Chapter Five: Integrate Leads

After the four of them returned to the base camp of the Luo Yi Regiment, several other people had been waiting at the door for a long time, and everyone was relieved to see that no one was injured. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Contrary to Caitlyn's cold personality, she has a superb cooking skill, and after a while, bowls of steaming dishes are served on the table, and Xiutru drools are watering when she sees it.

After a full meal, Gouviy began to recount the ins and outs of the incident to Rog and Rick. The two of them were shocked when they learned that they were in a hurry to save people, so they came to the Heavenly Realm.

"I didn't even know there was magic that could convert people's attributes." Rick cupped his chin and looked at Guvie.

"Actually, thanks to the help of the Lord of Light, this magic can be successfully completed."

"Lord of Light? Do you know Lerna? ”

"My young lady and Ms. Lerna are old acquaintances, and I went to her for help. What's wrong? ”

"Ah nothing, in fact, I know Relna, and she can be considered half of my mentor. I just didn't expect to meet her acquaintances here. Recently, however, there have been rumors that she is looking for the Elven King. ”

"Could it be Mr. Peter who told you this?"

Rick slapped his leg in surprise: "yes! It turns out that the friends he spoke of were you! ”

"Hahaha, that's such a coincidence." Guviyi laughed, "If I knew each other, I wouldn't have to pretend to be a merchant to go around in such a big circle. ”

"yes, if you had identified yourself from the beginning, I wouldn't have had to work so hard to find you."

Guviy and Rick laughed, and Rog looked at Xiutru with an expression of confusion, and Xiutru could only smile that he didn't know what the situation was now.

Rick stood up, put one hand on his chest and said solemnly, "Guviy, Shotru, I'm sorry, please let me reintroduce myself." My name is Vic, and I'm half of Lerna's apprentice with Peter. He bowed his head and continued: "Actually, Peter told me a few days ago that he had a few friends who were looking for the whereabouts of the Elven King in order to save people, and he didn't elaborate on it, so I didn't ask about it, but promised that I would help him keep an eye on the news about it. He's been preparing for the Celestial Wing Council for the past few days, so I didn't bother him. ”

"This is the last day of the Celestial Wing Council, right?" Gouwiy asked.

"Yes, traditionally speaking, the Heavenly Wing Council is three days, and if nothing else, it will be over this evening."

"Now Vic can have a good rest, ah, Vic is another friend of ours, and he also entrusted us to find the Elf King, and the young lady sent him to follow Peter to the council to inquire about the news, and he has not been in touch for much during this time."

"I see, why don't we call a few more people for a small banquet?"

"It's a bit too risky, and Miss shouldn't want more people to know that we all know each other, after all, Peter is too conspicuous everywhere he goes as the archangel, so I want to ask you to ask Vic out alone, and we can exchange existing information."

"What about Miss? Didn't Miss go to the Divine Realm? Xiutru asked.

Guviy took his pocket watch from his bosom, looked at it, and said, "She's back, just in time to meet us." ”

In the evening, Peter and Vic walked out of the council hall, and Vic stretched his back.

"It's finally over! Now you can have a good rest for a few days! ”

"Yes, I've worked hard for you these past few days, but it's good that you're here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to cope with those old stubborn difficulties."

"This is what I have to do, and I have to thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"The old man's vision is really right, you can grasp the latest situation in two days, you can even remember the data, and you have your own opinions, you are really talented." Peter patted Vic on the shoulder: "How about making this temporary assistant a permanent one?" ”

Vic laughed, "You're exalting me too much, Lord Angel, if I can find the Elf King to cure her, I'll think about it." ”

"Well, you're always welcome here." Peter looked at Vic seriously, and suddenly he said to him as if he remembered something: "By the way, Vic, I almost forgot, just now I received a secret correspondence from a friend that Miss Charlotte and her two deacons seem to have gained something, and it just so happens that you also reported to them the information we have gathered in the past few days." ”

"Okay, I haven't been in touch for a few days, I don't know what Miss can analyze from this information."

"I still have some finishing touches to take care of, so I'll ask my deacon to send you there."

"Don't you need help?"

