The Turning Gears Chapter Seventy-Three: A Change in the Situation
The Knower stepped out of the elevator door, and the office was still as he remembered it, and Galahad stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The mad-eyed man walked quickly up to Galahad, and he was half-kneeling on the ground in obedience, and although there was still that frightening madness in his eyes, the man greeted in a rough tone: "It's been a long time, wise man!"
"Little wolf cub~ Can't you be gentle with the old man? Every time I see you, it's like you're going to kill someone, and people who don't know still think you're an assassin~ Okay, okay, laugh one, laugh one~" There were a few more people in the office after a while, and the first person to speak was a little Lori with a ghost mask, she jumped behind the true knower, and stretched out her little hand to pat the back of the true knower, looking particularly intimate.
"Hmph, you two crazy people are together again, and I really feel like my SAN value is dropping. You two freaks had better kill each other one day. A straight man standing against the wall in the corner said with a big grin, it was Yelig, the skygazer who had cooperated with Natasha before.
Ifrit immediately jumped in front of Jelig and kicked Jelig in the knee with her shin, and stepped on his toes.
The moon frowned, but since Galahad didn't speak, she couldn't react at the moment, and when the sun and the moon appeared at the same time, the moon would lose its brilliance.
"How rested. Galahad asked, speaking to the True Knower behind him.
"Alright, thanks to you, the wise man, I've figured out a lot of things again, do you want to make another bet, let's do it again!" said the True Knower with a cruel grin, he really wanted to use his young body to unscrew the head of the wise man in front of him now, but such a victory would be degrading his glory, not to mention that the moment he made his move, he would be beaten into a tattered corpse by the moon next to him.
"Now that you're still in your service, what are you betting with me. Galahad said without looking back.
"The old rule, if I still lose, then I will do my best to serve you for another year, if I win, then I will still serve you, but after you die, your pilgrim must be handed over to me. The True Knower said with a frantic expression, and hearing his words, Jelig shook his head helplessly, while Ifrit ran to the Knower with concern and touched his head: "Little wolf cub, your brain is not burned out, I heard that you have been losing for several years, you have lost from 16 years old to 28 years old this year, are you still not giving up?"
The True Knower gritted his teeth, and he said coldly, "I don't believe that you are flawless, everyone has their own weaknesses, and I don't believe that my wisdom will be inferior to yours. ”
"Yes, I accept your challenge, but I have one condition. If you fulfill this condition, I will make a bet with you this year. Galahad said in a flat tone.
"Of course, I won't ask you to agree to my request so emptyly, you locked me up for a year after I lost to you last time, and I didn't use it at all this year, I don't want your charity. The One Who Knows said nonchalantly.
"You're going to command an operation for me, I'll give you five S-Class Operators, and you'll have to deal with this incident in secret. There must be no civilian casualties, no mysterious leaks, no extermination of non-hostile targets, and no casualties. Galahad commanded, and the Knower listened nonchalantly to Galahad's request.
"No wonder you wake me up, such a simple task, it is indeed appropriate to hand over such a waste to me without the help of a wise man. The True Knower smiled wryly, but he was actually scolding himself for saying this, which surprised the others present.
"It's over, old man, the little wolf cub's brain is burned out, and he's starting to say he's a waste, why don't we send him to the Death Department for treatment first?" Ivlit suggested uneasily when she heard the words of the Knower.
"No, he is a waste, and he does what he can, as pilgrims have always done. Galahad still said mercilessly, as soon as these words came out, Jelig's face turned green, and they all said that he Jelig had a big mouth, and he couldn't imagine that His Excellency Galahad spoke straighter than him?
How do you know that after hearing this, the true knower is not angry but happy, and the crazy look on his face has dissipated a lot, although it is still with outright hostility, but the young man has already laughed: "That's right, I am indeed a waste, but now this task, except for me, this waste is suitable, no one else can use it, right?"
Galahad said approvingly: "You are the second wise man of the pilgrims, and you are the candidate for the machine variable star, if it weren't for your bet, you would have been a machine variable star by now." ”
"Hmph, I'm not uncommon for a mere eight-star position, how can the light of the spark be compared to the sun, what I want is to replace you! Before he finished his cool speech, he was knocked on the head by Ifritt again: "It's not uncommon, but the bet is lost every year, and you work for the old man for nothing every year, I said, if you want to work for the old man so much, how about you simply become a machine changer?"
"To put it bluntly, you are not the same as an admirer of the old man, but you are a little arrogant and refuse to say it, you bet every year, and you lose every year~" Ifrit poked the waist of the true knower and said with a smile.
"Nonsense, I just recognize the ability of the wise man, but sooner or later he will be defeated by me, and I want to prove that I am the first wise man in the world. The Knower retorted.
