Chapter 90 Sir, it's time to drink

"Huh, it's almost here."

Stepping off the aircraft, Wayne let out a long sigh of relief.It was the first time for him to stay on the aircraft for nearly a day, although the level of the pilot can be said to be very high.However, due to material conditions and external environment, this flight experience is really not very comfortable.Turbulence is a common occurrence. Occasionally, due to the threat of natural disasters ahead, we are forced to deviate from the course. If Originium fuel is not more durable than petroleum fuel, Wayne is really worried that this thing will fall from mid-air. fell down.

However, without any risk, he still arrived here—the capital of Rim Billiton, Sigraine, a large mobile city that combines sightseeing, tourism and transnational trade, and is composed of joint ruling conferences from various countries.

"You can take a look at the scenery after the work is done. Your Highness Wayne, you have a lot of things to do right now, so you can't rest yet."

Kelsey reminded from the side,

"How are you going to find Ascalon?"

Wayne nodded seriously, frowned, looked thoughtful, and analyzed in a dignified way:

"Teresia, you said that Ascalon was born in the direct line of the Kazdel Military Council. He was a comrade who fought side by side with Teresis and you on the battlefield. He has rich combat experience and anti-reconnaissance awareness. It was not easy to find her."

Teresia nodded and said affirmatively: "I did say that. And not only that, Ascalon's combat experience was already very rich before the war broke out. The Sarkaz organization she was born in has always had a very special The reputation and rules of the king's court - regardless of race, the people who enter the royal court are all brothers and sisters. That's why they are also called Brotherhood. They..."

"They are a well-known assassin organization, full of first-class assassin masters, and they have existed for a long time, and their members are also very extensive. They have influenced many historical changes and evil events in the shadows. And they also There is an old enemy organization called the Knights Templar?"

Wayne answered abruptly, interrupting Teresia's train of thought.Teresia froze for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said in surprise:

"Mr. Bruce, where did you know these things?"

The corner of Wayne's mouth twitched, he looked up at the sky with emotion, and replied, "Where did I know... This is really a long story."

Seeing that Wayne didn't seem to intend to elaborate, Teresia tilted her head strangely and explained:

"However, it is not entirely correct. For example, the Brotherhood is not as powerful as it is said. They have not yet reached the level of fame in Kazdel's history, let alone have an impact on the historical changes of the world. And on the other hand, their old enemy organization was not always called the Knights Templar. To be more precise, the old enemy of the Brotherhood was the Lateran Holy See, which was the anti-demon crusade organized by the Holy See at the beginning. The Crusades split Then there were the four major knights of the Holy See. In modern times, the influence of the Holy See has declined from secular politics, and the four major knights have also been disbanded. The old enemy of the Brotherhood has become composed of the disbanded knights and their flock The Inquisition, the Inquisition, and the Lateran Garrison. Everyone is moving with the times."

The only thing that stands still is the game of a certain bug company that is getting more and more unique.Wayne complained inwardly.

"So, it's hard to find Ascalon. My idea is, don't look for it. Wait for her to come back."

Wayne said, "Roll over the whole of Sigraine overnight, and invade all the forces that may be interested in us. Although I also think this matter is not very reliable, but if she can really do it, I will Why stop it? A mysterious and powerful organization that may enter your home at any time and stab you in the back has exactly the same effect as we need in terms of people not wanting to get close. Ascalon probably realized this , will act without orders."

"So, the focus of our concern should be whether Ascalon's actions will be in danger. Rather than how to find her and stop her. Kelsey, you know the most about Rem Billiton here, Ascalon How dangerous is the operation at Sigraine, do you estimate?"

Kelsey cast a glance at Wayne, and probably only Wayne could say such things as making people calculate the danger of an action out of thin air.But Kelsey knows everything, and she can really fulfill this request.

"Askalon is the one I personally recruited to join the Tower of Babel. According to the archives and records of her past service in the Kazdel Army, combined with the situation of the major forces known to Sigraine, I think it is dangerous. Sex is about [-]% to [-]% effective. The danger is not small, but it can be considered a task that can be completed."

"That's right. So Kelsey, arrange the medical team and support team to be ready to respond. Let's sleep well in the manor tonight and wait for the news tomorrow."

Wayne stretched himself,

"The rest will be a big job. If you don't adjust the time difference, be careful to fall asleep in the mine!"

...........

Ram Billiton, Sygraney, Directorate General of Urban Traffic Safety.

