The construction official of the naval base, Viscount Venisk, has been troubled by this romantic place in the old street. The design plan has been overturned several times. In fact, the existence of such a romantic place in Bailu Town has already made the Ministry of Navy
I was very surprised. After all, the leaders of the Navy are not idiots. They know very well how much it helps to restore morale and combat effectiveness by having such a place where soldiers who have been at sea for a long time on battleships can vent. This is also
The main reason why the naval squadron dispatched the Marine Corps to control Lao Cai.
This is where Viscount Venisk has a headache. Whether to bring this romantic land into the jurisdiction of the base or divide this area outside the base. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Including it within the base will make it easier to administer.
, but the reputation is not good, and if it spreads, it will easily be attacked by opponents in the royal court.
But being outside the base will attract ghosts and monsters. For those who are gangsters, this land of romance is like a fat steak. It can easily become a place for harboring filth and attracting criticism, posing a life-threatening danger to naval officers who go out of the base to have fun.
, there is even a precedent of enemy spies setting up traps to lure naval officers and soldiers into it, thereby coercing them into betraying fleet intelligence.
Not to mention anything else, it is the Nieru Naval Base, the only military port in the kingdom. Every year, there are many cases of naval soldiers quarreling with others in those secret doors and causing fatal cases. Even though the Navy Ministry has organized several anti-gang operations, it will not be long before
It is still resurrected. At the same time, it was protested by local civilian officials, who believed that the Navy Department's self-initiated anti-gang operation had a very bad impact on local public security and order.
The headache is Viscount Venisque's problem, at least this time the old street is still singing and dancing. Claude followed the dark and deserted alley to the back of the old street, in an old double-story single-row stone and wood structure building
He stopped walking below, hiding his figure in the darkness.
This old building is where naval officer Lieutenant Nouit rented a hiding place for his little wild cat Miss Miniles. Even standing below, you can still hear the thunderous purring coming from the master bedroom on the second floor.
It seemed that the bottle of spiked whiskey had put Lieutenant Nouit and his little wildcat into a deep sleep.
First with the magic hand, and then with precise control, the door lock and the bars inside were opened silently. Claude ducked into the room and closed the door again.
After using the Eye of Exploration, although he cannot have dark vision, the general outline of the objects in the room can still be distinguished clearly. Claude quietly went up to the second floor. The door of the master bedroom was unlocked. As soon as he opened it,
I smelled a strong smell of alcohol in the room.
Two naked bodies were tangled together on the wooden bed, sleeping soundly. There was a table in front of the bed, with several plates of leftover dishes on it. The whiskey bottle was poured on the table and had been drunk.
There was still a little bit of the half bottle of kalam wine left. Clothes were thrown in a mess on the floor. In addition to the smell of wine, the room was also filled with a strong aura of harmony between men and women.
Claude took out the bottle of whiskey he had brought, opened the cap, poured the wine in the bottle into the empty bottle on the table, and then put the empty bottle on the table. The bottle was filled with
He filled up the empty wine bottle and stuffed it back into his backpack, then picked up Lieutenant Nuit's officer uniform one by one from the ground, quietly went downstairs, and began to change.
If Lieutenant Nouit was not similar in stature to Claude, then Claude would definitely not have an idea for him. Although Lieutenant Nouit was slightly stronger than Claude, his naval officer uniform wore
It still fits Claude very well, as if it was custom-made.
Soon, a heroic naval lieutenant appeared on the old street and hurriedly walked towards the intersection. Several street girls who had not yet found a customer saw their eyes lit up when they saw the naval lieutenant, and they were about to step forward to entice them.
But they saw the navy lieutenant raising the black briefcase in his hand, indicating that he was on official business, and quickly passed by them.
Several Marine soldiers on duty at the street entrance were stopping a few pleasure seekers wearing burqas who wanted to enter the romantic place of Old Street, asking them to register their names and prove their identities. The few who refused were chatting with the soldiers.
, meaning that this place used to be a place they often came to, but now it is occupied by the navy and they are not allowed to enter. It is too unreasonable...
At this time, a few marines on guard saw a naval lieutenant coming out of the old street. They ignored their business and just gave a casual salute and went out. They found a taxi not far away and got on.
The carriage quickly turned around and left.
Finally, the few merry-goers from the town collected some drink money and gave it to the soldiers on duty, and then they were allowed to enter the old street. After they walked away muttering and complaining, the soldiers on duty remembered that they had gone out.
The naval officer chatted a few words casually and found that no one knew him.
But they didn't care. There were more than 2,000 naval squadrons stationed here, and it was impossible for them to know all the officers. It was just strange that no one had heard of such a beautiful young lieutenant with two mustaches. Finally,
My guess is that he was recently transferred. Since he was carrying a briefcase out so late at night, he must have been sent out to run errands by those veteran officers.
"Fox Manor." Claude said to the coachman, then got into the carriage and closed the door.
The carriage drove eastward on the quiet and empty streets. After about twenty minutes, with the carriage driver's shout, the speed gradually slowed down and stopped slowly.
"Sir, Fox Manor has arrived."
Claude opened the door and got out of the carriage. In front of him was the arched gate with fancy craftsmanship cast iron railings.
"Wait for me here. It may take ten minutes or half an hour. Can I go back and give you a riaso?" Claude said to the coachman.
"Of course, sir, I will wait here." The coachman was overjoyed. Normally, the charge for one trip like this is only two or three sunars, and two trips is only about five sunars. Now I only have to wait for a while.
Of course he would be happy to earn twice as much money. Besides, this was a naval officer, and the place he came to was Sir Fox's manor, so he didn't have to worry about being deceived.
