She couldn't understand how the guy who looked most like the leader among the three could come out from there.
"Good morning, gentlemen."
Li Ang straightened his collar with both hands.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to know more about the 'Mechanical Kingdom'..."
"catch him!"
The muscular man pointed at Li Ang - even if he was slow to react, he should have realized that he was one of the "spies"!
Li Ang also turned around and ran!
Just kidding, he is not making a fool of himself here to be cool, but to delay time and make a big noise to alert his companions.
A group of people rushed towards him with strange shouts, but he knocked down three of them with three punches and two kicks, and his body rushed back into the room.
When the strong bear man and his men rushed in, all they saw was an open window and a piece of torn bed sheet tied to the window sill.
"It's professional!" The gloomy man couldn't help but sigh.
"We can't let him go!" the bear man roared.
"Take your men upstairs! I'll go down and chase them!"
"it is good!"
After all the chaos, Ge Lan was left standing there in a daze.
"rustle--"
Hearing the noise, she turned around blankly and watched Li Ang pull the bed sheet up from the window, clapped his hands, and sat down on the bed facing her calmly.
He was still as kind as ever, but the difference was that he had a black metal object in his hand, and the end of the tube was aimed at her.
"So about the 'Mechanical Kingdom'."
Li Ang tilted his head.
"Can we talk now?"
Chapter 47: Separate Actions
This person is really too bold.
With eyes wide open, Ge Lan looked out the window and then at the corridor. He was a little bit unbelievable. When Leon had the chance, he didn't run away immediately, but did the opposite and returned to this most dangerous place to question him.
"You recognize this thing, right?" Leon was a little impatient. He was indeed taking a risk, and every second was precious. "Do you need me to make a hole in you to prove that it's not just a fake?"
"No no... sir..." Grant quickly took a step back and raised his hands to protect himself.
Seeing that Leon was not moved at all, she took a breath and said, "Okay - I reported you to them, but you took such a big risk to stay just to ask me what the Mechanical Kingdom is. It seems that I guessed your identity wrongly."
"I'm pressed for time, just tell me what it is."
"It is a kingdom," said Grant, "a real kingdom with subjects, rulers, a mature political system, and a powerful army!"
"Sarah?" Leon frowned.
"No!" Grant denied quickly, "The Sara people are not that powerful!"
She looked at the man in front of her puzzledly, not understanding who he was.
If he doesn't know about the Mechanical Kingdom, then he definitely doesn't know anything about the war with the Mechanical Kingdom, which means that the three of them did not escape from the Gray Fog Area.
But his accent didn't lean towards Sara, and how could Sara people sneak over here by bypassing the coastal guards? Didn't they say that there was always a fleet patrolling the North Sea Cape?
"I don't know why you want to know this." After thinking for a while, Grant slowly shook his head and said, "What I can tell you is that... the Mechanical Kingdom is now at war with the Corrupted Blood Kingdom. Both sides are countries in the Gray Mist World. They both have military means far beyond the old era. And I have always suspected that... the abnormality in Ivenria is because someone from the Corrupted Blood Kingdom is secretly causing trouble."
"What is the Corrupted Blood Kingdom?" Li Ang said, slightly faster, "Do you really understand what the 'Kingdom of God' is?"
Kingdom of God...The last time I heard or saw a similar name was in religious texts, which recorded the "Kingdom of the Sun God."
This suffix is not given casually. At the very least, it must be a holy place blessed by the gods to be called this.
Li Ang felt absurd. Could it be that there are true gods behind these two countries? Combined with what Ge Lan said, they are all in the gray fog world... Is this gray fog world referring to Aisha Continent? Or is it the place where the gray fog connects? Is the so-called true god the evil god?
The most difficult thing for him to understand was the Mechanical Kingdom. If the term "corrupted blood" sounded a bit like the style of the evil gods, then the Mechanical Kingdom - machines, those deformed and disgusting evil gods would be willing to study this?
He forced Gran to tell him everything she knew, and gradually filled in some of the confusing puzzle pieces.
The truth is exaggerated. According to Glenn, the gray fog world should refer to the world across the gray fog sea to the south of Goli, or even farther east... He thinks this is most likely the Elsa continent, and the war between the two kingdoms of God took place there.
