088, internal and external princes accuse each other of thieves
The Marquis of Punis-Lington was the first time he had set foot in the ancient and novel country of Shishou, and his first impression of the people at the airport was that they were hospitable, although he had entered as a private and was only a tourist, and the staff of the Foreign Affairs Office of Uyu City took the initiative to greet him at the airport, welcomed him into a special VIP channel, and dispersed the reporters of several gossip magazines who had rushed to hear the news. 【Reading.com】
Then his second impression of the locals became a little unfavorable, and he felt that these people were a little too sophisticated and snobbish. He is a noble person, accustomed to the politeness of others, but does not like excessive and unnecessary enthusiasm. The reception staff who never knew him took the initiative to run before and after running and there was always someone to accompany him and say two broken words of Jili from time to time, which made him feel very uncomfortable, he was fluent in Chinese, and his mother tongue was Spiya.
The foreign affairs personnel who came to greet him kept asking the Marquis of Pnys-Lington about the purpose of his visit to Uyu, asking him if he had any investment intentions, and took the trouble to introduce the local preferential policies and the advantages compared with other parts of the country. The Marquis de Linton was impatient, for he was a wealthy man but not a merchant. The family's wealth is handed over to a special trust fund to take care of itself, just to take the money. But the Marquis de Linton was well educated in etiquette, and always paid attention to the manners corresponding to his status, and although he was impatient and even disgusted, he still maintained a polite demeanor.
Uyu city officials arranged for the Marquis de Linton to be the most exclusive presidential suite of the Champs-Élysées, and equipped him with a special car and a crash plane and accompanying security guards. And he kept asking him what he needed? All this was provided free of charge by the city of Uyu, which made the Marquis of Linton very puzzled and even a little disdainful, why did they use the money of the public treasury to receive such a tourist from the border?
Despite his disdain, the Marquis de Linton accepted the reception with poise, for he did need it in this strange place. And later, he also thought that his noble status should be treated with special courtesy in this geography, but he resolutely refused the security arranged for him by the official Zhixu, because he thought that he could completely protect himself.
He is a member of the royal family of the Lington family in the Kingdom of Spia, the nephew of the current King Lucas II of Spia, and the eighth in the order of succession of the crown prince. Not only that, he is also a well-known philanthropist and social activist in the Roba League, Chinese New Year's Eve, single and unmarried. The Marquis de Linton was born into a noble family, handsome, wealthy, and personable, and was the focus of attention in celebrity circles wherever he went. It has been rated as one of the most attractive "Diamond Kings Big Five" in the world by internationally renowned entertainment magazines.
The Roba League is a federation of many countries, these countries have a parliamentary system, a presidential system, a constitutional monarchy, the Kingdom of Spia is also a very important member of it, and the Holy Mount of Campydes where the Holy See is located is also in the territory of the Roba League, a small place but independent of the nations, is a country that nominally belongs to God but actually belongs to the Holy See. The Holy See and the nobility of various countries have been inextricably linked since ancient times, and have always supported each other in terms of secular interests and spiritual status. The Marquis of Linton actually has a special secret mission when he comes to the country of Zhixu this time. He was the Pope's envoy to Kunlun Da6 to deliver the edict
First, because the status of the Marquis of Linton enabled him to receive a lot of help and convenience from the officials of various countries, and second, he took the initiative to ask for help, and in addition to his superficial status, Punis-Lington was also regarded as a "cultivator" in the West's 6th year , He began to learn martial arts at the age of six, and at the age of twelve, he initially mastered the use of fighting qi, and at the age of eighteen, he went to the magic academy in the Gambides Mountains to learn all kinds of magic lamps.
The Marquis of Linton, although not openly clerical, was the liaison between the royal family of Spia and the Holy See, and he could enter the Holy See at any time if necessary to assume the duties of a Templar. This status of him, known as the "guardian" by the Holy See, was recognized and personally blessed by the Pope. On the other hand, he was Avtena's many suitors in the world, and the most fanatical and famous of them all, known to almost the entire upper class of the Loba League
Avtena was born into a family of venerators, a long-established aristocratic family in the Duchy of Tulip, and most people don't know that she and her brother Adero Wiener are both current Templars of the Holy See, and that her father was also a Templar who died in battle with the dark creatures.
Avtena's secular status is the investment director of Roba Alliance Financial Group, and she has appeared on many occasions, she is noble, rich, beautiful, and has many suitors, but she has never expressed her heart, because she is a Templar and love belongs only to God. The Marquis of Linton, knowing Avtena's status in the Holy See, still did not hide his fanatical love for her, and he even personally approached the Pope to express his heart for Aphtena and asked for his blessing, but the Pope could only refuse his request.
