"But the first thing I have to do is build my own power. Wandering in the gray area between law and crime is the source of profit and the living space of urban gangs. ”

Aldrich Triss gazed at the "Pit Viper Fragment" in his hand, and remembered the Broken Mask, a secret organization behind the bearer Shadow Hand Musk, continuing the priestly legacy of the lost god "Shadow King".

"As I recall, the Broken Mask was built in the depths of Eastwood's sewers, in the secluded area below the surface, the so-called station, the Shadow Corridor. ”

"Without the support of the gods, it can maintain a centuries-long tradition. This perseverance and patience are indeed admirable, but strength is strength, and the priests who have lost their magic are a group of bad old men who are powerless. As long as I get the Mask Breaker Force, the rest of the matter is too easy to deal with. ”

The nights in the Northland are longer than in other places, and Aldrich Triss may have a problem even using his knightly skills when he looks at the meagre source of virtue in his body. However, the newly acquired snake power, especially the most important blood of the earth, gave him the ability to heal himself quickly and regenerate.

Vaguely, Aldrich Tris felt that as long as he found a weapon of the same origin similar to the "Pit Viper Fragment", he could increase the snake power he had obtained, and advance to the legendary level of the world as quickly as possible.

He remembered the battle he had just had with Medusa, an epic monster in his prime, in the spiritual world between the unreal and the real: "Snake scale armament, split body attacks, and eternal petrified rays are all very good abilities, I like them." ”

Thinking of this, Aldrich Triss couldn't help but lick his lips, found a sewer entrance nearby, raised his right foot and paused lightly, and shook the manhole cover with a skillful force that was free to retract, revealing a swarthy sewer.

At the same time, in the shadow corridor where the broken mask is located, a row of spine-shaped candles, the flame core ignites a faint green phosphorescence, illuminating the corridor dozens of meters long, and a total of one hundred and eight paintings can be vaguely seen hanging on the left and right sides, but unfortunately a small half has lost its color.

An old man wearing a silver ring and a black gauze robe looked at the painting of the "Shadow Hand" Musk, and gradually the color dimmed, and in the blink of an eye, his face turned black, and he knew very well in his heart that the only son of the leader of the organization, Hilto, was dead, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly.

However, he didn't have to be happy for long, and the outlying personnel stationed on the Hawkeye Black Market on the surface of the sewers, the shadow paintings linked to his life, were also rapidly fading in color.

Hedris, the spiritual leader of the Broken Mask and the eldest son of the last High Priest of the Temple of the "Shadow King", began to look ugly.

He keenly felt a cold malice, like being stared at by a dragon at the top of the food chain in nature, the kind of fate that he could not resist, he could only take off his collar and obediently show the weakness of his neck, which deeply shook the old man.

"Shadow Hand Musk disregarded the Shadow Commandments and took away the fragments of the epic weapon Pit Viper, which is simply a betrayal of the organization, he doesn't have the guts, there must be someone behind him. I know all about the forces that Hilto has secretly cultivated, and he is certainly not behind the scenes, but our enemy. ”

Hedris, the spiritual leader of the Broken Mask who inherited the inheritance of the priests of the "Shadow King", suddenly found another painting in the Shadow Corridor, the portrait of his illegitimate son had lost all color, and the cold expression on his face could no longer be maintained, as if a glacier had collapsed, and the whole person had completely collapsed.

"Ershak is dead! God...... It's not the same as saying yes. ”

The old man's expression was sluggish, but the tide of sadness quickly faded, and when Hedrith straightened his back, his silver-white hair, which had hung limply over his shoulders, was now stretched out, and even swayed upwards like flames.

At the same time, after killing the members of the Shattered Mask, Aldrich Triss unexpectedly discovered that the power of Medusa in his body actually had the ability to devour, and he was able to accept all the shadow power in the prey without any remaining drops, and transform it into a part of himself.

The accumulated source of shadows, the different sigils on the back of the hand, the narrow sword, the spiked shell of the humanoid, and the tiny sparks that bloomed, were all trophies obtained from the hunt of the Shattered Mask members just now.

Those who haunt the sewer black market, despite their disguises, cannot escape the eyes of Aldrich Triss due to the shadow power in them.

Hiding his hostility, the killing move that broke out in an instant, two members of the secret organization who were not mature enough were killed, and the peers who kept coming and going around him did not even notice anything, or they did not notice Aldrich Triss's small movements.

After all, the current Eastwood City is not an era of legends and many sages like dogs, and the big men who really have the strength and power will not continue to stay in the sewers, they usually use various ways to successfully wash their hands ashore and deal with the officials in a proper manner.

"Therefore, being attacked by the Great Lords of the Northlands, the Broken Mask that is not officially recognized, and the fact that it does not have strong supporters, but has the inheritance of the priests of the gods, is simply the best target. Even if they are uprooted, there will be no gossip from Eastwood City officials. After all, the assassination of nobles dared to accept the deal, and was willing to put it into action, and the bottom line had been crossed. ”

"The leader of the Broken Mask must be brainless, otherwise he would not have made such a stupid decision, did not weigh his weight clearly, arrogantly went to war with the noble group, and set himself on fire The example of setting himself on fire is the best example for other secret forces. ”

Aldrich Triss decided to take care of the fall and began to methodically eradicate the members of the Broken Mask who were operating in the shadows, but his actions soon became uncontrollable, as the people who still haunted the sewers with the power of Shadow disappeared as if they had received an urgent warning.

"It took so long to find out! It's a sloppy organization with no sense of existential crisis, and I need to teach them a lesson. ”

Aldrich Tris did not hesitate to cross the boundary between the surface and the second layer of the sewer and emerge into the underground world of natural caves and tunnels.

The Shadow Corridor, where the Broken Mask was established, is located in a specially expanded cavern, and Aldrich Tris reads the memories before the "rebirth" and finds no more information about this secret organization, but it is rumored that the Shadow Master Musk can become a legend in the world, which is closely related to the silent disappearance of the Broken Mask.

"I estimate that this secret organization was bitten to death by the backlash of the shadow hand Musk, and everyone's life and source have become a stepping stone for this person to become a legend in the world. It's a good opponent, but it's a pity that he died at my hands and ended his life early. ”

Aldrich Triss's current physical state is at best a "white knight", with the Eight Virtues Pillar of Faith, several times more sources of faith than ordinary knights, a longer ability to continue fighting, and knows how to use knightly skills.

However, he has all the memories of his rebirth, whether it is combat experience or vision, far beyond the ordinary level of knights, after all, Aldrich Tris once transformed into a demigod, and even with the help of the ferryman, he broke through the crystal wall of the world and successfully stepped onto the stage of the multiverse as the Archon of Light.
