Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"That's right..."

Chapter 28 Leonardo Angst

10:30am.

Shen Muke had no choice but to see Senator Angst who had returned in a hurry.

Angst was not as decrepit as Shen Muke imagined, but a spirited little old man who was dressed quite fashionably. He wore a popular soft hat, a long jacket, and a pair of polished leather boots.

As soon as this energetic old man stepped through the door, he started communicating with the servants at home.

"Good morning, Mrs. Rocks, what do you want to have for lunch today? It would be even better if there are scones made by you!"

"Hey, John, is your hand injury healed? If not, there is some ointment in the storage room, just take it yourself!"

"Peter, I said you don't have to clean that window all the time! No one cares about a little dust on there! What? You mean me? I'm too old to see that carefully!"

Shen Muke stared blankly as Angst continued to talk about everything in front of him, which gave him the illusion that he was visiting relatives during the holidays.six ⑨ four ⑨ three ⑥ one ③ five

In my impression, the grandparents in my hometown who like to chat are just like this. They have endless topics to talk about everything.

"Hello, Mr. Angst!" Shen Muke waited for a while, and when he was sure that Mr. Angst had not noticed him, he had to force his way to the old man, and then smiled and extended his hand.

"Ah? Ah! Hello, hello!" Angst narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Muke, then held his hand and said, "You are -"

"Ms. Kelsey, it was Ms. Kelsey who asked me to protect you for a period of time."

"Ah, yes, yes! Look at my memory, I almost forgot about this... You, have you eaten? You didn't eat lunch together!"

Where is this going? !

Shen Muke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had to repeat to Angst what Kelsey told him, and then seriously reminded Angst: "Where did you go this morning? Did you encounter anything unusual?"

This morning, after a long flight, Shen Muke knocked on the door of Angst's special museum and learned that Angst was not at home. His heart collapsed.

The person you want to protect is not at home, but has gone out, and no one knows where he went!

Shen Muke wanted to run out to find someone at that time, but just as he was about to leave, Angst came back by himself.

Looking at this energetic little old man, Shen Muke felt tired for a while——

You are all killed

Death threat!When a normal person encounters a death threat, not to mention being frightened and trembling, he should at least go out less, right?

Going out for a walk alone...what are you going to do?

However, Councilor Angst did not realize it at all, but invited Shen Muke to sit in the study very casually.

"Please sit down, please sit down. I just contacted Kelsey yesterday. I didn't expect you to arrive this morning... It's been a hard journey!" Councilor Angst poured a cup of tea for Shen Muke, opened the drawer at the same time, and took out a box of cigarettes .

"Ah, thank you for your kindness, I don't smoke..."

"Yeah! What a good habit! Young people should not touch this kind of thing!" Angst raised his eyebrows and then said: "Do you have Kelsey's letter? Show it to me."

Is this confirming my identity?

Shen Muke felt nervous and quickly rummaged through the documents and handed the letter to Angst.

Councilor Angst opened the envelope and briefly glanced at the beginning——

"Okay, I've confirmed that you are the bodyguard Kelsey found for me."

Are you sure after reading the beginning?

Angst blinked at Shen Muke and said, "Just by reading the beginning, I knew this letter was true. Only Kelsey would use so many rhetoric and long difficult sentences in a letter."

Shen Muke responded dumbfounded: "You are right."

Angst leaned back lazily on his chair, his voice was smooth and powerful: "To be honest, I don't think I need any bodyguards at all... In recent years, there have been dozens, if not hundreds, of people who have wanted my life, but None of them succeeded...but since Kelsey has arranged it for me, I will obey her decision."

"You are very familiar with Ms. Kelsey?"

"Familiar? Ha, you may not believe it when I tell you my relationship with her... As long as Leonardo Angst lives in this world, he will never forget his teacher-Kelsey."

"Ms. Kelsey is your teacher?" Shen Muke was quite surprised. In his impression, Kelsey had only one student, codenamed Yaye, who was later a five-star medical operator in Rhode Island and the first person in Ark who could Since then, the functions of Rhode Island medical operators have become increasingly broader...

Councilor Angst raised his head slightly, seeming to be recalling the past: "About a hundred years ago... I was still a young boy at that time, and I followed the scientific expedition team to the depths of Sargon to investigate the geology... As a result, I encountered danger, and almost all the scientific expedition team All the members were killed in battle, and in the end I was the only one left alive..."

Deep in Sargon?Isn't that the Foehn Hot Land? !

"Have you ever entered the Foehn Hot Land?" Shen Muke asked curiously.

"Huh? Ah, yes! Some people also call that place that name." Councilor Angst nodded.

