I didn't argue with Conrad anymore because of this, so I acquiesced to his proposal.
After a day's flight, the group arrived at a mansion within the City of Seven Hills, which Conrad had prepared in advance for this trip. It was a large place with many rooms, enough to accommodate all the people accompanying this trip, and satisfy everyone.
Private behavior. At the same time, this location is very convenient for traveling to the Holy See.
Hilda came with her and chose to live on campus directly, staying away from the family. She already knew what happened. These were a group of arrogant fools, and there would be no benefit in having too close contact with them. The school was just a place
Although the transaction exceeded original expectations, it was not considered a favor.
After settling in, Conrad summoned all the men who came with him, including the butler and guard captain, as well as dozens of men brought by the family, and the newly recruited seven Lucian people. He told them his plan. He wanted to
Accept missions in the Eighth Knights, thereby raising their level in the Knights and becoming a captain. People at this level can apply to join the Holy Knights. Many rewards are promised to them.
In Luoou, being able to become a member of the Holy See is the same thing as ordinary people in the East entering the establishment. It is something that everyone yearns for, but may not be able to achieve. Originally, Conrad's men chose to ignore this promise and thought more
Reality. They are just slaves. The master can become a member of the Holy Knights and his identity will not change. However, if he does things well, he may get a more advantageous identity, and the resources he obtains at that time can move up one or two levels.
However, Zavali and a few others watched indifferently. How could a trainee knight get them the status of the Holy See? They are not that easy to deceive. They are just an employment relationship. How to deal with the relationship between them will require further contact.
, depending on the benefits Conrad promised them. Now
It’s just using money to do things. How about using external forces to seize the power in your own family? For a family head, it is really a very despicable method. Generally, it is a trick used by family members who are not taken seriously, using interests and pressure to gain power.
In exchange for recognition and support from family insiders.
And they don't understand why Conrad, as a nobleman, is so eager for status in the Holy See?
Money is just a number to the rich. What they pursue is a certain desire in their hearts. So what is Conrad pursuing? After so many years of crawling in the underground world, they understand that there is no team with a clear goal and inner purpose.
, not worth following. Let’s just say that in some countries on the American continent, some drug forces have huge amounts of money and elite armed forces, but their leaders are still changing. In addition to the cruelty of the organization, there are also reasons
Without a clear and reasonable purpose, it will not last long.
Finally, Conrad said that he would take on some tasks such as hunting down thieves and let them prepare.
After a long talk, Conrad let them leave and took the butler and guard captain to pick up the mission. The seven newly recruited people walked together unconsciously.
Upton asked his own question: "Going to the Eighth Knights to accept a mission? It feels no different from mercenaries like us who are looking for an agency!"
"Yes, the eighth, ninth, and tenth orders of knights are more like mercenary organizations and cannot be confused with the seven holy knights. These knights are more like offices set up by the Holy See in various places. Knights
The members of the group are employees they hired." Liang Zhen began to trust a few people.
Sure enough, several people's eyes were focused on him, and they couldn't help feeling that Lucian was indeed an expert in intelligence collection, and he also had information in this area.
"The Holy See is roughly divided into two systems, the clerical system and the knightly system. The sacred system consists of thirteen cardinals, which constitute the highest authority, the Holy Church. The knightly system consists of the current heads and legions of the seven holy knights.
The Holy Light Society is formed, and the highest person in charge of the two organizations is the Pope.
The clergy system requires entering into the hierarchy of the divine bishop, including trainee priests, pastors, deacons, elders, bishops, archbishops, and cardinals. They serve the Lord wholeheartedly and exclude external worldly influences.
The Holy Knights are very mysterious, and there is no way for the outside world to know about the internal personnel. It is known that there are only two ways to enter, to select combatants within the clergy system, and the other is to accumulate reputation in the remaining knights, reach a certain level, submit an application, and pass
after entering the sacred
Knights become apprentice knights. And this is the path our employer has chosen.
The Eighth Knights are stationed in the Holy See and are responsible for the management of the Holy See and surrounding areas, so you can understand why he went to pick up the Eighth Knights to take over the mission. It is also because it is close to the Holy See and there are large-scale Warcraft in the surrounding areas.
It has been cleared, so there are no war or hunting missions here. Depending on the ability of the employer, the family power is used to do some work of catching prisoners."
