Avis, Shadow Order Headquarters—

The hall of the Order's headquarters, which was usually as empty and cold as a cemetery, was now full of members who had been ordered by the leader to come from all planes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Near-full-scale attendance like this is rare, and there are only a handful of precedents in the Order's long history.

Some of the instructors hid themselves under their cloaks and did their best to blend in with the shadows and remained silent, while others whispered or used sign language and other methods that barely made a noise to communicate the purpose of the 'Shadow-sama' command.

Their leader, Lord Shadow, was sitting in the deepest room of the Headquarters.

Outwardly, the Shadow is characterless, not as mysterious as Jascord or as neurotic as Nikolai.

He is about 50 years old, his body is neither fat nor thin, and the forehead and the corners of his eyes are beginning to show signs of age. Judging from the monocle hanging on his face, he looks like an ordinary middle-aged uncle, or a middle-aged uncle who is forced by life to compromise. There are fierce wives in the family, naughty children, bosses looking for trouble, and all kinds of unsatisfactory ones.

This face would not attract anyone's attention in the slightest, and it was hard to imagine that he was the boss of the Shadow Order in the multiverse.

At this point, he stared at a special device in front of him.

The device is called the Plane Spore Observatory.

This is the legendary powerful god who tried to get his hands on Avis, and since his fall, this artifact that can be seen in the multiverse has fallen into the hands of the Shadow Order.

"Hold the blood! I have a shield wall."

"Nurse come on, DPS ready"

"Watch your position! Don't put too much pressure on the wet nurse."

"Where's holy water! Spread the holy water! ”

"Boss, I can't hold it!"

“……”

In the picture, it is the scene of several players forming a group to farm the boss.

After looking at it for a while, 'Phantom' chose to turn off the Dimensional Spore Observatory.

These visitors from the other world are no different from many mortals who have suddenly gained power, they are fierce, competitive, and greedy. Although it cannot be ruled out that there are some righteous messengers with noble conduct, there are also criminals who are ashamed of even the evils of the lower planes.

The Shadow suddenly became a little distracted.

More than three hundred years have passed since he took over the Shadow Order. From the original ambition to the current dying, I finally see a glimmer of success today.

Nearly half of the God-Slayer Armed Forces have been collected, and they have reached the final moment of launching the plan, and only the key Book of the Dead is missing.

Thinking of the importance of the Book of the Dead, the Shadow was tempted to immediately use the Plane Spore Observatory to check the Tower of the Stars, but reason stopped him.

This artifact that once belonged to the gods is not truly omniscient and omnipotent, and if you use it to observe some special places, not only will you not see anything, but it will also be detected by the strong people who are observed, and it will reveal the location of the Shadow Order.

Unfortunately, Jescord is one of the powerhouses who can detect prying eyes.

Soon, he suppressed his curiosity.

Time is the greatest force, no one can deny that. What was once a sloppy thief has now become the leader of the Shadow Order, and hundreds of years have taught him the most important skills of all - waiting and patience.

Now that the past is a thing of the past, even if time can be turned back, his choice will still not change.

"Shadow-sama, you called me?"

Pressing a button next to him, a subordinate who heard the summons came in and knelt down on one knee and asked.

The Shadow would love to complain that you're kneeling in the wrong direction, bastard! But he also understands that it is not the fault of his subordinates. Who made him weak since 'that incident'?

In the past, even if he stood in front of his subordinates to speak, others only heard his voice and did not see him, the 'ghost' never deliberately hid it at all, and Dafang Fang stood in front of them and turned a blind eye......

"Are you all here?"

Packing up his mood, Jascord asked in a rather dignified voice.

"All personnel on standby, except for those on duty, are on standby."

"Tell them to stay in the headquarters for the last time"

"Yes!"

The invasion plan of the evil creatures has just begun, and the situation is still relatively stable, and a few demons alone will not be able to make much of a storm, and fishing in troubled waters will have to wait for the full-scale invasion to begin......

"Also, inform ......"

As he pondered what to do in the future, he was suddenly shocked and looked at the large row of candles on the wall behind him.

"Possessed Demon...... He's dead? ”

The candle belonging to the possessed demon was suddenly extinguished, and not only that, but even the candle itself was crushed into powder by an inexplicable force.

Others don't know the ability to possess the demon, but the 'phantom' is very clear. If it tries to escape, it won't be so easy for 'Shadow' himself to catch it.

'Phantom' even thought that in the future, when he became an ancient, he would hand over the position of Phantom to the possessed demon, but later considering that the demon's heart was embarrassed and useful, he didn't expect the possessed demon who was favored by him to die so easily?

Who's doing it! Jeskode?

The first suspicion was of course the owner of the Tower of the Stars, but the Shadow dispelled that idea.

Not Jeskode!

He was very aware of the temper of that old friend, and for the sake of his long-time friend, Jascord could at best catch the possessed demon and play with it, and it was impossible for him to kill him.

Just as the Shadow was contemplating the murderer, the image of the possessed demon before he died arrived.

They were three magical images recorded in a first-person perspective, inevitably somewhat distorted, representing the possession in a state of great horror before his death.

