Chapter 10: The Thirteen Families

"The Ancient Century mission world opens, mission members: 15, 3 veterans, 12 newcomers, the mission begins..."

………

The sun was shining brightly on the earth, quiet and peaceful, and the streets were crowded with pedestrians, but everyone cast reverent and reverent glances at an old church building as they passed it.

The Vatican, the center of Europe, and this church building is the heart of the Vatican - the Holy Castle of Light, the residence of the Pope, and the center of the Holy See.

No creature of darkness dares to come and go wild, for those who come will surely be greeted with death! In this ancient city, the power of the Holy See is unmatched, and there are nearly twenty cardinals and prefects of the Holy See alone! Not to mention that with the Knights of Light and the Pope in charge, no one will spare their lives, especially if they know that they will die.

Inside the city of Rome...... On a remote path, there were a few people lying horizontally, and when they looked closer, these people were Xu Ming and others.

After a while, Xu Ming and the others, who were veterans, were the first to wake up, Xu Ming looked at the newcomer behind him, hesitating whether to leave directly, he didn't want to do this in his heart, but this mission was too difficult, so difficult that Xu Ming felt like a child with bare hands to beat a strong young man with a weapon.

Just when Xu Ming hesitated, the first newcomer woke up, which made Xu Ming a little surprised, this time the newcomer's quality seems to be very high!

The first reaction of this awakened young man was to turn over and widen the distance between him and Xu Ming and the others, and looked at Xu Ming and the others vigilantly, Xu Ming covered his face, with a helpless and depressed face, yes, this must care about what he cares about!

"Captain, leave it to me," Wang Ba said with a look of eagerness.

"Well, go ahead, don't hurt too much, this newcomer is very good, it's worth taking him with you." Xu Ming nodded, he was not afraid that Wang Ba would not be able to beat him, but he was afraid that Wang Ba would be too ruthless!

Nodding his head, without hesitation, Wang Ba's figure flickered, and a punch hit the young man's face directly, with a hint of a smile on his face.

It's just that Wang Ba underestimated the newcomer this time, and the young man's reaction was fast enough, although his body couldn't keep up with Wang Ba, but the reaction speed was really fast enough, Wang Ba's punch did not hit the young man, but was dodged by the young man on his side.

"Huh! yes, looks like I'm going to have to work harder! There was a trace of surprise on Wang Ba's face, of course, it was only a little surprised, he knew that he had only used less than two percent of his strength.

Really! Wang Ba was a little serious, and suddenly the young man couldn't resist it, and soon his nose and face were swollen after being beaten by Wang Ba! The corners of Xu Ming's mouth twitched when he watched this scene, and he didn't slap people in the face!

Wang Ba grabbed a backhand and directly ended this one-sided hanging, "Wow, it's comfortable!" What kind of boy, are you still here? Wang Ba said with a happy face, God knows how badly he was beaten by Ye Zi some time ago! almost gave him a whole psychological shadow came out.

"If you look at the excitement on the ground, don't pretend to be asleep, get out of the way!" Wang Ba yelled at the eleven people who were still lying on the ground.

The people on the ground quickly got up one after another, and a big-eyed girl with glasses suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Why are you arresting us, do you know that this is a crime!" Let us go, let me tell you, my dad is the mayor of S City! ”

"Mayor of S City?! Phew! Even if the dragon gets in here, it has to lie on its stomach! Wang Ba said angrily, and his hideous appearance directly frightened the girl with glasses to speak.

"Listen! I know some of you think it's kidnapping or something, but I'll just say it again, it's not kidnapping, and you weren't caught by us! This is a terrifying place, this place is beyond human cognition, you have also received a task in your own minds, if you don't want to die, follow us honestly, don't trust me, you can also go, I will let you go, don't blame others for dying! Xu Ming said with a frown.

Regardless of whether these people believed it or not, Xu Ming turned around and walked directly towards the city, followed by Ye Zi and Wang Ba, leaving a group of people standing in place with big eyes and staring at each other.

The young man who was the first to wake up was the first to react, and said to the rest of the people: "Whatever you hesitate, I believe what they say, I'll go with them!" After speaking, he turned around and chased after Xu Ming and the others.

Joke! Don't believe who they believe? The young man knew very well in his heart that he was a top special soldier, and the person who could quietly stun himself and send it to this place would be a normal kidnapping? And the obscene-looking man who just fought with him, but he pressed himself to fight, and he didn't look like he was going all out!

Coupled with the task in his mind, the young man quickly decided to follow Xu Ming and the others! Not to mention anything else, the one who shot alone is already very strong, and this man is also very respectful to the other young man, just think about it, you know how terrifying these people are!

