"The Kamen Brotherhood, at the behest of the Grand Nobles of Borui, uses the underground power of the Kingdom of Duoduo to crack down on traders who specialize in working with the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce, and their next target is the Sarsanid Empire. It's just that the Shadow Warrior Zieg happened to bump into us in Ribbon Town, thus revealing the whereabouts of the Brotherhood. That's how it goes. ”

"There are still many questions about this matter, for example, why did the Borui people deal with the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce? Why did the Duoduo Kingdom sit idly by? The strength shown by the Kamen Brotherhood is by no means an ordinary thief guild, do the Borui Kingdom and the Duoduo Kingdom know about the situation of the Brotherhood? But one thing is for sure, Mercury annihilated Kamen's team, they will definitely be alert, if Kamen does not give up remote towns like Xiangye Town, an underground war between Mercury and Kamen is inevitable!"

After making his final statement, Barol stood in the middle of his study, quietly waiting for the lord to ask questions or make accusations.

The spy should provide detailed information to the master, not one question after another.

The Shadow Warrior was just a pawn of the Brotherhood, with limited knowledge, psychedelic potions undermining his logical abilities, and the information he was torturing was fragmented and not even accurate. Barol didn't get the problem straight, so he hurried back to report, which was a dereliction of duty. However, if the Kamen Brotherhood is involved in the master's secret, dereliction of duty is necessary.

The Wimbledon family has a long history, once married to the High Elves, built a powerful empire, and produced a famous sword master, although they have been shattered, no one knows how many secrets this family hides.

Victor vaguely states that he inherited the legacy of a big man, but never mentions the origin of the elite guards. Barol didn't dare to ask, but he believed that the ancient Wimbledon family was unwilling to decline, and secretly trained the dead to reviverate, and Victor was the heir secretly cultivated by the Wimbledon family. Victor's subsequent layout further confirms the old agent's suspicions.

A young nobleman, hiding in the centaur hills, rules a territory, but focuses on the entire human world, secretly arranges, establishes a smuggling force across the kingdoms, and attracts small lords everywhere, just when the time is ripe, the new empire of the Wimbledon family can rise again.

The thought of being the founder of a new imperial spy organization makes Baror's blood boil, but the Wimbledons don't put their eggs in one basket, and the boss behind the Kamen Brotherhood may be Victor's rival or his helper.

In short, everything is left to the adults, and if you find out a secret that you shouldn't know, it's to find death.

On the desk lay a fragment of a chaleon-changing cloak, a small bag of boiling blood potion powder, and three crests of the Brotherhood of Kamen, and Victor leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was confident.

In Balor's eyes, Victor had a completely inscrutable expression, and he couldn't help but rejoice in his wisdom that he didn't take it upon himself to investigate the secrets of the Brotherhood.

If Victor had understood Barrol's thoughts, he would have squirted him: Have you heard too many bard stories?

However, the truth is even more bizarre than Barol imagined, Victor is also in turmoil when he sees the chameleon cloak, X-3 is running at high speed, trying to sort out the context of the matter, and has no energy to pay attention to Barrol's thoughts.

After pondering for a long time, Victor opened his eyes, got up and walked to the wall at the back of the study, pulled out a whiteboard, and wrote in charcoal: Kingdom of Dord, Kingdom of Borui, Chamber of Commerce of Wimbledon, Brotherhood of Masks.

"It's a jigsaw puzzle. ”

Pointing to the whiteboard, Victor said in a deep voice: "The cause of the matter is the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce, more than a year ago, Marquis Sophia made a pact with the barbarians of Arrett Mountain, she helped a group of barbarian adventurers cross the Jinshui River south on behalf of the human race, and the barbarians would give her a rich reward, open trade, and powerful barbarian followers. ”

"The problem is that the barbarians only know that Sophia is the great nobleman of the human race, but they do not understand that she cannot represent all human forces. The kingdom of Bore, for example, believed that they deserved to be rewarded for helping the barbarians cross the river. Unfortunately, the Borui failed to convince the barbarians, and instead of trying to win over Sophia, they offended her. ”

"Sophia takes the barbarians to visit the Centaur Hills, and she plans to build a port to help the barbarians cross the river. If she succeeds, how will she repay the Borui people?"

