Chapter 424: True Brothers
The old servant nodded and said, “Okay.”
After saying that, the servant carried his food and went back to Strachey’s apartment.
Looking at the old servant’s back, Ulysses muttered to himself thoughtfully, “Important magic communication? What important magic communication is there at this time?”
For some reason, Ulysses began to feel that his teacher was too similar to his father. Both of them were like this, and it had become hard for him to understand or see through them.
After finishing off a bottle of thousand-year-old red wine and half of the top-grade wine stored in the best hotel in the Holy City of Beauty, Morton and Arthur were finally placed on the table by Lei Luo.
At this moment, Lei Luo looked out of his window again. The moon was starting to emit a faint light. He then looked at his own clock. Damn, the three of them had drunk a whole twelve hours in one go.
At this moment, Lei Luo’s body was actually more exhausted than Morton and Arthur’s. Logically speaking, he should have fainted a long while ago.
However, he had something on his mind and had wanted to leave early. Therefore, he used superhuman will to forcefully suppress the urge to faint and barely maintain his consciousness.
However, although his consciousness was clear, Lei Luo’s body was as limp as a ball of dough.
Even turning his head to look out of the window took a lot of effort.
Therefore, Lei Luo slowly closed his eyes and focused all his attention to feel the changes in his body.
After about half an hour, Lei Luo finally gained control of his body.
Lei Luo stood up and first loosened his muscles and bones.
Then he smiled and looked at Morton and Arthur, who were lying on the table. He whispered, “Brothers, let’s meet at the Great Wall of Iron Blood.”
After saying that, Lei Luo took out a card from his pocket and put it beside Arthur. Then he left.
The card was made of paper and was made by Lei Luo himself. Apart from the words “Happy Birthday” on the front, Lei Luo also wrote a sentence on the back:
“Brothers support each other and don’t compare. As long as there is a difference in heart, you are not a real brother. I treat you as my real brother. I hope you won’t let me down. – Lei Luo”
By the time Arthur and Morton awoke from their drunken stupor, Lei Luo was already on a passenger ship bound for the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
After sitting on the passenger ship, Lei Luo began to relax his body slowly.
After about an hour, Lei Luo finally returned his body to the state he wanted.
At this time, his face had already turned red, and the effects of alcohol on the brain came back to haunt him.
Lei Luo ordered a cup of sleeping fluid with the steward and simply fell asleep.
Under the effects of the sleeping potion and alcohol, Lei Luo fell into a deep sleep. Even if you beat him up like a pig, he would not feel anything.
Ten hours later, Lei Luo finally woke up. He felt that he was awake. Looking at the time on the passenger ship, there was still about an hour before the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
After ordering another bowl of noodles, Lei Luo placed it on his temple and began to review the information he had prepared.
There were more than 10 billion magic conductors in the entire empire, and the number of high-level magic conductors among them was as high as 65,000. But in the documents that Ulysses had given to Lei Luo, there was only a total of more than 300,000 information about magic conductors.
From this, it could be seen that those who were qualified to be on this list could be said to be the cream of the crop among the magic conductors. Among these lists, there was only one person who was on the Great Wall of Iron Blood. His name was Kronin.
In the categorization of the information, it was like this: Kronin, design age 100 years old, age 85 years old, top-notch assembly engineer, self-taught top-notch doctor.
He had a strong appeal among magic conductors.
As for the details, there were many detailed information, including the data that Kronin reported during his annual physical examination, as well as his social relations, work results, and so on.
Lei Luo had read all this information more than a hundred times.
However, in the end, Lei Luo found that none of the information had the portrait that was posted in the summary, and it was more informative.
“The appearance of a person is a portrait of the heart. The appearance expresses and reveals the entire personality of a person.”
In a person’s life, his behavior, mode of thinking, and state of mind were often accompanied by many subtle expressions that he was not aware of.
These expressions would be imprinted on his face after countless repetitions. The deepest impression was in his eyes. A person with an empty heart would never be able to pretend to be wise.
This was why Lei Luo was so obsessed with this portrait.
Because he was too old, his skin had become as rough as sackcloth, dry, and deeply wrinkled like a canyon. His face was completely tied together, and his hair, which was about two fingers long, had turned white, it was a little messy at the back of his head.
If this is all you have to pay attention to, then this portrait is absolutely a perfect specimen of the cruelty of life.
However, when you look at the eyes on this face, you will find that everything has been turned into magic.
It is a pair of eyes full of vitality, so much so that you can feel just by looking at this portrait, how lively the eyes will project.
And when the eyes merged with the face, one could get the entirety of the portrait: an old man with a tolerant, humorous, and slightly sad expression.
In terms of age, Morton was actually not much older than Kronin, and Morton was also a wise man.
However, for some reason, although they had not met yet, Lei Luo could not help but feel that from a certain point of view, this Kronin and Morton were not on the same level at all.
“I really want to see this person as soon as possible.”
It was with this kind of mood that Lei Luo came to the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
First, he stayed in the civilian area for two to three days. After getting a clear picture of the situation, Lei Luo thought of a way to disguise himself as a communication soldier of the Phoenix Alliance and entered the military zone.
Because he had investigated everything carefully beforehand, Lei Luo used less than fifteen minutes to arrive at Kronin’s house. It was a very old house.
Before he went to knock on the door, Lei Luo raised his head and confirmed the address of the door.
That’s right, it was here.
“Creak.
With the sound of the wooden door opening, which was already hard to hear, Lei Luo saw the old man in the portrait appear in front of him.
