The Dark Curtain stronghold in Sun Yao Valley is not large. Compared to other cities, it has fewer personnel and fewer resources. However, the old man there is now sitting in the most distinguished position.
All this time, even Han Shuo had ignored the existence of this person in Sunshine Valley. He only knew that he was guarding the shop with a smile all day long and covering the existence of the Dark Curtain stronghold inside. However, he did not expect that he would be the elder of the Dark Curtain.
The old man saw Han Shuo looking at him with shining eyes, nodded towards Han Shuo with a smile, and said, "Why, you don't recognize me anymore?"
"No, I just didn't expect to see an old man here, so I was a little surprised." Han Shuo answered truthfully.
"Brian, this is Mr. Sabokas, the last five-day messenger. Sunshine Valley is where Mr. Sabokas retired. Of course, that identity is not real." Candida still looked eerie.
However, he stood up when introducing Han Shuo, obviously showing respect for Sabokas.
Han Shuo couldn't sense the elemental aura from Sabokas. He was shocked and immediately understood that he was either an ordinary person who didn't understand martial arts or magic, or a truly strong man whose strength he couldn't even see. He
Being able to sit in such a position means that he is not an ordinary person who doesn't know anything. Han Shuo can already imagine how strong Sabokas is.
"I've met the old gentleman!" Han Shuo bowed respectfully and greeted with a smile.
Nodding, Sabokas raised his left hand, and the space beside Emily was distorted. A white marble chair exactly like theirs fell next to Emily. Sabokas smiled and said to Han Shuo: "First
Sit down."
Han Shuo thanked him and walked to the chair to sit down. He happened to be close to Emily. After Han Shuo sat down, Emily, who was next to Han Shuo, whispered: "Saboka
Si is Cecilia’s grandfather, Lancelot’s Holy Space Magister of the Empire. Emma, the dean of your Babylon Academy of Magic and Martial Arts, was also instructed by him. The large-scale magic teleportation arrays in various cities in the empire, including various
All kinds of space teleportation arrays were arranged by him."
Han Shuo was startled and couldn't help but look at Sabokas again. Then he remembered what Emily said to him in the underground world last time. Emily said last time that Cecilia's grandfather was a very powerful person.
He had seen this character before. Han Shuo had been thinking about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out. Only now did he finally understand it.
Sitting next to Sabokas was an old woman with saggy skin and a face full of ravines. She sat there holding a crystal ball in both hands and spinning it around, her gray-white eyes full of loneliness.
Seems a little out of place with everyone here
When Han Shuo came in, this witch-like old woman didn't show any attention. She sat there silently as if she was asleep. However, the crystal ball in her hand was still spinning, seeming to remind everyone that she was there.
Still listening to everyone's speech.
"That's the mysterious old astrologer Grace. I just learned about her existence from my brother, but I don't know what she does specifically. But the mysterious existence of astrologers is said to be able to see the future. I don't know what it is.
Is it true or not?" Emily saw Han Shuo looking at the old witch and once again opened her mouth to explain to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo sat upright and didn't say much. He just nodded slightly to show that he had heard Emily's introduction. His eyes roamed over Sabokas and the witch-like old astrologer Grace, and his heart was filled with surprise.
One is the holy magician of the space system, and the other is an extremely mysterious astrologer.
These two people should be the senior figures of the Dark Curtain. In addition, the three giants of the Dark Curtain are gathered here. What exactly is the council talking about in front of them? Han Shuo is really looking forward to it. He sits there without moving, ready to listen to what they have to say.
What.
"Brian, I know some of the things you did in Sunshine Valley. Haha, you are a nice young man. Everyone can express their own opinions on the things discussed here. Since you can sit here, you can also express your opinions on the things discussed here.
Opinion." Sabokas looked at Han Shuo with a smile and said to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo thanked him again and sat there honestly without saying anything. Han Shuo looked at the thirteen people here one by one and understood that the people who could sit here must be those in the dark curtain.
As a real high-level person, he didn't know what could bring these people together, and he was full of curiosity.
After a while, Han Shuo gradually understood why these people gathered together. It turned out that it was also because of the struggle for power between several princes.
When a country and an emperor are to be reborn, the country will inevitably face a bloody purge. No matter what force or person it is, it is simply unrealistic to completely protect one's self. Even the dark curtain, an institution that has always been neutral, will also face this.
An extremely headache-inducing choice.
For this dark curtain organization that directly serves His Majesty the King, it will also become the dark hand of the new emperor in the future. After the new emperor is born, he will definitely choose the person he trusts most to take charge of this huge power organization. If the dark curtain is in the wrong position now
, the top leaders of Dark Curtain will definitely be purged in the future.
After listening for a while, Han Shuo found that they seemed to want to remain neutral, but several princes had clearly extended invitations to Dark Curtain. All three of Dark Curtain's giants had been invited by several princes. Currently, the three of them have rejected any prince's invitation.
The invitation showed a neutral attitude to the outside world, but the three of them understood that if they really remained neutral, any prince who succeeded to the throne in the future would exclude those who remained neutral from their confidants.
The Dark Curtain organization has always been the emperor's most trusted entity. If it does not get the new emperor's cronies, then the senior officials inside will definitely be purged. By then, it is uncertain whether the three giants will be the three people they are now.
Among these thirteen people, some people tend to choose the most powerful prince Charles, who they believe is the most qualified to sit on the throne. Of course, there are also one or two who choose the other two princes, who also have their own
Reason, but no one thought highly of Lawrence, who was an illegitimate son, and no one mentioned him.
"Brian, I heard that you and Lawrence have a close relationship. What do you think of this matter?" When the three-day envoys and the four-day envoys expressed their opinions, the two elders and the three giants did not clearly express their opinions. Then
Cecilia suddenly glanced at Han Shuo and asked.
