Chapter 385: False Peace
"Tap, tap, pain!"
The dinner was over, and in the stone house to which he had been assigned, Regers had taken off his shirt and had some bruised fist prints on his body. Belmode was giving him medicine to reduce the swelling, but Regers was surprisingly afraid of pain, which made the man who was already extremely light a little helpless.
"It's also the young master of Beskode, and Young Master Regis is especially afraid of pain." Belmode shook his head.
Regis snorted, "You mean, Allen is better than me?" ”
"At least I didn't hear Young Master Allen shout like you when he was taking medicine."
"Cut, I bet that guy is just suffering for the sake of image. How can it not hurt, and it's not a monster. ”
"Me, it does hurt." Alan walked in from outside the door and said with a smile: "It's just that I can survive, and that little pain is nothing." There's nothing luckier than being able to survive a battle. ”
Regis was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Don't tell me that you will be scared when you fight?" ”
"Yes, because I'm still a human being. Of course, you will be afraid of being killed, so fight harder. Alan shrugged his shoulders and reached out to pat Regers on the back casually: "The injury is okay, right?" ”
Regis jumped up screaming like an electric shock, "Damn Alan, you did it on purpose! ”
He gritted his teeth and put on his clothes, saying, "I can't die, but that guy's punch is heavy enough." If there is a magic fist armor, it is estimated that it can be comparable to Willik's heavy punch. But if I play hard, I have the confidence that I won't lose. ”
"That's the best, but you've already taken out your trump card, and people may not have revealed all your cards. So if you do it in the future, don't be careless. ”
Belmode frowned and said, "Boss, you mean that the peace agreement signed with them tomorrow may not count?" ”
"yes, but it shouldn't be a problem in the short term. After all, they have seen our power tonight, whether it is the King of the Mountain or Regis, they will be jealous. Unless their overall strength surpasses ours by a lot, they will not start the battle lightly. Alan looked out the window at the low-hanging night and said, "I knew from the beginning that this was just a false peace, and the key to determining peace was that the strength of our two sides was almost the same." A peaceful situation was formed on the premise that the war was not beneficial to either side. But no matter which side is strong enough to upset this balance, do you think this peace will still be maintained? ”
"Of course not, and there is no need. It doesn't matter if it's me, or Sharon, or even Hagus. I don't want to see myself with a threatening neighbor. ”
"You guys have a good rest, there shouldn't be any other new tricks on the Black Iron Castle side, just wait for the agreement to be signed tomorrow, and we can go back."
As he left, he gave Regers another slap and slapped his brother to scream, and Alan returned to his house, only to see Haggers outside the door unexpectedly.
What is this man here for?
Alan smiled faintly: "Captain Hagus hasn't rested yet?" ”
"I couldn't sleep, so I got up and walked around, and walked to Lord Allen without thinking."
"So, will you come in and sit down?"
Alan generously invited, Hagus did not refuse, and the two walked into the house. The two maids were already sleepy, but they still insisted on serving. After they brought the water, Alan told them to go down to rest, and he and Hagus were the only ones left in the room.
Hagus suddenly bowed to Allen and said, "I'm so sorry that Sir Sirloin's arrangements for the evening were completely unexpected. If not, I can warn Lord Allen first. ”
"It's okay, I think Sir Sirloin also made a temporary decision."
"Thank you for your understanding, it's good that it didn't affect your decision, otherwise ......" Hagus smiled bitterly at this.
In the firelight, Hagus's face was slightly hidden in the shadows, which made him look a little depressed. Alan could tell from his words that it was obvious that Sharon had not informed the knight leader at all about tonight's tentative move, which showed how deep the contradiction between them was. But that was a good thing for Storm City, and then Alan and he chatted for a while.
Hagus was very careful with his words, but between the lines, it was not difficult to hear his displeasure with Sharon. It's just that he hides this dissatisfaction very carefully, and occasionally expresses it from one or two words, or inadvertent small movements.
The two chatted for a long time, and the content also covered many aspects. During this period, regardless of testing each other, Alan certainly figured out the current situation of the power circle of Guò Hagus knocking on the side of the Black Iron Castle, why didn't Hagus want to find out Allen's true identity. So after some conversation, both of them got more or less information. It's just that the authenticity of this information still needs to be carefully sorted out and confirmed afterwards.
