Chapter 347 The first movement: The Poem of Awakening (24): Gunfight
Are you a fun guy or a smart guy?

Fan Ning, who had just woken up from the blue star dream, was complaining constantly in his heart at this moment, and the killing intent continued to rise and disappear.

This person knows the tricks of what he should know and understand better than anyone else, but he is very stupid when it comes to the most core issues.

It wasn't until half a minute later that the eager invisible force slowly subsided. Fanning tiptoed again and pulled a handful of red bananas, followed behind, and also walked towards the caravan.

Just now, he considered two issues: first, the incident had already happened, this person "killed first and played later", and he was quite bold in telling the whole story and sharing a sum of money with him; One way, sooner or later, I will be recommended by the people around me "with discerning eyes and talents", unless I don't engage in music activities at all and give up promotion to be a master, which is impossible for an artist or a person with knowledge.

No matter how clean his hands and feet are, as long as Massenecourt, the "outsider" and recommender, disappears in this way, what will happen next can be expected: except for the focus on himself, there will be nothing. benefit.

Instead, it's better to keep an eye on this guy, at least he has one "advantage" that is, he advertises "I come from a famous family, has extensive contacts, and is well-informed" every now and then. If I don't come here today, I don't know when I will learn about it matter.

So the conversation ended, and the only change was that Fanning had an extra 200 pounds of denomination gold coins in his pocket.

The hireling and the coachman had finished removing the umbrella and closing the awning, and he boarded back into his spacious carriage. Luna hurriedly opened the umbrella and got ready to get out of the carriage:

"Mr. Scheler, I'll change the car, you rest first, good afternoon."

"I can just take a nap for a while, you can do it yourself."

"Oh." The little girl put the umbrella away again, but moved it to a place farther away.

She yawned, spread out the mat, and lay down on the sofa with her legs curled up.

Fan Ning closed his eyes and leaned inside, and began to think about the meanings of the other key words that Marseille Negu had revealed - "outsider" and "liaison office".

The threat of proliferation in the abnormal area is not limited to the North Continent. The members of the discussion group include all official organizations in the world, and the Special Inspection Office is the team leader unit. The words of Marseille Necoud reflect from the side that the Special Inspection Office is located in major cities in overseas countries. A large number of "liaison offices" were deployed.

Since it is a liaison office, there will definitely be a person in charge stationed there. In other words, there are investigators from the Special Inspection Office in the Southern Continent and even in Tia City.

But they must be severely understaffed.

Officials with clean backgrounds and low pollution risks are rare, and there are not enough local investigators in Tiolein.

Make a reasonable guess: Due to the objective problems of geography and manpower, the Liaison Office has more civilian and extraordinary powers, and the Special Inspection Office will absorb some knowledgeable people with reliable backgrounds and non-clergy in the local area, through entrusted remuneration + loose management This is the optimal solution under limited conditions.

That's why there are "outsiders" or "authentic guides" like Marseille Negu.

After sorting out the joints, Fan Ning realized more clearly that although this place does not have the strong control of the mysterious side like Tiolein, the sights and traces of activities in the special inspection hall are far more than what he thought before!
After traveling for several hours, Fan Ning pondered the details of the follow-up response in his mind, when suddenly there were several "bang bang" gunshots, and then the carriage stopped.

There was a commotion outside, and Luna woke up and sat up.

"What's going on?" Fanning closed his eyes and opened his eyes, sitting in his seat and asking calmly.

"It should be because of gangs running around and looting. Most of the wilderness and rainforest here are desolate. It is difficult for the police and the army to take care of each other, so caravans are often followed and blocked by gangs..."

The little girl's face was obviously still a little scared, but she said comfortingly: "Mr. Scheler, don't worry, we also have guns. The guards are well paid and well-trained, and the 'guide' Mr. Masai Negu Smoothing things out like this is my specialty..."

"Brother Wedgetail Eagle, are you still working in such a hot day?" Just as Luna finished speaking, Masai Negu's voice came from outside.

"Hey, Mr. 'Golden Suanni' Knight Commander personally escorted him, how much did he charge for it?" A male voice sounded stern.

She heard that she quietly opened a window along the direction, secretly looking at the situation outside, and Fan Ning also looked out.

Marseille Negu stood there, dealing with two burly men with darker skin opposite him.

Moreover, Fanning's spiritual sense could accurately sense that there were 14 revolvers or short-barreled shotguns aiming at the knight in the distance, and there were more men with crossbows and weapons hiding in the grass. There were also 8 people in the caravan on his side. They aimed their guns at each other.

The two sides are confronting each other. Marseille Negu is acting very calm and capable at the moment. Fan Ning can hear that they seem to be calling each other's numbers, and then they are talking about a ratio, first 5%, then 2%, and finally finalized on the figure of 3%. .

"You guys come down from the car, open the goods, and let your friends see what's new." Masai Negu waved his hand.

After being confirmed by Chretien in the carriage, the hired drivers did as they said, and the gang called a few tall and thin guys. They first rummaged through the goods, then pointed at the goods with their fingers, and began to count in their mouths.

Fan Ning can probably see that the supplies for the "Flower Ceremony" celebration include precious spices, dried flowers, jams and tea bricks.

During the confrontation with guns, they talked again. This time, they seemed to be estimating the value of the goods. After several disputes, they settled on the number of 15000 pounds.

So Troya asked someone to order 450 pounds of gold coins and threw them over. The gunmen on both sides started to back each other up. After a while, the gangster team withdrew without any actual conflict.

The caravan was in its place, and the carriage started to move again.

"If a few more railways can be built, this situation may be much less." Luna breathed a sigh of relief, and also sighed, and closed the curtains. In just a short while, her face and arms were tanned like sheets of water. Soaked fragile rice paper.

Fan Ning did not say too much, this little episode was not even a splash in his past experience, he closed his eyes again to rest his mind and recover his inspiration.

He is well aware of the geographical conditions of the southern continent, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the industrially developed Tiolein to build a railway. The land here is sparsely populated, with rainforests and islands. The only railway was built from the 80s to 4 years ago. Only through traffic.

A single direction and route can't meet the needs of trade and passenger transportation at all. There are several other railways under construction by the authorities, but they are far away from completion. Most caravans still have to transport goods in this way.

This time it took a longer time, around five or six o'clock in the afternoon, there were another "bang bang" shots outside, and the caravan stopped again.

"What the hell? Are the gangs in the Southern Continent so rampant?" Fan Ning, who had rested better at this time, opened the curtain by himself with a hint of curiosity.

A similar confrontation.

The opposite side sent a dwarf to come up to negotiate, but unexpectedly, Masseinecourt's attitude was completely opposite this time, and he didn't say a word of nonsense.

He directly took out the revolver, and shot it to the opponent's forehead!
"Bang!—" Blood blossomed, and the dwarf just opened his mouth when he fell on his back.

"Fuck, son of a bitch!" A yell came from the crowd at the back, several people raised their pistols and pulled the triggers, and more people rushed up with machetes.

"The guy who is looking for death." Massai Negu sneered, moved a little, raised the short-barreled shotgun and fired three times in a row, a few balls of blood splashed in the grass, and the guards also drew their guns and looked for cover.

"Watch out for bullets!"

"Collapse this group of idiots who want money but don't care about their lives!"

"Bang!—Bang bang bang!!!—" "Ah!!!"

"Dodge, dodge! Squat down in the carriage!"

"Fuck, it's a bomb!"

For a while, there were gunshots and shouts and wailings outside. Luna was so frightened that she lay down on the carpet, and was about to remind Fan Ning loudly, but Fan Ning got up straight away and pulled her up:
"Go, get out of the car with me."
