Chapter 46 Priests and Paladins
…
"Well, let me share some merit points with Guan Nuo." Wang Yan had not expected this before, so he still felt a little guilty.
"The merit points are allocated rationally by the leaders based on each person's contribution to the task." Xiaotu shook his head and said, "Gifts, transactions, etc. are not allowed among members. Brother Wang Yan, the merit points you have received this time Is it worth it, should it be stored temporarily or redeemed?"
"Since it's exactly 30 o'clock to redeem a C+ grade inner elixir essence, let's redeem it." Wang Yan thought for a moment and felt that one hundred thousand in the card was enough.
I feel that in the final analysis, we still need to improve our strength. If you can participate in C-level missions as soon as possible, are you still worried about running out of money?
"Okay, I will give it to you tomorrow." Xiaotu flipped through the file, hesitated and said, "There is another small matter here that I need you to deal with."
“You can ask for anything, and whatever you can do will be done.”
Xiaotu coughed twice: "The situation is like this. Two members from the Holy See of Light came to our Huahai City on a business trip. They will arrive at the international airport at 8:30 tonight. Our National African Affairs Bureau needs a formal member with equal status. Pick up at the airport and arrange accommodation.”
Wang Yan was stunned, the Holy See of Light? On business trip? Pick up? What is this?
Fortunately, in recent times, we have seen too many strange things. After a moment of confusion, he recovered and said strangely: "Didn't our bureau arrange personnel in advance to receive you?"
"It's arranged." Xiaotu said helplessly, "But just now, he was drunk. Brother Wang Yan, you have a good image and can be the face of our East China Branch."
Wang Yan was also speechless. Qingqing originally appointed Lei Hong to pick up the plane? The person who drank three bottles of Erguotou and drank too much is weird enough.
Little Rabbit drooped his long ears listlessly, and said helplessly: "Brother Lei has a deep connection with the Holy See of Light, so it is appropriate to send him to pick him up at the airport. Who would have expected that he would be in a bad mood today, so he drank like this? . As for the others, most of them have their own tasks, not to mention not everyone is reliable. After all, the Holy See of Light and we are pan-Earth friendly cooperative units, and we must have some etiquette and face. So, Brother Wang Yan, please ask me. ”
"Okay, isn't it just to receive international friends and arrange for their food, food and accommodation?" Wang Yan thought for a while and agreed. After all, I am a serious bachelor. I have passed CET-4 in English, so simple communication will not be a big obstacle.
Wang Yan asked about the other party's basic situation and accommodation arrangements. Then he looked at the time and said, "It's already past seven o'clock now. I have to rush to the airport."
After saying goodbye to Xiaotu, Wang Yan left the unit directly.
Then it suddenly occurred to me that picking someone up by bicycle was a bit unreliable. Forget it, let’s take the subway. Therefore, Wang Yan trotted all the way to the subway station and rushed towards the international airport.
Xiaotu, who stayed in the unit, although he solved the problem, always felt that something was wrong, as if something was missing. But no matter how much I think about it, I can't remember it.
It wasn't until half past eight that Xiaotu suddenly remembered that Brother Wang Yan's car was a bicycle. How could he pick someone up? Immediately, he was sweating and made a phone call and said: "Brother Wang Yan, you don't know how to ride a bicycle to pick up people, do you?"
At this time, Wang Yan was holding a sign at the airport pick-up area. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "How is that possible?"
"Shh~ It's okay, it's okay." Xiaotu patted his chest fearfully. If that was really the case, it would be a bit embarrassing for the country. It seems that Brother Wang Yan is quite reliable and knows how to ask someone to borrow a car.
"By the way, everything has been arranged at the hotel, right? Let's not talk about it for now, someone is coming out. I will pick them up in a while and take them directly to take a taxi. Ah, I won't say more, my phone is almost out of battery."
"Okay. Wait, let's take a taxi..." Xiaotu's pretty face turned pale. When he was about to say something, Wang Yan had already hung up the phone. The poor little rabbit's eyes were all red, and now it was too late even to send a car there.
An exit of the airport.
Wang Yan held up a homemade cardboard sign with the English words "Welcome leaders of the Holy See of Light to visit our city" written on it. Of course, these words are translated using online translation. With his mere attainment of CET-4, he still cannot write such high-level English words and sentences.
He kept waving and gesturing towards the people pouring out of the exit. The little ferret was lying in his arms energetically, looking around curiously.
It is estimated that in its original living environment, it would not see as many people in a hundred years as it did tonight.
In fact, Wang Yan was also very curious. He had only seen the Holy See of Light in novels before, but he did not expect that it would exist in reality. And seeing that they are a friendly cooperative unit with the National African Affairs Bureau, then the other party will also have many powerful combatants, right?
What are their images? In Wang Yan's mind, the image of a paladin wearing steel plate armor and holding a war hammer emerged. Or a priest wearing a robe, holding a Bible and a cross.
