IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT THE 'FREE ZONE'
There was no need for the other party to speak, Suleman had already guessed the restricted area Scarci mentioned, and which one the important news referred to.
In particular, he had just had an exchange with Ms. Hei Die at the "Golden Song" party. Although limited by the environment, Suleman was unable to determine the true identity of the other party, but he could probably guess Hei Die Ma'am, it was she who leaked the news to Stuart's descendants.
Since she can leak the news once, it means that she can also sell the second news.
Even, as a qualified profiteer, it is the correct way to dismantle a secret message, take advantage of the time difference, sell it to different forces, and squeeze the value of the message to the limit. Suleman silently guessed the specific situation based on the experience of his previous life. .
It seems that the ancient nobles are also one of the 'victims'.
"Okay, let's go into the room and discuss in detail." Suleman nodded slightly, agreeing to the other party's invitation.
Tu Tu Tu. Suleman knocked on the door. As a person with a "sister" at home, even if he had the key in his arms, he would knock on the door and let his sister come. This was his way of showing "family warmth".
Ka, as the door was pulled open, a beautiful girl with long blond hair hanging down to her waist like a waterfall, with exquisite features like a painting, with a bit of youthfulness between her brows, appeared in front of the door.
"Brother Su, you're back." Ibis forced a smile on her face. She looked past Suleman and could see Scarci in silver armor and dressed up behind him. For a moment, she The words that came to his lips were changed to the beginning of 'brother'.
God knows, what she meant to say was, 'Sulman, don't you come home without a key? '.
"How is dinner prepared?" Suleman reached out and pinched Ibis's face. It has to be said that the latter's skin is extremely smooth and supple, like the finest silk, and it feels a little bit soft to the touch. Can't hold back the feeling.
If Suleman is fairer, Ibis has smooth skin, which makes people love it like fine porcelain.
"It's almost ready." Ibis gave him a hard look, but didn't dare to slap his hand off.
—after all, the outsider in the silver helmet was still watching them.
Suleman could clearly feel a slight tremor from his fingertips. He knew that this guy was by no means as calm as he appeared on the surface. He was afraid that his heart had already turned into a mess of lies, so he had to pretend to be calm in front of them. girls.
Gently retracting his hand, Suleman stopped teasing each other, lest the truth be revealed. At that time, both of them would be embarrassed.
"Is this your sister? Mr. Suleman."
Looking at the actions of the two, Scarci naturally regarded Ibis as Suleman's younger sister.
After all, according to the customs of the Eternal Night World, high-class gentlemen wear silver rings after they get married. Suleman's hands are empty, and he doesn't look like he is married. Erman is still a little younger. The main reason is that her eyebrows are green. Compared with Suerman, she is also younger, but she has a mature temperament. She looks naturally smaller, and she can easily be regarded as a younger sister.
"Yes, may I ask you?" Ibis nodded slightly, like Xiao Jiabiyu, showing acting skills that did not match her age.
"I'm your brother's friend, the eldest daughter of the Moslian nobleman, Scarci Moslian." Scarci introduced herself, and at the end, she showed an atmosphere that didn't look like a girl: "If you don't mind , shall we go in and talk again?"
Just looking at her attitude, she didn't feel like she was visiting for the first time. However, Scarci was very polite, not a reckless person, and would give the other party the illusion that the two had known each other for a long time. If you use Suleman's words in his previous life To describe it, that is 'self-cooked'.
"Please come in."
Ibis made way sideways and led the two of them to the dining room. Because they wanted to entertain guests, they didn't go to the living room on the second floor.
The dinner has already been prepared, and it only needs to be served from the upstairs kitchen. However, Ibis didn't expect the guests to visit, so she only prepared a dinner for two people. Fortunately, they are all at a mature age, and they have prepared a lot of food. Moreover, Ibis also has the little habit of preparing more. Even if there is one more Scarlett, it will not appear that the dinner is too small and the hospitality is lost. polite.
