Regardless of any world, no matter what era, the construction of spiritual civilization and self-identity are important tasks of all leaders, and the Acate family’s efforts in this regard have been traced back thousands of years.
An important means for nobles to confirm their sense of identity is historical inheritance. Therefore, just like any great noble family, from the time the family was established, each lord will leave something as much as possible for future generations to prove their existence. The most typical nature is the portrait.
My son knows what I look like, my grandson knows what I look like, but my grandson’s grandson is not necessarily so. This is very realistic. No one dares to pat his chest to guarantee a hundred years of peace , Let alone ordinary people.
Therefore, portraits are particularly important. In order to save their appearance for future generations to admire, the heads of the Acate family will generally hire contemporary people for their portraits when they are in their twenties or thirties. These portraits are kept in the family department. In the warehouse, Luo Ya often looked at it when he was young.
Of course, he didn't maintain much respect at that time. Like any naughty kid, Roja was also a beauty pageant, and he had been selected for many "most beautiful ancestors", and one of them impressed him particularly deeply.
That is an old ancestor who made the world famous hundreds of years ago, Vincent Acate.
Vincent's adventure, this is a family story that Roja has often heard since he was a child, and after he grew up and awakened his blood, Roja became more curious about this ancestor who also awakened his blood.
Vincent's era was too far away, and most of the relevant records were gone, but only his appearance was clearly remembered by Roja, and therefore he was recognized by Lingshi the first time.
"Unexpectedly, [Lord] was actually him."
Roja watched the sparkling wine in the glass and listened to the sound of ice cubes hitting the wall of the glass when it was gently shaken. He was full of thoughts for a while, and at the same time there was some not-so-good premonition and great curiosity deep in his heart.
Vincent Acate, this is a name that means legend in itself. If it is the lord of another Acate family, then joining a transcendent organization Roja feels nothing, but when this person is Vincent, I'm afraid it's a big deal.
Vincent was the top powerhouse in the human world at the time. Could the organization he joined be an ordinary organization? More importantly, if Roja is right, Vincent should not be the leader of this organization.
He clearly remembered one of the fragments that flashed through his mind. It was a scene of a group of people having a meeting on both sides of a table. On that table, Sent was not in the first place, but rather at the back.
Of course, he in that picture is still young, about 18 years old, but according to historical records, Vincent at that time was at least Source Level 3.
At source level 3, you can't even sit in the front row, which is a bit too scary.
You should know that in Xia now, there are very few people at Source Level 1, and Source Level 2 is already the pinnacle of combat power. For example, Prince Vader, who was once seen by Roja in the past, is at the end of a severely wounded crossbow, but there is also about one person. The ability of the big battlefield.
This kind of power in this world can already lead people to open up territory, and once again, Source Level 3, although it is quite different from Source Level 2, it is more than enough to be a general of a great power.
However, this level of combat power is actually not ranked on that table, then the overall strength of the organization is terrible, and depending on the situation, the queen of the Sofia dynasty is also a member of the organization.
"What kind of organization is it that allows Vincent to join?"
The same bloodline made Roja very curious about this. If he helped Charlotte before for money and strength, now he really wants to understand something.
The blood-awakened people of the Acate family have been short-lived for generations. Why is this? Was their disappearance a result of an adversary or an accident? If there is an enemy, who is the enemy
Countless mysteries ups and downs in the black-haired boy's heart, and his worried look also aroused the curiosity of the girl on the bed.
"Roya... What's the matter with you? His face is so ugly."
"Huh? Ah, nothing, thinking about the previous thing."
"Did our ancestors join the Twilight Sage Association?"
"Um... hey?"
Roja, who was thinking hard, turned his head abruptly when she heard Charlotte's words, staring at the girl in surprise, and the girl with brown-red hair was taken aback.
"You, do you know which organization they joined?"
"Well, I can see the logo on their chests in Lingshi, which is indeed the identity of the Twilight Sage Association."
"Twilight Sage Association, what is that?"
Roja shook his face when he heard the name of this evil organization. In his previous life, it was nothing good to touch the dusk, especially the organization. Eight of the ten were to destroy the world.
Isn't your ancestor a member of a cult
Roja thought so worriedly, but there was no haze on Charlotte's face. She lowered the hand holding the pillow slightly to reveal the whole face, and thought for a while hesitated:
"Actually, I only know this name. As for how I knew it... You also know that Sorovia’s intelligence network has the widest coverage in all of Siya, because of the lack of strength within our clan, has it been included in the past 100 years? Among the less extraordinary families, one of them is the assassin’s famous Men Karratha family..."
