My days as a landlord in Gotham
Chapter 75 This Tenant...Cunning!
(seven)
"Master, it's already three o'clock in the morning. If you don't go to sleep, I can only cancel your trip tomorrow morning."
Al Fu stood at the entrance of the Batcave, looking at Bruce Wayne who was staring at the screen in a daze.
Since his young master chose to become Batman, the young master has more and more worries.
Although I have tried my best to help the young master, the young master's mood has become more and more gloomy.
Originally, Ah Fu thought it would be a good thing for the young master to know Mr. Li and Mr. Hamada, but now Ah Fu found that the young master became more and more depressed because of these two gentlemen.
Originally, Ah Fu also asked the young master about the two gentlemen, but the young master always talked about him.
"Master, are you troubled by Mr. Li and Mr. Hamada again?
Mr. Li and Mr. Hamada are already adults, they have their own judgment, the young master doesn't need to care too much. "
"Ah Fu, actually when I chose to be Batman, I knew that I couldn't judge others, even bad guys, because of my own likes and dislikes.
I had a conflict with Mr. Li last night. He insisted on castrating the suspect who tried to rape others, but I still insisted that the suspect should be handed over to the police.
Because we have different philosophies, we clashed.
Although I won him, I feel like I lost a friend.
At the press conference, he also showed great alienation and disgust towards me.
Ah Fu, do you think my idea is wrong?
Maybe, I shouldn't be a Batman? "
Bruce Wayne is a little confused now.
According to the original plot, after Bruce chose to become Batman, his first allies were Director Gordon and Prosecutor Dante. Their law enforcement concepts are very close to Batman, so Batman never doubted himself.
And when the Jason Toth incident happened later, Batman had already believed in his own beliefs at that time, so it didn't affect Batman.
But it's different now, Bruce knew Li Lei when he became Batman, and Li Lei also became a vigilante after Bruce became Batman.
Gotham City now has two vigilantes, one is happy and vengeful, while the other is rigidly pursuing "judicial procedural justice"
After the comparison, Li Lei's landlord is supported by more and more Gotham citizens; while Bruce's Batman is neither supported by the citizens nor recognized by the police.
According to Bruce's idea, Li Lei will eventually become his assistant or partner, and the two will work together to clean up the evils in Gotham.
But now it seems that my idea may be too good.
"Master, as I said at the beginning, Mr. Li is an independent adult.
He has his values and judgment, so you can't force him to have the same ideas as you, master. "
Ah Fu persuaded, "Especially Mr. Li is a Chinese, his background and view of history are completely different from yours.
If you insist on forcing Mr. Li to be consistent with you, then you will only lose Mr. Li as a friend.
In my opinion, your purpose is to fight the crimes in Gotham City, but you have returned the power of trial to the judicial system; but Mr. Li insisted on his point of view on trial.
Master, if you proceed from your conscience, do you think that Mr. Li did something wrong? "
Seeing that Bruce didn't refute his words, Ah Fu knew that Bruce probably agreed with Li Lei deep down in his heart.
"Since you think Mr. Li's actions are in line with your conscience and the justice in your heart, why do you want to organize?
Maybe you have your insistence, well, if you didn't see it, should you still feel guilty about it?
If the world loses a good person, we may feel sorry; but if the world loses a bad person, there may not be many people who will feel sorry.
Master, you said that you have two purposes for becoming Batman, one is to fight crimes in Gotham, and the other is to protect the good people of Gotham.
Since Mr. Lee is not hurting the good people of Gotham, and is also cracking down on Gotham's anti-drunk, why should you care about Mr. Lee's actions?
Maybe you are not used to seeing it, so can you choose to see it out of sight?
Well, sir, we just talked for another half an hour, you really need to take a shower and go to bed to rest. "
This time Bruce listened to Afu's advice, left his workbench, followed Afu out of the Batcave and took the elevator back to the secret door of his study.
After returning to the study, Ah Fu bowed and said: "It's getting late, young master, remember to go to bed early.
I have to go back to bed to rest. Although the old man is a light sleeper, he still needs enough sleep. "
Hearing Afu's self-joking, Bruce couldn't help laughing: "Afu, you are too self-effacing, with your current physique and skills, more than [-]% of Gotham gangsters can't get close to you.
But it's getting late, good night! "
Bruce and Afu separated at the door of the study, and each walked towards their own bedrooms.
The magnificent Wayne Manor stands like a bustling sculpture of Gotham in the suburbs of Gotham in the past, but this manor has long lost its former hustle and bustle.
Bruce remembers that when his parents were still alive, this was the social center of Gotham City and the East Coast of the United States.
Celebrities, sports stars, politicians... they all hope to receive a party invitation from Wayne Manor on a certain night, which is enough for them to show off for a month.
But it all stopped on the day Bruce's parents died.
In the current Wayne Manor, there are only some hired part-time workers during the day to take care of the manor's cleaning and flower garden maintenance, and at night, besides Bruce, there is only Al Fu.
And in those years when Bruce disappeared, the huge manor was guarded by the old man Afu.
It's not that no one is based on the wealth of Wayne Manor, it's just that those uneasy and kind people came in and never left.
Alfred once said, why are the roses in Wayne Manor the most beautiful in the United States?
That's because the grounds of the Rose Garden are buried with enemies of the Wayne family.
Bruce took this as a joke when he was a kid, but now Bruce doesn't think so.
For A Fu, Bruce is the only family member, he will not pursue and care about A Fu.
Everyone is selfish, and Bruce was selfish when he wasn't Batman.
When Li Lei went to work the next day, Mrs. Landingham reminded Li Lei that the company might need to expand its enrollment.
Since Li Lei showed his face at the press conference, many companies have regarded Li Lei's financial company as a shortcut for them to get on the Wayne Group.
Although Mrs. Landingham clearly informed that the financial company has no business or financial relationship with Wayne Group, more and more people outsource part of their financial work to Li Lei's financial consulting company.
"It's not impossible to expand it a little bit, after all, I rarely do financial work now."
Li Lei thought for a while, and then ordered, "You can communicate with the interior design company to see if we can add about four more working positions under our current situation.
If possible, we will expand the enrollment after their renovation is completed.
By the way, Mrs. Landingham, in the future, if there is such a client who comes to our company with the intention of making friends with the Wayne Group, just reject it directly.
With the number of our current customers is enough to feed us, we don't need that many customers. "
"I see what you mean."
Mrs. Landingham nodded.
At this time, the little brother who happened to be in charge of delivering the courier put a bouquet of flowers and other couriers belonging to Li Lei on the small table in Li Lei's office. Looking at the red roses that came with the courier, Mrs. Landingham joked, "No Thinking that Mr. Li is so charming, there is actually a girl who can let go of her reserve and send flowers to pursue you."
