Yi Yue Luxi climbed the stairs and walked through this familiar place which she had not been to for several months.
She came to the quiet room where her grandmother had been in seclusion for many years, feeling a little nervous.
She knew about her grandmother's situation. Even though she was in the Ranhuo Mall, she was always paying attention to the situation in her hometown and exchanging letters with her grandmother. It was just that the other tower masters were not aware of this.
Since hiring two top mercenary groups, the crisis of the Blackrock Alliance was immediately resolved, and her grandmother, the first tower master, finally no longer had to stand on the front line.
Therefore, although grandma's condition is not optimistic, it is not as bad as before she took the longevity fruit last year.
What she was worried about was whether she could convince her grandmother.
Even though she used her own talent to turn one into three and worked three jobs at the same time, earning a lot of contribution points and exchanging them for precious treasures such as 'Longevity Fruit', 'Purifying Tea', 'Water of Life', etc., she knew that these treasures were not enough to cure her grandmother.
There is no treasure that can eradicate severe pollution and erosion.
The effect of the longevity fruit when used for the second time was far less than the first time.
unless……
...
...
She pushed the door open.
…
Although the Blackstone Alliance is a large oasis-level organization, it has only been in operation for a few decades, and the time it took to be promoted to a large oasis is even shorter. The architectural style of the entire oasis is very simple, with black tones as the main color, and the tallest tower is even more so.
The entire tower seemed to be built with huge black stones, with few open windows. The tower was gloomy and dark. Ms. Alex, the master of the first tower who was in charge of the heart of the oasis, was hiding in this gloomy and dark environment.
She had gotten used to this kind of environment. It was easier to block out external interference in the dim light, allowing people to focus on the work in front of them. After the pollution erosion intensified, the leader of Elux Tower even found that she had symptoms of photophobia, which was obviously some side effects brought about by the pollution erosion.
She would hide in this dark, enclosed room more often.
However, compared to the worry she had a year ago when her life was about to end, the First Tower Master was not desperate at this moment. This was because she had an extremely outstanding granddaughter who not only sought reinforcements in times of crisis and saved the Black Stone Alliance from collapse, but also saved her from death and advanced to the Sixth Awakening!
Her granddaughter Yi Yueluxi was already at the top of the mortal world, enough to secure the position of the first tower master and lead the Black Stone Alliance to continue. In this way, even if she died of exhaustion immediately, she would have no regrets.
"You're back."
The old first tower master smiled a kind smile that was ferocious and terrifying to outsiders. At this moment, the door was open, and a little light came in from outside. Ms. Elukes was sitting upright, half of her body was hidden in the darkness, and the other half was exposed in the dim light, like a demon poking out of the darkness. You could clearly see the blood vessels wriggling and the scarlet scars on her wrinkled face.
Seeing her granddaughter taking out precious treasures one after another from the storage device, which were emitting a faint halo, the old woman was very surprised. She recognized the treasures such as the "Longevity Fruit" and the "Pure Heart Tea", and was shocked and worried at the same time.
She remembered what her granddaughter said, that she wanted to work in the Burning Mall and buy some medicines, but she never imagined that these medicines were precious treasures comparable in value to legendary materials.
All the high-level treasures of the entire Blackstone Alliance combined may not be worth as much as these treasures!
this……
In just three or four months, my granddaughter was able to earn enough money to buy so many treasures. What kind of job is she doing?
The old woman wanted to say something but stopped herself. She opened her mouth but ultimately let out a sigh.
She shook her head. "I know my physical condition very well. Let's not waste these treasures. Exchange them for resources that the alliance needs more."
"These treasures can't cure it, but... there is still something that can cure it... that is..."
Yi Yue Luxi seemed to be hesitant to speak, and she opened her mouth but kept staring at the shell.
It's not that she doesn't want to say it, she just can't say it.
The contract clearly stipulates that relevant secrets cannot be disclosed to people outside the organization. Inheritance, mentors, awakening, eradication of pollution... these are all top secrets.
There was obviously a way, but she just couldn't say it directly, so she could only hint to her grandmother in a roundabout way. This made Yi Yue Luxi so anxious that she stamped her feet and smoke was almost coming out of her head.
