Chapter 316 I Am Willing to Accept Your Gift
In a dark room, only one candle brings light.
As if he was afraid that Ryan would not understand the meaning, "Bone Butcher" Delio quickly explained: "The 'Black Tide' is a huge intelligence organization with members from all four continents. There is almost nothing they don't know about."
"At the same time, although Kuroshio's fees are expensive, they are very honest and have never leaked any customer information."
"You know this guest very well." The short crypt elf Old Huck chuckled: "Sit down, what information are you going to buy?"
Lane was noncommittal.
He sat down at the round table, and the two women sat next to him. As for the "Bone Butcher" Delio, he stood humbly aside.
This scene fell in Old Huck's eyes, causing him to narrow his eyes slightly and realize the status gap between the three. He immediately focused his attention on the leader, Ryan.
Among the four people present, the only one he could perceive was the "Bone Butcher" Delio, who knocked on the door in the first place.
As for the other three, it was a blur.
What this means is self-evident.
"So, this guest, what kind of information do you want to know?" Old Huck asked cautiously.
Ryan smiled, the space ring in his hand flashed with light, and a high-purity crystal appeared in his hand.
This thing comes from the true god-level sea monster that Cecilia killed on the way, and is the crystallized core of its energy.
"Is this enough as payment?"
Old Huck's pupils shrank, but he did not reach out to take it: "The customer must first tell his request, so that I can estimate it."
"The golden ceremony, what exactly is it?"
"..." Beads of sweat broke out on Old Huck's forehead, and he suddenly felt that the crystal core in the opponent's hand became even hotter: "This information has exceeded the level of the token you presented. I'm sorry that I can't tell you."
"Oh?" Ryan smiled and slowly stood up. Deep in his eyes, dark green light was about to emerge.
Since the other party didn't want to cooperate, he didn't mind using the "Thread of Sloth" to control them forcefully.
"But since you have asked, my lord, it would be disrespectful for the 'Black Wave' not to provide information."
Before Ryan could make a move, Old Huck on the opposite side said with a change of tone.
Seeing Ryan sitting down again, Old Huck breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not very strong, and his frontal combat power is at the bottom of the bottom at the same level, but he has super crisis sensing ability.
It is precisely because of this talent that he has climbed to where he is now.
And just now, as soon as he said the words of rejection, the alarm bell in his heart beat wildly, to a degree that he had never seen before.
Therefore, old Huck chose to follow his heart.
As for the rules?
Bullshit rules, people are almost gone, there is no point in following the rules!
Ryan looked at the old crypt elf whose attitude suddenly changed with interest. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he made a gesture to indicate that he should continue talking.
Old Huck took a breath without leaving a trace: "The Golden Ceremony is related to the Golden Sect. At the same time, it is also a scandal that the four empires do not want to spread."
scandal?
Ryan became interested.
"The Golden Ceremony, although it has a nice name, is essentially the means by which the Golden Sect controls the four empires."
"Every ten years, the Golden Sect will select a chosen one from the royal families of the four empires. The male will be the Golden Son, and the female will be the Golden Princess. Without exception, they are all the most talented among the contemporary royal families. The outstanding one.”
"These people will be branded with gold and be connected to the Golden Holy Church on the day of the golden ceremony."
"Ten years later, after the next batch of chosen ones are selected and connected, the previous batch of chosen ones will be sent back."
"This rule has been implemented since the founding of the four empires. Today, the number of golden sons and golden princesses within the four empires has been extremely exaggerated."
"What's more important is that these golden sons and golden princesses are generally powerful, and the forces surrounding them cannot be underestimated, which makes the empire split into groups and it is difficult to cohere."
"This is the Golden Ceremony, a scandal that the four empires tried their best to cover up."
Old Huck finished speaking in one breath as if he was resigned to his fate, lowered his head and said: "I hope this gentleman will never say that you got the information from me after you leave, otherwise the villain will probably die on the street soon."
"So that's it." Ryan raised his eyebrows slightly.
This is right.
