13 Mink Street

Although the Wayne Empire has always insisted on promoting the Makelei language family in the colonies, the Makelei language is still only one of the main languages ​​in the world, not the only one;

For example, in the area where Darkmoon Island is located, its official language is not Maclay but Sidson.

And even between the same language family, the difference in regional culture will have very obvious regional language characteristics, not to mention the huge differences brought about by different language families and the different cultural backgrounds behind them.

Some "greeting" methods with local characteristics are not only differences in dialects, but also jargon or black dialects between different gangs and industries, such as Baota Town River Demon, and Dizhen Gaogang, a school of beautiful streams and mountains through the ages;

The purely literal translation of this kind of discourse is often very different from its original meaning, and it can even be said that the words do not express the meaning.

It’s like what Karen once said about “down to earth”, which meant that Alfred really understood the meaning, but in the ears of Pu’er, Kevin and the people they relayed, the meaning of this sentence is more like “ Catching the breath and will of the earth", it has infinitely moved closer to the teachings of the Mother of the Earth Sect.

Of course, Pu'er definitely didn't mean to trick Karen, because she had no reason to dig a hole for her great-great-great-great niece.

The real reason is that Pu'er racked his brains to tell Karen all the information about Dark Moon Island that he could find in his memory for the pickled fish.

Including in the past sunset, a handsome young patriarch looked at her side face and said to her: "It is the mottled under the afterglow of the dark moon, which allows me to see the real you."

As a result, his affection was exchanged for the indifference of the girl in front of him. The girl even asked him in an extremely perfunctory way:

"Oh, what do you mean?"

The young patriarch's expression was gloomy, and he forcefully explained with some disappointment:

"This is just an ordinary way of greeting our friends on Darkmoon Island."

Pu'er told Karen this sentence and the explanation;

Because back then, she didn't care about the young patriarch who had been stalking and rejecting her countless times and still wanted to cling to her, so naturally she couldn't understand the "affectionate" in the words and the true meaning it expressed.

For Karen, saying a slang term in the other party's hometown in a "diplomatic occasion" is a kind of respect for the other party, just like in his previous life, he knew that Chinese and foreign guests recited an ancient poem in a very crappy way to attract everyone's support Like cheers.

He also knows that the reason why Neo placed himself in this position is to "enliven" the atmosphere, because Neo's team has no shortage of players who can play, but what they lack is people who can see and be decent.

Then, he rolled over.

However, this "King Kong Barbie" didn't feel offended. She used her image at this time to create a naughty and playful girl image, and she responded appropriately.

The rest of the delegation, seeing their lady responding in such a gesture, suppressed their emotions, and no one yelled at Karen for his "disrespect" and "insulting" behavior;

Karen is also in the light of the Cult of Kosmos. If the forces behind the two sides are reversed, then what Karen said is probably a serious diplomatic incident.

On the contrary, Fanny and Xie looked at Karen differently. They really didn't expect that the little pony they had been teasing before would be so fierce.

"King Kong Barbie" got into the car, Karen and Fanny also got into the car, and the business car started to move.

However, the aftermath of the matter did not end, but was confined in this car.

"You seem to be very familiar with our Dark Moon Island?"

Ophelia didn't take off her armor, and when she sat face to face with Karen in the car, she looked very tall and burly.

Karen replied honestly: "I'm sorry, miss, if I were really familiar with the customs and culture of Darkmoon Island, I wouldn't be so abrupt and offensive."

At this time, it is impossible to directly say what I misunderstood the meaning of this sentence, otherwise it will be a second injury, and I can't explain it in front of an outsider.

"It doesn't matter. In my perception, you Wien people have always had this kind of personality, free and easy, romantic and unrestrained. I think this is very good."

"Yes, thank you for your understanding."

"I was on the boat when I came in, and I read a copy of the Wien poet's diary, and I was like, wow, that's true, and now I'm sure, that's true.

Have you read that book? "

"Miss, is it "Luo Jin's Secret Diary"?"

"Yes, that's it. It seems that you have seen it too."

"Yes, I have."

"Then you said, is everything written in that diary true?"

"no."

"Oh, no?"

"Some things were cut out. For example, Luo Jin himself had an extramarital affair with Her Majesty the Queen, but this content was cut out when it was published, because he didn't expect that after fifty years of his death, the Queen's His Majesty himself is still alive."

"Hahahahaha!"

Ophelia laughed, and slapped her legs with her hands while laughing, and there was a "clang" sound between the armor and metal.

