I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 206

The strong aura of the Crown is like a dark veil, shrouding the entire hall. The trembling servants all fell into a coma, while the guards looked cautiously at the sudden appearance of the girl.

She is a person from the Babel Tower!

How did they appear? Where did they come in from?

No one knows.

Mu Ling stood calmly in the room, facing the gaze and vigilance of everyone, without any fear or panic in her mind.

Not only because of the emotionally indifferent  caused by the aftermath of the ceremony, but also because of...

At this moment, she already has much stronger power than before!

If Mu Ling wants to leave, no one present can stop her, even if they try together.

It could be said that ordinary transcendent beings would not be her match in a fight, as only those at the level of Potential Crown could potentially pose a challenge to her.

The valiant Count Gallard, dressed in a white suit, continued from his place of honor, saying, "Join us in the Babel Tower, not only for the vague and elusive purpose of saving the world, but also for the sake of making your families stronger. This has always been the mission pursued by us nobles."

"Loyalty to the Air Alliance, or loyalty to the king was never your first priority, what you all care about the most is your own families’ benefits."

He was absolutely sure that for these old and decadent nobles, grand and noble causes like "saving the world" had no meaning at all. What mattered most to them was interest, interest, and more interest!

However, representatives from all major families didn't speak up, maintaining a complete silence and not uttering a single word.

Joining the Babel Tower?

But the Babel Tower is a proven illegal organization, as confirmed by the Air Alliance!

If you really join the Babel Tower, then in the larger context, it's actually a betrayal to the "king" and to the "Air Alliance"!

Although everyone was tempted, yet they dared not step into the "minefield" easily.

Without a doubt, those who betray the Air Alliance will face a death penalty. Moreover, what is even more severe than the death penalty is that their entire family will be implicated. All of their loved ones will be stripped of their noble status, and they may even be exiled to the wilderness to become the lowest of sinners.

Only the crime of regicide is more severe than betraying the Air Alliance.

Therefore, representatives from all the major families fell silent.

Anyone who speaks up to agree to join here, or even just haggle a little, is likely to be caught in a trap.

If the case is taken to the Hundred Kings Assembly, the entire family might be ruined.

Count Gallard is not at all surprised by the current situation, and it can be said that he expected it.

He calmly said, "I know that for all of you, joining the Babel Tower is definitely a difficult decision."

"Since none of you are speaking, I will be the one to speak. I will say a little about what you want to ask about, and the things you like to hear about."

Count Gallard looked towards Miss Nightsaber who was standing nearby.

"You all know this hunter. She is a member of the Babel Tower, and you all understand the speed at which she is becoming stronger."

"The power of strength is easily available, and the only requirement is that you hope to remove the hostility and wanted status towards the Babel Tower, so that you can help in saving the world. For example, helping with monitoring intelligence of cultists in Tatsumi City."

He suddenly burst into a cold laughter.

"Hmph, I don't think anyone is completely unmoved."

"Perhaps, some of you may have doubts, wondering if you can truly receive such high-quality treatment after taking the risk and joining the Babel Tower with your family."

Count Gallard has left his seat, looking proud as he said, "Since that is the case, I will show you...something that I obtained from the Babel Tower."

He extended his right arm, while the fingers of his left hand quickly cut through a wound on it.

Fresh blood flowed out.

Everyone quickly noticed that the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

This is the effect of the Blood of Darkness.

The various things that were produced by Babel Tower through its research facilities, such as the 'Bloodline of Shadow' and the 'Dragon Slaying Technique', were basically able to be mass-produced, and Bai Yan could also impart these technologies to Non-core Operators.

However, Count Gallard's attribute has not yet reached the requirement for cultivation.

After Count Gallard demonstrated the effectiveness of the Blood of Darkness, everyone remained silent.

--

After the participants of this banquet dispersed, only Count Gallard and Mu Ling were left at the scene.

"They don't seem to be very interested," Mu Ling spoke up.

Count Gallard still had the appearance of his youth, and as he looked at the girl with white hair in front of him, he knew that she was different from him. In actuality, she was a higher-ranked "Core Operator".

Unfortunately, there are some things that can only be admired from afar.

He then looked at his hands with no visible wrinkles and smiled.

Even so, I still obtained unprecedented opportunities and gained unimaginable youthfulness.

"No, you are very mistaken, Miss Nightsaber."

Count Gallard sneered and said with great certainty, "Actually, everyone was very moved, which is why no one stood up to refute me... You see, what I said was quite a subversive thing."

"It's just that the current situation is too formal, and they don't want to take a stand. These cowards don't want to openly join an illegal organization and give other families a handle to grab."

He chuckled, saying, "Although it is a cowardly thought, I can completely understand it."

Mu Ling said calmly, "Unfortunately, I don't understand these things, so I can only stand here and wait."

"No, your role is also very important."

Count Gallard shook his head and said, "Crown level transcendent beings are such an outstanding existence that cannot be ignored, and most importantly, your strength was still very weak just over two months ago."

"Just by standing here, you can play a role of deterrence and example."

At this point, he suddenly asked, "Miss Nightsaber, I have never seen the Savior with my own eyes, but as a core member, you should have seen... What kind of existence is that person?"

After thinking for a while, Mu Ling honestly replied, "To me, He, um, or rather, he... is like the last ray of light in my dark life."

"I am willing to be the sharp blade in His hand, cutting through all the darkness. Even if it means sacrificing myself, it is worthwhile. The Savior is a great existence that will save all worlds. To fight and even sacrifice for Him is my honor."

This response stunned Count Gallard, who then burst into laughter.

"I see, so you're the type who would carry out a suicide order, huh? Heh, you should be the most ideal subordinate for the 'Savior'."

"As a knight, I also have my dignity."

In a low voice, Count Gallard said, "If the 'Savior' were to one day betray the path of saving the world, then I too would stand against him."

"There won't be such a day." Mu Ling said firmly and confidently.

Then, after thinking for a while, she asked, "After today, will any of those families really volunteer to surrender?"

Count Gallard nodded, and replied in a serious tone, "After we transmit the information from 'Cybertyrant', many families will surrender soon. In fact, our chances of winning are great."

Great chances of winning? Mu Ling was slightly surprised and asked, "What is the information that she is going to transmit?"

Count Gallard said, "She will explain that the resources of the Babel Tower are not unlimited. Therefore... the early bird catches the worm, and those families who surrender first will receive better rewards."

The early bird catches the worm?

Suddenly, Mu Ling understood everything clearly.

If what the 'Old Knight' said is right, representatives from each of the four families are actually interested, but they kept silent because it would be unwise to openly join an illegal organization.

After they return, they may convene a meeting or think deeply [Before deciding], but after they all received the hint of 'Cybertyrant' in unison...they will be trapped in a scenario similar to the so-called Prisoner's Dilemma.

Families that join the Babel Tower first will receive better quality resources, while those who join later will only be neglected.

Moreover, no family can guarantee that other families will not secretly join the Babel Tower. Nor can they inquire about the true intentions of other families.

If a family secretly contacts the Babel Tower beforehand, the other major families would have no way of knowing.

As long as [They] join in secret, it is unlikely that [The action] will be immediately reported to the Air Alliance, meaning that there is not that much risk after all.

Therefore, there will definitely be families who are eager to join the Babel Tower!