Unconsciously, the moon is in the middle of the sky. Hagus got up to say goodbye, and when he walked to the door, Alan suddenly said: "In the future, if Captain Hagus needs my help if he has any difficulties, he might as well come to me directly." As long as I can help, I will do my best. ”
As Hagus savored the meaning of Alan's words, he seemed to read a lot of information. Hagus nodded, but did not say anything, and left. Alan watched his back leave, and then walked back to the house. Hagus did not refuse on the spot, leaving himself with a way out. Even if he tears his face with Sharon in the future, there is still Allen to take refuge in. As for Allen, he poured another salt on the wounds of the discord in the Black Iron Castle.
The two of them have their own gains.
The next day, Alan and Sharloin signed an agreement. The content of the agreement includes the redefinition of the territorial boundaries of the two sides in addition to the treaty of peaceful coexistence between the two sides. The new frontier will be bounded by the Bloodrock Wasteland, which will serve as a buffer zone between the two sides. Storm City and Blackiron Keep their troops stationed in the wasteland to ensure the safety of the wasteland and keep an eye on each other.
After exchanging letters of agreement, the meeting ended in the desired way.
After that, the two sides went back to the city separately, and they didn't say anything all the way.
After returning to Storm City, Alan summoned officials large and small to inform him of the content of the treaty signed with Black Iron Castle.
“…… The above is the harvest of our trip. Captain Regg, I'll leave it to you about setting up a military station in the Bloodrock Wasteland. Finally, I would like to say to you that although Black Iron Castle is not our enemy for the time being, it should not be taken lightly. Because our neighbors are not simple, and if we relax, we may usher in a devastating blow. ”
After the meeting, Alan caught Lucy. The girl happily dragged him to the study of the city lord's mansion, and mysteriously refused to reveal half a sentence along the way. It wasn't until the study that she took out the fraud box and said, "Look, I have finished deciphering the ciphertext inside!" ”
"So fast?"
"Of course, don't look at who Miss Ben is!" Lucy said triumphantly waving the box.
"Well, Miss Genius Girl, what interesting thing has been deciphered from the ciphertext?"
Lucy winked and said, "It's something interesting, and that place could be the key to our return to Earth." ”
When Alan heard this, he immediately became interested, reached out and patted her powder/buttocks and said, "Don't sell it, tell me honestly." ”
Lucy pulled out a large stack of papers from under her desk, mostly scribbled handwriting, or some sort of conversion formula. Whether it's handwriting or formulas, it's all words that Allen can't understand. It was obviously Adahuaxing's text, and Lucy found one of them from it, and the text on this piece of paper was relatively regular, using the words of the earth, so that Alan could easily read.
“…… The place was finished, at least, and there didn't seem to be any sign of a survivor in the only memory I had left. I'm almost done, damn it! I didn't expect the queen's cells to have such a powerful contagion, so was it really too arrogant to think like that at first? ”
"As soon as the qiē came to an end, I felt that I could no longer maintain my normal logical thinking. It's ironic that at the end of the day, I'm going to turn into a beast! ”
"I don't know if any of my compatriots will find this box in the end, and if you want to decipher the ciphertext, please be sure to inform the royal family and destroy the queen who is located deep in the base. Here's the path to the base......" Alan finished reading and said, "This is?" ”
"The director of some real yàn base or something, but that's not the point. The point is on the so-called queen and base, the queen aside, but if there is a base, there will be a communication system. Even with some corrections, I think we should be able to connect with Earth. Otherwise, I can also contact Adahuaxing and have them relay the message to the Earth Federation, so that we can hope to return! ”
Lucy took out another hand-drawn map: "There is also a map found in the fraud box, you can take a look." I've translated the markings on the map, and it looks like the base is near the Borderlands, which is good for us. ”
Alan took the map and spread it out on the table. Sure enough, he quickly recognized the Asa Mountains, but there were no obvious city markings on the map. It seems that the planet was still very barren at that time, and it may not have even been established in the Bailegon Empire, and it is not known what kind of reality the Idahuas are doing on this planet. There is a dotted line drawn on the map, which starts from the Asr Mountains, passes through what is now the Bloodrock Wasteland, and points straight to the wild highlands behind Violet Harbor.
The end of the dotted line is on a corner in the northeastern part of the Wild Highlands, where the base is located. Lucy picked up the map and raised her head, "How is it, Your Highness the Great City Lord, do you plan to go on an adventure with me?" ”
"Of course, but not just the two of us. Don't forget that there seems to be a queen in the base who can transform people into the kind of demons in the legend of the Baimeng people, so we need to call in some people to be more appropriate. Alan said sternly. R1058
