Lord of War

This is a long and narrow stone path. Judging from the stone materials at both ends of the wall, it is obviously made of black steel stone, and there is even a layer of alchemy material on it to strengthen the stone path. The processing fee alone is probably in the tens of dollars. More than 10,000 gold coins.

There is no way, anything related to magical scientific research technology such as alchemy is a huge expense.

However, what is seriously inconsistent with the situation caused by the high cost of the stone path is that there are only a few oil lamps in the stone path, not even magic lamps, so naturally there is no need to mention the level of light in the stone path.

There was a heavy sound coming from the stone path, as if a stone door was pushed open, followed by the sound of steady footsteps.

The sound of these footsteps has a unique sense of heaviness, and the rhythm of each step is like stepping on the beat of a drum, giving people the feeling of a chilling atmosphere. There is no doubt that this is definitely the footsteps unique to professional soldiers Voice. But after this footstep, there is another footstep hidden. Compared with this majestic footstep, the second footstep is light and light, if it is not because the stone path is too quiet, and this footstep If the walking people don't seem to be particularly good at stealth, I'm afraid it's really hard to find.

Not long after, a light shone at one end of the stone path.

It was a lamp held in the hands of a man who could still be considered a teenager, and a young man was following the boy.

In the entire Panda Territory, no one would not know these two people.

Ruby and William.

After being brought back to Panda by Sean from the wild land, Ruby was directly thrown to William for training by Sean. During this period of time, Ruby has lived a very difficult life, and even wandered between life and death several times. But for this, Ruby did not feel resentment in his heart, but was full of gratitude. Because no matter how hard life is, he can still feel that he is surrounded by a great sense of accomplishment.

And just two months ago, Ruby officially took over from William the Panda collar intelligence department that was originally organized by Rena: The Realm of the Void.

Regarding this name, it was written by Sean himself. Although William and Neil once felt that this name was a bit too much, they didn't say anything more under Sean's insistence. Although usually the bigger the gimmick of the name, the heavier the weight it represents-especially for organizations belonging to the dark side such as killer organizations and intelligence agencies, the meaning and weight they have are even more significant.

But at least. It is also a hope.

Under the joint rectification of Neil and William, the Realm of the Void has now become the organization that Sean has invested the most in, but the value generated by this organization is now far exceeding the original investment in him. It can be said that it includes Dabion's two baronies adjacent to Panda. All the territories under Xiao En's command and their surrounding information cannot escape the collection of the Void Realm.

Perhaps compared to the intelligence agencies of a kingdom, the Realm of the Void is not very powerful, but the perfection of its intelligence system is not inferior to the intelligence agencies of the major empires at all. On this point alone, even the intelligence department of the Principality of Ryan cannot compare with the Void Realm—of course, neither Neil nor William, nor Ruby, who is currently in charge of the Void Realm, is very clear. The reason why the Void Realm has such a strong professionalism actually has a lot to do with the size of the territory under Xiao En's command.

It can be said that the current state of the void is able to monitor so many territories and establish such a complete intelligence collection system, which is already the limit, even if it wants to expand a little more. It has also become a luxury.

As for being able to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the intelligence department of the Millennium Covenant Empire, it is because Void City has veterans such as William and Neil who are extremely experienced in intelligence warfare, and most of the Void Realm will be separated from Ruby. It also has a lot to do with the transfer of the manpower back to Void City.

William looked at Ruby who was walking in front of him, and actually felt a little emotional in his heart.

for Rs. At the beginning, William didn't like or dislike him, but in many cases, Ruby's performance was worse than that of a rookie. At that time, William wondered why Sean would pick this brat to take over the Void. However, in the subsequent training, Ruby showed all kinds of amazing talents and keen intuition, which made William really interested in this boy. After several in-depth exchanges, William truly affirmed Ruby's talent.

Until two months ago, when Ruby submitted a proposal called "Project Raven" to him, William knew that it was time to hand over the void to Ruby.

And the subsequent performance, Ruby also fully deserves the word "amazing".

Under the leadership of Ruby, the Realm of the Void, relying on Ruby's keen intuition and the experience he had learned in the Thieves Guild and the wild land, successfully discovered several crises in the Dai and Chirav lands in advance. To a large extent, this can be said to have solved many of the troubles of Neil and William. Although it is not impossible to solve these crises, it will still waste a lot of time.

It was precisely because of Ruby's almost outstanding performance that William led Ruby into this stone path at this moment.

This is a secret stone passage built under the Lord's Mansion.

This stone road leads to an underground prison, which is specially used to imprison prisoners who cannot see the light, and of course it will also be used as a secret refuge when necessary. And this place exists in the entire territory, and no one else knows about it except Neil and William, not even Sean knows about this secret prison.

But just a few minutes ago, this secret prison finally ushered in a third insider.

rupee.

"Mr. William, is the other party really that powerful?" Ruby walked in front and asked respectfully.

For young Ruby, he is most grateful to four people in his life.

The first is naturally the adoptive father who raised him.

