"Sir, how should I call you?" Audrey suddenly asked.
Qi Xuansu replied at the last moment before leaving, "My surname is Li."
It's a coincidence that both the East and the West have the surname "Li", written in different ways but with very similar pronunciation.
Audrey also knew that within the Eastern Dao Sect, there was a huge Li family. The ancestors of this family founded and rebuilt the Dao Sect one after another. The current leader is one of the members of the three-member Eastern Holy Court Council. It is this family that controls
Daomen's external intelligence agency, this agency is filled with a large number of Li family members, and even the top leader of this agency is also named Li, so everything is correct and reasonable.
"Mr. Li." Audrey hesitated, "Goodbye."
Being able to meet again is actually a kind of luck. After all, Qi Xuansu just said that the two of them will meet again in the Southern Continent. What they fear is that they will never see each other again.
Qi Xuansu said nothing and slowly disappeared.
This is the fourth problem to be solved.
Because Qi Xuansu wanted to protect Strawney, he had to ensure the safety of the identity of "Daqi".
He had no choice but to use the identity "Hosea" again.
From Audrey's perspective, it gave her a special emotion of fear and hope.
The reason for fear is very simple. This is St. York, the pearl of the New World, where St. Francis Cathedral is located, but Easterners still infiltrated silently, and their influence is far greater than she imagined. As a Westerner, she is a
A Westerner who has not yet completely changed his thinking about us and the enemy, a Westerner who is deeply brainwashed by the theory of "Tao Disaster", and a Westerner who does not fully understand the unknown East, will naturally feel fear instinctively.
Hope, the reason is equally simple. Her purpose is to leave St. York. The more powerful Mr. Li is, the greater her hope of escaping from St. York.
Two completely opposite and even contradictory emotions are intertwined.
It made Audrey feel very uneasy.
Although what happened to her was very unusual, she was essentially a well-protected actor. In fact, she was inseparable from the gold cage studded with gems. Her fundamental idea was still from a
The cage was changed to another cage to escape from the owner who threatened her life, so she asked Qi Xuansu to give her shelter. If he really wanted to give her freedom, she would be at a loss.
The next day, Audrey prepared for the performance as usual and went on stage in the evening. The story of "The Witcher" continued. The witcher got help from his friends and together they resisted the devil in the witcher's castle.
After the performance ended, Audrey returned to her apartment, where
An old man is sitting.
Sofia probably felt that everything was under control and gave Audrey a certain amount of freedom. She did not closely monitor her residence, so the apartment became a suitable place for conversation, which is what Easterners call under the lamp.
black.
If Dutch is a Western gentleman in the traditional sense, well-dressed and polite, then this old man is a "lower person" who has no connection with the gentleman class. He has experienced vicissitudes of life, is full of dust, and seems to be an adventurer.
"Hello, Miss Al, I am Hosea Matthews." The old man took the initiative to introduce himself, "I am meeting you on Mr. Li's order."
Audrey looked at the old man in front of her, and then took the initiative to extend her hand, "Hello, Mr. Matthews, you can call me Audrey."
Hosea reached out and shook Audrey's hand, "You can call me Hosea."
Audrey suddenly asked, "Hosea, I would like to ask, is the big explosion in Lower City related to you?"
"Why do you ask that?" Qi Xuansu, who had changed his identity, asked back.
Audrey smiled and said, "Women's intuition."
Qi Xuansu did not deny, "Audrey, your intuition is very accurate."
Although Audrey had already guessed, she was still shocked after receiving a clear answer. She vaguely heard some rumors that four senior members of the Tory Party were attacked by Xidaomen in Lower Town, which triggered a huge controversy.
Explosion, that’s why I asked this question, but I didn’t expect it to be true.
Those were four senior council members, and Leopold was the minority leader on the city council. Not only did they fail to do anything to Mr. Matthews, they didn't even touch the corners of Mr. Matthews' clothes.
The four senior congressmen were in a very embarrassed state.
Such strong strength naturally greatly increased Audrey's confidence.
And judging from the tone of "Mr. Li", this Mr. Matthews should be Mr. Li's subordinate.
Just one subordinate is so powerful, so what is the identity of Mr. Li himself? Could it be that the master of Beichen Hall is here in person?
Audrey didn't know much about the secrets of the Eastern World, but since she wanted to escape to the Eastern World, she still did some research on the Eastern World and Taoism. She knew that the leader of the Li family was one of the members of the three-person council.
, and the next generation leader of the Li family is expected to become the new pope of the Eastern Holy Court.