"Maybe it's just flowers from ordinary friends."
Li Lei signed the courier brother's form.
"normal friend?
Do ordinary friends send roses?
And still such a bright red rose! "
Mrs. Landingham obviously didn't believe Li Lei's words, "Okay, I know Mr. Li has always been emotional, so I won't disturb your sweet moment."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Landingham left Li Lei's office with the courier brother, and she closed the door of Li Lei's office very intimately.
"Red rose?
This is really quite rare. "
Li Lei took a bouquet of red roses, and then opened the card in the flowers.
As a result, after Li Lei read the card, his face became even darker.
The pink card with golden patterns was written in very beautiful cursive script, and the ink was also very beautiful black with a faint fragrance.
If this really came from a certain girl, Li Lei might be flattered.
But this card is signed by Tom Riddle, and also "Your Beloved"
Tom Riddle.
Li Lei couldn't help shivering when he thought of that elegant and classical man.
He opened the office door with the rose, "Mrs. Landingham, you can find a vase to put the roses in, and put them outside, don't bring them in."
"OK.
what?
Mr. Li, are you sure you want to put the flowers outside?
This is a red rose someone gave you! "
"Yes, I'm allergic to rose pollen."
If it wasn't for Li Lei's fear that he would provoke the Poison Ivy Girl's revenge by destroying the plants, he would have trampled the bouquet of flowers into flower mud.
Although Mrs. Landingham didn't quite believe the reason of Li Lei's allergy, she carefully put the roses in a bisque vase, and then put the plain roses on the dining table in the pantry.
But to Li Lei's confusion, Riddle sent a small package in addition to a bouquet of flowers.
Li Lei opened the package, and there were several Blu-ray data discs in the package.
The CD also came with a note saying, "Here is the data you want.
Let me know if you need anything in the future without risking it yourself.
Love you, Tom. "
Li Lei didn't know if Riddle was under some kind of curse, or his brain was damaged while studying the spell, so why did he suddenly express his love for the fateful enemy designated by his system?
It's not that Li Lei can't accept homosexuality. After all, when he was growing up, he almost fell in love with men twice.
It's just that Li Lei, who was still very timid at the time, didn't dare to express it, so the strong love hidden in his heart slowly fermented into the sourness of memory.
After all the men he once loved got married, Li Lei also found that no other man could attract him.
So Li Lei couldn't help but sneer in his heart, how could Riddle Hod think that he was in love with him?
So Li Lei tore up the note, then took the CD and opened the secret door next to the bookshelf.
Behind the secret door is a porch, on one side is the stairs to the second floor, and on the other side it seems to be the end.
It's just that Li Lei went to the end and put the first sheet on the wooden board.
A ray of light swept across Li Lei's cane, and then a door opened.
Behind the door is a downward staircase, and Li Lei walked down the stairs to the basement.
Wu Yong and Hamada Hiroshi are studying the ancient corps in history to see how these corps trained and fought. They are also studying some cold weapons that can be developed at the technological level at that time.
In Wu Yong's words, he must remember these things, hoping to change the fate of Shuibo Liangshan when he returns to Liangshanzhai.
"What are you holding in your hand?"
Hamada Hiroshi saw that Li Lei found an independent computer, and then stuffed these BD disks into the optical drive.
You must know that with the development of wireless networks and the Internet, this kind of data storage tool is rarely used by anyone.
"This is the data stored in the Hydra secret base we went to yesterday, and Riddle sent it by courier today."
After speaking, Li Lei inserted one of the discs into the computer, and began to check it.
"Aren't you afraid that he will put a Trojan horse or virus on you?
It's so big, just read it directly. "
Hamada Hiroshi reminded.
"First of all, there are currently no viruses and Trojan horses that can break through the defense of the Red Queen. Please have some confidence in the Red Queen."
Li Lei said.
Although Riddle is able to combine magic and viruses, it is based on currently known virus programs, so these are inseparable from Hong Hou.
"Secondly, my computer does not have a wireless network. Even if it is infected, I will destroy this computer at worst."
Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi hoarded a lot of these disposable computers for browsing data in the basement.
It does not have a wireless network card, as long as they are not connected to physical data lines, they are individual hosts, and even if they are infected with viruses, they cannot spread.
Moreover, the hard drives in these computers are all empty without any data, so there is no need to worry about data loss.
"Finally, if Riddle is going to do something to us, does he need to put a Trojan horse?"
The last sentence was Li Lei's self-mockery.
In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is meaningless.
Therefore, in the face of Riddle's powerful magic, it would be very difficult for Li Lei and others to protect themselves, so Riddle didn't need a Trojan horse virus to play tricks.
Li Lei checked the data quickly and said, "Actually, there are not many valuable data for us, most of them are the operation data of this base.
A small amount of data suggests that Hydra currently has several important headquarters addresses, but the detailed addresses are not clear. We only know that there are three in the United States, one in Canada, one each in Mexico, and Argentina; in addition, there are also in Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Switzerland. There is one of each.
This base is not their scientific research base, basically there is no research record.
No wonder Riddle gave it to us so readily, because he knew we couldn't find anything. "
"Actually, it cannot be said that it is completely worthless, at least we have obtained direct evidence that Hydra still exists.
Even if we can't prove that the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters has been emptied by Hydra, we can at least prove that Hydra still has several headquarters operating in the United States.
If we provided this data to S.H.I.E.L.D., I think it would be enough to get their attention internally. "
"But how do we account for the provenance of the document?
If we say we went to that base, don't the people in the Ministry of Defense know that the target of that missile is us?
Compared to the fact that Hydra exists inside S.H.I.E.L.D., I think the U.S. government cares more about how we instantly modified the target of that missile, right?
Whoever masters this technology will be invincible on the battlefield. "
Li Lei is very familiar with the pissing nature of the US government, and he can sacrifice everything for the greater good.
Hearing what Li Lei said, Hamada Hiroshi closed his mouth.
Everyone put the Hydra base data aside, and then began to analyze Li Lei's current situation.
According to the current situation, Li Lei is actually very safe.
Although he temporarily offended the Penguin, Li Lei had Batman as an ally in Gotham, and at the same time he was backed by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Even if the Penguin wanted to take revenge on Li Lei, he would not do it at this time.
As for Riddle, the system insisted on making the two of them old enemies, but Riddle insisted on going against the system, so it seemed that Riddle still didn't bother to kill Li Lei at this time.
Or maybe Riddle wants to kill Li Lei when he grows up to be an opponent enough to challenge him.
This sense of accomplishment may be stronger.
"I have a few opinions for Brother Li. Let Brother Li listen to it."
After listening to Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi's analysis, Wu Yong began to summarize how Li Lei should break the situation, "First, brother Li and the heir of the Wayne family must not fall out no matter what, at least you must maintain your fundamental interests. above is consistent.
Strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes. If there is no strong local family to support Brother Li, it will be difficult for Brother Li to gain a foothold in Gotham City.
What's more, this Gotham City is really "the country is about to perish and evildoers are rampant". Without the support of local forces, Brother Li doesn't know when he will be eaten.
Second, S.H.I.E.L.D. is the foundation of Brother Li's life. The backer can only scare others, and he can calm others down.
If Brother Lee can't get the entire Gotham S.H.I.E.L.D.
Although I don't know what the purpose of their arrangement is, it does give Brother Li a lot of convenience.
You have the most aboveboard sources of intelligence, and at the same time the most aboveboard thug army, which is enough to make you stand up in Gotham City.
Third, whether Riddle is an enemy or a friend is temporarily uncertain, but since he does not regard us as an enemy for the time being, then we don't need to regard him as an enemy.
Being too nervous can make us lose our basic judgment.
Let's keep a limited contact with that Mr. Riddle, and don't really become good friends with him.
Finally, and the most crucial point, since Brother Li already has an official status, why doesn't Brother Li establish a good relationship with the official figures?
With Brother Bai Dao taking care of you, is Brother Li still worried that the first character will trouble you? "
Li Lei fully agrees with Wu Yong's last suggestion.
Because apart from the lunatic Joker, there really isn't any gangster or gangster family in Gotham City who would take the initiative to provoke the Gotham City government; and they even maintain a kind of restraint in good faith against the Gotham police and prosecutors.
Li Lei's S.H.I.E.L.D. is a federal law enforcement agency, so when he comes to Gotham City, he has to deal with the Gotham police. After all, they are the local law enforcement forces.
Since Li Lei is the boss in charge of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Gotham branch's operations department, it is also necessary to visit the bosses of the Gotham police and prosecutors; at the same time, it is also necessary to make friends with the mayor and the city council speaker. .
Thinking of this, Li Lei sent a text message to Phil using the mobile phone issued to him by S.H.I.E.L.D., wanting to confirm when he would get his ID, uniform and gun.
And Phil may have been paying attention to himself recently, and Li Lei's text messages soon responded.
Phil said that the official badge awarding ceremony will be held on the day when the Gotham branch office is established, but Li Lei's certificate, uniform and gun will be issued in these two days, and Li Lei can go to the branch office to collect them after receiving the notice.
After getting more accurate news, Li Lei didn't ask Phil any more.
Instead, Phil sent another text message, reminding Li Lei very ambiguously, "You are the assistant director of the Gotham branch, and you must uphold your duties. This is your right and your obligation."
"It seems that the news that Dam Dan came to you last time has already reached the General Administration, and the news is quite fast."
Hamada Hiroshi saw the news on Li Lei's mobile phone, and couldn't help sighing, "It seems that the General Administration is still very concerned about our side."
"Of course."
It is not easy for Li Lei to tell Hamada Hiroshi what may happen later.
Because of the plot in "Captain America 2", S.H.I.E.L.D. was almost disbanded. Although the Avengers maintained their alliance, there were already many internal conflicts, and the head of the Cyclops was also in a hidden state.
Although Phil later rebuilt S.H.I.E.L.D., the new S.H.I.E.L.D. is obviously not as powerful as the old S.H.I.E.L.D. Otherwise, the entire Avengers Alliance would have been almost wiped out when Thanos hit Earth.
But this time, Director Cyclops buried the nail of the Gotham branch in advance, and it will be helpful to the entire Avengers later.
"By the way, Hamada, are you interested in taking a part-time management role at S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Li Lei suddenly asked, "After I have served as the Director of the Operations Department, it is not easy to be the Director of the Intelligence Department.
But at present, there is no one in the Gotham branch worthy of my trust, so I can only ask you to fill this vacancy.
Otherwise the other execs will ask their guy to come over, which is not good for me. "
"I have no comment."
Hamada Hiroshi shrugged, "Anyway, I don't need to run tasks on the front line.
By the way, you are the only polished commander in your operation department right now?
Although Jason was able to join, the bureau would definitely not assign him dangerous or complicated tasks. If something happened and the media found out, the pressure on the president would be great. "
"I've thought about this. Since I can't recruit a direct army, I'll just make it impossible for the people below to form a group."
Li Lei thought for a while and said, "I plan to use some of them as current agents, while others will be recruited through the recruitment office of the General Administration.
In this way, the veteran faction and the young faction cannot play together anyway.
Besides that, I also really want to recruit some talent in Gotham City to fill the needs of the operation. "
Li Lei knows that there are many super villains in Gotham City, but there are also many superheroes at the same time.
Since I have already abducted the master's second young master, should I also abduct the master's first young master along the way?
Li Lei believes that the system should have revised the timeline of the Robins. Since the second youngest is so old, the eldest is even older. Presumably Bruce will not adopt him as a Robin again, right?
Li Lei reckoned that if Bruce really wanted to train Robin, the third young master would be the best candidate.
Although San Shao's fighting power is not as good as his two big brothers, nor his younger brother, but San Shao's intelligence is the strongest.
It can be said that San Shao is the master's best partner.
Thinking of this, Li Lei felt much less guilty. At the same time, he also felt that he really wanted to find Dick Grayson, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for the first Robin to become a street gangster.
In addition to the young and old, there are actually many neutral superheroes in Gotham City, such as: Angel of Death, Night Chaser, Knights and attendants, etc., in addition to those who support the Gordon family and the Kane family. Batman man.
In addition to these people to recruit, Li Lei is also looking for allies on the Gotham police side.
Although the current Chief Jillian Noble and Captain Arnold Frass are both well-known corrupt criminals in the Gotham City Police Department, they still stood by Gotham when they destructively endangered Gotham City.
Therefore, the official setting materials of DC comics did not list them as villains, but classified them as neutral.
That being the case, Li Lei felt that the two of them should be allies he could win in the police station.
As for Gordon, Li Lei can only say that his character is only suitable for Batman, and if he cooperates with him, there will definitely be problems.
Gotham City is a city built on islands, so there are more than a dozen islands in the urban area of Gotham City.
Most of the larger islands are inhabited, but there are also some smaller islands inhabited only by lighthouses and a few managers employed by the government.
However, with the emergence of modern navigation facilities, the role of lighthouses has gradually become a symbolic role, and because of the emergence of comprehensive energy lighthouses, occupations such as tower keepers are no longer needed, so these small islands are gradually abandoned. up.
Originally, some gangsters or gangster families occupied some of the islands as smuggling docks, but as the smuggling channels became more and more mature, these small islands that were used for the second time were completely abandoned.
It would be fine if Paris Island, Sullivan Island and Great and Little Herman Islands are connected by roads and bridges. During holidays, these usually uninhabited islands will also become camping or picnic destinations for some people.
