Endless Debt

The meeting with the Secret Group did not make Boluogo wait too long, and before the meeting, Boluogo received a notice of changes in authority from the decision-making room.

The decision-making room has raised Bologg's authority several levels. According to the regulations of the Bureau of Order, Bologg is now at the same level as the ministers of various departments, and his authority is second only to Nethaniel and other old people in the Bureau of Order. This surprised Boluogo. He didn't expect that his authority would be increased so much.

With the increase in authority, more secret information will naturally be opened to Bologo, but to be honest, compared with what Bologo has seen in the etheric world, the secret files kept by the Bureau of Order are not attractive to Bologo at all. .

The most Boluogo can do is take a look at some special secret powers, contracted objects, etc. in the official records. Being familiar with these characteristics will help Boluogo quickly deduce the nature of the enemy's abilities in the next battle.

Then, the time came to meet with the Mysteries.

The meeting place this time was located in the reclamation room, so there was no need to worry about external enemies disrupting the meeting, and there was no need to worry about the evil intentions of the secret group.

Boluogo heard from people who participated in the meeting that the Bureau of Order had held many talks with the Secret Group before, but they never came to a result that satisfied both parties. Boluogo intervened sideways, and no one Have an opinion on this.

Entering the room, Boluogo followed other participants in the meeting and sat on one side of the room. The other side was prepared for the Secret Group.

Boluogo glanced at the people around him. Most of them were familiar faces, such as team leaders such as Yas and Gold.

Now is the eve of war. The action teams under the field service are like small legions, and the team leaders are the commanders of the legions. In special times, team leaders have become more and more important in the Order Bureau, and all parts are unified. Give way.

Boluogo began to imagine that if the negotiations broke down, these group leaders would suddenly draw their swords and chop these uncooperative secret groups into pieces.

This is not impossible. If the Secret Group wants to split the power of the Rhine Alliance, then they will become even more hateful than the King's Secret Sword.

Traitors are always more deserving of hatred than enemies.

"What is the main content of the negotiation?"

The envoys of the Secret Group had not yet entered the scene, and Boluogo whispered to Yas beside him.

"What else could it be? The Bureau of Order wants to unite all the secret groups, temporarily establish a war alliance, and then dissolve it after the war, and promises that it can continue to maintain a high degree of independence after that," Yas replied in a low voice, "But the The Secret Group does not want to join any war alliance."

"They want to stay out of it."

"More than that," Yas said, "They also think this is an opportunity to get rid of the Bureau of Order completely, and try to blackmail us with their own tendencies in order to gain greater freedom."

Boluogo asked, "Aren't they afraid of pressure from the Bureau of Order?"

"They probably think that the Bureau of Order is under attack from both sides and has no energy to deal with them, so they can only keep compromising with them."

Yas whispered, "This is understandable. The Bureau of Order is about to go to war with almost all organizations related to the devil. It is normal not to be optimistic about us."

"This is so short-sighted."

Boluogo sighed and said that he is one of the few "sane people" today who knows the terrible crisis that the material world will face next, and no one can stay away from this disaster. No one can.

It is not yet clear to what extent the Bureau of Order will keep the information about the extraterrestrial visitors secret. Boluogo only hopes that if this information can be conveyed to the top leaders of the Secret Group, they will change their minds.

Not everything Bologna wants to resolve violently.

"Why, are you starting to worry about these high-level affairs?" Yas teased with a smile.

"Nothing, nothing..."

Boluogo muddled through casually and leaned back, looking extremely depressed.

The information about extraterrestrial visitors can be said to be the core secret of the material world. Boluogo has thought about publishing this information indiscriminately, so as to force others to unite. Unless they have extremely serious self-destructive tendencies and want to tear up the material world with the devil, Boluogo feels that everyone will make the most rational choice.

Unfortunately, this idea was rejected by Boluogo himself not long after it emerged.

Boluogo realized that when he threw out the information about the aliens and forced everyone to unite, it was tantamount to making the devils stand together and speak to the outside world.

For thousands of years, the reason why human beings have been able to achieve a certain degree of victory in the struggle against the devils is largely due to the fact that the devils are not united and even hostile to each other. Under their mutual internal friction, human beings have gained No room for survival.

Once the devils choose to temporarily put aside their conflicts with each other and speak to the outside world in unison, it will be difficult to deal with the extremely hateful evils in this world, let alone the extraordinary organizations affiliated with the devils.

Like a fatal chain of suspicion.

Boluogo cannot let the devils realize that humans already know the truth of the world, so as to start a decisive battle between the two worlds in advance, and he must contact other forces while avoiding the sight of the devils.

