Act One Hundred and Three: Eternity IV
"The structure of the Congregation is composed of a Council of Senates, a Privy Council, and a sub-council, whose members call themselves members, many of whom are inextricably linked with the nobility of various countries, and even themselves nobles, such as Anlek, the Grand Duke of Siphah, and the Marquis of Youxi; The number of subordinate members of the Society is innumerable, but most of the councillors are not really closely connected to the Society, and they receive more benefits from the Society and pay less - this is actually a means for the Society to win hearts and minds, they have some evil black magic, unknown channels of information, install staff, and provide a channel for the circulation of some shady stolen goods - such as in Cruz, They are behind the forbidden slave trade in St. Osor and Eruin, and although these illegal activities have long been prohibited by law, they are unfortunately quite popular among the nobility, so they have become a breeding ground for evil, and the cultists use this method to lure you and our already filthy nobles into depravity, and use this as a link between them, slowly corrupting them, and a few nobles will become the core members of it, I think An Lek is one of the Celestial Dragon God Emperors. ”
Shiduo was a little sad to hear this, this was not the same as the aristocratic circle she imagined, it was hard for her to imagine that among her friends there might be cultists lurking in the One of Everything, she couldn't help frowning and asked, "Mr. Brando, is what you said true, how could it be ......?"
"Shiduo, you are not deeply involved in the world, so you don't know how sinister this world is. Most of what Brando said was true. Nobles of the Empire, ......" Veronica sighed.
Brando waited silently for the two of them to finish, and he knew that Veronica had reason to sigh, because she was also a member of the nobility, and naturally regretted the decay and depravity of this class as a whole, but he was not, and the world thought that he was the heir of the Holy Sword Darus. He inherited the glory of the Highland Knights, but only Brando himself understood that he had a more noble and arrogant soul in his heart. Then he continued: "The Privy Council is made up of the President of the Privy Council and one hundred and thirteen cardinal members, who will wear the silver ring of the serpent and call each other 'Your Excellency.'" They fight for a common goal, which is to return the world to the rule of the Dragon of Dusk; There are generally two requirements to become a cardinal, first, to have a fanatical and wise belief in the doctrine of the oneness of all things, and secondly, to reach the level of civilization in one, and the last time we killed Amman should be a member of the Privy Council, I found this thing from his dimensional cave. Brando pulled out a shiny silver ring with two snakes around it, latching to each other's tails.
Veronica snorted softly, a little disdainful, all things are one and there will be one hundred and thirteen members of the Elements of Civilization. But the Flame Sanctuary had more Templars than that, and even just the Flame Knights, far beyond that, and the core power of the All Things to One was no more than that in her opinion. Brando sensed her feelings, but he didn't immediately warn her. Instead, he continued: "As for the Senate and the Privy Council, none of them have ever seen their identities, and even a few of them are not clear, but their existence is mentioned in some fragmentary information. But I think that these people should be no less than the twelve patriarchs of the shepherds, and they should be of similar strength. ”
Veronica nodded. Expressing approval of this speculation. However, she raised her head, and two sharp gazes shot out of her emerald green eyes, which fell on Brando's face: "This information is also from the Wizard of the Black Tower. ”
"No, these are the investigations of Charles before his death." Brando smiled and replied confidently.
Veronica glanced at him, she had already known Brando's identity from the news from the temple, and naturally she also knew the identity of Charles, she knew that Charles had investigated the Oneness Society for a long time before his disappearance, and even the nobles who knew it thought that the genius of the wizard of the Highlands was killed at the hands of the Oneness Society, these were all mistakes in the past, and the Temple of Fire also played a dishonorable role in it, and the female legion leader may have doubts in her heart, but she doesn't want to dwell on this topic.
"Generally speaking, the Senate rarely interferes in the things of the One Thing that will be in the world, although in fact they have some power that we do not know. However, the secular force of the Order of Oneness is indeed in the hands of the Privy Councillor, and two of them are the most famous, one is the Order of Chaos, and the other is the black-clad knights we see now, they have another name, called the Knights of the Dead of Order. These two forces can only be mobilized by a Privy Council Order personally signed by the Speaker of the Privy Council, and it is improbable that Enrik will soon be promoted to the rank of Privy Councillor, and if it is coincidental enough, he may have been to fill the vacancy created by Amman's death—"
"Heh," Veronica chuckled, "so it's our responsibility." ”
"That's right, so today our role is to continue to keep this vacancy vacant." Brando playfully reminded: "The nobles of Eruin often shout that the Noble House is too expensive, and I think that everything must have the same troubles, and we will find a way to solve them." ”
This amused everyone, except for the Cruz nobles who accompanied him, because Brando's words were also a double-edged sword, and they were sarcastically ridiculed. "You're so humorous, Mr. Brando." The scholar lady naturally heard what Brando said, and couldn't help but whisper a praise.
