"Be gentle, be gentle, it hurts!"
The banquet was over. In the stone room assigned to him, Regis took off his shirt and there were some bruises and fist marks on his body. Belmord was applying medicine to reduce the swelling, but unexpectedly, Regis was surprisingly afraid of pain, causing the man who had already struck extremely lightly to feel somewhat helpless.
"We are both young masters of Bescot, but Young Master Regis is especially afraid of pain." Belmord shook his head.
Regis snorted, "You mean Allen is better than me?"
"At least I haven't heard Young Master Allen scream like you when he's applying medicine."
"Tsk, I bet that guy is just enduring for the sake of his image. How can it not hurt? He's not a monster. "
"I do feel pain." Allen walked in from outside the door and smiled, "It's just that I can survive. What's that pain? There's nothing luckier than being able to survive a battle. "
Regis was stunned and said, "Don't tell me you're afraid when you fight?"
"Yes, because I'm still a human. Of course, I'm afraid of being killed, so I have to fight even harder. "Allen shrugged and casually patted Regis on the back." Are your injuries serious? "
Regis jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, "Damn Allen, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"
He gritted his teeth as he put on his clothes and said, "I won't die, but that guy's punch is heavy enough. If I had the Magic Energy Fist Armor, it would probably be comparable to William's heavy punch. But if I fight seriously, I have the confidence that I won't lose. "
"That's for the best, but you've already taken out your trump card. They might not have revealed all their trump cards. So if you meet them in the future, don't be careless. "
Belmord frowned and said, "Boss, are you saying that the peace agreement signed with them tomorrow might not count?"
"Yes, but there shouldn't be any problems in the short term. After all, they've seen our strength tonight. Whether it's the Mountain King or Regis, they'll be afraid. Unless their overall strength is much higher than ours, they won't easily start a war. " Allen looked at the night sky outside the window and said, "From the very beginning, I knew that this was just a false peace. The key to the peace was that the strength of both sides was almost the same. Under the premise that the war was not beneficial to either side, peace was formed. But no matter which side is strong enough to break this balance, do you think this peace will still be maintained? "
"Of course not, and there's no need for that. Whether it's me, Sharon, or even Hagrid. No one wants to have a threatening neighbor. "
"You guys have a good rest. There shouldn't be any new tricks in the Black Iron Castle. After signing the agreement tomorrow, we can go back."
When he left, he gave Regis another slap, causing his brother to scream loudly. Allen returned to his house, but he unexpectedly saw Hagrid outside the door.
What was this man doing here?
Allen smiled faintly and said, "Guild Leader Hagrid hasn't rested yet?"
"I couldn't sleep, so I got up to take a stroll. I didn't expect to find Lord Allen."
"Then, do you want to come in and have a seat?"
Allen invited generously, and Hagrid did not refuse. The two of them walked into the room. The two maids were already sleepy, but they still insisted on serving. After they brought the water, Allen told them to go down and rest, leaving only him and Hagrid in the room.
Hagrid suddenly bowed to Allen and said, "I'm very sorry, Sir Sharon. Your arrangements for the evening were completely beyond my expectations. Otherwise, I can remind Lord Allen first. "
"It doesn't matter. I think Sir Sharon also had an impromptu idea."
"Thank you for your understanding. Fortunately, it didn't affect your decision. Otherwise …" At this point, Hagrid smiled bitterly.
Under the light of the fire, half of Hagrid's face was hidden in the shadows, which made him look a little depressed. Allen could tell from his words that it was obvious that Sharon had not informed the Knight Guild Leader about tonight's probing. It could be seen how deep the conflict between them was. However, this was a good thing for Storm City. Next, Allen chatted with him for a while.
Hagrid was very careful with his words, but it was not hard to hear his dissatisfaction with Sharon from between the lines. However, he was very careful to hide this dissatisfaction. Occasionally, he would show it in a word or two, or in a small gesture.
The two of them chatted for a long time, and the content also involved many aspects. During this period, regardless of whether they were testing each other, Allen wanted to use Hagrid to probe the current situation of the Black Iron Castle's power circle, and Hagrid also wanted to figure out Allen's true identity. Thus, after a conversation, the two of them obtained more or less information. However, the authenticity of this information still needed to be carefully sorted out and verified afterwards.
