Silent Crown Chapter 537: I hope so
The cave monastery was originally built by a group of ascetic monks.
It took them forty years to dig out the monastery from the rock wall to form a rudimentary form. From then to now, two hundred years have passed. After four times of construction, the cave monastery has become what it is today. .
Like the headquarters of the Chainsaw Brotherhood, the inner layer of the monastery was excavated from the mountain, but the scale was not so grand. The construction of the stone chamber can only be said to be crude, and even only a few fist-sized holes retain the necessary ventilation, even without windows.
After Ye Qingxuan's identity was verified by a musician, he was respectfully invited to the office of the dean of this monastery.
The stove in the corner dissipated the dampness in the stone room, but it was still cold.
Ye Qingxuan sat in a chair and waited in silence. It was not until half an hour later that the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged, slender man walked in from outside the door.
He seems to be senile prematurely, his temples are white, his skeleton and face are all standard Anglo, his knuckles are thick, and his palms are rough and calluses. Although the muscles are not exaggerated, they are full of power.
There is an army atmosphere between the actions, and the style is hard-line.
"Hello, Mr. Ye, I have been admiring the name for a long time."
He reached out to Ye Qingxuan and introduced himself: "I am the temporary person in charge here, Colonel Xavier."
Ye Qingxuan raised his eyes and looked at him, looked at his hand, but didn't mean to hold it.
The tone of this Colonel Xavier is very subtle, without dissatisfaction, and his contemptuous tone is well concealed.
Calling him Mr. Ye, he didn't care about his identity as a sword holder.
Although handshake gifts are common, they are mostly used for leveling. With Ye Qingxuan's authority, as Maxwell's designated successor, the person in charge of the Fifth Department in an emergency, he should salute him when he saw him, and then hand over command.
Instead, he took two subordinates and waited for half an hour before arriving late, pretending to shake hands with himself enthusiastically.
His eyes fell on the two people behind Xavier.
An old man in a robe, standing on a cane, looks like a monk of the church, but he does not wear a badge, and the style of the robe is not the sacrificial clothing of the cult. The ten fingers were full of rings, which looked like jewels, but the blind could feel the ether fluctuations in them.
Is a musician, and his accomplishments are definitely not low. No movement or alchemy equipment was used, but water vapor and cold cooling were naturally isolated.
That is the gravitational force formed by the music theory in the movement of the body and the regular friction between the material world, and the natural music theory buffer layer formed in the whole body, Nan Taoyaoyao travels through
. It's like an iron ball sinks naturally on the felt.
The distortion level, at least.
The other person is much younger, wears well-made glasses, and seems to have good eyesight. The calluses on the index finger and thumb of his right hand indicate that he has been doing copywriting all the year round. This is the trait of a scribe, a scholar, a lawyer, or a middle-level government official.
But neither of them have the coat of arms of the fifth department.
This is interesting.
Ye Qingxuan smiled sarcastically at the corner of his mouth.
Leaving Ye Qingxuan aside, Xavier's expression remained the same, but the eye muscles trembled slightly. As if nothing happened, he retracted his palm and sat on his own as the landlord of the office.
"Come all the way, Mr. Ye has worked hard."
Xavier is not rude, and still maintains respect: "I have people cleaned up the room for you. I just got a batch of supplies. The cook has made a lot of good things. You can have dinner later. Take a break."
"Very good."
Ye Qingxuan nodded, did not continue to be polite with him, straightforward: "How many members of the fifth department are currently here?"
There was a smile on Xavier's face: "Something happened in the middle. We still have 374 people, but they are not in good condition. We..."
"Enough for the time being."
Ye Qingxuan waved his hand and interrupted him: "The ship I brought has encountered something on the road. It needs someone qualified as an engineer to participate in the repair. You can arrange it later.
I hope that the hull can be repaired tomorrow and we can get on the road as soon as possible. "
Xavier was silent, and his smile became difficult.
"Mr. Ye, you came from afar, I'm afraid I don't know the situation."
He said: "The enthusiasm of young people is worthy of admiration. I can understand your eagerness, but the fifth department has its own set of methods for mobilization and operation. You have not participated in specific actions. It will take a while. Adapt and understand. Otherwise, if we make the wrong response, I am afraid we will lose a lot.
If you have anything, we can discuss it together. Nowadays, the supply is not enough, and the condition of the operatives is not good. We should not act rashly until there is no further situation in Anglo's headquarters. "
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help laughing when he heard it.
He didn't speak, tapping his fingers on the desktop in front of him, staring at Xavier's expression.
Speaking so smoothly with a high-sounding formula, I'm afraid this paragraph has been prepared for quite a long time, right?
Not like an operative, but like a politician.
Ye Qingxuan, you are too young and inexperienced. You have not even participated in the operations of the fifth sector. You still need to be polished and experienced. Besides, the supply is insufficient, the state is not good, the state of affairs is unknown...
