"The Crucible Project is actually a plan that has lasted for 10,000 years for the Molia to select the elite." Finch said: "After the First Doomsday War, many of the surviving descendants of Moria have been scattered all over the world, and the war that the Atlantean people only saw was also their own war, everyone had their own strange tricks, including the establishment of the country, crusades, conquests, etc., until 10,000 years ago, organized by the Habs family, the four surviving pure-blood families in the world finally gathered together and established the Moriah Presbyterian Church, and since then the war with the Atlantean Restoration Order has entered a phase of stalemate." ”

"Sounds like it's a long history......" Long Yun yawned, he personally didn't like to hear Finch talk about family history.

"To make the whole 'Crucible Project' clear, I think it is necessary to briefly explain the entire structure of the Moria Presbyterian Church." Finch got up from the couch, walked to the bar in the corner of the office, reached out and took out a bottle of Japanese Taketsuru whiskey from it, poured two glasses, and turned back to hand one to Long Yun.

"There are four departments in charge of operations in the Council of Elders, including the Presbyterian security forces responsible for general security and operational support, and then the Men in Black troops, and then the young elite group Demon Hunter Knights, Neo and Lanstrrow, Curtis, Michelle are just a small part of the Demon Hunter Knights, the Demon Hunter Knights are different from the Paladin, they have no limit in number, as long as they are young elites, they can be listed as one of them with the consent of the Elders. Gege had been invited before, but she had declined. ”

"So, this iceberg girl still has a bit of a personality, and it's not ashamed to work with a group of mixed-race people?" Hearing Finch say this, Long Yun admired Gege's point, at least he could accept Gege's style better than those members of the Demon Hunter Knights who looked like nobles in Europe.

"Gege is an outlier, although she is of Moria blood, but her family is special in the Moria race, and has a deep background, which will be discussed later." Finch took a sip of bamboo whiskey, shook the round ice cube inside, and said slowly: "The most elite and most experienced members of the Elder Council are the Paladins, and the Paladins are only twelve in the entire Elders, and the number of places is strictly limited. ”

Listening to this pyramid-like organizational structure, Long Yun vaguely guessed some clues, and couldn't help but say, "What do you mean, what kind of plan is that training plan to provide fresh blood for the paladin team?" ”

Bang Bang –

Finch held the glass in his left hand and snapped his fingers in the air with his right hand.

"That's right! You are very smart! I was right! His face was a little red, and he didn't know if it was because he drank too much damn Japanese whisky or was too excited, "Strictly speaking, it's a chance for everyone to move up to the next level." The Crucible Project is never easy to open, and a new selection will only be opened when someone among the paladins dies. In 91, as a Leo knight in the Presbyterian Paladin, Charlemagne, that is, Neo's father, he disappeared during Operation Spy Island, and it has been ten years now, and it is almost certain that he is dead. So this time, after careful consideration by the Council of Elders, it was decided to launch a 'Crucible Project'. ”

"It's so mysterious, I don't know what the benefits are......" Long Yun really couldn't understand why Finch was so excited, in his opinion, what pure-bloods, what half-bloods, what Tianmu Company, what Elders, it had nothing to do with him, he just wanted to kill those guys who had the blood of his teammates on their hands.

Just like what he yelled at Kebby in the Bo mining area of Sierra Leone - even if you chase to the ends of the earth, I won't let you go!

This is Long Yun's character, and it is also his consistent style of doing things, the reason why the name "ghost" is so feared in the African mercenary circle is also because of Long Yun's style of acting with revenge.

In 00, during an operation in Algiers, the ghost team was betrayed by a former Egyptian intelligence officer and sold the information to a big drug lord. As a result, the king and duke were seriously wounded, and the assassin escaped, and finally the team broke out with the help of a local man.

A month later, the intelligence officer, who had fled to South America, was found lying dead under a bridge in a remote town in a certain country, and the local who had helped the ghost team was given $100,000 in cash.

After the news broke, no one dared to betray the Ghost Group.

Fame is always made by typing, not shouting.

