Chapter 164: The Archon (II)

"Casey, why are things so listless that things aren't going well?" Ax came to the hotel that had been agreed upon, and saw Casey sitting alone in a chair in a daze, and couldn't help but ask. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Ah, here you are." Hearing Aix's voice, Casey was suddenly startled, and then immediately stood up, but when she saw Aix, she suddenly became a little embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable.

"No, it's just ......" Casey froze for a long time, not saying what had happened.

"Kleist?" Ax looked at Kleist to the side, trying to get an answer from him, but Kleist didn't seem to know what was going on, and just shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know.

"What the hell is going on, if you still don't say it, I don't care." Ax is not in the mood to play a pantomime with Casey right now, and he will visit Duke the Archon tomorrow, so such a good opportunity, of course, should strike while the iron is hot.

"Ax, wait." Seeing that Ax was leaving, Casey immediately stopped him, then glanced at Kleist, and finally walked up to Ax and said into Aix's ear, as if he was afraid that Kleist would hear.

"What? You have a crush on a chick, and it's love at first sight? When Ax heard Casey's words, he immediately shouted in surprise, and not only Kleist turned his head curiously, but even Anne, who was tinkering with one of the decorations in the room, also looked at it, obviously thinking it was more interesting.

"Be quiet." Casey tried to stop Aix, but unfortunately it was too late, and when she saw Kleist and Anne all looking over, her whole face turned blood-red, and she lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for the criticism of adults and the ridicule of her companions.

"What's this, ********, rightly so. Tell me which girl is the girl who can smeher our Casey. Ax put his arm around Casey's neck and asked with a smile, apparently interested.

"Yes, it's a young lady from the consul's mansion, and I don't know the name, but I only met at a ball." Casey said with a blushing face.

"You've only met once and you've fallen in love with each other?" Aix wasn't as cynical this time around.

"How did you get to that ball, the identity I arranged for you seems to be just a businessman, and the people who can participate in the ball held at the Archon's Mansion should not be ordinary people, how could you get an invitation from a small businessman who is not famous?"

"A friend of mine took me there, he was a squad leader in the city defense battalion, and his uncle was the logistics officer of the city defense battalion." Casey said without concealment, he didn't dare to hide this, because Aix's attitude also made him realize that this matter may not be as simple as it seems.

"The city defense battalion?" When Ax heard this answer, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this matter had something to do with the city defense battalion, so this matter would implicate the two giants of Pompeii.

"What's that friend's attitude towards this? Do all your best to help you, or persuade you to give up? Ax then asked.

"No, he just said to help me find out about the girl, and then there was no news."

"Interesting, it seems that he doesn't know the news of the other party either, a strange girl suddenly appeared at a ball held in the Archon's Mansion, and it also attracted your attention, interesting."

"Aix? What do you say I should do? Casey asked anxiously.

"I'm going to see the Archon tomorrow, you come with me, and when the time comes, won't you know?" Aix comforted Casey by patting him on the shoulder.

The place where Ax and Casey went was not the Archon's residence, because it was rude to go to the other party's mansion without receiving an invitation, so Ax went to the Archon's office building. It is also the center of the whole city of Pompeii. Not only the consuls, but also the generals of the city defense battalion and the justices in charge of the rulings also worked here. It can be said that as long as you step here, you will have a place in Pompeii.

After announcing his name, Ax arrived at the door of the Archon's office without any difficulty, and it was clear that the Archon Duke had already greeted him.

"Please come in." After Ax knocked on the door a few times, Duke's voice was heard in the room, and Ax gently pushed the door open.

The Archon's office is not too big, but it is obviously very well decorated. When we met yesterday, Duke gave Ax the feeling of being an upstart, but after seeing the layout of this room, it made Ax feel like a nouveau riche.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry to interrupt you, I don't know if I've disturbed your work." Aix walked over to Duke's desk and asked politely.

"It's okay, I expected you to come today, so I postponed a few talks at will." Duke said with a smile, meaning that in order to see you, I deliberately made time.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Casey!" Duke looked at Casey, who was following Aix, and said without surprise.

"It seems that the Archon has known his identity for a long time." Aix said to Duke, not much surprised. Because of Casey's status as a small businessman, it is absolutely impossible to attract the attention of all parties, so what can arouse the interest of all parties can only be the land of voodoo.

"It's just a coincidence." Duke didn't deny it, because the matter could already be a semi-open secret. Now that Ax is here, especially Anne who came with her, it means that the eyes of the Voodoo Land have at least been set here, although it is not known what the purpose is, but it is enough to arouse the alarm of all parties.

"I think there may be some misunderstanding on the part of the Archon, but I am not here to represent the Voodoo Lands, but the western part of the Storm Plains."

"Storm Plains? Westward? Aix's words caused Duke to fall into a short contemplation, you know, the Storm Plains have a strong power in Pompeii, although those people are only the eastern tribes of the Storm Plains, but they can already represent the Storm Plains. At this time, there is a sudden appearance of the western part of the Storm Plains, which is incomprehensible, and more importantly, the forces behind the western part of the Storm Plains are still the people of the Voodoo Land.

"So, are you going to buy something here, or are you planning to stay permanently?" Duke asked cautiously, keeping an eye on Aix. Now, Pompeii has been divided between several forces, and if new forces join, the current balance will inevitably be broken, and the interests will be redistributed. This is already a big deal for Pompeii. (To be continued.) )
