Chapter 998 229. Arrogant at first and respectful at the end
Son of the North...maybe it is true?
If you look at life from Martin's perspective, he lived a life without worries about food and clothing before he was sixteen years old. He had a pair of loving parents and an elite warrior boss.
After he turned sixteen, a cousin suddenly appeared and brought him a good life. He took him to avoid annihilation, became a resident of a floating city, and had a wife and children.
Martin got the happiness that many people crave without doing anything.
Isn't this considered lucky?
But doesn’t it mean that Aunt Susan is the mother of the North and Uncle Hollin is the father of the North...
“We are here.”
Mary Ya's voice pulled Annan out of his thoughts.
“Huh? Oh.”
Annan raised his head and looked at the cell in front of him where the Purifying Court spies were held.
Entering the cell, the city guard was accompanying an official who came from the Ministry of Military Affairs.
He took many people with him and listened to the city guard officer describing the process of catching the spy.
Annan and Maria passed by them. The spy in the cell was simply bandaged and sat there with a pale face.
Annan looked at him: "Tell me everything you know."
The spy raised his head and was about to speak when a cold voice suddenly came from behind him.
“Get out of the way!”
Annan turned around, and the military official’s subordinates were shouting.
As soon as his golden eyes narrowed, Annan remembered his identity and quickly stood aside.
The official walked straight to the cell and looked down at the spy with arrogance: "Tell me everything you know."
The spy described the composition of the Purification Court: Their purpose is very simple: to find the Freedom Blade and purify it, and to sneak into the Freedom Blade to obtain the plan and member list.
They obey the orders of eight inquisitors.
"Who is your judge?"
"In the Purification Court, we do not use our true identities..."
The identity of the judge is not something that a nobody like him can know. .
"Do you know any other accomplices?"
The spy showed a trace of hesitation.
Capturing his resistance, the official warned: "If you say nothing, you are of no value. But the more you reveal, the less culpable you will be."
"We are the Blades of Freedom, you can trust us."
This sentence made the spy let go of his burden and said: "I...I know two more, but they are not in this camp."
"Just two..." The official was a little disappointed.
"They must know more!" At this moment, the spy was anxious to clear away his guilt and said anxiously.
"Okay."
The official nodded, tilted his head and said to his men: "Make note of the two people he revealed, don't alert the snake, and arrest them secretly late at night."
< br>Leaving one person to continue the interrogation, lest the spy reveal any secrets, the officer turned around to leave the cell, but his eyes suddenly stopped when he glanced at Maria.
"Huh?"
Then it became hot.
"You go out first."
The city guard officer looked at Annan, then at the officials, and reminded: "My lord, he is the nephew of the Minister of Military Affairs..."
"I understand, you guys, get out." The official said impatiently.
The city guard led the man out of the cell tangledly. The officer put away his enthusiasm and looked at Annan with a look of uncertainty.
"You are..." Realizing that he had been recognized, Annan stopped pretending to be his identity: "Recognized?"
"I was just a little suspicious just now. , now..." The official hid all his arrogance and bowed his head respectfully.
“Do you know Maria?”
"No... that's a lie to them." The official hid all his arrogance and said humbly: "I met you in Breeze City."
That was really a coincidence, and it seems that just a change Her hair color and eye color make her unrecognizable.
I wonder if there is such a thing as an "ordinary potion"...
However, the changes in officials made Annan feel funny, and joked: "Why are you so arrogant at first and respectful at the end?"
< br>The official was as shy as a boy next door: "You are Lord Annan, you keep your head down and are not shabby."
Annan almost thought he had watched "Let the Magic Fly". The announced premiere date would not be until tomorrow. At this time, only people from the Kingdom had watched it.
"Go to Renaldo and report it, and remember not to disclose my existence to anyone." Just in case, Annan reminded.
"According to what you said."
Annan left the cell with the officials reluctant and took Martin back to the official residence of the Minister of Military Affairs.
Reynardo came back late at night, and Annan told him that the official recognized him.
"You mean Hisham?" The Minister of Military Affairs pondered for a moment, "He is a knight and is very interested in the teachings of the Blade of Freedom. I think you can believe it."
"That's good." Thinking replaced by Annan.
"What's wrong?"
Annan replied: "I'm just wondering whether to use him."
Hisham is a little arrogant, but it's not a big problem. .
"Let time prove everything." said the Minister of Military Affairs, "The guests are coming."
"Who are they?"
Annan learned about it in advance. The only person who is qualified to have a late-night private meeting with the Minister of War is either a member of Parliament or the head of the Knights.
This made Annan feel that he made the right move in choosing the Minister of Military Affairs... Speaking of chess pieces, should he borrow Elimayas's "Apocalypse Forecast" to touch it again?
Guests arrive one after another late at night. After seeing Annan's excitement, these high-ranking guys discussed how to cooperate with the Free Blade to develop members and control the kingdom.
They unfolded a map, and the red color represented by the Blade of Freedom dyed the entire border and half of the kingdom red. They were still gathering here, and it was expected that the troops would arrive at the city within two months.
This kind of war without gunpowder and the speed of advancement are indeed a bit unaccustomed to them, but on the bright side - all they need is time, the time for the Blade of Freedom to encroach on the interior from the border and surround the new royal capital. .
So before the Free Blade arrives, they just need to continue to develop members.
"Is there anything I can do?" Annan said.
The Minister of Military Affairs said: "There is no need to do anything, you just make us feel at ease here."
Like a mascot.
"Okay."
Although Annan came to confront Crowe, the longer he delayed, the more he would strengthen the Blade of Freedom and weaken the kingdom.
After seeing off the guests, Annan asked the Minister of Military Affairs: "Can I go out for a walk?"
The Minister of Military Affairs could not restrict Annan's movements, so he had to remind: "But pay attention to safety , you have already been recognized once. ”
So this time Annan planned to darken his face and add some Evelyn-style freckles to ensure that even familiar people wouldn't recognize him.
But before going out, Annan still needs a guide, a local who is familiar with the new royal capital.
The Minister of Military Affairs cannot give advice on this kind of matter. He stood so high that the clouds blocked his view of the ground.
The nephew of the Minister of Military Affairs - the real nephew actually likes to have fun in the city. He recommended a guide to Annan at his uncle's suggestion.
"He has lived in the slums for several months, and he definitely meets your requirements." The nephew who thought Annan was really his "cousin" said casually.
