Chapter XXXVII
It was a seemingly ordinary statue.
It's even a little rough, as if it were the work of a person who has just learned to carver.
Therefore, the whole statue looks like a person, but its facial features are blurred, and its movements are not clear enough, and it can only be seen as a sword-wielding figure.
Moreover, he still holds a sword with both hands.
As for the blade?
It was wide and heavy, with a slight decoration on it, a bit like a flame, and a little like a mist.
It was too crude, and Simily Ryder was completely unrecognizable.
If that's all there is to it, Simil Ride naturally won't care.
But just now Qin Ran said that this is Mordin's work!
Mordin!
For ordinary people, this is just a master carver.
But for those who know some insiders, this is really the most concerned existence since the end of the Pope's period.
Powerful!
That's how the other person is described!
And with the annihilation of the Amy Ade Sect overnight, it has become extremely mysterious on the basis of its own strength!
Powerful and mysterious, nature is fascinating.
As far as Simmilede knows, at the beginning of the Federation, there was already a so-called 'Mordin Group'.
Those people were independent of the rest of the organization, and were directly involved in investigating Mordin, and, at any time, anyone who encountered this group had to be the main one of them.
It was during a mission that he learned of the existence of this group that Similede gradually understood the meaning of the word 'Mordin'.
Then, in life and tasks, he subconsciously collected Mordin's information.
But!
Similede was certain that the information he had gathered did not include the statue in front of him.
Unfinished work?
Still is......
Imitation?
Similede thought subconsciously.
He really wanted to discuss with the person in front of him, if he could let him take a closer look at this statue, preferably with his own hands.
But he didn't dare.
He was afraid that he would not be able to get out of the room if he made such a request.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency 2567."
"I don't know much about that Master Mordin."
"I can't make out which of the statues is the work of the master."
Simi Ryder said truthfully.
And, I didn't dare to say anything like imitations.
Who knows if saying this will cause Qin Ran's anger?
When it comes to life, Similee has always been extremely cautious.
"Is that so?"
After Qin Ran finished speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for Similede to leave.
Similede could clearly see the disappointment on Qin Ran's face, but he didn't have any intention of staying, as if he had been pardoned, Similede withdrew from the room and walked out.
Although he had come here on a mission to investigate, the statue carved by Mordin was enough for him.
As for finding out more?
No, you don't.
A score of 100 is too high, and a passing grade is just right.
Retirement is the king.
Leaving 17 Langton Street, Similede returned straight to the inn where he was staying, and began to write a report on what had just happened, and handed it through a secret channel.
The information handed in by Simmile quickly appeared in the House of Commons through a network of channels.
Confederation, House of Commons.
Somewhere in a hidden office.
Three old men with different images and postures sat at the triangular table, flipping through the documents in their hands.
"Unknown statue of Mordin?"
"It should be unfinished work, right?"
A bald old man said subconsciously.
"It's also possible that it's a copy."
"A lot of people are proud to be able to emulate Mordin."
Another old man with a white beard disagreed.
"Now that the statue of Mordin has appeared, then, it will not matter to us after that, just leave it to that group."
"They're the professionals."
"And we?"
"Let's move on to 2567."
A fat old man came to a conclusion about the newly appeared statue of Mordin, and then took out the information about Qin Ran that Similede had originally submitted.
"An assassin of the utmost kind!"
"A space transcendent who can hold living things!"
"And ...... Plimpton! ”
"This Mr. 2567 is more complicated than we thought!"
The bald old man laughed, revealing his white miserable teeth, as if he was a hungry wolf who chose to devour people, and at the mention of Printon, there was a real killing intent in his eyes.
"Don't worry!"
"Printon we'll clean up sooner or later!"
"Now it's more important to get more information about Printon from his mouth."
The fat old man was obviously the leader of the three, and as soon as his words fell, the bald old man restrained his killing intent.
"That's right!"
"It's been ten years since our last liaison disappeared from Princeton!"
"Although we continued to send out elites afterwards, we lost all news as soon as we infiltrated Plimpton, and it became a forbidden place for us!"
"We urgently need someone who knows the place well to tell us what's going on there!"
