Chapter 3: middleman

The specific establishment time of the Iron Commandment can no longer be verified. Its predecessor dates back to the holy city of Jerusalem at the beginning of the twelfth century. The earliest members were only nine. The original purpose was to protect pilgrims from all over Europe from robbers. .
By the end of the twelfth century, the size of the organization was unprecedented, with more than 9,000 properties in Europe, including many well-known churches and castles; tens of thousands of members, who could tax the people or plunder them directly Even the nobles of the time were very generous and generously donated gold and silver; they stood on the kingship and directly obeyed the Pope, which was the most powerful religious military force in Europe at that time-the Templars.
But this over-inflated power and wealth also became a thorn that eventually pierced the heart of this organization.
France, Friday, October 13, 1307, Black Friday. The days of the Templar's death.
A savvy king is enough to do this. The reason is simple. At that time, the rulers of any country could hardly endure an organization with thousands of castles and huge wealth in its own kingdom. Impossible to dye.
Twenty-seven years later, the remnants of the Cavaliers were exiled across Europe, and most of the members had died in interrogation or were tortured. And their last chief, Molay, cursed the then bishop and king on the torture stand: within a year, the two would die in "eternal judgment."
Less than a year later, the Pope and King died one after the other, the cause of death was violent illness, and the bizarre death during hunting.
All these grievances seem to have ended, but the Templar's Tinder has never gone out.
It is rumored that Morley had secretly passed his post to his nephew, the young Earl, before Black Friday, and asked him to swear before God that in order to save the Knights Templar in the future, he would save some treasures to the "end of the world" ". The treasures were hidden in the tomb pillars of the former commander, and were later smuggled out by the "pure architect" organization controlled by the count, and moved elsewhere, only through a set of mysterious symbols and secret religions owned by the Templars. The ceremony can be found and retrieved again.
Until seven centuries later, no one could crack the secrets of those symbols, and the treasure became a historical mystery.
In 2000, the era when the Empire unified the planet began.
In the chaotic age originally set in the world, countless resistance organizations appeared and were ruthlessly destroyed. Only a few of them were hidden in the dark to survive, and one of them was the iron commandment.
They are the heritage of the Templars. They merged and rewritten the teachings of Catholicism and Orthodox Church, and established their own Holy See and law. The leader of the regiment serves as the pope, inheriting faith and the soul of the army.
Today, the rule of the empire has lasted for a century. The steel commandment is already the largest resistance organization on the planet. It is one of the few organizations that can fight the empire's military forces on the front battlefield, and it exists in Europe like the Second Dynasty. Even trying to eradicate them is useless, because people can kill, but faith cannot kill.
So HL's European branch is also the largest in the world, and its overall combat power is second only to the headquarters of Tiandu.
的 No one who dares to prosecute the iron commandments who walks in the dark world, everyone knows that once they form a beam with them, they will be chased to the ends of the earth in the name of trial until they reach their goal.
However, blood 枭 will not consider similar issues. For him, steel commandments, HL, no matter what position the person fell into his hands, are experimental materials.
No matter how much he looks like a professional thug or a swimmer, Xueyi is an out-of-the-box scientist. In fact, he has an Ivy League degree. Although he studied there using someone else ’s identity, he was an imposter student. And his family has become experimental.
For many years, Xueying has been pursuing a method of "healing" himself. At the current stage, there are two methods to achieve this ultimate goal. First, his research is successful; second, humanity in the world is perishing.
Therefore, no matter from which perspective, the blood pupa is steadily advancing toward the ideal.
After dealing with the last senior priest, he spent half a day searching for this underground reflection city of steel precepts, confirmed that there were no survivors, and then began the design and layout work.
This underground labyrinth is composed of passages and rooms. Each passage looks the same. There are thick metal walls on all sides. There is a light-emitting lamp overhead extending parallel to the passage. Walking in any of them, it is difficult to feel the same. Different elsewhere. The rooms will only appear on the ground floor of some landmark buildings, except that they are more spacious than the aisles and there are more illuminated lighting channels on the ceiling. There are no extra features. The size and interior of each room are exactly the same. The rectangle, which can hold about forty people, without any tables, chairs or objects, is an empty iron box. Like the passageway, even if you stand inside, you cannot tell which room you are in.
This design can well prevent external invasion, because as long as outsiders enter these channels, they can't even confirm their own position, and they will soon be surrounded and captured by members of the Iron Commandment.
Through these rooms and passages, you can quickly move below the city, take a short time to reach the designated location, and disappear from the ground at any time through the secret entrance. This underground maze is the most common when the members of the steel commandments of Venice pass messages and escape from hunting. Powerful hardware. Today, it has fallen into the hands of the blood. This place made him very satisfied. He had been yearning for a place where he could put enough experimental equipment and not be disturbed by his enthusiastic neighbors. The depth of two meters and the shoal sand of nearly twenty meters, even if he was at The sound of the concert below will not be transmitted to the ground.
