Warhammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 127 Bartender

With tears in the bartender's old eyes, he said emotionally, "Where have you been these years? Oh, my God, you don't know how much I miss you. Let me take a good look at you," said. The 'bathender' took Elizabeth's shoulder in both hands and pushed her away slightly. He looked carefully. After a while, he said sincerely, "Where on earth have you been? Why are you getting younger and younger? It's getting more and more beautiful, Emperor, God. Look at the beauty in front of me, like an angel, long golden hair like wheat, blue eyes like a lake, and light red seductive lips, which makes me intoxicated and can't extricate myself.

Elizabeth laughed and said, "Forget it, bartender, your trick is useless to me, but I didn't expect you, an old man, to be so powerful now."

"Of course," the old man replied with a smile, "The wine is always old and sweet. What do those young people know? Only an old man like me has enough charm. Although I'm old now, I'm awesome. No matter what aspect, do you want to try it?

"Oh? I haven't seen you for a few years. The bartender, you have become bolder. Do you dare?

"I didn't dare a few years ago, but look at me now?" The old man spread out his hands and stepped back two steps. "Look at me now, what I dare not do. The length of life is meaningless to me. If I can pick your delicate flower at the moment before death, then I will have no regrets in my life."

"Thank you, bartender. This is the best flattery I've ever heard."

"Don't thank me," the old man walked to the bar in the room, took out the bar and said, "It's what I should do to make the beauty happy. Do you want something, the old rule?"

"Yes, it's the old rule."

"Okay, Bloody Mary. What about that little beauty?" As the bartender spoke, he began to look at Li Anjie carefully. After a while, the bartender's face showed surprise: "My emperor, nun, I'm not mistaken."

"I don't think you have it."

"I don't think I'm old enough to see things clearly. So young lady, what would you like to drink? I'm full of good wine here."

Li Anjie frowned, and her eyes were looking at the wine cabinet. It was not easy for her to pick out a glass from a variety of wines to drink. Because Li Anjie has been practicing with his master in the deep mountains for most of his life. Master is an absolute bitter monk and abandons all physical pleasure and pleasure, so Li Anjie has never drunk wine in his life. But because Li Anjie's mother Elizabeth is a big alcoholic, on the one hand, Li Anjie has a natural antipathy and disgust with wine, but on the other hand, she is very curious about what is wine? What does it taste like? Why do so many people like it?

No matter what the idea is, Li Anjie's attitude towards the first glass of wine in his life can be regarded as very cautious. The first time he drinks, he can't do it casually.

But there was an accident.

"Forget it, bartender, my daughter doesn't drink. Just give her a non-alcoholic drink."

"Mom, what are you doing! Why do you make a decision not to let me drink?"

"Because you are not yet eighteen years old."

"I'm here. I'm 18 years old this year!"

"Not yet, it's still seven days away!"

The bartender shrugged his shoulders, gave Li Anjie a helpless look, and then served two drinks, one was as red as blood, which was Elizabeth's favorite bloody Mary, and one was a bubbling black non-alcoholic drink, which was a coke.

"Then my dear nun," the bartender spoke and casually made a cup of colorful cocktail. "Did you come here because something big is going to happen?"

"No, I'm just here to travel."

"Haha, yes, yes, you are just an ordinary mother who travels with her daughter, and I am an excellent and kind imperial citizen." The bartender winked at Anjie Li and said, "So an ordinary mother came to me. What do you want to know?"

"I want to know a lot of things. You don't know. I've been walking between wild planets in the past few years, and I'm about to become a savage. Is there any news?"

"Hey hey, what's new in the universe? The defense forces and the bean sprouts are fighting back and going. There are occasional revolutions on several agricultural planets, and the green skins are gradually rampant. Religious liars and heretics can be seen everywhere. The former young people are gradually getting old, and the new generation of young people come in, and A few years ago, there was no difference. The Sea Rat Star was on fire, and there was a war in the universe. It was all ordinary things. There would be no war in this universe one day.

"The bartender, I'm serious. Don't perfunctory me with these useless nonsense. Tell me in detail."

"Of course, of course, who wants you to be a nun," the bartender sighed, "but you should also know that I am no longer young. The descendants have long disliked me as an old guy. They think I'm in the way and stand in their way. I want me to leave Sea Rat and go to some other planets to find a beautiful garden world or a modern world suitable for living. What do these young people know? Is there any difference between other planets and Sea Rat? The whole universe is just a huge sea rat star. In the sea rat star, my bartender is still a person. I am familiar with fighting and bribes government officials, but the universe is a little too big for me. Here I can deal with hostile gangs, but in other places, those green skins, those alien monsters, who met them? Come and save me, who can save me?

