Edge of the Apocalypse

The First Thousand and Twenty-Nine Chapters Clever Name

"In this way, the eldest lady of the Boleyn family has really left?" In a clothing store on Avenue 1, Lucy picked up a dark red dress that was the most popular in the Empire this year hanging on the wall, and pasted it. Turning a circle on himself, he asked, "Does it look good?"

Allen nodded. This skirt has a dark red background, with black lace trim, and the fluffy treatment of the skirt, which looks noble and generous. This article is written by . . But the price of a dress like this won't be too low, at least two hundred gold coins is not something that just anyone can afford.

Lucy put down her skirt, turned around Allen and squinted her eyes: "Then you are not very sorry now, she is a young lady. Just let her run away like this."

Allen spread his hands and said, "Of course I'm sorry, that lady still owes me a lot of money."

Lucy rolled her eyes and pulled Alan out of the clothing store. They have stayed in Sardinia for a few days, and Sean has gained a lot these days. In addition to a lot of orders for weapons, it has also reached cooperation intentions with other chambers of commerce in many aspects such as food, textiles, and raw ore. Even under Edward's behest, Sean intentionally or unintentionally revealed the North-South trade route, and many businessmen showed interest.

The trip to Sardinia was smoother than expected, after all, it was due to Silin's attitude. Originally, both he and Edward thought that Sling would embarrass them because of the Black Feather matter, but he didn't expect that instead of being a hindrance, he also vigorously promoted the cooperation between the business community of Sardinia and Alan. This approach is a bit amusing. But in any case, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is beneficial to Allen's side, and it is not difficult to see from Mark's visit that although the upper echelons of the empire in the northern border are undercurrents, they are not all enemies.

Staying in the city for the past few days, Sean and his businessmen are the busiest, and Alan rarely has leisure. Except for attending a few banquets arranged by Silin, the rest of the time is spent on nurturing Yuanli. Today, Lucy pulled them out to go shopping, and the two wandered aimlessly, wherever they went. This is a rare happy time for the two of them, exactly what that sentence said. To really love someone is not to say "I love you" to her often. It's where she goes, where I am.

Lucy stopped at a grocery store, not knowing what caught her eye. Allen watched her squatting down by the small stall in front of the store, which was full of strange things. Such as masks with strange patterns, incomplete animal teeth, broken swords, or only half of animal skulls, etc. Lucy picked out a metal hexahedron from the inside, squinted her eyes, then pressed the upper and lower cubes with her hands, and turned them in different directions, and a hidden grid popped up in the middle.

At this time, the owner of the grocery store came out and said with a smile: "Miss, do you like it? This is a gadget I bought from an adventurer. I heard that it was unearthed from the blood king's cemetery. It's just that there is no research on it." Value, the investigation of the empire will not accept it. I bought it for a little money, and if the lady likes it, I can sell it to you for two gold coins."

Lucy took out a gold coin from the purse and threw it to the boss, "This thing is covered with a layer of dust, I think it's been a while since you were let go.

Just sell it to me for a gold coin, otherwise, I don't know how long it will be kept. "

The boss smiled wryly and shook his head, and said, "Miss's vision is really accurate, well, it's an honor for this small shop to have a beautiful lady like you here, so I'll sell it to you."

Lucy tossed the metal cube and walked back. Alan glanced at it, and saw that it was already covered with dark green rust. He frowned and said, "Why don't I know, you like such things?"

"Didn't you hear what the boss said? It's from the Blood King's Cemetery." Lucy squinted the cube and said, "Have you ever thought that the Blood King's Cemetery might be the same as the King Snake Base?" relics.

Allen understood immediately, and whispered: "You mean, the Blood King Cemetery may be a product of the Golden Tree Project?"

"It's not impossible. Think about it, if the Kingsnake base in the highlands is discovered by the empire, it should also be classified as an ancient relic. However, the scale of the Blood King Cemetery is much larger than the Kingsnake base. If the same It belongs to the base in the Golden Tree Project, so its importance must be higher than that of the King Snake Base." Lucy said, turning the cube in her hand.

Allen raised his forehead: "A King Snake Base hides a monster like the Queen. It's hard for me to imagine how many terrifying things there are in the Blood King's Cemetery, let alone what you were studying on Heaven Star .”

"Who knows, I'm afraid even my father doesn't know about this matter. I asked him before, and he didn't seem to know about the Golden Tree Project. I couldn't find any clues in the Royal Library, after all, it is golden. The era of Qiangwei is too far away from now. I am afraid that the truth has long been lost in the long river of history."

Seeing that it was getting late, the two returned to Feixiang Hotel. In front of Hall No. 6, a group of people can be seen from a distance, and even a group of soldiers from the Buck Army can be seen. The gate of Hall No. 6 was blocked by a row of Mountain King fighters, who seemed to be confronting the Bucks. Alan frowned, and brought Lucy closer, when he heard a man in the crowd yelling: "You are so bold, even our munitions department dared to stop you, and you are just a group of country bumpkins from the border !"

Allen sneered when he heard the words: "What is the Quartermaster Department, get out of the way."

