Lord of Enigma - Chapter 561

[Chapter 555 The Sword Bearer and the Eagle Scholar (4,000-word chapter!)]

“I didn’t expect that one day I would also have the opportunity to become a member of the mysterious organization behind the scenes.”

Tang Qi muttered and looked into his room.

Eva has already left, and the Wilnas Goblin went to work in the library downstairs early. The night beast has often mysteriously disappeared recently. From its changing body, it is not difficult to see that this little guy should be at a critical moment of transformation.

As for gluttony, well, don’t worry about it.

Thoughts flickered and fell, Tang Qi did not hesitate any longer, and opened the exquisite and simple box in his hand. As the magic poured in, the eyes at the center of the “Eagle’s Nest” symbol radiated radiance that penetrated the soul, and there was a light click. Inside, on the bright red ribbon, lay two things: an invitation letter, a black Eagle Feather.

Tang Qi’s eyes fell on the bottom of the invitation letter for the first time, and two familiar names were written on it:

William O’Neill!

John Wesley!

Needless to say, the former is the mayor of Mihuang and the director of the Castle Bureau, the No. 1 figure in this metropolis, and also the patriarch of the profound William family. Although Tang Qi has not really met him, he has already met with him. Two of William’s three brothers met.

Old Coulson was a respectable “healer”, while William Marshall was a real noble with a dignified temperament.

Based on the relationship between Tang Qi and the Castle Bureau, it is not surprising that William O’Neill would recommend Tang Qi to join the club.

The second one, the name John Wesley, represents the Archbishop of the Mihuang Division of the Church of Light, who is a real big man.

However, according to rumors, the old man is not keen on power, but a scholar who is keen on studying theology.

Tang Qi recalled his relationship with the church. Apart from being a good friend with “Stana”, he had no other connection. Perhaps his joint recommendation was also derived from Tang Qi’s identity as a “scholar”.

While thinking about it in my mind, I looked at other areas on the invitation.

Except for the blank, the part used for signature.

The rest, no surprise, are some requirements for membership.

In addition to the iron law of “maintaining federal interests”, there are also unsurprising rules such as “not to sell members” and “not to disclose information about the Holy Eagle’s Nest”.

As for the details of the Holy Eagle’s Nest, its organizational structure, or anything else, it is unknown before joining.

Even if you agree to join the club, you must go through a test.

However, after joining the membership, there are no mandatory obligations.

If you refuse, simply return the box to either the Church or the Castle Bureau.

“It is indeed a loose and mysterious organization. Without the constraints of rules, it will naturally not have strong cohesion and will not be able to cause great damage… With a high probability, it is an organization that shares and helps each other.”

“Based on the aggregated information, there is no need for a refusal.”

As soon as this thought came out, Tang Qi immediately pinched the black eagle feather, swallowed his magic power, and immediately wrote his name in the blank space.

When the word “Tang Qi” is used, the last stroke is completed.

In an instant, a strong dim light erupted.

Everywhere on the invitation, eagle’s nests, cacti, thorns, demons… all kinds of textures outlined by various symbols burst out at the same time, and they quickly escaped from the invitation with the radiance, turned into real things, moved towards Tang Qi swept over.

At this moment, time and space are reversed.

Tang Qi felt that his body and soul had been pulled into an extremely real and cruel world.

In a trance, Tang Qi looked at himself.

He became a skinny commoner, dressed in old sackcloth robes, with a rusted machete in his hand, surrounded by like him, mostly skinny men, even thinner women, children and old people, everyone They all carried inferior weapons such as sticks, spears, and machetes.

They stood in a mess, their expressions tense, and the fear that could not be dispelled in their eyes.

Behind the crowd, are primitive, dirty homes.

Tang Qi could see the dark sky, the barren land, the dark forest, the stench in the air… Suddenly, the earth began to shake.

The crowd raised their heads, and there were huge and disgusting “monsters” running from all over the place. Among them, there were even “Resent Seeds” that Tang Qi was familiar with. They roared, spit acid and poisonous gas, and charged towards the crowd. Inside the eyes, which are very different from human beings, are greed and thirst for flesh and blood.

The purgatory-like scene was staged, people were howling in the mouths of monsters and exotic races, and ordinary humans were so powerless in the face of the attacks of sharp teeth and giants.

Tang Qi saw himself being eaten by a grudge, and he didn’t have time to feel the pain, and he was in a trance again, and he woke up.