The smiles on their faces were not obvious. Judging from Lucian's introduction, they already knew that this employer was ambitious and talented and did not "disdain" to go to such fierce and dangerous battlefields. However, several people discovered another side of Lucian.
, once talking about intelligence, there is no such cowardice anymore.
"When you said that, I remembered that I once participated in a war in the central region. At that time, I met a very good team, similar to mercenaries. They were very young and wanted to invite me to join.
.But because I was in the army and wanted to return to normal life after retirement, I refused.
Absolutely. I lost track of them not long after that. I just heard some mercenaries say that they were absorbed into some kind of Holy Knights. At that time, I thought it was some kind of terrorist organization. Now that I think about it, they should have accepted the mission in a certain Knights.
." Upton said, he is the only person here who has participated in the war.
"That should be it. The Vatican selects talents. Different systems focus on different things, and different departments of the clergy have different requirements for faith and magic. The Knights value all abilities related to combat. So the more war-frequent areas, the more
Easily attracted the attention of the Knights."
Mante Qiu said frivolously: "Leave the basics behind for the last!"
Seeing everyone's eyes turned to him, he immediately raised his hands in surrender: "Don't look at me like that, I have no idea!"
"It seems that we will have to rely on you from now on, Lucien." It was Vernal who spoke, and his words were recognized by everyone.
Some of them are good at on-site trace tracking and on-site intelligence extraction, but these all require a clear target, and this depends on Lucian. His powerful intelligence collection ability can help them narrow down the scope of their targets, and their abilities can only be used
superior.
In an office in the Holy See, a relatively young man sat in a chair, looking at documents and listening to reports from his subordinates.
"Haha, the son of my mediocre elder brother is still so shameless."
The man's face is somewhat similar to that of Jefferson, but his face is younger and his expression is more energetic. He is Conrad's third uncle, Cecil Javier. The subordinates on the side know the appropriateness. This is not something he can do.
The conversation was messy and he didn't answer the conversation easily.
"Speaking of which, my eldest brother is not as good as Jefferson and I in terms of strength and intelligence. He is said by the family to be a mediocre eldest son if it were not for the protection of the system. But as the head of a noble family, he is qualified to protect and maintain the family business. It is a pity that he was born
You want such a short-sighted guy who is eager for quick success and short-sightedness. The Eighth Knights!? You have to go to a regiment that has the lowest status even among foreign knights, ugh!" Cecil sighed.
The subordinate asked in confusion: "I remember that your hometown belongs to the Ninth Knights. There are a lot of war missions and cleanup missions that can enhance your reputation and class. Why would your nephew go far away and come to the Eighth Knights?
Just do some small tasks to catch criminals."
"Because this is the center of the entire Divine Bishop, the seat of the Holy See. It can be said that this is the intelligence center of the entire Luo Ou supernatural side. He can meet many noble people, which is conducive to him hugging a strong thigh. With his arrogant
His character was such that he would not go with those lowly warriors and get covered in dust on the battlefield. He had always looked down upon his father, especially the war experience, which he considered very disgraceful."
"Hmph, doesn't he know that you are the thickest thigh of the Javier family in the Holy See? The greatest honor of a knight is to gallop on the battlefield and show the greatest dignity." The subordinate said disdainfully.
He and other friends have all been on the battlefield, and what they despise the most are people who appear to be noble, but are actually dark and dirty inside. Maybe they go to the battlefield and see the corpses and blood, and they are so scared that they pee their pants. But after all, they are
He won't reveal too much about the adult's family...
"Yes! So at that time
He showed outstanding talent in the Knights, but he was never recognized by the Holy Knights, so he resented me as an uncle. Haha, don’t think about it carefully, is it so easy to get into the Holy Knights? Is it just him?
How can such a character be worthy of joining the Holy Knights?" As if thinking of something embarrassing, he shook his head and turned to other topics, "Have you investigated the previous assassination incident?"
When it came to business, the subordinate calmed down and said seriously: "Although there is no definite evidence, all the clues found now point to that one person. And when your junior arrives, it seems that that one's subordinates are ready to make a move."
"Keep an eye on them and act immediately if there is any movement, do you understand?"
"yes!"
"Where is my nephew now?"
"Latest news, we are on our way to the headquarters of the Eighth Knights."
"Come on, it's time for me to meet my useless nephew. I haven't seen him for several years. I don't know what has become of him. I'm actually looking forward to it!"
