Chapter 53: A Harbinger of a Break
In the infirmary, Lin Moyang had already completed the infusion, and his hands had finally changed from black and purple back to normal color, but the bruises under the skin had not yet dissipated, and he still needed to slowly eliminate these bruises. Now Lin Moyang's hands are covered by bandages, and he can't see any skin, and the whole person has a pair of mummy claws.
Lin Moyang tried to squeeze his fist, everything was normal, but he was a little weak, and due to the damage of the meridians, Lin Moyang's qi now ran to his arm at most, and the self-recovery ability provided by the qi was suppressed, Lin Moyang now only felt that his ability to recover from the wound in an instant was like disappearing, and he only felt that the recovery speed of the wound was slow.
Moiraan sat quietly beside Lin Moyang's bed, and now there are two girls sitting at the head of Lin Moyang's bed, one is Lilil, who is noisy and energetic, and the other is Moira, who doesn't talk much, just looks at Lin Moyang quietly.
Lin Moyang felt that his head was big.
"Let me think about how I can make Sue happy, Sue looks like he's bored. Liliel looked at Lin Moyang's depressed expression, as Lin Moyang's number one licking dog, of course she had to think of a way to relieve Lin Moyang's boredom, if it weren't for Moira next to her now, she wouldn't be able to show her driving skills, she would have soared a long time ago.
"Well, Your Excellency Sueyang, you can take out your mobile phone and take a look, although the auction has not officially started, there are already some retail investors who have begun to conduct free auctions on it, you can take a look. Moira reminded.
Lin Moyang took out his mobile phone, this damn mobile phone is still hot touch screen, and he can't press it through the bandage at all. Liliel looked at Lin Moyang's impotent and angry look, sneered, turned on the glove mode of her mobile phone, and then handed it to Lin Moyang.
Lin Moyang looked at his phone, Liliel actually downloaded the app, and the avatar was still a big headpost, named "Midnight Girl". No need to click, Lin Moyang has been shocked by the blood-red 99 in the private message mailbox, it seems that they are all idiots who saw this avatar and came to tease their sisters. The people who use this app say that there are not many people, and they say that they are a lot less, and they can get together so many private messages, this guy is really amazing.
Lin Moyang ignored this group of self-conscious idiots, clicked on the browsing window, and sure enough, some strange things had begun to be sold in bulk, that is, there was no rolling list during the free auction, and there was no progress broadcast, it was all up to him to check, not so much an auction, but a stall to sell groceries.
"What is this, a magic photo signed by Principal Merlin, with a video of the Principal's blessing? This must be a student of Merlin College. What is this? The automatic shoe-shine potion, which only needs one drop, can polish your shoes whiter than a beauty's skin, is alchemy used to do this kind of thing?" Lin Moyang hugged his mobile phone and smiled, the things on it were strange, and they were not as solemn as Lin Moyang imagined, there were always strange things that appeared in this kind of free auction, such as a merchant with glasses, who was selling an alchemy potion that could make the hair not warp, I heard that it was still an ancestral formula, and the popularity was quite good, and each bottle of silver coins sold a lot.
Lin Moyang had to complain about every thing he saw, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't use these things. As for Carter's request for him to buy it, since Carter himself is here, he doesn't need to do it for him.
"Well, it's all fun, but I don't really want to buy it...... Wait, what is this? It's familiar?" Lin Moyang's eyes swept over the list of goods, he was suddenly stunned, and reached out to click on a certain product.
"Genuine China imported five thunder charms! Produced by China Longhu Mountain, the town house wards off evil spirits, and the evil turns into good fortune, and the xx master personally opens the light, and the Chinese magic appliance dai buyers escort you! ”
Lin Moyang's mouth never closed after he opened wide, and the owner of the shop also posted a particularly angry selfie on the picture of the store, this is a foreigner with five big and three thick, it seems to be a Russian hunk, it is estimated that he is a bad man, but this Russian hunk shaved his head and wore a robe.
Lin Moyang's snot bubbles were almost burst with laughter, especially the comments below the store and the doubts, or the shopkeeper's style is really handsome.
"I can't do it, what's there to sell here...... It must be fake, right?" Lin Moyang pointed to this shop and smiled, this product can't even tell the difference between a Taoist priest and a monk, it can really make people laugh to death, if Master Shi sees it, it is estimated that he will have to be warned by a letter from a lawyer of King Kong.
Lin Moyang turned a few more pages, not to mention, there are really many merchants selling Chinese magic weapons, and the sales are okay. It is estimated that they are all rubbing the popularity of China's mysterious world. What kind of gossip mirror, peachwood sword, Lin Moyang himself didn't know where to use it, and he didn't think that foreigners had already completed the one-stop service from wholesale to retail, so they were almost not installed.
After turning a few pages, Lin Moyang realized that he still needed to buy something, otherwise it would be too boring, so he clicked on a clothing store.
"Do you still sell Taoist robes here?" As soon as Lin Moyang entered, he realized that this shop selling clothes didn't seem to be very clean, it was full of various styles, painted dragon and tiger Taoist robes, and the picture was sandwiched between a pile of wizard robes, which was very eye-catching.
