Chapter 19: A Brief Crisis
On the top floor of the small building, a man with black hair and brown eyes, wearing dark clothes, looked down at the arms trade not far away for a while, and couldn't help but speak:
"He's looking for Mesanyes? Oh, the storm is on top, Alfred, we might as well do this task ourselves, even if we deduct all the expenses, we can earn at least 20,000 pounds!"
Next to the man was a young man in a black trench coat, twenty-three or fourteen years old, with brilliant blond hair and blue eyes like a lake, and he was quite good-looking.
Hearing this, he shook his head and said:
"No, that's too conspicuous, Mesanyes' position has always been vague, and it is very dangerous to rush to him about an arms deal until his attitude is known, and Dawn Dantès can earn 20,000 pounds because he dares to take risks. ”
The man with black hair and brown eyes suddenly said "heh":
"Alfred Hall, who led dozens of men and dared to attack an army of thousands, said that he did not dare to take risks!"
Alfred glanced at him and said:
"It's not the same thing, Pagni, that time because I was sure to take out their headquarters, and once there is no organization, a thousand broken soldiers may not be as good as a thousand pigs.
"In addition, this transaction itself is a kind of temptation, a part of the establishment of contacts and laying a 'pipeline', if it is completed by us, then who will we contact next time? What about the next time? If we continue to do it, we will always reveal our identity, and in that case, diplomacy will be passive, and as the transaction deepens and expands, it may attract the attention of the demigods of certain forces, and it will be dangerous at that time. ”
"Haha. Pagani laughed, "How can a demigod be so free to pay attention to such a small arms deal? There are only so many demigods in each faction, and there are too many things for them to do!"
"I know, I'm just giving an example. Alfred replied calmly.
Pagani didn't dwell on this anymore and turned his attention back to Dawn Dantès outside the warehouse:
"This gentleman is said to be very generous, and not long after arriving in Beckland, he donated more than ten thousand pounds worth of shares to the Church of the Night, which is what you often call an upfront investment?
"Also, he seems to work in the same charitable foundation as your sister, tsk, such a man is very popular with girls, good-looking, outstanding temperament, brains, experience, skills, and countless women he has seen but he has reached the age when he should settle down, Alfred, you have to tell Audrey more that a playboy is always a playboy, and that misconduct is a shortcoming that cannot be corrected in a lifetime, and that Beckland's most dazzling gem cannot be stolen by this kind of guy. ”
Alfred glanced sideways at Pagni:
"I don't need to worry about this kind of thing, Audrey is not a young and ignorant girl, her knowledge of the world is far more mature than you think, and my father, my mother, both in Beckland, is capable enough to prevent some bad things from happening. ”
Speaking of this, Alfred looked at the munitions warehouse not far away, paused, and said:
"It's Hagis from Mesanyes, and I'm going to say hello to him. ”
It's not a good time to meet, is it...... Just as Pagani was about to speak, Alfred turned and walked down the stairs.
............
Klein, who had taken the form of Daun Dantès, without a servant, himself took a gold-encrusted cane, and stood outside the door of the storehouse with Haggis, the representative of Mesanyes, and watched as crates of arms were carried out and put into the carriage.
At that moment, he half-turned his body as if sensing it, and turned his gaze to the other side.
What caught his eye was a young man in a trench coat without a hat, his blond hair slanted back, his blue eyes like a lake under a clear sky, his slender and well-proportioned figure, and his every move had an indescribable sense of majesty, even if there were no soldiers around, it also intuitively presented the meaning of authority.
"Alfred!" Haggis shouted in a slightly surprised voice, noticing the gentleman as well.
Alfred ...... second brother of Miss "Justice...... This feeling is very similar to that of the "arbiter" approach...... Crane raised his right hand, removed the top hat from his head, and pressed it to his chest as a gesture of appreciation.
After greeting Haggis, Alfred Hall turned to Daun Dantès:
"Your character is so praised in Backerland that even I, who am in East Bailang, have heard of it. ”
Character?Is it the character of arms trafficking? Klein sneered, and laughed:
"I just did what I thought I was supposed to do. ”
Alfred nodded:
"I don't think I need to introduce myself, do I? Haggis should have told you about me. ”
"Yes, Colonel Hall. Klein responded with a smile, "I also came here to learn that Miss Audrey also has an older brother in the Southern Continent who served in the army and made a lot of contributions. ”
Alfred's gaze swept over Dawn Dantès's face and digressed the subject:
"I originally thought that you would take the opportunity to work in the 'Rune Charity Scholarship Fund', but I didn't expect you to choose to come to the Southern Continent. ”
Crane kept the smile he had just put and said:
"It's very difficult for an outsider to really get into the circle with just donations, charity, banquets and dancing. ”
Alfred gave an "um":
"Very sane. ”
After a few more pleasantries, he asked Haggis:
"What happened in Kukwa some time ago? ”
Haggis smiled and said:
"I didn't know, but we all hid under the General's Mansion at the time, but later I heard that there was a thunderstorm in the area of the Resurrection Square. ”
"Thunderstorm?" Alfred's gaze turned to Dawn Dantès again.
