Chapter 18: Reminiscences

"I said, you've had a good enough day."

In the courtyard, on the stone table, there are several exquisite dishes and two pots of good wine.

"When I'm idle, I always have to find some hobbies."

Elan poured himself a cup, took a sip, and asked:

"What have you been doing all these years?"

"For the first few years, I wandered around, I didn't have a fixed place to live, I was drunk and dreamed of dying, and then suddenly one day, I stopped."

"Oh? You kid has one day to wake up, and that scares the old man. ”

"No, it's because the money is running out."

The old man had the urge to pull out the ball again.

Seeing that the old man's expression was wrong, Alan hurriedly continued:

"And then what to do to make money, restaurants, chambers of commerce, green buildings, casinos, bodyguards and so on."

"You do have a hand in making money, but you won't just make money, with your ability, it will be enough to support yourself for a lifetime in two or three years from scratch."

"Old man, you also underestimate me too much, a year at most. Then the days started to get boring, you know me, I just couldn't be idle, so I went back to my old job. ”

"Intelligence?"

"Hmm."

The two were silent for a while, as if they were both thinking about something, and Elan spoke first:

"It's not wartime, what do you want intelligence to do."

"At first, it was just a habit, but after doing it for a long time, I realized that before I knew it, my eyeliner was all over the continent."

The old man shook his head helplessly, there were many geeks in their group of brothers back then. He is also a man himself, and as for logistics, no one can compare to this man who looks like a man. Money aside, anyway, they have never spent a short time, and the intelligence has been done to the extreme, so that every operation is done step by step according to his arrangement, although this is very easy, but it feels very unpleasant, as if reduced to a thug. As for what he said now, it was not surprising at all.

"Those dirty things in the family look much more exciting than eating and gambling money, and if they are published in a book, they will definitely make a lot of money. But that's what happened after watching too much. Alan plucked out his ears disdainfully, and then said: "There is too much information collected, so I found a deep mountain and old forest and set up a stronghold, which is responsible for processing and classifying all kinds of information, classifying it, and then selling it for money." You don't know, intelligence is really a lucrative industry, and it's up to me whether you want to sell it or not, and how much you want to sell depends on your mood, not to mention how cool it is. Have you heard of the Wolf's Tooth Pavilion? That's my industry, of course, there are few people who know that I'm the real boss, and the feeling of being behind the scenes is even better. Like a child showing off his beloved toy, Alan smiled heartily.

The old man said in his heart that this person is still such a bad taste, and he hasn't changed for many years. The two chatted with each other, but time flew by. Elam had already changed the wine twice, and then, seeing trouble, he simply changed it to a wine jar, and the wine glass to a sea bowl.

The two of them talked less and less, and finally they became silent. This meal was eaten for a long time, and the sun had set quite a bit. Both were a little drunk, but not so drunk that they fell asleep.

"Alan, how many people are left?" Finally, Elan asked the question that had been going on for a long time.

Vague question, but Alan immediately understood his question.

"Seventeen." Allen's voice was a little cold, and he stopped laughing.

The old man's hand trembled lightly, and he sprinkled a lot of wine. After a long time, he picked up the wine jar, filled it for Allen, filled it for himself, and then slowly raised the porcelain bowl in his hand.

The two silently bumped into each other, and then drank it all.

"Don't worry," Alan said in a low voice, "I never bother you if you mix well. Only those who don't mix well, I will secretly help. The brothers who went were all considered to have a good death, and I also had shelter for the old and the young in the family, and I did not give the big rich and the noble, and the small wealth was safe. ”

Elan poured another bowl for Alan. Alan didn't shirk either, he knew it was Elan thanking him. To be honest, these things involve a lot of his energy, and it is most convenient to give money directly, but a few of those brothers are not arrogant. It took a lot of work to make it to the point where there was no trace.

A meal, from the three poles of the day to the night full of stars, I don't know how much wine was consumed, until the end, both of them lost consciousness.

"Awake?"

"Hmm." Alan shook his head, he hadn't been drunk to this extent in many years, he had a hangover and some headaches. The fact that he was completely drunk at the end and finally woke up from his bed showed that the old man had come to his senses before he did, and that he was a little upset. But he is a mage, and the old man is half a warrior no matter how poor he is, so he is relieved to think so.

"Let's talk about it, after hiding it all these years, it won't be as simple as just wanting to drink."

"Have you heard anything about the recent events?"

"A lot of things are big things for this small place."

"The biggest one."

"Oh, the Hero Chamber of Commerce."

"There is a shadow of the lord in this matter."

