Chapter 385 False Peace
"Take it easy, it hurts!"
The dinner party was over, and in the assigned stone room, Regis took off his shirt, with some bruised fist marks on his body. Belmode was giving him medicine to reduce the swelling, but Regis was surprisingly afraid of pain, which made the man who was already very lightly hit a little helpless.
"They are also Beth Keld's young masters, and Master Regis is particularly afraid of pain." Belmode shook his head.
Regis snorted, "You mean, Allen is better than me?"
"At least I didn't hear Master Allen barking like you when he was taking medicine."
"Tch, I bet that guy is just suffering for the sake of his image. How can he not be in pain? He's not a monster."
"I, it does hurt." Allen walked in from the door and said with a smile: "It's just that I can survive, and the pain is nothing. There is nothing more fortunate than being able to survive after a battle. "
Regis was taken aback when he heard that, and said, "Don't tell me you're also afraid when you're fighting?"
"Yes, because I'm still a human being. Of course I'm afraid of being killed, so I have to fight harder." Allen shrugged and reached out to pat Regis on the back casually: "Is the injury okay?"
Regis yelled and jumped up like an electric shock: "Damn Alan, you did it on purpose!"
Gritting his teeth, he put on his clothes and said, "I can't die, but that guy's punch is heavy enough. If there is a magic boxer, it is probably comparable to Willick's heavy punch. But if it is serious, can I fight?" The confidence to lose."
"That's the best, but you have already played the trump card, and they may not have revealed all the hole cards. So if you face a match in the future, don't be careless."
Belmode frowned: "Boss, what do you mean, the peace agreement signed with them tomorrow may not count?"
"Yes, but there should be no problem in the short term. After all, they have seen our strength tonight. Whether it is the King of the Mountain or Regis, they will be afraid. Unless their overall strength surpasses ours by a lot, Otherwise, the war will not start easily." Allen looked out the window at the drooping night and said, "I knew from the beginning that this was just a fake peace. The key to peace is that the strengths of our two sides are almost the same. When judging whether war is beneficial to both sides A peaceful situation was formed on the premise of no benefits. But no matter which side is powerful enough to break this balance, do you think this peace will continue?"
"Of course not, and there's no need. Neither me, Sharon, or even Higgs. Don't want to see yourself with a threatening neighbor.
"
"You guys have a good rest. There should be no other new tricks at the Black Iron Fort. We can go back after signing the agreement tomorrow."
When he left, he gave Regis another slap, which made his brother scream. Alan returned to his room, but unexpectedly saw Higgs outside the door.
What is this man here for?
Allen smiled lightly: "Has Captain Higgs not rested yet?"
"I couldn't sleep, so I got up and walked around, and walked to Lord Alan without thinking about it."
"So, come in for a meeting?"
Allen generously invited, and Higgs didn't refuse, and the two walked into the house. The two maids were so sleepy that they still insisted on serving. After they brought clean water, Allen asked them to go down to rest, so only he and Higgs were left in the room.
Higgs suddenly bowed to Allen and said, "I'm very sorry, Sir Sharon's evening arrangement was completely unexpected. If not, I can remind Lord Allen first."
"It doesn't matter, I think Sir Sharon's idea was also temporary."
"Thank you for your understanding. Fortunately, it didn't affect your decision, otherwise..." Higgs smiled wryly at this point.
Under the firelight, Higgs's face was half hidden in the shadows, which made him look a bit depressed. Allen could tell from his words that apparently, Sharon hadn't informed the knight leader of the probing action tonight, which shows how deep the conflict between them is. But this is a good thing for Storm City. Next, Allen chatted with him for a while.
Higgs was very careful with his words, but it was not difficult to hear his dissatisfaction with Sharon from the lines. It's just that he hides this dissatisfaction very carefully, and occasionally expresses it through one or two words, or inadvertent small actions.
The two chatted for a long time, and the content also involved many aspects. Regardless of trying to test each other during the period, Allen certainly wanted to attack the status quo of the power circle of Black Iron Fort through Higgs, so why didn't Higgs want to find out Allen's true identity. So after some conversation, both of them got more or less information. It's just that the authenticity of this information needs to be sorted out and verified afterwards.
