The new king is not a king or emperor in the traditional sense, but a title - and the source of this title is the greatest plague of the Holy Age.

Banditry, as the name suggests, is a scourge caused by banditry—before the age of freedom, there were quite a few bandits in any era, some of them wanted criminals themselves, and some of them were bankrupt merchants, or craftsmen, or even simply farmers; Especially when there is a natural disaster, such people will gather in large numbers, and when the number of these people reaches a considerable level, the so-called 'banditry' will erupt.

Compared with natural disasters, bandits are more terrifying - disasters in the name of survival will always exceed everyone's expectations; For example, in the hundredth year of the reign of the Divine Age, there were unbelievable disasters in the whole of Lorante, droughts, floods, locusts, and plagues, as if they had made some promise, and they all fell on the earth, causing the population of the whole of Lorante to drop by 30% in less than half a year.

And then there were riots due to the shortage of food and drinking water, and there were riots in almost every region except the Holy See, the Holy Forest; Especially serious is the autumn forest area where various families are entrenched and the winter forest area with a special environment, but it is destined that when that Tardeci appears in the Tallinn area, these two areas with serious riots are destined to be forgotten.

The first church was burned down, and the grain and Kimpton that were removed from the church cellar became a reason for madness, like dominoes, and the chain spread throughout Lorante in an instant; The main force in the banditry: the rioting crowd began to frantically pour into the churches around the country and began to 'survive'!

And such an approach naturally attracted the attention of the Holy See; Almost in less than a week. A task force focused on encircling and suppressing Tardeci left the Sacred Grove; Among them are the Holy Knights of Martial Arts. There is also a cardinal archbishop with a powerful divine skill. There are also two full teams of Punishment Knights - the Holy See does not pay the corresponding attention to a person who rises among the outcasts, and this is bound to be a fatal mistake.

In fact, the Einsatzgruppen was ambushed before it reached Tallinn, and not a single person in the entire team survived; Including the cardinal and the holy knights, as well as the knights of punishment, the bodies of all were hung on both sides of the road for all who walked on both sides of the road to 'see'!

It was as if in flames. Thrown into a gasoline bottle, it exploded with an instant 'boom' - people who had been bound by the so-called theocracy for a hundred years seemed to have become unbelievers overnight, and began to 'thirst' for the hope of survival.

The bandits, who were originally ready to move, but were afraid of the Holy See, completely let go of everything and began to attack the church everywhere; Even, some people began to plan an attack on the sacred forest area; However, such a plan is just a plan, and when the Holy See's eyes are square, everything will naturally be different.

Tardeci and his gang of followers. The team sent by the Holy See Inquisition chased them from Tallinn to the depths of the Desert of Death, and finally. All were heard from again; And after one hundred and fifty days, known as Lorant's greatest banditry, the curtain came down - and for Tardeqi, who caused all this, people will call it 'the new king' in later generations!

The reason why it is so called is because many scholars believe that if it were not for the actions of the new king of Tardeqi, then the sacred age would not have been able to decline directly after fifty years, at least, it would have lasted several times longer - and the so-called new king naturally means to bring forth the new.

However, the new king in Lorant is definitely a mixed reputation - his greatest honor is to dare to attack the Holy See, and correspondingly, even the Holy See dares to attack other civilians; Naturally, he is not merciless, don't think that this new king is a hero who loves the people like a son.

He is greedy, cunning, and cruel; When he was alive, he was extremely luxurious, and when he died, he took with him countless treasures—according to some scholars, one-tenth of Kimpton on Lorant at that time was taken by the new king and went to an unknown place; Therefore, after the death of the new king, there are countless legends about the treasures of the new king.

However, the Sacred Age is over, and even the Age of Freedom has passed two hundred and fifty years, and for nearly three hundred years after the death of the new king, although the legend of the treasure has always existed, no one has been able to say exactly where, and most of it is just a rumor, or even a rumor at all.

However, Ye Qi didn't think that the old man in front of him would deceive himself with the new king's treasure-

The new king's treasure?

This is the subject of this secret gathering of dark mercenaries?

Ye Qi thought so, and then, unconsciously, looked at the old man in front of him, and subconsciously asked, "Who released the news about the treasure of the new king?" ”

"An insignificant little person, although, behind this little person there is a behemoth who supports him!" The old man pursed the corners of his mouth with slight disdain, and then, he chopped the cane in his hand vigorously, and said sternly to Ye Qi: "This news has attracted countless greedy people, aren't you one of them?" ”

Ye Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly at such accusations - before arriving in Dude, and even before entering this room, he didn't know what the dark mercenaries were attracted to this time, and he didn't even know about the so-called 'new king's treasure'; however, obviously, there was no way for him to explain to the old man in front of him, after all, the other party had decided that he was here for this treasure from the beginning.

