Chapter 94: The Seven Major Arrangements, Rorschach Enters the Game
It was obvious that the Fourth Prince knew about Lindsay.

The four original bloodline families in the Storm Empire are all giant crocodiles that can make half of the empire tremble with just a stomp of their feet. As the youngest gold-level member of the Sphinx family in nearly a hundred years, Lindsay is naturally very famous.

It's just that he has always been a casual person and seldom appears in formal occasions, so the Fourth Prince has never seen him.

But when Elsa pointed out the name Lindsay, the Fourth Prince immediately realized who the strange man in front of him was, and he looked very surprised.

Because he understood that if he could pull Lindsay onto his chariot, even if it was not equivalent to pulling the Sphinx family over, at least he could ensure that the Sphinx family would not easily stand against him.

What's more, Lindsay himself is a gold-level warrior, and the blood he fused is the blood of a banshee. A top-notch gold-level illusionist like this can play a much greater role in many specific situations than an ordinary gold-level warrior!

"I was rude before, please don't blame me, Lord Lindsay." The fourth prince bowed deeply to Lindsay.

"Since we want to cooperate, we are family. There's no need to be so formal. Why don't you, the fourth prince, join our group?" Lindsay suggested.

Elsa was just about to tell Lindsay to stop messing around when she saw the fourth prince clearly interested and asked, "Really?"

This made Aisha swallow her words instantly.

Well, she didn't care about this matter anymore.

"Why not? Our group has a lot of work to do. Why don't you be the financial director?" Lindsay made the decision with a wave of his hand.

"Hey, Lindsay, don't go too far. Aren't you treating Yeager like a fat sheep?" Elsa couldn't help it. "We don't have any financial affairs to manage. You might as well just let him donate."

"How can this be called slaughter? It's something we both agreed to."

"you……"

"I'll join!" The fourth prince interrupted his cousin Elsa, as if he was afraid that Lindsay and Rex would regret it. "From now on, all the financial issues of our group will be handed over to me. I promise to live up to your expectations!"

It is obvious that the Fourth Prince knows the so-called financial director, that is, the financial sponsor of the Knights of Death.

But just by donating some money, he can be tied to two gold-level players, and with the addition of his little cousin Elsa, he will definitely make a profit in this deal.

"Where were we talking about before? Oh yes, the power of preparation. Your Uncle Nine is definitely well prepared this time. If I'm not mistaken, he and the old fox in my family have already had a tacit understanding." Elsa said again.

"Great-uncle Hadi?" The fourth prince couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this.

The mayors of the four capital cities have always been the backbone of the Storm Empire. Even if they are not the patriarchs of the four original bloodline families, their words and deeds are enough to represent the four original bloodline families.

And without exception, they are all mid-level gold!
Normally, big shots of their level would not be so bored as to intervene in any fight for the throne, because no matter who becomes the crown prince, it will not have any impact on them.

Any prince who eventually ascends to that position must take the initiative to establish good relations with them, and they don't have to waste any effort.

Because of this, if one could really gain the support of a city lord, the benefits that could be brought would definitely be very considerable!

"I said, as long as I am willing to support you, no matter how much your father dislikes you, that position can only be yours." Rex did not further explain the matter of the Lord of Mountain City, but looked at the Fourth Prince and said lightly, "Before that, I hope you can fulfill your promise as soon as possible."

"Uncle Jiu, don't worry. I will use all my strength to get to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible." The Fourth Prince nodded.

*********
"What is this? Is this the alien version of the Nine Dragons' Struggle for Succession?"

After arriving at the Storm Capital, Rorschach quickly learned about the current situation of the Storm Capital through Jin Kara's intelligence network and found it interesting.

This is also an old tradition of the Storm Empire.

No matter who the reigning king favors, the battle for the crown prince will eventually have to be fought with real swords and guns, and the king can only help secretly at most.

