The cave monastery was originally built by a group of ascetic monks. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It took them forty years to excavate the monastery from the rock face to form a prototype, and two hundred years have passed since then, and after four constructions, the cave monastery has become what it is today.

Like the headquarters of the Chainsaw Brothers, the inner layer of the monastery was excavated from the mountains, but not on a larger scale. The construction of the stone chamber can only be described as crude, and even a few fist-sized holes retain the necessary ventilation, and there are no windows.

After Ye Qingxuan's identity was verified by a musician, he was respectfully invited to the abbot's office of this monastery.

The stove in the corner dissipated the dampness in the stone room, but it was still cold.

Ye Qingxuan sat on the chair and waited silently, until half an hour later, the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in from outside.

He seems to have some premature senescence, gray sideburns, a standard Anglo skeleton and face, thick knuckles, and rough calluses on his palms. Although the muscles are not exaggerated, they are full of power.

There is an atmosphere of the army between the moves, and the style is hard-line.

"Hello Mr. Ye, I have admired my name for a long time. ”

He stretched out his hand to Ye Qingxuan and introduced himself: "I am the temporary head here, Colonel Xavier. ”

Ye Qingxuan raised his eyes to look at him, looked at his hand, but had no intention of holding it.

The Colonel Xavier's tone was subtle, not resentful, and his contemptuous tone was well disguised.

He was called Mr. Ye, but he didn't care about his identity as the sword-wielder.

Although handshake is common, it is mostly used at the same level. With Ye Qingxuan's authority, as Maxwell's designated successor, the head of the Fifth Department under the state of emergency, he saw him, he should salute, and then transfer the command.

Instead, he took two subordinates and made himself wait for half an hour, and after being late, he pretended to come to shake hands with him enthusiastically.

His gaze fell on the two men behind Xavier.

An old man in a robe, holding a cane, looked like a monk of the Church, but he did not wear a badge, and the robe was not the ritual garment of the Order. The rings on the ten fingers looked bejeweled, but even the blind could feel the aether fluctuations in them.

is a musician, and his attainments are definitely not low. No music or alchemy equipment is used, but the moisture and cold are naturally cut off.

It is the gravitational force formed by music theory in the body and the regular friction of the material world, and the natural music theory buffer layer formed around the body. It's like an iron ball that naturally sinks on the blanket.

Distortion level, at least.

The other was much younger, with well-made glasses, and his eyesight seemed to be inadvertently good, while the calluses on his right index finger and thumb indicated that he had been copywriting for many years. This is the quality of a scribe, a scholar, a lawyer, or a mid-level government official.

But neither of them had the coat of arms of the Fifth Division.

Now it's interesting.

The corners of Ye Qingxuan's mouth hooked up a sneering smile.

was left to the side by Ye Qingxuan, Xavier's expression remained the same, but the muscles in his eyes trembled slightly. As if nothing had happened, he withdrew his palm and sat down on the landlord's seat in the office.

"Along the way, Mr. Ye has worked hard. ”

Xavier was not rude, and still maintained respect: "I have asked people to clean up the room for you, a batch of supplies has just arrived, the cook has made a lot of good things, you can eat later, and have a good rest tonight." ”

"Good. ”

Ye Qingxuan nodded, and did not continue to be polite to him, and was straightforward: "How many members of the Fifth Department are currently here?"

Xavier had a smile on his face: "Something happened in the middle, we still have three hundred and seventy-four people, but we are not in good condition. We ......"

"Enough for now. ”

Ye Qingxuan interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "The boat I brought encountered some things on the way, and someone with engineer qualifications needs to participate in the maintenance, you can arrange it later."

Hopefully tomorrow the hull will be repaired and we will be able to hit the road soon. ”

Xavier fell silent, and his smile grew hard.

"Mr. Ye, you have come from afar, I'm afraid you still don't know the situation. ”

"The enthusiasm of young people is admirable, and I can understand your eagerness, but the fifth sector has its own way of moving and functioning, and you have not been involved in specific actions, and it will take a while to adapt and understand," he said. Otherwise, if we make the wrong response, I am afraid that we will lose a lot.

If there is anything, everyone can discuss it together. Supplies are not running low, and the operational staff are not in good shape. Until there is no further situation in Anglo's headquarters, we should not act rashly. ”

Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

He didn't speak, his fingers tapping on the table in front of him, staring at Xavier's expression.

The high-sounding set of words is so smooth to say, I'm afraid this passage has been prepared for quite a long time, right?

Not like a man of action, but like a politician.

Ye Qingxuan, you are too young and inexperienced, and you have not even participated in the operations of the fifth department, and you still need to polish and experience. Moreover, the supplies are insufficient, the state is not good, and the state of affairs is unknown......