This time, Avtena and Bishop Rashis of the Diocese of Uyu complained to each other, and the Holy See sent Cardinal Krrigan to deal with it with full authority, and actually wanted to execute Qingchen to suppress the matter, but Avtena was the only one who came back alive. Avtena didn't lie, and told the story of what happened on the island, which shocked the Holy See!
After Avthena's audience with the Pope, she was left behind on Mount Campydes, where she was constantly interrogated again and again by different people, and she recounted the events of her life so many times that every detail could be recited at any time. There were some things she didn't want to say that she didn't hide, including her duel with Mr. Mei but was refused, and she also turned up the past twenty-three years ago, which was undoubtedly another shame for herself and the entire Holy See, but in order to prove her innocence and loyalty, she had to explain all the things at that time.
This endless interrogation, in the name of an investigation, effectively amounts to putting Avtena under house arrest. Whether it was because of the influence of the Venus family or Avthena's exploits, the Holy See would not dispose of her easily, but the loss and humiliation of the Holy See in the First World War on the island were unprecedented. The Pope believed that what Avtena said was true, and this was the conclusion that he sent different people to interrogate him repeatedly from different angles. This shocked him even more -- there were only three people on the other side, and one of them, the Kunlun Alliance Leader Mei Yeshi, had shown such a powerful force! This meant that the invasion strategy of the Holy See and the Western secular forces in the entire Kunlun Great 6 needed to be readjusted.
The young students of the Cambydes Theological Academy, the Academy of Magic, and the Knight Training Camp heard a little rumor, and they all dressed up and asked for their lives to go to the Shishu Kingdom to take revenge on the shame, and this matter was suppressed by the majestic elders. Pope Homoro III convened a secret discussion among the middle and high clergy of the Holy See, discussed it for a week, and finally made a decision. The specific content of the decision was kept secret, but then it was decided to send an envoy with the Pope's edict and a letter to Zhixuguo and hand it over to Mei Yeshi, the leader of the Kunlun League. They did not know that Mr. May had now arrived at the city of Maro at the foot of Mount Cambydes.
In addition to sending letters and testing the reaction of Kunlun practitioners to the papal edict, the Marquis of Lington also had a mission to investigate the "inside story" of the island incident. Although the Pope and the others believed Avtena's words, there was no circumstantial evidence that Kerrigan and the others were dead, and someone must be sent to investigate the truth of the incident and other things that Avtena did not know or said. The Marquis of Linton came with these two missions, of course he wanted to prove Avtena's innocence, and in addition to the Kunlun Alliance Lord, he also really wanted to meet the legendary Wind Gentleman. But his most important task was to deliver the Pope's letter
The letter was written to the Kunlun League Master Mei Yeshi, but it was not easy to send, and it could not be written "Kunlun League Master Receiving" and then thrown into the mailbox. The Kunlun Alliance Lord's usual place of contact in the center is the Zhiwei Building. This Bai Shaoliu knew but the Marquis of Lington didn't know, because no one had told him that what Mr. Mei said on the island was a notice, telling the people of the Holy See what to do, there was no intention of discussing, and he didn't even leave a contact information.
Marquis Linton's idea that Kunlun cultivators may be similar to those of the Western Holy See, and if he finds one of the cultivators, he can find Mei Ye Shi, but the only "cultivator" he can find is Bai Shaoliu, an impostor, and Avtena doesn't know about Bai Shaoliu's situation, so she naturally regards Xiao Bai and Qingchen as cultivators like Mei Ye Shi. According to the clues she confessed, the Marquis of Lington first found Bai Shaoliu's residence, who called Bai Shaoliu a celebrity in Wuyou! The Marquis of Linton just said that he wanted to visit a friend, and said Bai Shaoliu's name, and someone immediately helped him inquire about Xiaobai's address
The day after arriving in Uyo City, the Marquis of Lington came to Xiaobai's residence. He asked the driver to park the car outside the community, under the pretext that he refused to be accompanied by everyone for a private visit, and walked alone to Bai Shaoliu's house. The residential building here is similar to that of the other, each unit has an anti-theft door, there is a door number button on the door, you can talk to a certain household by pressing a certain house number, the walkie-talkie is one-way visual, and the people inside can see who rings the doorbell at home, and if it is a guest, open the electronic door lock of the corridor and put him up.
Of course, Punis Lington has never lived in this kind of place, and has not even been to this kind of house, and it feels a little funny to walk into this community, how can these aspirants put themselves in cages, and there are no security guards in this residential area?
When he walked to the stairway, the iron door was closed, and the Marquis of Linton opened the door without thinking about reaching out, and only used a simple but ingenious air magic to press down the lock. However, before he could immerse himself, a stick stretched out from behind him and poked at the iron door, and the stairway door slammed shut again
Linton turned to the side in a flash, and the existing person was looking at him with a tiger's eye, this man had a disheveled head, ragged clothes, and at first glance looked very old, but on closer inspection, he was very young and only in his early twenties. This man is supposed to be a scavenger or a homeless man. Whoever looks so at first glance thinks that the city of Spia also has slums and ragged trash tramps. But the Marquis of Linton glanced at it and thought that this man was unusual.
