Chapter 347
Led by a Shadow Club guard, Cheng Yu walked into the castle of Shadow Club headquarters.
This castle is quite large, with many rooms and intricate corridors. People who are not familiar with the road may get lost. The walls of the corridors are painted with exquisite oil paintings.
Members of the Shadow Club passed through the corridor in groups of three or two, each wearing an Abyss Ring on their fingers.
The Abyss Ring is a symbol of the identity of Shadow Club members.
Generally, the Abyss Rings of Shadow Club members are black, and the Abyss Rings of the heads of the major main city branches are purple-red.
Compared with the black Abyss Ring, the purple-red Abyss Ring has a more powerful ability.
The Shadow Club guard in front smiled and said, "Master Cheng Yu, I will take you to see the head of the club first. The head of the club really wants to see you."
Cheng Yu asked casually, "Want to see me? How much do you want to see me?"
"I want to see you in my dreams. The head of the club has been sending people to find you." The guard smiled.
Cheng Yu was puzzled. Even if he taught the Shadow Society the technique of making sesame bread, the Shadow Society leader would not want to see him so much.
Except that the Shadow Society leader was a pervert.
The Shadow Society guard glanced at Cheng Yu's hands and saw that Cheng Yu was not wearing the Yuan Ring on his fingers. He reminded him, "By the way, Master Cheng Yu, remember to wear the Yuan Ring when you meet the leader."
Cheng Yu took out his purple-red Yuan Ring and put it on the middle finger of his right hand.
The Shadow Society guard saw the purple-red Yuan Ring on Cheng Yu's middle finger, "Our Yuan Rings are all worn on the ring fingers. Why does Master Cheng Yu wear it on the middle finger?"
"Uh... It shows respect when showing it to others."
As he said that, Cheng Yu raised his middle finger to the Shadow Society guard.
"Really?"
Looking at Cheng Yu's raised middle finger, the Shadow Society guard had an inexplicable urge to beat Cheng Yu up, but reason told him that he couldn't do anything to Cheng Yu.
The guard took Cheng Yu along the spiral escalator to the upper level of the castle, holding back his uncomfortable emotions.
The two walked to the third floor of the castle, and the guard knocked on the door of the conference room, "Master, Master Cheng Yu is here."
"Come in."
An old man's voice came from the room, with a hint of enthusiasm in his tone.
The Shadow Society guard pushed open the door of the conference room and let Cheng Yu in.
The interior of the conference room was luxuriously decorated, with soft red carpets on the floor, and the furniture and lighting were neatly arranged and spotless. There were more than a dozen half-length oil paintings of beautiful women hanging on the wall.
An old man with white hair and beard sat at the desk. He was of medium build, his eyes bulged out like a toad, his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked to be in his seventies.
Next to the white-haired old man stood a blond middle-aged man, tall and burly, wearing a silk robe, holding a golden magic wand in his hand.
Seeing Cheng Yu coming, the white-haired old man smiled without hiding his joy, "I am Chris Yanori, the leader of the Shadow Society. Hello, Cheng Yu."
"Hello."
Cheng Yu greeted politely, but he was not interested in this old man who looked like a toad.
The purpose of his coming here was the Shadow Trial and the rewards of the Shadow Trial.
"Your skill in baking sesame bread is very good. The bread you bake is soft and delicious, and it is very popular. It helps our Shadow Society solve the big problem of funding."
Chris said excitedly, "Why are those bastards in the Church of Light more powerful than our Shadow Society? Isn't it because they have the support of the imperial royal family and the nobles? If our Shadow Society has money, it will not develop worse than the Church of Light!"
With an excited tone, Chris seemed to have seen the day when the Shadow Society conquered the Church of Light.
"Doing my best to serve the Shadow Society is what I should do."
Cheng Yu swore his loyalty to the Shadow Society to win Chris's trust.
"Very good, very good, young and promising."
Chris nodded with satisfaction, and admired Cheng Yu very much.
"Head, why does the Church of Light target our Shadow Society?"
Cheng Yu remembered that the Goddess of Light and the God of Shadow were sisters, and they had a good relationship, but the Church of Light and the Shadow Society were like fire and water.
Speaking of this, Chris was very angry, "Our Shadow Society just had a little more assassins and killed a little more people, but the Church of Light labeled it a heretical cult. It's really hateful."
The members of the Shadow Society have the Abyss Ring, which can be temporarily integrated into the shadow. It can be said that each person is an assassin.
"..."
Cheng Yu was speechless.
"In order to defeat the evil Church of Light, our Shadow Society needs more money, a lot of money."
Chris looked at Cheng Yu with a burning gaze, "Cheng Yu, besides baking sesame bread, can you make other delicacies?"
Having tasted the sweetness of making money by selling sesame bread, Chris has been sending people to find Cheng Yu, hoping to get more food making methods from Cheng Yu and make more money.
Only with money can the Shadow Society grow and develop.
Cheng YuI finally understood why the guard said that the leader wanted to see him in his dreams. It turned out that he coveted his secret recipe for making delicious food. He spread his hands and said, "No, I can only make sesame bread."
"That's a pity."
Chris was a little disappointed, as if he had been poured with a bucket of cold water.
At this time, the blond middle-aged man next to him said to Chris, "Master, if you want to divine the information of this generation of the Holy Lady of Light, I need more information."
"The birthday, age, hobbies, and various glorious deeds of this generation of the Holy Lady of Light... are all provided to you, but you still can't divine it?"
"I have no clue at all. This generation of the Holy Lady of Light is very mysterious." The blond man frowned.
"It's really strange. This has never happened before."
Chris was also confused.
"Who is this?"
Cheng Yu looked at the blond man and asked Chris.
Chris introduced, "This is Jeffrey, our fortune teller from the Shadow Society, who is responsible for predicting the whereabouts of the Holy Lady of Light so that we can assassinate her."
"Haha, hello."
Cheng Yu twitched his lips, smiling with his face but not his heart.
The top leaders of the Holy See of Light played it very abstractly.
The appearance, age, and various glorious deeds of the female Holy Lady of Light that was presented to the public were all fabricated by the Holy See of Light. There is no such person in the world. In short, she cannot be selected.
"No matter what means are used, the Holy Lady of Light must be killed!" Chris said viciously.
The Holy Lady of Light is the image spokesperson of the Holy See of Light. Killing the Holy Lady of Light can greatly undermine the prestige of the Holy See of Light in the hearts of the people of the Black Sun Empire.
"Yes, Master, I will continue to think of ways."
The fortune teller named Jeffrey left the conference room in a sonorous tone.
Only Cheng Yu and Chris were left in the conference room.
Chris pointed at the oil paintings of women on the wall, "Cheng Yu, do you know who these paintings are?"
"Who?"
Chris said proudly, "Every time I kill a Saint of Light, I will frame her paintings and hang them in the conference room as a souvenir."
"Are these the former Saints of Light?"
Cheng Yu was a little surprised. He walked to the wall and looked at the paintings of the Saints of Light on the wall. They were all top-notch beauties.
Unfortunately, this Saint of Light is a virtual character and cannot be selected. Even if the king of heaven comes, he cannot kill her.
