Yabok choked away the fat student, and Kama also ignored Alex, who was considered the top rich and handsome man in Lu Ying. The group of small nobles looked down upon Su Lun and the three country bumpkins even more.
But the three of them didn't care at all and just found a sofa in the corner and sat down.
Karma held the business card in his hand that showed no interest at all, and was about to find a trash can and throw it away.
But at this time, Su Lun thought of something and said, "Wait a minute, don't throw away the business card yet."
Karma looked over and asked, "What's the matter, teacher?"
Su Lun stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your business card."
Although Karma didn't know what his teacher was going to do, he handed it over.
Su Lun thought for a while, took out a pen and wrote a line on the card.
Karma was watching with his head tilted to the side, but he didn't understand what the line of greeting-like sentences wanted to express.
She asked directly: "Teacher, what did you write? Why didn't I understand it?"
Su Lun did not answer directly, but smiled, as if he wanted to test the cryptography level of the two disciples.
At the side, Yabok saw something and said: "Sister, this is the Herodotus encryption method. It is usually used by mystical professionals and requires a specific sequence to decode."
As he spoke, he counted the words with his fingers, as if calculating some special order, and then said: "The teacher probably wanted to remind that guy. Since he is a tarot magician, it doesn't take a long time to complete the code of this level."
It can be deciphered. It can also be protected from prying eyes."
Karma pouted as he listened, with a frustrated expression on his face, and then he suddenly realized: "Ah, it's cryptography."
Cryptozoology is a basic subject in the field of alchemy, but it is also one of the most difficult subjects.
That requires a huge amount of knowledge, keen observation skills and logical thinking abilities.
Everyone can learn cryptography.
But becoming a qualified cryptographer requires talent.
As it happens, Karma is not good at this.
After Su Lun finished writing, he handed over the business card and said: "Kama, please hand this business card back to Alex."
"Ah, teacher, shall I go?"
Karma didn't forget that the young man came to chat with him just now, and he was almost stabbed to the core by the jealous looks of those noble ladies.
But after murmuring, she was still so obedient as to say: "Oh, I got it."
Although she didn't understand what was written on it, she also knew that it was best for her to go alone.
If you have a motive, you won't be suspected.
Maybe I will be regarded by those aristocratic ladies and young men as an ugly duckling who loves vanity and wants to cling to the powerful?
Karma pursed his lips and thought reluctantly.
Taking a deep breath, she mustered up the courage to walk towards the group of young students from Luying Royal Academy.
Su Lun sat on the sofa and looked at the people coming and going in the banquet hall.
He sent a message to that young master Alex, not because he wanted to make friends with any powerful people.
Fortunately, there is still such a strong "Duke of Wushan" who opposes theocratic power, so Lu Ying has not completely become a paradise for foreign gods to spread their faith. If something happens to his son, the forces in Lu Ying's upper class who are controlled by foreign gods will
It's getting stronger.
"Dawn" will not turn the ancient empire of Lu Ying into a theocratic state.
So within your ability, just lend a helping hand.
Su Lun, a young teacher, had deceived Karma, and he also guessed that after she gave the business card again, she would definitely become the focus of everyone's attention. She had no intention of being in the spotlight together.
Just as Kit's plan is about to begin,
Then he left his seat,
Stay in Albock and finish the Rubik's Cube on the sofa,
I wandered around the banquet hall again
On the other hand, in the small circle of Luying Royal Academy, a group of students were also laughing and joking about what happened just now.
If they can form a small circle, there is a high probability that their parents are also political allies.
Most of these people are the children of theocratic opposition MPs.
"Hahaha, our Young Master Alex has his moments of failure. The key is, is the other party still a common girl?"
"That girl doesn't look like an ordinary commoner. She should be a descendant of a down-and-out noble who lost her noble title. Tsk tsk, she does have some scheming intentions. Won't she be remembered by us all at once?"
"No, you must have misunderstood. That girl is very special. Tarot divination told me that she will bring me good luck."
