Chapter 165 Seed Knight and Raven (7000)

Salway Street, West End, London.

It had just rained, and Ronan was carrying an umbrella and walking on the narrow street. There were glass windows on both sides of the street, and there was only one commodity among them—suits!
This is a famous tailor-made suit street in London.

Ronan asked in a shop with "Huntsman" hanging on it. Custom suits can take a few days or a few weeks, and immediately dismissed the idea of ​​customizing a handmade suit.

Next door, there is also an old shop with a long history, with dark suits hanging in the window, and "Kingsman" written in English on the shop signboard.

Although he didn't listen specifically, Ronan's outstanding hearing ability could always capture some of Ilsa's voice when she was on the phone.

Of course, this has something to do with Ilsa not specifically avoiding him.

Ilsa mentioned the names of Kingsman Manor and Kingsman Clothing Store many times.

Ronan slowed down a little, as if he was looking at the suits in the window, but he saw a busy girl through the glass.

It was a Latino girl with a dark bun.

Ana Armas, who chose to stay in the UK and did not return to Billena Island.

Ronan saw that she was proficiently working for the old tailor and measuring data for customers, so he didn't stop any longer.

Going forward, there is still a suit shop in front.

When approaching the door of the store, the door of the store with the signboard of "Kilgul" opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man came out with a suit bag.

This is an Eastern European face!
Ronan recognized him, followed him a few steps, waited until the roadside where there were few people, gradually leveled with the middle-aged man, and whispered, "Igor Kozlov, I'm Ivanov!"

Igor turned his head immediately, but what he saw was a completely unfamiliar face.

Ronan smiled slightly: "Don't remember Ivanov?"

How could Igor forget that this person touched his home in Moscow a few months ago and took out euros, gold bars and pistols for him to choose.

He was forced to accept the gold bars and leaked the news about Chita City.

As a result, there was a big commotion in Chita City. It is said that someone used a large amount of explosives to open a hole halfway up the mountain.

Fortunately, no one knew that the news was coming from him.

Igor whispered: "Hello, Ivanov."

Ronan thought of the news that was leaked last time, and said, "Looking for a place to chat?"

Igor couldn't refuse, and said, "Yes, come here."

The two walked through an alley, came to the roadside parking lot, and got into Igor's car.

Ronan got on the co-pilot and asked, "Why did you come to London suddenly? I remember that your position is not low, so you don't need to go out to work, right?" He thought of a possibility: "You betrayed?"

"No!" Igor said seriously: "I am loyal to Russia, how could I betray!"

Ronan nodded and asked, "Why are you here?"

Igor wanted to find a reason to fool the past.

Ronan pointed to his heart: "Igor, your heartbeat is accelerating! Don't lie to me, we are old friends, don't you feel ashamed to lie to me?"

"Are you really Ivanov?" Igor remembered that Ivanov spoke extremely succinctly.

"Do you need me to tell you how many gold bars I gave you?" Ronan roughly understood why he had this question: "The identities are different."

Igor wakes up, disguises his identity, and has a different style of doing and speaking.

After pondering for a while, thinking that this person provided the information, he said, "The information you provided last time was the one where the KGB sent a group of children to the United States. The relevant information was found in the house you mentioned."

This is what Ronan wanted to ask. When he killed Church, he got a piece of information from the memory of one of his subordinates named Teddy. The KGB sent a group of children to the United States smuggled into the United States more than 20 years ago, and many were adopted by American families. Growing up, some of them grew into the backbone of society, like Teddy also entered the CIA work.

At that time, I wanted to use this news to cause some trouble for the CIA.

But have not seen any relevant news reports.

Ronan smiled: "Tell me, you should know that the CIA is my enemy."

As soon as the Chita bombing occurred, combined with the situation in Europe a few months ago, the Russian side had an assessment of the specific situation. Although no evidence was found, such a thing does not need evidence at all.

The number one suspect listed by multiple agencies is Ronan the Destroyer who bombed Paris and Rome.

But he was forced to accept the man's gold bars, and directly provided him with information about Chita, not daring to say a word to the outside world.

Igor did not hesitate for too long, and said: "At that time, more than 30 children were sent out, and some of them have been found through identity analysis and tracking. A few colleagues and I accepted this task and will soon go to the United States to activate them."

He explained a little: "I will use my identity as a businessman as a cover to come to the UK to make relevant itineraries and business resumes."

Ronan said: "This is not a good task. Those children grew up in the United States, how much do they agree with Russia? Maybe they will betray you as soon as they come into contact."

