Chapter 14: The Dinner Party 3
The room was spacious.
There was a dark red carpet on the floor, and there was no sound in the walk.
A square table, a bookshelf, and several high-backed chairs are all made of a reddish and black wood, and the surface is lacquered and shiny, and you can faintly smell a faint fragrance.
Prince Fayelino sat on one side of the table, facing the door, reading the stack of papers he held in his hand, looking serious and focused.
"Sit. ”
Seeing Gehr walk in, Fayelino greeted him casually. The waiter who had come in with Gehr saluted the prince and quietly left the room and closed the door, leaving only the prince and Gehr in the room.
Gehr sat across from the prince without restraint and took a closer look at the legendary prince.
His face is handsome, revealing a sense of ease, and his eyes seem to reveal a sense of peace and gentleness, but in fact they imply that kind of self-confidence that is extremely strong, that is, absolute confidence in his own strength.
On the wall behind him hangs a rectangular oil painting, depicting a fragment of the mythical war of legend, in which a knight in armor pierces a cruel demon with a sword surrounded by blood, limbs, and corpses, and the demon's blood splatters the knight's body red, and the desolation and sadness in the knight's eyes peeking through the cracks in the armor comes to life under the author's brush.
No one spoke for a long time, only the sound of the paper being turned, and the air in the room seemed to be frozen, making people breathless, but now the two people in the room didn't seem to notice anything, one leisurely looked at the documents and the other looked at the room layout casually, without any appearance of being affected by this atmosphere.
"Look at this. ”
Finally, Fajellino finished reading the paper in his hand, put the paper on the table, and with a gentle push, the document slid in front of Gegar.
Picking up the document, Gehr glanced at it, and it was his life and the judgment of the intelligence provider, which was recorded from birth to yesterday, and Gehr's original life trajectory was clearly described in a few pieces of paper, and some things even Gehr himself couldn't remember clearly.
Geerli watched it with relish, and Fayelino didn't urge, just waited quietly.
After reading it, Gell put the information back on the table and pushed it back in front of Fajellino, waiting quietly.
"It was my negligence that I didn't discover your abilities beforehand. Now I solemnly invite you, would you be interested in joining us?" Fajellino's first sentence surprised Gehr a little.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because you have the qualifications. Fajellino looked at Gehr with interest, he was very interested in this young man who had the same taste as himself.
In fact, even if Gehr didn't take the initiative to come today, Prince Fayelino would have found Gehr.
The Brotherhood of Steel is far more efficient than Gehr thought. Just this afternoon, the bodies of Blide and Morad were found in the woods, and although they had been somewhat damaged, the exact cause of their death could still be found based on the wounds on the bodies. Among them, the arrow wound on Blide's body is very consistent with the arrow samples provided by the stall owner who sent Gehr's arrows, and a few arrows shot by Gehr but have not had time to recover them were also found in the woods, and the two are compared, so that the investigators have come to a contradictory conclusion - it is very likely that this young man killed the famous butcher Brid, but according to the information that Gehr usually appears, it is completely unrealistic to want to kill Blide.
Faglino was intrigued by the news, and the side of the hall convinced him that Gehr was indeed in danger of killing Bled.
"We have always valued and protected talented people, and you have talents that deserve our attention. ”
"What's the benefit of me joining?" asked Gell in a low voice.
"You've probably heard about the Brotherhood of Steel, but that's just the surface, we're not just a commercial organization, and we're not just a business organization, and we're in a power you can't imagine. Money rights woman, no matter what you need, as long as you make a commensurate contribution, you can get it. ”
Fayelino smiled a little smugly: "Haven't you been very fond of collecting antique weapons lately? There is a special archaeological department in the organization, and there are also rich antique source channels, as long as you want to, we can't find anything." ”
Gehr's eyes froze, this condition is indeed very important to him now, if there is a channel for the Brotherhood of Steel, then it will be much easier to find antiques with specific special energy.
"What about the conflict between me and your members? I would like to know what your organization thinks of me, and because of what happened before, I have to doubt your purpose. ”
Gell pondered for a moment, then bluntly pointed out the contradiction between him and the Brotherhood of Steel, if this could not be resolved, then the promise given by Fajellino was just an illusion of nothingness, which could not be seen but touched.
