While Lu Li was busy settling in, buying a business, learning to drive, and learning Spanish, a group of men in black robes, hoods, and polluted crystals around their necks were holding a mysterious meeting in a historic abbey on the outskirts of London, England, facing the full moon. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

One of the old men, armed with a lockbox, tapped lightly on the table and said in a hoarse voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you are well aware of the recent actions of the Council of Elders in New York. That's right, we've found another thing written on the slate! It's a crystal full of mystical energy!

As soon as the words fell, he stood up and quickly entered the password, and slammed the box open, so that the entire twenty-five monster crystals that shimmered with strange brilliance were all displayed in front of everyone.

"This ...... This is?!"

"No way! It must be fake!"

"As the head of the Cicero family, I ask the Council of Elders to give an explanation!"

"That's right! The Elders owe us an explanation!"

......

Suddenly, more than half of the people present stood up and argued loudly, while others tried to pick up the crystal to distinguish the real from the fake.

Seeing that the scene was becoming more and more chaotic, the old man with the lockbox shouted violently: "Silence! Shut up! It is not your turn to meddle in the affairs of the Presbyterian Council! Now it is Lucy, the secretary of the Presbyterian Church, to explain to you the ins and outs of the matter. ”

Under his reprimand, the crowd, which had been a little commotionous, quickly quieted down and sat down again, but the greedy gaze in his eyes never left those crystal clear crystals.

Lucy, who is only about forty years old and of Nordic descent, does not wear a formal professional dress today, but wears a black robe barefoot, like most people, with a crystal engraved with the Greek letter Π in capital letters around her neck.

I saw that she first touched her chest with one hand and bowed deeply, and then said, "Distinguished elders, as well as the heads of the six major families, good evening.

First of all, I assure you that these crystals are all genuine, not the inferior synthetics that we have found before.

To be precise, with the current technology on Earth, it is simply impossible to create a similar mysterious substance.

According to the results of laboratory tests, they are entities condensed by countless tiny ions, arranged in a special form, very dense, far harder than diamond, almost nothing can wear them out, and they contain a huge amount of unknown energy inside, very similar to the amulets we have passed down from generation to generation. ”

"Wait! You say that these crystals are the same thing as the amulets that our ancestors found in ancient Greek temples? Does that mean that crystals can also give us great power?" interrupted a man in his sixties who stood up.

"I'm sorry, Mr. James, but the slate doesn't tell us how these crystals were used, so it will take a long time to study and try before we can determine what they are used for. Lucy replied unhurriedly.

Another wrinkled old man was obviously not satisfied with this explanation, and asked in a deep voice: "Since you don't know the purpose, you have to tell us the origin, right?" You must know that every family paid a high price for this New York operation, especially the Pedro family, who pried off all the sapphires from the ancient scepter and presented them to the Council of Elders. ”

Lucy hurriedly nodded, "Of course!

As we all know, the Council of Elders began to deploy an intelligence network around the world hundreds of years ago in search of the legendary door to the divine realm, and spent hundreds of millions of dollars a year to maintain its operation, but never brought any useful information, which you have always complained.

But this time, it intercepted a crucial message for us.

That's right, Sotheby's has acquired a mysterious batch of gems from the East, which is intended to be displayed as one of the finale items in the autumn auction to the rich from all over the world.

In order to confirm the authenticity of the news, the Council of Elders sent out the Purges as quickly as possible, and the photos that came back were shocking! They were all real!

Obviously, with our centuries-old tradition, crystals must not be exposed to the world.

As a result, the Council of Elders urgently mobilized all the forces of the United States, even the puppeteer who was lurking, Enoch Castro.

As for the rest, I'm sure you've seen it in the news, he easily dropped the gem from Sotheby's auction house with his great ability, and it didn't attract the attention of the U.S. government at all. ”

"Well done boy from the Castro family! I think he should be given a reward, don't you think?" suggested the old man who was the first to speak.

"Elder Ethan, thank you so much for your favor of Enoch, and I am honored to be his father and head of the Castro family. However, it seems a bit of a cart to discuss this at the moment, and I think it's better to talk about what to do with these crystals first. Alfonso rejected the insidious offer without even thinking about it.

The reason is very simple, the other party suddenly proposed to reward the operatives, it is nothing more than that he doesn't want Enoch's exploits to affect the division of crystals, so he will not be fooled.

Seeing that his small tricks were exposed, the old man named Ethan immediately smiled and shook his head: "Okay, since you insist on this, then let's discuss the ownership of the crystal first." First of all, I suggest that it is best to keep all these crystals in the Council of Elders, and then distribute them to the various families after figuring out their secrets, I wonder what you think?"

"I'm against it!" As soon as he finished speaking, a man in his mid-fifties stood up. "The Elder Council's remit is to coordinate and ensure the survival and continuation of the six major families, not to override the six major families, so you have no right to seize these crystals without permission!"

"Charles is right! the Council of Elders has overstepped its authority!" Alfonso chimed in.

"But as far as I know, you don't have an advanced physics lab to study the use of these crystals, do you? only the Council of Elders has the ability to do that!" Despite the backlash, Ethan was not at all annoyed, and still made his point with a slight expression.

As the Chief Elder, he was also from the Six Great Families, so he knew every family head here very well, and knew very well that if he couldn't find the use of the crystal, then the crystal was just some beautiful stones, and it didn't have any meaning at all.

The family heads were obviously unwilling to give up like this, and after exchanging glances with each other, Alfonso spoke up again: "It is true that we do not have an advanced physics laboratory to conduct research, but this does not mean that the Elders can do whatever they want. I propose that the twenty-five crystals be divided into six parts, with each family in charge of keeping four of them, and leaving one for the Council of Elders to study. (To be continued.) )
