Chapter 53: Miss Sophie's Sincerity
After a difficult trek and a battle of wits along the way, the city of Paris is already in sight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But the three of them did not enter the city, but walked to a hill outside the city, and walked to a manor on the back side of the mountain, escorted by the white-bearded dwarf old man.
The manor was large, with several large and small houses, with smooth lawns and carefully cut shrubs outside, and neatly armored soldiers patrolling back and forth inside, which looked not only luxurious but also heavily guarded.
"Alright, the destination has arrived. The white-bearded dwarf pointed to the manor in front of him and said: "Actually, I still admire you very much, it's the first time I've seen such excellent cooking skills like yours, of course, it would be better if this poisoning ability could be improved again, and poisoning with food is really a genius idea......
He patted Zhang Ang's shoulder again: "If you weren't for the fact that you happened to be the target of the mission, I would be willing to accept you as an apprentice." ”
Zhang Ang didn't want to say a word to him, the experience along the way, he already knew almost the horror of this white-bearded dwarf, he was not only a martial saint, but also a rare martial saint who specialized in using poison. In the face of such an existence, Zhang Ang could only be ruthless in his heart: When labor and management learn to 'break the eight formations', I will come and talk to you!
The three of them walked into the manor unimpeded all the way, and walked into the most luxurious villa. After the white-bearded old man had spoken to a strong man in black armor in the hall, the strong man in black armor left them behind and galloped out of the manor.
Seeing this strong man in black armor, Zhang Ang also basically confirmed his guess, it was indeed Miss Sophie who hired a master to arrest him.
After all, this strong man in black armor was none other than Miss Sophie's elusive and taciturn coachman.
To be honest, Zhang Ang really didn't want to see Miss Sophie again, and it would be best if he could never see her for the rest of his life. It's not hate, it's hate, Miss Sophie has always been a very strong person, likes to control everything in her hands, and has a strong desire to control. And the will is strong, and only in rare cases will a trace of weakness be revealed. Zhang Ang has always disliked such a strong woman.
As far as Zhang Ang gathered, Miss Sophie's Marceau family has always been a diehard loyalist of Emperor Napoleon, the kind that is willing to give everything for him. And for the cause of Emperor Napoleon, Miss Sophie did a lot of things, risked a lot of great dangers, endured a lot of hardships, and paid a lot.
Perhaps Miss Sophie had a little affection for herself in the past, but since the escape and betrayal in Paris, her emotions should have changed somewhat, giving up her children's private feelings and putting more feelings on the country and His Majesty the Emperor.
For such a person, if it doesn't involve himself, Zhang Ang is of course very admirable, but the other party wants to use his own sacrifice to make the country rich and strong, then it is not a good thing for himself.
And she inadvertently revealed some secrets, and it seems that it has also become something that Miss Sophie wants to get quickly, which can make the hope of France in her mind more rich and powerful, otherwise, she would not have paid such a big price, please use this martial saint-level powerhouse to catch herself.
Although Zhang Ang doesn't know the market, a powerhouse of this level, no matter what, will not be cheap.
Sitting on a bench in the hall, Zhang Ang waited for Miss Sophie to arrive while thinking.
And the white-bearded dwarf old man sat opposite, and the old god was there with his eyes closed.
But this wait is half a day and a night.
The next morning, the door to the villa was pushed open.
The sun shone in roughly, waking up Zhang Angzhao, who was sleeping on the bench.
Squinting his eyes and struggling to meet the sunshine, Zhang Ang saw Miss Sophie again.
The door slowly closed, the curtain of light closed behind her, and a peerless beauty in a white dress walked over.
"Long time no see, Leon. She was radiant, her lips were lightly opened, and her words were like wind chimes.
"It didn't take long, only a few months. Zhang Ang's face twitched, and he felt a little dry in his throat.
"Alas. Miss Sophie sighed leisurely: "I don't want to do this, and I don't want to embarrass you, I just want us to be stronger in France, you should understand me." ”
"Well, I understand. Zhang Ang echoed somewhat casually.
"How do you ...... It seems that there is no energy. Miss Sophie was puzzled.
