The bell rang slowly. Located in the west of Lore Town, there was a big bell tower.
Whenever it is night, danger will come, and some staff, they work in the workshop, it is difficult to observe the skylight outside, and sometimes they do not know when it is dark.
At certain times the bells of the Great Clock Tower are needed to warn of the approaching night.
On the street, there are only dim street lights shining a little light, in the corners, under the eaves, it seems that monsters may appear from any place.
Brian was walking on the street, still dressed as a night watchman, and tonight was the day of the meeting of the unclean convent.
Soon a person who was also dressed as a night watchman came over, but he didn't wear an owl mask, and the exposed face was very similar to him. He called himself a servant, and he was a person who served him in the Secret Order, and he would obey all his orders.
He took Brian's skull and mask and continued to patrol along his trajectory, and Brian also learned from him where the Priory meeting place was.
"It's really bold to actually set it up on the big clock tower." Brian looked a little surprised. The highest place in the entire Lore town is naturally the cathedral of the Sun Shadow Church, followed by the big clock tower.
This is an eye-catching spot. It can even be said that standing on the church hill can see the big clock tower directly, which means that they are always under the observation of the church.
Drilling into the sewer and taking advantage of the complex terrain is indeed safe, but the mouse-like organization can hardly give people a sense of security. It is located on the surface of the big clock tower on an equal footing with the cathedral, but it makes them feel at ease.
But this is the thinking of talented people. Those who are afraid of the Sun Shadow Church to the bottom of their bones will only think about burrowing into the ground, or even moving out of the Sun Shadow Church's sphere of influence. Only by avoiding can they no longer be afraid.
The huge gears in the clock tower rotated, and the sound of the fixed rotation made people feel a sense of urgency.
Brian followed the stairs to the top of the big clock tower, surrounded by huge dials. In fact, there was an outer layer on it. There was a big clock on it, which was driven by machinery and would ring at a fixed time. Of course, it could also be struck manually. ring.
Stepping on the wooden planks, a long conference table has been set up in the center, and Master Negri is already sitting at the first stage, and there are several people beside him.
Not long after, footsteps came from behind again, and a young man walked in. Judging by his attire, he should also be a night watchman.
"At present, all the personnel of the Unclean Priory are here." Negri glanced at several people and said slowly: "At present, there are seven people including me. Everyone here has talents in various fields."
"Everyone also has their own needs, so the secret society follows the rules of equivalent exchange. I will formulate a relatively stable contribution value system. Using the contribution value, I can use the power of the secret society to meet my own needs. "
"The long-term effective contribution value task is to develop the secret society and recruit talented people into the secret society, and the other is my task to collect all extraordinary knowledge." Negri said: "Every official member They will be equipped with waiters, you have already seen it."
"There is a ring in front of you," Negri said.
Brian picked up the ring in front of him, but everyone's ring looks different.
"These rings will interact with each other. As long as there is a secret order ring around, it will give a reminder. This is the certificate of a full member of the secret order, and it can also record the contribution value and transaction contribution value."
When Brian put on the ring, he felt something sharp piercing his skin inside the ring, and then a message was transmitted from the ring.
"The ring number is 006. There are 7 fellow members of the Secret Order around you. Your current contribution value is 1."
"Contribution value record, the chapter of breaking the oath -5, the waiter's substitute -1, submit the list of seven potential members +7, and the balance is 1 contribution value."
"The contribution value can be traded when the rings are docked together. You can try it. The internal transactions of members are protected by the secret society. If there is false or sabotage of the transaction, the secret society will hold them accountable." Negri saw that everyone After putting on the ring, he said: "At the same time, there is also a list here. Anyone who needs it can find me. Since the Secret Order was founded, the prices of some things are still very cheap."
"If you can't walk away, the waiter can come over with the ring to deliver the message."
"If you lose the ring, please report the loss as soon as possible. If you are unfortunately discovered by the Sun Shadow Church or other forces and cause losses to the Secret Order, then your qualification as a member of the Secret Order will be cancelled."
Negri then announced some regulations, and then stopped talking, leaving it to other members to digest and communicate.
Brian took a list, which clearly recorded some information related to the contribution value, such as the exchange list, which contained various things, such as the blood of black crows (germs), which can replace part of a person's body, and Through this, various abilities are developed.
There is also plastic surgery, which can permanently change your appearance. As long as it is done properly, it can replace the identities of some normal people in Lore Town.
"Then everyone, I have a need here." A veiled woman in the Secret Retreat said, "I need one or a few men to help me complete a small task and kill a person who stands in the way."
"I'm willing to give 20 contribution points." The lady said, her name is Catherine Worden, a occult fanatic, and with the help of her family's business resources, she secretly collected a lot of occult knowledge.
The peculiarity was discovered by Negri, who invited him to join the Secret Society, and gained a lot of contribution value through the knowledge of mysticism.
Brian then communicated with Catherine and took over Catherine's task. Similar to Brian, although Catherine has a certain influence in the family, she has many direct heirs after all, and someone blocked her way.
Brian is familiar with the matter of murder. Although he failed and became a death row inmate himself, it was just an accident. The two hit it off. Brian needs contribution points, while Catherine needs the "accidental" death of someone who stands in the way.
The framework of the Secret Society was thus established. With the contribution value system, members exchanged internally, and people with talents in various fields gathered together, and the explosive power should not be underestimated.
Therefore, the influence of the secret order is also expanding rapidly. Of course, most of the main members are from the night watchmen. The secret order is like a parasite, expanding with the help of the night watchman.
With the help of the secret society, the members of the secret society quickly became stronger, and at the same time, their respective influences were also rapidly expanding, which further improved the strength of the secret society.