"Alex, it's not that I don't believe in your tarot divination. But how can a girl who doesn't know you come from that remote territory reject you? Maybe she has recognized your identity and deliberately dressed up for the banquet.
I bet she will be eager to come see you once she returns to Rington!"
"Hey, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until I get back to London. Look, isn't this delivered to your door?"
""
A group of aristocratic young masters and ladies looked at Kama walking in the distance, their mouths were full of teasing, and their eyes were full of all kinds of jokes.
In Luying, aristocrats and commoners are people from two different worlds, and that class concept is engraved in their bones.
No matter how beautiful the ugly duckling is, it is just a plaything of the nobles.
Even if you can marry into a wealthy family, without the exchange of benefits from the matrilineal family, you are just a flower vase, and no one will take it seriously.
The male students were laughing and watching the fun, but the girls' eyes were full of vicious jealousy.
Karma resisted the bone-shattering look of disdain and walked up to the group of young people.
Although Alex was confused as to why she was here now, he still greeted her like a gentleman and asked: "Miss Kama, do you have a problem with me?"
Karma wanted to get rid of the hot potato in his hand as soon as possible. He endured the discomfort and handed over the business card directly, "Here's this for you."
Then he turned around and left.
But in the eyes of others, this is very artificial and "shy".
Alex was slightly startled, a little confused by her reaction. He took the business card and saw that it was the one he handed out. It just had an extra sentence on it.
He frowned as he looked at it, did he guess wrong?
Is this really a vain commoner girl?
As the others watched, they all gave ambiguous smiles.
In the eyes of others, the content written on the business card is most likely dating information, and it is not easy to read too much.
After a quick glance, no one took him seriously.
Alex read that passage carefully, it was like a greeting excerpted from some kind of literary book.
Normally.
He looked at the back of Kama who left in a hurry, and felt that something was wrong.
You can't go wrong with tarot.
Then he read the passage again and again.
It wasn't until the third time that his eyes sharpened and he keenly discovered that the arrangement of this sentence seemed to be some kind of encryption method.
"Huh"
Alex let out a sigh in his heart.
After calmly deciphering the encrypted content above, I discovered that there was a secret message hidden in that sentence: "There are a large number of believers of alien gods on the ship, be careful of the people around you, including Professor Virginia."
Although the secret language was only a simple sentence, his heart felt like being struck by lightning, and he understood something instantly!
My own father is the biggest opponent of the "Proposal on Freedom of Belief in Gods". Now that believers of alien gods have joined the cruise ship, it's hard not to be suspicious!
Could it be that there are believers of foreign gods who want to assassinate me?
Abel immediately became alert and alerted his secret guard.
Although he did not rule out that the person who wrote this had bad intentions, his intuition told him that the girl just now was definitely not an enemy, otherwise there would be no need for her to remind herself.
Alex put the business card away calmly and continued chatting with his friends.
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the figure who had gone to the corner, and he even felt a little disappointed: It turns out he was just delivering a letter.
"Oh, it's so embarrassing."
Karma felt that his face was on fire at this moment, boiling hot.
Those contemptuous looks are really irritating.
It just can’t be explained!
She quickly walked to the sofa in the corner, saw her brother playing with the Rubik's Cube, and asked, "Aberke, where is the teacher?"
Yabok raised his head and looked in another direction, "Here~ over there. He's chatting with the lady in the black skirt."
Seeing this, Karma's eyes became even more resentful, "Teacher is really hateful. He asked me to do such an embarrassing thing when he went to strike up a conversation."
Yabo Ke was very indifferent: "Sister, only if you deliver the letter will you not be suspected."
Karma rolled his eyes at his brother: "I know! But I'm still so angry! It's so shameful!"
Yabok said calmly: "The teacher said, sister, you have to be thick-skinned, so that you will suffer less in the future. Besides, I don't feel any shame. What they want to think is their business, sister, you just go
Just sending a letter."
After that, he corrected: "Also, the teacher didn't go to strike up a conversation. He was struck up by the lady. And if I read correctly, it should be the woman who was secretly observing us before."
Karma: ""
Su Lun was wandering around in the banquet hall, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by the mysterious woman in front of him.
