After tidying up, Alfred walked out of the guest room and came to the hall, and saw a huge round table, on which were placed ceramic tableware with beautiful patterns, and in the middle of the table were eight plates of strangely shaped cold dishes, coiled dragons and phoenixes. Oh my God, anyway, from the looks of it, the old mage was completely unaware of the ingredients used in these dishes.

Seeing Alfred's arrival, Lee led everyone to stand up to greet him, and politely opened the seat of the guest of honor beside him to invite the old mage. "Mr. Muller, please be seated, I'm sorry, I don't know what you like, so I took the liberty of preparing a table of Chinese food to entertain you, I hope you will like it." For this, Li is still very confident, as a German who has a fight with the British recipe, the sumptuous and gorgeous Chinese food should be enjoyed like an emperor, for this meal, he has invited the top chefs in Chinatown.

"You may call me Alfred, Your Excellency." The old master bowed, and this grand dinner made him feel the ancient heritage of this sect even more, at least he had never seen such a dish in a Chinese restaurant in the United States.

Li moved the chopsticks first as the master according to the habit of Chinese food, and watching the beautiful phoenix being clipped, the old mage couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh, oh my God, these works of art just disappeared from our mouths, what a sin. Before he could continue to sigh in his heart, John raised his glass of wine to him: "Your Excellency, I am very sorry for the rude treatment to you a few days ago, I drink this cup to the fullest, I hope you can forgive a young man for his rudeness. After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup, and complained in his heart, eat when you eat, why do you have to learn European etiquette, but according to this posture, the senior brother must be holding back the big move, may the Lord bless the people who are pitted by the senior brother, well, whether you bless it or not, anyway, I believe in Sanqing.

The old mage hurriedly drank the wine in his hand, yes, this is just a reckless little guy, the young man will inevitably have no light or heavy in his hands, what can not be forgiven, not to mention that the two sides were still hostile at that time, at least now this child's polite appearance made him feel good, at this time he had completely forgotten that he was stunned by this reckless little guy in a face-to-face battle.

"Oh, Monsieur Müller, I heard that you were a man of the eighteenth century, and that I happened to be traveling in Europe with my old master at that time, and I remember that the countryside was not yet full of machinery and electrical appliances, and all kinds of life coexisted together, and the sight was very evocative." Fauber, who sat next to the old mage, also began to use his profound insight to bring him into his memories, and as an older Fauber, Alfred felt even more respected.

A dinner party ended under the deliberate welcome of Li and them, the old mage was already drunk and unconscious in the middle of the dinner, Alfred, who had been living on vigilance, had never been so indulgent, the family warmth that he had not felt since the eighteenth century made him involuntarily drink too much, and when he woke up the next morning, he was intoxicated by the feeling of not having to watch out for the people around him, not worrying about any vicious curses.

The emotional offensive lasted for five days, and finally, what little sanity was left forced Alfred to resign to Lee.

"Steve, I have to leave, I've been here too long, the guild will be suspicious." Alfred reluctantly said goodbye to Lee.

"Alfred, I'm sorry that we don't have enough strength right now to help you get out of their grasp. And I wouldn't even dare to give you any kind of magic weapon, that would increase your risk of being suspected by them. Li also apologized to the old mage with a sad face.

"Don't say that, Steve, here I feel a sense of camaraderie and warmth that I haven't felt in a long time, it's more precious to me than anything else, it reminds me that I'm still alone, and even though I'm studying necromancy, I'm still proud of my humanity. That cold association made me feel sick, and it was strange that I used to think that was home. For your safety, I must go back. Even if it were death, I wouldn't put my friends in danger. ”

"Actually, I have an idea for you to explain this without revealing yourself." Lee smiled again.

The old mage's eyes lit up, after all, no one wants to die if he can live, "Tell me, Steve, I still admire your intelligence." ”

"Well, you know, I have a teacher who helped the U.S. government, and I think he might have crossed paths with your association." Listening to Li's words in his ear, the old mage couldn't stop nodding. Looking at his obedient appearance, John, who was sending the plane together, secretly said in his heart, of course there has been an intersection, senior brother saw it from your memories at all, so there can be mistakes. However, how many earth-shattering things the master did back then, it is estimated that he can't remember it himself.

Seeing the old mage enter the boarding gate, John put his hands behind his head and laughed: "Senior brother, you have successfully rebelled against an enemy, I admire this too much, in just a few days, you can make us have a reliable undercover agent, amazing." ”

"Destroying an enemy doesn't have to be from the top of the day, the best way is to make him a friend, so that the other party has a little less strength, and we have a little more strength, this is the best way to fight the enemy." Li smiled and turned around and walked out with him, and when he came to the outside of the airport, he looked at the east and said to himself, "This enemy is not easy to deal with, it seems that you need to improve your strength again." ”

In Detroit, Michigan, in the basement of an old building, Alfred reported to a crystal ball: "I arrived in Chicago, explored for a week or so, and finally got information from a few remnants of the Skull Gang. They used the Stone of the Dead in a gang fight, but an old Chinese man broke in and cut it in half with a sword. According to them, the old man didn't seem to be a local, and after cutting down the Necromancer and using it, the old man disappeared, and then their entire gang was wiped out by the rival gang without a leader, which was a fragment of the Necromancy Stone. The old mage placed the two dark crystals that had appeared in the Skull Mansion in front of the crystal ball.

Looking at the smooth facet on the undead stone, the humanoid black shadow that appeared in the crystal ball obviously fell silent, and after a long time, the black shadow said in an old voice: "Alfred, you did a good job, from now on, give up infiltrating Chicago for the time being." The black shadow paused, as if to explain his previous words, "Although there is no need to be afraid of an unknown old man with the strength of the association, caution has been the foundation of our association for so long, let's wait until we investigate clearly." ”

This old guy really suffered a lot from Steve's teacher, Alfred thought to himself. It seems that the old mage who had been with Li and them for a few days had also become a little smarter, and he could see something in the tone of the speaker on the other side of the crystal ball.

The crystal ball lost its light, and the speaker in front of it picked up the phone, dialed a number, and when a middle-aged man's voice came out of the microphone, he said into the phone in a stern voice: "It's me, haven't you been able to control that department?" ”。“ Waste, you are a bureau chief, and you can't control a small department under zhì, what's the use of us holding you up? ”。“ Don't make so many excuses with me, even if you can't control that department, you have to find a way for me to find out a person's information, yes, that old Chinese man, if you can't do it, you think about the consequences yourself. ”

"Help me book a plane ticket to France." The speaker who hung up the phone picked up the internal phone and gave the order, after which he stroked a scar on his right hand that seemed to have been burned by flames, and a red flashed in his eyes. His gaze looked at the sky through the window, and a dark cloud drifted over the sky, blocking the moon and plunging the whole land into darkness.
