Chapter 95 Going up the mountain (asking for monthly tickets!)
Exposure to another completely different world?
Byrne was slightly stunned. He had no idea what Best meant by "a completely different world". Was he going to take him to the spirit world?
Best waved his hand casually, and the servants around him immediately retreated in an orderly manner. Most of the servants of the Lion Family had served them for several generations and were loyal and well-trained.
Best slowly got up from the sofa, walked to a floor-length mirror in the room, and began to mutter to himself.
Soon, all kinds of strange lights appeared in the floor-length mirror, as if there was an extremely strange psychedelic effect. An irresistible obsession suddenly emerged in Byrne's mind, and it took him a long time to get rid of it.
He found himself standing in front of a mirror without knowing when, and what appeared in the mirror was not his own figure, but a vast expanse of snow-white color, as if it were a blanket of snow.
Mirror?
Suddenly, Byrne had a creepy feeling!
Because he remembered that when Mr. Jin died, there were a lot of broken mirrors on the ground, and the two subsequent supporters of the Lion Family died in exactly the same scene!
If Viscount Best wanted to kill me just now, I would have been lured to the mirror and died now!
Byrne felt that he was very calm and his expression did not reveal his inner thoughts.
But he still heard Best nodding his head expressionlessly and saying calmly:
"Your guess is absolutely correct. I was indeed the one who killed Mr. Jin myself."
Byrne was silent, not knowing how to answer, and could only listen to Best continue talking.
The middle-aged man said in a very cold voice:
"He was the one who betrayed me and my family first. The other two were also betrayers of the Lion. To others, it seemed that the people of the Lion family had been in trouble one after another, but only the Eagle family knew exactly what was going on."
"I understand. The betrayer deserves to die. Lord Viscount Bester, you did nothing wrong."
Byrne nodded, speaking with all his heart.
In fact, if he were in his place, he would never be able to forgive a traitor, let alone someone who betrayed his family.
But deep down he was also a little upset.
Although he didn't know how Mr. Jin viewed him, Byrne regarded him as half a friend. He never expected that Mr. Jin would end up being treated as a traitor and be eliminated.
"Come on, follow me up the mountain."
Best didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, and suddenly took out a pure white mask from the ring on his hand and handed it to Byrne.
"Go up the mountain?"
After getting it in his hand, the puzzled Byrne felt the part that touched his skin and immediately felt that its material was very similar to the masks made by alchemy used by the Alchemy Council, which also had the "concealment" effect.
However, it is very different from the Dark Gold Mask of the Alchemy Council. This is a pure white mask and contains stronger magical fluctuations.
There is no doubt that this mask is a more powerful product of alchemy. Byrne was even a little surprised by its perfection. He felt that there were no flaws from every angle.
Even if it is sold as a pure work of art, it will definitely be worth a lot of money. Its designer must be a perfectionist.
Best didn't say anything else. He put on a pure white mask and entered the mirror.
His figure disappeared in an instant.
After seeing this scene, Byrne recalled the wall that could only be passed through by wearing a mask. He took a deep breath, then put on a pure white mask and walked towards the mirror in front of him.
He believed that if Viscount Best wanted to harm him, he would not need to use any means at all, so he did not need to worry too much.
In an instant, everything around him changed, and Byrne seemed to have come to a completely different new world.
The next moment, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak!
Countless towering peaks rise into the clouds, covered with crystal clear white snow. They seem to be connected to the sky and separated from the ground.
Standing at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, Byrne felt a solemn and lofty feeling of awe in his heart. The snow-covered mountains stretched toward the sky like crystal clear jade, like an infinitely distant stairway to heaven.
On the top of the white snow mountain, there is a towering palace that is completely white. The light from the sky is reflected on the top of the palace, and it seems as sacred and pure as the burning fire of the soul.
"Go up the mountain." said Viscount Best.
Byrne followed the Viscount in shock, slowly climbing the white and holy snow mountain. He thought it would take a long time to walk, but suddenly found that they reached the top of the almost endless and difficult to climb snow mountain in just a few minutes.
What is going on?
He really found it difficult to understand the specific principles behind it. He just felt a huge majesty covering the surrounding area, and he couldn't utter a single word when he opened his mouth.
"You came at such a coincidence, maybe this is what is called fate."
There was some emotion in Viscount Best's tone as he continued to climb the snow-covered stairs to heaven.
The two gradually approached the snow-white sacred palace.
Viscount Bester had always been frivolous and casual, but when he approached the palace, his tone suddenly became extremely solemn and serious.
"This is the real Alchemy Council."
The real Alchemy Council, Byrne silently remembered everything here.
Best continued, "Don't talk nonsense for a while, and don't reveal your true identity, because the Alchemy Council members are not only from all over Siat, but also from other countries in the Four Eastern Countries."
"We will not fight here. If there is fighting or conflict outside, the president will definitely not interfere."
