Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Obtaining the Ring of Power is only the first step in becoming a human being.
To really fit into this circle, it is after establishing a network with the people at the top of the pyramid. Jonathan once told Alex that both Freemasons and Illuminati are actually just club-like circles.
Those who are not qualified will not be able to squeeze in no matter what. Because this circle is very closed, it is not open to the outside world, and only people in the circle can recommend and introduce new members.
However, the place at the top of the pyramid is limited, and it is impossible for the living to give up their place to the newcomer. More people can only get close to this circle, become peripheral personnel and wait for a vacant seat inside before it is possible to insert into it.
Only with good timing and strong luck can you truly become a "master"!
Otherwise, it is very likely that like FBI Director Hoover, there will be no way to enter the circle for the rest of his life.
In order to allow Alex to establish his own network as soon as possible, Jonathan and Angelina decided to introduce him to people in this circle in their free time in those few days.
It was John who met first? Rockefeller, the American oil king.
In the eyes of others, John was dead, but in fact, he waited for a vacant spot at the age of 98 and was allowed to be transformed into a vampire. He is also a tester for Alex, and everyone who joins this circle needs to be tested to pass Guò.
John was still dressed as a gentleman of the last century, in a black suit and top hat. and holding a civilization stick.
The two met in a remote, dark farmstead, surrounded by Alex's grandparents and grandfather. He also followed two werewolf bodyguards, Justifa and Serther.
"With the two of us by your side, you don't really need any bodyguards!" Angelina said this in earnest. She wasn't joking, in the face of an army of ordinary people, no one could stop them if they wanted to. If it is a normal force, they also have their own ways to deal with it.
The legendary couple in the archaeological world is not in vain.
Jonathan and Angelina are two of them, experienced in a hundred battles. In the face of all kinds of dangerous situations, they can survive unharmed. More importantly, they do have a power that no one else has, and this power may not be revealed, but it is enough to deter the prying eyes of a malicious force.
Alex trusts them to protect themselves, but he's more used to keeping his safety in his own hands: "Okay, I'll let them wait outside next time." ”
They were whispering. John stroked his beard and said, "Why didn't I see you come with that Jennis?" Do you not trust my seed? ”
Janice! Unexpectedly, John mentioned her first!
"Sure enough, did you turn Jennith into a vampire because of me?" Alex frowned and said, "It's not that I don't trust her, it's that Jennis, she's a free man." Not my subordinates! ”
"Oh?" John rolled his eyes, "Would you rather have these brutal and uncontrollable werewolves as your subordinates than let a nobleman of the night be your subordinate?" ”
Alex shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Janis is not my subordinate, she is my friend!" As for what you said about the fact that werewolves can't be controlled, I can't approve of this! ”
For Alex, use the werewolf as a subordinate. Jonathan and Angelina knew each other for the first time. When they saw the Justifas couple, they already sensed that the werewolf blood in each other's bodies had been completely stirred up. Originally, they thought that these two people were sent by other forces, but they didn't expect that these two werewolves had been subdued by Alex.
They had told Alex about the fact that werewolves could not be controlled on full moon nights, and when they learned that the Justifas could be just like normal people even on full moon nights, they were all shocked to death.
Since the werewolf bloodline has been polluted by the Moon Demon, it will lose its mind on the night of the full moon, and it will not only be physically painful but also mentally distorted. Hundreds of years ago, werewolves usually killed people on the night of the full moon in Europe, and because of this, many forces rejected werewolves and organized people to hunt and kill werewolves.
After hundreds of years, the werewolf bloodline has become weaker and weaker, and only some remnants of the black bloodline are left. However, it has been a long time since a werewolf in its full form has appeared. They didn't understand how Alex managed to keep the werewolf from losing control.
Jonathan once asked this question, and Alex at the time deliberately changed the subject without answering it positively.
However, everyone has their own little secrets, and Alex is reluctant to tell them, so they don't continue to investigate.
"Friends?" John was pleased with Alex's unexpected answer: "Indeed! Werewolves, a lowly species, can only be called as servants at best, and since you regard my descendants as friends, you must not have any discrimination or prejudice against vampires! ”
Alex shrugged his shoulders and said, "I only discriminate against people of low character!" As for what race the other party is, it is impossible to determine the level of his character. ”
"Haha, well said! You can say that again! ”
John was so pleased that he gave Alex his special contact information. This means that he is willing to establish a normal relationship with Alex, and if he needs help with anything in the future, he can contact him through guò.
