Civilization Guardian Front

"Yes, Master Chios." Without any intention of asking for relevant information, the old butler dutifully turned around and led the way for the young man.

"Please follow me."

The three of them entered the house and came to the wall on the left side of the gorgeous staircase leading to the second floor in the center of the entrance. There was a huge portrait of a medieval knight hanging on the entire decorative wall.

On the small table with decorations on the side, Arthur picked up the old rotary telephone microphone, and dialed the corresponding numbers regularly with his hand wearing pure white gloves.

After dialing seven numbers in a row, there was an extremely subtle sound of gears running behind the portrait.

Ka...

The seemingly tight-fitting wall slowly opened inward, and in front of Chios and the others, a passage leading to the ground was revealed.

"Then, I will take my leave first."

In order to avoid too much exposure to the master's secrets, the butler bowed respectfully to Chios and left quickly.

Tifa watched the other party's leaving figure, and couldn't help but sigh:

"It's not easy being a housekeeper..."

"There are not many people in this world who can do it so perfectly. In the profession of housekeeper, Arthur can be said to be outstanding..."

The young man walked into the passage while talking, and after the girl behind him followed him, he gently pushed the secret door disguised as a wall, so that the entrance was automatically closed.

The downward staircase is smooth but not steep, with handrails on both sides, and brass wall lamps to illuminate the path in front of you.Walking down the level of one floor, a hall with a size of about [-] square meters appeared in front of you.

There is no difference in structure and furnishings from other side halls in this mansion, the only difference is that it is completely closed on all sides, with bookshelves instead of windows, and only the central air conditioner between the wall panels is responsible for the air circulation here.

A six-foot cherry wood desk is facing the door, and a computer that looks nothing special is placed on the table.

A very simple meeting room.

The meeting hall of the Earl of Pembroke does not hide any dark secrets, it is just a place for conversations that can ensure that no one eavesdrops.

According to the records of the coat of arms information, the ordinary computer on the table is the channel to the director of the British Secret Intelligence Service.

The two came to the desk and turned on the computer screen.

Combining a lion, a war horse, and a crown, a pattern representing MI[-] emerged, and an electronically synthesized female voice came out:

"Code 000, I am requesting a call from Sir John Scarlett for you, please wait a moment..."

"The line has been connected, and the call will start in 3 seconds..."

"3, 2, 1..."

"This appears to be the first time you have contacted us since your ascension to the earldom, Lord of Pembroke..."

The standard Oxford accent with an r sound, combined with the voice of a middle-aged man who has lived in the capital London for a long time and is slightly fast and indifferent, after the short greetings without waiting for the other party to respond, he immediately cut to the point:

"I believe you must have important news to inform us, and I'm all ears."

It is simply impossible to expect a busy intelligence chief to spend a few minutes with himself before talking about business slowly and gracefully.

Therefore, Chios didn't waste time and directly stated his request:

"I'm about to infiltrate into Yiyou's internal investigation. I hope you understand and provide cover for my future related actions."

"..."

The other end of the call suddenly fell silent.

The quality of the call was good, and even the sound of the other party's rapid breathing was transmitted over.

Obviously, the sudden notification from Chios had shocked him quite a bit.

A person who can serve as the intelligence chief is undoubtedly top-notch in his ability to control his emotions. In just three breaths, John Scarlett returned to his previous composure.

"Yiyou's relevant information is a Royal Class A secret. Even though your authority level is higher, I still want to remind you..."

It is unclear why the Earl of Pembroke would suddenly propose the idea of ​​joining Yiyou, he patiently slowed down his speech, and explained Yiyou's danger to Chios:

"Yiyou is the most vicious criminal group in the world today. Although its existence checks and balances many lawless organizations and keeps the countries in order and stability, what really makes it extremely dangerous is not just the huge submarine or the nuclear bomb, but yes..."

He couldn't continue, and Chios had already taken over the conversation and replied on his behalf:

"Crimson Bullet, the high-purity scarlet gold entrusted to Sir Sherlock Holmes by the queen for "scarlet research", am I right? "

Hearing this, Sir John was silent for a moment.

