Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 501 Heaven and Man

After sending Ruola away, Allen found Willick and the two and asked them to go to the city to buy some necessary things. For example, cloaks and masks, but they cannot be purchased in the same store, they need to be purchased separately. Weapons like their usual ones cannot be used, so as not to be recognized by others, so it is inevitable to buy a few weapons such as long knives and war hammers.

Hearing that Allen was going to rob Graal, Willick and Broy laughed maliciously, readily agreed, and went on to do it.

In the afternoon, the two came back, each carrying a large bag of things in their hands. Allen made an inventory, and everything that should be prepared has been purchased, so he just waited for Ruola's news. I thought I would spend a leisurely afternoon, but unexpectedly, an unexpected visitor came.

&nb—Pig—Pig—Island—Novel ww.{zhu}{zhu}{}; The guests were brought in by guards, and he showed Aubain's coat of arms. It was a silver coat of arms, and under Oban's coat of arms was a shield symbol, representing the identity of the other party as a steward or aide. Allen received him in the lobby. The other party was an oriental, male, with black hair and black eyes, a very rare race in the Balegon Empire. He bowed deeply to Allen and said, "My name is Long, and I am the advisor of Earl Auban."

"Which consultant?" Allen asked casually.

"Management, military affairs, and strategy are all slightly involved." His language is concise, and he directly focuses on the key points. He seems to be a straightforward person.

After Long sat down, a servant had already brought black tea, and Allen shook the silver spoon in the cup and said, "So, Mr. Long is here this time, is it Count Aubain, do you have anything to say?"

"No, this is a private visit." Long Weijin was sitting upright, his sitting posture was very elegant, with oriental restraint and dignity, giving people a meticulous feeling. Such a person must come from a prestigious family, otherwise he would not be able to cultivate such a temperament.

"Oh, what is the purpose of Mr. Long's visit?"

"I want to discuss something with Baron Allen, but before discussing it, I hope you can stand aside." Long Gao said inscrutablely.

Allen said indifferently: "There is nothing you have to say to others, but Mr. Long just said it."

"I don't think so." Long smiled slightly, and his smile was very elegant. He reached out and stroked the table lightly. There was no water on his fingers and no dust on the table. The dragon's fingertips passed by without leaving any traces.

But Alan's memory is amazing, as the other party swipe his fingertips, a line of invisible words appeared in Alan's mind: The man from beyond the sky!

Allen's face changed, and he coughed lightly and stood up. First ordered the servants and guards to leave, and then they called Willick and Broy over.

After a while, the two walked into the hall, and Allen whispered in their ears, and the expressions of both of them changed. Then pull away left and right, walk behind the dragon, form a triangle formation with Allen, and surround the dragon.

Surrounded by three people, Long looked calm, and said lightly: "Just watching the actions of the baron and the nobles, I know that my guess is indeed right. What a surprise, I didn't expect Sir Alan to come from outside the sky."

"You...are not from this world?"

The atmosphere suddenly became dignified, and Allen's gaze was like a knife. This is his biggest secret. Once this secret is exposed, it is unknown what kind of impact it will cause. But no matter what the impact is, it is not good for his current plan. At that moment, he felt murderous, and decided not to let Long leave. As for how to explain to Oban, that is a matter for the future.

Long looked up, shook his head and said: "Baron Allen, it is unwise to kill me. Besides, I am not the only one who knows the secret of heaven and man. You can only keep it for a while if you kill me now. You can give it time, when other people pay attention to you When the time comes, the secret will finally be exposed."

"Heavenly man? What is heavenly man?" Allen did not let down his vigilance.

"This is what our family says. The celestial beings are people from beyond the sky. Our family has been engaged in research in this field, and I know a little bit about it. But I didn't expect that I would bump into the real celestial beings. , but this was an accident." Long glanced at Allen and said: "After you arrived, Count Aubain conducted an investigation into your origin and identity. The entrusted were local news dealers, and their code name was Black cat."

"It seems that they found a lot of things?"

"Indeed, at the very beginning, they only obtained basic information. Then the earl asked me to follow up on this matter. Just last month, Black Cat and the others found some interesting things. For example, when you first , appeared from the Aspen Mountains in the Borderlands. After the Aspen Mountains, there is a boundless sea, and it is not an ideal landing point. Not to mention the pier, there is not even a beach, only cliffs and cliffs. I I can't imagine, if you come from the other side of the sea, how will you land in the Aspen Mountains?"

"You... just appeared out of thin air."

Allen narrowed his eyes and said, "Based on this alone, do you think we are the so-called heavenly beings?"

"Of course not, I'm a cautious person, so let the black cat continue to dig into your things. Including things you used, equipment, or where you went. I want to know everything about it. Of course, for this reason I The black cat paid a large amount of remuneration. And these remunerations cannot be reimbursed to the count." The corners of Long's mouth curled up, and a smile appeared: "These guys, black cats, can't do anything else, but there are many ways to inquire about information."

"Since you came up with a very novel textile machine in the city of Sur; and then not long before you came to Ark Port, there was a vision of skyfire rising in the barren highlands. They dug them out for me, and added After you arrived. Especially your main force, they are equipped with weapons that have never been seen before, all of which make me suspect that you are people from outside the sky."

Allen sat down and said in a deep voice: "Speaking of which, I'm curious. When did you start to notice that there are outsiders visiting this planet?"

By saying this, he undoubtedly admitted his identity. Long has found so many things about them, even if he kills him, he will not change his mind. It would be better to admit generously, it seems that Long is visiting without telling Oban. Then, he probably didn't tell Oban the identities of these people.

As for why the dragon did this, Allen believes he will uncover the answer himself.

