After hearing what Lorraine said, the big man immediately snorted, then gave Lorraine a roll of his eyes and said, "Why should we talk to you? You came out of the city guard's mansion. Who knows if you and that damn bald man are the same person?"
Man, we are bandits and you are officials. I am being polite by not killing you. You are very brave if you dare to come to the outer city alone. It is easy for a few people to disappear here."
Lorraine looked at him cautiously, keeping the handle of the pistol on his waist in his hand, planning to shoot him dead on the spot if anything went wrong.
Due to the caution of all espionage personnel, he has never been sure whether this guy was really sent by Whitebeard, or whether he was an undercover undercover sent by the Dark Council.
"It's been a long time since I came in. I believe that no one in this Caribbean city is better informed than you." Lorraine stopped and glanced at the big man opposite, and saw him raise his eyebrows. It was obvious that he
That's right.
The big man touched the scar on his face and said: "I don't know your origin. If it weren't for the fact that you beat Grok once, you would be a corpse by now. You'd better tell me
Something useful, otherwise, young man, all the money you earn will be wasted."
Lorraine knew in her heart that people like them were related to all religions and religions, and it was easy to get some information. Besides, whether it was knocking out Grok and his gang on the road, or frying tomatoes, it was not difficult to find out.
Lorraine looked at the disdain on the other person's face, and looked at herself with a cold light in her one eye. Then she smiled and said, "I have a lot of business~! No one can do it except you."
The one-eyed Duke sneered and said: "Business? How big a business? Since you dare to find this place, you should know that we are doing big business. And what kind of business..."
The one-eyed Duke took out a dagger, wiped it gently with his thumb, and said: "It's not as big as an ordinary one. I'm afraid you can't do it with us."
Lorraine hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Big business from my hometown."
The one-eyed Duke sneered and said, "The devil knows where your hometown is."
Lorraine sighed and said calmly: "Your hometown."
The one-eyed Duke was startled and lost his voice: "Our hometown?"
Then the one-eyed Duke jumped up, pointed the dagger at Lorraine, and said viciously: "Speak clearly."
"Shut up~!" a voice next to him shouted sternly.
Lorraine sighed softly, then turned around to look.
Sure enough, I saw the cold light flashing in the fat shopkeeper's eyes, his shoulders slightly lowered, sweeping away the cowardice and cowardice just now, showing a sharp and eagle-like demeanor.
From the moment Lorraine entered the door, he had already discovered that although the one-eyed Duke's aura was exposed, he was always a little less decisive. He did not seem to be a decisive person. He seemed to be always hesitating. This was because he, the pirate connector,
The identity does not match.
Therefore, Lorraine's intuition always felt that something was wrong, that she might have fallen into a trap and was tricked by someone.
The shopkeeper strode forward and sat on Lorraine's side.
He was not surprised at all when he saw Lorraine, and looked at him with a smile. A strange color flashed in his eyes, and he looked at him eagerly, and said in a deep voice: "I have always been very careful, and since I entered the door, Duke has never been
Without even looking at me, how did you know that I was the one talking to you?"
"Isn't this nonsense?" Lorraine chuckled, then fondled the ring on her hand, and said: "A black-hearted tavern owner who sells bad wine, who is also treacherous and despicable, actually gave the pirates money when they were talking about business.
You have the courage to stand aside and not shy away from it at all. This is not what a slick little person would do. Your thugs can only stay outside the house for now. There are only two reasons. First, to do chores for the pirates.
.Second, he is the boss hidden behind."
Lorraine paused for a moment, then looked at him seriously, and then said: "Brother, although you look a little wretched and your eyes are a little small, you don't look like a handyman. Of course the answer is just
It could be the second type."
Next to him, Duke twisted his waist uneasily and kept gesturing to the shopkeeper with his eyes.
Lorraine smiled and said: "Mr. Duke, be careful. It takes three seconds to cock your concealed crossbow. But mine only takes tenths of a second. If I move my fingers, I'm dead."
As he spoke, Lorraine took out his pistol and placed it on the table, but his right hand was still careful not to leave the handle of the gun.
Duke paused for a moment, his slightly raised arm froze, his eyes looking at the weapon in Lorraine's hand.
At this time, Yule waved his hand gently, and then looked at the pistol calmly. Although he didn't know what kind of weapon it was, he could feel the shining metallic luster.
