Chapter 374 Substituting one thing for another (2)

As a member of the Dark Abyss Historical Society, Tatiana actually has another unknown identity.

She has a similar origin to Baron Ferlando. Both have the blood of the St. Steele royal family, and they are both "distant relatives" who are not valued very much. It is precisely because of this that the two of them met very early. We have known each other since that time, and if we had to count, Baron Ferlando could even be considered Tatiana's cousin.

However, this weak kinship is completely unimportant in Tatiana's eyes.

Since joining the Black Sun Society and personally feeling the long-lasting power "above the world of Van En", she has actively abandoned all her past interpersonal relationships. Tatiana believes that the relationship between these inferior beings and species The fragile connections used to maintain interconnections have no practical significance. There should be a more pure way of relating between individuals.

At the same time, Tatiana also abandoned the titles originating from the St. Steele royal family and the corresponding status and power. In her opinion, these things also have no practical significance. They will only hinder her exploration. Truth, pursue the footsteps of faith.

It is precisely because of this that Tatiana has never been satisfied with Baron Ferlando.

Although the two have similar origins, Baron Ferlando is obviously more enthusiastic about "chasing fame and fortune". This tendency is regarded by Tatiana as insincerity in faith and impurity in one's own pursuit.

However, the bond of the Black Sun Society finally connected the two.

Although Tatiana does not agree with some of the Baron's views, she must also admit that in the process of the Black Sun Society achieving its goals and realizing its great vision, it still needs the help of secular power, so she finally He still chose to deepen his cooperation with Fei Orlando.

But now, the partnership seems to be on the verge of collapse.

The changes in the situation have made the importance of Watch City continue to grow, and the failure of the previous "Great Promotion Ceremony" given by the Dark Abyss Palace has made this area even more subtle. Under the current situation, any threat and All unstable factors need to be completely eliminated as soon as possible. As for those who caused these troubles due to their own negligence, they must be responsible for these effects.

Tatiana knew that this time, if her old partner could survive the accident in the mine, he might not be able to escape the guilt of association, unless he really has the ability to do it before his shooting camp is in place. In this case, eliminate all hidden dangers.

"I hope you can do it."

Tatiana, who was riding the Asalu Bird, sneered, and then controlled her mount to dive in the predetermined direction. Now, she could already see the lights in the Rock Lake Mine. Looking from a distance, it seems that the crystal spotlights in the mine are still operating normally, but the huge ceremonial venue used to cover the mine and its surrounding areas has disappeared.

The giant Asaru bird made a low cry, which indicated that a killing had just occurred nearby - the giant Asaru bird was very sensitive to the fresh smell of blood, and to be able to react to this degree, it was obvious that the killing was The scale is also very impressive.

At this time, the people in the mine seemed to have noticed the "visitor" in the sky, so several crystal spotlights turned towards the sky, and the huge and bright light pillars swept across quickly, reflecting Asalu. Amazing wingspan.

Then something unexpected happened to Tatiana.

She saw a magic signal rising rapidly from the central area of ​​the Yanhu Mine. It left a very conspicuous dark trace in the sky, and suddenly exploded after reaching high altitude. Silver-gray magic lines quickly spread across the night sky. After weaving and shaping, an extremely standard black sun pattern was finally formed, and in the center of this black sun pattern, more silver lines formed several stable magic symbols.

The moment she saw these symbols, Tatiana was a little surprised.

This is a signal commonly used within the Black Sun Society. It is specially used to convey messages to one's comrades when secret communication is impossible. The meaning of this signal is very clear - the enemy has been destroyed and follow-up support is needed.

Among them, the symbol used to express "need support" was repeated three times in a row. Obviously the person who sent the signal hoped to use this to emphasize his tone.

And this is indeed one of Ferlando's habits.

Tatiana was cautious. Although she received the warning, she did not rush to land. Instead, she took out the simple communication secret device she carried with her and sent a simple communication device to the two companions who were temporarily separated from her. message, allowing them to suspend their attack plan.

The teams gathering in the distance obviously saw the magic signal in the sky, so they quickly gave their own response, saying that they would suspend their attack.

After getting the exact reply, Tatiana piloted the Asalu Giant Bird to slowly descend in height and began to fly around the Rock Lake Mine. She wanted to take a good look at what was going on in the mine.

At this time, Xiuge, who was standing in the Yanhu Mine, was already ready to "receive guests."

This time, he did not plan to use any violent methods against the arriving guest, because judging from the detection results of the magic rats he had spread out, once he launched an attack on those visitors, the entire Yanhu Mine would be destroyed. Become the most conspicuous focus near Watch City.

Therefore, Shuge decisively implemented the original plan.

And this is the most critical step for him and his team to completely break into the Kingdom of St. Steele.

Before and after entering the Kingdom of St. Steele, Shuge used the abilities he mastered to conduct an extremely profound study and analysis of the status of the St. Steele royal family and the Black Sun Society.

Various signs and evidence indicate that although the Black Sun Society now controls the entire territory of St. Steele with its weird rituals and its own powerful power, in fact, they have no control over the town, the army, and even the entire Saint Steele bureaucracy. The method is still very crude and crude, which leaves many loopholes that can be exploited.

The most typical one is the problem of personnel composition.

At the current stage, there is no way within the Kingdom of St. Steele to even keep a clear list of personnel in the official army, let alone those "temporary workers" recruited from the private sector by the Black Sun Society.

Most of the soldiers and supervisors in Yanhu Mine can be classified into this category.

