The place where Linton and Diaros arrived was in a somewhat gloomy castle. The decoration in the room looked very luxurious, even more luxurious than the decoration in the round table hall before. But the problem is that the whole room is lit with some red candles, making the whole interior red, which makes people uncomfortable.
A masked woman sits on a chair on the right side of the hall, and behind her stands a tall knight in heavy armor. Needless to say, this woman should be Ms. Tanis mentioned by Laya.
"Hello, two faders, my name is Tanis." Seeing the eyes of Linton and Diaros looking over, Tanis also said proactively. Although the other party was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face, he could imagine that the other party should be a young and beautiful woman just by hearing the voice.
"I heard Laya's report. It is said that both of you are promising heroes." Tanis said, "I now formally invite you to join the Volcanic Mansion, but I must first explain to you that in our opinion, blessings We don’t intend to follow the guidance, the arrogant empty words of the fingers, and everything imposed. Joining us is equivalent to drawing swords against the Golden Tree. Even so, are you willing to join us and fight side by side with us?”
"Who is this?" Linton didn't answer, but pointed to a painting behind Tanis and asked. Just behind where Tanis was sitting hung a huge portrait of a mighty middle-aged man in a gorgeous coat with a sword in his hand. Looking at the position of the painting, I feel that the person in the painting should be the owner of the mansion, or if the woman in front of me is the owner of the mansion, shouldn't there be a portrait of her hanging here?
Tanis paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at the painting behind her, and said after a while, "This portrait is the portrait of my king Lakad."
"Desecrate King Lakad?" Linton was a little surprised, but was this volcano mansion the power of Lakad?
"Is it blasphemy? Indeed." Tanis didn't deny it when she heard the title, but continued, "The golden tree gives blessings to those who fade, but compared with the mission they shoulder, this blessing is really too small. So The faders desire power and are forced to do so, just like the situation faced by the kings who got the fragments when Elden's ring was broken. Without power, they will be wiped out."
"The shard kings are forced to snatch each other's power. My Lord cannot accept this superficial behavior. Since the gods intend to ruin us, even if we commit the crime of blasphemy, we must rise up and defend our dignity." Tanis continued.
"I see. Simply put, they are rebels?" Linton nodded, "So what you rebelled against was the golden tree, right, and that's why you were called a blasphemy king."
"Yes, this is a true hero's road, full of profanity and ridicule, or only these can breed a true hero." Tanis said.
"Then what is your purpose in attacking other faders?" Linton asked.
"Those faders who only follow the guidance of the golden tree and don't think at all, we will plunder their power as a weapon against the gods." Tanis said.
"Understood, to put it simply, you think your salary is not enough, and then randomly rob passers-by, thinking that by robbing, you can become a big capitalist and start a new company." Linton nodded.
"Although I don't understand, your tone of voice probably doesn't agree with our approach," Tanis said.
"What about Lakkad, I'm curious, what role does he play in it?" Linton said, "You said that you rob passers-by, so is Lakkad collecting taxes from it? He needs to rob others if he wants to fight against the gods." Who is he robbing... I've never heard of a capitalist setting up a company for charity, so he must be taking the lion's share."
"If you don't agree with our philosophy and don't want to draw your sword against the Golden Tree, please leave here," Tanis said.
"Let me just ask, can't I say it? You said let us join, let us attack other faders, so do you need to pay tribute to Lord Lakad for the power you get from other faders?" ? If you want to pay tribute, how much do you want? Before you enter the company, ask what you want, otherwise, if you don’t explain clearly, what is the difference between you and the golden tree you are talking about, he will just give you a little, and let you work hard for him, so you It will be the opposite, right, now it's your turn, what do you do?" Linton asked with a smile.
"There is no need to pay tribute. The power you seize belongs to you. Our approach is different from that of the Golden Tree," Tanis said.
"Then your Lord Lackard is really a good person, purely doing charity." Linton nodded, "But as an employee who is about to join the job, I am also a little worried. Since we are going to fight against the gods, Lackard will always get Let's get stronger, he is the main force against the gods, where does he get his strength?"
