Byron's Blade

"You sit down, it's quite cold outside, I'll pour you a cup of hot drink." Lan Ni greeted Mu Li without looking back.

"Thank you, Major." Mu Li entered the office and began to look around.

Lanny's office is spacious, well furnished and tastefully furnished.She seems to like high-end teacups very much, and there is a special sideboard in the office, which is full of exquisite teacups and teapots.Mu Li was speechless inwardly, she really was the eldest lady, and now she finally saw it.

"Do you like black tea?" Lanny asked.

"Uh... I don't quite understand these things." Mu Li replied.

"I know."

Mu Li: "..." Then you still ask, do you want to feel sorry for me?

"So I made you coffee." Lanny handed a cup of coffee to Mu Li.

Mu Li took it, said "thank you", and then planned to put it in his hand, not to drink for the time being.Unexpectedly, Lan Ni kept staring at her, and added:

"Not hot."

Embarrassed, Mu Li had no choice but to pick up the coffee and take a sip.When she first entered, her eyebrows, nose and eyes were all wrinkled. The smell...is too exciting!The coffee was actually salty, and it was so salty, coupled with the natural bitterness, it almost made her spit it out.If she hadn't relied on her amazing perseverance to swallow the coffee, she might have spit it out by now.

"Major...what did you put in..." Mu Li said with a sad face.

Lan Ni smiled brightly and said, "Ah, I seem to have put salt in as sugar. Look at me, I'm really confused. I'm really sorry."

This woman!You just said she was confused, but is she really confused?I didn't expect revenge to come so fast!At this moment, Mu Li has the urge to strangle Lan Ni to death.

A glass of water was handed over, Lan Ni still smiled and looked at her without speaking.Once Mu Li was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes, she hesitated for a long time before taking a sip of the white water. After she tasted that it was ordinary water, she dared to gulp it down.

"Okay, you haven't eaten yet. I have asked my assistant to buy food. Let's talk about things first. When the meal arrives, let's have dinner together." Lanny returned to seriousness, and Mu Li felt a little tired , I really don't know when the eldest lady will play a trick on her again and play tricks on her.

Lan Ni didn't give Mu Li too much time, and started the topic directly.

"I have three main things to tell you today.

First and most urgently, the physical examination of Mary and Dora, mother and daughter, the day after tomorrow. "

She clicked on the bracelet ID, sent an electronic certificate to Mu Li's ID, and continued:

"The time is too short, and I haven't been able to find a reliable person to be their guarantor for the time being. So this time, I will personally give the guaranty. This is the guaranty letter. When the time comes, you will take the mother and daughter to the Styles area. For the faction evaluation office, just go to the director there and show this guarantee letter, and the staff there will only swipe the mother and daughter’s ID for records, and they won’t do extra things.”

"Is this okay?" Mu Li asked.

"Why, are you worried about the effectiveness of my personal guarantee?" Lanny raised her eyebrows and replied.

"No, I was worried that doing so would be too eye-catching. After all, you are a well-known figure in the federation. It is hard not to arouse suspicion for suddenly acting as a guarantor for a mother and daughter who came out of nowhere. Yes." Mu Li said.

Lanny smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, the Stiles Regional Camp Evaluation Office is my people who receive you, otherwise why would I ask you to take such a long way to go to Stiles for a physical examination? I If you are not prepared, you will never take this risk."

Mu Li thought in his heart: It seems that I was really worried for nothing, how could such a cunning young lady not take care of her own safety.But speaking of the Styles region, it is the native place of the original owner Mu Li, and it is also the place where he has lived since he was 8 years old.This time the physical examination was arranged here, and Mu Li always had an inexplicable feeling in his heart—the eldest lady did this on purpose.

"It's just that you'd better keep a low profile and don't attract attention, otherwise things will become troublesome." Lanny added.

"Yeah, be careful sailing for thousands of years, I understand." Mu Li nodded solemnly.

Lanny paused, took the water Mu Li just drank, and took a big gulp from the rim of the glass.Mu Li looked at her moist red lips covering the place where he just drank, swallowed inexplicably, and then looked away.

"The second thing is about Dubo Scott and her Starfire organization."

"Yes, I was going to ask you, how are they doing now? Are they still trapped in Ares, or have they escaped?" Mu Li asked quickly.

Lan Ni gave her a speechless look, which clearly meant to say: Be quiet, I'm about to talk.

"They are mixed in the third squadron, and they have left the Ares region for more than half a month. Now they are probably in the city of adventurers. That's all I know. Five days ago, in order to be safe, I broke off with them." I lost contact, and now I don’t know exactly where they are.”

