Last Totem Novel - Chapter 465
Chapter 465 Drop
After the Flowing Warblers entered, they separated in pairs and arrived beside the three clerks of Sand Wind Castle. He Xin’s two subordinates immediately revealed happy expressions as they stretched out their hands, one on the left and one on the right, and wrapped their hands around the waist of the two Liuying beside them. However, He Xin seemed to be a little cold, as if he wasn’t interested in the two Liuying that had been arranged for him.
Seeing He Xin’s reaction, Hagrid smiled foolishly and said, “Friend, if you think it’s inappropriate, you can exchange for another two.”
“No need.” He Xin waved his hand, then pointed at Lilith and said, “Just let her accompany me.”
“This” Hagrid explained with a pale expression, “She’s our warrior.”
“Aren’t warriors also women?” He Xin looked at Lilith from head to toe. His obscene gaze swept across her face, chest, and buttocks one by one. Then, he smiled and said to Hagrid, “What’s the difference between two pieces of meat and three holes?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Tie Ling’s pupils suddenly shrank. She instinctively touched the machete behind her back. Her sister would not allow anyone to attack her. Sensing her movements, Tie Zha hurriedly turned his head and used his gaze to stop her.
“Two more. Little girl is boring.” Hagrid winked at Lilith, who immediately turned and left.
“Slow!” He Xin’s expression changed as he reached out to stop him, “If you feel it’s inconvenient, then forget it.”
Hagrid did not answer, but looked at the wine glass in front of him with a wooden expression. Lilith, who had reached the entrance, paused for a moment, and without waiting for Hagrid’s instructions, she left without turning her head.
He Xin’s fat face immediately shrugged and he held his hands without saying a word. His eyes flickered, and he didn’t know what he was thinking. Gradually, the atmosphere became awkward.
“Friend” Hagrid turned his gaze back and was about to open his mouth to make things right when He Xin suddenly turned around and slammed the table. “Bang!” The cups and saucers on the table jumped up, and then he pointed at the other two clerks and taught them a harsh lesson, “Stop pulling and pulling. What kind of behavior is this?” We’re here to work, not to play! ”
Unexpectedly, He Xin’s attitude was so arrogant. He said that he would lose his face immediately. Tie Zha’s eyes immediately narrowed, and his killing intent rose. However, he quickly calmed down. If he killed the members of the investigation team now, he would be challenging the prestige of the City Hall of Windsand Castle, and even challenging the regime of the World Council.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh. If it was in the past, this small commissioner might not even have the qualifications to speak to him. First of all, the Academy Alliance itself was strong, representing the proud son of heaven of Silver City World. All the governments gave way and gave the green light all the way. Secondly, he had Muyu Qinxin from the beginning, followed by Muyu Ling Lan and You Ge. They were representatives of the top powers in Silver City, and the governments all over the world took care of them. They were extremely respectful. It was too late to curry favor, let alone make things difficult for them.
But now, a small official at the bottom could make him smoke, jump up and down, and had to carefully serve him. This kind of difference was truly not something that could be described in words. Of course, as long as he sent a message to Mu Yuqinxin, all the problems would be solved. However, he could not do so. Relying on external forces to solve the problem was not a long-term solution. If he wanted to establish his own network of connections and establish the prestige of his own team, he had to use his own strength to solve the problem. Otherwise, wouldn’t the glorious bloodline become the vassal state of Notre Dame in the long run?
Seeing that their boss was angry, the two clerks hurriedly released their hands from the girl’s body. Although there was still some lingering nostalgia in their eyes, they did not hesitate too much and sat there obediently, waiting for orders.
In fact, Tie Zha did not agree with Hagrid’s approach. The more courteous they were to such people, the more they would push their luck. The relationship between spending money and currying favor is not reliable, because the two sides of the relationship are not equal, don’t expect each other’s respect. Hagrid had a wild background. Although his brain was smarter, he hadn’t systematically studied the rules of Silver City World, so it was a bit difficult to deal with it. However, Tie Zha wasn’t much better. He had never come into contact with officials at the bottom. In the past, the lowest ranked officials beside him had the status of Silver City nobles, so they wouldn’t be so vulgar. He just didn’t expect that the faces of these low-level officials could be so ugly.
As the atmosphere stiffened, Hagrid remained silent, pretending to be indifferent.
“Commander Hagrid, please provide us with the names and information of all the people in Crimson Peak Stronghold. We need to investigate.” He Xin coughed and said with a straight face.
“Please wait a moment. Our legion has just been established, and the organization is a bit chaotic.” Hagrid said.
He Xin didn’t say anything and leaned back in his chair, making a “please” gesture. After that, Hagrid waved his hand and left with Tie Zha and the others.
Not long after, everyone sat down in the command tent and discussed what to do.
“What do you think?” Hagrid asked. Although this sentence was for everyone, his gaze stayed on Tie Zha’s face.
“Don’t worry about them, just let them wait.” Said Tie Zha.
“And then?” Hagrid asked.
“Get some information for them to see.” Said Tie Zha. Actually, he didn’t have any good countermeasures, so he could only stall for a while and then act according to the situation. After all, there were only three people on the investigation team. Without their cooperation, nothing could be done.
However, He Xin was not a fuel-efficient light. After waiting for a few hours, he looked at some nonchalant information and left the tent with his subordinates to wander around the camp. The soldiers received Hagrid’s notice early in the morning, and did not interfere with or pay any attention to them.
