Xuantie didn’t know about Bai Jin’s doubts, and even if she knew, she probably wouldn’t say anything.
After all, strictly speaking, this big fuse was just a simulation attempt before the real plan began. They did have a thorough plan to paralyze the city, but they still needed time and opportunities to practice and prepare for what would happen after the city was paralyzed and how to act, so this [Fuse] operation took place.
After the operation is over, they will have collected all the intelligence needed for the plan, and the seemingly insignificant move of "infiltrating Block Zero" will become a crucial move like a pawn crossing the river in the future.
It was just a pity that Roy's appearance was too early. If she had known that he could cause such a big stir and draw the attention of the Business Federation, she should not have pushed Roy onto the stage so early. Now, when the plan really started to be implemented four years later, where would she find such a person? She couldn't just pray for the Knight of Glory to return like lightning, right?
"Ugh."
Thinking of this, Selina couldn't help but sigh.
The old hunter standing at the door, holding a scale beast in his hand, asked:
"What's troubling you so much, Selina?" He winked and asked knowingly, "Roy again?"
Xiao Xuantie turned his head, glanced at him, then turned back, too lazy to answer.
"The decision was mine, and I'm not weak enough to regret it."
It was she who proposed the decision to push Roy to the stage. When Roy officially became a person living in the sun, it was difficult for her to stand with him, unless one day she could also appear in Casimir in another identity.
But that would be at least four years later. With Roy's current popularity in Casimir, and the knights around him who were no less famous or good-looking than herself, how could she expect Roy to wait for her for four years without knowing anything?
What's more, it was a plan whose success rate was not 100%. If it were her, she would definitely not just sit there and wait.
"You didn't go see Roy?"
"No, I'm Xuantie. It's enough for Xuantie to issue orders over the phone. It's better to see him less often."
"You." The old father shook his head helplessly and patted his daughter on the shoulder. "You are stubborn right here."
Well, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Since she has made up her mind, Old Xuantie will not say anything.
"Then let's talk business. There's been some commotion in the rural area recently. A group of reckless bounty hunters seem to be looking for some treasure, and they're acting more and more recklessly. We're all busy, and since you have nothing to do, why don't you go for a walk and relax?"
Speaking of Casimir's treasure, it's not nonsense. After the former Pegasus King was overthrown and Casimir's empire became a republic, many royalist knights and nobles were purged. In order to prevent their property and treasures from falling into the hands of their former enemies, those nobles often built their own treasure houses in various remote areas with few people and buried their treasures, hoping that one day, they could rely on them to make a comeback.
Unfortunately, the Pegasus King failed to recover, the Knights and Nobles were devastated, and most of the treasures fell into the hands of politicians and businessmen. However, it is still possible that a small part of the treasure is still buried deep underground in Casimir, and this has spawned countless expedition teams, bounty hunters, and treasure hunting groups.
The Helmetless Alliance is not just a lackey of the Federation that only pays attention to big cities. While supervising the knights, they have also not forgotten their origins, the vast rural areas of Casimir. However, they usually do not take action personally to avoid being caught by the Federation. It's just that the bounty hunters that appeared this time made too much noise.
Since Qing Jin and Bai Jin are both unable to help, let Selina go out for a walk and solve the problem.
Xiao Xuantie pondered for a moment, did not refuse, and nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing to the decision.
She really should go out for a walk. If she always stayed in the Great Knight Territory, she would see Roy everywhere, and her heart would never be at peace.
...........
"I've been feeling restless lately, Skadi."
The old man with a cane and a tattered cloak, with a dark face, pursed his lips and said,
"I've been a middleman for decades. I've done all kinds of murder and arson, but I've never been so upset. It's like someone is targeting me. Do you have any clues?"
In front of him, a white-haired, frail girl in a neat Agor-style special operations uniform and a pointed long-brimmed hood looked calm. When faced with the boss's question, she answered decisively without any hesitation, "No."
"......Haha, that sounds like your answer." Old Jose was speechless for a moment, then shook his head in relief.
Skadi was very frugal with words, and now that she was willing to answer his questions, it was already proof that their relationship had become a little closer. Thinking back to when he had just picked up Skadi, she drew her sword as soon as she saw him, and didn't even bother to say a word.
Looking at old Jose's self-deprecating expression, Skadi opened his mouth, but chose to close it again.
She didn't know what to say.
Well, I don't know what to say in a physical sense. She really is not very good at speaking, that's the real truth.
As an Agor deep-sea hunter who has come ashore, she just doesn't know the language of land. Although she has learned some recently, it's still too much for her to simply perform tactical tasks and answer questions of good or bad, right or wrong. It's still too much for her to comfort people. She only has one word to comfort people now. She can't just say "I'm sorry", right?