Deserters, refugees, gangsters, or ordinary residents who lost their jobs because of the war... they are the main components of these temporary armies. The Black Sun Society has not yet had time to draw up a specific roster for these people, and there is no time to list their names. The situation coalesced into the bowels of a turbulent bureaucracy.

"It is very dangerous to blend into today's Saint Steele as a citizen. For the Black Sun Society, ordinary citizens of Saint Steele are basically important targets who need to change their beliefs. In this case , lurking spies and secret agents are easily detected by their secret rituals."

"Therefore, those targets who have changed their minds or are recognized as 'loyal believers' by the Black Sun Society are our first choice."

"We need to find a suitable target, eliminate it completely, and then find ways to replace ourselves... take the initiative to create some changes, strengthen the Black Sun Society's trust in us, and create enough space for more subsequent plans and actions. "

In the light of the mine, Shuge, who was holding the crystal gun and the magic book of association, raised his head. The psychedelic rainbow color flashed rapidly in his eyes, and then the gloomy dark abyss magic surged out, destroying the roots of fate. The traces of the tribe's activities were completely covered up.

The last time he used such a large-scale illusion to deceive his enemies was when Shuge was trapped in Salem City, and that time, the target he needed to deceive was also the descendant of An Yuan who had huge intellectual and sensory deficiencies.

But now, what he needs to face is a Black Sun Society mage who has good magical strength and is cautious enough.

Therefore, this illusion of destiny that covers most of the Rock Lake Mine must be done in all the details.

Fortunately, the Destiny Roots seem to be very confident in such a task. They are even extremely happy with the order issued by Shuge. For them, they can work in such a place where corpses are everywhere and a lot of negative emotions are attached. Local activities are really a pleasure.

Shuge himself further strengthened his image as Baron Ferlando.

Now, his appearance is completely different from that of an hour ago.

The "St. Steele royal temperament" that Fei Orlando always deliberately maintained has disappeared. Now he is covered in blood, and there is even a hateful scar on his face - it seems to be a crystallized bullet passing through his cheek. The clothes he wore that were always clean and gorgeous were now covered in dust and all kinds of dirt.

The Baron was kneeling on one knee in front of a severely damaged sculpture.

That is the secret ritual that is extremely important to the Black Sun Society. It still retains the aura of the Dark Abyss Palace that is extremely familiar to all members of the Black Sun Society. However, now, because the secret ritual has been severely damaged, this secret ritual has been severely damaged. The "sacred" aura has become weak and disordered, and the sculpture fragments scattered nearby indicate that it once suffered a frontal impact from some extraordinary destructive magic.

On the other side, in the open space in front of the mine not too far away from the Baron, there were a large number of corpses lying down.

Most of these corpses are wearing the clothes of the miners in the mine, and a few are wearing the standard St. Steele military uniform. Now, another group of soldiers are cleaning up this messy battlefield, and they are removing these different corpses. Stacked separately and counted, some miners stood timidly next to this clearing. They were being guarded by a group of heavily armed soldiers and overseers.

After confirming that there were no other signs of turmoil in the mine, Tatiana finally controlled the Asaru giant bird to slowly land next to the destroyed secret ritual sculpture. Baron Ferlando, who was kneeling on one knee, raised his head. Come, the extremely gloomy eyes fell on Tatiana, and some invisible pressure made the Asalu giant bird with keen senses shrink its neck - it was a little afraid of the man in front of it.

"Hey, Ms. Tatiana, I thought you didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all."

Xiuge stood up slowly with this baron's face in mind. Following Ferlando's past memories and habits, he took the lead in questioning Tatiana who had just landed: "Why, aren't you going to continue to make two more turns in the sky?" ?”

Faced with Fei Orlando's familiar tone, Tatiana breathed a sigh of relief. Based on the scenes in front of her, she could basically confirm that her "partner" had not betrayed the Black Sun Society. Something must have happened in the mine. There were some unexpected situations.

"Fei Orlando, you should explain what happened here. The army has already assembled not far away. If you don't want to be killed by crystal shells, then stop shirking responsibility!"

"Shirk responsibility?"

Hearing this word, the baron's blood-stained face became extremely ferocious and distorted. He asked in a hoarse voice: "What responsibility do you think I, a person who has just taken over this place for less than half a day, should shirk? I would like to ask. , how do you monitor the surrounding areas? Why would someone be able to tamper with our secret ceremony? Why will my itinerary be completely exposed? Why did the workers in this mine choose to launch a riot tonight and succeed? Did you get a lot of weapons?"

At this point, he seemed to become extremely angry. He pointed with the crystal gun in his hand to the burning camp on the other side of the mine, and then pointed to the open space full of corpses: "My servants and followers are almost They are all dead. Not only did the miners know all the arrangements I made, they even destroyed the secret surveillance rituals in the mine in advance... Heh, guess whether they did it themselves, or was someone helping them? "

"Wait a minute, Ferlando, are you trying to say that the person who was previously in charge of this mine has rebelled against the association? This is an accusation!"

"Nonsense, of course this is an accusation!"

The Baron was obviously a little hysterical: "Do you know what it feels like to see our secret ritual explode from the inside? If you look at these corpses, almost all the miners participated in the rebellion. They had planned it long ago. A considerable number of people have already escaped into the secret passage in the mine!"

Having said this, he took a deep breath, and his mood finally seemed to ease a little. Then he stared at Tatiana and said: "If I were you, madam, I would go and kill the person who was previously in charge of this mine. He was captured...I want to confront him, under the witness of the secret ceremony, I hope you can still catch him!"
