hunter rule

Asahi Palace.

Margrave Heine is deploying pre-war plans.

"Of course, the puppet theater is our main obstacle, but it is not the only one."

"In response to our suppression, the Puppet Theater introduced a number of abnormal sects within the kingdom, and even from outside the kingdom."

"The Cursed Sect, the Dream Crusher, the Confused Heart Sect... most of them are insignificant losers, but when they add up, the power of heresy is also a burden, just like Wen Si, the current leader of the Cursed Sect that the Count just killed.

bright."

Zhao Guangli knew very well that within the Fallen Kingdom, there was no such strict review mechanism as the Tiandong Alliance.

Basically, he is a pragmatist who only needs to be used by others. Naturally, there are more miscellaneous extraordinary organizations in the kingdom.

"Then, there are the capitulationists."

"These are the cancer of our central organs, those old and rotten old-time power holders."

The Marquis's voice turned cold.

"We came to power through blood and fear, and those guys want to take back these rights all the time. As far as I know, many of those capitulation factions have secretly colluded with the Tiandong Alliance, opened up smuggling trade routes, and accumulated a lot of money.

wealth."

"Actually, these people are the least important, because they are not strong and can only follow the puppet theater's lead."

Zhao Guangli finally understood.

The Marquis said so much, basically speaking to himself.

The Five Lords and the Queen are representatives of the New Kingdom. They rose to prominence at a young age and have known each other since they were commoners. They definitely know these contents and are even familiar with them.

but……

In the final analysis, the key point is the [Puppet Theater] controlled by Tooth Heart. Whether it is an abnormal sect or a surrender sect, the theater is the center.

The problem now is that the queen is seriously injured, and even if she is super, she does not dare to touch the puppet theater.

"No, judging from the attitude of the Marquis and others, I'm afraid even the queen in her heyday may not be able to benefit from the hidden weapons in the theater. Do they know anything?"

Zhao Guangli thought slightly.

What kind of supplies did the Elephant Master get from Night Town that made the Marquis and others so fearful?

Hearing this, Zhao Guangli spoke directly.

"Mr. Heine, I have a question here."

"In fact, I have never seen the legendary leader of the five nobles [Duke]."

"Mr. Duke is also a super professional. If he cooperates with the queen, just like he did when he killed the elephant master, things should go smoothly."

Zhao Guangli's eyes swept across the barons and viscounts around him, and finally settled on the handsome face of the Marquis.

【Duke】Prescott.

This name can be said to be a household name in the Fallen Kingdom.

Compared to the queen, a gold-medal thug, and a super warrior who fights outside all year round, the duke is regarded more as the symbol of the kingdom and the absolute spiritual leader.

Logically speaking, Zhao Guangli felt that he should see the super professional in charge of the kingdom's internal affairs at Asahi Palace.

However, after actually understanding it, I found that almost all the government orders in the entire kingdom were handled by the Marquis.

The marquis is the one who governs the kingdom in the true sense.

This liquidation operation was regarded as a turning point for the entire kingdom. Even the seriously injured queen took action. There was no reason for the marquis, who maintained full combat power, to stand still.

These two real supers cannot be shaken by the puppet theater.

Upon hearing these words, the entire strategic meeting fell into a strange calm.

The expressions of the baron and viscount were thinking about something, and the marquis did not speak. Finally, Ayn Rand spoke.

"Since you are already one of the five nobles, you have the right to know this matter."

"The Duke... claims to have been guarding the royal capital, just to intimidate the enemy."

Queen Ayn Rand breathed softly.

"The reason is also very simple."

"Ten years ago, the Duke went to the sub-hell area [Dark Town] alone. Since then, there has been no news."

"Without any clue, the central agency secretly formed several dark investigation groups, but they only came to a standstill outside Night Town. There is no order mage who can truly grasp the power of knowledge and cannot enter the depths of Night Town.

"

The Queen whispered: "It is precisely because of this that I have to go deep into [Dark Town] to detect his traces."

After Zhao Guangli heard this, he finally understood.

I see.

This is why the Marquis and the Queen are so anxious that they want to completely suppress the internal situation and march towards the darkness.

There are not many characters in the kingdom who can truly set foot in the depths of sub-hell.

Like the other five lords, it is impossible to risk their lives to go to Night Town. After all, the lessons learned by the previous Earl are still fresh in our minds.

Only the queen can.