"Birth, aging, illness and death are the normal course of human life. Grandma has lived a very wonderful life. Now, as long as I hand the Blackstone Alliance over to you, there will be no regrets."
"No...but, there is still..."
Yi Yue Luxi scratched her scalp violently, making her beautiful silver hair messy. After turning around a few times, she decided to just give up.
"Grandma, here is a contract. I can't say anything more than that. I can only say that signing this contract will be of great benefit to you... I really can't explain more, ow!"
Yi Yue Luxi looked at her grandmother with her bright eyes.
She was a little nervous. Old people like her grandmother were often very stubborn, but she couldn't think of a more appropriate solution.
Of course, it's not completely impossible. If she waits until she advances to myth, her persuasiveness will go up several levels, and it will be much easier to convince grandma. However, she only advanced to the sixth awakening three months ago, and it is impossible for her to awaken to myth in a short period of time. She doesn't want to delay it any longer!
After saying that, to Yi Yue Luxi's surprise, her grandmother didn't even look at the contents of the contract. She bit her thumb and pressed down the bloody fingerprint heavily.
Yi Yue Luxi: “???”
"Grandma has experienced so many ups and downs in her life. Moreover, now that she is not afraid of death, how can she be afraid of the contract document given by her granddaughter?"
The old woman grinned a kind but sinister smile.
She felt that her granddaughter must have paid a lot for the treasures in front of her, and if she could reduce some of the costs by signing the contract, it would be worth it. Now, even if it meant selling her soul, the old woman had nothing to fear.
Lord Eluxta smiled and was about to say something.
Suddenly, a stream of information flooded into her mind. The wrinkled old woman was stunned and her dirty eyes widened immediately.
"this……!!!"
This is not a contract to sell one's soul, but a very serious and solemn certificate of membership.
The credentials to enter the "Xinhuo" organization!
The name "Xinhuo" was not unfamiliar to Tower Master Eluxita. She had heard it many times from her granddaughter. Her own Blackstone Alliance had even had in-depth cooperation with the Blue Star Alliance led by Xinhuo.
An organization that rose from the outside world Blue Star can produce such a high-level contract document?
While she was lost in thought, Yi Yue Luxi began to introduce and explain.
No longer hesitating or getting stuck in the middle of a sentence, Lord Eluxta heard the "new version" of the torch from his granddaughter's mouth.
It is more legendary and mythical than the Blue Star version of the Xinhuo Organization!
"The Burning Chamber of Commerce is actually a subordinate force founded by the Xinhuo Organization?"
"You were on a mission in Xinhuo before, so you were able to earn enough money to buy many rare treasures in just a few months?"
"Not only that, there is also a chance to remove the filth and even advance to the level of a legend?"
Looking at her granddaughter who kept nodding, Lord Eluxta came back to her senses from the shock. She began to think, and after thinking for a while, she shook her head.
Yi Yue Luxi: “?”
As she was wondering, she heard her grandmother say, "Granddaughter, you are too naive, or rather, you have too little experience."
"The Burning Chamber of Commerce may indeed be a newly created force of the Xinhuo Organization, but Xinhuo... cannot be an organization that originated on Blue Star. What you have seen is obviously just the tip of the Xinhuo iceberg."
Tower Master Eluxita founded the Blackstone Alliance and has experienced many storms and seen many sceneries. Even though she is unable to step into a higher circle due to her own lack of strength, she can understand what these conveniences provided by the Xinhuo Organization mean.
Means mysterious!
It means great power!
It means, unfathomable!
Obviously, Xinhuo is a mysterious organization that is spread all over the strange world, with countless powerful people and unpredictable power! She even guessed that only myths exist and have a certain voice in the organization. Then, based on her own identity, she guessed that the helmsmen of many large oases and even super oases are actually secretly members of the Xinhuo organization?
Thinking of this, Lord Eluxita couldn't help but take a breath.
She seemed to see a giant hand covering the sky, constantly placing pieces in various places in the strange world, and finally forming a vast and indescribable chess game. She was terrified and shocked.
Thinking about it again, the purpose of the Xinhuo Organization is to eradicate disasters and fight against evil gods, and she became more certain of her guess.
After all, how could it be possible that a great mysterious organization that dared to fight against the indescribable evil god had only been in existence for a few years in the Blue Star world?
