Chapter 2015 Talking about leisure
Outside the window, there is a bright sky, neat and beautiful streets, small but clean buildings, dotted with vegetation and flower beds, all the plans are perfect, without any clutter. , which is pleasing to the eye.
There are a little too many household furnishings in the living room inside the window. The living room is neither big nor small. This is just a relatively private side room. A wooden display cabinet decorated with various accessories is placed across the center of the living room, dividing the small living room into two parts.
In the back half of the living room, two white leather couches are placed opposite each other, with a long glass tea table slightly higher than the sofa placed in the center. Sitting on the sofa on the left is a man with short white hair, slicked back, wearing casual clothes, and bronze skin, with his legs crossed, holding a steaming cup of tea, tasting the black tea in the cup.
On the sofa on the right side, there is a man with black shoulder-length curly hair and a white-haired man sitting opposite him. He is wearing a purple and black robe. His sitting posture is more casual, with his back leaning back and a table in front of him. He was sipping a cup of black tea but did not move. A pair of black eyes fell on the person opposite.
"The tea is very good. I haven't had your tea for a long time." The white-haired man put down the teacup, picked up a biscuit from the box on the tea table and tasted it, and leaned his back against the sofa.
The black-haired man said: "Mr. Christine, are you satisfied with the new-year dinner arranged some time ago?"
The white-haired man raised his eyes, revealing his red eyes, and said : "Why should the West Consul be so polite? This is not the first time he has come to Guizhou. Territory. I am very satisfied with your arrangements."
These two are none other than Bodeous Temeher, the Western Consul of the Desman Republic and one of the five major families of the Demon Moon Empire. , Kristen Bemoyer's father, Kristen Calvin.
"Ha." Temochre said: "Calvin, the last time I left as an ambassador was several years ago. This time I have taken up my new post as the plenipotentiary ambassador of the Demon Moon to our country. Well, although it is a bit Chi, it’s still a natural promotion.”
Calvin said: "The year I left, something went wrong with the southern army. I was transferred from the country to the southern army for two years, and then transferred to the northern garrison, where I stayed until the end of last year. In the final analysis, it was still a struggle for power, but I It doesn’t matter, I am serving as the plenipotentiary ambassador this time, and I hope to get a lot of help from the Western Consul during my tenure."
Temoher’s tone was light and gentle, with a bit of laziness. After all, this was not an official official meeting, just a private meeting between the two.
Calvin praised: "This time when the Holy Garden united all the countries to fight against the catastrophe, your students were in the limelight. Such outstanding students are very enviable."
"Ah, you said Chopra, she is indeed the most satisfactory one among my many lives." Temehel said with a smile: "Because Because Inis has blond hair, many colleagues mistakenly thought she was my daughter. Oh, but unfortunately not, I really hope she is my daughter."
Calvin looked around and said. Speaking of your wife, I don’t seem to see Ms. Floyd. Isn’t she at home? I want to say hello to her.”
"She is busy with official duties for me, and I will convey my greetings to you."
Calvin continued: "So, the Dikshit Chopra in his twenties is really already a A great magician of the light system?”
“Yes.” Temohel said with a bitter smile: “On the contrary, my teacher has not made any progress for many years. There is no breakthrough in history, 53 years old He is still in the wizard stage."
Calvin said: "Oh! The Archon is actually five years older than me. Hehe, he is indeed 53 years old. Inri, I always thought you were younger than me.”
One of these two people is 48 years old, and the other is 53 years old. However, Calvin looks about the same age, but Temocher looks like he is 40 years old. To, 37, 8 people.
Temochre said: "Every day I am either reviewing documents in the office or doing magic experiments in the laboratory. I don't have to be exposed to the weather like you. Of course, I don't look as energetic as Calvin. It is for these reasons that I am squeezed out a little bit. There is no time for self-improvement, and there has been no breakthrough in the field."
Calvin listened to his complaint and said slowly: "I can. I don’t think your strength has improved, Archon. Even if there is no breakthrough in strength, it will still be easy to defeat your own students.”
“It’s not as easy as you said. By the way, you have to taste Inis. Pickled plums, they taste pretty good." Temocher said lightly, walked to a cupboard in a cool corner, and took out a jar of pickled plums.
Calvin smiled again and said: "Pardeus, why do you have to be humble? You are not a person who likes to be modest. When the empire was reorganized, there was also Sivir who competed with you for the position of Western Consul. Madam, she is a Magic Dancer of Light, and her reputation and status in the Republic at that time are higher than yours. High. But in the end, you got the position of West Consul, and she disappeared."
"The competition for the position is often unexpected, and those in the Senate do not necessarily judge it based on reputation and strength. What else do you want to say?" Temocher said as he put the plums into a white porcelain plate. His eyes were in trance, thinking about the other person's intention when he suddenly said this.
Calvin said: "That Sivir, she should be killed by you."
Temohel's eyes turned cold, and he glanced sideways at Calvin on the sofa, staring for a long time. Calvin also looked at each other.
Suddenly, Themehel laughed: "Calvin, Calvin, if you say such words, I will definitely offend other people." He brought the plums and put them on the table Go up and sit down on the sofa again.
Calvin smiled slightly and said: "I think the relationship between us is not so bad."
"Why do you think so?"
