Florence stared straight at Sherlock.

Sherlock also looked directly at Florence.

The cards have been spread.

Just wait, how Sherlock will make a choice.

Recently, some of the big things in the Delenn Empire have all been manipulated by Florence and his partners.

They obviously violated the principle of 'retreat' of the El organization, and they used the power of the organization to manipulate the Deren Empire from behind the scenes, turning the huge empire into a sharp 'scythe' in their hands to harvest the 'leeks' of the Elephant Land.

Sherlock can imagine.

If Florence and his companions really tasted the sweetness of this plan. So where will their 'scythe' go?

Take control of an empire, let the empire's force become your own tool, and loot for your own interests.

This is fundamentally contrary to the purpose of the El Organization and a betrayal of the principles of the El Organization.

Sherlock himself is the sword-bearer.

Within the El Organization, although the Sword Bearer is only a member of the twenty-second level, according to the division of responsibilities of the El Organization, the Sword Bearer has a special status within the organization.

The internal division of the El organization is the Dark Gate, the Black Iron Gate, the Bronze Gate, the Silver Gate, and the Gold Gate.

The sword-bearer stands on the first step behind the Golden Gate, and the 'King' stands on the highest point behind the Golden Gate.

As a sword bearer -

Stop all prying eyes on the Golden Gate.

Punish all acts of rebellion against the Golden Gate.

The sword bearer can pass through the Golden Gate and slash at all the members of the Silver, Bronze, Black Iron, and Dark Gates below.

And their swords can point even higher at the Golden Gate.

In the history of the El Order, there have been swordsmen who slashed the 'king' and forced him to fall from the throne...... Of the El Order's internal materials, this is not too secretive.

What does Florence admire, love, and value Sherlock?

Perhaps.

But what he attaches more importance to should be Sherlock's identity as a 'sword-bearer'.

To be precise, Florence is like a feudal official of the Delenn Empire, who has countless resources, countless wealth, and countless men, and he can call the wind and rain in his own territory, almost omnipotent.

And Sherlock, in terms of power and seniority, or resources at his disposal, was much less than that of Florence.

However, he is the Inspector of the Imperial Inspectorate!

That's enough...... Supervision officials must be valued and feared by the officials of the frontier.

"Me!" Sherlock slowly spat out a word.

"Open the treasure of the Knights of Tribulation to help you complete the advanced quest smoothly."

"You, who can perfectly cooperate with His Royal Highness George of the Ice Sea Kingdom, can successfully obtain the share of the Ice Sea Kingdom from the huge wealth of the treasure of the Suffering Knights. You can make outstanding contributions to the country from which you came. ”

"I promise, I promise with the surname given to me by my ancestors, that the meritorious deeds you have made this time can make you a ...... of the Ice Sea Kingdom The Duke of Real Power. Even, if you're interested, you can become the heir to the throne of the Ice Sea Kingdom in the top five...... You have royal blood from the Ice Sea Kingdom, don't you? ”

"If you are not satisfied with all this, your grandmother is a marquis of the Seventh Dynasty of Gaul, right? Before she died, what she never forgot was the glory of her family. ”

"Let the Gallic Republic change its state again, to hell with the Gallic Republic, and let us welcome the arrival of the Eighth Dynasty of Gaul...... You will inherit your grandmother's family title and receive the entire Dunkir Peninsula as a fief. ”

Florence held a teacup in one hand and looked at Sherlock intently.

"Of course, if you want to be our man...... We can even change their dynastic system to the 'Electoral' system at the beginning of the re-establishment of the Eighth Dynasty of Gaul, and in a few years, perhaps I will bow to you and say 'Your Majesty'!" ”

The Florentines were generous, without the slightest concealment, and spoke directly to Sherlock about their final conditions.

Any normal person would be stunned by such conditions, right?

According to Florence's promise, Sherlock could even become the 'co-lord' of the Ice Kingdom and the Eighth Dynasty of Gaul, wearing two noble crowns at the same time.

And in the history of the continent of Medland, the only one who has done this feat is a legendary emperor six hundred years ago. He wore two crowns on his head and held two scepters, and under his rule, his country was more powerful than Medland, and even the then pope and pope of the church were bowed down.

"I ......," Sherlock's eyes flickered.

"Times have changed, Sherlock." Florence put down the teacup, and Elaine crept up and refilled the freshly cooked peacock tongue for him and Sherlock.

