Lord Luke waved his hand, and an energy barrier appeared in the room, enveloping the five lords.
His actions did not cause any abnormal reactions from the others, but they all stopped talking.
"Has that news been confirmed?" Lord Luke looked at Lord Gould and asked.
"It's still being confirmed, but it should be true. The followers of evil gods have been too active recently. There must be a reason for this abnormal behavior!" Lord Gould replied softly.
Even though the surrounding shield was blessed by Lord Luke, Lord Gould still spoke very softly.
Because what they talked about would be earth-shattering news if it spread out.
"The five of us have known each other since we were young, and we have been together for almost a lifetime. We are very familiar with each other. It can be said that you are the people I trust the most, but this time we still have to explain clearly, otherwise someone will do something wrong, and you will be killed." It will be a big trouble!" Lord Emil said in a deep voice.
"Isn't it too early for you to say this now? You are thinking about sharing the spoils before the discussion has started!" Lord Luke turned his head and said to Lord Emil.
"It's not too early, only after we have agreed in advance, we will have no scruples when we cooperate!" Lord Emir shook his head and said.
"I'll give you the golden oath stone. Prepare the essence and blood. Just as Luke said, you must be of the same mind!" Lord Gould thought for a while and decided.
The golden oath stone is the most advanced among the oath stones. When ordinary oath stones are used, the witnesses of the oath are gods, but the witnesses of the golden oath stone are the power of the rules of the great world of gods, that is, world consciousness.
The value of a golden oath stone is so high that Lord Gould would feel distressed even if he took it out, but he took it out anyway. One can imagine how important what he was planning was.
"agree!"
"agree!"
"agree!"
"agree!"
The other four lords did not hesitate, and all agreed to Lord Gould's proposal.
A golden oath stone appeared on the table with a white light, followed by a drop of blood. There seemed to be a flash of light in this drop of blood, showing the energy contained in the blood.
This drop of blood did not enter the golden oath stone, but was suspended above the golden oath stone.
Lord Gould's intentions were obvious. First, it was no problem for the other four to test the drop of blood, and second, to wait for the rest of the lords to swear together.
With the beginning of Lord Gould, the other four lords also sent their blood essence from afar. Among the several white lights, five drops of blood were suspended above the golden oath stone.
"I swear by the world consciousness, in the process of killing the God of the Forest, we will cooperate sincerely, advance and retreat together, and the spoils will be distributed according to the agreement, swear!" The five lords all swear solemnly.
Swearing an oath to the world consciousness cannot be too complicated, but the effect is very powerful, and it is not something that a fifth-level Templar would dare to violate.
After the five lords finished taking the oath, they looked at each other and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
They used the engagement ceremony between Charlie and Lady Denise to gather together. Although it was a bit exaggerated to bring together five lords at this engagement reception, it was also true. After all, both parties to the engagement were the children of the lord.
What the five lords wanted to do was exactly what the oath said, they wanted to slaughter the gods.
At any time, slaughtering a god is something that cannot be stated clearly. Even if they are planning to slaughter an evil god, what they have done is against the consciousness of the god. Once any temple finds out, it will be a big trouble.
The killing of evil gods has always been organized by the temple. This is not only because it requires the participation of many strong men, but also because the spoils of the slaughter include items that the gods do not want the lords to get.
The god of the woods, the weak among the ancient gods, was forced to fall into a deep sleep in the conflict between the ancient gods before he even participated in the battle of gods.
It is precisely because he did not participate in the battle of the gods that the damage suffered by the God of the Wood Forest is easier to recover. After sleeping for countless years, the God of the Wood Forest has shown signs of awakening, and some weak miracles are appearing.
This matter was discovered by the Maine family, and the news was blocked immediately. The dead men of the family dispatched to start searching. Although they did not find the exact location, they were more than 80% sure of finding it. It was only a matter of time before they were found.
