Chapter 20 Another Secret

"A national weapon of the United States?" I was so surprised that I could hardly speak. "Are you sure? How did that thing get to China?"

Terry shook his head helplessly: "No matter how good my intelligence work is, I still can't know everything?"

"That is to say, no matter what the reason is, the national weapon of the United States is now in China, so those people from the Holy Spear Alliance will go crazy to snatch it, right?"

"Absolutely." Terry took a Baiwei Guo and ate it while saying, "Have you seen this Baiwei Guo?"

"I saw it."

"Its sweetness and deliciousness will attract many insects to compete for food, and there are indeed many benefits to eating the fruit, but these insects will eventually be eaten by the birds waiting nearby. You understand me

Do you mean? "

“Have you Americans also learned to beat around the bush?”

"There's nothing we can do! There are too many Chinese people, and I'll be at a disadvantage when dealing with you who don't understand your rules."

I nodded: "I understand what you mean, but I think you also got something wrong. It seems that our communication is not in-depth enough, and it is necessary to be more candid. So now let me take the lead."

I cleared my throat and said: "I admit that your fruit tastes good." Seeing Terry's deliberately disdainful look, I quickly corrected: "Okay, it should be very powerful. But the situation is not what you think. So serious. First, we are not bugs. The three major Chinese guilds are three dragons. Each one of them will destroy the dragons of two or three small countries, so even if we want to eat the fruit, the birds can only watch from a distance. Second, we were not attracted by the aroma of the fruit. In fact, we didn’t know the existence of this fruit. We three dragons were all sleeping, but we were suddenly bitten by a crazy giant eagle. After that, we got rid of you This eagle heard in its mouth that another eagle bit the dragon bravely because a fruit fell into the dragon's lair. Do you understand now?"

Terry was obviously surprised: "Didn't you get the stuff from me?"

"Nonsense. Otherwise, why do you think I came to you? Show off? I just wish no one knew about it. How can I make it known to everyone?"

"That's weird!" Terry touched his chin and said, "The day before yesterday I heard that the Holy Spear Alliance lost its national weapon. Of course I didn't pay much attention to it. Then yesterday there was information that the person who took the national weapon was an Asian. This morning I heard that the man had been confirmed to be Chinese and had left the United States. At that time, I knew that something was not good. But it was too late to deal with it. Things changed too suddenly. The Paladin League urgently used a large-scale attack that the guild had stored for a long time. The teleportation opportunity sent the team to your side for such a battle. The purpose is nothing more than to get back the national equipment. Although the two of us have a good personal relationship, you are also a businessman. You know that if we want to maintain our friendship, we should not have too many conflicts of interest. Reason, so just on the issue of nationality. It is impossible for me to inform you of this raid first, can you understand this? "

"I can understand."

"As long as you understand. But I'm still curious. National weapons have always been carefully preserved. There's no reason why they would suddenly be lost. But to say that the Holy Lancers use this as an excuse to attack China is a bit too exaggerated. Moreover, according to me The intelligence shows that the stuff has really arrived in China. It’s just that we don’t know exactly how it got there.”

I nodded: "That's why you said there will be a second attack from the Holy Spear Alliance?"

"There will not only be a second time. There will also be a third and fourth time, unless the national weapons are returned to the United States. Or the United States is destroyed. Of course you know that the United States will not be destroyed, so the only solution is that thing return."

"Okay, I understand." I looked at Terry and said, "The person who took your national weapon, do you know his face?"

Terry shouted to the door: "Go get Carlo."

After a while, a tall, thin Caucasian man walked in. "What's up?"

"Didn't you take a picture of that guy's appearance?"

"Which guy?" The tall and lanky man had just finished speaking, but when he saw me sitting across from him, he suddenly realized: "Oh, you are talking about the Chinese who stole national weapons. Wait a minute." He turned around and ran out. , ran back after a while, with an extra crystal stone in his hand. "it's here."

I took the crystal and opened it and looked at it. Inside was a young man wearing a mage's robe. He looked relatively ordinary, with a round face, a little fat, and a very strong body. The picture was saved as a screenshot, so there were other people in the picture. It seemed that the Chinese player was planning to board the ship at that time. What's even more terrible is that there was a row of clear Chinese characters on the side of the ship - Qingdao, China.