Klein nodded and said:
"Indeed, the hotel where I was staying was not too far from the Resurrection Square, and I saw a series of lightning strikes there, all during the day. ”
Alfred's gaze shifted to Haggis again:
"What does the final scene look like?"
"Most of the place collapsed and shattered, and there were traces of lightning strikes everywhere. Haggis didn't hide anything.
Alfred bowed his head slightly, pointed to the side, and said to Haggis and Dawn Dantès:
"I still have some things that I will have to talk about when we have a chance to meet in the future. ”
"See you next time. The Crane top hat responded, as if he was in a social situation, not outside an arms warehouse.
He was waiting to see Alfred Hall leave, his body moving slightly, and his head suddenly turned to the other side.
............
In the primeval jungle where there are everywhere in East and West Bailang, a figure bends over and slowly outlines it.
He had a fleshy face, brown skin, loose clothing, a sword at his waist, and a silver-white mask in his hand.
Glancing left and right, the figure straightened up little by little, as if it was Ludwil, the "Admiral of Hell" who had entered the underworld before.
However, at this time, there were two blood-red flames burning in his eyes, which were completely different from before.
"I'm hungry...... Ludwell's mouth opened and he let out a sigh that seemed to come from his chest.
He then looked in a certain direction and said to himself:
"There is the owner of this secret puppet, and fate has made them meet again.
"He's got an item from the 'Hunter' pathway, just in time to replenish it. ”
Before the words fell, a bloody mouth suddenly cracked on Ludwell's left cheek, and he opened and closed:
"Medici, the first thing we need to solve is the existing problem! After this secret puppet has completely lost contact with its master, it is equivalent to a real death, and the remnants of the spirit will soon return to the underworld, unable to maintain the body, and without the support of the underworld in his body, we will inevitably begin to weaken until it dissipates!"
"Yes, the most important thing at the moment is to find other 'gatekeepers'. A mouth also appeared on Ludwell's right cheek.
"Red Angel" Medici suddenly sighed:
"Sauron, Einhorn, did you two be women in the past? The angel personality has been thrown into the toilet bowl by you! That guy can fight against the '0-08' arrangement several times, which shows that he is not simple, how can you let him go if you have this opportunity to lock him? When this secret couple is completely gone, there will be no such easy thing!
"Moreover, the 'Hunter' Pathway item on his body can effectively increase the duration of our existence, and it is not too late for him to find a new 'Gatekeeper' when he is solved. ”
The bloody crack on the left side of Ludwell's face immediately sneered:
"Medici, have you sacrificed your brains to the 'True Creator'? That guy has obviously been promoted, and in our current state, it is not difficult to defeat a 'Sorcerer', but it is almost impossible to kill him!"
Medici was not annoyed, and said with a low smile:
"It's not impossible to solve it, as long as you ask me to recite the Lord's honorable name, a helper will come at once, and maybe even bring your own 'janitor'. ”
Ludville's mouth on the right side of his face immediately opened and closed:
"Sauron, we join forces against him, to find the 'janitor'. ”
"Good. Ludwell's left mouth replied without hesitation.
Seeing this, "Red Angel" Medici laughed and said:
"You two have been fooled! My plan has succeeded, I'm sure you two used to be women!"
Ludwell's mouths on the left and right roared:
"Shut up!"
"Hmph, we've been together for two thousand years, and it's not clear what you're up to?
As he spoke, the colors around "Admiral Hell" Ludville instantly became thicker and layered together.
He had entered the spirit realm and began to shuttle.
............
Outside the munitions warehouse, Klein finally retracted his gaze, and the premonition of danger was gone.
- At that moment just now, he was inexplicably frightened, but he couldn't present the corresponding picture in his mind.
"What's the situation?" Crane muttered to himself silently, no longer waiting, and threw the suitcase in his hand to the officer who handed him over, and then said to Haggis next to him, "The rest is your own business, you can give me the final payment." ”
He was referring to a heavy chest full of gold bars and coins.
Haggis had planned to have a drink with Dwayne Dantès after the closing was completed to celebrate the success of the matter and discuss possible future deals, but he did not expect the other party to leave in such a hurry.
"Okay, it's in that carriage. He pointed.
Alfred, who had already walked some distance, also looked back in surprise, wondering why Daun Dantès suddenly did not follow the scheduled process.
