Instantly, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to have changed subtly. All the elders looked interested. Even Ivycius, who had his eyes closed all this while, opened his eyes at this moment and looked at the three disciples who had stepped forward.
Two of them were the two grandmasters that Garen had recruited as his disciples, while the other was a young boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old. This kid was different from the other two. Although he was equally respectful, he tried his best to raise his head and meet Garon's gaze. Even though this persistence made him tremble all over, and he was sweating profusely after just ten seconds. But he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Who is Ansapello?" Garon asked calmly, but his gaze was already locked onto this kid whose face was getting paler and paler.
"It's that kid who refuses to bow his head no matter what." Wukang couldn't help but laugh. Instantly, the hall was filled with kind laughter.
"I heard that you were meditating under my statue, and threatened to surpass me?" Garon didn't smile at all. His tone instantly affected the atmosphere in the hall, and the laughter of the other elders slowly quieted down.
This pale-faced kid still stubbornly raised his head. His originally short brown hair was already drenched in sweat and stuck to his forehead. Sweat stains could be faintly seen on his clothes, but he had no intention of bowing his head.
"Yes …!" He gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words. Under the pressure of Garon's gaze, although the other party didn't have any intention of pressuring him, he was born with an extremely sensitive sense of danger. This was a talent, and this talent allowed him to travel thousands of miles and escape death countless times before finally arriving at Kovitan and joining the Black Swamp Palace.
And now, this talent had become his biggest burden. This sense of danger made him tremble all over, as if his body and mind were about to collapse. It was as if he was underwater and wanted to float up due to lack of oxygen, but there were aquatic plants and whirlpools below his feet that were holding him back.
This extremely strong sense of suffocation almost made him want to bow his head and surrender.
Whoosh …
The kid seemed to have heard the sound of the tide receding, and the pressure around him suddenly decreased. His whole body swayed slightly, and he almost fell to the ground. The Senior Martial Brother beside him secretly helped him up before he could regain his footing.
Obviously, Garon had discovered the reason why he was trembling, so he took the initiative to restrain his aura and waves, which allowed the little guy to return to normal.
"Good … Very good!!" Everyone could see the smile on Garon's face. He did not hide the admiration in his eyes for this little fellow. "For the fourth level of the Black Water True Technique, you will need to exchange for it with mission merits. The Black Swamp Palace will not teach it to you for free. The first three levels are the most basic benefits for a disciple, but after you enjoy the benefits, you will naturally have obligations that you must fulfill. The fourth floor requires you to complete a certain number of missions in exchange for merit points. Furthermore, it is not allowed to be spread to others. Is there a problem? "
"Of course!" The young man replied loudly, panting heavily. "You're trying to tell us that we should pay for everything we've gained. You want to tell us that!"
"Go and rest." Garon waved his hand, and the maids beside him immediately came forward to support the young man, bringing him down.
Garon's attitude caused a change in the attitude of the entire Black Swamp Palace's upper echelons. Most of the elders were still kind, and only the Seven Night Tower's Heavenly Lady looked unhappy, but she did not say anything. It was probably because the little fellow had offended her.
Garon did not care about her. The palace was not a monolithic block, and there would be some undercurrents between them. He did not care, as long as it did not exceed a certain limit, everything could be seen as a setback and training for the members of the palace.
Next, the Four Way Sky Generals in charge of various affairs came forward to report the relevant situations. Although these situations had already been calculated and given to Lala to organize, now that they were reporting in detail, there were still some details to be added.
The Four-way Sky Generals were top-notch combat geniuses who were directly selected from the outside. They had passed the test of aptitude and endurance. In the short two months after Garen left, two of these four positions had been challenged by challengers and the candidates had changed. The challengers were from the prodigy training camp, and the prodigy training camp was made up of the elites who stood out from a large number of normal students. These elites would then be the candidates for the Four Way Sky Generals and the core students.
The entire Black Swamp Palace had already established a complete system.
The entire Black Swamp Palace was divided into five levels.
The first level was the Palace Master.
The second level was the Elders, Head Manager Lala, and the Technique Hall, the three powers were equal.
The third level was the core students, the Four Way Sky Generals, the teachers of the prodigy training camp, the totem users, and the managers of the external industries.
The fourth level was the prodigy students.
The fifth level was the lowest, and was the normal students. They were only one level higher than normal guards, maids, and the palace's staff.
Among these five levels, just at the fourth level, the genius students of the Black Swamp Palace already had countless connections with the outside world. The students who were ranked at the top had already become the future investment targets of various factions in the outside world, and these students had more or less gathered forces of various sizes behind them.
The power of the entire Black Swamp Palace was like a giant spider web, covering the entire Kingdom, and was quickly spreading towards the entire shelter.
This had already formed a large interest group with the Black Swamp Palace as the core, and Garon was at the very top.
The Four Way Sky Generals came forward to report on the situation of the various missions. The Black Armored Guards had already changed from the original Black Fire Guards to the current Black Swamp Guards. These Black Swamp Guards were even stronger than before. With the Four Way Sky Generals working together, and the power of their subordinates, they were completely comparable to four peak form four totem users. Although this was the result of using various methods and not caring about sacrifices, but from this, one could see the terrifying power of the Green Vine Sphere. To be able to make a normal person become such a top expert, the Green Vine Sphere was indeed Vanderman's greatest achievement in his life.
