In the basement of a caravan comptoir.

Marianne put the teacup back on the coffee table, folded her hands back on her knees, and said with a smile: "Aunt Salda, I understand after hearing your explanation, but I still have some doubts, can you help me analyze them?"

Madame Salda, too, smiled and nodded, "Miss Marianne, may you ask." ”

Marianne said: "Now the situation outside has proved that the beast tide is divided into two stages, but why hasn't there been any information before? I still have some understanding of the main families in Zipewa City, most of them, including yours, have participated in the first beast tide, it can't be that everyone has formed some tacit understanding......"

Lady Salda added tea to the teacups of the two, "That's right, after the first beast tide, all the surviving transcendents gathered together, on the one hand, to distribute the gains in the beast tide, and on the other hand, they also hope to brainstorm to solve the secrets of the beast tide. However, as you know, people are selfish, and if it is certain that the beast tide will come again, then there is such an existence in Cipewa City that is comparable to the Mithril Mine.

Therefore, the transcendents who participated in the meeting at that time made a blood alliance and vowed to share the benefits brought by the beast tide and keep the secrets of the beast tide together.

Although my father was also one of the transcendents who participated in the oath at that time, he died relatively early, and did not pass on the secrets of the beast tide to us, but only told us to be careful, if the first wave is not held, we need to come to this shelter to avoid the second wave, and once we reach the plastic, we are not allowed to participate in the defense of the city.

If the Shaper is involved in the defense, chances are they'll be locked by the second wave of Alien Beasts, just like your friends did, unless they flee to sea. I also had to get them out of the shelter for the safety of all of us, and you won't blame me for that, will you?"

Marianne sighed and said, "I'm sure my friend will survive this, so we'll just have to wait." Well, Aunt Salda, let's go back to that room, and don't make them wait. ”

......

In the other room, Emma, Fabian, and Natasha were not anxious at all, and although they knew that there were powerful beasts wreaking havoc outside, they were not at all worried about the safety of the three Jacques.

That guy has a spatial rift, and if he's really in danger, just dodge inside, he can escape from the grandmaster's hands.

The only one who worried them was Claudia, and Jacques just went out and never came back. Marianne and her master went to another room for a secret conversation, and Fabian and the others should eat and play, and mingle with the Fernando siblings.

Can't you hear the roar of the beasts outside and the collapse of houses?

Are you the only one who is worried?

The second prince was in a bad mood and sat alone in the corner, was it because he couldn't go out with Jacques?

Or was it because of that rain in the morning?

Did the rain have anything to do with him? Like the storm at sea, summoned by the dagger?

Claudia had a lot of questions in her mind, but she couldn't solve them.

......

The second prince was in a bad mood, and another person who was thousands of miles away was not in a very good mood because of him.

Rand, the private residence of Shousuke.

In the middle of a bamboo forest, a house identical to the bamboo cottage in Port Mousse is located in it, and everything in the cottage is moved from the Earl's Palace in Port Mousse, even the two pots of epiphany at the door are original.

Instead of sitting behind his large desk, Robert lay down in a rocking chair with a book over his face and listened to the report of the person next to him.

After a while, his voice came from under the book: "Comey, didn't you say before that you couldn't confirm the identity of the person who sent the special code to the Yorktown Investigation Service?

Comey, who was standing on the side, replied: "We thought it was Annan who escaped from the catastrophe, but Annan appeared in the imperial capital the day before yesterday, from the perspective of time, there must be someone else who issued the special code, only Annan and François have a special password in the envoy fleet, if Annan escapes and returns directly to the empire across the sea, then the person who issued the special code can only be François."

So I had all the suspicious people in Orange Town investigated at the time, and my people found that a young man and a woman had spent the night at a local hotel with a few other young men. The next day everyone else left, and the couple did not check out, saying that they would stay for another two days, but the two men did not show up again after leaving the house at noon that day.

My man and the innkeeper confirmed the appearance of the two men, and the woman's appearance was exactly that of Claudia von Schweiger, but the man was completely different from François's features except for his height and eye color. ”

Robert took the book off his face and tilted his head to look at Comey, this guy is now his own intelligence leader, and he has established a separate intelligence system that is only responsible for himself outside the original Mithril Society system, and most of the intelligence personnel are from outside the Mithril Society.

The reason for using Comey is to show the Great Elder the sincerity of the cooperation between the two sides, and on the other hand, it is also to find out that Comey is indeed a good hand at intelligence, and he has established an efficient intelligence network in just a few months, and even the New World, which has not been effective in the Mithril Society, has done a good job.

At the beginning, it was also Comey who found out that the second prince François quietly left the imperial capital and mixed into the envoy team, and Robert immediately sold the news to the Archduke Stuart, otherwise it was just for a special envoy Claudia, and there was no need for the Archduke Stuart to risk war with the royal family to send a fleet to attack the envoy fleet at sea.

However, people are not as good as heaven, and I didn't expect a storm to blow the ambush to pieces.

Although the envoy's ship sank in the storm, it is certain that many people escaped from the storm.

It is certain that Annan, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, escaped, and should have relied on the strength of the grandmaster to fly thousands of miles at sea and meet a passing ship before returning to the imperial capital.

However, the emperor's reaction was beyond Robert's expectations, and he did not become angry because of the envoy fleet, and did not even reveal the real reason for the silence of the envoy fleet, announcing that the envoy fleet had encountered a storm and that many people, including the envoy Claudia, were missing.

For Robert, this operation was in vain, if the royal family and the Duchy of Stuart could not fight, Castile would have to fight with Stuart.

Robert needs the tension between Castile and Stuart to help him rise to power, but he really doesn't want to go to war with the two countries, but he is almost unable to suppress the fanatics in the country, and the leader of the fanatics is the Grand Duke of Castile himself.

Unexpectedly, Comey bought an intelligence mole in the investigation bureau in Yorktown, and this person gave a message that on the third day after the storm, the investigation bureau of Yorktown received a secret letter with a special password, the contents of which were known only to the commissioners of the investigation bureau.

Originally, it was not a big deal, but this information was almost drowned in the sea of information, thanks to Comey's keen awareness of the special features of this information, and after digging deeply, he deduced that the second prince François and the envoy Claudia may still be alive!

"Hair can be dyed, face shape can be changed in some way, that person could really be François, find a way to find out where they are. By the way, we must strictly inspect the ports, and we must not let François return to the imperial capital alive, as long as he is really dead, our Emperor His Majesty will start a war with Stuart. ”