A reception is being held in the banquet hall of this three-story Gallic style building.There were no high-ranking officials present at the meeting, and almost all of them were rich men in idle positions. They exchanged cups and exchanged cups. There was no politics involved during the meeting, and they just kept discussing matters related to mine development and resource investment. Among them, the most senior The official is just a small clerk of the Urban Traffic Safety Bureau.If it weren't for the location of the banquet hall, it wouldn't be impossible to say that he was a gathering among rich people.

This situation continued until Leitania, who was the host of the banquet, appeared.With huge and curved horns and a black loose mage robe, the nobleman of Letania walked to the center of the party, stood under the spotlight and raised his wine glass, announcing an important decision:

"The Joint Referee Conference has sold the mining rights of the Rabbit Mine to Glasgow Mining. They have paid all the expenses in one go. Starting tomorrow, all companies and countries that have not been authorized by the company should voluntarily withdraw from the Rabbit Mine."

"Paid all the expenses in one go?" "Contracted an entire mining area for mining?" "Which country is this company from? I haven't heard the name."

Discussions started in an instant.But it didn't take long for the disorganized issues to unify into a core question:

"Is there any chance that I can make a fortune from this company?"

The Letanian standing in the center of the stage looked at this scene with satisfaction. This is what he wanted. He didn't know the reality of that company, but Rem Billiton had many useful chess pieces. It was easy for him to throw a piece out to scare the snakes and see the species of snakes.Even if others wanted to track him down, they couldn't find him.

"Waiter, pour me a glass of wine."

cried the Letanian.A young Sarkaz woman with fiery red hair immediately came forward, took a glass of red wine from the tray in her hand, and handed it to the Laitanian.

"Please use."

The Sarkaz woman said with a smile.

The Letanian chuckled, looked up and down at the strange waiter, and nodded:

"Not bad, since when did the Urban Construction Security Bureau recruit such a beautiful servant? Do you want to go further? I can help you, as long as you come tonight..."

"My lord, please drink." The red-haired Sarkaz woman's eyes were full of spring, she stretched out her hand, holding the stem of the goblet with her pale fingers, and gently fed the fine wine in the glass to the mouth of the Laitanian .

The Letanian didn't doubt it either, and easily drank the fine wine that was fed to his mouth.smashed and smacked:

"It's a beautiful thing for a beauty to persuade you to drink. I don't know if you..."

"It must make you so satisfied, my lord, that you can't get out of bed."

Ascalon replied with a smile.The soft tone combined with the trained soft voice made the Letanian completely relax his vigilance. The **** man didn't notice the chill in Ascalon's smile at all, and reported his hotel room number with great interest.

He felt that his throat was a little dry, and he became a little groggy. He must have drank a large glass of wine in one breath, and his stamina was getting better.

Even the best wine, if you drink too much, is also poison.

he thought subconsciously.

Chapter 91 I am the best news maker

"The nobles are really becoming less and less vigilant now."

Standing in front of the washstand in the bathroom, Ascalon poured the poison into the sink of the washstand, wiped his hands, and smiled disdainfully.

The onset time of the poison is 10 minutes, and after 10 minutes, the nobleman of Letania and the people in the banquet hall will die quietly.Ascalon still believed in the poison made by the Grand Lich.

Ascalon touched the sapphire ring in his hand. This was the "token" given to him by the nobleman of Letania. He was naively waiting for Ascalon to wear this ring to the hotel tonight. Looking for her, but without knowing it, his life may only have 30 minutes left, and he may not even see the door of his hotel.Ascalon smiled contemptuously, thought for a while, and put the ring in his bosom instead of throwing it away.If she had enough time, she really wanted to see the nobleman of Letania fall in front of her, and then go to give him a condolence before death.

But she didn't intend to stay here any longer, waiting to witness this banquet hall turn into a dead zone.The people in this room were just one of his targets. Besides them, Ascalon still had many targets to eliminate one by one.She walked into the women's bathroom, and taking advantage of the darkness of the night, she nimbly jumped onto the skylight, easily blended into the building where the Security Bureau was located, and disappeared into the night.

The next target was the chairman of the New Oasis Mining Company, who encouraged those infected to surround the resort and said that if they were not given the privilege of mining, they would never leave easily.The defense force around him is very sufficient, and his vigilance is not low, the usual methods of poisoning or seduction probably won't work.So Ascalon adopted the method of direct interception.If the defensive power is strong, just kill them all directly to ensure that there are no witnesses, then it can also be counted as an assassination.For her, this is just a piece of cake.In 10 minutes, Ascalon, who covered his whole body in a black cloak, retreated from the street full of corpses.At the scene, she left the ring she gave to the nobleman from Letania.

