It is an unknown mountain, towering into the sky and off the beaten track.

However, on the steep mountain, there are exquisite and ornate walkways and palace-like buildings, which show their noble bearing in the desert.

In one of the palaces, some kind of assembly was taking place in the main hall at the moment, and Dirandal was leading a group of people to bow down and listen to a lecture before an ethereal humanoid apparition.

I saw that the phantom was wearing the same black robe with a long hood as everyone below, and the position of his face seemed to be obscured by a fog, and he could not even see the outline at all.

"Dilandal, not only did you fail to bring back important materials this time, but you also lost a lot of valuable manpower, do you have anything to say for yourself as punishment for your incompetence?"

Dilandar replied without raising his head: "Back to the words of the Lord, the subordinates who have missed the plan of the organization are already very panicked, and they dare not have the slightest luck and justification at this moment, please punish the Lord!"

The figure continued: "Okay, in this case, you don't want to go down the mountain before the end of the year, stay in the base camp and think about it behind closed doors, but the research progress can't be left behind, our plan is already lagging behind, and we can't drag it out any longer!"

"Obey ......"

Dirandal's answer was interrupted by a phantom as soon as he exited: "At the same time, as a punishment, I will not heal your injuries, which also gives you a lesson, don't think that with my gift, your strength can run rampant outside, if you can't make a breakthrough on your own this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to trust you with the task outside!"

"But the Lord ......!" At this time, a crisp female voice sounded in the crowd behind Dirandal, and the inspector looked to find that Juliana and Oliver, who had participated in the attack on Xiao Yi and Vincent outside Nurenfen on the Western Front, were also in the crowd, and the beautiful girl mage opened her mouth to defend her leader, but as soon as she spoke, she was ruthlessly reprimanded by Dirandal:

"Shut up, don't be rude in front of the Lord!"

Then he turned his head and said: "Lord, please forgive the recklessness of the subordinates, the subordinates are willing to be punished without complaint, and they will definitely redouble their efforts during the period of thinking, and the subordinates will never let the lord down!"

"In that case, I'm looking forward to your performance! Recently, the people of your 'Hades' Palace have suffered a lot of losses, so take a good rest for a while, and during this period, the outside tasks will be handed over to the 'Hidden' Palace to carry out...... Adrian, I'll leave it to you!"

"Yes, do as you are told!" replied a man who was also kneeling, but his position was separate from the others, and he looked alone, and when he looked up slightly, it was 'Lille'.

After arranging the order, the 'Venerable Lord' did not stay long, the phantom disappeared in an instant, everyone present got up one after another, Juliana and Oliver quickly rushed to Dirandal's body, and made a gesture to help the leader up, but Dilandal did not stop this seemingly slightly exaggerated action but got up slowly, showing that the impact of the injury on the body was really huge.

"Palace Master!"

The charm and toughness on Juliana's face at this time were completely gone, replaced by genuine worry and concern, of course, this was because her feelings for Dilandar were not entirely as simple as between subordinates and superiors, the majestic figure that picked her up from the raging fire had always been imprinted in the deepest part of her heart, and the care and care she felt from Dilandar during the years spent in this mountain made her feel similar to her father for the man in front of her.

And Oliver's gloomy face on the side also softened in front of the leader, and seeing that the attention of the others was also here, it seemed that Dilandal was still very popular as the leader of this place.

But at this moment, a discordant voice sounded from the side, and Adrian, who had been disguised as 'Lille' before, spoke: "Lord Dirandal, since the Lord has a life, I think it is better to find someone to hand over the task as soon as possible, so that you can settle down and recuperate as soon as possible......

"Shut your foul mouth, hypocritical maggot!" Yuliana immediately changed her face and yelled at Adrian.

On the other hand, Adrian didn't care, and said jokingly: "Don't be so angry! Little woman, this is not what I meant, do you want to disobey the orders of the lord!"

"You still dare to say it! If it weren't for the fact that you recklessly exposed your identity in the palace, the palace master would not have been so seriously injured, and you didn't take responsibility, and now you still have the face to snatch the position of our Hades Palace, it is really shameless!"

"Hey, it's a bit unreasonable for you to say that, first of all, I didn't deliberately expose my identity in the palace, as the head of foreign affairs of the Hidden Palace, a hidden identity that has been in business for many years is very important to me, if it weren't for the request of Lord Dilandar to lure out that kid named Xiao Yi, I would have deliberately exposed my identity when I went crazy. In this way, if it weren't for your mission going wrong, these things wouldn't have happened again, and I would have been implicated, right?

And take a step back, I am the highest decision-maker in the Hidden Palace except for the palace master, and now the palace master is in charge of all the affairs of the palace during his seclusion and cultivation, you are just a deacon, in terms of class, this is regarded as the following crime, aren't you all the people in the Hades like this?"

Adrian spoke to Dirandal as he said the last sentence, and it could be said that it was a conversation between two branch leaders, and Dirandal had to respond.

"Juliana, don't blame the others, we will be punished if we fail in our mission, the Lord has decided to let a more suitable person carry out the mission, this is an undoubted result, understand!"

Juliana bit her lip and was silent for a moment before reluctantly replying, "Yes, my subordinates understand!"

Then Dilandal turned to Adrian and said, "Don't worry if Yuliana is offended, but you have always coveted my Hades Palace's right to act cheaply outside the house, and for the sake of finally getting your wish today, you shouldn't care too much about this little thing, right?"

Adrian smiled noncommittally when he heard this.

"It's just that this task is not easy to perform, you will always be busy in the future, as the former executor, I want to warn you about one thing, don't provoke that kid!"

Adrian naturally understood who Dilandal was referring to, but after hearing this, he smiled frivolously: "It seems that Lord Dilandal is very obsessed, although I am not very in favor of putting personal grievances above the interests of the organization, but you can rest assured, even if there is a fight in the future, I will try to leave his life to you!"

"Hmph, what a stupid thing! I'm not worried that I won't be able to kill the enemy myself, I'm just kindly not wanting you to lose your life!

Believe me, you're definitely no match for him!"

"Oh, then I really want to try to see if your vision is accurate, but if I accidentally kill him, I hope you don't blame me then!"

"Stubborn, that's all I say. Adrian, please go, don't send it!"
