Sauron is twenty-five years old, at the height of his spirits. He is the grandson of Jayne Brandt, the head of the Parkland chaebol family, and he is valued by Jayne and holds the core of the family. At the same time, Sauron is also a powerful ability, with the ability to master the third-order fire element, and has a power that people dare not underestimate.

Among the five known domains today, apart from the theoretical rule realm, the remaining four domains are the most destructive in the elemental domain. Among the various elemental abilities, the fire element and the thunder element are the most powerful. Therefore, he has the ability to master the fire element, which makes Sauron, who never carries any weapons on his body, enough to be called a humanoid mobile weapon.

If Sauron were at full strength, he could even destroy a small military base.

But all of this was far less terrifying than the dark red leather robes on Sauron's body. Because this robe represents the "Scarlet Knight", the core force of the Dark Council, and the two-wheel black bauhinia pattern on the cuffs represents the rank of captain.

Being able to become a captain officer in the Scarlet Knights military system at a grade less than thirty years old was enough for Sauron to be proud of. After all, in this organization where force is respected, the last thing that is lacking is a powerful fierce man or monster. Sauron stands out as one of the shining stars of the Parkland chaebol, and has been designated as the next ruler within the family.

The illustrious background and strong force made this young man with short red hair have a sense of arrogance.

Recently, the Parkland chaebol received reports that the marginal base Z7 was almost paralyzed, and the former head of the base, Old Jack, and a large number of base members were slaughtered. The Z7 is a marginal base and has not been taken seriously by Parkland. But after all, it belongs to the property in the name of the Parkland chaebol, and if such a thing happens, whether the perpetrator is an individual or an organization, it is equivalent to provoking the Parkland chaebol.

Naturally, this kind of thing is not allowed, but as a rule, the family will send a middle-level cadre to investigate. At most, they will send members of the family to participate in this matter. In any case, it is impossible to drive a backup successor like Sauron. However, when Sauron saw a video from the surveillance footage of the Z7 base, the arrogant young man became more cautious than ever.

The video shows Zero and Hans fighting in the tavern, and Sauron clearly sees Hans's normal humanoid posture when he storms the emergency passage. But when he chased after Zero and broke out of the door, he had already turned into a monster.

This isn't an anomaly infected with a virus, it's more likely a mutant ability. However, when the video screen expands, Hans's eyes make Sauron rule out the possibility of mutant abilities.

The eyes with pitch-black pupils, eyewheels made of countless bright red rings, and gray dots the size of a grain of rice in the middle, reminded Sauron of a top-secret file he had seen in the Dark Council.

The Dark Council is the most mysterious and powerful organization on the continent of Middle-earth. Its origins are unverifiable, and even within the Dark Council, it is strictly forbidden to talk about it. As a captain, Sauron only vaguely knew that the council was composed of a group of nobles and scientists who had survived the old era, and after several changes, it gradually became what it is now.

But there's no denying that the Dark Council holds most of the resources of Middle-earth. The Parliamentary Arbitration Panel is the highest administrative body of the organization, and under it there are various systems such as the Academy of Sciences, the Scarlet Knights, the Execution Chamber, and the Military Department. There are four powerful families under the council, and these ancient families have a lot of resources and force in their hands. For example, the Parkland chaebol is already a big company and a big nobleman, but compared with the four giants of the Dark Council, they are not even qualified to carry shoes for others.

It can be said that the Shili of the Dark Council envelops the entire Middle-earth Continent, and it is the true master of this continent.

The amount of information that an organization like this has internally is absolutely staggering. Moreover, many unknown visions and creatures can be found in almost all the information repositories within the organization.

Sauron once saw a kind of existence called "Discord" in the monster files of the information base.

It is the only monster in the Dark Council that cannot be classified and has an unknown danger rating. And one of the characteristics of this monster is the demonic eyes that Sauron saw. At the time, due to Sauron's authority, he was unable to access any further information. Now, when he reported the matter of the Z7 base to the Dark Council, this authority was relatively improved.

On that day, there were materials and videos of the massacre at Base Z7, and all relevant information was forcibly intervened and extracted by the Dark Council. After evaluating the battle video of the tavern by the evaluation experts and referring to the combat power of the existing monsters, and concluding that Hans's combat power was equivalent to that of a third-level dangerous monster, the investigation task of the Z7 base fell to Sauron.

For this reason, information on the "Discord" is also available to Sauron.

The Discord is a monster with great destructive power and irrational behavior. It can be said that this description is not very different from the monster with a danger level of seven or higher, but in the following detailed explanation, the difference between this kind of monster is revealed.

The biggest special thing about this kind of monster is that before they become monsters, they all appear as human beings. However, once certain conditions are triggered, it will become a monster that destroys and even destroys all life in sight. Even with the shili of the Dark Council, so far it is not known how this monster was formed. The appearance of the first Discord dates back to forty years ago, a decade after the Cataclysm.

Scientists in the Dark Council believe that this monster should be the first species to show a genetic mutation in the cataclysm. The earliest genetic mutant species identified by Shijie did not appear until fifteen years after the day of the cataclysm. As for the Anomalous, it quickly appeared in the next five years, thus subverting people's perception of Liliang.

It can be said that the secrets of the Discord will help to break new ground in the field of genetic evolution within the Council. So when the task of investigation fell on Sauron, he was ordered to bring back the blood specimens of the Discord as much as possible!