This was a clumsy trick, but Ascalon didn't care, since there was no proof of death anyway, this little framing was nothing more than a handy trick.

Of course, before leaving, she didn't forget to take a hand crossbow engraved with spell patterns used by the chairman of Oasis Mining for self-defense.

The next target is the ex-Colombian capitalist. Because he was too young to join the parliament, but he has a good political background and brains, he was evaluated by the outside world as a "member not present".When Ascalon stared at him, he was sitting in the back seat of a convertible with his girlfriend, with a big smile on his face.Although the collapse of Colombia ruined his political path of becoming a member of parliament and competing for the chief referee, he started a second spring of his life in Rim Billiton, a country without an owner.Especially recently, he has become even more complacent. Rem Billiton's rich resources of infected people have given him the idea of ​​​​inheriting Columbia's business.He is currently offering high salaries and recruiting scientists on a large scale.Intending to restart the aborted Loken tank-type human experiments.One of the major reasons for the riot of infected people this time is that he united several big merchants to sell the source ore mines in order to prepare enough [body], which caused the profits of many small mines to plummet, and they were forced to close down, causing a large number of infected workers to lose their jobs. .And for those infected who couldn't survive and were forced to sign up for the experiment, the capitalists also called it voluntary participation.

To deal with him, Ascalon activated his own anti-material sniper rifle.This was what she captured from a soldier of the Pope's Guard when she fought against the Lateran Crusaders on the battlefield.This product of the previous generation of civilization is not easy to damage, and the bullets used are not difficult to imitate, but its power is unparalleled, even if it is ten kilometers away, this weapon has obviously surpassed the upper limit of the technology of Terra civilization. A sniper gun can also easily tear the head of a heavily armed Kazimir knight directly from the neck.

Ascalon chose a commanding height. This kind of building is not difficult to find in Rim Billiton, and the capitalists are obviously not the slightest bit vigilant.The moment he pulled the trigger, Ascalon could still see the bright smile on the man's face through the scope.

It can also be seen after the trigger is pulled that Ascalon's technique is exquisite, leaving half of his face for him, hoping that the smile can heal the frozen woman beside him.

Ascalon blew away the origin stone smoke from the muzzle.He skillfully dismantled the firearms and put them into a suitcase. While listening to the screams and howls coming from the direction of the street, he calmly walked down to the top of the building and took the elevator to the restaurant on the first floor. I packed a fried and grilled Origin Stone worm dish for myself.

She glanced at her watch, the ambush took more than an hour, the main time was spent on selecting the sniper point and waiting for the target, and the real sniping took about 3 minutes.Even so, it was still very early in the morning.

"It's much simpler than I thought. Should we kill two more?"

Ascalon sighed, raised his hand, and said to Boss Pero who was busy in the kitchen:

"Boss, forget it, don't take out, dine in.",

"Okay!" Boss Perlo poked his head out from the back kitchen, bared his teeth and showed a tired smile, and responded, "Speaking of which, it's midnight, and it's so lively outside."

"It seems that someone was killed on the street." Ascalon yawned, and replied calmly, "I don't know who did it. It's really wicked, and it's so late that people can't sleep well. "

The boss came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of crispy Originium worms wrapped in flour and fried, made a bowl of rice for Ascalon, and placed it in front of her.With a somewhat frightened expression on his face, he said: "Yeah. It's really wicked. Is the guest just off work? It's so late, a girl should not hang out alone like this. Peaceful."

Ascalon picked up a root stone worm, put it in his mouth, and bit down on the smiling eyes of the boss, who froze slightly.But soon returned to normal, said:

"I haven't gotten off work yet."

The boss watched Ascalon eat the Originium Worm, and his expression was not obvious.He added ingredients to this plate of fried origin stone worms, as long as ordinary people eat it, they will be unconscious within 5 minutes.He looked up and down at Ascalon's slender figure, but he was afraid that his gaze would be too revealing, which would make Ascalon alert, so he quickly looked back, and casually found a topic to delay the time: " Do you work upstairs? First time seeing you."

Ascalon smiled and shook his head, raised his hand, took out the hand crossbow that came along, put it in front of the boss, and said with a smile: "Is it possible that I am the killer?"

