A dark hall beneath the castle of Pheromone.

In addition to the front wall where the scepter and banner were hung, the dark hall was flanked by long purple-black curtains dragged from the ceiling to the ground, and in the center of the hall were four long tables more than ten meters long, flanked by knights dressed in black knightly monastic robes.

These knights sat casually with relaxed expressions, and their demeanor was extraordinary, obviously not low-ranking knights, and some of them were also carrying weapons assembled with delicate sheaths, and the weapons emitted energy fluctuations in the air, and it seemed that most of these weapons were treasures.

At the knights' table were dozens of years of Polco red wine, and a plate of smoky Demon Beast Earth Dragon minced meat supplemented with wine.

In this dark hall, these knights drank and chatted like this, and occasionally there was a gap between the main entrance door in the far side of the dark hall was opened, and the light came from the other spaces in the basement outside the door, faintly illuminating the interior more brightly, and at this time, several knights with extraordinary temperament would come in from outside the door.

Knock knock knock......

At twelve o'clock in the morning, a long bell rang in the hall, and somehow there was a sound of a lock at the main entrance of the hall.

Click!

The sound of the lock was crisp, and the knights in the hall were silent, so that the crisp sound echoed in the hall.

Crash!

The curtains on both sides were opened, and a red-haired aristocratic young man wearing black jade armor and a luxurious black commander's cloak on his shoulders walked straight to the front of the hall, turning to face the fifty or sixty knights on the long table.

The young man is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but in the face of these extraordinary-looking knights in the audience, he has a sense of great momentum, and he is faintly the leader of these people.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The curtain opened, and with the appearance of the red-haired youth, the curtains on both sides of the original were now two rows of strange black-robed guards.

These black-robed guards had black cloth wrapped in their faces, and their eyes emitted a dazzling scarlet demon light, making people unable to see the expressions of these people, only feeling a sense of solemnity and fear.

The red-haired young man glanced at the knight below and asked casually, "Dark Ten, what news has been on the Snow Wolf Leader recently?" “

One of the knights below quickly replied: "According to the information of our informants who stayed in Jinglin Town, Lord Snow Wolf went to the Lost Basin of Eprus after returning from the Winter Mountains, and confirmed that he had taken away the left hand of the Earth Penetration, the gold mine in Ella Manor has been discovered, and it has been sealed off, and there are bronze knights and a large number of soldiers guarding it, but the Snow Wolf Lord seems to be afraid of leaking the news, so he did not send people to mine the gold mines...... Also, our informant brought back the corpse of Dark Nine. “

After hearing this, the red-haired young man pondered for a while, then motioned for the knight to sit down, and said, "...... Thank you, brothers, for being here tonight for Christmas Eve...... Let's drink together...... This year, we in the Brotherhood of Shadows have done two things, one is to raid the Honshu Chaka Viscount through Shadow Three, and so far, we are halfway there. However, although we have taken control of the mines in the Chaka Salt Lake area, the resistance forces of the Chaka Collar are still fighting, and among the brothers we sent, Dark Fourth and Dark Thirty-seven died; Another thing, about the Snow Wolf Territory, everyone already knows that we did not succeed, Dark Seven and Eight Dark Thirteen were abolished and captured, and Dark Nine was sacrificed in the dungeon of the Snow Wolf Territory. ”

“…… Without further ado, let's complete the Shadow Brotherhood' oath first......"

The red-haired youth waved his hand to the side, and a white-robed old man with three black crystal skulls walked out from the right side and handed them to the red-haired youth. Then, behind the old man, six black-robed guards with scarlet eyes, holding three corpses, followed closely behind him to the hall and placed them on the obsidian-paved floor.

The knights looked closely. The three corpses were similar in appearance to the strange black-robed guards around them, dressed in black robes and their faces wrapped in black cloth.

The red-haired young man held three black crystal skulls, his face was solemn, he gently placed the three black crystal skulls on the heads of the three black-robed corpses, then got up, and took out a black scepter and a black banner from the storage space.

Faintly, the scepter and banner were somewhat similar to the staff and banner hanging on the front of the wall.

