This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 157 The Book of Blessings

After 23 hours, Zhou Li and Elma arrived at their destination - Jordan, the capital of southern England.

After getting off the airship, Zhou Li grabbed the dazed Elma with one hand and came to the VIP lounge.Facing the oncoming captain, Zhou Li took out a card engraved with platinum characters from his inner pocket and handed it to him, and said to him with a smile: "Keep the account."

"what?"

The captain of the airship glanced at the personal seal of Magnum III in his hand, and was immediately dumbfounded.

"Don't be afraid, this seal is real."

Zhou Li patted the captain on the shoulder, signaling him not to worry: "I shoved it out of Magnum III's pocket with my own hands, there can be no fake."

I am even more afraid!

The captain who didn't dare to directly express his attitude smiled hypocritically, greeted Zhou Li, and then quickly ran towards the airship behind him, for fear of delaying his time to deliver the emperor's seal.

"No wonder... Ha~~~ Zhou Li wants to charter such a good spaceship."

The ignorant and sleepy Elma yawned delicately, then grabbed Zhou Li's clothes with her backhand, and said to Zhou Li in a soft voice, "What are we going to do first?"

"Change clothes."

"Ugh?"

As soon as she said this, Elma suddenly felt relieved, she raised her head, with surprise in her deer-like eyes, "Are you going to change your clothes?"

Ashamed to say, as a brave man and a new age vampire, Zhou Li only has a few sets of clothes in his closet.For Zhou Li, the brave man on his waist is his face.With this thing, even if he went to the high-class party naked, the group of nobles would not dare to fart, and they had to take off their clothes enthusiastically to create a harmonious environment for Zhou Li.

Therefore, Zhou Li's words of changing clothes brought Elma a mental shock, no less than Zhou Li's one day saying that he would live in harmony with Magnum III.She stared blankly at Zhou Li, but soon, Elma immediately became happy.

"Well, Zhou Li, you have a very good figure, and you can look good in anything you wear."

Just short of writing the words "I miss Kangkang" on her face, Elma, who has always been used to Zhou Li's black suit, suddenly became excited.She tugged at the corner of Zhou Li's clothes, her mental state was not at all like the sleepy one just now.

"Okay, let's go."

Zhou Li took Elma to the luxury hotel he had already contacted, and they arrived at the reserved room. The clothes that Zhou Li had already purchased and arranged were neatly placed in front of the two of them.

"This set is yours."

Zhou Li handed a set of brown clothes to Elma.

"Oh? Is there still mine??"

Elma took the suit, slightly surprised, but obediently took the clothes and went to her room.

A few minutes later, a completely new Elma walked out of the room.She put on a brown knee-length plaid dress, which she paired with a standard British red coat, which looked mature and playful.Elma raised her head slightly, and the small knitted soft hat covered her long azure blue hair, trembling slightly with her movements.

"Zhou Li, what kind of clothes is this? It's quite pretty...huh????"

Black windbreaker, white shirt, leather shoes.

"Didn't you change nothing?!?!"

Facing Zhou Li's outfit which couldn't be said to be completely different from just now, but it can also be said to be exactly the same, Elma immediately protested: "I agreed to change clothes, I changed them, why are you still in this way?? "

"I said change clothes, but didn't say I change clothes."

Zhou Li buttoned up his shirt, tightened his tie and said to Elma, "And don't be embarrassed, I've changed some clothes."

"Didn't you see that I changed into a shirt with a stand collar?"

Elma, who was already unable to complain, waved her hand, her original expectation turned into disappointment, she glanced at Zhou Li full of resentment, then resumed her optimistic appearance, and said to Zhou Li with a little excitement: "Then we are Isn't it time to go eat?"

"It's okay to eat."

Elma noticed that after hearing the word "eat", Zhou Li's eyes changed visible to the naked eye, "But before that, I have to tell you one thing."

"I'm going to hide my identity."

**************************************************
As the capital of the second most powerful country in the world, Jordan has always been the pride and glory of the entire British South.In addition to the birthplace of Yingnan being Jordan, there is another very important reason - the Gospel.