The boss's face froze, and just as he was about to speak, a Hidden Blade had already popped out of Ascalon's right wrist, piercing the boss' neck in the blink of an eye.Ascalon dodged back with experience, avoiding the spray of blood, wiped the Hidden Blade with a napkin on the table, pushed the spell hand crossbow towards the boss, and said:

"I paid for the meal, so there's no need to look for it."

After speaking, he picked up his suitcase and turned to leave.

The next day, the headlines of RIM Billiton Daily hit the news.

Chapter 92

Early the next morning, Wayne got the pre-booked newspaper.

Although he was mentally prepared, Wayne was still taken aback by Ascalon's big moves last night.

"Three headlines: [Silent banquet hall, silent warlock and his guests.], [Street strewn with corpses, a deliberate murder?], [Assassinated, smiling entrepreneur was sniped in the street, joint meeting late at night Accountable to Special Envoy Lateran!] Hohoho, this movement is really big.”

Wayne exclaimed, and Teresia and Kelsey, who were having breakfast in the dining room, came forward curiously.Then he was taken aback.

Theresia was the one who knew Ascalon the best among those present, but she was still a little surprised to see Ascalon killing so much and causing such an uproar when he first came to Rim Billiton.

"The nobles of Letania were killed in Rem Billiton, and no one at the same banquet was spared. Will this attract the attention of the Elector and the twin empresses?"

Kelsey added: "It's not a small matter to directly assassinate the chairman of a large-scale enterprise in Remm Billiton and a well-known political figure." She pointed to a line in the report. Text, "However, Ascalon seems to have covered up to a certain extent. She placed related items in several cases at the scene of other cases. Is it to pretend to be a three-way melee?"

"I think she just wants people to connect these three things." Wayne commented, "It's not so much a cover-up, but this kind of concealment is like a provocation, like a child who ate a cake It’s like leaving a pet’s collar on the table. There’s no silver 300 taels here.”

Wayne shrugged his shoulders: "But that's not the point, the point is, it's time for us to help wipe our ass now." He looked at Kelsey and ordered: "According to the plan we agreed last night, Kelsey, you Take charge of investigating the scandals of these people. Teresia, you are responsible for writing the article, and I will be responsible for the final release. Joseph Pulitzer’s second draft for the new year is coming. This time there are more goals. If possible, Don’t limit yourself to these two or three people.”

That's right, since Ascalon was expected to make some big news, Wayne must have been prepared long ago.It has been more than half a month since the report of the "Lentinium Massacre" that shocked Terra was published last time. It is time for the people of Terra to look away from the empty aristocratic court in Victoria and turn to this mine There is no land on the field.When the chaos is exposed by the righteous [Joseph Pulitzer], Vinn has a good reason to propose reforms to the current Remm Billiton policy and system at the Remm Billiton National Joint Conference without appearing abrupt and weird.On the basis of holding three votes in Victoria and the majority of public opinion, it has become a certainty to improve the lives of infected people through issues.

In this way, Ascalon helped clear away several ambitious people who would hinder the excavation work. Joseph Pulitzer exposed Rem Billiton and continued to earn a reputation. Wayne can take this opportunity to implement a new A round of reforms to improve the lives of infected people in mining areas and quell riots.Three birds with one stone, Wayne won three times.

Kelsey nodded in admiration. She would never be able to do this kind of trick. Kelsey is a conservative. When faced with this situation, she chooses to avoid and keep a low profile.Only Wayne can connect this series of events in some unimaginable ways, and finally reach a perfect plan.This is one of the reasons Kelsey admires Wayne.If all she did was "able to change her own situation, but unable to do anything about the decay of the entire land", then Wayne has truly achieved "changing herself and changing society at the same time".

She bent down to salute, and retreated quickly to complete her mission.Collecting intelligence is not her job, but as a self-proclaimed "omniscient person", intelligence gathering is her forte.Not to mention a few wealthy politicians who are in Rem Billiton and far away from Terra's inner circle, if she wants to find out what Nene Queen Letania is today through thousands of years of connections and shrewd means Any color is not impossible!

Teresia watched Kelsey leave, turned her head to Wayne, and said:

"Are you going to meet Ascalon?"

"Forget it." Wayne waved his hand, "She should be resting now, and she is working together in the Tower of Babel. We will meet one day. Compared with this, Teresia, what is Letania's side?" What's the situation? The elector is in trouble again?"

