Ideals
After Gardner·Martin's Butler Faustino brought Lumian into the room, he did not leave. Instead, he opened his arms and said with a smile, "Welcome, new brother."
Are you also a member of "Iron and Blood Cross Order"? Lumian was a little surprised at first, but then thought it was natural.
Butler are the eyes, ears, hands and feet of the owner. Gardner·Martin It is impossible to hide many Concealment things from Butler, so, either develop Butler into a member of "Iron and Blood Cross Order", or find a member of "Iron and Blood Cross Order" to be Butler.
Lumian's eyes swept over Faustino's slightly gray temples, relatively sunken and Library's Eye Sockets and light blue eyes, and he hugged back. "Thank you."
Faustino, who has a more serious temperament and is dressed close to Butler, walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair on the west side, and said to Lumian, "Sit here."
Lumian nodded lightly and sat down in a relaxed state, just like returning to his own home.
Of course, thanks to the teachings of Aurora, he did not have the habit of lifting his legs and placing his feet on top of each other on the edge of the dining table.
Faustino sat down next to Lumian and simply explained, "Several brothers will come later."
A quarter of an hour later, several other "Iron and Blood Cross Order" members arrived. Under the introduction of Faustino, Lumian hugged them one by one.
They are:
Vincent Lorraine represents Gardner·Martin and participates in the operation of Lister Docks. He is less than thirty years old, does not wear glasses, has black hair and blue eyes common to Intis, has a gentle appearance, is thin, and has his hair neatly combed back., not much different from common company employees, Lumian intuitively thought that he was not Beyonder of "Hunter" Pathway, and felt a little confused about this - how did he pass Night-Watch Segment?
Parsifal, who helps Gardner·Martin manage Yard and Freight Company, looks like a middle-aged man who can be seen everywhere. His brown hair is neither long nor short, slightly messy. When the brown Eyes smiles, he will appear quite friendly. Once he is emotionless, he will make people feel very cold and afraid to approach;
Albus is not responsible for specific affairs and seems to be walking in the dark. His hair seems to be dyed a little red, and his brown eyebrows and eyes are very sharp. Overall, he is a good-looking young man who seems to be hard to like;
There is also an acquaintance of Lumian, "Blood Palm" Black of Savoie Gang.
The manager of Honest Man's Market is in his thirties. He wears formal clothes, has brown hair and blue eyes, and a round face. He always has a warm smile on his face and always smokes Cigar slowly and slowly.
Lumian has always suspected that there is an official "Iron and Blood Cross Order" member within Savoie Gang, representing Gardner·Martin He secretly monitored the movements of Market District and Savoie Gang with his will, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be "Blood Palm" Black with a weak sense of existence.
He originally thought it was Baron Brignais or "Rat" Christo - he thought the latter might have played the role of Observer in the last transaction.
Now looking at Black, Lumian feels that his temperament is somewhat similar to Gardner·Martin.
Counting Faustino and himself, there were six members of "Iron and Blood Cross Order" present.
Lumian used to always slander, saying, "Savoie Gang It's too much to have five or six Beyonders in such a regional Gang." But now, he takes it for granted.
As a Concealment organization with a history of two to three hundred years, it is normal for "Iron and Blood Cross Order" to have such a background. Even if it is only its peripheral branch, it will enjoy a lot of resources.
After exchanging pleasantries, Butler Faustino introduced the things on the table to Lumian:
"In the next Ritual, the wine glass is our weapon, which can also be regarded as a cannon, Red Wine is an ordinary explosive, White Wine is a powerful explosive, food is a material, and a knife and fork is a sharp sword..."
Lumian listened quietly. The more he listened, the more he felt that there was something wrong with the minds of these people.
Isn't this too self-aware?
In other words, what is the Mysticism significance of this?
After Faustino finished speaking, Gardner·Martin, who had changed into Tailcoat, walked into the room.
Wearing an Iron Cross inlaid with red gemstones on his chest, he stood to the east of the long dining table, facing the six members sitting on the west side.
The floor was cleared, and the five members except Lumian stood up at the same time, very neatly.
Yo...Lumian made a sigh of relief in his heart and stood up.
"Good evening, 'Chief'." Faustino, Black and others bowed to greet each other in no particular order. Lumian was a little slower.
Gardner·Martin pressed Subordinate to the right, motioning for everyone to sit down, and then said with a smile, "When 'Supervisor' comes, we will officially start Ritual."
"Charles, let me first tell you what the core layer you are about to join represents."
Gardner·Martin looked into Lumian's eyes, and his tone gradually became serious:
"We all belong to a Concealment organization, a Concealment organization with hundreds of years of history.
"It's called 'Iron and Blood Cross Order'."
