Lankate looked at Adios in surprise, but didn't say anything. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) In his mind, Curt is reliable. Since Curt brought Adios here, he naturally had his intentions. So under the leadership of Lankate, Curt and Adios walked into the private room inside. Kate reached out and pushed open the secret door on the wall, revealing the secret room inside, and a table of steaming exquisite dishes.
"You have a place to hide everywhere. ”
Curt smiled and nodded, and walked into the secret room. This secret room is more comfortable than a private room, and it is clear that Lankate is a person who likes to enjoy. Lankate took a chair and placed it on the table in the secret room. Then the three of them sat down together, and Lankate picked up the teapot, poured tea for Curt and Adios, and looked at Adios and said:
"Your friend is special, Curt, why don't you introduce me to him?"
"Why pretend to be stupid, there aren't many things in Qianfa City that can hide from you, and Adios shouldn't have deliberately concealed his deeds, right?"
Curt picked up his teacup and took a shallow sip. He was so pleased with the aroma of the finest tea that he casually explained the identity of Adios. For the well-informed Lankate, the conversation could only be regarded as corroborating information. He nodded slightly, and then spoke:
"I see. With all due respect, you don't think you should have brought Mr. Adios to me. He's not an ally, or do you think he can play a role in the next thing?"
"It is my duty that Lord Eoham have asked me to receive Adios. ”
Curt shrugged and replied lightly. He looked at Lan Kate, who was not very happy, and added with a grin:
"And I don't think I can hide anything from Lord Eorham, so I'd better be honest. ”
"You shouldn't have dragged me into the water, we're going to do big things next. ”
Lan Kate sank her face, and finally expressed her displeasure. He glanced at Adios, who was already wielding a knife and fork and cooking steaks, and said coldly to Curt:
"I thought you were a reliable person, but it seems that I misunderstood. After the wins over Jason and Patrice Evra, you seem to have slackened a bit......"
"Excuse me. ”
Before Rankite could make more rebukes, Adios raised his hand holding the fork. He swallowed the steak in his mouth, then narrowed his eyes, stared at Blue Kate and said:
"I've seen you, though I can't remember where. But I don't remember the name Lankate, it's weird. ”
"Today is our first meeting, the Half-Dark Elves. ”
Lankate's expression became even more gloomy, and he stared at Adios with wariness in his eyes. Curt stood by with great interest and listened to Adios say loudly:
"In the name of the Hidden Blade, I must have met you, Mr. Lankate. Maybe you used a different identity at the time, but I've definitely met you, and maybe even spoke. ”
"Enough!"
Lankate pressed his hand to the table, indicating that he had no interest in the topic at all. He turned back to Curt and said impatiently:
"What are you going to do next?** Gardner and Sabina have already started to act, and there are many other powerful mages who want a piece of the pie. Jason and Evra have enough empty space to make everyone blush, and those who want to compete with you can line up outside the city gates from here, do you have a plan for dealing with it?"
"Honestly, I'm going to get out of the competition. ”
Curt cut the steak with a leisurely dining knife, with a calm face. He paused, then said to Lan Kate, who immediately showed a thoughtful expression:
"You're a smart person, you should be able to understand. I don't want to climb up in the envy of the crowd, but Master Eoham will give me the reward I deserve. On the contrary, I want to help the strong candidates and sell them some favors. After all, my foundation is not as good as theirs, and I am afraid that I will not have the upper hand in the conflict above board. And if I start a fight at this time, it will probably only leave the impression of a good person to the adults above. ”
"Can you really endure ......?"
Lan Kate silently drank half a cup of tea before speaking softly. He played with the ring on his ring finger and said slowly:
"So, you're going to form an alliance? After all, you still feel that your foundation is too shallow, so you want to unite with the others? Am I on your list? Looking at you, it seems like you're not going to help me. ”
"It's enough for us to keep the relationship we have now. ”
Curt threw away the dishes and sat up straight. He put his hands together, put them on the table, stared at Lankate and said:
"You have your own way of doing things, and I'm afraid it's hard for me to adapt to your rhythm. And you have other things to care about, such as your relationship with Miss Catherine. So I think it's ideal that we know each other, but we're neither friends nor enemies. When the time is right, we'll work together. In normal times, we don't have the intersection of interests, and we don't have to worry about the other party plotting against us. That's enough, isn't it?"
