Chapter 2 Arrival

On the afternoon of July 10, Europe, Crown County.

Leonardo da Vinci Airport was heavily guarded, and hundreds of knights under the command of the Iron Commandment were on standby, and the guns in their sleeves were all filled with live ammunition, and ten knight-captain-level powerhouses and one flag bearer were in charge. It is completely in a state of readiness to welcome the visit of the members of the Counter Cross.

They were supposed to have arrived three days ago, but it was only during the last call yesterday that the adviser said that the plane they were flying on would land there at noon today.

As a result, it was already half past one in the afternoon, there was not even a bird in the sky, and there was no sign of UFOs entering the radar around the Iron Commandment.

Just as the flag bearer Sueside was about to report to the other party that the other party had released the pigeon again, someone saw a strange black shadow in the sky with the naked eye.

But when I saw an antique biplane coming slowly from the sky, when approaching the runway, people found that the plane did not even have wheels underneath, and there was a longer and wider ski on the left and right sides of the plane, and the truss structure was like a rudderless sled. It is obviously impossible to land smoothly by relying on the friction between these two boards and the ground, and it is estimated that the plane will fall apart in less than five seconds after hitting the ground.

Of course, the people on the plane understood this, so they didn't plan to land at all, and when they flew over the airport, they simply chose to skydive. Three figures jumped out of the plane, and then they magically detonated the abandoned plane behind them, indicating that they had planted explosives on their vehicles in advance......

As the so-called pure masters never look back at the explosion scene, they didn't look at it either, because the explosion happened overhead, and they couldn't see it through the parachute.

The parachute descended slowly, and the people waiting below had enough time to surround the three men individually.

The advisors, gunsmiths, and dark waters were captured like prisoners, but they were not handcuffed, but many guns were aimed at their heads at close range at all times.

The three were "invited" to three separate cars and driven to the headquarters of the Iron Order.

Once they arrived, they were taken together to a special room for their reception, an interrogation room surrounded on all sides by net alloy walls. This was originally the government building of the Empire, so it is not surprising that there are such rooms.

After they were locked inside, Agostino Lodovico, the Santa-like inspector of the Santa Claus shrine of the Iron Commandment, and his secretary, Mr. Dasher, an avid admirer of Mexican culture, entered the next room and opened one side of the wall to reveal a piece of tempered glass that was bulletproof, explosion-proof, radiation-proof, and anti-everything. Through this piece of things, they finally greeted the object of this "cooperation".

"Mr. Advisor. Lodovico said as he looked at the three men across the glass.

The one on the left is the advisor, Lodovico has seen his footage, and through a few words, the real person looks very young, at most in his early twenties, born white, and his shirt and pants, including his face and hair, are all dirty, as if he has rolled in the mound.

The young man in the middle, who was a few years older than the advisor, looked a little unhappy, and was already sitting cross-legged on the ground. This person Lodovico also knew, the gunsmith, who used to be the Empire's weapons consultant, a few years ago because of the "Blue Gift" program and the Iron Commandment, in fact, it was just an Imperial clean-up operation, but because the gunsmith experimented with his new invention at that time "Blueberry Bomb" in the operation, which caused the Iron Ring to suffer heavy losses, so the account was credited to him.

The man on the right was the oldest, looking in his thirties, but he was a little young and bearded, and he was staring at the glass without saying a word, and like the other two, he was sloppy and embarrassed. This man Lodovico didn't know.

When the advisor heard this, he replied, "What are you doing?" ”

"I have a few questions that you need to answer. Lodovico said.

"Can we talk in a different setting, for example, as agreed on the phone, we will have a big meal first, and then we will each stay in a luxury suite, take a hot shower, and then find a decent place to sit down and talk to you. The advisor replied.

"Mr. Advisor, do you understand where you stand?" said Dasher.

"Fifty percent of our current situation is due to your unilateral hostility and untrustworthiness, and the other 50 percent is due to your ignorance. ”

Lodovico said: "So, I want to ask, why do you think that the excavation work that we cannot complete will make some kind of breakthrough if you three outsiders intervene?"

The advisor walked over to the glass and pretended to roll his eyes upward, as if he was really thinking about something, "Let me think about it...... First of all, I take my IQ out of the fraction and divide it by two, so that I can think on the same level as you. And as soon as you opened your mouth, you pulled me and your gang to the same level, speculating on the results that would result when we did the same thing, and asked me this question in a rhetorical tone.