He took a step forward, and the faces of several Buck Army soldiers standing in front of him turned pale, subconsciously getting out of the way. So Allen saw an official in a black uniform yelling arrogantly towards Edward. Hearing what Allen said, he turned around with anger on his face and was about to explode. When he saw the appearance of the person in front of him, he probably knew Alan's identity, and abruptly swallowed back the words that rushed to his lips. Pretending to cough twice, he said, "This must be Sir Allen."

"It's good to know, talk about things quickly, and fart quickly. Then call me back wherever you came from." Allen said mercilessly.

The official's face turned blue and purple, and he took out a document from his body with a sneer, and handed it to Allen, "Please have a look at it, Viscount Allen, and follow the order of Lord Diwen, the director of the Military Supplies Department. According to the Imperial Constitution, we will collect Your Thunder Wolf rifle and other related weapons. Of course, it is not a free collection, and the Munitions Department will pay the Viscount a compensation."

"Oh? That's interesting. Why haven't I heard that in the Imperial Constitution, there is a piece of equipment that can be forcibly confiscated, and it's still my equipment." Allen looked at Edward and asked, "Have you heard of it?"

Edward said indifferently: "There is such a clause in the imperial constitution that expropriates equipment."

The officials of the Quartermaster Division immediately raised their heads, and Edward added a sentence indifferently: "However, the article pointed out that there is a prerequisite for the forced acquisition of equipment, that is, the owner of the equipment has violated the criminal laws of the empire, such as treason, murder of imperial officials, or violation of the territory. Those who are incapable of management. The empire can confiscate its equipment, troops, and other related properties according to law. But the execution party is not the military supplies department, but the Imperial Oversight Council.”

Alan nods, two

Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the official document. When he let go of his hand, the official document had already turned into ashes. The officer from the Quartermaster Department blushed, pointed at Allen's nose and shouted, "Are you crazy? You are blatantly disobeying orders! Someone, put him..."

He wanted to ask the soldiers to take Alan down, but suddenly he thought that the other party was a Viscount of the Empire. In the entire city of Sardinia, I am afraid that only General Sling has the right to do so. At this time, Allen grabbed his finger with one hand and pressed it hard, and the official immediately screamed like a pig. And following Allen's pressing action, he had to squat down so that his fingers would not be broken by Allen. Allen looked at him with a sneer and said, "Don't play tricks with me. I don't know what your munitions department is paying attention to, but if you want to pretend to eat my equipment, there is no way. Go back and tell you what kind of Director Di Wen, if at night If he doesn't roll over and give me a satisfactory explanation, tell him to wait for me at home. Waiting for me to come to ask in person tomorrow, if I just let me visit in person, I'm afraid your director will not be so happy. "

Then Allen let him go, and without looking at the man on the ground, he led Lucy, Edward and others into the gate. The officer of the munitions department blushed, stared hard at the gate, and led the people away in a despondent manner.

The whole process fell into two pairs of eyes. It was in a room on the third floor of another hotel, opposite Hall No. 6. Slim and Fat Peter were standing by the window, the general was expressionless, and Fat Peter was smiling wryly. Watching the people from the Quartermaster Department leave, Fat Peter sighed: "Sir Allen seems to be a good talker these days. I didn't expect him to be so tough, and he didn't pay attention to the Quartermaster Department at all. Even a few scene words Without saying anything, I just sent them back."

Slin snorted and said, "That's all you can think of. Disclose the news about the Thunder Wolf rifle to Diwen, and then let me hint him to collect the equipment, and then you can smooth things over. Peter, you have a good idea. Firstly, to earn the goodwill of that jazz, and secondly, to set up a munitions department to suppress him, so that he can only sell the equipment to you invisibly, so that you have monopolized the Thunder Wolf rifle market with one hand. But now? , It’s self-defeating. I have to appease Diwen, lest he really offend that one by his ignorance.”

"Don't you think about it, the person who dares to poke a hole in the dark land will be a fuel-efficient lamp?"

Fat Peter said angrily, "Then why didn't you object when I suggested it?"

Slin said unhurriedly: "If you don't let you experience it yourself, how can you learn to be good. That knight's wrist is more powerful than you and I imagined. Otherwise, why do you think I tolerated him in every possible way, even I also took the initiative to take the lead and let the few of you meet with him. My black feather will be ruined in the hands of this lord, but with my strength, I can't move him at all, and it will make him feel fishy."

"Let's leave it to the adults in the north to deal with such difficult characters."

Fat Peter laughed: "I said, how did you, old Slin, become a shrinking turtle? It turned out to be like this. There is no one else here, otherwise you can tell me honestly whether the batch of equipment bought for old Mark is yours or not. ?”

Silin sneered: "It's a joke. Although I am the general of the Bucks Army, I am not able to call out two hundred elite cavalry casually. What's more, two hundred people never return. How do you ask me to explain such a big hole to the imperial department?"

"In that case, someone else wants that lord's life."

"It's natural. I'm definitely not the only one who suffers from the dark place alone."
