Chapter 075: Mystery (Alliance Leader)
"Of course you'll have to give us an explanation, J of Spades! So many resources were used, just to hunt down a level 10 imp. And the operation itself has not been authorized by us, which is a violation of the rules! The female voice reprimanded harshly.
"Believe me, brothers, this is no ordinary prey." "He is the grandson of Horn, the chief of the Beth Kod family, and the son of the youngest daughter, Lannie. His name is Alan, who was exiled to the surface half a year ago and was sold by the Black Widow hunting group to a small surface merchant to participate in the death ring in place of his son, thus gaining a chance to set foot in Babylon again. ”
It was also because of the death ring that Horn was able to recognize him and bring him back to his family. According to my intel on this, Horn has already announced Allen's identity among his immediate blood relatives and family allies. If there are no accidents, Horn will help this child enter the heir sequence, and the ranking will not be too low. ”
"So what?" The voice in the middle of the light screen said, "Will there be fewer heirs to Horn?" Do you want to hunt them one by one? Also, the Jack of Spades, I've heard that you had some unpleasant things with Beth Kod before. Are you sure this is not using the resources of the Light Hidden Society, but rather satisfying some of your personal needs? Like, to fight competitors? ”
"Never!" The J of Spades denied: "There is a reason why I would make a judgment to hunt, even bypass normal procedures, and launch an attack without the authorization of a few people." In the death ring, coincidentally, the committee arranged for Huton to be a mentor to the teenager. ”
"Hughton? That crazy old drunkard? It was definitely a mistake for him to refuse to join us back then, looking at him now, can he still design more than ten Rubik's Cube sequences with his trembling hands? The man on the screen on the right laughed.
"That's right, Hughton is no longer than it used to be, and it is not even reused by the Federation." The J of Spades nodded his head and said, "But don't forget jì, he hasn't forgotten jì's knowledge." And using this knowledge, he helped Allen's child modify the restrictions on the use of a magic weapon, thus giving Allen another level of help. ”
"Well, even so, so what?"
"The problem is that Alan had visited Hughton before setting out to hunt the Black Widow on the surface. Before that, I heard that Hughton was interested in instructing this kid on the Rubik's Cube sequence. The Jack of Spades shook his fist to emphasize the weight of his words: "Imagine what it would be like if Beskode, a beast, mastered the development of magical weapons?" ”
"It's not just Bescord who has mastered the ability to develop magical energy weapons, not to mention, it's hard to say whether that young man can have this talent. If you're going to attack for that, Jack of Spades, I can only think you're going too far. The man in the middle of the screen said: "From your explanation above, Jack of Spades, I think you still prefer personal reasons rather than the big picture. Therefore, you have to settle the follow-up related aftermath work by yourself, and Guangyin will not lend you any more resources. It's your problem, and also, if the same incident happens in the future, you should know what to expect. ”
"Remember, don't be overly intrusive. We are Overseers in the dark, not fighters in the sun! Our tentacles are spread across the major star fields, designed to secretly balance a qiē in order to prevent or delay its arrival. If you use the rights we have given you for private gain, then unfortunately we will erase a single piece of information about you. Don't forget jì, in addition to you as an agent, the Earth Federation also has two people, Plum Blossom Q and Red Heart K. You're not our only option. ”
The meeting seemed to end here, and the sound lines in the light screens on three sides were calmed down one by one. The masked man stood on the spot for a long time before he said, "What do you know?" You call yourself Overseers, but do you see the undercurrents of the tide? Are you ignoring Beskod's actions in recent years, yes, there are several other families who also have the ability to develop magical energy weapons. But Beskod can't, once they have the ability to research and develop magic weapons, it's like putting a blade on a beast! ”
"You've all underestimated that old thing Horn, and underestimated the destructive power of this family. Keep removing its fangs now, and by the time it spreads its teeth and claws, it's too late! ”
The eyes behind the mask are bloodshot, and they look so crazy!
A door was pushed open, and the dust behind the door that drifted in the sunlight suddenly flew up, like a dancing elf. Horn's eyes fell on a bed stained with blood, and several family doctors and assistants were tidying up and withdrawing. A woman sat up on the bed, her body covered in bandages. The snow-white bandage was gradually stained red by the blood that was still oozing, like the red maple leaves everywhere in autumn.
"How are you?" Horn asked.
The woman nodded and said, "It's no big deal, master, but I may not be able to carry out the task in the near future." ”
"It's okay, you can rest assured."
"Master, please punish you." The woman raised her head: "I didn't protect Young Master Allen well. ”
"It's okay, he's not alive and well. It's you, you're still so desperate, you obviously have other ways......"