It contains hidden murderous intent.
Especially the straight barrel at the front is very consistent with the characteristics of a magic weapon.
Yule looked at Lorraine and said, "You are from our hometown. I don't know what you mean. If you have business to discuss, just say so. If you don't, don't blame us for being rude."
Lorraine said: "I think you should know that I am also from your hometown."
Yule was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath, and then said coldly: "Who are you? Since you dare to claim to be from your hometown, it is either true, or you are an agent of the Dark Parliament. The former, I love wine and meat.
Entertain, the latter…”
At this point, he slapped the table, squeezed out a voice from between his teeth, and said solemnly: "Bring some evidence, otherwise, there will be a ready-made pit behind you, and you will be buried alive in a moment~!"
As his voice fell, a sword flashed next to him. Several burly men stood outside the window with sharp knives in hand, blocking all swear words. They had murderous looks on their faces. They only waited for an order to rush in.
Cut Lord Luo into pieces with random swords.
Lorraine looked at it and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was just a matter of words. Does this person who uses knives and guns need such a big battle?
However, this is no wonder.
This joint has always been a matter of fear for both parties. I am afraid that they are hooks of the demons. Why aren't they afraid that they are spies sent by the demons?
No one dares to say anything without being 100% sure.
Lorraine thought of this and smiled immediately, then took off the diamond ring in her hand and said, "Take a look."
Duke took it doubtfully and looked at it carefully. Although he was amazed by the beauty of this gem, he was just like Lord Luo when he first got it.
It's big enough.
Lorraine snorted coldly and said: "Bumpkin, you see clearly. This is not a mainland product. Not everyone can see the tricks, so don't blind your eyes."
Duke curled his lips and said: "Isn't it just diamonds? I also have many of them. They are all eight stars and eight arrows..."
The shopkeeper next to him looked at Lorraine's calm face, then looked at the diamond, then a cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "Shut up, don't embarrass me here."
As he said that, he reached out and snatched it away.
He came closer to the diamond and took a closer look. A strange look appeared on his face.
Finally, Yule breathed a sigh of relief, touched the sweat on his forehead, held the diamond in both hands, and said respectfully: "Sir, how are you doing back home? I haven't been back for many years. Is the summer still as hot as before?"
Lorraine took the diamond, hesitated for a moment, and said: "No, the green trees outside the city have already been shaded. It is very cool and there are many animals. The owls make a lot of noise at night, which often makes people unable to sleep."
As he spoke, he lightly knocked on the table.
These words were the highest-level codes given by the Vatican when they first came. The person who taught Lorraine this trick before he came also specifically told Lorraine that he must memorize it by heart and not make any mistakes, otherwise it would be fatal.
This set of code words is not only about speaking, but also has extremely strict requirements on gestures in conjunction with it.
The purpose is to prevent anyone from falling into the hands of the Dark Council and confessing everything under their cruel torture, which would bring disaster to the entire organization.
With these small details, even if he can survive the torture and reveal the secret code, as long as he is not determined to be a traitor and hides something slightly, then the enemy will not be able to crack the entire espionage network. And in the first
He knew immediately that his spy had been caught.
Afterwards, the Holy See will do everything possible to rescue him.
On the contrary, if they all confess truthfully and the spy network is destroyed, then the Holy See will send out a team of anti-corruption teams to pursue them to the death.
While Lorraine was facing the code with the shop owner, she also became curious about his identity. Such a high-level code was definitely not something that an ordinary liaison station manager could easily know.
The two exchanged a few more words. Until both parties were sure that everything was correct, they both let out a long breath at the same time.
The shopkeeper waved his hand and asked all the big men outside the door to retreat.
Lorraine also gently wiped the slight sweat on her head, sighing inwardly: This joint is more careful than those selling white powder.
But then again, those who sell white powder all learned from here. After all, everyone is in the business where they lose their heads all the time.
The shopkeeper sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, and then sighed deeply and said, "How many years has it been? How many years have I been here~!"
I can’t even remember it, I almost forgot what the red leaves in the maple leaf forest look like..."
Next to him, Duke introduced to Lorraine: "This is the legitimate son of our gang leader. He also went to school in Maple Leaf Danlin back then."
Lorraine looked at him and felt very fond of him.
Although they are from different classes, they are still classmates. And it is definitely not easy to find a classmate on this continent. It is estimated that apart from the two of them, the only Maple Leaf Danlin graduates on this continent are Dark.
