Greece brings evildoers - Chapter 505
At dusk, Lorne said goodbye to Shikoti, Skadi, and Jörmungandr, and returned to the residence provided by the Chamber of Commerce for the team.
As soon as he entered the door, a canine creature with brown hair and red eyes rushed out of the house like a gust of wind, sniffed at him, and then looked at him with contempt:
“You smell like a woman, where have you been fooling around?”
“I just met some acquaintances on the road, do you want to ask about this, Mr. President?”
“Forget it, I won’t ask, you won’t tell me even if I ask.”
Holo waved his hand in a bored manner, raised half of his buttocks and sat on the dining table, picked up an apple from the fruit plate and put it into his mouth to chew.
Lorne looked at Holo’s dusty bare feet, her light pajamas and the shoulder straps that were about to fall off her shoulders, and couldn’t help but frown:
“You are the [President] of the Chamber of Commerce, a wise wolf in charge of [Abundance] and [Trade], you should pay attention to your image.”
Holo rolled her eyes at Lorne and continued to do her own thing:
“We won’t ask you what you are doing, and you don’t care about us.”
After eating an apple, Holo seemed unsatisfied. She picked up the fruit plate and jumped up and down on the table and chair in the bedroom while tasting the snacks. She even jumped onto Lorne’s bed several times, leaving a dirty footprint.
Lorne’s veins jumped, his blood pressure went off the charts, and his hands itched unbearably.
If he stayed any longer, he might really have to punish this wolf mother, or just press her on the bed and whip her a hundred times.
“It seems that the president likes this place very much, so I won’t bother you anymore.”
Lorne found a reason and turned away.
Looking at Lorne’s departing back and the fists unconsciously clenched in her sleeves, Holo finished the last bite of the apple, with a playful smile in her eyes.
~~
After many twists and turns, they arrived at a remote courtyard.
Lorne wanted to relax in this quiet environment, but someone got there first.
“Miss Belle? You’re here too?”
Belladondi closed the manuscript in her hand and looked up at Lorne in front of the door.
“Lord Lorne, what a coincidence?”
“Don’t call me Lord, we’ll be companions in the future, so it’s better to save these courtesies.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Belladondi smiled and nodded, then raised her hand to invite Lorne to sit down in the pavilion, and asked casually,
“How is it? Do you have any clues about the investigation of [Dragon Disaster] recently?”
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Her purpose this time was to prevent the man in front of her from finding out the truth and regain her freedom.
Because he bumped into his third sister Shikoti yesterday, the tracking was invalid. She had no idea how far Lorne had pushed the matter forward, so she could only ask in person to fill in the blanks in the information.
Lorne took a sip of the flower tea in the cup and pondered:
“As far as I know, [Dragon Disaster] and [Dragon Disease] are likely to be related to the initial mining of the gold mine, so I want to find the identity of the person in charge of the gold mine and the first batch of miners to verify some of my speculations.”
“Have you found it?”
“Not yet, I encountered some trivial matters during the day and accidentally delayed it.”
Lorne was a little helpless.
Seeing the expression on the opposite side, Belldandy said inexplicably:
“How about I accompany you tomorrow? I have been to Turin City several times and am familiar with the environment here. And I want to borrow some more confidential files, and I also need the authority of the Chamber of Commerce.”
“Okay, let’s go together tomorrow morning!”
Lorne immediately decided on tomorrow’s itinerary, and even in his joy, he couldn’t help but hold Belldandy’s hand.
Skin to skin, the indescribable electric shock was transmitted from the contact surface to each other, activating deeper emotions; eyes met, the two people’s sight became blurred and hot, and the air inexplicably heated up.
“Cough…”
A low cough came from outside the door. Rose, who switched to the form of the evil god, leaned against the door frame, looking at the two people shaking hands in the courtyard with a smile.
With the disruption of the light bulb, the ambiguous atmosphere around was swept away. Belldandy was the first to react. She quickly pulled her wrist back from Loen’s hand, stood up awkwardly, and said:
“You guys chat first. There are still two days before departure. I have to prepare some magic potions in advance.”
Watching Belldandy’s back gradually disappear in the night, Rose turned her head and teased:
“So you like this tune? Drag a decent woman into the water?”
“Crack!”
As soon as the words were finished, a crisp fracture sound came from her right hand, and a strong pain also surged into her mind.
Rose covered her wrist that was drooping like noodles and looked forward in fear.
Under the pavilion, Lorne calmly drank tea and asked casually:
“So, you came here just to say this?”
Rose endured the severe pain and shook her head quickly.
Although this new boss was gentle and almost never punished his subordinates without reason.
But this did not mean that she could cross the line without a bottom line.
