Chapter 177
Arios said: "Based on the rumors I have heard, I am afraid that even I may not be able to defeat them. ”
"How could it be, even the Sword Saint of the Wind can't match it?" said Lloyd.
Michelle said: "Well, in my opinion, the victory rate of the two sides is about five to five, after all, the types of battles and the areas that swordsmen and mercenaries are good at are very different. ”
Randy: "Indeed, although you are indeed strong, Uncle is also a monster in the true sense of the word... ”
"If there is a head-to-head battle, I am afraid that no one can guarantee that they will be able to escape. ”
"Well, I understand. Oth said: "But once the situation is critical, when it is time to make a move, I will not be polite." ”
"The key question is, what is the purpose of their coming to Crossbell?"
El: 'Well, that's the point. ’
Watty: "I've gathered some information, but I still don't know what to do. ”
"It seems that the only clue we have so far is that they have something to do with the Empire, right?"
"Well, there's another piece of information that I'm really concerned about, and that's what Oss learned. "Michelle said.
"What information?"
"It's about Black Moon, it seems that there is some kind of deal going on with the elders of Black Moon on the other side of East Street. ”
Lloyd: "Really?"
Ellie: "Speaking of the elders of the Black Moon, Tai's grandfather is one of them. ”
"yes, and the other person who is leading this transaction is a woman named Kirika. ”
"What, is she?" said Lloyd.
"It's the mysterious dark-haired sister who will appear at auction. Waji said.
"Well, she actually used to work as a receptionist at the Chase branch in Liber. "But she quit a year ago and went to Rock Smith, the intelligence agency on the eastern side," Oth said. Oas said.
"That's right. ”
"I've heard about the newly created intelligence agency. Ellie said, "Wait a minute, didn't the Red Constellation and the Black Moon fight before? ”
Waji: "Hehe, the two camps have clear barriers, and they seem to be ready for confrontation." ”
"Is it to fight here?" said El.
Michelle said: "This possibility is not impossible, especially since tomorrow the big men of the empire will come, and the forces in the east will also have big shots visiting." ”
"Maybe the two sides want to take advantage of this opportunity to do something unspeakable. ”
However, they did not hide their secret contact with the red constellation and the black moon, which is somewhat abnormal. Arios said.
"Once the Black Moon and the Red Constellation make a move, their backing will be exposed, and this will definitely be criticized, and I am afraid that they will not be willing to take such a big risk.
Ellie said, 'Indeed, neither side should have attacked so hastily. ’
"But how to explain it. ”
"Damn, uncle, what the hell are they trying to do. Randy said.
"Anyway, we're going to have a critical piece of the puzzle we've done with our intelligence, and if nothing else, we should have a crucial piece that hasn't been achieved. Lloyd said.
"It has to be found as soon as possible. ”
Ellie: "Hmm. ”
"Hehe, that's it. Waji said.
Michelle said: "Actually, we are thinking the same thing, and we are currently looking for that critical piece of debris through the association's intelligence network. ”
"That's right. Lloyd said.
"So, if you know something, can you tell us?" said Randy.
Michelle said: "Once new progress is made, I will definitely contact the headquarters." ”
"Please let us know if you find anything, this is also to spend the three days starting tomorrow in peace. Oth said.
"Understood. Lloyd said.
Ellie: "If I find anything, I'll let you know right away." ”
After that, Kia and Xiaoyu returned to the association accompanied by Zeit, and in order not to disturb the time when Xiaoyu and Osi's father and daughter were alone, Lloyd and the others said goodbye to Arios and the others on the pretext of going back to dinner, and returned to the support department.
"By the way, Kia, you're going to go to the roof of the department store with Xiaoyu tomorrow, right?" said Lloyd.
Kia: "Well, it's called the unveiling ceremony, right? ”
"That's right, but Xiaoyu can't see the unveiling ceremony. Ellie said.
"Yes, but she wants to feel the atmosphere. Kia said, "As for what the unveiling ceremony will look like, I'll tell her." ”
"That's right. Lloyd sighed.
"That kid is so strong. Randy said.
