Chapter 94: Executive Officer

Give orders to the personal guards outside the door.

"Kemorrah—are you there?"

The sound of a paper door pushing open.

The young snake guard fell to one knee and kowtowed to Darcy and Ulfin.

"Mistress Dacis, are you looking for me?"

"Where's my hookah?"

"Inside the Argassis Room. Need I get it for you now? ”

"I'm in trouble."

The paper door closes gently.

Ulfin squirmed her slippery snake body and slowly crawled to Darcis's side.

"Haven't quit smoking yet? Didn't know that smoking is bad for your lungs? The enemy doesn't know when the enemy will attack, so take this opportunity to quit smoking, which will help you in battle. ”

Dacis sneered disapprovingly.

"Quitting smoking is not something that can be done in a few days, and it doesn't mean that you can get better if you don't smoke for a few days."

"That's true, but there has to be an opportunity and a beginning."

"Opportunity...... Is it? ”

Thoughtfully, Darcy looked at the empty eleven cushions.

"It's not too early. Once again, the talks ended without a hitch, and in fact they were also in my prediction. The seemingly unprogressing talks have already come to an end, Xiaoda, you don't think about how to make Xiaoma change her mind. ”

"What if I take the initiative to propose peace talks to the other side?"

"I think if Xiao Ma knew, she would definitely be furious."

"Yes—but, on the other hand, why don't we use each other to change our existing predicament?"

“…… Don't do it. Instead of believing in such an unknown enemy, listen to me and cooperate with the army of the Kingdom of Aynk! I will inform them of this crisis and ask them to help. ”

"Nope."

Darcis's tone was rare for Ulfin.

"The sacrifice of the fish-people tribe has not been accompanied by half of the human race to apologize or mourn, and our three races are not in the same place as the human race! The problems between us and the earth are solved by ourselves! You don't need to rely on human help. ”

“…… That being said, we are not in a position to criticize the Fish-People who did not stop or aid the Fish-People in the first place. ”

A short rhetorical question instantly solidifies the atmosphere.

Darcis's face was expressionless in contemplation.

"You go out of here and let me think about it alone. Don't mention the matter of letting humans help, I'll put it aside for the time being, but it doesn't mean that I will acquiesce to this plan, I will use it as a record when I can't help it. ”

"At least not resolutely reject the offer, I believe that Xiaoda will get the best result. In any case, I support your decision, for the sake of the future of the land, and for the sake of the interests of the three clans. ”

After speaking, Ulfin nimbly crawled out of the window and left the castle.

The paper door slowly opened again.

"Lord Dacis, here comes the cigarette you wanted."

"Thanks, help me put it aside."

"Yes."

Following Darcis's instructions, Kemorrah carefully placed the clean cigarette at Darcis' feet.

Looking at the empty conference hall, there was no snake shadow of Ulfin.

"Huh? Did Lord Ulfin leave? ”

"Just left."

"I see, then ...... meeting on defending against the enemy?"

"At the end of the song, people are gone."

Skillfully operating the smoking utensils and uttering four simple words made Darcis's eyes reveal long-lost sadness.

July 18, 1927, 7:47 a.m.

Immediately behind Grossal, it only took ten minutes to walk from the restaurant to the Magic Guild's branch.

The two stopped in front of the door of what appeared to be a Whitechapel building.

"This is the branch of the Magic Guild."

Grossar kindly introduced Kui Yong.

Contrasting with Kui Yong, who was covered in pitch black armor, it seemed that the heavenly sanctuary was incompatible with Kui Yong. Kui Yong raised his head slightly and looked at the magnificent and simple magic guild in front of him. The spacious iron gate is hung with a "chapter" gold signboard.

The gate was crowded with members of the kingdom and guards, mixed with visiting magisters from all over the world, each holding a few scrolls in their hands, seemingly very important documents.

Grossar noticed Kyuyong's gaze.

"Those people have ID cards and test reports about themselves."

"Do I need an ID card to get tested?"

"Yes."

“…… Unfortunately, I didn't have my ID card with me. ”

The real reason is that the adults did not issue themselves with exclusive ID cards. I'm afraid I never expected that Kui Yong would come to the magic branch to test his strength.

"It's okay, I can use my position to help you deal with it, let's go first."

"Yes."

The two walked briskly into the congested branch.

The guild on the exterior of the church exudes a western cowboy style in the style of a tavern, and the guest area is in the same style as a regular tavern, with a table full of guests enjoying beer and barbecue, all of them happily chatting and chatting.

The counter in front of you is not a public office attendant, but a professional bartender in a straight suit.

I thought it was a very serious office atmosphere, so that when I just walked into such a cheerful environment, Kui Yong was stunned.

"Mr. Grossar, are you sure this isn't the Magic Guild?"

"Don't be nervous - the Magic Guild has set up a special area for everyone to rest, and usually some graduates or soldiers who have completed the test will drink and chat here, but now because of the special festival, business will be so good."

"So how do you get tested? You can't ask the bartender, right? ”

"I'm familiar with the insiders, and his office is in the seating area. You wait here for a while, because you don't have your ID card with you, I'll have to talk to the clerk privately. ”

"Then I'm bothering you."