"So, what did you encounter in the Foehn Hot Land?" Shen Muke was a little anxious. He had originally planned to explore the Foehn Hot Land, but now Angst actually said that he had been there before?What an unexpected surprise!

"I forgot," Councilor Angst replied calmly.

forget?

"Yes, I forgot." Angst rubbed his head helplessly, "After I was rescued from the Foehn Hot Land by Kelsey, I fell into a brief coma, and then I forgot what happened there. Everything...I don’t know why this is, maybe it’s my brain’s self-protection mechanism? Or maybe something in the Foehn Hot Land has changed my memory?”

"You don't remember at all?"

"Not completely... I still remember the information about all the members of the scientific expedition team, and I even know how they died... but how they ended up, I don't remember."

Ah this...

Shen Muke leaned helplessly on the chair. He felt that his mood had experienced too many ups and downs today.

"Haha, you don't have to be so disappointed. Although I don't remember anything, I had the habit of taking notes and writing diaries. Although I no longer remember that I wrote those words, those things are true. Sex is certain.”

Um?Does this mean that this matter can still be slowed down?

Shen Muke sat up straight and said, "Can you lend me your notes?"

"Don't worry, young man~" Angst waved his hand and said: "Those notes are no longer important to me. To this day, the reason why I still keep them is just for my thoughts. If you are interested, I can give it to you directly! But..." Angst blinked, and the little old man showed a playful smile, "You have to complete your job first."

Shen Muke was awakened by Angst, and he suddenly realized that he was not here to study, but to be a bodyguard.

Shen Muke immediately patted his chest and promised that he would definitely complete the task perfectly and ensure that Senator Angst would not be in any danger.

"Okay, okay, I know you have the strength." Angst agreed: "The candidate Kelsey recommended to me must be an extraordinary person, but what I want to say now is not that there is a problem with your job. But there’s something wrong with your instrumentation!”

Something wrong with the instrument?

Shen Muke was stunned. Angst pointed helplessly at the suit and tie on Shen Muke: "Look at your outfit. People who know it will understand that you are working as a bodyguard. People who don't know will think you are from a funeral parlor." Where is the master of ceremonies! So quickly take off this black and white skin for me!"

ha? ? ?

Chapter 29 The stubbornness of the elderly

meeting in anster

At the urging of the staff, Shen Muke had to put away the slightly old-fashioned suit and change into his black robe embroidered with gold thread patterns and the wizard hat decorated with feathers.

Councilor Angst nodded frequently when he looked at his attire, thinking that he was indeed the one chosen by Kelsey. You don't care whether he is strong or not, just say he is handsome or not! (￣▽￣)

"Brother Agaritu, where did you buy this outfit? Why have I never seen anything like it in the world?"

Councilor Angst usually pays attention to some magazines and fashions, but this is the first time he has seen such a unique robe.

"The Savile Clothesman is made to order by the Savile Clothesmaker in Londinium. They have not put this dress on the market yet, so you have most likely never seen it before." Shen Muke explained.

"Hiss—" Councilor Angster looked at Shen Muke in surprise and said, "Well, then you are quite rich!"

Savile Clothing Makers is a popular clothing brand in Londinium and even Victoria. It is said that they have made dresses for political leaders from various countries. Can Brother Agaritu buy such clothes in advance... Is he so rich?

Shen Muke smiled and said modestly: "No, I just did some small business and made a little money."

"Well...it's amazing. As expected, the people Kelsey likes are not ordinary people."

During the relaxed conversation between the old man and the young man, time passed quickly. After lunch, Angst's butler sent a copy of Congressman Angst's itinerary for the next few days.

Looking at the long list in front of him, Shen Muke was speechless.

"Mr. Angst, let's just say, can we appropriately reduce some outings?"

You are being targeted, so don't run out every now and then. Although I am confident that I can protect you, you still have to give those killers some respect, right?

"What do you mean by that?" Angst raised his eyebrows and said, "I have promised others to go on these trips. How can I break the promise?!"

"Then you should also put your life first. For example, the afternoon tea you had with Mr. Peter this afternoon... I don't think you need to go."

"Mr. Peter is a very generous businessman. He promised me that if the infected community can be successfully established, he will take the lead in investing. How can I refuse his invitation?"

"Then, can you not go to Senator Victor's drinking party tonight?"

"No, no!" Angst shook his head, "Congressman Victor's words in the Caraton Council are very important, and the cocktail party is a good time for me to canvass votes. How can I refute his face!?"

"Then you can take time off from the lectures at Caratton College tomorrow afternoon and the morning after tomorrow, right?"

"You are wrong again, little brother Agaritu, this is my job. I am not just a congressman, I am also a scholar who studies Originium technology and geology. Teaching students is my bounden duty as a scholar. Even if I give up all other invitations and activities, I will never give up on this one!”

