Chapter 52: Making Connections

With dark blue eyes and almost black eyes, and a rare inch of hair from high-ranking people, Junas Korg walked up to Daun Dantès with a glass of champagne and said with a slight smile:

"You had good luck today and you were full of courage. ”

If it means that the next hand after receiving a "bribe" tends to fold directly, preferring to lose the blinds, it is not by luck, but by knowledge...... As for the rest of the time, playing a game of cards with you is about to use up the luck accumulated by the "winner" Nyuni in the past few days...... Klein shook the glass containing the light gin in his hand and sighed and smiled:

"For a person who doesn't care about the result, of course there is no fear of any fight.

"Oh, praise the goddess!"

He is using Rune-style subtlety to show that he is mainly here to lose money today, and his luck is too good because of the blessing of the gods, and it has nothing to do with himself.

Chunas didn't lose much tonight, only one or two hundred pounds, although this is a lot compared to his salary on the surface, but for a major general deputy director of MI9, a hidden demigod, the salary is only the most insignificant part of the income, so he didn't care, shook his head with a smile and said:

"Human beings have never been able to see through the arrangement of fate.

"You're an interesting person, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

His last sentence was half praise and half politeness, and that was the end of the conversation.

However, Klein "performed" for a night, in order to get to know the demigod of the "Black Emperor" path, how could he give up, first responded with a sentence of "I'm also glad to know you", and then asked casually:

"Your Excellency, do you know anything about the manor on the outskirts of Beckland? ”

According to the information that Klein received from Miss "Justice", the deputy chief of the major general, Chunas Korger, did not like to hold banquets, balls, and salons in his own house, and rarely accepted invitations in this regard, because of his personality or his special position.

His preferences are very simple, one is to smoke cigars, especially the "chief cigars" produced in the East Bailang Micoent, which is recognized as the best cigar in the world, the second is to like to play cards, mainly in Texas, and the third is to love hunting, and often go to the suburbs of Beckland in autumn and winter, and even in Ahowa, East Chester County and other places to hunt.

Originally, Klein had planned to buy a manor purely to integrate into high society, and he had not yet considered this, but after meeting Chunas Korg today, he temporarily added corresponding needs, hoping to arouse the interest of the other party, and when the time comes, maybe he can invite the deputy chief of MI9 to hunt in the suburbs, spend a pleasant weekend, and look for opportunities to do it.

Chunas Korg took a sip of champagne and thought for a moment:

"I'll keep an eye on you, and if there's a suitable one, I'll send somebody, go, it's Berlund Street, right? Well, go there and tell you. ”

"Thank you very much. Klein replied sincerely.

At the same time, he felt pity in his heart for Richardson, the former personal valet who had just become the butler's assistant, this eager young man had recently gone out early and returned late, collecting information for the employer on the estate in the suburbs of Beckland, to see which ones met the requirements and which had the intention of selling, and did on-the-spot surveys one by one, so as to ensure that there was no problem with every option submitted in the end, and the employer could not let the employer fancy which one from the information, and specially sent someone to ask only to find that others did not want to sell at all, or the actual situation was very different from the description of the information.

And after Klein made temporary adjustments, all the work Richardson had to do before will undoubtedly have to be reversed.

The first party of all evils...... Well, when this is done, let Tanya give him a 5 pound annual salary increase, and the butler's assistant will of course earn a little more than when he was a valet...... £5, in today's game, one or two raises are gone...... Richardson's salary for a year can also play a few hands...... Crane sighed silently, and suddenly noticed that there was a gaze on him.

Undisguised, he looked back and saw that it was Admiral Emilius Levitt.

The old-fashioned and serious middle-aged man bowed his head lightly and withdrew his gaze, without any intention of communicating with Dwayne Dantès, nor did he call someone to arrest the Wild Extraordinary, after all, this is a military partner, and it is not too uncommon for a businessman and adventurer with extensive connections in the Southern Continent to obtain potions by chance.

Just then, Colonel Calvin and Congressman Mahert walked up to Daun Dantès, each with a glass in hand.

"How so?" Calvin asked, in a low voice, rather helplessly.

Since Dawn Dantès had won nearly £1,000, he and MP Macht had to change their strategy from cautious to unrestrained in order to prevent Admiral Emilius from losing, and each lost several hundred pounds, which was quite painful.

In this way, together with the losses of others, Admiral Emilius won two or three hundred pounds in the end.

In this regard, Klein spread his hands:

"I didn't even look at the hole cards!"

