"Phew, Bah...... Damn, there's sand in my ears...... Forget it, let's go back and take a shower. ”

Meaningless complaints, coming from the endless desert, if you follow the sound carefully, you will be horrified to see a head emerge from the sand, and then, in the squirming sand, the figure of a man gradually appears, and this man also has a unconscious man in one arm.

"It's a nuisance, thank me, or this would have been your grave...... I'm so thirsty, and I've lost my water bag...... Trouble!

The voices and figures that gradually faded away, the old man who was pulled in the sunset, and the footsteps of different shades were soon buried by the wind and sand.

………

This failed mission of "retrieving the forbidden object" put the entire Hero Association in a state of panic, although Xia Zhe will get Wilde and Reggie, but these two heroes who are squeezed by great pressure are also deeply in a coma, not knowing when they will wake up. The Hero Association, which has lost its backbone, doesn't know what to do next at the moment.

However, bad news came one after another.

I don't know when, reports of "calamity" hitting cities and towns have been heard all over the continent, and various calls for help and heavy losses have sounded throughout the continent.

At the same time, the headquarters of the Freemasonry, the city of Buiris, was also attacked by unknown enemies, although the loss was not large, but because of the rumors of people with good intentions, the emergence of a large number of disasters immediately linked to Xia Zhe's concept of protecting the blood successor, "The blood successor is the root of the world's evil" was once again remembered by the general public. In this way, the world once again turned its finger to the West.

The army was massing, the city was put on emergency alert, countless powerful organizations were beginning to shrink their strength, and the people were huddled in their homes and uneasy. It was as if overnight, disaster struck the whole world.

Because he was worried about the situation of Freemasonry, Xia Zhe also bid farewell to the Hero Association and returned to the West with Black Rose, as for Concubine Xiang, she also stayed in St. John's City under Xia Zhe's instructions, however, the woman with the name Eugudora was also a hero, so, under everyone's half-push, the pink woman took over her father's responsibilities and began to reorganize the scattered and restless Hero Association.

However, it is precisely because of the sudden turmoil in the world that the "Three Kings Conference", which was originally scheduled to be held this winter, was also decided to be held a month earlier, in order to discuss how to survive this inexplicable crisis.

………

"Xia Zhe, you're finally back. ”

Xia Zhe had just stepped down from the airship when Golia followed, and behind her, several women stared at the man who was thinking about it day and night, excited and didn't know what to do.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the thin film between Xia Zhe and the women seemed to suddenly disappear, and an impulse that was about to come out was almost irrepressible.

Therefore, the most direct Youxi rushed into Xia Zhe's arms regardless of it, and kept rubbing Xia Zhe's chest with his little head.

"Before you knew it, you had grown so tall, and you only came to me not long ago. Xia Zhe rubbed his silver hair dotingly, and pointed to his stomach.

"Everyone's okay, I heard that you were attacked, who did it, do you have a clue?"

Pulling Youxi towards the city, Xia Zhe asked worriedly.

"It's not a big problem, because Black Rose arrived in time, so all the enemies who came to attack have been annihilated. It was still Golia who answered Xia Zhe, but her eyes always scanned back and forth between Black Rose and Xia Zhe, as if she was aware of the relationship between the two.

"After this attack, Horus has rearranged his defensive strategy, believing that the next time the enemy will not be so easily damaged...... As for the identity of the enemy, both Master Locke and Kun agreed that the other party should be "Manzhu Warsaw", as the attacker's other target was Shura. ”

Hearing the name of "Manzhu Warsaw", Xia Zhe frowned, "The enemy is very smart, knowing that I am not in the Western Realm, so they dare to go straight here, but they didn't expect Ada's existence, so they suffered a big loss...... I'll have to go find Old Man Locke, there are some things I need to discuss with him. ”

Goliath nodded, "Okay, Master Locke is in the conference room, I'll take Black Rose to wash up first, and I'll meet later." ”

Leaving the reluctant women, Xia Zhe found Old Locke, and at this time, the vice president of the Freemasonry was discussing something with Kun and Horus. When they noticed that it was Xia Zhe who came in, they immediately greeted him on the throne.

"Xia Zhe, this mission with the Hero Association is really a failure in terms of results. In the first sentence, Old Rock made Xia Zhe a little depressed.

"Vice President, the President doesn't want things to turn out like this, and now we should discuss how we can contain the situation that is getting worse and worse. Horus looked at Xia Zhe's lost appearance and suggested to old Locke.

Kun also chimed in.

"Alas...... Or are we too naïve to imagine that the real enemy would have such a strong strength and heritage, and perhaps even the empire cannot be compared with "Manzhu Warsaw" in terms of soft power. Old Locke sighed, looking haggard, "It has finally changed the world's view of Freemasonry, but the rumors that have suddenly popped up have made our efforts meaningless, and now the three great powers are considering retracting the invitation to the Council of the Three Kings sent to us. ”

"The situation is once again turning against us, and this crisis is even more difficult than it was when Freemasonry was first founded. ”

"Does the foreign trade of the Thorn Flower Merchant Group have any impact?" Xia Zhe's first thought was money, after all, it would be bad if such a large organization had no money.

Old Locke shook his head, "For the time being, it will not have much impact, although some small countries have cut off trade with us, but at least most of the trade routes are still unblocked, but I don't know how long this situation can last, otherwise it is only a matter of time before the economic source is completely cut off." ”

For a moment, the conference room was filled with a dull atmosphere.

However, Xia Zhe quickly regained his strength, "We had already expected difficulties when Freemasonry was founded, didn't we? You must know that at that time, everyone was ready to be enemies of the whole world, and it is actually very good to be able to maintain such a stable external environment now." Therefore, there is nothing to worry about, as long as we can expose the root of the evil "Manzhu Warsaw" at the "Council of the Three Kings", I believe that Freemasonry will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty. ”

Listening to Xia Zhe's words, the three of them nodded involuntarily, they were indeed a little lost because of the smooth sailing some time ago, their road should be the most difficult in the world, so there is no need to worry about this little thing.

Seeing his companions regain their confidence again, Xia Zhe was also relieved, but the topic he said next made the conference room silent again.
