All-Professional Master of Darkness

Chapter 98 A New Gross

Lu Gaoyin Palace.

This is the center of power of Lu Gaoyin. After thousands of years of development, this place has become a gathering place for Lu Gaoyin's powerful people. The entire Lu Gaoyin powerful family surrounded the palace, like stars over the moon.

A mansion on the right side of the palace is the seat of Lu Gaoyin's second family. The mansion occupies an extremely large area, one-third the size of the palace. There are many tall towers inside. Each high tower has a very high-level professional sitting in charge. These professionals are the master group of the prominent second family.

In the middle of the many towers, like stars over the moon, stands a tower that is a little taller than the other towers. Gross stood at the top window overlooking the inner city of Nuoda, his eyes were a little distracted.

Three days have passed since he was rescued from the sewers by Graz. The traces of the demon's power erosion had quietly faded away, leaving a faint trace on his handsome, fair face. However, it did not affect his handsomeness, and instead made him look more mysterious.

"My brother, what are you thinking about?" Suddenly a slightly tired voice floated from the door, interrupting his thoughts.

"Your Majesty Jehain." Gros's eyes flashed with panic, and he quickly turned around and saluted.

"There is no need to be so polite between you and me." Jie Hain walked to the comfortable sheepskin sofa and sat down, relaxing his body and moving his hands and feet tiredly.

Gross looked at the supreme ruler of Lu Gaoyin with complicated eyes. This supreme ruler was only twenty-seven or eighty years old, handsome in appearance, and was known as the most handsome king in Lu Gaoyin's history. It's just that the once neatly trimmed beard has a few small flaws. The sharp eyes that used to be as sharp as an eagle were obviously a little more tired. Obviously, the huge pressure during this period made Lu Gaoyin, the most ambitious ruler in history, unable to hold on.

"Tell me what exactly you encountered in the sewer?" Jehain closed his eyes and relaxed completely as if facing his family. Lu Gaoyin was a big man, and only here could he truly relax. Because Gross is a true brother in his eyes.

Gross was silent.

Silence fell in the room. The atmosphere gradually became a little heavy. Gross heard the dissatisfaction in Jehain's words. The news that he was tempted by the demon Rodament and was willing to fall was like a bombshell, causing an uproar among Lu Gaoyin's senior officials.

The designated heir of his second Lu Gaoyin family. Jehain is the supreme ruler of Lugaoin. Since he became Jehain when he was five years old, he was also the prince's retinue. The friendship between the two deepened day by day.

Jie Hai is the king and he is the prime minister.

This is no secret. Both the royal family and major families are very satisfied with this combination. No matter who he is, he relies on the powerful Lu Gaoyin to achieve his current wealth and status. An extremely powerful Lu Gaoyin is in their interest.

An enterprising monarch and a prime minister with great ambitions. Both are very young, both have unparalleled talents, and they both have the same ideals. With such a sharp combination, why worry about Lu Gaoyin not being strong?

However, Rodament's sudden appearance completely caused Gross to lose trust among Lugoin's senior management. The major families cannot accept a fallen person who has been tempted by the devil to participate in power.

There is no other reason. We are all human beings. Although we have been fighting openly and secretly for countless years, we are all human beings after all. On the surface, there is a grand reason to fight against the invasion of demons that maintains the entire interest group. But the fallen ones openly tore through this layer of skin. No one can tolerate this happening. Jehain has been under this huge pressure these days and insists on supporting Gross.

After a long silence, Gross looked calm, walked to sit across from Jie Hain, and solemnly asked without answering: "What does Lu Gaoyin need most if he wants to be strong?"

Jehain did not expect Gross to turn his back on the guest and ask such a question. He froze, sat up straight, and looked directly into the latter's eyes. After a moment of silence, he frowned slightly and replied seriously: "Talent."

"Yes, talent." Gross smiled happily, and his expression slowed down: "Jehein has insisted on this view in the past generations, so he will forcefully contain the Rogge camp. Relying on the talents who plundered the Rogge camp to strengthen Lugaoin. Facts This is indeed very effective. It is in Lu Gaoyin’s interest to suppress potential opponents. But after experiencing the sewer incident, I found that we were all wrong.”

Jehein was surprised and looked at Gross as if he were a stranger. Growing up, Gross was a fanatical Lugoin and firmly supported this policy. Who would have thought that an accident would make Gross seem like a completely different person.

"We were indeed wrong." Gross looked gloomy, lowered his head and murmured absently: "Strongly containing the Rogge camp will certainly bring Lu Gaoyin a lot of talents, but it will also further increase the suppressed anger in the Rogge camp. After thousands of years, Rogge Camp is now like a volcano about to erupt. It only needs a little external force to make a strong counterattack. Now, Rogge Camp has an opportunity.”

