Chapter 859 90. Words in Blood
Knowing that people who were not his subjects had united to deceive him, Crowe's mood eased and he leaned back on the throne.
"Where is our intelligence department, what are they doing?"
"They are asking the newspaper..."
Claude laughed angrily: "What do you mean? Yes, our information is not as good as that of the newspaper?”
"Your Majesty, the Ratmen have blocked our borders, and we cannot communicate with the outside world via land."
Cloe waved in disinterest.
The waitress next to her came to the steps holding a tobacco bottle. Crowe leaned forward and took a deep breath from the spout, his eyes gradually becoming confused in the light green smoke.
A hoarse voice sounded: "So, eh...what do you want to do?"
The minister lowered his head: "I think Liberty City's move is a demonstration, and we should counter it. ! ”
"Then do it...hiss..."
"Yes, Your Majesty the King."
The minister walked out of the palace backwards, and when he retreated to the door, he raised his head.
In the empty palace, the symbol of Rekaner's royal power sat alone on the throne, shrouded in green smoke...
...
"Subjects do not need to panic about the Free City (you still have many things to panic about). The price of the floating city is not expensive (it depends on who it is). Five hundred thousand gold coins can make a city levitate (your city has Is the nose big?), we can do it anytime we want (do you believe it yourself), but we have to use this money to fight the rat tide (do you think I believe it), the Kingdom of Rekaner is the dream of Montreal Practitioner (in my own imagination), Nightmare of Liberty City (with some truth), Destroyer of the McKeon clan (really bragging), great (bullshit), invincible (bullshit), invincible (completely unreliable) Spectrum), the Kingdom of Ruikan will regain its glory (referring to being beaten in the corner by the Rat Man)!”
The content in brackets is Evelin’s idle addition.
"It's interesting." Annan said.
Obviously, the status of Liberty City and the Kingdom of Rikaner is moving in both directions -
The Kingdom of Rikaner is rapidly falling from that position, while Free City is rapidly approaching them.
One day in the future, the two will pass by each other at a certain location, and then quickly go away.
“Look at the back again.” Evelin tapped her finger on the back of the newspaper.
Annan turned over the newspaper suspiciously and found that the original news content was covered by a messy line of bloody text.
[In Lethio Valley, you will get a glimpse of the real purpose of the rat people, please go there yourself]
"The writing is... really ugly."
Annan is certainly qualified to say this.
"Who sent it?"
"That's the question. I fell asleep lying on the table, and when I woke up I saw this line of text appearing on the back of the newspaper, before Definitely not."
Annan looked a little serious. The problem was not the blood word, but the matter itself...
"Lilith!"
He walked out the window and shouted towards the mage tower, asking the emerging Lilith if there had been any magic fluctuations before.
The answer is no, then there are only two possibilities: someone sneaked into Liberty City quietly, or someone from outside sneaked into the city.
"Where is Lesio Valley?"
"I don't know either."
Annan took Evelin to the map room next door to find Olmedo . She and her eldest sister were studying on the makeshift sand table in the Huiyue Mountains.
"Look at this."
Annan handed over the newspaper. Olmedo took over and glanced at it a few times: "The Kingdom of Rikaner has too much time to take care of itself, and it is difficult to threaten us."
Her opinion is similar to Annan's.
“Look at the back.” Annan’s approach was similar to Evelin’s.
Olmedo turned over the back and was stunned by the bloody words.
"Evelin doesn't know who wrote it. I asked Lilith and she said there was no magic fluctuation."
Olmedo found Lesio Valley on the map, it Located in the central and western part of Dimon Kingdom, it is just a grain-producing land, nothing special.
“What do you think?” Olmedo asked Annan, handing the newspaper to Itilia.
They want to confirm it is very simple, just spend a long time drifting over to Liberty City and find out.
But Annan is worried that this is a trap set by the Skaven against Liberty City.
"The easiest way is to give the letter to the Orr Empire. Whether it is a trap or it is true, they will be responsible for it." Olmedo analyzed, "If the person who left the clue has no malicious intent, Why give it to us instead of the two empires?”
“Maybe it’s because they don’t take it seriously,” Annan thought thoughtfully.
“Your warlock talent can even recognize handwriting?” Olmedo noticed the tendency in Annan’s words.
"Just...a gut feeling."
It would be unfair to say that the wind is leaking from all sides, but Liberty City does have little protective power. That guy could secretly leave clues while Evelin was sleeping, and he could sneak up on Annan who was running around.
If you want to assassinate high-level personnel, that guy can't do it.
Olmedo said: "Shall we send a team of soldiers to explore the Lesio Valley?"
"You don't want me to go there personally."
Annan stared at the map. The Kingdom of Dimon was still resisting the rat tide, and the Lesio Valley should not have fallen yet. "Then let's split up. You and Liberty City go back to Gem Bay first, and I'll go to Lesio Valley. Maybe I can catch the guy who left us a bloody note."
When we go to Liberty City, they are in the light and the enemy is in the dark. But if Annan goes alone, they are hiding and the enemy is hiding.
"This is too risky." Olmedo frowned.
Annan is good at everything, but he always wants to pursue excitement...Whose powerful leader does not deal with internal affairs, preside over parliament, receive politicians, and spend all day adventuring outside.
"It doesn't matter, I bring the talisman of Skeleton King, Mr. Swaro, and Dean Blehim."
Itilia, who is always used to observing quietly, suddenly said: "You can have Liberty City follow you."
"Is this different from letting Liberty City go?" Annan was confused.
"You are in front, and Liberty City is following behind. This will facilitate support in times of danger and also confuse your location." Itilia said softly: "We will have many refugees along the way. It’s a good opportunity to absorb the population.”
And you don’t need to think about it, turning a group of refugees into residents of the floating city, their loyalty will be stronger than imagined.
In addition, Annan also thought that the longer those coalition soldiers stayed in Liberty City, the easier it would be to stay.
The moved Annan said: "Then just follow what the eldest sister said."
...
The high-profile news that Liberty City had drifted away from the Gray Mountains quickly spread. Except for a few people who complained about why they didn't stay in the north to fight against the rat tide, most people agreed.
Annan's age...or appearance makes them regard Liberty City as a junior. It’s already great that a new floating city can do so much.
“He is still a child!”
And it is said that Liberty City did not return to Gem Bay, but drifted to the Kingdom of Dimon - which was also plagued by rats.