But a little behind Miss Senpai, Akane looked a little dazed, she looked at Shiduo with a little jealousy, and then touched the ring on her finger in fear.
"I mean it, but I would like to remind you that the first qualification of a Privy Council is a fanatical and wise faith, and as for the true fanatics, this is what they lack the most." Brando replied.
"What do you mean?" Veronica suddenly heard something in his words.
"As far as I know, the Knights of the Dead of Order are no less than thirty thousand in size, and most of them have the strength we say we see now. And in the secular force of the Order of Oneness, the status of the Knights of the Dead of Order is far below that of the Chaos Order. Brando said slowly.
Everyone gasped, and suddenly understood the reason why Brando had calmed them down, and it was indeed better to be cautious in the face of such a behemoth enemy.
"But Enlek must die, not just because of the portal fragment in his hand, and not just because of his identity as One Things, because I think we have more reason here to take revenge." Brando glanced at Peya, and the Hunter Maiden clenched her hands into fists, her whole body tense and trembling slightly. It was a long time before she opened her eyes, gave Brando a complicated look with those dark and somewhat wild eyes, and replied with a gasp, "Thank you, Lord Knight." ”
Everyone already understood what Brando meant, and in fact they understood when they saw the dragon flying into the sky, that Anlek must be waiting for the frost fang dragon to fly out of the lair, but he could not guess that he had made a fatal mistake.
In the distance, the bodies of the two hunters lay silently on the snowfield, and the blood that flowed out of Bobo and froze into ice was striking.
Farther away, Anlek and his members of the Order of Oneness had already begun to enter the narrow chasm, the noble private soldiers lined up, the first to be driven in, then the Black Knights of the Death of Order, who entered slowly in three groups, and finally Anlek, and several of his guards.
Brando rubbed his hands and looked at this scene coldly, he didn't dare to get too close, although he himself was not a big problem, but he didn't dare to guarantee that the others could not be detected by the other party, the silver knight Xivia beside Anlek was a real elemental level master, not to mention that there were several wizards around the other party. Brando also doesn't trust the Cruz nobles brought by Veronica, in fact, there has been a magical silence in the team, except for the fact that he can contact Métisa through the more advanced authority of the Guò Brigade Mage, the access to the outside world is completely closed.
No one can guarantee that the people around them are not members of the One Society.
"Do you see the people around Anlek, little one?"
"There are a few wizards I have not seen before, and I have no impression, who must be members of the One Order. Dejar's guy was actually inside, I thought he was dead, no wonder Ampesel didn't find this guy's body after the first battle. Brando nodded.
"Shall we wait here for them to come out?" Shiduo asked.
"No, the ice cavern beneath the Frost Fang leads in all directions, and there are many passages inside. We'll have to find a way to keep up and surprise the Grand Duke. Brando replied.
"Now?"
"Wait a minute."
"But Mr. Brando, didn't you say there's a frost dragon in it?" Shiduo asked, looking at him curiously.
"As I said, it's timid."
……
Starr was cowardly, regardless of whether he himself - no, Ben Long admitted it or not. One of the reasons he lives in those cobweb-like blue ice caves is to escape danger. It was a very comfortable point, like now, that allowed him to put his paws on the cracks in the ice covered with blue and white cracks, hiding in the shadows, and his cyan eyeballs snooping motionlessly at the uninvited guests.
Although in recent times, it has begun to find itself increasingly difficult to move between these cracks.
Enrik's team was actually not far from Star, but no one realized that there was a dragon lurking around them. Start's massive white and pale blue body walked behind the translucent ice wall, the interlaced ice prisms acting as his natural cover, as he ordered his entourage, a group of white-haired, stinking icefield cavemen to attack the humans, while he himself created a cavern behind.
