In a quaint courtyard, the first thing that catches the eye is two pomegranate trees more than three meters high. The trees are arranged vertically by the east wall of the courtyard. There is a half-meter wall around the trees, which is filled with various flowers and plants. On the northernmost side are a few crape myrtles with small red flowers. Near the roadside are various hanging baskets with green leaves hanging from the wall to the ground. A pot of cactus stands proudly. At the southern end are some beautiful grasses, elegant and lovely.
There are some bamboos standing upright on the west side of the road. There is a small fountain in the center of the road, dividing the road into two parts. The two complement each other and add a bit of tranquility to the courtyard.
This scene makes people feel like they have returned to peacetime, and even makes them forget that they are living in the end of the world.
Although the order has been restored and the dilapidated past has been abandoned, and the population of one million no longer has to worry about food, the owner of such a beautiful garden is not something that ordinary people can have. Such a person must be either rich or noble!
In a snow-white small Chinese-style house, there was a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He was dressed quite elegantly, with a suit and tie that was straight, and he was completely meticulous, with a kind of luxurious air of Western European aristocrats. He gently put down his greasy knife and fork, wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel, and said in a gentle tone:
"Wei Xun, let's get straight to the point. Why did you invite me here?" Xu Zhe said calmly, looking ahead.
The person sitting in the room at this time was actually one of the eight heroes. However, unlike the Valkyrie Xu Hongzhuang, Xu Zhe's strength was not outstanding. But his computer-like brain was the key to Order becoming the steel behemoth it is today!
When the other party was at the bronze level, as soon as an idea came to his mind, dozens or even hundreds of solutions would flash through his mind. And now, under Chen Feng's deliberate cultivation, the other party has also been promoted to the legendary level. It is conceivable how terrifying and appalling his brain computing power is now!
"Wei Xun, if you ask me that, I will tell you clearly, can you let me lead the team into the abyss this time?"
Wei Xun looked straight ahead, his eyes were as sharp and sinister as an eagle, flashing with ferocity at all times. He had fought for several years and established his prestige in the Blood Battle Department. He was also one of the eight heroes. However, unlike Xu Hongzhuang and Xu Zhe, Wei Xun gave people a feeling of biting cold and terror. It was a feeling that as long as you get close to the other person, you will feel cold all over.
It would have been fine if Wei Xun hadn't spoken, but once he opened his mouth, he actually asked Xu Zhe to stop competing for the opening of the Abyss Fortress.
Because of Fulla's pregnancy, the Demon Fortress was in a state of no one to take care of it. This time, the reason why Order held such a large-scale melee was to decide some winners who could manage the Demon Fortress on behalf of Fulla!
Professionals are not like ordinary people. Their temperaments have long become extraordinary. For ordinary people, a stable life is very important, but for professionals, strength is their capital to survive in this doomsday.
With different strengths and standing at different heights, the vision is naturally different!
Just like the meal that Wei Xun prepared for Xu Zhe today, tonight's dinner was extremely sumptuous, with all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables that were hard to find outside, all kinds of fish and shrimp from the ponds and the sea, and a lot of non-toxic insect meat that was hunted, processed and cooked. Braised, grilled, stir-fried, and steamed, the food was colorful, fragrant, and delicious. Due to the novelty and tenderness of the ingredients, the food was even more delicious than the Manchu Han Banquet!
Even though order has solved the problem of hunger nowadays, most people can only have enough food and clothing, and are not qualified to enjoy delicacies like this!
Xu Zhe narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Xun. His voice became a little unfamiliar compared to before and he said, "What do you mean? Do you want the Blood War Department to lead this Abyss Reform?"
The reward Chen Feng offered this time was very generous. He also knew that the abyss was far away from the human world and was extremely dangerous. It was very likely that once you went there, you would never be able to come back. Therefore, he would give the winner most of the rights to the fortress, which meant that the other party could mobilize most of the fortress's combat power to fight and kill!
If this happened in ancient times, it would be no less than dividing the territory and making the opposite sex the king!
Precisely because of this, this Abyss Fortress has attracted the attention of countless people. In addition to other professionals, long-established figures like Wei Xun and Xu Zhe also want to get this opportunity. However, they cannot participate in the battle due to their identities. However, after several years of cultivation, they have a lot of powerful confidants in their hands. As long as they can win, the beneficiaries will naturally be Wei Xun and Xu Zhe, people who stand at the top of the pyramid!
In this situation, all forces will send out their most powerful rookies, and naturally a real fight between dragons and tigers will unfold!
Hearing Xu Zhe's question, Wei Xun nodded and said, "In terms of strength, our Blood Battle Division is still superior, but I need to admit that you have a lot of intelligent professionals under your command. In terms of brains, my people are not as good as you. I am not asking you to give up the competition, but we can cooperate and join forces to get rid of the other forces first. At that time, you and I will go to the abyss and take over the position of lord there!"
"Aren't you afraid that my Lord will blame you for doing this?" Xu Zhe did not refute immediately, but asked Wei Xun.
Wei Xun smiled grimly and said, "I have followed my Lord for too long and I know his character. To him, the result is the most important, and the process is not so important. Besides, you and I have been to the abyss and we know that it is far from order and a remote place. Even if we use some tricks to win, my Lord will not blame us."
Xu Zhe pondered for a few seconds and asked, "What do you want? You invited me here today just to say this? You are the most powerful part of the Order Rule Blood War Department, second only to one person, so why do you want to take such a big risk to cooperate with me?"
The abyss is not a good place. It is desolate, remote and seemingly a dead place. Xu Zhe is just curious as to why Wei Xun must gain control of the fortress there.
Wei Xun shook his head and said, "It would be a lie to say that I have no selfish motives, but I am absolutely loyal to my Lord. The reason why I want to master that place is because my realm has encountered some bottlenecks. I have been stuck in the legendary realm for a while, and I want to impact a higher level!"
"But the area around Order has been cleaned up, and there are no formidable opponents. I have been living in a daze every day without making any progress. But now it is different. As long as I can gain control of the fortress, I can apply to the adults and go to the Abyss to guard those rookies for a period of time!"
"And if my people eventually gain the right to speak, I will be able to stand behind them and become a regent. There is only one thing I need to do. In addition to expanding territory for my master, I will gather hundreds of thousands or even millions of demon armies to launch a campaign. I will devour more souls and complete my own promotion ceremony on the battlefield!"