The implication of his words was that it was purely the favor of the gods in the realm of fate.

So far, gods, angels, and "hidden beings" who have authority in the realm of fate include, but are not limited to, the "Goddess of the Night", the "Fool", the "Serpent of Mercury" Will Unsetin, the Parles Zoroaster, the "Blasphemer" Amun, and the "Angel of Destiny" Ulorius.

"It's a really distressing thing. Councillor Macht shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Calvin and I are too afraid to go home after losing." ”

They lost almost half of what they earned in a year on the surface.

Daun Dantès, who had gray sideburns, looked at him in surprise when he heard this:

"When did you lose?"

He then pointed to the stacked chips in front of his place and said:

"I only managed to keep the £1,000 I originally bought, and the rest is yours. ”

Colonel Calvin and Congressman Maher were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and smiled one after another.

"It's because we played too nervously and miscalculated. Calvin nodded approvingly.

Crane laughed, immediately diverted the subject, and looked for a supper on the coffee table next to him.

............

Silver City, inside the round tower of one of the twin towers.

Derrick Berg was briefed on Colin Iliad, the chief of the Council of Six.

"You said you have something to ask?" Colin, who had a lot of old scars on his face, looked at the not very tall boy opposite him and asked calmly.

Derick bowed and replied calmly:

"Yes, Your Excellency, my promotion to the 'Priest of Light' requires being in pure darkness, but once I enter the darkness, it will be very dangerous, and I don't know how to solve this problem. ”

Colin Iliad listened attentively, nodded and said:

"You need to make sure that it's pure darkness or darkness without light? There's a big difference between the two concepts.

"If it's the latter, you can get it by going to the dungeon at the bottom of the Round Tower, and you've been there for a while, you should know what I'm talking about. ”

Darek had a deep fear of the dungeon at the base of the Round Tower, where he first met Amon the "Blasphemer", and not only saw the mutated former exploration team leader, but also suffered from parasitism, and he really didn't want to think about it unless necessary.

At this time, after being reminded by the chief, he slowly mobilized the corresponding memory, and found that at the bottom of the round tower, although candles were distributed in each cell, once they burned out, they could only wait for the guards to bring food and potions to ask for them—this was not very often, only three times a day, with long intervals in between.

And in this environment, phenomena such as monsters appearing and humans disappearing out of thin air have never appeared.

Darerick remembered a time when he had watched the darkness without encountering any danger.

He thought for a while, then hesitated and said:

"In the lightless darkness at the base of the round tower, there is extra power?"

Is it this power that resists the tendency of darkness to disappear and give birth to monsters?

Colin Iliad looked at the two straight swords hanging crosswise on the wall, bowed his head slightly, and sighed:

"Yes, so it is called darkness without light, not pure darkness. ”

Darek's brow furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a few seconds, he said uncertainly:

"If this is the case, the darkness outside the bottom of the round tower is not pure darkness, many historical classics record that the night before the deep dark era will not disappear like evaporation, nor will it bring monsters like breeding, and the current darkness must have undergone a mutation, or there will be a mixture of other forces to become dangerous. ”

"Yes, to be able to relate to this means that you have improved...... That's why I ask you, do you need pure darkness, or darkness without light?" Colin's pale blue eyes showed a slight sigh.

This...... Could it be that there is only pure darkness outside the "Godforsaken Land"? Derick was gloomy for a moment, and then he cheered up and said:

"Your Excellency, I don't know much either, I'll need a while to be sure. ”

He believed that the Tarot members, such as Mr. "The Hanging Man" and "Mr. World", who had a wide range of knowledge and experience, would find a good solution.

Colin Iliad didn't ask much, nodded and said:

"Go ahead.

"In Sequence 5, even if you can't become a demigod for a long time, you will still have a chance to take charge of certain seals. ”

............

Beckland, Hilston, Hugh changed into a brown jacket and a peaked cap, and pretended to be a normal short man.

She has been formally commissioned to follow down the gentleman named Ernes Boyar, and several bounty hunters are involved in this mission.

Ernes Boyar lifted his top hat on his head, pointed forward with his cane, and instructed the coachman:

"Go to St George's district. ”

It is located southeast of Beckland, separated from the East by the Tasok River.

After getting into the carriage and sitting down, Ernes sniffled, looked out the window, and snorted suddenly.

As a Viscount of the Blood, how could he not find the stalk of a crappy bounty hunter?
