Chapter 091: The tacit understanding between the Seven Great Empires and the Three Great Empires
"You're a salted fish?" Monroe asked, looking at Rorschach.
"It's me." Rorschach nodded, "Your Excellency is Monroe, the leader of the Wings of Freedom?" β
"Hmm." Monroe didn't go around in circles, nodded and said, "That old boy Depp mentioned you to me and said that you are a good boy. β
"Your Excellency Monroe knows Depp's seniors?" Rorschach was surprised.
"Ah, yes, old friends for many years." Monroe shook his head and smiled, and then looked at Perez in Rorschach's hand, "Let's talk about it, how are you going to end up now, or are you going to kill me?" β
"Don't dare." Rorschach shook his head.
He was able to kill the city lord Wood of Biluo, and there was already a certain amount of coincidence in it, otherwise even if the other party was not his opponent, he might not be able to forcibly leave the other party behind if he wanted to escape.
He wasn't crazy enough to think that he could take out Wood and deal with a mid-level gold plus mid-level wizard apprentice like Monroe, and he himself was now a dual-class, so he knew the effect of this stacking well.
"However, since Your Excellency Monroe has heard Depp's predecessors mention me, you should know that if I want to leave, Your Excellency will not be able to keep me." At this time, Rorschach continued to be neither humble nor arrogant.
"Do you mean this little guy next to you?" Monroe's gaze shifted from Rorschach's to little David beside him.
Although little David didn't fully understand the situation, he could roughly understand that the old man on the other side should not be his own, and immediately showed a vicious expression at him, but instead of a fierce feeling on his face, this expression looked a little funny and cute.
Monroe couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Of course, he didn't despise little David because of this, and muttered, "It's true that I can't keep you with this little guy, but this matter has to have a result, Perez is the eight-winged envoy of the Wings of Freedom after all, and he shouldn't be treated like this no matter what he does wrong......"
"Less fart!"
An old man came from the gate of the manor with a curse, followed by Abel, who had never appeared.
Needless to say, the person who came was naturally the first gentleman Depp.
"Am I not right?" Monroe looked like Depp, an old friend, so naturally he wouldn't be angry, but he was a little helpless.
"Of course not!" Depp pushed back directly, "Do you know what this guy did?" This bastard directly flipped the table in the gray domain, spreading the news that Salted Fish was the replacer, even if Salted Fish didn't destroy him, there would be other seven people coming over soon, believe it or not? β
"Huh?" Monroe couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and immediately looked at the half-dead Perez and asked, "You really did that?" β
"No, I didn't, not me!" Perez repeatedly denied it.
"You'd better think clearly before answering me, if you're really suspicious, others won't ask you as politely as I do, once they find out you're lying, it's not so easy for you to die."
Monroe looked at Perez indifferently and said, "I'll give you one last chance to answer me, whether you did it or not." β
As soon as Perez heard this, he already stammered: "I, I didn't expect such a big impact, I just ......"
"Alright, you don't have to say any more." Monroe waved his hand impatiently, and Perez fainted directly, and then he said to Rorschach, "He will leave it to you to deal with, and I will handle the rest." β
"You said something human." Depp grinned, then pulled Rorschach and left, "Let's go, I'll drink with the old manβ"
For Depp's invitation, Rorschach naturally will not refuse.
Although little David is here, he is invincible, but he really doesn't want to completely tear his face with Wings of Freedom unless necessary.
The appearance of Depp can be regarded as saving him a lot of trouble, and all of this is naturally indispensable to Abel's promotion.
"I said, why did you suddenly disappear?" Rorschach smiled at Abel in his thoughts.
"My lord forgives my sins, and I am also afraid of accidents, so I made my own decision once." Abel's voice was a little frightened.
"You did the right thing, I don't blame you." Rorschach approvingly.
Abel will do this, probably because he knows Depp's relationship with Monroe, and it turns out that his approach is fine.
With Depp as the middleman, it can indeed save a lot of trouble.
β¦β¦
Rorschach didn't have much to say about Perez's disposal, so he sent him on his way and gave the fuel depot an extra reserve by the way.
After dealing with Perez, he was sent to drink by Depra.
Also coming to join in the fun were Jinkla, and Pete, the old butler who was inseparable from him and was not thrown off until the last replacement.
As soon as he saw Rorschach, the old butler Pete said with a resentful face: "Young Master Rorschach, next time you take my young master to fight against gold, please take me with you, in case something really happens to the young master, let me die." β
Obviously, Pete, the old butler, was really frightened.
When he was in the Grey Realm before, he guessed that Jincla must have gone to find Rorschach if he left him, if only then he wouldn't be scared.
Because he knew that Rorschach was not simple either.
It wasn't until he learned from the channel of the Demon Spirit Society that the mysterious displacer Salted Fish had actually killed a gold-level person, that he felt scared in hindsight!
That's gold!
If something happens to the young master Jinkla, he will definitely not be able to live, and this is also the price he must bear if he chooses to surrender to others.
Fortunately, the end result was not bad, Rorschach won, and Jinkra didn't have anything to do.