Half an hour later, a restaurant was ......

"It seems that only the two of you are chasing after you, well~ very good, at least we will try our best to take care of you if we can survive, provided that you don't drag yourself too down, let's introduce yourself." Xu Ming turned the cup in his hand and whispered to a man and a woman sitting opposite.

The two glanced at each other, and the man said: "I'll come first, my name is Wang Heng, my profession is special forces, if you fight, it's no problem for ordinary young adults to fight ten, of course, it's not good to compare with you, I was beaten just now." Xu Ming's eyes lit up, yes, this is almost to the limit of the human body!

After the man finished speaking, the woman on the side smiled and said, "My name is Qin Qian, my profession is quite special, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" Xu Ming smiled, believe?! He's fought the Ghost King!

The woman said to herself: "This world is far from being as simple as you think! Personally, I am a Taoist priest, a Taoist priest who catches ghosts, and I have seen the scene of ghosts killing people with my own eyes! It's a pity that the rules of heaven and earth in this world seem to have changed, and the aura is thin, my master told me that in ancient times, the aura of heaven and earth was strong, and Taoist priests like me could be seen everywhere, and there was no need to use any Taoist talisman to catch ghosts, where is it like now......" The woman sighed and shook her head.

"Captain, it seems that these two are good seedlings." Yezi, who had been silent, finally spoke in admiration.

Xu Ming nodded approvingly after listening to what Ye Zi said, and then seemed to think of something, and touched his nose in embarrassment, all of this was taken into the eyes of Ye Zi, and Ye Zi turned his head to the side in frustration.

Xu Ming briefly introduced the three people on his side, and then said to Ye Zi: "Ye Zi, um~ You use the charm technique to get some money first, before we act, let's inquire about the situation of the blood clan and the werewolf clan in this world." ”

After a pause, Xu Ming touched his nose and continued embarrassedly, "Money is needed for food and housing, this... So I'm going to have to trouble you. ”

Ye Zibai glanced at Xu Ming, did not object, got up and left his seat, and walked towards the counter.

A few minutes later, Ye Zi threw a small cloth bag in his hand to Xu Ming, and then sat on his own. Touching his nose in embarrassment, Xu Ming didn't say anything more.

Xu Ming, who got the funds for the event, immediately arranged for several people to take action.

Half a day later, the five of them came to the agreed manor, which was leased by Xu Ming for a one-year lease period.

After integrating the intelligence of several people, Xu Ming felt more and more that this mission was tricky.

Not to mention the strength of the Holy Court, the situation within the blood clan is complicated, and the thirteen families have split due to ideological problems, and have split into two major parties, the Secret Alliance and the Demon Banquet Alliance.

Every year, the two major parties clash in secret, and countless blood clans have died over the millennium. However, the two major parties are still in constant disputes, and on the other hand, although there is a struggle for power within the church, it is still united enough, and under the internal and external troubles, the blood clan has been pressed and beaten by the church!

The families of the two major parties are the Bruch, Gangero, Mokawi, Nofer, Torredo, Ruimor, and Fandro of the Hidden Alliance, and the Lesensen, Thorny, Independent, Ashmai, Xitai, Giovanni, Revorno, Perdition, and Cappadocia of the Devil's Feast Alliance.

Putting aside the factors of the Holy Court, it is a difficult thing to unite these two major parties alone, let alone unite the werewolf clan, if the two clans are not united, how difficult it is for Xu Ming to complete the task, that is, there are contradictions that can be used, which makes it possible to complete this mission.

However, the first step of the alliance problem made Xu Ming difficult, and the split within the blood clan was something Xu Ming never expected! Xu Ming slandered the Thirteen Families in his heart, and he had to make some kind of split, making himself so difficult now!

After the Thirteen Families split the two parties, they were still able to independently resist the siege of the Holy See without being exterminated, and it is conceivable how powerful the Blood Clan would be if they united, and they would not even need the participation of the Werewolf Clan to fight against the Holy Court!

So the key question is, how to unite the two major parties? And it is not enough to just fight against each other, then the union of the blood clan and the werewolf clan is imperative, of course, this is only Xu Ming's plan, and there is a big problem when it comes to implementation!

You must know that it is difficult to convince the other party of the difference in philosophy, especially since the blood clan has not shown the slightest sign of improvement for thousands of years, and even because of the split, the Holy See took advantage of the situation and occupied a dominant position.

Xu Ming knew that if he wanted to complete the task, then the union of the two major parties and even the two major races was necessary.
