Chapter 688 Snake and Rat 2

As night fell, the brother and sister left the hotel and returned to rest.

"Brother, someone is deliberately guiding those adventurers. Should we stop them?" The silver-haired girl took off her cloak, revealing her delicate face. She sat on the bed, tilted her head, and asked curiously.

The black-haired boy sat next to the silver-haired girl, reached out and gently touched her head, and said in a gentle tone: "Silla, we can't get involved in this matter."

"Brother, why is this?"

Sheila blinked and looked at her brother with a silly look on her face, seemingly puzzled by his answer.

Seeing his sister's silly expression, the black-haired boy couldn't help laughing, but he didn't answer her question directly. Instead, he comforted her lovingly: "Be good, don't think too much, I'll take you to eat roasted popcorn later."

"real."

When it comes to this question, the silver-haired girl's eyes sparkle and she can't wait to look at her brother.

……

In a small town outside the city of Obra, a three-tailed cat jumped onto a big tree with a mouse in its mouth, ready to enjoy its food.

A black shadow broke away from the shadow of the three-tailed cat, entered the yard, and dived underground.

In a cave a hundred meters below the courtyard, a shadow assassin wearing a cat-faced mask closed his eyes and rested to recover his magic power.

Feeling the vibration coming from above the cave, the shadow assassin wearing a cat-face mask suddenly opened his eyes, drew out a short blade with his right hand, and captured the man with his bare hands.

"Captain, it's me."

Hearing the familiar voice, the cat-faced masked shadow assassin did not put down the short blade in his hand. With suspicion in his eyes, he asked: "The agreed time is tomorrow afternoon. Why did you come back now?"

"Captain, I found important information, so I came back early." Looking at the short blade against his neck, the shadow assassin swallowed.

"Tell me, what have you found out?"

"Captain, this morning, when I was attached to the shadow of a crow and landed on the wall of a small courtyard, I accidentally discovered that Count Obra's daughter was secretly meeting her lover. When the two were doing it, she accidentally revealed an important piece of information."

The cat-faced masked shadow assassin retracted his short blade, but he did not let down his guard. He sat sideways on the wooden chair and asked, "Go ahead."

Seeing this, the shadow assassin came to sit down opposite the captain, poured himself a cup of hot tea to calm his nerves, and then began to report: "Captain, the daughter of Count Obra was... well, it should be after the job was done. She was lying in the arms of that man and accidentally mentioned that the Beast God Church sent a beast troop that is good at hiding to infiltrate the Stovia region, preparing to assassinate the master and Lord Kyle."

Hearing this, the cat-faced masked shadow assassin narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know the strength of those assassins?"

"I don't know."

After thinking for a while, the cat-faced masked shadow assassin finally gave up going back to report in person. He looked up at his subordinate and ordered, "You will immediately return to Solomon Province in the Stovia Region to report to Lord Kyle."

"Yes, Captain."

……

In a manor in the north of Obra City, a seductively dressed woman entered the study, looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the upper seat, bowed her head and said, "Father, the news has spread."

"Have you dealt with your lover?" Earl Coleridge Obra asked expressionlessly, looking at his illegitimate daughter.

The charming woman smiled gently and said softly, "It has been processed. It should be almost digested by the Obra bear now."

"Finish up well. Once this matter is exposed, the Church of the God of Beasts will not let our Obra family go." Coleridge's expression eased a little, and he looked at his daughter and spoke.

"Don't worry, father. In the city of Obra, apart from the spy, only you and your daughter know about this." The charming woman replied respectfully.

Thinking of the succubus blood in his illegitimate daughter, Coleridge hesitated for a moment and said, "More and more adventurers are pouring into the border. You should be more restrained in the near future."

"I understand, Father."

Watching his daughter's leaving back, Coleridge lowered his head to look at the administrative plan of Obra City on the desk, his thoughts drifting far away.

Unlike the nobles in the interior of the kingdom who live a life of luxury and debauchery, the Obra family, located on the border, always maintain a sense of crisis.

Recalling the power of the Sky City five months ago, Coleridge couldn't help but tremble.

He believed that he had no chance of winning a battle against such an army.

Whether he surrendered to the enemy openly or secretly, he did not dare to gamble the lives of thousands of his family members on whether the Church of the God of Beasts would find out.

After much thought, he came up with this method.

In the city of Obra, everyone knew about his daughter, so he made a fuss about it, and even if he was discovered, he could just push her out.

In addition, for the sake of stability in the Earldom of Obra City, he believed that the Church of the God of Beasts would not touch him easily.

"In the end, I have become the person I hate the most."

When he was young, he hated people who played both sides the most.

More than a hundred years later, he slowly understood why those people did this.

……

At nine o'clock the next morning, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the tent and fell onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.

Kyle sat in the chair, his face calm, listening to the report of the shadow assassin.

When the Shadow Assassin finished his last sentence, Kyle narrowed his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered to himself: "Interesting, there is actually a way to show kindness in this way, I think I have learned something new."

The shadow assassin kneeling in the tent was very confused when he heard Kyle's words, but he didn't dare to ask the reason.

"Tell Cat Face when you get back and ask her to make a tentative contact with the Earl of Obra City."

"Yes, Lord Kyle."

Kyle took out three low-level magic crystals, presented them to the Shadow Assassin, and said, "This is your reward."

The Shadow Assassin stretched out his hands to catch the three low-level magic crystals. He was very excited and thanked respectfully, "Thank you, sir."

"You go down."

"Yes, my lord."

After the shadow assassin left, Kyle left the tent and went to his master's tent to report the matter.

Inside the tent, Weilin leaned back in his chair and said with interest, "This is really interesting. I'm looking forward to where the assassin sent by the Church of the Beast God is hiding."

"My lord, I think there are only three possible places to get close to you." Kyle said after hearing this.

"Tell me."

"First, the soldiers of the vassal army."

"Second, the hard labor manager."

"Third, spy."

"Hahaha, you're right. If you want to get close to me, these are the only three most likely ways." Weilin looked at Kyle and said with a smile, "You take care of this matter. Try to capture him alive if possible."

"Yes, my lord."
