Chapter 317

"Welcome, giant." The little boy saluted the jaw head of the strong man possessed by the old dwarf and said in a childish voice, "all the twelve councillors have come, and the meeting can begin. Heller, please come and guard at the foot of the mountain with your disciples."

"As you wish, your Excellency the speaker."

A middle-aged man crossed his hands on his chest and bowed slightly to the shadow speaker, and then led several men and women dressed as hunters down the mountain along the temporarily opened road. Only 13 high-level members of the shadow Parliament are left on the top of the mountain.

The shadow speaker said, "today's meeting is related to our future. I have an important proposal that needs everyone's support. Before I announce the detailed plan, I will inform each other of their progress as usual."

"Giant, Saiwen, ugassi, spider king and mishgen, you five are the controllers of the masked brotherhood. Please introduce the five families and brotherhoods first."

The five members who were named stepped forward and exchanged eyes with each other. A bald old man with a distiller's grains nose smiled "gracefully" and said, "I'm congressman mishgen. Let me start first." Then he covered his rotten teeth and muttered, "this body is really bad... Well, it doesn't matter."

Senator mishgen spread out his hands and continued: "As we all know, my line is specially responsible for collecting information from the upper class society. During this period, I followed the instructions of the speaker and followed the changes between the kingdom of Borui and the Marquis of Wimbledon. Fifteen days ago, the Pope left red harbor with the marquis. The attempt of the Kingdom of Borui to attract the Marquis failed completely. The five families of Borui held a secret meeting to discuss countermeasures. ”

"One of my disciples has the talent to spy intelligence. I know the contents of the meetings of the five families like the back of my hand. Hehe..."

Senator mishgen covered his mouth and smiled, with cunning and charming eyes. When others saw an ugly bald old man wriggling there, they all had the urge to vomit. Without paying attention to the public's reaction, mishgen continued: "every plan discussed by the great nobles was ruthlessly refuted. In fact, they had nothing to do with the marquis. Finally, the handsome young master Raymond put forward the Countermeasures of directly attacking the Wimbledon chamber of Commerce and gave two reasons."

"First of all, while the Marquis tied the barbarians, she was also kidnapped by the barbarians. More than 300 barbarian soldiers were enough to cause anxiety and fear of major forces, including the kingdom of Gambis and the man horse hills. Before the barbarian soldiers left the human kingdom, the Marquis could only stay in the man horse hills and stare at them. This was the weakest moment of the Wimbledon chamber of Commerce , the kingdom of DoRdOr and the kingdom of sassanne would like to see the marquis in trouble. They would never mind the move of the kingdom of Borui to clean up the Wimbledon chamber of Commerce... What did master Raymond say? Oh, the stronger Sophia's strength, the harder it will be for the Wimbledon chamber of Commerce to survive! "

"Secondly, 60% of the profits of the chamber of Commerce come from free traders." After a pause, misgen shook his head and said, "I can't believe that cheap free traders are the foundation of the chamber of Commerce? Those nobles don't believe this statement. Master Raymond called the three managers of the effissos chamber of Commerce to the meeting. After carefully questioning the managers, the representatives of the five families recognized master Raymond's opinion."

"Your Excellency, a noble young master can have such insight because you secretly induced it. Right?" Senator mishgen squeezed his eyes at the giant hook.

It's disgusting

The corner of the old dwarf's mouth twitched and said coldly, "I'll explain later."

With a creepy smile, mishgen said: "Master Raymond said that it is easier to coerce free traders than to win over the marquis. The Wimbledon chamber of commerce is basically finished without the support of free traders. The Marquis doesn't want the chamber of Commerce to collapse, so she can only compromise with the kingdom of Borui. If the Marquis doesn't compromise and loses the Wimbledon chamber of Commerce, she can't transport the medicinal materials, and the southerly chamber of commerce can finally be closed Key herbs. "

"Master Raymond offered to use the formula of blood boiling potion in exchange for the support of Dodo Kingdom and Sasan Empire, and ordered the masked Brotherhood to coerce free traders. The five families agreed to his plan."

"Hey, why don't you understand? I've said it in detail." Senator mishgen rolled his eyes.

"Mishgen, you speak so well that I really doubt that you are the maid of some noble lady." The giant resisted the impulse to blow the old bald man to death and said in a muffled voice: "It's actually very simple. It's like the confluence of two fishing gangs. One group catches a valuable water lizard. The other group first buys the sheriff, then hires villains to chisel through the opponent's fishing boat, kill the opponent's claws and teeth, buy off the opponent's fishermen, intimidate the opponent's business partners, and finally force the opponent to hand over the water lizard."