"Times have changed...... Sherlock. Florence clasped her hands to her chest and looked at Sherlock very seriously: "The El organization must also change a little bit...... This is the consensus of many people, and I am just an executor elected by 'us'. ”

Florence was silent for a while, he lowered his voice and emphasized again: "A lot of people, a lot of ...... A lot...... More than you think, and ...... They stand taller and see farther. ”

Florence looked up at the ceiling of the study.

The corners of Sherlock's eyes twitched violently.

Florence, just one of the executors who was elected?

And...... Behind Florence, there is a higher level of will of the El Organization?

However, Florence is already at the very top of the Golden Gate...... Higher than the Golden Gate is the 'El Gate'.

The members of the Els who stand in the Golden Gate are still 'mortals'.

According to rumors within the El Order, those who have been promoted to the top of the Golden Gate and are lucky enough to step into the El Gate have achieved true 'transcendence'......

It's not the kind of so-called transcendent warrior who has taken a few low-level potions and mastered a little bit of evolutionary power.

Rather, it is truly transcendent from the mundane, and can be called a 'god'...... Or, at the very least, the existence of a 'demigod'.

Their wisdom, their strength, all their everything, are terrible.

In the history of the El Order, the sword-bearer once slashed the 'king'...... But the ultimate they can do is only to kill the 'king', a level twenty-seventh member, and the sword-wielding person knows nothing about those terrifying beings above the twenty-eighth level behind the El Gate, and there is nothing they can do.

Even, do they exist, how many of them are there, what is their identity......

They are like real, gods in the clouds, and mortals have no way of touching them, let alone looking at their glory.

Very practically speaking.

At the moment, Sherlock was less than ten feet away from Florence.

Sherlock is a transcendent sixth-order existence that is serious, a powerful existence that is almost at its peak. And even in the sixth order of the same level, Sherlock's combat power definitely belongs to the most powerful handful.

And Florence?

Using the 'Safe Mode', he has a sixth-order rank without illness or pain, but his actual combat power is probably only equivalent to that of an ordinary extraordinary fifth-order, or even a fourth-order warrior......

Sherlock could completely destroy him with just one stretch of his hand.

From the body to the soul, completely destroyed......

If Sherlock had used his privileges as the 'Sword Wielder' of the El Order, he would have been able to destroy everything that Florence now had in a short period of time.

The estate.

Those youth.

Those handmaidens.

All the hands of Florence.

All the connections he made.

All the wealth he controls.

With all that Florence has now, as long as Sherlock leaves the manor and activates the contingency mechanism belonging to the 'Sword Bearer', Florence will face a terrible trial.

Therefore, Florence, which has begun to subvert the Delenian Empire and wants to control this empire behind the scenes, will be so polite to Sherlock. Florence invited Sherlock to his estate for an 'open', 'equal' and 'peaceful' exchange.

But...... It was easy to destroy Florence.

And the information revealed by Florence made Sherlock ......

"Sherlock, we should be friends." Florence looked at Sherlock with a smile: "Times have changed, and we can pursue something more meaningful." ”

"In the El, you should know how terrible the El is." Sherlock's throat was a little dry, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Are you sure, you can?" ”

Florence frowned, he pursed his lips and thought seriously for a while: "Why not?" In short, it's always right to try...... And, what did we do? Do we have it, do we do it ourselves? ”

Shaking her head, Florence once again showed a calm, confident smile: "Everything is a coincidence, everything is something that is in the middle of it, they are in the ...... for their own interests Crazy. ”

"We didn't actually use the power of a finger."

"We didn't do anything, so we were right."

Sherlock exhaled, and he picked up the teacup again, and drank the peacock tongue from the teacup.

He stood up and nodded to Florence: "Well, I'm curious if I reject your suggestion......"

Florence smiled, "We still have the same relationship as before, we are all Al brothers, aren't we?" ”

Sherlock hesitated: "What if, I want to fulfill the rights and responsibilities of the sword-wielder?" ”

Florence's smile stiffened slightly, and then, his smile revealed a bit of gloomy coldness: "Then, we are enemies...... You will be our enemy...... You, and your wife and children. ”

Sherlock coughed, "My wife and children? ”

Florence said quickly: "Back then, you were a famous diamond bachelor in the Ice Sea Kingdom, but ...... You have twelve lovers, three sons, and seven daughters spread across six countries...... As you said, you should know how terrible El is when you are in Al. ”

Sherlock's face flushed slightly: "Ha...... I love my homeland, and the Delen Empire is clearly not. ”

Florence let out a long breath.

He smiled and nodded: "Of course, the Delen Empire has nothing to do with you. So, you're definitely not going to meddle in whatever is about to happen next in the Delen Empire? ”

Sherlock nodded vigorously, then turned away without saying a word.