Otherwise, he would really be called dead in vain.
"Hahahaha, don't worry, I'll definitely take you next time." Seeing the old butler Pete like this, Rorschach smiled and patted him on the shoulder and comforted.
"By the way, Brother Salted Fish, you just met Old Man Monroe?" Kinkla's focus is obviously different from that of Pete, the old butler.
"Well, thanks to the help of Depp's seniors, there was no real conflict." Rorschach nodded.
"It's nothing to do with me, Perez dares to do such a thing, even if you don't come to the door, he will definitely die in the end." Depp shook his head and said, "That guy from Monroe just didn't know what was going on, so he stopped you, otherwise you wouldn't have to do it, he would have cleaned up the portal himself." β
"Is it that serious?" Rorschach was really surprised this time.
Although he had heard Su Xueqi mention that it was taboo to poke out the identities of other displacements in the Gray Domain, once it was discovered, it would basically cause public anger.
But Perez is also the eight-winged envoy of the Wings of Freedom, and his position is only under the leader of Monroe, even if Perez did it in the seven-color salon last time, the Wings of Liberty have tried to protect him.
This is enough to prove that Wings of Freedom is not an organization that helps people who don't help their relatives, so will they really kill their relatives this time?
Rorschach was naturally a little skeptical about this.
Depp saw Rorschach's thoughts and explained: "This time is completely different from last time, last time he only violated the rules set by the Seven Congresses, and it didn't affect the overall situation, and this time it ...... But it directly touches the real bottom line, and it is very likely to break the tacit understanding. β
"Tacit understanding? Who's in agreement with whom? Rorschach asked.
"The tacit understanding between the Seven Great and the Three Great Empires." Depp groaned.
And sure enough, it was!
Hearing Depp's words, Rorschach was actually not surprised at all.
This is also a question he has been thinking about for a long time, with the control of the three empires over the Gray Domain, will they really know nothing about the displacement?
Perhaps Rorschach still had some illusions when he first came to the Gray Field, thinking that maybe the displacers were well hidden, so they didn't find out.
But as his strength grew stronger and the level he came into contact with became higher and higher, he realized that his previous thoughts might be a little naΓ―ve.
Unless all the high-level leaders of the three empires are mentally retarded, otherwise, they must know about the existence of the group of displacers!
Of course, knowing the existence of this group does not mean knowing who is the displacer, which are two different concepts.
What Rorschach had been puzzled about before was that if the three empires knew about the existence of the replacement, why not directly stab the matter of the displacer on the table like they did with the remnants of the evil god, and let everyone hunt down the replacer together?
If that were to happen, it would not say that it would completely exterminate all the displacers, but at least the number of displacers would be reduced to a minimum.
But the three empires did not do this, not only did they not make this matter public, but they did not even take the initiative to hunt down the replacement.
It's as if you were completely unaware of the existence of the displacer.
This is undoubtedly somewhat strange.
Rorschach couldn't figure out the clues before, but he felt that there were always some contradictions, which made him unable to figure out the key inside, until Depp's sudden tacit understanding made Rorschach instantly relieved!
Yes.
The three empires did not choose a showdown when they knew about the group of displacers, so they must have some scruples.
If the Seven have the capital that the three empires can fear, and can make the three empires believe that the displacers will not subvert them, then it is indeed possible that the three empires will choose to coexist peacefully for the time being.
This is probably the tacit understanding that Depp said.
Perez's behavior seems to be aimed at Rorschach, but it is also tantamount to the displacement himself pushing himself to the forefront.
This is tantamount to breaking the tacit understanding of the displacer himself, not the three empires.
By doing so, Perez will hurt the entire group of displacers, not Rorschach alone.
That's why Depp said that even if Rorschach doesn't do it, the other seven will inevitably find out about it!
To put it mildly, even if Monroe himself is behind the scenes, he will inevitably pay a terrible price.
What's more, it's just a Perez?
"But doesn't Perez know the consequences of doing so?" Rorschach thought it was a little incredible.
"He knows a." Depp said disdainfully, "The top people involved in this matter, plus an old bone like me, he has guessed at best, but he probably wouldn't have thought it was so serious." β
"Okay." Rorschach understood.
If you look at it this way, Perez is indeed killing himself.
The top group of people Depp is talking about should be the gold-level powerhouses among the replacements.
Jinkra couldn't help but ask curiously at this time: "So my father also knows about this?" β
"Of course, he was one of the planners himself." Depp rightfully said.
"Then why didn't he tell me?" Jinkra was surprised.
"Is there a possibility that your father didn't tell you because you weren't light or heavy, and your father was afraid that you would go around talking about it?" Rorschach said intimately.
"I thank you." Jinkra looked at Rorschach with a resentful expression, and then looked at Depp and asked, "By the way, old man Depp, since you are already on the side of the [Gray Tower], have you seen my father recently?" β
"I can't see it." Depp took a sip of his wine and said.
"Huh?" Jinkra looked confused.
