A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 654 646: Commander of Soldiers_2
The headquarters of the Divine Court is in the Dream Realm, it is a part of the Tidal World within the Dream Realm.
However.
The Divine Court is able to construct small temporary Tidal Worlds to facilitate communication and interaction among high-level members, which is indeed very convenient.
And from this perspective.
The strength of the Divine Court is really on a much higher level than other secret organizations, just the ability to construct Tidal Worlds makes it difficult for many major forces.
This is also the reason why the Divine Court has been able to develop for so many years, always hidden underground, never discovered, and still able to continuously grow.
After a brief period of daze.
Baiyu opened his eyes and found himself in a simple room.
The walls of the room were white on all four sides, empty and without any source of light, yet it appeared very bright.
In the room stood a man in a robe, wearing a mask full of cracks, through which red light could be seen.
His appearance was quite ordinary.
However.
His outfit was very unconventional; Baiyu counted at least ten weapons hanging on his body.
From large ones like swords, axes, spears.
To small ones like throwing darts and hidden weapons.
He even had a rocket launcher on his back, the long coat revealed half of the gun barrel, looking extremely stylish.
Baiyu also wore a mask.
"Hello, I am the Lord of Arms."
The man stretched out his hand and introduced himself to Baiyu with a friendly tone: "I'm here in Mountain City to execute a task for the Divine Court.
Did not expect.
That you, Moon Lord, would be here."
Baiyu also extended a friendly hand, with a light-hearted voice carrying a smile, "Yes, I didn't expect to meet a colleague on an official task in Mountain City. I just joined the Divine Court, and many people don't know me, apologies."
"No problem, I've heard about you from the Lord of Shadows, you're a promising newcomer. But your Contribution Points are quite low, does that mean you haven't completed your first task?"
The Lord of Arms made a sitting motion in the empty room, and a chair appeared out of nowhere.
"Sit down."
The Lord of Arms' voice had a rust-like quality to it, as if he were an old soldier, weathered and experienced.
Baiyu sat down following his lead.
A stool also appeared beside him.
"How does one earn Contribution Points? No one has explained this to me," Baiyu inquired.
The Lord of Arms laughed and said, "It seems that the Lord of Clouds and others think your current strength is a bit low, so they didn't tell you.
But that's not surprising.
Situations like yours, Moon Lord, are rare for us too."
Baiyu felt a bit embarrassed, "I can't help it; increasing my strength is not something that can be forced."
"Hahaha, you don't need to hurry, I'm just mentioning it. If we really talk about potential, Moon Lord, yours is far greater than ours old-timers.
The Divine Court has survived till today, never caring about the official members' level of strength.
Your potential.
Is enormous.
Within the Divine Court, your current potential can definitely rank in the top three, possibly even top two.
The Lord of Clouds didn't tell you this for your safety's sake."
It's obvious.
The tasks of the Divine Court are certainly not simple.
Just like the last time we fought over the Forbidden Divine Soldier Fragments, the risk was extremely high.
"Then what is the use of Contribution Points?"
Baiyu continued to ask.
"Contribution Points are the currency within the Divine Court. Although we are a loose organization, we have some basic rules, like members cannot kill or betray each other.
The system of Contribution Points is part of these rules.
Contribution Points can be exchanged for many things, whether it's materials, Magic Elixir recipes, or other items. Contribution Points can even be used to post tasks in the Divine Court, requesting others to complete some things for you. Think of it as currency.
And the basic way to earn Contribution Points.
Is through tasks released internally by the Divine Court."
The Lord of Arms detailed the earning of Contribution Points to Baiyu, who then asked, "Who releases the Divine Court's tasks?"
"Of course, only Donghuang Taiyi is qualified to release them. He is also the biggest tycoon in the Divine Court; we all dream of the stuff in his treasury."
The Lord of Arms made a joke.
But it didn't have a good effect.
It's clear he's not the type to be good at jokes and small talk.
