Gardner. Martin looked at the members of the "Iron Blood Cross" opposite, nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Aim!"
With this order, Faustino and the others raised their glasses to their mouths.
This is aiming? Lumian almost laughed out loud, and the members of the "Iron Blood Cross" next to him were more serious than the other.
He roughly understood the essence of this ceremony and had certain speculations about what kind of development would occur in the future.
At this time, Gardner. Martin issued a new order:
"Fire!"
Almost at the same time, Parsifal, Blake and others grunted the red wine in the goblet and drank a third of it in one sip.
"Fire!"
Gardner. Martin said the second word out loud.
Lumian tilted his head slightly, and Gollum drank another third of the red wine.
Gardner. The same goes for Martin.
He then said:
"Strong attack!"
The members of the "Iron Blood Cross" present drank the remaining red wine completely.
Gardner. Martin let the goblet leave his mouth with a serious expression:
"Put down your weapons!"
As he spoke, he lifted the goblet above his eyes and pressed it against his forehead before putting it back on the table.
Vincent. Lorraine and the others made similar actions.
Then, they straightened their backs at the same time, patted their left chest with their right hands, and shouted in unison:
"War! War! War!"
With such a unison shout, Lumian felt a subtle change in the atmosphere in the room, which seemed to be stained with warmth, excitement, and passion.
And this atmosphere also infected the members of the "Iron Blood Cross", allowing them to immerse themselves in it, and feel like they are connected and brotherly to each other.
Even if he was not polluted by "abnormality" and did not have a fanaticism for ideas, in such an environment and atmosphere, Lumian was a little affected, and he was a little excited. (Note 1)
He was still slandering the "Iron-Blooded Cross" initiation ceremony just now as having no mystery, which did not match the name of the secret organization, but now he felt that it was just a temperament different from the "Aurora Society".
In addition, the more mysterious part is the vigil at 13 Market Avenue.
Gardner. Martin pressed down with his right hand, causing Faustino, Albus and others to stop instantly and become quiet.
He smiled again and said:
"Let's welcome our new brother, Lumian. Li!"
This time, he used Lumian's real name, indicating that the "Iron Blooded Cross" is very knowledgeable about the situation of the members.
The members of the "Iron Cross" Society, including "Supervisor" Olsen, applauded one after another, and Lumian stood up, poured himself a glass of red wine, and drank it in one gulp as a sign of respect.
This shows the true nature of his old tavern regulars.
"Very good, everyone is brothers, don't be too polite." Gardner sat down, waiting for Faustino to distribute plates and cut bread, and said with a smile, "I have just talked about the history and concept of our 'Iron Blood Cross', now let's talk about what we are going to do."
He immediately restrained his smile:
"The most important thing we have always done is to overthrow the current government, establish a kingdom ruled by the extraordinary, and transform the world, and for this we have been planning, we have been trying, we have established multiple branch organizations to prepare for unrest.
"Specifically, I use companies and gangs to control dockworkers, construction workers, porters, handymen and coolies in the market area, and let them take to the streets when necessary and use barricades against the police and the army."
Lumian frowned and asked suspiciously:
"Doesn't it mean that there is an essential difference between extraordinary people and ordinary people, and extraordinary people are above ordinary people? Why target those workers by controlling and using them?"
He found this ironic, the philosophy and behavior of the "Iron Blood Cross" were completely inconsistent.
Although this is normal, the idea is the idea, the slogan is the slogan, and it cannot be equated with reality, but after two of these things, you can't draw your face a second later.
If he hadn't just joined this secret organization, Lumian's tone would inevitably have more mockery.
Gardner. Martin laughed:
"Very keen, you have a very important problem.
"Before that, only Albus proposed it, and everyone else naturally accepted it."
Not just using ordinary people to create chaos, what other intentions? Lumian glanced sideways at Albus sitting on the edge of the dining table and found that the dark red-haired young man was in a rather casual posture, with his right leg upset and his ankle shaking continuously.
Gardner. Martin explained simply:
"First of all, we must understand one thing, why did those gods establish churches and spread doctrines?
"You probably wouldn't believe the saying 'God loves the world,' if they really loved them, the market would not be what it is now, and there would not be so many homeless people in Intis."
Lumian agreed with this, nodded slightly, and did not interrupt the words of the "chief".
Gardner. Martin smiled and said:
"We speculate that the gods need believers, and this has been confirmed in the past few hundred years of history.
"The more ordinary people we control, the more capital we have to make the Church of the Eternal Sun and the Church of Steam and Machinery fearful, reduce their support for the current government, and increase the probability of success in the unrest.