However, because Cape Triangle is isolated, except for a few small boats that occasionally dock, there is almost no means of transportation to get here, so Cape Triangle has gradually become a deserted island.
And the Gotham city government also half-pushed and half-simply designated the Cape Triangle and the nearby sea area as a so-called "natural protection park"
Therefore, a lot of funds have been applied for from the federal government for maintenance expenses.
Only now, facing the turbulent waves of the Atlantic Ocean, on a cliff facing the sea on Cape Triangle, two lonely figures are standing there.
If passing boatmen saw them, they would think they were crazy.
"Master, why did we come here in such bad weather?
This is not a good place. "
The man in monk's clothes was Casillas, and he was persuading Riddle, who was wearing a wizard's robe, beside him.
"Casillas, don't start complaining because of a little bit of bad weather, our cause can be much more severe than this."
Riddle said softly.
He is not using magic now, so the tide and rain have wet his clothes and pants, and even his socks have become wet.
Being blown by the cold sea breeze, even Riddle felt a little unbearably cold.
"We're going to meet a beautiful lady later, and I don't think she'll want to chat with us for a few minutes if we don't show some sincerity.
Casillas, you have to learn to be patient and persistent. "
"Yes, my master."
Casillas stopped complaining, but stood on the edge of the cliff with Riddle, blowing the sea breeze.
"It seems that the lovely lady has seen our sincerity and is willing to come out and talk to us."
The moment Riddle spoke, a monstrous wave crashed over.
And after the waves disappeared, there was one more person on the cliff.
woman.
The woman was wearing a sea-blue tulle floor-length skirt, her graceful figure looming under the skirt.
If Casillas hadn't learned about Buddhism when he practiced with Gu Yi, his state of mind would have been messed up.
"The Siren, the most beautiful and powerful lady on the planet."
Riddle complimented, "I stood here waiting for hours just to see your beauty.
Fortunately, my wait was worth it, because I feel that I have indulged in your beauty. "
The woman called the Siren gave out a smile like a silver bell, and her smile was particularly beautiful in this stormy time.
"It's not easy for a magician to know my name.
I thought anyone who knew my name would have died long ago!
Tell me, magician, what can I do for you?
For the sake of you knowing my name, I will help you. "
"Siren, the princess of the ocean, I want you to be my follower and follow me to conquer the world!"
"Bold!
magician.
Even if you are a magician, in essence you are just a human being. "
The siren's smile disappeared, replaced by anger and disdain, "In the age of magic, you are just a plaything of my father and the king!
Magician, if you don't give me a good reason, I'll tear you apart in no time.
You need to confess to me with your blood and life! "
Just as the siren uttered the last sentence viciously, several waterspouts immediately appeared around her.
"My beautiful princess, anger will only take away your beauty, and nothing else."
With a few flicks of the wand in Riddle's hand, the waterspout around Siren disappeared.
"I respect you, and please trust me."
"Who are you?
Neither the Supreme Council nor the Council of Magic has anyone like you. "
Siren looked puzzled.
"My name is Tom Riddle, I'm a businessman, but I'm also a magician."
Riddle introduced himself, "Of course I won't be that bunch of trash from the Supreme Council or the Council of Magic.
They will only kneel on the ground and kiss your instep in front of you, but they don't know how to spread your glory to all over the world. "
"Mr. Riddle, your words moved me a little bit, but I still haven't decided to be your follower."
The Siren said, "Although your magic is very powerful, it is very difficult for you to defeat me.
Mr. Riddle, please go ahead and give your reasons.
If you have a reason to convince me, I will be your attendant as long as you live. "
"Ms. Siren, if I remember correctly, the existence of your ancient Greek gods is based on human beliefs, right?
Of course, your faerie blood gave you the gift of continuing to exist even when humans stopped worshiping the gods of ancient Greece. "
Riddle said calmly, "But, you are no longer the siren goddess who can be majestic in the four oceans.
Look at you, what do you think you can be proud of, other than using the forces of nature to cast your poor remaining spells on a hurricane day?
But if you cooperate with me, maybe I can't save the entire ancient Greek gods, but it is still possible to restore you to your former glory.
So, are you willing to continue to struggle in the deep sea, or are you willing to cooperate with me? "
After finishing speaking, Riddle did not show the expression just now, but looked like a superior.
"You are the most ambitious human being I have ever met."
The Siren laughed loudly, "Even in the age of mythology, those humans who became legendary heroes didn't have such ambitions as you.
However, you convinced me that I will become your subordinate.
However, remember your promise to me, I want you to restore my siren, the princess who rules the seas, to all her glory. "
"Now that we have reached the goal of cooperation, let me arrange a residence for our princess."
Riddle walked down the cliff with the siren.
In fact, although Cape Triangle is isolated overseas, but because of this, the vegetation here is extremely lush, which made Gotham City apply for a national natural park from the federal government.
Because this is a national natural park, it is of course impossible to sell it to private real estate developers for development.
It's a pity that these prohibitions are not valid for Riddle. He built a very ancient Greek-style villa beside a small lake in the depths of the forest, and there is also a garden attached to the villa.
Riddle had his house-elf decorate the villa and the garden.
The main style of the building is constructed of marble and gold, precious stones, porcelain and silk can be seen everywhere, Riddle is simply a siren villa built according to the palace of the main god on Mount Olympus.
Riddle's sincerity naturally satisfied the siren, after all, she had never lived in such a luxurious place in the age of mythology.
"Your servants will be taken away by you, and I will find some nymphs to serve me."
Siren said.
No matter how downcast the Siren is, she was once a goddess-level existence.
Since she is a goddess in ancient Greece, the ones who can serve her are naturally those demigods born in forests, lakes and rivers—Nymphs.
Nymphs have good spells and high loyalty, but for ordinary humans, they have the appearance of an angel and the figure of a devil.
It's a pity that there are no ancient Greek gods in this era, so the nymphs have no object of allegiance, and they have gone into hiding.
But at this time the siren appeared, and naturally the nearby nymphs all came to join the siren.
Nymphs' smooth and delicate bodies like white jade are only hung with a few pieces of light and fluffy silk, while their hair, which is as bright as gold silk, is dotted with a few delicate flowers or green leaves like emeralds.
When these nymphs appeared, the male monks under Casillas all showed obsession.
This makes Siren very dissatisfied, she does not allow anyone to covet her maid.
So she waved her hand, and the rain curtain kept these male monks out.
The Siren knew that these monks were Riddle's soldiers, so she didn't dare to kill them at will.
"Your Excellency Riddle, if possible, I still hope that you can bring some guests worthy of my respect to visit next time.
Then I will prepare honey and fruit for you, and sweet ale. "
Riddle didn't say anything, of course he knew how attractive these nymphs were to humans, so he wouldn't criticize his subordinates either.
