"Syndicate people?"

Mu Yan was a little surprised.

Teacher Zha nodded, waved his hand to open a portal, Mu Yan suddenly understood, raised his foot and stepped in.

When the two reappeared, they were already in a Seraf's moon room, and the surrounding area changed into a beach on the southeast coast of Turing with Mu Yan's mind.

Overhead, the sun was scorching, and the salty sea breeze blew, like a girl's warm hands.

The two of them had a recliner and a sun umbrella at hand, and Mu Yan handed him a pair of sunglasses.

Teacher Zha suddenly cried and laughed, where had he ever seen this thing.

"I'm going to talk about something serious, you ......"

"I know. That's why I switched to this scene. Mu Yan said: "I also know that the teacher has some connections with the syndicate, and they are quite close...... After all, one is a notorious killer organization, and the other is an incognito necromancer. ”

Teacher Zha rolled his eyes: "Sometimes I wonder if you are a roundworm in my stomach, how do you know that little bit of clearly." ”

"I don't know as well as roundworms." Mu Yan said with a smile.

Thanks to an Assassin friend, Mu Yan had the privilege of learning more about the Syndicate, especially about it, the Thieves' Guild, and the Shadow Footsteps.

Everything also starts with Jialan's independence.

There was no Shadow Footsteps name, and Morningstar didn't have an official Assassin Cult Organization, and the agency called Nightsong of Thorns was more of an archive and intelligence room.

Over time, Night Song of Thorns slowly gathered the orphans who lost their parents in the war, and trained them to become secret dead soldiers and agents, the elite of whom happened to be the first operators of Shadow Footsteps.

Because of the large number of special magical equipment used in the transmission of information, when Jialan became independent, these top talents followed the mages out of the chaotic Morning Star, and then established the shadow footsteps. At this time, most of the remaining managers in the Night Song of Thorns were managers in charge of logistics and intelligence, as well as immature middle- and lower-level spy agents.

This is divided into two factions, such as the previous division, the former is the manager, the latter is the doer, the two sides think about the problem from different angles and starting points, and gradually there are differences.

The management felt that the reason for the betrayal was that there was a problem with the ideological education of the training of agents, so they decided to pay close attention to "loyalty education" and no longer have humanitarian feelings.

And the doers were secretly sad because they were abandoned by the "seniors" (they were picked to be left), and the management tried to alert and persuade them at this time, this group of immature young people suddenly rebelled, and simply followed the behavior of the predecessors on a dark and windy night, and also broke away from them and formed a syndicate.

In the spirit of "don't bully the poor youth", they tried to slap the faces of that group of people in the future, their hearts were very big, and while looking down on the Night Song of Thorns, they threatened to surpass the shadows.

As a result, the rest of the management was completely dumbfounded, and they had to turn their attention to the underground forces around the royal city, and co-opted the thieves and hooligans who roamed in the gray area, which was also the prototype of the original thieves' union.

So far, the good Thorn Night Song has been successfully divided into three families, namely the cold eldest brother - Shadow Footsteps, the young and vigorous second brother - Syndicate, and finally the younger brother who has always been in charge of logistics - the Thieves Guild.

It stands to reason that the development of the three brothers should be as high as the overall strength shown in this matter, but the subsequent development of the matter exceeded everyone's expectations.

First of all, Jialan suffered heavy casualties when she evacuated the Black Thorn Forest, because the elves betrayed their promises, and in addition to the twelve mages who blew themselves up, a large number of top masters were also killed in that battle, and their vitality was so damaged that they did not recover until today in 777 Faith Calendar.

And the syndicate is even more interesting, they are a group of inexperienced young people, who quickly spent all the funds they brought out after defecting, and in order to make a living, they had to make assassination and theft their main job - the previous Thorny Night Song was a state-owned enterprise, and everyone was a civil servant who did not have to worry about food and clothing, and now it was so difficult to come out and break through on their own, which many people did not expect...... Later, the syndicate went farther and farther down this road, and gradually turned the evil path into its main business, and it became a killer organization walking in the shadows.

In contrast, the little brother who stayed in Morning Star turned out to be the most comfortable person in life.

After they co-opted the underground forces in the royal city, they established a thief guild following the mercenary association, accepting commissions such as stalking, stealing, vendetta and betrayal between underground organizations, upholding a transcendent position of absolute neutrality, and controlling the flow of hatred between buyers and sellers.

Over time, the thieves' guild grew stronger, like ubiquitous weeds, rooted in the corners of the plains of the herding horses, like ubiquitous eyes, watching the wind and grass of Lokan for the night song of thorns and for the morning star.