"Lady Sophia will take revenge on the Borians by cutting off their trade with Mount Arret. Therefore, the Borui people strike first and order the Kamen Brotherhood to attack the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce and cause it to collapse. ”

Victor nodded and said: "The actions of the Borui people must first be approved by the Kingdom of Duoduo, they will definitely convey benefits to the lords of Duoduo, and if Sophia launches a counterattack, they must also win the support of the lords of Duoduo." The Duoduo had trade in their hands, and they could make offers on both sides, and whoever won or lost would have nothing to gain for them. ”

"No wonder the lords of Dodor are blind to the small actions of the Kamen Brotherhood. Balor said suddenly.

Victor tapped on the board and said, "Do you think the Kamen Brotherhood is a force secretly cultivated by the Borui people?"

"Definitely not. Balor shook his head and said, "The Kamen Brotherhood is powerful and has its own training camp that specializes in training elite mercenaries, killers, and warriors who are loyal to the organization. The Shadow Warrior Ziggy may have surpassed the Trainee Knight, at least Rutha failed to defeat him...... Ziggy confessed that there were 23 Shadow Warriors he knew, and there were 4 Blood Guards under each Shadow Warrior. If the Borui Kingdom knew that the Brotherhood would have such strength, they would never have sent them to the Kingdom of Duoduo!"

"Why do you say that?"

"The agents of the Kingdom of Duoduo are not idiots, and if the Kingdom of Borui wants to keep the secrets of the Shadow Warriors and Blood Guards, they should not be used!"

Victor picked up a bag of boiling blood potion powder and said slowly, "What if the Borui don't need to keep the Shadow Warrior's secret?"

"Your Excellency, you mean... The boiling blood potion is the benefit that the Borui Kingdom has transferred to the Kingdom of Dordor ?"

"It's possible. Victor was silent for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Are you sure that the Shadow Warrior's bloodthirsty power is due to the effect of the Boiling Blood Elixir?"

The old spy shook his head and said, "Badu said that Ziggy might have bloodthirsty powers, and I was also taken aback. Ziggy confessed that the power of bloodlust comes from potions. He had been doused with three bottles of psychedelic potions, and it was impossible for him to lie. However, the psychedelic potion made his brain not clear, and he could only answer simple questions, he said it was a potion, but he didn't say it was a boiling blood potion. I can't be sure, so I can only have someone take a boiling blood potion and see the effect. After reading it, Badu thought it was the power of bloodthirst. ”

"The issue is on hold for the time being. ”

Victor was noncommittal, and asked instead: "There is still a doubt, the routes of large merchant groups are fixed, and Sophia's caravans only trade with the major main cities, and will not go to the remote town of Xiangye at all. Why does the Kamen Brotherhood still have control of the underground forces in Shoba Town?"

"Your Excellency's eyes are like torches!"

Balor flattered him first and said, "It is for this reason that I believe that the Kamen Brotherhood is not completely controlled by the Borui Kingdom, and they want to use the cover of the South Wind Chamber of Commerce to expand the power of the Brotherhood by the way. ”

Victor shook his head and said, "There will always be a moment when the battle between the two major chambers of commerce will be decided, and at that time, how can the Lord of Duoduo tolerate the thieves' union of the Borui Kingdom to continue to rely on his own territory?

"My lord, our two encounters with the Brotherhood of Kamen are no accident!" Barol raised his head and said seriously, "Just like two beasts fighting for territory, they are bound to meet and fight. ”

"No matter what kind of background the Kamen Brothers have, what kind of purpose they have, what kind of means they have? They are doing what Mercury is doing. The difference is that they expand from the main city to the small town, and we influence the main city through the small town. ”

"This underground war is inevitable, and the question now is whether Mercury is going to investigate its opponents or to win the war. ”

Victor frowned, "Is there any difference between the two?"

Fight for the sake of checking, indicating that the boss of the mask has a potential connection with you, and we will be more leisurely when we start. Check for the sake of fighting, which shows that the mask and you are mortal enemies competing for the throne, and we just killed them.

Barol never dared to say this, he could only mutter in his heart, and he said respectfully: "My lord, if you choose the former, the center of gravity of mercury will shift to the Borui Kingdom." You choose the latter, and we'll kill the Masked in every town in the kingdom of Dórd. Let them know that this is our territory!"

