Quadruple split

What seemed like a digression ended abruptly.

For some reason, Cole suddenly felt relieved. Although his husband had repeatedly emphasized that what he just said was just casual chatting, he was still soaked in cold sweat because some things even he couldn't handle. Understand what the reason is.

"So."

Mo Tan took off his hood, then took out his mask [Baicai] from his luggage. While kneading the special texture of his face, he asked casually: "What I told you before, can I investigate it?" how's it going?"

Cole immediately looked solemn and said without thinking: "The results have been obtained. As you expected, the Bloodwing family does have a very secret hiding place. The location is under the Dark Night Church in the Prayer Area, and according to me After investigation, it seems that the Dark Night Church had colluded with the Bloodwing family a long time ago."

"Not detailed enough."

Mo Tan yawned and corrected lazily: "Compared with your so-called 'collusion', the word 'cooperation' is actually more accurate. After all, there are at least three high-level priests in the dark night church of decent size. The personnel are members of the Bloodwing family."

Col's eyes suddenly widened: "This"

"It doesn't matter. I don't intend to blame you for the failure of the investigation. After all, it has only been one day since I handed this matter over to you."

Mo Tan comforted him casually, and then chuckled: "But now that the line of the Dark Night Sect has been found, you are indeed a little careless if you missed the internal staffing. You must know that this is the city of freedom, and blood seekers are not allowed to see you." It's better to abandon this mainstream consciousness as soon as possible. Even if you really take this nonsense seriously, you can't forget that the nature of the organization 'Dark Night Sect' is actually not much different from the former."

Cole lowered his head respectfully: "Yes, sir."

"Well, keep reporting."

Mo Tan picked his nose and half-heartedly motioned for Cole to continue.

"Well, in addition to what I just mentioned, I have also conducted some relatively superficial investigations through other methods."

While organizing his words, Cole said carefully: "As far as I know, the Bloodwing family seems to have frequent contacts with the Kevos family, which is also a family of blood seekers, in the past few months, although on the surface it is just It is a relatively ordinary interaction among the same clan, but from many details, it can be found that the Bloodwing family has absolute initiative in front of the Kaivos family, which is less than one-third of its size."

Mo Tan nodded slightly: "Yes, you investigated this aspect in detail. Is it because Leisha is one of my concubines?"

Cole shook his head and smiled awkwardly: "That, actually is not the case, but I have spent some time in the Kevos family before. Although I usually don't get involved in any big things, I can still see a little bit. Something.”

"Well, that means that after you received the task of 'investigating whether the Bloodwing family hides any secrets', you immediately thought of the Kaivos family that you served before, and investigated it emphatically. I asked you to deal with a certain The older female housekeeper spent the night and gained something."

Mo Tan smiled approvingly, blinked and said, "Yes, your quick reaction and flexible mind have always been your greatest strengths."

Cole shook his head shyly: "It's all Mr.'s credit."

"Nonsense, you were not born by me."

Mo Tan grinned noncommittally and said with his hands behind his hands: "So, have you found any clues about the thing that the Bloodwing family hides underground in the Dark Night Sect?"

"I'm sorry, sir, but there has been no progress on this front."

In fact, some clues have been found. Cole, who was ready to conduct an in-depth investigation before getting Mo Tan's secret code, did not defend himself at all.

Mo Tan showed an expected smile and smiled: "It's normal. You have passed within the scope of your ability, but the difficulty behind it is indeed a bit high. Even if you were not suddenly called over by me today, It’s also difficult to get more intelligence without taking risks.”

Cole hung his head in shame, and did not use Mo Tan's words just now as an excuse to comfort himself.

"Don't think about it. My time is limited, and I can't allow you to waste it like this."

Mo Tan snapped his fingers to make Cole, who was subconsciously entering a state of introspection, come back to his senses, and then said leisurely: "Speaking of which, I often ask you to do some useless work during this period, such as asking you to investigate the Bloodwing family. Cole, what do you think of that kind of force that I've basically wiped out?"