Devils are ever-changing, and even there is a devil named Belphegor hidden within the Bureau of Order. Bologo is not sure whether there are devil's spies among other forces.

What if the devil already knows that "human beings know the truth about the world" and now just pretends not to know and has mobilized his army secretly?

if...if...

More and more suspicions were generated in Boluogo's mind. Just when they were about to burst Boluogo's head, clear footsteps broke into Boluogo's mind, interrupting these thousands of thoughts.

Boluogo looked at the door as if he had just woken up from a dream. He saw those mysterious and somewhat luxurious people dressed in mysterious and luxurious clothes. They were like aristocrats from the old era and were incompatible with the order.

"They are here," Yas said. "Is this your first time meeting people from the Secret Group?"

Boluogo nodded without saying a word.

"They never set foot on the earth unless necessary," Yas explained. "Most of the time, they live in the hidden land."

"Where is that?"

"The city of the Secret Group is also the only city. It is said that the city is hidden in the primitive jungle. It is a city completely ruled by the condensers."

"have you been there?"

"No, they are very xenophobic. Only a few people from the Bureau of Order have been there, but those who have been there have kept silent about the specific details."

Yas then muttered, "But what is known is that many people have praised the beauty of the Hidden Land, but on the other hand, they hate that city. As for the specific reasons, I don't know."

While Boluogo was confused, Yas whispered in his ear, "Perhaps in the eyes of the Mysteries, we are all country people who smell like dirt, right?"

"Redneck?"

Boluogo was amused by this word. He never imagined that there was such a thing as identity discrimination among the Condensers.

The group of secrets took their seats, and Boluogo turned to look at them. Each of them was exquisite and unbelievable, with serious and indifferent expressions, as if they were wearing a mask.

"Who is she?" Bologg asked in a low voice.

Yas didn't need to look to know who Bologo was referring to. Dazzling people are dazzling wherever they are.

"Osana, the defender of the Secret Group, is the leader of the new generation of Condensers, and the envoy of the Secret Group this time," Yas said. "Those old guys have high hopes for her."

Bologordo took a few glances at Osana. Compared to her colleagues, Osana's first impression was that she was less condescending. She seemed to be easier to get along with, and her short brown-red hair was extremely eye-catching. , easy to distinguish among the crowd.

"For your convenience, her status within the Secret Group is the same as Holt's within the Bureau of Order."

"Holt? Is he special in the Bureau of Order?"

Boluogo still remembers the guy who was full of strange jokes. It seemed that the more powerful the person, the more unreliable they looked. This was the case for Sere, Vonn was like this, and Nathaniel was even more like this.

Yas glanced sideways at Boluogo. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything and sighed helplessly.

"Holt is the most talented person in the game in recent years, and he is also the youngest defender among us. The decision-making room attaches great importance to Holt. In our private discussions, we once felt that Holt He will be the successor of the Deputy Director, and after he is promoted to Glory, he will also be the strongest combat force of the Order Bureau in the next thirty years."

"I thought I was the youngest base keeper," Burlogo joked.

"In terms of working age, you have indeed surpassed Holt in this regard," Yas said, "but you are an immortal, so this is simply cheating."

No matter how reluctant he was, in his heart, Yas still envied the undead, as did many people.

Boluogo smiled and did not continue the discussion, because another person walked in. His arrival made the atmosphere in the room instantly become more serious. Some people even became breathless, as if they were facing some invisible force. A thing of horror.

"Is everyone here?"

Nathaniel stood in front of everyone, his eyes swept across the faces, and he paused for a moment on Bologo's face, then continued to move.

"I think the previous discussions should be enough."

Nathaniel flipped through the documents, with a sense of impatience in his tone.

"I think there will be no result if the stalemate continues, right?" He said and looked at Osana.

Osana did not give in. She looked directly into Nethaniel's eyes and responded forcefully, "The conditions of the Order of Secrets will not change. We demand the purity of our own independence."

The corners of Nethanil's lips raised slightly, as if he was amused by Osana.

"No chance of giving in?"

"Of course."

"Osana, such a tough attitude will only cause differences between us." Nathaniel also tried to persuade.

"There are no differences or misunderstandings. The attitude of the Secret Group has always been clear."

Osana also became a little impatient. Similar conversations had been repeated many times in the past few days, and she was tired of negotiating.

"If both of us are unwilling to compromise...you should know what will happen, right?" Nathaniel said.

"Are you threatening us?"

Osana was unmoved, she was indeed somewhat distracted.

"It's not a threat, I just want to make the pros and cons clear."