The old man with white hair nodded in agreement.
"We shouldn't have agreed to that plan in the first place!"
The bald old man thought of something and shook his head angrily.
"It's happened!"
"What we need now is remedy!"
"Instead of self-pity!"
The fat old man said in a deep voice.
"I'll give Similed an order to get as much information about Printon as he can from that 2567's mouth."
"We can trade with that 2567 for that."
"He seems to be interested in Mordin's statue?"
"You know, we have a lot of Mordin's unfinished work here."
As he spoke, the fat old man seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
The two old men next to him immediately realized something, and at the same time laughed out loud with bad intentions.
No one likes to be pinned down by more people.
Especially those who are already in high positions.
They prefer others to listen to them rather than for them to cooperate.
So, if they could, the three councillors wouldn't mind giving these people some trouble.
For example......
'Mordine Group'!
It doesn't take much, according to the information they have, once the 'Mordine Group' makes a move, it will inevitably clash with that 2567.
Whatever the end result of the conflict.
It doesn't matter if Mordin wins the group or wins 2567.
They will all be the ultimate beneficiaries.
After all, they have been preparing for a long time, and what they lack is an excuse to make trouble.
However, how can everything go as planned?
In the special office of the 'Mordin Group', Einface, who had just finished reading the information about Mordin transmitted from the House of Commons, was contemplating intently.
As a member of the House of Commons and the de facto head of the group, Einface is older than he seems.
Even if he sat up as straight as possible, the years still left indelible marks on his body.
It takes away the power of the muscles, but gives the brain wisdom.
What the three guys in the House of Commons wanted, Einface knew.
After decades of-for-tat, Einface is too familiar with those three guys, so familiar that he knows what the other party is going to say when the three of them have one mouth.
Just like this time.
The three of them just hoped that he would have a conflict with that 2567 so that he could sit back and take advantage of the fish.
As for the statue of Mordin mentioned in the message?
Einface was sure that the three of them had not understood it in detail at all.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to get this information to him so quickly.
"Great swords, flames."
Einface muttered the words in a low voice.
As the de facto leader of the 'Mordine Group', he knew all too well what these two words meant to Mordin.
While he wasn't sure if it was a trap, 2567 knew the secret information enough to send a trip to Akander City.
He needed to know if 2567 knew more.
Thinking of this, Einface picked up the phone.
He commanded his men.
Then, when the phone hung up, he thought for a moment and walked towards the secret room next to his office.
The bookshelves are separated from the left and right.
A downward path appeared in front of him, and Einface stood down the steps and into a small room.
There was only one table in the whole room.
A full-length pentagram is drawn on the table, and in the center of the pentagram is a skull with two small horns.
Einface lit the candles within the five corners of the pentagram.
A muffled incantation filled the room.
"Hey, Einface."
A shrill voice rang out from inside the horned skull.
"According to the contract, you need to help me one more time."
Einface said.
"Of course!"
"You want those three guys on the other side?"
"When?"
A sharp voice asked directly.
"The sooner the better!"
Einface replied.
"Leave it to us!"
"But don't forget the promise you once made!"
A shrill voice reminded.
"No, it won't."
"I've always kept my promises!"
After finishing the call, Einface sneered.
Keep your promises?
He's been behaving like this, but whoever believes is a fool.
Whether it's human or otherwise.
……
After Similede left, Qin Ran put the statue in his hand into the first drawer in his left hand.
This beginner-less than entry-level 'craft' by Fries has done its job.
The rest?
The bait had been spilled, and he just had to wait.
Will anyone find out?
Qin Ran was not worried.
He knew very well that when he threw something with Mordin's strong characteristics, everything would work out.
There may be twists and turns, but everything will be manageable.
Thinking of this, Qin Ran stood up from the chair, stretched his waist slightly, and walked towards the living room.
At the very least, the food brought is boutique and carefully selected.
Even though Qin Ran had tasted it before, he didn't mind eating it again at this time.
Delicious food that always makes you want to come back, doesn't it?
Boiled meatballs wrapped in crab roe with fish.
The tender fish meat is accompanied by the strong aroma of the crab roe, especially when chewing, the moment the crab roe overflows, it really gives people a sense of satisfaction.