With such preconceived notions, no matter how much he explains them, it is useless; After all, no matter how you look at it, the other party is not a very easy existence to communicate with - with a strange temper, this comment on the information in his memory is obviously not a fiction, it is a completely ironclad fact.

"Bernadette. Taylor, please explain it to me! ”

Ye Qi had to ask for help from the chameleon in the kitchen - in front of the other party's elders, Ye Qi was not easy to call him directly; Fortunately, he still remembered the name of the old man in front of him when he called the chameleon; Although it's just a surname. But the full name shouldn't be wrong either; Unless. Chameleons have other names.

"Wait a minute. Wouldn't it be better for us to discuss these things at or after lunch? Why do you want to say it at this time, it will affect our mood for the next meal! The chameleon's voice came from the kitchen, but the content made Ye Qi shake his head helplessly.

Obviously, this ally of his is not an open-minded person, before, he deliberately changed the topic in the car, which was definitely remembered by the other party, and immediately launched revenge; Even. Ye Qi guessed that when his ally answered again, the corners of his mouth must have turned up and he was smiling.

"That little man, is he still alive?"

Taking a deep breath, Ye Qi asked like this-although he couldn't eliminate the misunderstanding of the old man in front of him, he already had a topic with the other party, and he was still interested in this topic; Therefore, Ye Qi didn't mind chatting any further; At the very least, it was much better than the awkward silence that had been there before.

Of course. Ye Qi was also expecting that the old man in front of him would not be here to keep his mouth shut because of that misunderstanding; However, it is clear that Ye Qi's concerns are unnecessary. As soon as he finished speaking, the old man replied—

"Hickel was a lucky and clever little fellow who, when he found out that he was being taken advantage of, threw the bait to an organization that was good enough to protect himself; And, after that, he looked for an opportunity and disappeared from everyone's sight; Of course, he was still in the summer forest district and didn't even run out of Dude. ”

When it comes to this 'little person' in his mouth, this old man obviously has a considerable understanding of the other party, not only gave the other party an evaluation, but also made a fairly positive definition of the other party's whereabouts - for such an affirmation, Ye Qi even suspected that the old man in front of him knew the whereabouts of the other party.

"I don't know where that little guy is, he didn't take the initiative to contact me! So, if you dare to show such a look again, I will definitely knock you out of my house; It's just as ignorant as those guys out there! The old man obviously found something in Ye Qi's eyes, and immediately his tone became unkind again, and after Ye Qi laughed, his brain turned again.

The men outside were here to get the whereabouts of the old man's name, Hickel; Obviously, everyone thinks that Hickel should still know something, or that this Hickel simply hid some clues about Chinese medicine in the first place - Ye Qi naturally had a guess about what Hickel did for him; Whether it's keeping one hand to save your life, or finally sharing a share, it's a pretty good choice; Or another person who will do the same.

Moreover, it is obvious that those people outside obviously know that the people who live here in Lu Dao are not easy to mess with, so they will not turn their faces and make a move when they have not reached the last moment-before, although it was just a simple breath driving the momentum of the competition, but the strength of the old man in front of him, Ye Qi knew it; Although it has not yet reached the level of the Solar level, it is not far from this level, and it is completely the peak of the Moonlight level, which is even stronger than Jacob.

With such a level of strength, it is an existence worthy of attention anywhere, especially the killing aura brought out by the previous momentum, obviously this old man is definitely not a soft-hearted person, although the killing is almost, but the means are very spicy, it is absolutely there - for such a person, the Supreme Government, the Holy See and the Demon Hunter may not care, but in those organizations of the dark mercenaries, it is an existence that no one wants to provoke; Unless, you can kill the other party at one time, otherwise, you would rather suffer a small loss than provoke the other party.

Most of the dark mercenary organizations exist in a squad mode; Even powerful organizations such as the Mind of Slaughter and the Hand of the Abyss, which are known as the top ten in the dark mercenary world, will not have more than a hundred core numbers, and most of them are only hovering between fifty and sixty people; In addition to the requirements for strength, the management aspect is also something that the leaders of these dark mercenary organizations have to consider; Which of those dark mercenary organizations that used to expand blindly did not end up with splitting as the final result when they reached their worst?

Therefore, even though there are few people, loyalty is a must!

Compared to the most famous existences in the dark mercenary organization, such as the Mind of Slaughter and the Hand of the Abyss, the other dark mercenary organizations are even smaller, basically a little larger twenty or thirty people. The smaller ones are less than ten people; Once you have a task. It's basically the action of the entire organization; Therefore. Basically all dark mercenary groups cannot afford a surprise attack at certain moments.