Mu Li nodded to express his understanding: "As long as they are still alive."

"Aren't you curious about this Xinghuo organization?" Lan Ni looked at Mu Li and said.

Mu Li pondered for a moment and said: "Anyway, it's nothing more than an organization united by the traitors, probably for the benefit of the traitors. Or more radically, to be a terrorist?"

"Terrorists are really not. They don't have the strength and courage. The specific nature is the same as what you said. But they have been seeking human rights equality for the rebels, and they have been working hard for more than ten years. Have you heard But the rebels call themselves not 'rebels', but 'Leigh Byron'?"

Mu Li nodded, that night in front of the hospital square, she clearly heard a member of the Spark organization calling "Lee Byron" loudly.

"Lee Byron means rebellion in Old German. They call themselves rebels, not rebels. They hope to use various means to overthrow the current policy of oppressing all rebels, so that rebels can Get the human rights you deserve, and live in an equal and friendly society.”

"I see, but why is it in German?" Mu Li asked strangely.

"Because the first leader of the Spark organization was of German origin." Lanny replied.

"Who is it?" Mu Li asked curiously.

"do not know."

"Huh? No way. Didn't you say that the Starfire Organization has only been established for more than ten years? How come you don't even know who the first leader is? Even if there is no written record, you should be able to remember it."

"It's not that I forgot, but this person never showed up from the very beginning. All his contacts with the traitors relied on some very primitive methods, such as drawing marks in the streets and alleys, and only playing voice-changing recordings during secret gatherings. None People have seen what he looks like, and don't know if he is a man or a woman, or how old he is. The only guess is that he may be of German origin, but this guess is just a guess."

Mu Li's goosebumps crawled up for no reason.

"Since Mr. Du Bo became a traitor ten years ago, this unknown person officially appointed Mr. Du Bo as the apparent leader of the Starfire organization, and he himself retired and almost never appeared again. So Mr. Du Bo is actually the second Acting leader. Before the Ares massacre, the Spark organization was distributed in the west and some central regions and cities, centered on Ares, and slowly spreading. But now.... I predict that the main stronghold may be transferred We have arrived at the city of adventurers. But the city of adventurers is not as simple as Ares, where dragons and snakes are mixed together, and it is difficult to gain a firm foothold." Lanny analyzed bit by bit.

Mu Li frowned carefully thinking about what Lani said. It was the first time she had heard this information, and it took time to digest it.Lan Ni was not in a hurry to say the third thing, and gave Mu Li time.At this time, there was a knock on the door.Lan Ni said, "Come in." The door was opened, and a female officer in military uniform walked in, holding a packed lunch box in her hand.She looks very young, but just in her early 20s, the rank of sergeant, probably a technical military rank.The face is that of a West Asian, wearing a pair of black-rimmed eyes, and looks petite and lovely.

"Major, I bought lunch." The female sergeant spoke like a different person, as cold as a machine, without the slightest expression on her face.

"Okay, I'm hungry, let's put this here." Lan Ni seemed to be used to it, and didn't care about her attitude at all, instead she introduced to Mu Li:

"Captain Mu, let me introduce you. This is my research assistant, Sergeant Aisha Abdullah Idan Rakhed Nasser Al Saud, who is currently a junior student, and a descendant of the Saudi royal family a hundred years ago." Lan Ni rolled her eyes, and continued with a smile: "The Arab descendants have a rule that they must call each other by their full name, otherwise it is disrespectful. Captain Mu, please call me once and listen."

Just hearing the name, Mu Li felt dumbfounded, and he still needs to address himself again?

"Captain Mu can just call me Aisha." Unexpectedly, this Aisha didn't have the intention of cooperating with Lanny to play a prank at all, and directly gave Mu Li the steps.

Mu Li silently wiped his cold sweat.

Although Lan Ni was exposed, she was not angry and said to Aisha:

"We still have something to talk about, you go and rest first."

"Yes, Major." Ayesha replied bluntly, and then left the office.

Lan Ni opened the lunch box, a curry chicken rice, a seafood fried rice.She asked Mu Li:

"Which one do you want to eat?"

Mu Li hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the fried rice.Lan Ni smiled and pushed the fried rice to her, saying:

"Try the craftsmanship in the cafeteria of our Supreme Military Academy. Originally, I wanted to buy Chinese food for you." As she spoke, she picked up the curry chicken rice.

"It's okay, it's not a must for Chinese food. I really like fried rice with seafood."