"I remember that in the history of the Marshall family, they have never been involved in a battle of gold..."

The implication is that the Earl of Pembroke, who has always avoided the competition for sex gold organized by various countries in the world and paid no attention to it, suddenly became interested in it?

As one of the oldest and rare wealthy families in Britain that has continued to this day, once the Earl of Pembroke intervenes, it will inevitably lead to more complicated turmoil.

This is a factor that intelligence chiefs have to consider.

"Heh..." Facing John Scarlett's doubts, Chios sneered and gave his own answer:

"Because I have some conflicts with a family in the far east. That family has the protection of the country's government and the color gold holding organization. For this reason, I need corresponding forces to counteract."

"This..."

Unexpectedly, the other party's motive was simply a personal vendetta. The head of MI[-] pondered for a moment, seriously considering whether to agree to provide Chios with political resources.

The Marshall family, which has not been stained with betrayal for many years and has always maintained a loyal relationship with the British royal family, is indeed a reliable force in the eyes of domestic insiders.

Regardless of whether the reason Chios said is true or not, it is also an opportunity for the intelligence agency.

The result of the Earl of Pembroke's sneaking into Yiyou is unlikely to be more harmful to the country than other countries' gold holding organizations.

Most importantly, the UK was able to take this opportunity to learn about Yiyou's future movements, and even had the possibility of seizing the Dongfang or Scarlet Bullet.

"I see..."

"MI000 supports the code-named [-]'s decision to infiltrate Yiyou. As long as you regularly report the latest information about Yiyou, the country will serve as your backing."

Chapter 220 five? Don't move

The conversation with John Scarlett was quite brief. Chios proposed the arrangements he needed, and promised to provide internal information such as Yiyou's whereabouts, research materials, and criminal operations every season in exchange.

Since Yiyou's base is on the Dongfang, and it is always on the move, compared to organizations with fixed bases, this kind of information is quite precious to the intelligence bureau that is difficult to obtain Yiyou's timely information.

However, it is not difficult for Chios. It is relatively easy to obtain the research results of superpowers, genes, scientific research, and even color gold among Yiyou students, and it does not matter to Sherlock Holmes, the leader of the organization.

Only Dongfang and Scarlet Bullet are the core of Sherlock's attention.However, even if the British government has high hopes for him, it is impossible to make a foolish request to seize the two in a whimsical way.

Even if he really mentioned it, Chios still had some excuses to decline.

The code name of the Earl of Pembroke is 000, which means that the earliest belonged to both existing and non-establishment personnel.

Reasonable exchange of interests is the basis of mutual cooperation. If you want to risk your life to work for the government, it is easier to order 007 to carry out the task.

After all, the other party is the real spy who is supported by the tax money of the people...

After the call ended, the pattern on the screen representing MI[-] dimmed, changing from a steel-like silver-gray color to translucent, which meant that the meeting room had once again returned to a completely closed state.

A goblet filled with red wine was handed to Chios, and then Tifa's voice came to his ears from behind:

"The 'Professor' will know about it. "

"Of course..." After taking the wine glass and shaking it lightly, the young man first nodded to affirm the girl's words, then tilted the glass and smelled the fragrance in it.

"As early as the moment I proposed to join Yiyou, he should have expected that I would not allow anyone in the organization to use the information that I am a member of Yiyou as a means of attacking or threatening me..."

The smell of red wine that has not been fully awakened is still slightly restrained, and the fruity aromas of plums and black cherries are not unrestrained enough.

Not in a hurry to drink, he lowered his hand and continued to shake the contents of the cup. Chios continued to explain:

"Besides, what I want to do in Yiyou is not a small move, and it is only a matter of time before my identity is exposed to the eyes of all countries. In order to avoid disadvantages in terms of position and public opinion, it is essential to have the government as my backing."

"Well, I get it."

The ethereal and gentle voice flows like a clear spring, and the short reply is full of trust in the companion.The black-haired girl who understands Chios's plan does not intend to question it.

Holding an empty goblet in his hand, Tifa poured the wine he picked up from the wine refrigerator in the meeting room into it, and leaned sideways on the catalpa wood armrest of the cowhide chair.

