Half an hour later, the captain of the escort team led the team to the scene of a messy fight.

Looking at the corpses that had not been extinguished, the weapons and blood stains on the ground, and the wandering ownerless horses, the squad leader closed his eyes tightly and fell into deep thought.

Not long after, he opened his eyes and said: "Martin and the others' accomplices came to the rescue, but fortunately, we fought back bravely, not only killing Martin and the others who were resisting with weapons, but also completely annihilating their accomplices.

Like the cultists, these people refused to surrender and eventually all of them set themselves on fire and died.

We fought valiantly, and many of us were slightly wounded.

Chuck, you take someone to clean up the corpse and evidence, and we have to give an explanation to the centurion of the Eleventh Legion, and we also have to give an explanation to the city lord!"

Chuck asked, "We don't know who these people are." In case ......"

The squad leader's eyes were round, his beard was open, and he shouted: "Who cares about their identities! This is the territory of Athabas, right? You take ten people, send these corpses and weapons over, and say that they are the revolutionaries we exterminated." Let their local city guard check it out!

When you have done it, you will come back and meet us, and tell them that I have a mission here, so I will not go to Athabbas to disturb them. ”

- God help me! The captain was ecstatic.

......

It's a pity that the captain of the escort team didn't know anything about this comical operation, and the group hurried back to Athabbas with their faces masked to pick up the remaining personnel.

The rest of the group waits outside the city, and Jacques and Lily sneak back to the hotel with Fat Orange.

After checking and confirming that no one was ambushed, Lily instructed Duane Jr.'s entourage to pack up their things.

Dunst writes to the West siblings to report on the progress of the matter, and releases the Harrier Eagle.

Jacques informs the proprietress Sandra that Chadwick and Nate have been killed on a hunting trip, and that they have killed two and more than twenty accomplices, but some have escaped, and in order not to cause trouble, they have decided to leave Athabas immediately.

Sandra hurriedly asked, "What about the 20,000 silver coins?" ”

Jacques said, "Join you and Mr. Joseph's caravan as a force. If you want to find us, you can ask Mr. Joseph to go to the 'Flowers of the Heart' bar in Yorktown and tell the owner of the bar to find me Jacques. ”

At this time, Lily came down from the upper floor, holding a letter with a sealed fire paint seal in her hand, and handed it to the proprietress Sandra: "Miss Sandra, please help me deliver this letter to the post office, it is to the port of Moussey in Castile, and the address is on it." ”

Jacques turned his head to see the words on the envelope: "Naselli"!

Turning to Lily, he smiled and said, "Is this a matter of asking the branch elder to come to York City to check the work?"

Lily's pretty face turned red with a brush, then she stared at her round eyes, grabbed Jacques's ear and said, "Still here with a poor mouth! Go and pack up your things! I'm just writing a letter to tell you that I'm safe." ”

"I'm going to write too!I'm going to be safe!" Jacques struggled.

"Hurry up, then! in ten minutes! We're leaving!" Lily let go of Jacques.

Sandra smiled and left, but a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

......

After Jacques and the others left, Sandra was worried for several days, but the expected search and recovery did not happen.

Instead, word spread on the street that Chadwick and Nate were revolutionaries who attacked the escort in order to rescue their accomplices, and that a group of stupid thieves ended up with their bodies completely destroyed.

Finding out the news made Sandra stunned for a long time, unable to figure out why this was happening, so she had to guess that this was the arrangement of the man's little ghost.

It didn't take long for this glamorous proprietress who was quietly admired by many people in Athabasi City to have good luck again.

Construction of the first railroad in the New World, from York Town to Medis City, is about to begin.

The city government announced that the railway station will be built on a vacant lot more than 200 meters west of Sandra's hotel, and the main road in front of the hotel will lead directly to the railway station, and Sandra's hotel will be the closest hotel to the railway station.

At this time, Jacques was passing through the Sioux settlement, and through this half-desert and half-grassland area, they would reach the Cabbage River, along which they could reach the rubber plantation of the West family.

At the front of the group was a red-haired, brown-skinned native named the White Fox, who was Jacques' improvised guide to lead them through the desert.

The Sioux have strange names, each of them has the surname Sue, which is as representative of their race as their characteristic red-haired brown skin, but everyone will have a name as an adult except for their milk name.

The name may come from the trophy of a man's first tribal hunt, or from a memorable event such as a heroic battle, or perhaps from the man's physical defects or special hobbies.

Women's names are generally given by priests, and the more beautiful the girl, the better the name, such as "White Lotus".

So the guide White Fox Sue got his name from the rare white fox he hunted.

In the entire semi-desert and semi-steppe desert area, there is only one city, the city of Zidilan, in the middle of Lake Tesco, the former capital of the Sioux people.

The White Fox was to lead Jacques's party to the city of Zidiran first, and then continue south after resting.

For some reason, Fat Orange had a familiar feeling of desolation in front of him, and it remembered the desert.

Jacques had never seen a desert before, and he couldn't imagine what a real desert would be like just by the screed and scattered plants in front of him.

I thought I might have found Fat Orange's cat nest, but I didn't expect to be denied by Fat Orange soon.

......

The imperial capital, outside the east gate of the palace, in François's small courtyard.

A few days ago, the order was given to collect information about Jacques and Lily, and on this day a report was placed on François's desk.

According to the report of Shak, the tax collector of the Huerdo Pass Fortress, he witnessed a young man named Jacques kill the grandmaster of the Wharton family, and he was instantly promoted to the power shaper.

- Sect Slasher, I probably can't hide it, Robert, I really want to see the expression on my face after you know about this. We're going to see each other in half a month, and I'm looking forward to it......

François leaned back in his chair and smiled.

......

The man François was expecting, Robert Baptiste, was at this time underground in Place des Legionaries, not far from him.

In the underground study room, which I entered from the secret entrance of the Mithril Shop, there was a smaller desk next to the Great Elder's desk.

Robert wears glasses and buries himself in the case, dealing with the affairs of the "Mithril Society".

The Grand Elder's grandson, Comey, stood respectfully across the desk, waiting for instructions from his grandfather and acting president.

"Could it be a duplicate name?" said the Great Elder after reading the document in his hand.

"Both names match, and so do the descriptions, I don't think so. Robert didn't look up, but replied casually.

The Great Elder said, "That's your fiancée, and although I don't know how she escaped from that explosion, if she reappears in public, it won't affect you well. Thankfully, they're ...... in the New World."

Robert's words were a little indifferent: "I have the time and energy to deal with her affairs for the time being, and it is too wasteful of manpower and material resources to find people in the New World, and we don't have so many idlers." The war was about to start, and I wanted the normal drama to be exactly as I had written. ”

Comey opened his mouth and said, "Lord Grow, your stand-in has already departed from Rand and is expected to arrive in the imperial capital the day after tomorrow, when do you plan to replace him?"

"I'm not going to replace him, and that boring meeting is for him to go. ”

"But ......"

"Just let him pretend to be sick and can't speak. But when I made an appointment with François, I went in person!"

"As you wish!"

Robert handed a piece of paper to Comey, who hurriedly stepped forward to catch it, "You can deal with this matter." ”

Seeing that Robert was still writing with his head down, Comey quietly looked at his grandfather on the side.

The Great Elder nodded slightly.

Comey was ordered to retire.
