Chapter 117: Only victory or defeat, not life or death
After all, Alleria is a key surveillance target of the intelligence bureau. This time she went to a sensitive area. It is impossible to let her go alone.
Considering Alleria's identity, strength, and gender, Claire naturally became her monitor, and by the way, Ally McDowell's monitor.
Rean and Claire's original intention was actually to hope that Ellie would trip up Alleria and prevent her from getting out of hand for the sake of her relatives.
This aspect is considered a success. In front of the somewhat similar Ellie, Alleria is still restrained. However, the majestic "Golden Rakshasa" is not a vegetarian. You use the kinship relationship to restrain me, and I will use this relationship to achieve the goal.
my purpose.
Directly break up the support department's affairs and the current situation, and then negotiate terms.
I can act as an intermediary to ensure that the people in the support department are safe this time, and that the government will not take advantage of it. In contrast, you can think of a way for me - I want to fight the "Wind Sword Master".
Don't worry, it's just a discussion, until the point is reached, only victory or defeat, not life or death.
Alleria herself is an unstable factor, and her strength is so strong that it affects the balance in the birdcage.
Ellie was afraid that Alleria would cause trouble when she went to the support department, and the imperial government was also worried that Alleria would cause trouble, but they couldn't use any means against her - her achievements in the battle against Macbon last night were there, and that was why Alleria was so successful.
Feeling confident, he dared to mention his "irresponsible thoughts" about going to the birdcage.
So both sides took a step back.
Claire took Alleria and Ellie to the core blockade, and Ellie came forward to help Alleria fight Arios.
If Alleria came alone, Arios might not be willing to see her. Arios is the current strength and backbone of the "Fugitive Group". In order to preserve combat effectiveness, it is normal to avoid meaningless battles.
Only Ellie, who is from the support department, can gain the trust of the "Fugitive Team". She uses the promise that she will not be targeted in the future to ask Arios for a chance to discuss.
Arios agreed and had a good fight with Alleria. The two extraordinary strong men fought for half a day.
Alleria then sheathed her sword and returned, while Ellie ran into the "Fugitive Group" when the two sides started fighting and never came out again.
Alleria didn't go looking for this distant relative either.
As for Claire, who is in charge of surveillance——
"Sorry, 'Yin' keeps staring at me. I can't go deeper."
"You should have expected this level of hindrance." Lecter smiled half-heartedly.
"Both each other." Claire's face was expressionless, "You should have predicted this outcome when you agreed that I would go alone. You have had many contacts with them, so it is impossible that you are not aware of the bond between them.
.”
"It's very clear." Lecter glanced at the smoking uncle next to him, "But you haven't been in contact with it. It's hard to have this kind of experience just by looking at the cold data. Or should you feel something similar from someone on the other side?
Where’s the contact?”
Claire's body trembled, and her original aura of fighting against Lecter became much weaker: "What are you talking about? I can't understand."
"If you don't understand it with your mouth, just understand it in your heart."
Lecter did not push too hard, walked up to Claire, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Since you care, then work hard - personally, I sincerely hope that you will fight for yourself, even if you will be in a different position in the future."
"!" Claire's pupils shrank and she was about to speak.
Rector had already distanced himself, waving as he walked towards the elevator: "I know you don't welcome me, so I'm going to have some fun myself. Please feel free to do so, distinguished guests."
Claire looked at Lecter's back, subconsciously bit her lip, quickly let go, turned around, nodded to the other people in the lobby, and walked up the stairs.
"Then I should go back and take a shower and take a rest."
Alleria turned around to leave, but was stopped by someone.
"Please, please wait a moment."
Alleria stopped and looked sideways at the person who stopped her. She was a female officer with short red hair.
"Who are you--"
"Noel Chica, Crossbell Guard, no, Military Police."
The female officer performed a military salute. Her straight stance and capable style were Alleria's favorite type of subordinate, and her expression was much gentler.
"What's your business?"
"I, I would like to ask about the outcome of the battle between His Excellency the 'Golden Rakshasa' and Mr. Arios... because I am really curious, so - please forgive my presumption."
Noel's question was also what everyone present wanted to ask.
Arios Marklein is the patron saint of Crossbell, the strongest local, and the pride of Crossbell warriors. This is the consensus of the entire Crossbell, even those who dislike Arios.
Everyone has to admit it.
No one present wanted Arios to lose.
Feeling everyone's attention, Alleria smiled: "It seems I'm not that popular either. Don't worry, as far as the results are concerned, I didn't win and he didn't lose."
"That's it..."
Noel just breathed a sigh of relief when Alleria said again:
"After all, at times like this, you can't completely let go."
"What... does this mean?" Noel was a little confused.
"It means that although both sides are serious about dueling, they both have reservations." The lazy middle-aged man put out his cigarette butt casually, "Probably to prevent the intelligence agency from going back on its promise. Anyway, thank you for not forcing Arios too much."
"Because my purpose is just to compare notes." Alleria said, looking at the middle-aged uncle with interest, "I know that you, Sergei Luo, the chief of the Secret Service Support Section, used to be the "Wind Sword"
Saint's boss is one of the few capable people in Crossbell - how about you fill in the missing parts of the battle?"
"It can't be made up." Sergei Luo immediately shook his head, "He was not as good as Arios before, and he is even worse now that he is older. If his partner is still alive, he can make up for the missing parts, so I'll forget it.
.”
"That's really a pity."
Alleria sighed, not knowing whether she was feeling sorry for the deceased or for Sergei.
"If anyone else has anything to ask, please ask."
"I have a question." The man with black-framed glasses stood up, "I am Dudley from the military police. I would like to know the outcome of this duel if there were no environmental factors."
"Then it depends on how the competition is going to be." Alleria thought for a while and said, "It's just a swordsmanship competition. I'm confident that I can win the final victory. If it's a life and death competition, the result should be similar to this time. If he wants to leave, I can't stop him.
Come on, this is the biggest advantage of a speed swordsman."
This was said out loud, but Alleria had another sentence that she didn't say.
Just because I can't stop it doesn't mean that others can't stop it. There is a monster in the empire who is above me. He is also a descendant of the "Hatsuba Itto Ryu" and is younger than the "Wind Sword Master".
