There are two large islands in the sea off the west coast of Europe, one is called the island of Great Britain and the other is called the island of Ireland. [No pop-ups.] All of the former, the northern part of the latter and other small islands form a country, the full name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the international commonly known as the United Kingdom. Since England is the center of gravity of the country and accounts for the vast majority of the population, it is customary to refer to the United Kingdom as the United Kingdom for short as in Chinese.

There is an idiom in English: fromjohno'groatstoland'send. It means "from the extreme north of England to the extreme south", which seems quite far. In fact, from Johno'Groats (Scotland's northernmost hamlet) to Land'send (Lands Point at the south-west tip of England), no part of the UK is more than 120 kilometres from the sea. The most famous mountain range in this small country is the Pennines, which runs from north to south and is known as the "backbone of Britain".

The United Kingdom is a beautiful country, with cultural relics and monuments abounding, beautiful natural scenery and rich tourism resources. Many cities, such as London, the "flower of ten thousand cities", Edinburgh, the "Athens of the North", the university towns of Oxford and Cambridge, the quaint Yorktown, and Shakespeare's hometown of Stratford, are all famous tourist cities with world reputations. The UK is also home to dozens of national parks and scenic reserves, including the Lake District. At present, there are 14 places of interest and natural landscapes that have been designated as World Cultural and Natural Heritage by the United Nations. They are rich in characteristics and have their own strengths, and they are all very popular tourist hotspots.

The largest number of lakes in the UK are found in the Lake District, where the poets of the Lakeside School lived, and Loch Ness (Loch Ness), where legends have it that water monsters haunt it. When people think of the rivers of the United Kingdom, it is natural to think of the Thames and Severn, which are spectacular when the tide is high and the waves empty and the sea pours into the estuary.

Carrying a small metal box, Ling Yun stood in front of the "Big Ben" in London on the north side of the Parliament building on the banks of the Thames, his concentration was extremely high, his physical strength was excellent, but his patience was extremely poor.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Ling Yun, no matter who is waiting at the airport for more than half an hour and still doesn't see the person who picks him up, I believe he won't have a good face, not to mention that there are constantly beauties around him who judge him from top to bottom.

According to Shikov's instructions, Ling Yun flew out of France on the night he stole the Pandora Star, and England was the destination of his flight, where he could be guaranteed absolute safety, and he also had to store the stolen Pandora Star in Hell's headquarters in the United Kingdom.

Fiercely closing the map of British history and tourist attractions in his hand, Ling Yun thought about how to fix the middle-aged man when he saw him later, whether to have someone dismantle him and send him to the scrap metal purchase station or throw him into the most uneven Pacific Ocean.

In fact, the Pacific Ocean has the most storm turbulence among the world's seven oceans, but the navigator who named it crossed the Pacific Ocean at that time did not see anything at all, and did not even see a single dark cloud, so he named the ocean the Pacific Ocean.

I was thinking about whether to change places and wait for someone, when I saw a girl wearing a light blue denim suspender skirt, a black backpack on her back, and a pair of pure white Nike sneakers coming to him, grabbing his arm with a very excited expression, and then scanning her eyes up and down and muttering, "Yes, it's perfect." ”

Seeing Ling Yun's surprised look, the girl mischievously stuck out her tongue and took two steps back towards Ling Yun with a cute and charming smile, and then asked Ling Yun politely in extremely proficient Chinese: "Sir, I'm really sorry just now, but can I take the liberty of asking you to do me a favor?"

The girl is very small, only about 1.60 meters, thin gold wire glasses are framed on the beautiful nose, the slightly upturned lips reveal two cute little tiger teeth when smiling, setting off an extremely beautiful and aura face, the shawl hair is tied behind a hairband at will, but there are a few strands hanging down to the ears easily, giving people a very pretty and naughty feeling.

"How can I help you?"

For the sake of the other party is a little beauty, Ling Yun naturally won't lose his temper, but just smiled at the other party very gentlemanly, it seems that in this world, beautiful women with outstanding looks have an advantage no matter what they do, if it was a man running over to pull and pull and entangle, it is estimated that he would have kicked it away.

"I just want to ask you to be my mannequin, I can't delay you for much time, please be sure to agree. ”

While the little beauty directly put forward her request that Ling Yun be her model, she still had a pit pleading look on her doll-like face.

"Model?" Ling Yun pointed to himself, and then repeated a sentence with some amusement.

"That's right, I'm actually a student at the University of the Arts London, and I've been doing my street sketching assignments lately, so I've been looking for ideal materials for art on the street, whether it's landscapes, architecture, animals, plants, etc., but my favorite thing is figure painting. “

Speaking of this, the little beauty also looked Ling Yun up and down with a look like a prey, and then continued: "With my years of painting experience, the temperament hidden in your body is very special, I dare to guarantee that if you are willing to be my model, I will definitely create the best works!"

The little beauty pouted and said proudly, and then she made a pitiful look and folded her hands and asked softly, her eyes seemed to be brewing, it seemed that if Ling Yun didn't agree, it was estimated that she would immediately use her tears to force him to commit it.

"What kind of artistic vision will you have for this little girl, but it is possible to dedicate yourself to art. ”

Although judging by Ling Yun's professional eyes, the fruit in front of him, which seemed to be a little green, would not fully mature in two years, but he could not refuse the request of the beauties, so Ling Yun finally nodded slightly at the other party.

The little beauty jumped up happily, and quickly ran to her bicycle to pull out a chair, asked Lingyun, a temporary model, to sit near a small flower bed, and then took out the drawing tools from the backpack behind her and began to prepare the sketch.

