Chapter 115 There will be no result between you and the Duchess!
On the second day.
Aaron and Taylor stood side by side on the streets of Lundinni.
"So you have no idea where the Lundini underground black market holds secret meetings, Major?" Aaron yawned, turned to look at the monitor beside him, and asked curiously: "Even if it is the source of intelligence from the military
Didn't find it either?"
"The Lundini underground black market regularly holds secret gatherings of this kind. Each gathering is held in a different location. I don't know where this gathering is.
Taylor shook his head. It was rare for him to wear clothes other than military uniforms. At this time, he was wearing a decent suit and a black top hat on his head, which concealed his temperament of a hard-blooded soldier and transformed into a very common Lundin.
Nigerian gentleman:
"The military informant must have known about it, but I didn't ask."
Strictly speaking, at this time, Taylor was performing the task of "monitoring Aaron". Normally, he would not have time to intervene in the recent activities of the Lundini underground black market. The military must have someone else responsible for secretly following up on this secret gathering.
, Taylor just knew about the existence of this matter.
Their plan to go to the underground black market was just a whim, giving Aaron a chance to test his abilities.
"But Major, have you ever thought about a problem?" Aaron scratched his head, "Even if I find the correct place for the secret meeting through the 'cross-road choice', we are not qualified to participate in the secret meeting, right?"
"You don't need to worry about this." Taylor showed a mysterious smile, "As long as you can find the right place, I have a way to take you in and learn a lot."
"That's good."
Aaron nodded.
The state of psychic vision brought to him by the new extraordinary ability module has not ended yet. He confirmed before going to bed last night that there were no other "dirty things" in his house except the female ghost who silently stared at the vase.
But at this time, on the streets of Lundini, many ghosts can be seen floating in the streets.
It's a cloudy day today, and there's hardly any bright sunshine, so these ghosts seem to be running rampant.
Aaron even saw a ghost carriage carrying a car full of singing and dancing ghosts whizzing past, and almost hit Aaron directly.
"Why are there so many ghosts on the streets of Lundini?"
"Because Lundini is densely populated, deaths are naturally much more frequent than in other cities."
Major Taylor said softly. He couldn't see the ghost and didn't look around like Aaron. He just looked at the pedestrians in the street quietly.
He could see gentlemen in suits and ties, he could also see beggars begging for food in the dirty streets, he could see a sweet and happy family of three, and he could also see an old, frail and unaccompanied poor man working hard
.
In the territory of the empire, in the rich and prosperous Lundini, the never-setting sun shines on everyone equally, and everyone can taste the bitterness and sweetness brought by the industrial age.
However, those who taste sweetness try to enjoy the sweetness to themselves, while those who taste bitterness can only taste more and more bitterly.
Aaron looked at Taylor's side face and saw some of his worries from his expression. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "Major, what do you want to do?"
"There are many, many things I want to do, but there are very few things I can do." Taylor shook his head and said with some emotion: "Mr. Hill, do you know who the person I admire the most is?
”
"Earl Leinster? Or Norman?"
Aaron casually reported two names, but he could vaguely feel in his heart that these were not the correct answers.
As expected, Taylor shook his head: "None of them... I envy Mr. Earl Leinster very much, and I envy Mr. Norman even more, because they have the power to change Londinian and even the empire, but the idol I admire most is still Edward.
The Duchess's father, Hugo Edwards."
Aaron was not surprised.
He had heard about Hugo's deeds from his old buddies in the tavern, heard Anna's comments about his father, and had personally dealt with Hugo in the kingdom of flesh and blood.
He also admired Hugo for what he had done. He also received help from him on Flesh and Flesh Train, and even saw his mobility in practicing his principles (referring to protecting his daughter).
"It's a pity that Mr. Hugo is dead, and his successor doesn't seem to want to inherit his legacy." Taylor shook his head, "And I have no chance to do the same thing as him. Mr. Hugo is a
A genius, and I have just climbed to this position, and I have already tried my best..."
Aaron shook his head and said to Taylor:
"Major, I believe you can change Lundini and this empire one day."
Taylor was stunned and nodded subconsciously: "Thank you."
"Also, if you mean 'Hugo's successor', you mean Anna." Aaron quickly walked to a small grocery store that was open nearby and said as he walked, "She may not be what you imagined.
That kind of person."
After saying that, Aaron walked into the grocery store, making Taylor frown.
He didn't expect that Aaron would actually speak for the duchess even though Anna had cut her off with Aaron, who had saved her life, in front of him and Norman yesterday.
Taylor quickly caught up with Aaron who walked into the store and warned him sincerely:
"Mr. Hill, wake up, there will be no consequences between you and Duchess Edwards! The aristocratic circle in the empire is very exclusive. I can make a marriage contract with the daughter of Earl Leinster because my father is a noble
.Although the Duchess is indeed one of the most beautiful unmarried women in Lundinni, I think you should be more pragmatic. If you are anxious to get married, I can definitely introduce you to several outstanding women after you clear the suspicion..."
"Stop, stop, stop, what's this mess?"
The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched slightly, interrupting the chatter of Tai (old) Le (mother) young (child) principal.
Taylor may have thought that he was attracted by Anna's beauty because he just went out of his way to argue for her. He was even planning to arrange a blind date for Aaron, hoping to use this method to save Aaron who was "fascinated" by the Duchess.
Lun.
But in fact, Anna's beauty or not will not affect Aaron's high opinion of her at all.
Of course, Anna's appearance is indeed in line with Aaron's aesthetics.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reminisce about that soft and sweet kiss.
Aaron licked his lips, turned to the owner of the grocery store and asked: "Boss, are you buying this?"
"Sir, 2 pounds."
"Here."
Aaron took out a 2-pound coin from his arms and took the thing he just picked from the boss's hand.
A cane that looks a bit heavy and sturdy.
He tried waving the cane, nodded with satisfaction, then walked out of the grocery store and returned to the intersection.
"Mr. Hill, why did you buy this cane?"
Taylor asked curiously, and Aaron simply replied:
"Finding the way."
Chapter completed!
