Chapter 53: Relational Households

Turn back to the other side. Hellgo, the www.biquge.info of the Fun Pavilion, led a group of guards straight to the entrance to the courtyard of a huge new factory in the southern part of Bagram.

Six bodyguards wearing sunglasses, black suits, and shiny black leather shoes stand guard at the entrance to the factory courtyard. One of the bodyguards, the leader of one of the bodyguards, saw Hergo and his gang approaching, stretched out his hand to block the baron's path and shouted: "Stop! Guards are not allowed in! ”

Hergo ordered all of his henchmen to stay, and then stepped into the courtyard alone. I saw that under the spur of the overseer holding a long whip, groups of slave workers were sweating desperately pushing, and the human generators shaped like millstones were constantly rotating, relying on their own physical strength to generate electricity.

Hergo walked up to an overseer and asked politely, "Where is the alchemist?" ”

When the overseer heard this, he raised his hand and pointed to the largest factory in the courtyard, and replied, "There it is." Hellgo walked briskly to the door of the factory.

I saw a tall man wearing a high black top hat, a black tuxedo, and glasses with opaque round lenses on his face, a tall figure, white gloves on his hands, a neat bow tie around his neck, and a long cane hanging from his right upper arm; The whole body was like a divination shape, and the man leaning straight and straight on the door frame of the factory gate pinched the brim of the top hat with the thumb and forefinger of his right hand, and lifted it slightly upward; It didn't seem to even glance at Hergo, so he asked unceremoniously:

"Skinny monkey. What are you doing here? "Because, the opaque round lenses on this person's glasses are unidirectional. So, no one else can see where his pupils are looking.

Seeing this, Hergo was unusually humble, and hurriedly nodded respectfully and said, "Master." I am hereby ordered by His Excellency the Governor to invite you and the two alchemy masters to participate in the **** party that will be held at the Governor's Palace tonight. ”

When the tuxedo man heard this, he leaned against the door frame without moving, and continued to advise without even squinting at Hergo: "I am not a master. The master alchemist is also busy. . ”

When Hergo heard this, he refused to give up easily and tried to step into the factory, and at the same time bewitched the other party: "For the little ones, you are all masters. There will be a lot of beauties at the party, and you will be happy to be satisfied. ”

The tuxedo man stood up silently and suddenly, and grabbed Hergo by the throat with his left hand; Like carrying a duck's neck, he easily lifted the other party's feet off the ground in mid-air, and said a chilling warning in a cold tone: "Thin monkey." Didn't you understand what I said? That guy White hired us. It's not you and Gerritt that fat pig. If you dare to get in the way of us, break your neck now. ”

Helgo suddenly felt like he was having trouble exhaling, as if he had been choked by a large steel tong; While desperately slamming the other party's fingers with his two hands, he begged for mercy loudly with all his might: "Understand... Understand... Got it, wow! - Spare your life! ――...”

The man in the tuxedo scolded: "Get out!" I saw that he shook Hergo lightly and threw him five meters away. The baron, who had fallen to the ground, got up from the ground in a state of embarrassment, and was so frightened that he did not even dare to turn his head back and fled into the desert.

A few days later, suddenly boom! There was a loud bang. I saw a very large black smoke rising slowly over the southern city of Bagram. Almost all the people in the city heard this loud noise, and when they saw the smoke, their hearts were extremely afraid.

Lying on the silk mattress of the Spring Palace with extravagant patterns, accompanied by several high-end prostitutes, Glitter, who was sucking in the powder of bliss, couldn't help but open his two eyes in horror, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter!?" "The Governor, who was drunk at the **** party, smoked Bliss Powder wildly, which led to drug addiction, and he had taken all the high-class prostitutes as his concubines.

A guard in charge of guarding the door immediately looked out the window, then stood outside Gerritt's bedroom door and loudly reported through the wall: "It's the factory that has an accident." ”

When Glitter heard this, he didn't feel the slightest worry about this, and closed his eyes again: "Let it go." That place is not under the authority of this governor. ”

In the southern part of Bagram, the largest factory in the courtyard has been reduced to rubble. Large puffs of smoke rose from the ruins.

