Endless Debt

Lebius Lovisa, current leader of the Special Operations Group.

Boluogo hadn't seen Lebius for a while, and his expression was full of surprise. According to Jeffrey, Lebius had gone to perform some secret operation and was alone. Boluogo didn't expect to see Lebius here, and so did everyone else.

Lebius walked in front of everyone, and Jeffrey took out documents one by one in time and handed them to everyone. Boluogo was still looking directly at Lebius, and the others opened them. file and read the information on it.

"As you all know, the negotiations between the Bureau of Order and the King's Secret Sword will continue, but before continuing, we need to resolve some potential threats."

Lebius spoke, without any unnecessary words in his words, just as he was familiar with in Boluogo's memory.

Bologg was immersed in his mind, and he realized that Lebius seemed to have undergone some kind of change after not seeing him for a while. Bologg didn't know what the change was, but he was certain that the current Lebius It’s different.

Under vigilant inspection, Lebius's appearance remained the same as before, until a guess sprouted in Bologo's mind.

Basekeeper?

Lebius may have been promoted to a defender, and Bologo was surprised by his own thoughts.

There are many employees in the Bureau of Order who have been in positions of authority for a long time. Due to various reasons, they are no longer promoted or are unable to be promoted. Bologo is not sure why Lebius and Jeffrey have been in this position. level, but what we can know is that the two of them have been at this level for many years.

If they still want to continue to be promoted, then promotion should have been put on the agenda long ago. Why are they promoted at this time? Is it because of the King's Secret Sword? Boluogo had heard about the feud between Lebius and the King's Secret Sword early in the morning.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. The rest is in the file. You can read it yourself first and ask me if you have any questions."

Lebius crossed his arms and leaned against the podium. The conference room was extremely quiet, with only the sound of turning pages. As the reading progressed, several other people frowned.

"The one with authority?"

Lebius noticed Boluogo and suddenly said, "Is the promotion over?"

Boluogo responded, "I have been successfully promoted to the person with authority."

"Um."

There was a little more approval and comfort in Lebius's calm eyes.

Others also heard what Boluogo said. They all knew about Boluogo's promotion at the wine party last night, but when they actually saw Boluogo with their own eyes, they couldn't help but sigh.

"You are considered the youngest person with authority in the Order Bureau, right?" Hart praised, "You move up a level every year. Will you be promoted to a defender next year?"

Although Boluogo is an immortal, judging from the time when he entered the path of transcendence, he is undoubtedly the youngest.

"I don't know," Bologo said modestly, "it depends on the situation."

With the gradual deepening of the understanding of the etheric world, Boluogo's promotion no longer belongs to him, but to the entire Order Bureau and all mankind's exploration of the etheric world.

Bologo will have two promotion opportunities later, namely Basekeeper and Glory. These are two opportunities to go deep into the etheric world. Bologo must cherish these two opportunities.

As for the power brought by the promotion, Boluogo felt that it was more important.

There is no shortage of defenders and honorable men in this world. What is really lacking is the knowledge that can change the world.

"pioneer……"

Boluogo repeated it in a low voice in his heart, and he gradually fell in love with this word, like an adventurer holding a torch to drive away the cold night.

He may die on the road, or he may not be able to return it, but Bologo believes that he will find what he wants.

Getting closer.

"This is the purpose of calling everyone here this time."

Lebius cleared his throat and spoke.

“Since the timeline chaos incident, the King’s Shield Guards have disappeared from our sight, and now they have reappeared and seriously threatened our safety.

Before starting the second negotiation with the King's Secret Sword, we need to solve this potential threat first. The first time they can hire the Legion of the Silent Ones, no one knows what means they will use to attack the second time. "

The conference room darkened, the curtain slid down, and the slides were projected on the curtain.

"Previously, the Order Bureau conducted several cleanings and searches of the Great Rift, but failed to detect the existence of the King's Shield Guards. This made us mistakenly believe that the King's Shield Guards had evacuated the Great Rift, but in fact they did not leave. On the contrary, , they most likely made a deal with the tyrant Mammon and live under his protection."

Boluogo agreed with this possibility. After all, Wandering on the Forked Road is the devil's territory. If the devil wants to protect the King's Shield Guards, it is normal for the Order Bureau to not be able to find them.

Devils are the same as human souls. They not only exist in the material world, but also exist in the etheric world and the material world. Bologo suspects that the shadow projection in the etheric world is the essence of devils and the source of their power. The devils living in the material world are just the carriers of power that remain after compressing their power.

Even such a power carrier is subject to many restrictions and can only live in the country it built.

Bologo's thoughts spread out uncontrollably. Maybe the devil's land is also inextricably related to the etheric realm. They corrupted the material world and gained the possibility to act in the corrupted land.

"Currently, the decision-making room has released news that we will negotiate with the King's Secret Sword again, and the King's Shield Guard will definitely get this news."

Lebius said, "My mission is to find a way to find the location of the King's Shield Guards. If possible, it is best to find out what they are plotting."