Before you know it, the moon is in the sky. Higgs got up to leave, and when he walked to the door, Allen suddenly said: "If Captain Higgs needs my help in any difficulties in the future, you may as well come to me directly. As long as I can help, I will do my best. "
Higgs sighed, and when he carefully savored the meaning of Allen's words, he seemed to read a lot of information. Higgs nodded, but left without expressing his opinion. Allen watched his back leave before walking back to the house. Higgs didn't refuse on the spot, leaving himself a way out. Even if the relationship with Sharon is torn apart in the future, there is still Alan who can rely on him. As for Allen, he sprinkled another pinch of salt on the wound of discord in Black Iron Fort.
The two can be said to have their own gains.
The next day, Allen and Sharon signed an agreement. The content of the agreement includes the treaty of peaceful coexistence between the two sides, and at the same time redefines the territorial borders of the two sides. The new border will be bounded by the Blood Rock Wasteland, and this wasteland will serve as a buffer zone for both sides. Storm City and Black Iron Fort will send troops to set up military stations on the wasteland to ensure the safety of the wasteland and monitor each other at the same time.
After the mutual exchange of agreements, the meeting finally ended in an ideal way.
After that, the two sides returned to the city separately, without talking all the way.
After returning to Storm City, Allen summoned officials of all sizes to report the content of the agreement signed with Black Iron Fort.
"...The above is the harvest of our trip. Captain Reg, I will leave it to you to set up a military station in the Blood Rock Wasteland. Finally, I want to tell you that although the Black Iron Fort is not our enemy for the time being, but We cannot take it lightly. Because our neighbor is not simple, if we relax, we may usher in a devastating blow."
After the meeting, Alan was caught by Lucy. The girl dragged him to the study room of the City Lord's Mansion with great interest, and kept secretively refusing to reveal a word along the way. It was only in the study that she took out the box of deceit and said, "Look, I have already deciphered the ciphertext inside!"
"So fast?"
"Of course, I don't even look at who this lady is!" Lucy said triumphantly, waving the box.
"Okay, Miss Genius Girl, what interesting thing did you decipher from the ciphertext?"
Lucy blinked and said, "It's indeed interesting, and that place may be the key to our return to Earth."
When Allen heard it, he immediately became interested, reached out and patted her pink/buttocks and said, "Don't be secretive, tell me the truth."
Lucy took out a large stack of papers from under the desk, most of which were some scribbled handwriting, or some kind of conversion formula. Whether it's handwriting or formulas, they are all words that Allen can't understand. It was obviously written by Star Idahua, and Lucy found one of them. The text on this paper was relatively regular, using the text on the earth, which was convenient for Allen to read.
"...that place is finished, at least, in the only memory I have left, I don't seem to see any signs of survivors. My transformation is almost complete, damn it! I didn't expect the queen's cells to have such a powerful infection Power, so the idea at the beginning is really too arrogant?"
"Everything is coming to an end, I feel that I can no longer maintain normal logical thinking. It's ironic, in the end, I want to turn into a beast!"
"I don't know if any compatriots will find this box in the end. Compatriots who want to decipher the ciphertext, please be sure to notify the royal family and destroy the queen who is deep in the base as soon as possible. The following is the path to the base..." After reading, Allen said :"This is?"
"The director of a certain experimental base or something, but this is not the point. The point is the so-called queen and the base. The queen will not talk about it, but if there is a base, there will be a communication system. Even the communication of our Ida Hua star The system, as long as some corrections are made, I think it should be possible to contact the Earth. Otherwise, I can also contact Ida Hua, and let them pass the message to the Earth Federation, so that our return is hopeful!"
Lucy took out another hand-drawn map: "I found a map in the box of deceit, take a look. I have translated the markings on the map. It looks like the base is near the Borderlands." , which is very beneficial to us.”
Allen took the map and spread it out on the table. Sure enough, he quickly recognized the Aspen Mountains, but there was no obvious city mark on the map. It seems that the planet was still barren at that time, maybe even the Balegon Empire hadn't been established yet, and I don't know what kind of experiments the Idahua Stars were conducting on this planet. There is a dotted line drawn on the map. The dotted line starts from the Aspen Mountains, passes through the current Blood Rock Wasteland, and points directly to the wild highland behind Violet Port.
The end of the dotted line is located at a corner in the northeast of the Wild Highlands, which is where the base is located. Lucy picked up the map and raised her voice: "How about it, Your Royal Highness, do you plan to go on an adventure with me?"
"Of course, but just the two of us can't do it. Don't forget, there seems to be a queen in the base who can turn people into demons like the ones in Baimon's legends. We need to call more people to be more appropriate." Allen Seriously. r1058
