John returned to the villa, and as soon as he stepped through the gate, several soldiers who had been waiting in the hall for a long time hurriedly greeted him, and the non-commissioned officer led by him smiled,

"Master John, remember us?"

John raised his head and couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the person coming,

"Robert, why are you here?"

Hearing this, several soldiers glanced at each other, not knowing how to answer this question, they couldn't say that they didn't have money to live in a tavern, so they wanted to come to the manor to eat and drink!

John's mind was in a hurry, and he looked at their dusty appearances, and seemed to understand something, and laughed,

"It's great that you've come to see me, my friend, it's been a long time since a friend has been a guest on the manor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After speaking, she said to the servant beside her,

"Tell the kitchen, let them prepare dinner, I'm going to have a good time with these friends who have come from afar."

"Young Master, you are so polite."

Robert was grateful, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where, as it should be, among friends."

John patted him on the shoulder and led the soldiers to the side of the dining room.

Bright candles stood side by side, the smell of food filled the whole space, a few glasses of wine were down, drunk and slightly red, and a few people gradually chatted.

John picked up his glass and touched it with Robert, and said with a smile,

"I heard that you weren't transferred to Wilson, why did you come here, and you didn't inform me before you came, so I wasn't prepared at all."

"Not for that brute!" Before Robert could speak, a drunken soldier next to him explained the reason.

"Brute?" John frowned, glanced at the rank on Robert's shoulder, and said with a smile, "What kind of beast is so powerful, and you want you, the lieutenant of the army, to go out in person." ”

Robert smiled bitterly and said,

"Have you heard anything about the northwest?"

John nodded, "I found out in the evening." Immediately, he understood something, his face became serious, and he whispered, "You are not going to kill that Fenrir wolf!" ”

"What else can there be?" Robert took a sip of wine, his slightly red face was helpless, and he scolded angrily, "Damn! It's all a good thing done by that beast, more than a thousand lives, and with a wave of his hand, it's gone.

It's no wonder that the top is not angry, the order came down in the early hours of this morning, asking us to kill that guy desperately, and for this reason, even a third of the soldiers in Mississippi were transferred to the Misty Mountains garrison, and our team was unlucky, so we had to come over. ”

Hearing this, John's brows furrowed, this matter was even more serious than imagined, one-third of the army in Mississippi, tens of thousands of soldiers, just for that beast.

A strange feeling involuntarily surfaced in his heart, John put down his glass, patted him sympathetically on the shoulder, and said,

"Then what are you going to do, you really have to go over and fight that ancient monster."

Robert nodded helplessly and said, "The list has been transmitted by telegram, at least I have to report it in the past, otherwise my rank of lieutenant, which I managed to get through with great difficulty, will be gone."

However, those of us who serve as soldiers are also towns, and the real battle is not our turn yet. ”

"Oh!" John was a little curious, and asked with a smile, "Without you, is there anyone else who can't." ”

"That's nature!"

Robert burped, some drank too much, his mouth leaked, and he said what he shouldn't have said, "I've heard of the secret force, it's the group of people specially trained by the high-level, those guys are as strong as monsters, the main force of this battle is them, we... Belch... It's just to watch the scene. ”

"And such a thing!"

John picked up his glass and touched it, his eyes narrowing slowly.

After a hearty dinner, the well-fed soldiers went to sleep in the guest rooms with their servants.

And John also left the villa.

Secret Forces, Government, Witcher Brotherhood, Ancient Creatures......

Hehe! It's such an interesting world.

With a smile on his lips, he walked in the soft moonlight, and before he knew it, he had come to the hut where he lived.

At night, the small house stands beside the beautiful garden, still as calm as ever.

At this moment, several cold gazes suddenly came from the side.

John turned his head to look, and after seeing something coming out of the shadows, his face stiffened slightly, and the next second he regained his composure, casually glanced at the three of them, pushed open the wooden door, and said at the same time,

"Come in!"

After saying a word, the three of them were stunned for a moment, their cold gaze disappeared, and their expressions were a little weird.

"What? Don't want to enter? John frowned and asked,

William gave John a deep look and said in a deep voice,

"You're the first human in the more than 700 years I've been a Bloodline to dare to invite me through the door knowing my true identity."

"Oh! I see!"

John smiled, strode into the room, and complained to himself: If you hadn't blocked the door, the ghost would have let you in!

The candle was lit, the wooden door was closed, and the faint light of the fire illuminated the small room, John lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said,

"What about Serena? Where is she and why don't you come to see me. ”

William glanced around the room and said, "No one knows where she is, and as for why she didn't come to see you, only she knows." ”

John was silent, spat out the smoke, and said,

"So what are you doing here?"