My expression was slightly embarrassed. "Hey, I didn't expect that!"

Terry said: "You don't need to mind this. Those who can be incited by the name of a ship are ignorant civilians. People who have the power to threaten you will not be fooled by this."

I pointed at the people next to the mage. "These people seem to be protecting him. Are they together?"

"It seems so." The tall and thin man pointed at the crystal projection and explained to me: "The mage looking around him is called I Love China." At this point, he suddenly laughed evilly: "But But I found a very interesting news.”

"what news?"

"This I love China is a standard Japanese."

My expression also became weird. For a Japanese to have a name that makes people think of a Chinese so easily, even if you don’t know his specific purpose, you can still make a rough guess. "What about these people?"

The tall and lanky man immediately pointed to other difficulties and introduced them one by one: "This Chinese martial artist is called 'ancient martial arts expert', this sword warrior is called 'Hot-Blooded Good Man', and this female Taoist priest with Chinese characteristics is called 'Xuan' Heart', this archer is called 'Da Qin Archery God', and this thief is called 'Sparrow Li San'. Moreover, another explosive news about them is..." This guy paused deliberately before continuing: "They are all Japanese. People. Except for the mage holding our American national weapon who is a real Chinese, these guys are all Japanese."

"What is this mage's name?"

"Ambassador to the United States."

I smiled bitterly and shook my head.

A Chinese guy had a pro-American name. It probably has the same meaning as when Japanese people give them Chinese-type names. I looked at the Chinese mage in the middle and said to himself: "Are you a mantis or a chameleon?"

Terry asked me confused: "What did you say?"

"Oh...it's nothing! By the way, can I ask you a favor?"

"What do you want me to do?"

"Be an intermediary between me and the Holy Spear Alliance. Just say it was an accident. Or..."

Terry stretched out his hand to stop me from continuing: "I understand what you mean, but I can't do this."

"Why?"

"It's not that I don't help you, it's just that I don't have the ability. There are also factions in the United States. Although the Neptune Palace and the Holy Spear Alliance are not rival guilds, at least they are not within the friendly range, so I can only let you fight as a middleman. . But don’t worry, just because I can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t find someone to do it. And this matter is of great importance. You also know that there is only one month left in the national war, and national weapons can already make anyone crazy at this time. Is it too trivial for you to look for a third-party agent for such a major matter? You are hostile. It is indeed difficult to communicate, but I am only acting as a bridge-builder to help you find someone, and you have to negotiate it yourself."

"Of course I can talk to you, so take me to see the middleman first?"

"OK."

Following Terry, he teleported out of the Neptune Palace and directly arrived at a city called Rainbow City. It can be said that this city is quite unique, and almost immediately you can tell that this is a city dominated by women. Because whether it is the streets or the buildings, they all embody a dreamy feeling like a little girl, like a fairy tale world.

Terry saw my eyes wandering around and smiled and said to me, "Doesn't it feel weird?"

"It's quite strange, but I have to admit it's really beautiful."

Terry said doubtfully: "Beautiful? I think your Essinger is the most beautiful."

"You should visit the City of Commandments when you have time. That is the most beautiful city for me now. But this is according to your statement. Some people may think that the City of Commandments is more depressing."

"A new city? I want to go and see it when I have time." Terry said, "But can you guess who owns this city now?" After asking, Terry waited for me to say he didn't know with a smile on his face.

"You can probably guess it." My words were beyond Terry's expectation.

"Can you guess?"

I smiled and nodded: "Maybe it's Yusina's?"

Yusina is her real name, her name in the game should be Elsa. This Yusina is Princess Nagato of the North American Electrical Appliances Group. The last time major groups came to China for a meeting, she was among them. Her guild in the game is called Rainbow Alliance. When she arrived, Terry told me that the teleportation destination was called Rainbow City. Naturally, I think of the Rainbow Alliance. Terry now wants me to guess whose city this is, which means it must be someone I know, otherwise he wouldn't let me guess. I don’t know many people in the United States, and with the previous judgment, it is easy to tell that this is Yusina or Elsa’s city.