“...... You don't think highly of me, Curt. Let's get straight to the point, you don't think I'll have the upper hand in the rest of the fight, so you're not willing to pick me as an ally. ”
Kate narrowed her eyes and leaned back in her chair. His words were sharp, and Curt replied with a sigh:
"Almost, Kate Ran. With your ability and your deeds, if you want to say that you are a person without ambition, I will not believe it if you are killed. How many years have you been dormant in the Thousand Laws City, and those stubborn old mages are holding you back from making a difference. In order to wait for such an opportunity now, you must have endured enough humiliation. It is true that you are both a powerful mage and a successful businessman. But you have never had the power, and there are not many people who can embarrass you. Now that you see an opportunity to take power, you definitely won't miss it. ”
"You're worried I'm going to get hot and do too much?"
Blue Kate shrugged noncommittally and did not deny Curt's words. When he opened his mouth to say something more, Curt took the first step and said:
"Yes, but that's just one of the reasons. Other than that, in fact, you are like me, and you have no foundation. It can even be said that you are not as good as me. At the very least, I am the secretary of the Inquisitor, a registered inquisitor. And you're just a duly registered mage, and you don't have any position. The next thing you can do is buy, or like me, take refuge in a high-powered ** division. But you're a proud man, and it's hard for me to imagine you groveling. ”
"Hehe, you know me well. ”
Just as the atmosphere became a little solemn, Lan Kate suddenly laughed. He relaxed his body, picked up the teacup, and said with a smile:
"I see, Curt, let's continue our relationship. Neither an enemy nor an ally...... Pretty good. We can do our best in different areas...... Come to think of it, a tough guy like you, as long as you're not my enemy, is already pretty good. ”
Lan Kate said this intermittently, obviously constantly sorting out his thoughts. Finally, he nodded vigorously, then pushed the table up, and said happily:
"So be it, Curt. Today's meeting didn't meet my expectations, but it turned out well. I'm looking forward to the next meeting with you, when we must have another reason to join forces again. ”
"Thank you. ”
Curt smiled and stood up, glad that Kate was able to accept his position. Adios, who was on the side, quickly stuffed the rest of the food into his mouth, and then took a few sips of tea before standing up and following Curt out.
Outside the restaurant, Curt sighed. He walked slowly forward and whispered to Adios, who was walking on the side:
"Have you really seen Kate Ranchite before?"
"By my eyes, I have never seen it. ”
Adios gritted his teeth and replied categorically. Curt glanced at Adios, then sneered and said to himself:
"Well, I can probably guess something. Hehe, a strong ** master who is rich in the city of Qianfa and does not depend on any forces...... Mr. Lankate, your story is legendary. I don't have to sell anything, you can still reach the sky in one step? I absolutely don't believe in this kind of fairy tale. ”
Curt didn't mean to discuss, so Adios consciously didn't answer. The meal just now made Adios very satisfied, but it was a little hasty. In terms of quality alone, the food prepared by Lankite is definitely of the highest quality. He is a man who knows how to enjoy himself, and he never skimps on gold coins on his appetite.
Later, Adios and Curt parted, and he decided to go shopping. Glad to be able to get rid of Adios, Curt walked a few streets to the Rainbow Tower, where Randall lived.
Some of the well-decorated young men, Randall's admirers, took refuge. Many eyes focus on Curt's body from the darkness, which contains complex feelings. - According to the grapevine, Curt single-handedly brought down Jason and Evra. Whether the rumors are true or not, at least for a short time, no one will dare to be disrespectful to Curt. After all, compared to Napier and Ramsay, who died tragically, the remaining suitors are not strong. Of course, Lankate is an exception.
Curt stood quietly at the bottom of the tower, looking up at the sixth floor. He knew that Randall was in the tower, but he deliberately didn't knock on the door. After about ten minutes, the door on the ground floor opened. Randall walked out, frowning and asking Curt:
"You're looking for me, Mr. Curt, oh, with all due respect, it's time to call you Lord Curt. ”
"You're really mad at me. ”
Curt smiled and shook his head helplessly. He approached Randall slowly, stared into the other's eyes, and said:
"I've figured something out, Catherine. I won't call you Madam anymore, and I want you to call me Curt directly. Right now...... May you treat me to a cup of tea, my dear faceless brother?"
In the last short sentence, Curt only clips out the lip sync.
