The Ice Lake is located in the middle line of the two southeastern districts. It is surrounded by a large jungle. There is only a small lake in the middle, which is the Ice Lake. 4∴8065
There is a hill not far from the Ice Lake. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook everything happening by the lake. The distance is neither too far nor too close. It can be said to be an excellent observation point.
When Shen Yi came here, Chen Yuntao and Pandora had not yet appeared. There was no one on the lakeside, except for the slightest mist from the cold lake surface.
These fogs have an extremely cold freezing effect, and once contaminated, the speed will be greatly reduced.
There is a big rock on the top of the mountain. The top of the big rock is as smooth as a mirror, and it looks like a *platform.
Shen Yi stood on the big rock and looked down. The wind blew his clothes and made a rustling sound.
He put his hands behind his back and looked down.
After a while, he said, "Since you are here too, let's watch the fun together. My place is quite spacious."
Not far away, a man appeared from behind a big tree, it was Chen Tao.
He looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile, "I lost."
"What?" Shen Yi was stunned.
Another voice sounded in the distance, "I made a bet with him that you would definitely appear here...I won."
This voice was familiar to Shen Yi. It was the same person who mentioned the colonel when he was talking to Chen Tao.
He was shocked.
A young man came out in the distance. Shen Yi clearly remembered that he had met this man when he challenged Isadore. At that time, he was standing next to Christine.
"A member of the Dane family?" Shen Yi narrowed his eyes.
"My name is Cliff, the third heir to the Dane family. Nice to meet you, Mr. Shen Yi." The young blond man strode towards Shen Yi. "By the way, the colonel asked me to say hello to you."
Shen Yi replied, "I never knew that the Dane family was related to the colonel."
"It has nothing to do with family, it's purely personal friendship." Cliff spread his hands, "But when it comes to not knowing, I don't think this may be true. Speaking of which, you also forgot that we have something here."
As he spoke, Cliff took out something from the coat of arms and threw it to Shen Yi. It was the electronic bee that he put into Chen Tao's pocket.
Shen Yi took it and said with a smile, "Why is one missing? It turns out it was disobedient and flew to your place."
"Maybe he's too obedient." Cliff smiled.
Shen Yi laughed and put the scout bee back on his coat of arms without any embarrassment - the mosquito bee is also a bee, and it is always good to save one.
Then Shen Yi looked at Chen Tao, "So...you snitched on me, was that what the colonel meant?"
Chen Tao nodded, "You know if the Evil Emperor has any plans, the colonel will definitely be happy to destroy them. It just so happens that the colonel was a member of Team Gale before... and he still is now."
Shen Yi understood.
Although the Storm Team was finished, his agent Liu Haisu was still alive, and Chen Tao still had contact with the colonel, instead of going to another team to survive as Chen Tao said before.
Obviously, this is simply not true.
The Nether Wolf came to the Wind Team in order to form an anti-Blade alliance, and the news naturally reached the ears of the Colonel. With the feud between the Colonel and the Evil Emperor, he was naturally happy to cause some trouble for him, so he warned Shen through Chen Tao Yi, let him prepare in advance.
Therefore, although Chen Tao did not really want to join Shen Yi, he was indeed not a spy sent by the Anti-Broken Blade Alliance. He was just serving multiple organizations at the same time, just like Pandora.
Understanding this, Shen Yi looked back at Cliff, "It seems that you are the mastermind behind the scenes... I have to admit that you are pretty good. You are the only person who has caught me since I entered the city."
Although it is not an ambush, Shen Yi is still very unhappy about being guessed about his whereabouts and waiting for him. If it is not Cliff and Chen Tao who are ambushing here, but someone who wants to ambush him, then now Shen Yi is probably already a dead person.
Therefore, Shen Yi secretly felt cruel in his heart and would never give anyone such an opportunity again.
Instead, Cliff smiled and said, "If you are prepared or not, you will always take advantage."