"What did you say?" Elan was in a hurry.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly." Alan washed his face with some water, and then said, "After the master dismissed us, I once inquired about the master's news, but I found nothing. You know what I'm capable of, since I can't even find out, then it's only in those few places, but in fact, they told me. More than ten years ago, I began to infiltrate the Hero Chamber of Commerce, and now, there are hundreds of people above the second-in-command in the local area, three elders of the association, and eight guest secretaries. ”

Alan said it lightly, but if the old man Berg of the Peterson family was here, he would definitely be too frightened, and they used the strength of the family to bury two ghosts, which did not play a role, and Alan had so many spies.

"Through some clues, I am almost certain that the master is in the Hero Chamber of Commerce. And I was really sure that three months ago, the old man went to find Balai. ”

"What!" Elan stood up suddenly, his eyes wide with rage.

"If it weren't for me secretly staring at the rest of my brothers, I wouldn't have been able to find out. The lord stayed only one night and left, and soon Balai disappeared as well. Balai is Balai after all, and my people quickly lost his whereabouts. And then, as you know, the Hero Chamber of Commerce hosted that auction. ”

Elan was silent, there must have been some big change in the sudden appearance of the master, or some action, could it?

Seeing Elan's shining eyes, Alan hurriedly shook his head, "Don't look at me like that, these are all discovered by myself, except for looking for Balai, the master did not summon any of his subordinates at that time, even Balai, and it didn't look like he was summoned." ”

Elan sat down as if he had been drained of something.

"Then what are you coming to me for?" He said angrily.

"Haha, if the master doesn't look for me, it doesn't mean that I can't go to the master, it's been all these years, what else can he do, at most he will be beaten, I will admit it, but if the master has any action, I will earn a place for anything. So in the name of the master, I've contacted Mr. and Mrs. Andrew, hehe. As for you, I'll see if there's any magic weapon at hand. ”

"Oh?" Elan's eyes were instantly gentle, he lowered his head, as if studying his fingers, and said casually: "So you found Andrew first?" ”

Allen's heart trembled, his intuition as a magician made him feel like a man's back, and secretly screamed badly, don't look at this old man now, he looks kind, but he is the most grudgeful, careful, and he will be revenged, and all kinds of whimsical magic weapons emerge in endlessly, it is really chilling to think about.

"Ahh

"Oh? Is it? ”

"Of course, you can't trust my credibility."

"And when are we leaving?"

"Let's go? Where to go? "Alan was a little confused.

"You didn't mean you called everyone."

"I said Lao Ai, you misunderstood, although you went to serve the master, but you are a warrior. Twenty years ago, I would have had no hesitation in bringing you together. But warrior, this is an old age, although your fighting style is special, but you always need physical strength, and you still have a few percent of the strength in your heyday? ”

Elan's strength is not even average in their original group, but he is definitely one of the most dangerous characters, because he is good at all kinds of hidden weapons, magic items, disposable magic weapons, and so on. You'll never know for sure what sinister and vicious stuff lies in his shabby bag, and he's so deceitful that even the most defensive shield warriors of the year wouldn't want to fight him. It's just that a lot of his strength has to fall on strong speed, strength and awareness, and when he gets older, his threat is much smaller.

"Mages are different, they are still fighting as they get older, and they are even more sophisticated. It's just that I didn't contact anyone else, just Will, the boat, I can only trust him. ”

"It's useless to talk about it, I'm going to make a decision this time, not only Lao Tzu is going, but I will gather the rest of the brothers, no matter what big things are, I will also be summoned, and whoever can use it will not be used when the time comes, naturally the master will judge, and it will not be your turn to call the shots."

Alan was a little embarrassed, this old man, his temper is still so hot. It is foreseeable that when the time comes, let the master know, these shameless people will definitely push him out without hesitation.

"Hey, hey, hey, these years are not as good as before, no need to go out on a mission, the most is time, I can study a lot of things when I'm idle, if I want to talk about strength, my physical strength must be poor, but it's dangerous, hey, hey, hey, give me two or three days, I can make the danger of the whole team rise by two grades."

Alan suddenly felt a cool breeze behind him, bringing back some not-so-good memories.

"Alan." Elan stared at him, staring intently.

"How many years are we left, so many brothers have left, only a group of lonely ghosts are left, and we always want to see the master again before leaving"

Elan chattered, and Alan gradually lowered his head and listened silently.

"Alan, the living brother, I have to toast you with a glass of wine for those who are gone"

Among the brothers in this class, Alan is the youngest, and he is average and willing to let loose, and he has not been taught by the eldest brother and sister, but this child at that time was responsible for all the logistics and intelligence, and everyone never had any worries. Everyone ended their mission thirty years ago and started their own lives, but only he was still sticking to his mission, silently paying attention to all of them, and sending away one comrade-in-arms after another, what a cruel thing it was.

"Let's toast you with a glass of wine, shall we?" Elan patted Allen's trembling shoulder and asked gently.

Allen's head, buried between his knees, nodded imperceptibly.
