"Although the Nighthawks only manage extraordinary events, if no clues are found and gun smuggling is involved, they will definitely choose to cooperate with the military in the investigation or even challenge the military. The three major churches have always had a strong desire to join the military.
If the military is caught by them, in order to get rid of suspicion, those smugglers with strong backgrounds may not get into trouble, but vendors like us will definitely be eliminated."
Ken, the bar owner, wiped the sweat from his head with a piece of fine velvet cloth. If things were true as he said, the possibility of him being sold by the military would be very high, and he might end up on the gallows!
"Are you a peddler?" Rawls pointed to the beer barrel leaning against the corner of the warehouse. As a time traveler, it was hard for him to imagine a guy with guns, bullets, and gunpowder in barrels saying that he was just a peddler.
"What am I like? The really powerful ones are all sold to the Southern Continent. The forces behind those people are either generals or nobles." The fine velvet cloth in Ken's hand was already soaked, but the sweat was still flowing down. "
No, I will write to Mustang and ask him to transport these things first."
Rawls knew about the Loen military's sale of weapons to the Southern Continent. Klein had participated in it when he was pretending to be Dwayne Dantès. Moreover, the main participants should be the Army, as the Navy's allocation has always been redundant.
For the Army, especially after the release of the Pulitzer this year, it is said that the Navy's allocation is five times that of the Army.
"Even if it's shipped away, are you sure the military won't sell you?"
"That's better than being caught doing it." Ken suddenly burst out and threw away the velvet cloth in his hand, "But this bar probably won't open in the future, and you don't have to pretend to be my nephew anymore."
After speaking, Ken sighed and continued:
"Perhaps I am too sensitive, but the arms market has indeed been depressed recently. I told you yesterday that it took me only three months to collect dozens of revolvers. This is because of my seniority. Those little
Guys hardly gain anything."
"Even if there is no such thing, I would like to advise you not to engage in this related business. I always feel that there are problems in it." Rawls frowned. Yesterday, because it was more urgent, he did not consider the problems in detail.
Now that I think about it, there are still big problems, especially those artillery pieces.
"What is the problem?"
"It's not clear yet, I just have a hunch." In fact, Rawls only had suspicions and no concrete evidence.
"No matter what, I will not buy any more guns or bullets recently, nor will I sell them. I will wait until Lord Mustang arrives." Ken breathed a sigh of relief and patted Rolls on the shoulder, "I guess Lord Mustang will.
Go directly to your place."
Rawls nodded, feeling a little bitter in his heart. Where is the Sequence 4 Alicia beside him? However, this can also effectively prove that he is indeed Nast's intelligence agent, and that he is working with "Viscount Fear" Bird.
Mustang has a close relationship.
At least it can be said that Rawls did not hide Alicia in this matter.
After talking to Ken for a few more words, Rawls walked out of the Anchor Bar. As soon as he stepped out of the door, a voice came to his ears.
"Go directly to your house." It was Alicia's voice.
Rawls did not make any move and returned home directly. It seems that Alicia followed him back last night. If he had not returned here and sneaked away, he would have died on the spot.
But can't you give me a ride? The Jowood area is still far away from the dock area!
Rawls opened the door and walked into his hut. Before he could turn around and close the door, a figure was outlined in front of him. The upper body was wearing a waist-cinching riding uniform, the lower body was wearing tight breeches made of fine cotton, and high boots.
Wearing a top hat and a pair of deerskin gloves.
Well, it’s another new piece of clothing, the price is at least 50 pounds!
Alicia couldn't read minds, so she naturally didn't know Rawls's inner thoughts. She glanced at the small rental house, frowned her slender eyebrows and said:
"That person just now is also Nast's?"
"Yes." Rawls turned around, closed the door, and sat directly on the bed. "I will transfer any information to him. He is also responsible for purchasing guns and bullets and providing them to His Excellency the Earl."
Alicia nodded. She had seen Rawls use a revolver and knew the power of guns. Even an ordinary person holding such a revolver could threaten most low-sequence extraordinary people, not to mention those
More powerful guns and artillery.
only……
"Your Majesty the Earl?"