One by one, the congressmen showed a suddenly enlightened expression. The giant spit on the ground and said mockingly, "we have done more such things, but we are not as big as the nobility. I gave him the idea of the young master of the nobility, and the five families thought it was a clever plan. It seems that nobility and hooligans are the difference between big villains and small villains." He also said, "Lord speaker, we have completed your entrustment. The noble young master ordered the masked Brotherhood to send people to the four big cities of Dodo kingdom to coerce local traders. But..."

"Is there anything difficult?" The speaker asked in a flat tone.

The giant said simply: "the task is too tight, and the strength of the brotherhood is insufficient. We need 200 blood guards!"

"I'm the shadow senator's nightmare." A young looking Hunter said, "the masked Brotherhood has more than 40000 members, 7000 or 8000 trained thugs and more than 800 elite mercenaries. Can't such strength deal with the thieves' unions in four cities?"

"I'm the shadow Senator spider king." A farmer like middle-aged man beside the giant said: "Nightmare, the war of the thieves' Union has its own rules. Although the five families bought the top leaders of the Dodo Kingdom and the sassanne Empire, the city sheriff is most deaf to our actions. They will never help us suppress the local gangs. If we go more, we will be suppressed by the public security. If we go less, we are not the opponent of the local gangs."

"The main reason is that the time is too tight. The noble young master asked the masked Brotherhood to subdue the underground forces in four big cities within a year. We don't have enough time to operate forces locally, so we can only choose to fight hard. But if we really want to fight, what's the use of trained thugs and elite mercenaries? We kill one other person, they can recruit two people among the refugees immediately, and we Here is one dead and one less. " The spider king bared his teeth and said with a smile, "the only way is to make the opponent yield with overwhelming strength. In addition to the blood guards, it is best to mobilize a group of shadow soldiers to specifically assassinate the leaders of the local thieves' Union, and then support a group of puppets to make them become the periphery of the masked brotherhood."

"It's impossible. Our blood guards are not enough, let alone shadow soldiers." Nightmare flatly refused.

The shadow speaker didn't seem to see mengyan's gloomy face. He smiled and said, "mengyan, doctor, stinger, Carl, Lindo, jailer and black rose, please inform the seven members of your achievements."

Nightmare nodded and said: "More than a year ago, we found the relic of the wizard tower in nidam swamp. The ancient stone tablets recording the recovery potion, discoloration dye and bloodthirsty potion were found on the periphery of the relic. We used bloodthirsty potion to create 371 blood guards and 64 shadow warriors. The doctor changed the formula of bloodthirsty Potion into blood boiling potion. Three stone tablets have been handed over to you 。”

The giant nodded to nightmare and said, "yes, we gave three stone slabs to the Peter family according to the instructions of the speaker."

"Yes." Nightmare continued: "we also locked the target that the speaker said - the crystal sealed with the secret medicine of the chosen one."

"There is a nine headed snake lizard's nest. I see the architectural relics at the bottom of the lake through the lizard man's dream. Those broken stone walls are covered with water, grass and moss. The secret medicine crystal is embedded on an altar. There is a drop of dark golden liquid in the crystal. Even in the lizard man's dream, I can feel the power and majesty, as if... As if it was the blood of the gods 。” Nightmare's face showed a complex expression of awe and longing. He was silent for a moment and said, "I also saw a special armor. No, it can't be described as special, it should be said to be magical!" Nightmare explained: "I have never seen such a beautiful armor. Its surface is engraved with special lines. The nodes of the lines are inlaid with four series element crystals. There is a fire element crystal on the forehead, a ground element crystal on the chest, a water element crystal on the abdomen, a ground element crystal on the shoulder armor and leg armor, four blue wind element crystals on the elbows and knees. The whole armor has been soaked in the water for thousands of years I can't see any rust and moss. It's like new. "

Senator mishgen suddenly asked, "is the armor purple gold?"

"It's not pure gold. It's impossible for pure gold armor not to rust for thousands of years." Nightmare shook his head and said, "the surface of the armor shows a dark cyan luster, and the grain connecting the element crystal is pure black."

"Speaker, do you know what the armor is?" Senator mishgen turned to speaker shadow for advice.

"What else can it be? The armor made by the chosen one for the knight. Don't forget that the knight used to be our servant." The giant said coldly.

"Knights are the servants of ancient gods, not our servants." Mishgen corrected, "don't forget, we are not powerful and cruel ancient gods, and knights can no longer be our servants. This is very important!"

