Chapter 12: The Great Ancestor's Password
A pigeon, which Jacques considered unfit for the postman's job, flapped its wings out of the attic of a nondescript house in the harbor area, and flew out to sea, heading straight for the three Stuart-flagged sea-going ships whose sails could be faintly seen on the shore of the harbor.
The lookout caught the pigeon and removed a metal ring from under the pigeon's feet, which was passed into the captain's hand. The captain hurried into the cabin, knocked on the door of a lounge, entered respectfully, handed the metal ring to the young man who had risen from the lower bunk, and exited the door.
The young man opened the metal ring, pulled out the letterhead hidden inside, read it, and said to the person lying on the top bunk: "There was an accident in the cuckoo plan, the mother cuckoo died, but fortunately, the little cuckoo entered the nest early and was safe." ”
The man on the top bunk said in a hoarse voice, "Check the surroundings and show me the letter first." ”
The young man inspected the two lounges next door, as well as the hallway, and waved his hand to release two water balloons, which landed on the ground, spreading a layer of water trails throughout the corridor. After the young man returned to his room, he said, "To confirm safety, I put two precipitation techniques in the corridor, and now I can sense the movement of the entire corridor." Anyone who touches my water will know it. ”
The man on the top bunk put down his letterhead and said, "Need to find out why the lazy Karl can't wait to attack the children of the Awakened Light Department just after the ceremony, it's not his style." Fortunately, the mother cuckoo sent the little cuckoo away in time, and the little guy can soar to the sky with the support of his cheap father as long as he returns to the kingdom of light, without the help of the mother cuckoo, we need to mobilize more resources for the little cuckoo to ensure that he can take the position. ”
The young man nodded and replied, "I'll take your opinion back." Save the little cuckoo this time, 007 said that he was almost exposed, please be careful when you connect with him tomorrow, if there is any accident, please think about saving yourself. You're more important to the bigger picture than us spies. ”
The two people who thought they were absolutely safe around them didn't expect that under their feet, in the warehouse five or six meters away, there was a figure walking and recording between the stacked goods. This man is none other than Marlo Renault, Jacques's father, an ostensibly ordinary person.
When the young man released the water balloon, the fluctuation of the source energy was sensed by Marlowe, the tax collector who was counting the goods in the lower cabin, and he immediately went into a state of alert, becoming extremely sensitive to the surrounding environment, and his enhanced hearing could clearly hear the conversation between the two.
The Stuart sent a little spy to infiltrate the Kingdom of Light, which had nothing to do with him, but the two mentioned a code name that made Marlowe feel uneasy, 007!
What is the purpose of such a powerful spy lurking in the imperial capital, not in Rant, the capital of Castia, not in Cologne, the capital of Saxony, lurking in the city ruled by such a count as Port Mousse?
In order to steal the secrets of the Baptiste family, forget it, no one can solve Lee Baptiste's code, and his other inventions have long been contributed to the royal family to exchange for an earl title and fief, if there are other secrets, his grandson, the lazy Karl will be eager to exchange for the title of marquis.
So is it for me and Jacques? No, even if they see through the illusion of the past, think that we are not dead, and send people to look for us, it should be in the New World and the Kingdom of Light, no one will believe that we will still stay in the territory of the Empire, stay in the sphere of influence of the "organization".
Hey, this kid Jacques, why did she awaken the chaos system, how could it be the second attribute of her awakening back then? Will anyone associate the things of the year with Jacques's attributes?
Marlowe had a thousand thoughts in his mind, counted the goods as pretentious, asked the captain for a bribe as usual, registered a tax that matched the amount of the bribe, and hurriedly sailed away. The captain with a ghost in his heart gave a large sum of silver coins, and the director of the tax office should be very happy, and every civil servant of the tax office will receive a reward of one or two silver coins, and tonight the director's lover will receive a valuable gift.
......
The boss's boss, the ruler of Port Mousse, is now very unhappy.
The obese Carl Baptiste paced in his son's study, and from time to time looked at his son Robert, who was at the desk and was also his brainchild.
Carl finally couldn't help but ask, "Just let those light dogs go?" That little bastard who awakened the light department didn't expect it to be a big fish, so he just slipped away, I was really unwilling." ”
Robert put down his pen, looked at his anxious father, and replied, "The whole thing, I think we were being used by that old fox of Henry's commissioner, why did he encourage you to deal with the children of the Awakened Light Department, I guess he knew there was a big fish here."
Encourage us to arrest people, so that the people behind this child have to send someone to rescue the child and send it to the people in the Kingdom of Light. In this way, the planned awakening of the light system, forced to flee, and the scene of father and son recognizing each other can be completed.
As for Henry, he wanted to find the person behind this kid through our surprise. ”
"He also wants this kid to infiltrate the Kingdom of Light, the people behind it are nothing more than the spies of the three principalities to guess, why use us?" the count was dissatisfied.
Robert explained to his father, "I think at least I can now tell that there is a great spy lurking in Port Moussey, most likely Stuart's, less likely Sarson's, very unlikely the man of the legendary Order.
After the big spy found out that the child was about to be arrested, he didn't ask for advice, and took matters into his own hands, using the hidden lines lurking in our Earl's Court and the city council to rescue the child, a prostitute on the dock, and it only took two hours from the accident to the rescue of the child.
He's provoking us, so I'm going to give him some response, I don't know who the prostitutes were at the inner gates this morning, maybe Henry's commissioner already knows. ”
The Earl was a little dismayed, especially when he was taken advantage of by the commissioner who was always against him, which made him very depressed: "The prostitute committed suicide, and Lily, who happened to appear at the city gate, did not catch the fire sculptor.
Henry Anglade, that old fox will say that we can't do a good job of catching a few children, and we are to blame for the death of two of Papo's men in the Sixth Legion, and we have offended a big man on the side of the Kingdom of Light, these flies and dogs, I want to let them know that the Baptistes are not easy to mess with. The Count prepared to leave the study and find a place to vent his anger.
Robert called out to him, "Father, wait a minute, I think I have a clue about the great-grandfather's password." ”
The earl's eyes lit up, and with the agility of his stature, he ran to the desk, looked at Robert's notebook, and said, "Can you crack those strange characters? God, our Baptiste family is expected to become a marquis......!
Robert was still unhurried, and said slowly: "Not so fast, I just found the idea, I can be sure that the content written in those ciphers is an independent writing system, this writing system has not been affected by the ancient script, the existing script or the New World script, using the existing script to analyze and decipher will enter a dead end, which is why so many language masters and cipher masters cannot translate."
The great-grandfather may have been more powerful than everyone thinks, and he recorded this invention that could not be made public, in a kind of self-created writing. So I think there must be a decryption book, and this decryption book should be hidden somewhere in the castle. I need your father, to recall, where would your great-grandfather hide this book if it had been written?"
Carl Baptiste fell into deep thought, and after a while, he shook his head, "I have already turned over the whole castle, and if it is a book, then the place where the most books in the whole castle are here." ”
Robert had a flash of inspiration, changed his previous calm appearance, and said: "The best place to hide a leaf is the forest!" Robert stood up and looked around the entire study, although the Baptiste family has two generations in a row, they have retained the huge library of the first Earl Baptiste - hundreds of thousands of books of all kinds!
At this time, Robert felt the mocking smile of his great-grandfather.