The woman let out a hoarse laugh: "But time didn't allow it at that time, but I didn't expect that Young Master Allen would survive." That's a level 16 killer. ”
"Maybe Alan is still a little lucky, I heard that the killer finally knocked down the little goblin of the Mowson family." Horn said, "Do you know the identity of the other party?" ”
"I don't know, it's a guy I've never seen before."
"I see." Horn nodded and said, "Take care of your injuries, I'll give you three months of vacation." ”
"I don't have to rest for so long, a month is enough."
"Anna......" Horn's eyes softened, "It's time to go home and see the kids, isn't it?" ”
Leaving the room that smelled of disinfectant and blood, Horn returned to his study, where the butler Helsing had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Horn came in, the butler stepped forward and said, "Master, the attack has been handed over to the Ministry of Security for handling, just now Mr. Andrew called and asked what you mean?" ”
"Let him take care of it himself." Horn sat down and asked, "How's Alan doing?" ”
"The young master has been treated at St. Mary's Hospital, and he has a total of 31 knife wounds, including five of the more serious ones, but he is not in serious condition, but he has to undergo two surgeries. It will take about a month before returning to Ugal Fort. ”
"So, is there any news on the murderer's side?"
Hai shook his head with a hard smile: "Mr. Andrew also said that the other party did a very clean job." No matching information could be found in the federal gene bank for the two deceased, and their bodies were destroyed. Now Mr. Andrew has begun to investigate the records of the last month's visit to the island, hoping to find clues from them. ”
Horn shook his head and said, "He can't find it, the other party's hands and feet are so clean, there will be no obvious flaws in this regard." But when this happens, we can't do without a little bit of it. Not to mention that it was Alan who was attacked, even if it was an ordinary family member of us, this matter could not be good. Mr. Hesing, please issue a commission between the hunting group mission platform and the underground killer organization. The rats that hid deep enough blocked all the underground passages, I see if you want to come up, hum! ”
Seeing Horn's preparation, Helsing couldn't help but say, "Master, aren't you going to see the young master?" ”
"I think, but I can't go. At least not now. Horn looked up and gave a rare wry smile, "Mr. Helsing, God knows how much I want to visit Eren now. I've lost Lannie, and I can't afford to lose Ellen again. But I was first the patriarch of Beth Kod, the father of six children, and finally Alan's grandfather. At least until Alan has shown his talents, I can't lean too much towards him, at least not on the surface. That wouldn't be a good thing for him. ”
Helsing nodded, because that would only cause Eren to attract too many enemies before his wings were full. There has never been a shortage of geniuses in the history of the Federation, but high-profile geniuses always fall before they shine. Horn's move is to avoid bringing too much attention to Allen.
"By the way, Mr. Helsing." Horn suddenly raised his head and said calmly: "Go and check the recent income and expenditure of everyone in the clan, I hope that rat will not be among us." ”
At that moment, a cold light flashed in Horn's eyes, and the killing intent like ice chips made Helsing's body chill.
Alan looked out the window, and in the clean blue sky, a magical energy spaceship swept up diagonally, leaving a pale blue light trail in the sky. He yawned and leaned back into bed, a little tired. He had just undergone an operation, and with more than 30 stab wounds on his upper body, hands and feet, he was now covered in bandages, looking like a freshly unearthed mummy.
He is in the VIP ward of St. Mary's Hospital at the moment, and the nearly 30-square-meter suite room is very warmly decorated. The wooden floors on the floor are recognizable, and the Mona Lisa on the walls soothes the patient's mind, even if it is just a fake. The green anchovy bamboo by the window is fluttering in the wind, and a string of wind chimes hanging on the windowsill collides with pleasant notes. This qiē is intended to make patients forget about their own people in the hospital and to relax physically and mentally.
Of course, its daily cost is definitely not low, at least that's a number that Alan doesn't want to ask.
On the table next to the bed, the Devil's Salute was placed. Not long ago, Adele had used it to peel an apple, but instead of falling into Alan's mouth, the apple had fallen into the stomach of the eldest lady of the Morson family. Looking at the dagger, Alan remembered the scene at that time. As he fought with demonic salutes and slayers, the dagger's strange abilities reappeared.
Each time it sliced through the killer's body, the dagger sucked up a drop of blood that fell on it. And Alan found that it not only absorbed blood, but also absorbed the source power of the killer, which he had not realized before.
Or maybe the demonic praise itself has such a power. It's just that Eren had used it to slash people with source power before, so he didn't find out.
But in this way, the mystery of the Devil's Praise deepens! I1387
