Suddenly, Barry stopped talking, his eyes flickered, and he looked around carefully for a few seconds through the night. He said with some hindsight, "Hey, this forest does seem a bit familiar now."
"Large patches of Bakluo trees are rare elsewhere. This... isn't this the... alpine forest northwest of our Soma Alliance's southern capital, Charia, where the Ancestral Spirit Association is located." Barry looked at Richard in surprise. .
"I recognized him." Richard chuckled, "That's good. We can talk about business."
"Business? What business?"
"It's very simple. Not far ahead, there should be the headquarters of your Ancestral Spirit Association. Now I can no longer pursue the matter of your previous attack on me, send you home safely, and help you get rid of your hated opponent - Nuo An, let you become the new leader of the Ancestral Spirit Association. In return, I will borrow the "Blood Code" of your Ancestral Spirit Association for a period of time, study it, and then return it to you."
"This -" Barry hesitated after hearing this, "The "Blood Book" is the most important thing of our Ancestral Spirit Association, = it has never been lent to outsiders. In fact, it is only members of the association, and not everyone can read it. You see. Not only do you want to borrow it now, but you don’t even have a specific time to return it, so I can’t agree to it.”
As Richard continued to fly, he frowned slightly, looked at Barry and asked, "So, you don't agree?"
"No, no, no." Barry was held by the back of Richard's neck and waved quickly, "I mean, the Blood Code is really important. You send me home, get rid of Nuo An, and make me the new leader. These conditions may be good, but they are a little inferior in comparison. So, I think it would be best if you could compensate me a little more."
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean by compensation?"
"You see, now the ancestor spirit will be in extremely bad shape by Nuo An. Even if you really kill him and I become the new leader, his confidants will definitely be unconvinced. I hope you can deal with them all at once. This way my position can be secure.
In addition, I hope you can promise me a condition, that is, if I encounter any difficulties in the future, you must do your best to help me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blackmailing you, I just know that I'm not capable enough, and I feel that with a helper like you, I can be the leader for a few more years. "
In fact, you are planning to treat me as a thug... Your ambition is not small... Richard narrowed his eyes and did not answer in a hurry.
Barry was a little impatient. After waiting for more than ten seconds, he didn't hear Richard's voice. He couldn't help but ask: "Do you think it's okay..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Richard.
"Shh!"
"Um?"
Amidst the boos, Richard stopped his flying movements, carried Barry and quietly landed on the ground, and pouted forward at the confused Barry.
Barry looked forward subconsciously, and through the blurry night, he saw a figure on a tree a hundred meters away, playing with a necklace on his chest in boredom. He was obviously a sentry on guard.
Barry looked at it and was slightly surprised. He lowered his voice and said, "Damn, those are Noah's people. When I left, there weren't many of them. They were just on guard at the station. In just a few days, they expanded the guard area to this place. Here it comes. It seems that Nuo An has recruited a lot of people recently, and his ambition is greater than I thought."
Your ambition is not that small, it's just that your ability cannot match it... Richard said in his heart.
"What do you think?" Barry whispered, subconsciously thinking that Richard had agreed to his previous conditions, and pointed at the unaware sentry in front to give suggestions, "I haven't recovered my strength yet, and I need you to take action. With your strength With his ability, he could easily approach the sentry and get rid of him. After all, he should only be at the level of a wizard's apprentice.
After successfully solving it in this way, we will continue to go deeper from this direction. As long as we encounter the sentry, you will assassinate it and sneak into the station.
I know the place well and can help you get into Noan's bedroom. When the time comes, we will hide there, wait for Nuo An to come in, take advantage of him being defenseless, and kill him quickly.
Then, you protect me and come forward and summon all the people from the Ancestral Spirit Society. I will make it clear about Nuo An's crimes and let people know that we are righteous. By then, Nuo An's men will definitely be dissatisfied, but because Nuo An is dead, it will be difficult to organize a resistance. Next, I will let you deal with them in batches privately, leaving only the old people who support me.
In this way, I can fully control whether the Ancestral Spirit Association is a pure Ancestral Spirit Association. I will be able to give you the "Blood Code" you want without any hindrance. How about it? "
After finishing speaking, Barry looked at Richard with burning eyes, his expression slightly excited.
However, Richard maintained his usual calmness. After thinking for a while, he asked a question: "There are quite a few people in the Zulinghui. How do you identify those who are Nuo An's subordinates and which ones are the old people who support you?"
"It's very simple." Barry whispered, pointing to the sentry who was still playing with the necklace in the distance, "Those with necklaces are Noah's men, and those without, they are not."
"Is that necklace special?"
"It's not special, but it's forbidden." Barry said, "Our ancestral spirit society pays attention to peace. Of course, you can also call it hypocrisy - even if we kill someone, we will not abuse the body.
Noah is different. He is cruel, unabashedly cruel, and forces his men to do so. Every time he killed an enemy, he asked his men to pull out the enemy's teeth and tie them around their necks to show their bravery. His new recruits and those who submitted to him all did this. Only the old people who supported me still adhere to the principle. However, it is impossible to hold on for too long. "
"That's it." Richard nodded.
"Okay, let's act quickly." Barry couldn't help but urge, "It's dark now, which is convenient for hiding. Otherwise, it will be difficult to wait until dawn, and clearing the sentries will be very laborious."
"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome," said Richard.
"Huh?" Barry was a little confused and looked at Richard, "What do you mean?"
"It's very simple. Since we are all about killing people, why do we need to be sneaky? If you want to be efficient, it is actually best to bring them together and solve them in a unified way. You don't want to waste time, and I don't want to waste time, because my time is more precious than yours. .”
Barry glared: "You're crazy! Do you know how many people there are in the Ancestral Spirit Association now? Anyway, I don't know. I only know that Noan has been recruiting wizard apprentices and wizards. It's easy for you to bring them together alone, but With Nuo An's cooperation, it is impossible to kill them all. You will only be killed.
I know that you are very powerful, but if you want your plan to succeed, you must first deal with Nuo An and make the other party's military morale chaotic. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, you will only fail. After all, you can't fight against an entire wizard organization by yourself, right? Even if the ancestral spirit society is not famous, it is impossible. "
"That's not necessarily the case." Richard said softly, glancing at Barry.
Barry saw Richard's gaze and couldn't help but back away: "Hey, you're not really crazy, are you? If you are crazy, I don't want to die with you. I want to leave, I want...ah!"
Suddenly Barry's voice broke into a exclamation.
Richard grabbed the back of Barry's neck again, jumped up into the air, and flew forward at an extremely fast speed.
