Heather who counterattacked

When Ulysses arrives at White Castle, Cyril is taking a nap.

It is extremely impolite to visit even a close friend at this time, but now the highest person in charge representing the Duke in the castle is the butler Naiden. So I didn't take this faux pas as a thing at all.Go to greet, understand the purpose of coming, arrange entertainment, a series of processes are orderly.

Ulysses felt that something was wrong at first, but it wasn't embarrassment, but he changed his mind and took the identity of Cyril to think about it, and found that such interruption was really annoying.Originally, I also planned to wash up and take a rest. After all, I participated in the selection and evaluation of the entire dark camp preliminary round in the French Foreign Legion, and now I just got off the plane in the dusty world—but seeing Kroen, who looked very familiar and at ease, jumped off his head. Then, with elegant and light steps, he jumped straight up the stairs and turned into the corridor, and his body followed up without any fear before his thoughts came to him.

The carved wooden door has a special pattern of metal decorative lines. Perhaps it is a problem with the light, and the color tone is slightly darker, but it is not as complicated as imagined. It is a simple and elegant low-key luxury.The heavy door opened with Klon's paw, and Ulysses stepped in quickly when he saw it without looking back, blinked his eyes, turned his head to look at the ghosts and ghosts, and stood respectfully behind him with lowered eyes Naiden, who couldn't see the expression, raised his hand and pushed the door wide, and walked in.

A small living room.Metal chandeliers, tables and chairs inlaid with precious stones, brightly colored and well-preserved murals on the wall frame, a small door opened on one side, and a slightly larger hall can be seen. A large curved bookcase, several books are stacked on a gorgeous rocking chair, presumably they are reading, and the other side is probably the door, which is covered by a thick silk curtain, dark red, with bronze vines rolled on it At a glance, you can't tell whether it is a pattern or a metal decoration.

Ulysses knew how complicated the rooms of this kind of ancient castle were. The living room, study room, cloakroom, and washroom were stacked together one after another. He stared at the chairs in the living room for a long time, but he really didn't dare to walk around.

He randomly picked a chair and sat down. Naiden, who appeared at an unknown time, had already served tea. He was looking up at the murals of the scenery. As soon as he picked up the teacup, the door covered by the curtain was pushed from the inside. It opened, and Ulysses glanced at it, and Cyril came out with a frown.

Behind him is not the bedroom as he thought, but a room similar to an aisle, with decorative antiques, sculptures and oil paintings on both sides.There is also a door on the side, which is closed, and it is not known what is inside.At the bottom of the corridor was a door that looked different, half open, dimly lit, supposed to be a bedroom—it was a maze.He sighed silently.

Cyril held Kroen in her arms and stared down at Ulysses.

At that moment, the latter's heart couldn't stop beating wildly.For Cyril, the habit of dignified manners and dignified appearance has long been deeply rooted in the marrow of his bones, and the etiquette taught by the royal family will not be missing, and Cyril's paranoia has reached a certain limit, and he is required to dress disheveled It is harder than killing him to appear messy in front of others. Even Naiden, the personal butler, can see him without image.

Ulysses had seen him in a loose nightgown before, when he happened to come across him at Lyoch's mansion.Moreover, even though he had loosened his hair at home at that time, the calmness between his eyebrows and eyes had never changed, and his indifference was so intimidating that he couldn't look directly at him, but at this moment, his eyes were hazy and sleepy, and his brows were even frowning because his brain was chaotic and he couldn't discern his thoughts clearly. It was indeed the first time that he looked confused.

"... Yuli." Cyril said slowly.

Klon nestled lazily in his arms, wagging the tip of his tail slightly comfortably.Squatting on Ulysses's head all the way without moving, the ground of the castle is so shiny, the four paws are clean at the moment, looking at the cleanliness people like Xi Ruier, they don't hesitate to hold it in their arms Here, it can be seen how favored this cat is.

Ulysses’ heart gushed out a hot current that he couldn’t explain clearly because of the name call. It was so hot that it seemed to pour out a certain layer of film that had been covering something. He almost avoided it in fear, and forcibly turned his attention Move to Kroen's body.