The other two brothers also developed differently, with the eldest brother continuing to uphold his grace, slowly recovering in Jialan and cultivating Assassins in the oldest way. The Syndicate went down a completely evil path, trading his head and gold coins to the extreme, and was ostracized by the entire Terran, becoming a real street rat.

Then, the Syndicate hooked up with the Necromancer.

As Mr. Zha said, the collusion between the two is an inevitability - because everyone shouts and fights, because they are both burdened with a sea of blood and hatred.

The only difference is that the syndicates know who the people who hate them are, and the hatred is caused by their own hands, while the necromancer doesn't.

"Before I use a corpse, I won't find out what his surname is, how many acres of land in his family is, how many people he has, whether he is married, and whether he has children." Teacher Zha said lightly: "Although I did do that at first, after all, I felt a disturbed conscience. I'm even looking forward to finding Lily in the future and doing something to atone for my sins when I return to my normal life. But gradually, even I felt that this practice was ridiculous, a person who did not enter the River Styx with the belief of death, who could never find the person he missed, if he still cared about the sins he carried, was really taking care of one thing and losing the other. ”

His words were blown away by the sea breeze, and the damp heat became slightly colder.

"The first people in the syndicate came to me when I left Turing. I was betrayed by my own apprentices and hunted down by the tower's mages - especially my teacher, Chris Coldwind, who was personally leading the men behind, and the Turing Knights. There were a couple of little ones in there who said I had defiled the bones of their ancestors, well, that couldn't be more appropriate.

"In the ensuing encounter, my minions were crushed and themselves pierced through the abdomen with a spear smeared with holy water, when the rats of the syndicate came out of the ground, divided the battlefield with smoke, dropped a few corpses, and forcibly took me. They then treated me and sent me out of Turing and through the misty forest to the deserted Kansa region.

"I didn't trust anyone at the time, so I didn't think it was an act of 'generosity,' so I asked them what they were doing it for, and guess what they said?"

"How?"

Teacher Zha smiled: "Their leader is like a devout believer, and in a missionary tone, he says, 'The will of the dead is about to come, and all things will wither, and then we will walk on the earth with light and taste the sweet souls of the living.'" ”

Teacher Zha said this casually, and Mu Yan was dumbfounded.

Because this TM is the line of the mad lich Zayx......

It's just that in this changing world line, he speaks in a sober state and playful taste, not in despair and hysteria.

Of course, Mr. Zha didn't know that his apprentice had such a lot of inner drama.

As you might have guessed, this phrase comes from Leorik, the Emperor of the Dead who lurks in the middle of nowhere and is looking for necromancers. Later, I hid in the White Rock Mine, and I often heard him whisper during meditation......"

Teacher Zha didn't seem to want to mention this matter more, so he quickly brought it over.

"Since then, I have been in constant contact with the Syndicate, on the one hand, I need to obtain supplies and information from the outside world, and on the other hand, I need to prepare poison for them, and provide help in soul searches.

"I kept in touch with them until 774 A.D., when the gnats broke in, and Surya and her mercenary group were attacked by the Syndicate before I was arrested, especially Surya, who specifically asked me not to hurt her, apparently for other purposes...... After that, I met you. ”

Teacher Zha suddenly looked at Mu Yan with a deep gaze: "I often think, if I hadn't met you at that time, what would have happened in the future?" Will I find Lily? She said she was hiding in the deepest part of Nilverheim, a place I would never be able to reach in my life......

"During those days in the Wind Firmament, I often had nightmares that I had really found her, but after trying to resurrect her by all means, it was not the person I was looking for. I also dreamed that the people of the Elemental Tower led the mercenaries to the White Rock Mine, shattered my creation all the way, drove straight in, and finally on that terrace, I awakened Lily with my soul, but before I could see her, I was completely wiped out by the divine fire......"

The old man seemed to be caught in his memory, his voice weakened, and he did not speak again for a long time.

Mu Yan was also silent all the time, he didn't know if this was a kind of time rewind, because in the game, the fate of the mad lich was like this.

"Hey, people like to be sentimental when they're old."

Teacher Zha patted his forehead and joked: "I don't know who the Syndicate is colluding with after Leorick died, but this organization is definitely more difficult to deal with than you think." It's a bunch of crazy people, crazy people with no lower limit. Necromancers may still have some kind of human obsession, but they don't, and they can sell their souls at any time as long as they give money.

"This is the second time they've infiltrated Jialan, and they can bypass Ricky. There must be some ulterior secret behind this, and I hope you can find out in advance. Of course, I'll try to protect the city as much as possible, even though I hate the Jialan. ”

Mu Yan nodded, silently reciting the name in his heart.

Syndicate......