It’s better to say less. If someone really targets them, it doesn’t matter, she will take action.
"Forget it, maybe it's just some boring premonitions, let's not talk about this. Skadi, I have a new commission here, are you interested?"
Skadi turned around, and the unfamiliar words made her tone sound extremely distant: "What?"
Fortunately, Old Jose was already used to Skadi's "cold and indifferent" way of speaking, so he said directly: "About the treasure."
"Old Jose, Old Jose!"
The sudden call interrupted Old Jose's words. The hunchbacked old man frowned slightly, walked out of his team of bounty hunters' camp, and asked the familiar Wasteland Messenger at the door:
"what's up?"
"Someone is looking for you." said the messenger.
"Who?"
"Tolan."
PS: I have otitis media. It feels like there is a piece of paper between my right ear and I feel very uncomfortable. But there is nothing I can do as I cannot leave the school and there is no medicine to treat it on campus.
Alas, yesterday Chongqing added 6500 new cases. I don't know when it will end. These bad things are just one after another. There is nothing I can do. I hope everyone is doing well.
Volume 1: Chapter 89: Mascot Lady is so miserable
Skadi blinked in confusion. Who is Tolan? I have never heard of this name.
She didn't like to have too much contact with the unfamiliar land people. They were always full of malice towards the outside world, always thinking about how to betray and plunder. Dealing with them was more troublesome than letting Skadi chop them off a thousand times.
Looking at the messenger who came back with Old Jose, he refused:
"Can I not see you?"
Such a straightforward refusal made Old Jose stunned and a little embarrassed. He had no choice but to persuade:
"Tolan is one of the more capable and famous bounty hunters in our industry. If you want to find your lost friends, it will be easier with his help."
Although the God-killing War put Hai Si into a silent phase, it also completely destroyed the Deep Sea Hunter. When Skadi, who was washed ashore, woke up on the reef beach, there was no sign of any comrades beside her except the dead limbs of Hai Si. But Skadi never stopped looking for the whereabouts of his teammates, even though they might have all died.
The reason why she joined the bounty hunting profession was not only because it was the only profession she knew how to do in this land and it was one of the few that didn't pay much attention to who you were or where you came from, but also because bounty hunters had unlimited range of activities and could even travel across continents for missions. Better-informed information would also increase her chances of finding teammates.
After hearing what Old Jose said, Skadi had no reason to refuse, so he nodded reluctantly and asked:
"When and where?"
Old Jose said the same thing to the Wasteland Messenger who came to deliver the message.
The messenger withdrew his scrutinizing look at Skadi and replied:
"Three days later, they will arrange for someone to pick you up at the fork in the road leading to the forest near Kavaleraki."
..........
Three days later, Casimir, Kavaleriyaki.
The last match of the quarterfinals, the match between Blood Knight and Wandering Wind Knight, officially ended at noon today. So far, the Casimir Knight Competition Special Championship has officially entered a white-hot stage.
The knights who entered the semi-finals could have the privilege of obtaining a single-word title, and Roy was no exception. As to what Roy's single-word title should be, waves of discussion had been set off on the entire Casimir intercity network.
However, Roy didn't care about these topics that touched the hearts of countless fans and brought in countless traffic. He was more concerned about the meeting with Tolan tonight.
After changing into the No-Hero League's blue-gold uniform that he hadn't worn for a while, Roy took the No-Hero League's secret passage out of the city, bypassed the quarantine gate and left Cavalelia. Outside the city, the bounty hunter who was waiting for him had been waiting for a long time.
"Wow! I didn't expect it to be the Meteor Knight!"
A bounty hunter who was obviously active in the Great Knight's Territory looked Roy up and down and said in amazement. He took out a piece of paper and a pen and wanted Roy to sign his name, but his teammates next to him looked down on him and complained:
"You are such a loser. When did you become a fan of those fake and showy knights?"
His fans were not happy when he said this: "Meteor Knight is not just some fancy trick. I think even our boss wouldn't be able to take a few moves under him."
The other man jumped up immediately upon hearing the sound and put his hand on the hilt of the knife: "Do you want to die if you say that about Boss Tolan?"
"Stop arguing. Whether Tolan can beat me or not, we have to practice to know. What's the point of arguing? Besides, I'm not here to fight with him."
Roy reached out his hand, took the autograph card from the little fan, signed his name on it, and said with a smile:
"Here you go. Thanks for your support."
"Thank you!" The little fan happily took the autograph card and snorted coldly at the black guy next to him.
"You just got an autograph, why are you showing off?" Xiao Heizi said disdainfully.
