"cheers!"
The sound of clinking glasses sounded one after another, and the brightly lit space was filled with laughter.
This is a celebration banquet to congratulate the perfect conclusion of the charity auction. The attendees are all insiders of the temple. After a whole week of busy work, they finally relax and enjoy the joy of food and bonuses.
With the efforts of all the members of the temple, the goods worth 800 million debens were sold for more than 300 million yuan, which not only reached the red line set by Elurame that day, but also slightly exceeded it—meaning that there were One-twentieth of the funds fell into the account of the temple.
After deducting the cost of dividends, the income on the accounts of the Temple of Hades is still objective.
What's more, the heavy stone hanging in Yiwen's heart finally fell to the ground with ease.
"This time I was able to raise so much money, all relying on His Majesty to preside over the plan. For the achievement of saving the victims this time, I would like to offer you a toast!"
The master accountant who received the bounty drank heavily, his words and conversations were a little unclear, he stood up with difficulty, raised his glass and saluted Yi Wen.After the other party nodded slightly, he drank the wine in one gulp and poured it softly back on the seat.
Their drink is a kind of beer with a lot of foam, the liquid is clear blue, strong aroma, refreshing and slightly sweet taste, and the alcohol content is not high.Half drunk and half awake who can drink can only be attributed to the category of 'good mood and willing to get drunk'.
"Yes, yes, Brother Yiwen is so handsome!"
Xia Li's eyes were shining brightly, she kept nodding like a squirrel cracking melon seeds, and the scene of him coming out against the bronze bell on his shoulders kept replaying in his mind, the candlelight reflected in his pupils almost turned into a heart shape.
"Generally average."
Ivan pretended to be reserved, held up a flute-shaped silver cup, half-closed his eyes, and took a sip of the liquid in the cup.
Looking at the candle shadow curved like a slender snake in the cup, his slightly recovered mood sank again, and he could only forcefully cater to everyone with a happy face, pretending that he was also very happy.
Although he barely escaped from the clutches of the evil cousin, Yiwen's mood is still not good. After all, there are a group of people hiding in the dark and trying their best to kill him all day long.If he can't catch all these traitors in one go, he won't be able to eat a solid meal.
After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere was completely lively, and everyone played small games in small groups. Yiwen drank for a while, but finally couldn't bear the irritability in his heart, and leaned over to Yassin and asked in his ear:
"Is there any news from His Majesty?"
"After the queen sealed off Mirror Lake, she did catch a few rebels, but they all committed suicide by taking poison immediately, so they didn't get the key information, so...things haven't made any progress." Yassin hesitated. replied.
"I'm afraid it's the remnants of Ozymandis!"
Ivan put down his cup, with a chill in his voice.
"..."
Yaxin's eyes flashed, and after recalling what happened, he quickly came to a conclusion:
"Your Majesty, did you deduce it from the assassin who blew himself up...?"
As Ivan's security officer, he managed to stay vigilant throughout the whole process, and he didn't drink any alcohol during the banquet, so his brain is very clear now, and he can keep up with the opponent's thoughts even in a noisy environment.
"Well said."
Ivan nodded, recalling the assassin's actions, narrowed his eyes keenly:
"The assassin's sword is very fast, he can even perform long-range strikes, and his movement speed is also outstanding. He is very likely to be the holder of the Storm Spell. In addition, he can sneak into the temple without a sound. The insiders are related, and this spearhead is finally directed at the Temple of Storms."
"I'm very sorry……"
Yassin's expression was slightly stiff, revealing a trace of embarrassment - in theory, he and most of the people here, including Xia Li, belonged to the old department of Ozymandis, and it was really embarrassing to encounter such a thing.
"It's none of your business!"
Noticing the change in his expression, Ivan quickly realized that he had to reduce the attack area, and immediately added:
"These people have the weapons of the invaders. I'm afraid it's not just as simple as Ozymandis' subordinates. You may also be their targets. Be careful."
"Thank you for your reminder."
Hearing this sentence, his complexion immediately improved a lot.
------------
In the middle of the night, there was silence in the dark front hall. Ivan lit a candlestick, and the light became brighter, illuminating the polished floor. Wire.
He walked in front of the bronze mural, and pressed his palm on the mural, and the dark energy belonging to the underworld magic way slowly poured into it.In the next moment, as if the city was waking up at night, the mural began to light up layer by layer from the outside to the inside, and made a dull sound.
Not long after, the surface of the mural twisted and floated like a liquid, protruding outwards the outline of a jackal's head, a pair of dark yellow eyes with vertical pupils slowly opened, looking down at the person in front of him:
"Nice to meet you, ally of the dead, I can feel the confusion in your heart, so... what do you want from me today?"
"The magic of the underworld has brought me a lot of trouble. Every time I study it, I will come into contact with some special breaths... as if from another dimension, these breaths can even substitute me into another dimension."
"If I remember correctly, you were standing here a few nights ago and said the same thing." The demon god of the temple stared at him, and for a moment, it seemed that his eyes became narrow and long like reptiles, panting With cold light.
"But the answer you gave me is that you don't know anything."
Yiwen held up the candlestick, raised his head, and looked at those cold pupils: "Now the question has changed, tell me, are there any other practitioners in the Hades Demonic Way, and what is the fate of each of them?"
"Other trainees..."
The guardian narrowed his eyes slightly, made a thoughtful expression, and pondered for a moment:
"There are very few trainees of the holy scriptures of the underworld, and the magic of the underworld is one of them. If there are other trainees, I should be able to remember their names. Unfortunately, it is a pity. In my memory, the inheritance of the underworld You are the only one who inherits the magic way."
"Thank you for your answer, I will change the question."
Yiwen looked into its eyes and continued to ask: "Is there no other inheritors, or there are no other successors who have cultivated successfully? Please tell me a clear answer."
"..."
The guardian's eyes flickered slightly, and he spit out a heavy syllable:
"My answer is - there are no other inheritors."
Chapter 52 The Sin
"He did it! He actually did it!"
Ai Luluomei looked at the amount at the end of the account, the corners of her cherry-colored lips rose slightly, her eyes flashed with surprise, and finally couldn't contain her excitement, she held up the account book with a smile on her face, and walked back and forth in the meditation room.
The refreshing silver ponytail bounced happily behind her, swaying in a joyful arc. No one would have thought that the usually indifferent and proud queen would be happy like a carefree pony at this time.
Yes, Elu Romei is very happy now, and this may be the biggest joyful news she has encountered since she took the throne.
Because, after getting this money, she will have enough funds to invest in post-disaster reconstruction, and even update some of her armaments—this is about the stability of the throne, and no one will take it lightly.
"This guy is always a surprise... What a go-to guy."
Elle Luomei gradually regained her composure, and put the accounts back on the coffee table. Since the joy was still there, she still couldn't help but praise her.
However, with this compliment, Yiwen's figure flashed in her eyes immediately, and then the picture in her mind began to jump, and she soon recalled the bold speech that the other party broke into the bedroom at night-the favorability she had just accumulated dropped directly to negative number.
