"Light **light**, painful!"
The dinner party is over. In the assigned stone house, Regis took off his shirt, with some bruises on his body. Belmode is giving him medicine to reduce the swelling, but Regis is surprisingly afraid of pain, making the man who is already very light-hearted feel a little helpless.
"They are all Bethkod's masters. Master Regis is particularly afraid of pain." Belmode shook his head.
Regis hummed: "You mean, Alan is better than me?"
"At least I didn't hear Master Ellen keep calling like you when he was taking medicine."
"Cut, I bet, that guy just endures for the sake of his image. How can it not hurt, and it's not a monster."
"I, it does hurt." Allen walked in from the door and smiled: "It's just that you can survive, so the pain is nothing. There is nothing like surviving after a fight. Lucky."
Regis was taken aback and said: "Don't tell me you will be afraid when you fight?"
"Yes, because I'm still a human being. Of course I'm afraid of being killed, so I have to fight harder." Allen shrugged, reaching out and patted Regis on the back at random: "Is the injury okay? "
Regis yelled and jumped like an electric shock: "Damn Allen, you did it on purpose!"
He gritted his teeth and put on his clothes and said, "I can't die, but that guy's punches are heavy enough. If there is a mana boxer, it may be comparable to Willick's heavy punches. But if you fight seriously, I Have confidence that you will not lose."
"That's best, but you have already shown the trump card, and people may not have revealed all the hole cards. So if you match up in the future, don't be careless."
Belmod frowned and said: "Boss, do you mean that 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 also seen our strength tonight, whether it is the King of the Mountain or Regis, it will make them a little jealous. Unless their comprehensive strength exceeds There are many of us, otherwise we will not easily start the war." Allen looked at the low night outside the window and said: "I knew from the beginning that this was just a false peace. The key to determining peace lies in the fact that our two sides are almost the same in strength. Judging the war. A peaceful situation is formed when it is not good for both parties. But no matter which party is strong enough to break this balance, do you think this kind of peace will continue?"
"Of course not, and there is no need. Whether it is me, Sharon, or even Higgs. I don't want to see myself have a threatening neighbor."
"You guys have a good rest. There should be no other new tricks on the Black Iron Fort. We can go back after we sign the agreement tomorrow."
When I left, I gave Regis another palm, making my brother yelling. Allen returned to his house, but unexpectedly saw Higgs outside the door.
What is this man doing?
Allen smiled faintly: "Captain Higgs hasn't rested yet?"
"Can't sleep, so I got up and strolled around. I walked over to Lord Ellen without thinking about it."
"So, come in and sit down?"
Allen generously invited, Higgs did not refuse, and the two walked into the house. The two maids were already too sleepy and still insisted on serving. After they brought clean water, Allen let them go down to rest, so he and Higgs were the only ones left in the house.
Haggs suddenly bowed to Allen: "I'm extremely sorry, Sir Sharon's arrangements for the evening are completely beyond my expectations. If not, I can remind Master Allen first."
"It doesn't matter, I think Sir Sharon was also on the spur of the moment."
"Thank you for your understanding. Fortunately, it didn't affect your decision, otherwise..." At this point, Higgs gave a wry smile.
Under the firelight, Higgs' face was hidden in the shadows, which made him look a little depressed. Allen can learn from his words that, obviously, Sharon didn't even know the knight commander about the tentative action tonight, which shows how deep the contradiction between them is. But this is a good thing for Storm City, and then Alan talked with him for a while.
Higgs is very careful in his words, but it is not difficult to hear his dissatisfaction with Sharon from the line between the lines. It's just that he hides this dissatisfaction very carefully, and occasionally shows it through a word or two, or inadvertent small gestures.
The two chatted for a long time, and the content involved many aspects. Regardless of testing each other during the period, Allen certainly wanted to attack the status quo of the power circle of the Black Iron Fort by Higgs, and Higgs didn't want to figure out Allen's true identity. So after a conversation, both of them got more or less information. It's just that the authenticity of these information needs to be sorted out and verified afterwards.