Claude rang the doorbell cord hanging by the door. After a while, a servant came to the door wearing a single coat and cursing. When he saw a naval officer standing outside, he immediately pretended to be respectful and serious.
Expression: "What do you do for a living?"
Claude stared at him with a straight face, until he turned his eyes to the ground with a guilty conscience, and then said in a dumb voice: "I am Lieutenant Abraham of the naval base. I was ordered by Viscount Venisque to lead Sir Fox.
There is an urgent document, please inform me."
"This, this... the master has fallen asleep..." But seeing Claude staring at him expressionlessly, he thought about it and gritted his teeth: "I'll inform the housekeeper, you, you are waiting outside the door.
one time."
The servant turned around and hurried to the main building. After a while, the servant carried an oil lamp with a glass cover and led a tall, thin old man with stern eyebrows and triangular eyes to the front door.
"What urgent document? Bring it over and let me take a look." The old man said impatiently, waving to Claude through the cast iron gate.
"Presumptuous! Who are you! How dare you peep into military secrets? Do you want to be punished by military law?" Claude shouted angrily, which frightened the old man and staggered him, and he almost fell over.
"You!" The old man wanted to curse loudly, but after looking at the officer's uniform on Claude's body, he still held back his breath: "I'm sorry, I am Sir Fox's butler Wolf, and Sir Fox asked me to get the official document...
…”
Clody shook his head and said seriously: "No, this urgent document has just been sent to the naval base. Viscount Venisque asked me to come immediately and hand it over to Sir Fox in person, and get his reply immediately. Please."
Inform Sir Fox, I hope he can hurry up, because I have to rush back to the base to recover!"
Although I don’t know what Viscount Venisk from the naval base means by sending an urgent document so late, but seeing the serious expression of the navy lieutenant in front of me, the old housekeeper did not dare to be careless. If any emergency was really delayed, then Fox
Jazz will definitely put the blame on him, and then it will be his turn to be unlucky.
"Then you come in first, Bid, and open the door." The old man made up his mind: "Mr. Lieutenant, please follow me. I will inform the Sir. You wait below."
Claude nodded: "My name is Abraham. By the way, please get something warm for the gentleman outside. I want to take his carriage back to the naval base."
"Okay, Bid, you go to the kitchen and get some food and drink for the gentleman outside."
The servant named Bid went to the kitchen unhappily. On the contrary, the coachman outside was very grateful to Claude and thanked him repeatedly.
Claude followed the old butler Wolf, who was carrying an oil lamp, to the hall of the main building. The old man placed the oil lamp on a coffee table, took out a fire and lit several candles on the silver candlesticks. The dark hall began to light up, revealing
Magnificent decoration.
"Please wait here for a while, Lieutenant Abraham. I will inform the knight and ask him to get up." The old butler said politely.
Claude stood at attention, showing his military demeanor: "Excuse me, Mr. Wolfe."
The old butler went upstairs with the oil lamp. Claude stood at attention for about ten minutes. Finally, there was a light shaking on the stairs. The old butler came down the stairs and stopped there halfway:
"Please follow me, Lieutenant Abraham. The Lord will meet you in the study."
"Thank you." Claude strode up the stairs, following the old butler.
After going up to the second floor, the old butler walked to the end on the left. A wall-mounted candle lamp was already lit on the wall at the end of the corridor. Claude saw a yawning maid standing next to the purple-black door with exquisite carvings.
"Serna, where is Sir?" the old butler asked the maid standing at the door in a low voice.
"The master is already inside. He asked you to take this officer in directly." Seeing Claude, the maid's eyes lit up, she immediately became energetic, and even gave Claude a wink.
I have to say that Claude is really handsome and handsome in this naval officer's uniform, which attracts women's attention.
"Please come in, Lieutenant Abraham." The old butler opened the door to the exquisite study.
"Thank you very much." Claude thanked the old butler first, then nodded to the maid standing by the door, and then entered the study. What he didn't expect was that the old butler followed him into the study.
.
Two silver candlesticks have been lit in the study. The eight white beeswax candles not only emit bright light, but also exude a faint honey fragrance. Smelling it makes people feel very happy and peaceful.
Sir Fox was sitting in the large armchair behind the desk, wearing a nightgown. He was very curious about how Viscount Venisker, the naval base construction official who was not on the same page as him, would send someone to deliver an urgent document in the middle of the night.
I came here and asked myself to respond immediately. What on earth is going on?
In fact, many people in the upper class of White Deer City know in their hearts that Sir Fox was very unhappy with Viscount Venisque over the construction of the naval base. First, the land acquisition of the real estate development company invested by him and the former town mayor Robert Baron was forced by the naval base.
Sexual expropriation was carried out, and compensation was paid to the original homeowners whose land was expropriated. This matter was about to go to court, and it was not until Mayor Robert was arrested that it came to an end. In total, Sir Fox lost nearly a hundred gold crowns.
The second thing is that everyone knows very well that the anonymous letter that was handed over to Controller Felidos about the rich transactions in the overall community acquisition plan reached by the Normandy Real Estate Development Company and the Naval Base was instigated by Sir Fox behind the scenes.
, otherwise no one would be able to obtain the fair documents of the slum land expropriation transaction into the anonymous letter as evidence.
The third thing is that Sir Fox intended to take a share of the construction project of the naval base, but was rejected by Viscount Venisque in public. It was at the first banquet held by Steward Felidos after he took office, which embarrassed Sir Fox.
, I almost couldn’t get off the stage...
Watching the naval lieutenant who delivered the letter enter the study, followed by the butler Wolf and closing the door, Sir Fox pretended to be dignified and cold and asked: "Where are the documents? What urgent matter made me get up in the middle of the night? I hope
