preface
Winter nights are always terrifying! not only because of their coldness, but also because of the unknown contained in their darkness......
However, in the midst of this winter night, in a ruined altar-like place in the wilderness, six black-robed men stood around this altar, all silent. And the most bizarre thing is that on this cold night full of snow, there is not even a single spark here! Combined with the momentum of these six black-robed people, it seems to form a terrifying atmosphere!
No one dares to light a bonfire in a snowy wilderness! Obviously, the realm of these six people is not low!
The six black-robed men seemed to be waiting for something, and no one spoke, and even the sound of breathing could hardly be heard! In the whole snowy night, only the sound of "whirring" and "rustling" of snowflakes falling on the ground......
There was nothing around this place except this altar. And the terrain is extremely flat. Apparently a plain or deep in a prairie area.
The quiet wilderness, the dark snowy night, the black-robed people and the altars, form a unique and eerie scene......
As the minutes and seconds passed, the night became deeper and deeper! The six men in black still stood as before, without any conversation or even movement.
However, just a few hours later, a faint white light suddenly flashed in the center of the ruined altar! This white light that appeared out of thin air was like a morning star lighting up the night sky, so dazzling!
As soon as the six black-clothed people saw this white point of light appear, their bodies and momentum suddenly tightened, and the atmosphere suddenly lost the strange tranquility just now, and suddenly became tense.
With a "swish", the six black-clothed men knelt down in unison, and there was a sense of respect on their bodies.
As the white light gradually grew larger and whiter, a humanoid figure appeared in the center of the altar.
This man is slender and looks like a middle-aged man. However, his body and face were all shrouded in a hazy white light, making it impossible to see his face in the slightest. It was as if the man's entire body was made of white light. It's also like a projection of light.
However, this did not affect the attitude of the six men in black towards him. After a long and silent wait, at this moment, the man in black, who seemed to be the leader, suddenly opened his mouth in a hoarse voice.
"Your Excellency, ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a figure shrouded in white light raising his hand. At this time, the figure also opened its mouth.
"You don't need to know who I am. You only need to understand one thing, and that is who you serve!" But there is a majestic momentum in it, and it is obviously a powerful person who has been in a high position all the year round!
"Yes!"
It was still the man in black who led the way to answer the white light figure's words, and the others still didn't speak. Although the tone of the white light figure was not so polite, it still did not affect the black-clothed people, and their respectful expressions remained the same.
"Although you have been used by me for a long time, I have not looked for you in the past few years. This is the first time this time. So listen carefully to what I have to say!" said the white light figure majestically.
"Understood!"
"Take this list. As he spoke, a magic crystal shot out of the white light. I only heard the white light figure continue: "Inside is your target this time, what you need to do is to find the things I marked in the crystal and give them to me." These things are generally on these target people. If not, look for them among the forces to which they belong. Be sure to bring those things to me!" the white figure commanded.
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
"Try not to show your body. If there is resistance, you can use what you think is right. Attention, it's any means!" the white-light figure emphasized.
At this time, the black-clothed leader, who had immersed his mind in the magic crystal, suddenly exclaimed!
"Ahh......h
"Okay! This list is fine as long as you know it, and it must not be exposed! No matter where it is, it is not allowed to say it! Any difficulties can be raised now. The white light figure first gave a stern admonition, and then his tone softened. Because he knows what forces are in that list!
"Your Excellency, this ...... My eldest brother hasn't come out yet, and it's really difficult to deal with these people with our strength...... Your Excellency......" the black-clothed leader said with some embarrassment.
"You are now focusing on those things that are not owned by the forces, and I have marked the exact time of their appearance. Wait until that guy comes out, and then it's not too late to finish the rest. I'll have our men work with you, too, and in three months' time you'll be assembled in Edinburgh, Astre, where they'll be waiting for you!
Hearing the white light figure say this, the face of the black-clothed leader softened somewhat. But he still had some drumming in his heart. What the hell is going on? The first opponent on the list is actually ......
"The two of you can write down this list, and destroy it directly after reading it. I don't want to see any surprises. The white light figure said in a cold tone.
"Yes. ”
In addition to the black-clothed leader, there was another black-clothed man standing beside him. Obviously, they are very clear about the identities and relationship between the two.
As for the others, they didn't feel any rejection because of the words of the white light figure. Because they know for themselves that their strength has not yet reached the level of complete trust of the other party.
After a while, the two men in black glanced at each other, and after nodding their heads heavily, the leader in black directly pinched the magic crystal in his hand. All this was done under the gaze of the white-light figure.
"Alright, sir. After doing all this, the black-clad leader and the other man in black turned their gaze to the white-light figure.
In the white light, I saw that the man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, at the beginning of the mission, don't try to contact me, I will find you." Remember, you will be in Edinburgh in three months from now. There's not much time, you can go!" After speaking, the white light suddenly trembled violently, and after a while, the white light "swished" and disappeared without a trace. Only six men in black were left looking at each other on the same ground.
"Second Elder, this ...... Who the hell is our enemy??" Just after the white light figure disappeared, one of the men in black couldn't help but ask.
Hearing his subordinates' questions, the black-clothed leader only shook his head lightly and did not tell the details.
"Okay, don't ask more if you don't need to know, be careful of causing death! Since we have already boarded this boat, don't do anything that makes them unhappy! When the eldest brother is out of the customs, everything is up to him, and now let's act honestly." Edinburgh isn't close. Let's go. At this time, the black-clothed man next to the black-clothed leader, who had also seen the list, scolded his subordinates.
In this way, after a brief pause at the dilapidated altar, the six men in black quickly overtook a certain direction. In an instant, it disappeared into the night and snowy night......
However, within minutes of the disappearance of the six men in black, the white light resurfaced in the dilapidated altar. This time, unlike the last time, the figure slowly emerged, and the hazy white light on it had disappeared.
An old man with white hair and kind eyes appeared here with his hands on his back. Judging by his standing posture and physical form, it was clear that he was the one who had given the order to those men in black just now!
In fact, the old man did not leave from the beginning, and the disappearance of the white light and shadow was just an illusion. With his strength, it was very easy to do all this to deceive those people.
Looking at the direction in which the six men in black were leaving, the old man was expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking. He was satisfied with the performance of the black-clad leader just now.
"Hey......"
A low sigh sounded from the old man's mouth, as if regretful, as if heavy, as if regretful......
However, the old man's target was obviously not the six men in black.
Shaking his head slightly, after the old man stayed at the altar for a short time, his figure flashed and disappeared directly out of thin air......
