Chapter 844: Forces
The six bellflowers form a strange and twisted circle, shaped like a child's graffiti-like sun that radiates lines in all directions.
This pattern fell in the eyes of others and was meaningless, but Lin An was silent for a moment at the shape made of bellflowers, and covered his lower lip with one hand:
"Hmm, 'predicament, lurking crisis'? Consistent with my suspicions. Since the crisis is still lurking, it seems that there is no danger to life in the short term......"
Drawing on this information, Lin An did not feel relaxed, at the speed at which the radiance stones were decreasing, Andre's side would not be able to hold out for too long, and at the current consumption rate, those radiance stones would last at most after twenty magic hours.
And the spatial teleportation that returned to Sky City Lin An had just used it, and at the risk of affecting the stability of the cracks in the secondary plane, it was not impossible to forcibly extract the power of space once, but most of the light stones in the Sky City's inventory had already been extracted by Lin An, and the remaining ones would not be of much use even if they were put into the space by the Forest Security Department.
That is to say, adding up the resources at hand and the time limit extended by Andre's self-help forces, Lin An has a maximum of two days to think of a way to rescue Andre and put it into practice, which must also be based on the situation on Andrei's side, and will not deteriorate rapidly during this period!
"At the speed of Feiyun, two days will only allow me to enter Perre's territory, and ......"
Moreover, rescuing Andre is not something that can be solved by rushing to the place of death, Lin An does not think that his strength will definitely be able to solve the problem that even the archmage can't solve.
What's more, at present, it cannot be ruled out that what happened to Andrei and them, and there is a possibility that there are human factors, so it is impossible to determine whether it is internal strife or encountering an external enemy.
If it is a foreign enemy, then the first suspect of the power that can make multiple archmages fall into trouble together must be the Holy See, but Pere and even Merlin are not necessarily without motives;
If it is infighting, the situation is more reassuring to Lin An, after all, since Andre's teacher is traveling with that group of people, he will not be unguarded, and on the bright side, it is likely to support it for a longer time;
Of course, there is one last factor that cannot be ignored, and that is the Land of Death itself, although Lin An did not go deep at the beginning, he also knew that the danger in the depths of the Land of Death was enough to put the powerful masters of Andre and his party in a difficult situation - now it seems that she may have underestimated the danger.
"Dilemma, dilemma...... Which one is it? ”
Lin An opened the bracelet space, and a new message note appeared in the message box, which was from Lancet, and before that, John, Angelia and Salin also replied one after another, and the two siblings Andre and Shirrill had no response.
This completely eliminates the probability of errors in speculation and divination.
Everyone noticed the eagerness in Lin An's inquiry, and also saw Lin An's message to Andre's brothers and sisters, so Salin asked directly in the message note: "Andre, what happened to them?" ”
The matter is very important, Lin An didn't care about hiding it, but she didn't reveal more, and left a message to Salin: "Yes, something happened." Where are you now? At the same time, she left the same inquiry for others.
Time is running out, and it is almost impossible to reach out to the place of death far away in the sea outside the Holy Empire in two days, and rescue Andre and them.
But Lin An is not without thinking, after learning some of the information, a method that may be helpful quickly appeared in her mind, but whether it can succeed or not requires the cooperation of others, as well as some luck.
There are less than two days left.
Saleen, who had probably been keeping an eye on the information box, quickly replied, "Ice Field, I'm still near Gaunt City. ”
"Very good, I need your help......" Lin An muttered to himself, while also writing the same sentence on a larger sticky note, followed by dense content.
Once she was done, she put the notes in Saleen's message box, followed by notes for John, Angelia, and Ranster.
Of the three, the first two remained in the imperial capital of Pere after the return of the royal envoys of Merlin.
Initially, the silver bullet offensive of Johann Mtong Guò, who remained in Danton, and the power brought by Emperor Jupiter, also weaved a network of contacts in Danton, from the commoners to the aristocratic ruling class, plus some help from the Duchy of Ryan and Anatoly who remained in Danton, and the departure of Randster did not have a devastating effect on Johann's business connections.
And after that, Johann even got in touch with Emperor Jupiter as Randster's liaison in Danton:
Through the Artemis bracelet, Lanster can maintain smooth and efficient contact with Emperor Jupiter, maintaining his friendship with Emperor Jupiter and his influence on the latter, the trust and friendship of Emperor Peret is Lanster's political capital that cannot be abandoned, no matter how far away the actual distance is, they must maintain and deepen this relationship.
And John's own aristocratic status, there is no identity barrier in contact with the upper class, this convenience, coupled with John's own calm character, he and Emperor Jupiter many times, over time, it is not difficult to gain the trust of Emperor Jupiter, become another favored "friend" of Emperor Jupiter.