Elizabeth interrupted the bartender and said directly, "Bartender, what do you want? Just say it."

"I'm old and I'm going to retire, but before I retire, I have to save enough pension. Sister, you know, those who do our business rely on the things here to eat," the old man said, pointing his temple. "Some things are too dangerous, too **. It will kill people to say it, and you are not an ordinary person. Some things that make you know will only be more dangerous. . So, you see, I can't always make an exception for you."

Elizabeth sighed, "The bartender, I thought we were friends."

"Of course, we are friends and good friends, but this is friendship," said the bartender here for a pause, and then said slowly, "However, we are talking about business now. Friendship is friendship, and business is business. We can't be confused."

Elizabeth looked at the bartender quietly and said sadly, "You didn't do that to me before."

"Oh, I'm not a young man who is excited when he sees a beautiful woman. I'm an old man who takes half an hour to pee standing. Sister, this trick is not very useful to me." The bartender smiled, and then his smile disappeared from his wrinkled face. The old man looked deeply at Elizabeth and whispered, "Yes, I didn't care much about you before. You are so powerful that you have successfully deceived all people. No one expected you to have such a great ability. No one has thought of you. A beautiful woman is so tossed around. But now it's different. I know where you come from, and I know how dangerous you are. Sister, you have lied to me many times, but even if I'm a pig, it's time to be wise. I won't provide you with free services. If I don't have enough benefits, I won't go to your mess.

Elizabeth's face also turned cold. "I saved your life, bartender."

"Yes, I haven't forgotten that I owe you once. Do you want me to pay it back now?"

For a long time, neither of them spoke, and the room was filled with silence. Li Anjie drank up the coke in a while, but no one paid attention to her. The girl sat alone on the sofa and began to study the decorations in the room.

After Li Anjie studied all the furniture in the room, Elizabeth said with a stinky face and said, "Okay, bartender, you stingy. You are robbing money from orphans and widows. You win. How much is it?"

"I charge the bill normally," seeing that Elizabeth's face became worse, the bartender hurriedly added, "But what's the relationship between us, so I specially give you a 20% discount on the normal fee."

"Even if it's a discount, your fee is not low."

"It's absolutely worth it, you know that."

Elizabeth nodded, picked up the glass, took a sip of the wine in the toast, and said viciously, "Give me another glass, and then let's start quickly. My time is precious."

"It's as you wish."

If the Sea Rat Star is the place where information flows most in several remote areas of the Far East, then the bartender's brain is the information gathering center of the Sea Rat Star. As the largest intelligence dealer on the Sea Rat Star, the old bartender knows almost everything about this remote area of the Far East.

"Or follow the old rules?"

"Of course," Elizabeth nodded. "Let's follow the old rules and see what the group of country bumpkin are doing."

The bartender clicked a little, and then quickly opened a secret door behind him, revealing a huge electronic instrument. The old man skillfully tapped a few times on the electronic instrument. After a while, an iron box spit out of the electronic instrument. The old man held the iron box in his hands, put it on the bar, and then motioned Elizabeth to open the iron box.

Elizabeth didn't say much. She opened the iron box, took out the paper documents in the box, and began to read attentively. During this period, the bartender filled Li Anjie with coke again, and the old man's mouth was not idle. "I still remember the first, the nun. When I asked for the information of the country bumpkin, I was really ashamed at that time. At the beginning, I was still not mature enough to speak too easily, but as a result, I didn't even hear the name of the Zhiyuan Galaxy. It was a complete failure for the intelligence traffickers to this extent.

"You can't be blamed. I can only say that the place where the country bumpkin lives is too remote."

"It can't be said that they are country bumpkin now. Although the location of the place is indeed remote, it is very different now. In recent years, the development of Zhiyuan Metallurgical Mineral Group has been very rapid. Of course, the development of the Li family cannot be mentioned. Although Zhiyuan Star is nothing in terms of scale and strength, if you look at the speed of development, you can find the horror of it. It's simply soaring.

"Li's family?"

