Chapter 347
“9 o’clock, balcony on the second floor, half a glass of champagne, and the secret code: the severe winter of Demingham is coming.”
On the way to the manor area, Donald silently recited what Williams told him signal.
This is the first mission he received after he became the Dark Line of Arboretum. It’s just that didn’t expect is so important as soon as it comes up.
As the second largest family in Demingham, the Darren family naturally occupies an area of the manor, which should give people a sense of spaciousness. However, when Donald came to the front door of the Darren family I still felt inexplicably crowded and oppression.
Perhaps it was because there was a street full of cars parked at the entrance of the manor, or maybe it was because of those in groups of three or four, just a glance at it and it was clear that they were all high-class people.
Donald originally wanted to follow these people in, find a random corner in the villa to wait for the connection, and then take the time to get his reward. This trip is considered successfully accomplished.
As a result, when he handed the invitation letter he got to the waiter at the door, he unexpectedly became the one who was specially stopped.
“Mr. Grant, Mr. Darren personally told me to let me pay attention to your presence. He wants to meet you in private before the reception.”
The waiter held a very low profile in front of Donald, who, as someone who could be invited to a private meeting by Mark Darren alone, was entitled to such a courtesy.
“Well, then please show me the way.”
The hand holding the Civilization stick was loose and tight, Donald didn’t understand why Mark Darren did this.
It is true that Donald saved his life, a drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring. I don’t know if the words like a drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring are not popular in this era. There should be some similar words.
But the situation at the time was that Donald, as a member of the Rose Squad, himself participated in the guarding of the new airship, and it was his duty to protect these government officials.
It wasn’t that he wanted to protect Mark Darren. In fact, in order to prevent his escape hot air balloon from being destroyed, he would protect whoever was standing behind him.
It can be said that Donald from the very beginning never thought about asking for compensation, which is why he returned to the villa directly at that time.
Even if the Darren family made it clear that they wanted to repay him, he only felt that it was just a passing scene, so he told them a few things he wanted early, thinking that when he got there, he would not care what the other party could. Just take out a few pieces and keep them, after all, in his opinion, this is a windfall.
However, Mark Darren now has to meet him in private, which inevitably makes him think.
I followed the waiter all the way through the crowd, entered the door from the other side of the villa, and listened to the noisy chatter of the nearby people, which gradually subsided until the third floor.
Every time you walk through a corridor, you can see a heater powered by whale oil, and the temperature of the entire three-story building is so high that Donald, who has walked a long section of the road, wants to unwind. The urge to button up the front coat.
It was just impulsive, he knew that he was going to see Mark Darren later, and naturally he would not act rudely.
The place where the two met was in the study.
Donald thought that what he saw would be a haggard and tired old man. After all, there were so many public opinions in the outside world that aimed at him, and tonight’s drinking party would also be a shame for him to some extent. .
He was wrong.
The man sitting behind the desk was indeed an old man, but his face was only calm and calm, and even after seeing Donald, there was a slight smile on his face.
“Mr. Grant, I’m glad you can come to this reception.”
Mark Darren took the initiative to stand up and stretch out his hand, Donald immediately took two steps forward, also extending the hand .
“I’m flattered that Lord Darren has summoned me in private.”
Donald is not used to this kind of conversation, and can only cope with it by brass oneself.
“My resignation has been submitted to the government. I’m not the deputy mayor now, so don’t be so nervous. I brought you here because I may have some urgent matters later, so prepare before the reception starts. I will give you the reward. I personally went to the warehouse of the Darren family to look at the materials you mentioned. I only found a few of them. I am really ashamed. You can take a look and confirm whether it is accurate. I don’t have good eyes sometimes.”
Put a wooden box in front of him from the other side of the desk and push it towards Donald.
Donald can be considered relaxed when he hears that the other party is missing.
That’s right, the other party didn’t find everything, so he relaxed, because he reported all the materials that he and Stephanie were missing at the time. If Mark Darren helped him find everything, when the time comes, but it’s not that the other party returns the favor.
It may be that he owes the Darrens clansman in reverse.
However, when Donald opened the box, he realized that he seemed to be relieved too early.
Energy shaping innate talent He still lacks five-leaf clover and firescale fish blood. There is no five-leaf clover here, but there is one that seems to be carved out of ice and contains orange red liquid. The bottle, with the name on the front: Firescale Fish Blood.
The Mark Darren family actually has one of the last two materials they need… It seems a bit inappropriate to say that, it should be said that they are willing to pay the firescale fish blood Give it to yourself.
