Chapter 456: The City of the Sea

After more than ten hours of turbulence, at the end of the horizon, a brilliant light gradually came into view, and Ordis, the capital of the sea, appeared in sight. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the train stopped, the passengers couldn't wait to squeeze out of the carriage with their luggage.

The wolf stuck his head out and glanced at the station clock, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening. The hunter 'peddler' sitting at the other end of the carriage slowly picked up the package he was carrying, followed the crowd of passengers, and disappeared into the depths of the station.

The wolf rubbed slightly, stopped at the exit of the platform, lit a cigarette, and he didn't see Duchamp and the others leaving the station. In a moment of surprise, the VIP passage of the station was opened, and three imposing limousines with the lord's family crest poured out.

"The first time I came to Haidu, it seemed that the air here smelled salty of the sea." Duchamp gave a speech, naturally opened the car window, and looked out at the night view of Haidu.

The wolf at the exit of the station threw away the cigarette butt in surprise and turned to leave.

It is a port city built behind the bay, the sea capital of Ordis, with the westernmost natural harbor on the mainland. Ordis Bay blocks the rough waves of the sea, giving ships an open and calm berthing space. Along the Gulf of Ordis, on a clear day, you can see tens of thousands of boats, as well as busy fishermen, dock workers and workers in fishing canneries.

About half of the 400,000-strong city is engaged in fishing and related trades, making it an important fishing and agricultural center in the empire.

However, it was night, and I couldn't see anything except the faint lights in the distance.

The limousine took them all the way to a luxurious courtyard, parked in front of a towering lobby, and the waiters who appeared out of nowhere rushed over to greet Dietrie: "Hello Third Young Master, Third Young Master, you can come back." ”

Such a pomp made the other noble children secretly surprised.

Duchamp wandered around as if no one was around, surveying the building's tall and orderly dome, and asked Dietrie, "This building looks very old, and must have been used for something else before it was converted into a guest house." ”

"That's right." Dietrie was glad that Duchamp had not been affected by the pomp of the Kane family in the slightest, and he affectionately led the crowd inside, pointing out the unusual places for everyone to see.

"It was originally a temple of scholars in the Middle Ages, and it is said that 700 years ago, many magicians gathered here. Later, the magicians disappeared, and the temple gradually became deserted, and once served as the city's library. Later, Haidu built a new library, completely renovated the monument, and added halls and some housing next to it to serve as the city's guest house. ”

Trained waiters took each person's luggage and carried it to their rooms. The steward was asking Dietrie for instructions: "Dinner is ready, do you want to go to dinner now, or go to your room to rest and have dinner again?" ”

"Now, everyone is very tired, go back to the room to rest after the meal." Dietrie took the idea.

"Are you going to go back to your home to rest, or are you going to stay here?"

Dietrie hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Let's go home, or I don't know how my mother will nag." ”

Even though it was already midnight, dinner was still served meticulously according to the standards of the main meal. Duchamp looked at the sky and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Fortunately, Dietrie was also worried about going home, stopped the waiter to continue serving, and said to everyone: "It's getting late, everyone should rest early." I hadn't seen my mother for a long time, so I had to go home. Rest well, get a good night's sleep, and see you tomorrow morning at 8:30. ”

After saying goodbye to the crowd, Dieter hurried away through a small door. Duchamp returned to his room, looked at it, and was very satisfied. The room was on the second floor and had a terrace with trees outside the window, which was just right for him.

Duchamp washed up satisfied, changed his outfit, turned off the lamp in his room, and quietly went out of the window.

He walked out of the guest house incognito, adjusted his watch, and walked down the street towards the southeast. The wolf carries a liaison device with a positioning tracking function, and Duchamp can find Goethe and the wolf as long as he follows the direction prompted.

Goethe's stay seemed to be far from Duchamp, who walked for almost an hour before arriving at Goethe's place where they were staying, a hotel not very far from the train station.

