"You really believed it. I can only say that you are cutely stupid, Miss Monica." Roy smiled at the female assassin and pulled out the arrow directly after cutting off the arrowhead. "Let's continue investigating first and send a few more people to follow this guy."
"Hiss...are you crazy?" Monique first took a breath and then growled.
"I'm not crazy. I just know that if I let this kind of person move freely, it will definitely be bad. If I have to hold him accountable later, it will be fatal. It's better to send someone to follow him in advance." Then Roy thought of an idea: "How about letting our little platinum follow him?"
"(Victoria swears) You really don't think the matter is too big!"
......Linguang Mansion......
"Sister Zofia, why... are you here?" Maria had just opened the door of her house when she saw a mature woman with a long sword on her waist, who looked somewhat like the girl, sitting upright on the sofa.
"I'm afraid that if I don't come over, you'll be kidnapped by some guys with ulterior motives." Zofia stood up unhappily and rubbed the girl's head hard with her right hand. "I heard Martin and the others tell me that a very strange person came to the bar, right?"
"Well, I'll tell you later."
021. Workers have no choice
"You mean that guy is Margaret's colleague, and these two letters were written by Margaret's child?" Sofia asked again, looking at the familiar handwriting on the letter paper.
Maria nodded her head and said, "Well, at least that's what Mr. Drijer said. Although he looks a bit fierce, he seems to be a good person unexpectedly. Sister Zofia, please look at the handwriting. I think it was really written by my sister."
"Maria, did you want to call me aunt again? I've told you so many times, call me sister. I'm only five years older than you!" Sofia said as she knocked the girl on the head in annoyance. It has to be said that older women usually care a lot about their age and seniority.
Of course, this also includes a certain old lynx who was in a meeting on Rhodes Island. Kal'tsit coughed twice for no reason - "Let's put the blame on that bastard Linley." The doctor thought so and continued the next combat meeting - after all, Longmen and Rhodes Island still have subsequent cooperation projects to do.
This also made a bounty hunter who was writing an action report shudder for no reason: "Why do I feel like I'm being targeted by some prehistoric monster again... Never mind, never mind, I'll just continue writing about what I saw today. I have to mail it to Amiya later."
Not at the same place but at the same time, another worker who had just finished her work received her next long-term mission, and the requirement she received was to monitor the person as long as he left the station. "But why is the accommodation location of this mission target also the Baiyinsong Hotel?"
A certain ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Bai Jin's heart, but then she lay down in her rocking chair. If possible, she would like to light a cigarette. About half a minute later, the two of them sighed at the same time:
"Hey, laborers, what a hard life~"
After Linley finished writing his own thoughts, he wrote three more letters to send to Longmen. “However, given how shrewd that guy from the No Helmet Alliance is, he will definitely find a chance to peek at my letters. But it doesn’t matter. I’ll just use it as a way to build momentum for Amiya and the others to come to Casimir.”
“You guys… please don’t let me down~” Linley thought as he turned off the lights and fell asleep.
...The dividing line for the second day...
As soon as someone left the hotel, he saw Bai Jin standing on the roadside, counting his fingers out of boredom. The corners of his mouth twitched immediately, "You guys from the Wu Zhou Alliance are really good at playing, you just put her in front of me like this?"
At the same time, Bai Jin also received a message from Roy: "Little Bai Jin, your target has left the hotel, remember to follow him closely~"
Coming out? Isn't that the only one? Wait... is he the target of the mission? Bai Jin's expression suddenly became complicated, while Lin Lei walked up to the girl with his hands behind his back: "Good morning, Miss Xinteleya... or should I call you Bai Jin?"
"You really know everything~" Xintelaiya said with a complicated expression, "It's up to you, but if possible, I still hope to use Xintelaiya to call me. Since you know my identity, you should also know what I am here for."
“Spying on me? But that doesn’t matter. I wonder if Miss Cintrea has had breakfast yet?” Linley held out one hand while the other hand was elegantly behind his back. “If not, would you be so kind as to accompany me for a meal?”
"That's fine, but I didn't have breakfast either." The girl said with a sweet smile, "But I also have some personal questions that I would like to ask Mr. Dredge."
After taking a look at the platinum arm armor, Linley said softly, “It has something to do with this.” As he spoke, he tapped the side of the arm armor gently. Then, a pleasant metallic sound came from the arm armor, and the arm armor named Oathkeeper actually fit the girl’s arm.
"Yeah." Bai Jin nodded while moving his arms, "Where are you going next?"
“Where are you going? I’m going to the post office to send some postcards to my friends and family.” Linley spoke in a very loud voice, and it was almost impossible for others to hear him. In a sense, Xinteleya, who was willing to take advantage of others, naturally took on the task of leading the way.