Her mind was a little clearer in the pain. Rose did not dare to say more nonsense and directly stated her purpose:
“Today, when Galadriel, Ciri and I went out to buy supplies, we met the three kings of the elves again, and we almost had a fight with them because of a quarrel.”
“The light elves are really getting worse and worse.”
Lorne shook his head, and his impression of those light elves was lowered a little.
The civilization of immortal species often has several shortcomings that are prone to occur, such as rigidity of class, lack of ambition, and high self-esteem…
Coincidentally, the light elves seemed to have taken over all of them.
Since the dark elves were expelled underground, the light elves, which lost their competitors, became the dominant family in the elven country.
But this not only failed to lead them to more glorious prosperity, but also formed internal divisions, and their strength became worse with each generation due to constant internal friction.
In the past, the elves were known as the species that “recently received the gods”, and a few could even compete with the Asa and the Vanir.
But now, they are reduced to having to sit at the same table with dwarves.
Coupled with the extremely low reproductive desire and motivation of the elves, the population of the tribe is decreasing year by year.
If we don’t reform the old and establish the new, the decline of the elves is almost certain.
——So, Galadriel?
I hope she can take over this responsibility.
Lorne sighed secretly and then asked:
“How are you guys doing? Is anyone hurt?”
“No. Elf King Frey arrived later. He persuaded the three Elf Kings and took the initiative to apologize to us.”
“Is he so kind?”
“Of course not.” Rose sneered, “He just took this opportunity to show his courtesy to us.”
When Luo En heard this, he understood.
In the original Nordic mythology, Frey was a love-minded and passionate person.
In order to marry Gede, the daughter of the mountain giants Gamil and Opoda, he not only gave a large number of valuable gifts, but also gave the Warner family’s treasure [Sword of Victory] to the giant. As a result, in the Twilight of the Gods, Frey, who lost his weapon, could only fight bravely with his antlers and the fire giant Shirtur, and finally died in the battle.
And with the appearance of Rose, Galadriel and Ciri, as well as the elven blood on their bodies, it is not surprising that Frey came to show their courtesy.
Lorne put down his cup and asked casually:
“What do you think?”
“Of course, let him stay wherever he goes! If he really cared about us, he should have stood up for us at the venue. Now he is pretending to come together to smooth things over, but he just takes a fancy to our beauty. I’m afraid in his heart , as noble as he took the initiative to bow his head and say peace, it is already a great gift. “
Luo answered without any politeness, then turned his gaze to Lorne, shook his hand bones that were not fully grown, and showed a flattering smile on his face.
“Of course, you are different! Only a boss as despicable and decisive as you is worth following.”
“If you praise me like that again, I can’t help but want to beat you to death.”
Lorne interrupted Rose’s unique compliment with a wave of his hand and added in a deep voice,
“Now that you have bought all the supplies you need to purchase, don’t go out for the next two days and practice teamwork.”
Rose nodded respectfully, and then before leaving the house, she reminded her in a deep voice:
“Galandriel’s attitude towards Frey seems a bit strange.”
“oh?”
Seeing her boss raise her eyebrows, Rose quickly added:
“He’s very scared. He seems to be hiding from the other side for some reason.”
“I thought you would take the opportunity to sue Galadriel.”
Lorne couldn’t help but be a little surprised when he heard Rose’s explanation.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Rose replied angrily: “You are so wise, how dare I do that. Besides, she just helped me before. No matter how despicable I am, I wouldn’t stab the little girl in the back who just helped me, right?”
Lorne smiled, noncommittally, and waved Rose back to rest.
As the graceful figure gradually disappeared into the night, Lorne raised his hand and rubbed his chin, muttering to himself.
Galadriel is afraid of Frey?
Could it be that the reason why she fled from the elves was related to Frey?
While Lorne was deep in thought, Rose in the shadows suddenly felt her heart pounding as she thought of her boss’s ambiguous attitude and his last silent performance.
Could it be that he misunderstood something?
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have said anything.
Rose was filled with regret and began to worry about Galadriel’s situation.
Even if the lord was magnanimous and just broke the illusion and expelled Galadriel from the team, the consequences would definitely be enough for the elf princess to drink from her.
Not to mention, she abandoned her family for no reason, and now she is hanging out with the dark elves and fighting with the three elven kings… If the leaders of the light elves caught this, she would be drowned in spit.
no!
Never allow this to happen! I’m still waiting for her to ascend the throne of elves and guide those white-skinned and long-eared people to fall from the inside!
Rose thought for a long time, raised her hand and took out a small pink medicine bottle from the magic array, her eyes full of reluctance and regret.
This thing was originally reserved for herself.
So that we can capture that guy and seek greater benefits; or we can serve him well and let him help solve the hidden danger of “Eilistraee”.
Unexpectedly, before I could use it, I would give it to Galadriel for a taste.