The slide flashed, and an ancient building appeared on the screen. It was a stern fortress. Bologg had seen this fortress in history books and witnessed it with his own eyes on the battlefield.

Boluogo whispered, "Misty Abyss Fortress."

Hart asked, "Do you understand it?"

"This is a defensive fortress outside the Holy City. Stationed there are mercenaries hired by King Solomon. They are responsible for protecting the security of the Holy City. Before besieging the Holy City, we spent several In a month, we captured this fortress and killed all the mercenaries."

Bologo recalled, "This fortress has disappeared on the earth. What does it have to do with this operation."

"Well... to be precise, he didn't disappear completely."

Lebius explained, "It is in the Great Rift, in the Wandering Fork Road."

"What?"

Boluogo suspected that he heard it wrong, "That's a fortress."

"After the fall of the Holy City, this land was razed to the ground. We originally thought that the Mist Abyss Fortress also collapsed, but from the subsequent information, it also fell into the scars of the earth's lamentation. After geological changes, Completely integrated with the Great Rift.”

The slide flashed again, and blurry photos appeared on the screen.

"We checked the information. In recent years, there have been reports of suspected ancient buildings in Wandering Fork Road, but this has not attracted the attention of the Bureau of Order. After all, the large rift is complex, and the twisted and grotesque buildings on Wandering Fork Road are growing like vitality. There It’s no surprise that anything appears.”

Church asked, "Are the King's Shield Guards suspected of hiding in the ruins of that fortress?"

"It's unclear, and this is what we will do next," Lebius said. "That is the devil's territory. It will be extremely difficult to operate there."

"Not to mention that the Wandering Fork Road is changing all the time, and there is also a sea of ​​poisonous fog that has engulfed most of the ancient buildings in the haze..."

There is a mixture of fish and dragons in the wandering fork road, the power of various forces is completely blended together, and there is also a devil sitting there. In addition, under the poisonous sea of ​​fog, is an extremely dangerous abandoned place, shrouded in a large virtual quiet defense line There, under the predation of the etheric vacuum and evil, except for Boluogo, anyone who mistakenly enters it will find it difficult to return alive.

There is too much dirt and grime hidden in the Great Rift. They cleverly maintain a balance and operate in an orderly manner in chaos. Any huge force exerted from the outside may break this balance and trigger an unknown disaster. .

Lebius said, "Under the influence of various factors, I summoned everyone. With your cooperation, we should be able to find the location of the Mist Abyss Fortress and detect important information if necessary."

"Does the Bureau of Order want to cause a fight between the two of them?" Boluogo asked, "Deliberately releasing information to both parties."

"Yes, it is in the best interest of the Bureau of Order to let them consume each other."

Lebius nodded, "We already know the power of the King's Secret Sword, but the King's Shield Guards are different. No one knows what they are accumulating in the shadows, that's why we need you."

Boluogo said no more, "I understand."

"The sixth group, headed by Hart, you are responsible for clearing the obstacles and meeting the rest. Bologna and Palmer, as debtors, you may be able to pass through the illusion set by the devil and find the King's Shield Guard. of.

As for Church. "

Lebius's eyes finally fell on Church.

"Church is the key to this mission."

Hearing these words, others couldn't help but turn their eyes to Church. Even Boluoge was a little surprised. With the umbilical cord between him and the devil, he has always been the protagonist in every action. .

"Hart has no experience in intelligence work at all, and so do Kemp and Shelley. Burlogo has some experience in this area, but what you are best at is violently extorting confessions."

Lebius commented on several people. When he talked about Boluogo, Boluogo's expression was a little stiff, as if he was being criticized.

"Palmer? Palmer has some experience in intelligence work, but your gift makes it really difficult for me to trust you and entrust you with such an important job."

Palmer's face fell. No one remembered that he was the Rookie of the Year. All that could be remembered was that he was the unlucky guy of the Krax family.

Wonderful hapless guy.

Every time, something fatal happens, but every time, I can luckily come back with a life.

"Church is the only experienced intelligence officer among you. What you have to do is to find the Mist Abyss Fortress so that Church can sneak in and find a way to meet him and evacuate safely."

Lebius walked off the podium, "Do you have any questions?"

Bologger shook his head, as did the others.

Lebius was in a hurry, turned around and left, disappearing at the door. Boluogo wanted to ask Lebius if he had been promoted to a defender, but he obviously did not give himself this chance.

Jeffrey did stay, and was responsible for the follow-up chores, such as the timing of the operation and the distribution of equipment.

…

The Great Rift is a huge garbage dump. This is everyone's first impression of this strange place. Many companies illegally lay pipelines and throw toxic industrial waste into the sea of ​​fog. Some are hidden in the Great Rift. Among the alchemists, he was also accustomed to disposing of alchemical waste that was difficult to process.

Everyone is dumping garbage into the big rift. Fortunately, this garbage dump will never be filled up. No matter what they put into it, they will eventually be swallowed up by the evil, and the ferocious mass of flesh and blood will be burned by the light. The power burned to ashes.

Like a huge incinerator, nothing is left except the accumulating ashes.

