Section 1: Hello Bandit (I)
Section 1: Hello Bandit (Part I
In total, Wolf Bryan is already Townsend's third disguised identity, and his previous two disguised identities are the unlucky No. 1 Townsend Vahuja Tata, and the completely tragic black-streaked night owl Alva twenty years ago.
But unlike the previous fake identity, Wolf was specially prepared for the recruitment of the convoy, and the purpose was very strong.
From a cautious point of view, his identity is not clear, but this is an important factor in his primary election. Because this identity is too much like an undercover agent, and it is the kind of middle-level secret agent who is not up or down. For the current Yintao City, for His Royal Highness the Prince, people like Wolf should be most guarded and controlled.
But once this threshold is passed, in order to achieve his true goal, Townsend must wash away the suspicion of spying on his body. Otherwise, not only will he not be able to obtain information, but his own safety will also be in question. Therefore, he took advantage of Jada's blackmail, and in fact, this is one of the "exam questions" that Prince Pfister has specially prepared for everyone.
Townsend dared to use his identity to disguise his identity to collect money from the big mén mouth fox fake tiger Wei, because "Wolf" is a hard-working person who has eaten the last meal but not the next, and he doesn't make money and thunder
But in the eyes of the cunning fox, this kind of behavior is not in keeping with the principle of the secret agent, because it is too outrageous and too noticeable, and the secret agent will certainly not make such a mistake - and in the same way, the person who makes such a mistake is never an agent.
Self-staining and self-washing, this bend hurts people's eggs, but it is clear and logical, so let's do it
Originally, everything was going well, and with the money he had sent, Shi Shiran walked through the courtyard in front of him and walked into the main building with a smile. Bypassing a large screen, he saw a young man standing in the middle of the hall.
The man was young, dressed in a well-fitting samurai suit with a beautiful one-handed sword hanging from his waist, and stood quietly in the hall. When Townsend looked at him, he was looking at "Wolf Brian" with an unfriendly gaze.
It would have been fine, Townsend had expected this situation, but he didn't expect that the world was very strange—the person standing in front of him had a brilliant fluffy golden hair, delicate and handsome features, and a resolute and determined expression.
That's right, this person is the country thief who fought with Townsend in front of Merlin Pass
Appearing here, this person should be the top of the escort team, so why...... At this moment, after the shock, Townshend's mind was racing, countless thoughts flashed in his mind, but a little smile appeared on his face, and the embarrassment of being "recognized" appeared on his face covered by glue, and then he pretended to raise his hand to arrange his clothes, and coughed dryly.
The face of the "country thief" was calm, but the disgusted gaze betrayed his feelings.
The reason is very simple, Wolfe's blackmailing of others in Mén has already been seen by him, and he has also made a preliminary judgment about the identity of this person - this guy cannot be a secret agent, and certainly will not be a good citizen, he is just a despicable and obscene wall grass, hob rou, and shit-stirring stick
In the eyes of many big people who "do the right thing", this kind of person can't do anything else, but he is dedicated to adding blockages or even adding luàn to others.
The sternness in the eyes of the "country thief" increased, and the expression of "Wolfe" became more restrained, and he coughed again, interrupting the dreary atmosphere with his flickering, thief-like gaze.
"Name?" The sharp eyes of the "country thief" shrank slightly: "Say your name." ”
"I'm Wolf, Wolfe Brian. Townsend straightened his waist, raised his left hand holding the hilt of the sword upward, and gently knocked the lower end of his ribs, while closing his eyelids slightly downward: "It's an honor to meet Your Excellency." ”
Before saying this, Wolf gave the impression of being languishing and even obscene, but after he spoke, his temperament had changed, like a long sword slowly unsheathed, showing his metallic brilliance in front of everyone
"I really don't see that," the thief's eyes flashed, and there was a slight pause in his answer. In fact, what surprised him was not the surname Brian, but Townsend's attitude and etiquette when he spoke: "You actually have a surname." ”
"From early childhood, my mother repeatedly warned me that I was a descendant of the Brian family and had an orthodox family line, and as an heir, I should always keep this in mind. Townsend raised his gaze, and the embarrassment and panic on his face were gone, replaced by humility and confidence: "I wonder if I have the honor to hear Your Excellency's glorious name?"
If two nobles who don't know each other meet and don't have a trusted introducer, one of the means of verification is to check the badge. But Townsend's disguised identity Brian is a broken house without a badge, so he can only use the low-level method of asking for his name.
