Pastor's Tantra

At this time, the invited reporters from various countries have basically arrived at the 21st ring.

Although the most rigorous selection has been carried out, there are still more than a hundred reporters who finally entered the scene. Even if all reporters try to keep quiet, the extremely silent temple still seems to have a slight noise.

Alice is among them.

This session of the Pope election ceremony made an exception to allow reporters to enter-this is an opportunity for the entire media industry, and it is also a difficult test.

Because there are more than one invited newspapers, under the prestige of the church country, which makes reporters dare not talk nonsense, it is really difficult to make a news that is eye-catching, interesting, fair and unique at the same time-in fact, they are basically mutually exclusive, and usually only two of the four items can be achieved.

Especially the Kingdom of Iris.

As the country with the most private newspapers, their news media industry has developed extremely rapidly. Good development usually means the arrival of involution. When buying newspapers becomes one of the important entertainments for civilians, how to take over the market from peers becomes the first issue to consider.

And the Iris people are never stupid.

They soon realized the most cost-effective solution: instead of improving themselves, it is better to attack opponents.

It is difficult to make your own news good, but it is much easier to attack the news of other newspapers.

This is also the reason why Alice, as a young reporter who is not very experienced, was promoted three levels in a row and temporarily became the chief reporter after only working for a year and a half.

As one of the few official newspapers in the Iris Kingdom, the "Iris Gazette" has always been besieged by a group of civilian newspapers. And this news is too big... Because the Church and the Pope are so powerful, even the editor-in-chief of the "Gazette" dare not take the blame.

Although there may not be problems, what if?

- As the most beloved young lady of the Harcourt family and the youngest daughter of the Duke of Harcourt, the Minister of Military Affairs, no matter how the news is written, I believe that few people dare to attack it.

That's why Hawkeye gave this task to Alice, who had just left the category of rookies.

Because she was indeed the most suitable person to take on this task - Alice, who had only undergone simple training and had not officially started killing people, could pass the scrutiny of the Church.

As for the fact that she would be accompanied by an assassin full of shadow power, this was also normal.

After all, she was a noble lady of the Harcourt family. It was normal for her to have a high-level guard force around her when she went on a business trip to such a far place alone - and there was no doubt that the extraordinary people who adapted to the path were almost the most suitable to act as guards, only slightly worse than the extraordinary people of the authoritarian path.

It would be strange if she really came alone without anyone. Not to mention, their whereabouts were covered up by the internal forces of the Church...

Everything was reasonable.

Now Alice was nervously writing something in her notebook. She kept writing a few sentences, and then erased a large part. She wrote a few words and drew a few cartoon patterns next to them. When she really didn't know what to do, she would let the pen tip poke the paper to cover up the anxiety and tension in her heart - although nothing was covered, this degree was just right.

It was especially suitable for her.

This was the state that a newcomer who was suddenly pulled up by the leader to take the blame should be in. None of the reporters around her doubted this. Only a few people looked at her with some sympathy, and a few people had ridicule and sarcasm in their eyes.

"... I don't know how the mentor is doing."

Alice murmured in her heart.

No one could understand her excitement and anxiety at this time.

It is said that among the candidates for the Pope of this generation, there is this Eternal Saint.

Then rounding it off, it is equivalent to assassinating the Eternal Pope in advance!

Honey Badger is the assassin mentor who taught her disguise and poison techniques, and he is also one of the only four fifth-level members of the Hawkeye Organization. With the death of Lars Graham, the high-end combat power of the Hawkeye Organization has been reduced by one-fifth... If something happens to Honey Badger, the Hawkeye Organization with only three people left will not be able to strangle the Moon Son at all.

There are six Level 5 Transcendents in the Iris official organization, five of whom are Moon Sons. Previously, Hawkeye could still form a balance of power with them, but after Iris made the extremely unreasonable "war reparations" to Avalon, Hawkeye's support among the people has dropped sharply.

Only two months have passed this year, and three bases have been removed. It is said that they were all betrayed by previous partners. Now Hawkeye is urgently reviewing all partners, so it has scaled back its actions.

And to support an organization, you need money.

In the case of very limited funds, they have to accept the difficult tasks from the cardinals of the Church.

Once the mission is successful, they can completely open up the Church market. At least they can establish a base in one of the layers... In case all the bases of Iris are removed, at least they can have an overseas base to reorganize their forces and continue to fight against the erosion of the Moon Sons on the human regime.

And...

The money given for this mission is really very, very much.

So much that as long as they get the money, the organization can continue to shrink for more than a year. This time is enough for Hawkeye to catch all the betrayers and update a round of safe houses.

——In other words, this mission must succeed.

Alice is just a "ticket", just like the "collaborators" they used in the past, she does not need to participate in the assassination, and does not know the plans and methods of the honey badger. The difference between her and those collaborators is probably that she must also take risks.

Although she dresses very maturely, she is actually just 23 years old and has just graduated from college for a year.

For a young girl from an aristocratic family, this dangerous and exciting agent mission with a lofty sense of mission, which can prove her ability and change the situation of the whole world, she is obviously irresistible.

But until this time...

Her face is as red as drunken, and the fingers holding the pen are shaking constantly. Although others will sympathize with her and laugh at her because she is a novice who takes the blame... But Alice is very smart. She knows that as long as the assassination mission of the honey badger is completed, she will almost immediately be suspected.

But no matter how she told herself not to be nervous, she could hardly control her inner anxiety.

——She also roughly guessed her own outcome.

If she could survive, it was probably because her employer was powerful enough. If nothing unexpected happened, she would probably die here, die today.

Just like the newspaper used her as a shield...

The Hawkeye Organization was also using her as a sacrifice.

Time passed by minute by minute, and nine o'clock was getting closer and closer.

When there were still ten minutes to nine o'clock, Alice suddenly saw...The Eternal Saint picked up the wine glass in front of her and took a sip.

——Almost immediately.

The Eternal Saint suddenly covered her eyes and let out a small cry.

"Gray!"

Agnis's anxious cry came.

At that moment, Alice's ears suddenly buzzed - a long and distant metal sound came.

Because of excessive tension, she had tinnitus.

She watched the cardinals stand up nervously and come over one after another. The crowd where the reporters were almost exploded instantly, and people were whispering and discussing something.

She watched everyone's faces become extremely exciting, but everything was like a pantomime, without any sound, and it looked so funny.

I saw Janice suddenly pull out the pure white cloth belt of the pure white saint.

Her left eye was still beautiful sky blue...

But her right eye was as gorgeous and dark as the stars in the universe. The amber of the eyeball spread to the eye socket, making her look like an exquisite sculpture with a corner broken.

——That is exactly the terminal illness for elves!

Alice's head buzzed.

There is no doubt that it is the effect of the special poison they got, "Tears of Time"!

Mrs. Honey Badger really succeeded!

Their plan... actually succeeded!

At this moment, the honey badger in the eighteenth ring was watching everything on the live crystal screen in disbelief.

She looked down at her black gloves soaked in a special liquid - this was the assassination prop she specially modified for this assassination.

——It's not even ready yet.

"... Could there be someone in the same industry?"

The honey badger looked at the screen with half confusion, half doubt, and ninety-nine percent astonishment: "Or did the boss find more than one company?"

That was indeed the "post-poisoning performance" described by the employer to him.

But he hadn't done anything yet?

Why did you fall down?

... In this case, should I still pay him?