It also comes with some materials that Stephanie needs.
Don’t remember exactly what it was, but looking at the number, although it’s not complete, it’s at most two or three differences.
This return is a bit too heavy.
“Where is Mr. Grant from?”
Looking at Donald who was surprised by the contents of the box, Mark Darren rubbed his fingers on the cane beside him, and suddenly asked road.
“Pushton, a small town, you probably don’t know.”
Seeing the huge harvest in front of him, Donald replied without thinking.
“Preston? It’s Preston, North Yorkshire. It’s a little far from Demingham. How did you come to Demingham to make a living? Do you have friends or family here?”
The topic gradually shifted to personal affairs. Donald’s hand was about to pick up the blood of the fire-scale fish and stopped in the air, and then put it on the edge of the box. The joy in his eyes faded at a very fast speed. And fell into silence.
“You also know that the suppression of infidels in the religious belief zone is very serious. It is no exaggeration to say that life is under surveillance. This environment is really a bit embarrassing. I am a wizard , what is needed is an enlightened living environment, and I happened to get a train ticket to Demingham in a deal, so to speak, by chance.”
Just a few blinks of an eye, Donald Then he found a good reason to say that what he said was the truth.
“so that’s how it is…about the guy we bumped into in that hot air balloon, you said he was a thunderstorm remnant…if I remember right, he It was a voluntary retreat, right? I’m a little curious, how did you do it, just treat it as an additional little question I gave you these materials.”
The topic changed quickly, it seemed It’s because Mark Darren noticed Donald’s defensiveness about his origins.
“Oh, that’s because we had a fight before. I was a little better with my friend. At that time, my friend and I were in good shape. He should be more important. Got something to do, so retreated.”
It was said once before on a hot air balloon, so Donald didn’t hesitate to talk about it.
“So you killed a Dominion powerhouse on a new airship, right?”
Another abrupt change in the topic.
That’s what Mark Darren really wanted to ask!
The intelligence organization under his command got the information later after the crash of the new airship, and found a body on the roof of the new airship. Edward and a woman rushed to the roof of a new airship.
Combining these two pieces of information, the identity of this woman is ready to be revealed.
She died, but Mark Darren knew it wasn’t Behemo Edwards who killed her.
At that time, the new airship was the most powerhouse except for Behemoth Edward, and Matthew Gies and his deputy were by his side and Semir.
It’s definitely someone else’s hand, and this youngster in front of him can scare off a thunderstorm leader-level character just by imposing manner, and his strength goes without saying.
“Uh…”
Donald thought about his temporary choice and didn’t do much cover up and was discovered, but he didn’t expect this Things will be brought up suddenly here and now.
“Don’t get me wrong, I just wanted to ask for proof. It’s a glorious thing for Anomaly Bureau members, isn’t it? I’m just curious, why you don’t publicize it, the credit will be To make you a hero in Demingham, and to help you advance within the Anomaly Bureau, I can write you a reference if you want.”
Mark Darren seems to have decided to kill this dictator The person at the top powerhouse is Donald, a series of words based entirely on the premise of Donald’s acknowledgment.
He’s forcing Donald to admit it.
“No, you can’t do that. It will make me a deadly enemy. I don’t want to be targeted by that kind of organization, so please keep it a secret for me.”
Donald knew that this matter would not stand up to scrutiny, even though he had privately told Horn not to spread the word about his abnormal behavior at the time.
“Oh, of course, of course I will keep your secrets for you. Your strong General is the secret weapon of the Anomaly Bureau. fogey rest assured, my mouth is more reliable than most people in Demingham, and this payment does not only represent me, but also contains the private return of the government’s contribution to you, you can accept it with peace of mind .”
Speaking of this, Mark Darren straightened up, the smile on his face suddenly thickened, life-saving grace is just an excuse, these things are not just used to pay for this Out of kindness, after a pause, he continued,
“Mr. Grant, please allow me to give you a piece of advice. If you want to hide, then you have to hide it to the end, from the moment you kill the enemy Dominant Level From the point of view of the characters, you are naturally on our side, so I will not only help you hide it, but also find a way to suppress this matter. Similarly, you must also keep this secret, Anomaly Bureau… …not as safe as you think.”
In the study, the lights were red and the heater was working, but Donald noticed something in this remark from Mark Darren that sent a chill down his spine. information.
“I see, thank you for the advice, and for your payment.”
At this point, Donald knew what Mark Darren was really trying to tell him.
Demingham appears to be thrown into chaos by the crash of a new airship.
There are still more sinister undercurrents below!