This time, he became a soldier. Wearing a sloppy military uniform, holding an arquebus in his hand and a long knife hanging from his waist, he saw traces of “magic” and “witchcraft” on both weapons, soldiers similar to him, in the plains Formed on top.

The earth began to vibrate again, and monsters rushed in.

Tang Qi killed one ogre monster and buried himself in the mouth of the other giant monster. The pain of the broken waist did not swept away, and the brilliance surged again.

The third time, he became an officer leader, with a dozen subordinates of supernatural beings, and managed a lively and rising human settlement until the civilians he led dug a steaming hot spot from the ground. At the entrance, an “evil thing” with tentacles drilled out from it.

…

When the dark and hazy night once again enveloped the Green Dragon’s Back Lake and covered the secret realm of the island in the heart of the lake, Tang Qi woke up from the “illusion”.

He looked a little silent, looking at the “strange thing” that was condensing in front of him.

This is a badge engraved with elements such as blurred figures, broken swords, arquebuses, thorns, demons, etc. It is not the same as today’s “God’s Grace” gold coins. It is more like the beginning of the federation. The gold coin…”The Glory of the Condor”.

In the past day, Tang Qi seemed to play a role-playing game, he transformed into a civilian, an officer, an adventurer, a pioneer… At the last moment, he even transformed into a person whose name was recorded in the “history book” heroes in .

The army he led has successively defeated monsters, aliens, pirates and plunderers from the Old World.

Tang Qi is very clear that the so-called “test” is essentially an invisible brainwashing. Let the new members participate in the “Battle of Federal State Building”, with various roles, feel the process of establishing this country step by step from the darkness and blood of the Federation, paying countless prices.

He knew, and could even interrupt at any time.

But out of some interest, he took the test seriously.

“A clever trick!”

Tang Qi recalled the process and gave an evaluation at the same time.

At the same moment, the badge finally took shape.

The eyes condensed in the past, and a special picture was generated.

“Strange object: the emblem of the Holy Eagle’s Nest, the symbol of the members of the mysterious organization ‘Holy Eagle’s Nest Club’, with various effects…”

The moment Tang Qi probed the badge, some complicated information poured into his mind one after another.

For the first time, he read the parts of interest.

“The organizational structure of the Holy Eagle’s Nest Club, the highest level is the five-member council, which consists of five vice-speakers, who take turns serving as the speaker.”

“Under the council, there are deacons for each region, and each region has two eagle deacons, including but not limited to recommending new members.”

“Besides, there are positions such as recorder, messenger, artisan, tailor, etc.”

“And within the organization, there are two different teams, the Sword Bearers and the Eagle Masters.”

“The sword bearer is a team dedicated to chasing down the betrayal organization. The leader is alternately held by the two vice-speakers of the five-member council. They have the authority to use the rare items in the ‘Eagle’s Nest’. Any member can apply to join and must pass the assessment.”

“Bachelor Eagle, research institutions, including any subject on the mysterious side, any member can apply to join, and must pass the assessment.”

“Eagle’s Nest, the treasure house within the organization, can provide guarantee, exchange, transaction and other services.”

…

After a while, the dim light fell silent, and Tang Qi opened his eyes again.

Looking at the badge in his hand with a sigh, the Holy Eagle’s Nest is indeed, as he guessed, a loose and mysterious organization, but this looseness is only relative to other “behind the scenes”.

In addition to “basic members”, there are also many positions.

Among them, the team called “Sword Bearers”, a note related to it, made the sense of chilling rise suddenly.

“At the beginning of the establishment of the Federation, several legendary heroes who were dying in the war voluntarily transformed into ‘liches’. Not only did they retain their full strength, but they also added attributes such as immortality, ignoring negative effects, and greatly increasing their physical defense.”

“They will be the weapons of the ‘sword bearer’.”

When this information came out, Tang Qi immediately understood the subtext.

“Any member of the betrayal organization may face the pursuit of at least several ‘legendary’ lich.”

Of course, the so-called betrayal here.

It is difficult for ordinary members to do it. They must meet any conditions such as harming the interests of the federation, murdering members, etc., and they must also go through a show of hands and go through tedious procedures before they can launch a hunt for the betrayers.

Normal superhumans are unlikely to trigger these.