Cole, who had also thought about this problem, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said truthfully: "I only know that it must be meaningful for you to ask me to do this."

"Well, I also think you don't understand it at all."

Mo Tan twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at Cole with some disgust: "Next time you are confused, just say you are confused. Don't look for opportunities to praise me. It's disgusting."

Cole nodded obediently: "Okay sir, I am indeed confused."

"It doesn't matter, you will know later."

Mo Tan casually changed the topic, then weighed the [Baizi] in his hand that had been shaped into a handsome face, and asked with a chuckle: "Raphael Bloodwing, have you heard of this name? "

Cole shook his head.

"Well, it's normal that you didn't investigate. After all, although he has a high status within the Bloodwing family, he is not the type who likes to show off."

Mo Tan covered his face with various expressions, and in a blink of an eye he turned into a handsome young man with a feminine temperament and a pale complexion (face only): "I will tell you briefly."

Raphael Bloodwing is one hundred and seventy years old this year. If you throw away the blood seeker blood, he looks like a completely human man. His mother is an ordinary human who has passed away long ago, and his father is the second in command of the Bloodwing family, who is also the current patriarch. Although Michael Bloodwing, the younger brother of Marquis Lionel Bloodwing, is not a pure blood seeker, and his strength is only at the level of a first-time high-ranking earl, Raphael's status in the family is indeed a little bit high. Not low either.

There is no other reason. This guy's brain is really good.

As for how easy it is, let's put it this way. As early as nearly a hundred years ago, the Bloodwing family was just a blood-seeking family slightly larger than the Kevos family. Although they could barely make it in the Free City, They have built a den with an area of ​​less than 500 square meters. However, compared with the locals who are also in the middle class, the Bloodwing family can only be considered to be at the bottom in terms of strength, financial resources and influence. In difficult times, even He couldn't even afford to drink good blood, and even if he could afford to hire servants, it was only because those applicants coveted blood seeker blood.

Although the head of the family, Lionel Bloodwing Marquis, is a strong man at the peak of the epic level and has the unique talent bonus of a blood seeker, he is still nothing in the Free City where masters abound. If you are not careful, If you offend any big shot, your ashes will be raised in a matter of minutes.

All in all, the situation of the Bloodwing family nearly a hundred years ago was actually very bad, and even the overall strength of the Kaivos family, who was also a member of the Bloodseeker group but had a wide range of connections, was not as good as them.

Until more than 80 years ago, Raphael Bloodwing, who had always kept a distance from the family, returned to the family after his mother passed away, and was secretly appointed as the family counselor after having a whole dinner with the current patriarch. , responsible for all external affairs of the Bloodwing family, and his authority is even higher than that of his father, Michael Bloodwing!

And Raphael did not disappoint the contemporary Bloodwing Marquis who trusted him. In the first hundred years of his life, he managed almost all the middle and low-level jobs in the Free City. He accumulated a large number of contacts in less than two years. Within ten years, the Bloodwing family has reached a cooperative relationship with the Dark Night Sect, the Thieves Guild, and a large number of small and medium-sized underground forces. Not only has it truly integrated into the city, but it has also developed smoothly, and its overall strength has quickly risen from the bottom. It has reached the third-rate level.

What is the concept of third-rate forces in the Free City?

Putting aside those complicated matters, just talking about strength and financial resources, there are probably a dozen or twenty epic-level strong men dominating the field, and the average annual gray/black income reaches about seven digits in gold coins. If even this kind of If you can't do it to a certain level, there is no way you will be considered third-rate by others.

The Bloodwing family did it!

In other words, Raphael Bloodwing, who worked hard after his mother passed away and wanted to win a future for himself, did it despite countless ups and downs in the process and even though the Bloodwing family experienced at least three events that could lead to the destruction of the family. The underground war, but maybe it was because he had never left his mother for nearly a hundred years, and his filial piety that he did not start developing his career until the old man passed away moved God. This handsome, wealthy and bright-minded careerist actually gave Blood Wing The family was helped up!

Then he died.

"ah?"

