"I said. It's not impossible to let you intervene in it."
Standing where he was, Chen Heng looked at Delia in front of him, and said calmly.
His words were very cold, matching his Philip's face, he looked very stern.
However, Delia didn't care about it, didn't feel it, and was even very used to it.
After all, in usual times, Philip looked like this, so there was nothing strange about it.
And compared to Chen Heng's appearance, he cared more about Chen Heng's attitude at the moment.
"Philip, my dear friend."
At the same spot, he got up suddenly, and then said with some disbelief: "Are you really willing to let me join in?"
"certainly."
Chen Heng glanced at him, and said lightly, "Since you came here on purpose, what's the use if I drive you away?"
"Could it be that if I don't let you join in, you won't be able to leave?"
After the words fell, Delia showed embarrassment on his face.
Indeed, even if Chen Heng asked him to leave and not let him join in, would he have left
What a joke.
Those who can hold power in a cult like the Red Lotus Society for many years are not the kind of thin-skinned people.
If this kind of person is really such a person, I am afraid that he will be eaten up by others long ago, and it will not be his turn to hold power.
"However, you also know the value of that Princess Aurier."
Chen Heng looked at Delia in front of him, with a playful look on his face: "I managed to catch him, and since he came to my territory, he is my property."
"You want to enjoy the sacrifice, it's fine, but shouldn't you pay something?"
really.
Listening to Chen Heng's words, this thought flashed in Delia's mind, but the smile on her face did not change: "What do you want?"
"As long as it is what I can give, I will give you everything."
"The small evolutionary stone vein in the north, how about giving him to me?"
Chen Heng said calmly, and directly stated his request: "My request is not high, as long as I can use it for ten years."
"Using that Princess Aurier in exchange for the right to use the mine vein for ten years, isn't this a requirement?"
For Chen Heng, most of the resources in Delia's hands are useless.
But among so many things, there are always some that he can use.
The evolution stone vein in Delia's hands is one of them.
According to what Philip learned from his memory, although the mine vein is small, it can still produce a few small evolutionary stones every year, which is considered a good place.
Evolution stones are equally important to Chen Heng, as they can enhance his true spirit and speed up his practice.
Opposite Chen Heng, listening to Chen Heng's words, various thoughts flashed in Delia's mind.
"No, five years at most."
Standing where he was, various thoughts flashed through his mind, and then subconsciously retorted: "Dear friend, you have to understand that that ore lode is the most important thing in my hands."
"If you use it directly, it will make me feel very troubled."
"Five years at most, no more."
Standing in place, he gritted his teeth, and said so, looking very firm, as if he couldn't retreat a step.
But in fact, he was ready for Chen Heng to open his mouth to bargain.
But to his surprise, in front of his eyes, Chen Heng just nodded and said directly: "Deal."
After the words fell, Delia couldn't help being stunned, as if she was a little surprised by Chen Heng's attitude.
Something is wrong.
Within the Red Lotus Society, Philip, represented by Delia and Chen Heng, was an old rival.
According to Delia's understanding of Philip, it is almost impossible for the other party not to argue with him in this matter.
It is rare to agree so straightforwardly as now.
Is it transgender
Standing on the same spot, various thoughts flashed through his mind, but his face did not change much. He still had the smile on his face before, and quickly nodded to Chen Heng in front of him, and said, "Okay, deal."
With a smile on his face, he looked like he had made a lot of money.
Chen Heng glanced at the other party, and then ignored him.
A while later, in the office, Delia walked out with great interest. From the looks of it, he should be going to inspect his spoils.
Chen Heng sat alone in front of a wooden table, holding a cup of tea in his hand, watching Delia's figure leave with some amusement, just sitting like this.
"Elder."
On the side, the servant who was always standing beside Chen Heng couldn't help but said, "It's not good to just let that old guy take advantage of it."
Hearing the voice, Chen Heng raised his head and glanced at this person.
The faint eyes fell on that person, obviously very plain, but with a breathtaking aura, which made the person in front of him feel terrified.
"You want to teach me how to do things?"
The faint words fell, and there seemed to be a piercing killing intent in them, making people feel as if they were in the abyss of death, full of horror.
With a puff, the servant in front of him knelt down on the ground. At this moment, his face instinctively revealed the color of fear: "Elder Philip, Ke Ao dare not."
The person in front of him is also an official member of the Red Lotus Society. Judging from Philip's past memories, he seems to be a relative of Philip, a confidant who was single-handedly picked up by him.
In the past, this person stayed with Philip all year round, so he didn't have much restraint in speaking.
But today, he felt that Elder Philip had changed his appearance, becoming more majestic and terrifying. Every move carried an inexplicable majesty, which made him feel horrified.
Just a slightly cold look in his eyes made him kneel down involuntarily, not daring to move rashly.
"Get up."
From the side, Chen Heng's voice continued, and it became much calmer now.
Ke Ao raised his head and found that Chen Heng had stood up at this moment, standing in front of him.
"Send someone down to inform, let our people gather and prepare to leave."
Standing where he was, Chen Heng spoke lightly and said so.
"leave?"
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Ke Ao was taken aback subconsciously: "Where are we going?"
"Of course I went to Elder Delia's residence."
With a playful look on Chen Heng's face, he showed a slight smile at the moment: "Didn't Elder Delia hand over one of his residences to us just now?"
"Since I'm free now, of course it's time to receive it."
"This obeys"
Ke Ao hesitated for a moment, still feeling something was wrong.
If it's just to receive the resident, it's enough to send two people there, why do you want to bring everyone there together
It's like moving house.