In Jordan, there is a wonder that is unique in the world.In a city-state with a population of tens of millions, 50.00% of Jordanian residents are professionals.In this world, the identity of a professional needs to be bestowed by the corresponding professional guild. People without talent cannot become professionals.

What breaks this rule is a gospel that claims to be "the gospel given by the gods".According to Yingnan's official statement, the Gospel has brought equality and freedom to the entire Yingnan, and it is the foundation of Yingnan's country.Yingnan declared that all those who read the Gospel will listen to the guidance of the gods and become professionals who spread the Gospel.

Therefore, Yingnan is the second country in the entire world to mass-produce non-combat professionals.Philosophers, inventors, and artists, these non-combat occupations that have spread widely in later generations and are widely known to outsiders, are mostly the first to be popularized in southern England.This also directly led to Yingnan being the first to overthrow the feudal system and establish a parliamentary country.The emergence of inventors allowed Yingnan to vigorously develop the machinery industry and forge a unique steel torrent army.And Yingnan's humanistic thoughts also have the most profound influence on the whole world.

"Of course, Yingnan is also the first country to use the skulls of the aborigines in the colonies as bowls."

Jordan, known as the capital of fog, has a very complex terrain, with surprisingly many alleys and paths.In a deep alley, Zhou Li took Elma for a walk in the drizzle.

"How cruel."

Hearing that, Elma sighed.

"uh-huh."

Zhou Li shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "In fact, the three disasters that swept the world killed human beings far less than the wars between human beings. Sometimes, the direct killing of the same kind is often the most cruel. unchanging truth."

"Yes."

Elma didn't lament the dark side of human beings, nor did she angrily reprimand those behaviors, she just sighed slightly sadly, and then stopped talking.

"arrive."

After a while, Zhou Li and Elma stopped in front of a magnificent building.He put the black umbrella he used to pretend in the hands of the waiter, then took out a gold-encrusted pipe from his pocket, and put it in his mouth.

"Don't you know how to smoke?"

In the corridor of the building, Elma moved closer to Zhou Li and asked in a low voice.

"really."

Zhou Li took a puff of black mist, exhaled it, and then said with a sneer, "So I'm going to give some people some second-hand smoke."

Are the two related?

On the surface, the dignified and generous Elma followed Zhou Li to the second floor of the building with a foggy head.It is clear that the second floor of the building is a high-end meeting place.In front of the gate carved with bronze patterns, an attendant in a tuxedo came up and said respectfully to Zhou Li:

"Hi sir, welcome to the Gulag Hotel."

"Is it time for Sir Mintz's banquet?"

At this time, Zhou Li was like a low-key and restrained British gentleman, with a magnetic voice: "My name is Folders, and this is my assistant Hua Kai. I am a detective from Newt, and Sir Mintz invited me to join his banquet."

"Okay, do you have an invitation?"

Faced with the attendant's question, Zhou Li frowned, and asked in confusion: "Sir Mintz told me that no invitation is needed to enter the banquet."

"Ah, special guests really don't need invitations."

The attendant suddenly realized that Zhou Li was neatly dressed and very elegant, and the woman beside him was even more beautiful. He saw that this person was a standard Shangsanqi old Yingnan nobleman.Afraid of neglecting the honored guest, the attendant briefly checked Zhou Li's ID and put the two into the banquet.

"Hey, Zhou Li, who is Duke Mintz?"

"An old aristocrat in southern England."

According to Yingnan's rules, Zhou Li handed over the cane to the attendants, and at the same time signaled that he was not carrying a gun before entering the banquet.He took double the amount of champagne and handed Elma a glass.

"Did he invite us?"

Faced with Elma's question, after taking a sip of champagne and pouring the rest into the flower pot, Zhou Li whispered to Elma, "Of course not."

"really."

Already developed a good habit of not being surprised when things change, Elma is not surprised by Zhou Li's behavior.She smiled and took the Yingnan chocolate pie from the hand of the maid beside her, and then asked in a low voice, "What are we here for? Just to eat?"

"We are here this time, apart from looking for investment negotiations with those chambers of commerce and nobles, we also have another purpose."

