Chapter 1037 268. But what Martin discovered
[The "Glory of Rikaner" newspaper used superb lies to make the people think they had the upper hand in the war with Free City. In recognition of the newspaper's ability to tell lies and deceive the people, the palace asked the palace painter to create an oil painting for the newspaper "Glory of Rekaner" titled "Glory Shines on Rekaner".
On the day the work was completed, the palace painter asked officials to inspect and accept the oil painting.
The official pointed to the newspaper office crowded with soldiers in the oil painting and asked: "What is this?"
"This is the newspaper office."
"What are they doing?"
"They are looking for the Freedom Blade."
"Where is the president?"
"The president is in the dungeon."]< br>
Annan and Evelin work together inside and outside. He created scandals in the new royal capital, and Evelyn spread scandals in Liberty City.
Evelyn said she likes it, no news making news.
After all, Barr is a member of the royal family. In order to avoid long nights and nightmares, Annan sent Barr and the surrogate deceased of the insider to the gallows early, and followed the old rules, using torture instruments to destroy the body beyond recognition. Barr’s own mother could not recognize it. out of him.
Just after presiding over the hanging, Annan hurriedly ran back to the Purification Court. He did not wait to return to Terry, but instead waited for a special news: Kerberos arrived in the royal capital.
"Kyle...well, it sounds familiar."
"The contract mage of Archduke Babataud."
"Who is Baba Tod?"
"He is a legendary mage. He once went to the north to find you with Lord Mel, the Knight of the Eighth Holy Grail. He likes to wear a black cloak..."
< br>"Oh~ it's him."
Speaking of Kerberos, Annan couldn't remember who it was for the moment. But when it comes to little bats, Annan immediately thought of it.
I even sent him a New Year's gift.
But in terms of how familiar she was and how she could reveal her identity in front of him, Annan was a little unsure.
It was winter, so he couldn't come to the new capital just to hibernate.
"Because Grand Duke Barbatos is in the new royal capital?" Annan asked.
“It seems that Archduke Barbatoud re-recruited him.”
“I don’t understand.”
The next words of the confidant surprised Annan: the legendary mage Kerberos was actually a mercenary.
He had been employed by Archduke Babatord for a long time, and then after Mel died and the royal capital moved, Kerberos left the north.
A few days ago, Archduke Babataud contacted him again.
It seems that the approaching Freedom Blade has given the Grand Duke of the Kingdom a sense of urgency.
Annan thought for a moment and thought that if Kerberos had a chance to be on his side, at least they could help each other.
"Let's do this. I'll write a letter and you send someone to bring it to him."
Asking his cronies to wait for him, Annan came to the president's office, took out the letter paper and wrote: "I am Annan Levi. Si, you went back to the new capital? There are no good people there, why not come from Free City... No, it’s too explicit.”
Annan shook his head, crumpled the paper, and wrote a new letter:
"Do you still remember me? I'm Annan. How have you been lately? I still miss the time I spent with you and Teacher Mel. It is said that you went to the New King's Capital... Oh, it's too sensational."< br>
Annan could just imagine what Kerberos looked like when he pinched his nose and said it smelled bad, shook his head, tore it into pieces, and wrote another letter:
"I'm Annan, what are you doing in the new king's capital? It's very dangerous here."
That's it. I won’t say whether it’s useful or not, but at least it’s sincere enough.
Put the letter paper into the envelope and hand it to the cronies waiting outside. Watching him walk out the door, Annan asked Maria: "Is Terry back?"
"Not yet. "
"It's been several hours... It seems that the case is very difficult." Annan looked at the time and it was just noon, "Let's eat first."
Olmei has some shadows of Annan, for example, he does not care about his status, acts directly and has no airs.
The chefs in the Purifying Court have become accustomed to the president and the soldiers coming to the cafeteria to eat. The result is that the deliciousness and richness of the dishes in the cafeteria have greatly increased. There was an extra item of clam soup in today's menu, and Annan asked for a bowl out of curiosity. After it was delivered, the milky white soup was fragrant and extremely delicious.
Asking the chef to make another bowl, Annan took it to the dungeon regardless of the fact that he hadn't finished it yet.
“I made a bowl of clam soup myself. Do you want to try it?”
"I want to eat by myself..."
"Are you able to move?" Annan pretended not to understand.
Iron Maiden didn't speak
Gululu——
Annan's stomach suddenly made a noise. When he was a little shy, Iron Maiden seemed to be touched and opened her lips slightly. .
"Louise, I know you are a very good girl. The unfortunate experiences you have had have not polluted your noble soul..."
Annan said softly while feeding the iron girl spoonful of soup. .
If the members of the Church of Doom knew that someone said this about Louise, the first thing to do would be to kill him, and the second thing would be to run as far away as possible before Louise gets angry.
But in the dungeon, she just remained silent for a while and continued to speak: "You want to digest my bad luck? It's useless to do so..."
"Why?"
< br>
"Can you use words to draw back the drawn bow..."
Annan understood the example and asked tentatively: "What if I send you to the wilderness?"
"You want to Let me go?"
"I can't let you become a bigger and bigger barrel of explosives..." Annan put the empty bowl aside and took out his handkerchief, "You are so good-looking, I think you should Isn’t he a heinous villain?”
Iron Maiden was silent for a long time and let out a sneer.
"Innocent..."
...
After returning the bowl to the chef, Annan sat in the empty canteen and ate silently.
He felt the same, actually trying to influence a priest with his charm.
Being young and beautiful does not mean that you are easy to fool... Not everyone is as naive as the 495-year-old Lina.
I have to find another way to get in touch with the Iron Maiden...
While I was thinking about it, the sound of chaotic footsteps broke in.
Annan saw Terry coming back with someone, but he didn’t know whether he had finished the case or just came back to eat.
"An... Mr. Olmei, you won't guess what we found!" Terry threw himself at the table excitedly.
Annan stretched out his hand to block the clam soup and moved in front of him: "I can guess it from your reaction... What's the good news?"
"Well...it's not really good news, it's just that we found something amazing..."
Annan asked the chef to prepare food for his men, and asked Terry to sit in front of him.
“We learned from the old gravekeeper at the cemetery that the people who buried the dead were a group of people without little fingers. Only the Hara Gang in the vicinity met the requirements. We went to investigate the Hara Gang and found out that they are from the Brotherhood of Shadows. Outer gangs. I suspect that the deceased is related to the Shadow Brotherhood. "
"We made a mistake and did not pay attention to hiding ourselves. The Shadow Brotherhood discovered us, but he did not dare to offend the Purification Court, so he used a message. It’s up to us not to investigate.”
“He said the news was related to the bloodline of the old royal capital, and thought we would be interested...”
"What's such a coincidence?"
"What's such a coincidence?"
Annan told Terry about "the case" that the Speaker was going to hand over to him.
Terry said in a daze: "We are so lucky..."
"It is Martin's good luck."