I saw that out of the ruins came a bearded man, with an unusually large figure, black leather shoes with a big head, a steel helmet on his head, goggles made of transparent fiberglass on his eyes, a huge rucksack full of tools on his shoulders, a blue coarse cloth overalls and a plaid shirt, and an alloy steel wrist in his right hand.

A middle-aged man covered in black smoke was holding a metal strip with his white-gloved left hand;

Walking towards the tuxedo-wearing man who had guarded the door earlier, he muttered to himself, "It seems that it will be mass-produced." Such accuracy is not enough. "This man is the master alchemist.

The man in the tuxedo is clasping his hands in front of his chest, his body spotless; Like a divination shape, leaning straight against the door frame of the half-section of the factory that falls down at the touch of a button; Hearing this, his neck didn't twist towards the alchemy master, and his eyes didn't seem to squint or look at the other party's inquiry: "Still can't be mass-produced?" ”

The alchemy master also seemed to be talking to himself, staring intently at the metal bar in his hand, and replied: "It's not that there is no way to mass production, it's that the accuracy of rifling is not enough." Ammunition also does not have handmade stability. No, it explodes if it's not stored properly. ”

His so-called handmade refers to the effect of high-level alchemists, who use spells to adjust little by little. Crafting a Magic Bullet Launcher in your hand is extremely inefficient. A high-level alchemist can only complete one stalk a month, and as for ammunition, it is even more difficult to get one, and it takes three days to make one.

The tuxedo-clad man chimed in: "This work is far from being as simple as imagined. ”

The alchemist still stared at the slip in his hand, and replied with a very serious attitude: "Of course. This is science, the embodiment of alchemy after it has been developed to the extreme. Science is the most rigorous and meticulous work, and there is no room for error. Therefore, we need to rebuild the factory as soon as possible and continue the trial. So he and several of his alchemists (strange-looking guys in black robes) began to rebuild the factory on the same day.

Next. Under the luxurious robe he wears, he tied a cloth pocket stuffed with a large ball of cotton around his waist to pretend to be a beer belly; With a large fake beard glued to their faces, Hanks and Crimson Flame, who had been disguised in such a disguise, rode into the five carriages of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce and drove into the northern city of Bagram City. After stopping the carriage at the post station, the middle-aged uncle led the group to the south gate of the inner wall; Tell the guards guarding the gate that Cliff of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce has made a special trip to visit His Excellency Governor Gerritt.

A herald quickly informed the Doge's palace of Cliff's arrival. When Glitter heard the news, he dressed in a panic and called his nephew, Baron Helgo; He led a group of entourages out of the house, ready to entertain the visiting colleagues of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce with the highest standard.

When he left the house, Gerrit asked Hergo in a whisper: "It seems that the Di Tar who boasted about the sea mouth has really failed." How do we deal with this Cliff? ”

When Hergo heard this, he replied with extreme contempt for Ditar: "It's no wonder that Ditar doesn't lose that waste." Cliff is the president's appointee. Those who are good do not come, and those who come are not good. We need to be careful. He still clearly remembered that Di Tatar had messed up his own affairs before, so he was not optimistic about this person at all.

Glitter was still relieved to remind: "But Di Tartar was recommended by the alchemy master and was favored by the duke." If he wasn't sure, he wouldn't have been sent to do it. ”

Hergo's self-righteous justification: "That alchemist is also a braggart." What kind of test weapon, isn't it gone forever? The factory also exploded. The Duke is also not sure, everything is more accurate than anyone else. When Glitter heard this, he felt that it did make sense, so he did not ask any more questions.

As a result, Gerrit ordered the guards to let "Cliff" and his escort into the southern part of the city. The Governor then met Cliff in the square in front of the residence. The two sides showed each other the tokens representing the identity of the merchants of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, and exchanged pleasantries: "Fortunately, fortunately..."...

Then, in disguise, Hanks, in disguise, presented the must-have meeting gift to Gerrit (a rare treasure left by Cliff) in accordance with the rules of officialdom: "This is a little bit of my heart when I first arrived, not a tribute." Please be sure to smile...""Sir, why are you so polite..."... Since Hanks had already dressed up in disguise, and he was not impressed by the middle-aged uncle in the first place, Hergo couldn't see anything unusual about "Cliff".

