Chapter 425 - Communications Soldier
Chapter 425: Communications Soldier
“What’s the matter?” Kronin asked first.
Lei luo didn’t answer him. He just stood a meter away from Kronin and observed the old man.
When he was looking at the portrait, Lei Luo had always felt that there was a magical power in the old man’s body.
But now, when they stood face to face, he couldn’t help but wonder where the magical power in the old man’s body came from.
Kronin was a little surprised at first. He looked at the silent communications soldier who stood straight at his door in the early morning.
However, after a moment, Kronin smiled and said, “You’re not a communications soldier.”
“Yes, I’m not a communications soldier. However, I did come to bring you some information. I believe that the information I will bring to you will be more than what you want to know from a communications soldier.”
Unknowingly, Lei Luo had used honorifics on Kronin.
“I have always heard that the ghost shadow military advisor, Sir Lei Luo, is young and promising. His wisdom and bravery are unparalleled. Seeing you today, you really live up to your reputation.”
Kronin looked at Lei Luo for a while and suddenly threw out such a sentence that shocked Lei Luo. However, his face did not reveal a trace of emotion. He only smiled and said, “Mr. Bai is only half right. I did come here on the order of Sir Lei Luo, but I’m not Sir Lei Luo.”
“Sent here?” Kronin raised his head and smiled faintly. “The matter here is so important. Can Sir Lei Luo trust anyone?”
Lei Luo was shocked again, but he just stood there. For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond. It didn’t feel good to be exposed twice.
When Kronin saw him like this, he smiled again and said, “Sir Lei Luo, you are quite calm. Aren’t you afraid that I will expose you?”
Lei Luo restrained his smile and replied calmly, “Since I was able to sneak in, I naturally thought of a way to escape unscathed.”
“The Ghost Shadow Military Advisor really lives up to his reputation. Just his composure alone is very impressive.”
When Kronin said this, he moved aside, giving Lei Luo a space to enter the room.
Seeing this, Lei Luo did not doubt him and walked in with his head held high.
When he entered the room, the tables, chairs, and benches were all made of wood. The best part was that there was actually a wooden bookcase. There was actually a mountain of books on the bookcase.
There was a charcoal stove next to the coffee table. There was a wine pot hanging on the stove. After the warm wine was roasted by the charcoal fire, a portion of it turned into a fragrant steam that flowed in all directions in the air.
Lei Luo was surprised as he was looking at the furnishings in the room. Kronin then asked, “Sir Lei Luo, would you like some wine or tea?”
“Old Mister Bai, please don’t treat me as an outsider. Just call me Lei Luo. Just give me a cup of tea. I just had a big drink a few days ago. I really can’t drink wine.”
Hearing Lei Luo’s answer, Kronin poured two cups of tea and the two of them sat opposite each other at the coffee table.
As soon as he sat down, Lei Luo said, “I wonder how you saw through my identity at a glance.”
“There’s nothing difficult about that, right?” Kronin first smiled and then explained. “Your gaze is too focused, sharp, and penetrating. If the military even had a communication soldier of this standard, then the Phoenix Alliance wouldn’t be like today, and would have long unified the world.”
“Even if you’re sure that I’m not from the military, how can you know it’s me at a glance?”
“If we’re just talking about talent, the Anglo-immortal economic cooperation’s Saxton is above the Phoenix Alliance’s Philip. Otherwise, the Anglo-immortal economic cooperation’s strength wouldn’t have been superior to the Phoenix Alliance’s. But Saxton’s biggest weakness was his arrogance. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had always looked down on Rowley, how could Rowley have been pulled over by Saxton? One must know that the Phoenix Alliance at that time was already on the verge of collapse.”
As Kronin said this, he raised his head and looked at Lei Luo.
“Think about it. Saxton doesn’t even look down on a lord who controls the most important base. How could he possibly be willing to spend time with me? The only people who want to make a move on the Great Wall of Iron Blood and think that they have the ability to do so are the old troops of East God, who have suddenly appeared on the comet recently. Everyone, including me, who is concerned about the situation in the third province, is paying close attention to such a force that has suddenly sprung up. And everyone knows that the person supporting this force is not Princess Allie, but the person who is hiding behind her and known as Military Advisor Ghost Shadow. Based on your actions in the Holy City of Beauty, everyone knows that you don’t want to stay there for long. With the combination of the two, it makes sense that you want to do something to the Great Wall of Iron Blood. With the strength you have now, if you want to take down the Great Wall of Iron Blood, the key is that there must be trouble inside the wall. Therefore, whether there’s trouble inside the wall is the key to your success or failure. Take a look at your path of rise over the past nine months. The most crucial part is that you’ve almost done everything yourself and never put your hands on others. From this, it can be seen that you’re not only very confident, but you’re also so confident that you don’t trust anyone. Therefore, you had to come personally today.”
Although there was still no change in Lei Luo’s expression after Kronin’s explanation, the shock in his heart could not be described with words.
After a moment of silence, Lei Luo asked, “Why do I want to take down the Great Wall of Iron Blood? Although this place has a strong defense and sufficient energy supply, its economy is backward. For the two alliances, it may be an important place, but for us, it’s just a hot potato.”
“It’s naturally a hot potato in our hands, but if we throw it out, we can sell it for a good price.”
Lei Luo’s body was gradually stiffening. He struggled to pick up the teacup and took a sip. After a while, he slowly asked, “What price do you think I will sell it for?”
“In my opinion, the Cape of Good Hope is not bad.”
Ding! The teacup in Lei Luo’s hand fell to the ground, and the tea spilled all over the ground.
Kronin stood up as if nothing had happened. “I’ll pour you another cup.”
Kronin poured another cup of tea and placed it in front of Lei Luo, then said these two words indifferently. “Arrogant.”
Lei Luo reached out and held the teacup in his hand. His eyes looked at Kronin, but he did not dare to speak.
“No matter how modest a native is, in front of a magic conductor, he will always carry this kind of emotion in his bones, and you are no exception.”
Kronin drank his tea as he slowly continued to speak.
“You are just a magic conductor who will not live to be a hundred years old. Even if you have some influence with a magic conductor, how strong can you be? In the depths of your heart, you will always be unable to resist muttering to yourself like this.”
