Joshua and Estelle entered the rest room of the grocery store and saw Dr. Russell, Tida and Ling.
The old man had already gotten up from the bed, moved his shoulders, and was doing some stretching exercises to restore his physical strength under Ling's guidance.
"Sister Estelle, brother Joshua, grandpa woke up." Tida shouted happily.
The two nodded and turned their attention to the old man.
"Dr. Russell, I'm so sorry. It was us who got you involved. If we hadn't brought the black power guide, the central workshop would not have been attacked." Joshua apologized to Russell
said the doctor.
"You young people, don't take everything upon yourself. That anonymous letter was originally meant to be sent to me. Even if it wasn't you, there would be other guerrillas who would send me the black guider. So don't
That’s it. So what did you find out? What are the identities of those men in black who attacked the central workshop?”
The man in black mentioned by Dr. Russell surprised Joshua and Estelle. Although they dismantled all the chimneys in the central workshop, they did not see any man in black. But they heard from Madoc
The workshop director said that some soldiers rushed here urgently after receiving the notice to understand the situation, and then left in a hurry.
"Doctor, the man in black you mentioned is the one wearing a black helmet that covers the entire upper half of his face?" Estelle asked.
"How do you know, Cassius's daughter?" Dr. Russell asked strangely.
The two guerrillas looked at each other and immediately thought of the group of people they had met at the Luan Lighthouse. They had heard Kirika say at the guerrilla association that Agathe had come to work in Chase, but they hadn't paid much attention to it now.
Come on, that red-haired brother has never stopped tracking the man in black from the beginning to the end.
"Doctor, can you tell us what you know first?"
"No problem, it was like this at the time..."
Dr. Russell actually didn't know much. Apart from the appearance of the men in black, their purpose was to take away the black force guide.
"To be honest, we have fought against them before. Those people are very hateful and help Mayor Delmon do evil. I didn't expect them to appear in Chase. I must catch them." Estelle spoke.
Clenching her fists tightly, she thought again of the children in the Manollia Orphanage who had lost their homes.
"It's better not to do that."
A rough man's voice came from outside the door. As the door opened, a somewhat embarrassed-looking red-haired guerrilla and a bear-like brown-haired man walked into the room.
"Ah, Senior Agathe?" Estelle was surprised by the sudden appearance of the red-haired brother, and at the same time, she also focused her attention on the unseen man next to him who looked older than them all.
"I am Jin Vasek. I am a guerrilla from the Republic, and I am now working with Agathe." Jin briefly introduced himself.
"Brother Jin is an A-level guerrilla, and his experience and strength are far superior to mine." Agathe added.
"What is A-level?" Estelle asked curiously.
"It is the standard for measuring the level of a full-time guerrilla. From the lowest level G to level A, there are seven levels." Joshua explained to her.
"Ah! So powerful! Then isn't level A the highest level? Brother Jin... is actually such a powerful guerrilla."
Jin was A-level, which made Estelle look sideways for a while.
"Huh..." At this time, Joshua noticed that Agathe's steps were a little light and heavy.
"Brother Agathe, your giant sword... is broken?"
Joshua looked carefully and saw that only half of the force-guiding sword behind Agathe was left.
At the same time, while the adults were chatting, the children felt quite out of place.
"The brothers and sisters of the guerrillas seem to be discussing a very serious topic. Tida, should we leave the room first?" Ling said to Tiida, and at the same time, she raised her voice to a level that everyone present could hear.
"That... Ling-chan..."
Several eyes focused on Ling who spoke and Tida who stood beside her. This was the first time for Agathe and Jin to see these two little girls. It seemed that some memories were brought back. Agathe frowned.
He frowned. His ferocious gaze made Tida shrink behind Ling, and Ling calmly helped Tida block most of the sight from the red cock head.
Joshua and Estelle were also curious about why Ling was here, but they didn't ask before seeing how familiar she was with Russell's grandparents.
"No, there is no need. Since this is the case, you two are not irrelevant. Needless to say, Tida, you are my granddaughter. I heard from Tida that it was Xiaolian who rescued me from the central workshop.
Those who came out, in this case, might have been targeted by those people." Dr. Russell showed off his aura as the mayor of Chase, and asked Ling and Tida to listen to the information.
"Now that the old man said this, it makes perfect sense. But this is not the place for conversation. If you don't mind, we might as well go to the Guerrilla Association in Chase City to continue this topic." Jin, as the highest-ranking guerrilla present, gave the order.