Cole, who was listening to the history of Raphael's entrepreneurship with great interest, was stunned at that time. He reacted for a long time before his eyes widened in shock: "Dead?!"

Mo Tan nodded sadly: "Yes, he's dead."

"How did you die?!"

"I killed him."

"That's okay."

Upon hearing that his husband had been killed, Cole immediately regained his composure. All his previous sympathy for Raphael, who died before his ambition was fulfilled, was thrown out of his mind, and he accepted this reality naturally.

No matter what virtues you have accumulated or what crimes you have committed, since you were killed by your husband, at least your death was not unjust.

Then he remembered a certain civilian who was casually killed by Mr. in Pato City.

[Well, even if you are wronged, it is not aggrieved.]

Then he thought of the muse from the Thieves Guild in Black Tower City who had been cheated out of hundreds of thousands and still had to be grateful to his husband and said he couldn't mess with him.

[Well, it’s not a pity even if you feel aggrieved]

Then he remembered the Violet Lord who had tried his best to make a comeback, but his entire family was killed before he could make a comeback, and finally died in a wilderness.

[Even if it’s a pity, there’s nothing you can do about it, just consider yourself unlucky. 】

Cole sighed silently, feeling that he and Xiao Ai's luck was so good that there was nothing to say. He felt cold all over when he thought about those poor people who tried to go against his husband or were targeted by him.

[And there is a second person like this, my God! 】

Suddenly he remembered what Xiao Ai had said before, that he had briefly cooperated with Mr. in the Violet Empire, and it was said that he had a series of love-hate entanglements with him, a female mage named Futaba. It is said that the lady was also a A ruthless person, although his skills are not as good as those of Mr., he has also driven many opponents and teammates crazy.

【This world is so big】

Cole couldn't help but feel deeply about his own insignificance.

"Anyway, the admirable Mr. Raphael made a deal with me in the last few hours of his life. Hey, boy, listen well."

Mo Tan took off the Baishou, then took out a black board with a texture similar to frosted glass, and scratched it twice, making an indescribable horrifying sound, and instantly brought Cole back to his senses as if he was in a daze. Reality.

"Uh-huh. I'm sorry, sir!"

Cole covered his ears with one hand and his heart with the other, holding back the severe pain in his head and tremblingly asked: "What kind of deal did you make with Mr. Raphael?"

Because he and his husband had a so-called 'deal', Cole was very concerned about this aspect.

"Ah, it's a particularly fair deal."

Mo Tan put away the small blackboard with a smile and said leisurely: "The content I hope he will fulfill is very simple, that is, briefly tell me about the situation of the Bloodwing family, including but not limited to the major events they are preparing recently, Akari Secrets behind the scenes, a list of industries that have been carefully disguised, future development directions, etc.”

Cole blinked: "Did he promise you?"

"Of course he agreed~"

"Ah? Then why did he die?"

"Because giving him a good time is the obligation I need to fulfill in that transaction."

Mo Tan showed a harmless smile, then kicked open the manhole cover next to him and tilted his head at Cole: "Are you ready to embrace the exciting nightlife?"

The latter immediately clenched his right hand and punched his heart, saying in a deep voice: "Yes, sir!"

"Very well, follow me."

thirty minutes later

City of Freedom, Prayer Area, Beside a Flower Bed

"The route was chosen well. Not only were there almost no witnesses to see us, but we also avoided all places along the way that might have anything to do with the Bloodwing family."

Mo Tan glanced at Cole and chuckled: "It's just a little delayed. Okay, no need to apologize. I know you have tried your best."

He waved his hand at Cole, who looked uneasy, then pointed his middle finger at the large church not far away, and asked casually: "You should have roughly grasped the secret base of the Bloodwing family. Is there a specific location?"

Cole nodded slightly and replied in a low voice: "Yes, sir."

"If you were asked to formulate an infiltration plan that works for you and me, how long would it take in the shortest time?"

"Well, if I were to do it from now on, it would probably take..."

"Okay, I'll give you ten minutes, let's get started."

"Ah what?"

"Nothing, you still have five minutes."
