The hotel where Qin Lun and the others stayed in Silvermoon City was the famous Golden Oak Tree.

The golden oak is located in the middle of an alley called the dance mask on the north bank of the River Rivon. There are comfortable rooms dressed as country houses, with vanilla-smelling fern bonsai on the windowsill, elegant and elegant oak furniture with hard wood and clear textures, and resin-painted tables, chairs, and stools that feel great.

The windows of all the rooms in the hotel faced the central courtyard. There was an ancient oak tree towering into the clouds. Its huge crown enveloped the entire courtyard under the shade of the tree. Every branch in the sky was hung with bright lanterns, which corresponded to the tea table under the lamp. Drinking a cup of morning tea or night wine here was an intoxicating enjoyment.

This place was loved by druids, rangers, Elves, and those who did not like to be disturbed, or who liked peace and quiet, because of the sprout goddess, Ceonia. Although the price of tea in the courtyard is relatively expensive, because the best service can be obtained, so the daily flow of guests is still endless.

The “golden oak” environment makes travelers feel as if they are sleeping in a safe and comfortable corner of the forest, and they have prepared some reception rooms to accommodate guests renting rooms upstairs. In addition, there is a nice leisure bar on the first basement of the hotel for travelers who want to chat.

However, the reason why Qin Lun and the others chose to stay in this hotel was naturally not because of its reputation, nor was it for the sake of enjoying a quiet life here, but for other purposes.

Even in Silvermoon City, very few people knew that the Golden Oak Tree was actually a secret stronghold of a guild organization. This organization was called the Hand of Light. Its name was very glorious, but it was actually a Thief Guild.

Unlike the Shadow Council, the Dark Night Guild, and other Thieves, the Thieves of the Hand of Light were quite different.

Most bandit organizations and factions like the Shadow Council were either chaotic, neutral, or chaotic and evil. In addition to stealing, scouting, intelligence, and other jobs, they were sometimes hired to assassinate, while the Bandit faction of the Hand of Light was rarely in a state of chaos and kindness.

Thieves were not rules-abiding professions, so there was no doubt that they were in the chaotic camp, but why was it chaotic and kind?

Because the Thieves of the Hand of Light did not accept any form of assassination work. Although they also stole, they were all targeting nobles and wealthy merchants. They never attacked the poor or the poor, and sometimes even helped the beggars and vagrants in the cities.

Even if the thief failed to steal and was unable to escape, then the Thief of the Hand of Light would not hurt anyone and would only raise his hand to surrender. For this reason, most of them will only be fined by the authorities.

If a city government really had to deal with them, the captured thieves would disappear from their cells one night. The skilled thieves of the union saw this kind of rescue of their companions as one of the most interesting challenges.

“Stand in the darkness and do the things of light. Our hands are the hands of light. We are just taking the gold coins from the vampires’ pockets and transferring them to where they should be.”

Look, there are so many ideal slogans!

The most glorious thing about the Thief of the Hand of Light was to become a legendary righteous thief who robbed the rich and helped the poor in the city.

Since these thieves’ stealing could not bring them income, then what did the Hand of Light rely on to make a living? This meant that they had another important job-selling intelligence!

The Santalin Society was known as the Dark Intelligence Network. Although the strength of the Hand of Light was not on the same level as the Santalin Society, they still called themselves the Light Intelligence Network. They were not afraid of being hostile to the Santalin Society at all. It could be said that they were very courageous.

Of course, unlike Santalin, who could buy intelligence at any cost, the Hand of Light was harsh on those who sold it. They didn’t want the information that the guild members had painstakingly obtained to be used for evil purposes.

Because of this, they lost a lot of money. This was also the main reason why the Hand of Light had always been slow to develop and could only be confined to some large cities, but was unable to establish a base throughout Ferren.

Because they had many enemies, the Hand of Light was similar to the Harpsichord Alliance in style. It was very secretive. Those who did not know them would find it difficult to find the intelligence base of the Hand of Light.

The reason why Qin Lun and the others knew about this weird and unusual Thief Guild was because of Lago. In the Land of Death, Qin Lun had saved Lago once. Although the Blood Stabbing Trio had parted ways with Qin Lun and the others after leaving the Giant Demon’s Claw, Lago still felt that he owed Qin Lun a debt of gratitude.

Thus, the Thieves handed the token of the Hand of Light to Qin Lun so that they could get some help in Silvermoon City. The token that Largo owned once belonged to a member of the Hand of Light. Largo helped him, so the thief gave the token to Largo.

The token is inscribed with the contact addresses of some large cities so that those who own it can receive the paid help of the Hand of Light.

Although Qin Lun and the others had information about the Harpsichord Alliance, based on their personalities, they wouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket.

