Consolidation meeting space

At this moment, the ten lower seats are all seated, but the main seat is still empty, and the rest of the people are also familiar with it, as if they have become accustomed to the daily life of the empty seats above. Instead, the person at the lower right of the main seat presides over the meeting. Ten positions, each of which is full of elderly people, only the last seat on the bottom left sits a middle-aged person, who doesn't seem to be a person from the nine major families. But in the meeting space of this integration meeting, who is qualified to sit at that square table and make the appearance of a participant.

Therefore, the person sitting in this tenth position is naturally the person who is currently sitting in the executioner position of the Lu family, and he is also the current head of the Lu family, Lu Xuyan.

"Sima Laogou, what are you doing in an emergency meeting? Hurry up, I still have important things to do. ”

The person who spoke was Wang Qizun, the head of the Wang family. He has a somewhat irritable personality, so his words are a little prickly.

"Ahem, be careful at the meeting."

The person who was reminding him on the side was the head of the Chen family, Chen Xusheng. The Chen family and the Wang family are in a sense world friends, and the head of the family and his descendants are relatively close.

was scolded as "Sima Old Dog", it was the head of the Sima family, Sima Chaoyang. Listening to Wang Qizun's words, he still stood up from the chair unhurriedly, and finally spoke:

"The purpose of this meeting is to talk about the matters related to the 'Stone of Opportunity' that has been mentioned before."

Hearing this, the eyes of the other nine people unconsciously gathered in the direction of Sima Chaoyang. In fact, before this, the people of the Nine Great Families basically didn't know about the outside world, let alone the Stone of Opportunity. However, at an end-of-month meeting just a few days ago, Sima Chaoyang suddenly mentioned this thing. Moreover, he also proposed that the Nine Great Families cooperate with the people of the Guild.

For this trajectory to make the infighting of the struggle, the integration will always be strongly opposed. However, when they heard that the Stone of Opportunity had the power to "fulfill all wishes", everyone was dumbfounded. So after compromising with each other, the pros and cons decided to discuss the matter carefully and discuss it with the family members. Therefore, the trajectory of the end of the year makes the family party a good occasion.

"Didn't you say okay, everyone talked at the party? Why is an emergency meeting being held at this time? ”

A somewhat kind voice sounded, he was the head of the Zhang family sitting in the upper position-Zhang Baiming.

"Of course, but there are some emergencies regarding the Opportunity Stone."

Sima Chaoyang sat down naturally, and then waved for someone to come in. Out of the shadows came a middle-aged man with white hair in a white coat.

"Who is this man?"

Chen Xusheng looked at this seemingly not simple character and asked.

"He is Sulde of the Erregang Empire's Guild, and he is also the person responsible for providing us with the Stone of Opportunity."

Sima Chaoyang explained. The man named Suulde stepped forward, stood in the lowest position, looked around, and finally stopped where he was. What he was looking at was Lu Yuyan, who was about the same age as him. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and finally spoke:

"Introduce myself, my family Sourde, Sürd Ouranos Arrudales. Ladies and gentlemen, there is a very serious problem with the Stone of Opportunity. ”

Genxia A dilapidated ruins in the suburbs

The structure is very similar to that of the church, with wooden seats neatly arranged around it, focusing on the center of the building and expanding outward in a radial pattern. Viewed from above, the orderly seats are clustered in the shape of fan blades, and they will converge in the center like a pilgrimage. The central position is very eye-catching, not least because there is a stone statue of an old Taoist priest standing in the middle of the building. Instead, there was a brilliant golden ball of light, which continued to absorb the magic around it, forming a huge blue vortex in the center. Shimmering magical particles are strung together, encircling the ball of light, binding it like a chain.

Directly in front, two men and one woman, three strangers sat in front of the stone statue, their expressions different, and their hearts all had different considerations and plans. But all three of them have the same purpose, all for this war that is about to begin.

"Haven't the hillbillies discussed yet? How long is this going to be delayed! ”

Korot didn't have the heart to sit there for long, he walked back and forth impatiently, and finally yelled angrily, stomping on the wooden chair beside him.

"Click-"

The wooden chair could not withstand Korot's angry blow, and the chair split in two pieces in an instant.

"Be quiet, brother."

Intilus looked away from her laptop, glanced at Kolot, and reminded herself.

"You can't even do the simplest of calming down, so it's no wonder that there's a chasm between you and the top trajectory."

Echeng also seemed to dislike Korot's confusion of thoughts, so he mocked on the side. He rested one arm on the back of another wooden chair, rested his left foot uninhibitedly on his right thigh, and one hand hung casually at the knee, looking very relaxed.

Korot seemed to want to curse back, but before he could say anything, he gritted his teeth and swallowed it. It seems that he still knows how big the gap is between himself and the person in front of him, so he doesn't dare to speak casually. The arrogant Korot had to hold back all the unhappiness in his heart, and with an expression of "you wait for me", he left here violently. It's just a pity for the chair that was stepped on inexplicably.

"It's really unfortunate for you to have such an immature brother."

Echeng withdrew his gaze from Kolot's back, gathered on Intilis, and spoke.

"Brother, he's just too straight, but it's not immature."

As her own sister, Intílius naturally knew Kolot's personality very well, so she explained it like this.

