Chapter 231: Encountering a reckless person on the third floor, and earning him a place in the gang

If someone else had said such nonsense to Chief Norman, Norman would have definitely asked him to go to the third floor for a mental evaluation first, but as for Ricky... he was more or less used to it.

Liu Yonglu still gave face. Originally, he wanted three people, but when he turned his head and looked at Millie Tang, he remembered that this kid often showed off his knowledge to him, so he could be considered a slow person.

"Well, I'll keep an eye out for you, and you can look for someone yourself, even if it's someone from Gregory. Anyway, Prince Andrew can speak for you about any case related to the Continental Expo."

"Okay, then we'll go first. I'll take Mi Li'er to the third floor to see Peggy for a checkup to make sure there's no root cause of the disease."

"Um... By the way, Ricky, there is one more thing, Ms. Miles, do you still remember it?"

Liu Yonglu tilted his head back and scratched his chin.

"I remember now, Xiaohu's homeroom teacher? How young is he? School is about to start. Will he be back in the next two days?"

"Back to school? Anyway, it has nothing to do with school. I don't know if she has mentioned her brother Kou Gang to you. Kou Gang is currently working as a clerk in the Investigation Department, responsible for receiving and sending materials, logistics and procurement, but he has always had the heart of an investigator.

What Ms. Miles said on the phone just now was that the two of them had been arguing a lot recently, so she asked you to see if he could join your team, then send him to try, but if he is another captain, forget it. "

Liu Yonglu nodded. It was true. At the beginning, Xiaohu’s parents were asked to make a wish themselves. This was a relative of his, so Xiaohu would need his sister’s help in going to school in the future. So he would just wait and see. If he could take care of the child, he would take care of him.

"Okay, I'll take Mi Li'er to see a doctor first, and then see if the child is honest or not. If he is not honest, we can't keep him."

"Well, these are all unimportant matters. You guys go up first."

General Norman didn't look at Liu Yonglu while speaking. He just nodded to Millie Tang with a grin. Millie Tang knew what he was thinking and turned her face away, ignoring the old man.

The two went up to the third floor and as soon as they reached the stairs, they saw an acquaintance, Carol.

Carol's current condition was not quite right, as if she was drunk. Two investigators held her on the left and right. Carol was in the middle with her head drooping and her feet dragging on the ground.

"How much did you drink in broad daylight?"

"Captain Ricky, Carol didn't drink."

"I'm not drunk like this."

"He's not drunk. He took the risk of touching an ancient relic that could lead him into the Dreamland on the first floor of the basement. He did come out, but his consciousness was a little waning. We quickly took him to the third floor for a checkup.

It turned out that after coming out of 1408, Carol found Sir Gregory again, and the two had a soul-touching "men's conversation" in the study.

Carol was saved by Liu Yonglu again this time. He felt grateful and ashamed. They were both captains, so why was there such a big gap between them?
He sat in a chair and talked about the key points. Sometimes he had tears in his eyes and said that he was not worthy of the position of captain. Sometimes he clenched his fists and said that he would catch up. Sir Gregory sat in a chair and drank whiskey without saying a word. He let his nephew vent his anger before looking out the window and speaking:
"How long a journey does a man have to go through before he can become a real man. How many seas does a dove have to fly over before it can sleep peacefully on the beach..."

Carol knew that his uncle was reading the lyrics of the song. On the day he joined the army, he came to the living room of his house and waited for him to come downstairs. He played and sang this song at that time.

“How long does it take for a mountain to stand tall? It takes time for the sea to change.

Carol, there is still a long way to go, and you will pay Ricky back later."

"Uncle, I came here today to apply for the ancient relic and try to master the dreamland."

Carol knew Sir Gregory was trying to comfort himself, but he was determined.

As a veteran investigator, he is well aware of the role of the Dreamland. There are also investigators in the department who control the Dreamland, but they are few and far between. Ricky and Millie Tang are two of them.

Just because mastering the dream world is tantamount to signing a contract with the gods. What kind of existence are gods? He knows it very well. They were born in chaos, with twisted tentacles all over reality and dreams. Signing a contract with them? First of all, whether they can see you is a problem.

Even if you control the Dreamland, the price of entering is not something that ordinary people can afford. Investigators holding ancient relics are actually no different from other intruders in the Dreamland. The whispers of the gods will indiscriminately destroy the will of the investigators. Maybe your opponent is not crazy yet, but you can't stand it first.

Although Carol had the conditions to try it before, she was hesitant to make up her mind.

But it can't happen again and again. Ricky saved me twice, I can't expect him to save me every time.

Carol came here today, determined to give it a try no matter what.

"I'll find you some investigators who are good at arranging mass ceremonies. Go to the second underground floor and give my letter to Farrell. These three ancient relics are all related to the Dreamland."

Gregory was not a fussy person. Since Carol had made up his mind, he should respect his choice. As he spoke, Gregory took out a file bag from the drawer, marked the document with a pen, signed his name, and pushed it in front of Carol.

"Ah."

Carol thought of a lot of words but didn't say them out loud. He took the documents, just agreed, turned around and strode out of the study.

The first attempt, of course... failed. Fortunately, Gregory had made sufficient preparations for Carol, so even though he failed, he managed to save his life. It was just that after leaving the dreamland, his mental state was a little depressed.

At this time, at the stairs on the third floor, Carol was supported by someone. He raised his head slightly and saw Liu Yonglu. He forced a smile and wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to be blocked by a piece of cotton and he could not make a sound. He could only wave at him.

