【Alien】Section 4 Regulus (II)
Regulus then began to explain to Danco and Marshall how they had gone to Joshua and then the Church of Light for help, and Marshall suddenly interjected when Neil Cross opened the rift to send them over.
"Then why does the old man want to help you, and since he has such a convenient and quick infiltration method, he actually doesn't use it, isn't he also a part of the infiltration mission!" Marshall looked at Danke, wanting to seek an explanation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Danco did not respond to Marshall, but said to Regulus: "It is indeed too risky for you to go to Neil for help, since he has already known your identity, it is not too surprising that he is willing to help you unconditionally, but what is their purpose......"
"I don't know, I just know that he approached me before and asked me to cooperate with them, saying that he would let me know the truth of everything, the truth of the gods......"
"The truth about the gods?" Danco frowned, he thought for a moment, and his glancing eyes noticed Luna standing beside Regulus, so he asked, "This is ......"
"Oh, she's Luna, she's my friend, and I came to San Lucas to help her make her wish come true. Regulus realized that Luna hadn't protested that he had introduced her as a friend, but only nodded to Danco and Marshall.
"Don't go on and on here, we're on the hunt, if you don't want to be caught, let's go!" Marshall interrupted the conversation they wanted to continue.
"What's going on?" asked Regulus Danko.
"Let's talk as we go, we've got to find a way to infiltrate Hull first. Danco motioned for Regulus and Luna to follow them and head east.
A few hours later.
The four of them finally walked out of the unknown forest and came to the western gate of Hull, and it was already night. There were a lot more guards at the gate than Danko and Marshall had when they first infiltrated the day before, presumably because of the exposure of their whereabouts that had increased their security. A dozen or so guards walked back and forth in front of the gate with torches, and from a distance, the torches connected the city with a ribbon of light in the darkness of the night, like a fiery snake swimming in mid-air, and the sparks blown by the occasional breeze were more like the letters that the snake spit out, as if it was announcing its majesty to enemies that might lurk in the darkness, such as the four of them who were lurking in the grass and did not dare to approach rashly.
"Grandma's, if you hadn't had to spy on that so-called 'big guy', we wouldn't have been forced to infiltrate again now!" Marshall complained to Danke, "It's good now, the guards are several times as good as before!"
"They probably didn't know what we looked like, we were so far away from the crowd on the ground that we couldn't see clearly, as long as we didn't show our own flaws, it should be fine. Danco said.
"What the hell is the Duke you said about coming back from the dead? Is it really possible to do such a thing? Can the man who was blown to pieces ......?" Regulus asked, not worried about the enemy's abilities, but thinking that if he could do it, he would be able to save Alyssa.
When Regulus mentioned the word "resurrection from the dead", he noticed a slight change in Danko's expression, and the muscles on his face seemed to twitch a few times, and then returned to normal: "This question can only be concluded when the truth about the Duke's self-explosion that day is clarified, let's go into Hull first and settle down, it's getting so late now." ”
"Let's just walk over to Hull and say 'we're here to visit,' and say to the guards, 'We're here to visit,' right?"
While the three of them were arguing with each other, they didn't notice that Luna had walked out on her own, and by the time Regulus noticed, Luna had already noticed by the patrolling guards. He had no choice but to follow recklessly, leaving Danko and Marshall, who were still hiding in the grass and watching what happened.
The two guards approached with torches in one hand and swords in the other, and they approached Luna and Regulus, and when they saw the shocking scar on half of Luna's face in the light of the fire, they both subconsciously took a step back, but Luna didn't say anything, perhaps he was used to people's first impressions of her.
"Who are you, and you're going into the city so late?" one of the guards asked, his hand holding his sword half an inch forward.
"Luna, what are you doing here!" Regulus asked nervously as she whispered nervously beside Luna.
"Who am I?" Luna ignored Regulus, her tone suddenly hardened and haughty, making Regulus feel like she had reverted back to the same attitude of contempt for everything in the Pearl Courtyard, "Soldier, I beg you to be respectful!" Luna said as she pulled out an object from the baggage she had carried with her since leaving the Pearl Courtyard, and Regulus noticed that it looked like a box, with a very delicate shape and a very delicate carving on it, glittering in the firelight.
"This ...... This is!" the two guards were stunned when they saw what Luna had pulled out, and then they both suddenly got down on one knee in front of Luna, and said respectfully in their voices, "Miss, I'm sorry...... It's a rude us!"
If Regulus surprised Luna every time he took her to meet a big shot, Luna shocked Regulus more than he surprised Luna before. Regulus froze in place, watching the two St. Lucas' guards kneel respectfully in front of Luna, unable to utter a word.
"Little ...... Miss, why are you ...... Why did you come back from outside so late?" one of the guards stammered.
"This is my long-lost brother," Luna said, gesturing to Regulus beside her, "Those two are my servants," Luna shouted back in the grass hiding from Danko and Marshall, "Why don't you come over to me, haven't you found what I dropped?"
Danco quickly understood Luna's intentions, and pulled out a bracelet from the bag that once belonged to his wife, Taylor, and then grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and wiped it on his and Marshall's faces, and ran out of the grass with a crawl. He walked over to Luna with broken steps and stammered deliberately, "Little ...... Miss, I'm looking for your bracelet...... Found ......"
"Well, it's just taken a little longer. Luna reached out to Danco with her left hand and put on the bracelet Danko handed her, which was surprisingly the right size, and then threw her burden to the grizzled Marshall, who came out after Danke, "Give me a good hold, Miss Ben's luggage must be carried by herself?"
"Yes...... It's ......" Marshall, though extremely reluctant, pretended to be like that.
"I went out to look for my brother this time, and now that I have found him, I can go home with peace of mind. Can you let us in?" Luna looked back at the two guards with a look of contempt.
"Yes, yes! we'll let you go right away!" said the two guards, and quickly ran back to the gate, and after a few moments of conversation with the guards, the gate opened. Luna swaggered ahead, Regulus followed closely behind, and Danco and Marshall both bent over. The guards lined up on either side, bowed in unison as Luna passed, and then closed the gate again as they all entered Hull.
In the city of Hull, in an alley.
After making sure there was no one else around, Luna took the bracelet from her left hand and handed it to Danko, "Give it back to you, it should be important to you, otherwise you wouldn't have carried it with you." ”
Danko took the bracelet and put it in his bag, without answering.
"I said, what the hell is the origin of this little girl, and why are the guards so respectful to you?" Marshall asked, patting his face with the dirt that Danko had smeared on his face.
"You must be a nobleman in the city, right?" said Danke, "and it must be the kind of person with a very prominent position, and the thing you took out before is a symbol of noble status, right?"
"Aristocrat?!" Regulus had never known about Luna's origins, but it was completely surprising that she would be such a prominent presence, who would have thought that a noble lady from St. Lucas would do that kind of work in Vassilian's Pearl Courtyard?" "Luna, are you really a nobleman here?"
"It's my father's relic, that's all I can tell you, it's not too early, let's find a hotel to rest first!" Luna retrieved her baggage from Marshall's hand and walked out of the alley alone, Regulus standing still for a few seconds before following along.
"It's been twelve years, and I'm finally back......" Luna looked up at the full moon in the sky, her tone full of sadness.
