It is said that the secret stronghold in Yao Valley is not large, and compared to other cities, there are fewer people and resources, but the old man there is now sitting in the most honorable position. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

For a long time, even Han Shuo had ignored the existence of this person in Yue Yao Valley, but he knew that he was smiling and guarding the shops all day long, covering the existence of the secret curtain stronghold inside, but he didn't expect that he would be the patriarch of the dark curtain.

The old man saw Han Shuo looking at him with sparkling eyes, nodded at Han Shuo with a smile, and said, "What's the matter, you don't know me anymore?"

"No, I just didn't expect to see the old man here, and I was a little surprised. Han Shuo replied truthfully.

"Brian, this is Teacher Sabocas, the last Fifth Emissary, Yaogu is the place where Teacher Sabocas retired, and that identity is naturally not real. Candida still had that eerie appearance, but when she introduced Han Shuo, she stood up, obviously showing a kind of respect for Sabocas.

On Sabocas's body, Han Shuo couldn't even sense the elemental aura, and his heart was shocked, and he immediately understood that if he wasn't an ordinary person who didn't understand martial arts and magic, he was a real powerhouse who couldn't even see his strength. He was able to sit in such a position, naturally he would not be an ordinary person who didn't understand anything, so how strong Sabocas was, Han Shuo could already imagine.

"I've seen the old man!" Han Shuo saluted respectfully and greeted with a smile.

Nodding, Sabocas raised his left hand, and the space beside Emily distorted, and a white marble chair identical to them fell beside Emily, Sabocas smiled and said to Han Shuo, "Sit down first." ”

Han Shuo thanked him and walked over to the chair and sat down, just leaning against Emily. When Han Shuo sat down, Emily, who was next to Han Shuo, whispered, "Sabocas is Cecilia's grandfather, the Lancelot Empire's Space Holy Magister, and Emma, the dean of your Babylon Demon Martial Academy, was also instructed by him, and the large magic teleportation arrays in various cities of the empire, including all kinds of spatial teleportation arrays here, were all arranged by him. ”

Han Shuo was startled, and couldn't help but look at Sabocas again, only then did he remember what Emily had said to him in the underworld last time. Emily said last time that Cecilia's grandfather was a very powerful character, and she had seen it before, but Han Shuo couldn't think of it after thinking about it for a long time, but now he finally understood it.

Sitting with Sabocas was an old woman with loose skin and a face that seemed to be covered with ravines, she sat there clutching a crystal ball in both hands, and her gray-white eyes were full of loneliness, which seemed a little out of place for anyone here.

When Han Shuo came in, the witch-like old woman didn't pay any attention, as if she was asleep, she sat there silently, but the crystal ball in her hand was still spinning, as if reminding everyone that she was still listening to everyone's speech.

"That's the mysterious old astrologer Grace, I just learned about her existence from my brother, but I don't know what she does, but the mysterious existence of the astrologer is said to be able to see the future, and I don't know if it's true or not. Emily watched Han Shuo look at the old witch and once again opened her mouth to explain to Han Shuo.

Han Shuo sat down and didn't say anything, just nodded slightly to indicate that he heard Emily's introduction, his eyes roamed over Sabocas and the old astrologer Grace who was like a witch, and his heart was full of surprise, one was a holy demon master of the space system, and the other was an incomparably mysterious astrologer.

These two people should be the veterans of the dark curtain, plus the three giants of the dark curtain are gathered here, what is this council talking about in front of him Han Shuo really has some expectations, and he honestly sat there motionless, ready to listen to what they all have to say.

"Brian, I know all the things you do in the Valley of Glory. Hehe, you're a nice lad, you can talk about things here, and since you can sit here, you can also have your opinion on the things you talk about here. Sabocas glanced at Han Shuo with a smile and said to Han Shuo.

Han Shuo thanked him again, but he still sat there honestly and didn't say anything more. Han Shuo looked at the thirteen people here one by one, and understood that the people who could sit here must be the real high-level people in the dark scenes, and he didn't know what it was that could bring these people together, and his heart was full of curiosity.

After a while, Han Shuo gradually understood why these people had gathered together, it turned out that it was also because of the struggle for power between several princes.

When a country is to be re-elected, the country will inevitably face a bloody purge. No matter what the force or the person, it is simply unrealistic to want to completely protect one's life, and even the dark curtain, which has always been neutral, also has to face this extremely headache choice.

For this secret curtain organization that directly serves His Majesty the King, it will also become the dark hand of the new emperor in the future, and after the new emperor is produced, he will definitely choose his most trusted person to take charge of this huge power organization, if the dark curtain is in the wrong position now, the future high-level of the dark curtain will definitely be purged.

After listening for a while, Han Shuo found that they seemed to want to remain neutral, but several princes had clearly sent invitations to the Dark Curtain, and all the three giants of the Dark Curtain had been invited by several princes. At present, all three of them have rejected the invitation of any of the princes, and have shown a posture of neutrality, but the three of them understand that if they do remain neutral, they will exclude the neutral person from their cronies if any prince succeeds to the throne in the future.

The dark curtain has always been the most trusted existence of the emperor, if it does not get the new emperor's cronies, then the high-level inside will definitely be purged, and when the time comes, whether the three giants are the current three people, it is uncertain.

Among the thirteen people, there are also those who tend to choose the most powerful prince, Charles, who believes that Charles is the most qualified to sit on the throne. Of course, there are also one or two people who choose the other two princes, also with their own reasons, but none of them are optimistic about Lawrence, who is an illegitimate child, and no one has mentioned him.

"Brian, I heard that you have a close relationship with Lawrence, what do you think about this?" When the three envoys and the four envoys all expressed their opinions, the two elders and the three giants did not clearly express their opinions, and Cecilia suddenly glanced at Han Shuo and asked.