Judgment, everyone moved their positions.
The operator of the Chase branch of the Guerrilla Association was Wuxiang Loulan, a beauty from the East. She seemed to have been prepared for the arrival of several people and directly arranged a place for them to hold a conversation.
"Dr. Russell, you are okay. This is really a blessing among misfortunes. And Jin, you did such a dangerous thing with Agathe without saying a word. If I hadn't received the communication from Wolfe Fortress, I wouldn't have known about you.
We have arrived at the Kingdom of Liber."
"I'm sorry, Wuxiang." Jin touched his head and admitted his mistake frankly to this junior sister's criticism.
"I'm going to trouble you again, Wuxiang. I was probably listed as a target too, thanks to this girl who rescued me." Russell pointed at Ling who was following behind.
Dr. Russell was very familiar with the Guerrilla Association. His son-in-law, Tida's father, had served as a guerrilla for the Grancel branch of the Kingdom of Libert ten years ago. Dr. Russell and Cassius
One of the reasons why they are so familiar with each other is because Dan is the teacher who taught Cassius the stick technique.
"I heard that the empire is a martial artist, but I didn't expect you to have such good skills, Dr. Astley."
Wuxiang's name for a certain person confused everyone present. When others followed Wuxiang's gaze and focused their attention on Ling, expressions of surprise and uncertainty appeared on several people's faces.
"Are you kidding, such a kid?" Agathe's face was full of disbelief.
"Eh, hey hey hey...Ling-chan, didn't you say you were an intern at the Imperial Academy?" Tida looked confused.
"That name, that's not the person who wrote that book." Dr. Russell is also quite familiar with this name. He has the first and second volumes of "Astley's Lectures" on his bookshelf, but he doesn't have them.
Thinking that the author would be such a little girl, he always thought that someone who would engage in such profound research must be an old man similar to him.
Joshua's pupils suddenly shrank. That last name...how could it be possible? There are so many people in the world, so it's not surprising that they have the same last name. He shook his head, thinking it was just a coincidence.
"Sister Wuxiang is so well-versed in information. I thought no one would know about me outside of Luray City."
"A subject leader who pioneered the field of basic research at Luray Institute of Technology, and is currently the director of the fourth development office of the Lineforte Group. It may be an unfamiliar name to ordinary people, but this is the industrial city of Chase, which is based on science and technology.
It’s strange to be boastful if you don’t know. To be honest, I was also shocked when you came into contact with Dr. Russell four days ago. What is your purpose of coming to Liber Kingdom?”
"I'm no longer the director. I resigned in August. Now I'm just an ordinary traveler. I'm an old acquaintance of Professor Yaruva from Imperial Academy, so I acted with him. Appeared in
Whether it’s Chase or meeting and saving Dr. Russell, it’s just a coincidence. Besides, the brothers and sisters of the Guerrilla still have important topics to talk about, don’t they?”
"No, actually I'm quite curious too. If it were an ordinary traveler, it would be fine, but judging from the attitudes of Wuxiang and Dr. Russell, Xiaolian, you should be a famous person. To be honest, I just met you a few minutes ago.
So I’m a bit presumptuous, I wonder if you could introduce yourself?”
Jinvasek's words also represented the meaning of other guerrillas. Everyone nodded.
And Tida pursed her lips, acting like "Ling will never forgive you if she doesn't tell the truth."
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. Sister Wuxiang, don't you know? It's up to you and I'll add some more."
Ling didn't realize what the problem was at first, but she soon figured out the key. Dr. Russell was the backbone of Chase City, and Ling, a "stranger", stayed at Tida's house for three nights.
, it will inevitably attract the attention of interested people. When in front of Tida, she did not deliberately conceal her existence as before. When she went to various shopping malls on weekends, the information was already being passed on. She has always told the outside world
The only thing she concealed was her side as an enforcer. Apart from the people in the association, the only two people who knew her identity as an enforcer were Irina and Tio. Ling did not deliberately hide her side as a scholar. It would be better to say that this was
She deliberately established an image in the eyes of others. With so many students taking her classes, she knew that someone must have left photos and other records. And it was normal for these records to be spread to the Guerrilla Association.
"Dr. Astre, a native of Shasarant in the Erebonia Empire. Born in 1185. After graduating from the Torz Military Academy as a top student in 1199, he entered Luray University of Technology as an assistant. In 1200
Invited to become the director of the newly established Fourth Development Office of Linefort. After publishing a paper in 1201, she obtained a doctorate in chemistry. Her research revealed the truth behind many things that people took for granted, so she was very famous in academia and in the empire.