"Randy, you've been running out of energy. Kia said.
"Haha, what's wrong, I'm still as handsome as usual. ”
"The seniors were handsome, and now the term is outdated. El said.
"Hehe, it's quite energetic to pretend. Waji said.
'Damn, you juniors are not allowed to interject. ’
"Haha. Lloyd laughed, "Randy, don't get into the nitty-gritty." ”
Ellie: "Yes, at this time, you should rely on us alone, and don't fight everything alone. ”
Randy said, "Haha, I know, after all, they are my relatives, and I would love to have a heart-to-heart conversation with them." ”
Ellie: "This. ”
"Isn't it too dangerous?" Lloyd said.
"It's okay, I know them, and my uncle said he had something to talk to me about, but then the news came out, I went to the old site in Rubahhe to look for him, and he pretended not to be there. Randy said.
Lloyd said, "That's right, don't worry, everything that should come will come back." ”
"I'm hungry, does the section chief seem to be coming back late today?" said Randy.
"Yes, they're going to arrange tomorrow's unveiling, I'm afraid it's going to be late. Lloyd said.
"Hehe, in that case, how about we go out to dinner today?" said Ellie.
"It's not bad to go out together once in a while. ”
"Then go to the restaurant next door or the hotel on East Street," Waji said. ”
"Well, now put your things back in your room, then pack your bags and let's go. Lloyd said.
At this time, suddenly Cai Te shouted vigilantly.
"What's wrong?"
"Well, it's saying there's a guest coming. Kia said.
"Guest?" Lloyd said.
Randy walked in with a bad look.
"Anyway, let's go in first. Lloyd said.
After entering, the red-haired girl was sitting in the hall.
Lloyd said, "What, Randy's cousin. ”
"Hey, hey, hello everyone, I'm Shelly. Xie Li smiled friendly and greeted, "You guys are so slow, I can't wait, you're annoying." ”
Randy said expressionlessly, "You, why are you here?"
"Brother Randy is so ruthless, why aren't you happy at all in the face of your lovely sister who has been absent for 2 years. Shelly grumbled as she smiled.
"Tell me, what the hell are you doing here? No, what are you doing here?"
"Brother Randy, you're too slow, if I had set up the mechanism before, you'd be dead the moment you entered the door. ”
Shelly naturally said murderous words, glanced at the people in the support department, and finally stared at Randy's taut face, the corners of her mouth raised a mocking smile, "When did you become so useless!?"
The atmosphere was perhaps because of Shelly's momentum and dangerous aura, and the scene instantly became quiet, and the ticking of the clock hanging on the wall could reach Lloyd's ears.
"What do you say ... Lloyd looked at her, his hand unconsciously close to the waist where the guard stick was placed.
"Hehe, don't worry, I didn't have any traps. Shelly said lightly as if she was catching up with an old friend, "If Brother Randy is the only one, he can play this kind of game as before, unless in a war, we won't involve ordinary people, Brother Randy, are you right?"
Waji let out a sigh of relief and said, "Another problem child." ”
"Your name is Shelly, isn't it?" Lloyd said, "Let me introduce myself, I'm Lloyd from the Support Section." ”
"Ah, hello hello, I was really embarrassed last time, well, according to the formal parlance, it was rude. ”
"This is the department building of Crossbell's Support Section, and the sofa you sit on is also an item purchased at public expense, and you actually say that you are trapped, involved in ordinary people, etc., in front of children, do you want to control such inappropriate speech? ”
"I'm sorry, I'm just missing my brother so much that I wanted to play around with him. ”
"Hmph, will you miss me? Randy said in a deep voice.
"That's right, Dad didn't tell you at the time, I have something to talk to you about, and I'm probably going to be busy from tomorrow, so I hope it's set for tonight. “”
Xie Li said seriously, "By the way, you can refuse." ”
"Heh, if I refuse, you will definitely do nothing, I have already seen through your style of doing things. ”
Randy's brows furrowed, he didn't believe a word of what Cherry had just said.
"Hehe, it looks like you're back in shape. Instead of being angry, Xie Li smiled softly, her smile was unusually enthusiastic and energetic.