The Queen is also an old explorer. More than fifty years ago, she went with Gu Chaoruan's team to explore the [Eland Demon City]. She is the most suitable candidate, and she can get back a lot of precious resources no matter what.

As a result, the queen was seriously injured, making the settlement war even more difficult to handle.

"I see."

Zhao Guangli nodded.

This also explains why the Marquis is so anxious.

As it stands now, had it not been for the major incident in the Sky Drive Alliance that gave the kingdom a chance to breathe, and if the military had gotten wind of the news that the Duke was missing and the Queen was seriously injured, the Military would have sent a large number of sergeants to press on.

The number of supers at the top of the military department can almost stun the kingdom.

Ackerman, who was originally nicknamed "The Purgatory Gunner", was one of them.

This kind of thing will happen with a high probability, after all, the military has been coveting the Kingdom's [Tomb of Carrera] for a long time.

"Queen, I am honored that you can be so open and honest."

Zhao Guangli bowed slightly: "After all, I have an identity. I am a major in the military department of the Tiandong Alliance."

The baron's body trembled, and his eyes widened like bells.

What?

Is this guy still a military officer?

No, who is this guy?

The queen had a beautiful smile on her face: "As a [Earl], I naturally have to be honest with you. This is the truth."

"After the meeting is over, I will give you what you and the Marquis originally agreed upon."

Ayn Rand's brows were full of charm, but there was a kind of fatigue that could not be easily detected.

"Thank you Queen."

………………

In fact, during the entire [Settlement War], Zhao Guangli found that there were not many parts he had to take action.

The Five Lords control more than 80% of the forces in the entire kingdom, and most of the time, there is no need to fight on their own.

After all, from the top level, there is a huge gap in combat power between the Five Lords and the Puppet Theater.

On the Marquis's mechanical screen, there were a lot of powerful people who needed attention. It could be said that everything was detailed.

Among them, Zhao Guangli finally saw that face.

With a cold oval face, not many expressions, and wearing black-rimmed glasses, she looks like an ordinary young girl from an extraordinary academy.

This is such a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

Ju Tang and her are girls of the same style in appearance.

"Gu Xintong, female, eighteen years old."

"The Kingdom's Palace Mage Group is also the current guest of the Puppet Theater. It has special energies [Thunder] and [Darkness]. The diversion staff it holds is extremely luxurious, and it ignites a mysterious high-energy mage."

This is the information currently held by the Kingdom, and most of it was obtained when I first joined the Kingdom.

According to the Marquis, Gu Xintong's combat power is really amazing. Like Zhao Guangli, she is a strong person who can kill people at higher levels. It can almost be described as amazing.

Zhao Guangli felt a little emotional.

Gu Xintong has been able to reach this day and become a human giant, so she always feels that she should bear some responsibility.

"There should be no doubt that part of the destiny belongs to Gu Xintong."

Zhao Guangli did not believe that a girl from a remote area could reach such a situation.

But Gu Xintong's own talent is also extremely strong, and he is not a child that can be born into an ordinary family.

After all, his decisive character and innate sense of fighting were extremely outrageous.

Zhao Guangli's gaze moved downward.

"The origin of this extraordinary person seems to be related to the puppet theater."

trouble.

Zhao Guangli frowned, but he didn't feel too much pressure.

Gu Xintong is growing, but Zhao Guangli must grow more and become stronger.

Now, Zhao Guangli no longer cares about the strength of others. As long as he is strong, he can suppress everything.

For example, at this moment, the viscount and the baron had left, and the queen and the marquis took Zhao Guangli into the depths of the Asahi Palace.

It is dark and profound, with luxurious reliefs and exquisite prehistoric paintings everywhere emerging in the long corridor.

"The place we are going to next is the [Study]."

"It is a place where precious knowledge is stored."

The Marquis walked in front, his gorgeous clothes swaying slightly, looking handsome and slender.

"Knowledge is the ladder of human progress and the most precious wealth in the extraordinary world."

"Ritual processes, spell release, mechanical structures, ancient texts, and even the birth of abnormalities, everything is knowledge."

Marquis Heine, the only order mage present, said this.

"The horror of the sub-hell zone comes from its unknown. As long as we have enough knowledge, even the sub-hell zone is not enough to scare us. After all, before the historical fault, these places were the domain of us humans."

Zhao Guangli actually agreed with this statement.

The same is true for unspeakable fear.

In Black Iron Castle, you will feel scared when facing [Two-Headed Priest] Zhao Guangli.

