Minister of Defense Vesga was away, Chief of the Royal Guard Aiding stayed in the Silver Palace, the princess was still preparing for the ceremony, and Avic completely delegated power to Gallon. The entire royal palace was almost in the hands of Garen alone.
In fact, this is Garen cleaning out the spies of the Heitian Society in the entire palace according to the historical pictures he saw. Most of those who were cleaned up were the eyes and ears of the Great Princess.
It's just because the reasons he used were not sufficient, and he didn't bother to think about so many reasons, so he just found some excuses and killed a large number of people. This made his reputation worse and worse. But anyway, the reputation of the Terry Jones family has long been stinking at home. As early as Vindman's experiments with living people were exposed, the entire family had no reputation at all. So Garen didn't bother to abide by these cumbersome morals.
As long as nothing happens to Avic's secret treasure shelter, then everything will be fine. Some of the guards and maids of the royal palace are backed up by people. Now is a critical period, we must not be soft-handed, we must completely cut off the eyes and ears of the big princess.
If you don't check, you don't know. After checking, Garen was shocked to find that the princess's people were everywhere in the palace. So he ruthlessly killed these spies from the Heitian Society.
Now that Bai Lan said that he was actually more terrifying than a monster, Garen felt a little dumbfounded.
"Don't you old friends know what I am? It makes me sad that you don't trust me so much."
Bai Lan said with some worry.
"Actually, my grandfather also said that you are standing on the cusp of the storm, and it will be really troublesome when Wisgar comes back. You need to prepare early."
"I know." Garen nodded.
"Okay, I'm leaving first. Those two guys are still waiting for news from me. If you have time, come out and have fun with us. It's been a long time since we got together." Bai Lan patted Garen on the shoulder.
"I send you."
Jia Long sent Bai Lan outside the palace, and then arranged for the Black Fire Guard to send him out of the palace before returning.
It has been a while since he became the lord of the palace, and the industry of the Terry Jones family has also expanded rapidly with the improvement of status.
A few days ago, Garen ransacked a financial official who was seriously corrupt, and he also secretly intercepted a small part of his property, just in time to pay back all the money owed to the child. As for his methods, Avic actually turned a blind eye to it.
After cleaning so many eyes and ears, Garen still didn't find out how the Heitian Club really planned to do it.
Return to the main hall of the Black Fire Palace.
He sat on the palace lord's throne with a dark red pattern, crossed his hands, and fell into thought.
Two rows of heavy guards from the Black Flame stood on both sides of the main hall.
There are also subdivisions in the Blackfire Guard. Generally, those who wear heavy armor are Type 2 elite strength, and those who wear heavy armor plus a cloak are Type 3 strength. There are a total of 200 people in the entire Blackfire Guard. In fact, their strength far exceeds that of ordinary totem masters of the same level. The most important thing is that each of them is not afraid of life and death.
There are many Empire II totem masters, but there are really too few people who dare not be afraid of death. Behind every totem master, there is a huge supply chain of resources, and there are interest groups of all sizes. When it comes to life and death, there are absolutely very few people who are foolish and desperate.
But the Black Flame Heavy Guard is different, this is equivalent to the death squad of the second-type elite totem master. As long as Garen gave an order, they could unleash their strongest strength at any time.
In fact, even so, they are not very useful to Avic. There are not a few elite totem masters of the second type in the Imperial Totem Legion.
The reason why the real Blackfire Guards are so scary is that they actually have the ability to self-destruct. And because of the green vine balls, their number can always remain the same. If you lose one, you can immediately add another one.
If it weren't for the fact that the Green Vine Ball could only control so many Blackfire Guards, and so many self-detonating troops were created, even if it was an aura, it wouldn't dare to confront them head-on.
"Unfortunately, none of these people are conscious." Garen shook his head and sighed. "It seems that I need to recruit some talents who can help me manage the palace."
Concentrated, he began to prepare the attire for going out. Every two days, he would go out to hunt monsters to increase his potential points and see when he could meet the conditions for improving the secret martial arts.
