Chapter 1608: Taking the Heart from the Secret Treasury (Part 1)

Understood.

Looking at the heartbroken Director Taurus, after listening to all the operations of the Ophiuchus Director, Leon vaguely understood why the matter back then had reached this point.

It was likely that the Ophiuchus Director bet that the Cleanup Bureau couldn't bear to be ruthless, so he ignored the advice and forcibly pushed the plan. After repeated communication failed, the Cleanup Bureau couldn't accept the consequences of the Supreme Four Pillar Gods reviving in the current world, so it could only choose to use the Thirteen Ant Nests to send the Ophiuchus Director and the East Calewin Kingdom away together.

This is really... it seems he didn't study Xiaohongshu.

Sighing with emotion while accompanying her, Leon couldn't help but shake his head, feeling sorry for those innocent East Calewin citizens who died, and also having a rough estimate of this "predecessor's" level in causing trouble.

When you want to truly accomplish something, being correct is useless. Instead, you must first find a group of people who agree with your ideas, then pull in a group of people who can benefit from what you do, and then show ability, strength, or even "destructive power" to grab those who are hesitant and still on the fence.

Once all this is done, and a large basic board is successfully grasped, it is time to push your ideas with big moves. Otherwise, even if the idea is correct and the direction is correct, the matter will end up not being done.

As for the approach chosen by the Ophiuchus Director... it can only be said that he is worthy of being a person with 【Heroism】 bloodline. He is really daring, and he is really reckless.

"Leon, to be honest, when you first revealed a similar tendency, we were actually very worried."

"..."

Looking at Leon's head of black hair, Director Taurus opened her mouth with memories:

"The matter back then was really... sigh... The reason why Sagittarius always likes to stare at you is because of this reason. The Bureau really can't afford another similar turmoil."

"It's just that although you have a similar vision to the former Ophiuchus, and may even have a similar bloodline to him, you are much steadier in doing things and can listen to opposing opinions better, it's just..."

"No, no, I'm just afraid that things will go wrong if I don't change well, so I'm more cautious."

Seeing the topic start to move toward himself, and fearing that Director Taurus would react and discover that the people in the Bureau who opposed him were already gone, Leon hurriedly opened his mouth to change the subject:

"By the way, Lord Taurus, if this is really the Ophiuchus Director from the past making trouble, does the Bureau have anything that can restrain him?"

"This one actually has..."

Hearing Leon's words, Director Taurus said with some hesitation:

"Although the Ophiuchus's plan back then didn't succeed, he had already combined himself with 【Crimson Blood】, and the heart of the Crimson Master has a natural suppression effect on that thing... But what do you mean by asking this? Are you planning to go over to help?"

Leon couldn't help but be slightly startled upon hearing this, and then frowned and asked back:

"Then what do you mean... you think I shouldn't intervene in this matter?"

"I can't say very well..."

After looking at Leon again, Director Taurus said stutteringly:

"Leon, you have the bloodline of the East Calewin Kingdom, and judging from your style of doing things, the bloodline concentration is likely not low. You are likely related to Ophiuchus. Olivia refused to tell you, likely because she didn't want you to get involved, so..." "So I still have to go."

Interrupting Director Taurus's words, Leon frowned:

"Among the four disasters notified to us by the former Aquarius Director, the crises in the Northern Kingdom and the Witch Kingdom have been lifted, and the royal family of the Thousand Sails Kingdom has been wiped out. Currently, three have been fulfilled. This is likely the last disaster he predicted."

"And after the Dead Realm was taken down, Sagittarius and Pisces were left in the Dead Realm, Cancer is busy inheriting the 【Belly God Prison】, you are seriously injured and have to sit in the headquarters, and Capricorn took six Zodiac Bureau Chiefs to the Heaven Mountain. Currently, the only ones who can move in the Bureau are me."

"But isn't Olivia already..."

"Lord Taurus, I don't doubt the Bureau Chief's ability, but we can't afford any more mistakes."

Looking at Director Taurus, who was still hesitating, Leon reminded:

"After the royal family of the Thousand Sails Kingdom all died, the protection effect of the Watchtower has been severely weakened. If the West Calewin Kingdom has problems again this time, the protection effect of the Watchtower will regress again, reaching a level that allows ordinary True Gods to enter and exit freely."

"Before Capricorn and the others come back, there are only three directors and six Zodiac Bureau Chiefs in the current world, and there is even one Edward. The defensive power is seriously insufficient, so we must make full preparations to ensure that the royal family of the West Calewin Kingdom will not have problems."

"Fine, you are right..."

After listening to Leon's analysis, Director Taurus couldn't help but sigh, nodding in recognition of his analysis.

(Content omitted for brevity)

"Then I will take you to take... To take the heart of the Crimson Master, it needs the consent of more than four directors. The tokens of Sagittarius and Pisces are in my hands, Cancer also handed over the token to me for custody, and counting you, it is exactly five people... But you must be careful."

Looking at Leon with worry, Director Taurus urged with unease:

"Although they are all Pillar Gods, the Crimson Master, as one of the Supreme Four Pillar Gods, is very different from the Void of Description you defeated. Even if it is just a heart that has been drained of blood, there is no small risk in contacting it rashly."

"I suggest that you maintain the heart lake authority you have mastered from now on, pay attention to your heart lake at all times, and once you find signs of being affected by it, seal the heart of the Crimson Master again immediately. You must not be careless!"

Good heavens, is this thing so evil?

Blinking slightly with surprise, Leon seriously remembered Director Taurus's advice, and then followed her into the inner hall of the Taurus Palace.

After taking Leon into the empty inner hall, Director Taurus took out a key, drew a slight line on the floor engraved with the Taurus emblem, and the floor of the inner hall split left and right, revealing a narrow corridor extending downward.

"Below is the secret treasury of the headquarters."

Stepping on the narrow corridor spliced by countless huge keys, Director Taurus walked slowly toward the underground under the gaze of one by one pitch-black keyholes, introducing warmly while walking:

"Because the secret arts of the Taurus Palace and the Aquarius Palace require a large number of materials, the key to the secret treasury of the headquarters is generally held by the Taurus Director of each generation. If the Taurus Director is vacant, it is held by the Aquarius Director."

"Leon, remember, if something happens to me one day, or if I don't choose a successor when I die, then you take the key to the secret treasury. As long as you hold the key and draw a line on the emblem at the corresponding position of the Aquarius Palace, you can open the road to the secret treasury... Arrived!"
