The doorbell rang at the door, and Lena and Finch, who had been talking for nearly an hour in the office, stopped.
"Come in."
Finch pressed the electronic lock button to open the door.
Edison appeared at the door.
"Doctor."
He pushed his black frame, glanced at Lena, and said, "There's a guest coming." ” The headquarters of the "Guest" is now in ruins, and at the same time, the four major family strongholds around the world have been attacked by the "Genesis" organization, and everyone is currently busy restoring the facility, unless it is a video communication, obviously no one will fly to the United States to meet with them in person.
"It's someone from the Alchemy Guild."
Edison said, "They contacted me and said there were some things they wanted to meet with you in person and talk about in detail. ” "It's Ducat," Finch suddenly said a name.
Edison was visibly stunned for a moment, probably not expecting Finch to accurately guess the identity of the visitor.
"That's right, it's President Du."
He said, "I came here with a few elders in person. ” Finch nodded and said to Lena, "Lena, you go out first, go to their room, and tell them to get ready, the next operation will come soon."
In addition, let the people in the logistics department prepare, we estimate that we will have to take a trip to the Indian Ocean.
It is estimated that when the time comes, we will use the military strength of the US military, and I will deal with this aspect. ” "Yes, Doctor."
Lena left the room without looking back.
Finch said to Edison, who was still standing at the door, "Go ahead, bring President Du here, I've been waiting for him for a long time." ” After Edison left, Finch couldn't contain the little excitement in his heart and paced around his office.
Ducatt finally came to the door, which reminded him of the World War II period, the originally neutral Alchemy Guild suddenly announced that it was on the side of the Presbyterian Church, it can be said that the Alchemy Guild's high alchemy technology made the members of the Presbyterian Church hidden in the Allied forces who were constantly responsible for the black operation like a tiger, before 1942, in fact, the Presbyterian Church and the Restoration Society were each other, one infiltrated the Axis countries, and the other infiltrated the Allies, wrestling on the invisible battlefield.
However, the Council of Elders has always been at a disadvantage, and the addition of the Alchemy Guild can be said to have reversed the situation.
When they finally attacked Japan, the Japanese military shouted "200 million jade pieces", in fact, this was not the most troublesome place for the US military, the most troublesome thing for them was that those members of the Liberation Society who infiltrated the Japanese military government, if they could not make them realize in time that the struggle would be completely destroyed, then the Council of Elders would pay a terrible price when attacking the Japanese mainland.
Therefore, with the help of the Alchemy Guild at the time, the atomic bomb, an epoch-making weapon, appeared in the skies over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in a way that shocked the world.
To this day, the use of nuclear technology is still considered by many to be a complete leap beyond the level of science and technology at the time, compared to the transition from cold weapons to hot weapons in World War II, this leap is so great that many scientists question that Einstein obtained alien technology.
In fact, Vinci knew very well that this was actually alien technology, after all, the alchemy of the Dwarf Alchemy Guild was just a part of the technology that had been spun off from the ancient Atlantean civilization.
"Finch, my old friend" Ducat's stocky figure appeared outside the door, his smile squeezing the fat on his face together, and his eyes became slits.
Finch had no choice but to open his arms and give the round ball of flesh a bear hug.
"President Du, I came all the way from San Francisco to see me, not just to have a drink with me and chat about women."
The fat on Ducat's face twitched, and the whole person froze for a moment, and the smile suddenly disappeared.
He walked over to Finch's table, sighed, walked around the wall again, reached out and pressed it in the hidden part of the bookcase, and a small window cracked in the cabinet full of books.
He reached inside, pulled out a bottle of Bath Avanac, and looked at it.
"Very good, your habits have changed, and you still like to hide wine in the bookcase."
He returned to the table and unscrewed the cap of the bottle himself, looking as if it were his own study.
"Some habits are still the same, and some things are still a little more eternal."
Finch looked at Ducat, his eyes full of meaning, turned around and took out two crystal cups from the drawer, walked to the refrigerator and removed the ice cubes, and put them in the cups, "For example, the friendship between you and me." ” Ducat's hand holding up the bottle suddenly froze in the air.
He was well aware of Finch's words, and during World War II, Ducart, as the quasi-heir of the Alchemy Guild, was sent by the former president to work beside Finch to assist Finch in dealing with the Restoration Society.
After the end of World War II, the Alchemy Guild claimed to have returned to the so-called "neutral state", and Ducater pursued a conservative strategy of "nothing to do with himself and no worries", and did not continue to fight side by side with the Elders, but watched from the sidelines, watching the Presbyterian Council and the Restoration Society fight to the death, and did not choose a side.
"Old friend, I know you have a grudge in your heart."
After a moment of stunnedness, Ducate immediately returned to normalcy and poured the wine into their glasses.
Holding the glass, Ducatel kept shaking the ice cubes in the glass to let it mix with the wine, and the aroma began to gradually disperse.
"Actually, you should understand my state of mind at that time."
He said: "I don't care how many people died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, because those people are hateful little Japan, but opening the Pandora's box of nuclear technology has kept me awake for a while, you see that the world is full of nuclear weapons now, and everyone is like sitting under their butts with a barrel of explosives, which can be blown up into the sky at any time."
Although our alchemy technology can open up another dimension and escape all this, it is not like I have destroyed the whole world and started over.
We're just merchants, and let's be honest, we don't care if the Elders will dominate in the future or the Restoration Society, or if we go back to the time of the gods, at least in the human world, the dwarf alchemists and the alchemy guild are doing well, and we don't intend to let this balance fail. ” "What the hell do you want to say," Finch interrupted Ducat's long exclamation directly, "You and I both know very well what time it is, time is running out, we have a lot to prepare, if we can, I think we can form an alliance again." ” Ducatt smiled bitterly and said, "I just said so much, this is to show that we gnomes are not a race that likes to make trouble.
However, more than half a month ago, the headquarters of our Alchemy Guild was attacked, and the alchemy space of the Forbidden Land Hotel almost collapsed, and three of our ten sage elders died.
Now that our organization is under threat, we must fight back, because gnomes are the most vindictive. ” He raised his head and drank his wine, "Okay, let's make up our minds, I came here to tell you that I know that you are going to carry out a big operation in the Indian Ocean in the future, and the enemies of our Alchemy Guild are estimated to be present at that time, so I choose to form an alliance with you to fight against foreign enemies together." ” Although Finch knew that the Forbidden Land Hotel had been attacked by unidentified figures earlier, the other party was almost in a no-man's land, and directly attacked the Forbidden Land Hotel and the Tower of Babel, severely injuring most of the guards.
However, today he learned that it turned out that the Alchemy Guild had lost three even elder-level figures.
"The other party killed three great sages," Finch's eyes were full of surprise