You can imagine that in the middle of a mission, a powerful adversary suddenly appears and disrupts some of your arrangements, making your mission fall short or simply raiding your men and joining the enemy - this is the rhythm that destroys the entire organization.

So, most of the time. If you weren't sure that some small dark mercenary group wouldn't provoke a strong enemy for yourself - of course, they wouldn't mind if they had the chance; People who risk their lives for money are not uncommon among dark mercenaries.

"What's the specifics of that message?"

After thinking for a moment and writing down some information in his mind, Ye Qi asked again; However, this time, the old man did not say it very simply, but asked coldly: "Do you think I look like an old fool?" ”

Ye Qi immediately shook his head.

"So, why should I tell such important news to an 'irrelevant' person!"

The old man replied as a matter of course. At the same time, the word 'irrelevant' was resounded.

In this regard, Ye Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly. There is no refutation at all - in the face of the facts, any refutation is pale and powerless; Moreover, Ye Qi was sure that such a rebuttal would not be effective in front of this old man, but would make this old man even more disdainful.

Messing around, such behavior is enough to deserve anyone's contempt.

However, Ye Qi, who didn't get the corresponding information, didn't stop thinking in his mind, and after the wry smile was reined in, he summed up the existing information again-

As Raul said, Hickel is undoubtedly a little man who has been pushed out.

The real post-mastermind, also known as a behemoth, is undoubtedly the Holy See!

Moreover, coupled with the fact that the new king disappeared in the Desert of Death with a group of people from the Holy See, it is not surprising that the Holy See can have slightly accurate information.

What's more, those people in the Holy See are still from the Inquisition, and it shouldn't be very difficult for the head of the Inquisition to get a secret message!

But how did this cause an uproar in Dude and make the cardinal archbishop tired?

By these dark mercenaries?

However, most of these dark mercenaries are still surrounded by the lion army in the mountains on the outskirts of Landinburg......

Ye Qi frowned, thinking, and his index finger couldn't help but tap on the armrest of the sofa; And the old man sitting opposite Ye Qi immediately turned his head angrily after seeing this - obviously, in this person's heart, the man brought to the house by the chameleon must have to respect him as an elder; This is naturally reasonable, but there are some things that the old man obviously has not figured out.

Just like the previous misunderstanding, it is still a misunderstanding at this moment.

"Uncle Raul, Ye, it's time for lunch!"

As the short hand of the clock pointed between the numbers eleven and twelve, the chameleon's voice came from the kitchen, followed by the aroma of the food—several dishes were brought out at the dining table in the dining room, which was mixed with the hall, as the chameleon traveled back and forth between here and the kitchen.

As an appetizer, honeydew melon ham and sour shrimp are delicately placed in two small plates, each in front of their respective positions; And a large pot of borscht made Ye Qi, who had just sat down, sniff his nose unconsciously, obviously, the chameleon's craftsmanship was to surprise Ye Qi.

The side dish was a large plate of oysters mixed with mint sauce and milk sauce, and after mixing the veal steak with the main course and the vegetable salad that went with it, even Ye Qi, who had always missed the dishes of his hometown in his heart, couldn't help but admire the taste; And when the fruit and tea were placed on the small stand on the side, the chameleon also stopped running around and sat next to Ye Qi, facing the old man.

Obviously, as a lunch at home, there is no need to follow the so-called order of serving; Everything is placed on the dining table, which is the essence of eating at home; However, with the intervention of Ye Qi, an 'outsider', the old man was undoubtedly very dissatisfied, just a little honeydew melon ham and sour shrimp, two bites were put into the old man's mouth, and he chewed it vigorously, as if he had turned the food into someone who made him angry and unhappy.

"Little Taylor, the craft has improved again!"

Although he was angry, the old man did not forget to praise his juniors.

"This is all due to Ye, after eating the food made by his disciple once in a while, I have studied cooking skills even more diligently!" The chameleon's answer made Ye Qi glance at the other party in surprise - in Ye Qi's memory, the other party should not have eaten the food made by his female disciple.

"Just because you don't know the way doesn't mean it doesn't exist!"

The chameleon saw Ye Qi's surprise and immediately replied with a smile.

"His disciple? What kind of food can a teenage child make? ”

Undoubtedly, this old man knew Ye Qi's true age, and immediately became indignant for his juniors.

"It's because of this age that I'm surprised! However, now I am quite confident; Ye, did you say yes?"

With a smile on his face, the chameleon looked at Ye Qi, who immediately felt a wave of helplessness - although he expected that this lunch would not be peaceful, he did not expect that he would feel embarrassed in the first place.