It doesn't take much thinking to know that this is impossible.
Blue Star is just one of the layouts of the Xinhuo organization, but it may be a very important one.
Looking at her still somewhat confused granddaughter, Lord Eluxta sighed, but regained her will to live - her granddaughter still needed more tempering, and seeing the profound power of the Xinhuo Organization, she found that she also had the possibility of surviving and going further.
She said, "You have to understand that the organization is unspeakable, but since the organization has not made it clear to you, there is no need for us to guess blindly. We just need to do our part."
The old woman smiled again. "Now that I think about it, granddaughter, you are indeed very lucky. You discovered Blue Star very early and established a relationship with Blue Star. Now, you have been selected by the Xinhuo Organization. Just as fate has revealed, you are a girl favored by heaven."
"Grandma will not give up her will to live, but the future is still yours."
Yi Yue Luxi scratched her head. She caught some highlights. "A revelation from fate?"
"You have an extremely high talent. According to Xinhuo's description, you are born with a legendary talent, a girl of destiny. Not only that, but when you were born, some mysterious things happened."
Lord Eluxta spoke slowly.
Yi Yue Luxi was born in the middle of the night. When she was born, the entire bedroom was filled with bright moonlight, covering her small figure, as if celebrating or baptizing her.
Not only that, a crescent-shaped stone surprisingly appeared on the body of the newborn baby Yi Yue Luxi.
Now that I think about it, Yi Yue Luxi is indeed a person favored by heaven.
"Grandma, are you talking about the Yue Stone that I have been wearing around my neck?"
Yi Yue Luxi reached out her hand from her collar and took out a crescent-shaped necklace. She thought for a moment and put it back.
Never mind, I’ll just keep working and become stronger.
…
…
Elsewhere in the Falling Star Domain, at the Great Oasis of Sword Flower City, a situation similar to that of the Black Stone Alliance was taking place at this moment.
In the Sword Academy conference room, most of the fifth and sixth level awakened senior executives in the Oasis have arrived and taken their seats one by one.
Times have changed. Medesa, who was promoted to the Sixth Awakening several months ago, is now the second-in-command of Rose Academy and has been awarded the title of Honorary Dean of Rose Academy.
In this conference hall, Medesa's seat was quite near the front, just behind the three deans.
However, she had no awareness of herself and still regarded herself as a young junior. She felt a little uneasy sitting in the front seat. She looked left and right and saw that the old man, the dean of the Sword School, had spoken in the main seat.
"Today's meeting has two things to say."
"First, our Sword Flower City's development plan for the next few years."
"Second, regarding the Great Domain Summit to be held in Falling Star City."
"These two things are actually one thing. Everyone can speak freely about them."
After Dean Jian finished speaking, a vice-dean who was in charge of the affairs of the Great Oasis spoke.
"After counting the losses in this evil tide, we have suffered the following losses in property and personnel: ... In addition, we also had to pay a large sum of money to hire the Longtao Mercenary Group. The financial situation of our Sword Flower City will not be optimistic in the next ten years."
But compared with the previously gloomy Blackrock Alliance, the losses of Sword Flower City were certainly not small, but still within the tolerable range.
After all, the City of Sword Flower already had six sixth-level awakeners before this, and its defense facilities, oasis foundation, etc. were much stronger than the Blackstone Alliance.
But even so, the senior executives present frowned when they thought about the huge hiring fees that would have to be spent in the next ten years or so.
Many parts of the oasis need to be rebuilt and the city walls need to be repaired, and there are still large expenses now. They will be in a very tight financial situation for a long time to come.
Of course, it is impossible for them to deny the debt. They have already signed a contract with the Longtao Mercenary Group. Moreover, this transaction is supervised by the Ranhuo Chamber of Commerce. They would not and dare not have such thoughts.
"In the coming period, the salaries of Oasis officials will be reduced by 30%. I hope you can understand."
Dean Jian looked around and saw many people frowning and looking sad, but no one raised any objections. He nodded and continued, "Of course, given our current situation, it is not enough to just cut costs. We have to find a way to increase revenue, otherwise, our Oasis will gradually go downhill."
Given the situation in Jianhua City, if one only wants to meet the most basic "living conditions", it is naturally more than enough.
