The Dark King
603 Elder Meeting
After a few days.
Cage arrived as scheduled and returned to the desolate stronghold from the giant wall to report to Du Dean: "Master, your account is ready, and Nicotine and Grylie are waiting for you to return."
Du Dian accompanied Helissa to sit on the stone, looking at the sunset in the distance. Hearing Cach's words behind him, he did not look back. He only asked: "Did the news leak out?"
Cage said busy: "No, I told you only to Greeley and Nicotine, and your two friends, and no one else knew."
Du Di'an nodded slightly, looking at the dim sunset, thinking with ridicule in his heart, the night was approaching, even the glorious sun, was eroded with blood and red, and was it foreshadowing what?
He got up slowly, patted the dust on his sleeve, took Helisa's slender hand, and said softly, "We can go home."
Helissa stood up silently, her expression cold.
Cage looked at Helissa, who was standing, feeling a little throbbing in his heart. Every time he faced this girl, he felt a terrified feeling living in a cage with the tiger. He couldn't help but want to leave as soon as possible, but he knew, This girl's status in Du Di'an's mind seems to be quite high, because he has never seen this cold-blooded boy, who has been so intimate and gentle with whom.
Du Dean put a few super batteries full of electric energy in the hunter’s rucksack and gave it to Cage to carry it. Then he first came under the rope in front of the giant wall. He glanced at Helissa. In the instruction he taught, There was no instruction to climb yet. She immediately reached out and hugged her waist. She held the rope with her other hand and clamped the lower end of the rope with her legs. She climbed up with one hand.
Cage worried that the rope would be too heavy and broken, so he didn’t dare to keep up. He stood on the ground and watched the figure of Du Dean and Helissa gradually go up to the top of the giant wall, but his heart was secretly awe-inspiring. The girl who felt extremely horrible, actually followed Du Dean in such a way that the close relationship between the two showed fullness, and he became more and more awed and awed by Du Dean in his heart.
Du Di'an didn't look down. He climbed up to the giant wall in one breath. His arms pulled hard, jumped from the rope and landed on the giant wall. He glanced at Cage who had just climbed the rope under his feet. Without urging, he waited. While looking at the mountains and the earth inside the giant wall, the infinite scenery, the corner of the mouth slightly evoked a touch of arc.
After a while, Cage climbed up the giant wall with sweat and said, "Let the young master wait for a long time."
"Let's go." Du Dean held Helisa in one hand and came to the rope on the other side of the giant wall, sliding down the rope.
...
...
The night came quietly.
Starry, beautiful night sky.
In front of a luxury manor in a bustling town in the business district, horse-drawn carriages arrived one after another. Instead of stopping outside the gate like ordinary noble guests, the horse-drawn carriage went directly to a spacious open space in the manor. The man who got off the carriage, wearing a peculiar mask, led into the brightly lit manor castle under the leadership of the attendant.
Different from the silent manor, in the deep underground of the manor, a bustling voice came, like a bustling market during the day.
Masked figures wandered around the square, picking the materials they needed in front of the stalls, or the latest news in this area, in addition to some alchemists and works sold by magicians.
Hawkeye stood at the window and quietly looked at the familiar night scene on the square. After a moment, the door behind him was suddenly pushed open. A 17-year-old boy with a handsome face stepped into the room, looking proud and saying: "Eagle Eye, the meeting started immediately. The elders asked you to prepare the meeting materials. How are you preparing?"
Hawkeye frowned slightly. He didn't like being disturbed by his quietness. At the moment, it was exactly the one he didn't like the most. He was doing the thing he didn't like the most. A flash of murderous intention flashed in his golden eyes, but Hidden quickly, including the anger in my heart.
He turned around and smiled: "Secretary Marr, I have the information ready and I can give it to the elders at any time."
The proud young man snorted and said: "If you are ready, come to the meeting room, don't let everyone wait for a long time."
"Okay, I'll be here soon." Hawkeye smiled.
The arrogant boy turned away immediately, grabbing the doorknob with his backhand and taking it at random, the door trembled slightly as the door trembled.
The eagle-eyed smile suddenly disappeared, grabbed an expensive art cup at hand and slammed it out, smashing it against the wall with a loud bang.He sneered, grabbed the materials on the bookshelf next to him, and went out the door.
