A few days later.
Kaqi arrived as promised, returned from the giant wall to the deserted area stronghold, and reported to Dudian: "Master, everything you told me has been prepared.
Nicotine and Greili are waiting for you to return."
Dudian sat on the rocks with Hailisa, looking at the sunset in the distance.
Hearing Kaqi's words behind him, he didn't look back and just asked: "The news hasn't leaked out?"
Kaqi hurriedly said: "No, I followed your instructions and only told Greili, Nicotine, and your two friends.
No one else knows."
Dudian nodded slightly, looking at the dim sunset, thinking mockingly in his heart, the night is approaching, even the dazzling sun has been eroded into blood red and hideous.
Is this foreshadowing something?
He stood up slowly, patted the dust on his sleeves, took Hailisa's delicate hand, and said softly: "We can go home."
Halisha stood up silently, with a cold expression.
Kaqi looked at Halisha who was standing up, and felt a slight throbbing in his heart.
Every time he faced this girl, he had the terrifying feeling of living in the same cage with a tiger, and he couldn't help but want to leave as soon as possible, but he knew that, This girl's status in Du Di'an's heart seemed to be quite high, because he had never seen this cold-blooded young man be so close and gentle to anyone.
Dudian put several fully charged super batteries into the hunter's backpack and handed them to Kaqi to carry.
Then he took the lead to come under the rope in front of the giant wall.
He glanced at Hailisa.
In the instructions he taught, There was no instruction to climb yet, so he immediately reached out and hugged her waist.
He grabbed the rope with his other hand, clamped the lower end of the rope between his legs, and climbed up with one hand.
Kaqi was worried that the rope would break under too much weight and did not dare to follow him.
He stood on the ground and watched Dudian and Hailisa gradually move towards the top of the giant wall, but he was secretly awe-inspiring in his heart.
He did not expect that this mysterious origin would make him He felt that the girl who was extremely terrifying actually followed Du Dian like this.
The close relationship between the two was clearly demonstrated, and he became more and more fearful and awed towards Du Dian.
Dudian did not look down, and climbed to the top of the giant wall in one breath.
He pulled hard with his arms, used the force to jump up from the rope, and landed on the giant wall.
He glanced at Kachi who had just climbed up the rope at his feet.
Without urging, he waited.
While looking at the mountains, rivers and land inside the giant wall, the infinite scenery, the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
After a while, Kaqi climbed up the giant wall with sweat on his head and said: "Young master, I have kept you waiting for a long time."
"Let's go."
Dudian held Hailisa with one hand, came to the rope on the other side of the giant wall, and slid down the rope.
Night falls quietly.
The stars are dotted, beautifully decorating the night sky.
In front of a luxurious manor in a prosperous town in the business district, carriages arrived one after another.
The carriages did not stop outside the gate like ordinary noble visitors, but galloped directly to a spacious open space in the manor.
The people who got off the carriage, wearing strange masks, were led by their attendants and entered the brightly lit manor castle.
Different from the silent manor, deep underground in the manor, there was a bustling sound, like a lively market during the day.
Masked figures wandered around the square, picking out the materials they needed in front of various stalls, or the latest news in the area.
In addition, there were also works sold by some alchemists and potion masters.
Hawkeye stood at the window, quietly watching the familiar night scene in the square.
After a while, the door behind him was suddenly pushed open, and a handsome boy of seventeen or eighteen years old stepped into the room with a haughty expression and said: "Eagle Eye, the meeting is about to start.
How are you preparing the meeting materials that the elder asked you to prepare?"
Hawkeye frowned slightly.
He really didn't like to be disturbed by others, and at this moment, it was the person he disliked the most, doing the thing he disliked the most.
A trace of murderous intent flashed in his golden eyes, but He quickly hid it, including the anger in his heart.
He turned around and said with a smile: "Secretary Mal, I have prepared the information and can hand it over to the elder at any time."

The arrogant young man snorted coldly and said, "When you are ready, come to the conference room.
Don't keep everyone waiting."
"Okay, I'll be right away."
Hawkeye said with a smile.
The arrogant young man immediately turned around and left, grabbing the door handle with his backhand and closing it casually.
With a bang, the door shook and the door frame shook slightly.
Hawkeye's smile disappeared immediately, he grabbed an expensive art cup at hand and threw it out, hitting the wall with a bang and shattering into pieces.