"Our captain, the 'King of the Five Seas' Nast has the title of earl. More than a hundred years ago, Emperor Russell secretly conferred the earl's father, His Excellency Savini Solomon, as the earl of Bai Feng, plundering his opponents, and attacking Forever.
Ships of Sark, Loon, and Fenebaud."
"I see."
The Tamara family also has a title in the Tudor Dynasty, and it is also a dukedom. Although Tamara has lost Sequence 1, she is still an angel family and has Sequence 2 angels. (Note 1)
As for Russell's political methods, in the Fourth Age, especially the Tudor Dynasty, there was no need for secret canonization at all. Instead, they would be canonized openly. Anyone who let the Blood Emperor Tudor would personally go to teach Jacob and Amon who were fighting against each other.
Woolen cloth!
What Alicia is really interested in is Russell himself. According to his approach, without the strength of Sequence 1, it is impossible to achieve this. Moreover, the time when he became emperor and the "Uncertain Mist" made them look for the newly born
The time for "Black Emperor" is very close.
A true god is enough to make anyone respect him, not to mention that this may be the first true god since the Fifth Age.
"Do you know Russell?" Alicia wanted to know how much Rawls, who knew many secrets of the Fourth Age, knew about Russell.
"Of course, I think there is no one in the world who doesn't know about Emperor Russell." Rawls did not hesitate. "There are dozens of bookshelves related to him in the library. It can be said that in his era,
He is the only protagonist. Even the 'God of Steam and Machinery', one of the true gods, sent an oracle for him and changed his god's name."
In fact, I know more, such as his story with the witch, his story with the aristocratic lady, his story with a certain aristocratic mother and daughter, and even various unspeakable erotic novels bearing his name.
But if I tell him, my life may not be saved!
Alicia did not continue to ask. She did not like to argue with people, especially "lawyers".
"You have digested the magic potion. Do you have the recipe for the Sequence 7 'briber'?"
Rawls knew that Alicia did not believe what he said, so he sighed inwardly and nodded:
"Yes, but we don't have the materials yet. We have to wait until next Tuesday to get the materials. The two main materials are a Crying Baby flower and a strange-faced marijuana crystal..." After saying that, he looked at Alicia expectantly.
Looking at Rawls' expectant gaze, Alicia shook her head simply and said:
"Tamara will not collect these things, as they will arouse the resentment and hatred of the Tudor family. They all inherited the crazy bloodline of the Blood Emperor. However, you can try to choose 'Law Mage' when you are promoted to demigod. Related
The family has all the recipes and materials.”
If Rawls is the "arbitrator" path, the Tamara family can provide more help, and perhaps get the blessing of the "Uncertain Mist".
"I will think about it."
Rawls has considered changing paths a long time ago. The main reason is that there are too few extraordinary people in the "lawyer" path, especially high-sequence experts. The only one he knows is his nominal captain "King of the Five Seas"
"Nast is a Sequence 3 "Crazy Mage" who claims to be the "Chaos Mentor", but is actually the Major General and Deputy Director of MI9, Qonas Kilger, a Sequence 4 "Fallen Earl".
There is no "Duke of Entropy" in Sequence 2, but there is one in Sequence 1, but there is only one, and that is George III, the King of Angels.
You must know that after reaching high-sequence, even if there are recipes, it is difficult to assemble them. Most of them still exist in the form of extraordinary characteristics, and they are mainly eaten on the spot.
…
In the East District, in that familiar small tavern.
Hugh Dilcha, wearing a traditional knight's training uniform, sat at the bar. A glass of "half and half" was placed in front of her. It is the most popular alcoholic drink in the East End, made from ale and fortified wine, because
There are exactly two ingredients in similar proportions, so it’s nicknamed “half and half”.
But the wine in the glass didn't move at all, but this frightened the tavern owner John so much that he didn't even wipe the glass, but just stared at the glass of wine, for fear of stopping to drink it.
Next to Hugh was Williams, who was rarely sober and had a slender horse face. He had no money in his hand, and his boss John refused to keep accounts for him, so he could only look at the glass of "half and half" helplessly.
