Morning of Swordsman Tower: Chapter 157
Because the essence of Kiesta is the ideal paradise he built for his late wife, even if one day it can no longer be profitable for itself as a tourist city, Herman will never sell it to other forces for operation, at most Just pass it on to your daughter.
And Rhodes Island, as a force with both influence and conscience, almost completely meets Herman's selection criteria. Of course, it is up to him to further test whether the information is completely true.
"You're welcome, Mr. Dalkos, in fact, the purpose of our coming here is not only to discuss business, but also to learn from you and your team about the advanced operation experience of Kiesta."
"Oh? Could it be that Rhodes Island intends to invest in a new tourist city?"
"It's not just investment, it's more accurate to say it's post-war reconstruction, because the main industry there was almost destroyed in the war, so we initially planned to build a characteristic tourist city, although it's completely opposite to Kiesta's style , but at least the operating experience should be interlinked.”
As soon as Kelsey said this, Herman immediately understood what was going on. This was clearly referring to the mobile city of Chernobog. Unexpectedly, Rhodes Island could not only cut off a piece of flesh from Ursus under the nose. , and even roasted and eaten in front of it, it simply refreshed Herman's understanding of the balance of power among the countries of Terra.
On the premise of guaranteeing Kista’s sovereignty, if Kista’s operational experience can be exchanged for friendships other than commercial projects in Rhodes Island, it will definitely be a sure thing.
Especially because Kiesta and Chernobog are incompatible. Kiesta is a passionate southern coastal (pseudo) city, while Checheng is a frigid northern inland city. It is impossible for church disciples to starve. The competition situation of the dead master.
"Of course there is no problem, why don't we start with..."
Just when Herman was about to get to the point, there were suddenly panicked shouts from outside.
"It's not good, Master Herman! Missy, she..."
A silver-haired Liboli man ran in quickly from the office door, and the pair of feathers on his head looked very familiar. If he guessed correctly, his species should belong to the white-faced scops owl like the white cuckoo.
His name is Cronin, Hellman's assistant to the mayor, and also the messenger of the natural disaster of Ziesta.
"What happened, Cronin, what happened to her, Ceylon?"
"Miss... you should take a look at this, it was just received in front of the city hall, and I brought it here intact."
Herman took a closer look, and saw that it was a piece of letter paper pierced by rose stems. The material of the paper was very high-grade, and the patterns on the corners were full of artistic styles favored by the upper class Victorians.
Herman is very familiar with this kind of paper, because it is a souvenir brought back by his own daughter Ceylon when she returned from studying in Victoria. A stack of them is now quietly lying in his own drawer, and the letter paper in front of him is What is written is also the handwriting of Ceylon.
"Dear Mr. Mayor Siesta:
I'm irresistibly drawn to what's about to happen here, and I've always had a soft spot for wild masterpieces, but...it's got a philistine, sleazy set.
Let me cross out some vulgarity for it, and add a thick ink to it. Art must have considerable cruelty in order to achieve excellence.
Black obsidian surges, can the silent singer make noise? The beauty is coming, and the legless dancers are crazy about it!
Looking forward to your entry. "
The endless letter in Herman's hand was as heavy as a catty, every bird feather on his head was trembling, even if he couldn't understand the riddle of the letter with his qualifications, he could still understand it. Two important pieces of information can easily be drawn from this.
First, if this person is not a second child, then he is a complete lunatic.
Second, his precious daughter Ceylon is in his hands, but the ultimate goal of the other party should not be Ceylon, but to force him, the mayor of Siesta, to come forward in person, so Ceylon may be safe or not, it depends. What kind of person is he in the first message.
However, just as Herman was immersed in his anxious thoughts, he didn't notice that the sharp-eyed big lynx was staring at the letter in his hand with a weird expression like an old man looking at his mobile phone.
Then Kelsey poked the waist of Shi Huaiya, who accompanied her as a negotiating assistant, with her elbow calmly, and whispered to Cerebellar Axe with a weak "sound transmission" that almost did not move her lips.
"Where's the doctor?"
"...I don't make it."
The two witnesses of "Jin Moaning Disease" only needed to look at each other, and they immediately realized some kind of great wisdom.
If it wasn't for the doctor's guy getting sick, I would have eaten this blogger on the spot!
Kelsey even began to blame herself. We obviously have the most professional medical team in Terra, how can we let the critically ill patients out for fun?
But in any case, she can only pretend that she doesn't know anything about it. If people ask, just say that our doctor is a penguin.
Chapter 443 Our show begins
Back in time, when Kelsey and Shi Huaiya had just set off for the City Hall from the Hermann Hotel where the Rhode Island inspection team stayed, a man wearing a pair of clumsy black-rimmed glasses also came to Xi’an from here. Strangely enough, none of the waiters and other guests remembered anything about him.
