253. Uneasy [two in one]
Gozzi has a very strong analytical ability. After summarizing the situation here, he continued to say: "The old woman died of self-destruction and did not leave any body, so I don't know if the accomplices already knew about this, so we have to continue to live here for a while."
"Hey? Shouldn't you evacuate immediately?"
Boni, who was not very smart and had a straight heart, said it without any brains.
"Of course not!"
Gozzi smiled cunningly: "That old woman is also a big figure in assassination and association. If her subordinates knew that she was dead, they might come back to take revenge. At that time, we will have the chance to catch them all!"
I have to say that Jiang is still old and Gozzi's plan is not very clever, but if Miko and Chelsea are a little more impulsive, they may fall into the trap. This is a clever plan, and the bet is whether they can tolerate hatred.
"Of course, you should be extra careful during this period of staying here, try not to go out, even if you go out, you have to have two people together. It would be bad if you are ambushed."
The biggest hidden danger of this plan is that the enemy is dark and we are open. Once we are alone, we may be besieged, which will not be worth the effort. However, their mission here has been basically completed, and there are no tasks that need to be left alone, so you just need to be careful.
After discussing the next action, everyone dispersed. Except for the girls of Colenalia, they had never experienced the battle, but the others were exhausted. The brief confrontation with Barbara was extremely thrilling. Even if they were not exhausted, they were under great mental pressure. As Guy said, if Gozzi had not felt anything wrong, they would have really been destroyed in the hands of the old lady.
Even Gozqi killed the opponent, which was a borrower of the imperial court. After all, Gozqi's damage to Barbaza was just a trivial wound. If it weren't for the special effect of Murasu's attack, it would be hard to say which one wins and who loses between the two.
Compared with the Imperial Assassination Force who was glad that no one died in this attack, Chelsea and Myoko who rushed to the mountains were full of sorrow.
"Instructor..."
Chelsea's mouth was rare without her favorite lollipop in her mouth, and she looked at the big pit in front of her in a daze.
Barbara asked her to rest before the battle began, but how could she let her two companions run on the mission alone and run to rest by herself?
Originally, Chelsea planned to use her transformation ability to sneak into the hotel for assassination, but no matter how smart she was, she didn't expect that she would transform into Guy and would cause unexpected trouble.
She was captured by a group of people.
The person who caught her was not from the Empire, or even for some complicated reasons, just because she turned into Guy, whom she turned into, actually lost the extra time money when she went to the red light district last night!
That's right, it was because of such a ridiculous reason that Chelsea, who had no combat ability, was captured by a group of thugs in the red light district, and they suffered a lot before finding a chance to escape.
However, after she escaped from the red light area, everything was too late. At the entrance of the hotel, she saw people who were supposed to be the target of Barbara's assassination and returned to the hotel together. After Barbara's death, they no longer needed to hide.
"The tributes they can raise themselves are limited, and I don't think they have such a wealth of funds, so the Empire immediately sent an investigator to investigate, and he was killed by cruel means. The gravekeeper left the information that he should not approach the tomb, and he also killed the investigator's family in the same way a few weeks later."
“——It’s in the imperial capital!”
There is no loophole in Gozzi's story, but Lin Yu would not believe it. No one knows better than him what kind of virtue the empire is now. Not only the memory of the original plot, but also the information learned from the intelligence network established after coming to this world made him firmly believe in this. Gozzi's vivid narrative is probably just to make everyone work hard for the empire.
As for the facts, Lin Yu is not sure, but it will never be as Gozqi said, because there is a fatal loophole in his words. Their flaws cannot be heard by Chi Tong, and they can't even hear by Black Tong, but to Lin Yu it was a joke.
That is—
Will this decaying empire really send investigators to the sake of people's property being plundered by gravekeepers?!!!
Lin Yu could even give a positive answer without even thinking about it. If such a thing really happens, the local consul will report the situation, but in the end it will definitely turn into a big deal. Unless there are major events such as foreign invasions, the empire will not pay attention to it at all!
"It would be too much for them to steal our treasures and not let us get close to the tomb, right?"
After a narrative, Gozzi perfectly made everyone except Lin Yu full of hatred for the gravekeepers. Although they were all assassins walking in the dark, the ideas they had instilled in them were particularly noble, because their actions were all fighting for the empire!
"You are going to Putra to attack the gravekeepers and take back all the treasures. This action can also save the financially difficult empire, which is a great task!"
If Lin Yu was just suspicious, when he heard the last sentence, Lin Yu could be completely sure that all Gozzi's words were lies!
Is the empire financially tense?
Stop kidding!
Strict taxes have made it difficult for ordinary people in the empire to survive, but financially it was definitely the richest era in the history of the empire.
Because, this corrupt regime brought together the vast majority of the wealth of the entire empire!
"Speaking of this, this was not our mission. Another assassination team has already gone there. By the way, if Hei Tong had not been left by Lord Lin Yu, he should have come in that army now."
Hei Tong, who was mentioned by Gozzi, blinked. She was too young back then and had almost forgotten for a lot of time. She didn't have much impression of that unit, but only remembered that it seemed to be a special unit that was strengthened with drugs.
"Fortunately I met my brother."
Hei Tong, who thought about this, showed a big smile to Lin Yu, who rubbed the little girl's head in a doting way.
Chapter completed!