Perhaps the foundation of the nine-headed dragon is too large. After accumulating potential points for so long, it has reached more than 200 points intermittently, but there is still no movement from Mi Wu. But this also made him look forward to it more and more. The more potential points needed, the greater the degree of transformation after upgrading Miwu.
*****************
In a high-rise restaurant in the imperial capital
At the round table of the milky white restaurant, two bearded black beards were sitting at the table, looking sideways at the huge black palace in the distance.
At noon, the sky was overcast and cloudy, and the sky was a bit gloomy. The thick clouds seemed to be pressing down, which made people feel depressed.
The two bearded people sat in the corner, ordering a standard meal, which was unremarkable. There were people coming and going around, guests sitting up and down, no one noticed them at all.
No one noticed that the lips of the two moved slightly, and they were actually talking secretly with each other using secret techniques.
"Is there still no way to contact Eleven?"
"It's hard." Another man who was slightly shorter had a look of embarrassment on his face. "The most troublesome things in the palace are the Silver Palace and the Black Fire Palace. Eleven's palace is next to the Black Fire Palace. It is very difficult to rescue her! Hydra is extremely powerful. If he finds out a little No, not only is the rescue impossible, but even the people who go in don’t want to come out alive.”
"So we must avoid that Hydra. To avoid him, we must avoid the Black Fire Guards. But the Black Fire Guards are everywhere, scattered in the entire corner of the palace." The tall bearded man fell into thought. "Then we must first figure out who enters and exits the palace, so as not to be thoroughly investigated by the Black Fire Guards!"
The other person's eyes lit up immediately.
"Stone Eye, do you have a solution?!"
"Let's look at the specific situation first, maybe we have some ideas. Let's investigate the life rules and behavior habits of Hydra first. If you want to defeat a person, understanding the opponent as much as possible is the biggest foundation."
***************
Roar! !
The red dragon head is fleeting.
In the barren mountain, surrounded by more than a dozen black fire guards, Garen stepped on the rocky hillock, and white gravel was everywhere under his feet.
In the open space not far away, a bull-shaped monster with a crocodile head finally lay down slowly on the ground. It was more than six meters tall, covered in pitch black, and its huge neck protruded outward as if it was bitten by something.
The head was raised high, the blood vessels in the neck were ruptured, it was bright red, and a large amount of blood was gushing out, but just as it came into contact with the air, it disappeared completely as if being swallowed by something.
There was only the faint throat grunt of the giant beast swallowing in the air.
The imprint between Garen's left eyebrows was faintly glowing red, and the red glow gradually faded as the sound of swallowing disappeared.
Boom! !
The giant beast crashed to the ground. The whole body has lost a lot of weight.
Garen took the white handkerchief from Black Fireguard and wiped his hands.
Suddenly, the ground faintly trembled violently.
"Who is it! How dare you kill my crocodile first!!" A huge roar came from a distance.
Garen smiled, this is already the Meteor Mountain Range far away from the capital city. It took him half a day to arrive here in the fastest Thunder Eagle. This place is outside the defense line, where dragons and snakes are mixed, and there are people from all forces, big and small. The monsters are not very strong. Just right for practice.
This is the north side of the Western Agricultural Law defense line. Compared with the south side, the monsters here are much stronger. There are even four types of top monsters in the Meteor Mountain Range. And there is more than one end, so even the royal family did not dare to go too far, and could only shrink the defense line.
And there are stronger areas farther away, four types of monsters, monsters with aura level, and even a terrifying number of lairs. As a result, only top players can enter here.
A crocodile can bring Garen five points of income, which is a good return. By previous standards.
A Type 1 totem or monster can provide about 25% of the potential value, which is not enough.
A type 2 is about two o'clock, and a type three is about five o'clock. The spiritualization soared to around fifteen.
This crocodile beast itself is only a Type 2 elite fighting force, with rough skin and thick flesh, extremely strong strength, and strong resistance to non-physical attacks. It was able to provide an income equivalent to a Type 3 totem, so Garen would never let it go if he saw one.