Pan-fried lamb chops, vegetable and cheese soup, grilled dragontail steak coated with spices, smoked meatballs with northern sausage as raw material, ample oatmeal bread, and mushroom egg cup for dessert. , The food was placed on the dining table, and Suleman helped to place the tableware, gradually creating a family atmosphere.
In the end, Ibis did not know where to find some candles and silver wax holders, lightly lit them and inserted them.
"When did you buy this?" Suleman was a little surprised.
"Did you forget when you went to the furniture market with me last time?" Ibis rolled his eyes at him, her delicate and smooth face gradually became a little blush under the light, making her beautiful and charming.
As an audience, Scarlett witnessed everything in person. Although she felt that the atmosphere of this family was very warm, for some reason, she always felt that there was something weird and unreasonable between the pair of brothers and sisters.
A sumptuous dinner was placed on the table, and at the end, Ibis put three goblets for them, but apologized to Scarci:
"Sorry, I don't have much stock at home, only some mulled wine and ginger beer."
"Miss Scarce, what would you like to drink?"
In the cold land in the north, due to the ice and snow environment, people love strong wine to dispel the cold in their bodies. Even for daily drinks, ginger beer is made from ginger juice, which has a stomach-warming effect, or spiced wine made with low-concentration red wine as a base and spices such as cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom. Both are the most popular everyday drinks.
Of course, compared to northern spirits, they can only be regarded as 'flavored drinks', especially ginger beer, which is made with a special process, basically non-alcoholic, and underage children can drink freely.
"I'm like you, ginger beer is fine."
Scarlett didn't take it seriously, instead she joked: "Although I like spirits, I don't want to be exposed too thoroughly in other people's homes. It's better to drink some ginger beer and pretend to be a lady."
"Unfortunately, you have lost your word." Ibis poured her a glass of ginger beer, and 'reminded' her very friendly.
"My God, I hope you can get drunk and forget all my nonsense." Scarlett raised her glass and drank it all at once, then her brows frowned, her already heroic face, Staring viciously at the glass—
"I hate ginger beer, the non-alcoholic drink."
"Hahahahaha"
Both of them were amused by her seemingly funny and forthright behavior, and for a while, the dinner table was full of joy.
Scarci inserted a piece of pan-fried lamb chops, put it into her mouth, chewed it for a while, and couldn't help admiring: "This is a very wonderful cooking skill, oh, what kind of spices did she add, it's a bit sweet and sour, very sweet. wonderful."
"This is what my brother taught me." Ibis glanced at the young man beside her and replied truthfully.
You're also a quick learner. Suleman clearly remembers the other party's first time cooking. The food he cooks makes people lose courage just by looking at it. Out of helplessness, he can only teach the other party's cooking skills.
After killing some food, Scarci suddenly looked at the young man, and finally mentioned the matter: "Sulman, the main reason I came to you is the matter mentioned at the door."
While speaking, she also glanced at Ibis.
Just as Ibis was about to get up and leave the restaurant on the grounds of packing up the tableware, Suleman stopped her and looked at Scarci with a smile: "This matter is related to me, so she also has the right to know, there is no need to hide it What. Just say it."
Hearing this, Ibis opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything in the end, she just sat down silently, lowered her head and fiddled with her silky blond hair, wondering what was on her mind.
Scarlett's eyes moved, she looked at the two of them quietly, and nodded slightly: "You also know a little about the restricted area. That area is the 'Yatu Forgotten City'. I recently learned some secrets from a certain channel. Information, the specific content is—about the opening time of the 'Yatu Ruins' and the exact method of entering it."
When it came to the end, Scarlett's tone was faintly agitated. It was hard to imagine that she, who had always been impressed by her calmness, would have such a gesture. It seemed that this news had a great impact on her.
The way to open the time and enter the city. Sure enough, Ms. Hei Die sold part of the news. Suddenly, Suleman realized that the facts were as he expected, Ms. Heidi deliberately hid her hand, and the information revealed to the ancient nobles was only part of it.
But the problem is, the news Ms. Heidi got from Suleman is also part of the
This is equivalent to Suleman discounting to Ms. Black Butterfly, who in turn discounted to the ancient nobleman, going round and round, proving what a cancerous existence the "middleman" is.