But not everything will fall into the abandoned land. There are still many things mixed into the thick fog, like a soup that is constantly adding toxins, making it more deadly.

The Great Rift is divided into several areas based on the concentration of the fog sea. Most people live in safe areas where the fog concentration is low. The deeper you go into the Great Rift, the thicker the fog becomes and the more intense the toxins become.

Small-scale acid rain often precipitates from the fog, corroding the surrounding buildings. In a certain depth of fog, just exposing your skin will be burned the moment it comes into contact with the fog.

The buildings in the Great Rift were once tens of meters deep, but as the fog gradually thickened, the lower buildings were shrouded in fog, and it became a ruined and dead city hanging on the cliff. Even the abominable demons would Stay away from places with heavy fog.

In this place where poisonous fog gathers, the ruins of an ancient fortress have almost completely merged with the rocks due to geological changes, and have become a shelter for the king's shield guards.

The Shadow King, as always, sat under the round glass bottom. Looking down from here, he could see nothing but milky white mist.

Silent eyes extended from under the silver mask, and he stared at the sea of ​​fog for a long time until a voice broke the dead silence.

It was a young man. His clothes were simple, but there was a gorgeous sword hanging on his waist. Its scabbard was extremely luxurious and inlaid with gold and gems. It seemed that all the man's wealth was used to decorate this sword. Blade.

Morrison Buzz, a former member of the King's Secret Sword, was once known as the youngest person in power in the King's Secret Sword, until he chose to rebel, join the King's Shield Guard, and serve the Shadow King.

He gave up everything he had in the Korgadel Empire, whether it was wealth or fame, Morrison didn't care. The only thing he took from there was his blade.

"His Majesty."

Morrison's left hand rested on the hilt of the sword. Before stepping into the glass round bottom, he paused knowingly. It seemed that there was only the Shadow King here, but Morrison knew that the third seat wearing iron armor was there. Nearby, he had always been like this, guarding the Shadow King at all times.

He knelt down on one knee facing the Shadow King's back.

"The goods from the Gray Trade Chamber of Commerce have arrived."

The Shadow King stood up slowly, and there were clear cracking sounds under the black robe, like dry skin being torn apart by the movement.

Heavy footsteps sounded from the shadows on one side, and the third seat stepped out of the shadows, with a tall body standing behind the Shadow King.

Morrison stood up and led the way. After advancing through layers of spiral corridors, they saw the so-called cargo in a ruined hall.

Many shield guards gathered here, vigilantly dismantling the goods from the Gray Trade Chamber of Commerce. They all knew how deadly these goods were. Even the Sublimation Masters dealt with them wholeheartedly, not daring to make the slightest mistake.

Bottles and bottles of heavy gas tanks were carried down, and they were piled up in a large area.

"According to those merchants, this is all the disease of decay that they can mobilize in their inventory," Morrison explained. "Since the treaty, the Order of Truth has no longer produced these things. Even this group of merchants have Can’t get much.”

Morrison added, "But these are enough. According to the magnitude, once these plagues of decay are released, they will be enough to destroy the entire Oath City, Opos, and turn this place into a dead place."

"But this premise is that the Order Bureau is sitting idly by."

A hoarse voice sounded from under the Shadow King's mask, "They are very experienced in dealing with extraordinary disasters. With the intervention of the Bureau of Order, it is already very difficult for these decaying epidemics to destroy several blocks, let alone destroy this thing. It’s not an easy task to launch.”

Morrison explained, "Putting it in is not a problem. The Gray Trade Chamber of Commerce has already calculated the time for the next fog surge. If necessary, they are willing to help us induce the rise of the fog tide in advance."

The silent third seat spoke, "Are you referring to the gray tide haze?"

"Yes," Morrison affirmed.

Gray tide haze is a natural phenomenon unique to the Great Rift. A large amount of fog accumulates in the Great Rift. After a long period of brewing, they will gradually overflow. Dragged by the airflow, they will occasionally erupt into deadly The toxic fog will pour out from the depths of the great rift, eroding the entire wandering fork in the road.

This is not the end yet. The poisonous mist will overflow the large crack and spread to the surrounding areas. Therefore, many airflow isolation devices are installed in the buildings in the surrounding areas of the large crack to prevent the poisonous mist from harming the human body.

Morrison said excitedly, "We can cause an unprecedented smog, mixed with an epidemic of decay."

"Our goal is not to massacre," the third seat said, "but to contain the Bureau of Order and the King's Secret Sword."

"They can't sit back and ignore such an extraordinary disaster. This gives us the opportunity to take action, and even a bargaining chip to negotiate with them." The third seat went on to reveal their true purpose.

"Take back Xilin's body."

The third seat and Morrison fantasized about their next actions and the various crises and possibilities they would encounter.

The Shadow King stared at the gas tanks being moved without saying a word. There were some things that he kept hidden in his heart and did not tell anyone, not even the third seat who always protected him.

He will get Xilin's body, Shadow King is sure of this.

It's like destiny, a script that has been written long ago and cannot be changed.

With the astronaut writing, nothing can bend his will and lead the story astray.