"Really? I thought your favorite was chicken curry..." Lanny slowly scooped up a spoonful of curry chicken rice and put it into her mouth, blinking her phoenix eyes and looking at Mu Li meaningfully.

Cold sweat broke out again on Mu Li's back, he licked his lips, and said:

"I also like seafood fried rice, let's change it." He took a big mouthful of the lunch box and concealed his inner panic.

Lanny stared at her for a while, then shifted her gaze to her food, and while slowly poking the food with a spoon, she continued:

"The third thing is about Pele."

Mu Li raised his eyes and glanced at her, waiting for her next words.

"Bailey is still in a deep coma, and is currently hospitalized in the affiliated hospital of the Rudolph Military Academy, but this matter has not been made public. From September 9th to today's November 16th, it has been nearly two months Yes, nothing has happened yet. This is my father's arrangement. He means to keep Bailey safe and talk about it after he wakes up. But the doctor said that Bailey injured his brain, so it's hard to say When will I wake up, even if I wake up, it is difficult to guarantee whether I am mentally sound and can return to normal work and life."

"Then there is no way to redress the fact that she was framed?" Mu Li asked with a frown.

"It's not that there is no way, but it needs to take risks." Lan Ni said.

Mu Li was silent for a moment, turned his eyes to Lan Ni, and said in a deep voice, "You want to use her as bait?"

"Yes." Lanny admitted flatly, "The other party's murderous intentions towards her will not diminish. She must have grasped information that is more terrifying to the other party than the bug swarm. But the other party is currently standing still and intends to observe the situation before making a further judgment. Since the opponent is undecided, then with this move, I can induce the opponent to go to the position I want."

"Major, I think you should be clear that this is very irresponsible for Bailey. We cannot guarantee her safety 100%. Besides, she is now in a coma and cannot express her own opinion." Mu Li road.

"I understand that Bailey will never let her die if you use extraordinary means in extraordinary times. She is still very important to me." Lan Ni said, then glanced at Mu Li, softened her tone, and asked, "I miss you Might disagree, I want to know what you think."

Mu Li put down the lunch box, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Major, I understand that when you do so many things, revenge is the overwhelming majority. I also want revenge. After all, I was almost killed. But it takes a lot of risk to pull down such a high-ranking person like him. , I don’t have a clue. The traitor Elisa died so badly, the sonar device was burned, and the most direct evidence disappeared. Even if you use Bailey to fish at that time, the fish you catch may not be what we want , On the contrary, it may cause fire. If the other party directly targets you, what should you do?"

"This is a game. We are all fighting for layout and planning. Whoever is smarter is the winner. I want to see whether I am smarter or that person is older and more cunning. Don't worry, the first principle is to play chess wisely and protect yourself. I will only use my pawns, and will not expose myself. If necessary, I will abandon the car to save the handsome." Lan Ni said very directly, and when she said this, her beautiful phoenix eyes even shone with excitement Guanghui, she is really immersed in this dangerous game of wits.

However, Mu Li was inexplicably chilled, she held back the unhappiness in her heart, and said:

"If the major is so confident, I won't say much. I don't know, where can I, Mu Li, help?"

"I will not ask you to help, you are just an insider, because you have the right to know this."

Mu Li looked at her in surprise.

Lanny lowered her head and continued to fiddle with the rice in the bowl, whispering:

"You also know that this is very dangerous, so... I don't want you to get involved. You came to Gaia to fight for your future. You have to study hard in the academy, work hard in the military and police, and strive for better future. Rise higher, sit higher. I won't let you do anything that might affect your future."

Mu Li was a little annoyed: "Major, since this is the case, you might as well not tell me anything."

Lan Ni looked at her and suddenly smiled, the smile was inexplicably bitter, she didn't answer Mu Li.

"Is there anything else the major wants to tell me?" Mu Li said suppressing his anger, without looking at Lan Ni.

"Captain Mu...I know that you may not listen to what I say now, but I still want to say it. Be careful with the people around you, and don't trust anyone easily, especially... "

Mu Li stood up from the sofa with a "swish", and interrupted her angrily: "Thank you, Major Friesman, for your hospitality, and I'm leaving!"

After finishing speaking, she opened the door of the office and left. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she heard Lan Ni say in a cold voice:

"Stop! Don't forget, you still owe me a date."

"I will fulfill my promise." Mu Li replied without looking back, and then quickly disappeared at the door.

Lan Ni looked at the half-open door with cold eyes, and with a "snap", she threw the lunch box in her hand on the coffee table.
