Chapter 187 Long Tang Suspect
Guern briefly explained Arthur's performance in the trial. He didn't know much about what happened after admission. He and Arthur were no longer in the same department. He only knew that he had established a new club on campus, using the name of the Meteor Knights during the admission trial. All the freshmen from the Star Land joined.
After hearing this, Lancelot didn't make any comments, but just nodded and returned to the cab.
Helina and the twins glided down on the pedal of the guide, while Gunn spread his bone wings and followed closely behind them. Since last absorbing the strange energy from the zenith of Nightwing City, Gunn's bone wings have been burning with a faint green flame, which looks extremely conspicuous. If you look up from the streets in the city, you can see three fast-flying white lights, followed by a green fire.
Everyone flew over a huge golden bell tower, and a team of city patrol police chased after them. They rode a pod-shaped motorcycle levitation under them, and red and blue warning lights flashed on the front of the car to the side of the four.
"Dragon Academy Light Nianzi, come for special missions, please do not obstruct." Helina showed off the academy badge on her cloak. The group of patrol police nodded at her, her hood was covered with thick black glass, and the expressions below them were not visible, and she didn't even know whether these guys were real people or robots.
"Mr. Cotton asked us to escort you to the Chamber of Commerce. The streets of Longtang are complicated and it is easy to get lost without anyone leading the way." A police officer said to them. His voice seemed to have been processed by a voice changer, and only electronic sounds came out. Through the thick helmet, it sounded even more strange.
"Then please let me lead the way." said Actor, the older brother among the twins.
The patrol police's motorcycles rush to the accelerator and rushed over the spacious highway. Gehn and others also speeded up to catch up. The roads in Longtang City are indeed complicated and intertwined. Ordinary vehicles and suspended aircraft each have their own roads, roads, bridges and airways intersected together, and countless vehicles are speeding past at high speed. With such busy and complex road conditions, it is a miracle to be able to run without accidents.
The high-speed airway that was more than a maze like, Gehn was already dazzled. The city was too dazzling, with luxurious and exaggerated giant neon lights everywhere. The floating lighthouses in the sky were even more polluted by light. Can you really sleep at night when you live in such a place? I don’t know why Lasambo fell in love with this place. Bloodborn should not like light, for energy? Who knows?
When everyone arrived at the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The headquarters building was magnificent, and two golden giant pythons coiled on the building were very terrifying. However, when they saw the wonder buildings along the way, everyone had almost adapted and were not surprised.
Before he could enter the door, Cotton had already come out to greet them. He was still wearing a tight and luxurious suit, but he was wearing a fur coat on his shoulders, and a vulgar nobility exuded his body.
"Sir Cotton." Helina walked to the other side and handed him the box. "This is a portal shield. We will try our best to block the enemy outside the city and minimize the impact. However, Lasambo has portal technology in his hand. In order to prevent them from rushing into the city directly, this prop must be used."
"I understand, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, please come in and take a rest first, and let me do my best to entertain guests." Cotton handed the things to the guard behind him, smiled brightly, and reached out to signal Helina and the others to come with him.
"No need, our task is to bring things to you. We are not here for vacation, there are battles outside waiting for us to support." Helina refused decisively, but Gehn walked in with his hands in a swagger and waved to greet everyone.
"Don't be so serious. We can't help even if we go out. With the Black Light Saber, what are you worried about? Finally, how can you not enjoy it?" Gehn laughed, and Cotton nodded repeatedly, saying some compliments and praise. This man is a smiling tiger. Don't look at his appearance, he might be thinking of some bad ideas.
Helina didn't expect Gun to do this. She looked at Gun with a puzzled and angry look. Just as the latter was about to have an attack, the latter winked at her. He specifically avoided Cotton and several guards' sight, and his movements were also very subtle.
"I've run all the way and arrived here from Nightwing City. My bones are about to fall apart. If you want to go and support, go. I want to find a bed to lie down. It's better to have a bottle of high-quality wine. I wonder if Sir Cotton has a hidden wine to share?"
"Yes, of course, Reiner! Go to the underground wine cellar and take out my goodies for the little heroes to see!" Cotton laughed, the buttons on his chest trembled slightly, making people worried if they were about to be cracked.
The two of them have been childhood friends for many years. Although they don’t know what Gehn sells, Helina still chose to write to him and sighed, “Okay, let’s take a break for a while, but at night, hurry back immediately.”
"Helina! So what's wrong with you?" Alia was a little puzzled. Helina, who had always been serious and focused on doing things, also became greedy for enjoyment for some reason.
"Teacher Lancelot did not specify the time for us to return. It would be fine if you delayed for a while. You can go back first."
Helina didn't explain much. The two siblings looked at Gehn and Helina, but followed them in. They followed a female waiter through a luxurious corridor. There was a colorful handmade carpet under their feet, and the crystal lamp above their heads was also very Long Tang's style, bright and dazzling.
Cotton entertained everyone for an extremely rich dinner. After careful cooking by top chefs, the rare and fresh ingredients fully demonstrated the original taste of the food. Most of the ingredients were never seen before, but they were all very delicious. He didn't care about etiquette or something, so he picked up the tableware and feasted. The two brothers and sisters were a little reluctant, and after enjoying a delicious meal, they also happily accepted the reception.
The sommelier brought up the wine that Cotton had treasured, wrapped it in a towel and poured it into everyone's cups with the right temperature. However, several young people had no habit of drinking, only Gun drank it all, and the others took a sip.
During the meal, Cotton was full of boring and polite words, and there was no nutrition throughout the whole process. After the meal, Cotton asked the housekeeper to send the four of them to his guest room to rest. Gehn looked like he was drinking, his face turned red, and he was shaking when he walked. The waiter came to help him, but he pushed him away. Finally, he stumbled on Helina. Helina was also helpless and had to help Gehn go back by herself.
Gehn's eyes were drunk and breathed out the heated smell of alcohol. The two of them leaned against each other. Helina suddenly felt nervous for some reason. They had played since childhood and had a lot of hands and feet during the drill before, but this time she was a little embarrassed.
"Shh..." Gehn suddenly raised his head, and a clear light appeared in his chaotic eyes.
"You didn't..." Helina stopped as soon as she opened her mouth, and sent Guen back to her room as if she had heard nothing.
"Courton has a problem, be careful of him." This sentence was pointed out by Guen with his fingers on Helina's arm. Guangnian has his own code language system, and Helina has learned it.
"What's wrong with him?" Helina also pointed out a code word behind Gunn with her fingertips.
"Did you tell him the password?"
"That box? But Teacher Lancelot didn't tell me the password? I thought Cotton already knew the password."
"That's a dynamic password. You can only see the prompt after opening the first floor box, but Cotton did not open it at all. Without knowing this, he has not asked you for your password."
"this……"
"There is only one possibility. He wouldn't open the box at all. He said so many messes before. It was because of this that Cotton had been bribed by Lasambo."
"This is impossible. He is the vassal of Lord Lauren, or the controller behind Long Tang. He has everything, power, money, and honor. Why did he rebel?"
"Who knows, in short, his performance has proven that he has a problem."
"So you came in to investigate this?"
"I'm afraid Mr. Lancelot asked us to bring this box for this purpose. It was not a shield at all. The real shield could not be so small. He just wanted to see Cotton's position. Cotton's attitude made him suspicious."
"So strong... the teacher actually calculated this level."
"We pretended to go back to our room and met in Cotton's office."
After saying this, Gehn pretended to be drunk, stumbled into the toilet, deliberately making a sound of vomiting. He radiated a shadow and investigated the situation around him. No one followed him, but he was not sure if there was a monitor.