"In a world where the trajectory is made, what is the difference between being immature if you don't learn to control your emotions and calmly analyze your situation. I hate arrogant and arrogant people, who always think they can do anything, but they don't know that there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of the world. They believe too much in their own strength, but in fact they are nothing, just a group of frogs at the bottom of the well. Such people will one day pay the price for their arrogance, and possibly even death. ”

Ai Cheng said meaningfully, and his words seemed to reveal that he had experienced a lot of things and had received countless blows. However, for Intillus, he could not completely agree with this. Maybe she thought Echeng's words were reasonable, but at least, she didn't agree with what he knew about her brother.

“.... Brother... is not going to die .... . Right.. Maybe my brother is a little overconfident. But in fact, he has his own grasp of everything and will not blindly go against others. He has long learned to be wronged, but the arrogance in his bones will never allow him to bow down to others. Once he loses to others, he will first admit the strength of others, but he will never stalk or use some despicable means. He will hide that person as one of his goals, and try his best to try to catch up with him, no matter how big the gap is, no matter whether he succeeds or not, but try to fight hard. This is also why the strength of the elder brother can jump to the forefront of the younger generation of the entire guild. ”

Hearing these words as if they were confessions, Ai Cheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the girl in front of him actually had such a strong trust in her brother. Then he remembered what had happened to him at the training ground, where the man who had fallen to the ground was looking at him with a look of disbelief. Now that I think about it, there is really not much disbelief in that look, but it seems to say: This person is very strong.

"Oh——? prove it to me, change my opinion of him."

Ai Cheng said, and seemed to be interested in the two siblings. Originally, according to his character, he would sneer and sneer. But after all, the three of them are still grasshoppers tied to a rope in the future, and there is no need to put the trust between him and the two of them in danger.

"I will.... Brother, he will. ”

Intilus said firmly, looking confident in Kolot. Ai Cheng looked at this girl who seemed to have suddenly ignited her fighting spirit, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

"It's a brother and sister."

"Now that the goal has been set, it's time for this farcical war to begin."

Suddenly, Ai Cheng stood up, walked up the steps, and stood in front of the statue. Intirus's gaze also moved with Echeng, and finally landed on the ball of light above the magic vortex. At this moment, the dazzling golden light, exuding a thousand rays of light, poured everywhere, carrying its own magic power, converging in all directions of the outside world.

"Finally... Shattered. ”

When Intilus saw that the ball of light began to release magical power, she understood that the foreplay of this war was ready to begin. The next thing to do is to wait for them to fight each other.

"That....?"

Intírus suddenly noticed that the light suddenly dimmed, and finally people could see the source of the glow. It was a small, ordinary-looking ball. After the light disappeared, strange markings like ink spots appeared on the surface of the stone, gradually taking up a large area on it. Finally, the specks turned into an unknown black liquid, which fell on the body of the Taoist stone statue below, and finally slowly infected the entire stone statue.

"The goal of our trip - code words."

Echeng explained simply, and before Intilis could speak again, the former took a step forward with his magic. I saw that the magic power instantly condensed in his hand, and finally covered the surface of his palm, forming a black film like a shadow. He slowly approached the huge stone statue, pressed his hand lightly on it, and whispered:

"One of the necessary conditions—the code words foreshadowed by the shady curtains."

As the words fell, cracks appeared everywhere in the huge stone statue in an instant, which was a precursor to the imminent collapse. However, Ai Cheng, who was standing in front of him, was still unhurried and didn't take this matter to heart.

"Be careful!"

Intíris reminded behind her, but she didn't stop, and immediately launched a magic circuit, ready to release her magic to protect the two.

"There's no need for that."

Ai Cheng's calm voice sounded again, and in the next second, the stone statue instantly collapsed and exploded, but the shattered stone did not splash or collapse in all directions, but was sucked into Ai Cheng's palm. Such a huge stone statue disappeared from the palm of his hand in that instant.

"It's here."

Ai Cheng put down his hand and added. The black magic faded from his hands. Compared to the previous scene, the stone that glowed with golden light above his head had shattered and disappeared, leaving only a small fragment to fall to the ground. Ai Cheng picked up the shard, closed his eyes, and dived into his heart to find the code words that had seeped into his brain. After a long time, he turned around in relief. Ai Cheng slowly walked down the steps and said aloud:

"Overlord Right Auxiliary", "Triple Broken Arrow", "Leopard on the Cliff", "God of War", "Infinite Wandering", "Fist of the Kingdom", "Tyrannical Emperor", "Brahma Maru" [Legendary Trial], "Innocent Lord", "Troy", "Revealed", "Makoto", "Emperor of Pious Words".

This is the code word of the Holy Grail.

"These words .... What does that mean?"

Intilus asked, puzzled, as she tried to type the terms into the computer, but didn't get any useful information. So she had to pin her eyes and hopes on Ai Cheng.

"We won't get an answer for a while, go and call your brother over, we are ready to intervene in the war, and the 'necessary second condition' needs to be met as soon as possible."

Echeng quickly passed by Intillus, as if there was a force behind him pushing him so positively. Maybe he also held back for too long, and finally was able to start acting, so he naturally became happy and positive.

The war has quietly begun, but the authorities have not realized how many interests and disputes are involved in this war. People of all walks of life intervene in this war with different purposes, perhaps not voluntarily or not to fulfill their wishes. But when more and more camps become chaotic, even the branches that have nothing to do with the backbone will indirectly affect the overall situation, and this is war.
