Goddess Wanhua Mirror

Because he believed that Lude was also an undead warlock like himself, Dick swept away the depression of being beaten violently before, and wanted to show his favor to Lude, not only for the sake of learning from a teacher, but also to win him into the brotherhood.

In Dick's view, he and Lude did not know each other, and it was better to be friends than to be enemies.With the strength of the other party, as long as the old man is willing to nod, the person in charge of the brotherhood is not an idiot. At least one high-level cadre position is indispensable, and maybe he can go further and be invited into the "elders group".

As for Lude, a stronger necromancer, joining the Brotherhood, will the position of Dick, who was originally unique, drop?

Dick felt that there would definitely be some influence, but as long as he could succeed in apprenticeship and form a solid mentor-apprentice relationship with Lude, then pulling him into the Brotherhood would definitely be a good move where the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!

As long as any organization grows bigger, it will inevitably start to form cliques and fight openly and secretly.What's more, half-gangsters, half-religious gangsters like the Mafia Brotherhood don't recruit serious people. You can't expect a group of villains to join a fraternity and really be like brothers.

And although Dick is already a high-level cadre in the brotherhood, there is a six-member elders group above the senior cadres, and there is a president who can't see the end of the dragon above the elders group.The status of an elder is equivalent to the archbishop of a general denomination. There are rumors within the brotherhood that as long as they sit on the position of elder, they will receive the gift of the God of Thieves and become an envoy under the command of the gods.

When Dick joined the Brotherhood, he was invited by an elder. That year, in order not to be looked down upon by others, he always wore an artifact mask and lied that he was forty, but he has been pretending until now, a middle-aged 34 Man, he became an old man at 56.

But in this regard, he and Lu De have quite a common language.

In the first few years when he joined the fraternity, the elder who recruited him really took care of Dick a lot and helped him to rise steadily in the fraternity. In less than ten years, he became a senior director second only to the elder.

But it was a pity for Dick that this elder failed in a power struggle and was killed by other elders.As his confidant, although Dick escaped the purge by chance because of his rare ability, and his status did not decline on the surface, he was squeezed out of the inner circle and sent to take charge of some risky and troublesome tasks on weekdays. "Dirty work".

Regarding this embarrassing situation, Dick wanted to change, but helplessly, the elders above him had reached a kind of tacit agreement in private. Everyone only regarded him as a useful tool, but no one would accept him into their own. circle.

Forced to helplessness, Dick finally had no choice but to start to stand on his own, attracting some fringe people who were also depressed and cute newcomers like Mayen who hadn't joined the club for a long time.However, due to his flaws in character, Dick was not an excellent leader, and his power was simply powerless to fight against the elders.

If possible, Dick really hoped that he could go over the elders who didn't want to see him, and talk to the chairman.But this president is even more mysterious than himself. Dick has only seen each other three times in the 16 years since he joined the fraternity, and all of them are from the back. He has never seen what the front face looks like.

Fortunately, hard work paid off, and Dick finally found out that the chairman had been looking for a god-thieving artifact, and he had just obtained information about the whereabouts of this artifact not long ago, in the northern border of the Duran Kingdom.

So Dick secretly came to the north to hunt for treasure, but just happened to sense that his dead slave "disappeared", so he came over to take a look, and then bumped into Lude in Pine Town.

Regarding Lude's question, Dick didn't hide anything, and explained clearly that he was looking for the artifact.

He wasn't afraid to arouse Luther's greed, and even on the contrary, he hoped that Luther would come up with some ideas.Because Dick is not the only one who is currently looking for artifacts in the north of the kingdom.

The tipper who gave him the tip was a very unscrupulous guy who also made a deal with another gang from the fraternity.

The clues given by the intelligence dealers are not detailed, and the northern part of the kingdom is really not small. The two groups of people are looking for their own places. Logically speaking, they should not meet each other, but the leader of the other team did not deal with Dick, deliberately Follow Dick's ass, looking for opportunities to mess with him, making Dick very angry.

If La Loude can end, it will be a way to drive tigers and wolves away!

According to Dick, this artifact was accidentally lost on the battlefield of the final battle by her old man Thief God during the Armageddon of the Gods 300 years ago.

Under normal circumstances, there is a special sensory relationship between the artifact and the god who created it, and its existence can be sensed no matter how far away it is, but the artifact of the God of Thieves should have been sealed by other gods, resulting in The God of Pirates couldn't sense it himself, so he could only mobilize the following believers to search for him with "human sea tactics". This search took a full 300 years!

