Chapter 40: The Goodwill of the Thirty-Three Kings
ο»Ώ
The man hanging upside down looks very strange, a bit like Jim Carrey's disguised weirdness, revealing a sense of weirdness.
His teeth were very white and he grinned, and at this time, I knew why Yang Yunlong didn't dare to recognize me.
I originally thought that I would be able to hide from everyone if I became a local, so I took the initiative to greet Yang Yunlong, for fear that he would not recognize me, but the other party directly stared at the source, so that Yang Yunlong's side could be inferred backwards and my identity was pointed out.
I took a step back, looked left and right, and saw that from the moment the hanging man appeared, there was a large crowd of people in the cafΓ©.
These people were much more powerful than the people around Mr. Pythagoras before.
At least I can feel that there are at least seven or eight people who can compare to Pythagoras, or the alchemical creature Lawrence, and the hanging man in front of me makes me feel unfathomable.
Worst.
A wave of unsettled, a wave of rises, this matter makes me a little depressed, but when it comes to the end, I will definitely not be afraid, squint at each other, and then said: "Find me something?" β
The upside-down man was a little surprised by my composure, and with a twist of his toes, the man fell to the ground at once, turned around perfectly, and then made an elegant aristocratic salute to me.
He said first meeting at Lower Arthur Hastings.
I said my name was Lu Yan.
The upside-down man smiled and said that he had heard of it for a long time, and your Excellency must know why I am here, right?
I said, is it related to Pythagoras?
The upside-down man smiled and said that there is part of the reason, the Eaton Association in Argentina is currently in charge by me, Pythagoras is the person in charge of Tierra del Fuego, he died, naturally someone has to come and deal with it, but for me, what I am more concerned about is the gentleman next to your identity, I know him, he is the military attache of your embassy in Buenos Aires, so what is your identity?
If it comes, it will be safe, the man in front of him is unfathomable, in the case of Qu Fat's life and death, it is better not to have conflicts, and it is better not to have conflicts.
With this principle in mind, I said, "I have no identity, I'm just an ordinary Chinese." β
Ordinary Chinese?
The upside-down man pointed to my face, and I calmly wiped my face and returned to my original appearance.
Smack, smack......
The eyes of the upside-down man lit up, as if he had seen something amazing, clapped his hands, and said that it was a very amazing means, to be honest, if it weren't for the little girl next to you, I really couldn't be sure of your identity What is this, China's magical disguise?
I nodded, yes.
The hanged man said, "Can I please you have a cup of coffee with this lady and talk about Pythagoras?"
I said okay.
The three sat next to Yang Yunlong, the upside-down hanging man stretched out his hand, summoned us waiters, ordered coffee for each of them, and then squinted at me, saying that at first, I thought it was just a small conflict, and my idea of coming over was just to kill the troublemaker, in your Chinese parlance, it is called killing chickens and monkeys, but after seeing the two, and this Mr. Yang Yunlong, my mind changed, I want to hear Mr. Lu's explanation.
My explanation?
I'm not sure what the other party thinks, but I still told the ins and outs of the previous situation.
The hanging man listened patiently, and then said, "In other words, all these misfortunes are due to the arrogance of Pythagoras, right?" β
I said yes.
The upside-down man squinted, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I want to know where the little friend who killed Pythagoras is." β
I hesitated, then said, "He was taken captive by a shabby ascetic." β
Yes?
The upside-down man was stunned for a moment, what kind of ascetic monk did he say?
I told him what had happened, and when I was done, I asked him, "I wonder if you know such a person?" β
The upside-down man laughed, and said that listening to your description, it looks very similar to a person I know.
Who am I talking about?
The hanging man said, "Prophet." β
I said?
The hanged man explained to me that this prophet, some people call him Adam, some call him Enoch Idlerus, as for what his specific name is, there is no unified statement, he used to be the teacher of two popes, presided over the Vatican Inquisition for three times, and now he has given up his secular position, with 300 disciples, in Antarctica's highest peak Mount Vincent, penance, is one of the most powerful human beings on this earth......
Belch......
has such a luxurious resume, and he is actually the teacher of the Vatican master.
I thought that it was a hermit master or a mysterious existence who kidnapped Qu Fatsan, but I never thought that person was so famous.
And Yang Yunlong, who was next to him, couldn't help but interject and said, "The legendary thing, is it true?" β
Yes?
