Chapter 879 Information
The "Grilled Fish Hotel" in the hazy night was as old and deserted as ever, and it seemed that nothing had changed, but Fernando no longer dared to approach, and after leaving a memorization of the agreed location, he turned into a nearby slum, hiding on a big tree with dense branches and leaves, quietly looking down at the dilapidated houses below.
When the silver moon rose to its peak, a figure stepped on the clear brilliance all over the ground and quickly approached the dilapidated house.
After carefully checking that no one was following, Fernando floated down from the tree and said in a low voice: "Old man, you are not dead yet!"
"I'm still alive even if you die!" This figure is clearly Old Green.
According to President Arnold's orders, he continued to stay at the "Grilled Fish Hotel" and was responsible for contacting Sharp of the "Gift of Deep Blue", but he was no longer involved in the transfer of contacts between the union's magicians.
Fernando snorted and got to the point: "Old man, tell Sharp that we have decided to take on the mission to assassinate Alfonso, hoping that he can provide all the information about Alfonso."
"What? Did you really decide to assassinate Alfonso?" You contagigued the madness to the president?" Old Green was extremely surprised, in his opinion, this kind of thing was completely angering the church, and there was no possibility of success at all, but it was easy to get involved with the entire union!
Fernando glanced at Old Green mockingly: "Cowards can't understand the meaning of adventure."
"It seems to be a little sure." Old Green lived for almost two hundred years, and his vision and insight were extraordinary, and he could sense the change in the problem just from Fernando's ridicule.
"Cowards are really sensitive." Fernando does not have the noble character of respecting the old and loving the young, and his mouth is his main characteristic, but he is also a magician who came out of death and blood, and has experienced countless dangers, so he will not forget to remind old Green, "Don't let Sharp know that we are a little sure."
He added to the tone of "a little", and even in the face of Old Green, he did not tell the whole truth.
Old Green sneered: "Am I a reckless person like you? But why would you ask Sharp to provide information, not afraid that he will deliberately frame you or secretly report it to the church?"
"When we lure Alfonso out, Sharp will definitely realize that we have accepted the 'mission' and start acting, if he will inform the church, it will be fine at that time, so it is better to give him a little trust now, this is the basis of cooperation, and it will also save time in gathering intelligence." At first, Fernando himself had been entangled in this, because President Arnold and Douglas both said there was no problem, so he decided to come, but after careful consideration, he vaguely grasped the key point, but he was not as sure as the old fox.
Maybe the old fox is hiding something else, so he believes in the sincerity of Sharp's cooperation?
Old Green nodded: "Sharp has been staying at the Grilled Fish Hotel for the past two days, as if waiting for your reply, I will tell him your words now."
"By the way, there are also these mathematical books and notes, which Douglas and I gave to Hathaway." Fernando handed over more than a dozen books with black covers to Old Green.
"Do you really want Hathaway to embark on the dangerous path of magic?" Because of Hathaway's father, Green Sr. has always been reluctant to agree with this.
Fernando smiled and said, "Hey, can we force this kind of thing? Old man, let go of your worries, while you are not dead, it's time to find a lady and give birth to a child of your own, don't put extra love on people who don't need it."
He hid his faint concern in the mockery.
Old Green said nothing for a while, and then sighed long: "I remember when you first arrived at the Magic Tower, what a cute child, full of energy, stubborn and delicate, and secretly crying when taught by your teacher, when did your mouth become so stinky?"
The black history was exposed, causing Fernando's face to turn red, and his eyes quickly brewed a terrifying "storm", but before he roared, Old Green had already disappeared into the darkness and returned to the "Grilled Fish Hotel".
"Damn old guy!" In the end, Fernando could only curse very quietly, for fear of alarming the people nearby.
About ten minutes later, Old Green returned and said to Fernando seriously: "Sharp promised to provide Alfonso's information and give it to you tomorrow at this time."
"He knows how we react when we take on the task? What is the change in expression and breath?" Fernando asked cautiously.
How could Old Green not pay attention to these details, without thinking about it, he replied directly: "I was a little stunned, and then I kept a relaxed and comfortable smile, well, I also scolded, 'Arrogant and arrogant, I don't know how weak your strength is, see how you die!' 」
Fernando outlined the scene several times in his heart, but did not notice anything unusual about Sharp, so he nodded gently: "Tomorrow I will hide in the hotel and secretly observe the process of him giving you information."
At times like this, the more careful the better, Fernando is not an inexperienced young man.
"By the way, here is Hathaway's letter to you and Douglas, which should have been written two days ago, and Sharp has been carrying it with him." Old Green took out a thick letter from his arms.
"Letter to us? What will she write?" Fernando didn't believe that he and Douglas had established a deep friendship with Hathaway in just two short periods of time, so he was quite stunned.