Victor pondered for a moment and asked, "Didn't the Shadow Warrior Ziegy confess to the Brotherhood's lair?"

Balor smiled bitterly: "My lord, the Eastern Alliance is in chaos, the name of the place can be changed, the training camp can be moved, I really didn't ask for valuable information." Ziggy only obeys the orders of 'Horseman' in Ascending Rock City. It's obviously a nickname, Ziggy doesn't know 'Horsehair' himself, they rely on badges and secret words to deliver messages and instructions, and Ziggy doesn't even know who the other Shadow Guardians are?"

"Wouldn't the mask be so professional that it would alert Dordor Agents?" asked Victor with a smile.

Balor replied, "I suspect that Kamen has three groups of people, the bright side is an ordinary villain, the dark side is an elite like Ziggy, and there is a group of middlemen. What can't be done on the bright side, the middleman lets the dark side solve it. Most of the thieves in Rock City, or the spies, are ordinary people, and they can tell the difference? It's like an elite guard subduing a villain, and he doesn't need to exert all his strength at all, who knows that he has the strength of a trainee knight?"

"My lord, the Kamen Brotherhood is a formidable adversary, and whether you choose to investigate secretly or go to war, Mercury will need more money and manpower. Barol cautiously offered his opinion.

Victor pondered for a moment and said, "Since it is an opponent with similar strength, it must be unreserved in fighting. The mask will be exposed, and the mercury will also be exposed, and the mask has the cover of the Borui Kingdom, but the mercury has become the main target of the Doduo spies. So, Mercury also needs a backstage boss. ”

Balor's eyes lit up and he asked, "My lord, do you mean ......?"

Victor smiled and said, "Isn't my wife Sophia the best umbrella for mercury? Moreover, she is also very rich! Kamen used the background of the Borui Kingdom to expand his power, and we used the connections and wealth of the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce to spread the smuggling network throughout the Kingdom of Duoduo and the Sassan Empire. ”

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Victor glanced at the spy lightly and said, "You have to remember that mercury is my mercury, and it has nothing to do with my wife!"

"My lord, I owe only allegiance to you!" said Balor, bowing his hand and looking serious.

Victor nodded slightly: "Three days later, I will gather Nelson and them to discuss the follow-up, you go back and prepare well, after the meeting, I will naturally give more support to Mercury." ”

"As you wish, my honorable master. Balor suppressed his ecstasy and bowed to leave.

Victor was the only one left in the study, and he stared at the chameleon-changing cloak for a moment, then turned his gaze to the blood boiling potion, and his eyes flashed, and he raised his hand to knock on the bell on the table.

A spirit monkey militiaman pushed the door open and asked, "My lord, what do you command?" ”

"Logan, take this bag of boiling blood potions, and tell me the effect. ”

"Yes. Logan unsealed the thin leather bag, poured the powder into his mouth without hesitation, mixed it with saliva and swallowed it in his stomach, after ten breaths, his eyes began to redden, his muscles rose high, the green tendons on the back of his hands were like earthworms, and finally his skin became red, which looked very terrifying.

"The strength increases, the sense of hearing and vision becomes sharper, the sense of touch becomes duller, and the control is much lower. The voice of the Spirit Monkey Militia was mixed with heavy breathing, like an angry bull.

Victor commanded, "Hold your scimitar tightly and smash the desk with all your might!"

Logan drew his knife suddenly, and the blue light slashed towards the iron oak desk, and when it fell, a blue-white sword light flashed and disappeared, and in the sonorous sound of weapons colliding, the fine iron scimitar spun and flew into the air, "grabbing" the ground, nailed to the ceiling, and the handle of the knife kept trembling.

Victor returned the sword to the sheath, shook his numb fingers, and said, "Take your knife off and go back to your room to rest." ”

"Yes. Logan jumped slightly, and when he removed the scimitar, his helmet actually hit the ceiling, and he strode out of the room with the scimitar.

Victor shook his head secretly. Logan has been cultivating the secret form for four years, and he is the best among the spirit monkey militia, in the previous sparring, Victor had to pick up his scimitar to change his strength at least 8 times, but just now, he only changed 3 times to achieve his goal.