It's just the sentence "an ordinary man". If you want to ask him what he looks like, how tall he is, whether his **** is up or not, he won't have any impression.
'Planet Daily Reporter Glasses: The glasses that an alien man usually uses to disguise himself as a native of the planet have a strong camouflage effect. Even photography equipment cannot truly record your identity information. Only the magic detection effect can crack.
This item can provide a chance to spend 1000 standard units to use the skin of "Son of Krypton: Kal-El" once a day for 3 minutes. It will not accumulate when it expires. The matching mechanism is the same as the normal mode. Please use this function with caution. minute hero.
No one is willing to be mediocre, and no one can refuse mediocrity. '
This is a reward for Superman's skin that reaches 80% matching. Usually, Qiao Ge will wear it when he is wandering on Longmen Street. The ground rushed over to give him a cat, or to try his sword skills with him.
A sharp sword, a sharp eye.
Others have also experienced wet bowels, but only I have succeeded.
In fact, he was completely overwhelmed. The footage at that time was not recorded by the equipment, and there were only a group of audiences who "visited the scene" dictated it. The details of human memory are actually very unreliable, and the details of legends are even more unreliable. , but also peel off those croissant swimsuit skins that drunken people have blown beyond the solar system.
Putting it in Yan Kingdom and Longmen, the legend about him has become a strange thing similar to "Erlang God and Xiaotian Dog Fusion Evolution Fights Planet Devourer Parasitized by Symbiote Venom", and his appearance is even more "Brown Shengqing" Feng, eyes like bright stars, nose like hanging gallbladder, lips like fat, his face is comparable to Song Yu, and his appearance is like Pan An."
So even if Qiao Ge goes out without glasses, and points to his face to admit to passers-by that he is Superman, there is a high probability that he will only get a blank stare from the other party, or even a mouthful of spit.
"He~tui! Is your pretty (diao) boy (mao) worthy?"
Although there are still portraits depicting Superman, let’s just describe it this way, even if these portraits of Superman circulating outside are hung in the corridors of Rhodes Island, it is estimated that all the operators, including the doctor himself, will not be able to recognize who the above people are. Who.
Only a few conscience paintings that pay attention to the aesthetics of human body curves can give Linguang a clue.
However, this pair of glasses is really useful when used as a spy to infiltrate and hide his identity. Jogo will never admit that it can be used for other purposes, but this time his action without telling Kelsey is not to spy on Zista. trade secrets, but to ensure that Rhodes Island's business cooperation will not be obstructed.
Don't ask him how he knew someone was going to make trouble, this is also the reason why he couldn't tell Kelsey the plan in advance, because it can't be explained, so let's just think it was him who bumped into it by mistake on the way to "fall ill".
"Hiss~~~~ Well, the slightly drunk climate in summer coupled with the salty sea breeze that makes people lose their minds is really a good place for artistic inspiration. No wonder even a singer who doesn't take an unusual path like the Great Emperor will come. Participate in the Obsidian Festival at Kiesta."
The "sea" of Kiesta is actually an inland lake, but it is said that there is a natural tunnel leading to the sea at the bottom of the lake, and there may be some strange sea creatures in the lake that make the Agor people creepy, so it is regarded as a seaside city. It is also barely acceptable.
Just as he was greedily absorbing the fragrance in the air that seemed to be found in Skadi's bed, Jogo suddenly saw a pair of master and servant approaching a street cafe, a pink-haired young lady holding a parasol, and a A long-legged black cat with white fur and hot pants.
A strange light flashed across his glasses.
"Ah, a great show is always composed by 99% talent and 1% extraordinary coincidence. I guarantee you will be moved to tears when they find you, Miss Ceylon of Sesta, Just let our show…”
"Huh?"
"No! That's not what I'm going to say... Darling, next time when I'm speaking, how about restraining your talent? At least don't add strange endings to me."
"Whoa!"
"Well, no one here can understand what you're talking about anyway, so I'll buy you a toy later, remember to keep it a secret from your mother Kelsey."
-----------------------------------------
"Miss, you just came back from Victoria not long ago, why don't you spend more time with the master at home? The Obsidian Music Festival will be held soon, and the flow of people outside is more complicated than usual, so it's not suitable for Miss to go out."
The person with a silver ponytail and a pure black film tail behind her is Hei, the bodyguard of the Dolkos family, a species of black panther. She has been arranged by Herman as Ceylon's personal bodyguard and nanny since she was 12 years old. , Ceylon was only 3 years old at the time.