"Although everyone calls him a wizard apprentice, your father is the real 'wizard apprentice', where do I usually see him, I think." Depp said a little depressed.
"Huh?" Jinkla's face was confused.
It was Rorschach, who understood Depp's meaning this time, and asked: "Depp's predecessor said that Brother Quiet's father was taken in by a real wizard?" β
"Hmm." Depp nodded and said, "It should be because of this reason that he hasn't come back recently, you can ask him yourself when he comes back." β
"Is my dad so awesome now?" Jinkla's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Hahahahaha, I knew I was the protagonist!" β
"Young master, the protagonists are generally from civilian backgrounds, and super second generations like you are usually villains." Pete, the old butler, reminded in a friendly manner.
"You talk a lot!" Jinkra glared at him, "No matter how much you talk, do you believe that I will go to the gold level next time?" β
"I believe it, can't I believe it?" Pete, the old butler, wanted to cry without tears.
With such a young master, he is really tired.
However, when he learned that his boss was actually getting along with the [Gray Tower], and was also accepted by a real wizard, this also gave him a sense of honor, and he could only say that he was not with the wrong person.
"The replacement is over, hasn't your father returned?" When Rorschach heard this, he finally sensed the problem.
The reason for this is probably the same as the reason why he is not in the Blue Star most of the time mentioned in Monroe's message before.
"Hey, don't you know, Brother Salted Fish?" When Kinkla heard Rorschach's question, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Know what?" Rorschach was a little confused.
"After the gold level, the bodies of the two worlds will become one, and you can decide whether to replace them or not, no matter where you are." Jinkra explained to Rorschach.
Rorschach: "In other words, even if you stay on the Blue Star all the time and don't go to the Gray Domain?" β
Jinkra shrugged and said, "Yes, it's no problem at all, of course they don't usually do this, and I don't know the specific reason, Daddy didn't tell me." β
"Because it's such a waste of life."
Depp added to Jinkra, "When the bodies of the two worlds merge into one, every time it is replaced, even if it is a moment relative to the other world, the lifespan that can be consumed is irreversible, plus the water blue star is not suitable for cultivation in the first place, and it is a waste of life to stay back for a long time." β
"As far as I know, there are a few old bastards who haven't been back in years, and it's unknown if they're alive." When Depp said this, he was also a little embarrassed, "Of course, there are also those who are more self-aware, knowing that no matter how hard they fight, there is no hope, so they have stayed here and never left." β
"Damn, then my dad won't come back, right?" Jinkra said suddenly.
"If your dad really didn't want you, would he wait until now?" Depp scoffed.
"That's right." Jinkra laughed silly.
When Depp said this, he remembered that his father had already become a gold level, and he had only been enlightened for a long time.
If I really didn't want him, I wouldn't care about him a long time ago.
After communicating with Depp and Kinkla, some of Rorschach's previous confusion was basically swept away.
Whether it is the delicate relationship between the three empires and the displacements, or why it is rare to see the truly top displacements, there is no longer any doubt.
Just as Rorschach was about to ask something, Abel's voice suddenly sounded in his head: "My lord, that woman has arrived, and is now on her way over." β
"Can't you just call her by her name?" Rorschach was a little speechless.
The woman in Abel's mouth naturally refers to Su Xueqi.
As soon as the replacement was over, Rorschach immediately contacted Su Xueqi to confirm whether she was ill.
After seeing that Su Xueqi was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Su Xueqi said that she had something important to report to him, and booked the earliest flight and flew over directly.
Rorschach was also a little curious about what was going on, so he had been waiting for Su Xueqi to arrive, and after getting Abel's reminder, he immediately got up and said to Depp and Jinkla: "I still have some things to deal with, you drink first, and I'll come to you after I'm done." β
"Go, go, go." Depp waved his hand casually.
Jinla is naturally more casual, he is a casual person.
β¦β¦
When Rorschach saw Su Xueqi again, she seemed a little preoccupied.
"Boss." When Su Xueqi saw Rorschach, she immediately stood up and said.
"Sit down." Rorschach personally brewed two cups of coffee, and handed one of them to Su Xueqi, motioning for her to speak slowly.
"Yes." Su Xueqi responded.
Perhaps seeing Rorschach made her feel a lot calmer, and she sorted out her thoughts before she spoke again: "Senior Rex asked me to tell you that he actually knew that you were from a foreign land. β
When Rorschach heard this, his heart was shocked!
He did guess that Su Xueqi rushed over this time as soon as possible, and there must be something important to report to him, and it was very likely to be related to Rex, but he never expected it to be such an unfolding!
Rex had already discovered his identity as a displacer, how could this be...... If that's the case, why not expose him?
"Tell me the cause and effect completely." After thinking for a moment, Rorschach decided to let Su Xueqi explain things clearly first, and then he would judge.
Su Xueqi nodded and said: "Ever since I got the information that your other identity as the boss was revealed to be an exotic evil spirit, I already had some premonitions, but I didn't dare to act rashly, so I could only respond to all changes first, but I didn't expect Senior Rex to call me over the next day......"
