Yoniel gently stroked his gray beard, nodded and said: "No matter how I think or what investigation methods I use, I can't find the source of those massive treasures of heaven and earth."
At this point, Yoniel shrugged again and said: "That's not all. The people involved in the mercenary guild have also secretly investigated the source of the massive amounts of extraordinary equipment in the Cold Flame Kingdom many times, right? It must be the same.
Are you confused?"
After hearing the old alchemist express his doubts, Diana nodded quickly, maintaining due respect.
Although she is extremely talented and has already reached the half-step sixth level, the old alchemist in front of her is enough to compete with the gray old man, and her strength is undoubtedly unfathomable.
In the entire human world, the two old men in front of them are the ones who truly stand at the top of the pyramid of strength. They can easily destroy an army with a snap of their fingers, although this is something that even many powerful people at the national level and even royal nobles cannot do.
Know.
The mystery and rich foundation of the three neutral organizations of the human race are beyond the imagination of a monarch.
"I have to say that this Holy Lion Prince is indeed full of secrets."
The old gray eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the siege scene under the mountain with artillery fire, and said: "However, since such magical things as the arrival of countless lords from other worlds can happen, then a mysterious leader with unique skills appears among them.
It’s not surprising.”
"Yes, this Holy Lion Prince has led the Cold Flame Kingdom to a large extent beyond the original boundaries of the human world."
Yoniel's silver robe shone in the sunlight, and he echoed: "If it can cover this kind of transcendence to every corner of the human world, the future will be immeasurable."
"Yes, in this way, perhaps we and other small humans who are disdainful in the eyes of the immortal race can break through this corner and go to the wider outer world."
The gray old man's eyes were deep and he nodded and said: "In other words, from the fact that these alien lords are all human beings, this may not be a bad thing for the entire human world."
"Mr. President, aren't you worried that the Holy Lion Prince's family will dominate and become the master of the human world?"
When Durant heard this, he couldn't help blurting out a question.
"Since the Blank Age, the internal strife in the human world has almost never stopped. This has caused the death of many generals and talented men, and countless innocent civilians have died as a result, causing immeasurable losses."
The gray old eyes moved slowly on the extremely spectacular siege scene at the foot of the mountain, and responded: "Although this has promoted the martial arts in the human world to a certain extent, in the eyes of other alien races, it is just stupid internal friction.
That’s all.”
"If a true master can appear in the human world and gather the power of the entire human race to get out of this corner of the world and come into contact with more powerful alien races, human civilization will achieve unprecedented prosperity and growth."
Hui Lao's voice was calm, but revealed a touch of excitement that could not be concealed, and continued: "So again, this is not a good thing."
"But what if the Holy Lion Prince does not have the ability to become a master, but is just a foolish king intoxicated with desire?"
Durant nodded thoughtfully and immediately asked: "For the human world, this may not be prosperity, but destruction."
"That's what we need to figure out."
The gray old man's simple gray clothes rustled in the wind, and he said noncommittally: "But at least from the current point of view, this Holy Lion Prince from another world not only did not act like a tyrant, but actually showed the demeanor of a benevolent king. "
"The Holy Lion Prince did not even offend the soldiers and residents of Grim Kingdom. He is obviously deliberately retaining and gathering every bit of strength to prepare for a bigger stage."
Yoniel took over the conversation and agreed: "It seems that his ambition is obviously not just the human world. This coincides with our thoughts. Perhaps the entire human world will really be affected by this alien lord. Next, we will usher in an earth-shaking change.”
The old alchemist paused for a moment, and then added: "With his current incredible development speed, it is only a matter of time before a huge change occurs. Of course, the same goes for dominating the entire human world."
"No matter how you think about it, this is too risky. After all, we don't understand the Holy Lion Prince. To attribute the safety of the entire human world to one person is simply the craziest thing I have ever heard."
Durant's thick eyebrows furrowed and he couldn't help sighing again.
After the last meeting, although he recognized Lei Xiao's ability and courage and had some favorable impressions, it was obvious that he had not reached the level of complete trust.
"This is indeed an adventure, but the reason why we value this matter so much is not just because the Holy Lion Prince has the potential to lead the human world to break through the boundaries and go to the outside world."
Hui Lao and Yonier first looked at each other, and after seeing the tacit understanding in each other's eyes, he slowly said to Durant: "Although you have not participated in that final battle a hundred years ago. In response to the meeting, you should have heard about it, right?"
"Terminal response meeting?"
Before Durant could speak, Diana's starry eyes flickered and she immediately blurted out: "President, you are saying that the heads of the three neutral organizations of the Mercenary Guild, the Alchemist Guild and the Temple of Light gathered together to discuss the mysterious prophecy. matter?"
"To be more precise, it is to discuss the response measures to the "cataclysm"."
The gray old man nodded slightly and affirmed: "Ever since the prophecies left by the first batch of human ancestors after this blank era were analyzed in ancient books, we began to look for clues in this regard. After all, after the blank era, In a hundred years, the three major neutral organizations have not yet been born, which happens to be in our knowledge blind spot."
"Through the frank exchange of information at that meeting, we finally fully confirmed that although we do not know the specific content of the "catastrophe", those fortune-tellers who tried to further pry into the truth have all fallen into irrecoverable madness, but it is certain Yes, the "catastrophe" will indeed happen, and it will happen one day in a hundred years."
A look of solemnity appeared on the gray old face, and he said seriously: "In other words, until today, I am already very close to the "catastrophe"."
"Although the specific content of the "catastrophe" is still a mystery, what is certain is that it will be a terrible disaster that will sweep the entire world."
Yoniel slowly took a deep breath, his old eyes full of solemnity, and added: "According to the information collected by three neutral organizations including us, the prophecies all point to one point, that is, this mysterious disaster can even be devastating.
