There was silence in the study.

Lin Lichuan frowned slightly, digesting the shocking content he heard from Su E's mouth.

The Black Flame Council was actually formed by the losers of the power struggle between the Thousand Houses Business Alliance and the Tania Empire more than twenty years ago, and he never expected this to be the case anyway.

At the same time, Lin Lichuan also vaguely understood why Black Flame Island was being pressured by the two countries.

Sure enough, I heard Su E then said slowly: "In that struggle, whether it is Marco or the Zhou family, their strength has been damaged a lot, and they urgently need to recover, plus we losers still have a lot of strength in our hands, so they didn't kill them all, but as a price, we must leave our respective countries...... In the name of expulsion and exile. ”

"And the place of exile is Black Flame Island, and later Black Flame Island has gradually become a paradise for many wanderers and criminals because of its geographical location, and it has grown rapidly, seeing this, we joined forces to found the Black Flame Council, but Marco and the people of the Zhou family soon knew about it, and the two sides joined forces to secretly put pressure on the Black Flame Council to prevent the emergence of unified forces. ”

Hearing this, Lin Lichuan suddenly understood the current situation of Black Flame Island, as well as where the Black Flame Council's strange attitude towards the management of Black Flame Island came from.

Marco and the Zhou family were obviously worried that the losers of the previous struggle would come back, and if the Black Flame Council took full control of Black Flame Island, then this worry might come true when it would come true, even if the possibility was not high, they couldn't help but be wary.

As for why they didn't take action to clean up the Black Flame Council, it was mostly related to the later conflict between the Thousand Houses Business Alliance and the Tania Empire, the two sides refused to join forces, but they refused to deal with the Black Flame Council alone, so as not to let the opponent gain the benefits of the fisherman, so the current stalemate situation was formed.

However, this stalemate also has a bottom line, if there is a truly unified force on Black Flame Island, whether it is related to the Black Flame Council behind it or not, Marco and the Zhou family, who feel threatened, will undoubtedly immediately abandon their previous suspicions and join forces to eliminate the Black Flame Council at any cost.

Therefore, when Lin Lichuan defeated the other district lords and showed signs of unifying the twelve urban districts of Black Flame Island, the Black Flame Council would stop it.

Strictly speaking, Sue and the others are actually equivalent to being imprisoned on Black Flame Island, and the entire island is their cage.

After a long while, when Lin Lichuan finished digesting these words and raised his head again, Su E continued: "I was sorry for your actions in the previous council, but this is also a last resort. ”

"I understand. Lin Lichuan bowed slightly.

If the Black Flame Island is really unified, the bottom line of Marco and the Zhou family is touched, and the two sides abandon their contradictions and join forces to deal with the Black Flame Council, I think I know that the other party will definitely not let him and the Ling Court go.

"But what does this have to do with the deal you talked about earlier?"

"The deal I want to make with you is to help us defeat Marco and the Zhou family. ”

Lin Lichuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, revealing a look of 'you're joking'.

The reason why the Black Flame Council is in the current situation is not precisely because even the unified Black Flame Island and the Black Flame Council cannot resist Marco and the Zhou family joining forces?

Could it be that by adding him can change an extremely unfavorable situation?

Through the mask, Su E seemed to guess his thoughts, and patiently explained: "Of course I won't ask you to go to a head-on conflict with the Tania Empire and the Zhou family, this is also unrealistic, I just need you to help solve a few key people." ”

"Key person?" Lin Lichuan laughed, "Marco is definitely a key person, but he is the Emperor of the Empire, what is the difference between making a move against him and starting a war against the Tania Empire?"

Unexpectedly, Su E shook his head when he heard this: "It seems that you still don't know, not long after you left the empire, Marco was seriously ill and bedridden, and it is estimated that time is running out, and he will not live long without us doing anything." ”

Lin Lichuan's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Su E, who obviously knew his true identity after hearing this.

But after thinking about it, this is actually not something unexpected, after all, when he first came to Black Flame Island, he had searched everywhere for Lin Zhenyi's whereabouts, and with the energy of the Black Flame Council, it was not difficult to find out his identity with this way.

What shocked him was the news that Marco was seriously ill, and as a result, the struggle for the throne within the empire was likely to heat up.

After a long time, Lin Lichuan came back to his senses, temporarily put aside the idea of the struggle for the throne, and asked instead: "If it's not Marko, then who is the key person you are talking about." ”

"Brockle. Sue replied dryly, "Although we have been expelled from the empire over the years, there are still some connections left in the empire, and as long as Marco and Brockel are gone, we naturally have a way to make the empire no longer exert pressure on Black Flame Island." ”

"What about the Zhou family?"

