Duke Li Lin reported without looking up or hesitating:
"The angry lion has an impulsive personality. He is good at managing the army but not at handling domestic affairs."
"Bai Long is completely absorbed in women, and is a frequent visitor to the Rose Art Gallery who is of little use."
"Adrian is cunning and good at balancing speculation. He's a bad guy, but he's better than me at handling the king's internal affairs."
But his voice was dry, like his last words.
Ivia nodded. This description was pretty much the same as what she felt, so it should be the truth.
"Then you should continue to handle the kingdom's internal affairs, maintain stability, and don't bother me."
Ivia waved him off.
"Ah?" Duke Li Lin, who had prepared himself for death but still maintained his elegance, suddenly lost his composure. He raised his head again and looked at Avia in surprise.
"Are there any other difficulties?"
"No! Everything is for Sera!! Your Majesty, your leniency and mercy..."
Duke Li Lin, who had survived the disaster, answered loudly again.
"By the way, please do me a favor and investigate an organization called the Society of the Gods." Aivia interrupted the flattery and poured a basin of cold water on Duke Li Lin's head, making him stuck.
Duke Li Lin suddenly looked like he was dying, and his expression made Ivia guess a possibility, so she also said with a smile:
"Maybe the gods have something to do with you too!"
Duke Li Lin was about to cry.
The Holy Clan started out as God Devourers, and the name of the Gods Society was obviously a rebellion, but Li Lin was the president of the Gods Society. Li Lin opened his mouth at this moment and didn't know what to say, so he stuttered.
"Go back and think about it slowly, organize the intelligence, and report to me tomorrow at breakfast. Go ahead!"
Ivia shook her head and didn't ask about the inside story. Li Lin's behavior just now fully demonstrated his identity as a patriot. Ivia guessed that the Gods were just a disguised organization used to seize power.
The rapid progress of the mission also made Ivia confirm that, except for those tasks that clearly stated that she had to do it herself, Samsara Paradise only judged the completion of the mission based on the results.
For example, when it comes to obtaining intelligence, Samsara Paradise will only look at the completeness of the intelligence finally obtained. As for whether the contractor personally snatches it, interrogates it, or the intelligence is delivered to the door voluntarily, Samsara Paradise will not respond.
If Ivia's mission is to kill someone, then the mission target is considered to have completed the mission if it is killed by a meteorite during the duration of Ivia's mission. Of course, no treasure chest will be dropped.
Samsara Paradise doesn't care whether the contractor does it himself or uses plot characters or native world forces to achieve the mission goals.
In fact, this is also the way many other charm-type contractors complete their tasks. Many contractors will invest huge resources in disguising their initial identities in order to gain the upper hand, and then try their best to use the power of their forces to achieve their goals.
It was different with Avia, she gave direct orders.
Now that Avia has tasted the sweetness, she directly subcontracted the task to Duke Li Lin and asked him to organize the intelligence.
Only Avia can complete the task in this way. If other contractors trigger this task, not to mention asking Duke Li Lin to organize the intelligence, they will be subject to endless assassinations just by mentioning the Council of Gods.
The ruler of the kingdom in the seventh-level world will only be humble in front of Avia.
When ordinary contractors come into contact with people from the native world, they do not have equal strength and can only be used as disposable scapegoats. Like Su Xiao, he is still imprisoned.
Duke Li Lin didn't spend the whole night. Not long after Ivia returned to the palace, the newly appointed commander of the palace guards brought a bunch of information to Ivia. This was entrusted to him by Duke Li Lin to give to Ivia.
Duke Li Lin didn't have the courage to face Avia again.
Aivia looked at a pile of information and tried to touch it to let Samsara Paradise directly determine that the task was completed. The result disappointed Aivia. Samsara Paradise didn't know anything about it, and Aivia had to take the initiative to look through the information herself.
The Council of the Gods originated from the cunning Duke Adrian mentioned by Li Lin. He founded the Council of the Gods more than fifty years ago and set the purpose of the Council of the Gods. In the name of the gods, he judged those saints who held high positions but did nothing, and never betrayed or killed innocent people.
Chapter 357: Snake of the Abyss?
As for why Adrian did this, the information sent by Li Lin speculated that he was bewitched by the Abyss Serpent.
However, the original Council of Gods did not train assassins capable of infiltrating the royal city, and was more like an organization of empty talk.
It was not until more than ten years ago that the Duke of Angry Lion discovered clues about the Society of the Gods. Being impulsive, he immediately took action to eliminate the organization.
The corruption of the Sera Empire has been going on for a long time, and those who joined the Council of the Gods were killed endlessly. Their ideas were noticed by Duke Lilin, who recruited them and trained a large number of assassins.
As the Northern Alliance's attacks became increasingly fierce, Li Lin could no longer tolerate the other dukes and the Holy King sitting idle and doing nothing, so he resorted to assassination.
In fact, assassinations against the Holy King occurred from time to time, but the Holy King, who was originally a martial arts fanatic, did not care about the weak assassins and did not pursue them.
[The contractor obtained key information, and the fifth ring of the main quest, Gathering of the Gods, has been completed.]
[Contractor receives quest reward: Divine Bones x5]
[Main quest sixth ring o victory has been triggered]
Mission difficulty: LV60.
Mission Information: Repel or defeat the Northern Alliance Army's attack.
Mission time limit: 30 natural days
Task rewards: issued according to task completion.
Mission penalty: None.