Grossar then walked to the small wooden door to the right of the seating area.

Leaving alone in cold silence, Grossar stood out from the crowd.

"Kui Yong, why did you agree to this human's request? 》

"Do you mean something about magic detection?" It's just pure curiosity about what kind of state the strength of God is in this world. I'm interested in these things, and of course, I'm going to hide a little bit of strength. 》

"It's good to know the proportions, and the adults have also told us that our behavior may cause panic or attention from humans, don't forget that you are here to ask that human being. Einke's whereabouts. 》

"That's nature. But since you're an avid experimenter, aren't you curious about how humans measure the strength of magic? Or are you, who were human beings in your previous life, already seen it? 》

"I'm still curious. Hundreds of years ago, the standard of evaluation was not as good as it is today, and there may be new tricks. 》

"Then satisfy your intellectual curiosity with my actions." 》

There was still one empty seat left in the seemingly full crowd - and Kui Yong walked over.

There are eight long dining tables in total, and the guests are standing side by side or looking at each other, so they can relax and enjoy their leisure time even if they don't know each other, and even start looking around for someone to talk to.

The people of this country are really full of vitality - it should be said that this country gives people vitality.

Kui Yong carefully moved his heavy and burly armor through the crowd, and finally sat down.

The small wooden bench made it a little hard for the huge Kui Yong to sit, and he moved his butt three times and twice to sit firmly.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar greeting came out of his left ear—

"It's been a long time!"

Suddenly, the deep voice of a middle-aged man came, as if he was speaking to Kui Yong.

Kui Yong didn't care.

"Ignore me? Have you forgotten me? ”

The conversation again confirms that the strange man on the left is talking to him.

The pitch-black helmet slowly turned to the left.

It's a bloated, fat man in a gray leather coat. The plump ten fingers are adorned with colorful orb rings, the thick neck is hung with layers of gold and silver necklaces, and the signature of a renowned tailor is engraved on a leather coat of the finest goose feathers.

In the face of a tall and cold knight like Kuiyong, there is no fear or awe. The hideous smile unintentionally revealed the big mouth studded with gold teeth, and the eyes piled up by the flesh of the cheeks did not shy away from looking directly at Kuiyong.

Full nouveau riche look.

The face that was obviously human seemed to have seen him as well, but Kui Yong didn't know it at all.

"May I ask ...... you?"

"You don't even remember me...... It's really sad for me. Anyway, after I pinched my fingers, I guess I'll meet you again soon, then! If there is any fate, I will tell you who I am! ”

“…… But since you took the initiative to talk to me, there must be something to talk to me, right? If you don't have a name, it's hard for me to talk to you, and I don't know how to call you by honor. ”

"Honorific title—just use 'you'."

"Isn't that rude to someone meeting for the first time?"

"Hee-hee-hee, for you, my 'look' might be the first time we've met—but I'm not."

"What does it look like?"

"Let's not talk about this - what is the wind that brought you to the Kingdom of Aynk?"

The fat man's tone suddenly became treacherous and low, and his toothy smile quickly became serious like turning a book.

Kui Yong, who was not shocked, was shocked by this undulating and violent expression.

"I'm a tourist here."

"Tourist? Where did it come from? ”

Honestly, it shouldn't matter, right? Anyway, his hometown has long ceased to exist, and the other party doesn't know it.

"Star City."

"Taixing City? Isn't that the hometown of a certain rhinoceros warrior god in the divine realm? ”

"What......!?"

That's right.

Thai Star City is not a human territory, and it is for this reason that Grossar was unfamiliar with Thai Star City before.

It is impossible for human beings to know the territory that belongs to the divine realm, let alone take half a step. In the territory of different dimensions and spaces, it can neither be found nor survive in Taixing City for half a second.

The question arises - how does this strange man know? The tone was familiar, as if it had been visited.

"Seem surprised? While you're stunned, I'll give you some advice - don't try to fool me, I know you very well about you, including the reason why you're here, it's just a confirmation. ”

“…… I'm sorry for trying to deceive you, but can you calm me down? ”

"Please."

Kui Yong pondered for a moment, the airtight helmet couldn't see the slightest expression, but the ruthless helmet appearance was facing the man, probably looking at all the possibilities behind the fat man.

Could it be that this guy is a god disguised as a human?

But he didn't feel any divine aura at all, maybe this guy is good at covering up his own aura, but he doesn't cover it up too much? Even himself, who is good at detecting the aura around him, has not been able to explore the slightest clue.

However, what is certain is that the other side has no intention of fighting him. At least for now, it's still friendly.

Let's euphemistically state some of the facts.

"At the behest of my lord, I have come here to inquire about some news."

"Thou shalt ...... Yes? Didn't expect to be free in just 12 years? ”

“…… Twelve years? ”

The key number instantly provoked Kui Yong's alert nerves, and even the night pavilion who was hiding in the armor and eavesdropping sensed-

From the time the gluttony was just sealed to the time it was now unsealed, exactly twelve years have passed.