She was wearing a black lace dress, with a graceful figure and good temperament. She looked like a pampered aristocratic lady.
Of course, if she is not a professional.
The energy fluctuations of professionals can be hidden using some special means, such as the [Energy Fluctuation Disruptor] used by the Marfa Army.
But the soul fluctuations cannot be hidden.
The mysterious woman with big breasts and a curvy butt in front of me is at least a fourth-level professional.
Moreover, Su Lun also discovered that this woman had observed them many times since just now.
A high-level professional took the initiative to get close to him. It was obviously not because he was handsome, but must have some other purpose.
Suellen even suspected that she was also a member of the Priory of Giants.
But this woman had no allergic reaction to his "perfume".
This made Su Lun confused about her purpose for a while.
The two began to test each other while chatting.
"Sir, are you an expert on ancient cultural relics? I just heard you explaining the exhibits to your disciples in great detail. Sorry, I didn't mean to listen, but I happened to be right next to you just now."
"I'm not an expert, just a little bit of research."
"What do you call me sir?"
"You can call me Nicholas. What about you, Madam?"
"Mr. Nicholas, why do you think I am a 'madam'?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just think that ordinary girls are not as charming and charming as you."
"Sir, you have such a sweet mouth."
""
Although Su Lun felt that he was a serious person, he would not be polite to such a scheming woman who always sticks to him, probably because she wants to test her muscle strength.
If you dare to post it, I will do it.
Su Lun's big hands naturally caressed the woman's slender waist, and naturally tested her gluteus maximus muscles.
His muscles are very flexible, and he is obviously a melee-type professional.
But the strange thing is that this woman's body seems to be weak and boneless, with an unusual softness to it.
Su Lun guessed that it might be some kind of talent.
I have to say, it feels good in the hand.
I have always heard that Luying’s imperial capital has a very open concept of both sexes and is known as the romantic capital, which is probably what it means. Gentlemen and ladies will be happy to have fun and release their passion when they meet someone of the opposite sex who they like. No one wants to
What kind of burden will there be on my heart?
The woman in front of me clearly has the boldness and calmness of a woman from the imperial capital.
While Su Lun and the woman were chatting, the charity auction dinner also started.
The lights in the banquet hall dimmed, and a few beams of lights shone on the stage.
After the auctioneer took the stage, he briefly introduced that all the money from this batch of auction items would be donated to the Charity Children's Fund, and then the auction process began.
In the darkness, Suellen and the woman named Caroline were still talking.
"Sir, your perfume smells very special~"
"oh?"
"I run a perfume business myself, but I have never smelled such a special perfume."
""
Su Lun also knew that this woman probably saw some clues.
He didn't intend to write more ink, and both parties knew it well, "I think Madam, you can be more sincere."
There was a trace of ambiguity in Caroline's feminine crystal eyes. Her body was almost half glued to Su Lun's body, and she asked: "Sir, what do you think is sincerity?"
The auction has already begun, and Su Lun still has business to do. It’s not like he has never seen a beautiful woman before, but he doesn’t want to waste time on this woman: “For example, let’s talk about the mysterious collector behind this collection.
"
When Caroline heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and did not deny it: "How did you see it?"
Su Lun didn't want to explain more. He just guessed it from some details. He tried it out and didn't think it was true: "If you are willing to say it, we will continue to chat. If you are not willing, then I'm sorry."
He was sure that the other party took the initiative to strike up a conversation. In addition to testing, there must be something to ask for.
Hearing this, Caroline looked at Su Lun.
After pondering for a moment, she seemed to have made a decision, and said directly without further ado: "This batch of goods came out of my channel. But now, I find that things are beyond my control. Because there are some people with evil intentions.
On board."
"oh?"
Su Lun's expression didn't change at all as he listened. He looked like he was listening to what was going on.
However, he was quite surprised that the person who arranged this batch of goods was not from the Giant Monastery?
Caroline continued: "To tell you the truth, I don't know who this collection belongs to. It came from a mysterious channel. But I arranged to get on the ship. Because I found something wrong before, so I
I followed him in person."