He is regarded as another national treasure-level genius scholar after Dr. G. Schmidt. This is the only information the association has collected."
"Huh? 1185... isn't that 17 years old, older than me?" Estelle looked at Ling, who was about the same age as Tida, with a look of disbelief.
"Ling-chan, didn't you say you were 13 years old before..." Tiida was also a little dizzy.
"Did you lie about your age when you were in school? Hello, how old are you?" This was Agathe's question.
"The girl's age is a secret. Apart from her age, other information is basically correct. But please don't call me Doctor. Just call me Xiaolian like before."
Tida was still a little dissatisfied with Ling's avoidance of the question of how old she was, but after discovering that the first thing she knew was Ling's real name, her dissatisfaction dissipated a lot. At least compared to others, she was the first to know.
of.
"Lian, it seems that you, like the performer, came to Liebel with some purpose that is not convenient for the public to disclose. In this case, I will not go into details."
Hearing the nickname of a certain scoundrel from Kirika's mouth made Ling surprised again. She didn't expect that she even knew such a thing. Presumably, she also knew the true intention of Oribat coming to the Kingdom of Liber to contact Cassius.
Right. The source of Wu Xiang’s intelligence is the entire Guerrilla Association all over the mainland. The Guerrilla Association actually does not have a specialized intelligence department, but the information it can collect is no less than any other country. In the original plot, Wu Xiang can
Being poached by the Republic to be the head of the intelligence agency not only has the intention of using the information from the Guerrilla Association, but also shows that she has extremely strong intelligence capabilities. She is not powerful after becoming the intelligence chief, but she is poached because she is powerful enough.
.In a sense, Wuxiang should have seen what Richard did in the Kingdom of Libel, and did not interfere purely because she was not from the Kingdom, but from the Republic? As a foreigner, for Libel,
Bale’s historical process is like watching a drama?
She was not on the side of Liberel Kingdom. After thinking about this, Ling felt relieved about Kirika. At least for now, they should not become enemies.
"Since Sister Wuxiang knows about my situation, she should have heard that I am good friends with the daughter-in-law of the Rogner family. Angelica misses you as a master very much. She has not seen you for five years.
You. I heard that her Dragon Divine Skill has reached the advanced level and can display golden fighting spirit."
"Are you okay? It seems that she has put in a lot of hard work over the years."
"Hey, hey, I can't pretend I didn't hear you. Wuxiang, it turns out that you have recruited disciples abroad. How come I haven't heard you mention it at all."
Don't pretend you haven't heard the words "Kin Tairyu Divine Technique". Although Kirika, who arrived at Ukujiden, was already qualified to accept disciples, she never listed her disciples under the name of Taito-ryu, so Jin didn't know until
Today is the first time I heard that I have such a nephew.
"Don't worry, I've tested that child's character, and she's much more reliable than any of us. It's just because of her identity that it's not appropriate to make this matter public now. You heard what Xiaolian said just now, right?
Marquis, the heir to one of the four most famous families in the empire, and the future Marquis of Rogner. From the perspective of a master, would you choose to make it public now that she is a member of our leading family?"
"Well, that's it. Marquis Rogner is in charge of the customs in the northeast of the empire, and is across the mountain from the northwest army of the Republic on the Norder Plateau. The Republic must put pressure on the division. I didn't think it through well.
.”
No one else present could understand what Kirika and Jin were talking about. They were all from Liberia and didn't know much about the distant Erebonia. Ling, the only one who could understand, found that she seemed to be talking too much?
"Haha, Xiaolian, don't mind. Even without you, An will soon let others know about his martial arts skills. The iconic fighting spirit of our Dragon God Skill cannot be hidden from the eyes of caring people. Okay,
A lot of time was wasted, now it’s time to get down to business.”
After Ling's "true identity" was clarified, Dr. Russell seemed to have a lot to say to Ling. It didn't take much to think about it, but he knew that it must be some academic doubts. But compared with those, the purpose of the black force guide and the identity of the man in black
The true identity was the focus of everyone's attention in Liber. Except for Joshua, who wanted to ask Ling something but couldn't hold back, no one else planned to pursue it further.
Because her status as a scholar lowered everyone's vigilance, Ling was still included in the meeting as before.
Wu Xiang placed a sign of closure outside the gate of the Guerrilla Association, and then led everyone to the soundproof conference room on the third floor of the Guerrilla Association.