"The conflict between you and us has been investigated, it was Morad's personal job, and Blide approached him to trick you into getting out. While we don't prohibit a member from taking on a job in private, as long as he can do it himself, the organization also doesn't protect him from doing his private work. Morad died because of his own stupidity, even if you kill him, it's nothing, at most his superiors are a little dissatisfied, but as long as you join us, everything must be no problem. ”
Fayelino had been testing Gehr in secret since he came in. After a series of tests, he was very satisfied with Gehr's heart, so he also had an action to invite him in person.
Gehr listened to Fajelino's words, and immediately understood what he was implicating, after joining them as his own, there would be nothing, but if he didn't join, then the Iron Brotherhood would not retaliate, but it would also not prevent others from retaliating.
"What about Blid? What is his relationship with you, and why did he find me?"
"Bullid has nothing to do with our organization, and even to some extent the organization he belongs to is hostile to us. However, his specific information has a high level of confidentiality, and can only be consulted if he has joined the organization and obtained a certain level. Fajellino looked at Geer with a rather playful look: "As for the reason for finding you, we are also investigating. ”
"If you can provide you with why Blide came to me, I can join you. Gehr weighed it and came to the conclusion that joining the Brotherhood of Steel would be more beneficial to him.
"It's easy to do, I'm sure you'll have an accurate conclusion within a week, and now we'll be able to provide you with all the relevant information we have right away." Fajellino's face was slightly pleased. There is no doubt that he values Geer very much, and if he can kill Blide at this age, it means that he can reach even greater heights in the future with his potential. Such a potential master is naturally worth wooing.
......
Sitting by the window, Gehr looked at the stack of materials in his hand by the light of the oil lamp.
After the meeting with Prince Fajellino, Gehr returned to the hall to find Jocora, who was also looking for him. The two talked for a while and then said goodbye and went back to their own quarters.
As Gehr returned to his dormitory, the man sent by Fayelino followed him and brought him the stack of papers and a badge that Gehr now had in his possession.
The information is recorded on Bullid's identity and a series of recent actions, as well as some of the findings that have already been made.
Blid Rafs, nicknamed "The Butcher", is the fifth leader of the Philippian Restoration Army and the most well-known leader, a major leader in several terrorist attacks in Konatas and has long been in the top three of the wanted prize list.
He was the one who led the Hakoy bombing a week ago. This infiltration with his men into San Rotaro was also to put pressure on the Konatas authorities in order to continue the new wave of terror, but somehow he temporarily broke away from the team and participated in the attack on Gehr, which not only led to his death, but also directly led to the failure of the subsequent terrorist operation.
Now that the apparent strength of the Philippian Restoration Army has completely withdrawn from Konatas, it is possible to retaliate against Gehr, who directly led to their defeat.
As for the rest, it has not yet been possible to investigate any of the forces that have made contact with Blide. But in the past few days, when investigators were investigating Gehr's situation, they found that there was another group of people around him who were watching Gehr. The forces were evacuated as soon as they were discovered, and with a few clues, investigators deduced that they might be members of the hermitage.
There is also a record of the situation of the monastery.
The Order of Seclusion is an organization somewhat similar to the Brotherhood of Steel, with backgrounds involving several traditional hereditary nobility. Unlike the semi-public nature of the Brotherhood of Steel, the Order's operations are a mystery that is rarely known to outsiders.
Looking at the information in his hand, Gehr couldn't help frowning.
Now that the conflict with the Brotherhood of Steel has been resolved, but there is an additional hermit of a similar nature, Gehr does not think that the hermit will have good intentions to spy on him, and the Philippian Restoration Army needs to be careful. As a terrorist organization, it can bring far more destructive power than the tied Brotherhood of Steel. The leader of the fifth was killed, the mission failed directly, and the loss of strength was serious, and Gehr would not have the luxury of expecting them to swallow this breath.
It's because I'm not strong enough.
Gehr sighed.
Putting the documents aside, Gehr picked up the badge.
The badge is about the size of a walnut and about the thickness of a coin, and the overall color is bronze with a metallic texture. The front is a clenched fist with fist armor, blatant with the power of the Brotherhood of Steel.
This is a sign of Gehr's status in the Brotherhood of Steel, meaning the organizational treatment he can enjoy.
The bronze rank is considered the identity of a small leader. Just as he was actually suppressed by the other party in his meeting with Fayelino today, this badge completely represents the difference in status and strength between himself and Fajellino.
After looking at it for a moment, Gehr held the badge tightly.
He knew that this was the beginning.
