Chapter 87: Shadow Fall (11)
Despite the huddle of a large number of people, Pelos was able to reach the center of the hustle and bustle.
This is presumably because he "likes" trouble.
The perimeter of the Royal Museum was crowded with people, and Pelos was pulled by Scana and jumped to the side of the House Guard. Because it was a burglary from the Royal Museum, the area had basically been cordoned off, and all the people who were watching the excitement were also gathered together, and they were all checked at the first time.
In charge of the periphery is Diana, the elite captain of the current Flying Eagle, who is an absolute confidant of the current Duchy General Kraft, and her being here means that the Supreme Commander of the Duchy, Kraft, is also here.
All the onlookers saw General Kraft enter the Royal Museum, and they could imagine the seriousness of the situation.
"Here you are, Lord Phoenix." Diana's right eye was blue, and in her eyes, Pylos had straightened his clothes, and he was not wearing his symbolic cowboy hat, so Diana didn't recognize it at the first time. Still saw the more conspicuous Skarna, she immediately walked over upright, with her hands behind her back, absolutely solemn.
Diana lost her left eye and replaced it with a different vermilion prosthetic eye.
This looked exactly the same as Scana, so Pelos was also a little stunned, but it was a private matter for Diana, and he couldn't say it, and when he saw him coming, he nodded very preciously.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Captain Diana." After Pelos finished his salute, he looked at the passers-by, and Diana also looked at them, and soon slowly made eye contact with Pelos.
"These people happened to be there, and they were the first parties...... Or...... Suspect ......"
She spoke slowly, much like when Kaft was a captain, and even though it wasn't so deep, Kaft would speak with a sense of oppression.
And Diana is exactly like that, this matter is really important, but it feels very subtle to Pelos, as if he is talking to Kraft, so Pelos smiles.
"Okay, I see, when your trial is time, can I sit by and sit in on it? I needed more descriptions of the state of the artifacts at the time, they were the last people to see them, and I still needed to record them, at least, as they were written in my notes. ”
Pylos patted his crossbody bag.
Diana didn't smile, but nodded formally.
"Go, Lord Phoenix, General Kraft is waiting for you."
"Skarna, go."
With that, Pelos patted Skarna's arm, walked ahead of him, and trotted into the Royal Museum.
"Hey!"
Tang Zilong ran over from the side, gasping through the crowd surrounded by soldiers, some soldiers wanted to stop him, but Diana, who was signaled by his eyes, raised his hand and let him go.
"You guys!"
Tang Zilong couldn't shout, Scana was too inauthentic, he only grabbed Pelos and flew over, he had breath in his stomach, but he couldn't say anything, he could only put his hands on his knees and pant, like a little old man with his back on his back.
"Hello, Your Excellency Tang." Diana greeted Tang Zilong from afar on the steps, she stood on the edge of the steps, watching Tang Zilong walk up the steps step by step.
Tang Zilong squinted his eyes breathlessly, he didn't know the woman in front of him, but he was recognized by others, and he was puzzled.
However, he stayed in the laboratory all year round, and he didn't know anyone he did. But it's no surprise that he's a teenage genius who made a name for himself with Pelos at the age of ten.
But he's so embarrassed now, and that's weird.
After glancing at Diana, Tang Zilong instantly straightened his waist, shook his white coat, put his left hand in his trouser pocket, held his glasses with his right hand, coughed, and ran up the steps, suddenly like a handsome rabbit.
"Ahem." Tang Zilong straightened his voice and breath.
"Nice to meet you. Captain. Tang Zilong didn't know Diana's name, but he quickly recognized Diana's rank.
"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Tang." Diana stretched out her hand to Tang Zilong.
Tang Zilong shook his hand and shook it from the side.
This made Diana's mouth go up and down.
"Your sister is inside. She asked me to tell you. Diana spoke much softer, faster, more witty, "She knows you're coming, so let you wait here until she comes out."
"Ahem, ahem."
Tang Zilong kept coughing.
"What? Did I hear me right? My invincible sister has come to the backwoods of Fran City?! ”
He pretended to cough twice, stared at Diana, and bent down as if he couldn't hear Diana, he was only a little taller than Diana, and this movement was strange, and his face was almost close to Diana's mouth.
"Ahem, ahem, what did you say? I didn't hear too clearly...... Why? ”
"Because your sister specifically told me that I only make pistachios that are toys for children, and don't interfere with the affairs of adults in the end."
Diana slowed down her speech again, as if she deliberately imitated the tone and speed of Tang Zilong's sister's speech, adding trills and tails to the words "child" and "pistachio".
Tang Zilong from Rastar!
Tang Zilong from the Downton family!
Tang Zilong from Flandor Royal Academy!
Tang Zilong, the inventor of cutting-edge technology!
By no means a child~
It's not pistachio either~
Diana put all her hands behind her back again, and the soldier's straight body and Tang Zilong's somewhat curved back formed a bracket, Tang Zilong straightened his waist when he heard it, and they were just parallel.
"Damn it!"
"What?"
"No, nothing, I'm not scolding my sister, I mean, damn the weather, it's so good! Blue skies! ”
Tang Zilong put all his hands into his trouser pockets, his shoes kept rubbing left and right on the ground, and he looked at the sky very seriously and muttered one after another.
As if there was no dialogue with Diana.
"Ah...... What the damn weather......"
"If it were me, I would have chosen to commit the crime at night...... What ......"
"And then there has to be a dark moon and a high night......
"Dead man or something......
"I'm sure I'll be able to do a strange case for the ages...... Damn ......"
He lowered his head and looked at Diana again, and the corners of Diana's mouth turned from upward and downward to calm in an instant.
"You're laughing, aren't you? Captain?! ”
"No...... Your Excellency Don. ”
"I saw you smiling!"
"I'm a soldier, Your Excellency Tang."
Diana coughed.
She turned to the side, as if taking a deep breath.
"You're definitely laughing, you're laughing at me, aren't you? Captain! ”
"I swear, I didn't, Your Excellency Tang."
Diana turned back again, her eyes were facing Tang Zilong, and Tang Zilong squeezed her eyebrows at Diana.
Like a rabbit in a rage, he took his hand out of his pocket again and pointed at Diana, whose index finger was like a useless stick, and shook it off.
"You...... You...... You...... You can't do that......"
Tang Zilong was obediently angry.
"I'm going to tell Kraft...... You have tarnished the prestige of the officer...... You laugh at the civilians you protect......"
"You are Sir Don, Lord Don......"
"You...... You...... You ......"
"No matter how funny...... We're not going to laugh...... Your Excellency Tang ......"
"You...... You...... You...... I ......"
"We are professionals...... Your Excellency Tang ......"
