Chapter 27

In the middle of the night, some visitors were welcomed in the temporary stronghold of the Shadow Union.

"Terfort*Prior, the level 10 shadow assassin of Graal City, what do you want to do when you come to our town?"

The visitor arrives late at night, which is not the time for normal people to move.

Leicester town only allows free activities in the town at night during the three festivals: Harvest Festival, God of War Festival and Founding Day.

Generally, after 8 pm, except for some special areas - such as town center Avenue - only patrolling town guards and figures with licence certificates can go out to the streets.

Of course, people in civilian areas are also within the prohibition range.

"Mr. Tilligan, it is a bit rude to notify me in advance, but since you have found out my origin, you must also know why I came here."

The room where the two talked was brightly lit, and six candles were lit in this small room.

Defoe Priligy sat on the east side of the room, and the candlelight shone clearly on his face.

This is only one step away from entering the shadow of an intermediate professional. The assassin's eye socket is deep, with a hooked nose and pale cheeks that show that he is a person who does not often see the sun.

"Mr. Telligan, everyone has his pursuit. The nobles pursue titles and territory, the pastor pursues God's path, and my pursuit is just like them, but I just hope to go further. Tell me, what price does the Shadow Union need to pay to take root here?"

Defu* Priligy said very happily.

The other party was the main person in charge of the security of Leicester Town. Since he did not bring the town guard to the door, it means that everything is necessary.

The Shadow Union needs to gain a foothold in one place, and it is inevitable to deal with local lords. However, how to fight this deal depends on the specific strength of both parties.

And Tilligan will appear here because the Shadow Guild is powerful and cannot be suppressed by just a baron leader.

According to the information sent by the informants of the city of Gra, the Shadow Guild came to open a branch this time, and there were at least two professionals - and assassin professionals - assassin - assistant.

Even if you can catch all these people in one go, the revenge from the superior Shadow Guild is not something that a baron leader can afford.

"My sir means that you can stay here, but you have to pay one-third of the tax every month. Any task with more than thirty gold coins needs to be submitted to the master in advance."

Terligan was not polite and made a request directly.

Of course, there is only one adult in his mouth - that is, the master of Leicester territory, the Baron Leicester.

"Mr. Telligan, please note that the Shadow Guild is not a small merchant who is slaughtered. We can pay one-third of the tax, but we are not under the Baron Leicester, and it is impossible for us to report everything to him-even the king of the Kingdom of Gilt could make such a request."

Defort*Priel shook his head.

It is not too much for the local lord to charge one-third of the tax. In the Kingdom of Gilt, regardless of the underworld, white, this is just a regular proportion. Of course, whether it can be received depends on the ability of the tax officer.

For organizations like the Shadow Guild, it is a fantasy to make them pay taxes honestly.

However, now that the Shadow Guild has not yet established a stable foothold in Leicester Town, Defu doesn't mind paying the money first. After all aspects have stabilized, he has some ways to evade taxes.

Even regular businessmen have ways to evade taxes, not to mention that the business of the Shadow Guild is shameful. Since even the specific business must be kept confidential, how can we accurately estimate how many gold coins they should pay?

However, the release of tasks above thirty gold coins depends on the lord's expression, which is absolutely unacceptable.

That is equivalent to turning the Shadow Guild into a subordinate of the local lord, and it is a kind of subordinate who has to do something and takes the blame for nothing, not to mention losing freedom and being difficult to gain God's favor. Shadow Guild seems to be the same as a sewer in the eyes of many people, but this does not mean that they think so.

Seeing Defoe Priligy rejecting his request, Telligan didn't care.

Before he came over, he knew that the other party could not agree to this request.

The Shadow Guild is a giant, with the gods standing behind them including the God of Thieves, the God of Conspiracy and the God of Shadows, respectively corresponding to the three professions of thieves, liars and killers.

Although these three gods are all weak divine powers, the three gods united and almost took over half of the dark professions, which is definitely not easy to mess with.

If you want to go further, you must please these three gods. This is not about faith. In fact, these three gods really don’t care much about faith, but more about specific behaviors.

If the president of the Shadow Branch really becomes a lackey of the local lord, let alone the divine grace, you will laugh if you don’t get divine punishment.

