"Okay, that's it."
Richard said loudly, waved his hand, and a strong wind was generated, blowing towards the large pool of blood-red liquid that Nuo An had melted into. The liquid was blown away from the place, exposing many items that did not belong to Noan's body, such as tattered clothes, rings, pendants, and of course a book - "Blood Code".
Richard waved his hand again, and with the help of strong wind, he took the "Blood Book" directly in front of him, carefully cleaned it and put it away.
Turning to look at Barry, he said: "The thing I promised you - to help you kill Noah, is now complete. I am ready to leave with this book. As for the rest, it is what you promised me. Those conditions must have been remembered and fulfilled, right?”
"This..." Barry hesitated, deliberately wanting not to admit it, but facing Richard's serious gaze, he didn't have the courage. He nodded lightly and said with a smile, "Of course... Of course I won't forget it. I will definitely honor it. I will obey all your requests."
"That's good." Richard nodded and walked outside, "Having said that, I actually don't have much time to manage your Ancestral Spiritual Association personally. At most, I will send someone over in a few days to help me with some things I entrust you with. , you just need to cooperate when the time comes."
"Yes, yes." Barry nodded repeatedly and followed Richard out of the basement and into the hall on the ground floor.
"Okay, that's about it." Richard stopped in the hall and said, "Exactly what your ancestors will do, someone will tell you in a few days."
"clear."
"Well." Richard said, "Then I'll leave first. Can you handle the rest? Or do you still need my help?"
Barry understood that Richard was referring to Noah's remaining men.
After thinking for a while, he said: "No need, you have killed Nuo An and his most powerful and loyal men, and the rest are no threat. Although I am not very capable, I still have some prestige. Coupled with the support of some elderly people in the meeting, it can be completely handled."
"That's good." Richard said, without wasting any more words, he stepped on his feet and turned into a stream of light and flew out of the hall, leaving the Ancestral Spirit Association's residence.
Barry stood there, looking at the door. He waited for more than ten seconds after Richard left, then let out a long breath and relaxed.
"Huh, this matter is finally over. Damn Noah, he finally got his comeuppance, he deserves it!" Barry yelled, and after a pause, a look of worry appeared on his face, and he murmured, "But let the ancestors meet It's not easy to follow the arrangements of outsiders.
Although I don't have any objections, it's hard for others to say... After all, I'm not as unreasonable as Nuo An, so it's hard for others to listen to me. Speaking of which, this is also a betrayal of the Ancestral Spirit Society. If Uncle Moses and the others object, it will be really difficult.
Fortunately, there are still a few days left, maybe we can find a good way to convince everyone... "
Barry frowned and walked out, discovering for the first time that being the leader was not as easy as he thought.
As a result, as soon as he walked out of the stone building, he met someone.
A lean old man was looking at him outside, as if waiting for him to come out. The wrinkles on his face were deeply sunken into his flesh, and his eyes were extremely bright. He was none other than Moses, the oldest and most senior director of the Ancestral Spirit Society.
"Gudong!"
When Barry saw the other party, he couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling inexplicably guilty.
The old man Moses didn't seem to notice anything strange about Barry, and just asked seriously: "Is everything inside done?"
"Well, it's all over." Barry nodded.
"How's Noan doing?"
"Noan is dead."
"Where's the body?"
"There is no body, it was directly dissolved by that person using a strange potion." Barry answered honestly.
Moses was slightly surprised: "Is that so? Well, it seems that the helper you invited is really good."
Then his tone changed, and Moses looked at Barry and asked seriously: "By the way, if you invite him here, the price is not low, right?"
"Well, he asked to borrow the "Blood Book" for a while. If anything happens in the future, I have to help him..." Barry said carefully, while speaking, he secretly observed Moses' expression.
Moses looked at Barry seriously and asked: "No? Everyone in the square heard this before. That's not what I'm asking. What I'm asking is, inside, did you agree to the new condition? ?”
"This!" Barry's heart trembled, and he almost jumped out of excitement. He was about to blurt out the truth. When it reached his mouth, he tried to swallow it and rolled his eyes in an attempt to change the subject.
"snort!"
Moses made a nasal noise, as if he had read through Barry's mind, and said seriously: "Why, Barry, I have watched you grow up since you were a child. Don't I know what you are thinking? Are you still planning to lie to me?"
"I..." Barry's expression brightened, he hesitated for a few seconds, his expression sank, he let out a breath, and said everything, "That guy is really too much. He always wants to cooperate with Noah. There is no way. I had to give in a little more, so..."
After a few minutes, Moses listened to Barry's story.
Barry looked at Moses nervously, fearing that Moses would be angry, but who knew that Moses was much calmer.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just follow the other party's arrangements." Moses said slowly, "Actually, this is a little better than the worst outcome I thought."
"Really?" Barry was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Uncle Moses, what is the worst outcome you want? Could it be that the other party can go further?"
"Why not? You should know more about that person's strength than I do. It's so easy to kill Nuo An, but it's not too difficult to destroy our entire Ancestral Spirit Association.
Therefore, he can forcefully demand the wealth accumulated by our ancestral spirit society for hundreds of years, except for the "Blood Code", the remaining spell scrolls and precious materials. He can even forcibly select our people and follow him away to become real subordinates instead of the verbal subordinates he is now. "
After hearing what Moses said, Barry's eyes lit up, and he realized that he was actually bound by his imagination. In the basement before, he thought he had given the maximum concession to Richard, but he did not expect that it was far from the limit, and he could still sell the Ancestral Spirit Society even more ruthlessly.
"So, Uncle Moses, what I did is actually very good?" Barry looked at Moses and said.
"Pa!" Moses slapped Barry hard on the head with a skinny hand, and said angrily, "What a ghost! No matter what, you betrayed the interests of the Ancestral Spirit Society, which means Nuo An is dead. Otherwise, based on this, he can execute you ten times and no one can save you."
"Well-"
Barry couldn't help but shrink his neck.
"Okay, okay." Moses waved his hand again, "Now that things are like this, I'm afraid it's useless. Fortunately, once Noah dies, we old guys can barely control the situation and ensure that you, the leader, do a safe job. As for Take your time with the rest of the matter. Maybe once it's taken care of, bad things will disappear. The most important thing is to see what the person who will be sent in a few days is like."
"Yeah." Barry nodded, and couldn't help but become curious in his heart, who would Richard send here.