Unknowingly, the moon was high in the sky. Hagrid got up and said goodbye. When he walked to the door, Allen suddenly said, "If Commander Hagrid needs my help in the future, you might as well come to me directly. As long as I can help, I will do my best. "
Hagrid carefully pondered over the meaning of Allen's words, and he seemed to have read a lot of information. Hagrid nodded, but did not say anything. He said goodbye and left. Allen watched him leave before walking back to the house. Hagrid did not refuse on the spot, leaving himself with a way out. Even if he tore apart his face with Sharon in the future, he would still have Allen to rely on. As for Allen, he sprinkled salt on the discord wound of the Black Iron Castle.
The two of them could be said to have gained something.
The next day, Allen and Sharon signed an agreement. The contents of the agreement included a treaty of peaceful coexistence between the two sides. At the same time, the borders of the territories of the two sides were redefined. The new border would be bounded by the Bloodstone Wasteland. As for this wasteland, it would become a buffer zone between the two sides. Storm City and Black Iron Castle would set up military stations on the wasteland to ensure the safety of the wasteland and monitor each other at the same time.
After exchanging agreements, the meeting finally ended in an ideal way.
After that, the two sides returned to the city without saying a word.
After returning to Storm City, Allen summoned officials of all sizes and informed them of the contents of the agreement signed with Black Iron Castle.
"… That is what we have gained from this trip. Commander Legg, I will leave the matter of setting up a military station in the Bloodstone Wasteland to you. Finally, I want to tell you that although Black Iron Castle is not our enemy for the time being, we cannot let down our guard. That's because our neighbor isn't simple. Once we let our guard down, we might face a devastating blow. "
After the meeting, Allen was caught by Lucy. The girl excitedly dragged him to the study of the City Lord's Mansion, and along the way, she mysteriously refused to reveal a single word. Only when she arrived at the study did she take out the Box of Deception and say, "Look, I have deciphered the ciphertext inside!"
"So fast?"
"Of course, don't you see who I am?" Lucy waved the box proudly.
"Alright, Miss Genius Girl, what interesting things did you decipher from the ciphertext?"
Lucy blinked her eyes and said, "It is indeed interesting, and that place may be the key to our return to Earth."
Hearing this, Allen immediately became interested. He reached out and patted her pink buttocks. "Don't keep me guessing. Hurry up and tell me honestly."
Lucy pulled out a large stack of paper from under her desk. Most of them were scribbled words, or some kind of conversion formula. Whether it was handwriting or formulas, they were all words that Allen could not understand. It was obviously Adahua Planet's words. Lucy found one of them. The words on this piece of paper were more orderly, using the words on Earth, so that Allen could read them.
"… That place is finished. At least, in my remaining memories, I don't seem to see any signs of survivors. My transformation is almost complete, damn it! I didn't expect the Empress' cells to be so infectious, so wasn't that idea too arrogant at first? "
"Everything is about to end. I feel like I can no longer maintain my normal logical thinking. How ironic. In the end, I am actually going to transform into a beast! "
"I wonder if any compatriots have discovered this box in the end. Those who wish to decipher the ciphertext, please inform the royal family and destroy the Empress in the depths of the base as soon as possible. Here is the path to the base … "Allen finished reading and said," This is? "
"The director of an experimental base or something, but that's not the point. The point is the so-called Empress and the base. The Empress aside, if there is a base, there will be a communication system. Even if it's our Adahua Planet communication system, with some corrections, I think we should be able to contact Earth. Otherwise, I can contact Adahua Planet and have them relay the message to the Earth Federation. That way, there will be hope for our return! "
Lucy took out another hand-drawn map. "There's another map in the Box of Fraud. Take a look. I've already translated the markings on the map. From the looks of it, the base is near the border. This is very beneficial to us. "
Allen took the map and spread it out on the table. Sure enough, he quickly recognized the Ash Mountain Range, but there were no obvious city markings on the map. It seemed that this planet was still very desolate at that time. Perhaps even the Bailey Empire had not been established yet, and it was unknown what kind of experiments the people of Adahua Planet were conducting on this planet. There was a dotted line drawn on the map. The dotted line came out of the Ash Mountain Range, passed through the current Bloodstone Wasteland, and pointed straight to the Wilderness Highlands behind Purple Roland Harbor.
The end of the dotted line was in a corner in the northeast of the Wilderness Highlands, where the base was located. Lucy picked up the map and waved it, "How is it, Your Highness the Great City Lord? Are you planning to explore with me?"
"Of course, but not just the two of us. Don't forget, there seems to be a queen in the base who can transform people into the legendary demons of the Baymonds. We need to call for more people. "Allen said solemnly.