"Well, if you refuse, there's another way." Trigan threw out his real purpose.

"Please speak!" Defu Priligy knew that the following words were the real purpose of the other party coming here. He leaned forward slightly, making himself seem more focused.

"boom--"

The wooden wall behind Defoe Prire suddenly shattered.

As the broken wood splashed, a black figure shot out from the broken wood all over the sky, and Defu Priligy's head flew up!

Trigan was shocked. The room in the civilian area was not big at all. Even if Defoe and Priligy were concerned about each other, the two were sitting a distance, but that was only about four meters.

The black shadow broke through the wall, without any warning in advance.

Trigan didn't even see clearly what weapon he used to cut off Defo Prire's head, and the black shadow had already rushed to him!

At this speed, Tligan didn't even have time to draw his sword out of the sheath!

"Huh!" Trigan heard a shock.

The black shadow that had already rushed to the front in a strange way, while rushing forward, moved one foot and a half, almost rushing past Trigan's shoulder.

"boom!"

The thick wooden wall shattered like pink, and the black shadow broke through the wall and disappeared into the vast night in an instant.

Telligan's hair was blown up by the wind—the wind brought about by the shadow as it rushed past him at high speed

Trigan sat on the chair, holding the hilt tightly with his right hand. For a moment, his whole body was extremely stiff, and his five fingers could not release the hilt of his right hand.

Cold sweat slowly oozed out of the forehead.

In just a few minutes, his forehead was densely packed with beads of sweat the size of mung beans. Some of the beads of sweat had already merged together and flowed down his cheeks.

In the past decade, Telligan has never been so close to death!

"What's going on?"

"Mr. Tilligan, are you okay?"

"What was it just now?"

"Someone is dead!"

"Get out!"

The town guards brought by Telligan began to quarrel and clash.

"Stop it all and form a formation quickly!"

Trigan calmed down, but found that the few confidants he brought not only did not act defensively, but were quarreling with the Shadow Union people, and he was furious.

As a former adventurer, Telligan hated this kind of behavior that was not prioritized - the black shadow attacked like lightning. In Telligan's view, let alone Defort and Priligy were unprepared, even if someone attacked head-on, the level 10 shadow assassin would be in danger.

As for yourself?

Although Telligan was confident that when confronting head-on, his combat power should be greater than that of Defoe Priligy (Telligan is already a level 7 sword and shield warrior), the black shadow was so violent that he might even lose his life if he met.

The terrible powerful enemy is hiding in the darkness. Now, don’t you quickly form a formation and defend yourself, and still have time to argue with others?

"Quiet!" Someone from the shadow union also came out.

Although Khruv was not famous for his combat effectiveness in the Shadow Union, he was "respected". At this time, he stood up and spoke, and immediately stabilized the Shadow Union members who were a little confused.

"Sir Telligan, what happened just now?" Khruv asked.

The room was not big, with a big hole in each of the left and right walls. Defu Priligy's body fell to the ground, his head rolled aside, and blood flowed all over the ground, and a murder scene was very vivid.

But Khruv did not doubt Telligan - in fact, as a think tank, he just saw what happened with his own eyes as a next door.

This is the temporary stronghold of the Shadow Union. Although it has not been completely renovated due to cost reasons, it is a basic operation to do some secret doors and peep holes.

The reason why he stood up was because Tligan was not dead - if the other party wanted to kill, then Tligan would definitely not have the power to fight back just now.

Since the other party did not kill Telligan, but directly broke through the wall and left, it means that the other party was not trying to kill all the people, but came specifically for the president of the Defu Branch. In this case, it is not very risky for Khruv to come forward to clean up the mess.

"If I say, I don't know what's going on, do you believe it?" Trigan said helplessly.

"Mr. Telligan, if President Defoe violates the law of the territory, we are willing to be investigated and punished, but just now, President Defoe and you were the only one in the room. President Defoe is dead. Don't you think you should give us an explanation?"

Although Khruv knew that Telligan was not the murderer, since Defoe Priligy was dead, he used the dead president to reap some benefits for the Shadow Union. Otherwise, wouldn’t his title as a ‘wise man’ be worthy of fame?

"Explanation? Explain what, how do I know who he offended?" Tligan pushed to the end, and he couldn't show his cowardly at this time.