Without a middleman, there is no profit margin. Su Erman resisted the desire to complain, and began to think about how to persuade the other party not to go to the somewhat deceitful trap of the "Yatu Heritage City".
It is not accurate to say that it is a trap. It should be said that that place is very dangerous and there are many pits for outsiders.
But if you know everything and avoid these traps, it is actually not a big problem.
The most important thing is that Suleman avoided that place in the past, because he was not strong enough, and he was only qualified to face the second level. He entered the ruined city of Yatu, and he was too cautious to step into it. But now it is not what it used to be. Strictly speaking, his strength is enough to deal with the crisis. Moreover, as an ancient city-state left over from the last era, the ruined city of Yatu not only has secret treasures, but also rare ancient species
It is not certain that there are still extraordinary beings from the Second Era in that city-state? After all, Suleman remembered the time when the 'trap' broke out and caused the ruined city to disintegrate in the history of Eternal Night in his previous life.
There are really some lucky players who took advantage of the chaos to hunt for scarce extraordinary beings to make up the materials for the promotion ceremony.
Night Shadow Lizard, will there be some backups in the abandoned city of Yatu? After all, during the Second Era, this kind of creature was still a very common material for captivity, but the city of Yatu was the ruins of the civilization of the Second Era. Maybe you can try your luck
"I think the authenticity of this news still needs to be confirmed." Suleman thought for a while and decided to remind the other party.
From his point of view, it is definitely the most beneficial solution for him to let the ancient nobles explore first to accumulate experience and information.
but the problem is
The source of this news is Ms. Hei Die. The other party deliberately disclosed it to the ancient family. Suleman doesn't think she is a good person.
The purpose of Ms. Heidi's doing this, thinking about it in another way, Suleman thinks that the other party is very likely to have the hunting intention of "the squirrel is behind", and is going to let the ancient nobles go to explore the way first. Then, they followed behind each other. When the ancient nobles took all the risks, explored the entire ruined city, and suffered heavy losses, it was in line with the secret organization's motivation to emerge again to seize the fruits of victory.
This kind of result is naturally what Suleman does not want to see.
Not to mention that the Mosleyan family among the ancient nobles has a good friendship with him, and they can get help from each other in many places. Taking a step back, Suleman does not want to see the power behind Ms. secret collection.
If the ancient nobles were allowed to explore the way, and when the news came back, maybe the former army was completely annihilated, and a hidden force that lurked and killed won the fruits of victory. If nothing is left to Suleman, the loss outweighs the gain.
With the oriole behind, it is best to do this kind of thing by yourself and not leave it to others.
"We can't wait." Scarci shook her head, her tone unexpectedly firm.
Suleman was slightly taken aback, and instantly understood what the other party meant.
Is this someone going to sprint to the level of 'Member of Amnesty' (third order)? That's right, the ancient nobles lost a big hole card, and they must be more anxious at this moment. Moreover, the three great nobles also have profound backgrounds, and there is no lack of them with second-order powerhouses. Some of them may have reached the threshold of promotion, but they missed an opportunity.
Are they missing the core materials of the ceremony, and they are going to try their luck in the ruined city of Yatu
This... Isn't this the same situation as me? Suleman felt a bit of sympathy for them. Of course, Scarci didn't know that Suleman was also preparing for promotion.
"So you have decided to act?" Suleman asked solemnly.
"Yes, regardless of whether the news is true or not, we have to verify it once." Scarlet nodded earnestly, with strong confidence: "This time to explore the ruined city, the three nobles will join hands. Don't worry, our cards are full of strength. , have the capital to explore the restricted area.”
You were so confident in the last auction. Suleman knew that they couldn't be persuaded. In today's Gangdian City, the ancient nobles desperately need a new pardon councilor. With this goal, they must take a risk.
After all, it was Suleman's actions that brought about the butterfly effect. Within the scope of Gangdian City, everything was different from the previous life.
"So, I invite you to join our operation."