"Her Majesty the Queen passed away not long ago. It is estimated that a new version of "Rojin's Secret Diary" will be published soon. At that time, I can mail a copy to you, Miss."

"Okay, okay, sure, don't forget."

The queen's age stalk has always been used by other countries to tease the Wien people. The Wien people themselves will tease them in private, but they rarely put them on the table. This is a basic respect for the royal family.

But there is no such taboo in church circles. Even Pu'er said that his family has fallen to the point where he wants to accompany the queen to have afternoon tea. For the real orthodox big church, the so-called taboo of the royal family is just a joke. .

"How long until the hotel?" Ophelia asked.

Fanny replied: "Miss, there are still about twenty minutes."

"Oh, I want to take off the armor sooner, because I am worried that it will leave a heavy psychological shadow on my confessor, which is not good."

Fanny smiled and said, "We'll be there soon. There will be a simple welcome banquet in the evening. There will be three bishops from the York City Region to welcome you. There is no itinerary for tomorrow. Miss, you can get a full rest and communicate with each other. The meeting officially started in the morning of the day after tomorrow, but it was just an exchange meeting, and you don’t need to attend, Miss, just let your assistant attend to exchange basic intentions.”

"The formal meeting is two days later?"

"Yes."

"It's a very thoughtful arrangement, you guys have a heart."

"this is what we are supposed to do."

"It's two days, but I'm tired of staying on the boat. I want to go out for a walk and get some fresh air. I don't want to just stay in the hotel, is that okay?"

"This requires us to apply and report to the higher authorities. If you really need this, we will give you an answer after you arrive at the hotel and after the welcome dinner.

But in order to ensure your safety, we need to know your itinerary, that is, where you want to go, in advance. "

Ophelia smiled.

asked:

"Do you know, Allen Manor?"

Fanny was stunned, she didn't know, then she looked at Karen and asked, "Karen, do you know?"

Allen Manor used to be very famous, after all, it was the family of the leader of the pirate legion in the past, but the decline of recent generations has made it gradually forgotten in the mainstream circles. It is normal for Fanny not to know Allen Manor, because This at least shows that Allen Manor is not breaking the law...

After all, normal families probably don't want to be remembered by the Whip of Order.

Karen pretended to be thinking, but he was actually hesitating, but in the end he decided to speak out, because whether he knew about Ellen Manor or not, Fanny and the others would know as soon as they arrived at the Grand Hotel, and if O If Filia really wants to go, she probably can do it, so it's better to let yourself take the initiative in advance.

"The Allen family used to be a well-known pirate family in Wayne. There are still legends about the ancestors of the Allen family in many adventure stories. Now this family is in charge of the production of some workshop industries, most of which are dedicated to my order. The manor is located in West of Yorktown."

"Yes, yes, this is Allen Manor." Ophelia said, "You know a lot."

Karen replied: "I just like reading novels."

Fanny smiled and said, "Miss, we will apply and report the result to you after the dinner, but I think it will probably be all right."

"Thank you, and thank you to the Cult of Order."

Karen asked; "Miss wants to go to Allen Manor, is it also because of the pirate story?"

"Pirates? Well, yes, our family did have some contact with the pirates of the Allen family in history. However, I was ordered by my parents to go to Allen Manor to visit the grave of an old friend."

On the orders of my elders? That infatuated young patriarch is still alive?

How can he survive till now? Pu'er can live up to now because of the finger of the God of Light, and because she turned into a cat. By various chances and coincidences, she gained a longer lifespan.

A long lifespan will definitely pay a price, and being a cat for a hundred years is the price paid by Pu'er;

So what about that one?

And... grave sweeping?

The cat is probably still drinking coffee in his apartment now, and someone is going to visit its grave now.

But the problem is that there is no tomb of Pall Allen in the ancestral cemetery in Allen Manor.

"Miss, can you tell me what kind of old person it is?" Karen immediately explained after asking, "We need to evaluate the emotional tendency of the Dark Moon Family and Allen Manor to determine the security level."

Karen said the second half of the sentence while looking at Fanny.

Fanny nodded and said, "Yes, this is very important."

"Oh, that is a very beautiful love story." Ophelia continued with a look of longing on her face, "An ancestor of my family once met and knew each other in the sea with a young lady from the Allen family. Adventure, they travel together, face all kinds of unknowns together, and love each other deeply."

Karen blinked, because he had a hunch that the story seemed untrue.