Townsend also waited to tell the other party: I don't have a badge, so don't bother.
"Felix Boton. The thief put away the teasing smile on his face and replied with a brief salute: "If I'm not mistaken, Brian is not a local family, and the nearest one is thousands of miles away?"
In terms of the information that Townsend has collected so far, although the Boton family is in the ranks of the upper echelons of Yintao City, it is far from being like the sky. This family descended from a certain island in the open sea, the number of the clan is relatively small, and the usual behavior is low-key and mysterious - the thief is from the Boton family, but he has worked tirelessly to work in this third-rate escort, which is really puzzling.
But there's a reason for anything puzzling, and only if you get through it to find out.
"Your Excellency's knowledge is impressive, and yes, the nearest branch of the Brian family is far away. If you start from Yintao City, it will be 4,700 miles by land and 3,600 miles by sea. Townsend nodded: "I walked through it once, but unfortunately, a few years ago, the Bryan family moved further inland, and I heard that it went to the vicinity of the Radiant Holy City. ”
"Then why don't you go along and complain and get your stuff back? Even if you only get the simplest badge in the end, it's a strong proof. The thief put his left hand on the hilt of his sword and tilted his head slightly to look at Townsend: "It's like in the current situation, if you can prove yourself with the badge, you can at least get a captain's position." ”
Townsend understood, it turned out that the thieves wanted to use the reason of "high and low" to send him away.
You say that you are a descendant of a nobleman, then I certainly cannot let you serve as a general guard, but just by lip service, this evidence is not "strong", so the captain cannot give it to you - Townsend has already declared his identity, according to the rules he cannot object to such a decision, because the reputation of the nobles is very important, since he considers himself a descendant, he can only accept this ending.
"I have considered your suggestion, which is human, but at that time there was no condition for implementation. Townsend put away his modest smile and replaced it with a look of discussing knowledge with others: "After careful consideration, I got the answer. I think on this West Coast land, maybe something else would be more convincing than the badge. ”
"Oh, is there such a thing?" the thief was interested, "what is it that proves itself better than the family crest?"
"It's probably going around in a big circle. Townsend replied, "The badge represents my identity, identifies my bloodline." In the absence of the badge, I can only prove it all with my own strength and deeds - the badge will not tell others about my inner strength, the badge will not tell others about my ideals and ambitions, and the badge will not tell others how I can achieve this."
In the same posture as Felix Boton, Wolf Blaine stood straight at the entrance of the mén, and the slanted sunlight shone on half of his torso, allowing one to see the whitish material of his washed clothes and the cuffs of his collar that could withstand máo. However, his eyes were clear and firm, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and the boldness and ugliness of his words faintly shocked everyone in the hall.
In fact, the soft-footed shrimp all found that the direction of the matter had been crooked, but few people could understand their words - every word was taken apart to know the meaning, why did they put together and their heads turned into paste?
"I really don't know how you do this," the thief smiled faintly, "but I know that extortion is not allowed. ”
Apparently, Felix Boton's curiosity about Townsend was raised, and he was using this embarrassing remark to make it difficult for Townsend.
"We can't keep our eyes too far away, or we'll trip over the roots under our feet. Townsend skillfully uses the West Coast proverb: "As far as I am concerned, there are three elements to the realization of the ideal: ability, opportunity, and environment." ”
"But of these conditions, only the first one can be grasped by myself, and the other two are beyond my power, so I can only wait passively - but in the process of waiting, I want to maintain a state of mind, and this maintenance requires money. ”
A descendant of the nobility, as long as + passion He is not a fool, he can tell the darkest things innocently, and he can also say his evil deeds in a righteous and awe-inspiring way, which can be regarded as an instinctive reaction of theirs. For example, Townsend seriously described his extortion in Damén as "raising necessary funds", which is really a piece of dish.
Townsend's intentions don't stop there.
As he said, Wolf Brian without a badge, if he wants to rise, needs the support of opportunity and the big environment. To be more precise, he needed the approval of the Felix Boton in front of him - so Townsend made a temporary adjustment to the plan, and immediately asked Wolf to abandon the "despicable" mask and change to a new look.
Why? Because Felix Boton's recognition can build a solid foundation for Wolf's rise.
His Royal Highness the Prince is now short of a noble descendant who sincerely serves the Prince, and it is obviously worth cultivating. Although the matter came a little abruptly, the reason for exchanging merit for status is very reasonable and fair.