Igor said the beginning and continued: "According to the data, most of them were twelve or thirteen years old when they went there, and they must have memories of Russia and Moscow. Another point is the key to our willingness to take risks. The people who screened and trained them at the beginning People, not ordinary people."

Ronan asked: "Involves extraordinary power?"

Igor nodded: "Yes! That man's name is Olof, who was born as a Gypsy. According to the reactions of colleagues who have worked with him, Olof has an excellent ability to persuade and cultivate people's loyalty. Swallows and crows are thought instructors."

The KGB's Swallows and Crows, Ronan had heard, were similar to the Mossad's Cutlass squad.

Igor added: "Olov personally trained those children. According to the information, he implanted a special seed in the spiritual thinking of those children. As long as the seed is activated, these people may be killed. Really activated!"

Ronan thought of Jess's subordinates, many of whom had various talents, but were willing to work for her.

But Jess only has the first level, and after the second level, her persuasive power will be even stronger.

"Where is Olof?" Ronan remembered that Jess did not have a promotion method after the second level.

Igor said: "Dead, many people have confirmed that Olov died in the turmoil of the disintegration. At that time, we lost too many valuable talents and assets."

Ronan asked directly: "Have you mastered Olof's career system or promotion method?"

Igor shook his head: "As far as I know, no."

Ronan took out a gold bar from the badge space and threw it to him: "Check it out, it's a deposit."

Igor didn't know whether he should refuse, how to inquire about matters involving extraordinary factors?But once the gold bars are in your hands, hand them over?I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I will do my best."

Ronan continued to ask: "Can you receive the message I sent you last time?"

"Received, Richard O'Connor." Igor knew very well that he couldn't get rid of this person for the time being. Based on the analysis of the situation in Chita, Paris and Rome, this person was not only powerful, but also ruthless. He said quickly: "The staff According to information from the Intelligence Agency, Israel's Mossad has been looking for Richard O'Connor, but has never been found."

Ronan nodded slightly: "I know."

Igor justified a little: "I was going to London at the time, and it was inconvenient to mobilize people to investigate. I only found out about this."

Ronan said: "Continue to pay attention to and inquire about Richard O'Connor. Also, give me a way to contact you in the United States. Where are you going in the United States?"

After Igor reported a series of numbers, he said: "Stay in London for a while, talk about some business, and contact American businessmen. See if the time is right, and then go to Washington."

"Washington, this place is good, maybe we can meet in the United States." Ronan got rid of the dementors, and naturally thought of the Bald Eagle King, and simply said a spare mobile phone number: "When you arrive in Washington, send me a message."

Igor replied: "Okay, it may take a while."

Ronan said: "Don't worry." He opened the door and got out of the car: "Igor, goodbye."

Seeing the people walking away, Igor breathed a sigh of relief, started the car, left the parking lot, and returned to Chelsea.

Here, there is his nominal home.

There is also a "wife".

A beautiful Nordic blonde.

Of course it was distributed by the organization.

The couple put on their dresses and went to a dinner organized by the big Russian businessman Abramovich to show up in front of as many people as possible and get to know more businessmen.

Abramovich, who bought the Premier League club last year, has initially entered London's high society and has contacts with American businessmen.

As for Ivanov, Igor felt powerless when he thought of Chita.

Haven't seen it for a while.

Thinking that he is the enemy of the CIA, he subconsciously considered that going to the United States in the future might be a help?

…………

As the sun went down, a black car drove into Kingsman Manor.

Ilsa had just returned from the Shetland Islands, so she rushed here to return to her command.

The photos taken, the found scriptures and the reports written by himself were all handed over to Arthur.

Arthur glanced around and was very satisfied: "Very well, Ilsa, you did a good job."

Just like before, Arthur did not hide his admiration for Ilsa, took off his glasses, and looked at Ilsa: "You have successfully killed a hidden danger for the kingdom."

Ilsa said: "Such hidden dangers will still appear, especially in remote areas."

Arthur nodded: "With the further recovery of the magic power, many mice hidden in the darkness will jump out one after another. Ilsa Foster, you have passed the knight test, and the next road is a long way to go. I wish to become a knight!"

This is what Ilsa has been looking forward to: "I do!"

Arthur waved his hand: "Go get ready and arrive at the Knights Hall at eight o'clock."

"Yes." Ilsa left the hall and went to other rooms through the corridor.

Turning a corner, Teacher Galahad was waiting for her.

Galahad opened the door: "Come in."

Inside the room stood numerous pieces of medieval armor, including shields and swords.