Calvin said: "Whether it is the imperial period or the republican era, I have been serving as a minister in your country. Does it surprise you to find out some information?" He took a sip of the hot black tea and said after a while: "Sivir has a close personal relationship with a bandit named Kemal Shaheen, and this bandit committed serious crimes in our country during the imperial period, so no matter what, as long as the senator If the court knows about this, they will not agree to her taking the position of West Consul."
"But this does not explain why she disappeared."
Temoher's sight. Looking at the other person's blood-like eyes, he was silent for a few seconds, and said word by word: "I killed her."
"Oh, this is what you look like, Bodeas Temoch. ”
Temochre said with no expression on his face: "Are you changing your career to solve crimes?"
"I'm not interested, I just want to hear the truth from you." Calvin thought about it for a moment and said: "Kay Mar Shaheen, I have never heard of this name."
Temohel said: "His nickname. You may have heard of it, Lord Storm."
"He was a famous figure a long time ago."
Temocher said again: "Tell me something you may not know. Something happened. Recently, there was news of the death of Bodo Kasije, who was once a subordinate of this man.”
"This is indeed the first time I understand."
The two drank tea and ate biscuits and plums. Calvin wiped his hands and said: "Enough gossip, let's get down to business." "You don't want to discuss official business with me here, do you? It's rare for me to take a day off only to receive you."
Calvin said: "It's about the engagement between my concubine and my son."
"Oh~! You told me about it at the banquet."
Calvin said: "So what is your intention?"
Temohel sighed: "Is it better than Moye? Is this good? After all, the person who made an engagement with Aphro last time was your elder. Son Otis, won’t there be any problem with this?”
“As long as Aphro is fine, there will be no problem.”
Temohel said: “The marriage. I always like things Cheng, what I am worried about is the criticism in your country. The king of your country was not very happy with the marriage contract last time. Bimoye is now your only son. The noble family head can withstand the discussion of the ministers and the pressure of the king. "
Calvin curled his lips and smiled: "Humph, I'm afraid our Majesty doesn't have the heart to care about these things now."
"Oh!"
"Otherwise, why do you think the country hurriedly sent me here? Just to stabilize the relationship between your two countries."
"That said, he must be here now I would very much like our two families to get married.”
Calvin said: "It depends on the attitude of Floyd and Avna."
Themehel said solemnly: "There is no problem with the engagement. I agree. My wife and You don’t have to worry about your daughter’s attitude.”
"I see. Then this matter has been settled verbally. After you discuss it with your wife and daughter, we will set a specific date."
The two shook hands and made an agreement. Temochre was very curious and asked: "Although I am one of the consuls of Disman, I am not from a noble family. In terms of distinguished life and family status, the Christian family is much more noble. But the two The second engagement was initiated by you, Calvin, which gave me I'm a little confused. It seems like you shouldn't be the one taking the initiative."
Calvin said: "You are not a person who likes to depreciate yourself. I am surprised to say something like this."
"It's just the truth, it's not self-deprecating." Temehel hummed softly: "I never think that I am inferior to you. Even in my eyes, most of the noble families are funny and ridiculous."
Calvin said: "The more prominent the family status in a country, the more important it is." It is easy to be jealous of the monarch, not to mention that my family has always In this case, the easiest way is to marry to make the monarch afraid. There are many reasons why I insist on marrying you, the Western Consul, but the most important one is that I think you will sooner or later. We can go further.”
"Really? You actually think so." Temocher said: "Such taboo words come from the mouth of a plenipotentiary ambassador. Our great consul will not only be unhappy if he finds out, but will also think that you want to murder him. He’s not that old.”
Calvin laughed: "Just a joke."
"It's not a funny joke."
"But I have admired the Archon for a long time."
“Oh?”
Calvin said: "With your performance when you were young and your ability to climb to this point, isn't it worth admiring?"
"When I was young, that was a long time ago."
Calvin said: "The most famous experience of your youth. By St. Commander-in-Chief Sahoor Dawson, the battle to annihilate the demon clan and the Illuminati. Thinking about the personnel sent by various countries at that time, who could participate in such an important event at the age of only 21? Receiving such an honor must have been the result of careful consideration by your country at the time. ”
Temeher said: "I was not the only one sent by the empire to participate in this war, and I was not the most prominent among them."
"But you are the youngest "The youngest of all countries." Calvin sighed: "At that time, I was still young. I am a student at the Royal Academy. When I saw the news in the newspaper, I could only feel infinite envy. Just based on this resume, I knew that you, Mr. Perdius Thermoher, would be a great person in the future. A very important person, and the facts prove my judgment.”
Speaking of things that happened a long time ago and when he was young, Themehel couldn't help but reminisce about it. Even though he was a person who rarely showed his true emotions, he still smiled in retrospect: "Speaking of it, really It was a long time ago. Everyone who participated in that operation became famous."
"Do you still have contact with those people?"
"Yes, sir. The last person I have met was Maya two years ago on official business."
"He." Calvin nodded and said, "The current GITW The supreme leader, I know him and have met his wife."
"He was the one who actually commanded that war, but he was divorced."
"I've never heard of this."
Temohel said: "They were divorced a few years ago. I can't remember the specific year."
Calvin leaned on Sofa recalled: "I have the impression that his wife is quite beautiful, her name is Stephanie Lillis. This woman also has a nickname of her own, called... What is her name? Cora..."