No matter from which aspect you look at it, this is an undisputed big man.
This gave Audrey some inner awe. The awe of the powerful, the awe of the weak for the strong.
Even Sophia, who controls her, is not worth mentioning in front of such a "future pope".
Audrey, who was originally extremely uneasy because of her uncertain future and unclear future, has calmed down a bit. This means that even if she goes to the Eastern World, she can still develop well - provided that she has a relationship with this real person in the Eastern World.
Big people have good relationships.
For Audrey, the unknown and being helpless are the most terrifying things. If you are no longer unknown, know what you should do, and are no longer confused, then the fear will disappear.
This is one of the reasons why she dared to escape from Sofia.
Thinking of this, Audrey made some determination.
Qi Xuansu interrupted Audrey's trance and said, "Audrey, let's talk about stealing the secret key of the 'Steam Power Core' from Sophia."
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Qi Xuansu to have such an idea. He was unfamiliar with the place and had no way of starting on their territory.
But with Audrey's help, it was different. Audrey's idea of escape was not a temporary idea, but a lot of preparations. She understood one thing very early on, the only one who could save her was the Eastern World, and she wanted to seek refuge.
In the Eastern world, she must have enough chips, so she worked hard to obtain the list of Tawanting's traitors. The hardships involved cannot be summed up by the word "unintentional".
Naturally, she had seriously considered how to get rid of Sophia's control, and even had a preliminary plan, but she lacked the necessary external help, or opportunity.
It can be said that she has been waiting hard for the opportunity to appear.
Finally, let her wait until Qi Xuansu.
Audrey will never give up this only opportunity.
"The room where the secret key is stored is located underground in the Speaker's residence." Audrey said, "It is heavily guarded."
Qi Xuansu frowned and asked, "Audrey, it's not that I don't trust you, I'm just curious, how do you know? As a controlled 'prisoner', why do you know where the key to the 'shackles' is?"
place?"
Audrey seemed to have expected that Qi Xuansu would ask this question, and sighed, "Because... I am not only a 'prisoner', I am also Sophia's... lover."
Qi Xuansu was slightly startled.
Didn't think about it
It seems that the female speaker has a wide range of "taste", including both meat and vegetables.
This makes sense. It is difficult to guard against house thieves. As Sophia's pillow, Audrey naturally knows many things that she should not know.
For Sophia, this is undoubtedly a mistake and also a kind of conceitedness. Maybe she thinks that Audrey can't get rid of control even if she knows the truth. Maybe Audrey's long-term well-behaved performance has dispelled Sophia's vigilance. In short, Sophia
A little careless.
This also illustrates one thing, it is best not to mix personal feelings into official affairs, especially when the two parties are not allies.
In this way, things will be simpler. Qi Xuansu can sneak into Sophia's mansion and steal or destroy the secret key.
Qi Xuansu asked, "Isn't Sophia's mansion in the upper city?"
Audrey shook her head and said, "No, Shangcheng District is the territory of Steam Gospel, just like Kunlun. There is only Kunlun for Taoist priests. Taoist priests will invite guests to Kunlun, but Kunlun does not belong to officials. Therefore, the city council is in Zhongcheng District, Sophia's house.
The residence is also in Zhongcheng District.”
The two of them normally communicated in Runeese, but the word "Kunlun" was pronounced in the authentic Mandarin of the Central Plains.
Audrey took out a map of Midtown and pointed to a location only two streets away from St. Francis Cathedral. "Sofia lives here. Her schedule is relatively regular. During the day, she will leave home and go to
City Council, she has arranged many 'steam law enforcement officers' at home, but I don't think it is a problem for you."
Qi Xuansu did not deny that "it is indeed not a problem."
Audrey continued, "Every Friday night, Sophia would go to see her lover - she never met her lover at her own home, preferring to go to the resort island where they would spend the whole weekend.
As for the identity of the lover, it is not fixed and depends on Sophia's mood and preferences. After all, she is already the speaker and has enough independent power. Moreover, in recent years, the cardinal has grown tired of her and no longer calls her to listen.
Oracle."
Qi Xuansu asked again, "Is there anything else that needs attention?"
Audrey said, "Sophia is one of the bosses behind Renekton Detective Agency. She can mobilize the power of the detective agency, and the detective agency will also be responsible for the defense of her mansion. Various alarms are set up inside. If you break into the basement directly,
, may trigger an alarm. I believe you can easily deal with these detectives, but the detective's defense system is connected with the overall defense system of Saint York. When the time comes, not only will the Steam Elite Team be dispatched, but there will even be Templar Knights.