"Excuse me, are you the pick-up person sent by the China International Affairs Bureau?" A white man with brown hair combed meticulously looked at the cards carefully and then asked politely in standard Chinese Mandarin.
"Yes, you are?" Wang Yan paused deliberately and secretly looked at the two visitors. The other party actually spoke Mandarin and spoke it very fluently. Xiabai translated the reception sign online.
The brown-haired white man who spoke was about forty years old. He had a delicate mustache and was wearing a crisp gray suit. He was completely dressed as a gentleman.
Standing behind him was a curly-haired young man in his twenties, with a fair face and sharp edges. He was wearing a tailored white casual suit and looked very sunny and handsome.
"I am Father Locke Lambert from the Holy See, and this is Paladin Ronnie Walter." The middle-aged man introduced politely.
"Hello, priest, hello paladin. I am Wang Yan from the Huaxia Abnormal Incident Security Handling Bureau, East China Branch." Wang Yan smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking it with them respectively. But I was complaining secretly in my heart, as expected, times have changed. The current attire of priests and paladins is no longer robes and armor.
It was nothing to shake hands with Father Locke. After a gentle shake, the two let go of each other in a friendly manner. But when I held Paladin Ronnie's hand, it was different.
Wang Yan clearly felt that while the other party was smiling and nodding, his hands were gradually tightening like iron pliers.
Haha, is this the time to compete? Wang Yan muttered to himself, no wonder the bureau couldn't send ordinary logistics personnel to pick up the plane. It was probably a tradition.
So Wang Yan was no longer polite, and kept smiling, gradually exerting his strength.
10%, 20%, their expressions are still calm and calm. It wasn't until Wang Yan used 50% of his strength that the veins on the back of Paladin Ronny's hands burst out, and sweat dripped from his forehead.
He glanced at Wang Yan in surprise, because Wang Yan's face was still calm and there was no sign of excessive exertion. Unconvinced, Ronnie pressed harder again, and the bones between his fingers were already creaking.
But Wang Yan's face still didn't change much. Instead, Ronnie's face gradually turned red and his veins were exposed.
"Haha, Mr. Ronny's strength is really not small." Wang Yan had almost tested the strength of the other party, took the initiative to let go of his hand, and said modestly, "I almost used 90% of my strength." In fact. , he only used about 65% of his strength. But we are the host after all, so we have to save some face for our international friends.
A trace of shame flashed across Paladin Ronnie's eyes, and the previous pride disappeared. He said politely: "Your Excellency Wang Yan's strength is truly amazing. Please forgive me for my presumption."
"Haha, what an award. I heard that the Paladins are loyal, brave, and fearless strong men with a long history. They are the sharpest spears and shields of the Holy See of Light." Wang Yan also complimented politely, "Today I am truly lucky to be able to see it with my own eyes."
"It turns out that Your Excellency Wang Yan knows the Paladin quite well." Ronnie's eyes lit up and he said with a bright face, "We must have a drink."
"No problem." Wang Yan agreed boldly, but secretly murmured in his heart, can you not understand? In various film and television works, the Paladins in novels have a very high appearance rate.
"Haha, I really envy you young people for your vitality." Father Locke said with a smile.
At this moment, the airport staff sent them a check-in gift. Priest Locke only has one big box, but Paladin Ronnie has three big boxes.
Wang Yan helped carry it. It was very heavy. Each box weighed at least fifty kilograms upward. With this weight, it should be Ronnie's equipment inside, right?
"It's a joke, because we don't have sacred space equipment, so we can only pack it in boxes." Ronnie was polite but also looked a little proud. After all, his weapons and equipment add up to a full 150 kilograms. If an ordinary person wears it on his body, he will be directly crushed to the ground.
Sacred space equipment? Wang Yan muttered to himself, doesn't it mean those space bracelets, rings and the like? Is there really that kind of supernatural magical equipment in this world?
But in order to avoid being too naive, Wang Yan had no choice but to say haha, yes, yes, it would be convenient to have one, and then fooled around.
But problems came one after another.
When I was queuing up to get into a taxi, three taxis in a row refused to take me on the grounds that the salutes were too heavy and too heavy. It was not easy for Wang Yan to reveal his identity to suppress them. In fact, even if he revealed his identity, it would be useless. I'm a taxi driver, but you have a weird identity like the Commissioner of the Inspection Team, the National African Affairs Bureau, etc.
Taxis are not allowed on, and the subway obviously won’t be allowed on.
Fortunately, the wisdom of us working people is infinite. How can a living person be suffocated to death?
Wang Yan struggled for a while and cleverly got a battery tricycle. They bargained for three hundred yuan and sent the three of them to a high-end five-star hotel without issuing an invoice.
Fortunately, the hotel is not in the city center, and it is late now, otherwise the tricycles would not be willing to take us there.
Amidst the buzzing sound of the battery-powered tricycle, the three of them pulled tightly on the bars and galloped all the way to the hotel. The evening breeze blew the meticulous hair of the two international friends, messy and flying in the wind.
