"Get out."

Berg's deep voice came, and the shoulders of the kneeling patriarch shook and he stood up without saying a word and withdrew.

A slender figure took the place where the patriarch was.

"Report." A hoarse voice came, revealing a chill.

"In three days, we lost fifteen places to the actual helm. How many more, it is not clear, we have already sent out inquiries to all the forces of the family in the mainland. There is no substitute for these fifteen known places in a short period of time, and it will take at least three months to regain control from now on. Among them, the snowy Ice Spring Valley in the north and the southernmost city of Gakison suffered the most losses, and the family's two most important navigation routes were threatened. ”

Instead of dropping the cup that had just been brought in, Berg gently picked it up and took a sip of tea. For three whole days, he didn't leave the study room, sent almost all of his shadow guards, and got one cold news after another. In just these three days, the losses of the Peterson family have been astronomical, and this is definitely not the result of the struggle of those unsuccessful juniors in the clan. Money aside, these fifteen local leaders are the absolute elite of the family, if the return clan is all elder-level figures, and can achieve this position, the strength and ability are second to none, he rummaged through the entire family, and he can't even fill such a huge gap in a while. Someone is declaring war on his Peterson family, and it must be a behemoth to do such a thing in three days without knowing it. He began to think in his heart, thinking about the forces on the mainland one by one to no avail.

"There can be no trouble with the route of Ice Fountain Valley and Gakison, there are still eight elders in the clan, choose two from the last four, use the floating boat, set off immediately, allow the right to act cheaply, and use the resources of the two governments, be sure to ensure that the route is not lost."

Berg said, throwing two daggers. The man in black caught it with both hands, carved several improvised magic arrays on the dagger one after another, and then plunged them into the ground. The hard marble floor seemed to turn into a quagmire, and after a ripple, it completely engulfed the dagger. This dagger represents not only the order, but also the right to mobilize resources, it can be said that as long as the two elders set foot on the corresponding land, they can call on all the local family resources, and the authority is extremely high, only under Berg.

"This matter should not be careless, the two elders each sent a team of shadow guards to protect them secretly, and they have first-level authority."

The man in black lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, but his eyes were terrifyingly cold. Although the elder has a noble status and superb strength, he has been in the clan for a long time and involves too much, and he himself represents different forces within the clan. At first glance, it is difficult to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to get such a high authority, and these two teams of shadow guards are not so much protection as surveillance.

"Yes."

The man in black's voice was flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Laying out the two most important points, Berg settled down a little, and then asked, "How is the warehouse?" ”

"Tim was poisoned and died, Elder Miller was missing, and the Shadow Guard ruled dead."

Berg's heart sank deeper and deeper to the bottom.

"Still can't find out what poison it is?"

"Yes, the warehouse is closest to us, and Tim's body has not been destroyed, so we sent the four relatives of Shadow. The news came back today, and it was impossible to determine what kind of poison it was, and it was speculated that the effect was to devour the life force instantly, but it was not accurate, and in the original words of Shadow Four, it was isolation. ”

"Isolated?" This is a very strange word, Shadow Four is the poison master of his shadow guard, and he has a record of poisoning the great magician silently, since he said so, he must have noticed a special problem.

"Yes, I am not highly accomplished in the poison path, and I don't agree with his words, so I can only relay them. His exact words were that the human body was an extremely magical place, and some high-level poisons involved the realm of devouring life force or burning life force, but there was generally a limit. Because once the life force dies too quickly, the body will react naturally, which can be understood as the production of an antibody. As a result, the devouring is very violent at first, but eventually it will be a little weak, often with other paralyzing components. But in any case, there is a time gap between the onset of this poison and death. But this time the phenomenon seems to be able to lurk in the body for a period of time, and then instantly isolate the person from all life force, directly causing death. He guessed that this involved the realm of the soul, a poison that separated the body and soul. ”

Berg somewhat disagrees with Shadow One's statement, Shadow Four's statement seems to be too idealistic, the soul, which is a taboo of magic, is an unattainable height, and it is impossible to even prove the existence of the soul. He rubbed his brow, which was a little tight, and suddenly a deep feeling of tiredness welled up. Whether Ying Si is reliable or not, at least it proves that this is a poison that even he can't see through.

"Miller also died of poison?"

"According to the scene, Elder Miller should have died in battle and was burned to ashes by the enemy, but the other party did not clean up the battlefield, and the provocation was still injured, so it is impossible to judge. However, it is certain that it is not a team fight, before Tim's poison hair, it should be two people fighting together, and the other party is either one or two, no more. ”

Berg thought about it, Miller's strength ranked above the top in the Council of Elders, and he used the frozen world perfectly, and the strength of the other party can be imagined.

"How's the private treasury?"

"All destruction."

"What!"

Berg took the case, and this was the first time he lost his temper in front of the film today. Tim's private vault is one of several places where the family's vital resources are stored. The huge amount of materials in the private treasury is secondary, and many of its cherished materials are extremely difficult to obtain, most of which have been accumulated little by little by the family over hundreds of years, even with his height today, he is still distressed.

"The other party used endless fire."

Berg sat down dejectedly, endless fire, that is endless fire, is it too extravagant to just destroy a warehouse.

"Upon investigation, Elder Miller has used a soul mark."

Berg's eyes were suddenly as sharp as an eagle, and he had been attacked from behind like a blind man before, and finally had a decent clue. The soul mark of his Peterson family is not such a simple magic, and if this clue is used well, he may be able to find a breakthrough.

"You go in person, and you have to hit it with one hit. The matter was classified as top secret, and the news was blocked as the first priority. ”

"Yes."

"In addition, Danmo City only sent one Elder Jonathan, I don't worry, and immediately send Elder Richard, this matter is equally important. You can't make a big show, you have to take that nautical line in one go. ”

"Yes."

With Berg's order, Shadow One disappeared in place, and he sat alone in his study, restless. At his level, intuition cannot be ignored. He always had an obscure feeling, like the oppression that preceded a hot summer and storm.

The terrible poison that he had never heard of, the endless fire, something that even the Peterson family did not have in stock, his strong individual strength, and the intelligence and ability to destroy the leaders of fifteen important forces in a short period of time all confirmed his suspicions. There is a great force hidden in the darkness that is making a move against the Petersons family. Who could it be? And what is the motivation? Berg pondered and meditated, how many years had he not encountered such a headache, and his mouth was a little bitter.
