Volume 2 The Beginning Chapter 7 It's really him!
On the large table, stacks of account books were piled up. A man dressed in black was holding a pen to revise in the account book.
"Dangdang", two knocks on the door, interrupting the moving tip of the man in black.
"Please come in. ”
The man in black has been dealing with the accounts for the past few days, and his mood is very boring, and when he is disturbed, he can't help but feel a little unhappy, although he says 'please', but his tone is obviously a little impatient.
"Haha...... Brother Black, what are you doing here?"
Gore heard some visibly irritated responses from inside, and pushed the door open.
The black-clothed priest was mainly responsible for logistics, sorting out accounts, and "passing on skills" to the villagers of Shuishui Village, although he was also among the "Seven Great Sacrifices", but his status among them was the lowest.
Therefore, when the black-clothed man saw that it was a red-clothed priest who had entered, he immediately stood up.
"Where do you dare to let the Lord in Red call me a brother, you also know that the amount of goods purchased this time is four times that of the past, and now the goods have been received, and the specific accounts on my side have not yet been completed, although I have been prepared a few days ago, but I have just received the goods, and there are still a lot of things to do in a hurry, I can't help but feel a little anxious in my heart, I hope that the Lord in Red will take care of it!" said the black-clothed priest with a very humble attitude.
"Brother in black, you are too polite, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do with all this heavy work!
"Don't make fun of me, Lord Red, who doesn't know that my black-clothed sacrifice is the most subtle of the 'Seven Great Sacrifices'!
After a few pleasantries, the black-clothed priest knew that the seven priests had always performed their own duties, and rarely moved, so he took the initiative to ask, "Lord Red, does the queen have any new orders?"
"Yes, I have reported to the Queen everything you have reported to-day. The queen has an order: since the goods have been received, she orders the blue-clothed priests to step up production without delay. As for the strangers who appear in the village", Speaking of this, Gorre paused and said: "The queen ordered you to draw a portrait first, and for the time being, it will be dealt with as usual." ”
"By the Queen's orders!"
Although Gore did not relay the queen's order very formally, as soon as the black-clothed priest heard the queen's order, he immediately knelt on one knee as if the queen was right in front of him.
"Brother Black doesn't have to be like this, I'm just relaying the Queen's order, and I don't have to do that. Gore stepped forward, helped the black-clothed priest over, and said with a smile.
"Since it is the Queen's order, I should salute. ”
The black-clothed priest stood up and said, "Stepping up the production matter, my side can complete it tonight, and tomorrow I can hand over the goods and details of the situation to the blue-clothed priest." I don't know when the portrait of the Queen will be requested, but if I am in a hurry, I will draw it now. ”
Everyone knows that this black-clothed priest has the ability to never forget, and his painting skills are also first-class.
Gore couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, he really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get it!
"The queen didn't say anything about the portrait. But since I happen to be here, you might as well draw it here, and save me from bothering you again. Gore suppressed the snickering joy in his heart.
"Okay! The man in red sat down for a while. With that, the black-clothed priest took out a pen and paper and began to paint.
Where is Gore willing to sit down!
He poured himself a cup of tea, stood on the edge of the black-clothed sacrifice, and tried his best to make himself look as if nothing had happened, but in fact, his heart was already turbulent!
He even prayed silently in his heart: not him, must not be him.
However, the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes!
When Gore stood beside the black-clothed priest, looking at the face that he was most worried about in his heart, and appeared in front of him one by one, he was shocked!
It's really him!
What made him scared and couldn't sleep at night finally happened!
When the black-clothed priest finished painting, he rolled up the painting and was about to hand it to Gore, but he found Gore standing beside him in a daze, looking blankly and vacantly at the place where he had just painted.
"Lord Red, the portrait is complete, you put it away!"
Gore came back to his senses, took the portrait in the hand of the black-clothed priest, and smiled reluctantly: "Brother in black is really very capable, I am stupid to see you painting!
After saying that, he was going to leave, but Gore thought to himself, although he had a portrait, he didn't know where he lived in Shishui Village, so it was better to let this black cloth go to check. Then he said: "Brother in black, the queen said that for the time being, it will be handled as usual, and you have to find out where he lives as soon as possible, so that you can use it later!"
"Thank you, Lord Red, for reminding me! I've found out where he lives now. The black-clothed priest said with a smile.
"Where?" Suddenly hearing that the black-clothed priest had been found, Gore was a little out of shape and said urgently.
The black-clothed priest obviously didn't expect Gore to suddenly react like this, and there was a hint of suspicion on his face.
Seeing the suspicion on the black-clothed priest's face, Gore realized his gaffe. Hurriedly explained: "Brother in black, I'm really sorry, I can't hide it, this time the volume of goods is huge, and the queen attaches great importance to the appearance of strangers this time! Order me to find out the details of this person as soon as possible! I didn't expect you to do everything in such a short time! I'm really excited!"
Hearing Gore say this, the black-clothed priest understood.
"Needless to say, the strangers who came this time did look different from the ones who came before, and I was also very worried! The man now lives in the house where the 'gods' were raised. ”
"Oh!"
Gore suddenly realized that although he was not very familiar with the water village, he was no stranger to the 'gods'.
"Thank you, Brother Black, I'll go tell the Queen!" he said, and immediately flashed out the door.
Almost as soon as Gore left, the door of the black-clothed priest was suddenly pushed open, and the yellow-clothed priest came in.
The black-clothed priest was shocked in his heart: this yellow-clothed priest is strict and ruthless in law enforcement, how did he find him here today!
The black-clothed priest was about to step forward to greet him, but was blocked by the secret report in the hands of the yellow-clothed priest.
"Lord in black, the queen has an order, a stranger who appeared in Shishui Village recently, but the person drawn in this secret report?"
Although the yellow-clothed priest looked old, his voice was very sharp, not at all like an old woman.
The black-clothed priest was shocked when he saw the portrait of the person in the secret report, because the person in the secret report was the person he had just painted, that is, the person he saw in the water village today, but the portrait in the secret report was obviously not painted by him, and he felt strange when he thought of this, and couldn't help muttering: "Strange ......"
"What's so strange?" the yellow-clothed priest asked.
"That's the man!"
The black-clothed priest stood up, "Lord in yellow, you don't know, Lord in red just came, and it is also here for the portrait of this stranger, I don't want the queen to have a portrait of this person!"
"When did he be?" asked the yellow-clothed priest.
"Just left!" The black-clothed priest was a little stunned when he saw the yellow-clothed priest's voice.
"What is he doing here?"
Judging from the performance of the yellow-clothed sacrifice, the black-clothed priest felt that something big had happened, and remembering the abnormal performance of the red-clothed sacrifice just now, he didn't dare to slack off, so he told the red-clothed priest just now.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the yellow-clothed priest say, "Chase quickly!" and grabbed his clothes and rushed out together.