He could see Shen Yi's thoughts. Of course, this was not surprising. For people like them, being judged by someone's behavior pattern meant huge risks in their actions, which could never be forgiven easily. 3∴35686688
However, Cliff did not feel any complacency because of this. As he said, he could predict Shen Yi only because he knew Shen Yi's existence, character, and even everything about him. However, Shen Yi had almost nothing to do with him. Any understanding.
This is an unfair game in itself. It's not surprising if he wins, but it's depressing if he loses.
"You are so considerate." Shen Yi smiled. He glanced far below, where Chen Yuntao and Pandora had appeared.
He said, "But I don't understand, since you are also a member of the Dane family, why do you still listen to the colonel's orders? I mean... I am not even sure whether you are an enemy or a friend."
Cliff replied, "That's up to you, Mr. Shen Yi. If you want, you can have hostile camps but friendly relations... just like you and Wei Na, Lao Meng and the others."
Shen Yi's eyes sparkled, and he said coldly, "It seems that you have really not been idle during this period. Can you tell me how you know?"
"Of course. In fact, it's not difficult to find the truth. What's difficult is to discover the problem before that. To be honest, at first I didn't expect you to have helpers in other camps." Cliff stepped forward, stood next to Shen Yi, and looked at Downward "It wasn't until I saw the condemned one that I realized that you might not have entered this world for no reason. Then I remembered the instructions you gave Chen Tao... You asked us all to enter from the South District."
"So you realized that I may have helpers in other camps, so you can only go to the Southern District."
"That's right. So I felt it was necessary to check who were in those two districts. Fortunately, there was only one team of Chinese in the North District, so I just spent some bloody points and got mine from the North District. The answer I wanted. It turned out to be the West District, which took me a lot of effort. Fortunately, two members of your team happened to be in the West District, and they happened to be very close to a team called Eternal Night. …”
While Cliff was talking, Chen Tao had already walked down the mountain. The two real leaders had met, and it was time for the thief to leave automatically.
"The colonel asked you to destroy the evil emperor's plan, but he didn't ask you to expose my background."
"No, the colonel asked me to observe the situation, act cautiously, seek self-protection in advance, and don't go against you easily."
Shen Yi was a little surprised, "Is this what he told you? Aren't you here to destroy the Evil Emperor's plan?"
"Yes, not entirely. Don't forget that the colonel and I are in a relationship, but I have a family connection with Christine. If I just listen to him, wouldn't it be betraying the family? So all the colonel can do is give You issue a warning, and the rest is ultimately up to you."
"Then what you are doing now..."
"It has nothing to do with the colonel!" Cliff replied with great certainty, "It has something to do with that damned one."
He looked at Shen Yi and said, "I know what you're here for. You don't have to admit a word of what I'm going to say next, but your tone, attitude, expression and subtle movements will determine what I do with this final fact." Please make a judgment. Please don’t mislead me. It will directly determine whether there is a possibility of cooperation between us.”
As he spoke, he said word by word, "You are entrusted by the space manager to kill this damned one!"
————————————————
By the small lake, Chen Yuntao and Pandora had found their target, a huge Hydra. The two were fighting fiercely with the big monster.
Shen Yi and Cliff stood on the big rock on the top of the mountain, watching this scene.
After a while, Shen Yi slowly said, "That's absolutely not the case!"
Looking at Shen Yi's expression, Cliff showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Although Shen Yi's answer was that it was absolutely not the case, his expression, behavior, even his long thinking, and the cautious tone of his words at this moment fully demonstrated that "it is indeed the case."
Cliff breathed a sigh of relief and actually sat down.
Hug your knees and watch the battle below.
He said "Do you know how many babies a spider can have in a year?"
Shen Yi was stunned, Cliff had already said to himself, "More than five hundred, powerful shēngzhi ability. When the little spiders emerge from the eggs, they begin the process of foraging alone. They will encounter many encounters in their lives." Many dangers, and ultimately only a handful will survive the process of growing up.”