But Gran denied that they were "heretics". She said that was the saying of the old era. The so-called old era referred to the former Goli and the Icarolin continent across the North Sea. She also said that this was "something that anyone with a little bit of channels knew", "Everyone is waiting for the winner of this war", "King Oman has been keeping his troops on hold and concealing the news probably because he wants to follow the winner", "The kingdom of God that ultimately wins will rule everything, and then the blessings of the gray fog will also spread to Iverria."
"What about you?" Leon asked her, "You said you wanted to leave Ivanria, were you lying to us?"
"If I tell you now, will you believe me?" Ge Lan asked him with a twinkling look in her eyes while stroking her braid.
"At such a young age, your thoughts are so hard to guess..."
"If I hadn't been like this, I would have died long ago!" Ge Lan narrowed his eyes, rarely showing a bit of incompetence, "You are also a 'normal person', don't you understand how horrible this place is right now? I don't have what you have, how can I survive except by pretending and deceiving? Tell me?"
"This is not a reason for you to betray us." Li Ang slowly retreated with his gun, "But I won't kill you for now. Just wait, our people will look for you again."
"Wait?" Ge Lan quickly moved forward after vaguely sensing his intention.
But it was too late. The man pulled the bed sheet down through the window. Ge Lan leaned over to look and saw him leap into the street and disappear from his sight.
This time he really left.
"What's going on?" There were footsteps behind him. The burly man rushed in yelling and pulled Ge Lan away from where he was lying. "He jumped again, didn't he? This damn rat is really good at hiding!"
"You!" He glared at Ge Lan, "What did he ask you?"
Ge Lan instinctively wanted to tell the truth, but she suddenly remembered what Li Ang said to her before he left.
[Our people will look for you again...]
"He asked me about the Mechanical Kingdom." She said with her head lowered.
"How did you answer!?"
"I said I don't know!" Grant looked up, looking panicked and reasonable. "Of course I don't know - what can I know!"
"That's true." The muscular man touched his chin and nodded, "You are just a small boss lady of a chain store. Your report is bullshit..."
Then the gloomy man also came back with his team. The two of them talked in low voices in the corridor for a while. He told Ge Lan to keep an eye on the movements of the three people at all times, and then he dispersed with his men.
A few hours passed and the clock struck afternoon.
In an alley not too far from the Lima Hotel, Leon Cornerell, who had taken off his disguise and revealed his original appearance, was waved away by a group of soldiers.
These people were holding his sketches. Of course, the face in the portrait was a disguise. When he changed his face to his original appearance and changed his clothes, these people would not recognize him.
Li Ang deliberately stayed there for a while, spent a little money to bribe the soldiers and asked about the latest situation in the city. This move successfully made him be mistaken for a merchant from other regions, and he obtained a lot of information.
Then he didn't delay any further. He made a circle and came to the refugee camp behind. He stepped over the sewage, beggars and the corpses of unknown animals, and bent down to crawl into a dilapidated tent.
Darent and Baliu were hiding inside. Unlike him who had returned to his true form, these two were still wearing camouflage masks.
"They are checking very strictly." Li Ang glanced outside to make sure no one was eavesdropping. "If you don't take off your masks, you won't be able to move forward."
"Did Grant really leave you a letter?"
"That's right." Li Ang took out the letter from his arms and shook it gently. "It seems that she was not lying when she said she wanted to leave."
"There should be many cities like her where the cognition has not been tampered with." Bariwu exhaled, "What a pity... The first mission is not to save people."
Several people unfolded the letter and passed it back and forth, and began to discuss the value of the collected intelligence.
"So Eclipse has been doing this to Elsa and hasn't shown up yet?" Daelent sighed, "The two great kingdoms... those looted people... isn't this an internal conflict between them?"
"It is very likely that there are evil gods behind both kingdoms of God." Baliu said in a serious tone, "Even if it is an internal conflict, it is not good news for us - it means that those things can already cross space and affect here!"
What she told Li Ang was not comprehensive, so Ge Lan supplemented a lot of it in the letter, basically telling everything she knew.
As for how she knew, according to her, a proprietress who can run a hotel chain must have her own information channels.
"She saw that we are not from the two great kingdoms, nor from the gray fog world, so she wanted to take a gamble and let us take her away." Li Ang shook his head. "What do you think?"
"I don't trust her." Baliu said immediately, "But she is still useful."
"That's it." Leon threw the letter to Darent, "Mapus takes this and the monkey back to the Pierre, and Bariu and I will stay and play with them."