In Ludu, Zhao Guangli could only feel despair when he saw the official-level Davya.

But now, if Zhao Guangli moves his mind, these existences will disappear directly from this world.

This is the essence. No matter what kind of extraordinary advancement, it is essentially the accumulation of knowledge.

Ayn Rand clapped his hands on the side: "Heine is so handsome when he says these words."

She turned her head and looked at Zhao Guangli: "You know, Heine is much older than my sister."

Huh.

Zhao Guangli was stunned.

The Marquis looked calm.

"Senior Ayn Rand has a pure mind and is unyielding in martial arts. He will naturally overcome obstacles on the road of knighthood."

Heine's character is that of a stern person, and he speaks in a precise manner.

Zhao Guangli didn't know much about this.

From this point of view, the queen is indeed as talented as the rumors say.

"Have you known each other for a long time?"

Walking in the long corridor, Zhao Guangli asked seriously.

The names of the Five Lords and the Queen are legends in the human world and are insurmountable high walls.

"It's been a long time indeed."

Before Ayn Rand could speak, the Marquis sighed softly and spoke.

"It's been a really long time... I should have been in my teens when I left that gambling shop with Senior Ayn Rand in my arms."

Holding?

kindness?

Zhao Guangli couldn't help but think about it.

The Marquis looked cold and calm: "Don't think too much. At that time, Senior Ayn Rand was a baby who was pushed onto the gambling table by his father."

In the former kingdom, it can be said that the people were in dire straits.

The roads are starved to death, and sin and darkness are everywhere.

Ayn Rand looked up and thought for a while: "I can't remember it anyway."

"Senior Ayn Rand, it's obvious that you couldn't remember things at that time."

The Marquis said calmly.

"Brother originally only planned to find the four of us."

"It was just when I was using Niels' social deception to make my first pot of gold in that gambling house that I discovered the infant Ayn Rand."

"In a wooden cradle, in a noisy casino, neither crying nor making noise."

The Marquis' mood was still light.

"The eldest brother spent a sum of money to buy the baby."

Zhao Guangli could not imagine the previous environment of the kingdom.

The eldest brother here undoubtedly refers to the Duke.

And is this, the birth history of the Five Lords and the Queen?

"I actually never thought that Ayn Rand would enter the super world so smoothly."

There was finally a slight hint of disbelief in the Marquis' tone.

Ayn Rand pointed at the Marquis with a white finger: "This is a gift."

Zhao Guangli knew very well that the story here was just a simplified version.

These six people were able to climb from the bottom to where they are now. What a complicated and tortuous story there is.

Queen Ayn Rand alone cannot be summed up as "gifted".

"arrive."

The Marquis waved his right hand, and the ancient stone door in front of him opened naturally.

It is full of the rich atmosphere of history, giving Zhao Guangli the feeling of being in the Wanli Library.

There are bookshelves everywhere, and they are filled with a dazzling array of information.

A vast sea.

Zhao Guangli didn't ask any questions yet, but the queen holding the red umbrella breathed a sigh of relief.

It was like the birth of a demon god, and Zhao Guangli finally recalled that this was a monster walking at the end of the supernatural.

The top bookcase opened, and the queen's eyes moved slightly.

A crimson field appeared, and immediately, a black book fell into the queen's hands.

"[Notes of Night Town]."

An Rand waved it gently and handed it into Zhao Guangli's hands: "This is the remnant of the original [Elephant Master]. It is also the clearest data so far recording the Night Town in the sub-hell area."

"Other information is either incomplete or in twos and threes. There are too many. I have compiled them all and put them over there. Generally speaking, this elephant master's notes can be said to be quite good."

In Zhao Guangli's hand, the black leather notebook looked heavier than it looked.

The surface is covered with something similar to ivory, which overlaps and looks extremely weird.

Zhao Guangli just glanced at the cover and felt a tingling sensation in his body.

This is an abnormal state...

The bones in the flesh and blood are undergoing alienation and proliferation.

Joint structures are changing in unpredictable ways.

Zhao Guangli was suddenly startled, and his eyes suddenly became clear.

"This is……"

The Marquis spoke on the side: "[Elephant Lord] is an extremely powerful existence even among super professionals. This is a handwritten note written by him. It is already an extremely powerful extraordinary item. If you look at it at a higher level, it will directly transform into

The ownerless [Skeleton Soldier].”