Then she said, "Daddy, I'm waiting for you, what do you think?" ””
"Hmph, okay, I'm sorry I won't be here for dinner today... ”
Before he finished speaking, Kia on the side interrupted him: "Randy, Randy, is this sister a bad person?"
She looked at Xie Li with some uneasiness, the aura emanating from the other party's body and the words she said reminded her of the thunder on a rainy day, as if something bad had happened.
"Kia, go back. "Lloyd and Ellie, step forward to protect Kia.
"It's too much to call me a bad person. Shelly sighed in disappointment, and she looked at Kia, "Huh, who is this, it's too cute, isn't it?"
"She is the child of our family, if you dare to touch her, I will kill you. ”
The first time Randy said something terrifying, his eyes flashing like beasts, flashing with a devouring light.
"Ahaha, I see. Xie Li smiled as energetically as usual, and said, "Maybe I'll try it, haha, just kidding." ”
"Alright, that's it, don't worry, I'll be back tonight. Randy turned and said to the group.
Ellie: "Yes, but. ”
El: "Isn't it too dangerous? ”
Lloyd thought for a moment, looked at Randy and said, "Why don't you go with you too, and say hello to them by the way?"
"Huh?" everyone present was amazed, this Lloyd was so bold.
"As the captain of the Support Division, it is also basic etiquette to say hello to the relatives of my colleagues. Lloyd said seriously: "Moreover, it is a good study to be able to go to a high-level club. ”
"Hey... Little brother, you are really very interesting, and the opportunity is rare, so let's come together. Shelly agreed, and she glanced at Lloyd with interest.
But he sneered in his heart: This is Brother Randy's companion? Is this kind of place because of this man's presence that Brother Randy has such a sense of belonging?
Then let's see, what kind of ability this man has, if it's just a straw bag, then kill him and persuade Randy's brother to come back.
Waji said: "Hehe, can you add me to the senior club, I also want to see it." ”
"Of course the handsome guy is welcome. Xie Li said without thinking, and then she took a closer look at Waji and said, "But is it the little brother or the young lady?" ”
"Hehe, let's be a little brother. Waji replied lightly.
"What are you all talking about? Randy grimaced and said, "Shelly, don't make your own decisions. ”
Shelly didn't answer, she ignored Randy, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll send a car to pick you up, by the way, are the two sisters coming? ”
"Ellie, El, you and Kia stay for dinner. Lloyd said, "Also, don't forget to contact the section chief, Zeit's here to ask you to guard before the section chief returns." ”
"Ao. ”
Ellie wanted to say something, but Lloyd shook her head at her, she bit her lip and said, "Okay, I see." ”
Seeing this, El didn't say anything more.
"Lloyd, are you going out?" asked Kia, with wide eyes.
"Well, the three of us have something to do, maybe we'll have to come back later and go to bed early. Lloyd touched Kia's cute little head and solemnly promised, "We will be safe"
Hearing this, Kia smiled happily and nodded heavily, "Well! Be careful on the road." ”
Then Lloyd and the three followed Shelly out of the support section office building and into the street outside, where a pair of luxurious guide cars drove over.
The car is of a high grade and is elongated.
"This is a high-end guide car from Fortune. Waji said.
"Hmph, I've already purchased this kind of luxury car. Randy said angrily, "Looks like business is good." ”
"Haha, it's all thanks to you, we made a lot of money. ”
The car stopped in front of the four people, and with a click, the door opened, and out of it came a man with a tiger's back.
"Miss Shelly, you've worked hard. He respectfully walked up to Shelly, then he turned his gaze to look at Randy, "Young Master, you haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Gareth, long time no see. Randy nodded slightly, this is a cadre who has been following the mercenary group since before, so he is naturally familiar with him.
It's just that Randy doesn't want to have anything to do with it before anymore, so he immediately added, "Also, don't call me young master." ”
"I think you've heard about Lord Balde, and I'm so sorry for his passing. ”
Gareth looked sad and said sincerely.
"Hmm. Randy replied softly, he didn't know what to say about his father, who had parted ways with him.
