Kelsen leaned in front of the mansion and waited. Sai was always on time, neither early nor late, and appeared at the door as soon as the appointed time came.
"It's not completely dark yet. Are you okay if you go out now?" Kelson checked the dagger hanging on the inside of his windbreaker. The worst-case scenario was that they would confront the Inquisitor as soon as they rushed over.
"Sunlight will only weaken vampires but not kill them, and they are not afraid of stakes, garlic or anything like the stereotype." Sai put on his white gloves and made a gesture of invitation: "Carlisle sent the follow-up information. Let’s talk as we walk.”
The two of them were walking on the street. Winter was almost over, and the flow of people was gradually increasing. The two of them were walking casually on the roadside, just like normal people.
"The leader of this operation is Geralt. Do you remember this person we are talking about?"
"A former demon hunter of the Order of Holy Steel, he is a veteran with rich combat experience, and he also has dual powers." Kelson smiled easily, but there was only caution in his eyes: "It sounds very tricky."
He has also read the information about this demon hunter carefully. He is experienced and ruthless. Although he has not yet been promoted to the fifth ring, he is obviously more scheming than Nadia. To put it simply, it is not easy to fool, and you need to be very vigilant.
"Actually, in the few days after this man arrived in Kongsbod, he relied on his keen sense of hunting dark creatures in the wild and dug out many hidden heretics, including a five-ring wild witchcraft caster. Sai's tone was a bit fearful: "This man relied on ten trainee judges to surround and kill the wizard. In the end, only one person was slightly injured."
"It can be seen that this person is also very capable of tactical planning." Kelsen continued what Sai said: "If you want to deal with him, you must let him go alone."
"Fortunately, we are oriole now, and this mantis catching cicadas does not understand our existence." Sai stopped, raised his stick and pointed at the building in front of him: "We are here."
Kelsen looked at the building in front of him located in the middle area near the upper area. The stronghold of the intelligence dealer William was actually an orphanage?
Kelsen glanced at Sai, and then walked into the orphanage with him.
Everything in the orphanage is normal. After all, it can be opened in this location. I guess William has some official connections. When Kelson stepped into the orphanage, staff immediately took the two of them upstairs.
When those children who were locked in small rooms saw strangers coming, they quickly straightened up and showed their faces at the window, pretending to be pitiful, hoping to be adopted out of this place. But when they realized that Kelson and the others were not here to adopt a child, they withdrew indifferently.
Soon, the two saw William upstairs, but today he was in human form, and Kelson guessed it was him based on the color of his hair.
"Sai, I received your letter." William scratched the thick hair on his face and said with a heavy expression, "I also went to inquire about some information. I may be... desperate."
"After all, we can think of something." Sai shook his head and said, "I promise that I will take you out of Kongsbod."
"I have betrayed too many people, whether they are on your side or on the other side of the church, how much they wish I would die now." There was reluctance on William's face, but there was also resignation: "I have been walking on thin ice for half my life, and now it seems that I have passed away. We can’t reach the other side.”
"Not necessarily." Kelsen suddenly said from beside him.
William looked at Kelson, then turned to look at Sai. Seeing Sai nodded, William stood up and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Kelson, what do you have to say?"
"I wonder if Mr. William wants to live alone or for them all to live?" Kelson leaned back in his chair and crossed his hands.
Kelsen laughed twice: "What do you mean?"
"If I'm not mistaken, those orphans are all infected with certain mutations, right? Some of them are of alien blood." Kelsen smiled. With the blessing of the disease doctor's ability [epidemic perception], he could tell at a glance I can see what kind of children are in this orphanage:
"Ninety-nine percent of them will enter the field of witchcraft in the future, and aliens will definitely become half-human and half-monster. They are inherently unstable."
"Leave them to the church and you will survive. Aren't you the best at this?"
Snap.
William's sharp nails left three deep claw marks on the solid wood table. The canine teeth between his grinned lips could no longer bear to be exposed. His voice also changed from a low tone to a beast's roar:
"Take those words back!"
Sai's eyes also turned red. The staff and sword in his hand were half an inch out of the sheath, and he leaned forward to protect Kelsen. But Kelsen sat still without moving and continued to say to William:
"Then I understand what you mean. I have a way to keep you and your adopted children alive. Do you want to listen?"
William also realized that he was being tested. Werewolves are a violent and irritable race, and they can easily be discovered. He cleared his throat in embarrassment and put away his claws:
"Mr. Kelson, please continue to talk about your plan. If you can protect these children, I am willing to do anything." William seemed to feel that he was not convincing, so he repeated: "Everything."
"Kill the inquisitor named Geralt who came to destroy you, and I will have a way to arrange for those children. If he doesn't die, it will be a matter of time before he digs out everyone. As of now, it seems that he has not let the children go. Habit." Kelson looked directly at William: "Without the burden of these children, I think you should be able to hide in Kongsbod, and our Death Council will also help you."
William's pupils trembled violently, and after weighing it in his mind for a long time, he still agreed:
"Do this."
"I will tell you the specific situation. Go through the procedures and let me take a child away. Now that the storm is tight, it is better to be cautious." Kelson stood up and stretched out his hand to William: "If you want to go back on your word, you can do it before nine o'clock tomorrow morning. tell me."
"I will not go back on my word." William also stretched out his hand and shook his hand: "I said it, it's everything."
...
"What do you think?" Sai walked out of the orphanage and asked Kelson in a low voice: "Why do we accept so many children?"
Kelsen looked at the girl who was timidly following behind him and explained to Sai: "In the short term, we need manpower to control the Dark Hand and digest the Dark Hand's resources. Doesn't William also rely on these children to collect intelligence? .
Furthermore, when we need to escape Kongsbod in the future, we can also cultivate a new force with the resources of the secret hand. When we escape in the future, these people will also be our trump card. "
Sai looked at Kelsen meaningfully: "Your ambition... is very big."
Kelson laughed and rubbed the head of his little daughter next to him: "You're not bad either."
"But William, he must die, right?" Sai looked straight at Kelson, his voice a little low: "Consbord's church does not allow two failures, this time someone must take the blame. , William is on the list, he can’t escape.”
"He knows it in his heart." Kelson also restrained his smile: "He knows it better than anyone else."
...
Under the night, William sat quietly on his recliner. The dark clouds blocked the moonlight, making it difficult to see any clear light.
