Embers Ad Infinitum

Vol 2 Chapter 121: Reception room

When the scene was a little quiet, Shang Jianyao suddenly said in "panic":

"You want to kill people?"

Butler Ulrich froze for several seconds before responding:

"Mr. Di Marco allows you to bring weapons, but you cannot wear military exoskeleton devices."

I am very confident... Jiang Baimian came back to his senses, after a little thought, he decided to agree:

"Great."

No matter what reason DiMarco suddenly wanted to see them, this was a rare opportunity.

Moreover, before entering the "Ark below the ground", you can also go to the church to report to it, so that safety can be more guaranteed.

When going out to his jeep, Jiang Baimian did not conceal his doubts, and directly asked Ulrich’s butler:

"Why did Mr. Di Marco suddenly change his mind? He only refused our request to meet yesterday."

Ulrich shook his head slowly:

"I'm not too clear. I just follow the master's instructions."

Jiang Baimian was about to ask what unusual things had happened in the "underground boat" from last night to now, or what news did Di Marco know. Shang Jian Yao already asked curiously:

"Are you really sure that it is still Mr. DiMarco? He has been wearing a mask every day recently."

Good question... Jiang Baimian closed his mouth and waited for Ulrich to respond.

Ulrich glanced sideways at the four members of the "Old Tune Team":

"If one of you is replaced, even if the pretender's hair color, height, and figure are very close to the original one, and always wear a mask, will you not recognize it?

"If it is only a brief contact in an emergency, it is indeed possible to be confused, but living together every day, habits, manners, hobbies, manners, accents, etc. cannot be concealed, unless they have been observed for many years in advance, and this is. In the ark below the ground, it is impossible. There are counts of whoever is dead and who is alive."

"Indeed." Jiang Baimian agreed with Ulrich's statement.

After each of them got in the car, they went all the way to the Vigilant Church north of the ruins of the city.

After exchanged a few words with the alerter Song He, the four "Old Tune Team" followed Ulrich to the basement floor and entered one of the elevator halls.

There are three heavy gray-black elevators, with two small LCD monitors inlaid in the space between them.

After Ulrich was in video communication with the inside of the "boat below the ground", one of the elevators opened the door.

The interior of the car is well maintained, with a wooden floor underneath, and the metal walls around it can be seen.

"The dedicated reception room is on the second basement floor. For you, it will be relatively easy to escape from the Ark." Ulrich introduced.

"Thank you." Jiang Baimian didn't know how to reply, so he simply learned from Shang Jian Yao.

While they were speaking, the elevator doors closed in front of them, and the box slowly sank.

Soon, the elevator stopped, and the four members of the "Old Tune Team" saw a long beige carpet spread outside.

Along the hallway with thick carpets and lit wall lamps, they arrived at a room where there were eight people guarded.

Two of them are also wearing gray-black military exoskeleton devices, which look like newer models.

No wonder we are allowed to carry weapons... Long Yuehong suddenly realized.

The firepower of the "boat below the ground" has an absolute advantage!

Ulrich knocked on the door, waited for two seconds, and said:

"Master, the guest is here."

"Let them in." A slightly magnetic voice came from the room.

Pushing open the embossed red wooden door, Jiang Baimian habitually looked around to see the situation inside.

This seems to be a normal reception room, with coffee tables, sofas, carpets, wooden cabinets, chairs, and crystal chandeliers. Apart from being more luxurious, there is nothing special about it.

At this time, Di Marco was alone in the room.

His temples were linen, he wore old-world style black priest robes, an old-fashioned soft hat of the same color and a mask with black background and white stripes, because he was sitting and he could not see his height.

With light blue eyes swept away, Di Marco pointed to the couch opposite the coffee table and said:

"sit down."

After Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others took their seats, Ulrich's butler exited the room and closed the heavy wooden door.

When Di Marco was about to speak, Shang Jian Yao suddenly smiled:

"You are not a qualified vigilant sect."

DiMarco put his right leg on his left leg and asked without irritation:

"How to say?"

His voice is a standard baritone, with a bit of magnetism, using the pure Old World Red River language in the Nuhu area.

"Your guards are at the door. If we launch an attack without warning, we can completely subdue you before the support of two military exoskeleton devices and make you a hostage." Jiang Baimian explained in place of Shang Jianyao. "This is really not vigilant enough."

DiMarco leaned back slightly and laughed:

"Maybe it's because I have enough confidence?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jian Yao asked curiously and enthusiastically:

"You are stronger than that murloc envoy?"

DiMarco was speechless for a while, and then said after a few seconds:

"Maybe there is something else in the room."

He didn't continue the topic, he raised his hand to touch his black mask with white stripes, and exhaled:

"I'm looking for you to talk about the temple on Huxin Island and Yan Hu."

