Chapter 11: A long-lost meeting

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the weather is getting colder.

Jimmy stamped his foot, he was already tightly wrapped in the winter before it was fully winter. The courtyard was deserted, except for a much thinner figure, looking at the night sky alone. Jimmy slowly walked behind him, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a hoarfrost.

"I said, big brother, what are you doing here alone, go back to the house and have a hot drink."

Duran withdrew his gaze, stared at Jimmy, who was shivering, and shook his head slowly.

"You can play it this time, forcibly use the forbidden power, and hurt the foundation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make an inch in this life." Speaking of this, Duran had already retracted his gaze and said softly, "Why is this so. ”

At that glance, Jimmy felt his body tighten up and down instantly, as if there was no secret, and he was instantly seen through. Although he hasn't seen the old head of the regiment all these years, the feeling he gives himself is still unfathomable, but the temper of the explosive bear has changed a lot. If it was left in the past, it would be necessary to be beaten fat, where would it be so soft-spoken as now. He pursed his lips, unimpressed by Duran's words.

"I said boss, I've had a hard time, you said that you have been gone for so many years, and you won't come back to see, I'm alone here, and the days are not as good as a year. Now that someone has knocked on the door, you say that if I don't open it big, the signs in The Hague will be kicked in, what do you think I can do? ”

With his huddled and trembling body, Jimmy complained for a moment, sounding sincere. It's a pity that the explosive bear on the other side doesn't seem to react at all, completely indifferent.

"The hole cards are all out, and there won't be such a situation a day earlier, what are you thinking!"

Duran was already a little angry when he said this, he didn't ask about the world for many years, all these years were just drunk and suffocated. But no matter how the world changes, The Hague, with its back to the tree, will not fall to this point in any way. What's more, this tree is a little thick, even if it is just a corner that is inadvertently raised, it is enough for the continent to shake for a while. So no matter how bad Jimmy's cards are, as long as he has this trump card as a foundation, in his opinion, he will not be able to go to the desperate situation of the last battle.

This time, Jimmy smiled and looked slightly dark.

"Peterson slaughtered a family for a ticket."

Duran was slightly stunned, turned around, and patted Jimmy on the shoulder, he knew that Jimmy hated this kind of thing, and naturally he could understand all this.

"Besides, I am the acting head of the temporary post, and I am not in charge of the expansion, I am only responsible for guarding the Hague brand." Jimmy muttered, in the dead of night, he was sure that Duran must have heard, but he still couldn't see anything else on his face, so he could only sigh quietly.

"Let's not talk about that, let's go, don't keep people waiting." With that, Duran walked out, Jimmy was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that there was a person standing under the light under the corridor of the small courtyard, slightly hunched over, looking like a housekeeper with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes. The man stood there in a grand manner, but Jimmy didn't even know when he came. He quickly collected his thoughts, and even the coercion released like a conditioned reflex retracted his body, stomped his feet, and walked a few quick steps to follow behind Duran.

Jimmy was hurt, he was tumbling in five at this point, teleporting seven times in a row, without a moment's pause, and he was sure that he would not be able to hold on if he tried again. Finally, after this teleportation, they were already in a corridor, and there was no other formation in front of them, and the old man who looked like a butler also retreated, no longer leading the way, which meant that they had reached their destination. With a long sigh of relief, trying to restrain the embarrassing act of wanting to vomit, he secretly observed Duran, and found that there was nothing special on his somewhat emaciated face, only slightly pale, and he thought that it had caused some burden on his body.

Through the inheritance of the teleportation magic array over the years, the technology has become mature, but when it is applied to large objects or people, there are still difficulties that are difficult to overcome. The main reason for the limitation of this technology is energy, because after reaching a limit value, each increase in the transmission distance will consume several times the previous amount of energy, and there are very few crystals that can stably provide this energy, usually in the hands of those big families and royal families, and there is almost no circulation on the market. And the longer the distance, the more terrifying the tearing force of the space will be, and people with poor strength will not be able to survive safely, and will be directly torn to pieces by the space vortex. So just a glance, he could roughly judge Duran's strength at this time, and sighed in his heart, after all these years, Duran's strength was not as good as before. Apparently this was not the time to ask, he rubbed his stomach and looked around. This look was shocking again, and he found that the old housekeeper who was still there just now was gone.

"Is it a big change? Don't you dare to walk with a little noise, bastard! Jimmy roared inwardly, and then pouted disdainfully, who knows where the old man was staring, and besides, this place is so mysterious, you know that it can't be easy with your ass.

The Nine-Song Corridor looks simple, but Jimmy always feels a little palpitating. After all these years as the head of the group, he still has eyesight, this kind of coercion is similar to that of his headquarters in The Hague, there must be a large magic array to protect it, but now it is just a state of suppression.

Duran seemed to be unaware, and he took steady steps step by step. After all, he is not even afraid of death, and there are very few things in this world that can make him feel afraid. When Jimmy saw that the boss was like this, he naturally followed, and he didn't have the heart to think about any risks at this time, since they were all here, with the strength of the two of them at this time, they couldn't make waves at all. There was no guidance, no hindrance, and soon they came to a courtyard.

Withered vines, scattered residual leaves, a decayed appearance. Under the trellis, a rattan chair swayed slowly.

Duran stopped and looked at the old man who looked like a rich man. And the old man opened his eyes at the same moment. Duran stood on the spot.

"...... Wayne"

Master Vane smiled, not intending to get up. Since the little boy was on vacation, no one else has cleaned the whole house. He was always alone, enjoying a moment of peace. However, the situation on the mainland is gradually rising, and he can't be alone, even with his status in the Hero Chamber of Commerce, he needs to start making some preparations and meeting some people.

"I'm very happy that I can meet old friends for the first time when I start to deal with official business."

Vane's slightly wrinkled face shone with some brilliance, and his smile was very sincere.

"After so many years, even you are old."

Duran said something similar to Balai. This time Vane was not silent, but just smiled and nodded.
