Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 517 36 The Origin of Soul Sacrifice (6)

"This girl's name is Lin Jiu, and she was born in a mountain village 13 miles outside Xuzhou on "Henan Road".

Since the establishment of the "Neighborhood Inspection System", our Legalist instructors have joined forces with the Shushan and Kunlun Sword Sects to kill many ancient monsters hidden among the people.

This girl was originally very safe, because 5 years later we learned that her entire village, all 76 households, had been bribed by the Illuminati.

But there is no airtight wall in the world!

The Illuminati can buy off a village and officials, but it cannot buy off all the residents of a state capital!

The powerful "neighborhood inspection system" still allows the existence of girls to be leaked.

In the second year of Yuanhe, a group of merchants passing by the village to sell dates chose to sleep outside the mountain village. At night, an idle man working as a date seller sneaked into the village. He originally wanted to steal two chickens to eat. Unexpectedly, after jumping into a farmhouse, he suddenly saw water vapor coming out of the window in a room.

The idle man originally thought that this was a lady or young lady taking a bath. He just got closer to the glass and unexpectedly saw a few blond and blue-eyed mysterious people writing complex magic circles on the back of a girl!

Although the idle man does not know a lot of Chinese characters, he has been in casinos and wine shops all year round, and he has really heard a lot of stories from storytellers.

The appearance of Westerners in a wilderness mountain village is already completely weird. The formation they drew on the girl's back is more like the coming ceremony of the evil god described by storytellers!

Therefore, Xianhan did not stay or even return to the team. He returned to Xuzhou covered with stars and moonlight and reported the whole incident to the prefect of Xuzhou.

This idle man's luck is really good. He caught up with the old magistrate who had just resigned and the new magistrate had only taken over the court for two days.

The Illuminati hasn't had time to bribe him yet!

The trusted prefect of Xuzhou was named ‘Xie Baogen’. He comes from a rough background, is decisive in killing, and is well versed in the skills to deal with such strange things.

He did not choose to alert the enemy, but sent a legalist action team to observe secretly for a few days. After discovering that it was indeed true, he still didn't say anything, but found his mistress, a "witch" who once believed in King Xin!

Relying on the Vulcan Cult's "Witch's Dream", Xie Baogen discovered the secret hidden in the villagers' minds!

This girl has been valued by Westerners since before she was born. They gave the girl's biological parents a large amount of gold and silver, and drew complex formations on the girl's back on the second day after she was born.

This painting lasted for 5 years.

Mr. Loki, you don't need to look at me like that. I am still in the awkward stage of "voting for the Illuminati", so I don't know what the purpose of this formation is.

But there is no doubt that this is an ominous sign

Because Westerners will not waste such huge manpower and material resources for no reason to do an insignificant thing!

The advice given by the instructor is based on secret observation and must not be taken off guard. Therefore, the entire action team never went deep into the village until the girl slowly grew up to the age of 5, and she began to draw unfamiliar characters and speak an unfamiliar language.

The Illuminati suddenly decided to transport her away, and the mentors knew that the time was ripe to close the net! "

What happened next profoundly demonstrated the power and forbearance of the Legalist school before Loki's eyes.

According to the general routine, after the political party that rules a country discovers a secret society lurking within the country, after a long enough period of observation, they will inevitably capture them all with thunderous means.

What followed was a routine of torture, interrogation, and exposure of accomplices.

However, the brain circuits of Legalist teachers seem to be inherently different from ordinary people. When they discovered that the "Illuminati" had hundreds of people lurking inside the Eastern Tang Dynasty for a long time, and the only task of these hundreds of people turned out to be to transport a 5-year-old girl out of the country.

Concubine Xue's superior, the Legalist tutor code-named "Old Madam", keenly sensed a hint of something abnormal.

First of all, there are no less than a hundred state nobles in this hidden line!

They traveled frequently to various prefectures every day, and even if they encountered military disasters and cholera, they still did not dare to delay their work.

