Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

Unfurling the unique black wings of the gods and demons, a suffocating terrifying power swept through, and the members of the gray shroud who were surging immediately fell silent and did not dare to speak, and spontaneously retreated to the two sides and separated, leaving a straight aisle in the middle.

Fortunately, the arrogant black knights, including Holm, fell to the ground and did not know whether they were alive or dead, and the remaining six black knights immediately lowered their heads and greeted the leader with great respect.

Aldrich showed rare caution about this, such a way of appearing in such a way that Xuan He had already grabbed the attention of everyone present before he could reveal his true body, and then he noticed that a group of people were gradually rallying around.

The wise man once said, "The enemy of your enemy is your friend."

Tris dismisses this, the enemy of his enemy can be used, but he has absolutely nothing to do with his friends.

There are many people in the underworld who are dissatisfied with the Gray Shroud, and now they are gathered around the Fourth Horseman, but they want to use the power of the Cursed Scepter he just broke to counter the prestige of the Black Scepter Dismaster.

However, some of them stood behind Aldridge and just wanted to push him down the stairs and make the situation more chaotic so that they could grab more profits.

The Scavengers' Guild, founded by the Fourth Knight Tris, has long been inflated and cannot be underestimated, it is not just a hastily formed group of adventurers by the frustrated people in the docklands, but a powerful force with a considerable number of industries and allies in its name, with the support of many councillors, maintaining close ties with the City Hall, the Night Watchman, and the City Guard, and entering the military industry.

The name of the Impartial is not only familiar to the gangs of all sizes in the docklands, but even in the underground world of the gray area, Aldrich has a very loud reputation, if it weren't for the fact that the identity of the deputy head of the Night Watchman is really embarrassing, he will soon be regarded as the new boss of the docklands.

Of course, if it was just to gain a shallow reputation, Tris would not be valued by the leaders of the major forces in the underworld, when the Fourth Knight returned from the North Sea to be gilded, and learned that the scavenger guild was squeezed out by the tacit gang in the docklands, and several leaders with huge power and incomparably deep roots died violently for no reason, causing some important inheritances to be torn apart, and the gang became a plate of loose sand and began to decline, and was soon divided up by long-coveted competitors.

From this point of view, several fast-rising medium-sized gangs in the docklands are undoubtedly the biggest beneficiaries, and it is hard not to suspect that they pooled the money to hire the blades in the dark, but the scavenger guild that broke free from the shackles should be the biggest suspect, but there are many doubts about President Tris's motives, which are ignored by everyone, intentionally or unintentionally.

After that, a certain big man in the underworld who was taxed by the scavenger guild with a sword, causing a slight drop in the profits of the smuggling channel, was ready to start punishing, and the fourth knight used a small trick to attract everyone's attention.

The issuance of war bonds not only filled the coffers of the nobles quickly, but also made the parliamentarians and their financiers and supporters behind them make a lot of money, and even the business in the gray area of the "franchise" of the underground world was as hot as a red-hot copper plate.

No one is going to fight against money, especially Aldrich Tris, who led the bond issuance, and unwittingly won him the favor and approval of the bigwigs of the underworld, although he himself did not know about it, but the docklands have defaulted to his traditional territory, and even the marginal areas occupied by the sewers have a place for the scavengers' union - anyway, next to the inhuman dark inhabitants, many forces are happy to see that someone is willing to act as a barrier.

Therefore, when the Fourth Knight made a decisive breakthrough and used the gray shroud of the double scepter as the object of trial, those who were also at the pinnacle of life and possessed extraordinary power immediately came to watch, or it could be said to be a rallying support, of course, there was certainly no shortage of treacherous people who wanted to use the strength of the Great Knight of Virtue to achieve their own goals.

The Black Scepter Dismaster is now in a very complicated mood, for Aldrich Tris, who was an inconspicuous little man a few years ago, has now become a great knight who is neck and neck with him, and the once condescending superiority constantly encourages him to teach him a lesson that is not old enough to truly step into the transcendent level of the white knight, but the inexplicable danger and the uncertainty of his fate has become blurred and can no longer be elusive, so that the cautious leader of the gray shroud is stunned.

