Chapter 640 (1/2)
”It...” the expression on Sherlock's face was indescribable.
The shock and fear, the distortion of the whole face, have exceeded the limit of a normal person.
It's like a young man who is in love for the first time suddenly sees his lover turn into a twisted caterpillar, smeared with rouge and lipstick, and sends out sweet and tender ”dear” from his big red mouth.
Joe shivered.
He looked intently at Sherlock, ready to listen carefully to his next amazing statement.
”Al, it's the owner.”
”Owner?” Joe looked at Sherlock and repeated the word.
”Yes, master.” Sherlock held out his hand to Joe. Needless to say, Joe stuffed a big cigar between his fingers, and put a wine cup and a wine bottle on the bedside table. Besides, there was a huge crystal ashtray.
Sherlock's fingers shook, and a little spark came out of his fingertips and lit his cigar.
After a pleasant breath of the clouds, the abnormal blush on Sherlock's face gradually dissipated, and his body and mind were rapidly returning to normal.
”Ah, I feel much better.” Sherlock shook her pale arm: ”if not, the newly grown limbs are still a little weak. Well, where do we start? ”
Sherlock pointed to Joe with a burning cigar end: ”remember the assassination you got when you went to the Royal Bank of the ice sea Kingdom, Hydra branch, to take that box for the list given by Florence?”
Joe's pupils shrunk and nodded.
It was a wonderful assassination. If it wasn't for Joe's strength far beyond his rank, he would be killed in the street.
”It was a swordsman who started it.” Sherlock said in a deep voice, ”I was in the building when you were assassinated. I saw the whole process. I wanted to help, but you solved all the problems yourself
”I'm very surprised that a sword bearer appears by such a coincidence... So, as a member of Al at the same level as him, I mobilize my strength, including some spies and secret agents of the ice sea kingdom in Heidelberg, some of Al's strength, and... Some of my relationships over the years.”
”Well, I have to say you're in a lot of trouble.”
Sherlock puffed out a cigarette ring. He said in a deep voice, ”I can't tell you the whole truth, because I just happened to break part of the inside story.”
”That's all I can tell you.”
”First of all, Florence you captured is a stand in... The list of members he gave and the list of subordinates he developed within the Durham empire are just the targets of his intentional cleansing.”
”Florence has occupied Heidelberg for too many years. Some of the members led by him, some of the peripheral members developed with him as the center, have... Deteriorated. So far, Florence can't completely control them. ”
”It's like Lord willon of whispering Forest Club. He is a peripheral member. His duty is to help Florence collect and sell stolen goods, and turn some invisible money into reasonable and legal income.”
”As far as I know from this investigation, justice willon has at least coveted hundreds of millions of gold marks in Florence in the last 30 years... He has been included in the cleaning list of Florence for a long time, but this time he has cut them with your knife.”
Joe's face is black.
No matter who is regarded as a pure tool, the mood is not so good, right?
”Second, to start with the dren Empire, let al directly control a powerful empire, and then arm it with Al's knowledge and resources to become the minions under their direct control... This is the plan of a small group of Kings headed by Florence.”
”Of course, behind them, there is a stronger, more senior, more ageless presence.”
”So, as soon as their plan was launched, even without any effect, you caught Florence's stand in, tortured him, got the list, and cleaned up all the Al members and peripheral members on the list.”
”It angered a lot of people.”
”Al, at least the one we can contact now, has already gone bad. Those high-ranking waiters, archbishops and bishops seem to be the separatist vassals in the mainland. They have a huge power in their hands. ”
”Joe, you can understand that knowledge can bring wealth, and in medland... Wealth can bring everything.”Joe remembered that he had used two ordinary new prescriptions in port Toulon in exchange for a huge fortune. Think about big Ivan and his soldiers, they are because of their high salary and gathered in their own side.
Sherlock's words are not entirely right. Money may not bring everything, but money can bring huge power. There is no doubt about it... Not to mention Al, an organization that has been hiding in the deep water of medland for many years, developed for many years, and mastered too many secrets and unknown mysterious knowledge.
”So, the stand in in Florence was arrested by you, and after a king nicknamed the grand tower fell in Heidelberg, Al's internal stress mechanism started.”
”Originally, it was just a small group of people behind the king, Florence and the magnificent tower. The bishops and archbishops behind them were alarmed, and they sent their own minions one after another... But then they were alarmed by some waiters with higher status and more resources.”
Sherlock looked at Joe deeply: ”how do you say these waiters, Archbishop?”
