Defense Minister Veska was not around, the Royal Guard Captain Edin stayed in the Silver Palace, the First Concubine was still preparing for the ceremony, and Avic had completely given Garon his authority. The entire palace was under the control of Garon alone.
Actually, this was Garon following the historical scenes that he saw, to clean up the Obscuro spies in the palace. Most of those who were cleaned up were the First Concubine's spies.
But because the reasons he used were not sufficient, and he was too lazy to think of so many reasons, he found some random excuses and killed a large number of people. This caused his reputation to become worse and worse. But anyway, the Trejons Family's reputation had long been ruined, after Vanderman's experiments on living people were exposed, the entire family had no reputation to speak of. So Garon was too lazy to follow these complicated rules.
As long as Avic's Heirloom's protection was fine, then nothing would be a problem. There were plenty of guards and maids in the palace as backups. Now was a crucial time, he could not be soft, he had to completely remove the First Concubine's spies.
Once he did, Garon was shocked to find out that the First Concubine's spies were everywhere in the palace. So he ruthlessly killed, and got rid of these Obscuro spies.
Now that Prynne said it, the outside world was saying that he was scarier than a demon, Garon did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"You old friends still don't know what kind of person I am? You don't trust me, it hurts me so much. "
Prynne said worriedly.
"Actually, my grandfather also said that you are now standing on the cusp of the storm, when Veska comes back, it will be troublesome. You have to prepare early. "
"I know." Garon nodded.
"Alright, I'll leave first, those two guys are still waiting for my news. If you're free, come out and play with us, it's been a long time since we got together. "Prynne patted Garon's shoulder.
"I'll send you."
Garon sent Prynne out of the palace, and then arranged for the Black Fire Guards to send him out of the palace before returning.
It had been a while since he became the Palace Master, and the Trejons Family's businesses had also expanded rapidly along with his status.
A few days ago, Garon had raided a finance official who was seriously corrupt. He had also secretly intercepted a small portion of the man's assets, which happened to be enough to pay off all the money he owed to the child. With regards to his methods, Avic actually also turned a blind eye to it.
However, after wiping out so many spies, Garon still couldn't find out how the Obscuro Society was planning to act.
Back in the Black Fire Palace.
He sat on the dark red patterned throne of the Palace Master, crossed his fingers, and fell into deep thought.
Two rows of Black Fire Guards stood on both sides of the hall.
The Black Fire Guards were also divided into smaller groups. Those who wore heavy armor were Form 2 elites, while those who wore heavy armor and a cape were Form 3. The Black Fire Guards had a total of two hundred people. In fact, their strength far exceeded the average totem users of the same level. Most importantly, each of them were not afraid of death.
There were many Form 2 totem users in the Empire, but the ones who were truly unafraid of death were too few. Behind every totem user, there was a huge supply chain of resources, and there were large and small interest groups. When faced with a matter of life and death, there were very few people who would foolishly fight with their lives on the line.
However, the Black Fire Guards were different. They were equivalent to the suicide squad of Form 2 elite totem users. As long as Garon gave the order, they could explode with their strongest power at any time.
Even so, they weren't very useful to Avic. There were quite a number of Form 2 elite totem users in the Empire's totem army.
The real reason why the Black Fire Guards were feared was that they actually had the ability to self-destruct. Also, because of the Green Vine Sphere, their numbers could be maintained. If one was lost, another could be immediately replenished.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Green Vine Sphere could only control so many Black Fire Guards and create so many self-destruct troops, those below Form 4, even spiritualized ones wouldn't dare to fight them head on.
"Unfortunately, these people don't have consciousness …" Garon shook his head and sighed. "Looks like I have to recruit some talents who can help me manage the palace."
Calming himself down, he began to prepare his outfits. Every two days, he would go out to hunt monsters to increase his potential points, and see when he could reach the requirements to upgrade his secret technique.
