Everyone's eyes flickered, but no one answered.
Su Lun didn't care and continued,"
"Well then, let's first answer the question that this young lady just raised.”
"Regarding the reason why everyone has come to the foggy courtyard.”
The nine of them listened attentively.
" To understand this, I'll first introduce the uniqueness of the 'Misty Courtyard.'”
Su Lun walked to one of the stone chairs beside the marble table and sat down.
" This is a special organization that has probably existed for thousands of years. I dare not speculate on the true purpose of its existence. I only know that the 'Misty Courtyard' will be born in every era that is about to stir up turmoil.”
"His Highness the Lord of Mist will personally use the mighty power of the Demon King level to randomly select elites who can cause waves in the upcoming turbulent era and summon them into the Misty Courtyard for cultivation.”
"Among you, there may be geniuses who are recognized by the outside world, or there may be trash who are not liked by others. However, there is no doubt that those who can enter the Misty Courtyard are the only ones who are recognized by the Lord of Mist.”
After Su Lun finished speaking, he paused for a moment, giving the nine people present time to digest the information he had just said.
He conjured a cup of hot tea and took a sip. Looking at the shocked expressions of the nine people, he couldn't help but smile.
In fact, if he had really intended to call only ten tools to come in and read, he would not have had to put on such a show.
He had spent so much effort to let his shadow avatar pretend to be the so-called Lord of Mist because he had considered other things.
He had just transmigrated to this world and his foundation was still shallow. Wang Youqing was a poor young lady without any powerful background.
If they were to encounter any trouble, it would be useless to rely on him, a mere one-circle mage, even if he had a three-circle maid, Azurite, in this world where powerhouses were everywhere.
Therefore, he planned to take this opportunity to try and create a secret organization to act as his own force.
The nine people in front of him were all selected by Suren based on the information sent from the fog contract. Each of them had good strength and talent.
If he were to nurture him further, he would be able to use the Demonic Library's ability to decipher grimoire without any obstacles, and he would definitely grow rapidly.
As long as he used the name of the Lord of Mist to lead them, he could immediately form a considerable force.
Su Lun was not afraid of being exposed. As long as he was in the Fog World, he was the true Lord of Fog, a Demon King level powerhouse.
With the 'might' of the Lord of Mist and the 'benefits' of the demonic library, everyone would obediently submit under coercion and temptation.
As long as they had a taste of the demonic library, which allowed them to obtain endless Mystical Knowledge without restraint, they would never be able to go back.
While Su Lun was thinking about these things, the others seemed to have finished digesting the information.
"I have a question."
Li Qingyun was the first to speak.
" You said that we were the elites chosen by His Highness the Lord of Mist…but in fact, I only clicked into that post and accidentally pressed 'yes'.”
"That post was posted on 'Night Walk in God's Capital' and everyone saw it. Could it be that everyone is within the scope of Your Highness's choice?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the others also nodded in puzzlement.
How could this method of randomly searching for nine people on the Internet be the same as choosing " heroes who can make waves in turbulent times "?
"Good question."
Su Lun nodded.
"However, have you ever thought about why it was the nine of you who clicked 'yes' and not anyone else?”
His voice seemed to contain some deep meaning.
"The Demon King's power is beyond our imagination. You think it's a coincidence, but how do you know what kind of interference His Highness has done to fate?”
Everyone fell silent.
Su Lun's words made them think of many things, and they even felt a chill run down their spines.
That's right, there were so many people who saw the post. Why were the nine of them chosen? Was it really just a coincidence?
According to the legends, a single thought from a Demon God was enough to change the direction of the world. What mortals thought was a coincidence, a miracle, or something inconceivable might just be a joke that these big shots found interesting.
"But…"
Li Qingyun accepted Su Lun's explanation, but he was soon puzzled.
"You said that the Misty Courtyard has existed for more than a thousand years, and it has recruited elites in various turbulent eras. Then why have I never heard of this organization?”
Su Lun gathered his hands and said,
"This is why this place is called the 'Misty Courtyard.”
" The word 'fog' is derived from the meaning of 'fog hidden in history.' No one knows the true identity of the Lord of Fog, and I don't know what His Highness 'true goal is. However, every time the Era of Turmoil ends, His Highness will hide the' Fog Courtyard 'so that it won't leave a trace in history.”
Su Lun smiled.
" The famous sorcerers in history that you are familiar with might have been once members of the 'Misty Courtyard.'”
"I see."
Li Qingyun nodded and accepted this explanation.
Although he still had many questions, he roughly understood his current situation.
"Then how did you come here? Also, you said that you're the director of the demonic library? And what is the demonic path library?"
The woman who had spoken earlier asked.
Su Lun turned to look at her. Through the fog, he saw a flawless and beautiful face with a calm expression.
According to the information obtained from the fog contract, her name was Ning Xiaoya. She was only seventeen years old, but she was already a genius with three rings and Morning Star.
"I'm similar to you. I was also selected by the Lord of Mist and summoned into the Misty Courtyard. It's just that I was a little earlier than you.”
" As for the Demonic Dao Library…"
Su Lun's tone revealed a hint of ridicule.
"Do you still remember what was written in the post that brought you to the foggy courtyard?”
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed one after another. Some were surprised and some were excited.
"Could it be…"
Ning Xiaoya's calm voice carried a hint of urgency and anticipation.
"Not bad."
Su Lun laughed.
" The demonic library is the place where you can read all the grimoire books in the world without any obstacles.”