"A long time ago, reserve knights needed to put on armor and participate in the promotion ceremony." Galahad proposed a black suitcase and handed it to Ilsa: "Since the rampant modern weapons, the innovation of the gentleman system, and the simplification of the ceremony, armor has long been used by us. abandon."

He waited until Ilsa opened the suitcase and said, "This is a suit specially made for you by the tailor, put it on."

Ilsa closed the suitcase, went to the adjacent dressing room, closed the door, changed into a suit, and walked back with her left hand in her trouser pocket.
"Teacher, there is something I don't quite understand." Ilsa asked directly: "The round table meeting should have originated from the Celts, right?"

However, Galahad said: "The Round Table Conference guards this land, this kingdom. This is a decision made by the sixth generation of Arthur and Merlin as early as the Middle Ages. You just need to remember that our allegiance is to the Kingdom of Great Britain."

Ilsa said: "This time on Danu Island, I saw the Druid system that also originated from the ancient Celts."

Galahad said seriously: "Unfortunately, they chose the wrong religion."

Ilsa stopped talking about this aspect and asked: "Teacher, can you tell me about the knight?"

Galahad flicked the matching steel sword on the armor: "Before the large-scale application of firearms, knights were not only a class, but also a manifestation of strength. The dissipation of magic power, the industrial revolution, and the widespread use of modern weapons changed the fate of knights! "

"Second-rank non-commissioned officers represented by Americans only focus on the use of guns, while Kingsman knights must also be proficient in riding, dancing, hunting, swimming, socializing, and etiquette."

Ilsa has experienced relevant training before and has already mastered it proficiently.

Galahad continued: "In the category of the second level, don't be superstitious about swords and melee combat. These are only the last resort for knights. Knights must believe in the power of modern weapons. This is the most effective way to kill the enemy. .”

"Behind us is a country, which is a huge war machine. The kingdom can provide us with all conventional weapons, magic and the power extended by magic power. It is essentially the use of energy. Modern firearms are also the use of energy. , as far as the current stage is concerned, the latter is no lower than the former, and perhaps there may be differences at levels I don't understand, but you are still far, far away from that step."

Like the strictest teacher, he told the students: "Just listen to the so-called knight's honor. Don't put down the most powerful weapon in your hand just because of the so-called honor, and rashly use the sword to fight people! That's not honor, that's it. It's stupid."

Ilsa replied solemnly: "I understand!"

She saw this truth clearly in Ronan.

The master and apprentice chatted about the recent situation in continental Europe, and soon someone came to inform that the promotion ceremony was about to begin.

Galahad took Ilsa to the underground of the manor, where there was the temple of the Knights of the Round Table.

"Don't be nervous, the promotion of the gentleman system has already been modernized and improved, and it's not that complicated." Seeing Ilsa's solemn expression, he said with a smile: "The promotion needs the most daily training, learning and actual combat. Your personal ability has already reached the second level. standard……"

Entering the Knights Hall, the old but tall Arthur was standing on the round stone platform.

Around, including Galahad, a total of six Knights of the Round Table appeared.

Four men and two women.

These people have taught Ilsa to use various heat weapons.

"Ilsa Foster, alternate member of the round table!" Arthur said loudly: "You will become a knight today!"

Ilsa stood solemnly with her hands down.

Arthur asked, "Gareth, is she skilled in combat with vehicles, ships, and aircraft?"

Gao Wen answered briefly: "Proficient!"

Arthur asked again: "Lancelot, can she skillfully use guns and hot weapons?"

Lancelot said: "Proficient!"

"Geraint, can she use bombs and missiles proficiently?"

"skilled!"

"Tristan, can she skillfully use cold weapons to fight?"

"skilled!"

"Gao Wen, can she be proficient in riding, dancing, socializing and etiquette?"

"skilled!"

"Galahad, she is skilled in secret agents!"

"skilled!"

Arthur drew out a knight's long sword, and slapped Ilsa's shoulder with the back of the sword!

The other six drew out their knight swords and slapped Ilsa's shoulders one by one starting from Lancelot!

From the height of the stone wall behind Arthur, light seeped out at this moment, and spots of light fell on Ilsa.

"You have been recognized by the sages!" Arthur said loudly.

Ilsa suddenly had a feeling that her body was full of vitality, her strength increased suddenly, her mind was bright, her spirit was high...

A lot of knowledge and skills I have learned flashed in my brain, and I had a deeper understanding in just a short moment!

Described in magnitude, from proficiency to proficiency by leaps and bounds!
That stone wall opened to both sides with a bang!