Perhaps the Nine-Headed Hydra's foundation was too huge, the potential points that he had accumulated for so long had already reached more than 200 points, but his secret technique still didn't have any changes. However, this made him more and more excited. The more potential points he needed, the greater the degree of modification after upgrading his secret technique.

In a restaurant in a tall building in the Kingdom
At the round table in the milky white restaurant, two black-bearded men were sitting at the table, tilting their heads to look at the huge black palace in the distance.
It was noon, and the sky was filled with dark clouds. The sky was a little gloomy, and the thick clouds seemed to be pressing down, making people feel depressed.
The two bearded men sat at the corner, and ordered a standard meal that didn't attract any attention. People came and went around them, and the guests sat and sat, but no one noticed them.
No one noticed that the two men's lips were moving slightly, and they were actually talking to each other using a secret tactic.
"Still can't contact Eleven?"
"It's difficult." The other man, who was slightly shorter, had a troubled expression. "The most troublesome places in the palace are the Silver Palace and the Black Fire Palace. Eleven's palace is right beside the Black Fire Palace, and it's very difficult to save her! The Nine-Headed Hydra is extremely powerful, and if he finds out that something is wrong, not only will the rescue fail, but the people who go in will also not come out alive. "
"So we have to avoid that Nine-Headed Hydra. To avoid him, we have to avoid the Black Fire Guards. But the Black Fire Guards are everywhere, scattered in every corner of the palace … "The tall bearded man fell into deep thought. "Then we have to figure out who goes in and out of the palace, so that the Black Fire Guards won't investigate thoroughly!"
The other man's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Stone, you have an idea?!"
"Let's go see the situation first, maybe we have some ideas. We have to investigate the Nine-Headed Hydra's daily routine and habits. To defeat someone, we have to understand them as much as possible, that's the biggest foundation. "

Roar!!
The red dragon head disappeared in a flash.
In the barren mountains, surrounded by more than ten Black Fire Guards, Garon stepped on a rocky hill, and there were white gravel everywhere under his feet.
In the open space not far away, a bull crocodile monster finally fell to the ground slowly. Its body was more than six meters tall, and its body was pitch black, and its huge neck seemed to be bitten by something, protruding outwards.
Its head was raised high, and the blood vessels on its neck were ruptured. It was bright red, and a large amount of blood was gushing out, but just as it came into contact with the air, it seemed to be swallowed by something, and completely disappeared.
There was only the faint sound of the giant beast's throat gulping in the air.
The mark on Garon's left forehead was faintly glowing red, and as the swallowing sound disappeared, the red light gradually faded.
Bang!!
The giant beast fell to the ground. It had actually lost a lot of weight.
Garon took a white handkerchief from the Black Fire Guard beside him, and wiped his hands.
Suddenly, the ground faintly shook violently.
"Who is it! How dare you kill my Crocodile Beast first!! "A loud roar came from afar.
Garon smiled, this was already the Meteorite Mountains, far away from the Kingdom. He rode the fastest Thunder Eagle, and spent half a day to reach here. This was outside the defense line, and there were all kinds of people, big and small forces, but the monsters weren't very strong. It was perfect for training.
This was the north side of the West Farm defense line, and compared to the south, the monsters here were much stronger. There were even Form Four peak monsters in the Meteorite Mountains. And there was more than one, so even the Royal Family didn't dare to go too deep, and could only shrink the defense line.
And there were stronger areas further away, Form Four monsters, and Spiritualized monsters, and there was even a terrifying number of nests. This made it so that only the strongest could enter here.
A Crocodile Beast could give Garon five points of income, which was a good return. According to the previous standards.
A Form One totem or monster could give about 25% of the potential value, less than one point.
A Form Two was about two points, and a Form Three was about five points. Spiritualized, on the other hand, was about fifteen points.
This Crocodile Beast was only a Form Two elite, with thick skin, strong strength, and a strong resistance to non-physical attacks. It could actually give the same amount of income as a Form Three totem, so Garon definitely wouldn't let one go if he saw one.