"Alas...... This kind of 'Lord Galahad can only be defeated by me' child's play, even I won't play anymore, okay......" Ifrit circled around the Knower in dissatisfaction: "Little wolf cub, do you think you have a few percent chance of winning the old man now." ”
“...... One...... Ishikasui. The True Knower was asked by Ifrit, and his face immediately turned red, and he held back for a long time before he could hold back such a word. He is a wise man, not a reckless man who goes up to the top and does not exaggerate his abilities in order to fuel his momentum, and Ichisei is still the ideal estimate for him to take all the luck components into account.
"Haha, Issei, even if I play a game, I won't choose this kind of game to play, so you'd better change the way you play, right?" Ifrit laughed innocently.
"How big do you think the gap between yourself and Walter is now?" Gallahad suddenly asked, "I have given you all the data and intelligence on the confrontation between Walter and me, and you have carefully studied and deduced it over the course of the year. How big is the gap between you and Walter now?"
The True Knower was stunned and said, "Walter the Conqueror, the first wise man of the blood clan, of course I have studied him, his style is exactly the same as that of you the wise man, of course he is a good imaginary enemy. But he can't compare to you, not one in ten thousand, if I fight him, only luck can affect the success or failure between us, and the others are five or five, after all, I am a waste, and I only deserve to be compared with such a waste. ”
Jelig didn't know for a while whether the Knower hated Galahad or Galahad's brainless licking dog, although he said that he wanted to defeat Galahad and take the pilgrim for himself, but this guy was still a good hand at patting sycophants, not to mention that these sycophants were still filmed by him with an expression of wanting to kill, and he was worthy of being one of the craziest people at the Round Table, and the brain circuits of this group of mad madmen were not something that normal people could understand.
"Hmm. I know, the task details have been pushed to you, no one in your office has moved you, you can start working later, go down. Galahad ordered.
The Knower was first stunned by Galahad's attitude, and then, as if he had thought of something, he nodded, and rushed to the elevator door, pressing the down button as if a ghost was chasing him from behind. As soon as the elevator door opened, the bloodshot man quickly slipped into the elevator door.
Ifrit tilted her head to see the True Knower leaving, and she asked, "Now, old man, since the little wolf cub has been released, can I play with him when I have nothing to do?"
"Don't do it, you pilgrim madman duo are mixed up, and you may blow up the headquarters one day, and if you want me to say, Your Excellency Galahad should forbid the two of you from contacting, lest you make any big mess. Jelig said with an unkind face.
"Ahh
"What a madman, one who doesn't know what he's calculating every day, and who plays war as a game every day. Jelig complained while dodging Ifrit's stomping attack that it still hurt a little to be stepped on by this little Lori.
"Ifrit, how's the battle going on the Holy See's side?" Galahad ignored Lori's coquettishness, and asked in a cold tone.
"Those guys have secretly joined a few mercenaries on the battlefield through other channels, through the channel of the United States, but no problem, the troops of the Scorching Department have been assembled, the war elites of the four security companies and the elite toys of my subordinates have been put on the battlefield, and the secular forces of the Holy See should soon be crushed by this war. Hearing Galahad's question, Ifrit clenched his small fists excitedly, "It's just that this group of Holy See is really not high in combat effectiveness, and it is not as good as the group of terrorists on the Middle East battlefield at the beginning." ”12
"Give you a month to see the secular side of the Holy See appear at the next round table. Galahad ordered.
"Do you have a limited-time mission! I like it~" Ifrit nodded excitedly,
"Jelig, how is the analysis of the divine power data progressing? Galahad asked Jelig.
Jelig snapped and stood upright, and reported in a nervous tone: "Yes, the progress of the analysis of the characteristics of divine power is a little slow, divine power violates scientific laws, and then it has a weakening effect on magic power, and it is difficult to detect the nature with magic power, but I have already submitted all the first batch of materials to the researchers of the Changing Sky Department, and Changing Sky Star said that the first batch of formal prototypes of divine power weapons can be made in half a month at most." ”
Receiving the answers from the two eight-stars, Galahad nodded, and he said, "Go down." ”
Jelig and Ifrit saluted at the same time and walked to the elevator.
"Month, I have a special task for you. Galahad waited until the people in the office were only a moon left, and then spoke slowly.
The internal arrangements of the pilgrims were not clear to the three people on Tristan Island, and they were still discussing the issue of Nirin, but after a while, they could not come up with a reason, so the three of them put the topic on hold for the time being.
"Sueyang, your craftsmanship is awesome, even better than the most authentic Chinese food I've ever tasted. Green forked a slice of back to the pot with a fork and put it in his mouth, and he exclaimed unpretentiously.
"You probably haven't eaten authentic Chinese food, but those Chinese restaurants in foreign countries are authentic, just selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. Lin Moyang said proudly. Discussing what to save the world, what gods to revive, for him, or the sense of reality is too thin, he always can't think of himself as a member of the relationship between Green and Taylor, this kind of serious discussion of things similar to magical plots, he really has no sense of participation. It's still this kind of cooking, chatting with friends that makes him happier.