In short - you know a!

In the long silence, Ye Qingxuan's fingers tapped on the table, and the crisp sound was like a small chisel, chiseling Xavier's smile away little by little, making his smile dissipate.

In the end, it turned into a mutilated embarrassment.

"What else?"

Ye Qingxuan suddenly asked, "Are there any other excuses or reasons?"

Xavier's expression twitched, and for some reason, he was annoyed by the small sound of banging on the table, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Isn't that enough?"

He asked coldly.

Ye Qingxuan shook his head with a smile, "I think, you got one thing wrong from the beginning......"

He got up, palms propped up on the table, and bent down to look down at Xavier:

"I'm not consulting and asking for you, and I'm not prepared to listen to your excuses. So, you don't have to go through the trouble of finding a reason. ”

As he spoke, Ye Qingxuan raised his palm, raised his middle finger, and showed him the ring on it: "You don't need any qualifications and experience, and you don't need to know my qualifications."

Maxwell is not here, I am the head of the Fifth Division, and I am your commander. I said to repair the ship, then I repaired the ship. When I say when to act, then when to act.

Before you speak to me, identify yourself, Xavier 'Colonel'.

- This is an order!"

The faintly hoarse voice echoed through the air, turning into a thunderous roar that made the room tremble and the stone walls hum.

Xavier's eyes flashed with fierceness, as if he had made up his mind, but in the stabbing stab, a palm pressed against his shoulder.

It's the old musician.

The music vibrated to dispel the noise in his body, and also forcibly restored his composure, no longer affected by the hints mixed in Ye Qingxuan's words.

Xavier took a deep breath and stopped looking at Ye Qingxuan.

"It's late at night, Mr. Ye, I'm afraid you're tired. ”

He squeezed a voice out from between his teeth: "Let's rest first, and the rest will be talked about tomorrow." ”

Ye Qingxuan glanced at the old musician behind him, and seemed to be smiling.

Retracting his gaze, he turned away.

The door closed.

After a long silence, Xavier let out a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Mandel, why are you holding me back?"

"You're doing what he wants you to do. Mandel said, "Don't forget who he is now, if you dare to do anything to him, you will give him an excuse to kill you." ”

He paused and glanced at the direction in which Ye Qingxuan was leaving: "He will never hesitate." ”

Xavier's face turned pale.

"He dares!"

Having said that, Xavier actually knew it in his heart.

Of course he dares, why wouldn't he?

The Fifth Division is not a political agency, it is an institution of violence, a factory for executioners and tools of murder. It is a state of emergency, and wartime regulations are used, and if Ye Qingxuan has the opportunity, he will never be relentless.

In silence, Xavier sat in his chair, smoking the last few cigarettes, his face cloudy in the light of the flames.

"I've put him in that room. ”

He suddenly said, "Master Mandel, I'll leave it to you next." ”

"Good, you made a wise choice. ”

Mandel nodded, "Go rest assured." Tomorrow, he won't be a threat. ”

Xavier snuffed out the cigarette.

"I hope so. ”

-

In the cave monastery, in Ye Qingxuan's room, a middle-aged man with a beard leaned back on a chair, filled the last liquor in the bottle, and wiped his wet beard.

"Your Excellency, this is not what you told us. He complained, "Your subordinates don't seem willing to trade power for you." And, I'm afraid they don't welcome you. ”

Speaking of this, he shrugged his shoulders and looked at the location of the door: "My crew has been taken care of, and my ship has been left outside, wind and rain. ”

"Don't worry, Captain Igor, my promise is still valid. ”

Ye Qingxuan, who was resting with his eyes closed on the bed, opened his eyes: "Go back and rest, and when the matter is over, if you are not satisfied with your own remuneration, I can add more." ”

Igor sighed helplessly: "To be honest, I am satisfied with the money you promised me, but I just doubt it...... Now how much is your name worth in the hearts of those people.

If you're not sure, we can run away. The ship is still there anyway, right?

My crew are all good lads who have seen blood, and it's no problem to kill them...... You must not slap a swollen face and become fat, if you are rushed in tonight and hacked to death, who will I find to end the payment?"

Ye Qingxuan smiled.

"Mr. Igor, are you an Asgardian?"

"I prefer to say that I am the son of the sea, although the sea is sometimes like a. Igor shrugged: "But I'm really Asgardian, yes, you know by my name." ”

"Then you must have heard a proverb. ”

Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes and whispered softly in skillful Asgardian:

The real power does not remain in the hands of the thief, it chooses the master who is worthy of it. And after drinking the dragon's blood, the one who can not die is the strong, isn't it?"

Igor looked at him with a brow for a long time, for a long time, shook his head and sighed:

"I hope so. (To be continued.) )