Terry was surprised at my accuracy. "Have you known this place before?" I shook my head, and then told my basis, and Terry nodded. "I have to admit that you Chinese people are amazing. Why can you combine some completely unrelated things?"

"Maybe it's cultural differences!" I said with a smile: "You brought me here, do you mean that your purpose is to let Yusina be the mediator?"

"Shh..." Terry motioned for me to keep my voice down. "It's best not to call Yusina by her real name here, and you'd better not call me by my real name. We are different from you. We have a high exposure rate in the United States, and many people know us. If we use our real name, we will easily be I recognized it, so it’s better to call the game name.”

I nodded. "Nate...Long Lan." He almost shouted again by mistake. "Is Elsa suitable to be a mediator?"

"Do you know what Rainbow Alliance's debut is?" Terry asked me instead of answering my question.

"I don't know." I shook my head.

"The Rainbow Alliance's industries include several giant lead mines, accounting for almost 90% of the country's output. Lead is a necessary raw material for making bullets. Do you understand what I mean?"

I nodded. If you don’t understand this anymore, wouldn’t you be a fool? What does the Holy Spear Alliance rely on to fight its wars? Musketeers, of course. Of course, muskets consume bullets, and lead is used to make bullets. But 90 percent of the lead in the United States comes from the Rainbow Alliance. Under such a joint relationship, the Holy Spear Alliance will not fall out with the Rainbow Alliance even if they fall out with anyone, otherwise they will be seeking death. A musketeer team without a supply of bullets is worse than a peasant army!

Under Terry's guidance, we quickly arrived at the headquarters of the Rainbow Alliance. This building is very unique. Its shape is like a rainbow spanning the center of the city. It looks quite beautiful, but I doubt whether such a building will collapse immediately during a war. It is obviously more beautiful than practical.

Terry obviously had the same opinion as me. He pointed at the building and said, "Look at what these are. The two supporting feet on both sides have to bear such a heavy weight. If a cannonball falls on one of the supporting feet, the building will be damaged." It will definitely fall. And this thing is lying across the sky in the center of the city. If it really falls, the buildings below will also suffer, and if something happens...!"

"It's not that rare." An angry female voice appeared behind us. "If you don't like it, don't like it! I didn't force you to like it. Every time I come here, I have to comment on other people's guild headquarters. Do you think your headquarters, which is built like an air-raid shelter, is good?"

"You...Elsa. Remember me?" I turned around and greeted Yusina.

"God...Purple Sun." Yusina almost shouted by mistake when she was so excited. "How could I forget you! Why are you free to come here today? I heard that you are very busy?"

"I'm very busy, but I didn't come here today to take a break. Now I'm here to find you busy!"

"Looking for me?" Yusina looked at us. Then he said: "Come with me, it's not very convenient here."

We were taken into her headquarters building by Yusina. The inside of the rainbow was no worse than the outside. The decorations were all like a flower shop. It was really scary! A circle of flowers was placed around the perimeter of the conference hall that was finally reached. There is a negotiation table in the center. I guess if someone lay down on the table and a circle of people stood outside, people who didn't know would think it was a memorial service!

"You have so many flowers here?" I can't talk about people's aesthetic issues when asking for help. Besides, aesthetics is a completely personal matter, and can only be divided into mainstream and partial. There is no absolute good or bad. You can’t care if people like this style.

Unexpectedly, Yusina smiled bitterly as soon as I finished speaking: "I knew you were going to talk about this flower. Okay, Long Lan, don't roll your eyes, I didn't set this up. A man known as the God of Flowers came to our guild recently. This girl has super strong fighting power, but it’s a pity that it’s really fatal. And if we don’t arrange the headquarters like this, she won’t join our guild, and there’s nothing I can do about it!”

"I'm telling you!" Terry said, "I don't know, I thought you had an overproduction of flowers here!"

"Okay, okay, stop talking about me. Tell me what you are here for?"

Terry pointed at me: "It's none of my business. He comes to you if he has something to do. I'm just leading the way."

Yusina's eyes turned to look at me, and I quickly explained the matter. Yusina didn't think much and agreed immediately. Anyway, she was just a matchmaker, and the Holy Spear Alliance wouldn't have any bad feelings towards him whether the deal was successful or not, and I would definitely owe a branch anyway, so she was guaranteed to make a profit.