"You spoke so loudly just now. Aren't you afraid that your envelope will be read by someone? I mean, by those people behind me." Bai Jin's voice was very soft. It was obvious that she was also afraid that her words would be heard by other colleagues.
“How will they know if I don’t speak louder?” Linley walked quickly to Bai Jin’s side and stood shoulder to shoulder with her. “After all, I think those two Qing Jins should be very curious about my true identity. After all, the list of bounty hunters who registered for less than a month can only fool some fools.”
"Qing Jin? You also encountered Qing Jin?"
Now it was Bai Jin's turn to be surprised, but before the girl could say anything, Lin Lei grabbed her hand and said, "Don't be so hasty to ask. How about we talk about it when we get to the breakfast shop? And do you have any recommendations, Miss Xinteleya?"
"Right next to Jinyu Avenue, there is a breakfast shop that has been open for a long time... Unfortunately, I haven't had breakfast here for about four or five years~" Bai Jin dodged the other person's hand calmly, while the smile on his face remained unchanged.
“Yes, being an assassin usually requires doing things in secret.” Linley nodded in agreement. At this time, the door of the post office appeared in front of the two of them. “Wait for me here for a while.”
"Your will~" Bai Jin bowed slightly, and at the same time she called Roy's work phone:
"Dear little Bai Jin, it should be your working hours now, right? Do you still have time to call me?" Roy's frivolous voice came at the right time, and Bai Jin said expressionlessly: "He went to deliver letters to his relatives and friends. I just took this opportunity to inform you... Also, I heard him say that you know him?"
After a long silence, Roy replied, "Yes, it only took us one night to get to know each other. Friendly reminder... Xiao Baijin, even if you have any history or any other relationship with him, don't anger him... because you won't like the consequences."
'Casimir swears', did he feed Roy some kind of medicine that this guy would actually give me such serious advice?
......
"Monique, the cause of death of my cleanup team has been revealed. Do you want to take a look?" Roy asked Monique, who was sitting next to him. The smile on his face gradually faded. "You should be glad that he used my bow."
022. You are an overtime worker, and so am I (fourth update)
Linley stared at a plate of Casimir’s special dumplings and Casimir’s special sausages and fell into deep thought. Although it was also a good idea to experience the local specialties when on a business trip.
But why are these pan-fried dumplings filled with cheese and potatoes? After Linley tried to eat one, his pupils began to tremble, while Bai Jin, who was standing beside him, stabbed one with a fork:
"What's wrong? Isn't this taste normal?" Bai Jin said with a puzzled look on his face while holding a fork in his mouth. "If you don't think it tastes good, you can try dipping it in the sour cream next to it."
This was not a question of whether it tasted good or not, but the fact that the taste was too unique for Lin Lei. After all, this kind of sweet and sour food that contained carbohydrates was something he had never seen before. But after preparing himself mentally, he had to admit that the taste of this thing was surprisingly good.
Linley immediately ate the second and third ones: “It tastes good, but do you guys eat something so high in calories so early in the morning?”
"They don't eat it often, but those construction workers who are responsible for urban construction generally prefer high-calorie foods." Bai Jin supported his head and said softly, "Then, Mr. Drjie, can I ask the same question as before?"
"Just tell me."
Linley nodded and cut off another piece of sausage and stuffed it into his mouth. The rich spice flavor and the juicy texture that burst out with a light bite almost made a guy who was still working part-time in the cafeteria applaud. After the salty and fresh taste, the sweetness of the sausage itself came out. “This sausage can be brought into the cafeteria later. When the time comes, I will sell him a small piece for ten credit points!”
Wouldn't it be a good deal to make a lot of money by then, and then I could open a small shop in Rhode Island, and life would be better, wouldn't it?
"First, I want to confirm again, is it yours?" Platinum's slender white fingers gently stroked the arm armor, as if stroking the skin of a lover, "Can I know its name?"
“In a sense, yes. I am already the third generation user of it.” Linley chuckled and placed a piece of sausage on the girl’s plate. “As for the name of this arm armor… you can call it Oath Keeper.”
"The first user of this gauntlet almost killed Lord Shaxx with just three arrows." The man sat up straight, his eyes full of memories, "And the second one, in my opinion, was even stronger than the first. He defeated the Puppet King, the First Disciple of the Witness... and too many enemies who threatened us. To be honest, I still don't know why that guy entrusted this gauntlet to me."
Although he didn't know who Lord Shaxx was, nor did he know anything about powerful-sounding things like the Puppet King, Platinum still understood that the first two owners of this arm armor were probably heroes in their respective areas, so the third owner would naturally not be much worse than these two people.