But he won't bring these ordinary people here next time
"Master, it's already three o'clock in the morning. If you don't go to sleep, I can only cancel your trip tomorrow morning."
Al Fu stood at the entrance of the Batcave, looking at Bruce Wayne who was staring at the screen in a daze.
Since his young master chose to become Batman, the young master has more and more worries.
Although I have tried my best to help the young master, the young master's mood has become more and more gloomy.
Originally, Ah Fu thought it would be a good thing for the young master to know Mr. Li and Mr. Hamada, but now Ah Fu found that the young master became more and more depressed because of these two gentlemen.
Originally, Ah Fu also asked the young master about the two gentlemen, but the young master always talked about him.
"Master, are you troubled by Mr. Li and Mr. Hamada again?
Mr. Li and Mr. Hamada are already adults, they have their own judgment, the young master doesn't need to care too much. "
"Ah Fu, actually when I chose to be Batman, I knew that I couldn't judge others, even bad guys, because of my own likes and dislikes.
I had a conflict with Mr. Li last night. He insisted on castrating the suspect who tried to rape others, but I still insisted that the suspect should be handed over to the police.
Because we have different philosophies, we clashed.
Although I won him, I feel like I lost a friend.
At the press conference, he also showed great alienation and disgust towards me.
Ah Fu, do you think my idea is wrong?
Maybe, I shouldn't be a Batman? "
Bruce Wayne is a little confused now.
According to the original plot, after Bruce chose to become Batman, his first allies were Director Gordon and Prosecutor Dante. Their law enforcement concepts are very close to Batman, so Batman never doubted himself.
And when the Jason Toth incident happened later, Batman had already believed in his own beliefs at that time, so it didn't affect Batman.
But it's different now, Bruce knew Li Lei when he became Batman, and Li Lei also became a vigilante after Bruce became Batman.
Gotham City now has two vigilantes, one is happy and vengeful, while the other is rigidly pursuing "judicial procedural justice"
After the comparison, Li Lei's landlord is supported by more and more Gotham citizens; while Bruce's Batman is neither supported by the citizens nor recognized by the police.
According to Bruce's idea, Li Lei will eventually become his assistant or partner, and the two will work together to clean up the evils in Gotham.
But now it seems that my idea may be too good.
"Master, as I said at the beginning, Mr. Li is an independent adult.
He has his values and judgment, so you can't force him to have the same ideas as you, master. "
Ah Fu persuaded, "Especially Mr. Li is a Chinese, his background and view of history are completely different from yours.
If you insist on forcing Mr. Li to be consistent with you, then you will only lose Mr. Li as a friend.
In my opinion, your purpose is to fight the crimes in Gotham City, but you have returned the power of trial to the judicial system; but Mr. Li insisted on his point of view on trial.
Master, if you proceed from your conscience, do you think that Mr. Li did something wrong? "
Seeing that Bruce didn't refute his words, Ah Fu knew that Bruce probably agreed with Li Lei deep down in his heart.
"Since you think Mr. Li's actions are in line with your conscience and the justice in your heart, why do you want to organize?
Maybe you have your insistence, well, if you didn't see it, should you still feel guilty about it?
If the world loses a good person, we may feel sorry; but if the world loses a bad person, there may not be many people who will feel sorry.
Master, you said that you have two purposes for becoming Batman, one is to fight crimes in Gotham, and the other is to protect the good people of Gotham.
Since Mr. Lee is not hurting the good people of Gotham, and is also cracking down on Gotham's anti-drunk, why should you care about Mr. Lee's actions?
Maybe you are not used to seeing it, so can you choose to see it out of sight?
Well, sir, we just talked for another half an hour, you really need to take a shower and go to bed to rest. "
This time Bruce listened to Afu's advice, left his workbench, followed Afu out of the Batcave and took the elevator back to the secret door of his study.
After returning to the study, Ah Fu bowed and said: "It's getting late, young master, remember to go to bed early.
I have to go back to bed to rest. Although the old man is a light sleeper, he still needs enough sleep. "
Hearing Afu's self-joking, Bruce couldn't help laughing: "Afu, you are too self-effacing, with your current physique and skills, more than [-]% of Gotham gangsters can't get close to you.
But it's getting late, good night! "
Bruce and Afu separated at the door of the study, and each walked towards their own bedrooms.
The magnificent Wayne Manor stands like a bustling sculpture of Gotham in the suburbs of Gotham in the past, but this manor has long lost its former hustle and bustle.
Bruce remembers that when his parents were still alive, this was the social center of Gotham City and the East Coast of the United States.
Celebrities, sports stars, politicians... they all hope to receive a party invitation from Wayne Manor on a certain night, which is enough for them to show off for a month.
But it all stopped on the day Bruce's parents died.
In the current Wayne Manor, there are only some hired part-time workers during the day to take care of the manor's cleaning and flower garden maintenance, and at night, besides Bruce, there is only Al Fu.
And in those years when Bruce disappeared, the huge manor was guarded by the old man Afu.
It's not that no one is based on the wealth of Wayne Manor, it's just that those uneasy and kind people came in and never left.
Alfred once said, why are the roses in Wayne Manor the most beautiful in the United States?
That's because the grounds of the Rose Garden are buried with enemies of the Wayne family.
Bruce took this as a joke when he was a kid, but now Bruce doesn't think so.
For A Fu, Bruce is the only family member, he will not pursue and care about A Fu.
Everyone is selfish, and Bruce was selfish when he wasn't Batman.
When Li Lei went to work the next day, Mrs. Landingham reminded Li Lei that the company might need to expand its enrollment.
Since Li Lei showed his face at the press conference, many companies have regarded Li Lei's financial company as a shortcut for them to get on the Wayne Group.
Although Mrs. Landingham clearly informed that the financial company has no business or financial relationship with Wayne Group, more and more people outsource part of their financial work to Li Lei's financial consulting company.
"It's not impossible to expand it a little bit, after all, I rarely do financial work now."
Li Lei thought for a while, and then ordered, "You can communicate with the interior design company to see if we can add about four more working positions under our current situation.
If possible, we will expand the enrollment after their renovation is completed.
By the way, Mrs. Landingham, in the future, if there is such a client who comes to our company with the intention of making friends with the Wayne Group, just reject it directly.
With the number of our current customers is enough to feed us, we don't need that many customers. "
"I see what you mean."
Mrs. Landingham nodded.
At this time, the little brother who happened to be in charge of delivering the courier put a bouquet of flowers and other couriers belonging to Li Lei on the small table in Li Lei's office. Looking at the red roses that came with the courier, Mrs. Landingham joked, "No Thinking that Mr. Li is so charming, there is actually a girl who can let go of her reserve and send flowers to pursue you."
"Maybe it's just flowers from ordinary friends."