And because he has already appeared and begun to enter the upper circle of Dandong, it is impossible for John to run through the network of contacts of the lower aristocratic circles and the low-level commoners, so the help that Lin An left for John before leaving Dandong played a role:
Among them, the flower fairies from Paradise Island have expanded the network of connections of the middle and lower nobles and the rich merchant class, and their identity and talent conditions determine that they can easily obtain a lot of secret information that even the upper nobles do not necessarily know, which is controlled by Angelia, who sent her family back to Merlin and then returned;
And Hannibal's butler presided over the low-level civilian information network, including the mercenary class, among them, Medusa, the owner of the underground tavern that Lin An had previously subdued, contributed a lot to it-
The addition of these two networks in terms of news is enough to help John expand in the upper circles, and the latter can feed back and shelter the first two.
And the last piece of the puzzle piece of this intelligence network comes from Ryan's remnants of the intelligence line in Dandong.
Although because of the Black Torch Festival incident, this intelligence network has completely retracted its tentacles and retreated into the darkness, intending to refrain from activities for a short time.
But that was built without help, Ryan did not expect that Randster could gain such a high trust from Emperor Jupiter, in the case of the former Grand Duke Rincester, and then John, so that the lack of Ryan's intelligence network in the upper circle of Danton was compensated, and they also re-activated, cooperated with John, and hit it off with each other.
And Anatoly is Ryan's host who stayed in Danton, the relationship and friendship between the two sides make the foundation of trust between them more stable, and even some things that are inconvenient to deal with by overt means, John can also use Ryan's intelligence power to solve them, and the cooperation between them has deepened, which has also invisibly made the relationship between Ryan and Lin An closer, even in this process, Lin An and Gustav, the two main figures, are on separate sides.
Of course, the weaving of the intelligence network can never be without the support of financial resources, and the huge wealth from the Assassin Brotherhood that Lin An left to John has played a huge role in the development of the intelligence network.
Although with the help of many conditions such as the right time, place and people, in just half a year, weaving a network that has begun to take shape and has gradually played its role is inconceivable even for Lin An, and it is still a person who has never undergone special training to do such incredible deeds, and in the eyes of Anatoly, who is familiar with the difficulties of intelligence work, it is a miracle at all.
However, the occurrence of this miracle is not without reason, and it fully reflects the timeliness and superiority of information after it is communicated and used in a timely manner.
Because of such a situation, if it happened in the information age where Lin An lived, it would not be worth mentioning at all.
At that time, the convenience of various communication and information carriers in exchanging information was unimaginable for people at this time, from telegram, walkie-talkie, telephone, QQ, and even Facebook, a forum website for information disclosure
Smooth information communication can make information resources quickly transformed and utilized, and here as a communication channel carrier, it is undoubtedly the Ring of Artemis.
To take the simplest example, when the ministers trying to find out why Emperor Jupiter was unhappy one day were racking their brains at home, John, who had received Lancet's guidance, had already learned of the young emperor's hidden anguish about his body shape, and with the help of Andre's magic potion made by Zuò, he gained the emperor's favor, and was able to get the opportunity to contact the emperor many times for a long time through the magic potion that Guò needed to take for a long time. Can John effectively dodge a lot of jealousy and interest driven by open guns and hidden arrows, and the changing trend of the upper power of the human race controlled by Lin An can help John gain a firm foothold and exert influence on Emperor Jupiter to change the situation when necessary.
These things are actually not worth mentioning, and even the emperor's close courtiers may not be unaware of the information that Lancet knows, but they cannot meet the following conditions, so they cannot integrate resources, combine information and resources, and immediately turn them into advantages.
This is a typical case of efficient communication of information and resources through instant channels and rapid transformation into practical advantages, which has happened countless times.
With the intellectual power of Lin An, the backing of Andre's brothers and sisters, the think tank of Sarin, the status of Ranster today, and the intelligence resources controlled by John, this group of people is located in various places, and the timely communication of information will not distract them in the slightest, but can more efficiently use and exchange each other's resources and information, and extend their tentacles.
The basis for this exchange of information resources is trust between them, but what binds this group of people together is more than trust, the Ring of Artemis has bound them together, a small group of secret and closed people.
This is also an important reason why Lin An has confidence in other people, even Salin, as long as he has a long-term vision, he will never betray them lightly.
In a certain way, the role of the Ring of Artemis in this era is no less than that of an artifact.
It is precisely because of seeing the potential in this area that Lin An will let the Ring of Artemis occupy one of the three conditions after extending the life of Emperor Alabham, and cross the clear path.
Because both she and the emperor know that the real protagonist in the three conditions is actually only the Ring of Artemis, and only this treasure is worthy of saving the emperor's life, assuming that when the northern front is defeated, when the envoys send envoys, when the Holy See announces the Eastern Crusade, and even when Merlin's intelligence officers obtain secret information, Merlin can obtain information through the Ring of Artemis, then perhaps, the situation on the mainland will be very different now.
Therefore, in a certain way, Lin An can be regarded as one of the driving forces behind the current situation on the mainland, and the subtle attitude of the three empires and many powerful forces towards her is not without reason.
