Chapter 149 S-level mission, one of the twelve elders of the Scarlet Council: Richard
Richard was shocked by the news that the Scarlet Council had kidnapped the third princess.
After taking a few deep breaths to suppress his inner emotions, he opened the attribute panel of this mysterious man in a cloak with strong curiosity.
Jones
boss unit
grade:? ? ?
? ? ?
? ? ?
The opponent is not a hero, but a boss unit.
What's even more exaggerated is that he can't even see the opponent's level, it's all question marks.
The other party is definitely the most powerful and mysterious NPC he has ever encountered, bar none.
Richard looked at this mysterious visitor solemnly and said in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency is"
Ferguson and the dwarf Knowles came to their senses at this time. After the two bowed to the mysterious cloaked man, Ferguson took the initiative to introduce him.
"Richard, this is the president of the Scarlet Parliament, Lord Jones!"
"Lord Jones, this is the Richard I mentioned to you. He took back the blood of the Holy Dragon from the hands of angels and demons and escorted me back."
"After those betrayers attracted the devil and I was kidnapped, he went to Black Oak Manor alone to find Knowles for help."
"And he formulated a plan to use the Templar City army to eradicate the betrayers, and personally completed the task, buying valuable time for Knowles."
The blue eyes under the cloak took a deep look at Richard, showing some admiration.
Then the mysterious president slowly pulled down the cloak on his head, and a face that made Richard look solemn appeared in front of him.
The other person was about 50 years old, and his face was covered with large and small scars, as if he had carved them on the mirror tens of thousands of times with a sharp knife.
Tragic and cruel.
Just looking at it makes people heart-wrenching. No one can imagine how much pain the other person has suffered.
This is a boss with a story. Generally speaking, the strength of such a character is often extremely terrifying.
But unexpectedly, the next second, Jones saluted him very seriously.
"Your Excellency Richard, thank you for your help"
This move immediately made Richard look at the opponent's three points.
With such terrifying strength, you can still sacrifice your body to salute him. This kind of heart is not simple.
Richard returned the gift.
"Sir Jones, you're welcome, I'll take the reward too."
The other person smiled, making the scars on his face more eye-catching.
"It doesn't matter"
Before he finished speaking, a long and low roar suddenly came from the sky, and a powerful force enveloped the earth.
Jones looked up at the domed ceiling, as if those deep eyes penetrated the building.
His face turned a bit colder.
"It is a great shame that such a powerful military unit is ruled by a group of lowly nobles like worms"
When Richard heard this, he suddenly remembered what Knowles, a level 19 dwarf, said yesterday when he met him.
Ferguson's sanity was swallowed up by the flames of revenge, and he wanted to overthrow those nobles at all costs
It seemed that the Scarlet Council was just as he had guessed. Everything they did was to destroy the Templar Empire.
This is true for the vice-president, and so is the president.
I don’t know what they have encountered before making this choice
However, given the urinary nature of the copy, the experience was absolutely horrifying, and the scars on Jones's face seemed to say a lot.
Just as he was about to speak, a system prompt suddenly rang in his ears.
"Ding~ The three princesses of the Templar Empire disappeared for no reason in the Temple City, which aroused the anger of the King of the Templar Empire. He issued an order to everyone to find the missing three princesses.
Mission difficulty: S level, mission reward: the title of Earl of the Templar Empire, personally commended by the King of the Templar Empire. ”
This prompt rang three times.
Richard glanced at Jones. The princess was in the hands of the Scarlet Council. Are you going to use this to test the cadres?
I opened the chat channel and took a few glances, and sure enough, a large number of players were discussing this matter.
He discovered that this was an open task that could be accepted by other players except the Evil Pact camp.
However, judging from the S-level rating, the difficulty is simply astronomical.
"You may not believe it, but I know the clues to this S-class mission."
"And the culprit is right in front of me."
"What's even more terrible is that I am also one of them."
Richard felt a little pity that he had no chance of completing the S-level mission.
If he leaked his mission, he would be killed in an instant by the seemingly polite but questionable boss in front of him.
The Scarlet Council had been planning for so long, so how could they let him destroy the plan casually?
For him, the Scarlet Parliament has more oil and water.
He has now reached the top of the Scarlet Council, and the goodwill he has established with Ferguson and Knowles through their difficulties is no joke.
No matter what it is, you must have a life to take it.
Are S-level missions accessible to ordinary people?
An A-level mission almost killed him.
"Your Excellency Richard, I admire your courage and attitude. Are you willing to join the Scarlet Council?"
At this time, the mysterious boss Jones interrupted his thoughts.
Richard's eyes narrowed and he repeated.
"Sir Jones, you invite me to join the Scarlet Council?"
The other person's face full of scars showed some deep meaning.
"Yes, don't rush to give me the answer. Do you know the purpose of the Scarlet Parliament?"
Richard shook his head, "Mr. Ferguson didn't mention it to me"
Jones's blue eyes showed a fiery light.
At this moment, there seemed to be fire burning inside.
"The purpose of the Scarlet Parliament is to overthrow the decadent aristocratic rule! Send the king to the guillotine!