Li Lei signed the courier brother's form.
"normal friend?
Do ordinary friends send roses?
And still such a bright red rose! "
Mrs. Landingham obviously didn't believe Li Lei's words, "Okay, I know Mr. Li has always been emotional, so I won't disturb your sweet moment."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Landingham left Li Lei's office with the courier brother, and she closed the door of Li Lei's office very intimately.
"Red rose?
This is really quite rare. "
Li Lei took a bouquet of red roses, and then opened the card in the flowers.
As a result, after Li Lei read the card, his face became even darker.
The pink card with golden patterns was written in very beautiful cursive script, and the ink was also very beautiful black with a faint fragrance.
If this really came from a certain girl, Li Lei might be flattered.
But this card is signed by Tom Riddle, and also "Your Beloved"
Tom Riddle.
Li Lei couldn't help shivering when he thought of that elegant and classical man.
He opened the office door with the rose, "Mrs. Landingham, you can find a vase to put the roses in, and put them outside, don't bring them in."
"OK.
what?
Mr. Li, are you sure you want to put the flowers outside?
This is a red rose someone gave you! "
"Yes, I'm allergic to rose pollen."
If it wasn't for Li Lei's fear that he would provoke the Poison Ivy Girl's revenge by destroying the plants, he would have trampled the bouquet of flowers into flower mud.
Although Mrs. Landingham didn't quite believe the reason of Li Lei's allergy, she carefully put the roses in a bisque vase, and then put the plain roses on the dining table in the pantry.
But to Li Lei's confusion, Riddle sent a small package in addition to a bouquet of flowers.
Li Lei opened the package, and there were several Blu-ray data discs in the package.
The CD also came with a note saying, "Here is the data you want.
Let me know if you need anything in the future without risking it yourself.
Love you, Tom. "
Li Lei didn't know if Riddle was under some kind of curse, or his brain was damaged while studying the spell, so why did he suddenly express his love for the fateful enemy designated by his system?
It's not that Li Lei can't accept homosexuality. After all, when he was growing up, he almost fell in love with men twice.
It's just that Li Lei, who was still very timid at the time, didn't dare to express it, so the strong love hidden in his heart slowly fermented into the sourness of memory.
After all the men he once loved got married, Li Lei also found that no other man could attract him.
So Li Lei couldn't help but sneer in his heart, how could Riddle Hod think that he was in love with him?
So Li Lei tore up the note, then took the CD and opened the secret door next to the bookshelf.
Behind the secret door is a porch, on one side is the stairs to the second floor, and on the other side it seems to be the end.
It's just that Li Lei went to the end and put the first sheet on the wooden board.
A ray of light swept across Li Lei's cane, and then a door opened.
Behind the door is a downward staircase, and Li Lei walked down the stairs to the basement.
Wu Yong and Hamada Hiroshi are studying the ancient corps in history to see how these corps trained and fought. They are also studying some cold weapons that can be developed at the technological level at that time.
In Wu Yong's words, he must remember these things, hoping to change the fate of Shuibo Liangshan when he returns to Liangshanzhai.
"What are you holding in your hand?"
Hamada Hiroshi saw that Li Lei found an independent computer, and then stuffed these BD disks into the optical drive.
You must know that with the development of wireless networks and the Internet, this kind of data storage tool is rarely used by anyone.
"This is the data stored in the Hydra secret base we went to yesterday, and Riddle sent it by courier today."
After speaking, Li Lei inserted one of the discs into the computer, and began to check it.
"Aren't you afraid that he will put a Trojan horse or virus on you?
It's so big, just read it directly. "
Hamada Hiroshi reminded.
"First of all, there are currently no viruses and Trojan horses that can break through the defense of the Red Queen. Please have some confidence in the Red Queen."
Li Lei said.
Although Riddle is able to combine magic and viruses, it is based on currently known virus programs, so these are inseparable from Hong Hou.
"Secondly, my computer does not have a wireless network. Even if it is infected, I will destroy this computer at worst."
Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi hoarded a lot of these disposable computers for browsing data in the basement.
It does not have a wireless network card, as long as they are not connected to physical data lines, they are individual hosts, and even if they are infected with viruses, they cannot spread.
Moreover, the hard drives in these computers are all empty without any data, so there is no need to worry about data loss.
"Finally, if Riddle is going to do something to us, does he need to put a Trojan horse?"
The last sentence was Li Lei's self-mockery.
In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is meaningless.
Therefore, in the face of Riddle's powerful magic, it would be very difficult for Li Lei and others to protect themselves, so Riddle didn't need a Trojan horse virus to play tricks.
Li Lei checked the data quickly and said, "Actually, there are not many valuable data for us, most of them are the operation data of this base.
A small amount of data suggests that Hydra currently has several important headquarters addresses, but the detailed addresses are not clear. We only know that there are three in the United States, one in Canada, one each in Mexico, and Argentina; in addition, there are also in Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Switzerland. There is one of each.
This base is not their scientific research base, basically there is no research record.
No wonder Riddle gave it to us so readily, because he knew we couldn't find anything. "
"Actually, it cannot be said that it is completely worthless, at least we have obtained direct evidence that Hydra still exists.
Even if we can't prove that the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters has been emptied by Hydra, we can at least prove that Hydra still has several headquarters operating in the United States.
If we provided this data to S.H.I.E.L.D., I think it would be enough to get their attention internally. "
"But how do we account for the provenance of the document?
If we say we went to that base, don't the people in the Ministry of Defense know that the target of that missile is us?
Compared to the fact that Hydra exists inside S.H.I.E.L.D., I think the U.S. government cares more about how we instantly modified the target of that missile, right?
Whoever masters this technology will be invincible on the battlefield. "
Li Lei is very familiar with the pissing nature of the US government, and he can sacrifice everything for the greater good.
Hearing what Li Lei said, Hamada Hiroshi closed his mouth.
Everyone put the Hydra base data aside, and then began to analyze Li Lei's current situation.
According to the current situation, Li Lei is actually very safe.
Although he temporarily offended the Penguin, Li Lei had Batman as an ally in Gotham, and at the same time he was backed by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Even if the Penguin wanted to take revenge on Li Lei, he would not do it at this time.
As for Riddle, the system insisted on making the two of them old enemies, but Riddle insisted on going against the system, so it seemed that Riddle still didn't bother to kill Li Lei at this time.
Or maybe Riddle wants to kill Li Lei when he grows up to be an opponent enough to challenge him.
This sense of accomplishment may be stronger.
"I have a few opinions for Brother Li. Let Brother Li listen to it."
After listening to Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi's analysis, Wu Yong began to summarize how Li Lei should break the situation, "First, brother Li and the heir of the Wayne family must not fall out no matter what, at least you must maintain your fundamental interests. above is consistent.
Strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes. If there is no strong local family to support Brother Li, it will be difficult for Brother Li to gain a foothold in Gotham City.
What's more, this Gotham City is really "the country is about to perish and evildoers are rampant". Without the support of local forces, Brother Li doesn't know when he will be eaten.
Second, S.H.I.E.L.D. is the foundation of Brother Li's life. The backer can only scare others, and he can calm others down.
If Brother Lee can't get the entire Gotham S.H.I.E.L.D.
Although I don't know what the purpose of their arrangement is, it does give Brother Li a lot of convenience.
You have the most aboveboard sources of intelligence, and at the same time the most aboveboard thug army, which is enough to make you stand up in Gotham City.
Third, whether Riddle is an enemy or a friend is temporarily uncertain, but since he does not regard us as an enemy for the time being, then we don't need to regard him as an enemy.
Being too nervous can make us lose our basic judgment.
Let's keep a limited contact with that Mr. Riddle, and don't really become good friends with him.
Finally, and the most crucial point, since Brother Li already has an official status, why doesn't Brother Li establish a good relationship with the official figures?
With Brother Bai Dao taking care of you, is Brother Li still worried that the first character will trouble you? "
Li Lei fully agrees with Wu Yong's last suggestion.
Because apart from the lunatic Joker, there really isn't any gangster or gangster family in Gotham City who would take the initiative to provoke the Gotham City government; and they even maintain a kind of restraint in good faith against the Gotham police and prosecutors.
Li Lei's S.H.I.E.L.D. is a federal law enforcement agency, so when he comes to Gotham City, he has to deal with the Gotham police. After all, they are the local law enforcement forces.
Since Li Lei is the boss in charge of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Gotham branch's operations department, it is also necessary to visit the bosses of the Gotham police and prosecutors; at the same time, it is also necessary to make friends with the mayor and the city council speaker. .
Thinking of this, Li Lei sent a text message to Phil using the mobile phone issued to him by S.H.I.E.L.D., wanting to confirm when he would get his ID, uniform and gun.
And Phil may have been paying attention to himself recently, and Li Lei's text messages soon responded.
Phil said that the official badge awarding ceremony will be held on the day when the Gotham branch office is established, but Li Lei's certificate, uniform and gun will be issued in these two days, and Li Lei can go to the branch office to collect them after receiving the notice.
After getting more accurate news, Li Lei didn't ask Phil any more.
Instead, Phil sent another text message, reminding Li Lei very ambiguously, "You are the assistant director of the Gotham branch, and you must uphold your duties. This is your right and your obligation."
"It seems that the news that Dam Dan came to you last time has already reached the General Administration, and the news is quite fast."
Hamada Hiroshi saw the news on Li Lei's mobile phone, and couldn't help sighing, "It seems that the General Administration is still very concerned about our side."
"Of course."
It is not easy for Li Lei to tell Hamada Hiroshi what may happen later.
Because of the plot in "Captain America 2", S.H.I.E.L.D. was almost disbanded. Although the Avengers maintained their alliance, there were already many internal conflicts, and the head of the Cyclops was also in a hidden state.
Although Phil later rebuilt S.H.I.E.L.D., the new S.H.I.E.L.D. is obviously not as powerful as the old S.H.I.E.L.D. Otherwise, the entire Avengers Alliance would have been almost wiped out when Thanos hit Earth.
But this time, Director Cyclops buried the nail of the Gotham branch in advance, and it will be helpful to the entire Avengers later.
"By the way, Hamada, are you interested in taking a part-time management role at S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Li Lei suddenly asked, "After I have served as the Director of the Operations Department, it is not easy to be the Director of the Intelligence Department.
But at present, there is no one in the Gotham branch worthy of my trust, so I can only ask you to fill this vacancy.
Otherwise the other execs will ask their guy to come over, which is not good for me. "
"I have no comment."
Hamada Hiroshi shrugged, "Anyway, I don't need to run tasks on the front line.
By the way, you are the only polished commander in your operation department right now?
Although Jason was able to join, the bureau would definitely not assign him dangerous or complicated tasks. If something happened and the media found out, the pressure on the president would be great. "
"I've thought about this. Since I can't recruit a direct army, I'll just make it impossible for the people below to form a group."
Li Lei thought for a while and said, "I plan to use some of them as current agents, while others will be recruited through the recruitment office of the General Administration.
In this way, the veteran faction and the young faction cannot play together anyway.
Besides that, I also really want to recruit some talent in Gotham City to fill the needs of the operation. "
Li Lei knows that there are many super villains in Gotham City, but there are also many superheroes at the same time.
Since I have already abducted the master's second young master, should I also abduct the master's first young master along the way?
Li Lei believes that the system should have revised the timeline of the Robins. Since the second youngest is so old, the eldest is even older. Presumably Bruce will not adopt him as a Robin again, right?
Li Lei reckoned that if Bruce really wanted to train Robin, the third young master would be the best candidate.
Although San Shao's fighting power is not as good as his two big brothers, nor his younger brother, but San Shao's intelligence is the strongest.
It can be said that San Shao is the master's best partner.
Thinking of this, Li Lei felt much less guilty. At the same time, he also felt that he really wanted to find Dick Grayson, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for the first Robin to become a street gangster.
In addition to the young and old, there are actually many neutral superheroes in Gotham City, such as: Angel of Death, Night Chaser, Knights and attendants, etc., in addition to those who support the Gordon family and the Kane family. Batman man.
In addition to these people to recruit, Li Lei is also looking for allies on the Gotham police side.
Although the current Chief Jillian Noble and Captain Arnold Frass are both well-known corrupt criminals in the Gotham City Police Department, they still stood by Gotham when they destructively endangered Gotham City.
Therefore, the official setting materials of DC comics did not list them as villains, but classified them as neutral.
That being the case, Li Lei felt that the two of them should be allies he could win in the police station.
As for Gordon, Li Lei can only say that his character is only suitable for Batman, and if he cooperates with him, there will definitely be problems.
Gotham City is a city built on islands, so there are more than a dozen islands in the urban area of Gotham City.
Most of the larger islands are inhabited, but there are also some smaller islands inhabited only by lighthouses and a few managers employed by the government.
However, with the emergence of modern navigation facilities, the role of lighthouses has gradually become a symbolic role, and because of the emergence of comprehensive energy lighthouses, occupations such as tower keepers are no longer needed, so these small islands are gradually abandoned. up.
Originally, some gangsters or gangster families occupied some of the islands as smuggling docks, but as the smuggling channels became more and more mature, these small islands that were used for the second time were completely abandoned.
It would be fine if Paris Island, Sullivan Island and Great and Little Herman Islands are connected by roads and bridges. During holidays, these usually uninhabited islands will also become camping or picnic destinations for some people.