The funny thing is, the Brotherhood of the Black Hand has been looking for this artifact since its inception. They have been looking for it for almost 200 years, but they have never known what this artifact looks like from the beginning to the end. It's just that the form of that thing must have been modified, it could be anything.

But artifacts are not mundane things after all, they contain divine power. If believers find any unusual treasures, they just need to take out the "Black Order" as a token of the Brotherhood of the Black Hand and touch it to see if there is any reaction. Thief Lord is looking for something.

Hearing Dick say "God Stealing Artifact", Lude secretly glanced at Hume next to him, and the other party returned him with a big white eye.

Obviously!What Dick said did not conform to the real history. In the battle of the gods 300 years ago, Hume withdrew midway, did not participate in the final battle at all, and there was no saying that the artifact was lost.

If she really wanted to say that that battle caused her to lose something, it would probably only be her "face" as a god.

It is not difficult to see from this that the "Fake God of Thieves" has spread the falsified history to his followers, and what she really wants to find may be Hume!

After pondering for a moment, Lude decided to follow suit.

In order to help Hume, he must find an opportunity to contact the Brotherhood of the Black Hand, and Dick the Necromancer is an ideal breakthrough.This person's status in the Brotherhood of the Black Hand is not low, and now he misunderstands that he is also a necromancer, and he deliberately wants to win him over.

As long as Lu De pushes the boat with the current, it is not difficult to get involved.

Thinking of this, Lu De gradually had a plan in mind.

End of this chapter

After asking what he wanted to ask, Lude neither immediately agreed nor rejected Dick's invitation to join the Brotherhood. There is indeed some interest.

Lude then threw back the human skin bag full of black beads to Dick in a seemingly casual gesture, and said lightly.

"For the sake of our colleagues, you can let the old man offend you, but I can't let you go now, so as not to blackmail the old man with his current identity. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood, understand everything! I will do my best to cooperate with you. Or you can hang me in public, and I can do the soul-removal technique. It's not a problem to pretend to be dead."

In order to make a good impression in front of Lu De, Dick patted his chest and said that he would fully cooperate with the performance and would never cause unnecessary doubts on the master's apparent identity.

Lu De nodded, thinking that you would pretend to be dead in the first place, so you must be more careful on the day you are dealt with in the future.

Before leaving the detention center, Lude told several guards that after his meticulous interrogation, it was basically confirmed that Dick was not a killer, but a mage adventurer who had taken prohibited potions, and would attack him only when his mind was abnormal. Detention for seven days in accordance with local security laws is sufficient.

As for Mayne, it shouldn't have much to do with this matter, just put him back in his cell and deal with him as a Baron.

On the way back, Lu De remained silent, planning in his heart.He originally planned to use Mayen to get close to the Brotherhood of the Black Hand, but now that the necromancer Dick appeared, he had a more suitable choice.

According to his experience of being an undercover agent in his previous life, Lude plans to make a round to "help" Dick in order to further gain his trust and lay a solid foundation for breaking into the Brotherhood of the Black Hand.

When talking to Dick before, Lude grasped another key piece of information, that is, at the northern border of the kingdom, there is another group of Black Hand Brotherhood members who are looking for artifacts, and this group does not fight against Dick, and has been following He waited for an opportunity to pick peaches behind him.

If there is a game to be played, this group of people can take advantage of it.

When we returned to the temple, it was late at night before we knew it. Most people in the temple had already fallen asleep, but Lude didn’t dare to sleep. He had to record the information he had just obtained and the thoughts in his mind first, lest he I accidentally forgot it the next day.

So Lu De went back to the bedroom, lit the lamp in front of the desk, and wrote quickly. Then, according to the old habit, he used the wall as a blackboard and listed the names of all relevant people on it, forming a rather complicated network of relationships.

"The actors and settings are all set, and the next step is the plot... who!?"

All of a sudden, Lude felt someone behind him. He was so frightened that he thought there was a more powerful assassin, but when he turned his head, it was Hume who had entered the room without anyone noticing it, and was looking at it carefully. The network of characters painted on the wall by Rudd.

"Are you going to kill them all?"

"You, didn't you go back to sleep?"

"I'm a god, it doesn't matter if I sleep or not, but I reckon that you must not be asleep yet, so I'm here to see you!"

"..."

