Chapter 604: Spy
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked away. 【】
I saw a tall figure appearing behind the old man at some unknown time. When they saw this man's face clearly, the six councilors on both sides of the conference table suddenly widened their eyes and said in astonishment: "It's you?!"
It never occurred to them that they would be able to see the former elder again. Isn't he already wanted by the speaker, and he dared to appear here openly?
At this time, someone noticed that the previous elder did not come alone. In the dark behind him, there was a figure standing like a ghost. Judging from the silhouette, it seemed to be a woman, just like his shadow. Same.
The old man felt as if he was being looked down upon by a ferocious tiger, as if he would be attacked by thunder if there was any abnormality. Not only can it shake this hand away, but it can also injure this person. After all, not everyone can casually put their palms on his shoulders.
However, as soon as this force rose, he felt his shoulders suddenly sink, and the palms on his shoulders pressed down like a huge mountain, not only canceling out all the strength he had erupted, but also crushing him directly. Come over, with a bang, the legs and feet of the chair he was sitting on exploded.
With a sway of his body, he felt a slight tightness in his chest and a feeling of being out of breath.
The old man was horrified, and couldn't help turning his head to look, but saw a handsome young man's face much younger than he imagined, with an indifferent expression, black eyes that seemed to be looking at the conference table in front of him, and seemed to be looking down from a high place. he.
"Who are you?" The old man suppressed the shock in his heart and said in a deep voice.
Hearing the old man's words, the shrewd young man next to him immediately yelled, "Bastard, bring your dirty hands, who are you, dare to trespass here, you want to die..."
As soon as the word "death" was pronounced, the voice became distorted.
He was strangled by the neck, and a bald-headed strong man wearing a mask came in from outside, carrying a huge black burden on his back, strangled the boy's throat like a chicken, and said in a low voice : "Little devil, try to say what you said again?"
The boy's throat and trachea were suppressed, his face was flushed red, and he couldn't breathe. At this moment, let alone speaking smoothly, even speaking was difficult.
"Everyone, long time no see, do you miss me?" Du Dian's voice was flat, unable to hear emotions.
The six people here are all councilors of the Dark Holy See. They have experienced many battles in the friction with the Bright Holy See. How can they not see at this moment that the old man has been restrained by Du Dian, which shocked them. Since this seemingly ordinary After the old man came to power, he killed several great knights of the Holy See of Light. There was a frightening power in his body that looked like a bone, but at this moment, he was so easily restrained by Du Dian!
Thinking of the many possibilities of this person appearing here, everyone felt their scalps go numb. This person is wanted by the speaker. Since the other party dared to appear here, there is naturally the possibility of killing them!
"Elder, Elder, we all miss you very much." A middle-aged man with a beard smiled more naturally, but the stiff muscles on his face made this smile a bit forced.
"Yes, Elder, we miss you very much." Another strong man immediately echoed.
Hearing the words of the two, the seemingly calm old man felt another huge wave in his heart. He didn't expect that this young man was the missing previous elder, and he dared to appear here.
"I know everyone misses you, so I'm back." Du Dian said indifferently and naturally, "Just now I heard you mention the meeting of elders, I seem to remember that I promised half a year ago, and after half a year, I will definitely let us The ninth district became the top five districts, do you still remember?"
Hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, and the six councilors were also stunned, looking at each other.
They naturally remembered this, but after Du Dian disappeared, they took it as the latter's bragging, and didn't take it to heart.
After all, they are used to this kind of thing. When they first took office, they promised extremely high goals. The purpose was just a means to win people's hearts. next target? Unless you don't want to mess around.
"What I say always counts. I will personally attend this meeting of elders." Du Dian said calmly.
Hearing Du Dian's words, Kaqi, who was strangling the young man, couldn't help curling his lips in his heart. If he wanted to say who was the least trustworthy, in his heart, Du Dian was definitely one of them. This was definitely not a person who talked about credibility. But it's useless to get up early.
