Vol 2 Chapter 279: Black cat

After a few days.
night.
Back room.
This is a dark and depressed room, buried deep in the ground to avoid being noticed. In the middle of the chamber, there is a long black table with a silver candlestick, and a few candles are inserted in the candlestick. The candle was lit, and the candlelight was burning steadily, like a dying person who was breathless, and the entire dark room looked very dim.
In the dim light, there were more than ten high-back leather chairs around the table in the middle of the back room, and less than half of the high-back leather chairs were seated with people. One of them was sitting at one end of the long table, and five others were sitting on either side. Each of them was wearing a thick robe, hiding his face in the hood, and appeared extremely cautious. Some kind of discussion was in progress.
The person sitting at the end of the long table seemed to be slightly higher in identity, and as the first speaker, the voice spoke to the rest of the people with a calm voice: "You guys, please tell me the latest situation."
After the first speaker uttered, there was a long silence-a weird and suffocating silence, as if all the people in the secret room disappeared in an instant.
It took a long time before a second speaker broke this silence and coughed slightly, his voice slightly hoarse: "I’ll talk about it first. Well, I’m okay over there, one member has sacrificed, but There are also three new recruits, one of whom is very good and has the potential to be nurtured. Well, that's it."
After the second speaker finished speaking, the Chamber of Secrets fell silent again.
After waiting for a long time, the third speaker made a loud voice: "The situation on my side is terrible, and the members have lost four. One of them has cultivated the backbone for many years. There are new seeds, but they are all During the inspection, it has not been determined whether to absorb it."
silence.
The fourth speaker said: "My side is neither good nor bad. A new member has been absorbed, and an old member has also died. End."
silence.
The fifth speaker said: "I have no dead people or new people there as before."
After the fifth speaker finished speaking, the silence reappeared, and this time it has not been broken for a long time.
In the end, the five people who had spoken looked at the last person who insisted on not speaking.
The first speaker asked with a unique calm voice: "Catherine, are you not going to talk about it?"
"Oh." The sixth speaker finally spoke, a woman's voice, with a bit of meanness in her voice, "Do I still need to speak? The situation, don't you all already know? A traitor, I was almost exposed. If it were not handled in time, I might not be here.
I don’t want to say more about the loss. Anyway, if you don’t support me, then I can retire.
Speaking of which, in fact, there is nothing bad about it. After all, what we have been doing has not been the pensioner. Hidden in the ground like a mole, hiding himself in fear, not daring to expose it, lest it be noticed. Take something that is impossible to achieve as a goal, and hope that a miracle will happen that day. Ah. "
After the woman finished speaking, there was a silence, and the first speaker spoke slowly: "Catherine, it looks like you are complaining."
"Is it just me who has a complaint?" The sixth speaker woman asked, "I want to ask everyone here, for so long, I have been implementing the so-called rules of avoiding the world, waiting hopelessly, I don't think there is What is wrong?
This traitor incident has made me understand. If you continue this way, it will definitely be a dead end. Even if you are not killed by someone outside, you have to be killed by someone inside you. "
"Catherine, I know that this traitor's thing made you very angry." The first speaker said, the voice remained calm, without much emotional fluctuations, "but there are some things that cannot be changed casually. The reason why it was originally formulated The rule of avoiding the world is because our strength is weak. If it is discovered by the rest of the wizarding organizations, it is likely to be united to wipe us out, then we have no hope at all.
And now, although our strength has become stronger than before with the development, it is still somewhat uncomfortable compared to the rest of the wizarding organizations. Not to mention anything else, we are not opponents just by the White Stone Tower Wizard Society.
So we need to continue to forbear, continue to accumulate strength, wait until the time is right, wait to unlock the secret that the great existence left us, and get his treasure, we have enough strength to tell the rest of our existence. At that time, it will be able to appear in this world with fairness and grandness, and restore the glory of the previous great existence. "
"I understand the truth." The harsh female voice sounded, "But the question is, how long does it take?"
"Long for a long time," the first speaker said, "too long to be the day when each of us can't see the realization. Because of this, in addition to the rules of avoiding the world, our second rule is patience and no exposure. For our own, so that our parliament can last for a long time. Therefore, we will give severe punishment to any traitor who tries to expose our parliament."
"Severe punishment? How severe? Kill him?" the female voice asked, as if she didn't believe it. "This time the traitor is different. He is a student of the master. Really kill him, the master will disagree."
"You're wrong." Katrin, "we treat all traitors equally, even master students."
"I?"
"If you don't believe it, we can go to trial now." The first speaker said.
"This is the best." female voice.
"Then let's get started," the first speaker said, and suddenly the candlelight on the table became bright, dispelling the darkness in the chamber and illuminating the corner of the chamber.
In the corner, I saw a man strapped to a chair, unable to move. Several silver needles engraved with magic lines penetrate into the body, disrupting any mana operation and preventing the release of the spell.
The blood-stained face of the person bound to the chair can't see the real face, but it gives a very young feeling. At this time, his eyes are staring at the sitting around the long table. Six people~EbookFREE.me~ eyes full of anger and hatred, trying to open the mouth to say something, but the mouth seems to be sewed to death by invisible forces, can't be opened.
The woman of the sixth speaker looked at it and said, "Has the banned spell been used?"
"Well, after all he is too noisy," the first speaker said, "but now he is tried, and according to the rules, he has the right to defend himself."
The first speaker said something. With a wave of his hand, the air swelled slightly, and the person who was bound to the chair suddenly opened his mouth, and then shouted loudly: "Damn, you bastards, let me go! Otherwise, when my teacher knows what you did to me, you all have to die!"
The first speaker looked at the person tied to the chair and slowly said, "Keli, are you still unclear? What you do, even your teacher, will not save you."
"What have I done?"
"Leaks reveal the existence of Parliament."
"Nonsense, I don't have it!" The man tied to the chair argued loudly, "This is all framed by you, I didn't do it at all!"
"Crack! Bastard! If you didn't do it, how did my men die?" The sixth-speaker woman snapped the table violently.
"I..." The tone of the person tied to the chair was weak, but the next moment was back to normal, shouting, "I don't know! Your men are dead, it has nothing to do with me! You are framing me, you want to Just start with my teacher! I warn you, if you dare to hurt me, my teacher will know, I will not spare you! Let me go, let me see the teacher!"
"Shut up, Kelly!" Suddenly a majestic voice rang out, and an elderly man in a black robe stepped into the chamber, holding a black cat with smooth hair in his arms.
