Hou Dasheng thought that the ceremonies of such a long history would be very formal and complicated. After all, the architecture here already looks very ceremonial. However, to his surprise, the ritual was surprisingly simple.

Five black-robed men, led by crows, made Hou Dasheng kneel down on one knee. Then he pressed his head and said, "The right to be able to get here is your own earnings." But to continue to get support from here, you also need to fight for it. Your efforts will be rewarded, and your name will always be remembered. ”

With that, the crow walked away. The tall and thin white man to his right walked up slowly, pressed the top of Hou Dasheng's head and continued, "We will give you wealth, wealth that you can't imagine. They can be driven by you and splurged by you. We will treat you as family, as a relative, as our children and nephews. What you need to do is treat us as we would be honest with you. It's family and we're one. Believe in this, and you will be able to go to the end with us. ”

"We will give you power, power you can't imagine. You can sit at the same table with the king and get a salute from His Highness. You will not have any marquis or duke titles, but you will exercise more power than they do. You will walk with us where the light does not shine. Become a king who doesn't need to be crowned. ”

This is what the man on the right said after he finished speaking, the man who was first in line on the left came up and pressed the top of Hou Dasheng's head. Their voices and intonations are strange, some like Hebrew and Latin. Some of the words are different, and the words are almost recited in arias.

Fortunately, Hou Dasheng can roughly understand what they are saying, but some words and sentences will be more vague.

"We will discipline you as our own sons. We have the responsibility of being a senior, and we have the obligation of being an elder. You can use and squander wealth and power. But you need to hold on to the beliefs that are rooted in our hearts. This is everything to you, and we are your family. When you make a mistake, we will punish you and make you turn back. When you make mistakes, we punish you so that you know the cost of making mistakes. ”

"Only you don't think of us as family anymore, you don't think of us as your elders anymore. You will be punished with the worst punishment by us, and you will be sent out of this world. And all yours, leave together. We're very reluctant to get to that point, and I'm sure you don't want to. ”

Hou Dasheng lowered his head and did not speak. Just let them carry out all these rituals. Come to think of it, this ritual is really simple and straightforward and rough enough. I'll give you the benefits, and I'll give you whatever you want. Things are also clear, if you don't work or do things blindly, Lao Tzu will get you. Be a traitor and kill your whole family.

Simple, direct, brutal, and clear. It looks more like a gang than a historic organization.

"We are one, and you will be remembered by us. Your deeds will not be recorded in any history books. But we will remember, and those who are qualified to be our juniors will remember. We've been around for a long time, and we're here to stay. ”

The man paused, then continued, "This is in our own name, and this is the family. Everything about you will be sealed, whether it is success or failure. Whether it's loyalty, or betrayal. We all want you to pass on all your things. Instead of being wiped out......"

Exhaling deeply, Hou Dasheng faintly thought of the magnificent European and even Roman families that had been annihilated in the dust of history. Many families, the rise of the disappeared for no reason. So much so that now, we can only read their clues from the history books.

At this time, he saw the crow take off his black robe and put it on the chair and sit down: "Okay, get up!" End of the ceremony. ”

Hearing this, Hou Dasheng couldn't help but pause. But seeing that the other people all smiled and took off their black robes, it seemed that the ceremony was really over. Hou Dasheng stood up at this time, and the crow raised his hand to signal Hou Dasheng to sit directly opposite the crow on the stone table.

Actually, this ceremony is more of a symbolic introduction. It is to let you know our existence and the meaning of the existence of each of our responsible persons. But seeing the crow looking at Hou Dasheng, he said with a smile: "Those who can go through all the tests and finally come here are all smart people." Those so-called rituals actually mean nothing to us. ”

The crow's words made Hou Dasheng only smile bitterly. Indeed, if you can pass so many tests, all of them who finally come to this point are people with strong minds. A ritual, even if it has been handed down for many years, is actually almost no longer worthy of the so-called honor or demagogy for them.

"Anyone who can come in knows what our organization is like. To put it simply, it's 'home'. The crow spread out his hand and lit the stone table, and his voice was very calm: "You can enjoy all the benefits that your home brings you as a matter of course, but you also need to bear the obligations you pay for your family." Of course, when you do something wrong, your family will educate you. But after all, it's family, unless you choose to betray, even if you have a different opinion with your family, we will protect you when outsiders bully you. ”

Hou Dasheng exhaled, which was a guarantee. Unless you choose to betray, you won't be cleaned up. This is very important for people who walk in a world where they cannot see the light. Where there are people, there will be fights, and where there are fights, there will naturally be climbers and losers.