In the meeting room, seven figures were sitting on both sides of the round table, in the most seated position, sitting a slender old man with a wrinkled face, no difference from the ordinary old man on the street, wearing a parallel on his finger The unassuming dark green jadeite finger, only a few people know, the price of this finger alone is enough to be worth 50% of the wealth of any of the six consortia!
The meeting room was pushed away, and the teenager came in. The arrogance on his face had long disappeared. He bent over humbly and came to the old man, whispering: "Elder, the eagle eye has come."
The old man seemed to be dozing his eyelids, still squinting, there was no response, just a soft hum.
Soon, Hawkeye also entered the room. He glanced at the young man who was cleverly standing behind the old man, who was no longer half proud of his face at the moment.He only glanced at it and turned his head to the old man: "Elder, I have prepared the information you want." Then he handed the information to the old man.
The old man didn't pick it up.
The teenager dexterously took it over and placed it respectfully on the table in front of the old man.
The old man was silent for a moment and slowly said, "Everyone, in a few days, it is the elder meeting. Every elder meeting is nothing more than a discussion of ranking matters. Based on the performance of our ninth district in the past six months, you think After this meeting of elders, can we be ranked in the ninth district?"
Hearing the words, the faces of the six people in the seat changed slightly, and one of the hot and plump women immediately said: "Elder, this is no blame for us. If you want to blame, you can only blame the elders who took office. After he took office, he said nothing. It also removed the six of us MPs, and also imprisoned me in the dungeon. Fortunately, the elders came to liberate me, otherwise, the power of our ninth district will be even weaker."
"Yeah!" Another burly man with a low voice said, "Elder, we have done our best to develop, but after the elders removed the six parliamentarians, they suddenly disappeared. During his tenure, everything Not done, before our 9th District was violated, he completely ignored it, causing us heavy losses. If it were not for him, our 9th District will definitely be able to continue to maintain the identity of the 9th District, and even have the possibility of rising!"
"Good!" Another person immediately replied and said, "Elder, if you don't arrive in time, no one in our ninth district will lead, it will be more chaotic. It is estimated that the bottom is possible. Although these days I have vigorously cultivated many potential newcomers , But after all, the time is short, I believe that by the next elder meeting, we will definitely be able to restore the ninth district ranking..."
The old man raised his hand slightly to stop other people who wanted to speak, and said indifferently: "I have great responsibility for taking office as an elder. I know this, but during my succession, how can you complete the tasks explained to you?"
Hearing the words, everyone stunned, looked at each other, and looked ugly.
"As deputies, you have behaved so negligently. I am very disappointed, and the speaker is very disappointed!"
Hearing the word "Speaker", everyone's face changed slightly, and there was a trace of awe in their eyes, less awe and more awe.
"This time, the ranking will definitely decline." The old man said slowly: "However, I will focus on the bad influence of the elders. I will bear the responsibility for this matter! However, I hope that at the next meeting of elders, you will not It will make it harder for me, and it will be harder for everyone, you know?"
Everyone had different thoughts and bowed their heads together: "Yes."
"Okay." The eyes in the old man's eyes flicked slightly, glancing at the crowd, and told the eagle eye aside: "Pass the information to everyone, everyone, this is the eighth district that has been doing things right with us for half a year. And the latest information in the eleventh district, let's take a good look at the number of their Samsung alchemists and the status of a newly born five-star magician in the eighth district."
"A new five-star potionist appeared in District 8?"
Everyone was startled and immediately grabbed the information and looked at it.
The old man said slowly: "When the meeting of elders is over, I plan to capture the Leia Street in the Eastern District, which is the ancestral home of the Morse family in the Huasheng Consortium. If it can be captured there, it will be possible to choke Morse The throat of the family, in this way, can also make up for the loss caused by the elders..." At this point, suddenly a cold wind blew from the outside, making the temperature in the room cooled instantly, and it was chilling.
The old man frowned slightly, just preparing to instruct the teenager to close the door. Suddenly, he felt a cold palm on his shoulder, and at the same time, an extremely bland voice rang in his ear: "You are talking about me What?"