This is enough to show that this ignorant girl with a humble appearance has great value in this gang.

Secondly, the Illuminati's secret agents take this action very seriously.

They invested a lot of manpower and material resources without asking for money or information. Their purpose was just to smuggle a girl out of the country.

In the era of Tang Xuanzong's rule sixty years ago, they could have done this kind of thing at will. However, since Li Chun, Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty, came to power, his success in reducing vassal states in successive years made him begin to pay more and more attention to the contribution of the Legalist school.

With the support of the two major governance concepts of "victory of the people" and "control of the people", the Tang State stepped up its investigation of every treaty port.

Except for caravans with official travel certificates printed on them, any merchants passing through treaty ports, whether by land or water, will undergo extremely strict inspections.

The Illuminati members had been planning for a year simply trying to transport the girl across the country.

A year later, the method they came up with was also very desperate.

They first found a Nascent Soul sword cultivator.

Then he spent a huge amount of money to find a Mohist disciple who was good at "Mokist Puppetry" and built a precise puppet of the same size as the sword cultivator in proportion.

Before clearing the level, the puppet opens its hollow abdomen so that the girl can hide inside the puppet's body.

As for dealing with the interrogation, the "Nascent Soul" repaired by the Nascent Soul Sword was temporarily separated from the body and hidden in the wooden body of the puppet. Through the soul separation of a powerful swordsman, the girl was successfully transported out of the country.

It was not unheard of for Western profiteers to take advantage of the war to smuggle Tang women out of the country.

This is mainly because the Eastern Tang Dynasty never sold women. Traders from the Tang Dynasty were accustomed to riding on the necks of foreigners for their own good, and residents of other countries also wanted to try out the women of the Tang Dynasty, so there would be unscrupulous traders who would take risks from time to time.

However, even if Yang Yuhuan was reincarnated, it would be too grand to transport a frail girl out of the customs with such great efforts.

The "Old Madam" has worked in intelligence all his life, so he has an extremely keen sense of smell for this seemingly ordinary matter.

She decided to do the opposite.

The "Old Madam" made the following plan for his three-person team of Concubine Xue.

First of all, this secret passage of the Illuminati cannot be stayed for a long time. Chi Ze suddenly changed, and she immediately mobilized all her troops to kill all the Illuminati members whose identities were known within her sight.

Regardless of their title or rank, they will all be executed on the spot, and the cause of their death will be covered up on the grounds of "emergency illness".

As for the girl who had just been transported out of the country, the Illuminati sent a legalist action team to rob the girl back with the mysterious cargo code-named "Soul Sacrifice".

Later, through severe torture and extremely sophisticated torture methods, the Madam successfully asked the caravan that their goal was to send soul sacrifices to the Northern Continent.

She took advantage of the situation and handed the girl to a chamber of commerce called "Hengcheng", which was responsible for desert routes in the northern continent.

The next step is the essence of the entire operation.

The Madam instructs Concubine Xue, who has been hiding in the shadows for a long time, to surrender to the Illuminati!

Don’t you like to develop peripheral members among the top officials of various major countries?

Very good, I will give you one.

At this point, Concubine Xue finally emerged from the shadows.

**

The Madam made three considerations in choosing Concubine Xue.

First of all, Concubine Xue's personal ability is very strong. She assisted Tang Xianzong in reducing the vassal status, and the several assassination missions she completed were still impeccable no matter how critical you looked at them.

Secondly, Concubine Xue’s age is extremely confusing.

This considerate but skilled assassin is actually only 20 years old. Even in the Assassin Academy, many instructors did not believe that Concubine Xue was responsible for these shining achievements.

They were more willing to believe that the Madam or Tang Qianye was advising her behind the scenes.

The most important thing is her low-key personality.

The only one who knows about Concubine Xue's existence is the Legalist Assassin School located deep in the mountains.

