Chapter Seventy-Four: The Quarrel Before the Luncheon
"Captain, you are still so powerful, it is really the strength of an S-class warrior, now I have repaired your Double Dragon Spear, you see how it is, it will definitely make you stronger!" After I fought against Saoga, Alan trotted all the way to me, holding my Black Horn Double Dragon Gun in both hands and said to me. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Thank you, Alan!" I looked at the Black Horned Double Dragon Gun in Allen's hand, its appearance has not changed, except that there is a cylindrical metal decoration in the middle of the gun, which makes the gun a little longer than before, although I don't know how Allen repaired this spear that had been broken, but it feels good to see it appear in front of me with a new look.
"Captain, look!" Alan grabbed the extra metal decoration in the middle of the Double Dragon Gun with his hands and twisted it hard, and the Double Dragon Gun actually separated again, turning into two short guns with black blades, it turned out that Allen used that metal decoration to cleverly turn the Double Dragon Gun into a long gun that can be both separated and assembled, which is really smart!
"That's amazing, Alan!, how did you come up with that?" I asked Alan, surprised.
"Hehe, Captain, although I don't have the Dwarven forging skills, mechanical transformation is my specialty, so I thought I would install this metal device that can be separated and combined on your broken spear, so that you can take a more flexible attack!" Allen said to me with a proud face, and the little tail wagged non-stop.
I took my Black Horn Double Dragon Gun from Allen's hand, and looked at this spear carefully, Allen's transformation of it did not add much weight to it, it was still so easy to use, I followed Allen's example and twisted the metal decoration in the middle of the gun body, and the spear was immediately separated into two short guns, which I held in my hands separately, which was really good!
"Hehe, Captain, the book on mechanics I bought at the bookstore yesterday inspired me a lot, I upgraded my weapons and equipment last night, and soon you can see my results!" Alan said to me excitedly, eager to show it to me immediately.
At this time, Harvey came up to me from a distance, "Chris, Master Daken wants me to inform you that he is going with Alice to attend a luncheon at Speaker Anthony's mansion at noon today, and I hope you will be ready to accompany him to this banquet." ”
I was stunned for a moment, oh my God, attending Speaker Anthony's luncheon? What a high-profile banquet, it must be attended by celebrities from high society, and it is not good for us little mercenaries to go there? Mr. Deken really values us!
Harvey saw what I was thinking, and said to me with a smile, "Don't think too much, Chris, anyway, we're still bodyguards, and we have our own duties, and the main thing here is to protect Lord Daken and Miss Alice." ”
I scratched my head and said to Harvey, "I know, I must do my job!"
After watching Harvey slowly leave here, I said to myself, "Looks like I'm busy again today!"
"But it's not bad to see so many upper-class people in China, I must be able to gain a lot of knowledge!" said Emma, who was standing next to her, excitedly.
"Don't get too excited, it's not good to lose your manners!" said Anne to Emma.
"We are not here to have fun, and we must not forget our duty to protect Mr. Dackon and Miss Alice. Neil reminded us.
"Hmm!" everyone nodded in agreement, it seems that today is another colorful day compared to yesterday...
It was soon noon, and we drove to Speaker Anthony's mansion in two magic cars, as we had done yesterday. However, in the car, I could see that Mr. Daken was tired, I am afraid that he rested too late yesterday, and has not recovered yet! As for Alice, she still looked unhappy, and held her Jean Paul, who was silent in the car, and ignored Mr. Daken next to him, presumably still angry that Mr. Daken came back too late and did not accompany her! Listen to Captain Harvey, Mr. Daken only came back at three o'clock this morning, and he has not slept for a few hours until now. His affairs yesterday should have been very tricky, that's why it took so long, as a big businessman, although he looks very rich on the surface, he usually has to pay corresponding hard work to achieve today's achievements!
Within a few minutes our car was in front of the Speaker Anthony's mansion, which was not far from Mr. Daken's estate, and in a charming part of the rich area, although not as luxurious and wealthy as Mr. Dacon, but it was also magnificent and very magnificent. I heard Mr. Dekkon say that Speaker Anthony was originally in business, and the scale of the business was not smaller than his, but in the end, he abandoned business and entered politics, which led to today's results.