"It's okay, there aren't many documents to deal with, you've already helped me a lot, let's take a good rest these days."

The two got into the carriage, and Vic parted ways with Peter at the gate of the manor before rushing to the secret meeting place given by Rick. When he arrived at the small private estate, he saw Shutru beckoning to him from a distance. Vic got out of the carriage and thanked the deacon, and Shutru had already run to him. As they walked inside, Shutru told him that this was the manor that Rick had bought, and that he didn't have time to come here on weekdays, and that it was now just the right time to exchange information. Vic sighed at how well the garden had been built, and pushed open the carved wooden door.

The layout of the hall was not luxurious, but it had a homely feel, and they walked up the stairs to the main living room on the second floor. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the young lady sitting leisurely on the sofa by the window, drinking tea comfortably. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched her shadow long.

"It's finally here." The young lady put the teacup on the table and stood up. "Long time no Vic."

"Long time no see, miss. Mr. Guwiy has not been seen for a long time. ”

Guviy leaned against the bookshelf and flipped through a thick book, and when he heard Vic's voice, he closed the book and bowed respectfully with one hand to his chest.

"Ah, found it, Miss Charlotte, this is the ......" Rick came out of the inner room, holding a stack of papers in one hand and taking off his glasses in the other. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Rick and continued, "Hello, my name is Rick and I am the owner of the manor. ”

"Hello Mr. Rick, my name is Vic, thank you very much for having me today."

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be so restrained." Rick smiled and walked over to the young lady and handed her the information. After reading it quickly, the young lady raised her head and said, "Okay, let's not stand stupidly, let's talk about the experience of the past few days." ”

After seeing the young lady sit down, several people sat around the table. Xiutru said with some excitement: "Hahaha, it feels like a group meeting!" Miss is so young no matter where she goes! ”

"yes." Rick smiled and said, "It feels like she's the master here." ”

The young lady shrugged: "Don't hold me, I can't afford it." Xiutru, you start first. ”

"Okay! I've been undercover with Mr. Guwiey for the past few days in several taverns and restaurants, and I've gotten back the flying ring that Mademoiselle had given me. ”

"Flying rings? You actually lost it?! "Miss almost squirted out a mouthful of tea.

After realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Xiutru smiled a little embarrassedly, and looked at Guviyi for help: "Ah no, Mr. Guviyi is amazing, his acting skills are first-class and turn those people who accompany the wine girl around!" ”

"You're still going to play with the wine girl?!" The young lady put the teacup on the tray with a "clang" and stared at Guviyi as if she were about to burst into flames.

Guviyi smiled and looked at Shotru, the smiling devil who made the latter break out in a cold sweat and obediently shut his mouth. "After a few days of ambushing in the restaurant and tavern, we came across Rick's Rowing Regiment and killed their nemesis, the thief who stole Xiutru's flying ring, and we learned from their captain that the Dark Elves seemed to be collecting a lot of magic equipment and weapons. ”

Rick nodded at Guvie: "Indeed, I have recently heard rumors that the dark elves seem to be looking for the elven king as well, but I don't know if the elven king has really been assassinated as the rumors say." ”

The young lady raised the information in her hand and said, "The assassination incident should be true, it is written here that the Elven King agreed to form an alliance with the Angel Clan and the other five sub-god clans, and cede part of the territory to the north as a gesture of friendship. ”

"The Territory of the North...... If I'm not mistaken, there's a part of the land of the Dark Elves...... Yes! That's why the dark elves went to a small country like Yoron! ”

"Yes, the dark elves are very dissatisfied with the Elven King's decision to make it on his own, and after many unsuccessful appeals, some radicals have tried to provoke trouble to assassinate the Elven King."

"But with the strength of the Elf King, he won't be afraid of these subordinate elves at all."

The young lady closed the information in her hand and put it beside her, her arms resting on the table, and her fingers kept touching and parting: "The rest is all my guess." Her expression became serious: "The Elven King was absent from the annual festival of the gods after signing an alliance contract with other clans, and the reason was that he was afraid of being assassinated, so he kept his door closed. But it stands to reason that the Dark Elves should still be in the negotiation period at that time, and the contract was only a draft rather than a formal contract, so the Elf King deliberately released rumors of assassination, and he needed to create such a commotion to avoid the sacrifice of the gods. ”

"Could it be that he noticed something wrong so he deliberately didn't appear in the public eye?"

