Lear stared at the hyena that was crawling on the ground without any bottom line, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

There is no contempt in my heart. When I cannot control my own destiny, how many people are willing to be so humble?

Only people like this can perhaps live longer.

He turned to look at Kalanis.

"It's your choice."

He will not stay in Loran City for a long time, and it would be more appropriate for her to select the team that will take charge of the Faceless Hermitage.

Calanis's eyes were deep.

"Sir, then choose him first. He is more familiar with the Faceless Order. Besides, he has no bottom line and can do anything."

As long as the dog is kept on a leash, it can help its owner share his worries.

Lear nodded.

"You could enslave him and make him completely obedient to you?"

Kalanis pondered for a moment and shook her head.

"No, but I can leave a tyrannical force in his mind. As long as he has any evil thoughts towards me, I can directly destroy his soul."

Oh?
Could the power of divine power be so different?
Lear's eyes moved slightly.

The swamp godhead is different. He can directly enslave the target and make it completely submit. This is a transformation from the soul.

This was the first time he discussed this kind of power with others.

"Any other feelings?"

"No, my control over the Godhead is currently in a very primitive state and requires further study."

"If I find anything, I will report it to you immediately."

Lear nodded and said no more.

He glanced at the hyena on the ground who was becoming more and more excited.

"You should know what to do."

The hyena raised his head sharply, speaking in a frantic tone.

"I am a dog of Majesty Calanis. If anyone dares to disrespect my master, I will tear his throat with my teeth!"

What's wrong with being a dog?!
And I am serving as a dog for such a big shot!!

How many people beg for it but can’t get it!!
Lear said no more, and the rest was up to Calanis to control.

After thinking for a moment, he continued.

"The Faceless Hermitage is the most complex underground force in Loran City, with many worshippers of the evil god."

"The tyrannical power you control now is the key to breaking the impasse."

Karanis’ biggest trump card right now is not her own fighting ability.

But it is the part of the evil god's power that he possesses.

This will be a dimensionality reduction attack on the worshippers of evil gods. If he were to do it, it wouldn't take long for him to have a legion of fanatical believers.

With Calanis's wisdom, if she is willing to humble herself and do it, it won't be a bad thing.

But the other party is most likely unable to let go of his inner persistence. This is his shortcoming, but also his shining advantage. Otherwise, he will not be able to tame power. Therefore, it is very important to arrange a few people like hyenas who have no bottom line.

Many powerful people like to keep some cunning and vicious people under their command so that they can handle those things that are shameful and will bring them a bad reputation.

Just like the ancient emperors kept eunuchs.

Seeing that Calanis seemed to be thinking about something, Lear continued.

"Enslave one group, win over another group, unite another group, and wipe out another group. You are a god from the abyss, and no one can stop your will."

"The Faceless Hermitage will be completely ruled by tyranny."

"Don't worry about the impact on the surface. I have found a strong backup for you."

"If you encounter something urgent and unmanageable, you can go to the Changge family."

Although he had not had much contact with this Grand Duke family, he had already established enough connections with them.

Their life and death depend on him.

He doesn't need to say anything, the huge network of contacts he maintains will naturally protect the power he keeps in Loran City.

On the surface, the White Crow Chamber of Commerce already has its angel investors to rely on, and does not need outside interference.

The power in the dark is more complex and elusive, and it is not suitable for Philena to intervene.

The Changge family would be happy to establish a deeper friendship with him, and even completely bind the interests of both parties together.

Even if it's something shady like running a business together.

But this is based on the assumption that Calanis encounters an urgent and unmanageable situation.

If it is not necessary, this move is best performed in secret.

When the hyena heard this, he lowered his head deeply.

The Changge family? The Grand Duke's family?
The gratitude and joy in my heart reached its peak at this moment.

This is the honor of being a dog for a big shot.

Normally, how could a rubbish like him come into contact with such a force? !

Praise Your Majesty!!
Calanis looked at Lear deeply, her eyes full of heat.

Although I don’t understand why a hidden giant like the Changge Family would listen to Li Er.

But after going through everything during this period of time, she has completely regarded him as her master, and even as the god of her faith!
The trust in him cannot be increased.

"As you wish, my lord!"

Lear looked at the hyena.

"Give me a brief introduction to the Priory of the Faceless, focusing on who is the strongest, what forces and factions there are, and who we need to be most careful of."

The hyena perked up and responded immediately.