However, generally speaking, the king’s power is definitely the strongest, so once he wants to be partial, it is basically difficult for the prince who gets help to lose. The way the princes fight each other is also very simple, that is, to do their best to clip the other’s wings until they can easily kill the other!
Of course, they won't really kill each other in the end, but for the loser it's not much better than death.

"Should we choose one side to join?" Jin Kara, as the king of onlookers, was very excited at this time and asked while rubbing his hands.

"Our camp has been determined, but we are not in a hurry to show up. Let's observe in secret first." Rorschach said with a smile.

"Has it been decided?" Jin Kara asked curiously, "Didn't we enter the city at the same time? When did you decide on your camp, Brother Xianyu?"

"Just now." Luo Xia did not explain much, because this matter involved the master-slave mark between him and Su Xueqi, and it was not convenient to explain too much.

After sensing his arrival, Su Xueqi came nearby and communicated with him.

So he also learned that the makeshift group of the Killer Knights had decided to support the Fourth Prince Jaeger, and had also directly accepted the Fourth Prince into the Knights Knights, making him the group's financial director.

Although Rorschach had no plans to meet Rex for the time being, since Rex had already chosen his camp, he naturally had no objection.

He came here just to take advantage of this big event to be promoted to gold level in one fell swoop. Other things have nothing to do with him.

"Do you want to watch the fun?" Rorschach suddenly asked.

"How can it be so lively?" Jin Kara became excited when he heard that.

"Follow me."

Rorschach didn't explain much, just asked Jin Kara to follow him.

Because just now, he saw the figures of two replacers, and they both came from the same force - Organization X!

The official replacer organization of the Golden Eagle Federation, one of the seven major ones!

At this moment, two displacers from the same force walked together, and it seemed that they were rushing somewhere.

As a Great Flameman, Rorschach has no good feelings towards the Golden Eagle Federation. It would be even better if he could build his happiness on the suffering of Organization X.

……

In the bright reception room, a dozen people sat around a round table, eating snacks and chatting casually.

Sitting on the main seat was a blond middle-aged man who looked very dignified. His name was Piccolo, the sixth councilor of Organization X.

Organization X has a total of twelve members, and without exception, they are all above the silver level, especially the first, second, and third members, who are all gold level, so the three of them rarely show up.

The one who is truly in charge of the situation is the fourth councillor.

However, these latter parliamentarians also have their own power and usually do not get too close to each other. They will only stand on the same front when facing a united front against the outside world.

Just like now, everyone present is the Sixth Senator Bick's men, and they are discussing important matters.

"Boss, are we really going to choose the Fourth Prince? I heard that the emperor doesn't seem to like him very much." One of the subordinates asked worriedly.

"This was not my decision. It was Manderlay's decision." The Sixth Councillor shook his head and said, "And he had no choice in this matter. Yanlong's people have been in contact with the eldest prince for a long time, and Shenhan also reached an agreement with the second prince before us. There is no chance for us to intervene."

The Mandalay mentioned by the Sixth Councillor is the Fourth Councillor who is in charge of the daily affairs of Organization X.

As for Shenhan, it is the official replacement organization of the Extreme Cold Empire and, like them, is one of the seven.

It is worth mentioning that these three families are also the three strongest among the seven, and naturally they will not miss this drama of fighting for the throne.

In addition, the existence of the Replacers has long been no secret to the top leaders of the Storm Empire, and it is no psychological burden for these princes to be able to cooperate with the leading forces among the Replacers.

From the perspective of the Storm King, he wouldn't mind at all.

Because no matter who wins in the end, it means that the Replacement Organization that supports the other princes will inevitably suffer a heavy blow.

This is also a plan to eliminate replacers, killing two birds with one stone.

“Don’t think that the Fourth Prince is not popular. This time, in addition to us choosing the Fourth Prince, several other families have made the same choice, such as White Elephant, the Demon Spirit Society, and so on.” The Sixth Senator said lightly.

"Who the hell is the Demon Spirit Society? How can it be compared with the Big Seven?" The man who spoke first showed disdain, obviously looking down on this kind of organization that is not one of the Big Seven, even if it is the three major international intelligence organizations.