Tang Qi is very interested in “Master Eagle”, and he prefers research institutions. With the history and background of the Holy Eagle’s Nest, it is obvious that they should have a lot of secrets. Any learned scholar should be interested. Come.

“Thinking of it this way, are Raphael and Mrs. Rowling also members of the Holy Eagle’s Nest?”

Tang Qi couldn’t help but have a doubt in his mind.

It goes without saying that Mrs. Rowling, judging from her reputation on the mysterious side and serving as a consultant to more than a dozen powerful organizations, should be very easy to enter the Holy Eagle’s Nest. Maybe it is the five deputy who recommended her jointly. speaker.

Although Raphael seems to be incompetent, he is actually ahead of Tang Qi on the erudite rankings.

He did not continue to think because there would be no results.

“One of the advantages of the Holy Eagle’s Nest Club is that it is difficult to reveal the identity. Except for the recommender and the ‘recorder’, even the five deputy speakers cannot know the identities of the members, and the recorder is actually a The wonder of wisdom, it will not be revealed to anyone.”

“However, in order to maintain this system, there is also a corresponding punishment for recommenders, once a member betrays.”

“First get used to it a few times, and after some familiarity, consider whether to apply to join the ‘Master Eagle’. Before that, I will be a little transparent at the bottom.”

After making up his mind, Tang Qi put away the badge.

Then, Tang Qi got up and prepared to go to the library downstairs.

After a whole day of delay, the thoughts in his mind became more and more urgent. He needed to look up the information related to the Great Cataclysm, the Holy Penitent, the Lord of Thorns, the Head of Rot… He could feel it, and there was probably a huge secret.

And he was passively involved when he received the “Code of Thorns”, no, actually from the day he was the principal of the Meralda Special Education School.

Waiting for an event to happen without any preparation is not his style.

Just when he got up, he suddenly heard a lot of movement on the white sand beach outside the window.

For a moment, Tang Qi looked at the beach where the emerald green lake water and the night mist beat together and shrouded him, but saw more than a dozen familiar figures, urging two taller figures to move towards the quietly docked “Seer”. Queen Rano”.

Those who were urged were the former legendary knight Nicholas, and the pilot of the Queen, “Storm Blessed” Mr. Eric Hartman.

The dozen or so figures were the children of Xue Yi and Nidia. There were not a few members of the Extraordinary Combat Class, including the newest “transfer student”, who was also Tang Qi’s only current disciple, Austin.

They could still vaguely hear the childish voice, which was passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

“Hurry up, Mr. Eric, we’re running out of time.”

“That’s right, we finally persuaded Professor Eva to issue this collective mission, and we can’t delay it any longer.”

“Mr. Nicholas, if you must follow, please don’t interfere in our actions.”

“The chaotic, evil freaks of Lake St. Martin are about to have a baptism.”

Hearing this, Tang Qi understood.

These students specially applied to Eva for a collective mission, the people of the extraordinary practical class, and set off at the same time to fight in Mihuang City, in addition to the Green Dragon’s Back Lake, another large number of strange gathering places.

In the Green Dragon’s Back Lake, because of the existence of Tang Qi, the headmaster of the witch school, it is already a place of order. Even the evil and weird with a little wisdom will not risk being burned to stay, and collectively relocated to Lake St. Martin .

Eva approves the mission and also sends Nicholas to oversee the battle.

Well, I’m afraid he is also a part-time “leader”. After all, Nicholas has been hanging out at Lake St. Martin for a long time.

And with Eva’s wisdom, in addition to Nicholas, other insurance methods must have been arranged.

Tang Qi glanced at it, not worried at all, and turned around to continue walking down.

At this moment, several voices came:

“This time, we have to verify our strength.”

“Mr. Principal, he… needs our help.”

Tang Qi was startled when he heard the last sentence, from Noah the Sleeper.

He looked at the young man he met at the beginning of his arrival. It was only a few months apart. His once immature face now showed signs of maturity. He said the words to help Tang Qi in a very firm tone. The rest of the students looked the same.

After being stunned for a moment, the corner of Tang Qi’s mouth couldn’t help but evoke a bright and happy arc.

A special, heart-warming feeling surged up.

For the first time, Tang Qi turned around and walked to the third floor of the Book Tower with a relaxed and proud look.

Behind him, the glutton showed a funny face, winked for a second of silence for the freaks of Lake St. Martin, and then waved the buckle to keep up with the owner.
