Chapter XIII Round Tables
A deep underground chamber where the flames are lit up. The first two seats on the round table were empty, and the four of them sat in silence.
Two figures descended from the endless spiral staircase and stepped into the deep space here. Twenty-four was in front of him, his heart was terrified, the deepest part of this dungeon was the privilege of the Nine Guards, and it was the first time he had gone down to such a deep place. The moment he stepped onto the ground, he glanced up at the four seats at the round table. The firelight flickered, and the four people in front of him, completely wrapped in black robes, turned into whirlpools in his eyes, slowly drifting towards the black wall behind them. Only the silver-white mask, shining with the cold light of the firelight, was firmly on top of the original seat. And their bodies are twisting, as if turning into smoke.
"Bang, bang......"
The rhythmic percussion seemed to come from a distant place, twenty-one spirits, and the consciousness suddenly detached from that distorted time and space, and then the body began to swing uncontrollably. The moment he regained consciousness, he immediately bit the corner of his mouth and forced himself to close his eyes, finally completely isolating the terrifying aura at the moment when his vision was blocked. In a short moment, he was already sweating like rain. He struggled to resist the urge to turn and run away, and slowly knelt down on one knee. The sound of percussion was not illusory, it was from Shadow Seven, who seemed to be knocking on the stone table at random, but it gradually brought Twenty-Four back to his composure.
Kagei stepped out from behind him and sat down in his seat. Everyone seemed to ignore Twenty-Four's discomfort and Shadow Seven's move, and the sound of percussion disappeared at some point, there were a total of five people at the round table, Shadow Three, who was in charge of the core location of the mansion, Shadow Four, who really mastered Peterson's core intelligence work, Shadow Five, the chief instructor of the Shadow Guard Reserve Battalion, Shadow Six, who served as the guard and monitor of the entire family, and Shadow Seven, who was in charge of the order of the Shadow Guard. It is extremely rare for five people to appear at the same time in the nine guards, except for one or two seats, Shadow Eight has disappeared for three years, Shadow Nine is Berg's guard, and all the others are all there. What's even more incredible is that Shadow Three and Shadow Six, who are in charge of the family's guards, appeared here at the same time, which is something that would never happen in the past.
"Seven, you'd better have enough reasons." At this time, the top shadow three said in a deep voice. It's obviously a shadow guard walking in the dark, but the voice is majestic. He is the last person who should be here, although there are clan elders who temporarily take his place, but the family is already on the verge of the storm, and he has always been uneasy in his heart. But Shadow Seven used his power of order to forcibly summon him here, which was even higher than Berg's power in non-war, and he had to come.
Shadow Seven nodded, not seeming to hear the threat in Shadow Three's words.
"Delay a quarter of an hour at most, twenty-four, tell what you know, without any judgment, just tell what you see."
Twenty-four, who remained on one knee, immediately replied, "Yes." ”
In the next two or three minutes, Twenty-Four described everything that had happened since the farm in extremely clean and concise words. He chose to return to the family knowing that he would definitely be questioned, so he already had a manuscript.
Silence fell again, except for Four and Seven, the bodies of the other three guards were somewhat shocked, but no one made a sound, but focused on Ying Four.
Shadow Four nodded, he was in charge of the information, and he had confirmed that everything Twenty-Four said was true.
"Bang!"
Kagezo's fist slammed into the stone table, even smashing a shallow pit. The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the first two positions of the Nine Guards disappeared at the same time, and there was even a suspicion of betrayal, which was a unique thing in the entire family history, and it was a great shame, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
Without giving everyone much time to think, Shadow Seven immediately spoke: "At this time, we can't mobilize too much strength to track down, we don't know who the enemy is, let alone what kind of power they have. Before this matter is revealed, according to the law of the guard, I will temporarily take the position of the shadow one, and call the shadow guard to prepare in the secret realm, do you have any objections? ”
Secret Place! Twenty-four's heart trembled, this was the core secret of the entire family, he was not yet at the level of the Nine Guards, and he was not qualified to hear such information at all, and the Five Guards present seemed to completely ignore his existence. This made his heart sink to the bottom, and a sense of death crisis began to linger in his chest, making him breathless, but he did not dare to make any movement, and his body became more and more stiff, as if turned into a stone sculpture.
The others obviously didn't expect that Shadow Seven would want to use the power of the secret realm, it was a real family background, and even Shadow Four began to hesitate.
"Is it necessary?" It was still Shadow Three who spoke, but at this time it was already a surprise, because this was a more important situation than the news that Shadow One and Shadow Two had disappeared collectively.
"I don't think you should be lucky, three, you and the Liusu Guard family, the fifth is also rooted in the reserve camp all year round, although you also have your own channels, but the information is completely behind me and four. Until today, the family masters of Twenty-One City have been uprooted, at least three material warehouses have been destroyed, Shadow One and Shadow Two have disappeared collectively, the two elders sent to annihilate The Hague have disappeared, and the two elders and two teams of shadow guards who went to support Icespring Valley and Gakison have disappeared, and they can't even find out where the airship disappeared. But what about us? Almost all the resources have been mobilized, and there is no clue who is attacking the family! ”
Shadow Seven paused for a moment, allowing Sanwei to digest the shocking news.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I can be sure that the family has reached the point of life and death, and if we don't use the foundation, we may not even have the opportunity to uncover all the power before it will collapse in an instant. I would also like to ask you to make a quick decision on where to go. ”
The moment he said this, the water ripples in front of Shadow Seven fluctuated, and a pitch-black token appeared in front of him. He didn't stretch out his hand, and the token fell straight onto the stone table. Through the dim firelight, a figure could be faintly seen on the token, like a ghost, only a simple "seven" character engraved on the forehead.