"I'm going to start drawing, don't move. ”

As she spoke, the little beauty symbolically waved her small fist at the strong man who was more than a head taller than herself, and the threat was very obvious.

"Could it be that this little guy wants to go head-to-head with Young Master Ben?"

Although he thought this in his heart, Ling Yun didn't really think that the other party would do such an immeasurable thing, at least before he did something that made the other party's emotions out of control, this possibility was almost zero.

Just when Ling Yun was thinking wildly, the cute little girl had already begun to sketch Ling Yun's characters, only to see that she first used charcoal to outline the other party's face on the canvas, and then enriched the facial features and expressions along such simple lines......

The girl was clearly of the fast gunner type, and it took less than ten minutes to complete the character sketch, and judging by the sunny smile on her face, the sketch was clearly satisfying.

"I hope this little guy's painting level can hit sixty points, otherwise the glorious image of this young master will be ruined!"

Finding that the other party was still there looking at his work with a self-absorbed expression, Ling Yun couldn't help but walk over with some curiosity, as if he wanted to see what kind of appearance the other party had drawn of himself, a tall and mighty, handsome and handsome man, a jade tree in the wind, and a suave super handsome guy, but in the end he was shocked by the image in the painting.

In the painting, I look at the sky with a side face with indifferent eyes, my eyes are deep and long, the corners of my mouth that seem to be smiling but not smiling, the hair blowing in the wind, behind me is the Thames River flowing quietly in London and the thick Big Ben Clock, and the sketch of simple lines of steel like a knife and an axe, but what impresses people is the man in the picture, the kind of invisibly exuded a smart temperament that is difficult to express in words, and the kind of male charm that seems to reveal a little cynicism in the depth, which makes it difficult to take people's eyes off.

Ling Yun stared at himself in the painting, slightly stunned, and then said to the little girl with an almost playful smile on his face, "Do you know who I am?"

"How do I know, are you famous?"

The little beauty obviously didn't expect that the other party would ask this somewhat inexplicable question, so she was stunned for a while before subconsciously shaking her head.

"I'm still a badass, but one day my name will ring in the sky and the whole world will bow to me. ”

Smiling and taking the brush from the girl's hand, waving his hand to write his name in Chinese at the bottom right of this character sketch, Ling Yun reached out and touched the head of the little painter with great aura, and then lifted his box and walked towards a Cadillac RV parked on the opposite street.

And he didn't ask for the other party's name before leaving, because he believed that he and this little guy with unlimited potential in the field of painting would definitely meet again in the near future.

The little beauty did not expect the other party to say that she would leave, a pair of beautiful big eyes stared at the figure of this man who was gradually moving away, only until the other party lowered his head into a lengthened Cadillac RV and left, only then glanced down at the Chinese signatures of the four dragons flying phoenix dancing in the lower right of the character sketch in his hand; Ling Yun.

At this time, Ling Yun, who was sitting in the spacious compartment of the Cadillac RV, was staring at the middle-aged man next to him with a look that was definitely not goodwill, and after taking a glass of red wine from the other party, he smiled and said, "Dear Mr. Middle-aged Man, don't you want to explain the reason for being late?"

Facing Ling Yun's questioning, the middle-aged man who didn't have a look of shame on his face replied lightly, "London is a fog city, and when the fog is heavy, the car naturally drives slowly. ”

In fact, since London moved heavy industry out of the city and adopted the first warming, it has long ceased to be a "fog capital", and only in winter can people find a little impression of the "fog capital" feeling.

It seems that the middle-aged man, since he became the head of the Japanese region, has also improved a lot in his official tone, and has reached the highest level of panic and not blushing without drafting.

The car sped all the way to Hell's headquarters in London, and was watched by more than a dozen dark masters with special abilities and went through more than a dozen security inspections, and Ling Yun, Shikov, and the middle-aged man were allowed to enter the headquarters building.

"It's incredible that Hell Headquarters is located in one of the UK's busiest business districts!"

In the elevator, Ling Yun asked with some incredulity, in his imagination, hell, a dark organization that could not see the light, should not be so ostentatious to place the headquarters in such an obvious place for the enemy to attack.

"Have you forgotten where this is?"

In response to Ling Yun's question, Shikov replied with a smile: "This is the United Kingdom, and the status of Hell in the United Kingdom is the same as that of the Dragon Group in China, so even if it is known where the headquarters is, there will be no threat, because this is our Hell territory." ”

As soon as Shikov's words fell, the middle-aged man next to him added: "I believe that all terrorist organizations in the world know where the vaults of Swiss banks are, but have you heard of the idea of someone going to attack the vaults?"

At this moment, an electronically synthesized female voice suddenly sounded in the elevator, saying, "Shikov, Head of Asia, No. 0052." You have violated the HQ Rule 347 prohibition on smoking in elevators, please smoke out the cigarette in your hand immediately. ”

Snuffing out his cigar, Shikoff made an international obscene gesture towards a camera set up in the upper right corner of the elevator hall, though he knew it didn't make sense for a computer.

After a while, with a crisp sound of 'ding', the elevator stopped on the twentieth floor of the basement, Ling Yun roughly estimated according to the speed and time of the elevator just now, this place is at least fifty meters deep underground, and it is no wonder that they are not worried about being attacked by hostile groups with heavy weapons.

Because the underground business fifty meters deep underground, it is basically completely immune to the external attack of simple heavy weapons, and there is probably no organization in this world that has the strength to forcibly attack the Hell Headquarters from the front.
