After the moon rose to the top of the head, the hot air gradually cooled, and Tusa sat in the garden, where he could see the ignition revealed in the taverns, brothels and casino windows in the distance.In the night, like the stars in the sky, it shows the prosperity of the city.

Only in the inner city of the royal capital can see such a scene - even after the end of the evil epidemic, close to one-third of the civilians in the outer city died, it will not affect the inner city aristocracy's drinking and music.If you listen carefully, you can still hear the small crying that comes with the evening wind.

The house with gardens and pools, which he had bought for 150 golden dragons, was located on a hillside near the outer edge of the inner city, and there were not many people hanging around even during the day.In addition to receiving informants and exchanging information, he usually does not live here, but chooses to stay overnight in the hotel or go to the underground numberer for a few days.

“My lord, they are all here.”

One man came out of the room with an oil lamp, and it was Hill Fox, lurking in the finger of a skeleton.

“Light the candle,” Tsa nodded and went into the house.

In the dim candlelight, Hill and the other five sat around a round wooden table, and saw the guards getting up and bowing their heads.Tsusa looked at them expressionlessly, hoping to see if they were reliable from each other's expressions and small movements.Regrettably, Miss Nightingale had followed the flotilla back to the border town, and if she had been there, she would have been able to make the most accurate judgment at once.

They are Hill's companions, members of the "Dove and Hat" acrobatic troupe, the avengers who are full of resentment against the new king.A week ago, the dock siege battle happened to be lurking in the dream water of a person ventilating the news, and Thasa learned about the mouse's night attack plan in advance.Now that the evil epidemic has gradually subsided, he has decided to see this group of people in the king's house, and if it is true, as Hill said, they are some good intelligence officers.

“Other than Mr. Fox, let others briefly introduce themselves,” Thasa said.

“My name is Iwayama, my lord,” said the loudest man, first.He was nearly six feet tall, and the muscles in his arms seemed full of strength.“Playing a wrestler in acrobatics, and now a blood sail has been added.”

"I am a clown," said the little man sitting next to the rock, pointing to his nose, who looked to be the youngest of all men, about eighteen or nine years old, "and of course a clown in the regiment, but I did not mix in the rats, but I performed some tricks in the taverns."

“Jom and Neil,” the next two were brothers, no different from the typical civilian in the outer city, in terms of appearance or dress.They gave all their wealth to the priests of Peych, who are now “devout believers” in the church.Tsa couldn't help but think that the two of them had a good feeling for Hill's wife at the same time.He cast his doubts and turned his eyes to the last man.

"They call me a magician, my lord," he said again, "I pretended to be a disillusioned person into the water of dreams, but they mostly died and fled, and even Tanis, the 'murdering teeth' were killed by the church's trial army, and everyone was busy looking for a new home."

“He died at the hands of the trial?”Tsusa raised his eyebrows, “Aren’t they the ones the church secretly supports?”

"I also heard from others," he spread his hands, "Tanis, after the defeat of the siege dock, returned to the East End by an ambush of the skull finger, and in the end there were only a few dozen people left."That night he went to the church with his men who had stayed in his lair that night, and only two or three cronies returned the next day.I heard them say that he quarreled with the priest of Peych, and then he was stabbed in the chest by a shot by God's army... In short, the dream was finished.”

It turned out, Tusa thought, probably because of the hard-to-save loss of strength, the head of the ferocious tooth is in jeopardy, and he wants to seek church help but is rejected, and then there is a dispute.But these are all insignificant details, he only needs to know that the dream water is now alive and dead.Undoubtedly, this is good news, and he may take this opportunity to pull together a group of rats with nowhere to go and expand his intelligence sources.

"You have learned my name from Hill," Tusa said, knocking on the table, "and I am the personal guard of His Highness Roland Wimbledon, responsible for gathering information for him from all over the kingdom."Since you are willing to come here, you have already expressed your mind in a sense.But for the sake of seriousness, I would like to ask again, are you willing to serve your Highness?”

“We will!”Five people are on the way.

"As long as I can get justice from Tifeko Wimbledon, I'll do anything."Hill added word.

“Very well, we will meet here at the same time every week, and if there is any emergency information, we can also report to me in advance—just put a pot of purple flowers at the door of the house.”Tsusa explained, "I noticed that night, I will wait in the room that night for you to come, knocking on the door, remember to use three long and two short signs, understand?" 」

Seeing them in unison, Tsa nodded with satisfaction, "A qualified intelligence officer will not easily expose himself, the first thing you need to do is to hide your identity."Whether it is to search for information on its own or to develop offline to collect suspicious information, it is necessary to keep this in mind.If you have any financial needs, you can apply to me... remember, don't act lightly.Tiffico will not sit on the throne forever, as His Royal Highness clarifies.”He paused, “So, what else do you have to say?”

"Mr. Tiffac has returned from the East End today," said Hill. "You must have received the news, too."

The new king's knights marched in the afternoon with a banner from the eastern gate into the city, which was witnessed by many residents, and Tsa did not answer, and he knew that the other party must be below.

"But in the evening I heard from Blackham that Tifeko seemed to be planning to recruit a group of rats into the army on the condition that they had become free people, and that the heads of the skull fingers had gone to the palace, which did not sound like a fabricated."

Calling a mouse?Tassa remained calm on the surface, but his heart was jerked, and it was clear that these rats could not fight as formal soldiers at all, so the raiding tactics of using pills to strengthen them as consumables was the same as the last attack on the long-song fortress.What is the other’s goal this time?

"That's interesting news," he said, "you remember to stare at the mouse, and report it to me as soon as there is any news."

Hopefully, Tifeco Wimbledon is not heading west, Thasa thought.(Unfinished.
