Chapter 1633 1628: Twenty Ancient Weapons
Su Chen left the main hall and went to the interior of the Castle, where Harlow Nopheler and Duke Karloki were already waiting.Today is the day Su Chen becomes a Guest Elder for the Nopheler Family, but this is only a facade.
Now that they've invited Su Chen to the interior of the Castle, the real discussion is about some requirements the Nopheler Family has for Su Chen.
No, rather than requirements, it's more about cooperation.
The Nopheler Family needs a strong ally, a representative who can fight for their interests.
Su Chen's appearance, and his formidable strength, undoubtedly matches their requirements and position for this ally.
Firstly, Su Chen is not affiliated with any power, this is the result of their investigation; Su Chen is an Eastern person, and before this, he should not have had contact with other members of the Bloodline, and Su Chen is very powerful.
With the intelligence agency of the Bloodline, it's easy to investigate some information related to Su Chen.
However, the more they know about Su Chen, the more they feel they've found a treasure.
But after bringing Su Chen over, Harlow was still unwilling to give up, saying to Su Chen, "Mr. Death God, it's just a simple ceremony process, swearing allegiance to the family head, I guarantee it won't bind you, all the conditions we talked about before are still in effect, I swear to the great ancestor Cain."
Su Chen shook his head, then extended two fingers.
Harlow was puzzled, not knowing what Su Chen meant.
Su Chen immediately explained, "First, I don't believe in your ancestral Cain, your oath to him has no binding force or value for me, moreover, actually kneeling to swear loyalty is not entirely impossible, of course, I mean just going through the motions, but the price you offered before was a bit low."
After hearing Su Chen's words, Harlow breathed a sigh of relief, turns out Su Chen felt their price earlier was not enough.
"Mr. Death God, please believe in the sincerity of the Nopheler Family, the conditions mentioned earlier are still valid, now I'm adding an additional billion US Dollars in annual remuneration, plus two Ancient Weapons can be given now…"
Harlow thought Su Chen wanted two Ancient Weapons, but he remembers, he instructed Colin, as long as Su Chen agreed to go through the motions, to give him two Ancient Weapons, why is Su Chen still asking him for two Ancient Weapons?
Could it be… he intends to make me add two more?
Four Ancient Weapons, just to make Su Chen kneel once, it's somewhat painful and reluctant.
Harlow was very hesitant, if Su Chen really wants four Ancient Weapons, should he give them or not?
Actually, giving them wouldn't be a big problem, the Nopheler Family still has enough reserves, though it's a bit painful…
Su Chen shook his head to stop Harlow's words, and with a look of pain and sorrow, he said to Harlow Nopheler, "Harlow family head, what do you think I am? Two Ancient Weapons? What do you think I am? Hmm? Trying to placate a beggar? I'm talking about twenty Ancient Weapons, if it's twenty Ancient Weapons, I might reluctantly kneel once, just for the formalities…"
Harlow Nopheler listened to the first half of the sentence without sensing any problem.
But when he heard Su Chen mention twenty Ancient Weapons, Harlow's face turned green, and even Karloki, who was listening to their conversation, turned pale.
Twenty Ancient Weapons?
Do you think the Nopheler Family's Ancient Weapons came from a gust of wind?
They were won by the ancestors of the family, who exchanged their lives for them, after years of fighting against the shameless Bright Church!
And just kneeling can earn twenty Ancient Weapons as reimbursement… why don't you just rob them?!
Harlow's heart raced with ten thousand alpacas, kneeling for twenty Ancient Weapons, how about I kneel for you, will you give them to me?
But due to this statement, Harlow abandoned the idea of having Su Chen kneel and swear allegiance.
Bring it up again? If he brings it up again, it would mean twenty Ancient Weapons!
While the Nopheler Family is wealthy, they are not wealthy to such an extent.
So they had to move on to the next topic, about the Dark Council…
"Mr. Death God, have you heard of the Dark Council?" This time, it was no longer Harlow Nopheler talking with Su Chen, but Karloki Nopheler himself directly engaging in conversation.
When Harlow Nopheler inherited the position of the Nopheler Family head, it was no longer the glorious era of the Bloodline and the Dark Council was no longer at its peak.
Therefore, his knowledge about the true core of the Bloodline and the Dark Council was limited.
But Karloki is different, by that time he was already a Duke.
As Harlow's direct uncle, the younger brother of the Nopheler Family head, he was genuinely a second-generation Bloodline aristocrat.
It's just unfortunate he didn't encounter a good era.
During that wartime turmoil, even Princes faced the risk of falling, let alone Dukes.
But fortunately, he survived, remained very strong, didn't he?
And back in those days, the Dark Council was even stronger, since it wasn't only home to the Bloodline's top experts, but also included dark creatures like the Werewolf Clan, Necromancers, Witch Demons, and others.
It was truly a gathering of experts!
Karloki, as the brother of the Nopheler Family head, naturally had the qualifications to go to Dark City.
It's just that among the fifty-five council seats in Dark City, he didn't have one.
But now it's different, this time, Karloki wants to secure a position for himself!
"I've heard of it." Su Chen replied calmly.
At this moment, Su Chen's heart was extremely tense, regarding the Dark Council, he only knew bits and pieces from Barney, that mysterious world merely lifted a corner of its veil for him.
And sitting in front of him, this ancient member of the Bloodline, must have lived over four or five hundred years, right?
Su Chen dared not speculate a larger number, after all, whether Harlow or Karloki, they look just around forty years old.
But in reality, both Karloki and Harlow are Bloodline members over a thousand years old.
This is common among the Bloodline.
Bloodline members inherently become more powerful the longer they live, Karloki is just injured now, once he recovers, coupled with the accumulation during sleep, his strength could easily surge to the peak of a Second-class Duke!
And it's very likely, he might enter the ranks of a First-class Duke!
"Since you know about the Dark Council, I'll speak honestly, inviting you as a Guest Elder is just part of the deal, additionally, the Ancient Weapon promised to you, I can assure you, at the very least, it will be of mid-grade human rank!"
"Then what exactly is your goal?" Su Chen swiftly sat up, eyes sharp, ready to leave at any moment.
Since the Nopheler Family is willing to pay such a high price, their goal must be significant.
It must be known that if they're willing to pay, the benefits will surely far exceed the costs.
And since Karloki mentioned guaranteeing Su Chen at least one mid-grade human Ancient Weapon, the conditions must be extremely harsh, right?