Speaking of this, there was a solemn look in her eyes, and she added: "Coincidentally, just now, my subordinates discovered that the remote communication device on the ship had failed. It was not a mechanical failure, but a man-made failure. The external signal was blocked.
It’s completely blocked. That means we can’t contact the outside world now.”
""
When Su Lun heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he still did not express his position.
He had long known that there were people from the Giant Monastery on the ship, so it was not surprising to hear that someone was about to take action now.
He didn't fully believe what this woman said either.
Caroline narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly when she saw that Su Lun didn't express his position.
At least she felt that her judgment was correct. She saw a very strong professional in front of her, and said: "Just now you asked that little girl to deliver the letter. You probably know the identity of the young master and want to remind him of something, right?
"
Su Lun felt a little surprised now. Such a hidden purpose was seen?
He asked curiously: "How did you know you were going to deliver a letter?"
Caroline said: "Because I am also a woman. That little girl has no regard for Master Alex at all. And I know the inside story of this exhibition and the [Hanged Man Card]. So the content of the letter,
It’s not hard to guess. This is also the most important reason why I came to you. Although I don’t know which force you belong to, you definitely won’t be part of that group of guys with evil intentions.”
""
After Su Lun heard this, he felt a little interesting.
He also made sure that this person was not an enemy.
At least not from the Priory of Giants.
At the same time, he also secretly sighed that this Linton City was really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. How could a random woman be so powerful?
But it doesn't matter whether you guess it or not. In the face of absolute strength, the role of scheming is negligible.
At least so far, Su Lun has not found anyone threatening him on this ship.
The auction is still going on, and one piece after another is being auctioned, which seems to announce the countdown to some kind of conspiracy.
Caroline knew that she had no time to delay, and said directly: "I mean, there is such a big shot on this ship, if something happens, I am the one who shipped the goods, and I will get into a lot of trouble. And I
The manpower on the ship may not be enough to cope with such an accident. Therefore, I hope that you, sir, can help within the scope of your ability. Of course, no matter what, I will express my gratitude to you when I go to Lington in the future. I won’t say goodbye.
Yes, I still have some energy in Linton."
This tone may not sound like much to others, but Su Lun roughly guessed the identity of this woman as soon as she heard the slang in her mouth.
Su Lun glanced at her and asked calmly: "Who is your Excellency?"
Caroline didn't mean to hide her identity anymore and handed over a gold business card with a black rose printed on it.
If nothing else, this card is worth a lot of money.
It also has the name 'Caroline Worster' printed on it, as well as the name of a well-known gangster in Rington.
Su Lun took a look and now understood everything.
Killing with a borrowed knife kills three birds with one stone.
The gangsters in Old Lingtown are a deformed and special product of the times. They cannot be sustained by just a bunch of gangsters. Behind them are big and powerful conglomerates.
The people from the Giant Monastery used Caroline's channel to get the antiques with the "Hanged Man" on the ship, attracting the young master Alex to come.
If something really happened, once traced, Caroline and the forces behind her would definitely be implicated.
The Roberts family occupies one of the five "big councilor" seats and has great power. There will definitely be great turmoil by then, and it is even possible that the political situation in Lu Ying will change drastically.
No wonder they called for temporary reinforcements. It seemed that Caroline also realized that the seriousness of the matter was far beyond her expectation.
After all, outsiders can tell that Alex must be surrounded by high-level professional bodyguards and a sixth-level leading professor.
If the enemy still dares to take action, he must be more powerful.
At this time, Caroline's tone was already very serious: "I know that you are very powerful. Since those people dare to take action, they must not be weak. Once they take action, everyone on this ship may be implicated. Helping me is also helping.
Your Excellency yourself."
Military Intelligence, God's Believers, Royal Academy, and now a mysterious woman who is a gangster appears.
This is already the fourth wave of powerful forces.
Rington really deserves to be the imperial capital. There are so many big fish hidden on just one cruise ship.
Su Lunxin sighed with emotion.