The six people looked at Du Dian in a daze, and after a while, the strong man who echoed before said cautiously: "Elder, you have been retired now, and you are no longer the elder of our ninth district. This elder meeting has always been held by elders. Participate, I'm afraid..."
"It doesn't matter." Du Dian said indifferently: "It can be like this before me, but it may not be like this after me."
The strong man was dumbfounded and speechless.
The old man was shocked when he heard Du Dian's words. From the strength Du Dian showed just now, he knew that this elder had power beyond that of a high-level hunter, and he might be able to compare with the top few monsters in the outer wall area. He really couldn't stop him from breaking into the elders' meeting.
He made a quick calculation in his mind, and said politely: "I didn't expect you to be the previous elder, it's a pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you."
"Well." Du Dian nodded slightly.
Such an attitude seemed a little arrogant. The old man was displeased, but he didn't show it. He continued, "Although you have abdicated, since you are still concerned about the Ninth District, it's okay to go with me when the time comes... ..."
Du Dian patted him on the shoulder, this action interrupted his words, Du Dian said: "You get up and talk to me first."
The old man was startled, his face was a little ugly, he held back his anger and said: "I'm getting old, in terms of etiquette, it's not rude for me to sit and talk to you!"
Hearing his words, the six people were secretly shocked, including the young man who could observe words and expressions. This is tantamount to admitting that Du Dian is stronger than him, and the weak need to respect the strong, but he is at this age, so there is no need to It's not impolite to salute.
"Don't talk about age with me." Du Dian said: "Otherwise my grandson can be your grandfather."
The old man was stunned. He didn't expect Du Dian to humiliate him so bluntly. He couldn't help clenching his fists, and his heart was full of anger. He gritted his teeth, endured the bad breath, slowly got up, and said: "Since you want to sit, then sit Bar."
Du Dian pulled out the chair, sat down at a comfortable distance from the table, leaned lightly on the chair, and crossed his legs. At this moment, everyone suddenly saw the figure of the woman standing behind him. She was covered with a black silk scarf like a scarf, covering her face, but a pair of pure black pupils with no white eyes were revealed.
When they saw her eyes, everyone suddenly felt a chilling feeling, as if they were being watched by a pair of extremely ferocious eyes.
"You, what's your name?" Du Dian turned his head to the old man standing aside.
Seeing Du Dian's superior attitude towards his subordinates, the old man was suffocated with anger, and tried not to attack, saying: "My code name is 'Shooting Wolf'."
"Who recommended you to come to the Ninth District as an elder?" Du Dian looked into his eyes, "Is it the Pope, or the elder of the monastery?"
When he heard the word Pope, the old man's face suddenly changed, and the six people on both sides of the round table were also startled, and they had an instinctive and sensitive reaction to the word.
The old man's heart was pounding. He didn't expect Du Dian to reveal his identity in one word. He was indeed infiltrated by the Pope using the Vatican's relationship network. He used to be the highest-level librarian of the Vatican and rarely showed up for many years. Even the Vatican Few people here have seen him, and it is for this reason that the Pope sent him over. Logically speaking, it is impossible for anyone to see through his identity.
He controlled his heartbeat to stabilize, and said in a cold voice: "What Pope, I was personally appointed by the speaker. Could it be that you come back this time and want to serve as the elder of the ninth district again? If so, it is useless for you to slander me. The matter of the elders can only be done with the permission of the speaker."
Du Dian stared at him, retracted his gaze, tapped his finger on the table lightly, and said: "After the elders' meeting is over, you can go to the Holy See with me. It has been many years, and I wanted to see this man a long time ago. His Excellency the Pope."
The old man's face darkened, and he scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know who we are, and go to the Holy See to throw ourselves into the trap? Or betray the Holy See and seek rewards from those hypocrites who claim to be righteous?"
Du Dian said: "In your sentence, only one word is correct."
The old man frowned, "What?"
"Begging." Du Dian said, "I'm going to beg for something."
"You!" The old man said angrily, "I won't go with you unless..."
"Unless you want to die." Du Dian said.
