"It's a pleasure to see you again, Mage Moriarty."

I haven't seen her for several years, and Ive, who has become the vice president of the Doro Chamber of Commerce. Although Ther is still young and pretty, her deliberately masculine dress makes her look extra mature and resolute. In particular, the slightly slender jockey's leather pants and black lace tight-fitting silk shirt support its straight hip line and wonderful chest peak at once, and with a round small black-framed glasses on the bridge of Xiu Ting's nose and blue eyes behind the mirror, it makes people have an urge to "ride" and conquer, as if the person in front of him is not a beauty, but a carmine mare.

"Me too, Vice President Eve."

Three days ago, Moriarty received an invitation from the Doro Aquamarine Chapter, asking him to come to a dinner hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. Originally, for such a communicative scene, the mage generally couldn't shirk it. But now he has something to ask the other party for, so naturally he wants to make a face-saving appearance. It's just that I didn't expect to meet Miss Eve, who I hadn't seen for a long time, when I entered the reception hall.

"Hehe, you call me that, but it's too distant." Eve smiled like a silver bell, and glared at Moriarty with some disgust: "Speaking of which, we are also old friends. If it weren't for your help in the Hurricane Wasteland, Uncle Franklin's caravan would have been wiped out. This time, you handed over the business line with Moon River to Doro to undertake, and I don't know how to thank you. ”

"Haha, little Eve, since you don't know how to thank Moriarty, why don't you give him a few more beautiful drinks." At this moment, Lille suddenly walked up from the other side, laughing loudly.

"Squadron Leader Lille, why do you learn from others to make fun of me!" It seems that Eve and Lille are also familiar with each other, and immediately complained, but at the same time invited the waiter to take three cups of red dew and handed them to Moriarty and Lille respectively: "Then I will do it first as a respect." ”

With that, Eve brought the glass to the pink rim of her lips, and then gulped down the whole glass of wine in a delicate sip, and then two delicate blush slowly crept up her face, as beautiful as the morning sun.

"Hehe, it's still Eve, you're refreshing."

Seeing this, Lille also laughed, and also drained the wine in his glass. On the side, Moriarty had to accompany him with a smile.

"Alright, let's talk about it first. I'll have to look on the other side, or I'll be told to be favoritism. ”

Seeing that the other two were both drunk, Eve smiled with satisfaction, glanced at Moriarty as if intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned and walked towards the group of people at the back of the hall.

"Hehe, this little girl has grown up completely, and she has begun to use Doro's courtesan to support the scene outside." Lille looked at Eve's swaying back, shook his head, and said in a deep voice.

"It's not easy for a woman to take on a chamber of commerce." Moriarty put down his glass and called the waiter for a glass of water.

"You don't have to worry about that. In the past two years, I have also heard that there have been a few guys who are not self-conscious, jumping out and entangled her in different ways, wanting to take advantage of her and taste it, but none of them have a good end. As he spoke, Lille withdrew his gaze and looked at Moriarty with a strange smile: "But it seems that Eve has a little meaning for you, I'm afraid it's still the seed planted by the hero's rescue of the United States a few years ago, right?" ”

"If I say yes, will you believe it?" Moriarty also knew that the other party was just joking, and asked rhetorically.

"Heh, you're so boring." Lille shrugged, glanced at Eve in the distance, and shook his head in annoyance.

"How did you have time to come to Doro's drinking party today?"

"I'm afraid you don't know yet, Gomez, the president of the Doro Chamber of Commerce, has already followed the lead. Once the 'South Side Affair' starts, their caravan will do their best to supply and import all kinds of strategic materials for us. Therefore, today's reception is actually a briefing for all sides, and I am here to show my face on behalf of General Cruyff. Lille said softly, and then sighed: "Originally, it was more appropriate for you, the consultant, to attend such an occasion, but it's a pity that now that you have your own team, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of me in the future." With that, Lille took another glass of wine and drained it in one gulp. …,

"Hehe, you! I've heard that your squadron is about to be expanded into a brigade, and there's nothing to be satisfied with. Moriarty also took a glass of red dew and drank it together: "It's my guard squadron that needs your help." ”

"How do you want me to help?" Lille said briskly: "As long as you don't poach people from me, you know, there are still a lot of vacancies in my brigade." ”

"Not the ones who are going to dig you." Moriarty shook his head: "I'll figure it out on my own in terms of personnel, but I just hope that you can temporarily transfer one or two junior officers from your subordinates to me as instructors." ”

"Instructor? No problem. Lil didn't think about it, and directly agreed: "Actually, Bonda is a good kid, he has a set of training subordinates, and I can lend it to you for a while." ”

"Bonda... Okay, thanks. Moriarty also agrees with this down-to-earth and capable captain.