However, if there are not enough resources to train a new generation, the overall combat power of the Sword Flower City is likely to decline instead of rise. The overall environment of the Ghost Realm is so dangerous that a decline in overall combat power means a weakened ability to resist risks, which is something that no visionary person can tolerate.
But how to open source?
Now that they have just experienced the disaster of the evil tide, many strong men in the Sword Flower City have been injured. It has become difficult to go out to explore for resources. Daily income has already decreased, so how can they increase it?
"It's not impossible. We can probably guess why Falling Star City suddenly held a summit. Besides, there is also the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce. There may be some opportunities there. If we can seize the opportunity, our Sword Flower City may be able to recover the losses or even make further progress."
As they spoke, one senior executive after another looked towards Dean Jian.
There are three deans in Jianhua City, but this one is the strongest in Jianhua and the helmsman of Jianhua Oasis.
However, the Dean of Swords obviously had not made up his mind at this moment. He glanced around and finally landed on...Metisa.
"Little Metis, what do you think?"
“Eh???”
…
Medesa did not express any opinions at the meeting, but Dean Rose could see that her student seemed hesitant to speak.
After a while, the two sat together, and the graceful Dean Rose said, "You are now a top-level Sixth Sense expert. You should act like a strong person and be more confident. You are fully qualified to make suggestions."
Although the dean said so, but...
Mei Disha still didn't have much of the aura of a strong person. It was because Liu Jue was really not a strong person! In the Xinhuo organization, Liu Jue was not everywhere, but... it was almost the same.
She is still used to being a soldier and obeying the orders of her superiors.
However, seeing her dean saying this, and this time in private, she considered it and said, "Master Dean, right now it is Falling Star City that is secretly fighting with the Burning Chamber of Commerce? If we have to take sides, then I...then I suggest standing on the side of the Burning Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh? Tell me more about it."
"Specifically..." She scratched her head. It was hard to explain clearly. She could only say what she could. "Some time ago, I stayed in the Burning Fire Mall for a while. I found that the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce was very extraordinary, and... and the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce was more friendly to external forces and could provide us with more opportunities."
Dean Rose hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay. You can be more straightforward. I knew long ago that you have a special relationship with the Burning Chamber of Commerce... Hehe, don't be nervous. Everyone has their own preferences. This is normal, just like how Old Man Jian prefers the Falling Star City."
"In fact, for a large oasis like ours, as long as the conditions are right, it is not shameful to belong to a super oasis. It can even be said to be normal."
"Because, if you belong to the Super Oasis, it is the Super Oasis's responsibility to provide you with shelter... and in the strange world, nothing is more important than safety."
"There are two duke-level nobles in the Falling Star City. They were the two great oasis forces that moved closer to the Falling Star City back then."
What Dean Rose didn't say was that their Sword Flower City also wanted to join the Falling Star City in the early days, but the other party didn't want it.
Of course, times have changed, and now the status of the Falling Star City is challenged. Their Sword Flower City is much stronger than it was in the early days. If they submit to the Falling Star City, they can use this as a condition to gain a lot of benefits for themselves while retaining a greater degree of autonomy.
This can be seen in the Broken Sea, where all the superpowers are subordinate to the four overlords.
"So, what Old Man Jian is struggling with is whether the Oasis should remain as it is, or move closer to the Falling Star City, or move closer to the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce, or formally submit to it."
"Because this frenzy has scared a lot of people, there are actually quite a few voices in the city that support the move closer. Of course, there are also many opposing voices."
Metissa fell into deep thought.
She said she needed to think about it. Half a day later, Metissa applied for a "contract document" and took it to find her dean and briefly explained the situation.
Soon, the three deans reunited.
Looking at the document in Rose's hand, which was "vague" and "the specific content can only be read during the contract process", Dean Zhan Ge frowned slightly.
But before he could speak, Dean Jian said, "This contract contains very mysterious rules, and since it comes from the Burning Chamber of Commerce, I think we can take a gamble."
If you win the bet, everything will be happy.
If you lose the bet, it's just...
Dean Rose is also a decisive person. She looked carefully at the part of the contract text that was currently visible on the document, and then looked at Medesa for a while.
She reached out and pressed hard.
In an instant, the lady's eyes widened, and the door to a new world suddenly opened in front of her.