The old man was suffocated immediately, feeling the heavy murderous intent in Du Dian's words, he fell silent, thinking that his face project was in place, at least the suspicion of spies was removed.
"When you go to the Holy See, you are ready to die!" He sneered secretly in his heart, wishing that Du Dian would come to his door.
Du Dian ignored him, turned his head to look at the six people, and naturally saw a familiar face among the six people. It was Amy who was imprisoned by him. Unexpectedly, the great potion master came out again. This situation seems to have been reused by the wolf shooting old man.
He didn't say anything, since that was the case, and he happened to be short of manpower right now, so it would be useful to keep this man.
Seeing Du Dian's gaze, Amy's heart tightened, and she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look any further, for fear that Du Dian would still remember the hatred from last time and imprison her again in that dark, dirty dungeon.
"Everyone, I'll give you three days to rule each branch, and move all the stored money, alchemy, and potions to the headquarters." Du Dian said calmly but surprisingly.
Everyone was surprised, all the resources were concentrated in the headquarters? This... Could it be that they want to rob the savings of the entire Ninth District?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at him in astonishment. What is this man thinking, is he crazy?
Du Dian said to Hawkeye next to him: "You are responsible for this matter."
Hawkeye looked at this long-lost boy, and felt the familiar feeling in his heart come back again, but this time, he felt that this boy was a little different. First of all, his height had changed, and he was taller than before. This was something that the animal rubber mask could not change. This made him have a guess in his mind. In addition, he felt that this young man seemed to be more dangerous than before. Under that calm and indifferent face, there seemed to be a violent and ferocious soul hidden.
"Hawkeye takes orders." Hawkeye lowered his head.
Compared with working with Old Man Wolf Shooter, he still prefers to work under Du Dian. Except that he is not taken seriously under Old Man Wolf Shooter, although he is afraid of Du Dian, he has an indescribable sense of trust.
Du Dian nodded slightly, and said: "On the day of the elders meeting, I will come again, oh, yes, I should be wanted by the higher authorities for my disappearance?"
Hearing this, everyone's hearts jumped suddenly, and they became a little nervous.
Du Dian looked at the reactions of the people and got the answer. He said indifferently: "If you are interested, I don't mind everyone reporting it, but don't affect the things I have explained, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
After speaking, he turned and walked away.
Hailisha followed like a shadow.
Seeing this, Kaqi let go of his hand, and immediately followed Du Dian to leave.
Everyone watched the three of them leave, and when the footsteps were completely inaudible, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Amy immediately said to Old Wolf Shooter: "Elder, this bastard still dares to appear, let's send someone to hunt him down immediately! "
The old wolf shooter glanced at her, and slowly swept his eyes across the faces of the other people, sighed lightly, shook his head slightly, and said, "It is basically impossible to capture and kill this person with the help of our ninth district alone. gone."
Amy was stunned.
"If my guess is correct, his strength has already surpassed the level of a hunter, enough to compete with the limiter in the inner wall area!" The old wolf shooter said slowly.
Hearing his words, everyone was surprised. They didn't expect Du Dian's power to be so strong, which completely exceeded their expectations.
Amy quickly realized, gritted her teeth and said, "We can use poison. If we can't fight it head-on, then we can sneak attack, ambush, and assassinate! What's the use of strength alone? No matter how strong a person is, dare to swallow the poison I developed ?”
The old wolf shooter nodded slightly, "That's not bad, but let's leave this person to other districts to deal with. We just need to spread the news about him."
"That's good!" Amy was delighted.
After leaving the town, Du Dian took Hailisa and Kaqi on horseback and headed all the way to the direction of the castle awarded to him by the Temple of Elements.
"Master, was that the headquarters of the Dark Vatican just now? What do they mean by the Ninth District? I think the people there are all extraordinary." Kaqi was riding on the horse, unable to suppress his curiosity and asked Du Dian : "Do you want to use the power of the Dark Holy See to fight?"
Du Dian said: "Not bad."
Kaqi scratched his head and said, "Would this be too dangerous? These people from the Dark Holy See are worse than me, and I'm afraid I'll be betrayed by then."