[Tip: The completion level of this mission is determined by the battle situation, which are: Slow Retreat/Short-term Stalemate/Long-term Stalemate/Minor Victory/Repel/Defeat/Destroy the Northern Alliance]
[Hint: The minimum completion level for this mission is a slow retreat, which has been achieved. The current battlefield situation is a short-term stalemate.]
……
The time limit of thirty natural days and the lack of any mission penalty indicate the difficulty of maintaining the front line.
For Ivia, this task only depends on when she wants to complete it.
Ivia had no interest in interfering too much in this normal change of dynasty. When the deadline for the task was almost up, Ivia would just submit the task directly.
However, the name of the Abyss Serpent in the information caught Ivia's attention.
According to some information provided by Li Lin, the Abyss Snake seems to be the only active abyss monster in the past few hundred years. Other abyss creatures have long been sealed by the gods.
It was this abyss serpent that tempted humans to devour gods. Until now, legends about this monster and methods of summoning it still circulate from time to time in the Sera Empire.
This is also recorded in the materials of the Society of Gods.
The so-called abyss topographic map is included in the first few rounds of Ivia's mission. According to the trouble-making nature of the Abyss Serpent, after solving the Northern Alliance, the main mission of defending the country should be advanced into the so-called abyss.
Ivia decided to summon the final boss, the Abyss Serpent, and kill it in advance, so that when she got tired of playing, she could complete all the main tasks in one go.
Ivia checked the layout of the summoning array and prepared the materials according to the records.
A certain amount of holy power, which can be replaced by other energies. Ivia prepared a more gentle soul power.
Then there was the blood of the holy descendants. This was a bit troublesome. The cursed and corrupt blood was a mixture of life and death. Ivia took out a little bit of the power of the abyss, diluted it again and again, and barely simulated it. She crushed the soul crystal and sprinkled the debris on it, simulating the blood sacrifice and drawing the summoning circle.
Aivia imitated the power of the Holy Descendant with the power of her soul, guiding the disguised Holy Descendant's blood to flow.
Soon these imitation forces quickly gathered together and eventually formed a large black sphere about five meters in size in front of Ivia.
The power of space constructed coordinates in the big black sphere, and something descended inside the sphere.
Then the sphere bulged, as if something was trying to get out, and then it bulged again. Finally, the person inside seemed to be furious and hammered the outer wall of the sphere frantically.
Only then did Ivia realize that the thing that descended was not creating a sense of oppression, but the substitute power of the abyss she used was too high and the people inside could not get out.
After realizing this, Ivia's murderous intent instantly subsided, and she cut a hole in the big black ball.
The person in the big black ball finally found the exit. He stretched out his thin, bony hands and tore open the black ball, then walked out.
The Abyss Serpent is a beautiful girl?
Ivia suddenly perked up. The black sphere finally shattered, and a woman with long gray hair and dark pupils appeared in front of Ivia and spoke arrogantly:
"Mortals, since you are willing to sacrifice your lives to summon me, then I, the goddess of death, Ursula, will naturally respond to your call..."
Ursula's tone quickly changed from arrogant to humble, and finally she shut up without finishing her words because she had already realized that something was wrong with the summoning scene.
There was no blood and death here, only something more ominous. The female giant in front of him looked at him with surprise, without the fear that other summoners had.
The female giant asked curiously:
"Are you the Serpent of the Abyss?"
Ursula quickly shook her head and explained:
"I am Ursula, the goddess of death. No, I am Ursula, the ancient god."
When did the Sera Empire have such a thing?
The blood of the ancient gods in Ursula's body was trembling. It was not that she was afraid, but the source of her ancient god bloodline was afraid. After seeing this female giant, it almost lost its vitality and fell into a state of suspended animation. This was an instinctive fear inherited from the long past.
Ivia was indeed very surprised. She could tell at a glance that Ursula was an ancient god. It was not that Ivia had any prejudice against ancient gods, but none of the ancient gods Ivia had met and killed from ancient times to the present were good-looking.
The Mother of Night only uses her human form to facilitate combat, while her true form is a pool of black mud.
The best-looking one is Clara, who was adopted by Ivia, but most of Clara's body is still a big hairy spider, which is far from an ordinary human being.
The ancient god in front of me is actually a beautiful girl.
Because it was so rare, Ivia began to examine Ursula manually, touching her hands to see if there were any tentacles, then picking her up and touching her feet to see if there were any strange-shaped mouths.
Finally, feel the skin to see if there are any scales. Ursula even has normal hair!
Ursula herself didn't dare to move at all, and let Ivia manipulate her like a doll.
"Clara, Clara, come here! There's an Ancient God hybrid here too!"
After finishing the inspection, Ivia called out to Clara, asking her to see what a half-blood ancient god looked like.
While waiting for Clara to arrive, Ivia grabbed Ursula's hand and asked her to sit down and chat:
"Your name is Ursula, right? How old are you?"
"More than 1,500 years old."
Ursula answered honestly with trepidation. The giantess's behavior was too familiar to her, and she had a bad feeling.
"More than 1,500 years old? That's still a child. Good, very good. Is there anyone else at home?" Ivia continued to ask kindly.
Ursula quickly shook her head. She herself was considered a disgrace to the ancient gods because of her fighting ability, and she had no intention of contacting other ancient gods.
"Great!" Ivia praised sincerely. Except for ancient gods like Zuiyas who needed to play the long game to catch big fish, Ivia killed every ancient god she saw. It was the best that the mixed-race girl had no ancient god companions now.
But that didn't seem right, so Ivia quickly hugged Ursula and comforted her:
"Poor child! He lost all his family at such a young age!"
