From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 379 The real purpose, killing someone with a borrowed knife

Fire Emblem conducted its own internal review, while the managers sent by the state had a special department investigate, and ultimately two management members were replaced.

In fact, Fire Emblem has only been established for a little over a year, and although there have been some problems, they are not too serious.

The reassigned management put in place strict rules to be as disciplined as possible.

As for whether a second fire emblem is needed, Lu Heng is still considering it and it depends on subsequent developments.

The Fire Emblem does have great power in industries such as quenching, but in fact this power comes entirely from Quenching Castle.

Lu Heng is the one who has the qualification to enter the Quenching Fort, so the so-called power of the Fire Emblem has been suppressed from the beginning and will not be infinitely expanded.

In fact, over the past year or so, many chaebols and capital groups have sent people to contact Master Guru.

As Quenching Fort became an alien space building frequently visited by Quenching Masters, Inscription Masters, and Forgers, these chaebols and capital groups had already figured out the situation of Quenching Fort.

Therefore, those chaebols and capital groups all know an important piece of information, that is, Lu Heng is not the owner of Quenching Fort.

The real owner of Quenching Keep is a Dark Iron Dwarf named Gollum.

Lu Heng just has a close relationship with Guru.

In other words, Lu Heng does not have absolute power in Quenching Castle.

If one day, Gollum chooses a new spokesperson, this person will become the new ruler of the quenching industry.

Therefore, over the past year, people have been contacting Gollum, hoping to gain the trust of this Dark Iron Dwarf.

However, all attempts failed.

No matter whether it is money, wealth, or any other exchange of interests, nothing can make Gollum change his mind.

In fact.

Gollum did not refuse to communicate with these people, and his request was very simple. He hoped that humans could help the Dark Iron Dwarves in the abyss world.

As long as the psychic helps the Dark Iron Dwarves in the Abyss World, he will receive corresponding rewards from Gollum, including reputation with the Tempering Fort, favorability, or other physical rewards.

However, this requirement is quite difficult for ordinary psychics.

If you want to replace Lu Heng, how far do you have to go?
Lu Heng once saved the Darkville Black Iron Tribe on the Lava Plains and helped them retake Blackrock City.

In the world of Dragonsleep, he helped the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom prevent the revival of the Firelord Groth. These were all contributions to saving the entire Dark Iron Dwarf tribe.

If you want to replace Lu Heng, you must at least save two Dark Iron Dwarf tribes.

Therefore, these chaebols and capital groups have no idea how difficult this matter is.

……

After Fire Emblem finished its internal self-examination, the psychic named Ke Yiming came to Quenching Castle again, wanting to talk to Lu Heng again.

Speaking of the problems within Fire Emblem, it was the other party who reminded me of it. This is a kind of help in any case, and I should say thank you.

Moreover, Lu Heng was very curious about this person, so he invited him to the tea room.

"Mr. Lu, what have you thought about the suggestion I made last time?" Ke Yiming didn't say too much politely and got straight to the point after sitting down.

"We don't have any plans in this regard for now, and Fire Emblem is operating very well." Lu Heng picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and also poured him a cup.

"The speed of Fire Emblem's internal self-examination is indeed very fast. In fact, our Levi Mercenary Group does not necessarily want to become the second Fire Emblem. We just hope to get a chance. To this end, we can provide the intelligence you need, which is about a certain chaebol who has connections with the Demon Lord of the Abyss and intends to harm you." Ke Yiming mentioned the information again.

Lu Heng's expression remained unchanged. He took a sip of tea and replied casually, "If the information is true, I can buy it with money or exchange it with something else. Tempering Fort will not add any new portals for the time being."

Ke Yiming was not in a hurry and continued, "Okay. Regarding this intelligence, I will provide a little more information. This chaebol is the Savile family.

“The Savile Group is one of the major shareholders of Grace Quenching Services, so they are very hostile to you.

“We, the Levi Mercenary Group, have channels in the Savile Group and can obtain some intelligence.

“There is a psychic in the Savile family who can communicate with certain beings in the abyss world.

"If you are willing to accept our kindness, the Levi Mercenary Group can help you solve some problems."

When Lu Heng heard the word Savile Group, he raised his eyebrows, because the name of this group left a deep impression in his memory.

Because the Savile Group is the fuse that triggered the changes in the world rules in the Abyss Era.

The changes of the times are always a process.

With every change of era, the rules of the world will change.

The families of the ASE Alliance established the original world financial system and indirectly controlled the entire world through the financial system. Even the White Eagle Federation was infiltrated by the ASE Alliance.

It is conceivable how terrible the power of this financial system is.