Keep swallowing saliva.
At the edge of the tavern, Forsi, who was wearing a felt hat and a mustache, had a cigarette in his mouth but did not light it. He had a glass of Ronzi in front of him and was looking excited with a few workers.
Play Texas.
"Miss Hugh, you can't drink, so give it to me! Have you forgotten who took care of you when you first arrived in the East End?" After another swallow, Williams' face was filled with a sinister look.
Smile, looking a little funny.
"Williams, it's been three days, can you say something else?"
Hugh looked impatient. She had been staying at the pub in the afternoons for the past few days. Three days ago, Williams had spent all his money and had no money to drink. So Hugh ordered a "half and half" to indulge in Williams.
From three o'clock until six o'clock, when will I leave and when will I give Williams the wine.
"You have to give me something to drink after all, couldn't you have done it earlier?"
"If Jeffrey comes today and you look drunk again, I'm afraid you will be scared by him and wet your pants." After living in the East District for several years, such vulgar words have long been forgotten.
"Hey, he hasn't been here for a long time, and he will definitely not come today!" Williams is now completely hooked by the breath of "Half and Half". As a believer of the "Lord of the Storm", he may not be very loyal to the Lord.
, but carpe diem is what he pursues to the end.
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar and frightening voice came from behind him, and a hand was put on his shoulder.
"Yeah?"
Hugh and Williams all turned their heads, and a familiar person was already standing behind them.
Williams' teeth chattered up and down, and his sinister, thin horse face twitched. He wanted to open his mouth to speak, but could not utter a complete sentence.
"you you……"
"Jeffrey, long time no see." Hugh sat on a high stool and bumped Williams with his shoulder.
"Well... long time no see." After being bumped into by Xio, Williams finally said a complete sentence.
Rawls did not answer, but looked at Williams coldly, and just when he was about to collapse from his chair, he opened his mouth and said:
"The task I entrusted to you is over." Then he took out a 5-pound note prepared in advance from his pocket and handed it to him.
After Williams took the banknotes tremblingly, Rawls glanced at Xio and turned to leave.
Xio sighed and said:
"That glass of wine is yours." Then he walked up to Forsi, who was still playing Texas, threw down a sole, and dragged her away.
"Oh, wait until I finish! I got two pairs!"
…
"I'm sorry, about Williams..." Xio still wanted to explain for Williams.
"I'm not interested in causing trouble for an ordinary person."
After the Black Skull Party and the Zimenger Party ended one after another, and the "savage" role ended, Rawls had no intention of continuing to employ Williams. However, after hearing Williams' words, he
The final reward of £10 was changed to £5.
Forsi, who was next to Xio, had already thrown away the cigarette in her mouth and stood quietly on the side. She was still thinking about the good deck of cards in her hand just now!
"You should have made a decision about what I said last time?"
Xio glanced at Forsi, who also returned from a fugue, with a solemn expression.
"Yes, I can join MI9, but my identity problem..."
Xio mentioned the issue of her identity, and Rawls realized that the matter was not as simple as he thought. Xio was able to join MI9 because he had enough merit and the masked man secretly helped him, but actually joining MI9 was
After George III died and the new emperor succeeded to the throne.
As long as George III was alive and had a leaky father involved in royal planning, it was impossible for Hugh to join MI9. Although she was promoted quickly, it was completely inconsistent with Rawls's expectations and there was no way to pass it on in the early stage.
The intelligence from MI9 will be difficult to help later on.
"Haha, I know your identity very well, but do you think that if you lose this identity, you can join MI9 if you want?"
"I..." Xio was speechless for a moment, but Forsi responded quickly. She tugged on Xio's sleeve:
"We believe Mr. List can resolve this matter."
Rawls narrowed his eyes slightly, paused for a moment, spread his hands and said:
"Even if I can solve the identity problem, outsiders like you must have made enough achievements and have enough strength if they want to join MI9."
PS: Note 1: The original book did not mention Tamara’s title, only the five nobles. Mr. Danmen was already a duke in the Solomon Dynasty. Even if Tudor went crazy, it is unlikely that he would reduce Mr. Men’s title.