"There is no need to argue. The knight's things are of no value to us, just like the recovery potion is worthless in our hands, but the Knights of the kingdom of Borui regard it as a treasure." Nightmare said carelessly: "in addition to the secret medicine and armor, there is a strange stone ball in the center of the ruins, about one person tall, earthy yellow, with a very smooth surface, no lines and no moss."

"Armor and stone balls are not important." Nightmare looked at the shadow speaker with burning eyes and asked, "Sir, that secret medicine can make ordinary people violent and greatly prolong our life?"

"Absolutely true." The little boy attached to the speaker nodded in agreement.

"But we can't get it!" Nightmare said sadly, "the Hydra lizard and the lizard tribe blocked our way. We lost 3 disciples, 177 blood guards and 21 shadow soldiers, but we still couldn't hurt the Hydra lizard... It was seriously injured, but it healed itself."

"What?!"

"Lost so many people?!"

The giant said angrily, "nightmare, you didn't tell us before you started! Do you want to swallow the secret medicine of the chosen one alone?"

Nightmare disdained and asked, "didn't everyone unanimously pass the issue of searching for secret medicine the last time we came to the discussion? Is there a problem with our action?"

The pupil of the giant shrinks to the size of the tip of a needle. Nightmare stares at him without flinching. The twelve members confront each other, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes cold and dignified.

"Nightmare, do you doubt my plan?"

As soon as the speaker of the shadow spoke, nightmare withdrew his provocative eyes, bowed his head and said: "Speaker, we have no objection to you. But you said that our future is in the East! We have devoted too much effort here. I don't understand why we should send blood guards and shadow warriors to dodo Kingdom and Sassanian Empire? These soldiers with extraordinary power only know the masked brotherhood, not the Shadow Council. Once they get out of our sight , it is very likely to fall completely to the nobility, and maybe expose our secrets. "

"The blood guards master the bloodthirsty power, and the shadow soldiers integrating the fighting spirit are more powerful. We have such strength. It's better to establish an underground kingdom belonging to the shadow parliament in the eastern alliance."

The shadow speaker smiled and said, "isn't the masked brotherhood our underground kingdom?" His voice suddenly turned cold and said: "or do you think the blood guards and shadow soldiers have the capital to challenge me? Have you forgotten how the blood guards and shadow soldiers came?"

The Shadow Council has a secretive style. Each member leads a group of wizard disciples. Members and members do not know each other's true identity and talent. Each meeting is convened by the speaker. Members attach themselves to ordinary people through the coming ceremony to meet and discuss. In fact, they follow the speaker's instructions, because the speaker knows the identity of each member No matter where they hide, the speaker's Owl messenger can find them, and the congressman knows nothing about the speaker's true identity. No one can resist the speaker's will alone.

The organizational structure of shadow parliament reduces the risk of exposure, and also makes the relationship between parliamentarians and disciples close, while there is indifference between parliamentarians and parliamentarians.

For thousands of years, the shadow parliament has enjoyed the supremacy of the position of the speaker, and members of the parliament have formed one vein. Since the establishment of the Borui kingdom by the five families, the shadow parliament has lurked in the eastern alliance and secretly controlled the masked brotherhood. The five pulse parliamentarians represented by giants roam the prosperous cities, supervise the big and small affairs of the brotherhood and collect newly awakened wizards, while the six pulse parliamentarians such as nightmare hide in the remote areas A refugee village that trains thugs and mercenaries for the brotherhood.

Five pulse congressmen such as giant are in power and enjoy a good material life. Mengyan and others always have some imbalance in their hearts. The emergence of blood guards and shadow soldiers finally triggered the contradiction between the two sides.

More than a year ago, the shadow speaker reused a rookie wizard named Lindu. With his help, the Shadow Council found the ruins of the wizard tower and discovered the formula of blood addictive potion.

Soldiers taking bloodthirsty potions can gain bloodthirsty talent as long as they don't fall into madness, and their strength and speed will be doubled. The Shadow Council calls them blood guards.

However, it is difficult for the blood guard to master the surge of power. Their combat power in the bloodthirsty stage is only equivalent to the trainee Knight taking the washing medicine. Before long, the shadow speaker sent someone to send a batch of black crystal balls and guide nightmare to perform a brand-new spell to introduce the power of the crystal ball into the blood guard's dream. After waking up, the blood guard will learn advanced skills in just a few months Their martial arts can give full play to their bloodthirsty power, and their progress speed is amazing. They are like geniuses, some become terrible assassins, some become clever hunters, and some become powerful soldiers.

These people are shadow warriors. Their combat effectiveness is enough to compete with the first-class knights.

