For a chaotic organization like the Shadow Council, betrayal and being betrayed are commonplace, and killing each other is even more commonplace.
Just like the current environment, it is normal for big fish to eat small fish and small fish to eat small shrimps.
Because searching for wealth, in addition to exploring ancient ruins and other similar tasks, you can also start from one place.
Robbery!!!
This has a lot to do with the upper echelons of the Shadow Council. They grow up through betrayal and being betrayed, and become strong, just like raising poison. The weak become nutrients, and the strong become stronger.
Use a small number of elite forces to fight against the huge force of the Wizarding Kingdom.
It was very, very successful.
Everyone in the Shadow Council is an elite, there is never a playboy.
Similar to what Luther encountered in the wizarding country, there was no one like Baghdad, James, or Oscar who grew up with a golden key.
Because of the characteristics of the Shadow Council, the mercenaries who have just entered the Shadow Council will not trust anyone. For example, Newton, he has never trusted anyone.
But there are also small teams like Luther who have a group of people around them because they are strong.
Some people will always be loners, and some people will always be a small team.
Of course there will be very strong people among the Lone Ranger, but the team obviously has more advantages than the Lone Ranger.
And these eight people who took a fancy to the legendary black dragon armor on Luther were very extraordinary.
They have a nickname, hyenas.
The origin of this group seems to be a small mercenary group in the Kingdom of Drake, originally numbering eighteen people. However, the Kingdom of Drake is relatively stable, and the income of mercenaries is not high.
And the nobles monopolized wealth, which made it even more difficult for civilian knights to get ahead. So eighteen people made an appointment to join the Shadow Council and became mercenaries of the Shadow Council.
When they first entered the Shadow Council, they were all junior knights.
Because they were previously a formed mercenary group of the Drake Kingdom, they trusted each other and quickly grew in strength.
Intermediate knight, advanced knight, all the way up to the current great knight.
However, in the activities of the Shadow Council, casualties are inevitable. The number of hyenas has dropped from eighteen to the current eight. But not only have they become stronger, they have also become more cunning, stronger, and more ferocious.
Although they still trust each other, their behavior has become distorted. Hyenas are known for chasing their prey and not letting go.
As long as the prey they target is very few can escape.
Moreover, their strength is very strong, and they are all elite knights. Among them, the Wolf King and the New Feite Knight are even on the verge of becoming the Storm Knight.
The realm of a great knight is completely different from that of a senior knight, an intermediate knight, and a junior knight.
Their elites are elites. Unless they adopt the hero template, the strength of each elite knight is almost the same.
There are slight differences just because of different attributes.
So the eight of them together could even kill a titled knight easily.
The reason why they met Luther was because of luck. Their idea was exactly the same as Luther's, sneaking into the mansion area and stealing legendary items and various kinds of wealth.
They also saw that this magic city was destroyed instantly by some kind of spiritual energy. The wealth was completely preserved.
Opportunities like this are very rare.
Each of them is about to become a titled knight, and the potions they need are extremely huge. The more wealth they accumulate, the faster they can grow.
As long as the eight of them step into the title knight together and work hard to reach the top of the title knight, the eight of them should be able to compete with the weak legend.
At that time, you will have a higher status and can plunder more resources.
Upgrading is addictive.
Especially in a place like the Shadow Council. A legendary strongman like Augustus can kill low-level mercenaries at will if he is in a bad mood.
The strong will feel happy, and the weak will feel angry.
The mind is twisted, good and evil are twisted, and ultimately the pursuit of level and power reaches a perverted level.
Because of the desire for power, wealth is an indispensable resource. When the eight of them saw Luther and Miss Xenia walking struttingly on the street, of course they had murderous intentions.
This guy Luther should be one of the very few normal people in the Shadow Council. He has neither a fierce and twisted aura nor a violent and cruel look in his eyes. He looks like a young man from a noble family.
Not to mention Miss Xenia, she is an anomaly among the white dragons who are famous for their stupidity and wildness. She is a smart magic dragon, and her temperament tends to be noble or even cold.
She also looks like a noble lady.
There are no wizards among the hyenas, and the opponent's level depends entirely on experience. So they decided that these two guys were weaklings.
Maybe two big knights.
Because Miss Xenia's body is also very powerful, comparable to a human knight. They judged that Miss Xenia is also a knight.
They actually looked up to Luther. Luther was just a small elite mid-level knight, but his combat power was a bit ridiculously high.
"Boy, I'm only going to say this once. Hand over your legendary armor and all your rings, and we'll be fine." Wolf King Newfit said in a deep voice.
The Wolf King is sixty-eight years old this year.
He is not too old among the great knights, so his appearance is very young. His young and handsome appearance and tall and slender figure make him look like a noble young man.
But he was wearing magic armor, weapons, and a cloak, full of the atmosphere of the battlefield. The light shining in his eyes was only cold and ruthless.
Like a real evil wolf, it only knows how to chase its prey, but does not know any sympathy or mercy.
Anyone who knows the hyena knows that this sentence is true. This sentence of the hyena can be trusted. In other words, Luther can leave as long as he puts down his ring and the legendary black dragon armor.
And if Luther and Xenia are really the two great knights as the hyenas judged, then they should indeed do this.
"Hey!!!" Luther sighed helplessly, "This is the so-called way of walking around in the world without getting stabbed, especially in a bullshit place like the Shadow Council. I really got robbed.
"
The hyenas all frowned, and the other party answered the question incorrectly. Was this a rejection?
Wolf King Newfit winked at his seven companions and released his violent fighting spirit. He used a black knight sword with no red line, so it was not a bloodthirsty weapon.
But with the blessing of his violent fighting spirit, he exuded an edge.
It's as if the sky can be cut open.
Of course, Luther knew that this was his illusion, because according to his current state, the top knights were indeed like the sky, an existence that was difficult to reach.
But it doesn't matter, Luther is dead.
"Don't get me wrong, you want to fight my bodyguard." Luther pointed at Miss Xenia with a smile and said.