"Your Majesty, the most powerful person in the Priory is the president, Grace, who has reached level 18, a great knight-level existence, and was also supported by the Tulip family."

"Inside the monastery, the highest authority is the Council of Elders, which is responsible for deciding all matters, big or small. The Council of Elders has 17 seats."

"Three of the seats are controlled by the Tulip Family, and the remaining 3 are scattered and occupied by various evil god sects. The most powerful of them are the followers of the God of Tyranny, who hold two seats. Their bishop level is also as high as 14th level."

Through the hyena's narration, Lear gained an intuitive understanding of this underground force that gathered a large number of evil god worshippers.

In general, the Faceless Hermitage is extremely powerful, with as many as 18 at level 5 alone!
The president occupies one position, and the remaining four are leaders of various evil cults.

There are 17 elder seats, 3 are occupied by the Tulip Family, 12 are occupied by the believers of the God of Tyranny, and the other 12 are distributed among evil god sects.

It is an eternal wonder that one force can gather more than a dozen evil cults.

One can imagine how chaotic it is inside and how fierce the struggle is.

No wonder the Tulip Family cannot completely control the Faceless Hermitage. It would be difficult for anyone else to do so.

Those who believe in evil gods are not good people in the first place, and you still want to tame them? Dream on!

And if you want to completely control this force, it obviously takes a lot of effort.

But when Karanis heard the rest, a strong fighting spirit rose in her heart.

"My Lord, I will definitely bring the Faceless Hermitage into your territory!"

“No one can stop you!”

The tone is firm and confident.

If I can't even do this, how can I accept such a generous reward from you? !

Lear smiled happily.

"Tell me if you need any support."

"First, control the hyena, and then discuss the specific strategy with him in detail. You can start by subduing some of the weaker forces on the edge. Once you have your own team, you can start your work."

All the members of the Faceless Men are worshippers of the evil god, and Calanis is the real evil god.

What kind of bullshit evil god should you believe in? If you want to believe in anything, you should believe in the tyrannical god, Kalanis! !
"As for the Dragon Breath Mercenaries, I will purchase a group of slaves as a new team later."

"In the future, you can select people from the monastic order to join, and I will also transfer personnel from the City of Wisdom."

“We also need to have a force on the surface that is sufficiently deterrent.”

Light and dark bloom together, walking on two legs.

The city of Wei Lu is located deep in the wilderness, isolated from the world. This can bring safety from external interference, but it will also limit its own development.

He needed to convert the output of the territory into resources, and the forces in Luolan City could serve as a monetization role. At the same time, he could also use these forces to continuously absorb nutrients from the outside world and provide support for the territory.

After an in-depth communication, Lear did not stay long and turned away.

What to do next depends on the actions of Kalanis and the hyena that was just leashed.

This arrangement is also a touchstone.

If Calanis fails to complete this task, he will abandon this plan and transfer her back to the City of Wittenberg, and make her the vanguard of the army in the future.

Just take charge of the battle.

If this can be accomplished, she will be trained to become the underground queen of Loran City and control greater power.

The biggest benefit for the other party to stay in Loran City is that she can rely on her own strength to take revenge on the Tulip Family here.

He was also looking forward to seeing how this girl, who could seize power from a tyrannical monarch, would shine in this dark world.

He had a vague feeling that perhaps Kalanis would give him a huge surprise.

After leaving Dragon's Breath Manor, Lear was in a very good mood.

Today, the intelligence system's prompts allowed him to plant a far-reaching hidden chess piece, which opened up an additional path.

At the same time, it also gave Kalanis unlimited potential.

The only thing to worry about is the movements of the tyrannical monarch.

He placed Karanis in Loran City for this reason as well.

Even if that evil god wants to attack her, there will be big guys in Loran City who will come out to fight him.

From the mouths of wandering poets, one can often hear legends about demons invading and being driven back by the concerted efforts of human heroes.

This is not a myth, but history that has been recorded time and again in history books.

The rules of the main plane protect ordinary people.

On the way, when passing a rather dilapidated street, Lear suddenly seemed to think of something and looked at Brando beside him.

"Tell the driver to go to the ninth block."

Brando hadn't entered the house just now, but was standing guard at the door, looking a bit like a lackey.

"Yes, my lord."

Bran became curious upon hearing this. Was the master really from the Ninth District?
What is the place where he lives like?

What kind of environment can cultivate a person like an adult?
Lear watched the street scene outside the carriage receding, his eyes somewhat subtle.