Zhou Li leaned against the window sill, looked at the elegant men and women who stood up on the dance floor, narrowed his eyes, and said softly: "I am very curious about the Gospel."

"what???"

Alma suddenly looked at Zhou Li in surprise, then covered her mouth, poked her head to confirm that she hadn't been noticed, and said eagerly to Zhou Li: "You put your mind on the Gospel?"

"Ah."

Zhou Li knocked on the window sill and made a dull voice: "It can give other people the status of a professional... The Gospel should be more than that."

Actually, Zhou Li didn't say the whole thing.His main purpose for reaching out to the Gospels was Elma.

In Mr. Muqi's last message to him, Mr. Muqi told Zhou Li that Elma's soul is not complete, and it is even possible that half of her soul is missing.

People in this world lose one-third of their souls, and their bodies will gradually collapse.Mr. Mu Qi, who cut most of his soul, also used soul wood to maintain his body, and used professional ability to stabilize his body to avoid death.Under the premise of missing half of the soul, Elma has no abnormalities, which is a miracle anywhere.

Mr. Mu Qi told Zhou Li that it is difficult to maintain Elma's current state. Sooner or later, Elma will die because of the vacancy in her soul.In the last lesson of life, Mr. Mu Qi left a hope for Zhou Li.

LLL.

In the last message, Mr. Mu Qi told Zhou Li that when he was studying the soul, he was invited by Jordan in southern England for an academic exchange.At the exchange meeting, Mr. Muqi, who has not yet become the leader of Muqi, received an invitation from Yingnan.The mayor of Yingnan's Jordan said that as long as Mr. Muqi is willing to work for Yingnan, Yingnan will let him face the illusory soul and let him see the truth of the soul.

For the sake of his own country, Mr. Muqi flatly refused the invitation.Yingnan was also generous and didn't say much, but told Mr. Mu Qi that he could contact Yingnan at any time if he needed it in the future.It was a coincidence that Mr. Munch really noticed the Gospel.

"This is the hotel where Mr. Muqi once stayed."

Zhou Li pointed to this splendid hotel, and said to Elma beside him: "Once, Mr. Muqi received several high-achieving students from Jordan University in the hotel. These talented students asked Mr. Muqi a lot about A problem of the soul. During the conversation, Mr. Mookie discovered something."

"Among those high-achieving students, there is a boy whose soul seems to be unusual."

The dance party reached a fever pitch, and many people began to look for their own dance partners.Zhou Li had been leaning on the window sill for a long time, and continued to Alma who was listening: "The boy's name is Most, and he is a top talent in dual disciplines of biology and soul. When exchanging souls, Mr. An ability he just learned. When the ability was being used, Mr. Muqi found that this boy named Mostert seemed to have a part of his soul that did not belong to him."

"Later, Mr. Munch found Most and asked him if he had encountered any incidents related to the soul. Most hesitated and ambiguous about this. However, when Most couldn't stand Mr. Mudge's inquiry, When it seemed that the truth was about to be confessed, the Jordanian Defense Forces suddenly appeared and took Moster away."

"what?"

Elma on the side opened her mouth slightly, as if thinking of something, she asked Zhou Li, "Is there any connection between Most and Yingnan's state secrets?"

"It's possible, but unlikely."

Zhou Li shook his head and continued: "Most didn't disappear, he returned to school the next day to continue his classes. But Mr. Muqi quickly realized that something was wrong, and Moster completely forgot the conversation that night, I also forgot what he had communicated with Mr. Muqi."

"But Mr. Muqi traced to his home through the clues left by Most before he was taken away by the defense forces. In Moster's home, Mr. Muqi found a sentence."

"The Book of Fojo...the operating table of the soul."

The moment Zhou Li said these words, the lights dimmed instantly.Thick fog penetrated the wall and filled the banquet venue, and soon, darkness fell.

The next second, the wolf howled.In the moonlight outside the window, a silver monster with a wolf head, sharp claws, and a human body slowly stepped out of the shadows, and what he was holding in his hand was the head of the protagonist of this banquet.

Duke Mintz.