It really has a certain degree of resemblance to its owner, elegant and calm, even the understatement and calmness of looking around are similar.Ulysses refused to admit that it was from this rather similar shadow that he indulged Kroen so much.

Cyril pulled out another chair and sat down, her brows never loosened.

It was only then that Ulysses noticed that his complexion was not good, and there were even faint dark circles under his eyes, which made his face pale and indifferent: "What did you do to make yourself so tired?" Even if it was him, he looked It's even more radiant than this guy who stays at home all day.

Cyril still lowered her eyelids, as if she didn't hear what he was saying, and still looked a little dazed.

Ulysses suppressed his curiosity reluctantly, put down the teacup that had been hanging in the air for a long time, shook his hand without changing his face, took a sip of tea again, and said to himself: "The selection process is over, the mercenary king process still has four days to formalize." Start. Things are similar to what we guessed at the time. This dark camp individual competition will be used as the basis for the selection of members of the Knights. Although the news released by the alliance is gradual and half-concealed, for those of us who have already predicted that the Knights will restart That being said, it is not difficult to see what the alliance really intends."

He took another sip of tea and continued: "Angel originally wanted to completely withdraw from the individual competition, but later felt that it was too deliberate and gave the initiative and autonomy on the premise of soliciting the individual opinions of the members. Two people signed up. It was Vivienne With Dempsey."

Cyril raised her eyelids slightly, and glanced at him in a serious manner.

There was no haze and confusion in the pupils of the eyes, and he was still the black-haired nobleman who was calm, self-sufficient, and calm to the point of terror.

The names of these organizations on the gray path are very interesting, no matter how simple the original intention is to decide on the name, in the end they will always be affixed with various prefixes and suffixes because of their characteristics.For example, the angel organization, God knows that Ulysses really only put the simple word "angel" on it at the time, but because of the 12-member mercenary group that almost entered the god level in the early days of the organization, the entire organization was awed. Added the suffix of Twelve Wings.In those years, the organization was once synonymous with the Gray Road, and it was the Twelve Wings.It's a pity that Andre died later, Barton's whereabouts were unknown, Xia Zuo retreated completely by guarding his wife's tomb, and the name of Twelve Wings disappeared only after the mercenary group withered.Why are so many people not waiting to see Don?One of the reasons, Tang is that "Thirteen".

Another example is the rose organization.It wasn't Qiangwei who called out first, but Blood Red.The original body of this organization is too old, and it survived multiple cleanings of black and white and still retains a complete structure. How could it be a simple product? The founder has long since returned to dust, but each leader has developed its own characteristics.But when it comes to the suffix of Rose, it has happened in the past ten years. Cyril didn’t know the specific reason, but he had vaguely heard Ulysses sigh before that the origin of the name Rose was related to the current leader of this organization. , even the word "cross" is related to what he did back then - this cross is not a positive intention, but a reverse cross, which is extremely evil.

It can be seen from this that the origin of these names is relative to the importance of the organization.Dempsey and Vivienne were the members of the Twelve Wings back then. Apart from Tang, they are the key figures who can support the organization now.Ability is not bad, the problem is that although Vivienne is a low-key woman, her individual combat ability is indeed beyond words. It is understandable to grab some honor, but Dempsey's strength lies in coordinating operations and logistics. , what would you do if you don't go to the team competition but go to the individual competition?

Ulysses shrugged: "The organization cannot interfere with personal grievances."

He rubbed his chin and laughed, "Vivienne is rushing for revenge, but seeing her entanglement with Arnold of 'Sharp Cone', maybe she will end up as an enemy of Huanxi." Unlike some The organization's internal hierarchy is strict, and the relationship between Angel's members and the boss is more like friends. On the premise of not harming the interests of the organization, he certainly hopes that his friends can be happy. The Jasmine? He went after Jasmine."

"How come?" Cyril frowned subconsciously, and finally made a sound.Does this mean that Jasmine also participated in the individual competition?Won't the wise go to the team competition to play their light and heat, and pay attention to the individual combat ability of individual soldiers to seek death!

"It's... the Knights?" He suddenly thought of this possibility, his eyes flickered, "But as an organization of judgment, the only brain can only and must be the council. The status of a wise man is too uncontrollable. She With what status do you join the Knights Order?"