There are one or two in the parliament.
What's more, one more classmate leads to another path. This is a universal truth that remains unchanged and applies to everyone.
When everyone was participating in the imperial examination, just because they took the examination in the same examination room, they became the elder brothers and elder brothers. They couldn't help but build relationships, and even risked giving eye drops to the emperor's boss and formed cliques for personal gain. It was said that they were in the same year.
It's like finding an organization.
Isn’t it just to gain more connections so that you can take bribes and get yourself up?
Even little Brother Bu didn't study hard when he was in school and went to join gang organizations.
But later, why was he able to become the president? It is said that it was because he had a special skill. He memorized the names of all his classmates at that time.
Ladle handle.
Lorraine looked at the man and said immediately: "Oh, are you also from Maple Leaf Danlin?"
Yuer was startled, almost unable to believe it, and said: "What? Are you also Maple Leaf Danlin?"
The two of them looked at each other and immediately sighed.
Yuer immediately inquired about the current situation of the maple leaf forest. Is the grove behind the castle still a place for lovers to rendezvous? Throwing a stone startled a group of wild mandarin ducks.
Are the gangsters at Knight Academy still as boring as before, and have they broken the ultimate curse of ‘can’t find a girlfriend before graduation’?
Is the food in the cafeteria of the Military Academy still as unpalatable as before? Everyone is thinking of ways to go to the cafeteria of the Mage Academy.
There was still a sultry guy playing the harp outside the girls' dormitory, and the tough administrator was slapped away.
During graduation, was there anyone who stayed up late at night, drank too much cat urine, ran to the girls' dormitory and screamed, Xiaoli, I love you...
While Lorraine was chatting with him eagerly, she remembered that she had graduated two years ago, and she couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief.
At the same time, I also have deep admiration for this store manager who sticks to this place.
He has persisted in obscurity for such a long time. If it were him, he would have found an excuse and ran away long ago.
Yule saw what he meant, and immediately laughed and said: "I am not at a loss either. I only stay here for a period of time every year to collect some useful things. Most of the time, I am also at sea, traveling across the seven seas.
Killing people, setting fires, etc., raiding their ports, and fighting with the Semitic navy."
He paused for a moment, and then continued: "But now the Semitic navy is becoming less and less of a thing. Not only are they cracking down on our smuggling, but they actually started smuggling themselves. These sons of bitches are taking over.
It has given us a large chunk of the market.”
Seeing the disgust on his face, Lorraine couldn't help but smile. It seemed that this brother was living quite comfortably here.
The two chatted together for a long time before finally getting back to the topic.
You Er said: "We received the order from our hometown and knew that you had a heavy responsibility, so we did not dare to neglect it. But we didn't expect that you would come just as we made preparations."
Lorraine smiled and said, "I took a shortcut."
Due to the need for confidentiality, even if the other party is trustworthy, specific matters cannot be disclosed.
Yule didn't mind, and said boldly: "We are all our own people. Tell me, if there is anything you need our help with."
Lorraine was not polite at the moment. He took out a map, spread it out on the table, and said: "That's it, I found a few suspicious places. Here, here, and here..."
As he spoke, he pointed at several locations above.
Yule took a look, and then nodded: "Yes, we have suspected these places and have been investigating them, but it is quite difficult. They are very strict and have even used the Dark Knight. Until now.
, we are just..."
As he spoke, he pointed at a valley, and then continued: "Arrange a cook in Qingyou Valley. This even took our boss's effort."
When he said this, he smiled mockingly and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I've been investigating them for a full year, and I don't even know what they want to do. And you discovered something wrong with these things as soon as you came here."
Much better than the rest of us."
Lorraine looked at him and smiled: "You don't have to blame yourself, after all, your work focus is not here."
Yuer also smiled immediately and said: "You are still awesome~!"
"It's just a coincidence. I can only say that I'm lucky." Lorraine smiled, said modestly, and then continued: "According to my estimation, these places are likely to be the manufacturing bases of war fortresses."
"War...War Fortress..." Yule was immediately startled, and the color on his face changed.
Although a thousand years have passed since the last war of the Holy Guard, the war fortress flying in the sky, dominating the world, and its invincible majesty has become an immortal legend - after being sung by countless bards, it remains in people's hearts
It left a deep imprint.
