Volume Three: Turbulent Beginnings (Remastered) Chapter 52: Venom in the fangs

In a pitch-black space, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, seven flames of different colors were in a circle, burning quietly.

This is a soul space opened up by Yu Bin using his soul power with the assistance of the ring. As the upper limit of his soul energy continued to grow, the function of the ring was also gradually opened to Yu Bin, and after countless experiments and explorations, Yu Bin determined that these so-called personal terminals were not the kind of existence that humans believed.

These rings are actually just an aggregate of energy, a high concentration of magical energy makes it form a ring-like shape, and the energy used by human beings, whether it is electrical energy or chemical energy, can not make this magical energy respond, so far, Yu Bin can only be sure that the soul is the only energy source that can trigger the resonance of this magical energy and activate this ring.

It is clear that the beings who created these rings have far surpassed human comprehension in terms of control and use of energy.

Different quality rings mean that the total amount of energy contained in the ring is different. The more energy you have, the more resonance it can evoke, and the more functionality it can provide to the user. It's like a smartphone that, when the battery is low, it automatically turns off the extra parts except for the basic call function, and when the battery is sufficient, the smartphone can provide users with satisfactory service.

Yu Bin's ring has already been upgraded to the highest grade diamond ring, and with the increase of his own soul energy limit, some functions hidden in the ring have also begun to slowly open up to him, which seems to be a kind of permission setting, and soul strength is the only criterion for judging the user's permission.

When the time reached a certain appointed moment, four of the seven flames burst into the flames, rapidly changing into flame figures of different colors against the dark background of the space.

"This is the twelfth rally, and I hope this time you don't waste too much time on things that don't matter!" The green flame humanoid, the third apostle of the Eater Serpent, Hoffman White sighed helplessly and said, since becoming a member of the Devouring Serpent and entering this mysterious space, the heir of the White family has been struggling with joy and pain.

He had to admit that the other three people who could be looked at by this mysterious organization were even better than he expected!

The First Apostle Intrigula, the last pure-blood descendant of the ancient British family of Halsin, is said to have been around since the Roman and Ottoman Empires were vying for supremacy in the Mediterranean, and had been operating in the shadows as vampire hunters for centuries. Even though the family is now in decline, and even a castle on the verge of bankruptcy remains, Hoffmann is still very surprised by its heritage.

The Hoffman family played a very important role in finding out the cause of his father's death in the plane crash so quickly, and it took less than half a month for Intergula to find the truth of the incident through those vampire lovers and the few remaining vampire hunters so far.

The Sixth Apostle, Bingyu, according to himself, was a mercenary from Huaxia, but Hoffman felt that this was probably just the most inconspicuous of this guy's countless identities. He knew that there were many secret forces in this world, and even the eldest lady of the Helsings family was very shocked by this, and it was under his reminder that Intergula set the direction of his pursuit on the ancient family hiding behind the whole of Europe.

Not only that, but the death of Trau White has cast a veil of mystery over this guy, and Hoffman can't figure out how this guy unknowingly discredited Trau White, who had been trying to replace him and become the master of the White family, in that dishonorable way.

The Seventh Apostle, Philinton Hemmer, was a mad scientist who was even more troubled by Hoffmann, a Norwegian who was not only proficient in genetics, biology, chemistry and medicine, but also had in-depth research in pharmacology and criminal psychology, and what was worse was that he did not see the noble qualities of a scientist at all. Philinton Heimer was able to concoct a poison that could genetically destroy the body's immune system, and did not hesitate to inject it into Heinz Phil's body. Even in order to obtain the data of the live experiment of this poison, even the three minor children of the patriarch of the Phil family did not let go.

A mad scientist with no humanity! That's what Hoffman thinks of Fillington Heimer.

Of course, as the third apostle, he is no better, Hoffman, who completely controls the family business, does not hesitate to carry out a secret purge of the family, relying on the Italian mafia that he bought and the GSG retired special forces recruited through Zolene Britz, and any family members who are unwilling to surrender to him are either missing or are found to have drunk too much at a banquet and died of alcohol poisoning.

In this respect, every member of the Snake is not a good person.

"I don't care! The lab is still being built, and the equipment and personnel are not in place, so I don't have much to do right now except for a few small things! The Sixth Apostle, Philinton Hammer, pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, "But I'm only interested in scientific research, and as for the things you're arguing about, as long as they don't affect me, that's fine!" ”

"Professor, it's about how much research funding you'll get in the future, or at least how much you care?" The blue flame humanoid is naturally Yu Bin, who is the sixth apostle, he did not use the function of the ring to pretend to be a ghost, trying to guide these ghost guys to the route he set, which is undoubtedly insulting the IQ of these people. Yu Bin knows that there are many things that are wrong, as long as they still have such a thing as desire, Yu Bin believes that these guys will eventually spontaneously move towards that goal.

As the meetings progressed, several people no longer used their names to each other, but gave each one a code name, and Intergula was nicknamed the Count, which was meant to come from the title of Vampire Countess, which could be said to have a bit of a sense of ridicule for a vampire hunter, but the eldest lady seemed to be happy with it.

"White Face" is the code name of Hoffman White, which is derived from an old European legend, which Fillington Heimer used to describe Hoffman, who had always practiced his smile and greeted people, thinking that he was like wearing a white mask, using different brushes to paint the most appropriate expression on the mask on different occasions.