"Based on Rose," Ulysses said calmly, "this woman is quite extraordinary."

Mental excellence and physical development are generally polarizing.It is really difficult for Xi Ruier to believe that Jasmine can still have the physical fitness to compete for a good ranking in the individual competition under the premise of such intelligence.Then why do you still participate when you know that even if you pass the preliminary selection, you will be screened out soon, and the individual competition is so dangerous that you will confess it if you are not careful?It is certain that she will rush to be selected for the Knights, and it is certain that she will be selected for the Knights.So where is her support?

"If it weren't for the inexplicable quarrel between Tang and her, I would never have paid so much attention to this woman, let alone find out the series of things behind." Ulysses said, "Jasmine's identity is definitely questionable. .”

"As long as she thinks that Rose is her biggest reliance, many doubts will be easily resolved. A member who is only a nominal member from the outside world has such high authority-not only is protected by identity, but also can get the same status as Hammock. What matters is the full power of CASE, and even, Qiangwei can safely throw her into the dark camp individual competition, and has full confidence in sending her to the future knight order-so there is only one explanation, her identity is unusual. She is in the Qiangwei organization , definitely has a very special status. What we can find out now is only what Qiangwei released."

The first time Cyril heard about Jasmine was during the Hammock incident.At that time, I only heard Payne from Tang's team tell him that Tang was very at odds with that woman named Jasmine, and I didn't expect that there were such tricks in it.

Cyril thought for a while: "Then, Dempsey is because of Don?"

"Don's temper..." Ulysses frowned helplessly, "It's too free and easy. I really haven't seen many people who can make him take it seriously. So the result is that Don has nothing on his mind, but the people next to him Stubborn, they must find out the details of the woman. But they are afraid that the woman will be a moth, and they dare not lose their physical strength to her. Soldiers trained, have gone through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and it is not a problem to measure gains and losses on the basis of saving lives."

"Where is Don now?" Cyril asked.

"Idle in the headquarters to rest and recuperate. This year's dark camp is definitely a hard stubble. If he adjusts his body to the best condition as soon as possible, the speed of solving troubles will not be able to keep up with the speed of causing troubles." Ulysses smiled, since he can Laughing out means that the situation is not too bad, "Some time ago, he took advantage of the whole gray road to be busy, took a dark flower, and helped to recover some things, because the CASE was a little bit weak at the end of the trouble, but it was not a big problem."

Cyril heard what he meant, and gestured with his eyes, what is the big problem?

"Remember Raymond? Yes, that's him. He came here with the intention of fighting Tang again, but unexpectedly, Tang didn't participate in the individual competition at all this time. Tang didn't even read the public provocations he published. The news, and Lei Meng, who didn’t get a response, temporarily recruited members from TS to gather a team to participate in the team competition... I’m worried that this entanglement will be indomitable and will drag down the results.”

Raymond, the strongest trump card of TS, the world's largest mercenary organization with half a foot in the underworld, and the last king of the dark camp.

Originally, there was still some suspense in the dark camp last time, but Tang himself gave up the game at the last moment.After the dark camp ended, Hui Dao had a tacit agreement calling Tang the Uncrowned King, which meant that everyone had this understanding. If he fought to the end, the title of King of Shadows might be the winner. In fact, Tang was more likely to win.Lei Meng was unhappy because of this. In the past four years, whenever he met Tang, he never failed to make him trouble, but it was not a good day, and he never met him on the frontal battlefield!Lei Meng held his breath for four full years, waiting for the secret camp to open up again. Unexpectedly, this time the real master didn't even show his face, but ordinary people can't stand this kind of ignorance, let alone Lei Meng. Waiting for the strong... However, people said that the way to be thoroughly annoyed is to participate in the team competition.

"It's interesting." Cyril expressed some joy appropriately.