Next, Hanks told Gerrit that he was ordered by the chairman to go to Bagram to conduct market research, in order to make the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce have better development prospects in Bagram, and by the way, he was responsible for dealing with the trade between Lars and Bagram; As for when he will leave, he will wait for the president's notice before making a decision.

Although the middle-aged uncle is only a military general, because he often accompanies Tina to contact high society, he is familiar with the etiquette and polite words of the nobles, and he does not seem to have stage fright at all.

After talking like this for a while, Glitter tested "Cliff": "Excuse me, sir." Now the world is uneven, and there are bandits all over Bagram. Why didn't you send someone to inform the Governor before you came? so that the Governor may send troops to meet him. ”

Hanks replied very measuredly: "I'm just a grass man." How can you send someone to trouble Your Excellency the Governor because of such a trivial matter? ”

Glitter tried to get the words out of Cliff's mouth: "That's not true. The Governor is responsible for maintaining order and law and order in the region. You are also a distinguished guest who has been entrusted by the President to Bagram to conduct official business. As a Governor and a fellow of the Chamber of Commerce. The Governor has this power, and he also has the duty to send troops to escort the gentleman all the way. Didn't Mr. meet any bandits along the way? ”

Hanks had already answered this questioning: "It's not that I haven't met bandits." It's that the bodyguards around me all have special skills. In the middle of a dense forest, we once captured a robber who called himself Ditar. Standing in front of the middle-aged uncle, Gerritt couldn't help but sweat oozing from his nervous forehead when he heard this. The group saw the other party's gaffe in their eyes, and immediately understood that Di Tatar's assassination of Cliff must have something to do with the governor.

Hanks continued: "I see that after he was caught, he looked pitiful; So he gave him a few gold coins, and let him go back to his hometown. Then Gerrit asked the middle-aged uncle some more questions about Lars's business development. Hanks, who knows Lars' situation well, answers all the answers. Let both the Governor and Helgo be convinced that the man in front of them was Cliff himself.

Because both groups of people are wary of each other. Hanks then took the initiative to humbly propose: the group can find a hotel in Beicheng District to stay. Gerrit also didn't want "Cliff" and others to stay in the southern city, so he didn't say anything to stay. Then, the middle-aged uncle and his entourage found a large hotel in Beicheng District and stayed there. When the governor heard the news, he immediately sent a large group of officers and men to change their guard day and night, and to take turns to garrison the door of the hotel; In the name of protecting VIPs, they are actually monitoring "Cliff" their every move at any time.

Hanks after they left. Gerritt asked Hurgo in a whisper, "Titan is a cowardly and incompetent waste. What should we do with these people? ”

When Hergo heard this, his eyes flashed fiercely and replied: "Cliff is a businessman of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce like us, and he is also a celebrity among the presidents. So we must not do anything in Bagram. We have to wait until they are out of the city, and then find a chance to do it quietly. ”

Unwilling to give up easily, Gerrit asked further: "Do you just let these people go unwanted in the city?" You must know that Cliff is the Duke's sworn enemy. ”

Hergo replied with a grim face: "Of course not. Send someone to closely monitor their every move. Once it is discovered that Cliff has any contact with the rebels and is plotting against him. We can justify them. ”

Gerrit further asked: "What if they have nothing to do with the rebels?" ”

Hurgo, who was often beaten and scolded by Glitter and was full of resentment, did realize some demonic survival wisdom: "Wouldn't that be better?" As long as they are willing to stay honest, they don't cause trouble for us, and they don't interfere with the Duke's plans. We should let these people go first, and then go back and slowly clean them up after we have dealt with the rebels of the Mercenary Association. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. ”...

As soon as she settled down in the hotel, Crotty gathered all her companions except for McNugget into her room, and bluntly admonished everyone: "It seems that Glitter was indeed involved in the murder of Cliff, and has bad intentions towards us. Everyone should be careful in the future. Don't cause any trouble until the day of President Andy's public execution; And don't try to make contact with Leonard, them, or the Mercenary Guild. ”

Hearing this, Duodu, Malone, McLew's eldest brother, Howl, Parker, and Carly agreed, "Yes." "Okay." "I listen to you." "No problem." "We'll do it." "Is anyone that stupid?" Angeline was silent, acquiescing.