The first screen shows a large group of people standing, apparently at the beginning of the caster's exam.

The 'Phantom' immediately recognized from the crowd that An Yizhi, who had repeatedly sabotaged the Order's plans, could it be that the death of the possessed demon had something to do with him? Can he ...... with his strength?

The second is the purpose of the Possessed Demon's Tower of Trials, an ebony box.

It's a pity to lose a general, but compared to the pages of the Book of the Dead, the loss of the possessed demon is nothing.

Aside from the fact that there is only one magical image, this clue alone is enough for the Shadow Order to find the true location of the page, after all, they are most famous in the multiverse for their ability to find objects.

As for the third one, there was actually a shirtless guy in a white coat.

Nikolai? Meyer......

The 'Phantom' was startled, and spat out a bloody arrow.

"Your Excellency!"

This frightened the subordinate who was waiting for the order, and he couldn't see where the 'ghost' was, but he could see the blood.

"I'm fine...... Ahem......"

Just caught off guard, 'Shadow' suffered a dark loss.

The old madman is so powerful......

'Shadow' sighed with emotion, he was once a member of the same adventure team as Jaskord, Nikolai and others, and when he was young, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he had to make a name for himself, explored countless secret realms, and encountered countless dangers.

Unexpectedly, when I get old, I can't get back to my previous relationship.

"Use that chess piece and find out who Ann is pointing at me"

"Yes!"

"Wait"

'Phantom' stroked his sullen chest and called back to his subordinates who had been ordered to leave:

"Forget it, don't use her, let her continue to lurk"

If this An Yizhi really had a relationship with 'that person', the pages of the Book of the Dead would naturally fall into his hands, and he would not be guilty of using that chess piece for such a trivial matter.

The Shadow waved his subordinates away, and he was alone in his room, not knowing what he was thinking, perhaps reminiscing about his youthful adventures......

Tower of Trials, Level 6 -

According to the original process, this is the final destination of the candidates, and it is also the place where the examiners secretly observe the candidates' troubles through magical images.

Now, because of the sudden attack of the Shadow Order, the examiners have run out to 'put out the fire', and only the owner of the Star Tower is left in the empty hall.

A blue portal opened from behind him, and Jace Cod said without looking back:

"Sit down, kids"

Two chairs with backrests fell beside Ann Yizhi, and he put John down first, and sat down unceremoniously.

"Tsk, how does it feel? Cool? ”

An Yi fingered: "......"

"I don't have any sense of humor at a young age"

Pouting, Jescord said in a more solemn tone:

"Congratulations to the two of you for passing the caster qualification test and becoming the mage of the Star Tower, this is your credential, take it"

The so-called certificate is actually a badge made of precious stones, with a black base plate and a pattern of countless twinkling stars.

An Yi took a finger and found that the quality was just an ornament, and he suddenly lost interest, and stuffed it into his dimensional pocket casually.

"I ...... Did I pass? Really passed! Ann pointed to you, I really passed! ”

John was overjoyed, and his face flushed with excitement.

"You have demonstrated the qualities of the caster in your tests, and there is no doubt about this badge"

Jaskode smiled, "From today onwards, the Tower of the Stars will be your strongest support, clearing all obstacles in your arcane path."

An Yizhi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Can you ......?"

"No, you can't"

“……”

"I know you want me to help you get rid of the Skeletron who is making trouble for you, don't even think about it, make trouble by yourself"

You are Mao's strong backing!

"But......" How could the old and sophisticated Jeskod not guess what An Yizhi was thinking, and his tone changed: "We people in the Star Tower are not so easy to bully." If someone dares to provoke the head, report my name directly, and if they are not satisfied, they will do it, and they can't call me for help. Let me tell you, the mage industry is who listens to whom, have you ever heard of the Three Towers Alliance? I personally found the boss of the two towers of the Emerald Mystery."

This line ...... How does it feel like an opening of the hall, full of ruffians!

John felt that the image of Jescord in his mind was crumbling, and he had changed from an outsider to an old rascal who liked to 'disagree'......

"Ahem......" coughed lightly, and Jescord changed to a serious face:

"John? Kuks, your talents are not suitable for the Tower of the Stars, and I have a letter of recommendation to the Tower of Mysteries, where I believe you will be more fully trained, and of course, the doors of the Tower of the Stars are always open for you."

The envelope flew into John's hand out of thin air, and she looked at Ann Yizhi, then at Jascord, and solemnly put it away.

"Okay, I still have something to talk to An Yizhi about next, you go and deal with the wound first"

"Wait, esteemed Master Jescord, I would like to ask you ...... Billy"

"He's fine, just fainted, you can see him at the medical office"

Before John could finish speaking, Jescord waved her away, turned his face to Ann, and smiled lewdly:

"Seriously, not at all? You don't have a problem with your sexual orientation, do you? ”

An Yi fingered: "......"

It's not black or blowing, to be honest, the soft feeling of 34D sticking to the back is really exciting, and as a normal man, An Yizhi is also a little dark......

"No kidding, let's be honest. Visitors from the other world are a finger, or call yourself as you are more accustomed to...... Gamer? ”

Jascord retracted his face, and his deep gaze shone with wisdom.
