Cassius sat at the head of the round table, his expression tired, his eyes almost slit, as if he might fall asleep at any moment. Dozens of black-robed alchemists stood beside the round table www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion, all of them staring at the metal box on the round table with burning eyes, and the sunflowers on the metal box were lifelike.

Arnold and Xiu walked briskly into the council chamber, and also saw the metal box on the round table, and a flash of excitement flashed on their faces. Then he walked up to Cassius respectfully and bowed his head: "Lord Lord, you have succeeded. ”

"It's just not a failure. Cassius took out a small wooden box from his arms, then took out two red pills from the box, slowly stuffed them into his mouth and chewed, and after a few seconds, he coughed violently and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and the faces of everyone present changed.

"Wait, Lord Wang, I'll go to the priest. Arnold was about to leave, but Cassius stopped him.

"No, I know my body better than anyone else. Cassius stopped Arnold, and then swept his cloudy eyes at everyone present, the heavy bags under his eyes clearly visible, "Do you know why, ten years ago, I refused to equip Liuyun's team with the Source of Dragon Slayer?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Cologin stood up: "Do you think that Liuyun's team can deal with the Dragon Emperor even if it doesn't rely on the source of the Dragon Slayer?"

Cassius closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, and to this day, recalling everything from ten years ago, he still feels a headache: "This is one of them, none of us expected the Dragon Emperor to have that kind of strength at that time. Second, until now, I still don't think that the power of the Dragon Slayer Source is something that we humans can control. ”

They looked at each other again, but no one spoke. Cassius slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the crowd again, "I know what you're thinking, you don't think there's any power that humans can't control, ......right?" Hey, forget it, I hope everything is okay, guys, do you know what the purpose of this mission is?"

"The first crusade mission in the hall since the Scourge of the Clouds. Xiu replied.

"That's right, you answered very well. Since the Liuyun incident ten years ago, the hall has not issued a crusade mission, because that mission has almost hollowed out the foundation of the hall. And now, ladies and gentlemen!" Cassius took out a piece of parchment and pushed it to the center of the round table, "this crusade is the last strength of the hall. I want to make it clear to you that if they fail like this, we will have nothing to do, but once they are destroyed in the hands of the Source of the Dragon Slayer, I, and you, will all be sinners of history. So, do you dare to sign your name? Approve the 'King Slayer' team to equip the Dragon Slayer Source. ”

The alchemists present looked at each other again, only this time with a look of surprise. They had never considered the problem from this point of view, but as Cassius said, if an alchemy weapon like the Source of the Dragon Slayer had never experienced actual combat, once an accident occurred, it would only be them who had approved the alchemists who had approved the weapons to bear the responsibility.

Arnold did not hesitate for a moment, and took the parchment and signed his name, "Lord of the City, Arnold Adams". Then, Xiuya took it and prepared to sign his name.

"What are you doing, you're just a dragon researcher. Arnold glared at her.

"It's not just that you are a descendant of my father, I am the daughter of the previous city lord and the sister of this city lord. Xiu didn't even look at Arnold, and signed his delicate name "Xiu Adams".

Infected by the two siblings, all the alchemists were on fire. The bald Cologin quickly snatched the parchment, and then looked at Cassius with a serious face: "Lord Lord, you are the most admired in my life-"

"Sign it! Dead bald, why is there so much nonsense!"

"Don't waste time!"

The alchemist standing next to him interrupted him angrily, and Cologin had no choice but to stop his lyricism and sign his name. Then all the alchemists lined up and signed their names on the parchment one by one, and when the parchment returned to Cassius, it was already full of names.

Cassius nodded at the alchemists present with great satisfaction: "I have always believed that as long as the sunflowers can unite, it will be the greatest help to the Thorn Flower. But you're still young—"

Cassius placed the parchment on the candle of the oil lamp, and soon the flammable parchment was ignited. Before the alchemists could react, they were burned to ashes.

"Your Excellency, you're—" Arnold looked at Cassius in bewilderment, and the latter pulled another piece of parchment from his bosom.

"I created the source of the dragon slayer, and if it fails, then let me go to hell with my sins on my back. Cassius whispered, and then he spread out the parchment, with only a few words on it.

"Allow the 'King-Slayer' squad to equip the Source of Dragon Slayer. ”

and a name that had been signed underneath, "Karan Stuart", Cassius smiled, as if he saw the personable old man through this name, and he immediately signed his name under Karan.

Lord Sunflower - Cassius Holmes.

......

"Long time no see, Ian. Xiu stood at the door of the Alder branch in the hall, and the two who rushed over smiled, "And you, Nicole." ”

"We only met yesterday. Nicole pouted.

Ian also said, "I don't feel like I have a few days." ”

Xiu shrugged: "It's just a greeting, okay, then don't say polite words, come with me." ”

Xiu took Ian and Nicole into the branch, and in the hall on the first floor, there was the beautiful receptionist again. When she saw Xiu, she bowed her head and saluted.

"I guessed right, you really have a certain background. Ian muttered, "What, is the lord your father?"

"Although you don't speak very politely, you are half right, the last city lord was my father. Xiu smiled at Ian.

"The last term, then she was so respectful to you. ”

"Because this city lord is my elder brother. ”

“......”

Xiu led Ian and Nicole up to the second floor, and Ian felt that there was nothing strange about this mysterious second floor, except that the ceiling was a little high. Until Xiu led them to a huge wooden door.

"Be mentally prepared for someone inside. Xiu reminded.

"There are people, there are people. Nicole asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with someone?"

Ian didn't speak, he vaguely thought of something. Xiu pushed open the wooden door and walked in, and the two followed, at that moment, dozens of pairs of eyes were focused on the two of them, and Nicole's expression suddenly became strange.
