After returning from the swordsmanship competition, Renn observed the situation near the desperate town for a while and found that the situation was a bit subtle.
The World Congress has dispatched a large number of troops to station in this area. It can be seen that after receiving the warning from Bangsells, they have been mentally prepared to fight, but they rarely see people from other forces.
After searching around, Ren found some clues. Around another town dozens of miles away, he found a small, so-called second line of defense, a coalition composed of troops from various kingdoms.
Alexia said that the top combat power of each tribe is not weak, and it is more than enough to send some to stop those bugs, but now it seems that everyone is not in the same mind.
Ren thought for a moment and understood what those people were thinking.
Don't they know that an extremely dangerous existence is about to appear? But the mountains are high and far away, and it is not happening in their own territory. Naturally, it is best to let others take the lead.
What happened before happened again, and this time it was the World Parliament that was pushed to the forefront.
Renn was a little helpless. In the final analysis, the World Parliament was just a group of interests. It usually did a lot of dirty work. It seemed to be very powerful, but when it came to this kind of life and death moment, it couldn't command anyone.
Now these people are just here to deliver food.
And there was another point that concerned him very much. The mutation of the rot worms was still a mystery, so he had to take precautions.
Renn had a hunch that that might be the biggest threat he would face in the future.
After talking to Alexia on the phone about what he saw here and his own opinions, the other party asked him to go back to Brica first.
"Well, I saw your performance on TV. That sword really needs some repairs. I happened to be researching...a little gadget recently."
Although Renn is worried about the situation here, firstly, he must sharpen his knife to chop wood. It is unpredictable when those bugs will rush out. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to make some preparations. Secondly, this battle
, the role he can play is limited, just like in the desperate grassland, if those insects use the bear god's corpse, they can pretend that he does not exist.
After making up his mind, Renn planned to rush back to Brica non-stop, but when he was passing through the city of Winston, he was approached by an unexpected person.
He had just arrived in Winston City and was about to take a rest before leaving. The police inspector who had originally entrusted him to help recover the 100 million stolen money Dodd had hidden appeared in front of him.
After the two of them sat down in the cafe inside the airport, the young police inspector named Litchifer asked about Renne's recent situation with a smile on his face, as if he was very familiar with Renne.
Lane was wary of this person. Although he looked like a spring breeze and was kind-hearted, like the kind of person who would appear on police posters, Lane always
I think he gives people a weird feeling.
"The prisoner must be very afraid of him."
This was Renn's feeling after he briefly came into contact with Richifer. The strange thing was that the other party had always maintained a respectful and polite attitude towards him.
So when he left, Lane reminded Weller to be a good person in the future. It was more than just a simple sentence to persuade people to change their ways.
However, at that time, Ren regarded him as a random person and did not think that there would be a chance to meet him in the future. The fact that the other person was a little weird had nothing to do with him. He did not expect to meet again so soon.
And this time, as soon as he arrived in Winston, Litchifer came to his door, probably waiting for him.
So after a few polite words, Renn got straight to the point and asked the other party why he was looking for him.
Litchford pressed a rectangular piece of metal on the table with the index finger of his left hand, and pinched the edge of the metal piece with his thumb and middle finger, flicking it and turning it slowly.
The metal block is about the size of a dog tag, but thicker, and has square corners. The surface can shine on people, and you can clearly see the reflected scene on it.
The last time we were at the police station, the other party also had this habit. Maybe it was because of this that Ren felt weird?
Although Richie was very polite and had a smile on his face, when he spoke, his eyes were always on the piece of metal and he rarely faced the person he was speaking to. The same is true now:
"I'm just grateful that Mr. Lane will be returning to Bricka in the next few days, so I'm waiting here to catch up on old times. I recently accepted an invitation and there will be some changes at work. I will be leaving Winston tomorrow. Originally, I
I thought maybe it was a mistake, but I didn't expect that I finally met Mr. Lane."
"Mr. Litchifer, have you been promoted?"
Litchifer smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not a promotion. I just met a person by chance and accepted his invitation to go to his place to help with some things. Although I think you, Mr. Lane, are that person,
I should know him, but please forgive me for not revealing his identity due to the agreement. I hope you can understand."
"Um."
Renn didn't show too much concern, but in his heart he couldn't help but guess who the person he said he knew was. It was only because of that person that Richiffer waited for him. But the scope was too large, and he really couldn't guess anything.
.
"But how did you guess that I would go back to Brica these days?" Renn went back mainly to find Alexia to repair the Allenville sword. He couldn't figure out how Litchifer guessed him.
of itinerary.
"Of course." Lichever said with a smile: "Resburg has started school in the past two days, but Mr. Lane seems to be unable to make it. In addition, the situation in Bricka has been turbulent recently, and the top management has been almost wiped out, and the vacancies have not been filled until now.
.The newly appointed Speaker has drastically deleted all the rules, and Bricka is now in chaos. I think Mr. Lane, as a capable person, should go back to help."
Renn saw similar reports on the news on the way, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. Then he thought about it. Rebuilding Bricka might be difficult for others, but it would definitely not be difficult for Alexia. No.
He needs to worry about it.
Just listening to Richie's tone, Ren felt that he seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Alexia and the policies she adopted.
Litchford observed Renn's expression through the scene reflected by the metal block, and found that he paused slightly for what he said, and then showed relief that did not seem to be fake, thinking that Renn was in such a short period of time.
Within a short period of time, I had a clear understanding of the situation in Bricka and had a strategy to deal with it. I was silent for a while, not knowing what I was thinking. After I recovered, I turned to other topics.
Ren was in a hurry, and after sitting for a while, the two of them ended their conversation. When they left, Litchfort told him with a smile: "If nothing else, there will be a chance to meet in the future, and we will talk then."
It was like a polite word, but his extremely affirmative tone made Ren even more curious about whose invitation Richiffer accepted and what he was going to do.
Unfortunately, the current focus still has to be on dealing with the problem of rot worms, and we can only "discuss it later" about Litchifer.