And the most exciting thing is that the threat of the senior priest before his death indicates that the other party will send more powerful members to destroy himself. Will there be strong people? Xue Yan looked forward to it.
Speaking of ability levels, no one knows when this set of evaluation levels began to spread, and it seems to have existed in that mysterious world unknown to ordinary people since ancient times.
In the era of that country's numerous times, governments of various countries concealed the existence of groups of superpowers, transformers, mutants, etc., and cultivated them as their own weapons. In this era of reunification, the empire has never exposed this power to the general public. However, they have formulated a more standardized system to do more accurate grading.
In fact, this system is very simple. From paper level to level, you only need to refer to two kinds of data, "time" and "quantity". For example, a paper-level person can kill twenty ordinary people in one hour, then a grading person can kill two hundred people in one hour, or it only takes ten minutes to kill twenty people. .
This assumption is based on the true premise that those people will resist or run away. The shorter the time and the larger the number, the higher the level. Killing one million people in one second is naturally God. Of course, the significance of level determination is that it must be done with its own power, and people such as bomber pilots naturally cannot be counted.
In the system used by the empire to evaluate, "time" can roughly represent the highest destructive power, so those who are better in terms of time generally tend to be aggressive; and "quantity" represents the ability's continuous destruction Ability and own survivability.
Of course, sometimes there are accidents in this set, such as transforming people. Generally, those who have this ability do not have special abilities. They rely on weaponized bodies to fight. Although it can meet the requirements from the level assessment, if a pair of When encountering superpowers of the same level, especially those with offensive abilities, the one who loses must be a transformer.
However, on the whole, this system is more accurate, and it is broadly applicable to all humans on this planet, because so far, there have not been several figures on the earth that have reached the level of "God", superpowers His poor life often stops at the strong level, and those who can reach the fourth level of "fierce" are considered peerless masters.
He Xueye is such a master, and he is only in his early thirties, and there is a possibility of further improvement. All he needed was more prey and experiments ...
正 At noon on the second day of the murder in the Copper Parrot Bar, the blood pupa appeared in Venice again, and he walked on the road so swayingly, without any worries that the rather eye-catching image would attract the attention of passersby.
In fact, this phenomenon is very strange. The more afraid the criminal who is arrested, the more it will emit a kind of gas field, but a person like blood pupa can disappear into the sea, even if someone looks at him more, It's just because of his tall image.
People can't imagine that a murderer who had just committed a murder in public last night dared to walk on the street casually. This is consistent with the common sense inertial thinking.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, at a restaurant, the blood wontons sat in front of the fresh fish and shrimp and crabs for two, and even Tiramisu ordered two.
Soon after, an Asian man wearing small round sunglasses and an old long ponytail came into the restaurant. The man was squirrel-eyed, sneaky, and covered his chin and face with the collar of a trench coat standing upright. After optimistic about all possible escape routes, he looked at every man and woman in sight and determined that there was no note, and he sat across from the blood.
"Mr. Chirios, it's me." As he asked the question, his eyes were still sweeping around.
Xu Xueyi replied: "I also ordered a meal for you, but because you are late, I ate yours too."
"I'm only five minutes late, and you eat all the desserts, but the dishes here are served one by one ..."
"No bullshit, have I got everything I want?"
"Hey ... listen, man, after I left the bar last night, what you did is going to make a big splash in the city. Maybe the police have found out that I talked to you through surveillance video, and now I am in trouble in……"
Xue 枭 interrupted the other party: "Mr. Zuo Dao, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Do you want to increase the price?
Zuo Dao wanted to increase the price. He wanted to come before Xueyi asked this question, but at this moment, with the eyes of the other side, Zuo Dao immediately persuaded: "Dare to dare ... I'm not a middleman. It's been two days, and it has always been word of mouth ... "
"Your Excellency is very famous. You don't have to explain anything. Tell me when things will arrive."
The eyeballs under the sunglasses on the left turn around twice: "Your painting has found a buyer, a private collector, a royal family, the background is hard enough, dare to buy anything, and pay within two days. Wait for his money to me On the account, according to what I said before, I will sell 10% of the net profit, and the remaining 90% will buy the equipment you want. I will contact the sellers on the black market. The medical instruments will arrive on the same day and the chemicals will be easy to handle. That is, torture tools are more difficult to use. They have to go to other cities for adults ... Um ... I mean, the suppliers get some goods from them. As for the computer equipment, it is a bit more expensive to get them in stock.
As for the last money left, you said that you had to wash the cash. This poor way has helped you and several nearby big brothers. They said that you have to pump 15% of the money to wash it. No discussion, will you? No, I'll give you the account directly. "
Xiu Xun didn't think much about it. After sweeping the last bit of food on the plate, he stood up and said, "Three days later, I came here to meet."
On the left, looking across the window, Xueya gradually lost sight. Then, he looked around, put the two banknotes into his arms with lightning speed, and then cleared his throat: "waiter, pay the bill!" He said aside As I came out of my wallet, a heavily indebted credit card ...