"In the same way, the only thing that the Zhou family makes me jealous of is the Huiyue Knight in their family, and the rest is not to be feared. ”

"Why did you find me?" Lin Lichuan shrugged, "I don't think I can deal with the Radiant Moon Knight. ”

"As I told you just now, my injuries no longer allow me to fight fiercely again, and the other councilors are no match for the Radiant Moon Knights, and we will never be able to be free with our Black Flame Council alone, so we have been looking for someone who can help us all these years. ”

Su E sighed lightly, and then looked at Lin Lichuan with blazing eyes.

"And you're the right person. ”

Without waiting for Lin Lichuan to reply, he continued with a serious expression, "You are not very old, but you already have an extremely strong strength, even Moreira, who is the peak Morning Star Knight, is not your opponent, in time, you will definitely be able to become a Radiant Moon Knight, and it is not impossible to even step into a higher realm, if it is you, you can definitely help us realize our wishes!"

Lin Lichuan was silent for a while, he didn't expect Su E's evaluation of him to be so high.

"Even if it's as you say, that's in the future, at least for now, I'm no match for the Moon Knight. ”

"It's okay, we've been waiting for more than twenty years, we don't care about waiting for a little longer, besides, if you agree, the Black Flame Council will support you and make your strength increase faster. ”

Lin Lichuan shook his head slightly noncommittally, his strength was improved thanks to the spars and strengthening points, and the popular cultivation methods in this world had little effect on him, even if these words came from the mouth of a Radiant Moon Knight, they were not very attractive to him.

"Your request is too risky for me, and I can't agree to it if it doesn't have the right interests. ”

Lin Lichuan's performance made Su E a little surprised, but he was also a Knight of the Bright Moon, how many days did he want a word of guidance from himself but couldn't get it, but Lin Lichuan didn't care about the guidance he promised, which was really surprising.

There was too much mystery in the young man in front of him, but if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have the strength to kill the Morning Star Knight, a level 25 peak, at such a young age.

Glancing at Lin Lichuan deeply, Su E continued: "The reason why you left the empire is because of the second prince, if you promise to trade, when Brockel is settled, in return, we will help you get rid of the second prince." ”

Su E didn't say anything about the conditions for mediating the conflict, after all, by the time Lin Lichuan was able to kill Brocker, his strength would definitely reach the realm of the Radiant Moon Knight, and at that time, even the second prince would not have the courage to secretly want a Bright Moon Knight, and the crisis would naturally be solved, and he would not need to mediate.

This is the deterrent power of the Knight of the Radiant Moon.

Despite this, being able to promise to get rid of a powerful prince of the empire, Su E's energy is probably even greater than Lin Lichuan imagined, and he thinks that the network resources he left in the empire are definitely more than what he said.

"In addition, we will also take care of you on the Qiming Sect's side. Su E said in a deep voice, "One of the priests of the Qiming Sect, the three priests died at your hands, they will definitely not give up, although you are very powerful, but you can't compete with the Qiming Sect." ”

Lin Lichuan raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of organization is the Qiming Sect?"

"It is a transcendent force that has only gained fame in recent years, its origin, structure and membership are all mysterious, and its actions are equally mysterious and low-key, many smaller forces don't even know about its existence, but the only thing that is certain is that the power of the Qiming Sect is very large, with tentacles all over the southern part of the continent, and there are even Radiant Moon Knights within the organization, and there is more than one. ”

"If you want to confront them head-on, you must at least have the strength level of the Radiant Moon Knight. ”

Lin Lichuan's eyes flashed when he heard this: "In other words, before I am promoted to the Knight of the Radiant Moon, you will help me resist the retaliation from the Qiming Sect?"

Su E smiled faintly and said loudly: "As long as you are still on Black Flame Island, the Qiming Sect will not be able to touch a single cold hair of you." ”

"And what about out of the island?"

Sue coughed.

"Ahem...... Yao Qian, Yao Bing, they will follow you and try their best to protect you. ”

Lin Lichuan shrugged his shoulders, if he really encountered a situation that even he couldn't handle, what use could Yao Qian and Yao Bing have?

Seeming to feel a little embarrassed, Sue added: "In addition, our forces outside the island can also be called upon by you." ”

Lin Lichuan nodded noncommittally, anyway, he didn't plan to leave Black Flame Island until he had enough strength to resist the Radiant Moon Knight.

"In the end, after removing the pressure from the outside world, Black Flame Island, as well as the law enforcement team under the council, are all under your control. Sue offered the last condition, "These are the rewards for the transaction, and if you have any other requests, you can do so." ”

The words fell, and the study suddenly fell silent.

Lin Lichuan leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes flashed, and the whole person fell into deep thought. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