Lumian didn't deliberately show surprise or astonishment, after all, it was a relatively ordinary-sounding name.
The dark Red Hair young man Albus sitting at the edge of the dining table opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but was stared back by Gardner·Martin.
The "Chief" of "Iron and Blood Cross Order" shifted his gaze back to Lumian's face:
"Nearly three hundred years ago, several big figures jointly established 'Iron and Blood Cross Order'. They believed that Deity was just a more powerful Beyonder. No matter from which aspect, even the weak Beyonder was fundamentally different from Ordinary Person.
"Our philosophy is that no matter which way you obtain extraordinary power, you should be recognized, receive corresponding status and treatment, and be above Ordinary Person. However, the two major Church and the government are only willing to recognize the Beyonder they have cultivated, and stipulate that extraordinary power should not be exposed to Ordinary Person as much as possible.
"This is behavior that goes against nature and the trend of history, and we must change it.
"This also means that we have to be enemies with the government and the two big Churchs, but you don't have to be afraid. We are powerful enough and have real Half-Gods.
"In the future, if the two major Churchs are willing to let Chao Chao come to the world and recognize Wild Beyonder's status, it is not impossible for us to cooperate with them."
To put it simply, the ultimate goal is to overthrow the government and establish a country where Beyonder serves as managers at all levels? Lumian interpreted the words of Gardner·Martin from his own perspective.
Gardner·Martin glanced at the six "Iron and Blood Cross Order" members sitting opposite, and smiled again:
"Our 'Iron and Blood Cross Order' power is mainly concentrated in Intis, and more than one-third of them are in Trier. You have also seen that in just Market District, we have so many brothers who are not weak in strength, and there are even more Beyonder who are indirectly controlled by us.
"I am 'Chief'. I am responsible for leading you and handling all matters of Market District. Above me, there are several Branch President, who can also be called 'Deputy Legion Commander'. Each of them is a real and powerful Half-God.
"Above Branch President is our 'Iron and Blood Cross Order' President, also called 'Legion Commander'. He is mysterious and terrifying.
"Below me is 'Noncommissioned Officer'. When we have more than ten brothers in Market District, I will appoint two 'Noncommissioned Officer' to help me manage. 'Noncommissioned Officer' can get more resources and more powerful help."
Is this an army game? Lumian starts by guessing the names of different levels from "Iron and Blood Cross Order".
Gardner·Martin glanced at the door and said, "In addition to these, we also have multiple 'Supervisor', each 'Supervisor' acts independently and patrols the jurisdiction of different 'Chief'.
"In the future, if something goes wrong with me and I behave abnormally, you must find 'Supervisor' as soon as possible and report the situation to him. Similarly, if you find that 'Supervisor' has done something abnormal, tell me immediately."
Speaking of this, Gardner·Martin said to Lumian with a slightly playful smile, "Charles, let me introduce to you 'Supervisor', Olsen, who is responsible for Market District."
Lumian followed Gardner·Martin's fingers with some confusion and turned his gaze to the door.
The next second, a tall and thin man wearing a blue vest and black formal suit walked in from outside.
The man had short brown-red hair, Eyes brown-red, a pair of thick eyebrows, and a thick and messy beard, like a male bear that had been hungry for a long time.
Lumian's pupils dilated instantly and he recognized who "Supervisor" Olsen was.
He is That One Trader, the Trader who met Underground, Lumian, Christo, and Simon!
Lumian clearly remembers that he is a Monster, with only his head and a bloody Spine left, and is being chased by another headless Monster. Both are very dangerous, but now, he has come to the ground and appeared in the home of Gardner·Martin!
Lumian couldn't help but look at Olsen's hands and saw the pale skin and the small suitcase being carried.
He has a body again? He and the headless Monster have become one? Lumian watched Olsen with thoughts as he walked to Gardner·Martin.
He began to suspect that the two Monster he met when completing the transaction were Phantom created by Olsen, and that he himself was not abnormal.
Since trading is a test, it is not surprising that Monster is fake.
But that's too real, right? Lumian looked at Gardner·Martin and Olsen suspiciously, each took a goblet and said to everyone present, "Load explosives!"
Albus, Parsifal and other "Iron and Blood Cross Order" members then placed a goblet in front of them and poured the attractive-colored Red Wine into it.
Is this loading explosives? Lumian Remember Faustino said that wine glasses are weapons or cannons, and wine is explosives.
After he filled the "cannon with explosives," Gardner·Martin said loudly, "Stand up!
"Hold your weapon in your right hand!"
The next second, everyone stood up and placed their right hands on the goblet filled with a lot of Red Wine.
"Raise weapons!" Gardner·Martin issued a new order.
At the same time, he raised the wine glass to his chest.
Lumian was amazed, while Imitation noticed the actions of the surrounding members.