Lord Gould didn't have the idea of slaughtering the god alone, he didn't want to court death yet, but he was unwilling to let him pass the news to the temple.
Although no matter which god received the news, it would give Lord Gould great benefits, but such benefits are simply incomparable to the benefits of killing the gods.
"We need sky knights, at least twenty!" Lord Luke said softly.
"We still need to make a batch of alchemy items that prevent mind control, and we can't let them be controlled!" Lord Emir continued.
"You can't use the family sky knight, let's do it externally!" Lord Ferdinand said in a deep voice.
Lord Ferdinand knew very well that these twenty sky knights were going to die, just to consume the power of the wood god so that they could fight more easily.
"Don't make too much noise. We will secretly recruit people from all over the world, and we promise to make a lot of money. If any of them can survive, we will treat them kindly!" Lord Merlin said.
They all understand that the sky knights face the ancient gods, even if the ancient gods are only one in ten million in their heyday, they are just some consumables, and it is almost impossible for them to survive.
"Everyone should consider the arrangement of the family!" Lord Gould said in a deep voice.
This topic was even more serious, and suddenly there was no sound in the room.
To fight the ancient gods, it is impossible to use energy clones. The energy clones in the room are still effective against beings weaker than them, but they are useless against the fifth-level powerhouses of the same level.
According to the records, if the main body is not used, the ancient god can collapse the energy avatar with just one look.
Therefore, Tu Shen must participate in the battle on his own body, which brings danger.
"Haha, I feel like I've lost my courage when I use my energy avatar every day. This time I'll fight hard, or my body will get rusty!" Lord Ferdinand broke the silence with a big laugh.
In order to become the fifth-level Templar Knights, the five of them went to the most dangerous battle stars to experience and fight against the followers of evil gods. During the process of growing up, they often hovered on the edge of life and death. However, after reaching the fifth-level Templar Knights, the family pressure was under pressure. body, so that they have to be careful, and can no longer take risks like before.
"The old lion is right, don't think too much, let's fight!" Lord Luke also said with a smile.
"We started to arrange that each family will produce four sky knights, and the alchemy materials will be shared equally. After the God Slaying is successful, I will get two shares, and you will each get one share!" Lord Gould ignored their enthusiasm, but confessed.
Regarding this arrangement, the other four lords had no objection, which was agreed long ago.
The meaning of coming here this time is to meet and swear an oath to reassure the hearts of the five lords.
Lord Gould discovered the information of the God of the Woodlands, and would provide the location of the God of the Woodlands later. He initiated the whole matter again, so he would have an extra share, and the other Lords agreed on this point.
"agree!"
"agree!"
"agree!"
"agree!"
Everything went smoothly, making smiles appear on the faces of the five lords.
They are all aspiring and ambitious, and they are not reconciled to being Templars until the end of their lives.
The opportunity in front of them may be the only chance in their life, a weak and weak ancient god, a blocked message, and five familiar Templars.
They believe that they will create history, and use the body of the God of the Woods to break through the fifth level and achieve the legendary sixth level.
For this reason, the five lords are willing to fight once, even if they pay everything.
The five lords were also worried that what they were talking about would be known by the temple, so they used the power of many bloodlines on the first floor to influence the investigation of the gods.
The power of the blood can affect the investigation of the gods to a certain extent. This is known from the books seized by the evil god.
Talking about the topic of slaughtering gods is likely to trigger the induction of the gods. This does not refer to the god of the woods, but the gods who rule the world today.
The five lords need to meet to confirm the plan to slaughter the gods. This is a necessary process, otherwise their distrust between each other will make the matter of slaughtering the gods aborted.
To make each other trust, one must swear, and the oath must mention Tushen, which is an inevitable result.
After the five lords finished all this, they were actually waiting to see if a temple would come to them.
In their identities, if the matter is revealed before the slaughter of the gods, at most they will be punished, and the family or themselves will suffer some losses, which will definitely not be fatal.
