After sending Ruo La away, Ellen called Wilick and the other two over and asked them to go to the city to buy so necessary things. Such as cloaks and masks, cannot be purchased in the sa shop and needs to be purchased separately. Weapons like their usual weapons were not usable, so that no one would recognize them. Therefore, weapons like long sabers and warhamrs would inevitably need to be purchased. It would be best if they were made of large quantities of goods. This way, even if Gral wanted to trace them afterwards, it would not be easy.
When they heard that Ellen was going to rob Gral, Wilick and Bloy laughed maliciously. They agreed and went down to do it.
In the afternoon, the two of them ca back, each carrying a large bag of things in their hands. Alan counted the items and had already purchased them. He only waited for news of Ruo La. Originally, he thought that he would spend a leisurely afternoon, but unexpectedly, an unexpected visitor arrived.
The guest was brought in by a guard. He showed Ouban's emblem. It was a silver badge, and under Ouban's emblem was a shield, representing the identity of the butler or aide. Allen received him in the hall. He was an Oriental, male, black-haired, black-eyed, and very rare in the Bailey Empire. He bowed deeply to Allen and said, "My na is Long, and I'm Count Oppen's advisor."
"What kind of consultant?" Alan asked casually.
"Managent, military, and strategy are all involved." His language was concise, and he directly focused on the key points. He seed to be a straightforward person.
After the dragon sat down, a servant had already brought him so black tea. Alan shook the silver spoon in his cup and said, "So, Mr. Dragon, is it Earl Oban who has sothing to tell you?"
"No, this is a personal visit." Long Wei Jian was sitting there. His posture was very elegant, carrying the subtlety and dignified deanor of an Oriental. He gave off a ticulous feeling. Such a person must have co from an aristocratic family, otherwise, he would not have been able to cultivate such a temperant.
"Oh, Mr. Long's purpose?"
"I want to discuss sothing with Baron Allen, but before we do, I hope you can retreat." Long Gao said in a deep and unfathomable manner.
Allen said indifferently, "Nothing is impossible to say to others, Mr. Long, but just say it."
"I don't think so." Long faintly smiled. His smile was very refined. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the table, pointing to the lack of water and dust on the table. The dragon's fingertips passed by without leaving any traces behind.
However, Allen's mory was astonishing. As the other party's fingertips moved, a line of invisible words appeared in Allen's mind: A person beyond the heavens!
Alan's expression changed as he stood up with a light cough. First, he ordered the servants and guards to leave, and then he summoned Wilick and Bloy. A mont later, the two of them entered the hall. Alan whispered in their ears, and their expressions changed. Then, he pulled it left and right, walked behind the dragon, and ford a triangular formation with Alan, surrounding the dragon.
Surrounded by the three of them, the dragon's expression was calm as he said indifferently, "Judging from the actions of the baron and the noble family, I can tell that my guess is correct. What a surprise. I didn't expect Sir Allen to co from the Outer World."
"You aren't people from this world?"
The atmosphere imdiately beca serious, and Alan's gaze was like a sword. This was his biggest secret. Once this secret was exposed, he didn't know what kind of impact it would cause. However, no matter what kind of influence it had, it would be detrintal to his current plan. At this mont, he was filled with killing intent and decided that he couldn't let the dragon leave. As for how to explain it to Ou Ban, that was a matter for the future.
The dragon raised his head and shook his head, "Baron Allen, killing is not wise. Besides, I am not the only one who knows the secrets of the heavens and n. You can only kill for a while now. But in ti, when others pay attention to you, this secret will eventually be exposed."
"Celestial? What is a Celestial?" Alan did not let down his guard.
'"This is what our clan said. Celestials are people from beyond the heavens. Our clan has always been engaged in research in this field, and under the influence of our experience, I know a little about them. But I didn't expect that I would actually encounter a real Celestial. This was an accident." The dragon glanced at Ellen and said, "After you arrived, Earl Oban conducted an investigation into your origins. The one entrusted was a local news dealer. Their code na was Black Cat."
"Looks like they found quite a few things?"
"Indeed, at the beginning, they only got basic information. After that, the count asked to follow this matter. Just last month, Black Cat and the others found sothing interesting. For example, you first appeared from the Ash Mountains on the border. However, even the boundless sea behind the Ashes Mountains was not an ideal landing point. Not to ntion the pier, there wasn't even a beach, only dangerous cliffs and cliffs. "I can't imagine how you would land in the Ash Mountains if you ca from the other side of the sea."
"You guys are simply appearing out of thin air."
Ellen narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you think we are the so-called Celestials just because of this?"
"Of course not. I'm a cautious person, so let the Black Cat continue to dig into your affairs. Including the things you used, the equipnt, or where you went. I want to know everything. Of course, I paid the Black Cat a large sum of money for this. And these remuneration can't be reimbursed to the Count." The corners of the dragon's mouth curled into a smile. "Black cats, these fellows, you can't do anything else. There are quite a few holes in your information."
"Beginning with you in Sur City, take out a very novel textile machinery; Not long before you arrived at Ark Harbor, a phenonon of sky flas rising into the sky appeared in the Wilderness Highlands. They dug it out for , and after you arrived. "Especially your main force. They are equipped with weapons that I have never seen before. All of this makes suspect that you are people from the Outer World."
Alan sat down and said in a deep voice, "I'm curious about this. When did you notice that outsiders were visiting this planet?"
By saying this, he was undoubtedly admitting his identity. The dragon had already found out so many things about them. Even if he killed him, he would not change his mind. It was better to admit it generously. From the looks of it, Long was hiding his visit from Ou Ban. In that case, he should not have told Ou Ban the identities of these people.