He didn't even wonder who the power behind this woman was, and there was a high probability that she was hiding something behind her words.
But it doesn't matter.
The enemy of my enemy is also half a friend.
Help is definitely needed.
If you can.
However, Su Lun did not want to express his attitude casually to a strange woman whom he had only known for half an hour.
He just kept listening and said nothing.
Seeing that the man in front of her didn't respond, Caroline's expression showed a hint of solemnity.
But she also felt a little incredible.
Even after listening to his own words, this man's face did not show any panic from beginning to end, but was extremely calm?
This kind of confidence is absolutely extraordinary.
Caroline can gain a foothold in the underground black market in Linton, so she naturally has her own way of identifying people.
She had already determined in her heart that she was a very strong professional in front of her.
Now there was no choice. She took a slight breath and made another big promise, saying: "If you are willing to go all out, just protect the young master from death as much as possible. Afterwards, I will satisfy you with whatever I can provide."
Conditions. Even if I can't do it, the big boss behind me will definitely be able to do it."
The weight of these words is not light, and there is an extraordinary sense of confidence.
Su Lun listened and finally said: "Okay."
She didn't want to express her position, but she promised too much.
After hearing this, Caroline's expression suddenly relaxed, as if she finally had some confidence.
Su Lun asked again: "Can you tell me what other information you have? For example, what do you think the origins of those people who have evil intentions are?"
Caroline looked serious and responded: "Most likely he is a fanatical believer of a new religion recently. I have been investigating these days."
Her information is similar to Su Lun's.
But some are more detailed. For example, the bishop's real identity is actually a barrister.
After chatting for a while, Su Lun suddenly wondered how this woman came to him from so many people in the banquet hall, and asked directly: "How did you notice me?"
Caroline smiled slightly: "Because you are a very charming gentleman."
She said directly: "I originally thought you were 'Kit the Phantom Thief'. After all, you are very strong and handsome. I just came here to test you just now because I wanted to cooperate with you. But obviously, I guessed wrong."
After listening to this, Su Lun realized that he was being targeted because he was too handsome?
He asked curiously: "How can you tell that I am not the one again?"
Caroline smiled charmingly, "Sir, you are one of the few true gentlemen I have ever met. A romantic gentleman like Phantom Thief Kit cannot be compared with you."
Su Lun smiled: "Haha"
The auction is still going on, and the group of wealthy people in the banquet hall are still enthusiastically taking pictures of the antiques, completely unaware that a crisis has quietly arrived.
Su Lun was not in a hurry and told Kit about the current situation, then returned to sit on the sofa.
At this moment, the tarot card was finally taken out of the safe.
It is contained in a crystal box with a pattern of a one-eyed hanging giant drawn on the card.
Su Lun's left eye flashed and he immediately identified it.
[A mysterious tarot card]
Detailed explanation: [The Hanged Man Card], one of the 'Twenty-Two Secret Tarot Cards' in the Age of Dawn; this card has super mysterious properties and can be used in various advanced divination techniques; holding this card,
Can obtain a certain degree of exemption from divination spells; integrate a set of twenty-two cards, and there will be a super set effect bonus; the card contains some encrypted contents that cannot be deciphered for the time being; there are some parasites banned by mysterious means on the card
larva;
"It's really authentic."
When Su Lun saw the identified information, he immediately became interested.
But in fact, the value of this kind of card is different.
For a tarot magician, it is indeed a fatal attraction.
Even though it has been circulated for countless years, it still has super mysterious properties and is an excellent divination tool.
But after all, it has been circulating for so many years and may have passed through the hands of many people. The information may have been deciphered long ago, and there is a high probability that it is an empty card.
But after all, it was definitely authentic. Su Lun thought that the "hidden secret" might be related to the Eye of Omniscient. Without seeing the deciphered content, it was difficult to judge its value.
As for the identified "parasite", it must be the method used by the believers of the outer gods to deceive Young Master Alex.
If there is no accident, this card will definitely fall into the hands of that young man.
But there are bound to be surprises.
Because at this time, Kit also sent a message that he was going to take action.