He wanted a harmonious reconciliation, but there was no suitable step down in front of him, and the long-term repression of the cursed scepter Holm was released, and his arrogant nature was soon revealed, in addition to gathering the members of the Dead Eye Knight's line, he also had the audacity to poach people from other forces, and at the same time made enemies for the gray shroud for no reason, due to the expansion of the forces under his command, he was also arrogant and domineering within the organization, and often embarrassed him.

Quarrels that have nothing to do with interests, as the only black scepter, Dismaster tries to be as tolerant as possible, who knows that blind forgiveness fuels Holm's arrogance, in addition to the arrogant black knights, even fear and hypocrisy also secretly reach out, if it weren't for the fourth knight to break his scepter today, sooner or later, the leader of the gray shroud will take matters into his own hands to remove the blood of the tissue, and by the way, dig up this rotten piece of rotten flesh.

But Dismaster can't say all this, otherwise the Black Knight Group, which ranks first in the underground world, will lose its cohesion and be disheartened, and when the time comes, the gray shroud will automatically fall apart without even other forces.

Not speaking for a long time is also an attitude, and the slightly relaxed atmosphere around it has become stagnant again due to the silence of the black scepter, as for Aldrich Tris, who defeated the cursed scepter Holm head-on, it is only a little depleted of strength, and the left and right wrists are affected by the self-created extraordinary knightly skills, and if there is no tenth, then at least ninety percent is left.

The only place where there is too much attrition is the dangerous spiritual battle, with the Eight Virtues Cycle System, the source of faith is endless, and he has already locked the victory in advance, and personally seriously polluted the Scepter Knight with both three lines, but at the same time, Holm's main source of arrogance inevitably affects him or some kind of hint in turn.

Aldrich, whose self-confidence has swelled dramatically, can't help but be a little eager to try, breaking a cursed scepter that is not of good color may not be enough, if he can fight the black scepter, it is rumored that the top five big people in the underground world will definitely make this presumptuous visit twice as effective with half the effort, and everyone present, including enthusiastic onlookers, will feel that the trip is worth it.

Suddenly there was a muffled murmur of a demon in his ears, and he didn't know the direction of the distance, and the voice full of temptation kept provoking Triss to swing his sword at the black scepter.

The source of the eight virtues endowed Aldrich with eight abilities, among which the self-defense against all spiritual attacks was immediately manifested and played by the helmet of the eagle, building a tight line of defense, instantly shielding the whispers that were not without malice.

Tris's boiling blood suddenly cooled slowly, and the brain of a pot of boiled wheat porridge also returned to its usual calmness, and the joy of being promoted to the Great Knight of Virtue, and the victory of breaking the cursed scepter were all pressed in his heart.

He slowly turned his head to look behind him, unfamiliar faces, so close to him, with complicated feelings, with different purposes, on the surface, in order to support the Fourth Knight, in fact, most of them just wanted to see the end of the king, and walked off the stage in some undignified way.

Aldrich doesn't have this great sentiment, and even if he does, it's for his teammates, not the various forces in the gray area of the underworld.

Moreover, with his current eyes, of course, he could see through the crowd of supporters that there were many inhuman people from the depths of darkness, one of whom was a blood-colored flame as thick as volcanic magma, lurking in the unfathomable underground and constantly flowing, clearly a rare vampire lord, and at least a viscount-level, an old antique that entered no less than the transcendent level of the cursed scepter.

The two looked at each other, and it was the other party who was injured and retreated, bowing their heads to avoid the hood of the cloak that was pulled up, this scene surprised Aldrich, and he immediately understood that the strange sound echoing in his ears just now must have come from this undead creature.

Tris turned his head, the expression on his face returned to normal, and he nodded slightly to the leader of the gray shroud: "I'm very sorry, Lord Dismaster, the Black Scepter, because of the long-lost breakthrough in the secret ritual this morning, and the eagerness to make a name for himself made, I took the liberty of coming to visit. I beg your pardon!"

In a few words, he gently revealed what he had just done, it was more than thirty black knights and a knight of scepters, Dismaster had to admire these white knights, who were able to make excuses so magnificently, but the other party took the initiative to bow his head, so that the long-awaited step down finally appeared, how could he not seize the opportunity.