Could it be that even the Rheans have it?
Byrne frowned slightly. He really didn't expect that the real Alchemy Council was actually a secret organization spanning the four eastern countries.
He felt uneasy and extremely puzzled. Why did Viscount Best bring him here?
I just want the Fisher family to become one of the many vassals of the Lion family to hedge against the threat from Viscount Garcia's family. Will every vassal be brought here by Best?
He vaguely felt that this was not the case. In fact, when he first met Viscount Best, the other party showed considerable friendliness, and Viscount Best seemed to have been waiting for his arrival.
Why?
Byrne knew that there must be some reason why Viscount Best took him so seriously.
The two entered the tall and majestic sacred palace, but it was extremely dilapidated inside, with collapsed walls and stone pillars everywhere.
He soon saw a long table in the center of the palace. It was made entirely of some mysterious white metal that he did not recognize at all. It was snow-white in color and looked extremely exquisite.
There were six people sitting around the long white table, wearing different clothes, and each of them had a pure white mask on their face.
Although five of the six people were dressed differently, their seats showed no obvious difference in status. Byrne had noticed that only the person sitting at the top seat was more prominent and unique.
Because of the concealing effect of the pure white mask, Byrne couldn't see his face clearly.
He was dressed in a purple robe, like a ball of pure wisdom in the mist, knowing all the knowledge in the world. It seemed that anyone who came into contact with him and received even a little guidance from him would have their original destiny completely changed.
Before taking his seat, Viscount Best bowed respectfully to the mysterious man at the top and spoke with great respect.
"President, he is the new member I want to introduce to the guild. I paid the price in advance at the last gathering."
His tone was extremely respectful, even servile.
Pay the price in advance?
Byrne was extremely surprised and became more and more confused. That is to say, Viscount Best had wanted to recruit him into the club for a long time. Why was that?
The man sitting at the top nodded slightly and said a word.
"Mithril."
His voice was very cold and sounded devoid of any human emotion.
Viscount Best turned around and said to Byrne:
"Very good. From now on, your code name in the Alchemy Council will be 'Mithril'. Remember it and don't reveal it when you are outside."
He paused for a moment, then added: "My code name is Long Jing, as for them..."
"I'll tell him."
The mysterious man called the president waved his hand slightly, and information suddenly emerged in Byrne's mind. In an instant, he knew the code names of everyone present.
Their code names are all metal minerals with mysterious powers, which are precious materials needed in many alchemy techniques.
"Mithril", "Dragon Crystal", "Time Stone", "Moon River Stone", "Spirit Element", "Star Iron", "Sun Gold".
Byrne was extremely surprised. Information was suddenly instilled into his mind without any warning, making him subconsciously feel in awe of the mysterious president.
What kind of person is he?
Byrne took a deep breath, bowed politely, and said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. President, thank you very much for accepting me."
The president ignored Byrne's polite words. His tone was very calm, without even the slightest emotion: "It's the same as before. You guys communicate first."
The first person to speak in the Alchemy Council was "Sun Gold".
His tone was majestic and powerful, as if it was as heavy as a mountain: "It's been another three years since we last met. It's good. It seems that everyone on the Council is still alive."
Only see each other once in three years?
Byrne found it unbelievable. No wonder Viscount Best kept saying it was a coincidence. It was really too much of a coincidence that he actually encountered this opportunity that only happened once in three years.
He even had a strange and peculiar feeling, as if there was some invisible force secretly pushing him to join the Alchemy Council.
Byrne soon discovered one thing: the tall "Sun Gold" was sitting in the second seat at the bottom. He was most likely the person with the second highest status in the council after the president.
If calculated in this way, Byrne felt that his position was undoubtedly the last, and Viscount Best's position was the second to last.
This discovery simply astonished him. Viscount Best was undoubtedly a big shot who could call the shots on the East Coast. The status of the other members of the Alchemy Council was even higher than his.
Who are those people?
Viscount Best said: "There have been some changes in the Sea God Cult. They will further test the Storm Church. I am afraid that it won't be long before a war breaks out on the East Coast."
Poseidon Cult! War!
Byrne frowned tightly. If Viscount Best's words were true and reliable, the entire East Coast would undoubtedly be the first site of conflict.
"Yueheshi" was wearing a complicated and cumbersome black suit, and his voice sounded like that of a very young male, one could even say that of a teenager.
"There are signs of another civil war among the Rheas. If a civil war breaks out among the Rheas again, they may not be able to fight the Syat people in the next few years."
Every piece of information exchanged by everyone present was very important. Byrne listened silently and did not dare to speak at all. He just felt that he was completely out of place here.
The information from the next person gave him goosebumps all over his body. It was simply creepy.
"Xingtie" is a woman wearing a light blue robe, and she said slowly:
"I wanted intelligence about the followers of the Lost Lord in the four eastern countries three years ago. Do you have any information?"
