833 Meeting 1
After reaching an agreement with Raymond, Meredith immediately returned to her own tent with joy, but everything inside made her a little stunned.
The temporary tent was covered with thick carpets, and many exquisite landscape paintings were hung on the four walls, and a huge crystal chandelier was even placed on the top of the tent with a levitation technique. The exquisite white candles on it The halo formed made the entire tent dim and full of warmth.
But sitting in the corner and wearing the fine hollowed-out leather armor, Meredith couldn't help speeding up his pace to come to this person after activating the force field protection in the tent. "Gladys! This is just a temporary residence, not your boudoir!"
Gladys's expression froze in the exquisite and luxurious floor-to-ceiling mirror, and her well-prepared makeup couldn't conceal her astonishment.
The atmosphere in the tent that suddenly fell into silence became oppressive, and Gladys, who was there in a daze, finally made Ms. Meredith sigh, hugged her shoulders, and spoke to the beautiful girl in the mirror to persuade her. "Gladys, we may have to evacuate at any time now, you can't do this every time! When danger strikes, your beauty and elegance cannot give you a chance to survive..."
Meredith was only halfway through, Gladys, whose eyes were already red, lowered his head and turned around to hug Meredith, sobbing softly. "Gu, aunt... I just can't help it..."
Ms. Meredith's expression was softened by the little girl's coquettishness. She gently stroked Gladys's soft hair and sat beside her. "You are not young, you can't always treat yourself like a little girl, not to mention that under the current situation, survival is the first priority, and everything else can be discarded!"
"Auntie, auntie. Then why do you have to win over that kid? In terms of strength, he is far behind the patriarchs under your command. In terms of loyalty, he doesn't even want to stay in the nightmare world..."
"Silly boy, Raymond's research on the Sith race is irreplaceable by others. If it weren't for that lunatic, no one would know his talent in this area," was changed by Gladys, Ms. Meredith Her expression became a little weird, she hesitated for a while and began to talk as if she was analyzing and summarizing. "Even the chief research master of the Presbyterian Church needs to go through cumbersome procedures to extract the energy from the vertical eyeballs. This kid can directly absorb it. Such a guy must not let him out of his grasp!" [
Gladys, who buried his head in Meredith's arms, was a little surprised. He looked up in confusion. "Is it really that important?"
"Silly boy, you will know the result soon. As long as you can stop worrying me, aunt will be thankful!"
The words were teasing, but Ms. Meredith, who was full of concern in her expression, carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of Gladys' eyes. But the make-up that was wiped away with the tear stains made her delicate face very interesting.
And Ms. Meredith with a smile in her eyes. It also immediately alarmed her niece Gladys. After exclaiming, he broke free from her arms, and after expressing dissatisfaction, he hurriedly touched up his makeup.
Ms. Meredith smiled wryly and shook her head. Although this spoiled child is a headache, you can see a faint shadow of that person from between her eyebrows...
After so many years, an opportunity like this suddenly appeared, and Ms. Meredith's expression became very soft when she thought of the opportunity to go to the extreme north to find that person in the future. And the silent mouth shape is also very similar to the word 'Eternal Night'...
Gladys, who was sitting there quickly adjusting her makeup, was keenly aware of her aunt's absence, and her mouth shape also confused this beautiful girl...
It's just that everything that happened in Ms. Meredith's tent was just a small episode. The mercenaries and secret guards stationed outside the tents were resting after the war at the junction of the gravel plain and the desert.
The siege two days ago did not cause heavy casualties due to adequate preparations, but for those who lost their relatives and friends in this battle, there is still pain to the bone.
And on the third day after the end of Zhadu, with the arrival of a remnant army from the east, the atmosphere in the entire garrison became tense, and that chilling atmosphere also spread in the garrison.
Dirges, who had obtained the inheritance talisman of Hurricane City, went straight to the station accompanied by Vicky and Captain Gibson, and brought the Sith crystals and a large number of crystal fragments they obtained during the breakout process.
Because Dirges had not recovered from his previous serious injury, in order to ensure that he would not suffer internal strife and sneak attacks from other teams during the retreat, the stubborn Vicky asked the captain of the guard Gibson to lead his team to break through from the east, but this also made him When the guards came here, the overall staff reduction reached 30%, and their strength was greatly damaged.
The three Dilgos who came here in light clothes were welcomed into Ms. Meredith's tent, and Evelyn and Raymond, who were notified to come, also came here one after the other.
Dirges, whose complexion was sallow and silver-white hair had lost its luster, looked much older, but he still sat there with his back straight and his eyes very sharp.
But Vicky standing behind Dilgos was extremely haggard, while the captain of the guard Gibson on his left still looked cold, but after seeing Raymond, he nodded and showed an unnatural smile. [
"Since everyone is here, don't waste your time," Meredith said calmly, pointing to the empty small table in the middle of the tent. "Ifli, put all the crystal fragments obtained by the secret guard on it!"
Of the four small tables side by side in the center, only three were covered with crystal shards. After saluting to Dilgos, the head of the secret guard, Ifli, immediately walked over and took out the crystal shards kept in his hand. , all spread out on the table.
As soon as he entered the door, he noticed that the atmosphere inside was not right. At this time, he also found that he had become the focus of everyone's attention.
There was emotion in Dirges' gaze, and indescribable sigh in Vicky's gaze. Although Ms. Meredith's expression was calm, the smugness in her eyes was fleeting.
Seeing Raymond standing still at the door, Ms. Meredith, who coughed lightly, laughed immediately. "The crystal fragments obtained from the northern area of Hurricane City were sent over yesterday, Raymond, please quickly check to see if you can piece together a complete crystal..."
After saluting to Dirges, small red dots flickered in the pupils of Raymond who came to these small tables, and a smile gradually appeared on his face after the quick sorting.
Ten minutes later, more than a hundred crystal fragments were sorted out by Lei Meng and placed in front of everyone. "The crystal fragments obtained in each area should be able to piece together two complete crystals, should we start now?"
"immediately!"
"Can!"
Ms. Meredith and Dirges spoke almost at the same time, but the meanings in them were somewhat different. Raymond, who was keeping an eye on everything in the tent, waved his hand so that he was surrounded by the sight-blocking force.
Ms. Meredith's expression sank in astonishment, but she immediately recovered her previous calmness.
Dirges, who was sitting facing Raymond, was furious, but his shoulder was gently held down by Vicky.
But Yi Fuli of the secret guard kept his expression unchanged, while the captain of the guard, Gibson, frowned slightly.
However, Lei Meng, who was in the force field that cuts off the line of sight, quickly started to piece together, and soon after two complete special crystals were pieced together, a huge but strong energy atmosphere began to spread.
But facing these two special crystals, Lei Meng was annoyed and muttered depressingly. "The crystal fragments that were thought to be the most produced have now become an important part of piecing together a complete special crystal. Could it be that these vertical eyes are intentional..." (to be continued...)