However, as the leader of the Grey Shroud, he had to give an explanation to the members of the internal organization, so with the help of Tris's mitigation strategy, the Black Scepter immediately changed the subject.

"It's incredible that a secret ritual can make you break through to become a great knight, and a rare white knight walking on the path of virtue. ”

Aldrich, who had seen all the unsightly spectacles of the City Hall councillors, was dumbfounded, but he was also the one who brought a country circus-like scavengers' union to the current Wharf overlord, so he quickly entered a state of mouth-watering.

"Yes, even I find it a little incredible. Perhaps because times have changed, the old way of promoting seems to be not working, and I have found a new path. ”

He spread out his hands and slowly raised them, as if through the barrier of the stratum, embracing the vast blue sky.

"Look, the factories on both sides of the river, the roar of the machines is like thunder, and the continuous production of industrial products is worth ten manpower in one person. ”

"The invisible barriers of the countryside and pastoral, in the old times, were indeed like iron walls, but in the frenzy of cheap and high-quality commodity economy, a little resistance is like a small insect like a praying mantis arrogantly raising its arms to block the wheel of history. ”

"A new era is quietly coming, and in the roar of machines, unscrupulously intruding into our lives, everything that used to be has become unrecognizable. ”

"The nobles who were high in the ranks, because they stubbornly adhered to the traditions of the past, failed to manage well, and had to borrow to get by, resulting in a lot of debt. ”

"Once revered and trusted in the middle of the country, the pastoral knights lost their only source of property and had to sell their land at a low price and follow the tide into the city. For the sake of money, in order to satisfy his lust for power, he chose to fall into the darkness and become a fallen black knight. ”

"A helpless choice, a deplorable choice, but when there are more and more black knights, haven't you become the mainstream of the so-called knightly class, gradually infiltrating the upper echelons and beginning to regain power?"

"However, the Black Knight is not accepted by the mainstream public, and you can only choose to walk in the gray area, driven by flies and dogs, or enslaved by your own desires. However, there should be another alternative, like me. ”

Aldrich's aria-like rhetoric was stopped in time by the Black Scepter Dismaster, and if he continued, except for a vested interest in power and status like him, which would not be affected, the members of the Grey Shroud would inevitably be shaken by unpredictable results.

"Your story has long been spread throughout the underworld, but unfortunately, the encounters or adventures of Lord Triss are exceptional cases that cannot be replicated or emulated...... I'd like to know what the so-called secret ritual is all about? If it's not convenient for you to say, then forget it. ”

Aldrich shook his head slightly: "I said so much just now, but in fact, the secret has been hidden in it." You try to think about it, or just give a hint of what exactly I resonate with to get a long-lost breakthrough. As a reminder, the past methods of promotion, including the monastic precepts with the highest success rate, have had no effect. ”

"Age, I say it's a new era!" Of all the people present, the highest wisdom was undoubtedly the vampire lord who had lived a long time and read the short lives of mortals.

Aldrich Triss, however, did not express anything, neither objected nor agreed.

Dismaster, the Black Scepter, was keen to grasp the opportunity, as he instinctively sensed that it was the key.

It is well known that the White Knights of the old era were able to break through obstacles to reach the legend, and in the tales of the Bard, the Silver Hand, the Oak Sage, and the Emerald Martial Arts, all of them were level 20 knight lords with unique realms and could even wrestle with demigods.

However, the Black Knight line has always been stuck in the scepter, and there are very few people who can become the knight of the crown, most of them are the grand dukes of a country, ruling the people with tyranny and drawing from fear. In addition to the suppression of the gods and the White Knights, the old order that covers the entire continent of West is also the key to this.

However, when the old and the new era alternated, the gods disappeared without a trace, never answered the prayers of the believers, and when the faith collapsed and the hearts of the people were confused, the Black Knight immediately flourished, which may also have something to do with this chaotic trend of the times.

Dismaster seemed to have figured out the key, but he didn't know where to start, after all, the Black Knight still insisted on using the traditions of the past, and it seemed that now he had to make a change, as Lord Triss said, and resonate with a certain spiritual trait of the new age.

Is it greedy? He has seen a lot of the ugly faces of the people chasing money. But this can also be regarded as a breakthrough!