"Of course there are benefits!" Finch sat back down on the couch, still excited, "You know, hybrids weren't allowed to participate in battles in the past, let alone participate in the Crucible Project. The Crucible Project selects the top 10 finalists based on their selection results each time, and the chosen ones are sent to Moriah's sanctuary of Valhalla for a month-long training session dedicated to the training of paladins, and finally the best achievers are selected to fill the paladin spot. ”

"What are the benefits of being a paladin?" Long Yun's words almost choked Finch to death.

"This ......," said Finch, "Valhalla is the place where the souls of the gods of Moriah belong, and studying there can greatly improve one's natural skills, and if you are lucky, you may even get the legendary holy weapon, like the Grammer Sword in Neo's hand." ”

"That's all there is to it?" These god-chattering things are indeed not attractive to Long Yun.

Finch exclaimed, "Isn't that enough? Not to mention that the half-breed can become a paladin, even if it can get the top ten, I believe that from now on, in Moriah's race, the status of the half-breed and the pure-blood will not be so different, which proves that the half-breed can also make a difference! ”

"Doctor, why do you look so excited?" Long Yun said.

Finch was stunned and suddenly sighed: "You may not know what it's like to be a half-blood, but I know very well, just like black and white Americans in the sixties." During World War II, I was only in charge of logistical support, but then I finally got a chance to show my face during the Oak Ridge incident and caught the spy Cage who had infiltrated our American branch, and when the Presbyterians asked me what reward I wanted, I simply said, let me participate in the operation in Hiroshima, let me personally send the guy I caught to hell! Why should I do this? Because this spy is my catch, not their pretentious pureblood! ”

Speaking of this, his chest continued to rise and fall, as if recalling the eventful years of the past, and the majesty of his youth seemed to return to this old body in an instant, making him look refreshed.

However, after only less than ten seconds, this high-spirited state immediately resembled a deflated balloon.

"Alas......" Finch suddenly sighed, "but there is no use, and the fragrance can only be an instant, not an eternity." After that, the Council of Elders still didn't look down on the half-bloods. It wasn't until I foresaw Charlemagne, and his father, Mr. Habs, that they were brilliant visionaries, and they both admired the half-bloods, but the other elders in the Presbyterian Church and the four pure-blood families were vehemently opposed, so we half-bloods didn't have a bright future. Later, with the support of Charlemagne and Mr. Habs, the American branch was finally changed to the Sky Curtain Company, and I also went my own way, which was to use modern technology combined with our ancient talents to fight the Atlanteans, and the 'Sky Eye' system was my proud work. Unfortunately, Charlemagne disappeared not long after, but fortunately, Mr. Habs still secretly supported us, so he made an exception to let our American division of hybrids participate in the selection of the 'Melting Pot Project'. Of course, the Council of Elders also put forward a bet that if none of us made it to the top 10 this time, the Sky Curtain Company would be disbanded, and the Council of Elders would take over completely, and the signboard of the American branch would be restored ......"

Long Yun silently listened to Finch's statement, and suddenly said, "If I join the Heavenly Canopy and get the top ten in the Crucible Selection, will you be able to agree to all my conditions?" ”

Finch's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Of course, as long as it is under the structure of the Tianmu Company and within my authority, I will agree to whatever conditions you want!" ”

"My condition is that I be asked to reorganize my ghost team, and that the personnel will be selected by me, and the company will provide enough funds to work for the company, but I still have one more request."

"Say!"

"When it comes to the death of a member of my previous mercenary team, I have a priority level. Also, Julia wants to join my ghost group. ”

After a few moments, Finch stood up from the couch and raised his glass and shouted, "Deal!" If you can get the top ten, the company's best quality resources will be tilted to you, I will set up a special organization for you, set up a mobile team in the company's headquarters, regardless of jurisdiction, the whole world can perform tasks! ”

With such generous conditions, it is impossible for Long Yun not to agree, what else is there not to agree? He is already desperate, but Finch has no intention of making things difficult, asking for money for money, asking for people, giving resources to resources. The strength of Tianmu Company, Long Yun has seen it, and he has a strong enough background in the military and intelligence agencies, with this support, what can he do!?

The only hurdle in front of him is to get the top ten places in the selection of the Crucible Project, although Long Yun doesn't know what kind of perverted training mode is behind this bluffing name, but the greater the benefit, the greater the risk, and the pie will not fall from the sky!

Fight!

Long Yun lightly touched Finch's cup.

"Deal!"
