In the south of the capital, there is a very ordinary manor. The manor is not big, and the decoration is ordinary. It looks no different from ordinary people's homes.
The sun is gradually rising and the scorching heat is gone. The weather is not too hot. A few people are sitting in the yard chatting leisurely. It seems very ordinary, but if you pay attention, you can find that the position where they sit is just right.
The entire yard can be monitored.
Three figures slowly walked in the door, all wearing the same black robes, making it difficult to see their true faces.
It seemed as if they had not seen these three people. The people in the yard did not even glance at them and continued to chat about their own topics.
Straight across the yard, three men in black robes walked into a hall. There were two old men in the hall. Both of them had dim eyesight and wrinkles on their faces. When they saw the men in black robes coming in, the old man looked slightly solemn: "Great Elder
, Master Shadow, you are here, they are already waiting below."
The men in black robes are Spark, the Ninth Elder, and Nilac, and this manor is also the headquarters of the Hand of Dis.
Spark's attitude towards the two old men was very warm and he greeted them several times with a smile. Under the guidance of the old man, the three of them walked into a closed room and groped on the wall for a while.
A complicated wave of magic emitted from the old man's hand, and the middle of the room suddenly cracked open silently, and a bottomless staircase appeared in front of Nilac's eyes.
The stairs were winding and spiraling, with a vertical height of at least a hundred meters. The three of them floated down and soon reached the bottom.
A huge underground hall. There are countless shelves in the hall, and various documents and materials are piled up on the shelves. This is the real core of the Hand of Dis.
In the hall, dozens of staff are busy sorting documents. In front of each of them, there is a vertical pipe that goes straight to the ground. From time to time, some information will be passed down from the pipe.
Apart from these people, Nilac's keen sense also detected that there were at least hundreds of secret auras lurking in the darkness of the hall. Each aura had quite good strength, and some of the auras were so strong that they were even powerful.
It can arouse his vigilance.
Passing through the hall, there is a dark hall with no lights or light. Seven men in black are sitting in it silently. They are the seven elders.
The darkness could not hinder Nilac's vision. His eyes swept across the seven elders, comparing each person's position, and their information slowly emerged in Nilac's mind.
After sitting down in their respective positions, Sparky's eyes suddenly shot out a fascinating black light. Looking around, everyone was shocked under his gaze and said slowly: "Since everyone is here, let's start.
.”
After a period of silence, a woman's voice was the first to speak: "Before we formally discuss the content of the trial, I have a question... Except for the Light Empire and the Orc Empire, the organization's intelligence covers almost the entire continent, but we have no information about Su.
None. Although we believe that the Great Elder will never choose someone from the Light Empire, Su is definitely not an orc. So, please explain the specific origin of Su. It may be difficult for a person with unknown origins to gain everyone's recognition.
"
Her information immediately appeared in Nilac's mind, the Fifth Elder Wiki, in charge of business alliance intelligence, the only woman among the nine elders, thoughtful, ruthless...
Two more elders followed closely, the sixth elder and the seventh elder who were with Wiki.
The fifth elder's words were reasonable, and Spark's eyes swept over the second elder and others: "If you also have reasons for objecting to Su's participation in the Great Elder Trial, you might as well speak out and I will explain them together."
Wei Wei had already stated the reason for her objection, so the second elder would naturally not offend anyone by following her, and smiled slightly: "We naturally trust your vision, great elder. Since you have chosen Su as your heir, we naturally have no need to object."
The second elder, Rigano, is in charge of the intelligence of the Immortal Empire. The Earl of the Empire welcomes everyone with a smile, but is sinister behind his back...
As soon as Rigano's words came out of his mouth, Vicki immediately let out a cold snort. Didn't he mean that she didn't trust the great elder...
Sparky nodded slightly: "Su's origin is very simple. He is the most outstanding talent cultivated by Lord Shadow."
Nilak and the others were well prepared. The Shadow Skeleton's whereabouts were always secretive and could not be found even by the organization's intelligence. Moreover, with his usual prestige, saying that he had trained him personally, even if others had doubts, they would not dare to question it.
The Shadow Skeleton laughed strangely: "I started training Mr. Su twenty years ago. How about it? Does anyone else have any questions about his origins?"
The faces of the people in Wikipedia clearly showed doubts, but no one dared to directly refute the unanimous explanations given by the Great Elder and the Ninth Elder.
Seeing that no one spoke, Spark said: "Then we will officially start discussing the content of the trial."
Rigano's eyes moved slightly, and the third elder Maccaroni beside him immediately understood what he meant and said: "According to the organization's past practice, the content of the Great Elder's trial is selected from some of the organization's most difficult tasks.
, I have chosen three here, you can discuss them, and if there is anything better, you can mention it again..."
The organizational practice naturally refers to the example of the old killer participating in the Great Elder Trial.
"The first one is to assassinate the Hydra King Stuart of Canby Swamp. This task is entrusted by a dwarf kingdom and there is no time limit; the second one is to survive.