The secret form of the spirit monkey directly refers to the unity of body and mind, and Logan's control of the body is far beyond ordinary people. Tests have shown that Logan's strength and attack speed have increased by 30% when he takes the Boiling Blood Potion, but he can't perfectly control the surge in power, and he can't even hold the knife steadily. This shows that the boiling blood potion can only improve the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers, while the basic attributes of fierce warriors are too high, and the increase in external force has become a burden.

According to the information provided by Balor, the difference between the Shadow Warrior and the Blood Guardian is the perfect control of the Bloodthirsty Force, and to do so, it must go through years of training. Is it possible for a shadow warrior to master bloodlust by drinking a blood potion every day?

There is only one possibility for the Shadow Warrior Ziggy to assassinate a Barberry Militia head-on, and he does have bloodthirsty powers! The Kamen Brotherhood has a way to create a Bloodthirsty Warrior!

Who is the Brotherhood of Kamene?

Victor picked up the fragment of the chameleon-changing cloak, rubbed it for a moment, got up and walked to the plank, and wrote "Alchemy Tower" directly above the "Brotherhood of Kamen".

There are hundreds of potion formulas mastered by alchemy humans, and among the more than 70 potions that can be achieved so far, only two potions belong to the transcendent class. One is a color-changing dye, and the other is a recovery potion. Because there are still 5 kinds of medicinal materials left, the alchemy auxiliary soldier Butz has not made a finished recovery potion, but the color-changing dye has been actually applied to the Victor Thor's silver armor, and its effect is the same as the color-changing cloak captured by Baror, and the alchemy militia will definitely not look away.

The Kamen Brotherhood has mastered the color-changing dye, which must be a legacy of the Alchemy Empire, so is the boiling blood potion the recipe of the Alchemy Empire?

After the fall of the Alchemy Empire, who inherited her legacy?

Victor thought for a moment, and under the "Alchemy Empire", wrote "Mage Association", and noted "Chosen City-State".

Master Edwin said that Tower Apothecary originated from the Church's Ivory Fort, which collected the knowledge of the Chosen One.

"Glorious Church" was added to the list of "Mage Guild".

The elite soldiers trained by the Kamen Brotherhood are similar to the skeletal characteristics of the Holy Warriors, and there seems to be some connection between the two sides, and there is another possibility, the training method of the Holy Warriors comes from the Chosen City-State, and the behind-the-scenes boss of the Kamen Brotherhood is the successor of the Chosen City-State...... A wizarding organization!

The Glorious Church has ruled the human world for nearly 8,000 years, and the possibility of the Chosen One passing on is very slim. But there is no reason for the Church to secretly manipulate the Brotherhood of Kamen, however, the forces within the Church are also complex, in addition to the Knights of Radiance and the College of Cardinals, there is also an unfathomable presbytery of monastics, as well as the Pope.

The migration of the foresters to the west, the development of the hills by Gambis, and the death of the little baron by the sorcerer's plot are simply paving the way for me, or for the "king". After the Alchemy Tower was revived, Ant-Man invaded the Centaur Hills and caused the Alchemy Tower to grow. The second assassination against the little baron comes from the Throat Slither of the Borui Kingdom, a killer of the Bloody Hand Brotherhood and a member of the Kamen Brotherhood. Now, the Alchemy Militia has bumped into the Kamen Brotherhood again! If the Kamen Brotherhood is behind the inheritance organization of the Chosen One, it is possible that they are secretly guiding all this, so what is their purpose?

Victor hesitated for a moment, and wrote "Devil" on the side of "City-State of the Chosen One", "Lord of Radiance" on the side of "Church of Radiance", and "Victor Wimbledon" under "Brotherhood of Kamen"

The board appears as the Alchemy Empire, the Mage Council, the Chosen One (the Devil), the Church of Radiance (the Lord of Light), the Kamen Brotherhood, and Victor Wimbledon.

The devil has lost to the Lord of Radiance, and they want me to restore the alchemy empire and thus overthrow the Lord of Light?

Victor stood in front of the plank, but it was as if he was caught in an invisible net, unable to struggle, powerless to resist. He closed his eyes, breathed deeply, and when he opened them again, he held out a middle finger toward the plank.

"Fuck you!"