Alex held the bat wings John had given him, a pair of wings stripped from a living bat. It is said that when you want to find John, you can throw the wings into the fire and burn them.
It was normal for them to chat casually, exchange their views on the world and their predictions about the future of mankind, and so on. Those of them at the top of the pyramid will certainly not have any conflict in their own private affairs, only in terms of world views.
Such differences can be resolved through communication or negotiation. Generally speaking, it will not cause any major turmoil. If one party disagrees with the other's point of view, it is likely to lead to disputes and struggles. This kind of thing is generally not very strict. After all, the friction between them is likely to lead to some relatively large conflicts, and if they can be resolved as soon as possible, they must be resolved as soon as possible.
Surprisingly, many of John's views were close to those of the human race. Alex, in particular, senses that John is very interested in doing charity, which completely changes his view of vampires.
"Mr. Rockefeller, I think you're nice to the others, but why do they hate you so much?" Alex asked.
"Be nice to others when you climb up, because you'll bump into them when you're going downhill." John explained to Alex, "Get rid of the malice. I think the reason why we are insulted is because we are not very competent, and this ability may be related to being a person, or it may be related to doing things, in short, it does not constitute respect for others. ”
Hearing this, Alex couldn't help but be in awe, John? Rockefeller has always been a man to others. It is precisely because of this that he will be kind to everyone around him, and at the same time, he can face all kinds of malicious attacks with his own face.
After meeting John, the Jonathans took him to meet with several other official members of the Freemasonry. Among them, Alex was impressed by a few, one of whom looked like a Jewish banker and was said to have had some relationship with Jonathan.
The Jewish banker had a large nose and wore a pair of glasses.
Surprisingly. He was neither a vampire nor a trace of cultivation, and when Alex talked to Jonathan about it afterwards, Jonathan said, "He doesn't want to lose part of himself to become a vampire, and he doesn't have the natural talent to cultivate." Then I had to become a Heroic Spirit and enter Avalon after death! ”
"It is precisely because there are many such members that there are places that can be vacated. Otherwise, you'll have to wait hundreds of years to join Freemasonry! Angelina explained from the side.
"Like John? Rockefeller the same? ”
"Haha, exactly! Didn't he almost wait a hundred years to make it into our circle? ”
"I have a question, I don't know how to say it!" Alex said suddenly.
"What's the problem?"
"How old have you lived?"
Jonathan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Little guy! We ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Angelina: "Guess how old we are?" Don't you know that it's rude to ask a woman's age like this? ”
Alex shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "It's just curious!" If you don't tell me, I won't ask. ”
In addition to the big-nosed Jewish banker, there is a more special person. That's a Chinese, or a Taoist!
A Chinese Taoist priest with a white beard and a white head, but his face is almost the same as Angelina's, the same young and immature. According to Jonathan's introduction, this Taoist priest has no name, people call him "Lao Dao", and he is also Angelina's fellow brother.
"This is your grandson?" Lao Dao's voice was very sharp, and it sounded like the sound of gold and stone. He looked Alex up and down, and suddenly smiled, "It's not like what they describe at all!" ”
Alex looked at the Taoist priest in front of him strangely and asked, "Have you seen me?" What's not like what they've described? ”
Lao Dao shook his head and said, "I haven't been here in the Americas for a while, how can I see you!" I just heard my men talk about you! ”
"Your men?"
"Yes, you've probably heard of the Kowloon Club, right? I built it with my own hands! Lao Dao said proudly: "I received the news that you are a martial arts wizard, almost similar to a boxing spirit, what kind of tricks you can use as long as you have seen it!" ”
Alex's words surprised Alex, who had no idea that the founder of the Kowloon Society was a member of Freemasonry. Still, it's not surprising to think about it.
Alex has long known that the black hand behind the "Kowloon Society" is Chinese, plus this killer organization can take root in the United States, if there is no one to cover it, maybe it will be eradicated by bosses like Rockefeller and FBI long ago.
