The woman in the carriage didn't stay deep in the mansion for long. A moment later, she emerged from a side door, holding a small, secret silver box inlaid with the royal emblem.
Before getting on the car, she whispered a few words with a gray-robed wizard who was sent out.
Mark captured a few fragmented but key words:
"... potions... the front lines are at a stalemate... Father's message... 'Purify Resistance' must..."
"...Blood Claw Tribe...sufficient consumables..."
"...Third sister must maintain the swamp mire...the kingdom can..."
If Mark remembered correctly, the gray-robed wizard was the trainee wizard that Anna had been responsible for following.
It’s a pity that as an elf who is not from the Karl Kingdom, Anna obviously doesn’t dare to break into the Royal Mage Tower of the Karl Kingdom.
Naturally, it is difficult to find out the true identity of this guy.
The carriage sped away, leaving behind a trail of icy air.
Mark leaned against the cold wall, cold sweat oozing from his back.
Those fragmented words quickly pieced together in his mind.
He originally thought that trading with the orcs was just a secret operation of the Bellucci family.
The special authorization order from the Kingdom of Karl might just be an order that Leonard obtained through bribery.
Now it seems that the Carl royal family not only acquiesced to this transaction, but even pushed the Bellucci family behind the scenes to provide the key "purification resistance potion" to the orc Blood Claw Tribe!
The purpose is to keep the war in the Lor Swamp at a stalemate, turning it into a meat grinder that continuously devours lives so that the royal family can profit from it!
As the king's third daughter, Irina is one of the key contacts in this dirty chain.
This discovery made Mark feel a chill that was far more biting than the wind and snow in the Arctic ice field.
The Bellucci family has become a giant beast entrenched in the kingdom, and behind it stands the royal family that controls the entire Karl Kingdom!
With only the four of them and their mother, trying to assassinate the king's daughter and the matriarch of the family, who was under strict protection, was like hitting a rock with an egg, and might even lead to the whole kingdom's full-scale pursuit.
What's more, this also involves the crime of betraying the human race!
He immediately passed the information to Monica, who was lurking in the shadows deep in the mansion, through the soul link.
Soul Link is a newly awakened skill after Mark Soul Harmonizer advanced to the intermediate level, which allows him to communicate with any intelligent life at the soul level.
It’s just a pity that with his current soul strength, he can only connect with ten targets at a time.
Monica's movements froze for a moment, and Mark could "feel" the shock and anger surging deep in her soul and a hint of coldness extinguished by reality.
After a brief silence, Monica's cold and resolute thought came:
"I will continue to wait at the planned infiltration point. You back up the evidence and submit it to the Holy Light Church's Judgment Office."
She did not give up on assassinating Irina, but was obviously aware of the terrifying level of the enemy's strength.
She needed another force, even if it was just to muddy the waters, create chaos or pressure.
The Church of Holy Light, this behemoth, even if it is corrupt from within, will never tolerate a human kingdom noble to so blatantly fund the orcs and sabotage its holy war to "purify the alien races."
This is a token of allegiance, and also a strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf.
Mark didn't hesitate.
He quickly copied all the evidence Monica had collected earlier.
The "Secret Order of the Royal Family of Karl (No.: Shadow-Seven)", the "Purification Resistance Agent Delivery List", the dock unloading photo scroll, and even the rubbing of the blood-stained torn page of his father's diary.
Using the clone split out by Xiao Mu, he disguised himself as a gray-feathered bird commonly seen in the royal capital, and tied the sealed evidence scroll firmly to the inside of the simulated bird's claw.
"Xiaomu, go to the Holy Light Judgment Office in the central square of the royal city. Throw your things into the 'Confession and Report' delivery port at their door and return immediately. Don't stop and don't let anyone or magic detect you."
Mark whispered the order and shared the detailed location of the Judgment Building and the image of the delivery port with Xiao Mu through the soul link.
Fortunately, Mark always went to the local Holy Light Church's controlled area to investigate wherever he went. He knew that the Holy Light Church's reporting mailbox was monitored by a dedicated person to see if anyone dared to report their pastor...
I believe that when a gray-feathered sparrow puts a letter of complaint into a mailbox, this abnormal behavior will definitely attract the other party's attention.
Her pink eyes flashed with understanding as Xiao Mu's mimicked gray-feathered sparrow silently slid out of the broken attic window, blending into the deepest night before dawn, and flew towards the core area of the royal city.
Its aura was restrained to the extreme, like a real shadow passing over the roof.
Shortly after Xiao Mu left, Mark keenly felt a cold and sticky sensation sweeping across the area where he was hiding, like a poisonous snake locking onto its prey!
Although it was only a very brief flash, it carried the cold murderous intent unique to high-level assassins.
The shadow guard Monica mentioned!
And more than one!
Mark instantly contracted his soul perception to the limit, clinging to the shadow of the wall like a stone sculpture, his heartbeat almost stopping.
He immediately warned Monica through the soul link: "Be careful! There are shadow guards searching nearby! At least two of them!"
At this time, Monica was lurking like a gecko in the shadow groove of the outer wall below the target tower, only one wall away from the terrace where Irina usually appeared.
The moment she received Mark's warning, her muscles tensed up like a poisonous snake ready to strike, and at the same time she restrained her breath to almost nothingness.
As a shadow assassin, Monica naturally knew that the shadow guards, who were also shadow assassins, might not be as perceptive as Mark's soul perception or Anna's natural breath perception.
But the opponent must be stronger than herself, a shadow assassin who has just entered the advanced level, so she deliberately used the appraiser's camouflage technique to disguise her breath as a stone sculpture.
However, she still underestimated the sharpness of the Shadow Guards in this territory they had managed for many years.
How could it not be abnormal if there was a new stone sculpture in the owner's back garden?
A spatial fluctuation so subtle that it was almost imperceptible spread out not far above her!
A blurry figure seemed to emerge from the texture of the wall, rushing towards her hiding place with cold murderous intent!
The speed is so fast, like a ghost!
Without a second thought, Monica's body shot out from the groove in an instant, not upwards, but sideways in a rapid motion that defied mechanics!
At the same time, he raised his hand, and a cloud of glittering dust mixed with phosphorus powder and powerful paralysis potion exploded behind him!
“Swish!”
The shadow guard's short blade cut through the clothes on her waist, leaving a trail of blood, but the sudden burst of bright light and dust obstructed her vision and perception.
But another cold aura had already appeared below where she landed!
The second shadow guard!
The thin sword in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, piercing Monica's back with a biting chill!
The timing was so cunning and ruthless that it blocked all her space to dodge.