Kui Yong's sitting posture moved slightly, but the inconspicuous change was a sign of the change from a safe posture to a preparation mode.

Overshadowed by the cheerful atmosphere around him, and Kui Yong's perfectly hidden murderous aura, it should not have been noticed by the fat man - but the fat man suddenly showed an inexplicable smile, as if he was amused by Kui Yong's vigilance.

"What do you mean by 'twelve years'?"

"Do you want me to say that? Someone in a cage, of course. ”

“…… I hope you can go into more detail. ”

"Not detailed enough, huh?"

The fat man lifted Erlang's legs and dragged his cheeks, glancing at Kui Yong with interest.

The rough voice suddenly became slender and soft.

"The evil god who devours all things—a certain glutton."

The soft-spoken tone was hard to hear, and the noisy laughter around him had completely drowned out the fat man's volume, and even if he listened attentively, he couldn't hear a word clearly—Kui Yong and Yege could hear it very clearly.

This person must not stay!

Night Pavilion! Do you want to do it now? 》

Wait a minute! There are so many innocent people here, and even if you have the confidence to assassinate this stranger without affecting the people, if it is nothing more than a trouble, it is definitely not a wise choice! 》

But! But this guy in front of him obviously knows the identity of an adult! If it is not resolved as soon as possible......"

"Anyway - Observe it! Don't act impulsively, and if you are present, you will be reckless. Besides, it is nothing but a bad thing to keep it alive and extract useful information from it. 》

"Yes, yes! Ask me something, it's not a good idea to kill me now. 》

"...... this voice?" 》

Kui Yong raised his head in shock and glared at the fat man who had not yet spoken, but was smiling.

In the heart-electric conversation between himself and the Night Pavilion, the voice that suddenly came in was the voice of the fat man in front of him!

Obviously, there was only an encrypted call between himself and the Night Pavilion, but he seemed to be unsuspecting to be intervened by a man.

This kind of thing cannot be done by non-divine forces.

The night pavilion was silent, Kui Yong was stunned, and the fat man smiled.

"You guy!?"

"It's very rude to whisper to my partner behind my back."

That calm face saw through everything that Kui Yong and the Night Pavilion had, and the comfortable eyes had no intention of revealing domineering.

Who is this fat man?

"Don't be so nervous, take back your murderous aura - this magic branch is located in the security area of the Kingdom Guard, and if it causes trouble, you won't be able to eat and walk around."

“…… There is a point in that. ”

Kui Yong had no choice but to slow down his tense body and retract the fighting spirit that was about to explode.

"I think you know that too, right? I'm not human, but I'm not what you think. You definitely know me, but I can't reveal my real name and face right now, because I have a grudge against some guys in this kingdom, and my every move could be caught at any time, so I have to be careful. ”

"Then I can understand—how do you know the purpose of my coming to this kingdom?"

"Well...... It may not be accurate to say that you know, but you should have 'guessed'! ”

"Guess?"

"Are you looking for something about 'Wu. Einke's news? ”

“…… How do you know? ”

"Really, really? Judging by your surprised reaction, I don't know why your master is so desperate to know about this human from nowhere, right? ”

"It's really not clear, but since it's the master's order, there is definitely a meaning in it."

"Well, that's true, but maybe it's different from what you guessed. All in all—I still have some business to attend to, and now that the gossip is over, it's time for me to say goodbye to both of you. ”

"Wait!"

"Not waiting. If you want to know something, just wait for a closer moment! The time for the reunion is coming soon, and seeing that you are unclear about the background of this human, I say that any more is a waste of time, so it is better for you to verify it yourself. ”

"Verify ......?"

Suddenly, I felt that the flow around me was slowing down rapidly, and the air and time were frozen.

It was the man in front of him who did it!

As a martial arts god, Kui Yong can't explain the current situation, and he can't feel the existence of the Night Pavilion.

I vaguely heard the last goodbye - it was the voice of a fat man, but it was obviously different, and it became calm and delicate.

It is a familiar sound.

"I forgot to tell you - this human being who is walking with you is a very important existence, if there is an accident or danger in the future, please be sure to rescue him first, and the benefits it will definitely bring in the future beyond your imagination."

Humans who walk with me...... Is it a Terran general named Grossar?

Everything is flowing again.

The same sound of laughter flowed into Kui Yong's ears again like the sound of running water, and all kinds of people chatted and danced heartily - but there was no such unbelievable bloated figure just now.

The fat man left his seat.

At the same time, Grossar walked out of the innings side by side with a short-wavy man in a crisp suit.

Walk to the thoughtful Kui Yong.

"Mr. Kui Yong, this is the executive officer of the Magic Branch. Mr. Jett'. ”

“…… Hello. ”

Kui Yong politely stood up and shook hands with Marco, who was two heads shorter than him.

Marco smiled equally politely and clenched the massive right hand.

"Are you the Mr. Kui Yong that the general said he would say? This body is even bigger than expected! I guess you have a lot of further education in martial arts, right? ”

The gentle tone is organized and echoes the amiable appearance.