“But you don’t have to think that I will take back this arm armor. At least I can feel it.” Linley swallowed another Casimir specialty dumpling. “It is currently quite satisfied with you.”
“Is that so? But I can feel that this arm armor is eager to hunt down more powerful beings, rather than those... targets who don’t even know of my existence.”
“Then let’s just look forward to it. There will always be such a day, right?” Linley said as he wiped his mouth. “Are you full? If you are, can you take me somewhere?”
"As long as it's in Cavalleriakin, I can take you there." Bai Jin then looked up curiously at the man who was ready to leave: "So where do you want to go?"
......Linguang Family Residence......
It must be said that when Lin Lei and Bai Jin arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he even thought they had come to the wrong place. There was no one to clean the courtyard, no one to guard the gate, and only a lonely big iron chain tied to the gate. But if someone wanted to come in, it would not take much effort.
The big tree in the courtyard has been withered for a long time, probably a few years ago, just like this family that is famous throughout Casimir. In a sense, "decline of fortune" is the best portrayal of the Linguang family.
“Hiss, this isn’t just a bad life, this is almost unbearable.” Linley even thought of the scene where the little girl named Maria was begging on the street with an enamel basin later. That was too hellish! Bai Jin was looking around the old courtyard with great concern. A group of people from a van rushed out and beat them up.
After all, the reason why the Linguang family has declined to its current state is not only because of the decrease in the number of family members, but the greater reason is the operation of the Chamber of Commerce. As the knife in the hand of the Chamber of Commerce, their Wuzhou Alliance has naturally done a lot of tricks to this prosperous and famous family.
“If there’s nothing wrong with my memory, there shouldn’t be any visitors these days.” A tall, blond Kuranta came out. The handsome man in a black windbreaker and metal wristbands looked at Linley and Bai Jin who were standing at the door.
“We just came here to see how the Linguang family is doing now.” Linley looked at the man who was even a little taller than him. If Maria was a source stone that had yet to be developed, and Linguang himself was a sharp sword, then the melancholy man in front of him was a sword that had already been sheathed.
His spirit, momentum and even physical strength can be said to be integrated into one. As long as he is willing, he can make anyone who underestimates him pay the price of death at any time.
"The Linguang family is no longer the Linguang family of the past, and Casimir is no longer the Casimir of the past." The man said softly, and then he put his hands in his coat pockets: "If you just want to stand here and admire it, then please feel free to enjoy it. I still have to go to work... so excuse me."
The man then walked towards his planned route, while Linley looked at Bai Jin, waiting for her introduction:
"Maenna Linguang can be said to be the current head of the Linguang family, but he has not accepted any title from the Knights Association so far, and he works in a building materials company." The girl felt a sense of sympathy when she said this:
"And that company seems to have a lot of overtime, which has caused the head of the Linguang family to rarely go home."
He sounds like a chosen worker, but is this guy really just like that? "What about you? Is overtime in the Wuzhou League serious?"
"Do you think my condition is not serious?"
023. This rice is no longer fragrant! (Fifth update!)
But when Maenna was less than 500 meters away from his unit, a black-skinned Sarkaz wearing a cloak and carrying two swords stopped him, "Good morning, Maenna."
"I remember that you have been hanging around on the border between Casimir and Ursus recently. Why are you back at this time, Tolan?" Kuranta did not slow down his pace because of the appearance of an acquaintance. On the contrary, his pace even increased a lot.
"Or are you not afraid that the Wuzhou League will come to cause trouble for you now?"
"At least they can't do anything to me in broad daylight." The swordsman named Tolan shrugged and said very easily: "Hey, don't leave in a hurry, are you so afraid of being late?"
"Being late will result in deduction of points, which will affect your performance and attendance."
Ma Enna glanced at the other person coldly, as if being on time for work was the most important thing in the world. "Then I also brought you some news about Margaret this time. Do you want to hear it?"
"Thirty seconds."
"Hey, you guy." Tolan could only sigh and began to talk about what he saw and heard in the border area and the information he collected: "It seems that Lin Guang is now working in a pharmaceutical company. In addition, she has a colleague named De Ruijie who is said to have defeated the Wendigo in Ursus."
"Ridiculous. You and I both know that if Ursus still has the group of fully armed heavy-armored Wendigos and war wizards, even the Silver Spear Pegasus can't stop them." Maenna scratched his ears, "So is there anything else?"
"Yes, there is. The guy named Dredger just registered as a bounty hunter half a month ago. I also learned from my friend in the black market that the guy named Dredger has now come to the Great Knight Territory." Then Tolan performed a noble salute in a rather exaggerated manner:
"That's all. See you again, Mauna. I'll come back to see you when the time is right."