"Suo, don't buy clothes in this kind of place, under normal circumstances, these wizard robes are overstocked, they are all dumped by wizards near Inverness, the quality is not guaranteed, and Moyang, it's not appropriate for you to wear wizard robes, right? Liliel commented pertinently, "You're a hand-to-hand combat type, not a wizard's robe, and I think this sweatshirt is for you." ”
Lin Moyang looked at Liliel's point, and he gasped.
It's such a domineering clothes, this kind of clothes only the kind of fierce men who have fought millions of dollars dare to wear. It's a yellow jumpsuit, usually only seen on the body of a kung fu superstar surnamed Li who makes a weird roar, or a headshot bride who is armed with a katana and slashes people like chopping melons and vegetables.
"What the hell am I ...... I can't handle this kind of clothes, it's terrifying. "He, Lin Moyang, has always positioned his image as a handsome young man in Xianxia, why did he somehow become a character in kung fu movies, although he has been fighting and wearing casual clothes, but he is not so downtrod that he needs to wear this kind of tights, right?
"Forget it, don't wear this, let's stop looking at the clothes, it's weird, let's look at the food. Lin Moyang said humbly, looking at Lilil's interested look, if she didn't distract her attention, then she might really be coerced by her to wear this kind of shameful clothes.
When it came to eating, Lilil's eyes lit up, this guy wanted to taste all the food he hadn't tasted in years.
"How about this brownie and this fun-looking sundae?" Lin Moyang pointed to the store, and Liliel added excitedly, "All ten!
Lin Moyang was stunned: "Ten servings, all of them!? I don't know, I still think we have a banquet? Can you eat it?"
Liliel proudly patted her little belly, which didn't have a little bit of fat, "The dream demon's stomach is super digestible." ”
"Forget it, spare me. Lin Moyang watched as Liliel cheered and snatched her phone, and got together with Moira to order food, while Moira smiled helplessly and surprised, watching the girl happily discuss snacks with her.
After a while, there was a few knocks on the door of the lounge, and Liliel quickly said happily, "Ah! it's a food delivery......, isn't it?
Lilil's excited words were quickly cut off, because it wasn't the delivery man with a large pile of food floating behind her as she imagined, but Houston with a stiff face and a cold sweat on his face. Search the e-book
Liliel narrowed her eyes and looked at the guy who didn't bring anything, and then she suddenly realized, "You're the chengguan!"
Burst...... Lin Moyang almost didn't laugh, where did he learn this word, is there a chengguan in a foreign country? This Lin Moyang has never understood, but this squad leader is at the level of a security captain at a glance.
"Ah, this lady, I'm one of the five hired wizards hired by the Demon Chamber of Commerce this time, and I'm in charge of maintaining law and order, that, not the chengguan, and I don't care about the order of the market. He struggled to explain, and now that he knew the identity of the group, he only felt his throat tighten, and his tongue was weak when he spoke.
"Okay, come in and talk, don't stand stupidly at the door. Lin Moyang got up from the bed, his two bandaged hands did not affect his normal activities, and he greeted Houston with a smile.
Houston was even more nervous, I don't know if this grandmother is the type who hides a knife in his smile, according to reason, he should be very angry if he provokes him, but there is no at all, but there is no shelf, Houston can't help but think, and when he sits down, Lin Moyang will stab him with a knife.
His Excellency Fenglong's agent can do such a thing, he has the power of the sword of judgment, and he does not break the law by killing people!
"You're here to take notes, aren't you? Then I'll pass down my clothes, and I'll be fine soon." Lin Moyang saw that the law enforcement officers were on the spot, and he was also very cautious, he had not been questioned by such a person, and he was still wearing a hospital gown, so he said this to Houston.
"No, no, no, I'm not here to make a transcript. Houston hastened to explain, a large circle of sweat on his forehead, making the man look a little cowardly.
"That's right, according to the regulations, Your Excellency Fenglong has the privilege of the Sword of Judgment, that is, the power to enforce the ruling without going through the court, without trial, and without the need for evidence, when the other party's guilt is confirmed. So it was clear that his divination magic was out of control, and he was possessed by evil spirits and killed several wizards present, so Your Excellency exercised his power to judge him, which was reasonable and legal, without any problems, without anyone's inquiry, and the case was closed. Houston said that if he knew that this was the agent of the dragon, he would not go there at all, at most he would clean up the body.
The nickname of Fenglong who died wherever he went is obvious to all, anyway, Fenglong has never killed innocent people, all of them are bullies who can't be judged, so everywhere Fenglong goes, the crowd applauds.
"Are you so hasty?" Lin Moyang was shocked by the speed of Houston's case, and he didn't expect a life to be fooled like this, although it was indeed good to say that, Ah Bing did kill innocent enthusiastic wizards.
"Yes, no, no, we didn't verify the identity of the personnel in the first place, which is our biggest sloppiness. Moreover, the Ministry of Magic personnel broke into the security department and wanted to take away your friend, I also reported to the Demon Chamber of Commerce and made a solemn protest, and soon the Ministry of Magic will respond and deal with feedback. Houston said nervously.