Inside shines a rare magic gem light!
The light illuminated the uneven stone ground, on which were inserted one after another knight's long swords!
Arthur said to Ilsa: "Go, go and draw out your knight's long sword."

Ilsa remembered the legend of King Arthur and the Sword in the Stone, and guessed that the end of the ceremony might come from this.

Legend has it that Galahad was the only Knight of the Round Table to hold the Holy Grail.

Ilsa glanced at the teacher, and quickly walked into the stone gate!

The area here is much larger than it looks from the outside, not smaller than the huge Kingsman Manor.

Looking forward, you can see one pair of sarcophagi after another!
The knights of the round table of all ages are buried here!

Ilsa understands that this is the real Knights Temple!
Did the harvest just now have anything to do with them?
…………

Another safe house for Ilsa in the North End of London.

Ronan took out the heavy weapon with empty ammunition, reloaded the RPG7, replaced the Vulcan cannon with a new ammunition box, and set the few C4 bombs as timing and remote control bombs.

The used AT4 recoilless gun was a single-use weapon, and the tube was thrown into the sea when leaving Danu Island.

Then check the ammunition. C4, grenades, rockets, ammunition boxes and various magazines consume a lot, especially C4 and Vulcan ammunition, which are very few in stock.

Gatling is so easy to use, it is easy to become addicted after using it once, and the ammo is consumed a bit fast.

Needless to say, C4 must be used for setting off fireworks, and whoever uses it will know.

On the contrary, the air-to-air Stinger missiles and 107 mortars have not been used during this time.

The latter is definitely not as convenient as RPGs and recoilless guns.

The former is mainly because they haven't played against air units.

Ronan bought the Stinger mainly for safety, and he didn't want to fight against heavy air units.

Not to mention heavy fighter jets and surface-to-air missiles, machine guns can't stand it.

Before returning to Los Angeles, it is necessary to go to Yuri to replenish the ammunition inventory.

Like the Vulcan cannon, it is inconvenient to replace the ammunition box, so buy a few more spares.

There are some heavy weapons that you can't use if you don't need them, but you have stocks in your hands, so you have confidence in your heart.

Ronan took out his dedicated mobile phone and sent a message to Yuri to make sure that the other party was in Morocco, selling arms to various messy organizations in Africa.

Just in time to pack up the arsenal and check that it's not early, Ronan washes up and rests.

Ronan received a message from Ilsa before that she was preparing to be promoted to a second-tier knight.

The second-tier knight of the gentleman system also focuses on the use of modern weapons.

Ronan thought of himself, the promotion to the second rank is only the last two.

To this day, Ronan has killed quite a few second ranks, from the earliest perfume master Grenouille and two American mercenaries, to the most recent druid on Danu Island.

Although most of them use methods such as assassination, poisoning, blasting, and sneak attacks, Ronan will not underestimate himself. Even if he has not been promoted to the second level, his actual combat ability is no worse than the average second level.

On the one hand, the battle is not a direct comparison of ranks, and so far I have not encountered an enemy that cannot be handled by overheated weapons.

Except for the hero of Gaul, Aubrey, the Shield of Joan, who is very difficult to deal with, the other guns, explosives and poisons are all effective.

On the other hand, the process of Ronan's promotion to Predator is obviously a substantial improvement in all aspects of body including spirit.

Moreover, it is also possible to cheat by using the ability to absorb souls and steal others.

In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Ronan listened carefully, and someone outside the door called him in a low voice, it was Ilsa.

Opening the door, Ilsa in a lady's suit came in with two bags and asked him, "Have you had enough sleep?"

Ronan said, "I've had enough sleep."

Ilsa threw a bag to Ronan: "Take you somewhere, we'll go shopping tonight."

Ronan opened the bag, and inside was a black sports sweater, the kind with a hood.

The two changed clothes and went out.

This time Ilsa drove, but did not leave the North End of London, but continued to go north.

"Every Friday morning, there is a morning market at the flea market in the north." Ilsa said simply: "It often sells some weird things, most of which are deceiving people by using garbage as treasures, and occasionally encounter good things. My teacher bought a magic gem there."

"It's good to go and have a look." Ronan understood that this is a second-hand goods market similar to the original World Lian Tan.

When Ilsa was on Danu Island, she couldn't see the existence of the dementors at all. Not only did Ronan find out, but also cleaned up the dementors: "You have a different eye for things, let's try our luck."

Ronan thought he was shopping with Ilsa, and he asked instead, "Is Danu Island dealt with?"