Even during this period, Hei would still carry out Herman's various tasks, most of which were murders that he had to do for the safety of Kiesta. It can be seen that Hei was a highly skilled killer at a young age, which was different from her 12 years old. related to previous experiences.
Hei was born into a wealthy family of gem merchants, but was later deceived by a fraud gang with origin stones disguised as gems. Hei's family was eventually killed by this gang, and Hei was infected with the origin stone disease, and then sold to The slave market is bought by a band of mercenaries and bred to be a deadly child killer who won't put his targets off guard.
Until the day when Herman was selected by the mercenary group as the target of the black, by chance, Herman persuaded the black to become his subordinate instead, and the black helped Herman wipe out the mercenary group, and Herman also followed The gangsters found the family gang that ruined her family.
Of course, none of the family members of this fraud gang escaped, and all died under the crossbow arrows of Hei Yiren. Does this plot sound familiar? Sicilians call themselves experts!
All in all, Hei, who had been revenged for his vengeance, had nothing to worry about, and began to concentrate on assisting Herman and taking care of Miss Ceylon. Although Ceylon also had a typical eldest lady's arrogant temper, he was the only one who treated Hei as close as family. It gave Hei the warmest and most precious emotional comfort in his life.
Therefore, the safety of Ceylon is what Hei cares most about, far more than her own life.
"It's not as exaggerated as you said, Hei, this is my home. Wouldn't it be absurd not to be able to stroll freely at home? And I have already planned the next series of origin stone geological exploration work. If you have doubts about the submitted volcano report, how can you rest assured if you don’t check it yourself?
But... now it's more important to have a cup of home-style coffee first, this is here, Robin Cafe, we used to come together before we went to Victoria, remember? "
"Of course I remember, Miss, wait a minute, Miss..."
Hei looked helplessly at Ceylon, who was immersed in nostalgia, and pushed the door into the cafe without even saying hello. Although Herman gave Hei the power to control Ceylon, and Ceylon has listened to Hei since childhood, But Hei, the cold-faced killer in the mission, couldn't help but instinctively pamper her.
To put it bluntly, the current passive security situation is also created by Hei himself. She has no choice but to follow Ceylon into the door together. If she can't dissuade her, she must at least provide personal protection at any time.
At the moment when the door was pushed open, the familiar aroma of coffee and a strange scent of flowers wafted into Hei's nose, just like in memory, but the elegant and tense music style like an opera performance had never been heard before. .
However, I heard that the original old shop owner has passed the shop to his son, and Heizhi is the new shop owner's taste in music.
"Welcome to my opening ceremony, two beautiful ladies, my lord... have been waiting for a long time."
Chapter 444 You, Will Know the True Beauty
Hei was the first to notice something was wrong in the cafe, because except for the piece that the man sitting in front of the piano was playing, every detail here was exactly the same as in her memory, even a little trace of the change of time Nothing at all, as if it appeared in her dream.
This can't exist in reality. Hei himself doesn't like petty bourgeois places like cafes. He only visits them when he's with his young lady. Therefore, during the years when Ceylon went to study in Victoria, Hei never visited again. Bird Café.
In a few years, enough sunlight and salty wind from Kiesta have corroded the decoration of the cafe, even if it is repainted, the change can still be seen, not to mention that the owner has changed during this period.
Hei then looked at the flower pots placed at the door. She might not know the ordinary decorative flowers, but one of the pots was the favorite special variety of the old shop owner's wife before she passed away. Every time Ceylon stopped to look at it before leaving For a while, Hei was extremely impressed by it.
Sure enough, the exotic flower is in full bloom just like a few years ago, and even the shape of the branches and leaves are still the same. No matter how perfect the other decorative details are restored, a bunch of living flowers cannot grow or fall for several years Bar?
Hei was startled, and immediately stretched out her hand towards the weapon in her side shoulder bag. The piano music in the background also entered into a passionate climax at this moment, but the moment her fingers touched the zipper of the shoulder bag, the music suddenly stopped. And stop.
It was only because the pianist stopped playing, turned around and stood up.
"Welcome to my opening ceremony, two beautiful ladies, my lord... have been waiting for a long time."
A slightly upturned mouth corner, a pale mask engraved with exquisite patterns, and a lean body under the white shawl and cloak, whose every movement seems to coincide with the silent rhythm and rhythm. A weird pistol exposed on the side of the waist.
At the first glance between the two sides, Hei had already confirmed the identity of this man, he was a colleague of his own, named - Killer.
"Stop talking nonsense! Who are you? What is your purpose!?"
Although they are colleagues, the two clearly show a completely different style of acting. Hei is a killing machine that has no emotion when performing tasks, and simplifies everything to the extreme. On the other hand, Jogo...