Chinese people like to build relationships and find subordinates when doing things, but Americans don't have this habit. No matter which of the two methods is better, at least the American method is much faster. Within an hour, I was sitting face to face with the Gunslinger at the negotiation table, but Yusina, the middleman, was not there at all. She was really "responsible" as a middleman. She only introduced me and then ran away. It was obvious to the gun god that she did not support any party and was just an introducer.

"We meet again?" Gunslinger said, staring at me.

"Don't be so fussy, okay? Although I come here with sincerity, I think you also know that I don't need to plead with you. I just hope that you will give me some time and let me give you this national weapon. Get it back. If you agree, it can save a lot of manpower and material resources for both you and me, and our guild will also remember your favor."

"Favors are something you Chinese people don't value. We Americans don't value this. The benefits must be visible and tangible. If you can afford the price, everything will be easy to talk about."

I was quite annoyed with the Gunslinger's uncooperative attitude, and I became rude in my words. "My price is half of your strength, and you also know the shortcomings of your guild. If you don't want to lose everything, you have to give us time. The Holy Spear Alliance is not an ordinary small guild. You should also have the information I got? Why give it to others? How about being a gunman?"

"What information?" The gunman reacted greatly when he heard the word "gunman" from me. It didn't look like he was pretending. He probably really didn't receive the relevant information.

I took out the crystal I brought from the Neptune Palace and input a little magic power, and the projected photo immediately appeared in the sky. "Isn't this the guy called the Ambassador to the United States? Have you found him?"

I shook my head: "Is the flow based on the few people around this person?"

"Well, my people also took pictures of them boarding the ship. You Chinese people are really nimble in doing things. These few people actually took away our national weapons."

"This is the difference between my intelligence and yours." I said calmly: "I got reliable information from others. Among the people in the crystal image, except for the ambassador to the United States in the middle, he is the real Apart from the Chinese, the few people around are all Japanese. Although their names may make people think of Chinese, they are indeed Japanese.

As the most powerful gunman in the United States, he is not only strong in skills and weapons. It is absolutely impossible for someone with poor intelligence to become the best master. After I said so much, he immediately guessed the general outline of the matter. "So it's true that I fell into a trap." The Gunslinger did not hesitate. Being cautious and vigorous is the quality of a master. He quickly said to me: "It seems you are right, we will give you two more days." Time, after that it’s our business.”

"Okay, the Frost Rose Alliance will remember your favor." I stood up and extended my hand to the Gunslinger. He shook my hand generously and then turned around and left. Several Paladin League players sent me to the teleportation array. After watching me leave, he turned back to resume his life.

First teleport to the starting point city, and then use the transnational teleportation array to jump back to Essinger. Feng Yin Piaomiao and Yan Yu are already waiting here. After seeing me, Feng Yin Piaomiao immediately pounced on me. "Did you find anything? Why didn't the United States respond? Why did such a fight happen?"

I told all the information I heard from Terry. Feng Yin Piaomiao and Yan Yu were both dumbfounded.

"You, you, you...you mean that the American national treasure has arrived in China and is in my city?" Feng Yin Piaomiao had the biggest reaction and almost jumped up from the bench.

"Calm down... calm down first!" I pushed Feng Yin Piaomiao back to her seat. "Actually, the bigger secret is not that American artifacts have arrived in China. After all, things are here, and the system restricts national artifacts from being taken offline, destroyed, or placed in special warehouses. We can definitely snatch them back and send them back to the United States. The key question remains. Regarding the people around the ambassador to the United States, these Japanese are pretending to be Chinese and following the ambassador to the United States at this time. They obviously want to cause conflict between us and the Americans so that they can reap the benefits. Even the ambassador to the United States himself may be pro-Japanese. Element, maybe he is not out of patriotism, but for other reasons."

"You can't jump to conclusions before this is certain." Feng Yin said mistlessly: "But at least one thing is certain - the two-day commitment Ziri got is too short, and we must find a way to find the ambassador to the United States as soon as possible to get the national artifact back. .”

Hongyue said to Feng Yinpiaomiao: "Brother, are you issuing a city-wide search warrant? We can't control the city's declining reputation. Is it better than fighting the Americans and letting the Japanese take advantage?"