They were all here to see a doctor, but it was obvious which one was more serious. Liu Yonglu took Millie Tang to sit on a bench for a while. Millie Tang said that she was fine. She also took out the information she brought out last night and discussed with Liu Yonglu the target of this escort, the background of Nicholas Somilian.

Nicholas came from an ordinary family, but showed his talent at a very young age. In the beginning, people from the Church of Wisdom tried to win him over, but the condition was not negotiable, that is, to join the church. For some reason, the two sides failed to reach an agreement, and Nicholas founded the Rodwell Company on his own a few years later.

The company was suppressed by the Wisdom Cult at the beginning, and it has only developed rapidly in the past ten years. It is said that Nicholas' second wife was born into a New Nurland noble family, and Rodwell Company gradually improved because of the care of the royal family. But even so, Rodwell's momentum in Calder County is still suppressed by the Wisdom Cult.

While the two were talking, Carol also came out. This time he walked by himself without anyone's help. He was holding a small medicine bottle in his hand, which might be the sedative prescribed by Peggy for him.

Seeing Liu Yonglu and Millie Tang sitting on the bench, Carol misunderstood and thought that they were friends and were waiting for her, so she quickly sat down next to Liu Yonglu and started a conversation:
"Ricky, there's something I want to ask you."

"I don't deserve your advice, but there's nothing we can't talk about between brothers."

"How did you master the Dreamland in the first place? I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I just entered the Dreamland through the ancient relics on the underground floor, but the twisted spell of the gods is lingering. I want to ask if you have any solution?"

Liu Yonglu was very good at handling things. When he heard that Carol wanted to enter the dreamland through the ancient relics, he knew that Carol must be upset about what happened in 1408.

But my trick... most people can't learn it. Crosstalk looks like two people standing on the stage speaking colloquial language and telling jokes. But the words can't be finished after just memorizing them, they still have to be performed. As the saying goes, one minute on stage takes ten years of hard work off stage. Even if you are an amateur crosstalk artist, it will take you several years to learn the basics. It's not enough to just pick it up and perform.

Since I can't tell the truth, I have to say something vague. It would be best to encourage Carol. He has gone from being a captain to the third fat guy, so I can't give him another blow.

"Hey, buddy, do you think there's something wrong with my accent? You guys often don't understand what I say?"

"Yes...it's not because of you..."

If Liu Yonglu hadn't told Carol, he would have never thought about this question. Ricky's full name is Ricky Baldwin. He knows the surname Baldwin. Although he is not a veteran noble in New New Londo, he is still a well-known person in the whole Mosesad. His family has a long history. So Ricky is definitely not a foreigner. Then why is his accent so strange? And he often uses words he doesn't understand?

"Hey, brother, I'm telling you the truth. Before I became an investigator, I didn't have this accent. It was a genuine New Nurland accent. Ever since I entered the Dreamland, the gods have harmed me! This mouth! It's bad!"

"puff!"

Millie Tang was drinking water nearby, and she couldn't hold it in and spat it all out.

"What are you laughing at! What are you kidding! We are just discussing our medical conditions, why are you laughing so much?"

Liu Yonglu quickly pulled Mili Tang's arm:
"Brother, let's continue. There's a saying about the whispering of gods. Have you heard of it?"

"Please say."

"Whispering is like a spring. When you are weak, it is strong! When you are strong, it is weak. It depends on how strong you are!"

Liu Yonglu's words hit the mark unexpectedly and did not fool Carol. People with weak willpower are often easily seduced by gods, while people with special willpower, such as Liu Yonglu, are not greatly affected.

However, the key is how to use mortal will to counter the whispers of gods. Of course, Liu Yonglu couldn't give a specific answer.

"But, brother, you really are this."

Liu Yonglu gave a thumbs up:
"Even though he's the captain, he still sets higher standards for himself. That's admirable. Did Ms. Peggy say anything just now? Is it serious?"

"It's OK, nothing serious. I plan to try again in the afternoon."

Carol's usual tough guy style was indeed encouraged by Liu Yonglu's "same disease" rhetoric. He thought, Ricky even damaged his language system while exploring the Dreamland, so there was nothing to be afraid of for me.

"Don't do it this afternoon. Go home and take a nap. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"No, I have a quick temper."

"Hey! Mi Li'er! Found one."

"Cough cough cough..."

Millie Tang was eating oranges nearby when Liu Yonglu slapped her on the back, almost choking her to death.

"Carol, let me ask you another key question, can you drive?"

"Carriage? Yes, I didn't want to join the navy at first. I wanted to be a ranger in the army, so I am very good at riding and driving."

"It's him!"

Liu Yonglu turned back happily and told Millie Tang that Millie Tang had originally wanted to leave half of the orange for Liu Yonglu, but she got angry after he slapped her like that just now, so she stuffed the remaining half of the orange into her mouth in one gulp.

……

At this moment, in a carriage heading towards the city of Novidon in Calder County, a young man in a beige windbreaker looked out of the window. Another carriage was following behind him. It was his companions. There were six people in total including them.

"Bill, how long will it take? The humid air in Moses Sad is making me uncomfortable. I'm already missing the sunshine and olive groves on the slopes of the Holy See."

Today 7k+. Anyway, I pay attention to the way I write, and the buttons are fastened a little long, haha.

I finally got a stiff neck after sleeping yesterday. I will have to use a cupping jar later. It’s getting cold now, so everyone should cover themselves with blankets before sleeping.
