"What?! Laurent is dead?"

The lazy Archbishop looked at the waiter who left and returned not long after, his deep voice filled with uncontrollable shock.

"Yes, except for some important slaves who are still under control due to the existence of slave contracts, most of the slaves under Lorante have become ownerless slaves. I have sent people to recover the losses."

The lazy waiter who was kneeling below said in a deep voice.

The lazy Archbishop took a deep breath to calm down, and then said: "You did a good job. You must control the slaves who thought they had escaped freedom as quickly as possible, and don't cause too much trouble like the death of Charles last time." mess."

For what happened before, he was held accountable by officials sent by the lord of Olin City, Marquis Boone.

Although the kingdom's administrative agencies will not interfere with the affairs of the Sloth Order, if there is trouble related to slaves, they will immediately go to the local Sloth Order to hold them accountable. If they do not handle it well, they will have to pay a large fine. .

It can only be said that although various countries have accepted the existence of the Sloth Cult, there are still many overt and covert restrictions and requirements.

For example, relevant strongholds and buildings cannot appear on the surface; another example is that after a slave riot occurs, control must be taken as soon as possible, etc.

"Where did he die?" Archbishop Lazy asked calmly.

"Still checking, we can only confirm that he is not in the city now."

"Humph, if it's not in the city, it must be in his secret manor."

"Yes, I will arrange for someone to investigate later."

"No, you go there in person. The person who can kill Lorante must be an emerald-level transcendent." The lazy Archbishop narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There are not many people in this city who have the strength to kill him. Go and see See who did it."

"Yes, I will investigate it myself." The lazy waiter nodded in agreement.

three days later.

The lazy waiter returned to the secret hall.

"Why have you been here for so long?" The lazy Archbishop sitting in the main seat frowned slightly.

"I went to track down the Emerald Level Transcendents in the city, so it took me some time." The lazy waiter quickly explained.

"So, what are the results of the investigation?"

The lazy waiter calmed down, and then replied with a strange expression:

"I went to check the body of Lorent. He was stabbed through the right eye by some kind of sharp weapon, but before he died, his spine was stabbed with powerful and exquisite swordsmanship. However, it should not be the cause of these two injuries. It's the same weapon, but the wound on the right eye is very similar to... the one left by the Hidden Blade."

The lazy Archbishop listened calmly for the first half of the sentence, but when he finally heard "Hidden Sword", his eyes suddenly fluctuated a little.

Seeing that the priest had no intention of speaking, the lazy waiter continued: "After checking the body, I will go to the city to investigate the Emerald Level Extraordinary who passed by recently."

"Huh? You mean the person who did it was not a transcendent from Olin City?" Archbishop Lazy asked.

"Yes, I have repeatedly checked the wound that pierced the spine. It is basically definitely a two-handed sword. There should be no Emerald-level transcendent in the city who uses a two-handed sword. Moreover, there is a lingering magic aura nearby. Defeat Luo Lan A special person is probably a magic swordsman who also practices magic."

"Besides the corpse, I checked the nearby battle marks. There should have been two people present that day. One of them was very weak, maybe only an elite level. According to the hidden sword scar on Lorent's right eye, that person might be He's from the Assassin's Resistance."

"As for the other real emerald-level transcendent, I really can't find out who it is. None of the emerald-level transcendent who passed by Olin City recently can match him, and no one who has settled in the city can match him. Characteristics of that person.”

The lazy waiter told his guesses one by one.

Assassin...Hidden Blade...Mysterious Emerald Level Extraordinary Person...

The lazy Archbishop's eyes moved slightly, and he went over the information in his mind. He lowered his head slightly and pondered for a while.

Being able to serve as the Archbishop of a city, he is naturally not an ordinary person. He quickly put all the clues together and had an idea in his mind.

Then, he raised his head and asked the waiter: "I remember a long time ago, did I arrange for a young elf to be sent to the exchange under Lorante?"

The lazy waiter was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't know why the priest suddenly asked this.

But he still recalled it slightly and replied: "Yes, Lorante didn't know about this. He only thought that the elf was an ordinary slave with an owner, and he didn't know that we arranged it."

The Lazy Archbishop nodded briefly, "At first I just thought of letting her go out to show off, to see if I could hook one or two of her kin, but in the end I forgot about her. I didn't expect that she would come in handy today."

"I have some guesses about the identity of the mysterious emerald-level transcendent, but I still need to confirm it."

After saying that, he took out a piece of dark yellow paper filled with writing, pressed his fingers together on the paper, and recited a few spells silently, and a glimmer of light immediately appeared on his fingertips.

The lazy Archbishop wrote a few words on the paper, then gently tossed it to the waiter at the foot of the steps.

The waiter quickly took it, glanced at the contents on the paper, and his eyes narrowed.

"This is the temporary slave contract of the young elf. With it, you can sense the location of the elf. If you find her, you may also be able to find the mysterious emerald-level transcendent." The priest said calmly.

"What should I do if I find that mysterious person?" asked the lazy waiter.

He didn't want to have a conflict with an emerald-level transcendent. After all, Lorante was dead, and the authorities would first seek accountability from the local priest. Even if he had something to do with him, he would not bear the main responsibility.

Compared to the above punishments, a conflict with an Emerald Level Transcendent might result in one's life being spared.

The lazy waiter is not under the compulsory control of the bishop. If it were an ordinary order, it would be fine, but he would not do something like this that might put him in danger.

He is not the kind of extraordinary person who makes a living by accepting commissions and licking blood from the edge of a knife all day long. He relies on the Order of Sloth and has the status of "Slothful Waiter" to become the bishop of a place on an equal footing with the bishop of Olympus City. It's a matter of time.

When the lazy priest heard this, he glanced at the waiter, as if he had seen his thoughts, and said coldly:

"There is no need for you to fight him. You first find the location of the young elf. If the mysterious emerald-level transcendent is nearby, come back and report. If the other party is not there, if you have a chance, bring the young elf back. Then People will naturally come to us.”

The lazy waiter breathed a sigh of relief and took the order to retreat.

The priest looked at his subordinate's leaving figure, snorted coldly, took out the golden ball-shaped thing from his robe, rubbed the smooth surface with his palm, and thought to himself:

"Except for the young Marquis, the only assassin in the city who has a hidden sword is Altaïr. In the previous actions, he did get to know two extraordinary people with good strength. Excluding the magician, there are only There is only that mysterious elf. I didn’t expect that elf to be an emerald-level transcendent..."

He naturally knew that the elf had killed many gold-level transcendental beings on his own, but this kind of thing could also be done by Lorante, who was about to break through, and it could not be used as a basis for judging whether the opponent was an emerald-level person.