Duchamp couldn't help frowning as he looked at the surrounding terrain. Mercenaries like to wander around this old neighborhood in order not to be obtrusive, as well as to detect danger and evacuate at any time. Duchamp's habit was the opposite, he liked to live in the kind of orderly place, even if there was an extra needle, he could see it at a glance.

He hid in the shadows across the street and began to scan his surroundings.

Goethe and his family lived on the third floor, spread across four rooms at one end of the hallway. In addition, there are a lot of chaotic people in this building and nearby, and the bar on the street downstairs is even more mixed, making loud noise. Such a complex situation greatly influenced Duchamp's judgment. He withdrew his hand in disappointment, took out a headset from his pocket, hung it on his ear, and gently covered the intercom microphone with one hand, sending out a communication signal.

The communicator in the wolf's pocket vibrated slightly, and he quickly pressed the call button. A minute later, he hurried to Goethe, and the two of them hurried downstairs. The innkeeper frowned and looked at the figures of the two, and shouted loudly: "Guest, you have to come back early, and no one will open the door after one o'clock." ”

Goethe glared fiercely at the boss, opened the door of the hotel, and walked out.

Duchamp came out of the shadows. Goethe happily said, "Would you like to go to the bar for a drink?" ”

Duchamp frowned and said, "No, I've already drunk it just now, so let's go for a walk over there." ”

The three of them walked along the commercial street to a secluded lake. Duchamp kept looking at the watch in his hand until he was sure that there was no one around him or behind him.

Goethe was sure that Duchamp was safe in the vicinity, and he couldn't help but ask excitedly: "How is it, the journey is going well, right?" ”

"I'm okay on my side, I'm worried about the connection on your side, how to hand over to the customer?"

Goethe took out a pack of cigarettes, lost one of them, took out a lighter and lit it, took the lead in spitting out a smoke ring, and said in a low voice: "The agreement is to deliver the day after tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to confirm the specific method of delivery and collection, I have looked at the terrain of Ordis in the past two days, and want to book the delivery location to the port area, the terrain there is very chaotic, and it is easy to deal with any accidents." ”

Duchamp laughed dumbly. "The port area, that's where the smugglers go. We are a regular company, and we have to be a bit pompous to do serious business. Listen to me, find a high-end shopping area in the city, preferably a restaurant in a rich area, the kind of place where you can't get into it. Finally, the surrounding area has a wider view. ”

Goethe asked curiously, "Why?" ”

Duchamp said succinctly: "I'm so quiet, I don't like places where there are too many people, and besides, the hotel you live in is too noisy, it's better to change one." ”

The wolf agrees with Duchamp's words: "The dealer also thinks this hotel is not very good, and he goes to another hotel nearby." ”

Goethe was surprised: "Do the traffickers say the same? ”

The trafficker is the humble hunter.

The wolf nodded: "There are people doing leather and meat business on that street, and there must be our peers in the middle, so many of us come here, it's not good to attract the head snake from the ground." ”

Goethe asked in a low voice: "If we need too much cash and flare chips, it is also risky to carry them back like this, or we will still need an anonymous check from an international bank." ”

Duchamp said softly, "Then the profit will be made by check." But the capital has to be cash, and I have my own way of getting things away. ”

Goethe calculated in his mind: "That's 120 million mira bearer promissory notes, 165 million in cash." ”

Duchamp nodded, took out three more sets of communicators to Goethe, and showed him how to operate: "These communicators can talk to each other and warn each other. The button on the top, pressing the yellow button, can transmit the surrounding sound to other people's communicators. Press the red button and the other party can be alerted to the danger. Press the green button to make a normal call. As long as the headphones are plugged in, the words spoken by the other party can only come in from the headphones. This set of things is valid within a 2000 sub-radius. At the time of delivery, we use this system to communicate with each other and ensure the safety of people and goods. ”

The three of them discussed for a long time, finalized the details of how to collect the money and deliver the goods one by one, and Wolf and Duchamp went to find a new hotel, which was ready to be used as a new hideout, and Goethe returned to the hotel alone. It was busy until midnight that Duchamp returned to the State Guest House and lay down sleepily.
