Chapter 352 You are all laughing
The gear-shaped door catch on the oak-paneled iron door shook twice. Horn knew it was Paslik when he heard this rough knocking method.
"Pasric?" Horn stopped Rene who was informing Mormont and other wizards about their origins, and asked outside the door.
"Who is Paslik? I am Crispa." Paslik's old voice sounded from outside the door.
Horn waved to René, then waved to Du Vallon at the door, and the gendarme standing by the door opened the door to the study.
"Come in." Horn said to Paslik who was standing by the door.
Paslik walked in from the door carelessly, sat down opposite Horn unceremoniously, and coughed twice: "Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"
< br>"Pfft!"
Paslik looked at Busak next to him in surprise: "What are you laughing at?"
"I suddenly remembered something funny." In a moment After he stopped holding back, Busak put on his original poker face.
"Crispa, tell me honestly, are you the Archmage Paslik?" Horn gave Paslik one last chance.
"No! Who is Paslik? My name is Crispa."
Horn sat on the chair, watching his performance helplessly.
Actually, he has never understood that since you have to disguise your identity, you should disguise it better. With a name like Crispa, isn't it possible to tell who it is at a glance?
But Paslik was still very confident in his disguised identity, thinking that others could not see it.
If you are exposed, you will refuse to admit it and pretend to be unexposed to save your respect.
In that case, don’t blame Horn.
"Pa...ah, Crispa, I have to inform you of important news." Horn put down the quill in his hand, "About Black Snake Bay."
"Black Snake Bay, weren't they blocked by the Red Copper Fortress?" Paslik asked in surprise, "After the fall of Fort Joan, they should have blocked all the main roads."
"Yes, but the Sand Sculpture Knight Niedersall has a wizard slave camp. There was a riot a few days ago, and four wizards ran out. They were recently captured in Sour Melon Town.
They brought two letters, one to the captured Kush knight and one to a mysterious man named Paslik. "
"What...me? Oh no no, Paslik? "Paslik fidgeted and coughed.
"Both letters were opened and checked by the Cheka. The first one was a letter from the Arko family, which basically asked the Kush knights to hold on. , the war will definitely end before August, and we will redeem them then. "
Horn put aside the letters from the knights and picked up another letter: "This letter was determined by the Cheka not to leak or transmit secrets. Since it was a private letter, I didn't read it... ”
When he said this, Horn could clearly see that Paslik breathed a sigh of relief, and his leaning body leaned back on the chair again.
"But since we don't have Paslik here, let's put it aside for the time being."
"No, maybe you can find it if you keep looking. I'll help you find it." Trying to get the letter, Horn grabbed it first.
"Good idea." Horn opened the letter, "I'll read it once, and you can help me read the details to see who it is..."
"Ahem, cough, cough, wait...wait. For a moment." Paslik's expression changed drastically.
Before he could stop him, Horn read aloud: "Dear Pani, yo, this nickname is quite sentimental, Pani..."
"Wait, wait, wait." Paslik, who was blushing and thick-necked, jumped up helplessly, "Okay, okay, don't read it yet, I know who Paslik is."
He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Oh, I didn't expect that I kept this secret for so long and no one found out. I had to tell it in the end."
Stand up straight. After losing his body, Paslik looked like he had revealed the answer to the mystery: "I admit, Paslik is me... my alias!"
It's a pity that no one present, not even the military police, showed their faces. A look of surprise.
“Oh, so Crispa is Paslik’s pseudonym?” Busak answered as if he suddenly understood.
"Yes...oh no, no, no, no." Paslik looked at the smiling eyes of the people around him and puffed up his chest, "Paslik is Paslik's pseudonym...Paslik is K. Rispa’s alias!”
Even the military policeman next to him couldn’t help but chuckle.
Seeing Paslik's embarrassed look, Horn stopped embarrassing him. After all, it was just a small prank, and he didn't really want to humiliate Paslik.
“It turns out it’s you, wouldn’t it be better if you said no earlier?”
Although he didn’t know the significance of Paslik’s insistence on a pseudonym and a false identity, Horn still took the letter and the copy They were handed to Paslik.