As for why the dragon did this, Allen believed that he would figure it out for himself.
"Planet? Hey, what a vivid explanation. So this is what you call our world?"
"Sort of."
The dragon nodded and said, "In fact, our clan is not the only one studying the Celestials." The reason for that was because the remains of Celestials had been discovered all over the world, in desolate places. Perhaps it's a city, or so kind of building that we don't understand. In short, people found sothing that did not belong to this world. In other words, those things far exceeded the level of knowledge in this world. The addition of so patterns, portraits, and so on made the discoverer guess. Before life was born in our world, there were already celestials. "
"Since we have history, if we study it carefully, it is not difficult to find that there will always be tis when there will be violent upheavals in the process of civilization developnt. During that period of ti, there will be traces of celestial activities more or less." Long Chen said in a deep voice, "So our clan ca to the conclusion that people from beyond the heavens do exist, and every ti they appear, they will have a great impact on the entire world."
"Apart from your clan, who else is studying the Celestial Realm?"
"Not many, but there are indeed a few. For example, the imperial family has an organization that specializes in the study of celestial ruins, called the Ancient Era's Commission of Inquiry. There is also the Demon King's Court, Saint Alfred, and the Alliance's Shadow Principality. They all have similar organizations."
'"You an, outside the empire, there are countries like Saint Alfred and the Principality of Shadow. And what kind of demon is the forr, and the latter is made up entirely of mutants?"
'"It seems that Baron Allen's understanding of our world is not deep enough, but you have already done a very good job. If it weren't for my good knowledge in this field, I'm afraid I would have treated you as mystical outsiders without knowing your identity as celestials. How can I say that you have done a very good job in integrating into our world?" Long Yinghong said sincerely.
"Alright, it seems that we are too superficial. Then tell , Mr. Long, what should I do with you?" Alan finally said the key.
The dragon calmly said, "Your identities naturally cannot be revealed. Otherwise, the empire's royal family will not let you go." Although your strength is not bad, as long as the royal family is willing to invest money and randomly find one or two of the Ten Saints, it will be enough to destroy all of your resistance and capture soone like Baron Allen, so as to dig out the secrets of the Celestials. Believe , a living Celestial is much more valuable than those ruins. "
"So "
"That's why I won't reveal your identities. You can keep by your side. This way, you can keep under surveillance and house arrest."
Ellen frowned and said, "Mr. Long, what exactly do you want from for keeping my secret?"
"Knowledge. The despicable clan has always studied the culture and civilization of the Celestials. This is also our clan's long-cherished wish. Let stay by your side so that I can learn what I have not learned before. This enormous wealth is enough for to keep your secrets. Also, following you, I can use Sir Allen's power to deal with so people." At this point, another thing appeared in Dragon's calm eyes. "I can't do sothing that I hate to the bones alone. But with Sir Allen, it's another matter. Of course, I will provide all my strength accordingly, including my knowledge of the world, my intelligence, and so on."
"If Mr. Long only wants to take revenge on soone, I think Earl Oban is more competent than , right?"
"No, the count will not offend a mber of the royal family for . However, you are different. Judging from the traces left behind by the Celestials in history, the first step people from the Outer World will take when they arrive in our world is to expand their influence. Sir Allen is no exception. Your goal should not be limited to a single knight's territory, or even a hereditary duke. Perhaps this empire is your goal? "Long Xiao said," So, it doesn't seem like it's a big deal to cut off a royal family mber at the sa ti as you achieve this goal. And Count Orban, and even the other Earls and Marquises, will not go against a royal for an unknown . "
'"It seems that I really can't find a reason to refuse. Alright, Mr. Long, welco to join. However, I am also a cautious person. Especially at a ti when you and I don't know each other well, I want to do so necessary protective asures."
"For example?"
"For example, I will give you so poison that has an incubation period. Every once in a while, if you can't get the antidote from , you will die of poison." Alan said directly.
"Yes," nodded Long. "If this can gain your trust, I am willing to do so."
"Very well, if I am sure that our interests are the sa, I will stop using this thod at that ti. But in the early stages, you know, it is better to be a little more secure."
The dragon stood up and said, "Goodbye then, and Miss Jorah and I will go to the Bauhinia Necklace first. Before Sir Allen stays here, I will maintain my current relationship with Earl Oban. When you are ready to go into the empire, I will naturally disappear."
"Oh, I must remind you not to take Oppenheim lightly. I didn't tell him about you as celestials, but with Sir Allen's current performance, Earl Oban has already sensed your threat. Once your ambition exceeds what he can tolerate, I think he will make a move on you. After all, that was the proposal I gave him earlier, a reasonable proposal. "
"Thank you for informing . I will be careful."
After another bow, the dragon was escorted out by the guards. Ellen took a deep breath and smiled bitterly at the two of them. "I have to go back to Storm City after we've established our footing here. It looks like we need to cover up our origins in more detail. Otherwise, we'll attract the attention of the royal family as soon as possible. Our current strength is still unable to contend against the empire."
"Edward should be qualified for the job." Said Wilick.
Alan nodded and said, "And Father Miro. His Christianity has grown and it's ti to take advantage of the influence of the sect. After that, Father Miro should co to Ark Harbor to preach. Anyway, as long as we have enough influence on the border or in Ark Harbor, it will provide us with a more comprehensive cover."
"That dragon, head, do you plan to believe him?" Broy asked.
"For now, yes. If he wants to reveal our identities, there's no need to be so troubleso. Obviously, he wants to get sothing from us, whether it's knowledge or the power of revenge. As long as we're useful to him, he'll cooperate with us. Of course, like I said, we need to put so restrictions on him. It's ti to invite our potion master over."
