Chapter 166: Dark Tide (2)

"Your Excellency is the Child of the Void, Aix?" Just as Ax kept shoving pieces of pastry into his mouth, a voice sounded behind him, interrupting Aix's gobbling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Ax heard the voice behind him, he threw the half-eaten cake back to the table, and then wiped his mouth full of cream with a tablecloth, and when he turned around, he saw a somewhat embarrassed teenager standing next to Casey, and the person who spoke just now should be him.

"Hello, who are?" Aix recalled, making sure that he had not met this person, it seemed that it should be a friend of Casey, otherwise, Casey would not have brought someone to see him without his permission.

"I'm Guggier Neil, one of the heads of the Neil comptoirs in Pompeii." When the boy heard Aix's inquiry, he wanted to stretch out his hand, but after seeing Aix's hands still stained with cream, he didn't know what to do for a while. Now that the hand has been stretched out, it can only make people feel that they look down on each other, but for these nobles who have a habit of cleanliness, it is really uncomfortable to shake hands with a hand stained with cream.

"Sorry, my hands are a little dirty." Ax gestured for his hands and did not shake hands.

"Aix, this is Guggier, a friend I met since I came to Pompeii, and he helped me a lot." It seemed that seeing the awkwardness between Ax and Guggill, Casey immediately walked over to help introduce him.

"Looks like Casey has been giving you trouble these days, and I'm here to thank you." Ax bowed slightly to Guggill as if he were a patriarch.

"You're welcome, it's also an honor to be friends with Casey." Guggier hurriedly shook his hand, as if he was a little nervous, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Aix's solemn thanks shows that the relationship between Guggier and Casey is only the relationship between the two of them, and has nothing to do with Ax, which frustrates the desire to use Casey as a springboard to get to know Ax and establish a friendship with the Land of Voodoo.

After that, Ax and Guggier had a brief chat, and then, Guggier left with interest, because some people who could represent the major forces had already entered, and if he stayed here with a dead face, then it would not be one or two people who would be offended.

When Gergill left, Casey originally planned to chase after him, but was directly carried by Aix. Seeing Aix's serious expression, Casey felt a wave of fear for no reason. Although Casey was one of the first three to follow Ax out of the Voodoo Lands, and his personality was relatively smooth, he still had a trace of fear for Ax for no apparent reason.

"He's the friend who promised to ask you about that girl?" Aix's attention seemed to be drawn to the food again, and then asked in a whisper. This made a few people who had planned to come to Aix stop, as aristocrats, they would not disturb others to eat.

"Yes...... Yes. Casey said nervously.

"Don't associate with him anymore, and you don't have to check the whereabouts of that girl anymore." Aix said without refusal.

"However, the Guggill family is in the raw material business, and many of our necessities can be bought from them, and the price is very fair, so give it up like this, isn't it ......" Casey's voice became quieter and quieter, as Aix's eyes had moved to him again, making him swallow back all his next words.

"Know...... Got it. Casey finally stumbled in his reply under pressure from Aix, and although he didn't understand why Ax gave this order, he agreed anyway.

Receiving a satisfactory answer, Ax wiped his hands and mouth with a tablecloth again, and then, walking to a remote corner, Casey and Kleist followed and sat next to Aix.

As soon as the three of them sat down, a teenager came over with a few companions, and the young man at the head asked Aix, "Can we sit down and talk?" ”

"Of course." Ax made a gesture of please, and then several people sat opposite the three of Aix.

"Hello, Aix, I'm Jean, how was Uncle Duke's feast, are you satisfied with the food?" The boy put down the wine glass in his hand and asked Ax like a banquet host. In fact, Jean is already half the host of the banquet, although the convener of the banquet is the Duke Archon, but for the reception of people of Aix's age, Jean is completely responsible, after all, you can't let an uncle entertain a teenager like Aix!

"Very good, it's the best food I've had in the last few days." Aix didn't lie when he said this, on the way to Pompeii, he was sleeping in the open, and it was good to have a hot meal, but after coming to Pompeii, there were many things to be busy, and there was no time to have a good meal, so this sentence was not a compliment.

"This is the void in the mouth of Lord Cassadine, it's an honor to meet you here." While Ax and Jean hadn't said a few words, a burly boy in leather armor walked over alone and said with a big grin.

"Jean, you actually came here, it makes me easy to find, when will you pay me back the prey, I can still wait!" The burly young man said to Jean, and then sat directly beside Jean, without any intention of leaving.

"Ron, you don't want to get an inch." Jean was obviously at odds with the other party, and his tone of voice became stern.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to trouble you today, of course, if you want to trouble me, you can come to the city defense camp to find me at any time." Ron said proudly.

"It turns out that Your Excellency is a member of the city defense battalion, not only do you know a person named Ulysses." Aix asked Ron as he spoke.

"Know, what, do you know too? It's just that he seems to have made some small mistakes recently, and he has been locked up, and if you want to see him, you can only live a few days. Ron said nonchalantly.

"Oh, nothing, just a little thing." Aix didn't continue to ask, since the other party had already given him an explanation, if he still held on, he would be a little offended, it was originally a matter of you respecting me and I respecting you, so there was no need to be so stiff.

"It looks like it's very lively here, don't mind if I'm here to join in the fun!" A young man in a law enforcement robe suddenly interjected, and then, without anyone's permission, he sat on a sofa, and Jean and Ron didn't seem to object, which can only mean that this young man should represent the other side of Pompeii, the Chancellor.
