120 Aristocrats
The so-called 'there are still a few brothers and sisters waiting in high society' is not a casual remark by Doug, but indeed the next step that has been arranged a long time ago. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In considering the expansion of the Brotherhood, he had already made some comments on the current situation. It's easy to control a few gangsters through Igve, but although there are many benefits to be gained from controlling the lower classes, there are also many limitations, and if you don't want to improve it, even if the 'Brotherhood' succeeds in expanding, it will only be a bigger gang, which is not a good thing for him, so it is necessary to introduce new elements into it.
And now he has limited time, no energy and no manpower to set up any other games, so a kind of objects that can be quickly dealt with, and then can immediately play a huge role, have entered his field of vision - naturally those high nobles, who hold huge wealth and power resources, control the political direction of the state apparatus, and many times the gang bosses can't do anything that they can't do with their desperate efforts, and they only need one of their signatures to get it right away...... And if they joined, they would be able to lie to his previous description of the 'Brotherhood'.
As for the selection of specific targets, Doug did not waste any time, and his 'professional experience', which was once the personal companion of the Speaker of the Chamber's Mansion, quickly made him make a decision: to take those second ancestors.
Having done several errands for West, he knows very well that many times, these seemingly useless guys are actually as good as their fathers, because in the eyes of people they are not an independent individual, as the future rulers of their respective families, they are good investment targets and natural bridges close to those fathers in the eyes of others, so as long as they are not too demanding, it makes no difference whether they propose it or their father.
Moreover, another important factor is that they are still relatively young, not as well-trained and less dangerous than their fathers, and it is also because of their youth that they are more likely to be 'captured' - at least the noble lords will never go out with only one or two attendants, nor can they still gather together to have fun in the present atmosphere.
When Doug stood in front of the side gate of Viscount Gardnan's palace, the head of the Wright Imperial Judicial Office, he could clearly hear the noise of the staggered noise, the laughter of men and women, and the beautiful music that was almost completely drowned out, even from such a distance and the thick walls.
"What a happy guy......"
A sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and after looking left and right to make sure that no one was paying attention to him, he released the flying props from the warehouse and began to investigate the situation in the house.
Although as the head of the judicial department, Viscount Gardnan did enough to be sent to the gallows, and he let go of his hands to make a lot of money during his two consecutive terms, but he really offended many people, so there were more guards in his house than Speaker Cabech, and the courtyard decorated with many beautiful sculptures was ridiculously large, so that Doug waited a lot of time to seize a gap and sneak in.
I am afraid that this room has more rooms than the big hotels in Xi'an!
Sneaking into the maid's room on the ground floor without alarming anyone, Doug sighed at the luxury of the room as he searched for the hall where the banquet was taking place. At this distance, the noise became clearer, and occasionally there would be some ambiguous sounds in one of the rooms next to him, and the temporary tenants inside were screaming and moaning almost unbridledly, which made Doug's heart provoked by Igf grow strong again, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and hastened to leave the doorways.
Soon, as he approached the source of the sound some distance, the images from the flying props showed the targets: a group of men and women behind the thick wall in front of them.
"Really******...... Trouble......"
Doug muttered as he watched the images of the flying props coming from over and over again. In this situation, it is easy to kill them, but it is much more difficult to talk to them, and for the sake of the safety of the plan, it is impossible not to ask clearly. Although according to his understanding, the guys born with the golden spoon in it are not devout believers, but their families are basically closely related to a certain temple, and they have been blessed by the chief priests of the major temples early in their childhood, and they may have carried out a formal oath ceremony, and for the same reason, he does not dare to risk using magic on these guys.
After careful planning for a long time, Doug sighed a little regretfully, still unable to find a way to check these guys all over again without causing confusion. Even if he wanted to, he would have taken off as a worm and mixed into the crazy crowd, and it would be a headache to 'convince' them to join the guild after getting close to them, and it would be a lot of trouble for him to be yelled at by some arrogant boy.
It seems that I can only ask for help from the little girl.
After a few more moments of planning, Doug finally gave up, ready to let Fifian's new magic solve the problem. It seems that the preparation is still not in place, and now it would be nice to have the kind of medicine that Estelle used, and sprinkle it lightly, and then lie down, and when it is done, throw it again, and everything is back to normal-huh?
Just as Doug was about to call Fifian while painting the light-hearted picture in his mind without regret, his movements suddenly stopped, then he shook his head with a smile, and after making a virtual motion towards his head, he put his fingers on the warehouse around his neck, took out a fine 'soul stone', and held it in his hand-
Syllable!
The next second, he snapped his fingers in a good mood, and when he opened his palm again, there was already an elaborate device - the main body was a slender and soft microtube, one end was slightly harder, and the one in the shape of a sharp cone should be a nozzle, and the other end was a closed, slightly inflated spherical soft sac, in which something like ground crystal powder was stored.