The man's clothes were in tatters, but he was not dirty, and there was no oil or dirt. His hands are clean
The nails were trimmed very short, and what was even more interesting was that although his head was unkempt, he could see that there was no dirt on his head, not even dandruff. What surprised Lington even more was that the man suddenly had a stick stuck out of his back and he didn't react until he was very close, which was not something that ordinary people could do.
The Marquis of Linton was looking at the man in surprise, but the strange man spoke first, and he pointed to the Marquis of Linton and said, "I noticed as soon as you came over, you don't have the key to this corridor but want to open the door, I can't agree." If someone loses something in the hallway, they will definitely suspect that I stole it!
Lington asked, somewhat inexplicably, "Who did you lose your things?"
The man withdrew his stick and crutches on the ground. One pointed at himself and said: "I'm just a rag picker, and I have an agreement with the security guard of the community, all the rags in this community are collected by me alone, and the garbage station is also my territory, what are you doing here?"
It was a very choking question, and it sounded like the Marquis of Linton was coming to fight him over the rubbish. As a nobleman like the Marquis of Linton, of course, he looked down on this kind of person at all, although he looked down on him, he always paid attention to maintaining his demeanor, and said with a smile on his face: "Do you think I seem to have come to steal business with you? I am from the Marquis of Punis-Linton, the Kingdom of Spia, and I have come here to visit a friend, and he lives in this building.
Picking up the tattered pout: "What's wrong with being dressed neatly and neatly? My wife is dressed like an intellectual, picking bottles in the trash cans in high-end shopping malls...... You're a prince? I'm still a prince! Everyone here calls me the King of Rags.
The Marquis of Linton still smiled and said, "Mr. Rag King, I have indeed come to visit a friend, please get out of the way, this building is not your home!"
The Tattered King: "That's not your home either! You open the door like this on foot! You press the walkie-talkie, and if you want to go to someone's house, press the number of someone's house, and someone inside will let you in, and I will keep an eye on you here."
Not far away, two people walked out of the corners of the building on both sides, and came to the front with great speed. One of them caught the tattered king from the left and the right, and one of them asked, "Mr. Linton, are you in any trouble? Did this person blackmail you?" These two people were sent by the Uyou City official to protect the safety of the Marquis of Linton, and although he refused the bodyguards arranged by the reception staff, the Uyou City Foreign Affairs Office still secretly arranged for the police to be plainclothes.
When the Tattered King saw that someone was clamping him left and right, he was very dissatisfied and said loudly: "Picking up rags and not breaking the law, who doesn't know that I am the Tattered King? I am helping the community to prevent thieves, otherwise the security guards will suspect that I stole something if I lose something, and you don't inquire, when has this community lost something? It's all because I'm here!"
The Marquis of Linton hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, a little misunderstanding, it has nothing to do with the two of you, I don't know how to enter the door, this gentleman taught me to use a walkie-talkie." It's okay now, I know how to ring the doorbell!" "The Marquis of Linton didn't want to really get into any arguments, his dignified royal nobles were suspected of being thieves in the country of Zhixu, and this kind of thing would definitely be called a joke in the celebrity society if it was in the gossip magazines.
Zhuang Ru had just received a call from Xiaobai at home, in which Xiaobai told her that she and Qingchen had gotten off the train and were about to take a ride home. Zhuang Ru put down the phone and said, "Xiaobai is finally back, and he will be home soon, with the girl I told you about called Allure...... He also practices martial arts, the girl is estimated to have learned martial arts with him, there is no one else when something happens at home, Xiaobai likes to help people.
Zhuang Ru has never been very clear about the relationship between Xiaobai and Huang Jing, so she also explained two sentences to Huang Jing, she knew that the person Xiaobai brought back was the killer Qingchen, but she didn't tell this
-- This is what Xiaobai specially advised. Qingchen's identity Zhuang Ru knows it, don't tell anyone, otherwise it will not be good for anyone, Huang Jing was a little puzzled, but still said with a smile: "Sister Zhuang, Xiaobai is really kind-hearted, and he is not afraid of making trouble for himself."
At this moment, the doorbell rang, Zhuang Ru went to the door and picked up the walkie-talkie microphone and saw several people on the LCD screen, the tattered king in the community seemed to be among them, and several other people didn't know each other, she asked strangely: "Who? What's the matter?"
The Marquis of Linton, downstairs, heard a woman's voice coming from the speaker, and he replied politely, "I am Pedroco Fred Nil Jovia from the Kingdom of Spya...... Marquess of Punis-Lington XVII.
The Marquis of Lington unhurriedly reported the full name of his noble title, a long list, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhuang Ru's words: "What are you doing? How many people are there?"
