Chapter 177: The Night Demon's Calamity
Neo raised his hand and slapped himself hard, causing him to scream in pain: "No, I didn't dream, it's not a hallucination, why ......?"
Luo Ning shook the night rune stone in his hand: "You don't know. The Twelve Saints of the Demon Organization are not static. As long as someone can get the rune stone in the hands of the previous saint, they will automatically succeed to the position of saint. ”
"And what if it's taken by their enemies?"
Luo Ning shook his head and said, "That doesn't hinder it at all! The Night Demon Lord will personally go out to eliminate the rebellion, and then reassign the saint candidates!"
"How do you know everything, you stinky boy?"
Luo Ning pretended to be an old father educating his son: "It's okay to drink less, fight less, soak less horses and read more!"
"Stinky boy looking for a fight!" Neo laughed and threw a punch that Ronin dodged effortlessly.
He turned to the eight people who were kneeling on the ground, ordered them to get up, and then asked, "Why did you guys come here? After you learned about the last great hunt, the night demon assassins were not very popular with the Morrowind King's capital!"
The eight of them looked at each other, and a brown-haired female assassin with a single ponytail replied, "We don't want to risk infiltrating the royal capital! If the saints stand by and watch, then the eight of us will not have a few days to live!"
Luo Ning pondered the words of several assassins: "Internal disaster......? Could it be that someone is stoking a rebellion and wants to betray the Lord of the Night?!"
He looked left and right, knowing that this was not a suitable place for conversation, and wanted to take them to a nearby hotel to talk. Neo guessed his intentions, and stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait, why do you want to see me like this, you should take them to my house first! Since they themselves say that there will be danger in the future, it is safer to stay in my house." ”
Luo Ning smiled: "It's a shame that you are out of the picture! Take the Daredevil Assassin who made a big fuss in the royal capital to Marshal Gaiman's house, aren't you afraid that some guys will be bad for you?"
Neo said, "Just kidding, have you ever seen a mighty lion afraid of mosquitoes and flies? As long as I tell the old man your identity, he will probably not pursue it again." ”
It turned out exactly as Neo said. Marshal Gaiman was only stunned for a moment after Ronin took out the Night Rune Stone, and then returned to his room with a yawn. Before leaving, he instructed his servants to arrange for the eight Assassins to be washed and roomed.
Soon after, Ronin finally learned the general story from the brown-haired female assassin. One day half a year ago, the Night Lord, who had been away and never returned, suddenly returned to the headquarters with a serious injury. Seeing that she was seriously injured, the Thunder Saints colluded with the Storms Saints and the Earth Saints to overthrow and kill the Night Lord together.
As the leader of the Night Demon, the Night Demon Lord naturally won't give in easily. However, he was seriously injured, and he could not exert half of his original strength, so he had to leave the Daredevil headquarters under the cover of the remaining three saints, and his whereabouts have not been known since.
After the Night Demon left, the three seditious enemies came up with the idea of purging the remnants and controlling the entire Night Demon. As a result, the Yang Yan Saint was betrayed by his subordinates and died on the spot. The Flame Saint and the Death Star Saint left the Daredevil with a few henchmen. At its most glorious time, the powerful organization with the Night Demon Lord and the Twelve Saints in charge, now there are only three saints with their own hearts left, and it is quite bleak.
Luo Ning asked, "What about you, why don't you just surrender the three of them?"
Hearing this, the eight shook their heads in unison, and the brown-haired woman explained: "In order to gain strong strength as soon as possible, those three people did not hesitate to use the lives of the eight of us as bargaining chips to make a deal with the Seven Gorges Witch Doctor Tribe in the southwest of the kingdom! Originally, we had been knocked unconscious and stuffed into the carriage to the Witch Doctor Tribe, but who knew that a female elf suddenly appeared on the way. She killed the witch doctor who escorted us, and told us that you are the new Night Saint, and instructed us to come to the royal capital to join you!"
Luo Ning remembered the Red Moon Saint who gave him half a rune stone: "Elf woman, is it her?!" He walked back and forth in the room a few times, and after a long silence, he spoke, "You guys came to me...... Absolutely!But first, please offer your absolute loyalty!" As he spoke, Ronin took out the mysterious rune stone inlaid with the ancient Norton word "night" and chanted a curse-like secret word.
Suddenly, the eight Assassins covered their shoulders at the same time, their expressions slightly distorted by pain. The purple light seeped through their fingers, turning into a thick fog, and completely dissipated with a "bang".
"What is this, how can you kid be so crooked?" Neo was curious, and simply opened the front of an assassin, and saw a circle of strange words on his shoulder.
Luo Ning put away the rune stone: "This is the soul control spell recorded in the night rune stone. The other eleven runes should have similar spells, but the saints may not know about them. I don't want to be the second Sun Flame Saint, so I have to do something extraordinary. Now they have been cursed by me, and if they have the idea of betraying me, they will blow up their souls and die. This thing is so evil that even Flamel may not be able to solve it. ”
When the eight Assassins heard this, their faces were not angry but joyful. They had been in the night demon for a long time, so they naturally understood that Luo Ning's intention to eliminate the threat of the eight people was precisely to keep the eight people by his side.
"In a few moments, there will be eight more loyal high-ranking assassins as your subordinates!
Luo Ning scratched his hair a few times: "It's okay to have a headache! These eight are powerful, but they have to arrange a good place for them! The academy will definitely not succeed, and several deans will definitely not allow it; the royal family and the night demon have a grudge, and Princess Lena is not convenient." Hmm, that's right!Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce!" He remembered that the old president had given him a dragon head gold order. Please ask him with this golden order, and he will surely agree.
In the early morning of the next day, the headquarters of the Longshou Chamber of Commerce. The eight Assassins changed into the Chamber of Commerce's uniforms, put down their daggers and Hidden Blades, and picked up gloves and pen and paper.
A man dressed as a steward came to the reception hall and said to Luo Ning, who was sitting on the sofa drinking: "These eight have very good observation and intuition! I have already talked to the old president, and asked them to temporarily serve as appraisers of the Chamber of Commerce!"
Luo Ning thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Just do what you want! But don't worry, this arrangement is only an expedient measure after all! When the time is ripe, I will naturally come back and take them away! A real beast can't be kept in a cage all the time!"
The eight of them were originally at a loss for their new life, and they were all unhappy like frosted eggplants. It wasn't until he heard Luo Ning's last meaningful words that a smile appeared on his face.