This guarantee is what countless people dream of. Unless you betray, you will be treated with everything. Of course, it does not include the original status. You'll be excluded from the core, but at least they won't watch you being approached by someone else to take you out.

"Next, there's another part of the ceremony." The crow looked at Hou Dasheng and said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing special, it will let you know about the situation at home." Then arrange your location. By the way, some of the ...... you can learn about at the moment Secret. ”

After a pause, the man who finally pressed his hand on the top of Hou Dasheng's head slowly stood up and looked at Hou Dasheng and said softly: "So...... Are you ready? ”

"It's time to go!" Exhaled, Hou Dasheng leaned on the cold stone bench and exhaled and said with a smile. The man listened to Hou Dasheng's words, smiled slightly, and then said: "When was the house built, you don't have the authority to know this for the time being." ”

But I saw an entourage walking behind the man. The attendant held a thick parchment book in his hand.

"There have been many elders in the family, and their names may not be heard by you. But...... The names of the collaborators they develop, you can probably know some. As he spoke, the man smiled and uttered a series of names.

Hou Dasheng listened to the names that came out of his mouth, although his face was silent, the beads of sweat on his forehead had completely betrayed him. Some of the names he had guessed would have something to do with investors, and some of them he hadn't thought of at all. These people can be said to encompass almost the entire history of Rome and Europe.

Some even date back to the Greek, Athenian periods. Hou Dasheng will not have the slightest suspicion that investors are cheating in this regard. Because there is no need. They don't need these historical figures to add any luster to them, or that these people seem to them to be just clouds of the past and have no importance.

The list is very long, and it takes at least five minutes for the modern partner to begin. One by one, the names that thundered began to blast into Hou Dasheng's ears from the man's mouth. Listening to these names, Hou Dasheng couldn't help but feel a little thirsty in his throat.

At this time, a waiter carried a bottle of water and placed it in front of the five people. Hou Dasheng unscrewed a bottle of water and drank it. At this time, the man put an end to the cooperation list.

"For now, we're working with 1,341 people. There were 633 subjects observed. The man closed the notebook, looked at Hou Dasheng with a smile with both hands and said, "The core cooperation object is fifty-eight people. What we can guarantee is that these fifty-eight people, if they act together, will be enough to bring this world into a state of total war. ”

Hearing this, Hou Dasheng couldn't help but sweat and "brush ......" and came down. Little did he know that the list included several presidents of a major country who he believed were not funded by investors and did not appear to be partners with investors.

"Of course, we're not going to do that. Because if a full-scale war breaks out, it means that we ourselves will not be spared. The crow opened his mouth at this time, but saw him looking at Hou Dasheng and smiling: "On the contrary, we must try our best to avoid the possibility of a full-scale war. ”

After a pause, Raven continued, "But...... At the same time, we need to ensure the continuity of the war. If there is no war, then how can we make the partners earn enough profits?! Only the construction after the destruction is the most profitable business. Only war will bring the greatest wealth. ”

For this point of view of the crow, Hou Dasheng was not surprised at all. War is always the best business to make money. It comes in faster than anything else. Of course, this is to ensure that you don't get drawn into the war. In war, resources can become very valuable. But at the same time, the resources of the place where the war broke out can become very worthless.

War will make everything where it takes place worthless. But as soon as the war is over, everything it destroys and rebuilds will be very valuable. That's what investors do. They promote war, create war, and then get the most out of it for the best for those they work with.

Of course, it is also for their own best interests.

"Our position is very simple: to keep our families safe and to stop the outbreak of all-out war. At the same time, we strive for the maximum benefit of our core collaborators. Under this, it is to strive for the maximum benefit of other collaborators. ”

The crow stretched out his hand, looked at Hou Dasheng and said, "You...... Now qualified. But they are not fully qualified to know everything. The test will continue. Until the family fully agrees with you, then you are qualified to know more things. Now, I can tell you this: another war is about to begin. And your test is coming! ”
