Sine looked at the two boxes on the table, each with a combination lock. If the wrong code is pressed, the ignition will be activated, and the entire box will blow up to ashes along with his house. Both boxes were delivered this morning, one from Sauron and the other from Pope Paul. After the waiter who delivered the box left the code, he left without revealing any information.

Hesitating which one to open first, Signe sat in silence in his chair and looked at them. Zuihou took a deep breath and took Zoro's box first, pressing the code to unlock it. When the box was opened, a cold air emanated from it, as if it was keeping something warm. In fact, there was only one injection lying in the box. In the syringe, a black-red liquid reflected in Sine's eyes, it looked like blood, but in the vessel it still wriggled from time to time, like some kind of living thing.

The horror was an active liquid, and the cold air in the box was set up to limit the activity. Next to the injection, there was a small note, not much text on it, but it made Sine's breathing become rapid.

His eyes widened and he was shocked, "There is such a thing?"

It is clearly written in the instructions that this is a tube of advanced elixir, and by injecting the genetic material in it from a vein, it can increase the ability by a whole level. After that, it takes three days of acclimatization, and then the rank is consolidated.

It can improve the Liliang level, especially for those with abilities above the eighth order, this injection can be said to be hard to find. However, now it lies quietly in the box, and the instructions state that when the box is opened, it needs to be injected within three hours, otherwise it will lose its effect.

Sine didn't doubt its capabilities, after all, Leo and Frank had confirmed that Sauron did have the jishu or other methods in his hands that could increase the level of ability. But before the two regimental commanders were about to go on the expedition, Sine had met Leo in private, and the old regimental commander gave him a very bad feeling at that time. Moreover, Leo had implicitly hinted to Signe that if Sauron also offered a chance to rise one day, he hoped that Signe would consider it carefully.

It is not difficult to see that this kind of opportunity is rare, but the conditions are equally harsh, and the effect may not be as good as imagined. This can be seen from Leo's situation at that time, although his aura has become strong, it feels very rough, like a child holding a rocket launcher. And Leo's eyes flashed with pain from time to time, as if a demon was imprisoned in his body, and he had to fight against the demon all the time.

That demon is probably the source of the ability to improve!

It was also the thing in the needle in front of Sine's eyes, the blood-like genetic substance. This involves a lot of problems, such as if Zoro had such a jishu earlier, weishenme would not be used early, so that he would not be defeated in the face of the Poseidon Regiment. And then there is what is the substance in it, with what Sine has seen and heard, I have not heard of the genetic material that can be synthesized to raise a rank level.

There are many questions, but there are no answers to Sine. Inadvertently, he saw another box.

The box that Paul had delivered.

A few days earlier, Paul and Sauron had openly torn their faces at a rally, and the relationship between the two had become tense. During this time, Paul frequently attended meetings, during which time he visited two powerful men, Mendrissa and Joseph. After that, the two powerful families began to put pressure on Sauron, and it was very clear which side they stood on.

The situation in the city of Rome has become very delicate, like a tightrope walker in the sky, and the slightest mistake is a situation where the slightest mistake is shattered.

Internal and external troubles are the most appropriate words to describe the present state of the city of Rome. Now, on the contrary, Sine was envious of Jafidi, and it was not a good thing that this dear friend was able to escape from the whirlpool of strife in the city of Rome.

When Paul's box was opened, there was a small chip inside. Sine frowned, took a tablet Zhi Brain, inserted the chip into the groove of Zhi Brain, and soon Zhi Brain read and took out a file. When I open the file, it's a video. The video is dark red and appears to have been shot in night vision mode. The location is a palace somewhere, but as the camera moves, Signe soon discovers that this is the interior of the Papal Chamber.

Eventually, the scene arrives in front of Sauron's palace. Then he went around to the window on the side wall on the other side, and someone opened the window and followed the camera, but it was the person who had already sneaked into the palace. In night vision mode, Sine can see that Sauron's palace is empty and clean, all movable facilities have been cleared, and the entire palace seems to be abandoned.

From time to time, something like a mist floats by. Naturally, there will be no fog in the palace, so what are these things.

At this time, the camera suddenly shook violently, followed by a rapid gasp. The sound was somewhat like a leaky bellows, and Sine's face changed when he heard it. He could have believed that the person who shot the scene must have been pierced in the throat by a sharp object, which is why it made this sound. Eventually, the camera fell to the ground, and the frame spun twice before freezing on a terrified face.

The man clutched his throat, but blood kept pouring from between his fingers. He twitched from time to time, and the sparkle in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he was sliding into the abyss of death. Signe thought the picture was about to end, but one foot enlarged in the frame and picked up the camera. The screen flips and the angle changes to bottom-up. So in the picture, a man with long silver hair appeared.

He glanced faintly in the direction of the camera, smiled slightly, and stepped on it with his foot.

The video is gone.

Sine sat motionless in his chair.

In Sauron's palace, there was a strange man hidden. Who is he?