"If Winnie saw this, she would scream in surprise......
He looked at the small device in his hand with satisfaction, and after fiddling with it twice, he easily figured out how to use it, and held it lightly and skillfully in his hand, and if he didn't look closely, he wouldn't notice any traces at all: "This is really good!"
After two more familiarizations, he turned his head to look at the wall in front of him, feeling the actions of those on the other end, a grim smile appeared on his face, and the blade of the shadow was raised, and in a flash, a small gap was cut in an instant, and the nozzle was sent in, and he pinched it gently-
I don't know what the recipe is, but it's so effective that Doug silently counted less than twenty times after retracting his arm, and the noise across the wall quickly disappeared like a singer suddenly pinching his throat.
Damn, another oversight!
The sudden silence made Doug's eyelids jump, and he quickly took out a fragment of a soul stone from the warehouse, and the noise in the reception room on the other side of the wall immediately sounded again, and several guards outside the door who originally wanted to knock on the door and go in to see after hearing the noise again, looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders to each other, and shook their heads helplessly to return to their original positions.
No one knew that behind the elaborately carved door, there were strange and quiet human beings lying on the ground, motionless as if they were sleeping, and the noise and laughter that came out of thin air echoed in the air, as if this place had been occupied by an invisible ghost, and the less daring people would be frightened and faint at the sight of such a scene.
Hmmm――
In the next moment, a black spatial crack appeared in the center of the reception room, and Doug's burly body appeared abruptly in the room like a blade piercing paper.
"It's a good effect......"
He looked at the unconscious people all over the ground and smiled in satisfaction. I don't know what the secret medicine of Rino Yawei is equipped with, the effect is quite powerful, most of the victims are still in their previous posture, none of them have abnormal expressions, and it seems that they have lost consciousness without noticing anything.
Very good.
Doug nodded in satisfaction again, and began to search the ground for familiar creatures and judge their faith.
Well, this is the boy of Baron Watmeeren's family, and his round head and belly are his distinguishing marks, although his appearance is a little unsightly, but I heard that he is a very scheming fellow...... No faith, good!
......
Isn't this the young master who is the best at cheating with a servant girl from Viscount Pinepeo, whose special hairstyle is tied up high and then spread out at the top can be recognized from ten streets away...... There is no faith either, which is good!
......
Uh? The heir of the Jurian family actually has faith? And is it still trusted, uh, Rafferezer, the god of cruelty, abuse, and torture? It seems that there is something wrong with their family, is it a spy sent by the Dark Realm?
......
Doug moved quickly through the crowd, identifying the flesh worms and checking their faith. As he had expected, the beliefs of these powerful children were very weak, only a few were believers who had officially taken the oath, and surprisingly, two of them belonged to the dark gods - the previous Julian, and the fiery Steoperae in front of him.
It has to be said that Stera's faith did not surprise him. Even when he was a member of West's retinue, he was confident that she was a follower of Kashmaio, the god of desire, charm, and betrayal, and this suspicion had now finally been confirmed—she was not only a follower of Kashmeo, but she was probably not a low rank.
"The gods of the Dark Lands don't seem to be letting up. Regretfully standing up and leaving, he murmured thoughtfully as he continued to search for his target, but when his gaze inadvertently swept over a young face nearby, he suddenly froze there—
West?
Doug's eyebrows jumped, and the other meat worms he was carrying in his hands were immediately thrown to the ground, and then he unceremoniously used his feet to cover the 'sundries' in front of him with his feet apart, leaned down and looked carefully for a few seconds, and finally determined that the person in front of him was the master he had flattered vigorously before, the nightmare of many poor girls in Xi'an, the heart of the Imperial Speaker Sivol @ Kabech-'s 'Fly of the Royal Capital' West@Kabech.
Moreover, there is no faith.
“...... I didn't expect to cast a net casually and catch such a big fish. ”
Looking at the face that was once extremely familiar, the corners of Doug's mouth curled slightly, and he was in a very happy mood. It is unclear how useful it would be to be able to control West at a time like this, but at least he could ignore Sivor's threat: "Come on, Master West...... I'll get you a good place in the fraternity. ”
He chuckled in a low voice, dragged West's **** body up, and after maliciously slapping it on the thin skin and tender buttocks, he threw it into the meat worms that had been screened and determined to have no faith, and with a flick of his fingers, the divine power of the god of conservation quickly enveloped these noble sons who had no faith, and in the next second, they had collectively disappeared from the living room that was still reverberating with noisy laughter, and moved to a utility room in the corner of the top floor that no one had entered for a long time.
......
......
......
"Hmm......"
