Chapter 199: Long Talk
For cigarettes, Arthur Pendrey instinctively hates it, most elves, half-elves naturally hate three things, the sea, fireworks, and vinegar, so she directly snatched the strange paper roll that can smoke in Don Quixote's hand, and pressed it hard into the ashtray on the ground, of course, Arthur Pendrey didn't know that this thing was called an ashtray, "Damn civilian, this is my study!"
"Then Queen, what are you looking for me?" said Don Quixote as he lit another cigarette, and it was obvious that he was going to follow this woman to the end today.
"Whew~~" Arthur Pendre took a deep breath, she knew that the man in front of her was a guy who ate soft and not hard, so she didn't bother to bother with him anymore, otherwise, I was afraid that she would really be unable to help but punch him a few more times, "In the upper drawer behind you, there is a dozen parchments." β
Don Quixote rubbed his body to the side, opened the bottom drawer with his hands behind his back, and reached out to touch it, there was no so-called parchment in it, but he touched a few soft and long things, and when he took them out, they were not sanitary napkins or anything.
"Smack!" Arthur Pendri's thick book in his hand slammed into Don Quixote's face, "Bastard, aren't you indistinguishable?"
"Hiss~" Don Quixote took a light puff of his cigarette and carefully read the content of this dozen parchments, and then he narrowed his eyes with his habitual surname, because there were a lot of information related to him recorded on it bits and pieces, and some things, even Don Quixote himself had no impression, so to speak, many important things he participated in in the past two years in Britain were recorded, of course, some of them had nothing to do with him, and they were obviously misinformation.
"Wait, this is?" Don Quixote read very quickly, so after a few breaths, he saw the last piece of parchment, which, though as large as the others, contained only one sentence on it, "In December of the year of four three and fifty years, I cannot remember the exact time, the chief ordered me to follow the search for all the things that happened to Don Quixote the Lich in Britain, some strange, even if they seemed to have nothing to do with him, but." At this point, the confession came to an abrupt end.
"Whew~" Don Quixote took a last breath and extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, "When?" Don Quixote's face at this time no longer had the ease and freehand just now, and the final hole card was so easily exposed, anyone would be like this.
"After I returned from my vacation in the Elven Empire, my direct agent told me that Yara Both, the last person in the information you read, used his power to do a lot of hidden things, I felt a little strange and arrested him, and searched from his home for the information you saw, of course, these things were sorted out, and the last one was I forced him to ask him for a confession, and as a result, he only said one sentence, and the whole person's soul seemed to be ignited, and the soul disappeared almost instantly. β
Don Quixote leaned his head against the desk, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something, and for a moment the study fell silent.
"Are you really a lich?"
Don Quixote nodded slightly.
"That's why you rejected the offer to become the Prince of Britain?"
"Hmm. β
"But," moved Arthur Pendri, moving to Don Quixote's side, "how do you explain the night you stayed at your house more than half a year ago? β
There was a silence, seeing Don Quixote who was too lazy to take care of himself, Arthur Pandley curiously stretched out a finger, with a trace of strength and gently pushed Don Quixote's face, warm, with a bullet surname, if it is a spell disguise, his finger attached to the power of the knight king can definitely break the spell, "Then," Arthur Pendrey's five fingers together, put his hand on Don Quixote's chest, and the defensive spell attached to his body was instantly broken.
"Bang!" The sound of a healthy and regular heartbeat startled even the well-informed Knight King, "This is impossible!"
Don Quixote, who seemed to have figured something out, opened his eyes and removed Arthur Pendrey's hand, which was pressing on his heart, "When it comes to true God, nothing is impossible. β
"True God" Arthur Pendley suddenly showed a relieved expression, obviously she almost forgot because she was too surprised, the man in front of her was the guy who held the relics of the gods, that is, Arthur Pendley had a trace of envy on his face, "The true god resurrected you?"
Don Quixote shook his head, "Using the knowledge given by the true God, I have researched my own ways to attach to the living, and after all, I am still a lich. β
"Who's the guy who tracked you down?"
Don Quixote shook his head, "A very dangerous and crazy enemy that has nothing to do with you, so you don't care about this matter." β
"Dangerous?" Arthur Pendri's tone was clearly disdainful, of course, her disdain was for the mysterious force, "this king would like to see what kind of person it is, and will make you say that!"
"So, you strong women are sometimes very annoying," Don Quixote shrugged helplessly at Arthur Pendrey's unrelenting stance, "You want to jump in yourself, don't say I didn't stop you," and then told him what he knew about "Lantes" Having told Arthur Pendry about things and what he thought of that person, it was clear that Don Quixote knew that the woman in front of her was not allowed to be in her country, that something was out of her control, and that she was the kind of woman who was so possessive that she would kill you if she didn't listen to me.