“…… To complete Shadow Resurrection, it is necessary to have the Shadow Crystal Skeleton placed nearby receive the soul, and then the corpse that once was...... This time I would like to thank the great shaman's crow......"

The red-haired youth let go of the black banner and suspended it above the three corpses, then used the black scepter to point on the three black crystal skulls. “…… O true god of shadows, you are the only true god...... I pray to you...... Sacrifice the souls of our past sacrifices...... Bring the soul back to its body......"

The red-haired youth chanted a long incantation. As they chanted, both the scepter and the banner emitted a pitch-black glow, shining on the three crystal skulls and the three corpses. The three skull hairs responded with a deep black light, and something strange flew out of it. At this moment, there was a faint fluctuation in the space above, and a terrifying will appeared above the hall.

"Pheromones...... Remember your oath with me......"

A thought came from the terrifying will above the hall. Then, the three crystal skulls shattered and scattered, and the three corpses were surrounded by black cocoons made of black light.

After a long time, the black cocoon shattered. Three scarlet-eyed guards emerged from the black cocoon and fell to their knees in front of the red-haired youth, the Marquis of Pheromones.

“…… Dark four, dark nine, dark thirty-seven, henceforth you will be Shadow Twenty-Seven, Shadow Twenty-Eight, Shadow Twenty-Nine, ......"

Marquis Pheromone said slowly.

"Obey the instructions of the eldest brother!"

The three newborn eerie guards stood up and gave a somewhat hoarse response.

If Lin Xu was here and saw these three guards, he would definitely find that the strange guard in the middle was somewhat similar to the Fu'an of the Abila family.

“…… After the end of winter, we will first solve the rebellion of the tea card leader, and then raise the snow wolf leader ......"

……

Hoglard Castle.

Since Abfica introduced Lin Xu to the nobles of the imperial capital at the Christmas dinner, the aristocratic young men who wanted to meet Lin Xu or invited Lin Xu to various salons and banquets came one after another.

Lin Xu inquired about the identities of some invited nobles, and in the end, he still attended some salons.

Lin Xu also participated in Ian's Tulip Alliance, the elite circle of the Eastern Capital nobles organized by Wren, and some activities of the northerners, such as forming a team to camp in a fairy tale castle.

Although Lin Xu relied on his social experience in his previous life to integrate into these circles very harmoniously, perhaps because of Lin Xu's psychological experience, facing the activities of these teenagers, he enjoyed it at first, but after that, he felt that it was not so interesting.

Lin Xu spent a few days of such Christmas holidays, and finally one night in the room, he finally understood what he should do. Lin Xu needs some good friends, otherwise these long years will inevitably be too boring, but for social-style socialization, Lin Xu doesn't need so much, Lin Xu's strength and power are far from the real bottleneck, maybe in a few years, the imperial capital characters that Lin Xu came into contact with are at another age and level, and at that time he had his own vision and gameplay.

With this figured out, there was more than half of the social interaction in Linsup Castle, and in the following days, as the heat of the days leading up to Christmas subsided, more Hoglalds were discussing how to spend the upcoming New Year's Eve.

Lin Xu no longer went out, locked himself in the house, and asked Ggwini to deliver three or four meals a day, pretending that he had left the castle.

Lin Xu was thinking about going home.

In this world, Lin Xu has his own family in the Snow Wolf Territory, and he has his own various memories of the Snow Wolf Territory. On the night of a few days ago, whenever Lin Xu, who is dozens of years old, returned to the room alone, looking at the quiet mountains and rivers in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the master bedroom, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely, and some felt that he didn't get along with the world so well.

Of course, the minds of teenagers are more pure, but the simplicity mixed with aristocratic immature thinking is sometimes not so cute.

Lin Xu considered the possible impact of his instantaneous appearance in the Snow Wolf Territory thousands of miles away through the teleportation function of the Demon King's tombstone building.

Of course, there was an impact, but Lin Xu still wrote a few letters early for Gweni to take to the ghost ship in the ghost dock under the Demon King's tombstone. Through the letter collectors arranged by Linster, he passed his thoughts on to the forces of the Snow Wolf Territory and the Winter Mountains.

At such times, those loyal knights under Lin Xu are particularly important.