In short-you know what a fart!
In the long silence, Ye Qingxuan tapped his fingers on the table, and the crisp voice was like a chisel, chipping away Xavier’s smile little by little, so that his smile dissipated. The villain is true. Stunning
.
In the end, it became an embarrassment of incompleteness.
"What else?"
Ye Qingxuan suddenly asked, "Are there any other excuses or reasons?"
Xavier's expression twitched. For some reason, he was irritated by the small sound of knocking on the table, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Is this not enough?"
He asked coldly.
Ye Qingxuan smiled and shook his head, "I think, you made a mistake from the beginning..."
He got up, put his palm on the table, and bent down to look down at Xavier:
"I'm not negotiating and requesting from you, nor am I ready to listen to your excuses. So, you don't have to try to find any reason."
Speaking, Ye Qingxuan raised his palm, raised his middle finger, and showed him the ring on it: "You don't need any qualifications and experience, and you don't need to know my qualifications.
Maxwell is not there, I am the person in charge of the fifth department, and I am your commander. I said to repair the ship, then repair the ship. I say when to act, then when to act.
Before speaking to me, recognize your identity, Xavier ‘Colonel’.
——This is an order! "
The vaguely hoarse voice reverberated in the air, turning into a loud thunder, making the whole room tremble and the stone walls humming.
A sharp look flashed in Xavier's eyes, as if he had made up his mind, but in the oblique stabbing, a palm was pressed on his shoulder.
It's the old musician.
The turbulence of music theory dispelled the noise in his body and forced him to restore his composure, no longer being influenced by the hints mixed in Ye Qingxuan's words.
Xavier took a deep breath and stopped seeing Ye Qingxuan.
"It is late at night, I am afraid you are tired, Mr. Ye."
He squeezed a voice from between his teeth: "Let’s rest first, and I’ll talk about the rest tomorrow."
Ye Qingxuan glanced at the old musician behind him, smiling.
Retracted his gaze and said no more, he turned and left.
The door is closed.
After a long silence, Xavier let out a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Mandel, why are you stopping me?"
"You are doing what he wants you to do." Mandel said: "Don't forget what his status is now. If you dare to do something with him, you will give him an excuse to kill you."
He paused and glanced at the direction Ye Qingxuan was leaving: "He will never hesitate."
Xavier's face turned pale.
"He dare!"
Though said that, Xavier actually knows the lime very clearly in his heart
.
Of course he dares, why not?
The Fifth Department is not a politician agency, but a violent agency, a factory for executioners and murder tools. It is now in a state of emergency, using wartime regulations. If Ye Qingxuan had the opportunity, he would never be soft.
In silence, Xavier sat on a chair, smoking the last few cigarettes, his face uncertain in the extinguishing flame.
"I have arranged him in that room."
He said suddenly, "Master Mandel, I will leave it to you next."
"Very well, you made a wise choice."
Mandel nodded, "Don't worry, go to rest. Tomorrow, he won't be a threat."
Xavier pinched out the cigarette.
"I hope so."

In the cave monastery, Ye Qingxuan's room, a middle-aged man with a beard leaning on a chair, poured the last liquor in the bottle~IndoMTL.com~ wiped his wet beard.
"Your Excellency Grand Inquisitor, this is different from what you said to us." He complained: "Your subordinates don't seem to want to exchange rights with you. And, I'm afraid they don't welcome your arrival. ."
Speaking of this, he shrugged and looked at the position of the door: "My crew has been taken care of, and my boat has been thrown outside, and it is beaten by wind and rain."
"Don't worry, Captain Igor, my promise is still valid."
Ye Qingxuan, who closed his eyes on the bed and opened his eyes: "Go back and rest. After the matter is over, if you are not satisfied with your own pay, I can add more."
Igor sighed helplessly: "To be honest, I am satisfied with the money you promised me, but I just doubt... how much your name is worth in those people's hearts now.
If you are not sure, we can run away. The ship is still there anyway, right?
My crew members are all good guys who have seen blood, and it’s okay to kill them... You must never smash your face to fill a fat man. If you are rushed in tonight and hacked to death, I will find Who is going to make the final payment? "
Ye Qingxuan smiled.
"Mr. Igor, are you from Asgard?"
"I prefer to say that I am Hai’s son, although Hai sometimes resembles a bitch." Igor shrugged: "But I am indeed from Asgard, yes, look at my name. I know."
"Then you should have heard a proverb."
Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes, whispered softly in Asgar German skillfully:
"——The real right will not stay in the hands of the thief. It will choose the owner that matches it. After drinking the dragon's blood, the one who can survive is the strong, isn't it?"
Igor frowned and looked at him for a long time. After a long time, he shook his head and sighed:
"I hope so." (To be continued.)