He snorted coldly, grabbed the information on the bookshelf next to him, and walked out of the room.
In the conference room, seven figures were sitting on both sides of the round table.
At the top of the table, sat a stooped old man with a wrinkled face.
He was no different from ordinary old people on the street.
On his finger, he wore a Only a few people know about the inconspicuous dark green jade ring.
The price of this ring alone is enough to be worth 50% of the wealth of any of the six major consortiums.
The conference room was pushed open, and the young man came in.
The arrogance on his face had long disappeared.
He bowed humbly in front of the old man and whispered: "Elder, Hawkeye is already here."
The old man's eyelids were still half-closed as if he were dozing off, and he didn't respond.
He just hummed softly.
Soon, Hawkeye also entered the room.
He glanced at the boy who was standing behind the old man very well.
At this moment, there was no trace of arrogance on the latter's face.
He only glanced at it and then turned his head and said to the old man: "Elder, I have prepared the information you want."
With that, he handed the information in his hands to the old man.
The old man didn't answer.
The young man took it dexterously and placed it respectfully on the table in front of the old man.
The old man was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Everyone, in a few days, there will be an elders' meeting.
Every elders' meeting is nothing more than a discussion of ranking matters.
Judging from the performance of our ninth district in the past six months, do you think , after this elders meeting, where can our ninth district be ranked?"
Hearing this, the expressions of the six people sitting down changed slightly.
One of them, a woman with a hot and plump figure, immediately said: "Elder, we are not to blame.
If you want to blame us, you can only blame the elder who took office.
He has done nothing and said nothing since he took office.
He also dismissed six of our council members and imprisoned me in a dungeon.
Fortunately, Elder, you came and freed me.
Otherwise, our power in District 9 would have become even weaker."
"Yes."
Another burly man said with a deep voice: "Elder, we have tried our best to develop, but after the previous elder dismissed six members, he suddenly disappeared.
During his tenure, nothing happened.
Qian, before our Ninth District was invaded, he completely ignored it, causing us heavy losses.
If it weren't for him, our Ninth District would definitely be able to continue to maintain its status as District Ninth, and even have the possibility of rising."
"That's right."
Another person immediately agreed and said: "Elder, if you hadn't arrived in time, our ninth district would have been even more chaotic without anyone to lead us.
We probably would have been at the bottom.
Although I have vigorously cultivated many potential newcomers these days, But after all, time is short, I believe that by the next elders meeting, we will definitely be able to restore our ranking in District 9."
The old man raised his hand slightly, stopped other people who wanted to speak, and said indifferently: "The incoming elder has a heavy responsibility, I know this, but during the period when I took over, how did you complete the tasks assigned to you?"

Hearing this, everyone was startled and looked at each other with ugly expressions.
"As members, you have shown such neglect.
I am very disappointed, and the Speaker is also very disappointed," the old man said indifferently.
Upon hearing the word "Speaker", everyone's expressions changed slightly, and a trace of awe flashed in their eyes.
"This time the ranking will definitely drop."
The old man said slowly: "However, because of the bad influence of the previous elders, I will not be able to bear this incident.
I hope that at the next elders meeting, you will not Make it difficult for me, and if it’s difficult for me, it will be difficult for everyone else, you know?”
Everyone had different thoughts, and they all lowered their heads and said, "Yes."
"Okay."
The eyes in the slits of the old man's eyes flickered slightly, he glanced at everyone, and ordered to the eagle eye on the side: "Pass the information to everyone, everyone, this is the eighth district that has mainly been against us in the past six months.
Let’s take a look at the latest information about District 11, the increase in the number of their three-star alchemists, and the status of the newly born five-star potion master in District 8.”
"A new five-star potion master has appeared in District 8" Everyone was slightly shocked and immediately grabbed the information and started reading it.
The old man said slowly: "When this elders meeting is over, I plan to capture the Rhea neighborhood in the East District.
It is the ancestral home of the Moss family in the Huasheng Consortium.
If we can capture it, it will be possible to strangle Moss."
The throat of the family, in this way, can also make up for the losses caused by the previous elder."
At this point, a cold wind suddenly blew from outside, causing the temperature in the room to instantly cool down, making it chilly.
The old man frowned slightly and was about to tell the young man to close the door tightly.
Suddenly, he felt a cold palm on his shoulder.
At the same time, an extremely plain voice sounded in his ears: "Everyone, you are talking about me