Han Shuo remained silent, just listening to everyone's conversation. He did not expect that Cecilia would suddenly question him, and he was a little stunned for a moment.
Suddenly, the eyes of the thirteen people in the room fell on Han Shuo. Han Shuo, who has been at the forefront of the Dark Curtain and the imperial authority in recent days, is in a somewhat special situation like them. As a city in the east, Brettel City is currently
It is blooming with vitality, and as the city lord, Han Shuo has enough chips no matter which side he joins.
Han Shuo was stunned for a while, then silent. Then he smiled and said: "I will help Lawrence. As the Lord of Brettel City, it is my principle to repay kindness. No matter how you don't think favorably of Lawrence, I will still do it."
support him."
"Lawrence, that illegitimate son Lawrence?" Cecilia said disdainfully and shook her head: "Everyone has hope, but this guy has no hope."
Han Shuo smiled and said nothing, knowing in his heart that everyone here would not think highly of Lawrence. Some of the other envoys also looked disdainful and ignored Han Shuo's attitude. They all looked away from Han Shuo and looked at Sisi.
Leah and other senior officials.
At this time, the old astrologer Grace, the old woman, slightly lit up the crystal ball in her hand with a soft light. Grace's cloudy eyes slowly became full of clarity. She suddenly moved her heavy eyelids and stared at the misty green ball in her hand.
Crystal ball, looking at the stars inside.
Sabokas, the holy magician of the space department, stopped smiling and suddenly turned his gaze solemnly to the old astrologer. The three Candida giants also looked very surprised. Looking at the man who came in from Han Shuo, they seemed to be shocked.
Like the old astrologer Grace sleeping.
As the starlight of the crystal ball in her hand flickered, the groove-like wrinkles on the face of the old astrologer Grace trembled slightly, and she coughed violently. Life is like a candle in the wind that will be extinguished at any time, and the coughing sound is heartbreaking.
, and finally spit out a mouthful of blood on the crystal ball.
The crystal ball she held in her hand suddenly shattered. The old astrologer Grace swayed and almost collapsed from her sitting position. After a while, her violent coughing gradually stopped, and her eyes were filled with a dull gray-white color again, like
My old eyes are too dim to see clearly.
The three-day and four-day envoys in the room just felt strange, but the space system holy mage Sabokas and the three giants were looking at the old astrologer Grace with shining eyes, as if they did not even dare to express their anger, as if they were waiting for something.
The old astrologer Grace, who had been silent since the beginning of the meeting, looked at Sabokas and the Big Three with her cloudy gray eyes one by one. Finally, her eyes turned to Han Shuo. Sabokas was sitting in the corner.
Si and the other three giants were suddenly startled, and their eyes also focused on Han Shuo.
"What should we do in the future?" Sabokas looked at Han Shuo in surprise, then turned to look at the old astrologer Grace, and asked cautiously.
"Sabokas, I'm a little tired." The old astrologer Grace uttered these words tremblingly, and her eyes had long been withdrawn from looking at Han Shuo, as if it was just a casual glance.
Sabokas nodded, glanced at Candida's Big Three, and said, "I'll send her to rest first. You can continue to talk, but don't make a decision yet."
The three giants stood up at the same time, bowed to Holy Magister Sabokas and Grace, and respectfully sent Sabokas, the veteran of the dark curtain, away.
Sabokas smiled slightly, and a ball of light enveloped him and the old astrologer Grace. The light flashed and the two disappeared without a trace. Even Han Shuo could not feel a breath on their bodies. It seemed that they had already left this place.
Meeting room.
After Sabokas and the old astrologer Grace left, the three giants did not talk about the future direction of Dark Curtain. They seemed to be waiting for the guidance of Sabokas and the old astrologer. The rest of the time, they talked about the recent days.
Various major events occurred in the Dark Curtain, and the three- and four-day envoys reported on some difficult-to-solve problems, and also explained the weird things in their jurisdiction and the situations that were harmful to the safety of the empire.
"Bryan, how is the situation in Brattle City and the seven principalities?" After everyone here had finished reporting, Candida, one of the three giants, glanced at Han Shuo and asked Han Shuo.
Although Han Shuo is the city lord of Brettel City, he is only a two-day messenger here, and is actually the person with the lowest status. After hearing this, Han Shuo stood up from his seat and said calmly: "The dark curtain stronghold of Brettel City
It is developing well, with Brettel City as the center, and its bases are distributed to any major city in the seven principalities. Every day, major events will be reported to Brettel City through letters. "
"Very good, the seven principalities should be monitored carefully. They have always been restless." Candida replied.
"Sir, do you know Stratholme in the Seven Principalities of Stranglethorn Valley?" Han Shuo thought for a moment and suddenly asked Candida before sitting down.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the eleven people who had left after Sabocas Grace were all unhappy. Candida shook her head helplessly with a gloomy face, and then suddenly looked at Han Shuo in surprise: "You touched
To that old monster?"
Shaking his head, Han Shuo said: "No, but I heard that he was the last national advisor of the Verdun Dynasty. It turned out that he had the strength of a sword master. The last time the empire entered the seven principalities, it was said that our masters were also subjected to this
People’s warnings, I wonder if this is really the case?”
Nodding helplessly, Candida sighed and said: "This is the shame of the empire. If it weren't for the existence of this old monster, the seven principalities would have been taken down long ago. How could the seven principalities be without a holy magician?
Our opponents of the Lancelot Empire, we have never used the Holy Magister to fight, and it is not all because of the existence of this old monster."
Seeing Candida actually admit it, Han Shuo was shocked. He kept Stratholme firmly in his heart, and secretly thought about whether he should be more careful with the seven principalities. www.ptwxz.com