"However, since the Ministry of Magic doesn't have the authority to enforce the law here, why can my privileges still take effect here?" Lin Moyang was a little curious, the Demon Chamber of Commerce was not under the jurisdiction of the Round Table Council, let alone a subordinate organization, since they were neutral here, then it was reasonable for Lin Moyang to abide by their rules.
"Yes, the privileges of the members of the Round Table are different from the powers conferred by law, and the laws of the Ministry of Magic are not in force here, so naturally the Ministry of Magic cannot enforce them here. It's like in the real world, the laws of one country can't take effect on what happens in another country. Houston explained that he didn't believe that Lin didn't know about it, and he preferred to see it as a test for Lin.
"What about the privileges of the members of the Round Table?" asked Lin Moyang.
"The privilege of the members of the Round Table is not granted by the Council of the Round Table, but initiated by the Council of the Round Table and voted by all the forces in the wizarding world, that is to say, this privilege is recognized and given by all wizards, and as long as there are wizards, this privilege will take effect, even in the territory of the druids and the territory of the Sea Breakers, because they also participated in the vote in the first place, so the privilege on their territory is still in effect. "No one is dissatisfied with such a privilege, and every member of the Round Table is someone who has proven that he can restrain himself from using privilege with care." ”
Lin Moyang nodded, no wonder the Ministry of Magic doesn't like the Round Table Council, the current power of the Round Table Council is already so great?
"Is the Round Table Council so powerful, but didn't the Ministry of Magic say that it does not recognize the legitimacy of the Round Table Council?" Lin Moyang asked again, he couldn't understand what the relationship between the Round Table Council and the Ministry of Magic was.
"Yes, because there was a Council of the Round Table in England, but this council was accountable to the Ministry of Magic and belonged to an association between a noble family of English wizards. Later, during the First World War, this organization was affected by the war, shattered, and had long since existed in name only, and then the Speaker of the Round Table, His Excellency Merlin, formed a new Round Table Council, which is now an organization composed of all the top wizarding talents in the world, but the Ministry of Magic has always believed that this Round Table Council is a revival of the previous Round Table Council, and should also be responsible to the Ministry of Magic. The Round Table Council operated independently of the Ministry of Magic, and the two sides sometimes cooperated, with the Ministry nominally supporting and endorsing the existence of the Round Table Council. Houston paused, "But every wizard knows that the Ministry of Magic, a British regional organization, cannot compare with the Round Table Council, and the Ministry of Magic has always wanted to prove its dominance over the Round Table Council through so-called procedures and laws. ”
"Isn't this funny? No one else plays a game with you, you have to use the rules of the game you set yourself to force others to obey you?" Lin Moyang said with a smile, this feeling is just like some world policemen who always ask others to obey their double standard policy and interfere in other people's internal affairs, which is simply funny.
The world's police at least have enough strength to do such shameless hooliganism, but the Ministry of Magic is obviously weaker than the Round Table Council now, but it is still so self-defeating?
"The Ministry of Magic relies on the fact that most of their members are senior nobles, with absolute right to speak and blood sources, but now the wizarding world no longer relies solely on blood, wizards prefer to see whether they have really contributed to wizards. Houston nodded, agreeing with Lin's statement, and although the analogy was not magical at all, nor was it a wizard, it made a lot of sense.
"So, you mean, you're now openly supporting the Round Table, aren't you?" Liliel said quietly, not having a snack.
Houston nodded: "Yes, because there are no heroes in the Ministry of Magic anymore, they are all descendants of heroes, but they themselves are just boasting about their bloodline, not thinking that they will do the same thing as their ancestors." Wizards today respect heroes, but not their offspring, unless they are heroes as well. We all support the complete replacement and outlawing of the Ministry of Magic by the Council of the Round Table, an antiquated organization that should have been phased out of wizarding society. ”
"It's all right, I'm not interested in your wizard's business, I only care about why my bread and snacks haven't arrived yet!" Liliel said dissatisfiedly, her angry attitude made Houston stunned, isn't this kind of big event not as important as this beauty's snack?
"Ah, she's like this, don't mind, just get used to it, hahaha, I'm just used to it, doesn't it look cute now?" Lin Moyang hurriedly smiled, but Houston's doubts were even heavier, is this really the agent of His Excellency Fenglong? Why does it look like the style of painting is not the same as I imagined.
"Since you're here, and there's nothing big going on, let's stay here and eat something before you leave, lest you have to travel all the way. Lin Moyang said enthusiastically.
"Yes, Uncle Houston, thank you for protecting me before, you are a man of integrity. Moira nodded in thanks, she wasn't blind, she knew that Houston had been defending him before the Ministry of Magic.
"Uh...... I still don't understand the brain circuit of heroes, maybe that's why I can't become a hero. Houston looked at the mediocre atmosphere in front of him, and could only comfort himself in his heart.
"By the way, I also brought you a list of items for this auction, and you must have come for the auction too, right?" Houston suddenly snapped his head, remembered another business he had to do, and pulled out a rolled parchment scroll from his bosom.