With a slight groan, the son of Gardnan, the head of the Wright Empire's judicial office, Teejerion @Gardnan, slowly opened his eyes. He didn't know exactly how much he had drunk at today's party, but the top-notch scarlet wine brewed by Golden Moon must still be buzzing in his head, because he actually thought he was lying in a musty-smelling room with a few fox friends and dogs, while a burly masked man was staring at him with a cold gaze.
What a ridiculous hallucination...... Still, why is it so cold?
Yes!
He reached out and grabbed the floor in a daze, the extremely real cold feeling made him shiver fiercely, and suddenly made him sober up a little, and then realized something, trembling and looking around, his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, and grabbed someone from the side to block in front of him, looking up and staring at the masked man in horror.
"Who are you?"
With the 'bunker', his courage suddenly grew a little, "What do you want to do?"
"My name is Chardo @ Vespa. ”
The man in the shadows spoke in a calm voice, "As for your question, Your Excellency Gardnan, let's talk about it later, if everyone explains it again, I'm afraid I'll get a dry mouth!"
"Hmm......"
At this moment, the 'cover' in little Gardnam's hand suddenly made a faint sound, and after a few movements, he opened his eyes, and interestingly, his reaction after that was almost exactly the same as that of little Gardnan, was to touch the floor first, and then saw Doug, pulled the person next to him to cover himself, and asked in horror, 'Who are you?'
"Hahahaha......"
Doug couldn't help but let out a loud laugh, amused by the lame comedy-like scene, and his depressed mood was slightly relieved, while several of the sleek victims who woke up one after another looked at his smile in horror and tried to squeeze behind the others.
Of course, not everyone is so incompetent: a man with strong strength and high muscles on his body, the commander of the 1st Heavy Infantry Division of the Empire, Tulie @ Papaya's son, Quins @ Papaya, has just quietly picked up a somewhat rusty iron rod under the cover of everyone, and at this time, seeing Doug laughing happily and seems to have lost his guard, he immediately rushed out like a fierce tiger, and the iron rod that was probably a lampstand let out a sharp roar and smashed into Doug's neck!
"Good. ”
Under the stunned gaze of Quins @Papaya and the other nobles, Doug moved his neck casually, reached out and gently took the iron rod from Papaya's hand, and with one hand, he quickly twisted it into a heavy 'ball of thread' with the strength of his fingers: "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Papaya, I think I can save the strength to show my strength...... Now, please go back and stand still, and we'll continue—"
"Don't be foolish, you hidden head!"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded, Doug raised his eyebrows, and when he turned his head to look, he saw West standing pretending to be majestic, his eyes were grim, and his chest was very tall, but it was a pity that he really had no momentum when he was naked, and one hand was still in front of his lower abdomen, probably wanting to cover the point and feeling that the movements were a little indecent, so he put it there so awkwardly: "If you dare to hurt any of us, you will die! We are all the upper nobles of the empire, and if we are enemies, we are equivalent to enemies of the entire empire!" ”
"Oh, dear Speaker, you are so powerful!"
Doug curled the corners of his mouth and showed a malicious smile: "However, since I have deliberately selected you to be the target, of course I will not be unaware of the importance of you-"
He deliberately slowed down his speech, and his voice dragged on very long, and when he heard the ears of his prey, a kind of breathless pressure was formed: "As you said, you are all the elite of the Wright Empire, and you are the future of the Empire, so I naturally dare not be the enemy of the entire Empire......"
Hearing this, the victims collectively breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. 'Don't dare', at least your life is fine.
"Hmph, idiot!"
West probably thought that the masked man was overwhelmed by his own momentum, and couldn't help but show a smug look on his face, his chest was higher, and a well-looking face once again appeared with an arrogant expression: "It's too late to be scared now!
Syllable!
Before he could say the words later, there was a sudden crisp sound in his ears, and then the world around him spun suddenly, accompanied by the strange feeling of half of his face being hot and paralyzed, his body was carried up by a huge force from the head, and he fell into the debris on the side, of course, the ****'s body had zero defense, and his body suddenly became several blues, and several thin blood marks appeared on his arms and thighs, which were painful.
"Ahh
His cries of pain were intertwined with the exclamations of other nobles, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much colder again.
"Take care of your manners, Mr. Cabech...... I'm not done yet!"
Doug withdrew his arm as if nothing had happened, smiled and shook his head at West, who had collapsed to the ground, and looked at the cruel young face that half of it was swollen high, and his heart felt a sense of relief -- I had wanted to do this for a long time, you bastard who didn't know how much trouble you had caused Lao Tzu in the first place! If it weren't for your unscrupulousness, how could I have ended up where I am today? How much suffering Lao Tzu has suffered!
"Where did you just go?...... Oh, by the way, I don't want to be the enemy of the entire empire, so I'm here for another purpose-"
Doug stretched out his hand and showed the victims the shimmering magic crystals in his palms, and the smile on his face slowly became very strange: "-On the contrary, I'm here to be brothers with you!"