Philinton Helmer is known as a professor, while Yu Bin uses Death Knight as a synonym for himself.

"Ah, you remind me of that! Death Knight! It seems that for the sake of my future research funding, I can only stand on the side of the white face! ”

"Professor, please stop joking!" Hoffman said coldly, "Count, what do you say? ”

"Regarding the organizational structure of the Snake of Body, my opinion has not changed at all. The Death Knight's proposal is the most suitable option! ”

The flaming figure representing Hoffman waved his arms in a gesture of rage: "It's foolish to let three guys who don't know the details join us and compare them to us!" You're digging your own grave! ”

"The most important purpose at the moment is to increase the strength of the organization as soon as possible, and in this regard, I think you are more anxious than me!" Yu Bin looked at Hoffman for a long time, in order to take revenge, the White family had touched the sensitive nerves of the ancient family, Yu Bin believed that Hoffman was more anxious than himself to expand the power of the Devouring Snake, only in this way, he could survive the counterattack of the Rothschilds.

"You! Death Knight, are you laughing at me? ”

"Enough! White face, since you don't agree, then decide in the most democratic way? ”

The so-called most democratic way is to vote by show of hands, but Hoffman did not feel that the result of the vote would be in his favor at all! Professor, that guy doesn't look at what he said sounds like a wallgrass, but in fact, he has already made his own choice!

"Hmph, no need! Just follow the Death Knight's proposal! ”

The red flame humanoid nodded with satisfaction: "Then, from today onwards, the organizational structure of the Devouring Serpent will start to operate according to this rule, and the highest decision-maker is the seven-member Apostle Regiment, and any proposal made by anyone must be approved by more than four people before entering the next step, otherwise it will be rejected." The same proposal will be sealed for six months after three consecutive rejections. ”

"The seven-member apostolic group will select 17 people to form a team of executors, who will be responsible for actually advancing the corresponding proposal, and the initiator of the proposal will automatically become the person in charge of the promotion plan! Another 22 persons are selected as executor alternates, who are responsible for assisting the executor in completing the task and automatically replacing the executor in the event of the executor's death or inability to continue performing his duties for other reasons. ”

"Set up an additional executor as an overseer to oversee the progress of each proposal and ensure that the organization is not harmed as the plan moves forward! Set up three additional executor candidates as supervisor candidates to assist the supervisor in reviewing the progress of the project and automatically substitute as an overseer if necessary! ”

"The entire organization of the Devouring Serpent is composed of a total of fifty apostles, executors, and executor candidates!"

The professor stretched, "It's finally settled." Really, I don't have to worry about what the ones we've picked out to join the Eater of Bodies will do to our plans, and don't forget, the four of us are in the majority, and we can easily scrap any proposal that damages that plan! I'm afraid the Death Knight also proposed this plan to ensure this, right? ”

"I just think that letting those wronged leaders shed their last drop of blood for the organization, and then throwing them away like rags, is only good for us, no harm!"

"You're a bad guy!"

Hoffman looked at the blue flame figure, in this space, it was completely impossible to see the other party's mind from his expression, the flame figure did not have any facial features at all, and his whole body was composed of flames, so he didn't know what kind of smug look that guy looked like at this time.

"Now that the structure of the organization has been decided, I think it is necessary to decide on the candidates for the remaining three apostles as soon as possible, and only after the seven-member apostolic group is fully established, can we continue to move forward with the selection of executors and executor candidates!" Since he was powerless to stop it, Hoffman had to do his best to get enough say in this seven-person team.

"Looks like you've got the right person, Whiteface?"

"Listen up!"

"I'm also curious about who has this ability to make you think you can look up to it!"

None of the people present believed that Hoffman would be stupid enough to make a waste a member of the Apostolic Order, that would only make his evaluation plummeting in the minds of others, only a fool would use this method to gain his own benefit, and likewise only a fool would work with such a guy!

"Arides Kothos! A descendant of the Duke of Normandy in France and heir to the House of White Roses! ”

Sure enough, just as Yu Bin expected, Hoffman chose this ambitious guy as his ally!

The Rothschilds do have extremely large power in this world, but this does not mean that they have no enemies, just like the Junker aristocracy led by the White family, some big families who are proud of their own blood also look down on Rothschild, a financial family that started by usury and transnational currency exchange, especially the French!

If the Spanish aristocracy was proud to have served as Holy Roman Emperor many times, then the French, especially the Normans, were proud to have ruled most of Europe, and in the middle of the Roman Empire, the French aristocracy, led by the Duke of Normandy, extended their ruling area to what is now Eastern Europe, when the whole of England, half of Spain, and the whole of Germany and Poland were their hunting grounds!

As the last bloodline of the Duke of Normandy, the Cossos family took the white rose as the family symbol, and still uses the noble coat of arms of the Duke of Normandy. If you want to find an existence in Europe that dares to confront the Rothschilds head-on, then the Koxos family is the best choice. Hoffman, who is worried about the Rothschilds' counterattack, will undoubtedly want to pull the Koxos family into the water in this way, using the power of this family to fight against the financial war that may befall him, and at the same time, he also hopes to increase his voice in the Devouring Serpent through Arides Kosos, the heir of the White Rose family.

Yu Bin was noncommittal about this, Yu Bin, who had memories of his previous life, clearly knew the outcome of this family in a few years, so he didn't care about Hoffman's small actions.