And the second place is Sean. Without Sean, Ruby's fate would not be changed, and it would be impossible to meet the third mentor, Im, whom he was grateful for, let alone William, the fourth. A mentor for whom he is grateful.

If it is said that Im taught him how to sneak, assassinate and how to use the environment and other skills, then William can be said to have helped him far more than Im.

Although William didn't teach him how to kill, he taught him something more important than killing, and if he used these things, he didn't even need to do it himself to achieve the same method of killing.

In Ruby's mind. There are two revenges that must be avenged, and in order to complete the revenge, Ruby is willing to give up everything about himself.

So he is very grateful to Sean, and also very grateful to William.

Therefore, Ruby's respect for William is not a superficial respect, but a genuine humility from the heart. Although William didn't say that he was his student, just like Im did back then, but in Ruby's heart, he regarded both Im and William as his teachers.

at this point. I'm afraid it won't change for the rest of my life.

"Of course it's amazing. I almost escaped from Bess's grasp." William looked at Ruby. He was actually very satisfied with this prospective disciple who he didn't like or dislike at the beginning, and it was even more impossible to dislike him now.

But Neil's evaluation of this is. The excitement of accepting apprentices for the first time and the humiliation of being ravaged by him in order to avenge that year.

At least, judging from certain characteristics, Ruby was indeed "tortured" by William.

"Almost escaped from Mr. Bess's hands!?" Ruby exclaimed.

As for Bess, although Ruby didn't know his specific identity, he knew very well that this person was the patron saint of Void City. If there is no such strong man hiding in the shadow of Void City, then whether it is William, Neil, or Sean. They have already died countless times. After all, what these few people, who are still big figures to today's Ruby, have done is something that no one else can imagine.

At least, Ruby thinks. Even a lunatic would not provoke the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, let alone design a trap to target the Goddess of Life.

Compared with these people, Ruby felt that the plans and assumptions he had made for revenge were like children playing house.

"This person is actually so strong!" Ruby said with some emotion. "However, since this is the case, why does he still sneak into our territory? If he wants to kill someone, I'm afraid no one can stop the killer in an instant, right?"

"I'm glad you discovered this keenly." William nodded with satisfaction, "According to Bess, this guy doesn't show any hostility at all, let alone murderous intent, and he also has a very clever way to hide his breath." , so Bess, who has always judged safety based on hostility, murderous intent, and strength of breath, also didn't notice that such a mouse got in, so if he wanted to kill someone, Bess also admitted that he would definitely not be able to do so in the first place. Time saves people."

"Then...then why was he still discovered?"

"You have to ask our great lord about this." William shrugged.

"The lord discovered it?" Ruby was stunned for a moment.

"Don't tell me, although our lord looks a bit stupid, he often has an amazing intuition." William smiled, "especially when it comes to judging people....You look like Alfred, Rena, Stalin, Altdorf, Annuo, Rude, and of course me, were all discovered by the lord Xiao En. Oh, I almost forgot, your name should be added to this talent list, You are also a genius that amazes me."

Being praised so suddenly by William, Ruby blushed slightly and scratched his head in embarrassment.

He remembered that at the moment when Xiao En took him away in the wild land, he was still reluctant in every possible way, and even wanted to escape several times. But judging from the current situation, Ruby is very fortunate that he didn't really escape at the beginning, otherwise, he might not have the status and identity he has today.

Seeing Ruby's blushing face, William felt that this young man was quite cute, so he continued with some rare words: "After this man was found to have a problem by the lord, our idea at the time was that we would rather kill the wrong than kill him." The principle of not letting go, that's why we let Bess take the shot, but we didn't expect that we actually caught a big fish. This is of great benefit to our upcoming plan, and it is precisely because of this that We imprison people in this secret prison."

"Big fish?" Ruby's eyes also showed a hint of excitement. Since being taught by William, Ruby now especially likes the term "big fish". "What is this guy's identity?"

"Hey." William showed a smug smile, "Guess what?"

"Mr. William, how could I know the cat you trained yourself, even the mouse that you didn't find?"

Ruby flattered William quietly.

After hearing Ruby's words, William showed a more smug look on his face, and it was obvious that the flattery was right.

Therefore, William didn't try to show off, and said with a smile: "This guy really has a lot of background. His name is Dills, and he is the chief of the intelligence department of the Millennium Covenant Empire."

Hearing William's words, Ruby froze for an instant.

At this time, his first reaction was not excitement, but panic: I really followed a group of lunatics, right?

Offended the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance in the wild land, turned around and dug a hole for the chief saint of the Church of Life to jump down and prepare to bury her, and now even the head of the intelligence department of the Millennium Covenant Empire is secretly imprisoned... …

Those are the Seven Great Empires!

One of the most powerful countries in the world!

Are these lunatics going to make enemies of the whole world?

Ruby even wondered, could it be said that after offending the whole world of human beings, these lunatics will still fight against gods in the future?

But now, seeing William's smug and excited expression, Ruby knew that if he dared to say these "rebellious" words at this time to make William unhappy, then he would be the one who would be unlucky.

So, when William was a little puzzled by Ruby's silence, he turned his head and saw Ruby with a smile uglier than crying.