He looked at Shen Yi, "Those who survive may not all be outstanding, but they must all be lucky."
Shen Yi didn't say anything, he knew Cliff wouldn't say this for no reason.
Sighing, Cliff said, "The Dane family is actually a huge spider. Every heir must be like a little spider, relying on his own strength to hunt for food before he reaches adulthood. Before you really grow up, you You can’t rely on much power from the family at all. That’s why Christine wants to take revenge on you, but she can only ask me for help.”
"So, are the Dane family really one family?"
"How is that possible?" Cliff laughed. "No one can give birth in the city. If anyone does, it must be a bu."
Shen Yi was shocked when he heard these words.
Cliff has continued, "The Dane family has a bloodline called Phoenix. It sounds cool, right? But unfortunately, it is not truly immortal. The Phoenix bloodline does not have the ability to regenerate, but it can pass on part of its power to designated people. The goal. In our words, it is the blood relationship between people, which is nothing more than the duplication of genes. The phoenix bloodline has at least the ability to copy part of its own genes... Therefore, you can also accept People who inherit this kind of bloodline regard them as their own children. Of course, this is somewhat different from the traditional concept of family. It is possible that your son is older than you, but you will get used to it as time goes by. "
"So that's it. In fact, you are not a family created through blood and gestation, but through the connection of blood, passed down by blood in another form."
"That's right!" Cliff snapped his fingers, "But the increase in power brought by passing on blood is limited. In the final analysis, it is just a form of family inheritance. To be precise, blood is the link that connects the family, and knowledge is what we inherit. The ultimate goal. The Dane family is a rare ancient family in the bloody city. It has existed in the city for hundreds of years. Each generation of patriarchs must and must choose the Phoenix bloodline. This bloodline not only has powerful power, but more importantly, it is the ancient and huge The inheritance of memory...comes from our knowledge and understanding of the world."
He looked at Shen Yi, "This is its most valuable part!"
Shen Yi nodded slightly, "So you know everything about the condemned one."
"Yes." Cliff replied. "The damned ones...the damned ones...since they have been punished by heaven, how could the city just let it go? They always have to send people to destroy them. But I didn't expect that you would actually They will use this opportunity to make us and the condemned people fight each other... Fortunately, from the colonel, I learned about your relationship with that girl, so I can understand your choice."
Shen Yi did not answer.
There are some things that you just need to understand in your heart, but you can never admit them with your mouth.
Now that Cliff told the biggest inheritance secret about the Dane family, Shen Yi naturally knew how he knew all this.
There is no doubt that the Dane family knows a lot about the city. They have hidden these secrets deep in their blood and passed them down as inheritance. After accumulating it from generation to generation, they probably know more secrets than Shen Yi. Much more.
It happened that the colonel knew something about what happened between him, the space manager and the girl in white.
So Cliff can deduce all this, which is completely normal.
The only thing he hasn't figured out yet is, since he knows all this, why doesn't he stop it from happening?
On the bank of the cold lake, a large number of adventurers from the southern area have already rushed out and rushed towards Chen Yuntao and Pandora. Among them were the Netherworld Wolf and the Gale Team, and even Chen Tao had joined the sniping ranks.
The blood suddenly appeared, and a new cruel battle officially began.
Judging from the number of adventurers who appeared and the elf soldiers surrounding him from all directions, it seemed that this operation was definitely not a show, but a real attempt to kill Chen Yuntao.
But the two masterminds who were manipulating the war behind the scenes were already sitting on the big rocks chatting and laughing at this moment, as if everything happening under their noses was just an ordinary trivial matter.
Cliff's words reveal the secret: "There are always some people who can only be cannon fodder, only suitable for being manipulated, and are born to be managed."
"What about us? Are we born managers?" Frankly speaking, Shen Yi doesn't like this lineage theory, but he can understand the inexplicable sense of honor that the other party comes from "an ancient family".
Cliff smiled and said, "No, I am also a managed person, but my status as a managed person is temporary."
