Alicia's tone was still so calm, even though the guess was terrifying.
No. 138 Rose Street is the home of Zerrell Victor Lee, who appears to be a detective but is actually a Fusac intelligence officer.
Rawls picked up the coffee cup and looked at the dark brown coffee liquid with seemingly unfocused eyes. It seemed that Ian had discovered clues to Hermoshuin's third-generation differential engine manuscript and told Zerrell to report it later.
, and the result was known to the Intis Embassy.
In order to avoid being punished, Backlund, who had no way out, had to obtain the manuscript, so he sent out the "Secret Puppet Master" Rosago. But what is the identity of Rosago in No. 138? Zerrell
?
Because this plot has been completely messed up, Rawls can only make it clear now that Zerrell is not dead, after all, the contract between the two has not disappeared.
"Is there a man with tawny hair in No. 138?"
"Yes, that is Rosago."
Do you even know the name? It seems that the person who secretly instigated the conflict between the Intis embassy and the Spiritual Religion is indeed Alicia, but what is her purpose of doing this? What does she want in the embassy?
Taking a sip of the slightly sour cheap coffee made Rawls more awake. Sometimes, low-quality coffee is much better than high-quality coffee.
No longer thinking about what Alicia did before, or what is more important now, so now Rosago is secretly pretending to be Zerrell, waiting for Ian to take the bait?
So where did the real Zairel go? Was he secretly imprisoned somewhere? The Embassy of Intis?
It's unlikely. Rawls shook his head. After what happened last time, even those people in MI9 should know that Ambassador Backlund has many little tricks and must be secretly monitored for a period of time.
Although the current development is almost the same as in the plot, except that the Zimenger Party has been dismembered, Backlund cannot let those people arrest Ian. But there is something wrong with Rolls' trace, but I can't tell what is wrong.
I wonder if the "Rod of Justice" can divine Zeriel's location now?
Moreover, the cane was still with Alicia. After licking her lips, Rawls asked with some confusion:
"How's that cane? Can it be used now?"
Alicia did not reply, but took out the silver purse inlaid with broken bricks. After opening it, the head of the staff was of clear gold and silver colors. The upper half of the staff was dark, and the lower half was covered with gold as if it were a flowing liquid. The shape
The gorgeous and strange cane flew out and floated in front of Rawls.
Looking at the golden liquid that was still flowing, Rawls sighed. Even if the cane could be used, he did not dare to use it, so he changed his mind and continued to ask:
"Do you have any means of divination?"
If this were a game, Rawls' "lawyer" path would be a standard auxiliary profession, with various DEBUFF bonuses. In addition to the poor output, the lack of various means is also the "shortcoming" of this path.
"No." Alicia shook her head. Extraordinaries of the "Arbiter" pathway have no bonus to divination, and as a favored one of the "Uncertain Mist", they seem to have no talent in this area.
Didn't you answer too simply? Rawls looked at the "Staff of Fairness" floating in front of him and Alicia sitting opposite like a wax figure. He couldn't ask Klein for divination anymore, could he?
Without something related to it, even the blessing from Klein's Source Castle is useless!
"what you up to?"
I want to make money, I want to make a lot of money. Rawls looked at Alicia across from him and did not say these words. To be honest, he is not short of money now, and he still has two "Psychic Tutor" leftovers in his hand.
As long as you find the right way, you can always sell it for 20,000 to 30,000 pounds.
After all, these two extraordinary characteristics cover Sequence 9 to Sequence 6. Coupled with the particularity of the "Death" pathway, except for the restraint of the "Sun" pathway Extraordinary, most pathways are still difficult to deal with undead attacks.
provide effective defense.
Of course, before that, it's best to find someone to crush these two characteristics and let them aggregate into each sequence of characteristics, so that you can sell it at a good price. And you can even entrust Alicia in front of you to do this.
But this kind of money cannot be shown openly, especially for a family like Rawls who puts all their income on the bright side. Once they spend too much money from unknown sources, they will definitely be criticized by the people of the New Party, even if
Even the Conservative Party will ask him about the source of his funds.