"We want to form a city hall and elect officials from the residents to govern!"
"Build a kingdom where the future of the country will be decided by residents' elections!"
"Each of us is born free, why should we be ruled by those corrupt kings and nobles!!"
"This fate is unfair to each of us. Since it is unfair, then overturn it! Even if it is fate!"
Shit, send the king to the guillotine? Why is this slogan so similar to Western bourgeois revolution?
Richard was shocked.
Is this a time and space confusion?
But looking at Jones, who was looking at him with unprecedented seriousness, he felt that any questioning was like blasphemy.
The president of the Scarlet Council seemed like the most devout believer to see the god he had believed in all his life.
The faith that emanates from deep within, is firm, unquestionable, and even willing to sacrifice one's life and soul for it.
No one can shake it.
In an environment where aristocratic rule has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, high combat power can determine the survival or death of a kingdom in a fantasy time. This kind of system where ideals are greater than reality has almost no room to exist.
But the other party just had this idea.
Although idealists often have unpredictable endings, Richard admires such people.
And this is definitely a task with great potential that can be explored.
His eyes were firm and his tone was sonorous.
"President Jones, Lord of Twilight City - Richard, is willing to join the Scarlet Council and fight to overturn fate!"
"We are born free, no one can restrain us, not even gods!"
"Kings, nobles, and religions are the source of the oppressed residents of these three mountains. They are the sighs of the residents at the bottom and are the most tragic feelings in the heartless world."
"We will destroy anyone who stands in our way!!"
"Absolutely, absolutely cannot surrender!"
These words without any false pretense caused the three people in the room to have a favorable impression of Richard to the extreme.
Coupled with what he had done before, his eyes were instantly filled with intimacy.
Comrade! This is a comrade who understands and recognizes them!
Jones was also happy, he could sense that Richard's words were not false at all.
This level of thought is too high. He spent a lot of energy convincing other people before.
Unexpectedly, he only heard him say it once and shouted out slogans that go straight to the core of the problem: king, nobility, and religion are the three mountains.
It's a pity that he doesn't know that there is a powerful knowledge inheritance called compulsory education, which is understood by more than a billion people in another world.
He looked at Richard solemnly.
"Richard, your thoughts are the treasure of the Scarlet Parliament! And no one can ignore your contribution to the Scarlet Parliament."
"When we eradicated the traitors just now, three of the twelve speakers of the Scarlet Council Elders were executed."
"There is a vacancy in the seat. Although you are weak, your courage and wisdom are enough to take on the important task!"
"I appoint you as one of the twelve seats of the Scarlet Council Elders, responsible for the Scarlet Council spreading the beliefs and purposes of the Scarlet Council to the outside world, and attracting more talents to fight against the fallen Templar Empire together!"
"Let us overthrow this decadent kingdom together! Build a kingdom that truly belongs to the people at the bottom of the Templar Empire!"
Richard's expression instantly became very exciting.
So he became one of the twelve elders of the Scarlet Council?
Just because of these words? Is this possible?
The Scarlet Council is a terrifying force that can kidnap the three princesses who command the Templar Dragoons. No one knows how terrifying its hidden strength is.
Now, he has become one of the rulers of this force. Although he is a propaganda man, he is also an elder.
Is this a reward that comes with the A-level mission, or did his words make the other party get an unusual promotion?
If this identity is operated well, it will definitely bring him huge profits.
Richard felt that he had made the right bet.
He took a deep breath and said with firm eyes.
"President Jones will live up to his trust!"
Jones nodded, slowly stepped forward, waved his hand, and a scarlet book appeared in his hand.
"Reach out your hand"
Richard didn't hesitate and stretched out his right hand.
Jones waved his arm, and a blood slit appeared directly on his wrist, and blood gushed out and dripped on the Scarlet Book.
In an instant, blood bloomed, and Richard felt a special energy bound to him.
After the light faded, Jones slowly closed the book.
The scar on his wrist also healed in an instant.
"This is the scarlet council's most precious treasure - the Scarlet Book."
"As long as the blood remains on it, you can sense your location and safety through this."
"At the same time, at a critical moment, I can directly open the door to space and come to your side to provide support."
The moment the other party finished speaking, the system prompt rang again.
"Ding~ You successfully joined the hidden force - the Scarlet Council, and became one of the twelve elders who control the power of the Scarlet Council. You achieved a special achievement - the Underground Ruler, and received 5 gold points."
"While serving as the Twelve Elders, you can get 1 additional gold point every week."
"Gold points can be exchanged for rare items that cannot be exchanged for ordinary points after the end of Time Shards. They are extremely precious."
"You received a weekly salary of 1,000 units of gems, 1,000 units of mercury, and 1,000 units of crystal."
"You can command a portion of the Scarlet Council's troops to perform missions."
"You have the privilege of purchasing supplies from the Scarlet Council at a 30% discount"
Richard looked at this series of prompts and his breathing became rapid.
He decided. As long as you stay in the dungeon for one day, you will live and die with the Scarlet Parliament!
No one should disturb him, he has decided on this elder!
