Chapter 302: 300: Make a Plan (Subscribe)
Rooms,
Rest area.
Luo Yi personally brewed three cups of black tea and pushed them in front of each person. He also picked up a cup himself and waited for Angel's reply.
Ange frowned and did not speak immediately. Instead, he organized his words for a long time before saying, "Actually, I don't know much about the specific situation.
But the problem is, when I first arrived, Bremen was not in such a mess!"
"It was quite chaotic back then, but whether it was the gangs or the underworld, they still followed a cruel order!"
He paused, tilted his head, and gave an example: "Just like the city of Oakland before you came, the gangs, thieves, assassins, and thieves seemed to be running rampant, but in fact they abided by some kind of underground rules."
"But now, in just over ten days, the situation in Bremen has completely changed."
"Those gangs seemed to be driven and split into two factions, attacking each other.
The assassins took on the mission, killing with a clear target;
Thieves were rampant, rummaging through boxes and cabinets everywhere, as if they were looking for something.
There are more shady people gathering in Bremen, seemingly waiting for something."
"Because of these things, Bremen has become a panic city. It feels like a powder keg. No one knows when it will explode!"
Luo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and asked again: "Have you ever tried to figure out why?"
"I thought about it! However, there's no concrete news in the underground world. Instead, there are a lot of rumors and speculations, and no one can tell whether they are true or false.
I think this situation is most likely due to a struggle within the upper echelons of Bremen."
"Then investigate further?"
Ange said with a bitter face: "My Lord Earl, you don't know how serious the barriers between the upper and lower classes are here.
For us strangers who came across the sea, being able to come into contact with some big businessmen is the best we can do!
Going further up, normal channels are completely inaccessible and there is no way to get in."
As he said this, he couldn't help but rub his face with his hands, and said with a bit of fatigue: "Actually, I have a plan to directly kidnap a noble with status and ask him some questions.
But Bremen is in this situation now, and I don't want to alert the enemy, so I gave up."
"We are here to seek revenge after all. As long as Bremen's affairs don't involve us, they have nothing to do with us!"
There is some truth in what he said.
After all, they were in another kingdom, thousands of miles away. As long as they achieved their goal, why bother with so much else?!
However, Luo Yi still asked: "Ange, don't you have any ideas at all?"
Ange hesitated a bit, but still said, "I don't have accurate information, but I guess it involves a struggle between royal power and divine power.
After all, Bremen is one of the largest cities in the Kingdom of Sardinia, directly governed by the royal family. The archon sent here and the cardinal of the Temple of the Sun are even more conflicting!"
Oliveira then spoke: “Let’s talk about the Iser family?
And what about Ignaz Iser?"
"In this regard, I have the most comprehensive information and the most news."
Ange nodded, took a sip of the black tea, and said, "The Isel family has the title of honorary viscount, but it is not a noble family with real power and no fiefdom.
But in Bremen, he is doing very well.”
“Although the Isel family tried their best to conceal the truth and not let anyone talk about it, there were many rumors among the people that they started out as pirates.
Before, he was a pirate who committed all manner of evil, killing, and looting on the vast oceans. However, he obtained a letter of marque from the Sardinian royal family and helped win that battle."
"It was also because of their contributions to the royal family that they were qualified to whitewash their identities and receive the title of honorary viscount. In the blink of an eye, they became nobles."
“The surname Iser is not ancient, it must have been created temporarily.
Moreover, it is difficult for such people to squeeze into the mainstream aristocratic circle. They are born with original sin and are despised and looked down upon by others!"
“It is said that many big pirates made the same choice at that time, but few of them were able to succeed in the end.
It was because these people could not stand the nobles' sarcasm and ridicule, so they often made a big fuss and left the kingdom to become pirates.
There are many examples like this, but the Iser family has forged its own path.”
"That Viscount Iser saw he couldn't fit in with the aristocratic community, so he took a different approach and sent all his descendants to the Church of the Sun God, claiming they wanted to pray before the deity for atonement.
They really started from the most basic apprentices, and invested money and resources to allow these people to grow step by step, constantly climbing up the church ladder and reaching high positions."
“At this point, no one dared to look down on the Iser family anymore.
And that Ignatz Isel, although not the highest-ranked of the Isel family, is the one with the best cultivation talent. After decades of hard training, he achieved the status of a fourth-rank Scourge Knight through the power of his oath."
“It was also because of him that the Iser family’s prestige reached its peak.
Even in Bremen, few nobles dare to speak loudly in front of them."
“Also, although the Iser family doesn’t have any fiefdoms, their business empire is vast, involving shipbuilding, shipping, cigarettes, and other industries.