After leaving the slums, he never went back.

The only thing worth missing is his neighbor Uncle Jem, who took good care of him after he traveled through time.

Not only him, but also his original self before traveling through time also enjoyed a lot of care from the other party.

Without the other party, the original body might have died long ago.

One body owes two favors.

After getting funding from Philena, he asked the waiter of the Rose Hotel to deliver two gold coins and a message that he was safe.

In the slums, too much money is not a good thing, and two gold coins are the limit.

But this time when I came back, things were completely different.

We can arrange a less busy job for Uncle Jim. The White Crow Chamber of Commerce is short of people, and his age is the golden age for being a security guard.

Although he has not taken fewer detours than those young people who become five-star generals at the age of 20, it is not too late.

The wheels turned and made a unique sound when pressing on the bluestone slabs.

More than an hour later, the carriage stopped on a shabby street.

The Ninth Block is a general term for an area consisting of a main street and hundreds of crisscrossing alleys.

There are more than 100,000 poor people living there.

Beggars, civilians, fugitives, foreigners, slaves, worshippers of evil gods... almost all kinds of inferior people gathered here.

Fresh corpses can be seen appearing in the stinking sewers every day, a paradise for evil and criminals.

The main street outside was quite busy, with a constant flow of carriages, but no one noticed Lear and his party.

After getting off the carriage, Lear felt everything around him was a little strange yet very familiar. Relying on his body's memory, he shuttled through the streets.

After twists and turns, we entered a narrow alley that could only accommodate two or three people walking side by side.

The ground was filled with filthy black water and all kinds of garbage and excrement were piled everywhere.

When someone passed by, swarms of flies would fly up with a buzz, and then land skillfully when the person passed by.

It is challenging to get started.

Brando's face was twisted by the stench and tears kept flowing from his eyes.

I didn't walk far before I lay down against the wall and started retching.
Lear did not laugh at the other party when he saw this. When he first came, his reaction was much more exaggerated than this.

A thought came to my mind.

A thin mist, barely visible to the naked eye, enveloped the surroundings, driving away the stench.

This made Brando feel better.

But the visual impact on his eyes also made him feel nauseous from time to time.

Along the way, no fool dared to stop or provoke him. The young man's majestic aura made passers-by avoid him from a distance.

Those who really couldn't avoid it would press their bodies against the wall, for fear of angering such a big shot.

In the slums, these people live more discerningly.

After walking forward for about ten minutes, Lear finally saw the cottage where he had lived for a few days and his original self had lived for several years.

With a complicated mood, he pushed open the half-open door and stepped into the room.

Looking up, the small house was empty, without any furniture or decoration.

The surrounding walls are exposed, and you can see the walls made of mud and hardwood.

Black moss grew in some leaking places.

There was a calf-high bed in the corner of the wall, and the blackened bedding was covered with a thick layer of dust.

And there are obvious signs of having been tampered with.

Apparently even places like this have been visited by thieves.
Brando looked at the suffocating house and living environment and said in a trembling voice.

"Sir, is this the house you lived in before?"

Lear nodded slowly.

"Yes."

"It was also here that I received the document to become a pioneer lord."

Brando felt a great shock.

Looking at Lear's shockingly young but increasingly majestic figure, I felt sincere admiration and respect.

How could he come out of such a place and still be able to work hard to be in all of this?!
It is the luckiest thing in his life that he can follow such a person! !
Praise the goddess!!! Praise the adults!!!

At this moment, a surprised voice came from the door.

"Who's in there? Is it Lear the Kid who's back?!"

His tone became a little excited, and then the footsteps suddenly became louder.

The next moment, a thin, gray-haired middle-aged man appeared at the door frame.

A rough, calloused hand pressed against the door frame and poked its head inside.

His eyes quickly passed over Brando, and the moment he saw Lear, his excited expression froze.

Wearing a blood-red crown, a black cloak, with deep eyes and majestic aura, the figure is full of the aura of a superior. There is an unbridgeable gap between him and the ragged boy.

He raised his hand tremblingly, then put it down, his eyes showing surprise, then surprise, and finally becoming cautious.

"Hey, sir, are you Lear?"

Lear looked at the familiar face and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Uncle Jim, I'm back."

In an instant, the middle-aged man standing at the threshold had red eyes and a sour nose.

"I thought it was good for you to come back, it's good for you to come back!!" (End of this chapter)