What legendary thing did I say?
Yang Yunlong said that in the scientific research station in Antarctica, there is a legend that some people have seen missionaries in the company of penguins and recite the gospel, and others have seen groups of ascetics cross the vast wind and snow and cross the uninhabited area...... But these are just legends, although those people say it conclusively and swear, but in an extremely cold place like Antarctica, except for the specially set up scientific research station, it is difficult to survive in other places.
The upside-down man smiled and said: "That's not a legend, the mysterious Antarctica, even if it is in the middle of the national expedition team, it is difficult to go deep into it, and they don't know the mystery inside......"
I suddenly interjected and asked, "What is your relationship with the prophet?" β
The upside-down man laughed, shrugged his shoulders, and said Don't worry, I am not friends with him, and I can even say that I am an opponent, the hypocritical Holy See has always wanted to restore the glory of the Middle Ages, and it is naturally hostile to all new forces, and as one of the biggest backers of the Holy See, the prophet Adam, this divine stick has always been the object we want to eradicate......
I asked, "So, who are you?" β
The upside-down man smiled and said Have you ever played tarot cards?
I said no, but I know something.
The upside-down man said: "In the tarot card, there is a big Arcana card, called the upside-down hanged man, do you know? β
I said that's where you came from?
The upside-down man smiled and said yes, the thirty-three kings I am in are named after the members of the Great Arcana card.
Thirty-Three Kings?
This name feels familiar......
I was pondering in my mind when the upside-down man suddenly laughed, and then said to me: "Between the strong and the strong, there is actually a feeling, I respect Your Excellency's strength, I think you can also feel my strength, and the thirty-three royal regiments, the same as me, or even stronger than me, there are twenty-one. β
As soon as he said this, I immediately understood that this time, we had made a big mistake.
However, the upside-down man did not continue to show his muscles, but smiled and said: "Originally, I thought that there should be a battle between you and me, but now I have another idea, that is, I am willing to give you the friendship from the Thirty-Three Kings to resolve this matter." β
Yes?
I said what do you want to do?
The upside-down man raised three fingers, put one away first, and said, "I know that Lawrence died in your hands, so the Satanic Eye in its body must also be returned to me in your hands, which is one of the conditions." β
I reached into my arms and pulled out the brass ring.
I handed it to the hanging man, and he took it, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile, "That's a good start, isn't it?" β
He retracted his second finger.
He said: "The Thirty-Three Kings are developing business in the East, we have a general agent in the East, and he is also a new member of the Grand Arcana brand, if possible, I would like you to give me a face, let me introduce you, meet him, okay?" β
Yes?
I was silent for a moment, then said, "Is this the second request?" β
The upside-down man nodded, yes, the second one.
I said yes, but I don't know how it turned out, and when we meet, it may not be very pleasant.
The hanging man laughed and said I'm not in charge of business in Asia, you just have to promise me to meet him, and I bet you would be surprised if you did, haha......
He bent his third finger and said, "If you want to save your friend, I happen to have a ship going to Antarctica." β
Yes?
I was a little stunned by his third request, and after a while, I said, "Do you mean that you want me to go to the South Pole, is this your third request?" β
The upside-down man laughed, and said no, you think too much, there is no third requirement, the first two are enough, and the back is my way of expressing friendship, whether to go or not, it's up to you......
I was a little confused by what I had said to him.
I looked at him for a while, and then said, "I don't quite understand, Pythagoras is your head in charge of Tierra del Fuego, and if we kill him, it stands to reason that we will have to fight, why are you so tolerant?" β
The upside-down man smiled and said that your worries are justified, but I want you to know that the world is very big, Pythagoras is like dust in my eyes, and all I care about is the face of the Eaton Society, and now that you have given me face, why should I risk fighting you? Besides, the Thirty-Three Kings need friends, and you're the kind of friend I recognize......
He got up, took the black top hat from the assistant next to him, put it on his head, bowed slightly to me, and then said: "In that case, then we will not disturb your conversation with His Excellency the military attachΓ© The ship is at the dock, and it will leave at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, if you want to go, just go over directly, and I will order you......"
With that, he turned and left.
Say:
That person was not Wang Ming, the old king next door refused the kindness of the Thirty-Three Kings Group, please see Gu Ji for details.