As long as no temple comes to the door for a period of time, it means that using the power of blood to influence the perception of the gods has indeed succeeded, and they can really start to arrange the plan to slaughter the gods.
All the nobles on the first floor didn't know what was discussed on the second floor. Since there were five lords on the second floor, the nobles on the first floor paid special attention to what they said.
"Everyone, I'm Baron Blackmer, and welcome everyone on behalf of the Maine family!" Baron Blackmer walked to the center of the rotunda, tapped his wine glass lightly, and said with a smile when everyone quieted down.
The guests responded to Baron Blackmer with applause, and the atmosphere of the reception finally rose.
"Next, we invite the protagonists of this reception, Knight Charlie and Lady Denise!" Baron Blackmer announced loudly.
The band on the side played the movement of love, and two beams of soft light shone on Charlie and Lady Denise.
Lady Denise is more beautiful than David imagined, stronger than Charlie in imposing manner, and not much different from Charlie in stature.
Thinking of Charlie's character, and meeting a fiancée like Countess Denise, it's no wonder that he wanted to escape marriage before. This is the rhythm of being controlled to death.
David was thinking about this, and the ceremony over there was also going on step by step.
Gifts were exchanged, towers of champagne were poured, and finally Charlie and Dame Denise danced to the music, joined by many guests.
David didn't participate, he didn't bring a dance partner, and he didn't have a familiar woman. He just walked to the edge of the hall with red wine, watching Charlie and Lady Denise rubbing against each other from time to time while dancing.
However, in David's view, there is definitely a relationship between Charlie and Lady Denise, and that kind of small friction is more like a slapstick game between lovers.
David turned his head and accidentally saw Gilbert Sky Knight chatting with a viscount. From the coat of arms of the viscount, it can be seen that this is a baron of the Berger family.
Seeing Gilbert Sky Knight's excited expression, it is estimated that the matter of joining the Berger family is very sure.
David is also happy for Gilbert Sky Knight. Anyway, his favor this time has successfully helped Gilbert Sky Knight.
"Hello, can I invite you to dance?" Just as David was in a trance, a voice rang in his ear.
David was taken aback for a moment, but reacted immediately.
He glanced at the woman in front of him. This is a baroness, as can be seen from the baron's badge she wears.
Not all nobles are eligible to wear the family crest. For example, if a woman is going to marry in the future, if her relatives in the family are capable, they will find a way for the woman to obtain the title of Lord, so that the woman's choice of marriage will be better. .
The title of this lord is not so easy to obtain. The family has to contribute their efforts to obtain merit for it, and then exchange the merit for the title.
The cost of both manpower and material resources is huge, and it also consumes other people's opportunities to obtain titles.
You must know that there are only so many opportunities to achieve meritorious service every year, but there are too many people who want to obtain titles, and there is simply not enough distribution.
So the baroness standing in front of her can know that her background is not simple just by looking at the lord badge she wears. Of course, no one here is simple.
"Of course!" David was not rude. If the Countess offered to dance, it would be extremely rude to the Countess and himself if he refused.
Being rude on this occasion, David probably will soon become a joke in the circle. Even if he doesn't care about it, he doesn't want to damage his reputation.
"My name is Alma, your dance is very good!" Countess Alma complimented while dancing.
Countess Alma was very curious about David. It was a very strange thing for an ordinary baron to appear at this kind of reception. In addition, the second son of the Maine family made things difficult and then left without reason. The Maine family still has a special steward The reception, and a series of other things made David full of mysteries.
"My name is Arthur, and you dance very well!" David chatted awkwardly with Countess Alma.
At this moment, Charlie took the time to gesture to David to talk for a while, which caused Dame Denise to notice David.
"Your knight is really dedicated!" Countess Alma didn't notice this, she was attracted by Knight Mark.
Knight Mark stood outside the dance floor, his eyes were fixed on David's figure, and his eyes did not move to other places, which was easy to attract attention.