Moreover, this is a light elf who is a mortal enemy of the dark elf.
It’s easier on you!
Rose muttered to herself and started walking towards the kitchen.
~~
As the night grew darker, Lorne returned to the bedroom.
At this time, the furnishings and bedding that had been messed up by Holo had been replaced by the maid, and there was even a faint aroma of apples and wheat ears in the air.
Lorne shook his head. As soon as he sat at the table and flipped through a few pages of the book, there was a knock on the door.
“Galadriel, why are you here?”
Looking at the figure standing at the door, Lorne was a little surprised.
“It’s so late, and since you haven’t rested yet, I wanted to come and bring you something to eat.”
Galadriel answered softly, then walked into the bedroom gracefully, opened the food box, and placed the snacks and mushroom soup on the table.
Seeing Galadriel hesitate to speak several times, Lorne smiled and extended the invitation:
“There is too much food and I can’t finish it. Let’s sit down and eat together? If you have anything to say, let’s chat while we eat.”
Galadriel nodded in agreement, and after eating a few snacks and a mouthful of hot soup, her nervousness eased a lot, and she took the initiative to speak:
“I want to leave the team for a while.”
“Because of the three elven kings and Frey?”
“How do you know?!”
Galadriel looked surprised. She had originally planned to leave the team and go out to avoid the limelight, lest her own troubles involve these friends.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was exposed.
Lorne didn’t take this seriously and responded casually while drinking soup:
“Rose told me everything.”
“That big mouth, you promised to keep it a secret for me!”
“You’ve almost written it on your face, and you still want her to keep it a secret?”
Lorne chuckled, shook his head, and asked in a deep voice,
“Tell me, what’s going on between you and Frey?”
“This matter has nothing to do with you. If I know too much, it will be easy to implicate you.”
“You made a pact with me before, didn’t you just want to use me as a shield? Why did you back down when things came to a head?”
Galadriel, whose thoughts were exposed, could not help but look embarrassed and replied in a low voice:
“It’s not that I’m retreating, it’s just that I don’t want to.”
“Why?”
“Because we are friends.”
Galadriel looked directly into Lorne’s eyes, sincerely and sincerely.
Although there was not much trust in their cooperation at the beginning, and they still wanted to take advantage of each other, as time went by, Galadriel gradually regarded Lorne and the team under his command as their own. Spiritual support.
Lorne pursed his lips and smiled, and said seriously:
“Just because we are friends, you should be honest. Working together to tide over the difficulties is the meaning of friends’ existence. Tell us, and we might be able to help.”
As if persuaded by Lorne’s sincerity, Galadriel bit her lips and finally spoke slowly.
“Actually, Frey and I…”
However, just as she was speaking, Galadriel’s hand shook violently, and the soup bowl fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
She stood up unsteadily, but the blood in her body also accelerated at this moment, as if a raging fire was burning in her flesh, flesh, and organs.
Hot, so hot!
Galadriel’s hands groped upwards, tearing at the buttons of her clothes involuntarily, trying to cool down the sudden fire inside her body.
After finally getting some shade from the outside world, a figure walked up quickly and held her hand with concern:
“What’s wrong with you? Does it matter?”
With the heat transmitted from the palm of her hand, the string called “reason” in Galadriel’s head was almost melted, and her limbs were tightly wrapped around Lorne’s body like an octopus.
Lorne was confused and was about to push Galadriel away. Unexpectedly, the temperature in his body also rose sharply, and the long-suppressed desire was instantly ignited, forming a prairie fire in the blink of an eye.
“There’s something wrong with the meal!”
Through commonalities, Lorne quickly identified the culprit that caused all this, and peeled off Galadriel a few centimeters from his body:
“Please wake up, someone drugged us!”
“I’m sober now, sober as hell!”
Galadriel replied with sonorous words, the fire in her eyes did not completely burn through her reason.
“Don’t you want to know the relationship between Frey and me? Strictly speaking, he is my fiancé. The light elves created me with the blood of the three royal families. They hope to marry Frey and me and give birth to a child with divine blood. His descendants lead the whole clan to transcend the shackles of the elves and move towards the palace of the gods.
But I don’t like it! I don’t like Frey! I don’t like people who want to dominate me! Don’t like it at all!
If I had to choose, I would rather find the answer myself! “
As she spoke, Galadriel moved her hands up and cupped the beautiful cheek in front of her. The passion and attachment in her eyes could no longer be suppressed, and she kissed her heavily.
The kiss was extremely clumsy and jerky, but it was also full of youthfulness.
A piece of youthful fruit was brought to his mouth of his own accord, and the medicinal power in his body kept churning. Lorne finally couldn’t control it anymore, opened the gate of reason, and allowed himself to be ignited by the burning desire in his body.
