Chapter 317 To Dream
Lord Ivan is a veteran nobleman of the Immortal City. He is now 80 years old. As an older generation who once assisted the first emperor, although he no longer holds any position, he still has a high prestige among all the nobles and even the entire Immortal City. .

In recent months, it is not a secret that foreign forces have appeared on the snowfield. Lord Ivan also often talked about these news with people he knew well. on the lips.

Some people regard this as the wisdom of the older generation who deeply agrees, while others think that he has lost his courage because he is old, and thinks that no matter how strong the external forces are, it is impossible to defeat the giant cannons on the city wall.

That night, as usual, Duke Ivan drank a glass of Northland One-Eyed Bear's bile water, undressed and prepared to rest under the service of his servants, but suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if someone was secretly watching him.

This feeling made him unable to stand up from the bed, glanced around, and even went to the window to look out, but found nothing.

He shook his head, laughing to himself when he became paranoid.

Going back to bed and lying down again, I fell into a dream as soon as I touched the pillow.

In the hazy mist, he saw a figure, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt familiar. Finally, he remembered who it was, and tears rolled down his cheeks in an instant.

"His Majesty!"

He bent over tremblingly, he hadn't felt so light in decades.

And the His Majesty he was talking about was not the Emperor Simon III who is now emptied by the Upper Council, but his grandfather, the first Emperor Simon I of the Immortal City.

"Ivan, my friend, how many years have we not seen each other?"

The emperor seemed to be smiling, but he couldn't see it clearly in the dream.

"Your Majesty, forty-five years."

Not only the sound, but Lord Ivan's beard was shaking. For some reason, he clearly realized that he was dreaming at this time, but he couldn't wake up for a long time.

Simon I's voice is very gentle, he only becomes as cold as steel when facing Warcraft.

"I don't have much time, so I can only make a long story short. Recently, there is a conspiracy brewing in Immortal City, which is related to the peace of the city and even the entire snow field."

Lord Ivan straightened his waist, and his eyes burst out with a majestic aura that had not been seen for many years. He was also the pillar of the Immortal City. The servant of the dragon who followed Simon I to establish a political power was not an idler.

"What do you mean?" he asked respectfully.

The mist on Simon I's face became deeper, and his tone gradually became ethereal.

"I have no way to say it myself, I just hope that at the critical moment, you can make the right choice."

After speaking, his figure began to gradually disappear.

"No, Your Majesty, please wait, I don't understand, what should I do?"

"You are old, but you are not confused. Think with the wisdom of your youth."

The dream suddenly shattered.

Lord Ivan opened his eyes suddenly, his forehead was covered with sweat, he didn't move, he stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, thinking about the recent sudden changes in the situation, thinking slowly in his heart.

What is the right choice?
There is no one on the street in the middle of the night, there is a lack of light, and the road cannot be seen clearly.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in the corner of the alley.

"hiss--"

Xu Ling gasped for several breaths of cold air, then glanced at the note in his hand, and burned it to ashes.

Implanting illusions in other people's consciousness is not something that can be done by just relying on imagination.Today's dream simulation is based on a series of investigations and discussions among all members of the mission, and is presented in a scene that best suits Lord Ivan's way of thinking. Only in this way can he successfully guide his thinking.

What seems to be only a few minutes of fragments is actually built by dozens of people, and Xu Ling is only responsible for presenting them.

Since there are many details and dialogues in the illusion, he is required to control it very precisely, so the consumption of mental strength and energy is very large.

"You have to take credit for it when you go back."

Xu Ling was walking towards the hotel while thinking about it. On the way, he met a police officer who was watching the night. He slipped into the windwalk and passed by the two of them.

The patrolmen, who were only interested in fishing and chatting, did not realize that they had just passed by a member of the foreign mission.

Back at the hotel, Zhu Taran directly stopped him and asked, "How is it?"

Xu Ling nodded: "No problem, his reaction is consistent with the three preset plans, which is a relatively perfect situation."

"That's good. I've worked hard these few days. How many times is this?"

"The eighth one is almost half done."

"Well, our people have scouted. Sergey hasn't been idle recently. He's going around to visit nobles who are in power. He always brings a God's Chosen who is not bad, and he has no chance to get close to eavesdropping."

It's a pity that Zhu Taran doesn't know how to stealth skills, otherwise, he will eavesdrop, no matter who is in this city, no matter how powerful, it is impossible to find him.

"Ah."

Xu Ling nodded, "It's a pity that those God's Chosen who hold important positions are not weak, and I can't use illusion to control them, otherwise things will go much smoother."

Zhu Taran patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, our hard power is here. The preparation in advance is just to make complete preparations when the information is not complete. If it is really not good, even if he flips the table, he may not be able to handle it."

Xu Ling nodded, and said in a very innocent and unaffected manner: "I hope the organization can remember my achievements. It would be better if there are more special approvals."

"Don't worry, you are indispensable."

Zhu Taran directly retracted the hand that was on his shoulder, and said with a look of disgust.

However, he could not deny that it was a very correct choice to bring Xu Ling on this mission. There were many high-level combat forces originally incorporated into the mission to ensure combat power, but most of them are good at frontal combat, and auxiliary abilities such as stealth It's not strong, or even non-existent, let alone an illusion that doesn't even appear in the exercise book.

The existence of Xu Ling saved the mission a lot of effort. Contacting Simon III and subtly influencing the people in the city are critical responsibilities, and they all fall on him. If things really develop as speculated, this It is a great achievement.

While Sergey and Xu Ling took turns visiting missions that had a certain influence in the Immortal City, the negotiations between the mission and the upper council were also proceeding simultaneously.

It's just that as time went by, both sides gradually discovered that no one seemed to care about the conditions and results when negotiating. Not many people care about the dispensable terms.

A few days later, the missions were discussing countermeasures in the room on a daily basis. In fact, due to the special situation and potential enemies around, everyone gathered at Zhu Taran almost all the time except when eating, sleeping and going out to perform tasks. There are too many things to discuss and discuss in the room.

"There are a total of 12 powerful nobles who may be loyal to the royal family. Seven of them have been influenced by illusion. The remaining few are either high-level God's Chosen or have powerful guards around them. I can't get close."

The last time Xu Ling reported, if he had "visited" all the asterisked ones on the list.

"There are enough of them. These people are all holding important positions in the Immortal City. If our analysis plays a role when necessary, the possibility of success of the plan will be much higher."

Chu Xiaojun thought he was blaming himself for not affecting all the targets.

Xu Ling nodded: "Then you remember, sir, you will have to approve my declaration of military merit when the time comes."

The scrupulous Chu Xiaojun couldn't have expected that he was just speaking out to find witnesses, so he couldn't help being very speechless.

At this time, the door of the room was knocked suddenly.

"General Zhu, hello, Master Sergei has prepared a banquet, and I sincerely invite you to attend, this is the invitation letter."

Zhu Taran sent him away, opened the invitation letter and took a look.

"Snow Wolf Mansion, 23 Wali Street?"

He immediately remembered where the place was.

On the west side of the city, the three world-killing cannons can accurately cover the position.