At this point, the picture lights up again, and Paul appears in the camera. He faced Sine as if he was on a video call and said, "I believe that when Captain Sine saw this, he was as full of questions as I did about the man in the video." Who is he?weishenme will be in Sauron's palace? When did he exist? It's scary to think about, but under our noses, Sauron hides a terrible person. ”

"That's right, terrible people. Paul emphasized, "The person who shot the whole video just now is one of my seventh-order subordinates. It can be said that he is a rare talent, but I believe that the head of the regiment also saw it, and he didn't even know how he died in the hands of that silver-haired man. ”

"Weishenme I'll let people sneak into Sauron's palace?The reason is simple, because of Lambonis!"

"The former Bloody Knight never came out after entering Sauron's palace. Although Sauron later announced that the old knight had left Rome, I secretly checked and found that Lambonis did not return at all. And his family submitted an investigation to the Papal Hall many times, and they were all intercepted. Even...... Not long ago, a fire broke out in Lambonis's mansion, and all his loved ones, including his three sons, had already been buried. ”

"But ......," said Paul, with a grim face, "I have had the bodies examined, and they all show that these men were killed before the fire broke out." This is a dirty murder, Chief Sine! Righteousness as you are, don't you want to find out?"

The video doesn't really end until here, except for Paul's words that still echo in Sine's mind.

The disappearance of Lambonis and his old men was also heard of by Sine. It's just that he was busy dealing with the threat of the Poseidon Regiment at the time, and he didn't have time to learn about it. And then a lot of things happened, and if Paul hadn't mentioned it now, Sine would have forgotten about it.

He believed that Paul did not deliberately fabricate these things in order to fight Sauron, even if the picture in Sauron's palace could be fabricated, but the fire in the Lambonis Mansion would have been known with a little investigation, and he could not have fabricated it at all.

On top of that, Lamboniszuihou appeared in the Pope's Hall, and Sauron invited him to the palace in front of many people. After that, no one saw the Bloody Knight come out again.

Judging from the situation when Lambonis threatened Sauron, it is probably because he annoyed Sauron, so he killed Lambonis by the hand of the silver-haired man. Although the Bloody Knight is old, he is also an eighth-order powerhouse, but he was killed without even making a movement, obviously this silver-haired man is not simple.

So......

Sine looked at the tube of genetic potion again, wondering if there was some kind of relationship between the two. But in any case, once it is confirmed that Sauron killed Lambonis with the help of the silver-haired man, the news will be like a bombshell, blowing up the already chaotic city of Rome even more chaotic. By doing so, Sauron has touched the bottom line of many people, including Sine.

The fact that a wealthy family like Mendrissa could turn a blind eye to Sauron's murder of Paul IV fifteen years ago does not mean that they could tolerate Sauron using outsiders to kill his colleagues back then, which is a decisive difference in nature.

Sine looked at the two boxes, and Zuihou closed them again and placed them in a safe. He closed his eyes and pondered what to do next. The commander of the Fourth Army sat like this, from day to evening, like a statue, and finally moved.

In the evening, two cars stopped in the square of the Papal Hall, and a dozen people walked out of the cars. They were all lieutenants in the various branches of the Order, or colonels with good abilities, and they were all gathered under Sauron's orders. They have one thing in common, that is, they are all Seventh Order.

A group of Sauron's guards, soldiers of the Silver Hand, led by Wisel, were waiting for them at the gate. In fact, when Zoro revealed that he could raise a seventh-order powerhouse to an eighth-order, he asked Wisell if he was interested. The captain of the guard didn't know what was in the palace, but following Sauron, he vaguely guessed that there was something terrible in it.

Rising up the rank is naturally a tempting thing, but after Leo and Frank have risen to the ranks, Wessel dispelled this idea. He politely rejected Sauron's inquiry, and it was rare that Sauron did not embarrass him.

Looking at these officers with the same strength as him, Wessel sighed in his heart. By the time these people leave the Papal Hall and rush to the front, they will probably no longer be themselves.

He coughed dryly and said, "Everyone, the journey has been hard. But Lord Sauron has been waiting for a long time, and I invite you to come with me. ”

With a gesture, the soldiers of the Silver Hand dispersed the clouds, splitting into two sides to form a passage, while also surrounding all the officers to prevent them from escaping. Wisel walked ahead and led the dozen officers toward the Papal Chamber. After the officers had followed, the formation of the Silver Hand closed and followed.

At this time, there was a commotion near the square. A soldier turned back and saw in the distance several civilians who appeared to be fighting, scuffling together. The soldier frowned, the area near the Papal Hall was not allowed to be approached by civilians, and the soldier left the team and ran over.

Several civilians saw him running and hurriedly fled. The soldier snorted coldly and chased after him. Soon the two sides ran into a small alley in a nearby neighborhood, followed by a muffled noise from inside. It wasn't long before Sine, dressed in the uniform of the Silver Hand, stepped out, and he lowered his helmet to cover most of his face. As for the soldier, he was put in a barrel and carried out of the city.

