Chapter 768: Turning the Earth Upside Down (3)
The candlelight in the room was still beating tirelessly, and the atmosphere was slightly ambiguous. Feeling a little embarrassed, Valkyrie hurriedly asked without words, "Are you ready for tomorrow?"
Dipu also felt the change in the atmosphere, and he pretended not to know, but still acted calmly. I'm leaving the Demon Realm tomorrow, and I'm never going to come back in the future, so why bother provoking Valkyrie?" So Dipu shrugged: "Lord Windermere should have arranged everything, right? It's a little ridiculous, although I'm the commander of the legion, I don't even know much about where I'm going, battle plans, and so on. β
Windermere was Dipp's deputy, and he had met him a few times these days, a very shrewd and capable man. However, no matter how shrewd and capable he is, he will become Dipp's enemies in the future, including those who have better relations with Paro, Roentgen, GΓΌne, and Lulu...... , even Valkyrie and Kiri. Maybe when we meet again, it will be when the two sides meet each other on the battlefield. So at this time, Dipp's mood was somewhat melancholy.
"Then you'll have to use a snack. Valkyrie chuckled and began to unbuckle her armor, "I've seen all those old generals, they're all very nice people. Learn more from them, and don't be ashamed. Listen to them on the battlefield. In fact, there is a sentence I have always wanted to say, you should communicate with them more. Forget it, anyway, after arriving at the Holy Land, I will always find an opportunity. And ......"
Valkyrie didn't seem to feel that her chatter had turned into a conversation between family members. Maybe at the time of parting, it will be so easy to reveal the true feelings......
Even at night, when he was lying in bed, Dipu still couldn't sleep. He couldn't help but wonder: Is he a little too much? Is he too greedy? A very precious night, at this time Dip has a very rare conscience.
I thought about tomorrow's expedition again. Dipu was a little confused. There's something interesting, but that's to blame for Dipp himself. Since I don't want to come into contact with Kiri. These days, Dip did not enter the city to participate in any military meetings, nor did he communicate much with Windermere and other officers. This led to the result that Dipu did not know the end of the passage at all. Where exactly is it in the Yuansheng Continent?
And Dipp only discovered this problem in the past few days. At least he knew where he was in the Yuansheng Continent, so it would be convenient for him to escape, right? However, due to his previous indifference, the current Dipu couldn't even open his mouth to ask. At this time, Dipu was somewhat self-deprecating: This can be regarded as a kind of pretending to be a fool!
Anyway, without thinking much about it, Dipu closed his eyes: "Everything is waiting for tomorrow." β
......
In a luxurious small building in Blue River City, a table of wine banquets is being placed. The empty plate on the table indicated that the feast was coming to an end, and an old man was holding a glass and toasting to Duke Slomka: "Lord Duke, this last glass wishes you a happy marriage." Military affairs are in the body, and I will definitely not be able to catch up with your wedding wine. I can only toast you here. I hope that when we meet again, I will call you 'Your Majesty'. !"
The two of them took their glasses and drank them all. The people in the house have long since been dispersed. Duke Slomka seemed to have too much wine, and his eyes were a little misty. He bared his tongue and smiled, "Uncle Jack, I wish you success." Reggie is a pity, and I want to go out with him on the Holy Land when the time comes. β
At the mention of "Reggie", although the smile of "Uncle Jack" did not change, his expression froze. Earl Jack is none other than Reggie's father. Just over a month ago, Reggie died of a "heart attack after making a fool of himself." Count Jack is also one of the legionnaires, and tomorrow he will go out with the same group as Dip.
However, the Duke of Slomka did not seem to feel the pain of Count Jack, as if he had forgotten his measure. "Uncle Jack, I told you last time that Reggie's death was all caused by that nouveau riche. You also said that you want to seek revenge on the nouveau riche. But I thought about it. The other day, the nouveau riche didn't go into the city at all, he stayed in the barracks all day, and he didn't have a chance at all. And then to the Holy Land. Even more in their respective armies, there is no chance. So tomorrow's ceremony is the next best opportunity. Uncle. What do you think? Do you want me to help?"
"Hehe!" said Earl Jack, stroking his beard and smiling, "I remember that." Don't bother the Duke. β
"No trouble, no trouble!" said Duke Slomka, who seemed more anxious than Jack. He took out a dark green potion from the storage bag next to him and handed it to Earl Jack, "Just send someone to open a small wound next to the nouveau riche, and you will die of poison." and thou shalt apply this potion upon thy weapon. Reggie is my good brother, and his business is my business. Uncle Jack, you won't be scared, will you?"
Facing Duke Slomka's pressing steps, Count Jack was stunned again. But he quickly recovered, and hurriedly took the potion, put it in his storage bag, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Lord Duke! There will definitely be good news tomorrow." β
"Huh...... Then I wish you success and another drink. β
"No, no, I have to rest early. β
"Just a drink!"
"Uh...... Okay then!
β......β
Leaving Duke Slomka's residence and getting into his car, Count Jack's face suddenly darkened. Earl Jack, of course, was quite angry and sad about Reggie's death. However, he did not suspect that it was poisoning, but only believed that Reggie first ran naked at the banquet, and then was scolded by Empress Queen, and happened to be sick, resulting in an incurable death.
Earl Jack is a scheming man, he is not a stunned young man like Reggie. Slightly provoked by Duke Slomka, he doesn't know the east, west, north and south. Therefore, although there is a kind of hatred for Dip, it does not reach the level of hatred to the bone. After all, Reggie died "sick", not by Dipu. If given the chance, Earl Jack certainly wouldn't mind giving Dipu a ride. But at a price? Earl Jack will have to weigh it up.
And Duke Slomka's appearance is too ugly. Everyone understands that he hates Rip even more than Count Jack himself. The matter of Dipu and Jili can't be hidden at all, and the upper echelons of the demon clan have long been spreading the lace news of "Duke Slomka's cuckold".
So although it is "Duke Slomka is helping" in words, in fact, it is using Count Jack as a gunman. And in spite of Earl Jack's feelings, he forced him to do it at the ceremony tomorrow. So at this moment, Count Jack was somewhat chilled by Duke Slomka. (To be continued.) )
