Chapter 296: The Shadow Council

Dawn sat quietly cross-legged at the top of the World Tree, and he found that he seemed to be used to this position. The pen is here www.biquge.info quiet, cold, and empty, as if you can unload all your burdens. The strengthened body was filled with endless vitality, and for some time, he had forgotten the feeling of rest. Before you know it, the sun is fainting in the east, a new day is about to begin, and a new challenge is coming.

Chenxi walked leisurely in his manor, with only Wang Yun by his side. He was waiting for Kevin to visit, and if he could, he didn't want to come into direct conflict with these aristocratic forces. It's just that Dawn didn't know that a large net was slowly covering his head.

"Chenxi, why are you a little uneasy!" Wang Yun asked softly as he accompanied him.

"It's not right, this is Pendragon's territory, I deliberately didn't hide my body after I came back yesterday, so they already knew I was back!" "According to the consistent practice of nobles who are not profitable, they should come to the door in a hurry at this time, but now I don't see a shadow!"

"Maybe something is delayed!" Wang Yun comforted.

"Definitely not, establishing a connection with the ancient gods is the main concern of these aristocratic families at the moment. And I was their only choice, and now it seems that something is wrong!" Dawn looked up at the rising sun, and had some bad thoughts in her heart.

"You mean, they contacted the ancient gods themselves?" Wang Yun asked cautiously.

"Maybe it's worse, the only thing that has been awakened now is the Sea God Temple, and they are the only ones who can take the initiative to contact the human nobles. If it's just a cooperation, Kevin won't show up for a long time, I'm afraid that all the things I did in the Isle of Man have been exposed!"

"Will they retaliate?"

"Whether it's Manannan or Cúchulainn, neither of them is a forgiving character. And when I left this time, the fountain of youth exploded, which is tantamount to forming an undying hatred with them. Chenxi smiled bitterly, he really didn't expect the other party to react so quickly, "The end judgment of the Holy See is imminent, and these ancient gods will never dare to show up in Mishima with a swagger." However, this group of nobles will definitely be scrambling to show their value, and we will have a lot of trouble next!"

"If it really doesn't work, we'll leave, and fighting on their home turf will be very bad for us!" Wang Yun persuaded with a worried face.

"Leave, why leave, the current Babel Manor is not a small character to be bullied. If you want to attack a world tree guarded by elves, even Pendragon will have to pay a sufficient price. Moreover, we are not without allies!" Chenxi let out a long sigh, "But our shortcomings are indeed too obvious, we are like blind people here, it is time to find a way to establish a system of information transmission!"

"Allies?" asked Wang Yun suspiciously.

"Wait, if all goes well, our allies will be here soon!" Dawn smiled incomprehensibly, and then walked towards the apothecary room in the manor, where Kurolo boiled potions.

At this time, in the British Isles, with the frequent transfer of personnel from various hidden aristocratic territories, a tense atmosphere before the war slowly formed. In the mountains of northern Scotland, Hansel follows Locke into a ruined medieval castle. In the hall of the castle, seven men in hooded cloaks were solemnly waiting for Locke's arrival. The Gothic architectural style renders the atmosphere of ancient horror here, and a thin figure in the middle of the seven people walked up to Locke tremblingly, and took off his hood with some excitement. An old and decaying face like a skeleton was revealed, and Hansel couldn't help frowning, he felt a smell of death.

"Honorable Preacher, Girard of the Shadow Council welcomes you!" the old man bent down with some difficulty, a very old mage etiquette, and the old man was solemn enough.

Locke casually handed out a bottle of green potion, and in the small crystal bottle, a stream of rich vitality continued to fluctuate. The old man of the skeleton took the bottle of medicine very excitedly, and after unscrewing it tremblingly, he couldn't wait to pour it into his mouth, and then Girard's entire body quickly rejuvenated, and layers of old skin cracked and fell like a snake, and a strong and handsome young man in the prime of life appeared in front of everyone.

The hall was as solemn as ever, but Hansel heard the sound of forced inhalation around him, and it was obvious that Locke's potion had touched them enough. Hansel shook his head, the effect of this potion was not as dazzling as it seemed. Flesh and blood can't withstand the ravages of time, Giral's body has long been inactive, and the old druid's approach is only to temporarily replenish some vitality to the other party, if there is no continuous replenishment of external forces, these vitality will slowly fade away. Although this method seems to be legible, it already has some necromancy similar to vampires.

"Thank you for your kindness, in this damn age of the end of the law, the speed of life force is passing faster and faster!" said Giral, with some complaints.

"It's okay, the time of war is coming, and you'll have endless resources!" Locke teased with a smile.

Girard had a look of excitement on his face, and there was a hint of frenzy in his eyes, which made Hansel feel a little uncomfortable. After a while, the two were placed in a lavishly decorated room, completely different from the humble appearance outside.

"What kind of force is this? I've never heard the name of the Shadow Council!" asked Hansel, a little displeased, disgusted by the death-like environment.

"The Shadow Council, this is a bunch of jackals who will do anything for profit. Each and every one of my congregations is my child, and it would be unwise to be exposed to the Holy See in those dark ages of all heresy. These outlaws have helped me a lot. These are crazy people whose humanity has long since fallen, and they are willing to pay any price for immortality. Locke said indifferently, "But this group of people is very efficient, as long as you are willing to pay the price, this group of people can do almost anything dirty for you!"

Han Seller nodded when he heard this, there are dark corners where there is light. This organization must be a microcosm of the dark side of the cultivation world. "Do you need to buy something from them?"

"Well, a lot of things, news, war props, etc. I've got a big deal with me, so we'll have to wait a while, Girard can't call the shots!" said Locke, who was clearly a regular visitor to the Shadow Council.