"These...you don't need to know. After all, you are not a member of us yet. When you officially join us and meet Lord Lakad, you will naturally know everything." Tanis seemed annoyed by the question, and said directly .
"So that's the case. It's reasonable not to tell outsiders about the company's future development direction." Linton nodded, "Then let me ask again, our company always has some excellent employees, right? , Is it true that some people have become stronger, can you show us the results of these people? This way we also have some hope, right? "
"If you're just here to make trouble, please leave here." Tanis said directly, probably losing her patience.
"From what you said just now, you at least feel that what you or your adults are doing is correct and just. You also said that it is the way to become a hero, right. If that's the case, what do you have to hide? ?Your concealment is desecrating the ideals of your family, okay? Think about it for yourself, when you think that these things cannot be told to me publicly, did you already have the idea of 'this may not be the right thing'? You Are you sorry for your lord? He is so righteous and great, but you are questioning him." Valley map
"I won't question my king!" These words directly broke Tanis's defense, and she stood up and shouted excitedly.
"Then there's nothing you can't say!" Linton also roared directly, "Seriously, I've already guessed what's going on after hearing this, and who are you using to fool with this little trick of yours? Card is a philanthropist? The purpose of establishing an organization is to do good deeds and help people become stronger? I’m afraid it’s not about skinning people to absorb their essence.”
"What... mean?" Dialos next to him asked, but still didn't understand.
"How did Lakad become stronger? Isn't this the best material to become stronger? Isn't this group of traitors who rob others? They rob others, and Lakad reaps the benefits. Just rob his men and it's over. I That's right, Ms. Tanis." Linton said with a smile.
"What? This..." Diaros looked at Tanis in surprise.
"..." Tanis didn't refute immediately, and there was even a weird silence.
"The blasphemy of the king is really a good title. This is really a garbage organization that is rotten from the beginning to the end. With a beautiful name, it is doing things that are more hypocritical than the Golden Tree. At least people will not say that we are doing charity. You guys Are you ashamed to say that you are a hero? As long as you have a face, you won’t be so disgusting.” Linton said.
"Please get out of here." Tanis seemed to stop trying to quibble, and waved directly at Linton and Diaros. At the same time, the tall knight standing behind her also moved, obviously ready to make a move.
But before the knight could draw out his weapon, Linton kicked him without saying a word. With a loud bang, the knight here turned into a straight line and crashed through the wall behind, disappearing directly into the building.
Looking at the furnace knight who disappeared in an instant, Tanis didn't even react, and stared blankly at the big hole in the wall behind her. At this time, one hand directly pinched her head and lifted her up.
"To tell you the truth, I also want to chop the golden tree, and I can't deal with those who claim to be gods. But I understand now that the golden tree is at least a bit of a bottom line, and you guys are the real bottom line None, I really need the support of my peers. Compared with you, the golden tree grows a little cuter." Linton said.
"Let go of me..." Tanis began to struggle.
"Oh oh oh, what happened here?" A knight wearing armor and holding a snake-shaped sledgehammer walked out of the next room, obviously attracted by the loud noise when Linton kicked the furnace knight away just now. However, seeing the situation in front of him, the other party did not save the person immediately, but looked at the situation in front of him with interest.
"Which one?" Linton asked directly.
"Me? My name is Bernal, a... warrior." The man named Bernal replied.
"Did you kill the woman named Renia?" Linton asked directly.
"I... killed a lot of people, but I don't think I've heard of someone named Renia." Bernal thought for a while and said.
"I'm going to kill Lakad now, are you going to stop me with me?" Linton asked again.
"Kill Lakad?" Bernal was a little surprised, "It's really... terrible. Of course I won't stop you, if you make a good decision. The law of the jungle is our rule, even I will do it well It's a terrible preparation for a good death. But I want to witness this scene."
"Follow." Linton directly dragged Tanise around, "No, you lead the way."
"Let me confirm, you just said that you also want to chop the golden tree, right?" Bernal asked suddenly.
"That's right." Linton nodded.
"Understood, follow me." Bernal said, raising his weapon.