Jon, a vampire dressed as an Indian, stepped forward and said, "I heard that you have cooperated with the Church and become acquainted with the Templars. ”

After saying a word, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and the killing intent suddenly spread in the air.

After a long time, a sentence came from the smoke,

"Yes, I did work with them." After speaking, under the cold gaze of the three people, John continued to speak,

"I'm going to deal with Andrew, you don't show your head, I had to ask the church for help, but unfortunately it didn't work."

"Why?" William asked in a deep voice

"The conditions he put forward were too difficult!"

"What conditions!"

John smiled and held out a finger, "Build a cathedral on this land, on five acres." ”

A hint of surprise appeared on their faces, and the three of them looked at each other with shock in their eyes, the five-acre church, those miscellaneous people should not build a base on this land!

John flicked the ash from the front of the cigarette and said sarcastically,

"Five-acre cathedral, huh!

It wasn't enough to sell the whole Condon Manor, they weren't cooperating, they were robbing, I didn't agree, so the cooperation fell apart, and I was kindly [invited] out of the church by them. When he said the word "please", John gritted his teeth, his face was full of unwillingness, and his resentful emotions were vividly expressed.

He took out the cigarette in his hand, threw it into the trash can on the side, and said,

"You're here tonight, shouldn't you ask me for this?"

Hearing this, the three of them suddenly became embarrassed, before coming here, they did have the idea of asking guilt, but now it seems that this idea is a little ridiculous.

Jon took a bullet from his bosom and put it on the table, saying,

"We're here for this."

The gray warhead shimmered in the dim candlelight, a glow that only exists in silver.

"You want bullets stained with silver juice." John said in surprise, feeling a little strange that a vampire would want such a thing.

"Yes!"

"For the werewolves?"

"That's right!" Jon nodded and said, "Fenrir is here, those puppies will definitely come, there should be no less, these bullets are for them." ”

Hearing this, John's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, he didn't expect the impact of this incident to be so big, the army moved, the government moved, the werewolves came, and even the vampires couldn't hold back.

What are they for, Fenrir is still the treasure it lost.

John pondered, and after a moment, he took out a wooden box from under the table, opened it, took thirty rounds of ammunition for his own self-defense, and gave the rest to them.

"There are a hundred rounds of paper-shelled bullets here, all stained with silver juice, enough for you, but," said John, holding down the wooden box, "I have a question to figure out before you guys do that." ”

"What exactly did Fenrir lose?"

"A ball!" William did not hide it, and there was no need for this, the news would definitely spread in a few days, "The whole body is dark gold, and there are many lines engraved on the surface." ”

After saying that, he pushed John's hand away, opened the wooden box, carefully examined the bullets, and after making sure that they were correct, he grabbed the box and walked out with the other two, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly turned around and said,

"A word of advice for you, don't go northwest these days."

The door closed, and the trio soon disappeared, but the peaceful hut could no longer be calm.

Spheres, metallic, dark gold, patterns.

John muttered to himself, his pupils constricted, and he quickly took out the oil painting that Derek had given him.

The azure light occupies the pupil of the left eye, which shines motionlessly in the center of the painting.

"Zero, you say, isn't what Fenrir lost this mechanical orb?"

"Quite possibly!" After a pause, it affirmed its claim, "If nothing else, it should be the one that Mr. Condon threw away." ”

John closed the oil painting, his face was cloudy,

If it's true, then he can't stay out of it.

Derek has done so many things with the orb, it is impossible to hide it from others every time, once someone tells the truth that he once owned the orb, those dark creatures hidden in the shadows will definitely not let him go, and as a son, he can't get rid of the fate of being implicated.

"Are you going to change your plans?" Zero asked,

"No!" John shook his head and said, "It's still going as planned, going to Memphis tomorrow." ”

"Maybe you should think about it before you decide,

After all, this is a terrible thing, and once the news gets out, even if the dark creatures know that the orb is not here, they will surely turn Condon Manor upside down. ”

"You mean to let me go to the Smoky Mountains to see how the situation is developing."

"Yes!" Rarely, Zero made an extremely dangerous suggestion, "Although it is dangerous to do this, it is better than not knowing anything and dying in vain, you are there, you can always get first-hand information, and it is more convenient to deal with it." ”

John pondered for a moment and considered the suggestion carefully, but the reddder still shook his head,

"What you say makes a lot of sense, but I can only refuse."

He picked up the oil painting and put it on the candle flame, and the light of the fire ignited the oil painting, and also ignited the dark gold mechanical ball.

"With my strength, I can only play the role of cannon fodder at this time, it's too risky and it's not worth it,

When the cannon fodder is all dead and the situation gradually becomes clearer, maybe I will get involved. ”