However, with the advent of the Abyss Age and the emergence of extraordinary beings, this system of world rules was challenged.

In this life, it was Lu Heng who broke the rules of the world, but in the previous life, it was actually the person in front of him named Ke Yiming.

Yes.

The reason why Lu Heng is so interested in Ke Yiming is because he was the one who broke the rules of the world in his previous life.

He is the first person in public information to obtain the fourth job rank, and his job name is [Agent of Death].

After he returned from the Siren World, he attacked a consortium family, which was the Savile family. The Savile family was a consortium that originated in Lion City and had a history of only a few decades.

Among the Western aristocracy, there is an interesting word to describe the aristocrats with deep heritage, called old money, which literally means old money.

The newly emerged wealthy people are called new money, which literally means new money and has a similar meaning in this context as nouveau riche.

In other words, new money would be laughed at in the eyes of Western aristocrats.

Undoubtedly, the Planta family is the most noble kind of old money, but of course it is now completely over.

The Savile family belongs to a newly emerging consortium, that is, new money. In the eyes of Western aristocrats, it is a second-rate family.

Of course, before the abyss comes, money and wealth are the most important.

Even for ancient nobles, if they have no money, the end is only ruin.

In the previous life, the Savile family was attacked by Ke Yiming and his Levi Mercenary Group, and their fate was even more tragic than that of the Planta family.

Because of this incident, the chaebol families and capital groups in the human world realized that the rules of the game had changed.

In this life, things have changed a bit.

The person who broke the original rules was not Ke Yiming, and the failed chaebol was not the Savile family.

Because he knew this information, when Lu Heng heard the last name "Savier" from Ke Yiming, many things came to his mind, which were extremely exciting.

In his previous life, Ke Yiming used the peak combat power of the fourth job level to kill the Savile family.

In this life, he did not obtain the fourth job level, but he told Lu Heng the name of the Savile family.

What is his purpose?
Killing with a borrowed knife?

He killed the Savile family in his previous life, so there must be other reasons behind this.

It could be interests, hatred, or something else.

The timeline of this life has changed, but there are definitely some things that have not changed.

There must be a purpose for Ke Yiming to mention the name of the Savile family.

Lu Heng calmly put down the teacup and asked thoughtfully, “Savier Family?”

"Yes, there is a psychic in their family. Do you know psychics?" Ke Yiming emphasized again.

Lu Heng nodded slightly and replied, "I know."

A psychic is a special class that can communicate with certain powerful beings through special media.

If one is a powerful psychic, he can even obtain power from powerful beings in another world.

Therefore, the fighting power of a psychic can sometimes be exaggerated, but the fighting power he displays is not something he possesses himself, but is bestowed by the existence of a supernatural being.

In other words, psychics are often powerful beings from another world, pawns in the human world.

If there really is a psychic in the Savile family, did this psychic exist in the previous life?
Lu Heng felt that it should exist.

It has been one year and eight months since I was reborn. In such a long time, I have been able to summarize many rules.

The major events that occurred in the human world after the invasion of the Abyss remained basically unchanged.

It doesn't matter what event happens or when it breaks out.

For example, the recruitment in the Siren World happened at almost the same time, but the recruits changed.

There was also the proliferation of super-powered potions, and that happened too.

These things seem to be inevitable and will not change due to anyone's influence.

After summarizing these rules, Lu Heng confirmed one thing: only things that he has changed personally will change and affect adjacent events.

For example, super power potions were rampant, and Lu Heng issued a reminder to the Daxia officials in advance, which enabled Daxia to ban the trade of super power potions earlier, thus protecting Daxia from the harm of super power potions. At least the harm was much smaller than in the previous life.

Lu Heng had never been involved in the affairs of the Savile Group, so the development of this family should be similar to that of the previous life.

Then, this psychic should exist.

In other words, Ke Yiming's main purpose was not to help himself, nor to move into Quenching Castle, but to kill someone with a borrowed knife and get rid of the Savile family.

Lu Heng stared into his eyes and asked, "Are there any more detailed information? The more detailed the information about the Savile family, the better."

Lu Heng guessed that the other party's purpose was to use him to deal with the Savile family.

If this guess is correct, then he shouldn't mind handing over the information about the Savile family.

As expected, Ke Yiming pondered for a moment and agreed: "I can give you the information about the Savile family, just as my sincerity."

Seeing how straightforward he was, Lu Heng further confirmed his guess.

As for what to do after getting detailed information about the Savile family, we can consider that later.

Since you know that the other party wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, you can also use him in return.

As for whether to take action against the Savile Family, it depends on whether the Savile Family is really colluding with the Abyss Demon King and their target is themselves.