In the field of mercenaries, there are very few all-round kings who are particularly outstanding in one aspect. Compared with this outstanding aspect, there are always deficiencies in other aspects, which is the case for Raymond.His individual combat ability can be called the king, but it does not mean that he can perform as well in team battles as he does when he is alone.Even if it is Tang, he is not inferior to a very strong team. In fact, he is also good at individual combat. Thanks to Payne and the others, the team can bear his sullen temper and understand the meaning of his every action. If you change the team, maybe He is scum.If you can really do it with ease regardless of the occasion, the members, or the conditions, then you are an evildoer.

Ulysses smiled. Just as he opened his mouth, his eyes accidentally glanced at the cat in Cyril's arms. He froze for a moment, forgetting what he wanted to say.

Kroen lay quietly in Cyril's arms, not even shaking the tip of his tail at the moment, with a calm posture.The most terrifying thing is those eyes, which are obviously light blue and innocent, but reveal a meaningful expression, as if they can understand the conversation between the two.Ulysses was well aware of the cat's spirituality, but he was caught off guard by such a glance, and still felt a little creepy.

Cyril followed his line of sight and looked into his arms, reached out and grabbed the cat's neck to lift it up. Kroen was so tame as to let his body vacate, and softly meowed at him.Cyril stuffed it back in place again, bewilderedly beckoning to her best friend.

"...It's nothing," Ulysses said. "Anyway, the general situation is like this. I don't know how much trouble there is, so I can only see the tricks."

He said: "Now can you tell me why you make yourself so tired?"

Ulysses ate and drank at White Castle for two days, and left for Manchester on the third day.

The home court for the dark camp individual competition has been built, and the next step is the truly cruel elimination schedule.Xi Ruier was still hesitating whether to go to the scene to watch, and felt that some things could not be handled properly, and it would be very troublesome, so the reason came to the door by himself.

Cyril spread out today's daily newspaper with a blank expression and threw it on the table casually, pointing to the headline on the front page. According to the media reports, a certain Crown Prince who should be spending the second honeymoon with Crown Princess Catherine glanced at him, still smiling, There was no guilt on his face: "I came back secretly."

Cyril glanced at him, then at the man next to him who was also smiling and staring at Klon with great interest.Obviously, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came uninvited did act very low-key. There are only two guards following the important members around him, not even a personal butler. Instead, a few unfamiliar people stand respectfully behind.

However, just relying on the feeling revealed by his gestures, Cyril could tell where these people came from in an instant.Then he glanced at the man with an ordinary face who seemed lazy but with a strong temperament in his eyes. All the people from MI[-] came out, and it was clear at a glance why Charlie had sneaked back.

Seemingly noticing that the owner of the castle was looking at him, the man turned his gaze over for two seconds, smirked, and stretched out a hand naturally: "Carter Horsen."

Cyril glanced at his hand lightly, and before he raised his eyes again, Charlie had reached out and pressed on that hand, preventing him from shaking hands, and replied with a smile on behalf of Cyril: "Sit down, don't be too polite."

At any rate, the royal family wants to be in harmony with the international standards and the people, at least as a high-level existence "supported" by taxpayers, and the attitude of being close to the people must be sufficient, but for those big nobles from ancient families, they themselves are rights or status A symbol of , no one can force them to change, because they are not afraid of offending anyone.This kind of peer class has the style of equal voice. Although it can no longer be called a "bad habit", if you don't understand it, it will inevitably look arrogant and boundless.But Cyril is not inclined to these things, and his good upbringing also makes him unable to refuse when faced with an outstretched hand, but Charlie knows that this friend hates physical contact with others in most cases, so he thinks I don't want to help out.

Cyril tilted his head slightly, and Naiden, who had reached the highest level of Motive Sensing skills, had already stepped forward to help open the chair. His Royal Highness smiled and nodded, sat down, and opened the second chair. The tall man squinted at the chair. Cyril turned her face around and sat down still nodding with a smile.

The butler of the castle left the hall without a sound, and the ordered maid stepped forward and invited those behind to sit down.A few unfamiliar faces were a little surprised, a little cautious, indicating that they had already had breakfast before, but the two members of the crown prince's guard who had been here before smiled, gestured to their new companions, and looked for them behind the long table. Sitting down, several people looked at each other and sat down. After a while, a row of chefs came in with trays.Naiden quietly went back behind his master.