"Oh, that's right, I used the green snake to lock his internal force, and now he's just an ordinary person. The white-bearded dwarf next to him interjected: "Do you need me to lift it?"
"Oh, that's right. Miss Sophie frowned and thought for a while: "If you just lock the internal force, then you don't have to untie it, that's the best, thank you." ”
"That's ...... reward," the whitebearded gnome looked a little anxious.
"Now that we've completed the mission, we won't break our promises, oh, to you. Miss Sophie took a thin booklet from her bosom and handed it over.
The white-bearded dwarf old man flipped and looked at it for a while, and then laughed: "If it is really a peerless swordsmanship, the transaction is completed, and we are clear!"
With that, he strode out of the hall, and in a few flashes he vanished.
"Uh, you gave him that sword technique?" Zhang Ang was a little speechless: "This is not good. ”
"It's just a peerless-level swordsmanship, I think, there should be more on your side. Miss Sophie asked rhetorically without a trace of chagrin or reluctance on her face.
"This peerless-level martial art, where is it so easy to obtain?" Of course, Zhang Ang would not easily tell his secret.
Miss Sophie was not angry, sat opposite Zhang Ang, and said with a pleasant face: "Then you should also know the channel, judging from the magical elixir and those martial arts with different styles, you must have a big secret on your body, or there is a big organization behind you, can you tell me?"
"I can't say. Zhang Ang decided to start fooling.
"What do you mean, why can't you say it?" said Miss Sophie, undeterred.
"Meaning, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I can't say it, it's too much involved......" After a little silence, Zhang Ang's expression became serious: "It's not as simple as you think." ”
"Well, I'm not very demanding. Miss Sophie sighed again: "I just want to make us France stronger, which requires more martial arts, more elixirs, and more ......"
She paused for a moment, then continued: "You know, we in France don't have a Martial Saint-level powerhouse that we can fully trust now, and a powerhouse of this level needs to be cultivated and sharpened for a long time. is the most certain d'Artagnan, and it will probably take several years. And at such a speed, Your Majesty can't wait, and we in France can't wait, do you understand?"
"But I heard that His Majesty the Emperor, isn't there a martial saint by his side?" Zhang Ang expressed puzzlement.
"That's the person of the Witch Sect, and we are not of the same mind, and the strength is not strong, the limitations are very large, known as the 'Three Goddesses of the Night', and the strength of the three of them is the strength of the martial saint level, which is not enough. Miss Sophie clearly scoffed at them.
"Then, what about Lord Roland, isn't he a Protector Martial Saint? Even the Viking King was not scared away by his sword?" Zhang Ang looked at Arnold, who was standing on the sidelines, and asked again.
"He is now the Patriarch of the Holy See, and we suspect that he has been oscillating between the state and the Holy See. And he has always been indifferent, never obeying the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, although he is strong, what is the use of not wanting to contribute to the country?" Miss Sophie denied again.
"But, uh-huh...... Isn't the one you sent to arrest me a martial saint?" asked Zhang Ang again.
"Those are assassins in the dark, who specialize in those shady things, who have no role to play on the battlefield, and who never participate in war. Miss Sophie explained patiently.
"You mean, we are going to war in France again?" Zhang Ang was a little surprised.
"Yes, but not now, but not far off, without going through war, how can we in France rise to become the number one power in Europe?"
"But I can't really help much. Zhang Ang objected again.
"I understand what you mean, you need to have martial arts cheats to redeem them, right?" Miss Sophie went straight to the essence: "You can tell those people behind you that we have enough martial arts cheats to exchange with them, and ask them to cooperate with us, and we will show enough sincerity in France." ”
"Sincerity?" Zhang Ang was a little puzzled.
"Yes, sincerity!" Miss Sophie clapped her hands twice.
Two masked men walked in carrying a large suitcase, and after putting it down, they bowed down and retreated.
After a little fiddling, Miss Sophie opened the box.
I saw that it was densely packed with books of martial arts cheats, and after a cursory glance, there were no less than hundreds, and on top of these cheats, there was a small box.
"What's in this box?" Zhang Ang couldn't help but ask.
The box slowly opened, and it was also a martial arts cheats inside!