The aura of battle and weapons emanating from him shows that he is a silent, reliable, and strong fighter.
Baiyu nodded and looked at him again, asking, "Then what is your task this time?"
"Searching for the traitor... Ah, the matter of Xiang Liu must be resolved quickly. He obtained the Divine Court's legacy and wants to defect; how can we tolerate that?
The legacy of the Divine Court must be reclaimed.
Moreover, Xiang Liu has killed several members of the Divine Court, making it even more urgent to prevent his escape, otherwise, the authority of the Divine Court will be completely undermined.
The Monarch has been worried about this matter multiple times.
This time, we finally tracked down his movements, so I'm personally here to ensure he is captured or killed.
Xiang Liu seems to have contact with foreign races, surely he wants to go to their territory through Mountain City."
Baiyu felt a chill in his heart, growing more serious: "He wants to defect from the Human Race?"
"Certainly, if he didn't want to defect from the Human Race, how could we have surrounded him? But Xiang Liu's strength grew too quickly, causing us to misjudge the situation, resulting in such a big mistake.
Now.
The Divine Court unanimously decided to eliminate this error, which is why I've tracked him to this place.
The reward for Contribution Points is extremely generous, and it would also count as a great achievement. Do you want to take part?
Since Moon Lord, your roots are here.
Presumably, you have plenty of resources, and with the two of us cooperating, Xiang Liu definitely won't escape."
Baiyu pondered.
If he agrees with the Lord of Arms, his identity will be exposed.
The reason why the Divine Court maintains such a loose structure is due to members not knowing each other.
Once identities are revealed.
If the Lord of Arms harbors other intentions, Baiyu would be in a very unfavorable situation.
However.
He was very interested in this task of the Divine Court, unlike the last time with the Forbidden Divine Soldier fragments, where he had no interest at all.
"Moon Lord, hahaha, you've just joined the Divine Court, so having such concerns is normal."
The Lord of Arms saw Baiyu's expression and immediately understood his thoughts, "Actually, in the Divine Court, many people have small groups.
Members like us, who operate in the same area, usually know each other in private.
To show sincerity, I'll first tell you my identity."
After saying this.
He directly took out an iron token engraved with the character "豪" (Hao).
"I am Gu Leng, the Sect Leader of the Northern Hao Sword Sect. Moon Lord, I've basically guessed your identity, you should be a high-ranking member within the Imperial, right?
This is also the reason I sought you out for cooperation.
However, Moon Lord, if you're not comfortable, let's just drop it, and I'll go after Xiang Liu myself."
The Lord of Arms was completely unabashed.
From his words and actions, it was evident that this person was full of Jianghu heroic spirit, acting in an unrestrained manner.
Having his thoughts understood by the other party, Baiyu no longer continued to hide: "Indeed, I am a noble of the East Prosperity Imperial."
The Northern Hao Sword Sect.
This is a sect within the Jianghu Realm.
Much like a martial arts school, there are many such Jianghu sects among civilians.
These sects are naturally certified by the Imperial, and after careful backup and review, are allowed to exist.
They are like alternative "martial arts schools."
The Northern Hao Sword Sect is such a super large sect, ranking among the top in the Jianghu Realm.
It has a taste of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader in martial arts novels.
As for the Sect Leader of the Northern Hao Sword Sect, he is also famous across the Imperial, ranking high on the Grandmaster List.
However, in recent years, this Sect Leader rarely appears.
He publicly claims to be in closed-door cultivation, intending to only reappear after advancing to Tier One Martial Artist.
Who would have thought.
This Sect Leader is actually the Lord of Arms, one of the eight lords of the Divine Court.
Upon hearing Baiyu's confirmation, the Lord of Arms showed an expression of delight: "In that case, our actions will become much easier.
As long as we locate Xiang Liu and provide me with an isolated environment.
I can surely kill him!
By then, we will split the Contribution Points two to one, me two and you one, how does that sound?"