"However, perhaps due to the arrangement of fate, this pair of lovers is doomed not to be together forever. Under the guidance of Dark Moon, the ancestor of my family must return to Dark Moon Island to inherit the position of patriarch.

Because in his heart, loyalty to Dark Moon undoubtedly ranks first, just like your belief in order.

Therefore, even though the young lady of the Allen family cried bitterly in the storm to persuade her to stay;

But the ancestor of my family resolutely abandoned this relationship, returned to Darkmoon Island, inherited the position of patriarch, guarded the family, and guarded Darkmoon.

But in my heart, the ancestor of my family has always remembered the woman who made him love deeply and made him feel guilty. There is still a temple on Darkmoon Island. The residence built by an ancestor for her, he often came here, thinking of his former love, remembering that period of love. "

Karen felt that this "love story" must not be heard by the cat in her family, otherwise it would definitely go crazy.

Fanny asked: "Then over the years, hasn't that ancestor of your family sent anyone to contact her again?"

"The Dark Moon Family can't leave Dark Moon Island at will," said the female warrior who had previously "disguised" herself as Ophelia.

Fanny smiled and said, "But normal communication is possible, right?"

It is impossible to leave Darkmoon Island at will. This is also the shackles of the major churches on the Darkmoon family. It is treated the same as the bloodthirsty monsters of the Anavas family, but the rules are dead and people are alive. You come out at will, are you really so well-behaved that you won't come out secretly?

How did you know that lady and fall in love if you didn't come out secretly?

These are all unspoken unspoken rules.

Ophelia replied: "The ancestor of my family did send someone to inquire about her. Although he couldn't leave Darkmoon Island himself, he hoped to compensate the woman he had hurt, but the information he obtained was not Yes, not only did she leave her family, but she disappeared very quickly, and her family members could not find her.

Probably, it was the pain of losing her lover, which hit her too hard, and she couldn't accept this reality. "

Karen said with emotion: "Yes, it must be so."

"However, I think that she should return to her roots. She should return to the family quietly at the end. Therefore, I hope to visit her grave on behalf of my ancestor. By the way, I will give a certain amount of funding for Allen Manor. compensation."

Karen had previously named the workshops of Allen Manor, and now most of them are dedicated to the Cult of Kosmos, and also specifically asked the other party's emotional inclination towards Allen Manor;

This is already a certainty to a certain extent, at least the Dark Moon Family will not be detrimental to Allen Manor.

This is the advantage of a long family history. Even if the current generation is not up to date, even if it is a licking dog of the ancestors back then, a hundred years later, it can still take care of the family.

So, should I notify old Anderson in advance and repair Pu'er's tomb as soon as possible?

And it needs to be made old in advance, and some sad words should be mentioned under the tombstone to exaggerate the atmosphere?

However, Karen also noticed that Ophelia said at the beginning that she was following the orders of the elders of the family, but in the following narration, it became the ancestor of my family, so, is she not alone?

Or, it was a person, but she changed her words below?

Fanny smiled and said, "Okay, we will arrange it."

"Thank you, thank you for the order, and thank you Mr. Karen. I originally thought that I would enter a boring schedule after I landed, but I didn't expect to meet such an interesting person as you, which made me very happy."

"It is our responsibility to protect your safety, miss. On this basis, it is also our job requirement to make you feel at home."

At this moment, the driving driver turned his head and said, "The captain warns us, we need to stop."

The car stopped.

This location is still on the outskirts of York City. The VIP car did not go directly from the urban area, but took the circular route. Because the hotel arranged is not located in the city center, but on the seashore, so there are no vehicles on the road at this time. not much.

Fanny said calmly at this time: "Miss, please rest assured, we will protect your safety."

Ophelia smiled and said, "Of course, I believe my safety can be fully guaranteed."

Is there an assassination attack?

Karen didn't know who the target of the assassination was, was it aimed at the Dark Moon Family or the Cult of Order?

The enemies of the Darkmoon family may launch targeted assassinations to disrupt the talks, just like when the Anavas family talked at the beginning. Of course, other churches may also disrupt the negotiation process of the Cult of Order during this period.

The source of the news is also very complicated. It may be the other party's intelligence system, or it may be the Dark Moon family who revealed that they wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, or it may even be the Cult of Order who deliberately leaked it and wanted to knock the mountain to shake the tiger.

"Miss, what would you like to drink?" Fanny asked.

"Ice water, thank you."

Fanny poured drinks for everyone in the car, and when it was Karen's turn, Karen said, "Red wine."

"OK."

Everyone has drinks in their hands.

Ophelia held up the ice water and said, "Cheers to your reception."