Over there, Liliel was stuffing something into her mouth, and Lin Moyang felt that the oral structure of this blood clan must be different from ordinary people, otherwise how could she be stuffing, chewing, and swallowing at the same time.
Just thinking like this, Lin Moyang saw Liliel suddenly patting her chest, her hand scratching on the table in a panic, and only after grabbing a bottle of wine did she take a big sip, showing a relieved expression. Lin Moyang handed over a handkerchief and motioned for Liliel to wipe her shiny little mouth. "You better eat slowly, no one will rob you, don't become the first blood clan in the world to choke to death after eating. ”
"Hmm! roar...... ......" Liliel said with a thumbs up, something still in her mouth, and she mumbled out.
"Okay, okay, I know, chew slowly, chew slowly......" Lin Moyang watched the starving ghost Liliel keep destroying the dishes on the table, and he felt hungry.
At this time, Xia Ni came down from the upper floor, she first sniffed, and then looked at the dishes she had never seen before, and she asked in surprise: "Is this my brother inventing a new dish again?"
"Hahaha, it's not, your brother and I are not so powerful, this is the hometown dish made by this adult, it tastes great, how is your health?" Xia Ni's brother was also at the dining table, he was sitting in a wheelchair, and there was a plate of home-cooked crispy fish made by Lin Moyang with the sea fish sent by the sea breaker in front of him, but I don't know if there is a difference in taste between sea fish and river fish in this dish.
"It's so fragrant, I'll taste it~" Xia Ni's face was much better, and she could see that Nilin's potion was indeed useful, which made Green quietly give Lin Moyang a look.
Xia Ni made some shredded green pepper meat with a spoon, she tasted it, and immediately exclaimed in surprise: "It's really delicious, this guest is so good at cooking?"
Lin Moyang watched these people eat Chinese food with forks and spoons, and secretly thought it was funny, fortunately, after this group of people was distorted, it was the taste of the Middle Ages, how could they have eaten modern dishes of this specification? I really don't know what their expressions will be when they eat Tonio's Heroic Soul cuisine.
"By the way, Sueyang, I decided to go out into the field in the afternoon to see if I could scout the werewolves' movements so that I could report to the lord. Green said, he deliberately used English to make sure that the Xia Ni siblings could hear it.
That's their plan, since Nireen doesn't know if they're distorted, and until the identity of the mysterious witch doctor is confirmed, then they pretend to be distorted, and talk and act like a bit of a medieval figure, so that they can observe Nireen without arousing vigilance.
"Ah~ my friend, your proposal really couldn't be better. Lin Moyang cooperated with Green with a strange expression.
The two were chatting, and a noisy voice came from outside the door: "Is there anything to eat, bring it to me, I'm going to starve to death!"
The voice was still a little familiar, and Lin Moyang turned his head to look, just in time to see Sandru walking into the tavern with a dissatisfied face.
Sandru was in a very bad mood, as a foreign nobleman, this Lord Hetante actually put up a lord's shelf with him, and entertained him with only ordinary apples and bread without adding anything, he didn't move a mouthful of anger, and he held back the fire in his belly. When he got back to town, he wanted to find a tavern to stay in, and he smelled something strange at the door of the tavern and walked in.
Then he saw the Chinese sorcerer and his friend, and the pretty maiden sitting at the table, talking and laughing, eating. Sandru and Lin Moyang looked at each other, and Sandru hurriedly ran out of the tavern and glanced at the tavern's signboard again.
Damn, why am I going back to this tavern again? Sandru was really bitter in his heart, he was depressed, tired and hungry just now, and he didn't even look carefully at the sign of the tavern, and he didn't expect to meet this mourning star again! However, he really didn't want to leave now, and the aroma wafting from the dinner table made him unable to walk.
"I'm sorry, guest, but our tavern is closed today. Shani's brother said.
"Forget it, it's okay, let this Excellency dine with us. Green beckoned to Sandru at the door, beckoning him to come in and sit down.
"Miss Channie added utensils to the mage. Green smiled at Shani.
Sandru was tired and hungry now, and when he heard Green's polite invitation, and the food on the table was indeed tempting, he was not polite, and walked to the table and sat down, and after Shani brought the cutlery, he was not polite, and served the food on the table to his mouth.
"Well, this is a great cook! I can't see how you can eat so good food in such a small tavern!" Sandru was quickly overwhelmed by the unique dish on the table.
"Haha, it's natural, my friend is a great cook. Green laughed.
When Sandru heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he glanced at Lin Moyang, who still looked at him with bad intentions.
"Did you poison it?" Sandru looked at the dishes on the table, his face turning black with fright.