"Don't play these meaningless language games, Your Excellency. ”
Quinnes@Papaya, who had regained his composure, spoke at this point. Because of his family tradition, he had been trained in the army for a while, but he was more daring than the other pampered fellows: "Now that we are in the hands of Your Excellency, please ask for ransom or any other request, please feel free to ask, and we will do our best to meet your request - as long as you promise not to hurt us!"
"Ransom? Oh no, no, no, it seems that there is some misunderstanding between us, distinguished gentlemen. Doug waved his hand in disguise. In order not to be suspicious of West, he deliberately pretended to be cynical, and his voice changed: "Of course I won't hurt you—well, let's start at the beginning." ”
He bowed slightly to the descendants of the nobles: "The contemptible Chardo @ Vespa is from a charitable organization 'Brotherhood' composed of brothers and sisters who love each other with a lot of love, and I am here to invite you to join this big family and welcome a better future together—"
He smiled and looked around, but the future nobles were all indifferent to his beautiful lines, and they did not react at all.
"Forget it......"
Looking at the sleek imperial elites, Doug was tired for a while, and suddenly lost his mind to play, and his figure appeared behind Quins @ Papaya in a ghostly instant, and the magic crystal carrying the contract in his hand pierced into the muscles of Queens @ Papaya's arm like an arrow, and in his miserable screams and the panicked screams of the nobles, the bloody contract was automatically released:
"Say, 'I hereby make a sincere oath that from this moment on all my things belong to the great 'Brotherhood,' and I swear to be loyal to the Brotherhood forever, to respect and help every brother and sister who belongs to the 'Brotherhood,' to keep all secrets, and to accept any punishment for any violation.' ’”
Doug's iron arm grabbed him by the neck, leaned over and whispered quickly in his ear, as soon as Papaya hesitated, he felt a tremendous pressure in his throat, and the strong force and suffocating feeling made his courage disappear in an instant, and he immediately struggled to open his mouth, and began to swear as Doug commanded: "I...... I hereby make a sincere vow...... From this moment on, everything about me belongs to the great 'Brotherhood'......"
The gurgling power of faith crept into Doug's body with the staccato oath, causing him to smile with satisfaction and let go of Papaya's neck - these are new types of contracts, and once the host becomes a full-fledged believer, rules are immediately written into their consciousness, and they can no longer attack themselves.
In the next second, his figure flashed next to the round body of Walter Merlen, who was trying to climb out of the ledge, and the magic crystal became the murder weapon again, and the poor future viscount suddenly fell off the ledge with a miserable howl, clutching the bloody half of his ass and crying loudly.
"Say, 'I hereby make a sincere vow that from this moment on all my things belong to the great 'brotherhood.......'"
Doug repeated his old trick, grabbed him by the throat and began to threaten. Perhaps there was already a precedent, but Walter Mellen did not even hesitate on the slightest part of Papaya, and immediately and correctly repeated the vow, and from then on became a special believer who did not know the existence of the Lord God.
"Someone, save us......"
"Guards!
"Is there anyone out there!......"
The 'sacrifice' of Papaya and Watmelen gave the others time to escape, but then they found in despair that the room seemed to have been tampered with, and no matter how much the crying could not be heard, no matter how much they slammed, the thin door remained unmoved......
......
"I hereby make a sincere vow that from this moment on all my things belong to the great 'Brotherhood'......"
When the other victim had finished his oath in despair, Doug slowly stood up and turned to look at the last of his prey, the Speaker's son, West. He didn't deliberately leave West last, but because the Speaker's body was so thin that he never recovered after receiving that big mouth, and he had been lying there all the time.
"Come on. ”
Under the gaze of the others, Doug squatted in front of West with a terrifying arc at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly laughed at the viciousness and anger revealed in his beautiful brown eyes.
"You've always been like this, Master West, always...... I'll never learn to judge the situation. ”
He shook his head and muttered to himself in a low voice, and without waiting for the resentful West to react, he stretched out his hand and pressed the magic crystal against the other party's forehead: "Swear - or be thrown from the bell tower, choose for yourself!"
By the end, the voice had become as cold as an ice pick, West shivered fiercely, staring at Doug's vicious gaze gradually began to flicker, and after more than ten seconds, he finally took the initiative to avoid Doug's sight, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gritted his teeth and began to swear: "I hereby make a sincere oath, from this moment on, ......"
"Look, it's not that hard at all, is it?"
Feeling the last power of faith coming in, Doug smiled at West without a smile, so bluffing that he almost fell backwards: "I really hope you can understand this sooner......****** ”
Muttering and cursing, he once again took out a fragment of a Soul Stone and held it in his hand, "Get ready to get back to your normal life, gentlemen...... You don't have to do anything extra, just be generous with your help when a brother needs your help...... Goodbye, gentlemen!"