Paslik opened the letter and read it openly and quickly. At first, his complexion was normal, but then he suddenly turned red, and then he frowned again.
"Your Majesty..."
"What is it?"
"There is important news that I have to tell you." "What?"
Paslik carefully stuffed the original letter into his arms, took out the copy of the letter, tore off a fragment and handed it to Horn.
"...remember? After my husband died, we got married for the first time. It was in autumn. If there is a chance, this summer I...uh uh..."
< br>Horn read it softly and subconsciously.
"Hurrah!" Du Valon next to him immediately whistled an ambiguous whistle.
Under Paslik's fierce eyes, Duvalon suppressed a smile and moved his gaze elsewhere, studying the new patterns on the wall.
Horn looked at Paslik blankly: "Are you showing off?"
Even Paslik's cheeky face turned slightly red: "Your Majesty, this is not showing off, I This... lover is a shy girl. She rarely writes this in her letters. "
"Okay, your topic is getting more and more popular. Just be happy yourself and don't have to worry about everything. I'll report." Even Horn was embarrassed by Paslik.
Is this what we should talk about in this situation? You are so old, why are you still having such fun?
Paslik coughed lightly: "Actually, my lover is a noblewoman from Jinhe Township. I suspect that she is passing on information to us."
"Intelligence? What intelligence? Why is she passing on information to you?"
When it comes to the war on the front line, Horn's distracted expression suddenly stopped. He stood up and stared at Paslik. .
“Although she is a noble daughter, her family made their fortune through smuggling with Black Snake Bay, so she can barely be considered a force on our side, and I am willing to guarantee this!”
Horn After glancing at René, René understood the situation and drove all the servants and gendarmes in the room out of the door.
Rene walked to the window, looked around, and then nodded towards Horn.
"Tell me carefully."
"After her husband died, the first time we got together was in winter, at her home, but our first appointment was in autumn, in Montenegro."
“What do you mean?”
“Why did she write to me at this unseasonable time? Why should she show a different attitude than usual? Why use such an unusual Why do you need to pass the message to me through several wizard fugitives?
She asked me to meet in Montenegro in the summer. It felt like she was hinting at the location of Montenegro. You see, the Alcor family also sent messages to the Kush Knights. We promise to end the war before August ”
After closing his eyes and recalling the map, Horn then opened his eyes: "Are the Sand Sculpture Knights ready for a head-on battle? But this location in Black Mountain...ah, no, this is right!"
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, He slapped his forehead suddenly: "The army rations were burned, and Niedersall had to advance, but he didn't want to destroy the original tactics of disturbing the enemy, so he chose Montenegro."
If this is true, at present, The efficiency gap between the two sides, and through this information gap, Horn believed that the Salvation Army could definitely occupy a strategic advantage, but...
"Is this news reliable? Are you sure it's not a smoke bomb released by the other side." Rene, who was standing by and listening, suddenly spoke.
"It's reliable." After finishing speaking, Paslik rubbed his brow vigorously and said hesitantly, "But it's best to investigate first."
After thinking for a while, Horne immediately made the decision: "Inform Jeanne on the front line and send hussars to conduct reconnaissance in the Montenegro area."
Pressing the armrest of the seat, Paslik stood up: "I will go there myself. Let's go."
"Okay." Horn also stood up and patted his shoulder seriously, "Be careful, you are quite old now."
< br>"Okay...huh?" Paslik narrowed his eyes suspiciously, why did he feel that there was something in his words.
He stood up, walked to the door and suddenly turned around, and saw the still serious Horn.
"What's wrong?" After sorting out the documents, Horn looked up strangely, "What's the matter?"
Blinking his eyes, Paslik thought he had seen it wrong, so he pushed the door open and walked out.
“Click——”
“Hahahahahahaha.”
Turning his head suddenly, Paslik grabbed the door handle and pushed the door in. What he saw was But it was Boussac, Du Vallon and others who were still reporting.
"Do you have anything else?"
"No, no more." After scanning the room, Paslik closed the door.
"Click——"
"Hahahahaha——"
Paslik did not push the door again this time, but his old face turned red from suppressing it, and he walked quickly Under the gaze of the military police, he quickly ran towards the stable at the door.