"Tristram, this is a huge treasure trove. Everyone is staring at this piece of cake. But as long as the Rog camp tightly grasps the entrance of Tristram, it is equivalent to putting this piece of cake in Their own plate. Whoever wants to share must lower their profile."

Having said this, Gross did not continue and took a long breath. He seemed to have unloaded the burden of many years and became much more relaxed. He continued: "If the Rogue Camp was not facing the crisis of destruction, they would not have taken the initiative to find us. After all, Lu Gaoyin has suppressed the Rogue Camp for too long. I think if there is no threat from the demons, Lu Gaoyin and the Rogue Camp must be a fight to the death."

"We still have a chance." Jhehain relaxed his brows and did not take this matter to heart.

Gross smiled. He understood what Jhehain meant. The Rogue Camp was about to be destroyed. Although there was a stable rear in Tristram, it was a heritage of thousands of years after all. He firmly believed that Akara would not give up the Rogue Camp easily. This was an opportunity. As long as he could get a piece of the pie from Tristram, the future of the Rogue Camp would not affect the development of Lu Gaoyin.

"I used to think so too." Gross smiled calmly, raised his head and looked directly into Jerhain's eyes: "We have squeezed the potential of Rogue Camp to its limit. What will happen in the future will not affect the development of Lugain at all. After all, Tristram is in the territory of Rogue Camp. We cannot occupy the greatest benefits. Our ultimate goal is to get a piece of the pie. But I found out that I was wrong."

After a pause, Gross's expression suddenly became serious, and he said softly: "Rogue Camp does not mind others sharing the benefits of Tristram."

Jerhain's expression changed slightly, and he looked incredible. Tristram is known as one of the greatest treasures of mankind and is coveted by all forces. Rogue Camp has been suppressed for so many years, how could it tolerate others to come in and divide Tristram.

"Reason?" Jerhain frowned tightly.

"The God's Grace." Gross shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Originally, I thought we had strangled the throat of the Rogue Camp, which was enough to ensure that Lu Gaoyin would get the greatest benefits. But when this God's Grace appeared, I found that our methods were useless against the Rogue Camp."

Jerhain was stunned again. The news of the God's Grace had already reached his ears. But he didn't take it to heart, and didn't plan to summon him. After all, theocracy and imperial power are irreconcilable contradictions. The two sides should not meet if they can. He didn't think that this God's Grace would actually affect Lu Gaoyin's interests.

"I don't know what method he used. In just a few days, he kidnapped Lord Farah. After the sewer incident, Lord Grez was also tempted. I'm afraid that if he stays for a while longer. Lu Gaoyin's title heirs will be kidnapped by him to the Rogue Camp."

Jerhain was stunned. Lu Gaoyin has developed to this point, and losing one or two title heirs is not a big deal to be honest. He was surprised that Gross, who has always been arrogant, would actually say the word "fear".

"Although I don't want to admit it, this is the fact." Gross saw the changes in the expression on Jerhain's face and smiled bitterly. He silently took out something from the space bag and pushed it in front of Jerhain.

This thing is a rectangular box. I don't know what material this box is made of. There is only a strange symbol engraved on the surface. It is black and heavy, and looks very extraordinary.

"The mark of Nifl." Jerhain raised his eyebrows and his heart skipped a beat. As the supreme ruler of Lugain, he knows a lot of ancient secrets. This strange symbol is the mark of Nifl, the best alchemist of the Horadrim.

"What does this...what does this have to do with the God of Grace?" Jerhain frowned and looked solemn.

"His goal should be this box." Gross said solemnly: "Before, he insisted on cleaning the sewers, but I didn't understand. After I regained consciousness, I went there secretly. The result surprised me. The second and third floors of the sewers have been cleaned up. I dare to swear on the honor of my family. This was definitely not done by those mercenaries, and no one has ever entered the sewers. Only he has the opportunity to do this. Although I don't know why he didn't find this box, I think he must have achieved his goal through some means."

Jerhain pondered. After a while, he asked uncertainly: "Then his purpose..."

"It doesn't matter." Gross's tone suddenly rose, and he slapped the box heavily: "The important thing is that we have gained an opportunity, an opportunity to truly make Lu Gaoyin strong."

"Speak." Jehain's expression became serious.

"We need him to resolve the conflict between Lugoin and the Rogue Camp. I don't have enough evidence. But I firmly believe that he must be the key to the Rogue Camp's willingness to share Tristram with others. We must seize this opportunity to win him over."

While speaking, Gross took out a scroll from his space bag: "This is the map of the Nifl Ruins. If I guess correctly, his goal is also this ruins."

"Use a ruin to exchange for his trust?" Jhein was surprised. Gross gave him a much greater surprise than before.

Gross smiled confidently: "Yes, I will use a ruin to exchange for his favor."