"To your safety, cheers."

Soon, strange sandstorms appeared on both sides of the road, and quickly covered the surrounding area. This seemed to be a magic technique of the Earth God Sect. Of course, it could also be the killer's method of framing.

Immediately, streaks of black mist submerged into the wind and sand, and immediately after, blood began to appear in the wind and sand.

The speed of killing is very fast.

The female warrior looked outside in shock, and said, "Your security team... is amazing."

Let the "military officers" around the delegation express such emotions, proving how terrifying the real strength of the Neo team is. This is not a prepared assassination, but an unsolicited slaughter.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Xie Mao chanted:

"Order—defense boundary!"

A huge black starburst appeared under the VIP car, and then, densely packed fishnet lines wrapped the entire car.

next moment,

An assassin wrapped in a yellow cloak escaped.

Yes, escaped, because Karen saw Neo standing there, and seemed to deliberately not kill him.

The lone assassin who fled in a hurry actually fled to the front of the hunted target. It seemed that even he himself seemed very dazed and felt that something was wrong.

Because the assassination on his side had encountered a terrifying blow when it was first launched, when he faced the assassination target now, he did not have the joy of imminent success, only deep bewilderment.

He seemed not to be able to see the grid boundary outside the VIP car, so he plunged in, and then his body was cut up instantly, and the body parts were "splashed" on the car door.

"Miss, this is the person who assassinated you."

According to Fanny, it looks like a tour guide leading a group to visit a zoo, explaining the animal species inside the glass.

"Oh, then I'll have to buy him a toast, too."

Ophelia was not frightened at all. Karen noticed that she even looked at the blood dripping from the car window as the body parts fell, and licked the corner of her lips;

Then, he raised his water glass, took a big sip, and showed some enjoyment.

The assassination was quickly stifled. A team member wearing a black mask came over with a bucket and a cleaning stick. He first pulled off the body parts, drew a love heart with blood on the car window with his fingers, and then wiped it all away. .

"Hehehe."

Ophelia smiled happily when she saw this scene.

Xie Yao restarted the car, and after a quarter of an hour, he entered the "Ankara Hotel", a hotel named after the daughter of the God of Order.

This should be a hotel directly managed by the Cult of Order. The security is tight inside, and the people who can live in it are not ordinary people. Even the royal family needs to queue up to apply for staying here for one night.

After the car was parked, Fanny led the way and continued the check-in procedures, Karen and Xie followed behind, and sent the three of Miss Ophelia to the room on the eighteenth floor.

Miss Ophelia needs to wash up and get ready to attend the welcome banquet tonight. Karen and the others are personal security personnel, and the room is opposite Miss Ophelia.

After Karen walked into the room, he washed his face in the bathroom first, and then heard some movement outside. However, this hotel not only has good sound insulation between rooms, but also every room in a single suite.

When Karen hung up the towel and walked out of the bathroom, he saw a group of people wearing black masks sitting on the sofa in the small living room of the suite, except for Michelle and Fanny, each holding a glass of wine. Some still had blood left on their bodies, but probably not their own.

Neo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, turned around and looked at Karen with a smile on his face.

At this time, one of the team members wearing a black mask stood up, and Karen recognized his voice. It was Marlowe who was wearing a police uniform last time. Marlowe twisted his body and shouted:

"Brothers stand up!"

all stand up;

"Come on, let's pay respects to our new member, Karen!

Because he was the first warrior in the security history of the Cult of Kosmos who confessed his love to the security target as soon as they met! ! ! "

All the people, including Michelle, Fanny, and even Neo, held a wine glass in one hand, stretched out the other hand towards Karen, bent their knees, and kept bobbing up and down in worship.

"Worship our warrior Karen!"

"Worship our warrior Karen!"

"..." Karen.

At this time, another person with a black mask on his face changed his movements, and everyone looked at him. From his voice, Karen could tell that he was Zema.

I saw Zema crossed her hands in front of her body, twisted her body, pointed her toes on the ground, and kept drawing circles on the carpet, pinching her throat and saying shyly:

"Oh, may I reconsider your confession?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Everyone laughed.

At this time, Neo said: "Okay."

When the captain spoke, everyone fell silent and stood up straight.

Neo pointed to a glass of wine on the coffee table, and Karen walked over to pick it up.

"Don't think about it, today, we officially welcome our new player, Karen!

remember,

We are a pack of hounds!

Between the hounds..."

Everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison:

"Don't escape, don't give up, don't betray!"