The Golden Sect keeps such a low profile, people who don't know it might think that they are not the overlords of the Forbidden Sea Zone.
However, to control the four empires in this way, one must have absolute confidence.
It seems that the strength of the Golden Sect is stronger than imagined...
With this in mind, Ryan stood up and said, "Of course."
He turned and walked toward the door. Freyne and Cecilia followed suit, and the crystal core was thrown in front of Old Huck.
After a long time, the stone house fell into darkness. Only then did Old Huck raise his head again. After confirming that the few people had gone away, he immediately took out the contact device.
After leaving the Kuroshio intelligence station, Ryan found a coffee shop not far away and sat down to enjoy the cityscape. He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
The same goes for the two women.
Although the "Bone Butcher" Delio didn't understand what he meant, he still followed obediently and waited for Ryan's instructions.
About ten minutes later, Ryan got up and went to a nearby hotel to book a room.
When he entered the room, a figure wearing a hooded black robe and covering himself tightly was already sitting behind the table in the room, waiting.
Seeing Ryan closing the door, the man in black robe stood up and bowed deeply: "My lord, please save my sister."
Following the movement of the person in black robe, a few strands of pale golden hair fell down. When the person in black robe straightened up, the hood on her head also loosened.
Suddenly, a delicate face came into Ryan's eyes.
Ryan was not surprised by this uninvited visitor.
The so-called integrity of the undercurrent is nothing more than the most worthless thing. In the face of truly valuable information, no matter how sincere a guarantee is, it is just a piece of white paper that can be torn up at will.
He walked to sit opposite the woman and said with a smile, "It came very quickly."
"I think the Lanluo Empire's Kuroshio Intelligence Network is already under your control."
"There is a slight discrepancy with what your Excellency said." The woman, no, it should be said to be Felit, the contemporary eldest daughter of the Lanluo Empire, shook her head gently: "The undercurrent is essentially the product of the cooperation of the four empires. Each empire has its own control. Darknet within their own territory and conduct information exchange to a certain extent.”
"The Golden Ceremony is related to the Golden Sect. This is something everyone knows. Under such circumstances, those who still dare to inquire will most likely have a grudge against the Golden Sect."
"And the enemies of my enemies can become partners, even if they cannot be friends."
"And your strength, my lord, is enough for me to treat you with any degree of courtesy."
Ryan was noncommittal and said, "Your sister, was she chosen as the Golden Princess?"
"...Yes." The eldest princess Felit pursed her lips: "That is my third sister, Tulisa. She is the most talented among our generation."
"I have witnessed with my own eyes the changes in the Golden Son and the Golden Princess when they return."
"So, I don't want my biological sister to become like this."
"And resistance requires uniting all forces that can be united."
"I established an organization called the 'Fire-Gathering' and sincerely invite every member who intends to resist the Gold Sect to join."
"I came to see you originally for this reason."
"But after meeting you, I changed my mind."
The eldest princess Felit's voice was extremely sincere. She stood up and showed the highest courtesy: "You are the strongest person I have ever seen. If it were you, you would definitely be able to lead us all to successfully resist the Golden Sect."
"Oh?" Ryan remained seated: "When we first met, you were so supportive? What makes you so confident?"
"Lord Ryan." The eldest princess, Felit, said softly: "Although I have never met you, I have collected all the deeds of your voyage to this day."
"You are the only one I know who can triumph and triumph every time during the encirclement and suppression of the Golden Sect."
"Interesting." Ryan smiled: "I have an ability that can control the target's words and deeds. If you had not betrayed me, this ability would never be activated. So, are you willing to accept this ability of mine?"
"...I am willing to accept your gift." The eldest princess Felit's eyes did not hesitate too much.
In fact, she knew better than anyone else that when the adult in front of her said this, whether she accepted it or not would not affect the final result.
In fact, before she set off, she had already prepared for the worst.
Right now, it was already much better than the worst-case scenario she had expected.
"Since you agree..." Ryan raised his hand and placed it between the eyebrows of the eldest princess Felit.