Han Shuo had been silent, just listening to everyone's conversation, but he didn't expect Cecilia to suddenly ask him a question, and he was a little stunned for a while.

Suddenly, the eyes of the thirteen people in the room all fell on Han Shuo. Recently, Han Shuo, who has been like Zhongtian in the dark curtain and the powerful institutions of the empire, is a bit special with them, Brettel City, as a city in the east, is currently blooming with vitality, and Han Shuo, as the city lord, has enough chips no matter which side he defects to.

Han Shuo was stunned for a moment, then was silent for a moment, then smiled: "I will help Lawrence, as my status as the city lord of Brettel City, it is my principle to repay my kindness, no matter how you are not optimistic about Lawrence, I will support him." ”

"Lawrence, that bastard Lawrence?" Cecilia said disdainfully and shook her head: "Everyone has hope, but this guy has no hope." ”

Han Shuo smiled silently, knowing in his heart that everyone present should not be optimistic about Lawrence, and some of the other envoys were also disdainful, ignoring Han Shuo's attitude, and they all withdrew their gazes at Han Shuo and fell on Cecilia and the other high-level officials.

At this time, the old astrologer Grace and the old woman, the crystal ball in her hand lit up slightly, Grace's cloudy eyes slowly became full of clarity, she suddenly moved her heavy eyelids, staring at the blue crystal ball in her hand, looking at the light of the stars inside.

Sabocas, the Holy Demon Master of the Space Department, suddenly looked solemnly at the old astrologer, and the Candida Triumvirate was also very surprised, looking at the old astrologer Grace who seemed to be asleep when he came in from Han Shuo.

As the starlight of the crystal ball in her hand flickered, the old astrologer Grace's face trembled slightly, and she coughed violently, life will be extinguished at any time like a candle in the wind, the coughing sound is heartbreaking, and finally a mouthful of blood spit on the crystal ball.

The crystal ball she was holding in her hand suddenly shattered, and the old astrologer Grace shook her body, almost slumping from her sitting position, and after a while, her violent coughing gradually stopped, and a pair of eyes were filled with a godless gray and white, as if the old eyes were dizzy and could not see the surroundings clearly.

The three and four messengers in the room just thought it was strange, but the space department holy demon master Sabocas and the triumvirate looked at the old astrologer Grace with shining eyes, as if they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, as if they were waiting for something.

Grace, the old astrologer who had not spoken a word since the beginning of the meeting, looked at Sabocas and the Big Three one by one with cloudy gray eyes, and finally turned his gaze to Han Shuo sitting in the corner. Sabocas and the Big Three were suddenly startled, and their eyes were all focused on Han Shuo.

"Where should we go in the future?" Sabocas glanced at Han Shuo in surprise before turning his head to look at the old astrologer Grace and asking with some caution.

"Sabocas, I'm a little tired. Old astrologer Grace spat out these words tremblingly, and the gaze that looked at Han Shuo had already been retracted, as if it was just a casual glance just now.

Sabocas nodded, glanced at the Candida Triumvirate, and said, "I'll give her a rest first, and you can continue to talk, but don't make a decision for the time being." ”

The triumvirate stood up at the same time and saluted the Holy Magister Sabocas and Grace, sending Sabocas, the elder of the shadows, away.

Sabocas smiled slightly, a ball of light enveloped him and the old astrologer Grace, and the light flashed and the two disappeared without a trace, even Han Shuo couldn't feel a trace of breath on them, and it seemed that he had already left this council.

After Sabocas and the old astrologer Grace left, the triumvirate did not say a word about the future direction of the dark curtain, as if they were waiting for Sabocas and the old astrologer to give guidance. The rest of the time was spent talking about all kinds of major events that had happened in the shadows, and the envoys reported some difficult problems to solve, and explained the strange and harmful situations in their own jurisdiction.

"Brian, what's the situation with Brettel City and the Seven Duchies?" After everyone here had finished reporting, Candida, one of the Big Three, glanced at Han Shuo and asked Han Shuo.

Although Han Shuo was the city lord of Brettel City, he was only a second-ranking envoy here, and he was the one with the lowest status. Hearing this, Han Shuo stood up from his seat and said calmly: "The dark curtain stronghold of Brettel City is developing well, and it is currently centered on Bretl City, and the strongholds are distributed in any of the seven major principalities, and every day it will report the major events that happened to Brettel City through letters. ”

"Very well, the Seven Duchies should indeed be well monitored, they have always been restless. Candida replied.

"My lord, do you know the Strasom of the Valley of Thorns in the Seven Duchies?" Han Shuo thought for a moment and suddenly asked Candida before sitting down.

As soon as these words came out, the eleven people after Sabocas Grace left, all of them did not look good. Candida shook her head helplessly with a gloomy face, and then suddenly looked at Han Shuo in surprise: "You ran into that old monster?"

Shaking his head, Han Shuo said, "No, but I heard that he is the last national teacher of the Verdun Dynasty, it turns out to be the strength of the Sword Saint, the last time the empire entered the Seven Duchies, it is said that the masters on our side were also warned by this person, I don't know if there is really such a thing?"

Nodding helplessly, Candida sighed and said: "This is a shame for the empire, if it weren't for the existence of this old monster, the Seven Duchies would have been taken down long ago." Without a single Holy Demon Master, how can the Seven Duchy be the opponent of our Lancelot Empire, we have not used the Holy Demon Master to fight, and it is not all because of the existence of this old monster. ”

Seeing that Candida actually admitted it, Han Shuo was stunned in his heart, and he kept Stasom firmly in his heart, and secretly wondered if he should be more cautious about the Seven Duchies.