Regarding her own organization, Ilsa didn't elaborate: "I waited until the official people came and handed it over to them. It involved extraordinary things and brought them back to London."

It was close to two o'clock in the morning, and I came to the northern suburbs of London, where there was an abandoned subway station, and the flea market was inside.

There are more than 30 abandoned subway stations in London, most of which have become centers for homeless people or certain underground transactions.

The car stopped on the street. Ronan and Ilsa put on their hoods and walked down the steps. A small door opened on the side of the shutter door of the closed subway station.

Someone stood by the door and charged: "10 pounds per person!"

Ronan gave him 20 pounds, and followed Ilsa through the door.

The inside of the subway station is messy and dirty, and there is an unpleasant smell. The incandescent lamps that are pulled up are not bright enough, and they keep shaking when the subway passes by, like will-o'-the-wisps.

There are sixty or seventy booths around the walls, and hundreds of people are strolling around.

Ilsa held Ronan's hand, looked from the left, saw an Easter egg at the second booth, and asked Ronan: "How about this?"

Ronan's spiritual vision can only see the soul and spirit body, so he can't tell the real from the fake, so he whispered: "If you like it, buy it."

As soon as he came in, he turned on his spirit vision, but it was useless.

Suddenly, feeling something staring at his back, Ronan turned his head away, but there was no one.

Ilsa noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ronan shook his head slightly. Just as he was about to say nothing, he found a lot of birdcages piled up on the opposite stall, and the stall owner was selling birds.

"Go and have a look." He walked over there.

Ilsa followed.

The stall owner sells a variety of birds, and you can see parrots, crows, owls and robins from a distance, and there are some species that Ronan can't name.

One of them looked like a crow, but was bigger than a crow. On its black head, a pair of dark eyes shone like obsidian.

Ronan pointed and asked, "What kind of bird is that?"

Ilsa said: "The raven is a very important bird in Britain. There is a legend that if the raven leaves the Tower of London one day, Britain will perish. The royal family has a special raven officer who is responsible for taking care of the ravens in the Tower of London. crow."

Ronan nodded: "I heard that the transitional crow."

I may have seen it before, but I didn't pay attention to it, thinking that the raven was a crow.

Ronan looked at the raven within his vision, and there was nothing special about it.

That raven tilted its chubby head, and its black eyes seemed to be looking at him too!
When he came near the booth, Ronan stared at the raven deliberately, but the raven didn't seem to be afraid, and still stared at him.

Ilsa asked: "Is this raven for sale?"

The stall owner is a sloppy old man with tattoos. Because of loose skin, the tattoos are so ugly that you can’t distinguish the patterns: "All the birds here are for sale! My birds are different, they all have spirituality!"

Ronan looked back: "They are all ordinary birds."

The old man boasted: "This one is different! It's the raven in the Tower of London!" He lifted the cage over and pointed to the raven: "Look, how smooth is the adult raven's feathers? The mouth is as hard as a chisel! The eyes Like gems! Ravens in the Tower of London, spiritual ones!"

He blew harder: "Let me tell you, it can hunt for treasure, and it has found diamonds before!"

When Ronan looked at the raven just now, he thought of one thing. It seems that the mastery of taming has never been used—Jess, who was far away in Los Angeles, suddenly turned cold—can it work on birds?
"Are you sure this is the raven in the Tower of London?" Ilsa said coldly: "Everyone lives in London, don't tell such low-level lies! There are only seven ravens living in the Tower of London, six defend the kingdom, and one Only as an alternate!"

The tattooed old man didn't change his face: "This one often flies to the Tower of London. I caught it near the Tower of London. It's not wrong to say that it is a raven from the Tower of London."

Ronan said, "Make an offer."

Tattooed old man holds out a finger.

Ronan understood: "100 pounds?"

"A thousand pounds!" said the old man.

Ronan pulled Ilsa: "Go!"

A thousand pounds is an insignificant amount of money for both of them, but coming here is like shopping, shopping is fun.

The two turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, the tattooed old man shouted from behind: "500 pounds!" Seeing the two people, he didn't look back at all: "100 pounds, sold to you!"

Ronan turned back, counted five banknotes to him, picked up the cage and left.

Ilsa asked curiously, "What did you buy the raven for?"

Ronan said: "See if you can tame it, I forgot to tell you, I am a beast tamer."

Taming Mastery: With whips, chains, and the right perks, even the more spiritual animals can be tamed!

Not wanting to go anywhere else, Ronan bought a whip and chains here.

As for the proper benefits?Does roast beef count?

If it can't be domesticated, it can only mean one thing - this raven has no spirituality!
