Chapter 83(1/5)
"Why?"
Raphael looked unhappy and responded coldly.
"There is no reason," Thales stood in front of the portrait of "Lone Sail" Noah Almond, gritted his teeth and raised his head:
"I want to see him."
Raphael shook his head:
"I do not think so……"
"I know he's here," Thales interrupted, trying to adjust his thoughts while insisting resolutely:
"After the banquet, he was escorted directly here."
In the corridor of the secret department, under the gazes of past intelligence chiefs on the wall, Raphael stared intently at Thales.
"What do you want to do?"
"Nothing to do."
Thales calmed down and made up his mind:
"But he was one of the messes I left behind."
"I must see him."
"immediately."
Seeing Thales' unwavering determination to win, Raphael had to frown:
"I can't decide. I need to ask the Lord for instructions first. Tomorrow..."
"You've been shirkin' in front of me all day," Thales interrupted him mercilessly:
"For the sake of the past, you must be of some use, right?"
Raphael pursed his lips.
But right now.
"If you really want to see him, Your Highness Thales, it's not impossible."
They both turned their heads.
The speaker was an acquaintance on crutches.
He stood under the portrait of Sancho Doyle, the "Pale Baron", respectfully and humbly.
"Nobu?"
Raphael looked at the visitor in surprise:
"What are you doing here?"
As the highest person in charge of the kingdom's secret department in the Western Wilderness, Nobu did not answer, but just looked at Thales quietly.
The prince glanced at Raphael and turned towards Norbu.
"Are you serious, Norbu?"
"Can you really take me to see him? Anke Bailar?"
Norbu nodded and bowed respectfully: "I have the authority."
"plz follow me."
Thales exhaled a breath and moved forward.
"Wait a minute," Raphael held Thales' shoulders and said with a gloomy expression:
"Nobu, this is none of your business."
"Don't interfere with my case."
Thales spoke dissatisfiedly:
"Hey……"
But Norbu tapped his crutch to signal the prince not to worry.
"Listen to me, Raphael."
Norbu said patiently:
"Anke Bailar is a noble of the Western Wilderness. In this case, I think my long-term experience of lurking in the Western Wilderness can help..."
"I don't need it." Raphael refused.
But this time, Norbu didn't give in.
"But my lord needs it."
The person in charge of intelligence in Xihuang said calmly:
"In fact, he has assigned me the interrogation and investigation of Anke Bailar before he is transferred to the trial hall."
Raphael was immediately startled:
"when?"
"Just now," Norbu said calmly:
"And I think that allowing His Highness to meet him may help the case progress."
At that moment, Raphael frowned and looked at Nobu, who looked back at the Bone Man calmly.
The two people in the secret department looked at each other in the air.
"Your Highness," Nobwen extended his hand to indicate:
"let's go?"
Thales looked at Raphael and moved forward decisively.
"honestly……"
Walking past the Barren Skeleton Man, Thales glanced at Raphael displeasedly and said sarcastically:
"What do I need you for, Cohen Karabyan?"
Raphael stood there, his expression as if he had sunk into an ice cellar.
Nobu smiled slightly, turned around and led the way:
"If you are worried, Raphael, you are welcome to accompany me."
He became friendly and humble again.
Raphael remained silent and expressionless.
The figures of the prince and Norbu gradually disappeared.
The Bone Man looked coldly at the "Black Messenger" Mason Zoneved in the portrait opposite. After a few seconds, he took steps and quickly followed.
Thales soon realized that where he was going was not simple.
They went around and around, and in an inconspicuous corner, they stepped onto a stone staircase sunk into the ground.
Different from the coldness on the ground, the underground corridor of the secret department is heavily guarded and locked up. The police Ludo dog sniffing has encountered several groups. Even with Raphael and Nobu clearing the way, Thales still feels that
Slow and difficult.
"Necessary security inspection," Norbu patiently explained while being inspected by a guard:
"Especially now that you're here, it's even more important."
Thales forced a smile and stared at a Ludo dog that was sniffing at him until it whimpered and backed away.
And when the guards opened a heavy iron gate and led them into another damp and smelly corridor, countless commotions came from the darkness on both sides:
"It's this point again - can you leave some room for those who want to sleep! Why, the fortress is lost, the northern border is lost, and now I have to lose my dignity as a diplomat!"
"Your Highness! Your Highness Midir! Are your legs and feet healed? That's great! I knew that those villains' plot to usurp the throne for money would not succeed... No, Your Highness, you must stop His Majesty. He cannot marry that man.
woman……"
"He came, with the devil's whispers, he came, with the conspiracy of the gods, he came, with the cruelest fate in the world..."
"They must have been lurking for a long time. They have secretly communicated with the rebels. They also want to rebel against the Duke, make him king, enter Yongxing City, and change the dynasty! Everyone, yes, all of them must have conspired to commit the murder.
Duke! Xinghui, Xinghui, long live Xinghui, someone, someone must pay the price..."
"Damn you bastard! I knew there was something wrong with that battle in the altar! Bullshit Conqueror of the Desert God Altar! Bullshit!"
"Listen to me, it's Saoirse, Princess Saoirse, it must be her! She has relatives in Vine City, and the people there specialize in herbal medicine, and they know this business best... and those profiteers from the Fragrance Chamber of Commerce,
They have always been dissatisfied with Prince Bank’s policies, and have been collaborating with the Blood Bottle Gang to stir up trouble..."
In the darkness, the figures in the cells on both sides could not be clearly seen, but the howls and cries were mixed together, making Thales uneasy.
"This is a special cell of the secret department. It's a little dark and a little complicated." Norbu turned a deaf ear and kept his expression unchanged:
"Please be patient."
Thales coughed lightly: "These people..."
"I have been convicted by the trial court a long time ago," Raphael took over:
"Should have been imprisoned for life in the Prison of Bones."
"But some people have special status, some still have some value, and some are not suitable to serve their sentences in places other than the Kingdom's Secret Service."
Norbu sighed:
"In the Blade Tooth Camp, if the driller is not dead, he should be escorted here at this moment."
Raphael glared at him:
"As you can see, many people are out of control - they have ghosts in their hearts and their will is naturally weak."