The phrase "death fell from the sky" is the beginning of many stories about this terrible weapon.
He trembled: "This... how is this possible? Isn't it said that the manufacturing technology of that kind of war fortress has been lost? I have been here for so many years, and I have never heard that they have built a war fortress on this continent.
"
Lorraine shrugged and said: "I don't know the specifics, but I guess they may have found some way. Anyway, the demand for green magic crystals and pumice stones in those places is astonishingly high."
Yule's face turned even paler and he said: "You mean, these places started working at the same time, just like making scrambled eggs, producing war fortresses together."
Lorraine sighed softly and said, "I very much hope not, but this is the most reasonable guess."
Yule looked at the places on the map, bit his lip, and gritted his teeth for the last time, saying: "I will recruit people when I turn around, and I will destroy these places even with human lives~!"
Lorraine glanced at him in shock and said, "No~! Of course not."
Yule was stunned.
Lorraine sighed and said: "Not to mention how many lives you can fill with their heavy troops. What's more, even if you destroy it, they will rebuild it somewhere else."
Yuer said solemnly: "Then what do you mean..."
Lorraine looked at the map, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We'd better steal their blueprints. This way we can find out their weaknesses.
What's more, with the blueprints in hand, we can also imitate them. With our continent's construction capabilities and magic level, I believe we can definitely create more and better things than him."
Lorraine said this with full confidence. Not to mention anything else, Naian's manufacturing level is comparable to that of copycat mobile phone manufacturers, and it is absolutely possible to achieve this.
You know, when Lord Luo came, those gangsters were working in full swing, saying that they must build a steam locomotive even if it was built by hand.
After hearing what Lorraine said, Yuer felt that he had just been too reckless: since it was a secret base and the opponent was heavily guarded, even if he personally led the team, he would definitely leave and never return.
He nodded immediately and said: "You are right. We will do it according to your method. How many people do you want and what do you want us to do? Just tell us."
Like all local officials, they treat their superiors who come by air. Although they are respectful on the surface, in fact, they still have some disdain for Lorraine in their hearts - this ruffian must be the illegitimate son of some big boss, and he came here to gain experience points.
Within two days, I couldn't stand the pain anymore, and I just patted my butt and walked.
It was only then that he truly put aside his contempt for Lorraine and fully cooperated.
Lorraine looked at the look in his eyes and didn't say anything at the moment. He looked down at the map, pondered for a moment, and said: "You'd better let the cook find a way to make a map of the camp, and then get sick or something, recommend another one."
One person will go over and take his place. When the time comes, I will go over and pretend..."
Yule was startled and said: "Sir, are you taking too many risks?"
Lorraine smiled and said: "You all have familiar faces, and once they are recognized, they will be followed and everyone will be picked up. But I won't."
Yule thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "That's fine, sir."
He saw Lorraine standing up at this time, and said hurriedly: "I have news later, where can we find you?"
Lorraine thought for a moment and said, "You guys go to the city guard's mansion. I'll be here these days."
As he said that, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Lorraine arrived at the tavern in front. Before she entered, she heard a loud noise coming from inside and was startled.
The shopkeeper immediately stepped forward vigilantly, took the lead, and went in to take a look. Then he looked dumbfounded.
Lorraine glanced at him and walked in immediately.
Originally, out of caution, he asked Vera and Leo to stay outside. If something happened, it would not only protect them from danger, but also help him.
Lorraine walked into the store and saw four or five tables put together in the middle of the store. Leo stood on the table with his chest folded, his little face flushed with excitement, and he kept shouting: "
It’s a bet, it’s a bet. The bet is gone~! We are Xiaobai, the God of Gamblers, who personally plays the banker, and we will put an end to cheating, and we will never be deceived..."
Next to him, Xiaobai's eyes were shining with excitement. There was a big rocker rolled up on his long nose, which kept shaking and making a series of tinkling sounds.
A group of drinkers, all on three levels inside and three levels outside, were crowded around the table. They shouted loudly and waved their fists. Regardless of the sweat and stench of the crowd, they put their hands on the table.
Gold coins and copper plates were piled on the table.
Vera, on the other hand, stood aside with her hands on her hips, looking menacing. At her feet, there were two charred gangsters lying on their backs, twitching from time to time. It was obvious that they wanted to play tricks, but they were dealt with by her.