The young lady nodded and continued: "The assassination of the dark elves may be just a cover, and the elf king wants to create such rumors to make others feel that the dark elves and the elf king are not in harmony. Rick showed me the contract they had signed, and to put it bluntly, it was just a few pieces of waste paper, and the dark elves had already moved from the forest, and a little calculation would reveal that the data on it was unreal. ”

Rick took the information with some surprise, looked left and right and didn't figure out the reason for a long time, Vic leaned over and looked a little puzzled: "It's true that these data are a little unnatural, but it's not impossible to say it." ”

The young lady pointed to the monthly expenditure column and said: "If you compare the total expenditure of the elves, each data of the dark elves is 11% of the total expenditure, and you can't see any clues if you look at each data alone, but the population base of the dark elves can't generate such a huge amount of consumption at all, and each item is 11%, doesn't it seem too coincidental?" So almost the whole data is made up, the forest city has long been empty, and the contract is just a piece of paper. ”

Listening to the young lady's words, Vic was shocked, he was able to see the problem with the data in such a short time, how powerful the computing power and familiarity with the city management needed to draw conclusions in a few minutes.

The young lady drank all the tea in the cup and continued: "The elf king, who directed and acted by himself, really deceived everyone. Vic, do you have any news over there? ”

Vic took the ledgers of the various archangels that he and Peter had spent several days getting and said, "We have several ledgers and have found no particularly valuable clues. He handed the ledger to Miss, who looked through it and frowned.

"Vic, have you shown your own ledger to anyone else?"

Vic thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, the ledger has always been with Peter, and only the two of us can look through it." ”

"No, there's another person."

"And one more?"

"Did Peter have a deacon who often helped him organize his materials?"

"Yes, but he's not very good at that, so in addition to tidying up the room, the two of us are sorting out the materials."

"But if you want to copy a few pieces of data from the ledger, you can still do it, right?"

"Of course, don't you say ......?"

The young lady picked out two of the other eleven ledgers and said, "The expenditure data of these two books are false, one is based on your ledger, and the other is based on the one that was compiled. ”

Vic took the ledger with an incredible expression on his face and compared it for a long time.

"Does the deacon you came here know?"

"I don't know, he's still helping Peter with some of the remaining papers, Peter only told him that the council is over, and I'm on vacation today. I was sent by the coachman deacon who was in charge of the garden. ”

"In that case, tomorrow you go back to Peter and pretend to continue to help, and remind Peter to pay attention to that deacon, but don't startle the snake, you are secretly tracking down what the hell are going on with these two archangels with problems with the ledger."

"Yes."

"Rick, you can also help inquire if there are any discordant voices in the Celestial Realm lately."

"Okay."

"What about us?" Shotru pointed to himself and Guviyi.

"You follow me to Yoron, the Dark Elf Elder must know something, and let me know if there is any news." The young lady flipped her right hand, and two rings in the shape of birds appeared, each feather was delicately depicted, and at first glance it was a valuable magic prop.

"Each of you takes one, and if there is anything urgent, inject magic into the ring, and a few of us will be able to talk to each other."

Seeing that both of them put the ring on their fingers, the young lady clapped her hands happily: "Okay, this will be the end of the meeting!" I'm going to eat, and I'm starving. Guvii Guvii I'm going to drink creamy mushroom soup! ”

"Yes, Mr. Rick, can I borrow your kitchen?"

"Yes, but there's no ingredients here."

"I've brought some of my own, and I'll show my hands if I don't mind."

"Guviyi's cooking is delicious!" Miss said proudly to Rick.

Looking at the young lady who looked like the two of them at the meeting, Rick smiled and said, "Even Miss Charlotte said it was delicious, so I should try it." ”

"Promise you'll never forget it!" Vic licked his lips as if he was savoring something, and replied to him with some intoxication.

Guviy looked at the unscrupulous people and laughed a little, he shook his head and walked into the kitchen.