Charlotte whispered, Roja shook the wine and listened for a while, finally understood the ins and outs of the matter, and at the same time understood something.
That's how fierce this Karratha family is.
The Karratha family, once known as the strongest assassin in the world, has a reputation similar to Hassan in the previous life of Roja, but unlike the religious assassination sect, the Karratha family is a true traditional performer.
It is said that the origin of the Karratha family is related to assassinations, taking on black jobs from generation to generation, good craftsmanship, and many praises, but it is really famous because of a genius.
That was a Patriarch of Karratha at that time. As an assassin, he personally took the order, and he slammed the face of the Austin Empire at the time.
Although Roja didn't understand why an assassin would smash his face, it didn't matter. All in all, the assassin was stubborn and highlighted the results.
He suddenly killed the Austin prince.
The emperor is fine. The prince is dead. Normally this is not a big deal. After all, the Emperor Austin has many stallions and has always been able to give birth. Just find another son, but the problem is that the prince is unusual, he It's been forty years.
The forty-year prince was suddenly killed when he was about to ascend to the throne. Roja felt miserable. However, it was not over yet. The prince died suddenly and the old emperor was dying. As a result, the Austin Empire experienced civil strife that lasted for ten years. A large amount of national power was consumed in empty space, and in the following decades, it was unable to annex the surrounding small countries, which greatly changed the pattern of the world.
The Karratha family became famous as a result of the first battle and became the uncrowned king of the assassins in the following centuries, but this was only a moment. Austin's long-term pursuit eventually led to the decline of the family, and it was established in Roselle. After that, they immediately fell into Sorovia's arms and sought refuge.
At that time, the Karratha family had nothing left, only three or two of the remnants were defeated, but they provided a lot of information on the past of the family, one of which was the reason for the assassination of the Austin royal family.
"The Kalatha family's information records that their ancestors were a member of an extraordinary organization called the Twilight Sage Association. That incident was the task of the organization, and the emblem of the Twilight Sage Association in the information is the same as what I saw in my spiritual vision. exactly the same."
"So, does this organization still exist?"
"It's gone for a long time. The evidence is the decline of the Karratha family. Originally, the Karratha family paid such a high price for the mission. The Karratha family should have been taken care of by this organization, but the fact is that the support was suddenly cut off hundreds of years ago. Never contacted again."
Charlotte’s words made Roya raised his eyebrows. Normally, this kind of transcendent organization wouldn’t be so cheating on its own people, especially members who have done a lot of work for the organization, I want to know if this kind of secret Associations cannot provide protection for members, so no one will be willing to sacrifice their lives for them.
From the queen of the Sofia dynasty to Vincent Akat, to the Kalatha family, the king of assassins, and the Twilight Sage, this secret association of transcendents buried in history is probably quite strong, even strong enough to dare to make members Tuao The face of the royal family of the Sting Empire, but such an organization, why did it suddenly disappear
The disappearance of this powerful secret association is basically impossible to dissolve, and there are too many stakeholders, so there is basically only one possibility.
destruction.
"... I always feel that the mystery is getting more and more, what is [egg], what is the purpose of Vincent and their organization, we don't know these."
"Yeah... But, in fact, we still know some things, right?"
"Huh? What is it?"
"That is, the relationship between Queen Isabella and Mr. Vincent."
Charlotte, who had already put down the pillow, felt inexplicably shy when she said that, she reached out and picked up the pillow again and hugged it into her arms, looking at Roya's flushed face in a soft voice:
"They should be lovers."
"... Yeah, haha, what a coincidence."
"Yes, yes."
"..."
In the room, Roja was talking with the girl, feeling a little weird. His ancestors were lovers in the past, but now the two are unmarried couples. Although it has been hundreds of years, Roja thinks it should be such a coincidence in the world. Not much.
A hazy sense of destiny came from the past, covering the two silently. As time passed, Charlotte felt a little dizzy in her brain and a little aching heartbeat. She didn't know what was wrong with her, and On the other side, Luo Ya also frequently sipped wine, hoping to cool his restless heart with the cold wine.
Silence continued between the two, and there seemed to be a bit more ambiguous in the air, and the voices of the men and women who were still caring outside the window continued, somewhat harsh.
"I, let's sleep."
After hesitating for a long time, the girl who squeezed her body said so shyly.