"A monkey? Do you want to bring that too?"
"She is the mysterious master." Li Ang whispered.
"No matter what happened to Aisha, at least she mastered their extraordinary system before anyone else."
"Show her the monkey."
"Hopefully she'll find something."
Chapter 48: Secret Code in the Letter
Waking up from his drowsiness, Hitzfeld suddenly felt aches all over his body.
It was all her fault that she had developed an inappropriate curiosity about some kind of ointment or perfume, and applied it to some places that were difficult to describe in words according to Alwin's description.
She had originally intended to test the effect, but she didn't expect that someone would go crazy after smelling the fragrance after returning, leaving her no room to resist.
She really had no reason to refuse. Considering that she didn't need to worry about anything during the docking, Hitzfeld resisted for a while and then let go. From resistance at the beginning to obedience, it was a crazy experience. It helped her to ease the tense nerves caused by the long voyage.
The room seemed a little dim. Through the round window beside the bed, she could vaguely see the moonlight on the water. She estimated that it was already past ten o'clock.
Turning on the light, I saw Xia Yibing's exposed round shoulders.
The woman obviously didn't get enough rest. She twisted a few times while holding her from the front, her eyelashes trembling. She was obviously awake but didn't want to open her eyes.
"Aren't you hungry?" Hitzfeld asked her, looking down at her.
"Hmm..." The woman arched her head in her arms like a kitten, muttering, "I'll be full if I eat you..."
"???" Hitzfeld blushed and began to doubt whether there were any special ingredients in the ointments and perfumes. Can that stuff really be eaten as a meal?
But she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore, so she dragged Xia Yibing out of bed and put on her clothes first.
The woman was very unhappy. She held the quilt in her arms in a daze and sat there without moving until Hitzfeld put on his socks.
"You want me to help you put it on, right?" Hitzfeld glanced at her.
How can I have the nerve to act like that? Someone who doesn't know would think I did something to her... Can you please have some shame?
"Oh, you want to help me put it on, right?" Xia Yibing said excitedly, "Sure, come on."
"It's too small." He muttered to himself, and looked up to see that there was no movement on the bed. Hitzfeld had no choice but to find a few sets of women's clothes and climb onto the bed, helping her to dress step by step.
"Comfortable~" Xia Yibing was happy. "In fact, sometimes I can't help but think that we can just drive this thing around the world... There's nothing better than this."
She was serious, and she was very grateful to Alvin for giving her this opportunity. Although the mission was difficult just by listening to the description, if you think about it from another perspective, it was just a honeymoon at public expense.
"You'd better not let anyone else hear you say this." Hitzfeld warned her, "Otherwise your credibility and dignity will rot, and no one will admire you anymore."
She was very sure that it was not an illusion - when Xia was with her, as the time they spent together increased, Xia's motivation and intelligence would rapidly decline.
To put it simply, it's as if she has aged. A woman who was once very strong-willed, gradually, gradually, could not eat by herself, drink water by herself, or dress herself. She even had to go shopping and be served everything.
As for her, she herself knew that it was not impossible for her to do it, but she acted very confidently.
"You feed me, and I eat better."
"You feed me this water, it's sweeter."
"You dress me and choose the right clothes for me, which means I belong to you completely."
"This is a sign of my trust in you - you should be proud!"
Hitzfeld couldn't argue with her on the wrong theory, and every time he argued, he ended up failing. He could only give her the most caring care as required - he was almost like a sanitary product sticking to her.
"Worship me... Are you referring to Madeline?" Xia Yibing frowned, "Did she say anything to you?"
"She said that as the leader of the Shadow Lion, you should be restrained." Hitzfeld stood by the bed and adjusted her collar. He rolled his eyes at her and said, "You don't want me to carry you to pee, do you?"
Imagining the scene of a beautiful woman with a cheerful and mature appearance being held and helped to pee by him like a little kid, Hitzfeld couldn't help but smile.
No matter how I think about it, it feels so awkward.
"Of course not!" Xia Yibing was rarely ashamed, her face turned red, and her charming eyes were incredibly charming under the red glow, "What a mess... Aisuen! You've learned bad things!"
"Go pee if you need to." Hitzfeld pointed to the bathroom. "After you wash up, go eat. After you eat, I'll tell you business."
After sending Director Xia away, the girl made her bed alone.