Signe quickly ran back to the Papal Chamber, but fortunately Withssel and the others seemed to be waiting outside the chamber. Sine walked up quietly and stood behind the Silver Hand. Soon, the doors of the chamber opened, and several important figures of the city of Rome, such as Pope Paul, Mendrissa, and Joseph the Elder, rushed out. As he passed through Sine, Paul glanced at him, intentionally or not, but turned around and left without saying a word.

Only then did Wessel lead the group into the conference hall.

Sauron was alone in the hall, and he looked at the officers below and said loudly, "Welcome, warriors of my Order. In this time of crisis, you have answered the call to stand up. I'm so proud of you!"

A stout man took a step forward, raised his fist and said, "Lord Zoro, it is the responsibility of our knights to defend the continent. Order, and we'll beat those hillbillies from the south back to Roaring Bay!"

Dahan's words were echoed by many of his colleagues, but a few remained silent. The performance of the Poseidon Regiment is obvious to all, and the huge gap in high-level combat power cannot be made up by will and determination alone. In fact, these people didn't think that Sauron had summoned them, so they were sure that they would drive the Poseidon back to sea.

Zoro stretched out his hand and said, "Your courage deserves to be commended, but we can't despise our opponents either. God says that arrogance is also original sin. We can beat our opponents by facing them squarely. Now, the biggest problem facing us is the gap in high-level combat power between the two sides. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the number of high-level people on the other side is too much. It would be very difficult for our regimental commanders alone, so we called all of you who were in the second place in the other armies. ”

"My brave warriors, now, I need you to contribute your liliang!"

An older officer stepped forward and said, "Lord Sauron, of course we are willing to serve you. But you should also see that all of us are only at the level of the seventh order. I'm afraid there is still a certain gap from the opponent's high-level combat power. ”

"That's right. Zoro smiled slightly, opened his arms and said, "Now, I will open the door to the high level for you. You will find that the gap between a level is not as far away as you think. In a few days, you will also become the Eighth Order. ”

"This ...... How is this possible?" wondered the officer.

"How could it be. ”

A cold voice rang out, and Ron, the commander of the Eighth Army, walked in through the side door. He looked at the officer and said, "Naba, it's been a long time. ”

"Captain Ron. The officer named Nabas bowed his head respectfully.

Ron nodded and walked over to Sauron's side. Under the latter's eyes, Ron stepped forward and said, "Everyone. I think you also know that I, who replaced Mamiro's traitor, became the leader of the regiment, and not long ago, I was only at the level of the seventh order like you. But now, look at ......."

"It's ...... Eighth Order Liliang!" Ron began to release his liliang, and his energy level continued to increase, and soon he crossed the level of the seventh order and entered the level of the eighth order. His body was emitted with black-purple light, and the jets of energy that were scattered from his body even grazed the ground, scraping the fluffy stone powder.

At the back of the hall, Signe's pupils narrowed slightly. He could see that Ron had indeed advanced to the eighth order. In this way, the Rank Advancement Elixir really worked. It's just that Ron's current aura is more unstable than that of Leo at the beginning, and there is a suspicion that he can't restrain Liliang, and if the rough use of skills can't be put on the table at all. Sine asked himself that he could easily defeat such an Eighth Order, but it was undeniable that Zoro had indeed shown that he had the means to improve Liliang.

Sure enough, after seeing Ron's display, the officers below all showed fanatical expressions. Who doesn't like to make a breakthrough by himself, the difference between the seventh and eighth orders is not a level, but a whole level. Only by stepping into the eighth order can you barely touch the edge of a high-level powerhouse. It seems like the difference between the first order, but many people hover below the eighth order all their lives.

Now seeing that Ron, who was only a seventh-order before, has now become a high-rank, how can there be any reason not to be impressed? Zoro saw it in his eyes, knowing that the effect had been achieved, and gave Ron a look. Ron just restrained Liliang, but looking at his appearance, restraining Liliang was much more difficult than simply releasing it, but fortunately, the officers below were all excited, and no one noticed Ron's roughness in energy control.

Zoro clapped his hands and said, "Okay guys, Captain Ron's Liliang has already explained everything. Now, it is time to welcome your new life. Come with me. ”

So the group left the hall and walked along the corridors of the Pope's Hall, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the palace of Sauron. Zoro pushed open the door and said to the officers, "Go inside, in this you will get a new Liliang." ”

The officer named Nabha hesitated and said, "Lord Zoro, isn't this your palace?"

"Yes, but now it's a laboratory. In order to prevent the leakage of confidentiality. Sauron pretended to be mysterious.

"Naba, you're thinking too much, are you still going to lie to us?" the stout man smiled and walked into the palace first.

After that, the others followed in, and Nabha walked in Zuihou. When he entered, the door was shut.

Outside, the smile on Sauron's face faded, and he turned back to Wisel, "Stand down, just keep me around." Besides, no matter what you hear, you have to pretend you didn't hear me!"