After turning around for a while, He Xin barged into the command tent and threatened Hagrid, “If your soldiers don’t cooperate with our investigation, we won’t be able to carry out our work. If this continues, I will report the situation to my superiors and say that you refuse to accept the investigation.” To be honest, he didn’t want to report to his superiors until he had no other choice, because this would make him look incompetent. However, if Hagrid really didn’t cooperate, it was a matter of the reputation of the City Hall of Wind Sand Castle, so he could only report it to the higher ups.
Hagrid hesitated for a moment before letting Lilith give the order to the soldiers to cooperate with the investigation team.
Next, He Xin picked out some soldiers who looked honest and honest, or who weren’t too smart, and took them to the tent to ask them alone. After a few hours of interrogation, He Xin asked a lot of things that could be used for writing articles.
During this period of time, the soldiers of Crimson Peak Stronghold wandered around the area, eliminating several groups of fully armed “bandits”. Also, the bars in this camp can serve Jack. This was the business of the official hospital of Windsand Castle, and private trading was forbidden. Although it wasn’t a big deal in Sand Wind Castle, it was a serious violation of the law to get it on the stage. Also, he discovered that some of the insecticides in Crimson Peak Stronghold were “black households” and were not registered in Sand Wind Castle.
This group of insecticides was actually brought here by the Black Pig King from the southern continent. As he crossed the plane gate, the Black Pig King spent thousands of gold coins to bribe the checkpoint’s stationmaster, bypassing the procedure of injecting Jack by force. But without injecting Jack, he wouldn’t be able to obtain an official identity. The identification system of Silver City World was very perfect. The main database was set up in the central Silver City of the western continent, in the super-large library of the first floating island, Eternal Lighthouse-Candlelight Fort. The system uses 48 exclusive satellites to transmit information. It is the largest satellite network in the Silver City world. As long as the person’s eyeprints or fingerprints are scanned, their identity can be determined.
However, other than Jack who had been injected, the insecticides in Sandstorm Castle did not have any official identities. The fact that there were no records in the database meant that this person did not exist and was not protected by the law.
After finding enough reasons, He Xin began to attack Hagrid. Never tiring of asking about this and that, everything, even Hagrid asked when he was going to eat and sleep. If it wasn’t for Hagrid’s patience and misgivings, he would have already drawn his saber and beheaded him.
Just as Chifeng Stronghold was in a mess caused by the investigation team, Zhao Wenke came back. Hagrid immediately pushed the baggage onto him. Zhao Wen was the best at dealing with these things.
Zhao Wenke also brought back two people, a well-proportioned, elegant middle-aged man and a fair-skinned young man in his early twenties. The middle-aged man wore a dark red robe embroidered with golden patterns and silk ribbons around his waist. The young man wore a dark blue vest and white shirt embroidered with silver silk. He wore dark blue trousers and shiny leather boots.
“This is Earl Andrew Teresa.” Zhao Wenke introduced to Hagrid. Andrew Teresa was an aristocrat of the Central Continent. His fief was located in the northeast of the continent, south of the Gorge Sea City. Located on the fringes of the city, the Teresa family has been running out of money for two centuries due to its conservative management.
“Hello, I’m Hagrid, the person in charge here.” Hagrid introduced himself.
“Hello.” Count Andrew smiled warmly, took off his gloves, and stretched out his hand towards Hagrid, who hurriedly held it in both hands.
“This handsome young man is Viscount Ben Modleton, Jr.” Zhao Wenke introduced the young man.
Hearing this surname, Tie Zha couldn’t help but frown. Little Mordleton was the general name of the side branch of the Mordleton Clan. All the descendants who were separated from the main branch by five generations had to give up Mordleton’s surname and change their surname to Little Mordleton. He couldn’t understand why Zhao Wenke would provoke this clan. This was like setting a time bomb beside him.
“Hello.” Hagrid nodded.
“Hello.” Ben reached out and shook Hagrid’s hand gently. His hands were very slender and pale. Even in the hot environment, he could not feel any temperature and looked a little sick.
After getting to know each other, the four of them chatted for a while. After that, Zhao Wenke offered to take them to the construction site to take a look. However, he forced a smile and said, “Sorry, friends, I feel a little dizzy. I want to take a rest first.”
“It’s been hard on you.” Zhao Wenke hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said. Ben Mordleton, Jr. was a noble of White City, one of the five northern cities.
White City was the most special existence of the five northern cities. Her family was different. It was the parish of Notre Dame and was jointly administered by several small Mordleton families. Nominally part of the Mordleton family, but actually independent.
My parents passed away early, and since I was young and sick, my family business has plummeted ever since my eldest brother and second brother died in the planar war. He had inherited the title, but he did not have the ability to do so. He could only rely on the income of the territory to maintain a relatively decent living. However, the competition between the nobles of Silver City was extremely fierce, like sailing against the current, either advancing or retreating. If this continued, their territory would soon be completely devoured by the other little Mordletons, and he and his family would also die.
The two nobles that Zhao Wenke had found had a common characteristic, that was, their family background was low, but their social status was high. To put it bluntly, inviting them to invest in Syris Investment Co., Ltd. Was to pay protection fees in disguise and exchange money for social connections.
Although he offered 45% of the shares, they would not directly participate in the operation. In other words, as long as they were given a sum of money each year in the name of dividends, the problem would be solved.
Recently, he had just recovered from a serious illness, and his condition had yet to recover. The update was somewhat unstable, so he apologized to everyone. If you don’t have anything to do, please reply. Tell me your thoughts. It can be considered an encouragement to me, right? Thank you.