However, because Cape Triangle is isolated, except for a few small boats that occasionally dock, there is almost no means of transportation to get here, so Cape Triangle has gradually become a deserted island.
And the Gotham city government also half-pushed and half-simply designated the Cape Triangle and the nearby sea area as a so-called "natural protection park"
Therefore, a lot of funds have been applied for from the federal government for maintenance expenses.
Only now, facing the turbulent waves of the Atlantic Ocean, on a cliff facing the sea on Cape Triangle, two lonely figures are standing there.
If passing boatmen saw them, they would think they were crazy.
"Master, why did we come here in such bad weather?
This is not a good place. "
The man in monk's clothes was Casillas, and he was persuading Riddle, who was wearing a wizard's robe, beside him.
"Casillas, don't start complaining because of a little bit of bad weather, our cause can be much more severe than this."
Riddle said softly.
He is not using magic now, so the tide and rain have wet his clothes and pants, and even his socks have become wet.
Being blown by the cold sea breeze, even Riddle felt a little unbearably cold.
"We're going to meet a beautiful lady later, and I don't think she'll want to chat with us for a few minutes if we don't show some sincerity.
Casillas, you have to learn to be patient and persistent. "
"Yes, my master."
Casillas stopped complaining, but stood on the edge of the cliff with Riddle, blowing the sea breeze.
"It seems that the lovely lady has seen our sincerity and is willing to come out and talk to us."
The moment Riddle spoke, a monstrous wave crashed over.
And after the waves disappeared, there was one more person on the cliff.
woman.
The woman was wearing a sea-blue tulle floor-length skirt, her graceful figure looming under the skirt.
If Casillas hadn't learned about Buddhism when he practiced with Gu Yi, his state of mind would have been messed up.
"The Siren, the most beautiful and powerful lady on the planet."
Riddle complimented, "I stood here waiting for hours just to see your beauty.
Fortunately, my wait was worth it, because I feel that I have indulged in your beauty. "
The woman called the Siren gave out a smile like a silver bell, and her smile was particularly beautiful in this stormy time.
"It's not easy for a magician to know my name.
I thought anyone who knew my name would have died long ago!
Tell me, magician, what can I do for you?
For the sake of you knowing my name, I will help you. "
"Siren, the princess of the ocean, I want you to be my follower and follow me to conquer the world!"
"Bold!
magician.
Even if you are a magician, in essence you are just a human being. "
The siren's smile disappeared, replaced by anger and disdain, "In the age of magic, you are just a plaything of my father and the king!
Magician, if you don't give me a good reason, I'll tear you apart in no time.
You need to confess to me with your blood and life! "
Just as the siren uttered the last sentence viciously, several waterspouts immediately appeared around her.
"My beautiful princess, anger will only take away your beauty, and nothing else."
With a few flicks of the wand in Riddle's hand, the waterspout around Siren disappeared.
"I respect you, and please trust me."
"Who are you?
Neither the Supreme Council nor the Council of Magic has anyone like you. "
Siren looked puzzled.
"My name is Tom Riddle, I'm a businessman, but I'm also a magician."
Riddle introduced himself, "Of course I won't be that bunch of trash from the Supreme Council or the Council of Magic.
They will only kneel on the ground and kiss your instep in front of you, but they don't know how to spread your glory to all over the world. "
"Mr. Riddle, your words moved me a little bit, but I still haven't decided to be your follower."
The Siren said, "Although your magic is very powerful, it is very difficult for you to defeat me.
Mr. Riddle, please go ahead and give your reasons.
If you have a reason to convince me, I will be your attendant as long as you live. "
"Ms. Siren, if I remember correctly, the existence of your ancient Greek gods is based on human beliefs, right?
Of course, your faerie blood gave you the gift of continuing to exist even when humans stopped worshiping the gods of ancient Greece. "
Riddle said calmly, "But, you are no longer the siren goddess who can be majestic in the four oceans.
Look at you, what do you think you can be proud of, other than using the forces of nature to cast your poor remaining spells on a hurricane day?
But if you cooperate with me, maybe I can't save the entire ancient Greek gods, but it is still possible to restore you to your former glory.
So, are you willing to continue to struggle in the deep sea, or are you willing to cooperate with me? "
After finishing speaking, Riddle did not show the expression just now, but looked like a superior.
"You are the most ambitious human being I have ever met."
The Siren laughed loudly, "Even in the age of mythology, those humans who became legendary heroes didn't have such ambitions as you.
However, you convinced me that I will become your subordinate.
However, remember your promise to me, I want you to restore my siren, the princess who rules the seas, to all her glory. "
"Now that we have reached the goal of cooperation, let me arrange a residence for our princess."
Riddle walked down the cliff with the siren.
In fact, although Cape Triangle is isolated overseas, but because of this, the vegetation here is extremely lush, which made Gotham City apply for a national natural park from the federal government.
Because this is a national natural park, it is of course impossible to sell it to private real estate developers for development.
It's a pity that these prohibitions are not valid for Riddle. He built a very ancient Greek-style villa beside a small lake in the depths of the forest, and there is also a garden attached to the villa.
Riddle had his house-elf decorate the villa and the garden.
The main style of the building is constructed of marble and gold, precious stones, porcelain and silk can be seen everywhere, Riddle is simply a siren villa built according to the palace of the main god on Mount Olympus.
Riddle's sincerity naturally satisfied the siren, after all, she had never lived in such a luxurious place in the age of mythology.
"Your servants will be taken away by you, and I will find some nymphs to serve me."
Siren said.
No matter how downcast the Siren is, she was once a goddess-level existence.
Since she is a goddess in ancient Greece, the ones who can serve her are naturally those demigods born in forests, lakes and rivers—Nymphs.
Nymphs have good spells and high loyalty, but for ordinary humans, they have the appearance of an angel and the figure of a devil.
It's a pity that there are no ancient Greek gods in this era, so the nymphs have no object of allegiance, and they have gone into hiding.
But at this time the siren appeared, and naturally the nearby nymphs all came to join the siren.
Nymphs' smooth and delicate bodies like white jade are only hung with a few pieces of light and fluffy silk, while their hair, which is as bright as gold silk, is dotted with a few delicate flowers or green leaves like emeralds.
When these nymphs appeared, the male monks under Casillas all showed obsession.
This makes Siren very dissatisfied, she does not allow anyone to covet her maid.
So she waved her hand, and the rain curtain kept these male monks out.
The Siren knew that these monks were Riddle's soldiers, so she didn't dare to kill them at will.
"Your Excellency Riddle, if possible, I still hope that you can bring some guests worthy of my respect to visit next time.
Then I will prepare honey and fruit for you, and sweet ale. "
Riddle didn't say anything, of course he knew how attractive these nymphs were to humans, so he wouldn't criticize his subordinates either.
But he won't bring these ordinary people here next time
