   Chapter 365 The Crown Wearer and Staff Bearer (12)

   East Coast of America, Nedson District.

  More than three hundred years ago, in order to escape the war, the Nedson family in England crossed the ocean and came to this new continent, which was regarded as a barren land by Europeans, and landed in this rich and beautiful bay area.

  The members of the Nedson family took root on the spot. They reclaimed the land, cut down the forest, built their own homes, and owned a large town.

  Many Europeans who came to the New World were attracted by the beauty, wealth and stability of Nedson Town, and chose to settle here, including some bankrupt nobles and businessmen.

   Today, Nedson District is already one of the wealthiest areas in America, with many castles and manors, and it is also the base camp of conservative forces in America.

   Few people know that Nedson District is also the birthplace of the Merriga Extraordinary Federation—Steel Wings. An Alpha-level extraordinary powerhouse, Mond Nedson, one of the Seven Heroes, came out of it!

  Mond Nedson is a member of the Nedson family. Although he has long since left the Nedson area and sits in the steel fortress in the wild world, the influence of this Alpha in the American world is unparalleled.

  The Nedson area is also regarded as a sacred place by the extraordinary in America!

  It was already late at night, and the lights were still on in the study of a small manor house near the bay.

In front of the desk, a gray-haired old gentleman put down the quill in his hand. He took off his gold-rimmed glasses and wiped the glass lenses with a buckskin towel. After putting them back on, he took out an antique pocket watch from his coat pocket. .

   Checking the time, the old gentleman reached out and pressed the button embedded under the desk, and the bookshelf on the right side that was close to the wall immediately moved away automatically, revealing a portal.

  He opened the drawer of the desk, took out a dark golden mask and put it on his face, then picked up the purple robe hanging on the hanger and put it on his body, and then came to the basement through the secret door.

The dense underground area is not large, and there is nothing in it except a long table covered with dark red velvet and a chair. The surrounding walls are empty, and there are only four rather old-fashioned wall lamps as decorations. illumination.

  The secret door closed silently, and the masked old gentleman sat down on the armchair.

  Only a moment later, figures appeared on both sides of the long table at the same time. They were men in black robes wearing gold masks and holding black scepters in their hands. There were as many as sixteen people on the left and right!

   All look exactly the same, but their masks show different beast head shapes, lion, tiger, bear, leopard, wolf, python and so on.

   And at the same time as these men in black robes appeared, the walls around the basement changed instantly, making people feel like they were in a solemn temple, and the atmosphere suddenly changed!

  If Zuo Yi was here at this time, he would definitely not be unfamiliar with the scene in front of him.

  Because Zuo Yi had seen some of Du Changan's memories, it was the scene where the leader of the Council of True Knowledge was being baptized!

  Who would have thought that the supreme director of the Council of True Knowledge would be hiding in a seemingly ordinary small manor in Nedson District?

"grown ups!"

  Thirty-two men in black robes bowed to the old gentleman on the throne.

  The old gentleman nodded: "Sit down."

  His voice is very strange, it sounds like some kind of synthetic electronic sound, with a hint of husky magnetism.

   "Thank you, sir."

  The man in black sat down at the same time.

  They do not really exist, but appear as holographic projections, and the seats automatically appear when they sit down.

  The old gentleman looked at the lion-masked black robe sitting first on his left, and asked, "How is our plan going?"

  The lion-masked black robe lowered its head and replied: "Sorry, my lord, our plan has encountered setbacks."

  The old gentleman's blue eyes were full of coldness: "I summoned you here not to hear an apology!"

  The lion-masked black robe trembled all over, and said, "Please punish me, my lord."

  Although he is a staff holder and possesses powerful extraordinary abilities, in front of the opponent, he is no different from a little rabbit seeing a lion, trembling and fearful.

   "Punishment is only a means, not an end."

  The old gentleman said coldly: "Let's talk about what went wrong with our plan first."

  The ongoing plan of the Truth Council is called "Descent of Fear", which uses the method of creating a large number of terrorist murders to spread panic all over the world to summon the advent of the Dread Demon King.

  The Dread Demon King is called the World Destroyer Demon God by the Council of True Knowledge. When it descends on Blue Star, it must be the day of the destruction of the world!

   For this plan, the old gentleman who is the supreme chairman of the Zhenzhi Council attaches great importance to it and personally arranges the deployment.

   However, the implementation of the "Fear Falling" plan was not very smooth.

  The biggest setback came from Daxia. The plan had just started, and the Shanghai stronghold of the Zhenzhi Council was taken over in one go.

Although the system of the Truth Council is extremely strict, except for the supreme director who wears the crown, none of the elder staff holders know each other's true identities. The wearers, stalkers, and dagger holders all act independently. means of communication.

  However, no matter how perfect the system is, there are loopholes, and no matter how powerful the organization is, there are also weaknesses. In today's era, it is impossible for the Truth Council to maintain the extreme mystery and secrets of the past.

  And people are selfish and ambitious. For example, the arrest of the stalker Shen Yuanpeng exposed Du Changan, and Du Changan has a lot of secrets.

Although the rod holders, ring wearers, stalkers, and dagger holders all have the means to kill themselves, under normal circumstances, Shen Yuanpeng, Du Changan and others should kill themselves when they are caught, but there are a few people who can kill themselves at a critical moment. Die generously at all times?

   Unless it is a dead man who has completely annihilated humanity!

  Pull out the radish and bring out the mud. Du Changan's secret was discovered by the Supervision Bureau, which caused an unprecedented blow to the Zhenzhi Council's power in Daxia.

  The exposure of the "Descent of Fear" plan has raised the vigilance of other countries and extraordinary forces and locked the target. The Council of Truth is not strong enough to single out the world. It is inevitable that the plan in progress will suffer a serious setback.

   What's more troublesome is that the Tarot Society has also participated in the attack on the Council of True Knowledge. During this period of time, the stick holders of the Council of True Knowledge have been devastated.

  However, they were afraid of the cruelty of the crown wearer, so they didn't report the situation immediately. They were lucky enough to think that the situation would turn around, but they were summoned by the old gentleman who noticed that something was wrong.

  Understanding the cause and effect of the matter, the supreme director of the Council of Truth looked at the stick holders, his eyes seemed like enraged poisonous snakes!