"In the end, this is an important bargaining chip for them to acquiesce or even change to support us."
"It's all bargaining chips......" Lumian's eyes flickered slightly.
He knew and came into contact with individuals and families.
Gardner. Martin sighed:
"If we want to control more workers and more citizens, in addition to our own efforts, we must also cooperate with the government and the National Assembly.
"I have always been very clear about that Huge. What kind of person is Artois, what forces are hidden behind it, but I still chose to support him in running for Congress, because I know that he will definitely do something, which will bring a lot of disasters to the market area, and he represents Congress, it is the government, the worse he does, the more people will come closer to us, but unfortunately, this piece of shit was assassinated just a few days after being elected."
It turns out that this is the Sava Party supporting Hug. Artois's reason...... I thought there was an evil god hidden behind you, and the evil gods all supported Yuge. Artois ...... Lumian suddenly realized when he heard this.
There is no Gardner. Martin personally explained that he had no understanding of the concept of the "Iron Blood Cross", and he really couldn't guess that this secret organization supported Huge. Artois's true intention to run for Congress.
Gardner. Martin summed up the previous words:
"So, in the market area, what we value most are docks, yards, warehouses, freight companies and construction companies, and the purpose of the Sava Party is to reach out to all kinds of people, collect the intelligence they need, and provide some funds for the organization.
"Of course, gangsters are also an important means for us to control ordinary people."
No wonder a lot of resources have been invested in the Savoyard Party...... Lumian looked at Blake, who looked focused on the "Blood Gloves", and mocked him in his heart that this guy was better at performing than himself.
You should have heard what the boss said countless times, what are you still focusing on?
Look at Albus, he has been eating, drinking, and shaking.
After Lumian nodded in understanding, Gardner. Martin took a sip of lipstick wine and said:
"The other thing we're doing is exploring the underground to find the entrance to Trier in the Quaternary period."
Hearing this topic, Lumian couldn't help but look at "Supervisor" Olsen, who had been silent.
The tall and thin man like a hungry bear was cutting a steak that was only medium rare, constantly stuffing bloody pieces of meat into his mouth.
Lumian's gaze swept back and forth around his neck a few times, but found no signs of a break.
Is the state of only the head and spine really a phantom created by him with some kind of ability? Lumian muttered silently.
But this is in line with the legend of Banxi Harbor!
"Either Olsen has a deep understanding of the changes in Bansy Harbor, or he has encountered similar monsters elsewhere......
"Even if it's just a phantom, it can't be imagined out of thin air, it must come from his experience and insight......
"Ms. 'Magician' said that most of his words should be true, and she suspected that the reason he had been missing for several months was that he had entered the Quaternary Trier......
"He met a monster there with only a head and a spine?
"Since he has entered the Quaternary Trier, why did Gardner. Martin is still looking for an entrance? Is Ms. 'Magician' suspicious?" Lumian had a series of thoughts and a series of speculations.
He looked at Gardner. Martin, puzzled, asked:
"Why are you looking for the entrance to Trier in the Quaternary Age?"
Gardner. Martin laughed:
"For other extraordinary people, it is hell, it is an abyss, a place of disaster that cannot be approached, but for the 'hunters', it means great treasure.
"And our 'Iron Blooded Cross' is dominated by extraordinary people in the 'hunter' path."
"Treasure?" Lumian thought of the Shadow Tree, the invisible sea of fire that could burn a piece of the root of the Shadow Tree.
Gardner. Martin said seriously:
"I don't know how much you know about the history of the Fourth Age, but I can only tell you that in the Fourth Age, the gods were still walking on the earth, and angels often appeared, and that period was also called the 'Age of the Gods'.
"In the 'Age of the Gods', there were three powerful countries in the Northern Continent, one of which was called the Tudor Empire, and its capital was the Trier that sank underground.
"Alistair Emperor of the Tudor Empire. Tudor is known as the "Blood Emperor", a true god, the god who controls the "hunter" path!
"He fell due to the divine war, and his remains are in Trirne in the Fourth Age!"
The remains of the "Blood Emperor" Tuduo? Lumian instantly remembered some of the contents of Aurore's sorcery notes.
She mentioned the three major empires of the Solomon Empire, the Trensorst Empire and the Tudor Empire, and mentioned the titles of "Blood Emperor", "Night Emperor", "Hades Emperor", "Black Emperor" and the "War of the Four Emperors".
According to Auror's description, the "Blood Emperor" is as powerful as a god.