This is the price of being in politics!
"What are you afraid of? It shouldn't be difficult for you to see that I have no ill intentions towards you, otherwise you wouldn't be able to still sit here and talk to me."
Alicia looked indifferent and looked at Rawls who was deliberately showing embarrassment and continued:
"From what I just said, you should be able to judge that it was I who placed the bronze whistle of the Spiritual Religion in the Intis embassy. Although some rituals were rebuilt there, it did not stop me.'
The Free Wanderer has given me the ability to travel through the spiritual world at will and block induction. With His blessing, there is nothing that can stop me."
Rawls crossed his fingers and leaned back on the chair. He understood what Alicia meant. First, it would not be detrimental to him. Second, she could enter and exit the Intis Embassy at will to help Rawls investigate some matters.
Under these two meanings, Alicia vaguely intends to become a pawn of Rawls, even if she pays a serious price.
This made Rawls a little panicked. The changes were too fast. What was the reason that Alicia was so worthy of her efforts? Did he think that he was the reincarnation of the "Uncertain Mist"? This is Western fantasy, not a world of cultivation.
!
Rawls said vaguely:
"It's not necessary yet, I don't have any specific ideas yet."
…
North District, 66 Dalton Street.
Under the skillful operation of the coachman, a carriage stopped smoothly. He jumped off the carriage and opened the carriage. Sitting in the carriage was a little boy with a tiger-like head and a pair of dark eyes looking at the carriage driver curiously.
The little boy was probably less than ten years old. It could be seen from his clothes that he was born into a wealthy family. However, the pants he wore were obviously not in line with Backlund's popular style. They were a pair from the Rhoside Islands or the Southern Continent.
Popular wide leg pants.
The coachman showed a friendly smile on his face, said some flattering words, stretched out his hand to help the little boy with some mobility difficulties and walked down, and said to the back:
"Sir, I'll do it."
Then he smiled at the little boy who had some inconvenience on his left leg and said:
"I have always heard that although the Rhoside Islands are rich, there are many snakes and insects. You should know better when you live there. How can you get bitten by snakes? Just be careful!"
This coachman is probably in his forties. He has entered old age in this era. He does not want to do this kind of unstable and extremely energy-consuming job. He wants to become a coachman for a wealthy family.
, a stable job allows him to spend the rest of his life with peace of mind.
The family he had just picked up from the station was very nice. According to them, they were from Bayam, the "City of Generosity" in the Rhoad Islands. Their only son was bitten by a rare silver snake. Because of Bayam's medical condition
It was not good enough, so I chose to come to Backlund for treatment, and I planned to settle here in the future.
So this coachman tried hard to use two words that were obviously not very smooth, hoping to leave a good impression on the family and let them hire him as a private coachman.
The coachman slowed down his pace, held his little hand, adapted to the little boy's jumping steps, and talked behind him from time to time.
"Yes, the doctors at Backlund Medical College are very good, but their fees are a little more expensive, but it's nothing for a family like yours."
"Ah, a famous doctor? I don't know much about this, but I heard someone say before that a doctor named Alan Kress is very good."
Suddenly the little boy stopped, looked south, with a naughty smile on his young face, and then continued to jump forward.
"May I have your name?"
"Morinth Ryze."
"Then your name is Maurice Auceptin now, okay?"
"OK."
"Then please be my temporary parent."
Coachman Maurice Reitz, no, it should be Maurice Ausetin now, holding the little boy's hand and walking into No. 66 Dalton Street.
The old horse behind him snorted and pulled the carriage to a stop.
…
When the red moon rose and shone on the only Loen building that incorporated Intis style in the West District, a flame suddenly rose in the hall of the building, then extinguished, and was replaced by a human figure.
After the figure and the few guards who emerged nodded, they walked straight to a certain room in the building without stopping, knocked on the door and walked in.
"Still no news?"