Yan Hu...The sleeping "god"? Jiang Baimian asked in surprise:

"You know Yan Hu, no, your ancestors knew Yan Hu?"

She didn't expect DiMarco's invitation because she waited for someone to explore the temple.

DiMarco leaned back on the back of the single sofa, smiled and said:

"In the early years, when my great-grandfather and grandfather were still alive, I heard about Huxin Island and Yan Hu.

"That was the end of the chaotic era. The Ark began to connect with the outside world and exchange supplies. The intelligence agent sent by my grandfather and the relic hunters in the surrounding area. Oh, it shouldn't be called this, because there is no hunter guild. In short, they all He noticed the situation of Huxin Island and learned of the existence of Yan Hu.

"Yan Hu has demonstrated extraordinary magical and powerful power and was treated as a god. After we accepted the Vigilant Sect and believed in'You Gu', we knew that this might be a very powerful awakened person.

"In the beginning, we had too many things and never had a chance to establish contact with Huxin Island. Later, they suddenly closed the island and no one went out.

"Gradually, my grandfather and my father also forgot about this incident. Anyway, the change of the island in the lake did not affect the Ark.

"I heard that you went to Huxin Island last night, and after exploring Yan Hu's temple, I was suddenly a little curious, so I wanted to invite you to come and have a chat."

I’m afraid it’s not just a bit of curiosity... This incident actually allows you to break the rules of "a boat below the ground" for many years and invite outsiders to enter... You and Yan Hu definitely have a certain connection... At this moment, Jiang Baimian's mind flashed inward. Several thoughts passed.

"It turned out to be like this." She put on a posture that I already understood everything, and roughly talked about her exploration with Shang Jian Yao. The only thing she didn't mention was when Shang Jian Yao used the Awakener's ability to influence the sleeping Yan Hu. I saw someone crawling in the darkness calling for help.

DiMarco tapped the armrest of the sofa with his right index finger, repeating a phrase thoughtfully:

"new world……"

He seemed very concerned about it.

A few seconds later, DiMarco looked around and said with a smile:

"Thank you for sharing. Don't you want to know about the old world? You can ask questions."

He didn't get to the bottom, giving people the feeling that he didn't care about whether the "Qianbai Team" concealed any gains.

This is extremely contradictory to the care shown before.

Jiang Baimian calmed his doubts and asked:

"Mr. DiMarco, did your ancestors know in advance that the old world will be destroyed?"

DiMarco shook his head:

"He is just an avid doomsday lover, and he happens to be richer and more powerful."

"So was there any sign before the destruction of the old world? Did you encounter anything before hiding in the'Ark below the Earth'?" Jiang Baimian asked.

DiMarco said in a reminiscence tone:

"I heard from my grandfather that they first avoided the sudden war before they decided to hide in the'underground boat'. As a result, not long after,'unintentional illness' broke out outside.

"It was not spared inside. Many servants became'unintentional' without warning and brought a **** mess. My great-grandfather took my grandfather and other family members to further isolation. Fortunately, "No Heart Disease" does not seem to be infectious."

Sure enough, disorderly wars and "unintentional illness" are the apparent reasons for the destruction of the old world... Even those who hid underground in advance will suffer "intentional illness"? The company organized the survivors to enter the underground building only after the outbreak of "unintentional disease"... Jiang Baimian remembered a few key points, and then asked about other things.

After some exchanges, they have a certain understanding of the old world state of the ruins of the city of Hongshiji:

The north and west of the Nuhu Lake area belong to the gray people, and the east and south of the Nuhu Lake area enters the Red River Basin. Nuhu is the national boundary between a country that speaks the gray language and a country that speaks the Red River language.

Therefore, on the islands in the lake, some people live with dust people, and some live with Honghe people.

The ruins of the city of Hongshiji are located in the southeast corner of Nuhu Lake. It originally belonged to the Red River country. However, because it is a border city, many gray people have settled and the population of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com exceeds 30%.

DiMarco’s ancestors were the largest builders in the country where the city belonged, and he maintained good relations with many local parliamentarians.

"Thank you for your answer." After confirming that Di Marco could not extract more information related to the destruction of the old world, Jiang Baimian said thank you sincerely, and then added, "We have two simple questions. ."

Without giving DiMarco a chance to refuse, she asked directly:

"Have you ever seen a relic hunter named Lars?"

While talking, she took out the photo Lehman gave.

"Lars?" DiMarco suddenly laughed. "You can go back and tell Lehman that Lars has found his true love in the Ark. If he doesn't believe him, he can come to the Vigilance Church, and I will let Lars Have a video conversation with him."

"Huh?" Jiang Baimian and others did not expect such an answer at all.