The thin dark green thread blended into the girl's true spirit. With the huge strength gap between the two parties, the girl had no possibility of resisting and directly became a "lazy puppet".
I originally wanted to use the "Thread of Sloth" on the "Bone Butcher" Delio and the crypt elf Old Huck, but I didn't expect that it would be used on the eldest princess Felit in the end.
All I can say is that the mysteries of worldly affairs are beyond words.
After becoming a "lazy puppet", Ryan suddenly became extremely friendly in the heart of the eldest princess Felit.
Becoming a lazy puppet will not have much impact on the puppet itself unless Ryan forcefully activates it.
It’s just that I can no longer resist Ryan himself and what he ordered.
The eldest princess, Felit, was smiling.
She has been a "puppet" controlled by others since she was born. Now, there is just one more person controlling her. As far as she is concerned, there is not much difference.
But if she can exchange this for her sister's "survival", she feels that everything is worth it.
After the "Thread of Sloth" was planted, Ryan stopped being polite and said bluntly: "When will the golden ceremony begin? What is the specific process?"
"Two days later." The eldest princess, Felit, replied respectfully: "At that time, the Golden Sect will ask the envoy to send back the previous Golden Son or Golden Princess. At the same time, a process called the 'Golden Ceremony' will be carried out. After the pressure event, pick up the new golden princess.”
"Is that so?" Ryan pondered: "How is the messenger's strength?"
"In addition to serving as an escort, the Golden Messenger can also exert pressure. Therefore, his strength has reached the main god level, which is comparable to the defenders of the empire."
"This is also the implication of the Golden Sect: The envoys I send have the highest combat power of your empire. You know what to do."
Ryan thought.
The strength of the messenger is not a concern. He can do such a thing, so he must have a very low status among the main gods in the Golden Sect, and his strength is likely to be "new to the main god".
Although Ryan's traveling clones have fought against powerful enemies along the way, each of them is a peak main god, an extreme main god, or even a pseudo-ninth-level like the Red Yao Root, but in this world, a new main god is already an absolute strong man.
In the main god realm, it is unimaginably difficult to advance a small realm.
Solving the messenger is just a small problem for Ryan.
What he really wants to deal with is the Golden Sect.
In this way, it is very important to take advantage of the opportunity of the Golden Ceremony to find out the specific strength of the Golden Sect.
Thinking of this, Ryan has an idea.
He looked at the eldest princess, Filite: "I have a plan that requires your cooperation."
"If the plan goes well, your sister will be safe."
"Even the Golden Cult will be destroyed, but this requires you to make a little sacrifice, you..."
Before Ryan finished speaking, the eldest princess, Filite, had already answered: "I am willing!"
Ryan was speechless, then smiled and said: "Very good."
"Don't worry, I will protect your safety and will not let the people of the Golden Cult hurt you in the slightest."
"Let's go, arrange for me to enter the palace."
"If you want to act, you have to do it in full."
"The specific plan, I will tell you in detail after I arrive at the palace."
The eldest princess, Filite, bowed: "I understand."
...
In the center of the northern continent, there is the largest inland lake on the continent.
And the capital of the Lanluo Empire, the Holy Blue Capital, is built on this inland lake and is a super city on water.
The pedestrians on the street all had a superior arrogance, especially when they met people from other places, this arrogance became more obvious.
Ryan sat in the carriage, looking at the condescending attitude of a local businessman outside towards foreign merchants, and he just felt interesting.
Different positions lead to different ways of looking at problems.
For him, this is just a "slightly interesting" daily life of ordinary people.
The wheels turned, and soon he entered the palace.
Because of the role of the princess badge on the carriage, no one checked along the way.
In fact, even if someone checked, they could not see Ryan, Freni and Cecilia in the carriage.
Not long after, the carriage stopped at the door of a magnificent palace.
Led by a messenger who had been waiting for a long time, Ryan found the eldest princess, Filite, deep in the palace, and next to her was a beautiful and noble blonde girl.
Seeing Ryan and the others, the girl bowed and saluted: "Sir, it's our first meeting. I am the third princess Tulisa, and I am very happy to meet you."
