In the Kingdom's capital, the rain was falling, wetting the eaves of the aristocratic mansions.
In the drizzling rain, many aristocratic mansions were doing the same thing, repairing their houses.
The crater was filled by the Earth Mages and the destroyed buildings were rebuilt. The injured Transcendents found a secluded spot outside the mansion and slowly licked their wounds.
The single-door Marquis' mansion was not like the previous aristocrats. This time, they didn't hide it, and the news quickly spread.
The aristocratic group, led by Marquis Henry, once again raised the strength of the Black Robe Organization.
"That guy with the codename 'Pygmy' is a bit scary. It's said that all the transcendents, including the single-door Marquis, fell into the illusion."
"The most terrifying thing is the dominance of the illusion on the transcendents. For example, although we can easily crush the awakening rank, it's also troublesome to deal with if there are a large number of people and they scatter and escape. But that 'Pygmy' powerhouse can control that group of elite guards in an instant."
"Then the question is, do we need to change the codename 'Pygmy'?"
"What a joke! How can we be threatened by the enemy! Even if she's strong, even if her illusion can control us silently … why don't we change it? "
"The codename 'Pygmy' really doesn't match the mysterious person. I think it's better to change the codename to 'Rat'."
"Why?"
"Squeak, isn't it the sound of a rat?"
"Wonderful!"
"Agreed!"
"The codename 'Rat' is too appropriate."
… …
Tree Shade's secret foundation.
Bamboo Rat Oguri had just returned from ransacking a mansion.
The news of Marquis Henry's party came two hours ago.
Glancing at the information in his hand, Tang Yu was speechless.
Fanny was speechless.
Shea was speechless.
Bamboo Rat Oguri: "…"
Her cheeks bulged, and her eyes widened as she glared at the information in front of her. "I'm a bamboo rat, not a mouse, vole, or groundhog! That's not right, I'm a bamboo rat, not a bamboo rat! "
Tang Yu felt the orange light of anger on top of Bamboo Rat Oguri's head. But to be fair, the efficiency of Bamboo Rat Oguri's operation this time was quite high, wasn't it?
It had only been a few hours since she knew the code name "Dwarf". Bamboo Rat Oguri had used her illusion to intimidate the group of nobles and make them change her code name.
"This is a strategic victory. You should be happy." Tang Yu touched the bamboo rat's head and smiled.
Xiao Li's anger subsided, and she put on a long face, feeling very wronged.
"Ahem."
Tang Yu turned his eyes back to the information in front of him and turned to the next page.
It wasn't just about the code name of the bamboo rat Chestnut, it wasn't even worth mentioning. (Bamboo Rat Oguri:???)
"About Black … About our deeds have already spread within a small circle. More and more nobles know about this matter. Some nobles are secretly forming an alliance …"
"Then wouldn't we be able to catch them all in one fell swoop?" Bamboo Rat Oguri waved her small fist.
Tang Yu shrugged, "If it's just an alliance, it won't be a big problem. But many nobles have already moved the items in the Treasury, including the World Tree branch. Even if we can find the new hiding place of the treasures through illusion and other means, if these treasures are scattered everywhere and looted … it'll be very troublesome to collect them.
What's more, many precious items have been moved by the Transcendents themselves or hidden in the storage ring they carry with them. Those Transcendents have probably abandoned their mansions and have gone into hiding. In this case, it'll be very difficult for us to find the World Tree branch. "
He walked out of the mountain and came to the field outside, looking in the direction of the Royal City.
Spreading out his personal domain, he could faintly see the sky above the capital. Wisps of 'human aura' were constantly rising and being absorbed at a certain moment. The feeling of disharmony in the Royal City was getting heavier and heavier.
There were still a few days before the sacrificial ceremony. But under the control of the royal family, a lot of 'nutrients' had been gathered. The Great Sage speculated that this sacrificial ceremony was likely to be the last straw that broke the World Tree's back. But he was worried that the World Tree would die before the sacrificial ceremony even started.
Then what's the point of playing!
He had to speed up.
… …
At the same time.
Duke Merton's mansion.
This mansion had a very long history. It had existed almost since the early days of the Royal City.
Duke Merton's ancestor might not have been the first duke to be conferred a title by the royal family, but it was the duke's family with the longest history. It was also the strongest among the three great dukes in the Royal City.
In the Aino Kingdom, it had its own faction.
But at this moment, Duke Merton's face was ashen.
"Black Robe Organization, what a Black Robe Organization!"
He raised his eyebrows, and wisps of his aura spread out. The entire mansion fell into a deathly silence. Whether it was the old butler standing behind the Duke or the guards outside, they all held their breaths, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Crack.
Bam!
The office desk made of high-quality wood finally could not withstand the aura, and it shattered into countless pieces.
Duke Merton had also just found out about the Black Robe Organization. His loyal subordinate, a single marquis, had been robbed in a moment of carelessness.
"Tell me about the situation."
The old butler said, "All the Transcendents in the single marquis's mansion have their mental strength injured. This is more troublesome than physical injuries. I'm afraid they won't be able to recover in a short period of time.
"Also." The old butler thought for a moment and told everything he knew, "Marquis Ill, Earl Lanqing … Our faction suffered the most serious damage in the Black Robe Organization incident."
Duke Merton's eyes flashed, and his terrifying aura instantly lifted the roof cover.
At this moment, he thought of the Tree Shade Entertainment City.
The time they appeared was almost the same as the Black Robe Organization … It must be those people.
He felt that his actions must have provoked the other party's revenge. And those people's strength was more terrifying than he imagined.
However, Duke Merton didn't know that the reason why his faction suffered the most serious damage was because … his faction's aristocratic members had a long history. In other words, they were relatively rich. This was the first criterion for the intelligence department to select targets.
When the duke's anger slowly subsided, the old butler hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and said, "Duke, according to the Black Robe Organization's methods, it's very likely that they will attack our mansion. Should we take some countermeasures?"
Duke Merton pondered for a moment, "Recall the Transcendents guarding outside and secretly contact our faction's experts. If they don't come, it's fine. But if they dare to come …"
"Yes."
The old butler hesitated for a moment and finally responded.
Originally, the countermeasures he was referring to was to move away some precious treasures and hide them. But after thinking about it, with the Duke's temper, he would never agree.
The power of the Duke's Mansion was already far above the Marquis's Mansion. Coupled with the temporarily summoned experts, this mansion would become the Black Robe Organization's graveyard.
…
On the other side.
The palace.
In the dim main hall.
"Recently, some foreign experts have appeared in the capital city. Do you need me to take care of them?" A figure asked.
Another figure on the throne slowly said, "It's fine. It's just a group of greedy people. The most important thing now is to make good use of this sacrificial ceremony and devour the World Tree in one fell swoop. It'll be a waste of time to wait for the next time.
As long as we devour the World Tree, we can devour the last strand of the world's origin. At that time, the natives of this world will also die. And we, as the ones who lead the destruction of this world, will surely receive a very generous reward from the great ruler. "
(Emmmmm …)