Second, if you have to ask for a reason, I can also tell you that the gunsmiths have successfully explored and walked out of a more dangerous relic than the one you are exploring.

As for the one, Mr. John DeSoto, is a famous explorer, you can go directly to the public Internet and search for his name, and even find several books from him.

Finally, I would like to ask, on what basis can you assume that what you stupid people can't do, others can't?"

"You can speak, young man. Lodovico was not angry, and instead said, "However, even if you have no problem with your ability to do things, what about your position? The Reverse Cross has invaded the apostolic system, which has had a huge impact on the interests of our organization in Asia, causing unexpected losses, and ...... I don't know how to know about this excavation. Isn't it suspicious that you have offered to intervene and help us now?"

"Hah!" the advisor sneered, "It's very suspicious, then I want to ask, with your wisdom, what is the worst situation that you can think of?"

Before Lodovico could reply, the advisor said, "Sabotage within you, assassinate important people, plunder the resources in the ruins?

As to why I have come to your aid, I have said in my newsletter before, and until now the initiative is still in our hands. Because objectively speaking, you need our help. If you want something in the ruins, you have to involve us in the excavation, it's as simple as that.

You can assume that we want to wreak havoc within you, assassinate someone important, and by the way, plunder the resources of the ruins. But even so, the Iron Commandment still needs us.

Therefore, you can watch out for our every move at any time and without disguise, but you must offer the three of us together as the Lord until your purpose is achieved. After that, you can turn the other cheek, and at that point, you can interrogate or threaten us as you do now, but there is no point in doing so now, it will only waste each other's time.

Do you understand my analysis like this?"

Lodovico thought for a long time, indeed, the other party has use value, and he has already made it completely clear, what is the point of imprisoning them? Each of these three people is useful, and it is impossible to detain only one to threaten the other two.

The top priority is the excavation of the ruins, not the interrogation of their intentions, even if they are interrogated, it is in vain, the three possible situations, the other party has just admitted all of them, what else is there to ask?

"Dasher. ”

"In. ”

"Get ready, wash the dust for the three guests. Lodovico said to the advisor: "Young man, you are very arrogant, and perhaps you also have arrogant capital, but you should not use such an insulting tone to your elders. ”

The advisor replied: "Respect is earned through hard work, not through inheritance or money to buy, let alone something that can be obtained by relying on the old and selling the old." His eyes were even more full of disdain and disdain than before: "If you talk to me in such a lecture-like tone again, it will be a humiliation for yourself." ”

Lodovico was quite annoyed in his heart, but he still did not have a seizure, snorted coldly, said no more and left.

After the other party left, the gunsmith looked up and said to the advisor: "What if you let him say a word, they have already done what you say, and they just want to find a step down the stairs when they say this." What if he is so annoyed by you that he really locks us up and tortures us for the sake of excavating the ruins?"

"Only by being aggressive can you see the other party's strength and bottom line. The advisor replied nonchalantly: "Besides, since it is impossible for us to establish any trust between the two sides, we don't need to save face for each other." ”

The gunsmith said: "If there is a stalemate, I am afraid that in addition to the dark water, we may both be captured or even killed." ”

"There's no need to worry about that. "Don't forget, we stand under the banner of the Reverse Cross," the advisor said. I dare say that there is no rebel group in the world today that dares to go to war with us head-on, or to actively oppose us.

They don't understand us and can't ignore or despise us. Other organizations, including the Empire, their attitude towards the Cross is just as much as you are worried about your own situation at the moment, and they don't know what the consequences will be if they provoke us, it may be no big deal, or it may be a catastrophe. ”

"The strength is unknown, the purpose is unknown, and the members are unknown...... The only thing that has come to the eye of the world is the prison escape and the rumors of the killing of the Celestial Guard. The gunsmith continued: "Sure enough, powerful and unpredictable is the most effective deterrent, right......?"

The advisor replied, "That's a good point, so whatever we do, as long as it's not suicidal, at least our lives are safe." The men of the Iron Discipline will also wonder what they can do against the Cross after killing us. ”

"There could be no reaction, or it could be a release of biological weapons or something...... Hehe, put yourself in their shoes, I don't know how to deal with people who go against the cross. The gunsmith said, "What an organization that fits your agnostic." ”

They talked for five minutes before someone opened the door to the cell, and one of the knights said to them with a blank face, "Please come with me." ”