As for the White Elephant, it is the official replacement organization of the Maurya Empire and one of the seven.

"The Demon Spirit Society is indeed nothing, but is it your turn, a piece of trash who is not even at the silver level, to look down on it?" A sneer suddenly sounded.

"Who?!"

Everyone present was shocked, including the Sixth Senator, Piccolo!

"See, I told you there was going to be something exciting to watch." Rorschach had already walked out of the yard, and Jin Kara followed closely behind him.

However, the latter looked somewhat unhappy at this time.

Today, Jin Kara has been promoted to Silver. Although his strength cannot compare to a monster like Rorschach, he is definitely not weaker than the Sixth Senator.

The bloodline his father prepared for him was the royal bloodline of the Red Flame Empire, one of the three great empires—the Phoenix bloodline!
Not only him, his father himself also has the blood of the Phoenix. With the blood of the Phoenix, plus the various trump cards his father left him, he is not afraid of the lower gold level, let alone the silver level.

He originally wanted to follow Rorschach to watch the fun, but he didn't expect to hear these bastards at the Black Demon Spirit Meeting, which made him unable to hold back.

"Who are you?" asked the Sixth Senator, Bick, in a deep voice.

"Before answering your question, I also have a question for you. You said that you have selected four princes as partners, so there should be a gold-level admission. Who will it be, or will all three come?" Rorschach asked.

"I don't talk to unknown people." The Sixth Councillor snorted.

"Is that so... Then don't say anything more, let's just get on the road." Rorschach said calmly.

No sane person in Dayan would have a good impression of the Golden Eagle Federation, and once the hostile relationship between the two sides leaves the rule of law, the truth will naturally be revealed in combat.

There was no large-scale conflict between Yanlong and Organization X, simply because both sides were of similar strength, and a complete conflict would only benefit a third party.

But this superficial peace does not mean peace in private.

If either side has the opportunity to take drastic action, neither will show mercy.

Although Luo Xia did not have much sense of belonging to the Blue Water Planet, he did not mind helping Yanlong weaken his opponent, which could be regarded as serving his country.

"Blood Prison Shock Technique!"

Rorschach's mind moved, and he used his mental power to attack everyone present except Jin Kara!

In an instant, more than half of them fell down!

Only the Sixth Senator and his two strongest subordinates did not fall, but they also looked uncomfortable and were obviously affected.

“You are…” As a high-ranking member of Organization X, the Sixth Senator obviously knew more than the others, so he was even more shocked.

He didn't expect that he would be so unlucky. When he just gathered his people for a meeting, he would encounter a replacer at the wizard apprentice level!
You know, the wizard apprentices among the swappers nowadays are basically those top swappers who have already entered the gold level.

Although the Sixth Senator did not think he was weak, he was obviously far behind those truly top replacers.

"Don't be a Golden Eagle in your next life. Farewell." Luo Xia learned from his previous lesson and did not introduce himself, but sent him on his way.

Including the Sixth Senator, all of them became his fuel reserves.

Jin Kara, who had already advanced to the Silver level, now only had one role left, which was to deal with the scene. This made him very depressed: "I am a Silver-level warrior with the blood of the Phoenix, can I only help burn corpses?"

"Then next time you do it and I'll clean up the mess?" Rorschach said.

"No need. I love helping others. It's just a corpse. Who can burn it cleaner than me?" Jin Kara raised his hand to refuse.

Fighting and killing is beneath one's dignity, so let's just forget about it.

"However, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that your family chose the same camp as ours." Rorschach then remembered the information he had heard before.

"Huh? Are we also supporting the Fourth Prince?" Jin Kara reacted after hearing that.

When he asked Rorschach before, Rorschach did not answer his question directly.

So he only realized this now.

"That's right." Luo Xia nodded, "And I can tell you very clearly that the final winner will only be the Fourth Prince. Your family made the right bet."

"Is there any inside information?" Jin Kara asked in a low voice.

"I guess so." Rorschach did not deny it.