Unconsciously, the moon is in the middle of the sky. Higgs got up to say goodbye, and when he walked to the door, Allen said suddenly: "If Captain Higgs needs my help in the future, he might as well come to me directly. As long as I can help, I will do my best. "
Higgs sign, and when he carefully savored the meaning of Alan's words, he seemed to read a lot of information. Higgs **** his head, but didn't make a statement and left. Allen watched him leave before walking back to the house. Higgs did not refuse on the spot, leaving him a way out. Even if he and Sharon tear his face apart in the future, there is still Alan who can take refuge in. As for Alan, he sprinkled another salt on the discordant wound of the Black Iron Fort.
It can be said that the two have their own gains.
The next day, Allen and Sharon signed an agreement. The content of the agreement includes the two parties' peaceful coexistence in addition to the treaty, and at the same time redefines the territories and borders of the two parties. The new border will be bounded by the blood rock wasteland, and this wasteland will become a buffer zone for both sides. Storm City and Black Iron Fort will each 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 exchanging the agreement, the meeting finally ended in an ideal way.
After that, the two parties returned to the city separately, and there was nothing to say.
After returning to Storm City, Allen summoned officials and officials to report the contents of the agreement signed with Black Iron Fort.
"...The above is the harvest of our trip. Commander Reg, I will leave it to you about setting up a barracks in the blood rock wasteland. Finally, I want to say to you, although the Black Iron Fort is not ours for the time being Enemy, but we can’t take it lightly. Because our neighbor is not easy. Once we relax, we may face a devastating blow."
After the meeting, Alan was caught by Lucy. The girl happily dragged him to the study of the city lord's mansion, and mysteriously refused to reveal a word along the way. Until the study, she took out the box of fraud: "Look, I have deciphered the ciphertext inside!"
"So fast?"
"Of course, don't look at who this lady is!" Lucy waved the box triumphantly.
"Well, Miss genius girl, what interesting thing has been deciphered from the ciphertext?"
Lucy blinked and said: "It is indeed an interesting thing, and that place may be the key to our return to the earth."
When Allen heard this, he suddenly became interested, and he reached out and patted her pink/buttock and said: "Don't sell it, just tell me the truth."
Lucy pulled out a large stack of paper from under the desk. Most of it was scribbled or some conversion formula. Whether it was the handwriting or the formula, it was all words that Allen couldn't understand. It was obviously the writing of Idahuaxing. Lucy found one of them. The writing on this paper was relatively regular, and it was written on the earth, which was convenient for Allen to read.
"...The place is over, at least, in the only memory I have kept, there seems to be no sign of survivors. My transformation is almost complete, **** it! I didn't expect the queen's cells to have such a It’s so contagious, so was it really arrogant to think like that at the beginning?"
"Everything is coming to an end, and I feel that I can no longer maintain normal logical thinking. It is ironic, in the end, I will turn into a beast!"
"I don't know if any compatriots found this box in the end. Compatriots who wish to interpret the ciphertext must inform the royal family and destroy the queen in the depths of the base as soon as possible. The following is the path to the base..." Allen read Finished, said: "This is?"
"Something like the director of an experimental base, but it's not about re-**. Re-** is the so-called queen and the base. The queen aside, but if there is a base, there will be a communication system. Even if there is a base, there will be a communication system. It is the communication system of our Idahuaxing. I think it should be able to communicate with the earth after some corrections. Otherwise, I can also contact Idahuaxing and let them relay the message to the Earth Federation, so that our return is expected. !"
Lucy took out a hand-drawn map again: "There is also a map found in the fraud box, please look at it. I have translated the labels on the map. Look like that, the base is right on the border. This 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 Bairegon Empire had not been established yet, and I didn't know what kind of experiments the Idahua star people 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 straight to the wild highlands behind Violet Harbor.
The end of the dotted line is located in a corner northeast of the Wild Highlands, and that is where the base is located. Lucy picked up the map and raised her voice: "How about it, the great lord of the city, do you plan to go on an adventure with me?"
"Of course, but not for the two of us. Don't forget, there seems to be a queen in the base that can transform people into the kind of demon in the Bymon legend. We need more personnel to make it more appropriate. "Allen said solemnly.