Walking out of the mountains, even the vast majority of Legalist politicians active around Tang Xianzong were completely unaware of her existence.

Being a newbie and extremely low-key, she has never actively strived for fame and fortune, but has honestly fulfilled her duties as an assassin.

Even for a disciple of Legalism, this is still a rare quality.

Therefore, the "Old Madam" placed a heavy bet on Concubine Xue. For the first time, she promoted Concubine Xue to 12 levels and directly gave her the position of "Tang Envoy".

This is completely rare when the Legalist school dominates and the entire country is almost closed.

After arriving in the Western Continent, the two secretly entered the city of Paris and tried to form an alliance with Loki. However, they were driven out of the castle without mercy.

The old bustard borrowed Po Xia's donkey and immediately changed hands and asked Concubine Xue to switch to the Illuminati.

With the fall of Mutu, the "King of Earth and Sea", the remaining 11 suzerains will not be able to establish readily available combat power in the Mediterranean business district for a period of time.

Amid internal and external troubles, and the fact that peripheral members like Concubine Xue, who had just lost their soul as a sacrifice, the Illuminati could only wish for it!

However, simply having a conflict with Loki is not enough to explain the problem.

The investment certificate is still an indispensable means.

The first task assigned by the Illuminati to Concubine Xue was to take back the soul sacrifice from the "Hengcheng". She must have the determination to "slaughter her own people" before she can be admitted into the society with confidence.

In this way, there is the scene that Loki saw in the desert after waking up.

Concubine Xue led the "Crescent Trading Company" to attack the underworld, massacred and looted the "Hengcheng".

This was a watertight plan of action.

Regarding what the "Illuminati" needed, Concubine Xue's mind was as clear as a mirror. What they need is a hidden stake that is powerful and can use sufficient social resources.

After receiving the certificate of submission, Concubine Xue still needs to continue to use the title of "Tang Envoy" to serve the Illuminati. Therefore, she cannot take action herself and must rely on outsiders.

In this way, the Illuminati can first see whether she has sufficient resources to mobilize.

Secondly, she can also see clearly whether this person is as smart as she appears to be.

After all, the Illuminati does not raise idlers, let alone fools.

However, everything is unexpected. "Loki", an uncertain factor, suddenly entered the scene and snatched away the precious "soul sacrifice".

Concubine Xue, who was lurking in Memphis waiting for the result, knew that she had to make an immediate decision.

Loki Starrag bore the terrifying name of the "God Killer", and he even killed Mutu, one of the 12 masters of the Illuminati, the "King of Earthsea", under the witness of millions of people.

It is extremely irrational to take action against him.

But at the same time, it is equally important to complete the latent tasks set by the Legalist School!

The Legalist School has invested so much manpower and material resources in the early stage for this latent operation.

If you can become a nail driven into the Illuminati, you will make a huge contribution to the stability of the country.

There was not much time left for Concubine Xue.

Her brain was working rapidly all night, and when the sky turned pale, she decided to use the most primitive method to achieve her goal.

be honest.

He dragged out all the plans he had made to Loki in exchange for his joining and support.

This seems extremely risky, but if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find the hidden logic.

First of all, Loki, who killed Mutu, the "King of Earthsea" in full public view, must be the sworn enemy of the Illuminati.

The enemy of your enemy is not an enemy, if not a friend. Even if he cannot return the "soul sacrifice" to himself for the time being, he will not leak the secret he told him.

Secondly, the task assigned by the Illuminati to itself is to deliver soul sacrifices to the Temple of Anubis, where there will be Styx sacrifices connected with itself.

As long as the conversion is completed with the Styx Priest, his mission will be declared completed.

Although she had only met Loki once, and even though the experience of that meeting was far from pleasant, Concubine Xue still chose to believe in his character.

Choosing to believe that when he hears the complete truth from his own direction, he will continue to fight against the Illuminati, whose hands and eyes can reach the sky, as usual.

She held her breath and waited for his answer.