Nathaniel has a headache. Both are forces of the Rhine Alliance. From the perspective of the Bureau of Order, the Secret Group has only two choices, either to join the War Alliance or to disappear.

Now that there is no hope of persuasion, Nathaniel can't help but think about the "disappearance" part. Is it really necessary to start a civil war within the Rhine League before the war begins?

No matter how much Nethaniel hated civil war, he still recognized the importance of a quick civil war.

besides……

"I don't understand why you are so resistant this time and have such a tough attitude when our previous negotiations went smoothly," Nathaniel tried. "It seems that you are not worried at all about the consequences of a breakdown in negotiations with us."

"We just don't want to be tied to a chariot by the Bureau of Order and fight a meaningless war," Osana said without changing her expression. "For so many years, the Secret Group has been able to avoid the world and we have developed very smoothly. Everything is peaceful and we hope it will continue."

"Maintain absolute neutrality? That sounds too idealistic."

Nethaniel is not a child. He does not believe in absolute neutrality at all. As for Osana's proposal to sign a treaty... treaties are meant to be broken, and Nethaniel does not believe it at all.

"It seems that we still can't get any results today." Nathaniel complained.

Osana responded in silence, secretly clenching her fists.

Before arriving at the Bureau of Order, Osana realized that this trip would not be easy. The Secret Group had foreseen the coming war, but the Council of Sages did not want to get involved, just like it did during the Wrath of the Scorched Earth.

Nathaniel took a deep breath, closed the document, and said loudly, "Then let's change to a more sincere negotiation method."

"for example?"

Osana breathed a sigh of relief, but Nathaniel still maintained restraint and did not choose more radical methods because the results were not as expected.

"I will lead an envoy back to the Hidden Land with you," Nathaniel said, "to meet the Council of the Sages in person and discuss with them directly."

Osana's face changed slightly. She was about to say something when Nathaniel interrupted.

"We are all condensers, there is nothing to separate us from, besides... don't try to anger us anymore, okay?"

Nathaniel stared at Osana indifferently, the calmness was filled with a terrifying aura, and everyone was speechless.

"You have made us very dissatisfied by your refusal to fulfill the agreement and your attempt to stay out of the matter. In the past, we would have let it go, but in this special period, you will only make me more disappointed."

Osana quickly adjusted her emotions. She still looked calm and calm. "The Hidden Land is never disclosed to the public. I need a list of envoys."

Nathaniel nodded slightly, then clapped his hands, "Then let's adjourn, everyone."

The silence lasted for a few more seconds, and then people stood up and left the conference room as if fleeing.

Nathaniel was still standing in front of the stage, his head slightly lowered, not knowing what he was thinking. When Osana passed by him, he suddenly spoke.

"Does the Secret Group have anything to rely on? It feels like it has the capital to oppose the Bureau of Order."

Osana stopped and looked forward, "I am only responsible for conveying the will of the Council of Sages. I don't know the rest."

"Then you'd better be wary of the Council of Sages. Those guys have lived too long." Nathaniel said quietly.

Osana turned her head in confusion and listened to Nathaniel continue.

"I have always felt that people should not live too long, even the glorious ones. Just like food will spoil, if people live for a long time, it will inevitably happen."

Osana said no more and left directly. She couldn't wait to return to the Hidden Land.

There were fewer and fewer people in the conference room, and in the end there were only one or two left. Nathaniel looked at Boluogo who was still sitting in the seat, and he showed a hearty smile.

"Hey, Boluogo, the new star of our field department."

Boluogo sighed, just hearing Nathaniel's rough praise, he knew he was in trouble.

Fortunately, Boluogo is not averse to trouble, and even said that he would take the initiative to find trouble.

"Do you have any ideas?" Nathaniel winked toward the door.

"I don't know much about the Secret Group, but judging from past negotiations, they are suddenly so tough. There must be some internal changes." Bologo is very knowledgeable and knows what Nathaniel is asking. , "Just like the King's Secret Sword suddenly stopped fighting with us because the King's Shield Guards were causing riots within the territory."

"You think someone is helping the Secret Group and helping them escape from our control." Nathaniel said.

"Probably...will my name be on the list?" Bologo asked.

"Of course," Nathaniel sat on the table, "You are our key training target."

"Like Holt?"

"Almost, but unfortunately, no matter how great your achievements are in the future, your position will only be deputy director at best."

Nathaniel took out a cigarette from his pocket and held it in his mouth, "After all, the undead cannot connect to the masses."

"oh……"

Bologg was about to sigh a few words, but suddenly he realized something. Bologg looked at Nathaniel's face, and there was an indifferent attitude written on his weathered face.

"It's time to go, Bologo."