He's crazy, Kelsey has proof.
When Hei asked Qiao Ge, his hands had already assembled his sniper crossbow in an instant as if he had already set the program, loaded it, opened it, and aimed at it in one go, just waiting for the target in the sight to be killed.
"Oh! Although I have heard about Miss Hei's past deeds, I didn't expect you to be so boring and incomprehensible. I almost wasted a character script that should have been full of poetry. Maybe I should communicate with you in another way. ,for example…
Ride a children's tricycle and come to you slowly, say "IWantPlayAGame"? "
It wasn’t Hei’s words that answered Jhogo, but a high-speed crossbow bolt passing by the side of his face. The sharp blade of the arrow left a scratch on the side of the mask. Warning, Hei doesn't take this at all.
But he didn't seem to care, his figure was still as stable as a green pine, he didn't even shake it, and even chuckled at Hei for a while.
"Hehehehehe~, don't worry, Miss Hei, my talent makes me unable to ignore your wasted talent, you will immediately understand what kind of art is beyond common sense, and you will know the true beauty !"
Jogo suddenly raised his pistol named Whisper and pointed it forward, but the muzzle of the gun did not meet Hei's gaze. The oppressive atmosphere and powerful momentum created by Jogo forced Hei, who had to fully awaken his killer instinct. It was only then that she suddenly realized that she was no longer a killer.
She is the bodyguard of the Dalkos family, and also shoulders the duties of the head of the Xista City Public Security Bureau. What's more, she is not carrying out the task alone, and there is the person she most wants to protect by her side.
"stop!"
It's too late, although the equipment on Jogo's body can't increase the actual attack speed of his four bursts of whispers, but if we only talk about the drawing speed of the first shot, the reality is not limited by the animation of the model raising the hand in the game. How can a killer who can use his feet to catch up with the gangster's special escape vehicle be slow with his hands?
boom!
The bullets and the crossbow bolts were fired almost at the same time, and crossed in mid-air. Jogo's arm holding the gun was shot directly by the arrow, but when the flesh and blood exploded, it scattered into lavender smoke, and then the whole person disappeared in the same way. black eyes.
But Ceylon beside Hei was also pierced through the chest by a bullet, and no blood flowed from the piercing wound, which was as big as a bowl. Suffocating and painful beauty.
"Do not!"
Just when Hei was distraught, and even gave up the calmness of the killer instinct in his heart for many years because he could not find the trace of Jogo, holding a bow and crossbow at random in the dark place in the cafe, when the screen turned, it was Another scene.
"Hei, Hei! Wake up, Hei!"
Ceylon hugged Hei who was unconscious on the cafe seat and shouted loudly, but he still couldn't regain his sanity. What about the nightmare skills of the ghost system?
In fact, Hei's spirit and will are very firm. Logically speaking, Mengxi, who was born less than half a year ago, can't trap Hei. After a small drama performance, Hei fell into a false dream and couldn't extricate himself.
However, it can't be regarded as completely false, at least Qiao Ge's own image is still played by himself, and Mengxi can't do such a delicate work.
"What did you do to Black!?"
In the plot without Dr. Qiao, she is a young lady who dared to go to Mount Kiesta alone to conduct geological surveys in a long dress and dress, and even fought wits and bravery with a group of origin stone insects, and was almost blacked out.
So the frank and idealistic Ceylon didn't seem to realize that she was the real target of the other party. Instead, she pointed the pointed end of the parasol in her hand at Jogo, who looked like a perverted killer in front of her, and shouted loudly.
"Miss Hei is just asleep. When she wakes up from this bizarre and absurd dream, some old things that bound her will be broken. Only in this way can she release her true self, not as a family member. vassal.
After all, the rivalry is the most exciting part of the whole performance, and I will strive for perfection in every detail until it is excellent! "
Chapter 445 My theater is called Xinxin
Jogo looked at the lady in front of him who was in danger and didn't know it, and even guarded Hei who was hypnotized by nightmares like an old hen, and carefully considered how to stab him to death with a high-end parasol It is also dumbfounding.
By the way, he is still not clear about the specific bird species of Ceylon, because there are indeed many birds that match the blue and white coat color in the vertical painting, and the most similar ones are probably the gray-blue tit, copper-blue flycatcher, blue There are three kinds of song robins.
No matter which one the textual research parties think is the most in line with the setting, Qiao Ge himself agrees with the blue song robin more, because it also has an alias... the black wife.
White Cuckoo:
Although the true master-servant relationship between Ceylon and Hei is very admirable and enviable, but at least you have to recognize your own level of strength, right? It seems that this inexperienced young lady has to go to the Rhodes Island Medical Department to practice.