Of course, rumors in the underground world say they also maintain good relationships with some major pirates, purchasing various supplies for them and even helping them sell stolen goods."
"This alone makes them earn a ton of money every year!"
Hearing this, Luo Yi couldn't help but fumble with the hilt of his rapier and concluded, "This Isel family really has it all! eh?!"
"Indeed!"
"So there are no weaknesses?"
"Well, there is a little bit of that, but I'm afraid it won't be of much use to us."
Ange straightened up and continued, "I heard a priest mention this before. Ignatz Iser's qualifications are already sufficient, but unfortunately, he awakened the earth element Dou Qi instead of the sacred element.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be where I am now!”
"This really doesn't have much effect."
Luo Yi looked at Oliveira and asked, "Teacher, what do you think?"
Oliveira raised his eyebrows, his eyes becoming even more indifferent and cold: "We are here to kill him, why should we worry so much?
I say, find him, stop him, and then, kill him!"
"That's really... straightforward!"
Luo Yi couldn't help but twitch his lips, then looked at Ange and asked, "Do you have a plan?"
"I agree with the teacher's idea!
However, I think it's too dangerous to attack him in the city center. It would be best to lure him to a secluded place and then kill him!"
"It's like luring the snake out of its hole!"
Luo Yi thought for a moment, then stood up suddenly. He walked to the window and looked out.
It was late at night, and the Vermont Cathedral was plunged into complete darkness.
In such a large area, there is not even a trace of light, but it looks like a crawling monster.
Shaking his head slowly, Luo Yi looked in another direction.
Spanning more than a dozen blocks, large and small, we were almost at the east end of Bremen, where there was a brightly lit area.
Luo Yi's eyes completely turned into vertical eagle eyes. Even though it was far away and in the darkness, he could still see the manor full of flower gardens and trees.
There is a gurgling stream running through the manor, and the clear spring water seems to be able to reflect people's shadows.
There is also a fountain built in the center of the manor!
It was an image of an angel protecting the world, with wings spread and head slightly raised, as if about to fly into the sky, very lifelike.
Ange and Oliveira also walked over to him and looked through the window.
Roy asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of Ignaz Iser?"
Ange said: "Every morning, he would go to the Vermont Cathedral and stay there almost all day.
Only in the evening, when the sun sets, will we return to the Flowing Water Garden.
It's like this almost every day, with little change, no extra social engagements, and no attending various aristocratic banquets."
"That's why he has such a great reputation within the cathedral. Everyone says he's the most devout believer, demanding of himself like those ascetics."
"Vermont Cathedral won't work. No one knows how many powerful people there are there. So, let's go to the Flowing Water Garden."
"At night, disguise yourself as a thief, break into the Water Garden, create some trouble, and then quickly escape. Lead him out of the city, preferably to the Silver Sea.
Then, Teacher Oliveira attacked and killed him directly."
Luo Yi said this, but before he could continue, Ange spoke directly: "This thief must be me!"
Luo Yi turned his head to look at him and said, "I'm talking about myself, Ange, you're still a little weak!"
At this time, Angel was already a second-level LV8 Wind Chaser Swordsman and a first-level LV3 Magic Apprentice. He had taken almost the same path as Oliveira. He was proficient in swordsmanship and marksmanship. He was also good at hiding and had learned many methods of assassins and thieves.
Of course, he is definitely stronger than Oliveira of the same period, because he has also mastered the secret sacred skill [Divine Sigh]!
Such an Ang is definitely not weak no matter where he is placed.
If you look at his age, he is definitely a genius in cultivation.
However, in front of Luo Yi, it is absolutely true to say that he is weak.
But Ange also had his own reasons: "I am a little weak, but, Lord Earl, weakness is the truth!"
"If you were to dress up as a thief, I'd be scared. I'd be exposed the moment you made a move. Your fighting spirit, physique, and combat skills—how in the world do you resemble a thief?"
"We want to lead him out of the Flowing Water Garden and out of the city, but I'm afraid you might just fight him."
Luo Yi couldn't refute this.
Oliveira's mouth twitched as well, and he also said: "Master, this is what Ange should do. He also needs experience."
Luo Yi turned his head to look at Oliveira, then turned his head to look at Ange: "He is a fourth-level strongman. Although he is not known for his killing, he is not weak either.
Ange, are you sure?"
Ange grinned and said, "Back then, when the Earl fought this guy, he was only at the second level!"
"Okay then. I'll do as you say."
Oliveira spoke again, asking, "When do we start?"
"About three days. We need some time to familiarize ourselves with the roads in Bremen, scout the area, and make various preparations.
Three nights from now, Ignaz Iser will die!"
Having said that, the three of them looked towards the water garden again, murderous intent flashing in their eyes!
First update, second update will be a little later
