The old man saw my feelings for Elena and used some of his connections to arrange me to Elina's side, and it was then that I realized that the old man was one of the elders of the Mithril Society.

The old man said that this was not a big deal, as Burning Valley was one of the important sects when the Mithril Order was founded, and he had the key to an obelisk that allowed him to obtain a fixed seat in the Council of Elders.

If I have done enough to earn a place in the Presbyterian Church, that's my ability!

Even if I don't achieve anything, when the old man retires, as long as I break through to become a grandmaster, I can be the heir of the Burning Flame Valley lineage and inherit the old man's position as an elder.

And Elena's master, Ovilla, is also one of the elders, and like the old man, he also holds the key to an obelisk, but Ovilla has many disciples, and Yelena may not inherit her mantle.

I lived in the Imperial Capital from the age of eighteen after leaving the Academy in the Misty Mountains until I was twenty-three, and I was an employee of a shop owned by a shopkeeper who was also a member of the Mithril Society.

Thanks to the old man's care, Elena also stayed with me as a tavern, and her tavern was just across the street from my shop.

And for the sake of disguise, Elena and I are another pair of killers, following the orders of the organization to eliminate targets.

They either clashed with the outlying gangs of the organization, or got in the way of the organization's finances, or did things that got in the way, or learned secrets that they shouldn't know, in short, they are the people who need to disappear from the organization.

We've accomplished a lot of missions in five years, and the more missions we've completed, the more I feel that the Mithril Society seems to have forgotten its original purpose and positioned itself as the master of the Empire's underground forces, obsessed with amassing wealth and expanding power, but never daring to challenge the royal family and the Legion again.

Moreover, there are multiple interest groups in the meeting, competing for power and profit, and sometimes even fighting each other.

Fortunately, the old man and Elena's master Ovilla are in the same camp, so I can become partners with Yelena, and we have also been plotted by people from other forces in the mission, and we are lucky to save the day, which shows that the struggle within the association is fierce.

However, Elena is one of the "Seven Holy Maidens", but her marriage cannot be decided by herself, even Orvilia cannot speak, and her husband must go through the Council of Presbyterians all the way through.

Although the two of us admired each other, we could not be together, and even in order to prevent us from making mistakes, Twenty-Three and one of Yelena's senior sisters were arranged to watch over us.

The old man has been fighting for me to marry Elena, and I have worked very hard to complete the task, and I have been in danger many times to die for life, hoping to increase my chips with my results.

However, the matter remained unresolved until one day when I eavesdropped on the old man's conversation with others, and realized that it was the Great Elder who was obstructing him, because his grandson had also taken a fancy to Yelena and wanted to marry her.

At this time, in the Mithril Society, the Great Elder's faction was the strongest, so much so that because the Great Elder did not want to hand over power, he did not elect an acting president for several decades. If it weren't for the persistence of the old man and Ovilla, Elena would have been forced to marry Comey, the grandson of the Great Elder, probably a few years ago.

From the old man's conversation, I learned that as he got closer to a certain son, the Great Elder could take advantage of this opportunity to threaten some neutrals, and soon be able to force the Council of Elders to make a decision to marry Yelena to Comey.

At this time, there were only two paths left in front of Yelena and I:

One is that I become a grandmaster to increase my chances of competing for Elena.

The other is that the two of us eloped, escaped from the control of the organization, and lived incognito with our own sons.

Although I was already close to the peak of the Sculptor at that time, I still had a way to go before I broke through to the Grandmaster, and there was no way to break through immediately.

Since the Mithril Society controls the underground forces of the entire empire, it is very difficult to escape, and we have carried out the mission of hunting down traitors, and we know how difficult it is to break away from the Mithril Society, even if we escape to the New World, where the Mithril Society's power is relatively weak, it is difficult to avoid the eyes of the organization for a long time.

Just when I was at a loss, Twenty-Three thought of another way.

As mentioned earlier, the first president left a trial, and as long as he passed, he could become the president of the Mithril Society, and he would have absolute power in the meeting.

And this trial is not limited to candidates for the Son of God, the trial is open every twenty-five years, and seven people can enter each time, and these seven people must be under twenty-five years old, and the grandmaster cannot enter.

It is not possible to raise candidates for the seven sons of the gods every time it is opened, and it will be difficult to find all seven "holy women" in the first place, and even if the holy women give birth, it is not guaranteed that the first child will be a boy, and it is even more difficult to ensure that the boy will reach the sculptor when the trial is open.

And judging from the difficulty of the trial, it is difficult to come out alive if you don't reach the peak of the plasticizer, let alone pass the trial.

This is also the main reason why the secret society has not been able to produce a son of God to officially succeed the president for hundreds of years.

In the past, there were also candidates for the Son of God who participated in the trial, but failed to pass the whole process, and failed to quit in the middle of the trial, and the presbyterian council at that time thought that as long as he could come out alive, it would be considered a victory, and elected him to become the president. Unfortunately, the prophecy was not fulfilled, and the "sons of God" who failed the trial were mediocre.

Mithril would have hated this twenty-five-year trial.

As long as you can enter the place of trial and come out alive, even if you fail the trial, you will get a lot of benefits. The hatred is that it is even more difficult to get out alive, and often seven people enter and the whole army is annihilated.

So the advice given to me by Twenty-Three is to go to the trial and try to come out alive.

I don't know where he inquired about it, but Comey didn't dare to participate in the trial on behalf of the Great Elder, but instead sent his junior brother forward.

If I can take part in the trial and walk away, I'll be able to take Comey down.

And there is another calculation here, the Great Elder is using the quota to participate in the trial at this time to blackmail the neutral faction to support Comey to marry Elena, if I occupy one of the places, it will be to take a card from the Great Elder's hand and eliminate one of his supporters.

The reason why the quota needs to be apportioned is because the mortality rate of the trial is too high, and the inheritors of some sects or families, Ding Buwang, do not have many disciples of the right age, and they really don't want to be sent to the trial ground for sacrifice in vain.

Therefore, when there are not enough candidates for the Son of God, the chakras are apportioned.

Twenty-five years ago, when the last trial was opened, Burning Flame Valley had already sent disciples to participate, so there was no need to send people to this opening, as long as I went to participate, I could let other factions save a place.

And my strength is not weak, and there is a good hope that I will come out alive.

After so many years, the situation in the trial has been touched by the meeting.

The whole trial is divided into three levels, after passing one level, if you don't dare to enter the next level, you can give up and quit, and only by passing the three levels in one breath can you be considered to have completely passed the trial.

Each level you pass will give you a corresponding benefit. After passing the first level, the control ability of the source energy will be enhanced, and there will be no obstacle to becoming a grandmaster. If you can pass the second level, your body will be strengthened, and your strength, speed and endurance will be much higher than that of people of the same level.

As for the benefits of passing the third level, no one knows, but there is a legend that the first president was able to kill the Emperor Western Sahara, who was blown invincible by the empire, and must have obtained great benefits by passing the third level, so he dared to predict that those who passed the trial could lead the Mithril Society to overthrow the royal family.

For me, as long as I can pass the first level, admit defeat, and come out alive, even if I win, anyway, I am not a candidate for the son of God, and I have no ambition to become the president, so I don't have to try the next two levels.

I took Twenty-Three's suggestion and told the old man.

The old man was against it at first, but after a few days, probably fearing that I'd really elope with Yelena, he finally agreed and allowed me to participate in the trial.

What I didn't expect, however, was that when I told Elena the news, she told me that she had also decided to go to the trial.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, how could I let her go on the adventure!
