Charlie frowned and asked, “Does your assistant usually meet your needs in that area?”
Lucian replied, “He wanted to join the Hubbert Battalion, but to join the Hubbert Battalion, he needed a recommendation from someone who had been trained in the Hubbert Battalion. That’s why I used that as a condition to ask him to satisfy my...”
Charlie reached out a hand to interrupt him. “Okay, you don’t need to say anything else.”
Lucian shut his mouth immediately.
Charlie then asked again, “Is there any way for you to let me sneak into the copper mine with you?”
Lucian said without hesitation, “That would be simple. You’d just need to wrap yourself up in a black robe with me.”
“A black robe?”
“Yes.” Lucian stood up, took off two black robes from the hanger behind the door, and said to Charlie, “Because I am a special envoy, only my superiors and my assistant can see my true face. I’m always wrapped in a robe so that no one can see any of my features.”
Charlie nodded and asked again, “Has the person in charge of the copper mine in Cyprus seen your real face?”
“No.” Lucian shook his head and said, “If you want to go in, you only need to get off the boat in a black robe like me later. After getting off the boat, the Armed Calvary Guard from the copper mine will pick us up.”
Charlie asked again, “When will you return, then?”
“Tomorrow.” Lucian said, “The Armed Calvary Guards on this ship will gather all the crew members in the engine room after the ship docks, and they will not be allowed to see the outside world. The Armed Calvary Guards will start unloading the goods, and after unloading all the supplies, they will also start to load the copper ore, and they will set sail to go back in the morning tomorrow after it is full.”
Charlie asked him, “What about you?”
Lucian explained, “I will stay at the copper mine tonight to supervise the Armed Calvary Guards take the antidote before supervising the dead soldiers to take their antidote. It will be almost dawn after making sure that everyone has taken their antidote properly.”
“Okay.” Charlie nodded and said, “I’ll go in with you, then!”