"According to what you say, he is really a madman, but, a person who can't even handle an empire, still wants to overthrow the theocracy, I suddenly feel that you look up to him a little, if he doesn't have the help of the secret techniques you said and the mysterious bald head, in fact, he is really, cough ~ cough, really nothing. β
"When~" Don Quixote knocked on the drawer with the back of his head, and instinctively snuffed out the cigarette in his hand under Arthur Pendrey's expression, "I can only say that this guy is unlucky, in fact, I am curious, originally, he overthrows or does not overthrow the true god This kind of thing has a fart relationship with me, but every time it is coincidental to stand on the opposite side of him, and now even you are involved, in short, you have to be careful, don't underestimate him, it's best to tell the queen of the elf empire about this." β
Arthur Pendley tilted his head, "Don't think that if you care about me like this, I'll forgive you for what you gave me." β
"Haha," Don Quixote took the parchment scattered on the floor and threw it into the bottom drawer, "I won't admit it, I reserve the right to sue you in the noble court." β
"Hmph, stay in the palace at night, I just brought a lot of specialties from the Elven Empire, and I promise you haven't eaten them, although it's a waste to give you this lich to eat. β
"Nonsense, I'll tell you," Don Quixote rolled up his sleeves, revealing fair, vibrant skin comparable to that of an elf, "I am the same as a living person, and I have to eat, drink, and sleep the same, how can it be a waste." β
"That's the case, even if it's a fallen true god, it's not for mere mortals to speculate, by the way," Arthur Pendley asked suddenly, "I've never seen a lich's life box like when I'm so old, can you show me?"
Don Quixote stretched, then looked at Arthur Pendrier with an idiotic look, "I've never seen the knight's panties like when I'm so old, can you show me?"
"Bang~"
"Squeak~"
The desks in the study appear to have been displaced for a long time, while rubbing against the floor creates a screeching noise
Late at night, Don Quixote was lying alone in the room arranged for him by Arthur Pendry, with a warm and comfortable bed, a whirring fireplace, and some food, perhaps because he was afraid that he would be hungry, by the light of the magic crystal lamp, Don Quixote was looking at the list provided by Winterlock, of course, for the sake of secrecy, Don Quixote could not take all the people on this list away, and suddenly there was a group of alchemists missing, and fools knew that there was a problem here, so Don Quixote was ready to find a few of the ones he needed most at the moment, like Sinkid, who were alchemical experts specializing in the study of basic units, he did this just to deal with "Lantes", as for the relationship with the Char Empire, at most it is just a mutual use, anyway, everyone has the same enemy.
"Hmm," Don Quixote nodded a few times, "just these three."
Early in the morning, Arthur Pendrey was eating breakfast while looking at a parchment airplane that she had left beside her bed after waking up, although she had noticed it when the paper airplane flew in, but she knew that Don Quixote would not have malicious intentions, so she didn't say anything, and she was still a little sleepy at the time, so she didn't bother to get up and say goodbye to Don Quixote.
"First, friend, my identity should be kept secret. β
"Second, don't trust anyone around you easily, with your care, you will always find something strange about those people. β
"Third, you must seek protection from the Elven Empire, that guy has a god-level powerhouse to help, you are not an opponent. β
"Fourth, in fact, I lied to you yesterday, I saw the color of the knight king's underwear, which is white."
"Bang!" the brand-new solid wood table in front of Arthur Pendry was shattered along with the breakfast on it.
Most of the alchemists are the same as Sinkid and Winterlock, with high IQ and low EQ, and even life is difficult to take care of in serious cases, it is conceivable that those life alchemists who were dismissed and voluntarily resigned, in fact, their lives are not satisfactory, after all, alchemists are also people, they cannot be proficient in all departments of alchemy, and it is good to be able to make a living, so compared to the lucky Sinkid, Don Quixote across the five states of Britain found the remaining three guys who are in a down-to-earth life are obviously much happier, and immediately agreed to Don Quixote's request, without even having time to hesitateγ
This can't help but make Don Quixote think of one thing, or the news he saw on Earth, a very good heart bypass doctor left the hospital because of exclusion, forced to sell eggs for a living, and later went abroad to become a doctor with a high annual salary, in Don Quixote's view, these people and the doctor have experienced different things, but the situation is similar.
People, first of all, must be fed before they can talk to him about morality, faith, and patriotism, so they are poor and displaced, and they easily betray their country and run away with Don Quixote.
Don Quixote can also understand Arthur Penderi's approach, after all, as a half-elf, she is born with an aversion to these, but at this point, she is not a qualified king, of course, Don Quixote will not persuade that woman, in fact, she is similar to herself, a person who will never be swayed by others, so Don Quixote is too lazy to waste words, and if she doesn't do this, she will not be able to pick up these four life alchemists.
"You're really a devil!" looked at the three past colleagues standing in front of him, and the somewhat lonely Sinkid said lightly.
"Hah, are you willing to sell your soul?"
"Well," Sinkid sighed, "do you think I have any reason to refuse?, well, my friend," Sinkid stood up and looked at Don Quixote with some excitement, "My life, my dreams, my everything, are all on you!"
"Don't worry," Don Quixote smiled slightly, "buy me, win!"