"Planet? Hey, that's a vivid term. So that's what you call our world?"

"That's right."

Long nodded and said: "Actually, our family is not the only one who is studying celestial beings. Because relics of celestial beings are found all over the world, in some uninhabited places. Maybe it is a city, or some kind of celestial being that we know. An incomprehensible building. In short, people found some things that did not belong to this world. In other words, those things surpassed the level of knowledge of this world too much. Plus some patterns, portraits, etc., let the discoverers guess .Before life was born in our world, heaven and man had already visited.”

"Since we have history, if we study carefully, it is not difficult to find that in the process of civilization development, there will always be a period of violent turmoil. During that time, there will be more or less the activities of heaven and man. Traces." Long Shen said: "So our family came to a conclusion that people from beyond the sky do exist, and every time they appear, they will have a major impact on the entire world."

"Aside from your family, who else is studying heaven and man?"

"Not many, but there are indeed a few. For example, the imperial family has an organization that specializes in researching the relics of celestial beings. It's called the Ancient Investigation Committee. There are also the Goblin King's Court St. Ophra, and the Shadow Principality of the Alien Alliance. They all have something like this organization."

Ai Lun sorted out his thoughts and said, "You mean, outside of the empire, there are countries like St. Ophra and the Duchy of Shadows. And the former is a goblin, while the latter is made up of different species?"

"It seems that Baron Allen doesn't have a deep enough understanding of our world, but you have done a very good job. If I didn't have such knowledge, I'm afraid I would simply regard you as foreigners with mysterious origins instead of I know your identities as celestial beings. How should I put it, you have done a great job in integrating into our world." Long said sincerely.

"Well, it does seem that we are too superficial. Then tell me, Mr. Long, how should I deal with you?" Allen finally said the key.

The dragon's face was calm, and he said calmly: "Your identities must not be exposed, otherwise, the imperial family will be the first to refuse to let you go. Don't look at your strength, but as long as the royal family is willing to invest their money, they can find ten saints at random. One or two hits are enough to destroy all your resistance forces, and then capture Baron Allen, who is related to you, so as to dig out the secrets of the heavenly beings. Believe me, a living heavenly being is more valuable than those relics Much more."

"so……"

"So I won't reveal your identities. You can keep me by your side. This can serve as a surveillance and house arrest."

Allen frowned and said, "Mr. Long keeps a secret for me, what exactly do you want from me?"

"Knowledge. My family has been studying the culture and even civilization of heaven and man. This is also the family's long-cherished wish. Let me stay by your side, and I can learn unprecedented knowledge. This huge wealth is enough for me to replace you Keep it a secret. Besides, with you by my side, I can use the power of Sir Allen to deal with some people." Speaking of this, there was another thing in Long's calm eyes: "Some people I hate to the bone, I can’t do it alone. But if there is Sir Allen, it’s another matter. Of course, I will provide all the power accordingly. Including my understanding of the world, my wisdom and so on.”

"If Mr. Long just wants to take revenge on someone, I think Earl Aubain should be more competent than me?"

"No, the Earl will not offend a member of the royal family for me. But you are different. Judging from the traces left by those heavenly beings in history, the first step after the aliens came to our world must be to expand their power .Sir Allen is no exception. Your goal should not be limited to a jazz realm, or even a hereditary duke. Probably, this empire is your goal?" Long smiled and said: "Then, while achieving this goal , It doesn’t seem like a big deal to cut off a member of the royal family at will. And the Count Aubain, or even other counts or marquises, would not deal with a royal person for the sake of an unknown me.”

"It seems that I really can't find a reason to refuse, so well, Mr. Long, you are welcome to join. However, I am also a cautious person. Especially at this moment when you and I don't know each other, I want to do some necessary protection measure."

"E.g?"

"For example, I will give you some poisons with an incubation period. Every once in a while, if you don't get the antidote from me, you will die from the poison." Allen said directly.

Long nodded: "Yes, if this can gain your trust, I am willing to do so."

"Very well. If I am sure that our interests are aligned, I will stop using this method at that time. But in the early stage, you know, it is better to have a little protection."

Long got up and said: "Then I will take my leave first, and then I will go to the Bauhinia Collar with Miss Ruola first. Before Sir Allen stays here, I will maintain the current relationship with Earl Aubain. When you are ready Go deep into the empire, and then I will naturally disappear."

"Oh, what I need to remind you is, don't take Orbanti lightly. I didn't tell him about your celestial beings. Judging by Sir Allen's current performance, Earl Auban has already felt your threat. Once Your ambition is beyond what he can tolerate, I think he will do something to you. After all, that was the proposal I gave him before, a reasonable proposal."

"Thanks for letting me know, I'll be careful."

After another bow, the dragon was escorted out by the guards. Allen let out a breath, looked at Willick and the two with a wry smile and said, "After we gain a firm foothold here, I have to go back to Storm City. It seems that we have to cover up our origins in more detail, otherwise It will attract the attention of the royal family as soon as possible. Our current strength is still unable to compete with the empire."

"Edward should be qualified for this job." Willick said.

Allen nodded and said: "There is also Father Miro, the Christianity he runs has gradually grown, and it is time to use the influence of the denomination. After that, Father Miro should also come to Ark Harbor to preach. In short, as long as we are in The Far Lands or Arkport have enough influence to give us a more comprehensive cover."

"That dragon, head, are you going to trust him?" Bloy asked.

"For the time being, yes. If he wants to expose our identities, he doesn't need to go to such trouble. Obviously, what he wants from us, whether it is knowledge or the power to revenge. As long as we are useful to him, he will Will work with us. Of course, like I said, some restrictions have to be placed on him. It's time to call in our Master Apothecary."