Backlund, who was wearing an Intis-style shirt and a vest, had a slight stubble on his face. He leaned forward and looked at the person who came in through the door, with an anxious look in his eyes.
After closing the door, the figure's face squirmed, and a man's face with black hair and blue eyes appeared. He had a handsome face and a faint trace of beard. He was none other than "Secret Puppet Master" Rosago.
After hearing what Backlund said, Rosago shook his head helplessly. He had been pretending to be Zerrell for two weeks, but he still hadn't waited for the boy named Ian to report the clues to the Hermoshuin manuscript.
.
Backlund closed his eyes and fell back, leaning against the back of the chair. After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at Rosago, and continued to ask:
"Are you sure that boy has clues to the Hermoshuin manuscript?"
Rosago frowned. As the greatest scientist, mathematician, mechanist, and father of the second-generation difference engine after Emperor Russell, the whereabouts of Hermoshuin has always been of special concern to the four countries in the Northern Continent.
The kind that would rather let him die than fall into the hands of the enemy.
Apart from himself, his manuscript is also the focus of the intelligence organizations of various countries. No one can confirm what fantastic ideas Hermoshuin's manuscript contains and whether it will have any impact on the fighting methods of various countries.
More than 20 years ago, Intis's six-barreled machine guns and high-pressure steam rifles directly sent the cavalry regiment into hell, so that the subsequent battlefield could no longer be an active stage for the knights.
When Backlund and Rosago first came to Loen, they heard that Backlund seemed to have a manuscript of Hermoshuin, and it was not an ordinary manuscript, but a manuscript involving the third generation difference engine.
This made both of them extremely happy at the time, but after a long investigation and a great deal of material and energy, no useful clues were found, so they had to give up.
But some time ago, someone infiltrated the embassy and later lost a military attache to Backlund. Although the Loen side did not catch him, it was enough for Backlund to be transferred back to Intis.
In order to avoid punishment, Backlund dug up this clue and asked Rosago to continue to pursue clues about the Hermoshuine manuscript. It was originally just a last resort, but unexpectedly Rosago actually found the clue.
Although it is still just a vague clue, it just says that Hermoshuin's manuscript may be in the Bridge District. But the Bridge District is so big, how can it be possible to find the manuscript in a short time?
But when Rosago was wandering around the bridge area, he discovered that the group of half-year-old children under Feysac's intelligence agent Zerrell were suspicious and seemed to be looking for something. After Rosago passed divination, he discovered that the clues in the manuscript were related to Zerrell's.
It is related to one of Riel's children named Ian Wright.
After some discussions between Backlund and Rosago, and confirmation from the spies planted in the Fusac intelligence organization, this information had not yet been reported, they immediately made a decision to let Rosago observe Zerrell first, and then
Just pretend to be Zerrell and wait until Ian Wright comes to your door automatically.
The plan went well. After a brief observation, Rosago used his "faceless man" ability to disguise himself as Zerrell. The real Zerrell was secretly imprisoned in a house and "punished" by the defense attache.
Knight” interrogated Josep.
The result of the interrogation was somewhat surprising. Zerrell did not know anything about the Hermoshuin manuscript, and it was not clear whether he had any relevant clues about Ian Wright.
But having reached this point, neither Backlund nor Rosago could retreat. They could only think that Ian Wright had obtained the clue, but had not yet reported it. So Rosago could only continue to play Zerrell,
Wait for Ian to take the initiative to send clues to the door.
But two weeks have passed, and Ian has not appeared, and Rosago, who does not have Ian's belongings, has no way to confirm where he is.
"I did another divination before I came here. The boy named Ian is still related to Hermoshuin's manuscript. Maybe he saw something was wrong and didn't tell 'Zeriel'."
Rosago believed that he had no problem with his performance. He had already seen all the children under Zerrell except Ian. He even secretly sent some people to secretly follow those children, but there was still no trace of Ian.
It was as if he disappeared out of thin air.
Backlund closed his eyes and said after a while:
"Joseph also confirmed that Zerrell did not lie. You have also done divination. So can you tell me what the problem is?"