The level 10 undead Titan Goret on the plateau, this mission is a business alliance] and the time is not limited; the third one, uh... capture the Ice and Snow Holy Dragon Malaya alive, and must not harm any of her skin. The mission issuer is
Black Dragon King, time is still unlimited..."
Every time a task was mentioned, everyone's expressions changed. After talking about the third task, even the calm Ninth Elder couldn't sit still: "Macaroni, do you want to choose the emperor of the empire, or do you want to rearrange the arrangement?
Top Ten Powerful Men! If you dare to say such nonsense again, I will send you to Stuart first. I will let you try out this mission that no one has accepted for a hundred years."
Although the organization claims to be able to take on any task, and indeed dares to take on any task, for some tasks that are not much easier than climbing to the sky, it will also offer a price that no one can accept. At this time, the client has two choices, one is
If he directly hands over everything the organization needs, the organization will help him complete the task at all costs. However, the price for what he needs is sky-high, and naturally no one can afford it; the second is to set an indefinite task and make a deposit.
Although it is very rare, the client can only wait slowly. Maybe one day a great being will suddenly come to the organization and it is not certain that he will help him complete the task...
Maccaroni was scolded by the Ninth Elder, but he was not angry. Who in the organization had not been scolded by this old guy?
Rigano chuckled: "Don't be angry, Lord Shadow. The task Maccaroni said is too difficult, but he also has good intentions. The heir to the great elder is the most important person in the organization. If there is no tyrannical power, if there is no tenacity
How can you take on this important responsibility with perseverance? Haha, Su, do you think so?"
Nilac smiled slightly but said nothing. Naturally, he would not agree to such an incredible task just for the sake of passion. He cursed in his heart: "Old fox, this Maccaroni can find out the most difficult tasks in the organization.
I must have been instructed by you..."
Seeing that Nilac didn't respond, Rigano was not disappointed. If the successor chosen by Spark would be so excited, he wouldn't have to worry... Taking out a few pieces of information from his arms, Rigano smiled again and said: "I have some here.
There are several tasks that can test both your strength and your perseverance. Take a look at them first and then discuss whether they are suitable or not."
The deadline for assassinating the Archbishop of Light Jimenez is one month. Jimenez will visit the God of War Empire in the near future and requests that he be assassinated during this period. The client should be kept secret.
The assassination of Catherine, the Grand Duchess of Hall, was within three months. Under the protection of Catherine, the Angel of Light attacked Night Sky, causing great damage to the empire. Now she has been banned from the palace by Archduke Hall, and the client is Night Sky.
The deadline for assassinating the leader of the Phantom Thieves Group, "Shadow Demon" Barzani, is six months. The Phantom Thieves Group is the most mysterious and powerful group of thieves in the mainland. The evil name of "Shadow Demon" Barzani is well known to almost all countries.
Everyone is looking for them, but their whereabouts are so secretive that even the organization's intelligence is difficult to grasp their whereabouts. The client is the Clark Merchant Group.
All three tasks have just been sorted out and have not yet been officially taken over by the organization. Rigano is very interested.
The information went around in everyone's hands and returned to Rigano's hands. The smile on the second elder's face remained unchanged and he said harmoniously: "How is it? Do you have any objections to these tasks, or do you have more information?
Good mission choice?”
Maccaroni naturally had no objection to his proposal. The three of them were also satisfied with the difficulty of the task and the limited time. The eighth elder Colucci still had a serious face and said nothing. The fourth elder Gu
Ercuff is waiting for Spark's decision.
Nilac thought carefully for a while, looked at each other with Spark and the Ninth Elder, nodded, and said with a smile: "Elder Rigano is really thoughtful. In this case, I will choose..."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the Necromancer. Nilac paused slightly and said with a smile: "Assassinate Jimenez!"
If one goes by Nilac's original intention, it would be natural to assassinate Catherine. He can take revenge and complete the trial at the same time. It is the best of both worlds... However, his reason tells him that the Business Alliance is other people's territory, and Catherine is even more reclusive.
In the Grand Duke's Palace, Wiki, who is in charge of business alliance intelligence, is an ambitious woman. Not to mention providing him with convenient information, it would be a good thing not to hold him back.
The "Shadow Demon" Barzani of the Phantom Thieves is even more complicated. Not only is his whereabouts difficult to find, but he also has many masters under his command. He himself is a mysterious person that even the organization can't figure out...
In comparison, assassinating the Archbishop of Light Jimenez is the most appropriate and rational choice. The God of War Empire is in charge of the fourth elder Gourcuff. He is one of his own trusted by Spark. With his assistance, even if it is a month
The time is indeed shorter, but Nilac is still somewhat sure that he can successfully complete the task...
No one objected, and Nilac himself made his choice. The task of the Great Elder Trial was officially determined, and Jimenez was assassinated within a month.
If it works, you are the official successor of the Great Elder; if it doesn’t work, you can still be your "Ansu", or you can stay in the God of War Empire permanently...