After he checked it with magic, he carefully unfolded it, and saw that the handwriting on the letter was beautiful and beautiful, but except for the mathematical questions he copied, there were no extra words!
"Hehe......" In this regard, Fernando could only laugh dryly.
…………
The next day, before the sun set, Fernando sneaked into the "Grilled Fish Hotel" and hid in the kitchen behind the bar.
About an hour after dinner time, Sharp, who looked like a tumor on the bridge of his nose, came alone and threw Old Green a stack of crumpled paper: "All the details I can know are on it."
He was no stranger to assassination, and knew what information would work, after all, when the Church of Truth first rose, it was common for knights to cooperate with clergy to assassinate magicians.
Seeing Old Green looking at him without saying a word, he snorted heavily: "If you doubt the authenticity of the information and verify it yourself, I am just a customer, not a servant."
After saying that, he spread his hand: "Where's the letter?"
"What letter?" Old Green was stunned for a moment.
"The reply to Hathaway, the possibility of their failure is very high, if they don't reply in the past few days, I'm afraid they will never reply." Sharp still looked down on the strength of Fernando and the others, and Fernando, who was peeking in the kitchen, secretly clenched his fists.
Old Green took out a letter full of answers and handed it to Sharp solemnly: "Do you really want to assassinate Alfonso?"
He was keenly aware of the little eagerness and deliberate pretense of indifference in Sharp's attitude, which was a tacit understanding of years of cooperation, and Fernando couldn't see it at all.
"What do you think?" Sharp didn't answer directly, smiled lightly and asked rhetorically, then took out another letter from his arms, "This is Hathaway's doubt after studying yesterday."
Fernando doesn't have to look at it to guess what type of content is inside.
When Sharp had a glass of spirits, ate a grilled fish, and was about to leave, he suddenly smiled at the kitchen wall and squeezed his eyes.
"He found me......" After a while, Fernando walked out of the kitchen and looked at the darkness where Sharp's back had disappeared.
Old Green smiled and said: "When we were adventuring before, he was always the best at finding lurkers, maybe there were any special skills, I forgot to remind you."
Fernando didn't have time to rant at him, carefully looking at the information provided by Sharp.
…………
"According to the information provided by Sharp and other intelligence corroboration, it can be seen that Alfonso is a very tough and very hostile person to magicians, harsh enough to be called brutal, good at fighting, and has many cases of active pursuit, and his attitude towards the nobles is very unfriendly, and it is because of the great conflict with the Vaorite family that he was sent to us by the Pope to ......." Two days later, in the ruins at the bottom of the lake, Fernando briefly described Alfonso's situation to President Arnold.
In the heavily protected secret room, except for the two of them, there was only Douglas, and Ramon and Veronica, who did not participate, were excluded due to confidentiality.
Anold looked through the information while listening to Fernando's narration, and finally nodded and said: "Very valuable information, you should start to act in the last two days, don't go out, adjust your state, and wait for my news."
"Well, I haven't found a problem with Sharp for the time being." Fernando also quietly observed and followed Sharp in the past two days, and was proud that he had not been discovered.
For the next two days, Douglas and Fernando, like other magicians, exchanged magic and items with others at the ruins at the bottom of the lake, and did not seem to be ready to participate in major operations at all.
Just after the early morning of the third day, Fernando and Douglas received Anold's order through the "Wind Signal Technique" and quietly left the ruins and entered the nearby Black Forest.
"The president is here." One step ahead of Fernando, Douglas discovered the traces of Arnold.
As soon as he finished speaking, the gray-haired Arnold came out of the darkness with a serious expression, no longer the usual smiling appearance: "Alfonso has left Rentat with at least seven high-ranking cardinals and paladins, without seeking the cooperation of the nobles."
Douglas nodded first, and then his face suddenly changed slightly: "Who is this?"
Only then did he realize that in the shadow next to Arnold, there was a person covered in a black cloak, surrounded by a faint black mist, lifeless, two red lights shining out from under his hood, holding a long scythe in his hand, he hadn't sensed his existence before!
Fernando was even more surprised, until Douglas reminded him that he had discovered this lifeless mysterious man!
"My necromancer, equivalent to a ninth-order transcendent creature, is the best at concealment, to be honest, I rarely used it before, almost no one in the union knew about it, but this operation is very important, I can only take out my trump card first and try to kill Alfonso ...... one blow" Arnold faded away from seriousness and introduced with a smile, and at the same time told Glass how to cooperate with himself and the necromancer's attack.
Douglas and Fernando nodded in relief, deeply agreeing with the president's all-out efforts.
"Then let's go, Sherwell County to the north." Arnold's gaze looked north.