There are many types of such rough-skinned and thick-skinned monsters, but none of them are as cost-effective as the alligator.
Hearing a loud roar at this time, Garen put down his handkerchief and looked at the sky in front of him.
Soon, a huge black shadow gradually emerged from the air in the gloomy sky.
It was a huge octopus monster, with dozens of tentacles more than one meter thick waving around like long whips. The head of the huge black octopus was seven or eight meters in diameter, and a shriveled old man sat cross-legged on it.
The old man was dressed in gray, with fierce eyes, and the shadow cast by the octopus directly covered Garen and the others.
As the distance approaches, the head-sized suction cups on the octopus tentacles can be clearly seen.
As soon as it got within 50 meters, the black octopus shrank suddenly, and all its tentacles shrank back like lightning, and its whole body quickly changed from black to bright red.
The expression of the old man sitting on top of it suddenly changed slightly. Looking down at Garen and the others, his eyes became more cautious.
"It's actually a master of the same level. I am An Jiade, the third tower master of the Seven Nights Pagoda. I don't know how to call you?"
His tone immediately changed and became much more polite.
"Seven Nights Tower?" Garen frowned. This is the largest entrenched force in the Starfall Mountain Range. It is said that it was formed by a university faction and several associations that originally lived here. It is powerful and uses the powerful seven defensive tower techniques. Formation is known.
The north of the defense line is getting closer to the polar circle, and the temperature is getting lower and lower. It's okay here, but if you go further, beyond the Xingyun Mountain Range, it's not a suitable environment for people to live in. The lowest temperature can even reach tens of degrees below zero, where the snow is covered all year round and the glaciers are continuous. Although it is not as prosperous as the temperate zone, it also hides some unknown hidden forces.
Totem masters always have many ways to transform the natural environment, and no one knows how many powerful people are hidden in the polar circle.
"I've heard for a long time that the Seven Nights Pagoda dominates the north and is the most powerful force in the Starfall Mountain Range. I never thought that I would meet one of the tower masters in just a dozen times here. It's really an honor." Garen smiled, "I It is Garen, the lord of the Black Fire Palace near King Wei of Kuwaitan."
"Kevitan? Is it the mighty nation of Kuwaitan?" The old man asked with a look of doubt.
"good."
The old man's eyes flickered suddenly. The reason why he came here was actually because the crocodile beasts he released were constantly being slaughtered by people, but he couldn't catch up with them every time. This time, he finally caught the murderer with great difficulty. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be from the powerful country of Kuwaitan. Senior officials. Judging by the other party's appearance, it is obvious that he is not a good person. The body of the black octopus under the seat turns red, which means that the opponent has the strength to kill the black octopus at any time. Obviously also a master of the same level as himself.
Looking at this person's appearance, there are so many guards around him, and none of them have a strong aura, but they give off a lifeless and dangerous aura.
If that matter can be helped by the person in front of me
The old man had a plan in mind.
He didn't release the crocodile for anyone to let these little guys who have been bred for many years run around. Instead, it has its own important purpose.
The little guy who got the treasure of Daxueshan is well versed in hide-and-seek spells, and he has an unparalleled talent for spell formations. If he wants to catch that little guy, he is short of manpower, and the treasure of Daxueshan is useless to other outsiders. Maybe you can invite this person to help, and you can exchange benefits.
Garen also had his own plans in mind. Now that the Black Fire Palace is seriously short of manpower, if he can win over a powerful group like the Seven Nights Tower, he can greatly increase his influence and power. No matter what you do, it will be much more convenient to have high-end strength that can be mobilized in your hands.
The Terry Jones family is already notorious in the empire, but in Outland, no one knows it.
It would also be a huge boon to the Terry Jones family if the channel and friendships could be successfully established.
After all, the chaos of World War II is approaching, even if he saves the situation on Avic's side, there will still be no major changes in Ennit, Tanya's side or even Dongzhou. Therefore, he must constantly strengthen his own strength, so that he will not be chased and killed by the strong men of the Heitian Club and the Dihua Club in the ensuing chaos.