“Then can you give up all other invitations and events?”

"No."

Shen Muke covered his face speechlessly. He felt that this little old man was being difficult to deal with.

No wonder Ms. Kelsey said that only she can do this job. Think about it, this little old man’s out-of-the-box thinking and arrogant character are all catastrophic for those who protect him.

But then I thought about it, Senator Angst is really a very charming person.

Are you saying he is stubborn and paranoid?In fact, he is more principled than the average person.

He agreed to other people's invitations, and then everything went smoothly. Moreover, if you think about it carefully, these invitations he agreed to were all for the purpose of establishing a community of infected people and improving the working environment. He used this method to promote his new plan. policy, in order to achieve this goal, at the expense of one's own life.

Shen Muke finally closed his mouth, there was no need for him to say anything more.

"Then, since you insist on going, let me stay with you."

"Ah?" Angst was stunned for a moment, "How do you want to accompany me?"

It's easy!

Shen Muke smiled, then opened his arms, and endless black clouds enveloped his body. When the clouds dissipated, a huge black crow landed on the table.

The crow tilted his head and looked at Mr. Angst, and then said: "How about it? Mr. Angst? Let me stay by your side in this way, so that I can protect you anytime and anywhere."

Angst was stunned for a moment, and then a pair of weather-beaten eyes burst out with burning light: "Are you Agaritu? No, no, no, of course you are Agaritu, I mean, my God, how did you become like this? ?!”

Angst reached out his hand excitedly and let Shen Muke's paws rest on his fingers. The old man's mood at this moment was truly indescribable——

"Look, look at these feathers, these claws...and this kind of movements and expressions that are completely consistent with the real feathered beast. If you don't see it with your own eyes, who can believe it? Who can believe that a big living person can turn into a A little feathered beast?”

Angst carefully stretched out his hand and rubbed Shen Muke's wings. The smooth black feathers were very soft, proving that this feathered beast was not just what it looked like.

"I understand now why Teacher Kelsey asked you to protect me. Some of these unique powers are certainly worthy of her attention!"

Shen Muke was frightened by Angst's exaggerated reaction. He had no idea that his transformation would excite the old man so much.

Councilor Angst pressed his chest and calmed down.

He calmed down and then said: "Brother Agaritu? Can you tell me? How did you become a feathered beast? Are you originally a feathered beast? Or have you become a feathered beast now? This is the source Stone skills? Or racial talent? Is it innate? Or acquired?"

Angst asked a lot of questions at once, making it difficult for Shen Muke to answer them one by one. However, he also realized that as a scholar who studies Origin Stone techniques, it is normal for Angst to be curious about his method.

Just...how to explain this?

Shen Muke's mind was spinning rapidly. Why could he turn into a crow?That's because [Lamer's Transformation Technique], the power that accompanies the awakening of the demon god [Lamer], allows him to freely switch between the human form and the crow form, but how exactly this ability is achieved, he has not really thought about.

He fluttered his wings on Angst's finger in embarrassment, and then replied: "This, should I say, is one of my abilities that I awaken the day after tomorrow?"

To turn into a crow, you don't need to rely on the Source Stone. This is different from [Lamer's City Destroying Magic]. The spell requires the blessing of Source Stone products, but the transformation spell does not.

I was not born with the ability to transform, but gained this power after traveling through time and loading the [Template], so this is most likely not an innate talent, but an ability that is awakened later.

"Isn't it an Origin Stone skill?" Angst seemed a little disappointed.

"It's not Origin Stone skill." Shen Muke affirmed.

Angst reluctantly put him back on the desk and said: "It's a pity. It would be great if it was Origin Stone technology. Then I could start research on this aspect. How many papers would I have to write and how much would it bring to the academic world?" Shocked? Unfortunately, not really."

Shen Muke flapped his wings on the table to signal Angst not to feel down.

"Haha, you little guy, how many surprises do I still have that I don't know about? Ah, as expected, the people who associate with Teacher Kelsey are all very strange characters. It's a shame, I'm too old. If I were still young, I can also walk on this land with Teacher Kelsey... That must be very wonderful..."

Angst's eyes were a little wandering. He seemed to be nostalgic for the past. In those memories, there was himself and his teacher...

"Ah, that's too far!" Angst came back to his senses, smiled, then took out his pocket watch, looked at it and said: "It's already 02:30? Then we should go, we can't keep Mr. Pitt waiting too long ah."

Putting the crow transformed by Shen Muke on his shoulders, Angst picked up his cane and soft hat and was ready to set off.

"Mr. Angst, it's only 02:30. Isn't your agreement three o'clock?"

"Punctuality is a virtue, Brother Agaritu, and we are not going by land vehicle, but walking!"