"Now that you have found your own way, don't come back... Margaret, at least Casimir now is not worth anything you pay for it." The ranger once known as the 'Lightless Knight' muttered to himself and walked towards the company again.
At the same time, Monica, who was wearing a bandage, frowned as she looked at the autopsy report: "A toxin that cannot be analyzed was found in all the bodies?"
"At least it's a toxin that we can't analyze. If we send the blood samples to the labs in Columbia, we might be able to get accurate results." Roy corrected, "Although there was toxin in the body of another person, the cause of his death was a bullet in the forehead."
"So that Dredger even carried a gun?"
"Well, I can't tell his race, but at least I can be sure that guy is neither a Sakota nor a Kuranta." The man walked up to Monique and asked with a smile: "Do you feel like you have survived a disaster now?"
"One kilometer. For us, it's not a big deal to shoot a target one kilometer away." Monique glanced at him unhappily. "But, Roy, did you see that? That guy barely aimed, yet he ignored the wind direction and wind speed and accurately hit my shoulder with one arrow."
"Even those gods and celestial beings can't do this, right?"
"Maybe." Roy shrugged. "But what I know is that the three above can probably do it." He pointed his finger silently. "I can't say anything about the others, but at least the Black Iron Master who has existed from ancient times to the present day can definitely do it."
"But there is only one person in this world..."
The two of them fell into silence for a long time in the office, and Monique was the first to speak: "Should we continue our surveillance? Another spy has sent news... The guy named Deruijie sent three letters to Longmen in Yan Country, and one to a place called Rhodes Island."
"Rhodes Island? What kind of place is that?" Roy looked at Monique in confusion, and Filin was also bewildered:
"I don't know. At least I never heard of this name when I was serving in Victoria."
"Then we have to continue investigating. As for the surveillance, let's leave it to Little Platinum. At least I think she's enjoying it."
......Baiyinsong Restaurant......
Unlike the breakfast shop that was very Casimir-style, the cost of the restaurant where Lin Lei and Platinum dined could be said to be the highest in the entire Casimir. As for the taste... Lin Lei said that it could not fill his rather humble stomach, but Platinum, who was sitting opposite him, enjoyed the meal very much.
In fact, in the past few years working in the Wuzhou League, Xinteleiya has saved a lot of money, but she has no time to go shopping to buy some cosmetics she likes, and she dare not even think about spending a lot of money in some expensive restaurants. Now that she has the opportunity to eat in this restaurant, she must eat a lot.
"how is the taste?"
"It's better than I ever imagined~" the girl said with praise after swallowing the steak, and then she seemed to remember something: "By the way, Mr. Drezer, can I ask how you got to know the Lord of Blue Gold?"
If possible, could you please say a few good words to yourself and give yourself one or two more holidays or something?
“Last night I had a fight with that black-haired Azure Gold Lord, and then the blue-haired one came to help but I shot an arrow at him.” Linley tilted his head and said, he was very sure that after he said this, the little Pegasus might not have such a good appetite.
"As for why I fought with them...do you want to know the reason?"
"Well... forget it." Bai Jin waved her hands quickly, and she cursed herself in her heart, 'Xintelaiya, Xintelaiya, why are you asking so many questions when there is nothing to ask! Do you think you will live long?'
Linley, on the other hand, held his chin up like white gold in the morning. “Eat it. Don’t worry, they won’t do anything to you… After all, they’re afraid that their other subordinates will be shot through by me.”
"Uh...if you keep talking like that, I might not be able to eat anything at all."
"Then I won't say anything. But I'll ask you one last question... This question will determine where I'm going this afternoon." The man's smile gradually faded, and Bai Jin subconsciously sat up straight, like a child waiting for the teacher to call on him to answer a question.
"You said~"
"Ms. Xinteleya, tell me... from an ordinary person's perspective, how do you view those infected people, whether they are infected knights or those illegal infected people."
024. How dare you come here with the Wuzhou Alliance?
“Don’t panic. I’m definitely not the type of person who would kill you if you said something bad about the infected.” Linley smiled and tapped the table with his fingertips. “Don’t worry, just speak up. I’m curious about what the people of Casimir think of the infected and the infected knights hiding in the underground city.”
What you said makes me panic. If I tell this kind of thing, won't the Business Federation or something like that kill me? Bai Jin hesitated for a long time, but in the end, the descendant of the Pegasus of the Gods was forced to speak out his thoughts under the other party's tyranny:
"In fact, there is not much difference for me, but the Commercial Federation needs the economic benefits brought by the Infected Knights, Casimir needs those Infected to help expand the city, and we, the Helmetless Alliance... you know what I mean."
