Bleach Stronger by AFK Chapter 251: Origin
, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Death God who hangs up can become stronger!
From the two people in front of him, Lin Lichuan felt the powerful aura that belonged to the knights, which was not weaker than the Yao Qian brothers.
It is rumored that there are seven people in the Black Flame Council. In addition to the speaker, there are a total of six members.
"If all the congressmen have this kind of strength, plus Sue, who is the Knight of the Bright Moon, then this power will be very terrifying." Lin Lichuan looked at the two people in front of him, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
I am afraid that only the Qianyuan Business Alliance and the Tania Empire in the southern part of the continent have the extraordinary power to surpass this kind of lineup.
"Welcome, Lord Zanpoku."
While he was thinking, the two congressmen in front of him suddenly spoke up, breaking his thoughts.
"Please go this way, the Speaker is already waiting for you inside."
For Lin Lichuan, the two congressmen seemed quite respectful and showed a certain degree of respect.
Although Lin Lichuan is only a district leader and is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Black Flame Council, he has proven his strength by killing Moreira. The strong in Black Flame Island are respected, and those with powerful power No matter where you go, you should be treated with the necessary respect.
"Sorry to bother you two."
Lin Lichuan nodded slightly and led the two men to the castle on the top of Qimai Mountain.
When the tall and magnificent castle with a time-honored simplicity came into view, he could not help but feel a sense of surprise in his eyes.
Noting Lin Lichuan’s gaze, one of the two council members, Salidin, smiled and explained: “This castle has a history of almost a thousand years. It was originally on Qimai Mountain. When he came to settle on Black Flame Island, he accidentally discovered the existence of this ancient castle, and repaired it as a residence. Later, a large number of buildings were built on the mountainside and foot of the mountain, gradually forming today's Black Flame Parliament headquarters. ."
Lin Lichuan suddenly realized, and then his heart suddenly moved.
Thousands of years ago?
Isn’t that when the star disaster happened?
Is this castle related to the Star Catastrophe?
Thinking of the giant stone pillar at the foot of the mountain, Lin Lichuan became more and more curious.
While thinking, the three of them walked through the gate and walked into the depths of the castle. After a while, they stopped in front of a room with a door ajar. Another congressman named Rob pointed to the door and said:
"We're here, Lord Zanpoku, the Speaker is inside."
Lin Lichuan nodded, stepped forward, opened the door and entered, while Salidin and Rob stayed outside.
The room was a study room. When Lin Lichuan stepped inside, he first saw Sue sitting on a wicker chair behind the desk with a thin blanket covering his knees.
This old man looks ordinary, but no matter where he is, he has a feeling that people cannot ignore.
"Please have a seat."
Su E smiled at Lin Lichuan, patted his knee, and sighed:
"As people get older, their body bones are not as strong as they used to be. If they do a little exercise, they will feel very tired. They are far inferior to you young people."
"These words coming from the mouth of the majestic Knight of the Bright Moon are not very convincing." Lin Lichuan found a chair and sat down at random, looking up at Sue.
Hearing this, the latter shook his head and laughed, and said slowly: "I suffered a very serious injury more than 20 years ago. Although I survived by luck, I still have sequelae that have not been cured to this day and I cannot survive. Fighting for time, even using only part of your strength, will cause the injury to recur."
Lin Lichuan was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembering the scene of Sue coughing violently after killing Moreira who turned into a corpse yesterday, and felt slightly enlightened.
However, he still had some doubts in his heart, and looked at Sue with a twinkling look: "Why do you want to tell me this?"
If this matter is true, it is undoubtedly a vital secret. Telling everything to a stranger like him is not a wise approach. Sue obviously will not be Such a reckless person.
Sue understood what Lin Lichuan meant and smiled when he heard the words: "Indeed, but it is related to the transaction I am going to talk about next. In order to make the transaction go more smoothly, I think both parties to the transaction should be more honest with each other. It will be better."
This statement was barely acceptable. Lin Lichuan nodded gently and looked at Sue quietly, waiting for his next words.
"Do you know why the Black Flame Council has not allowed a unified force to appear on Black Flame Island?" Sue asked a question that surprised him.
"...Is it because of external pressure?"
This question is also something that Lin Lichuan has been wondering about. Since a long time ago, he has been strongly confused by the Black Flame Council's approach. Originally, he wanted to wait until he and Seireitei had enough Strength, let's start the investigation again, but I didn't expect that Sue would bring it up at this time.
After a pause, he added, "There are many extraordinary people on Black Flame Island. If all the extraordinary forces on the island are unified, there will undoubtedly be an extremely huge force. I am afraid even Qianyuan The Business Alliance and the Tanya Empire will not sit idly by."
Su'er waited patiently for Lin Lichuan to finish, then smiled and nodded: "You are mostly right. It is indeed due to external pressure, but it is not exactly what you imagined."
Lin Lichuan cast a questioning look at him.
"The unified Black Flame Island will certainly make the Qianyuan Business Alliance and the Tania Empire fearful, but unless the Black Flame Island truly poses a substantial threat to the two countries, they will not take action against the Black Flame Island. After all, the unified Black Flame Island has a power that even they have to face up to. Otherwise, if there is a conflict, even if they can defeat the Black Flame Island, they will have to pay a heavy price."