This is of course not an inside story. It's simply because he knew that Rex chose to support the Fourth Prince, and this time there was the existence of Dusk Village behind Rex, so he could not lose no matter what.

"If that's the case, then we have to find a way to kick Organization X and White Elephant out first. We can't let them get away with it." Jin Kara clapped his hands and said, "It's decided. Brother Xianyu, you will accompany me to meet Aunt Shirley later and ask her to help find clues about those two families."

"Who is she?" Rorschach was a little confused.

"Oh, I forgot you didn't know her. She was my father's secretary, but now she is also the actual controller of the Demonic Spirit Society. She was the one who managed the Demonic Spirit Society when my father was away." Jin Kara introduced her to Rorschach.

"Secretary?" Rorschach repeated.

"Don't get the wrong idea. She's just my father's lover," Jin Kara explained.

"?"

……

When Jinkla took Rorschach to meet Aunt Shirley, the other party's information had already appeared in front of Rorschach:

「Name: Keisha Sphinx (Shirley Nead)」

"Race: Humanity, Banshee bloodline"

"Ability: Secret Technique of Confusion Lv.3"

"Hint: This is a person you have heard of but never met. Think carefully, where did you hear about her existence?"

……

Heard of it, but never seen it?
Shinyuu no Hitomi's hint this time was very brief, but that was normal, as the more troublesome the character was for him, the more hints he would get.

But he was already at the silver level now, and he was only one step away from becoming a mid-level wizard apprentice. Even ordinary lower-level gold was not a big deal for him, let alone the silver level.

Jin Kara's Aunt Shirley must be very capable to be able to manage the Demon Spirit Society for her father.

However, her status in the Gray Region is obviously not ordinary.

From her last name, it was known that she was descended from the Sphinx family, one of the four original blood families, and the hint from the True Prison Eyes also made him quickly think of someone, the one who went to the Mountain Capital with Lindsay.

Lindsay's evaluation of her is that although her strength is average, she is smarter than anyone else and she can survive even if she dies.

Although this comment contains some personal emotions, it is also a disguised compliment.

Luo Xia thought about it and thought that this was the only person who met the requirements, so he smiled and said, "I seem to have heard of the name Kesha."

Shirley, who had just introduced herself and looked like a girl next door, chuckled and said, "Where have you heard of this?"

"You've been to the Mountain Capital with Lindsay before, right?" Rorschach asked.

"Hey, you know Uncle Lindsay?" Shirley was a little surprised.

Jin Kara brought Rorschach to see her, proving that Rorschach was definitely a trustworthy friend, so she did not hide her name in the Gray Zone.

I just didn't expect that the other party actually knew me.

"Brother Lindsay is also in the imperial capital now. You should be able to see him soon." Rorschach said with a smile.

"Who is Lindsay?" Jin Kara asked from the side.

"You've seen him too, the gold-level one who was with me last time." Rorschach explained to Jin Kara.

"It's him. I thought he was your teacher." Jin Kara said with fresh memory.

It was because of that meeting that he realized that Rorschach was not a simple person and decided to be friends with him.

Given his status, naturally not everyone is qualified to be his friend.

Although Shirley was a little surprised that Lindsay was also in Storm Capital, it was nothing strange to her. In comparison, she was more concerned about the information Jin Kara had told her before, so she asked:
"Where did you hear that the Fourth Prince would definitely win?"

"Rorschach said so." Jin Kara said directly.

"I have my reasons, but they don't seem to have anything to do with kicking the X organization out early, right? If Ms. Shirley finds it inconvenient, I will look for other channels." Rorschach said bluntly.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just a little curious. You are Jin Kara's friend, which means you are a friend of the Demon Spirit Society." Shirley said with a smile.

After a brief statement, Shirley had her subordinates deliver the latest intelligence to Rorschach. "Here are some of the clues we have at the moment. It's not complete due to the short time, but if they suddenly lose so much power, they will definitely be very uncomfortable."

"Thank you very much." Rorschach took the information and said with a smile.