Garon listened carefully from above. The Four Way Sky Generals were in charge of negotiating with external forces. They had two hundred people, and with the totem users recruited from the outside, they had already increased to close to eight hundred people. They were the largest force in the entire Black Swamp Palace.
These people were also in charge of maintaining the safety of the Black Swamp Palace's industries, going out to hunt for various materials and mutated monsters, patrolling the outside, teaching invaders a lesson, carrying out troublesome missions and so on. They could be considered as the cornerstone of the entire Black Swamp Palace.
This force was what Garon was most assured of, because the Green Vine Sphere only recognized him. The power of these Black Swamp Guards all came from the Green Vine Sphere, so this was also the greatest wealth that Vanderman had left him.
One by one, the Sky Generals reported on the situation they had grasped. Very quickly, it was the third West Sky General who came forward.
"Regarding the Poison Hag totem user that we have imprisoned in the Secret Service, I wonder how we should deal with her?" The West Sky General's voice was crisp. It was actually a young girl, and she was also a genius student who had recently won a challenge.
"Poison Hag?" Garon rubbed his chin. He also remembered the poison expert from the Secret Service who had clamored to poison him to death. When he was still at the headquarters, that guy was extraordinarily arrogant, but now that he had been captured by the Black Swamp Guards, there was nothing he could do. Especially since the higher the level of the Black Water True Technique, the stronger the resistance to poison would be. After all, this was an imitation of the Nine-Headed Hydra's blood circulation route. Although it had been modified and perfected for human use, it did not completely lose its original effects.
Although it was not as good as Garon's near immunity to poison, it still gained an extremely strong resistance to poison. For a poison type totem user like the Poison Hag, it was simply a natural nightmare.
"Is there any news from the Secret Service?" Garon was still more concerned about the attitude of the old superior who had protected him back then.
"The Vice Minister of the Secret Service sent someone to inquire about the reason for the capture, and then didn't send anyone else over." The West Sky General replied respectfully.
"Then kill her. It's best to first dig out the totem inheritance from her mouth before making a move. That shouldn't be a problem, right? "Garon nodded.
"Your subordinate understands." The West Sky General retreated respectfully.
The North Sky General stepped forward and continued to report.
"In the area of defense resources under your subordinate's control, there has been a small scale depletion of mineral resources recently. Some mineral veins that should have been abundant have mysteriously depleted, and we don't know the reason for it. Your subordinate has investigated in private, but there's nothing. "
"Mineral veins depleted?" Garon frowned. "Who else has investigated?"
"Elder Skyharp as well." The North Sky General replied respectfully.
Garon looked at Skyharp, and she nodded lightly, indicating that she had a certain level of confidence.
"Leave it to the Technique Hall to investigate. Elder Skyharp, I'll have to trouble you with this."
"That's what I should do. The Nine Snakes System has been in operation for some time now. It's not bad to earn some merit points. "Skyharp smiled.
Garon nodded. For the matter to reach him, it was obvious that his subordinates had tried many times, but to no avail. Only then did they submit it to him.
"I'll be staying in the palace for a period of time this time. The general affairs will be handled by Lala, and the major matters can be discussed and decided by Elder Ivycius and Blizzard. Alright, now everyone return to their respective duties. Master Kling An, please bring me to take a look at the Nine Snakes System. "
"It's my pleasure." Kling An hurriedly stood up.
Garon was the first to stand up and leave. Kling An brought his two apprentices and followed him. Only then did the rest leave.
The Nine Snakes System was a new generation management system that Kling An had improved upon by combining the original Royal Totem System. It established a new operating system, using a virtual unit called merit points as the core of everything.
Anyone who contributed to the Black Swamp Palace would be converted into specific merit points and recorded. These merit points could be used to exchange for anything, whether it was totems, knowledge, resources, information, equipment, techniques, or even military employment or human trafficking.
Of course, these were only things that could be exchanged in theory. In reality, there weren't many things that could be exchanged now. Most of them were the large batch of goods that Garon had obtained from the Royal Treasure Vault. These items were used as starting funds to attract disciples, students, and Sky Generals to continuously contribute to the palace. They could obtain resources, inheritances, knowledge, treasures and so on from the outside world. Those that were not suitable for themselves could be given to the palace to exchange for merit points, and then used to exchange for things that the palace had and needed.
This was an optimized allocation of resources. Master Kling An had asked the people in the Technique Hall to organize all the complete totem inheritances, and obtained a total of thirteen high-end inheritance systems, using them as one of the foundations of the Black Swamp Palace.
"Thirteen totem inheritances?" Garon was deep in thought. "That's good too. After the Black Water True Technique reaches the fourth level and activates the totem user's potential, students will have to choose their own suitable inheritances and continue to work hard. The system that is organized like this will not only cultivate knowledge about totems, but also information about the various resources needed for evolution, as well as the experience of cultivating detailed techniques. As expected of Master Kling An, you've built the most solid foundation for the entire Black Swamp Palace. "
Kling An hurriedly waved his hands.
"You flatter me, Palace Master. If not for your generosity, taking out all the inheritances from your personal treasure vault as starting funds, the Nine Snakes System might not have been able to operate smoothly. I'm just doing what I should do. "
"Let's go, let's take a look at the core of the Nine Snakes." Garon nodded.
