Chapter 117 The Double Undercover Hidden in the Darkness
The two camps of Assassins and Templars have been fighting for thousands of years, and it is not a dispute that Rorschach can resolve in just five years.

So, his thinking is very pragmatic.

No matter which side it is, as long as it is profitable, he can join any side.

Since you haven't met an assassin yet, why not find a way to join the Knights Templar, and then use the information network and resources of the Knights Templar to help you plunder more wealth?

Even if you get in touch with an assassin in the future, and then turn your back on the spot and reveal the information about the Templars to the other party, wouldn't you be able to abandon the dark and turn to the bright?
For Rorschach, who is familiar with the plot, the battle between the two camps of Assassins and Templars is an opportunity.

A good opportunity for him to obtain more resources and information!

However, whichever side you stand in has the risk of being killed by the other side.

And staying neutral is the most stupid way.

So, why not stand on both sides and be a double undercover hidden in the dark!
Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the organizational benefits of the two camps at the same time?

Thinking of this, Rorschach immediately understood how he should answer.

Seeing that he straightened his chest first, raised his chin slightly, and put on a solemn and serious expression, he said in a deep voice:

"I was originally a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty, and my ancestors once served as the commander of the navy. After the country fell, I really didn't want to submit to the foreigners of the Qing Dynasty, so I came to Europe alone, intending to make a name for myself on the sea."

Hearing Rorschach's story really aroused Dikas' interest, "Marine Commander? Excuse me, what kind of position is this?"

"Taking the Spanish Royal Fleet as an example, the captain of the navy is equivalent to the commander of the Royal Fleet."

Hearing this, Dikas frowned, with a look of surprise on his face, "You mean, your ancestors once served as the commander of the Royal Fleet of the Ming Kingdom?!"

"Yes." While nodding, Luo Xia did not forget to put on a proud look.

These days, whether it is the East or the West, origin and background are still very important.

Most European countries are aristocratic.Fame and lineage are the criteria for selecting talents.

As for talent, a little later...

Therefore, in order to gain the attention of Dikas, Rorschach directly fabricated his identity as a Ming nobleman.

Anyway, these Europeans don't know the specific situation of the Ming Dynasty, so they brag about it casually, but Dikas doesn't know about it, and it is impossible to send someone to the far east to investigate.

An ordinary oriental and a noble oriental are two different things.

Originally, Dikas just thought that Rorschach was good at skills and wanted to make friends with him.

Now, knowing that the other party has such a background and story, the heart of friendship has become even more intense.

He knows very well what kind of people to make friends with will help him.

Because he became friends with the current Cuban Governor Torres, so that his smuggling business went smoothly and he became one of the largest arms dealers in the West Indies!

And what can this descendant of the naval commander of the Ming Dynasty bring to him?

Thinking of this, the smile on Dikas' face couldn't help but brighten a bit.

"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Rorschach."

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to raise his hand to draw two circles on his chest, and saluted Rorschach as a nobleman.

"Let's not talk about me, let's talk about you, Mr. Ducasse. You seem to be very famous, my first mate said, and you are friends with the governor."

"Ha, your first mate is quite knowledgeable..."

Dikas didn't deny it, he just picked up the jug, poured a full glass of rum into the delicate glass, and pushed it in front of Rorschach:

"I'm just a Frenchman who trades between gunfire and death."

"Yes, I happen to know some French."

For the first half of the sentence, Rorschach still spoke in English.But the second half of the sentence was seamlessly transformed into fluent French.

Hearing the familiar mother tongue, Dikas was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Rorschach in amazement, and couldn't help but applauded and praised: "Wow, Mr. Rorschach, your French is surprisingly fluent!"

"Thank you for the compliment. I think friendly communication between people is often the most important start. What do you think?"

"I agree very much!"

Nodding in agreement, Dikas immediately picked up the glass and gestured to Rorschach.

The latter understood, smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, and touched it lightly!
"cheers!"

After drinking a whole glass of rum at once, Rorschach wiped the corner of his mouth with his cuff casually, and asked seemingly casually:
"Your Excellency Dikas, no offense intended, what is your main business? We may have a chance to cooperate."

With a noble background, a neither humble nor overbearing attitude, coupled with fluent French, Ducasse's affection for this oriental young man in front of him suddenly doubled.

Therefore, he did not hide his business, raised the corner of his mouth, spread his hands, and replied proudly:

"Muskets, cannons, swords, shells, as long as they kill people, I can provide them."

"Oh, of course there are all kinds of smuggled goods. As long as you want, I can get you!"

"That sounds like a lot of risk..."

Since he dared to say that what he was doing was illegal smuggling, Dikas was naturally not afraid of others knowing.

I saw him laughing, then shrugged his shoulders, and explained as if showing off: "You also know that I am friends with the governor. Besides, the governor has too many things to consider. He doesn't care about such trivial matters. Will care."

Luo Xia was also very face-saving, and just rightly sent a sentence of flattery: "That's right, your Excellency the Governor must also attach great importance to a friend like you who has great powers."

"Hahaha…"

After a pause of laughter, Ducasse blinked his eyes and added meaningfully: "Unlike other Spaniards or Frenchmen, Your Excellency Torres appreciates those talented people very much and is willing to entrust them with important tasks. "

After that, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Mr. Rorschach, how long do you plan to stay in Havana?"

"I happened to have a few shipments with me and it will take time to sell them. I think...will be here for a week or two."

Hearing this, he stretched out his hand to touch the stubble on his chin. After thinking about it, Dikas invited him:

"It just so happens that in a few days, His Excellency the Governor will hold a masquerade ball in his mansion. I think you should come to attend. Your Excellency the Governor will definitely be very happy to meet a noble friend from the far east."

This invitation made Rorschach's heart move slightly.

Obviously, he has initially gained the trust of Dikas.

And this masquerade will be related to whether he can gain the further trust of the Templars, so as to successfully break into the enemy's interior!
Therefore, Rorschach didn't hesitate at all, but just smiled slightly:
"It will be my pleasure..."