At this time, Hume had already taken off her mercenary-style tight leather armor, and was wearing a thin shirt and hot pants that were so short that the thighs were exposed, revealing a large piece of caramel-colored skin.Only two of the five buttons on the chest are fastened, showing high loess slopes and deep ravines on the top, and shallow crescent-like pits on the bottom, and a pair of long and healthy legs.

In the middle of the night, a black-skinned elf, Yujie, dressed like this, ran into her room without making a sound, carrying two glasses and a large bottle of wine in her hands. The situation, the scene, and the atmosphere made the two generations Lude, who is a virgin, can't help subconsciously thinking of some exciting "movie plots" in his mind.

"I'm still drinking a lot of wine at this point, isn't it?"

"What are you afraid of, I won't take you for dinner."

He gave Lu De an angry look, and Hume poured himself a glass first. Lu De thought for a while, and then picked up the bottle.

"Hey! I haven't seen this wine before, where did you get it?"

"A souvenir of Oyster Harbor, a bequest from my late friend, Bishop Evan Ruth. Before he was about to leave the port, I sneaked around his boat and found this in his personal suitcase. This is a high elf brewed The wind wine, the top quality that even the king may not be able to drink easily."

After swirling the fragrant wine in the glass, Hume blew lightly on the rim of the glass, and a fresh cool breeze swirled in the bedroom without the window open.Lu De took a sip, and the taste was really extraordinary. It tasted like mint was added, but it was slightly different, as if he had a breath of fresh air in his mouth.

"Very interesting texture."

"Not bad! During the heyday of the elves, this was a sacrificial offering dedicated to the Goddess of Life."

One person and one mind chatted while drinking a small wine. Although Hume talked about relatively light topics, anecdotes and scandals about the relationship between male gods and goddesses, Lude could see that her mood was actually a little depressed. It's more or less the meaning of borrowing wine to drown your sorrows.

Thinking about it in another way, it’s not that Lude can’t understand this sorrow. The former high-ranking goddess lost her divine power due to the seal. After wandering in the mortal world for 300 years, she couldn’t find a way to lift the seal, but unexpectedly learned that someone was pretending to be herself behind her back. , and even want to replace it.

This depression and depression, no matter how optimistic you are naturally, is quite difficult.

Lude thought for a while, and decided to talk about something that could restore her confidence.

"Want to hear about my plans?"

"You want to deal with the Brotherhood of the Black Hand? I advise you to endure it for a few more years. When your power is three times stronger than it is now, and Aina breaks through the third level, then you can think about how to fight against them. It must not be now."

"Don't worry, I'm never confident, but since we are not opponents in a direct confrontation, then we can try to disintegrate the enemy from within."

"Wait a minute! Don't you want to agree to that ugly guy wearing a mask, join the fraternity, and then run to be a ghost? No, no, you are taking it for granted. How can a century-old organization with such a large scale If you get in there three or two times, you can crash."

When Lude said that he wanted to break into the enemy, Hume shook his head again and again, letting Lude dismiss this bold idea as soon as possible, and it would be more reliable to keep his head on development.

Since the fake god of robbers in the Brotherhood has used it for nearly 200 years and has not said that it can really replace her, then it should not be a problem for another dozen or 20 years. Hume is very optimistic about Lude's development speed and prospects. unnecessary risk.

Seeing that Hume had no confidence in his plan, Lude had been earnestly trying to persuade himself to let himself go. Lude drank the wind wine in his glass and said confidently.

"How about we make a bet?"

End of this chapter

Hearing that Lude said that he wanted to bet with himself, Hume was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a meaningful smile.

"Ouch! It turns out that you are greedy for my body!"

"No, why did you think of that?"

"Oh! Isn't it? Or... you're not interested in me?"

As Hume said, he deliberately bent down in front of Lude, symbolizing the fruits of justice and abundance swaying slightly. Through the ray of sky between the steep valleys, one can just glimpse that glamorous light.

Lu De considered himself a gentleman, but swallowing his saliva was completely a subconscious reaction of his body.

"Don't be like this, I'm a decent person..."

"That's not a problem, I'm not serious anyway."

"..."

The atmosphere in the room became more and more scorching under Hume's intentional provocation.Grandpa Lu is a virgin in his second life. Although his theoretical experience is extremely rich, and his XP is enough to make any obscene demon in another world feel ashamed, the shortcoming of zero actual combat experience still exists objectively.