However, Ke Ao didn't dare to question Chen Heng's decision, so he could only get up obediently and go down to work.
Standing where he was, Chen Heng looked at Ke Ao's back and shook his head silently.
"Still weak."
The legacy left by Philip is good, not only has a lot of resources and network of contacts, but also a large number of relatively loyal confidantes.
But relatively speaking, although the loyalty of these followers is not bad, but the strength is too bad.
If you want to count on them to do things, you don't have to think about some big things.
"You still have to retrain yourself."
Standing where he was, this thought flashed through Chen Heng's mind, and then he took a step and walked out.
For the next few days, everything was quiet all around.
After receiving Chen Heng's promise, Delia was not in a hurry to bring Gunali to the altar, but was going to put it on the ceremony three days later, just like the original Philip.
After all, the so-called sacrificial ceremony does not mean that it can be held just by holding it.
The magic circle needs to be adjusted, the sacrifices need to be collected, and all kinds of things need to be done by people, which cannot be completed in a moment.
Soon, three days passed.
Three days later, when the sun outside rose, the gate of the stone palace slowly opened.
"Well"
Lying in the corner of the stone palace, watching the gate of the outside palace slowly open, Gunali couldn't help raising her head, looking in that direction with some haziness, as if she still didn't wake up.
"Is it dawn again?"
Lying on the ground, the thought flashed through her mind.
During these three days, Gunali suffered a lot.
Inside this stone palace, there are no usual conditions.
Here, Gunali ate unpalatable black bread, slept on a hard stone bed, and had no clothes at all.
This harsh condition is nothing to most people in this world, but it is a very sad day for Gunali, who has lived a wealthy life since she was a child and is the jewel in the palm of the Olier family.
Therefore, during these three days, Gunali has been tempered a lot.
And now, it's a new day.
"Is anyone here to distribute food again?"
Sitting upright on the ground, Gunali leaned against the wall behind her, looking at the person walking in front of her slowly, this thought flashed in her mind.
During these three days, people will come in every day to distribute food and the like to the people here, lest they starve to death here.
Therefore, Gunali is somewhat used to these people.
But this time things seem to be different.
When the gate of the stone palace was opened, and the Red Lotus Society members wearing red robes walked in, Gunali suddenly woke up.
"It's those people before."
The thought flashed through her mind quickly, and she recognized those people.
Three days ago, it was these people in front of them who were arrested in this stone palace and took many people out.
And now, three days later, these came again.
And this time, it seems that the action is even bigger.
Three days ago, these people only arrested a few people, and they didn't mean to catch all the people in this stone palace.
But not this time.
Looking at the situation in front of them, it seems that these people are going to arrest everyone this time, and put all of them on the altar.
"Damn it!"
Aside, a voice came.
Gunali turned around subconsciously, just in time to see Mary standing beside her with a livid face.
"Sister Mary."
She immediately stood behind Mary, and spoke with some fear.
"I've been here for over a month."
In front of her, Mary sighed softly, and then said, "But it looks like this, it's finally my turn today."
Looking at Gunali in front of her, she sighed: "It doesn't matter if I die. It's a pity that you are still so young."
During this time, Mary took great care of the young Gunali and solved many troubles for her.
For Gunali, she treats her as her own sister.
But now, I'm afraid it's hard for her to save herself, let alone Gunali.
Ahead, a man in a red robe came forward and came in front of Mary and the two of them.
"You don't need to come."
Mary looked at the person in front of her coldly: "I will go by myself."
After the words fell, she walked forward alone, towards the door.
Behind her, Gunali looked at Mary's back, took a deep breath, and quickly walked forward.
Watching the two of them leave, the members of the Red Lotus Society around them turned around and followed them all the way forward.
"Follow us all the time"
Walking on the road, Mary looked around calmly. At this moment, thoughts were circulating in her mind: "It seems that Gunali's identity is more important than I imagined, so they are so close."
All around, the others were accompanied only by a servant or two, to keep them out of trouble.
But beside Mary and Gunali, several members of the Red Lotus Society followed directly, as if they were afraid that they would run away.
Obviously, this kind of treatment is not available to ordinary people, it must be because of Gunali.
Mary noticed this and her heart moved.
Just looking at the few members of the Red Lotus Society who were watching him all the time, he finally sighed and gave up all the struggles.
Among the sacrifices around, Mary's strength is not bad, it seems that she has practiced martial arts and has a little strength.
But this strength is not even as good as a trainee martial artist, let alone these people around.
Being watched by these people, she has no chance at all.
Soon, they reached the end and came to an altar.
In front of the altar, a man was standing there.
Compared with other people around, the man is very special.
Around, those members of the Red Lotus Society, regardless of gender, wear masks on their faces to cover up their true appearance.
This seems to be a rule within the Red Lotus Society.
But the middle-aged man in front of him didn't wear such a mask, he just stood there, looking in the direction of Mary with a smile on his face.
Strictly speaking, he was not looking at Marie, but at Gunneri behind her.
"What a delicious offering."
Standing on the same spot, Delia looked at the ignorant and tired Gunali ahead, couldn't help smiling, and felt a little excited in her heart.
As one of the three elders of the Red Lotus Society, they have all practiced the Black King Ceremony, and they have an instinctive feeling for the sacrifices used for the sacrifice.
So at this moment, he can feel the extraordinaryness of Gunali at a glance.
If she is used as a sacrifice, he will definitely be able to obtain a huge reward, and even if he is allowed to go one step further and break that boundary, it is not impossible.