The soup looks like a clear broth, but it is actually a three-boiled broth, which is clear and delicious.
A mouthful of fish balls and a mouthful of soup, Qin Ran couldn't help but squint his eyes.
When the last mouthful of soup was in his mouth, Qin Ran naturally picked up the huge roast leg of lamb.
The whole roast leg of lamb has not been changed with a knife, let alone cut, and it remains original, just a layer of onions on the iron plate.
didn't pick up the leg of lamb first, Qin Ran ate onions first.
Unlike the usual spicy onions, the onions here are slightly sweet, and of course, the spicy flavor is also there, but they are light, not pungent, and juicy.
When the taste of the onion completely spread in his mouth, Qin Ran picked up the leg of mutton, and directly tore off the mutton three fingers wide and one finger thick in one bite, sucking and chewing, overflowing with fat, and leaving a fragrant mouth.
Soon, when the bones of the leg of mutton were chewed and swallowed by Qin Ran, he looked at the box of small snacks.
Green like leaves, dotted with white-pink lotus flowers.
It's not cream, it's cheese.
And mint is added.
Not only did it just get rid of the greasy feeling just brought by the roast lamb leg, but it also made people have an appetite again, Qin Ran threw three small snacks in one hand, threw them into his mouth, and ate a box of dim sum in two clicks.
"Fries, bring me a cup of tea."
Qin Ran shouted at the 'Frozen One'.
"Yes, sir."
The Freezer bowed down and walked to the kitchen, and when the Freezer returned, there was a knock on the door.
"It's Catwoman."
"My lord, do you want to see her?"
Golan said through the speakers set up in his home.
"Hmm."
Qin Ran nodded.
The relationship between the two parties is quite harmonious, and Qin Ran believes that the other party will not come to visit him without any problems.
Knock, knock!
Catwoman knocked cautiously on the door, she always had bad memories when she walked here, but in the bad memories, there were some memories that she couldn't help but immerse herself in.
For example: food!
The thought of the food she ate last time made Catwoman can't help but salivate.
It is precisely because of this that she took the initiative to take on this task and chose to step on the lunch meal.
Undoubtedly, she made the right choice!
Smell the scent!
Boiled fish balls in Lo Kee!
Roast leg of lamb from the burning cave!
Linlinda's Cheesecake!
Each one is her favorite food, especially when paired with each other, the taste in it will get even better.
At the thought of being able to share such a delicacy right away, Catwoman couldn't help but twist her neck excitedly, subconsciously trying to find something to rub into.
It took a lot of effort for Catwoman to suppress this urge.
"Lady!"
"Meow is a lady!"
"Keep your demeanor!"
Catwoman told herself, but the moment Fries opened the door, she shouted, "I'm looking for 2567!" ”
After shouting, Catwoman rushed into Langtonding 17.
She couldn't wait.
She wants to eat fish balls, leg of mutton, cheesecake.
And then......
She saw the empty box.
Suddenly, Catwoman froze in place.
"You're done eating?"
Catwoman asked, stunned.
"Hmm."
"I felt good about the gift brought by the other party, so I tasted it."
"It tastes good."
Qin Ran nodded.
"Tastes good?"
"Oh, man."
"You're Meow's lifelong enemy!"
Catwoman sneered, threw the invitation in her hand on the coffee table in front of her, and turned to leave. Eddie walked out of the room, she looked at Catwoman, and couldn't help but say hello: "Fries is about to cook, Selena, don't you eat before leaving?" ”
Suddenly, Catwoman's steps froze as she walked forward.
She turned her head stiffly.
"And rice?"
"Yes, Fries cooks every day."
Emma. Add replied.
Catwoman didn't turn around, but just stepped back in front of Qin Ran, revealing a sweet smile.
"Meow just hallucinated."
"You're really a good friend of Meow."
Catwoman wanted to rub Qin Ran as she spoke, but Qin Ran avoided her.
Oh, woman.
Qin Ran completely ignored the other party and picked up the invitation on the coffee table, when he opened the invitation and saw the content on it, Qin Ran couldn't help frowning.