Letania is a very weird country. As a quasi-first-class country that can be ranked in Terra, Letania has the highest level of feudalization.In the era when the Witch King ruled that country, such a system as parliament did not even exist. The major nobles lived in high towers and held the real power in their respective territories, while the Witch King used magic to monitor the whole country. Once someone rebelled, The whole city will be turned into a dead city by magic.Such cases are not uncommon.It wasn't until the Witch King fell from the tower and the twin empresses ascended the throne that the situation got a little better.

But that's just one thing, because they lack the terrifying magic skills of the Witch King, the twin queens can't monitor the whole country all the time, and can only rely on the way of patrolling the country in the voice of the queen to stabilize their rule.And the aristocratic forces that had been suppressed by the dictatorship of the Witch King have made a comeback again. It is not uncommon to know the lords instead of the queens.It is normal for government orders not to go out of the capital, and people's sentiments not to reach the central government.Among them, the seven most powerful nobles, that is, the "Seven Electors" of Letania have also started to restore their strength, planning one new conspiracy after another.Under such circumstances, the entire Leitania showed an extremely xenophobic tendency, and it was rare to see a senior official of Leitania in Rim Billiton, and this senior official even attended a reception , and an unusual interest in RIM Billiton's mines is even more unique.

Whether he is the harbinger of Letania's desire to enter Terra's core circle again after the Witch King's era, or a simple case, Wayne is very curious about this.

But Teresia unexpectedly expressed ignorance about this: "I don't know either. Mr. Bruce, this may need to be sent to the diplomatic ambassador of Leitania after returning to Londinium. I know. But as far as I know, several major electors have indeed taken action, which is a fact."

"That's it." Wayne nodded, "Then I'll send a message to Wei Na and ask her to express condolences to Ambassador Letania."

Teresia nodded embarrassingly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Isn't it a bit of a loss for us to do this?"

Wayne was taken aback, and asked back, "Why?"

"We sent people to assassinate their nobles, and then we went to express our condolences? Isn't this somewhat..."

I kind of slapped you and asked you how you feel.

Wayne reacted and was amused.Added a sentence after the message sent to Wei Na:

"Send them two extra wreaths."

Chapter 93 Me and my illiterate guard

"To my dear brother: I have invited the Ambassador of Letania to lunch at noon today, and conveyed your condolences to him during the meeting. The Ambassador of Letania expressed his flattery and said that he will Take your words to the Twin Queens. As for the wreath you plan to send her, because of the difference in traditional customs, I couldn't find the kind of Yan Kingdom funeral supplies you mentioned in Londinium. Forgive me for the second best, in the store Bought two Yan Guohong window grilles and stickers for him. Your dear sister—Vina Victoria Bruce."

When Wayne saw the letter, his facial muscles twitched almost without laughing.

He thought he was damaged enough, but he didn't expect Wei Na to be more ruthless. The wreath is still a funeral item, and he expressed a little bit of condolences. Wei Na couldn't find the wreath, so she sent a pair of blessings and paper-cut window grilles. Is this to congratulate the nobles on the death of Letania or to remind the twin empresses to celebrate the funeral?

Those who didn't know thought that Letania also celebrated the New Year.I don't know if the Twin Queens will be wrinkled and guilty after receiving this gift.

The members of the Tower of Babel who had already reconciled with Wayne and others were also in the resort villa at the moment. Standing behind Wayne, Shirter was lying on the sofa with his upper body lying on the sofa, eating ice cream with his feet up while eating ice cream from Wayne. She stuck her head out beside her head, reading the letter that she could only half understand with her level of education.But the arrogant Miss Stelter will definitely not admit that she doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters. While watching, she still has to follow Wayne's movements and have fun together, guessing the meaning from time to time Make some comments.After Wayne laughed, Shirtel immediately nodded in agreement:

"Miss Wei Na did a really good job."

Wayne, who had known about Shirtel for a long time, raised his head, looked at Shirtel's tender neck and chin from an upward perspective, and asked especially:

"Really, do you feel the same way?"

Seeing such a question from Wayne, Shirtel nodded firmly, as if he was afraid that the nodding was not fast enough and Wenn would see the flaw:

"Of course, Her Highness Wei Na is very powerful. Although her hammer is not as big as Mudstone, she still has a lot of momentum when she swings it. And Her Highness Wei Na can also use a sword, although her sword skills are a little bit worse than mine. That's it."

Apart from sticking the sword into the ground and handing over the rest to Lewatin, your aunt actually has a talk about swordsmanship?It really opened my eyes to Belonging to Yes.