"In other words, Black Flame Island poses some kind of substantial threat to Qianyuan Business Alliance and Tania Empire?" Lin Lichuan heard Sue's hidden meaning.
But what surprised him even more was that, according to Sue, the current situation on Black Flame Island seemed to be caused by the joint pressure of the Qianyuan Business Alliance and the Tanya Empire. However, the two countries were in conflict. The difference in the relationship between them is well known to everyone, and it is really hard to imagine that they would join forces to deal with Black Flame Island.
"That's right." Sue glanced at Lin Lichuan appreciatively. It was easier to talk to smart people.
"What threat?" Lin Lichuan asked. If the unified power of Black Flame Island could not be considered a substantial threat, then he couldn't figure out what else could.
After hearing this, Sue asked without answering: "Do you know who the current emperor of the Tania Empire is?"
"Marco Tania." Lin Lichuan was a little confused as to why Sue asked, but he answered immediately.
Sue nodded and said slowly: "Before Marco Tania succeeded the emperor, he was the thirteenth prince of the empire. At that time, he was ranked among the many princes in the empire in terms of succession and power. Not counting the front ranks, according to the situation at the time, there was no possibility of winning the throne of emperor."
Lin Lichuan's expression changed and he looked like he was listening quietly without interrupting.
"Later, the battle for the throne intensified, but the situation gradually became clear. The faction headed by the first prince had the upper hand, and victory was almost within reach. But at this time, the previous emperor suddenly died of illness, which hit many princes. The great nobles were caught off guard, but it also pushed the battle for the throne to a climax. The first prince defeated the other competitors with a vigorous offensive, and just when he was about to win, Marco suddenly emerged."
"He colluded with people from the Qianyuan Business Alliance, and used some unknown means to win over Broker, who was the head of the Royal Legion at the time and is now the Marquis of the Empire. He took advantage of the situation and suddenly launched an attack, hitting the first place in one fell swoop. The prince's faction killed the first prince and then seized the throne."
Hearing this, Lin Lichuan couldn't help but look surprised: "Even if it is for the throne, colluding with the Qianyuan Business Alliance is not a clean method, right? The nobles of the empire just sit back and ignore it?"
Suer said suddenly: "At that time, the business alliance between the Empire and Qianyuan had not developed into such a turbulent situation. Furthermore, although it was a collusion, Markle controlled this aspect very well and did not He did not cross the bottom line and borrow troops from the Qianyuan Business Alliance, or seek help at the cost of dividing the country. Instead, he reached a deal with the Qianyuan Business Alliance at another price that would not harm the interests of the empire. Although the method was not very bright, it was not It caused a backlash from the domestic nobility."
Lin Lichuan was slightly silent. The battle for the throne was extremely cruel. There was basically no other end for the loser except death. Therefore, the competitors frequently resorted to various methods and used all possible means. Even in the history of the previous life, they attracted foreign enemies. There are countless examples of people who invaded the country and used the power of foreign enemies to seize the throne at the expense of dividing the country. Marco's approach is not that uncommon.
Winning is king and defeating bandits, only victory is the only goal, and everything else must fall back.
Sue continued: "I have to say that Marco's methods are indeed very good. The Qianyuan Business Alliance sent six knights to work for him, including a Knight of the Bright Moon, plus Bu Rocker, the knight of the shining moon, suddenly had a huge increase in power, coupled with the unexpected rise of his army, he became the final winner."
Knight of the Moon?
Lin Lichuan was astonished. The Knight of the Bright Moon was almost at the top of the pyramid in the extraordinary world. It could be said that it was the same as a combined weapon from all countries. The Qianyuan Business Alliance was actually willing to send a Knight of the Bright Moon to assist Marco?
What kind of deal did they make in private?
Seemingly guessing Lin’s doubts about Lin’s position, Sue then said slowly: “In fact, to be precise, it was not the Qianyuan Business Alliance that reached an agreement with Marco, but the Zhou family within the alliance. ~IndoMTL .com~The Zhou family, one of the four major families?" Lin Lichuan was slightly startled, then quickly reacted.
"That's right." Sue nodded lightly, "In fact, more than 20 years ago, there were not only four but five elder families of the Qianyuan Business Alliance. The other one was the Yao family, which was also known as the five major families at the time. Family."
"Among the five elder families, the Zhou family and the Yao family have the worst relationship, with frequent conflicts. As a reward for helping Marco win the throne, Marco then devoted all his efforts to helping the Zhou family defeat the Yao family and successfully annexed the Yao family. Most of the wealth and resources of the family have caused the Yao family to decline, and they have since withdrawn from the ranks of the elder families and become a second-rate family, while the Zhou family has become the most powerful elder family in the alliance."
Hearing this, Lin Lichuan seemed to have thought of something. His expression couldn't help but he asked tentatively: "Yao Qian, Yao Bing and the Yao family..."
Su E nodded calmly: "You are right, the two brothers are from the Yao family. After the failure in the struggle with the Zhou family, they were expelled from the Qianyuan Business Alliance and finally came to Black Flame Island. ”
"The same is true for me. I was originally a member of the First Prince's faction. After losing the struggle for the throne, I was also expelled from the Tania Empire."