Cyril took a sip of coffee and closed the newspaper.Naiden took it, put it on the tray in the hands of the person standing beside him, took out another unread copy, and handed it to him.

He has a rough idea of ​​Charlie's intentions.On the contrary, although the new guest made a humble appearance, he didn't show much friendliness.

Cyril is very sensitive to people's feelings.He could tell that the other party didn't have a targeted dislike for him, but seemed to have a dislike for the entire aristocratic class.In fact, the kind of small eyes that seem to be looking at the blood-sucking insects in the country are very interesting to him-a high-intelligence angry youth shaped by standard spy education.

"You still like to order so many newspapers." His Royal Highness looked at the thick stack on the tray, put down the spoon with a smile, and picked up the coffee cup. "Staying at home all day, isn't it boring?"

Xi Ruier said: "Because interesting things will come to you, won't they?"

Charlie De heard the implication, and smiled happily: "Then you want to go out with me?"

Cyril glanced at Huo Sen: "Can you please solve it?"

Charlie paused, blinking innocently like Alan's usual way.No matter how stupid he was, he would know that he must be looking for help when he came to the door. The question that Xi Ruier asked back was a joke that hit the point.It was just such a joke, which obviously erased the subtle barrier.

Cyril grew up with the generation of the royal family, so the relationship is naturally unusual, but the ones who play best with him are Veronica and Allen. Allen is stupid, and Vera is a pet. There is no limit, not that there is any disagreement with Charlie, but that the same royal education is also divided into standards. Charlie is the crown prince, and his status is a bit special invisibly, and the relationship between Cyril and Veronica is too much. Well, Her Royal Highness has a very strong personality, and because of some unspoken reasons, she always has some quarrels with her younger brother. As a friend who has been on Charlede since she was a child, of course, Cyril and Charlie De are not close. .

But this is relative to him and Vera. Leaving aside this point, Cyril and Charlie De actually have a good personal relationship.

Xi Ruier said: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Dark camp, you accompany me to the stage." Charlie said directly without turning a corner, "If there is a tail behind, we can handle it ourselves, but the media wants your help."

Between the shadow world and black and white, the development of today's society is no longer the same as it was in the beginning.For a grand event like the dark camp, since the host country has been chosen, how could it not have communicated with the host country in secret?Just like the Baidao Olympics, where all the people have to participate, the Dark Camp is the largest competitive event in the shadow world, and those who are aware of its existence must show something.After all, the gray way is more decent than the underworld, so if it can represent the royal family of England, it must be properly expressed.

Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Andrei are old, and their status is too high, so it is not appropriate to be there. Allen, who is a member of the immediate family, also has no sense of existence in the Gray Road, and his status is owed, so the only way is for Crown Prince Charlie to come forward .Originally, there was Veronica, but Vera was slightly unpopular due to the previous divorce case, and later married out, so her identity was no longer suitable.

Thanks to the development of the press and freedom of speech over the years, there are always some people who are full and have nothing to do all day long, staring at the dignitaries behind them like flies, trying to dig out something.The royal family suffered greatly from it.That's all. After all, the gray way is hidden behind the mainstream. If something is pulled out of Charlie, God knows how chaotic it will be.

The problem is that the media rarely buy anyone's account!This time when Charlie returned to China, most of the people behind him were from the Secret Service, but even they couldn't guarantee to completely solve this problem. After thinking about it, Charlie could only think of Cyril.

"After all, you are in England, so you have to go and have a look." This is also a kind of deterrence. The gray way can exist, but the world is ruled by the white way after all. You can rest assured."

It is no secret that Cyril has a relationship with the Gray Way, and his friendship with a certain Gray Way leader has never been hidden from the outside world.Besides, his power in some aspects is enviable to the royal family, and he is already extremely proficient in dealing with things like the media.

Xi Ruier nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Charlie De was overjoyed, whether he was really idle and bored and went out to have fun, or he spoke up on his own so he couldn't refuse, as long as he agreed to everything, he said, "I'll get ready first."

Little did he know that it was in Xi Ruier's arms.

Now, no matter what his purpose of appearing in the dark camp was, there was only one reason, and that was the invitation of the Crown Prince of England.