There were many types of such thick-skinned monsters, but none of them were as good as the Crocodile Beast.
Hearing the loud roar, Garon put down his handkerchief, and looked at the sky in front of him.
Soon, a huge black shadow appeared in the gloomy sky.
It was a huge octopus monster, with dozens of tentacles that were more than a meter thick waving in all directions like long whips. The huge black octopus head was seven to eight meters in diameter, with a shriveled old man sitting cross-legged on top of it.
The old man was dressed in grey, and his eyes were fierce. The shadow of the octopus monster under him covered Garon and the others.
As they got closer, the head sized suckers on the octopus tentacles could be seen clearly.
As soon as they got within fifty meters, the black octopus suddenly retracted, and all its tentacles retracted like lightning, and its body quickly turned from black to bright red.
The expression of the old man sitting on its head changed slightly. He looked at Garon and the others with a serious expression.
"It's a powerhouse of the same level, I'm the third tower master of the Seven Night Tower, Anjiad. How should I address you?"
His tone immediately changed, and became much more polite.
"Seven Night Tower?" Garon raised his eyebrows, this was the biggest power in the Meteorite Mountains, and it was said that it was formed by a large sect and a few associations that used to live here. It was very powerful, and was known for its powerful Seven Great Defensive Tower Tactic Formation.
The north of the defensive line was getting closer to the Arctic Circle, and the temperature was getting lower. It was still okay here, but if they went further, past the Meteorite Mountains, it would be an unsuitable environment for people to live in. The lowest temperature could even reach ten degrees below zero, and it was covered in snow all year round, with endless glaciers. Although it was not as prosperous as the warm zone, there were still some hidden powers.
Totem users always had many ways to change the environment, and no one knew how many powerhouses were hidden in the Arctic Circle.
"I've long heard that the Seven Night Tower dominates the north, and is the strongest power in the Meteorite Mountains, but I didn't expect to meet a tower master powerhouse after only a dozen or so trips here. What an honor. "Garon smiled." I'm the palace master of the Kovitan Royal Guard, Black Fire Palace, Garon. "
"Kovitan? That powerful Kovitan? "The old man's eyes flashed, and asked in confusion.
"That's right."
The old man's eyes suddenly flashed. The reason why he rushed over was because the Bull Crocodile he released kept getting killed, but he couldn't catch up to the culprit. This time, he finally caught the culprit, but he didn't expect it to be a high official of the powerful Kovitan. Looking at the other party, he was obviously not a good person. The black octopus under him turned red, which meant that the other party had the ability to kill the black octopus at any time. He was obviously a powerhouse of the same level as himself.
Looking at this person again, there were so many guards around him, and each of them didn't have a strong aura, but they gave off a deadly and dangerous aura.
If he could get the help of this person in front of him …
The old man had a plan in mind.
He released the Bull Crocodile not for someone to let these little guys that he had cultivated for many years run around. Instead, he had his own important purpose.
The little guy who got the treasure of the Great Snow Mountain was well versed in concealing techniques, and had an unparalleled talent in tactical formations. He wanted to catch that little guy, but he didn't have enough manpower. The treasure of the Great Snow Mountain was useless to outsiders, so he might be able to ask this person for help, and exchange benefits.
Garon also had his own plans. Now that the Black Fire Palace was severely lacking in manpower, if he could rope in a powerful organization like the Seven Night Tower, he could greatly increase his influence and power. No matter what he did, it would be much more convenient to have a powerful force that he could mobilize.
The Trejons Family was already infamous in the Empire, but in the outer regions, no one knew about them.
If he could successfully establish a channel and friendship, it would be a huge benefit for the Trejons Family.
After all, the chaos of the Second World War was coming, even if he saved the situation at Avic's side, there wouldn't be any big changes in Ender, Daniela, or even the East Continent. Therefore, he had to continuously increase his strength and power, so that he wouldn't be hunted down by the Obscuro and Terraflor Society in the coming chaos.