The little fan just smiled and said, "Do you know how much the Meteor Knight's autograph can fetch in Casimir right now?"
"How much? Three thousand, four thousand?"
"One hundred thousand is the reserve price. A few days ago, an autograph was bought on the black market by a Ms. Filin from Longmen for more than two hundred and eighty thousand!"
"?" Roy was stunned when he heard this. When did my autograph become so valuable? I remember it was only tens of thousands a while ago.
Spending 280,000 for an autograph? And it was made from Longmen film. Could this be the mascot lady?
Seeing that Xiao Heizi looked unconvinced, the little fan explained, "That's not an ordinary signature. To be more precise, His Excellency the Meteor Knight should have written a blessing in Yan Chinese characters, which is why it is so precious. I remember it was something like, 'A harmonious family brings prosperity?'" As he spoke, he looked at Roy and asked for confirmation, "Is that right, Lord Meteor Knight?"
"Well....."
Roy racked his brains but couldn't remember when he had ever written a blessing message saying "A harmonious family brings prosperity".
He did know the Great Yan language and Great Yan characters, and he could even speak and write them more fluently than Casimir, but he could swear that he had never written these things.
Miss Shi Huaiya, did you buy some pirated fake? What a poor mascot.
Sighing, Roy could only say with a bitter face: "I didn't write those words. She might have bought fakes."
At this point, the three people present fell silent at the same time.
Roy looked up at the stars awkwardly. The little fan was speechless and just felt sad for losing such a huge sum of money. However, the expression on Heizi's face was much more interesting.
Spending 280,000 yuan on a fake? Is this signature really that valuable?
You know, these bounty hunters usually live on the edge of a knife and fight with others with their heads on their belts. The reward they can get at most is about 100,000 yuan, and this is not as good as Roy waving his hand and writing two words.
this.....
With a roll of his eyes, he endured the cold winter wind, took off his coat and the shirt underneath, handed them to Roy, and begged:
"Mr. Meteor Knight, can you give me an autograph? I'm your fan!"
So, has the hater turned into a fan? Isn't it too late for the little black guy to hide his chicken feet now?
Roy looked at him with a mixture of laughter and tears. Fortunately, before he could get close to him, Toland's cough in the distance drew everyone's attention back.
"Your Excellency is Roy?"
Tolland asked, emerging from the camp in the clearing in the woods.
"Yes." Roy answered simply.
"You didn't bring them with you?" Tolan had a dangerous look on his face. "Where are the Sarkaz you mentioned?"
"Don't be impatient, wait a moment." Roy said. Before he finished speaking, two distant horn sounds were heard from outside the forest, startling a flock of birds.
"You can arrange for your people to go and take a look. Please note that their condition is not good. It seems that they have been transformed by drugs and their mental state is not stable."
Roy said.
Tolan looked at him silently, signaled to his men around him, and soon the message came back.
"Boss, there are two Sarkaz, each with a broken horn."
"How did you do it?" Tolan couldn't help asking, "My people said that after you left, the quarantine gate that was closed at night was suddenly opened, and the car was allowed to leave the city, and then drove all the way here."
"We agreed not to ask. Besides, can't you guess it?"
Roy smiled.
Tolan looked at his familiar outfit, was silent for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
The clothing of the Helmetless Alliance. As a bounty hunter who has been active in the rural areas of Casimir for a long time, how could he not know the Helmetless Alliance that originated in the countryside?
Although it is impossible to tell what level he is at, judging from Roy's skills and his relaxed attitude, his level is not low.
Mauna, Mauna, you really gave me a good job, even the No-Hero Alliance was recruited here.
Seeing that Tolan had "understood", Roy felt at ease and turned off the [Kal'tsit's Riddle] module and returned to normal.
The corruption and decay were not sent through the channels of the Wuzhou League, but through the channels of the Business Federation. This was one of the three conditions that Roy proposed to Charne after he was assassinated by Ice Cream on the street. The reason why he would rather expose the identity of the Wuzhou League and conceal his channels in the Business Federation was that it was not easy to hide it from Tolan, who had been in the Wuzhou League's activity area for a long time and had dealt with the Wuzhou League. It was also easy to be spoiled by Maenna, who also knew his big identity, so he simply didn't act. The second reason was that Roy needed to raise his "strength" in Tolan's eyes.
Cooperating with the Business Federation may be much higher in the eyes of the city people than the senior staff of the Wuzhou League, but for the people outside the city, it is just the opposite. After all, they value strength more, and the Wuzhou League is strength.
"So, have I brought the person I was looking for?"
Roy suppressed his expectations and asked calmly.
"Of course, come with me."
Tolan was not vague either. He stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation to Roy.