The Harpsichord Alliance and Kieran shared the same position in the incident, but the organization had very clear political goals and intentions. In any case, it was obviously not a good choice to place all their hopes on them.

The Hand of Light was open late at night, for there was only one token, and Hill and Rand went out together. At this moment, there was still about a week left before the Silvermoon City celebration. If Santalin really had any conspiracy plans, they would probably have already begun to take action.

Hill and Rand wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to memorize Silvermoon City’s road network, so that it would be convenient for them to proceed later.

As the last ray of sunlight descended on the floor, Qin Lun tidied his collar and quietly left his room, arriving at the underground bar of the hotel.

“Give me a glass of ale.” Qin Lun bypassed the crowd and pushed a silver coin to the bartender who was wiping his glass.

The silver coin Qin Lun gave was somewhat unique. On the front was a radiant fist, and on the back was two daggers crossed together.

“Alright, please wait a moment!” The middle-aged bartender glanced at Qin Lun and quietly pressed down on the silver coin. When he raised his hand again, the silver coin had already disappeared from the bar.

The bartender poured Qin Lun a glass of ale. Then, he called a bartender and pointed at the bar counter. He walked towards the back door of the bar as if he wanted to rest.

Opening the back door of the bar, the bartender gave Qin Lun an obscure glance and signaled him to follow. Qin Lun faintly smiled, raised his head to drink all the ale, and followed the bartender out.

The back door of the bar was connected to the wine cellar, filled with oak barrels and rows of wooden wine shelves. The bartender circled around a dark place in the cellar and pushed open a secret door.

“How is Anke? Is he still at the Bird’s Gate?” After Qin Lun entered, the middle-aged bartender asked him softly.

The Anke the bartender spoke of was clearly the member of the Hand of Light who had given Lago the token. Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he shrugged his shoulders. He didn’t answer. He didn’t know how Anke was doing. Rather than arousing suspicion, it was better not to show it.

Seeing Qin Lun’s appearance, the bartender only sighed. He no longer asked about the thief and threw the silver coin back to Qin Lun.

“What news do you want to know?”

“I want to know if there is any unusual news about the grand celebration in Supreme palace in a week’s time.” Qin Lun asked.

“News of the Silvermoon Celebration?” The bartender’s eyes sharpened as he looked at Qin Lun vigilantly, “Why are you asking this?”

If it was another intelligence dealer, Qin Lun would definitely not answer the other party’s question. However, after understanding the situation of the organization, he knew that he had to answer this question. Otherwise, the bartender would not tell him anything.

Thinking of this, Qin Lun said straightforwardly, “I got a piece of information from the Harpsichord Alliance that Santalin would want to destroy the Silvermoon Celebration. The Lords of the Silvermoon Council might be in danger …”

“Santalin Society?” The bartender’s pupils shrank as he leaned on his chin and fell into deep thought.

Qin Lun wasn’t in a hurry either. He silently waited for the other party to digest the news, causing the dark room to instantly become silent.

After a while, the bartender finally said, “If your information is accurate, then we are very ashamed, because the Hand of Light has not detected anything unusual in the city during this period of time.”

Hearing the bartender’s words, Qin Lun frowned. Both the Harpsichord Alliance and the Santalin Society were clearly much stronger than the Hands of Light. However, Silvermoon City was the home ground of the Hands of Light, and they were local snakes. If those two organizations were to operate here, it was impossible for the Hand of Light not to detect anything unusual.

Thieves themselves were one of the nine sects, and their tentacles were scattered all over the corners of the city. Even if an outsider with an unfamiliar face entered their territory, it would still arouse the vigilance of the Hand of Light. The bartender actually said that the Hand of Light hadn’t detected anything unusual, which was obviously somewhat inconceivable.

“If you don’t conceal anything, that means there are only two possibilities!” Qin Lun stared at the bartender and said with a gloomy expression.

The bartender looked at Qin Lun’s ice-cold gaze and his face turned ashen. “I understand which two possibilities. If neither of us lied, what if the Santalin Society had abandoned their plan to destroy the celebration? If not, they had already set it up, and now they are only waiting for the Silvermoon Celebration to begin!”

“Perhaps there was an abnormal situation in Silvermoon City earlier, but nothing happened in the end, and it was ignored by all of you.” Qin Lun’s mind spun rapidly as he said in a deep voice, “Let me think, did anything unusual happen in Silvermoon City a month and a half ago?”

Santalin would be searching for the Death Soul Flower in the Land of Death. It happened to be the time when Elistine and the others were captured by the trolls. It had been almost a month and a half since they were captured by the trolls. The time when Santalin would search for the Dead Soul Flower should be the time when they planned the plot, that is, between one and a half months and two months.