At this time, there were already a number of magic cars parked in front of Speaker Antony's mansion, and there must have been quite a few guests in his mansion, right? We got out of the car in turn, and Speaker Antony's attendant led us to the door of the mansion. At this moment, we are wearing a neat black suit, and the woman is a beautiful little dress, and no one can imagine that we are just a group of mercenaries in the desert, right? But we can only send Mr. Daken and Alice into the hall, where private guards are not allowed to come and go at will, which means that we can only watch them eat a delicious lunch from the outside, and this is the difference between bodyguards and employers.
However, as soon as we had sent Mr. Dackon and Alice into the Speaker's house, we heard two men arguing violently, and a large crowd of guests surrounded the two men who were arguing, so that we could not see who was arguing, but could only hear voices, and one voice sounded so familiar:
"Father, the current international situation is getting worse and worse, the Western Starlight Empire is eyeing our country's dragonstone resources, and constantly coercing us to export more dragonstones to them, but these are important strategic resources, and selling them to them with very developed magic guide machinery is tantamount to raising tigers!"
"Xiu Jie, these are all decided by the House of Representatives after the vote of all the members, as the Speaker, I have no right to change the decision of unlimited free trade, but as long as the trade between the two countries is mutually beneficial, I believe that peace will continue forever!"
"These parliamentarians are short-sighted people who only see short-term interests in the near future! Because they can make great profits and improve their political performance by constantly selling dragonstones, they are in favor of unlimited free trade, but these are not considered from the perspective of the country's long-term strategy! Father, don't forget, the martial island country of Nirisan actually recognized the Starlight Empire as its suzerainty a while ago, and now it is building warships, uniting with the rest of the small island countries to frequently provoke off the coast of our country, and it is obvious that they will collude and plot against our territory..."
"That's enough! Your words are too alarmist, the other side is provoking us, it is also true that they have invaded us several times in the past few hundred years, but they have all been repelled by us one by one? And now I have asked General Morgan to do a good job in the defense of the coastline, and I have sent ten more soldiers of the corps over, there will be no problem!"
"Father, the current war is not won only by the number and fighting spirit of the soldiers, the large-scale use of magic weapons is the key to determining the victory or defeat of the war in the future! Moreover, Morgan and Theodore on the desert border are all the way to the goods, and they can't fight, but they are good at corruption and bribery, and I don't know what they relied on to become generals! The military discipline of most of the armies on the border has been damaged by them, resulting in a serious decline in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and now they have all affected the internal security forces of our country to maintain law and order..."
"Shut up! Xiujie, stop slandering our country's Demon War General! The soldiers love their generals very much, and it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks!"
"Father, I have proof..."
"Get out! I don't want to listen to you anymore, every time I say that there is evidence, the result is that it is false to send someone to investigate, you don't want to do anything else!"
"Father..."
"Get out!"
“...”
Then, I finally saw one of the protagonists of the quarrel, Xiu Jie, who was angry and walked through the onlookers on the third floor and the outer three floors, and walked briskly towards the door.
Is it so unfortunate that the situation in China is already so unoptimistic? It is really surprising that yesterday, who was giving an enthusiastic speech at Chuo University, had a quarrel with his father, Speaker Anthony, at this time today!
I looked at Xiu Jie who walked over quickly, thinking about what was on my mind just now, but I didn't expect Xiu Jie to walk without eyes (he estimated that he was confused at this time, and he was also thinking about something), and I bumped into him, it was really surprising, his body was so strong, his body was about the same as my eldest brother, he was tall and big, and his strength was so sufficient, plus I was defenseless, I was immediately knocked to the ground and sat on the ground.
"I'm sorry, Chris, for being rude!" said Xiu Jie, who bent down and held out his hand to me.
"It's okay," I replied, grabbing Xiu Jie's hand.
“!”
I suddenly raised my head and looked at Xiu Jie, why did he know my name? It is said that he should have only seen me once yesterday, why does he know my name now? Thinking of his stunned expression after seeing me yesterday, he seemed to have known me for a long time, what the hell is going on?
"How do you know my name?" I asked Xiu Jie.
Xiu Jie didn't speak, lowered his head and stopped looking at me, pulled me up with all his might, and then opened the door and walked out quickly...
