Chapter 47: The Gathering
Moments later, three black-clad soldiers walked out of the door of the intelligence office, and someone next to Austin immediately stepped forward to answer them. Austin's eyes froze, although the three of them were neatly dressed and there were no scars on the surface of their bodies, they also had dark wounds everywhere in their bodies, and their faces were swollen as if they had been blistered.
There was a faint anger on Austin's face that could not be suppressed, but when he saw the intelligence officers who were eyeing him, he still didn't say anything after all. If he dared to make any moves, the other party would not mind re-arresting himself and the three of them, and the crime of attacking the military headquarters would definitely not be able to escape.
"Thank you, Mistress Braben, and if I have no other orders to go first, we will not forget your generosity. ”
Bla nodded knowingly, turned around and walked into the courtyard, even though the ordinary soldiers were very reluctant in their hearts, they helplessly watched Austin and the others get into the truck, and walked away with a thick puff of black smoke.
Austin asked his men to drive, and instead of sitting in the passenger seat, he got into the car with Davix.
"Blazing Bear, after you go back, ask Johnny to send a gift to the Viscount of Blaben's mansion, and let Johnny take care of the specific gifts, and report the expenses to me when the time comes. ”
"My lord, military expenses are fine, it's a big deal that Johnny will go to the logistics headquarters to get something. Although the bear was reckless, he was not stupid, knowing that Braben had sold a big favor to Austin, and that a return gift was necessary, but he couldn't figure out why Braben was so easy to talk to.
Austin let out a sigh of relief, cold sweat already soaking his back. The acting skills just now were really super high-level, which made the other party have the misunderstanding that Feng Lantlin was watching from the sidelines, otherwise this matter would be really difficult to do, and he didn't want to trouble Feng Lantlin on the first day of his tenure.
After returning to the Operations Department, Austin no longer had the desire to meet people and lecture, and the previous shocking intention was all in the palm of the torn arm at the door of the Military Intelligence Department. I believe that the twenty or so people who saw this palm would quickly spread the power of his palm in one place.
After that, there were a bunch of things, first of all, the office would be moved to a designated office area, and then there would be the handover of various documents and procedures, as well as the arrangements of the original twenty-one people under him. For someone like Austin to deal with such a thing, it is really better to face Braben's attack directly.
Austin rubbed his temples vigorously, sighed, and saw the documents sent by von Lantrin on the table, and reluctantly picked them up and dealt with them one by one.
Suddenly, Austin saw an invitation on the table, Austin was stunned, this kind of thing is usually sent to the mansion after being screened by the housekeeper, and then sent to Austin, how can it be sent directly to his office?
Austin looked at the inscription in the lower right corner, Morogie.
Sure enough, only this reckless and simple kid can do this kind of thing. Austin smiled bitterly in his heart, but also felt a warmth, this is indeed the practice of treating himself as a friend, so he will ignore the so-called aristocratic etiquette.
Open the invitation, which invites him to attend a meeting of the Young Guardians tomorrow night, where others will introduce him.
At the end of the invitation was a note from Moroghi, stating that in addition to Louvre, another promoter, Tira, would also be present to meet Austin. Moroji vaguely pointed out that the announcement of his promotion to baron could come down so early, and Tira played a great role in it, hoping that he could come.
Austin had been completely disrespectful of human feelings, but now he was not able to deal with it.
In the evening of the next day, Austin put on a black military uniform at the mansion and stood in front of the mirror. Let the maid adjust the golden tassel on her shoulder.
Gadlin smiled wryly and said, "Why don't you tell me first? I'll prepare a tuxedo for you......
"No, it's not a formal party, just tear it off and get together. ”
"Alright," Gardlin said helplessly, glancing over Austin's body again, feeling that there was something discordant.
Suddenly, Gadlin exclaimed, "My God, master, what do you have on your waist?"
Austin touched it and said blankly: "Tactical dagger, this is the standard equipment of the Operations Department, but I ....... it."
"Of course I know it's your standard equipment," Gardlin said, "but are you going to take this thing with you to the party?"
Austin groaned for a moment and said, "It really doesn't seem right...... But aren't they all about what to wear?"
Gardlin shouted, "Mr. Davix! Mr. Davix, don't you have a lot of swords, find a gorgeous one for your master!"
After a while, Davix walked into the cloakroom and handed Austin a bayonet sword.
Austin took it and looked at it, after the source power was injected, it flashed with colorful light, a brilliant rainbow wrapped around the sword, and three orange balls of light slowly rotated around the hilt. The whole sword is inlaid with more than a dozen large and small diamonds, and there is a huge ruby at the hilt, which sparkles in the light. However, there are six or seven properties attached to the sword, most of which are for decorative purposes, and only one sturdy effect is barely considered for combat.
"This is also ...... Is it a stabbing sword?" Austin froze.
"Of course, it's a stabbing sword, and it's at least four times the price of your tactical dagger. This is the furnishings in the homes of those big nobles, and ordinary people can't use it. ”
"And how did you get here? Don't tell me you bought it. ”
"Uh...... I used to touch it when I followed Lord Von Lantrin to raid the house. Davix scratched his head and laughed.
Austin nodded, and didn't say anything, this is a normal thing, it's just that this thing is more valuable, and it should have been handed in, but now that it's taken, it's going to be taken away, and its owner is afraid that his soul has long been in hell, and he doesn't know.
"David, come with me at night. ”
"I'm going too? Isn't it just you who call? ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
Seeing that Austin had made up his mind, Davix didn't say anything more.
At six o'clock, an open-top carriage stopped at the entrance of the Golden Radiance Hotel in Apocalypse City, and Austin took Davix out of the carriage and threw five coppers at the coachman.
True to its name, the entire exterior of the Grand Hotel is resplendent and sparkling. This hotel is one of the best hotels in the city of the Apocalypse, barely ranking among the most exclusive hotels, and some nobles with low titles like to come to this place when they need pomp and circumstance. However, the owner of the hotel is the Jinhui Consortium, which is one of the largest consortiums in Apocalypse City, and the supply in it is everything.
The two Austins walked to the door, and the waiter in the dress politely stopped the two and said, "Sorry sir, this place is reserved today." ”
"Aha! This must be His Excellency Baron Austin! It is better to see than to hear, you are indeed a military demeanor, heroic posture, standing here with the same momentum as ordinary people. ”
Just when Austin was stunned by a series of praises, a young man came out of it, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with eyes as green as Austen, but there was no Austen's coldness, only a feeling of spring breeze, like a pool of spring water rippling layers of ripples. However, in this pool of water, it gives people a bottomless feeling.
As he spoke, he held out his right hand.
Austin shook it politely, and found that it had calluses peculiar to people who often played with guns, but the strength of the hands was not great.
"Hello, I'm Austin, may I ask who you are?"
"Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself when I was so excited to see you!" said the man who came to exaggerate not much different from Gardlin, "My name is Tira, Tyra Burton." ”
