2. Syndicate. The power behind --- Brother Mao Shiba in 2016 [11/10]
Auriden Perenolde, the last member of the Perenolde royal family whose bloodline has now withered.
In the history of the empire, because of fear of the orcs, he unilaterally opened the Alterac Mountains to the orcs, which directly led to the siege of the orcs. King Aiden Perenold was his uncle. According to the original Alterac
According to the laws of succession, Auriden is not eligible to inherit the throne.
Especially after the Prestor family was entrusted by the alliance to manage Alterac, the Perenolde royal family had lost actual control over the ancestral land. But again, no matter how corrupt a system is, when it is on the verge of
When they collapse, they won't all be a bunch of cowards.
There will always be people who stand up and try to save it, and Auriden is one of those old nobles who tried to save the rule of the Perenolde royal family, and his personal experience, frankly speaking, is definitely a bumpy one.
O'riden is 32 years old.
Eight years ago, he served at Durnholde Castle in the Hillsbrad Hills. At that time, he was looked upon differently by Blackmoore, the castle's general. If those tragic events had not happened, then Auriden's future would have been very uncertain.
Perhaps becoming a general in the Kingdom of Alterac, or even better, becoming a marshal.
But the destruction of Durnholde Castle buried this future.
That night, after being rescued from the castle by the Chaldean priest, Auriden looked at the body of General Blackmoore, whom he admired most. He was so devastated that he seemed to have lost his purpose in life and returned home, which was Alterac.
A modest house in the city, he became an alcoholic.
But the nightmare did not let him go so easily. One night not long after he returned home, the orcs and death knights raided the city of Alterac and completely set the city on fire. Auriden, who was out hunting at the time, was very lucky.
He escaped this disaster, but after hearing that His Majesty Aiden and all the royal family members of Perenold who were imprisoned in the palace were killed by orcs, Auriden had a premonition of a bad future.
Since then, Auriden Perenold changed many professions. He remained invisible and lived in the hills of Hillsbrad and Arathi Highlands, which he was most familiar with. Until a few years later, when he heard about the Empire of Man,
After the reconstruction, Emperor Lothar would directly rule Alterac, and Auriden returned to his long-lost hometown.
But he is not doing it to continue his life, but to make a last ditch effort for his surname and bloodline... To put it more directly, Auriden returned to Alterac just to commit suicide... He has had enough
He had had enough of a life accompanied by nightmares.
At this time, the Syndicate, a secret gathering composed of the nobles of the original Perenold dynasty, approached him. The Syndicate needed a signature figure to gather strength, and the weak Auriden was a perfect fit.
But this time, Oriden's fortune finally turned around, because he met a woman...a woman who could save him from his nightmare.
"call"
Under the gaze of Nasa, and under the gaze of other people in the uppermost circle of the Syndicate, Oriden stretched out his hand and slowly took off the black and white mask on his face, revealing the slightly pale and slightly...
Thin, but with a resolute and handsome face.
The bloodline of the Pinoride family is still very good, and several years of wandering life have made Oridon full of a free and manly flavor. And under the blending of the blood of Sarain, Oridon
Liden's face was a little feminine, especially his eyes that were shining with blood and had a hint of gentleness, which almost immediately attracted the attention of the young "Magician" lady.
Today he was wearing an old-fashioned formal dress that only old nobles would wear, a frugal black, white shirt and tie, and a head of loose black hair, making him look elegant.
If Tyrion were here, he would definitely comment that this is definitely the most perfect template for a human vampire in his imagination... Yes, Nasa came to Syndicate, and Nasa controlled Syndicate, not just to collect intelligence.
...She has another purpose, another mission.
Create a team of human vampires... to serve as a fifth column to penetrate the upper echelons of the human empire.
In the attack on Zul'Gurub in the second half of last year, after obtaining the offspring of Sirik, the Bat God, the blood lords made a great breakthrough in their research on how to control blood servants. Ori, who now stands in front of the leader of the Syndicate,
Den Perenold was the first successful product of this breakthrough.
How does he look 32 years old? It's like he has rejuvenated. He looks like a 20-year-old young man at most!
This scene made everyone's eyes widen.
"This is it?"
The old man "Navigator" who was very calm just now became no longer calm after seeing Oridon's face. He stretched out his fingers tremblingly and tried to touch Oridon's cheek. In his memory,
There was a scar on Oridon's face, but now, the scar has disappeared, and his face is as smooth as a newborn baby. Even a group of ordinary people can clearly feel Oridon's body.
There is a strong vitality like a new life.
"This is the... new life you promised?"
The navigator turned his head and looked at Nasa, who picked up a glass of blood wine, shook it at him, and said in a lazy voice:
"Yes, Mr. Navigator, you really don't care about worldly rewards, but I won't use ordinary money to repay you. I know that there is an unwilling soul hidden in your heart. As Pirino once said,
A great nobleman under the rule of the German royal family, you once owned everything. Even after the fall of the Perenold royal family, you did not lose your wealth, but there is one thing... that you cannot get back no matter what."
"Life, time, as time goes by, you become older, just like a traveler who is going down the river of time and is about to reach the end. All the good things in your life will be destroyed by the fear of death. Every day, you
Every day we live now is a cruel gift...Who doesn't want to turn back life? Who doesn't want to embrace a new life?"