"So when will you become a manager?"
"The day I became the patriarch of the family." Cliff answered seriously.
Shen Yi was shocked. At that moment, he finally knew what Cliff wanted.
"You want Christine's life?"
———————————————
Today, Cliff finally no longer hides himself.
There was a rare expression of anger on his face, which showed strong contempt, disdain for Christine and a strong murderous intention.
He said, "Christine is a fool. He is one of the few fools in the family who did not grow up on his own. Because his father is one of the highest-ranking elders in the family. Yes, it was the city that brought their father and son in. At different times, Christian relied on his father's status to join the family and became the second heir of the family. But in terms of ability, he is the worst among the five heirs!"
"But you can't kill him, because if you kill him, the family will cause trouble for you?" Shen Yi asked.
Cliff let out a long breath, "Although the family allows the little spiders to grow up on their own, they will never allow the little spiders to kill each other. Since Cliff's father is an important member of the family, he will not sit back and watch anyone. Kill my own son. Although I had long wanted him to die, I had to be careful not to express any hatred towards him. Not only that, I also had to get as close to him as possible, pretending to be his good friend, and treat him badly. I must endure all his stupidity and arrogance... No matter what the circumstances, no matter how big of a mistake he made, I must try my best to say good things about him without leaving anyone with a clue."
"So Kristen always thought you were his best friend."
"To be precise, he always thought that I was a guy who obeyed his words, was somewhat useful, and posed no threat to him."
"This shows that you disguise yourself very well."
"It's a pity that no matter how good the disguise is, there will always be a day when it is torn apart. The only problem is that I don't have much time to tolerate it in the city... In a few months, the patriarch will enter the Babel Tower. When that day comes, finally The heir to the clan leader will also appear."
"So you must hurry up and kill Christine."
"It was never the question of killing Christine, it was who was responsible."
"Yes, you entered this world with Christine. If you kill him and return to the city, the family will not let you go."
"So someone must help me take the blame."
Shen Yi nodded, "Yes, and this person must be voluntary. He must not be afraid of the Dane family, and have the strength to kill Christine. Most importantly, he must have the reason and desire to kill Christine... It seems that I am qualified."
"It's not just that. If this person is willing to help me take the blame, he will definitely be hunted down by his family in the future. It just so happens that I am only the third heir in line now, and Christine died, and A boss was pressing on my head. If I was chasing the target, the boss would also die..."
"Then you can naturally become the first heir, and no one will doubt you. Because I did everything, and I am the enemy of the Dane family!"
"That's right!"
"Then the only question now is...why should I help you take the blame?"
Cliff smiled, "Because I will also help you take the blame, a trouble you have been avoiding, a higher-level trouble. For you, that is what you really don't want to face, and for you For me, since I haven’t accepted anyone’s commission, there won’t be any trouble at all…”
As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Chen Yuntao who was not far away, "I'll kill this person, and you help me deal with Christine. We'll jointly bear responsibility for each other. How about that?"
Shen Yi stared at Cliff for a long time before he said, "You are the most clever opponent I have ever seen since I entered the city."
Cliff immediately replied, "I am not your enemy, Shen Yi! A truly smart person will never find someone like you as an opponent, but will only be a friend."
"Friend..." Shen Yi smiled, "It seems that the colonel said a lot of good things about me."
"It was after what he told you that I accepted Christine's invitation."
"Then for you, this mission can be regarded as your last chance."
"Yes!" Cliff did not hide it. For him, there was nothing better than this opportunity.
Shen Yi said calmly, "The deal is too beneficial to you. I have to add three conditions. For this mission, you must get the fourth place in the camp. I don't want any additional changes in the main mission. If you don't have the money to pay the fine, , I can lend it to you. Second, pay me 60,000 blood points, and each member of the Broken Blade team is 10,000. My price is very cheap, and you can pay it after returning. Third, all actions related to the Dane family, especially what they may do to them in the future. You must provide accurate information for the pursuit we launch."