Then the two chatted casually for a while, until Franklin came in from outside from his busy greeting and walked towards Moriarty with a wine glass and a smile, and Lille nodded and went to the other side.

"Master Moriarty, I toast you. In a blink of an eye, I haven't seen each other for more than a year. Last time I was in a hurry at Fort Ford, I didn't have time to thank you, so don't be surprised. ”

Over the years, Franklin's hair has become more and more gray, which shows that he has not worried about the affairs of the Doro Chamber of Commerce in the past few days. But fortunately, the body is still healthy, and the belly is getting fatter and fatter, and he looks old and strong.

"They are all old acquaintances, and they are comrades-in-arms who share weal and pain, and you are too polite in charge." Compared with the respect for Eve, Moriarty and Franklin are indeed much closer. Over the past few years, the mage has been in contact with each other, and the mage respects this principled and responsible caravan steward from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha, that's right, comrade-in-arms!" Hearing Moriarty's words, Franklin was also very happy, laughed and drank a large glass of wine, and even felt that it was not enough to add another glass.

"Mr. Franklin, has your Chamber of Commerce mediated its dispute with the Savage Totem?" Because he was also an eyewitness to the incident, Moriarty didn't have too many taboos to ask.

"Almost." The steward glanced around, approached the other party and lowered his voice: "Originally, those barbarians have been gritting their teeth and refusing to let go, claiming that they want to completely seal off our trade routes in the wasteland. However, fortunately, with Wolfgang on the side, he got the care of Blue Crystal City this time, and with a large amount of money, the barbaric totem finally agreed to reconcile. ”

"I see." Moriarty nodded.

It seems that the diplomatic mediation of Blue Crystal City to help the Doro Chamber of Commerce reopen the "Hurricane Trade Line" and the Doro Chamber of Commerce to become the "wartime transportation brigade" of Blue Crystal City is just a great exchange of mutual benefit and mutual assistance. Of course, at first glance, it seems that the Doro Chamber of Commerce has taken a big advantage, and it is really a great benefit to be able to open up the southern trade route that has been closed for a year; But from the perspective of Blue Crystal City, what is actually paid is just a little bit of face. It's a joy for all.

"Next week, I will go to the 'Wolf Castle' with Miss Eve to make final negotiations with the Savage Totems and hand over the reparations." After a few more pauses, Franklin cautiously revealed to Moriarty.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Moriarty's eyes lit up slightly, and then he looked at the steward suspiciously. It stands to reason that such a top-secret inside information should never be told to an outsider by an experienced steward, even though Moriarty and Doro have always had a very good relationship.

"Hehe, for the sake of this negotiation, there are still some things to ask you for at that time." As if knowing what the other party was suspicious, Franklin just smiled calmly and said, "Miss Eve is waiting in the side hall now, and I hope to discuss it with you further." After speaking, the steward also made a gesture of invitation. …,

"Okay." Moriarty looked at Franklin, thought for a moment, then nodded, and followed the steward to a small corridor behind the hall.

After a few small turns, Franklin stopped in front of a half-closed carved wooden door and smiled at the mage. Moriarty then pushed the door open and walked in, and the wooden door behind him immediately closed again.

In the small hall, the decoration is splendid.

The towering ceiling, the huge oil painting mural "The Playful Eros 'Milleth'" with an exhibition of more than 100 square meters is beautiful and eye-catching. On the four lacquered walls, rows of checkered mercury mirrors illuminate the room like a crystal palace. And the most surprising thing is that in the middle of the small hall is a huge white grand piano. At this moment, Eve, who has changed back into a classical lady's dress. Shutilus was sitting at the piano with a smile on his face.

Looking at Moriarty, who had just entered the room with a stunned expression, a long-awaited look of smugness finally appeared on the young vice president's face.

"You may be seated, Mr. Moriarty." Eve pointed to the only seat in the small hall, which was the "auditorium" in front of the grand piano.

"Thank you, Miss Eve." Although he didn't understand what the other party was trying to make a name for, as a gentleman, Moriarty calmly sat down in his seat.

"You're my first... Listener, Moriarty. So, I want to give you this tune. Eve smiled a little shyly, and then, without waiting for Moriarty to reply, pressed her slender fingers lightly on the black and white piano keys.

Immediately, the elf-like notes began to dance slowly in the small hall as if riding the cheerful wind.

However, listening to the girl's gentle and melodious piano music, Moriarty's brow furrowed silently. Despite his ignorance of the rhythm in both the Old World and the New World, which was only appreciated by the public, Moriarty quickly recognized Eve's playing. For once upon a time, Matiel had hummed the same melody softly on his chest for a long time, and then he left without looking back.