"I'm just curious, wouldn't the professor want you to explain it to him personally..." Saying so, the girl took a sip of the ruby-colored wine.

Having been with the young man beside her for a long time, her appearance of drinking wine seems very natural.

"Sometimes it's one thing to know, but isn't it often the source of disputes whether to admit it or not?"

Hearing this, Chios smiled lightly and shook his head.

"I don't dare to say anything about others, but for Sherlock, just nod your head next time you see him..." After drinking half a glass of red wine, the young man continued:

"Although he is extremely capable and is the leader of Yiyou, he is not a difficult person to get along with in essence. As long as the situation develops in the direction he expects, he will not take the initiative to interfere in other people's affairs... You see, there is something wrong in Yiyou's internal affairs." The professor doesn't care about undercover agents from other organizations, and those characters who frequently kill people or even cause disputes."

"You mean, the professor is purely results-oriented?"

Through Yiyou's absolute power, she can check and balance the majority of Sherlocks in the world who hold color gold organizations, and holding Scarlet Bullets is not just to satisfy their own ambitions.

Is such a person so easy to talk to?

"Probably it has something to do with his almost predictable reasoning ability, just like watching a group of simple-minded children play around, they will always pamper each other without affecting themselves."

Spreading his empty left hand, Chios raised his wine glass to greet the girl beside him.

"Anyway, Sherlock hopes that we can bring about changes in the future. Compared with those troubled children who are full of enthusiasm and rampage, we who have achieved a clear goal and have achieved success, feel much more reliable, don't we?"

"Yes, yes, what the wise Earl of Pembroke said makes sense..." Tifa couldn't help chuckling as he spoke, and held out his wine glass to lightly touch the other party.

Ding...

...

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when I walked out from the secret door.

After eating some food in the living room on the first floor, Chios and Tifa, who had no other plans for the day, went to their respective dormitories under the guidance of the maid assigned by housekeeper Arthur.

Climbing up to the second floor, the maid leads the way to the left and the right, leading the two to the east and west pavilions respectively.

Even though they are seemingly almost certain unmarried couples, it is still impossible to have sex at bedtime.

For the descendants of European aristocrats, maintaining chastity before marriage is still the default rule, and it is extremely unbearable to develop further relationships when they are not married, which will only make the two families a laughing stock in the circle.

Even if the servants at home have a tight mouth, if they accidentally become pregnant out of wedlock, it is basically impossible to hide it.

In order to prevent this kind of damage to the family's reputation from happening, the current situation came into being.

With the guidance of the heraldry information, Chios can accurately find his bedroom without the guidance of others.

It's a pity that the duty of a housekeeper is just like this, to arrange the details of life in every possible way, so that the master does not need to be distracted by trivial details other than the main business.

Leisurely following the maid in the classical maid outfit in front of him, Chios turned his thoughts to other places.

(Speaking of which, I didn't see Riko in the castle...)

Based on his knowledge of the girl, after staying in Cardiff for a few years, Riko would probably ask to move out of Conrodden House and go to Pembroke Castle to follow Chios.

Unexpectedly, until he returned to the castle, he could not see the figure of the other party...

Maybe that girl joined Yiyou under the influence of fate.But even on the Dongfang, Riko did not appear in the lobby.

call...

With a sigh of relief, Chios temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart, and planned to ask Arthur tomorrow.

After a while of thinking, he had already arrived at the door of his room.

Pushing open the door and entering the bedroom, Chios reached out and unbuttoned the cloak on the shoulder of the dress, and said gently:

"I don't need anything else, you can go back and rest."

However, the other party did not leave as he said.

click...

The sound of the bedroom door being locked.

"Don't move..."

A cold and unfamiliar female voice came from my ear.

Chios turned his head indifferently, and saw the maid who locked the door, holding a Walser P99 pistol, pointing the muzzle straight at herself.

"Please take off your clothes, master."

【July Thanks List】

Before I knew it, another month passed. Looking back at the beginning of the Shinna chapter, it seems to have been a long time ago.