However, the Shadow Council is always out of sight. Mengyan and others have been training orphans in the name of the brotherhood. Once these soldiers leave the training camp, they only obey the orders of the brotherhood. Therefore, mengyan is never willing to hand over the blood guards and shadow soldiers to the giants.

Discontent is discontent. If they really want to fight the shadow speaker, nightmare, they don't have the courage. The speaker doesn't even need to do it himself. As long as they disclose the news to the inquisition, they will die.

Facing the cross examination of the speaker of the shadow, six members such as nightmare looked frightened and repeatedly said "no".

"Ignorant fool!" The shadow speaker said coldly, "there is no bloodthirsty potion from the wizard? There are no blood guards and shadow warriors from the bloodthirsty potion? The number of wizards is rare. Aren't you afraid of the interruption of the inheritance of the parliament when you give up the Samson Empire and the Three Kingdoms?"

Mengyan and others were sweating and obediently said, "Sir, we are wrong."

"What is the purpose of Parliament?" asked the speaker

"Restore the glory of the chosen one!" The twelve members replied in unison.

"Restore the glory of the past... Everything we do is for this goal." The speaker nodded and asked, "what should we do to occupy a place in the upper class?"

The congressmen looked at each other in silence. The speaker sighed, "the ancient electors were so powerful that they didn't need to consider the opinions of the people at the bottom. Now, we have lost our capital. If we want to become superior again, we must win the support of the people like knights and churches. What did they do?"

Senator mishgen blinked and said tentatively, "protection? Redemption?"

"Protection and redemption? Hehe, why are the people willing to accept the protection of knights and the redemption of priests?" The speaker looked around and answered, "because the church and Knights have one thing in common. They both have extraordinary power and can give extraordinary power to ordinary people."

"Knights through marriage, churches through faith, and mortals are willing to support, support and obey them in order to gain strength. This is the basis for knights and churches to rule the people. The Lords of the kingdom of Borui don't care how powerful the masked brotherhood is. Are they arrogant or stupid? No, as long as the Lords wave, the members of the masked brotherhood will abandon us and kneel Worship at their feet. No one can resist the temptation of extraordinary power. The underground kingdom we built is just making wedding clothes for the Lord and the church. "

Nightmare murmured, "blood guard? Shadow Warrior?"

The speaker looked at him with appreciation and said, "if we can give mortals power, we are qualified to restore the glory of the chosen one. What loyal dead men, the wealth of the enemy, and the huge underground forces are meaningless in front of this power."

"The method of making blood guards is too vicious. Five out of ten people will fall into unsolvable madness. Mortals will not accept this method. However, we have a safer method, that is blood boiling potion."

"When soldiers take blood boiling potion, there will be harmless drugs in their bodies. This drug can be accumulated or inherited. After four generations, the drug power accumulated by soldiers will reach the peak. As long as they are washed with another secret medicine and guided by magic, these people will become fierce soldiers with bloodthirsty talent, and they will become our supporters and help us restore the glory of the chosen one. ”

"The secret medicine of the chosen one in the ruins?" Asked the giant.

"That's right." The speaker nodded and said: "After the Lord of radiance changed the rules of the world, the ancient god elect lost the power to guide the elemental sea. He had magic power, but he could only use his own talent. In order to fight against the endless clergy of the radiance church, the Council began to develop a secret medicine to give ordinary people extraordinary power. Unfortunately, the Council has not had time to form the bloodthirsty Legion and the war spirit legion, the Archmage of the wizard tower He died under the sword of the shining angel. "

"The shadow warrior was originally a soldier of the warspirit corps?" The spider king whispered.

"To be exact, it is a warrior with a guardian spirit." The speaker smiled and said, "before I get the secret medicine, the inheritance of the Shadow Council cannot be cut off. All my layout is to spread the blood boiling medicine. At the same time, with the cover of Borui Kingdom, I will expand the power of the masked brotherhood, establish an intelligence network and help the same people in all parts of the world. Of course, I also want to earn wealth and enhance my strength."

"Didn't the young master of the Peter family want us to attack the Wimbledon chamber of Commerce? Meet him and send out all the shadow soldiers."

"My Lord, what if the shadow warrior is exposed?" Nightmare asked carefully.

"It doesn't matter if it's exposed. Let the shadow soldiers try their best to end it. If they are accidentally caught alive, it must be the effect of blood boiling medicine. Is there any problem?"

The shadow councillor said in unison, "as you wish, distinguished speaker of the shadow, the great chosen mentor."

The shadow speaker nodded and ordered, "by the way, try to control the public carriages everywhere while the Lords don't respond. That's a great thing..."