He would really like to give a wicked smile of the domineering president Fan Er, and then use a higher-level method to tease back, so that the arrogant goddess in front of him will blush and show her little daughter's attitude, but no matter how many pictures flashed in his mind, It's useless if the body can't move with it.

Lu De, who is called "Blood Hands and Broken Soul" by people in the world, is ashamed at the moment like a shivering Brother Shuang who is trapped at home by travelers!

Fortunately, Hume let him go at this moment. After admiring his embarrassment just now, Hume suddenly laughed, sweeping away the ambiguous atmosphere he had intentionally created just now.

"Okay! I won't tease you anymore, I'll scare you."

"Oh no, I..."

"Okay, okay! I've just brightened up the atmosphere, let's get down to business. You don't really want to leave the mess here in Pine Town and run to the fraternity as an undercover agent, do you?"

"How is it possible! I said that I want to disintegrate the enemy from the inside, but I don't really want to get inside them. The first step is to build a line. I originally wanted to use that Mayne, but now there is a better choice, the Undead Warlock .First do a game to gain his trust, let him think that I am willing to bring my own power to join the brotherhood, and then try to attract big targets. Do you understand fishing?"

When it comes to "fishing law enforcement", Lu De is also a veteran in this area. His first meritorious service was to successfully set up a scheme to trap a pyramid scheme.

It was Lude's first time to go undercover. After successfully taking down a den of an MLM organization, he found out that there was a higher-level organizer in this den, so he had an idea and faked the illusion that the den was still operating. Lure upper-level organizers to come and inspect.

In order to confuse the fake with the real one, Lu De called several clerical colleagues, obtained more than 200 WeChat IDs, and set up an MLM group. Everyone manipulated more than [-] vests, creating a kind of "big business" in the group. The prosperous scene finally confused the organizers. At Lude's kind invitation, they came to participate in their offline conference in City D.

Lu De still has a vivid memory of the scene at that time. Six senior executives of the MLM organization who did not know the truth were led into the well-arranged conference hall by Lu De. More than 200 people got up one by one, and gave the most sincere and warm applause to the criminals who had driven from thousands of miles to throw themselves into the net.

The old bureau chief who came to play a cameo even acted on a whim, and instead of following the script, he forced himself to add scenes, and ran up to hold the hand of No. [-] target, and said with a tearful expression.

"I'm looking forward to you guys!"

The MLM leader was still dazed until he was stuffed into a police car.

Lude has had similar experience more than once, the key is how to use the existing conditions to lay out a seamless game.

"At present, what is certain is that Dick, the necromancer, should have a tail behind his ass. He said that he lost him in Unos Town, but Unos Town is only three days away from Pine Tree Town. Once the stalker If you lose your target, there is a high probability that you will move towards the nearest target.

Like Dick, the leader of the stalkers is also a high-level cadre with a "code name" called "The Laughing Man".But unlike Dick, who is purely grassroots, the Laughing Man is the son of an elder, a very annoying second generation.

Dick and he didn't like each other, and the two didn't get along very well, and this was precisely the point of contradiction that Rudd could use.

"There are no conflicts among the enemies. We help them create conflicts, and we will deepen the existing conflicts for them. In short, there is only one goal, and that is to let the brotherhood fall into internal fighting, and our own people will fight against our own people!"

After explaining his general idea, Hume looked at Lude again, with another look in his eyes, as if to say, "So you are this kind of person."

"...If you do this, once the matter is exposed, it will be a full-scale war."

"Let that fake know that you are here with me, and it is also an all-out war. He wants to replace you, but I prefer a humane Thief God, rather than a cult leader who likes to organize dark forces."

After Lude finished speaking, he smiled at Hume and clinked glasses.

Hume drank the wind wine in the glass, then got up and jumped off the bed.

"Since you have your own ideas, then I won't say anything more. Just distribute what you need my cooperation with. In addition... the bet between us is settled like this."

"Wait a minute! What..."

Before Lude finished speaking, Hume slipped out like a gust of wind, leaving Lude with a dazed expression, but vaguely felt that it was a good thing.

Early the next morning, Lu De got up early, and it seemed that everything had returned to the tranquility of the past, but secretly, some preparations had already begun quietly.

Lude took some time to visit Taoyuan Township where the Forestia people lived, and learned that Nidhogg and Tawawa, the dragon couple, hadn't come back yet, but the left-behind children they threw into Lude's care had already gotten used to it. life here.