Scarci said seriously, and without waiting for Suleman's reply, she took out another invitation letter: "Of course, you don't need to rush to reply, there is still a day to think about it, we plan to leave the day after tomorrow. And tomorrow, Moss Li'an will join other families to hold a networking party, which can be regarded as entertainment and relaxation before departure, and also allows us to get to know each other better, and on that occasion, I will introduce you to them."
"Also, remember to bring your own female companion."
After finishing speaking, Scarci glanced at Ibis at the table, and suddenly said in an inexplicable tone:
"Your sister is very beautiful, really, I thought Katie was a very good girl, but compared to her, to be honest, Ibis is the most beautiful and temperamental girl I have ever seen .none of them."
"Just, yours."
Scarci paused for a moment, glanced at the black-haired young man, then at the delicate girl with blond hair, and in a joking tone—
"Your pupils and hair color really don't look alike, well, maybe one is a random mother and the other is a random father?"
"Thank you for the great dinner, I have to leave." Scarlett was about to leave.
Suddenly, Suerman seemed to think of something, and stopped her again: "Wait a minute, if you are going to explore the ruined city, then what should you do with the joint suppression with the pilgrims?"
"Hey, do you know about this too?"
Scarlett was a little surprised, but she didn't ask his source, but nodded lightly: "Yes, we are going to explore the ruined city, and we definitely don't have enough manpower to wipe out the city, so the campaign against the Qishenghui can only be done temporarily. Slow down."
"We will hand over the rest of the matter to the pilgrims, and let them take full control of it, and take care of the security of Gangdian City."
"At least in this respect, their interests are aligned with ours."
After finishing speaking, Scarci frowned:
"It's so strange. The people from the Praying Society seem to have disappeared. We searched almost the entire sewer network, but we couldn't find any traces of them. Even, I feel that there seems to be their support inside Gangdian City. Same...don't mention it."
Scarci bid farewell to the two, went out, got into the carriage and left.
The restaurant was quiet again. At this moment, Suleman noticed that the delicate girl sitting beside her was still fiddling with her blond hair with her head down.
"What's wrong?"
Suleman was curious. He found that Ibis was a little strange today, so he couldn't help but look down at her face.
"oops!"
Ibis was startled, and hurriedly raised her head, almost touching Suleman's face. She was a little flustered, leaning against the chair subconsciously, her lips slightly opened and closed, and her tone hesitated: "You really don't care, let me Do you know this?"
What kind of hypocrisy is this guy doing? The well-behaved Suerman was a little confused. However, he looked at the other person's appearance, as a reborn person who had rich experience and knew her character well, and could guess the other party's thoughts. After thinking for a moment, Suer Man guessed the real reason.
By the way, Ibis has not revealed her life experience yet, in her opinion, she has not confessed everything to me.
On the contrary, I 'exposed' my personal situation to her. Comparing the two, Ibis felt a little guilty. She was hesitating whether to keep it secret? But, but I even know your underpants clearly, how many people in the household registration book can memorize it! Suleman thought silently, how should he respond to Ibis next
No need to think, Suleman has followed the game instinct of the previous life, and has made the best choice——
"Don't worry about it, anyway, we can all live in this state for a long time."
"Just treat me like family."
Suleman reached out and rubbed Ibis's hair. This time, the latter didn't dodge, her face was blushing like a painting, shining brightly under the light of the candle. She looked at Suleman. , the small mouth like a cherry opened slightly, and was about to confess her life experience.
As a result, Suleman interrupted her first—
"Okay, even the closest family members have to keep their secrets, right?"
Ibis trembled, and raised her head slightly, but saw Suleman looking directly at her, with a faint smile flowing in his eyes like red wine:
"Tell me everything when you really think of me as a family."
"By the way, remember to finish washing the dishes."
Suleman turned and went upstairs, and waved at her—
"Good night."
Ibis stayed in the dining room and watched his figure disappear upstairs. The next moment, she lowered her head slightly and buried her face in the shadow. Only the slight trembling of her body proved her true state of mind.
a long time,
There was a raving like a mosquito, I don't know if it was scolding the young man, or himself—
"Fool."