Nasa drank all the blood wine in the cup. She stood up and placed a blood-red gem in front of the "navigator". The gem was filled with liquid like blood. She said in a seductive voice.
:
"Now, it is right in front of you. Embrace it, say goodbye to death, and then enjoy your new life to the fullest... You see, in the future of immortality, can your old master come back to Alterac again?
What does it matter? Old man, people, if you live more selfishly sometimes, you will gain more happiness."
"Immortal?"
Faced with this strange temptation, even the "Duke" in his prime couldn't help but swallow his saliva, let alone the already old "Navigator", even though he was sitting on unimaginable wealth.
But as Nasa said, all that wealth cannot buy him the time to be young again.
But after all, "Navigator" was once the top noble of the Kingdom of Alterac. Even now, most of the land and industry have been surrendered by the Human Empire, he still has unimaginable influence on this land. This kind of
Being in a high position for many years has brought him enough sense. His breathing was heavy, but he did not reach out to hold the blood gem in Nasa's hand. He gritted his teeth and asked:
"So, what's the price?"
"So smart...of course it comes with a price."
Nasa took a step forward, stuffed the cold blood gem into the palm of the "navigator", and then said to him:
"The price is...the entire Barov family must devote their loyalty to the new king, and in return, His Majesty will generously grant you true immortality...and also create opportunities for you to return to the empire system. You
What you have to do is very simple, just pass some necessary news to us when necessary, that's all."
"How did you know!"
The old navigator let out a scream because his biggest secret was revealed, but the next moment, the anger slipped away from the old man. He was silent for a few seconds, reached out and took off the mask on his face.
After seeing that wrinkled face, Miss Magician and the Duke said his name at the same time.
"Count Alex Barov..."
No wonder the "Navigator" has frightening power and endless wealth under his command... No wonder...
The Barov family is the top noble in the Kingdom of Alterac and even the entire Human Alliance. One sentence can describe the prosperity of their family. The entire Southsea Town, Tarren Mir, Keldaron and Brill
Large towns were once private lands belonging to the Barov family. In the time before the Second World War, the Barov family was one of the legendary nobles who truly stood at the top of human history.
It's a pity that Aiden Perenold's madness completely ruined all of this, but even now, like a rat crossing the street, the wealth in the hands of the Barov family can still make people tremble.
"Well, what do you say? Mr. Alex Barov."
Nasa sat back on the chair and looked at the old-fashioned aristocrat in front of her. She saw the desire in the deepest part of Count Barov's eyes. She knew very well what choice he would make.
"Bang"
The blood gem was crushed by both hands, and the flowing cold blood was entangled in Barov's old hands. He looked down at his fingers, watching the liquid like living things seeping into the skin, and looking at the blood on his hands.
The wrinkles disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, the skin became smooth again, and a new power slowly grew in his body.
"The transformation will last for a full seven days."
Nasa’s voice sounded distant, as if it came from another world:
"The blood of Sarain will completely reverse your time. Go to sleep, Count Barov. When you wake up, you will see a new world... and at that time, you should pay tribute to your new king.
..loyal.”
As she spoke, Nasa stretched out her hand to push Count Barov forward, who had fallen into a coma. The moment his body fell, the figures of two blood watchers appeared strangely behind the count, supporting him and sending him away.
Entering the dark room on the other side of the room, there was a carefully prepared walnut wood coffin, decorated with comfortable velvet and fragrant flower petals.
There will be Count Barov's residence for these seven days.
After doing all this, Nasa turned around and put one hand on her waist, while Oriden stood silently next to Nasa. The two of them stared at the two people in front of them. The Duke felt the pressure. As an assassin,
, although he is not as frightened as the "Duke" of Ravenholdt Manor, but he is definitely a good player.
But after seeing the activities of the Blood Watchers, he no longer had confidence in his own skills. And for the big-breasted and brainless noble daughter "Magician" beside him, the choice was easy.
a lot of.
This female mage who also came from a run-down noble family in Alterac took off her mask generously, revealing her pretty baby face, and then gritted her teeth and said to Nasa:
"Give me a gem too..."
"You think too much, little cutie."
Nasa sneered: "Blood gems are only given to valuable members, but if you really want to join us... Countess Dabel Montrose, are you really ready?"
The female mage looked at Nasa with some fear, and nodded like a little rabbit. Nasa pouted at Oriden next to her. The next moment, Oriden's figure turned into a swarm of black bats and disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was standing behind the female mage. He stretched out his hands and hugged the female mage Dabel gently, then lowered his head and kissed her slender neck.
The two were as close as real lovers. After the weak pain on her neck, a strange pleasure spread throughout the female mage's body, causing her to collapse in Auriden's arms. She heard Oliden's words.
Den whispers like a lover:
"You...belong to me."
"I...I would like..."
Nasa looked at the scene in front of her speechlessly. This girl with big breasts and no brains was really easy to deceive. However, she still had one last problem. She looked at the "Duke" who quietly retreated, and asked in a cold voice:
"Duke Faculest, what's your answer?"
"Swish, swish, swish"
Three sharp and cold blades touched Duke Faculest's body from the shadow behind. Feeling the coldness coming from behind, the high-level assassin Faculest, this Alterac
The once great nobleman of the kingdom gritted his teeth and finally threw away the dagger in his hands.
"Okay, I'll join you!"