"A commercial group based on Zhiyuanxing and with a strong official color of Zhiyuanxing is actually a large cross-galactic group company with a semi-official background. However, the name of the company is 'Li Jia'. At the end of the document, there is a detailed analysis of the 'Li Jia' and its helm, Countess Bartoli. This Women not only have a first-class business acumen, but also a beautiful woman. It is said that this ** woman is also a star consul with a distant star. Our professional intelligence analysts have also carefully studied and analyzed this rumor, and finally found that the credibility is very high.

Elizabeth was somewhat unhappy to hear this. "Your intelligence analysts are really idle enough to study these peach rumors without doing serious work?"

"It can't be said that the interpersonal relationship of the target is very important for the intelligence galaxy, so this kind of analysis is not boring, but serious work. By the way, since it comes to Zhiyuan Star, I must tell you that now Zhiyuan Star has been listed as our key observation object and the red alert area. That place is very dangerous. Don't run there if you have nothing to do. If a beautiful woman like you dies, it will be the loss of the whole universe.

"Focus on observing objects and red alert areas?" Elizabeth frowned?" Why?"

"It's thanks to you to find this," the old man returned to the bar, skillfully operated the machine, and took out two iron boxes from the machine in a short time. "Your habit of coming to me is to look at the information of those country bumpkin first, then look at the information of the court, and finally check the war and each The battle report. Naturally, I have to pay more attention to this information, but I found something unexpected. One of these two documents is the dynamic report of the trial court, excluding most people, among which only the activity report you listed as a suspect, and the other is a report on green skin activities in the past five years. You can carefully compare the two reports.

Elizabeth opened the iron box and looked carefully at the two reports. As the reading continued, her face became worse and worse. Finally, she punched the bar and shouted angrily, "These bastards, they are treasonous! Are these all real?"

"I'm not a rookie, I understand the meaning of these documents. Don't worry, the information has been confirmed repeatedly and is undoubtedly accurate. It's just that this information can't be regarded as evidence. It can only provide a kind of doubt. I'm afraid only the group of people know the real situation.

"So their next goal is to Zhiyuan Star?"

"I'm afraid it won't be wrong. We only need to observe once, and we can almost be sure of guessing."

Elizabeth nodded and said coldly, "This is the right thing to do." But it's just for your bartender.

Elizabeth drank the wine in the toast again. Now, she urgently needs alcohol to extinguish the burning flames in her heart, because she is too angry.

As early as 13 years ago, when Li Anjie was only five years old, Elizabeth was from her former superior Randall. Rong De received a warning, "Be careful of the Istepanias." Elizabeth now clearly remembers the meeting. She finally managed to meet her inner contradictions and handed over the report in her hand to Randall. Rong De, but Elizabeth's situation about Li was not valued by her superiors. On the contrary, Randall's fat man warned Elizabeth. Obviously, the fat man thought that Li was not dangerous, and the real danger came from the interior of the imperial court, from Estefan. Niapai.

At first, Elizabeth did not agree with this. She thought that Randall was just alarmist. How could the fat man who only knew how to engage in political conspiracy in the office know what the real danger was, and how could the fat man understand the horror of Dark Lee? But the prosecutor's nature forced her to start an investigation into the court while monitoring Zhiyuanxing.

The result was amazing. On the one hand, Elizabeth was stunned by the boldness of her colleagues, and on the other hand, she was at a loss about what she had been familiar with. A lot of evidence and details were placed under her eyes, but she just swept by and did not look at it seriously.

The Estefanian faction is not a fiction, nor is it a bad move made by Randall's fat man who wants to climb up, but it is true that there is such a group of people.

This group of people is very terrible, because they are not only rational thinkers, but also cold executors. Yes, they are outstanding talents in the trial court cultivated by the empire.

But their thoughts are so terrible. A simple inference is that pain and training will make people progress. The same is true for the country. Disasters rejuvenate the country - in the face of powerful enemies and natural disasters, human beings will always appear particularly united. They will abandon the usual conflicts and contradictions and unite closely. Together, fight against the common enemy. The same is true of history. It is precisely because of the great rebellion that the star warriors' disloyalty to the emperor were eliminated, and it was because of the darkness of the apostasy era that Cerbesian was brought. Saul and his reform of the Holy See, in a period of turbulent times, both technology, faith, and dominance of the Milky Way have achieved a qualitative leap. In peacetime, bureaucrats will become corrupt, people will become indifferent, they will not care about the battle on the distant front line, they will not worry about the future of mankind, and they will only see a little profit in front of them.