Compared with the unknown catastrophe in the blank era."
"What?!"
Hearing the sound, Diana and Durant couldn't help but look at each other. It was obviously the first time they heard this statement.
After a moment, Diana looked at Old Hui and said in disbelief: "President, why have I never heard you mention this?"
"Even the three major neutral organizations haven't found any solution together, so what's the use of telling you juniors?"
Hui Lao shook his head helplessly and sighed: "If the intensity of the "Great Cataclysm" is really comparable to that of the Blank Era, then even the more powerful immortal races such as the Elves and Winged Humans will not be able to survive.
What’s more, it’s me and other humans?”
"So, if the Holy Lion Prince can really lead the human world to break through the boundaries, maybe the human world can get a glimmer of hope in the face of that unpredictable disaster."
Yoniel's old eyes exuded the brilliance of wisdom, and he took over the words and said: "This is the main reason why we have always let the Holy Lion Prince go, and we have not even refused to cooperate with him."
"So that's the case. No wonder the Temple of Light claimed that the Holy Lion Prince was the source of evil, and we didn't give the former any help."
Durant's resolute face was full of shock, and he nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, in his heart, Lei Xiao's position has obviously risen a lot, almost to the point of being unshakable.
After being shocked, Durant couldn't help but wonder: "Since the Holy Lion Prince is so important, it is impossible that the Temple of Light, which also participated in the meeting, was not aware of this. Why did the other party try to kill the Holy Lion Prince?
?”
"This is also where I am confused."
The gray old man looked at each other with Yoniel again, and then frowned and said: "Naganilon IX has a withdrawn and elusive character. He put forward many incredible views at the meeting a hundred years ago, which made the two of us
I beg to differ.”
"Yes, since he ascended the throne of the Pope, the entire Temple of Light has become more and more mysterious. But mystery is mystery. The Temple of Light is still performing its corresponding duties, and we have never found it.
Any clues."
Yoniel pondered for a moment and frowned: "Perhaps he just has a perverse personality and is difficult to figure out, or maybe he is planning something secretly. For example, the Black Abyss Brotherhood is really his minions."
At this point, Yoniel gave Hui Lao another meaningful look. Although he did not continue to speak, the meaning was self-evident.
"Hey, old guy, don't you also suspect that I am the mastermind behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood?"
Hui Lao immediately understood the look in the old alchemist's eyes and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "We have such a tacit understanding, I thought you had completely believed in me."
"It's always right to be cautious. With the size of the Mercenary Guild, it's easy to support a Black Abyss Brotherhood, right? And you, an old guy, talk about some big mission every day. It's so mysterious that it's hard not to
It makes people think crookedly.”
Yoniel stared at the old mercenary president expressionlessly, and said calmly: "Besides, I'm afraid you have always doubted me, right?"
"In terms of mystery, your Alchemy Square Tower is no less than the Holy City that has been closed for hundreds of years."
The gray old wrinkled eyes narrowed slightly and he said noncommittally: "Anyway, only three neutral organizations such as myself can do this. Since it is not my always upright mercenary guild, it is naturally your Alchemist Guild and the Temple of Light.
One."
"It sounds better when you say it than when you sing it. Who knows if you, old guy, are just shouting about thief and catching thief, and you are playing some shameful tricks secretly."
Yoniel glanced at the old president and hummed: "Anyway, you old guy is very slippery, and everyone knows this."
Seeing this scene, Diana and Durant on the side couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment.
They originally wanted to ask, if the Holy Lion Prince is so important to the human world, why the Mercenary Guild and the Alchemist Guild are still firmly entrenched, and no one is willing to officially help.
Now, the situation could not be more obvious.
It turns out that everyone is suspicious of each other, and no one can get rid of their own suspicions, so they naturally choose to stand aside in case they are suddenly stabbed in the back by the other party.
In other words, at least until the true identity of the mastermind behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood is known, the Mercenary Guild and the Alchemist Guild will never take action and will only sit back and watch.
Just when Diana thought of this, Hui Lao smiled lightly and said leisurely: "Vice President, it seems that you have understood the purpose of my appearance here. As for the reason why I can't wait to take action, it is naturally if the Saint
The Lion Prince can't even compete with the Temple of Light, so how can he bring hope to the human world?"
"Actually, you want to find clues about the Black Abyss Brotherhood in the battle between the Holy Lion Prince and the Temple of Light, right? No matter who is the mastermind behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood, they will never let go of this attack on the Holy Lion Prince.
Perfect timing.”
Yoniel glanced at the old president and said calmly: "He is really a cunning old guy."
"Old guy, why don't you?"
Hui Lao glanced at the disdainful old alchemist and shot back.
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
On the top of the towering mountain, although both of them looked smiling, it was obvious from the energy fluctuations surrounding them that they were both ready to go and were still guarding against each other.
.
However, only a moment later, the two old strong men looked sharply at the siege battlefield below the mountain top.
Noticing this strangeness, Diana and Durant immediately followed their gazes and discovered that a thin mist that was constantly churning suddenly appeared out of thin air, and soon completely enveloped the entire battlefield.
In the blink of an eye, the mist was so thick that it was almost impossible to see.
"Is it an illusion?"
Diana was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized what she was doing.
"The Chief Cardinal Gusta of the Temple of Light can be called the strongest illusionist in all human nations. It seems that the Temple of Light has officially taken action."
The gray old man's eyes were piercing, and he said: "Judging from the intensity of this illusion spell, I'm afraid even I can't see through it easily. It is indeed well-deserved."
After Hui Lao finished speaking, although Yoniel did not speak, his eyes were full of solemnity.
"So, isn't the Holy Lion Prince extremely dangerous?"
Diana frowned and continued to stare at the thickening fog below the mountain. ()
