1198 Fragments of Truth

After another period of entanglement, Duan Qing and the others really figured out what the true identity and role of the nine-fingered beggar in front of him was, this guy who looked rather sloppy and didn't even have complete clothes and equipment, but was actually one of the players who served the empire's intelligence agencies. The Imperial Intelligence Network under the command of the Susas family also shouldered an important mission and task in the operation of this investigation team, and they naturally invested a lot of troops in the investigation team, but even Duan Qing did not expect that these people would actually hand over part of the intelligence network work to the player in front of them.

Of course, judging from the current results, it may be a wrong choice to hand it over to this player.

"So you cowered and didn't dare to say it because you lost the information?"

"Well, that's a list of people I need to contact this time, it's a very important thing...... I, I don't know what you're trying to do here! You didn't make it clearβ€”"

"Although it is possible to anticipate the possible bloodshed within the Principality and the imminent loss of the Imperial Intelligence Network, it is ...... Damn, we actually waste so much time on this person? ”

"It's not necessarily a waste of anything, even if we find the wrong person, we should still have time-"

Bang!

A loud earth-shaking sound suddenly appeared in the ears of several people, accompanied by a large cloud of dust rising from a certain direction above the Fars Fortress, and everyone who was holding a certain beggar player with their hands and feet then glanced at Duan Qing, who was the last to speak, with helpless eyes, and then ran towards the central area of the fortress that erupted with a large number of exclamations: "Something really happened!" ”

"Tell Lot! Be vigilant! Don't let suspicious people get involved! ”

"Zhao Liu'an is responsible for informing the rest of the people in Lanshan, try to count the number of people first, and the rest ...... Come with me to that fortress first! ”

"It doesn't look like the location of the command post, we just visited it yesterday...... Wait a minute, does anyone know where today's meeting is taking place? ”

The falling bricks and stones and the shouts of one after another continued to fill the ears, and several people who were giving orders from all directions then ran together to the front of the huge fortress where the explosion had occurred, and countless running Duchy soldiers were also entering and exiting the door of the building with each other's shouts and weapons, and some of them even had buckets full of water and countless salvage supplies being carried out. After saying hello to Lord Isaac who was waiting in front, Duan Qing and the others, who had broken into the building with their identities, quickly rushed to the vicinity of the scene, and then found Princess Rena, who was supported by Count Dipromar, in the noisy and chaotic scene: "Your Highness! Are you alright? ”

"It's fine."

Squinting his eyes and glancing at the identity of the person who came, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, whose face was covered with gray marks, then coughed and waved her arm heavily in front of her: "General Dusk, I need an explanation." ”

"It's you who need to be explained."

Standing in the corner of the corridor not far away with his hands behind his back, Dusk, who was stared at by Princess Rena, shook his head with a sad face: "Although I regret the death of your imperial soldier, it is obvious that he triggered the explosion of the magic bomb, and this small bomb that takes into account both practicality and power is also a new product developed by your empire......"

"Presumptuous! Are you accusing our empire of causing this attack? ”

"I don't dare to say that, I'm just stating the facts, the fire should be extinguished in a while, and then we can return to the scene and make sure again-"

"Hey, hey."

Quietly called twice, and Duan Qing, who walked to the corner, then quietly summoned Lot, who had arrived here at some point, to him: "What is the situation now?" Can you elaborate a little bit? ”

"I've just arrived here, but as far as I know, it looks like someone has detonated a magic bomb." Lot's voice was also full of deliberately suppressed meaning: "Now everyone is arguing about who planted this bomb in, it stands to reason that this is the negotiation venue provided by the principality, and they are the most suspicious people, but Dusk insists that a soldier from the Empire brought the bomb in, and it seems very certain......"

"Were there no casualties at the scene?" Looking up at the dilapidated room that was still billowing out with smoke, Duan Qing's brows furrowed slightly: "With such a huge momentum, no one was hurt in the end?" ”

"That's the question I want to ask." Glancing at the faces of Rena and Dusk, who were accusing each other in front, Lot's expression also became strange: "They seem to have started this argument in front of them since I came here, and they didn't think about casualties at all, and my brothers and I of the Rock Bear Army have been prepared for a long time, but we haven't brought out a single casualty until now......"

"Lot!"

The fierce argument finally reached the most critical level, and the voice belonging to Princess Rena suddenly sounded behind the two people: "You come over to me!" Is there a man named Bob in the Empire's entourage? ”

"Back to Your Highness, there is indeed a soldier named Bob." Hurriedly walked behind Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and Lot, who had raised her fists, replied in a solemn voice, "Your Highness needsβ€”"

"Don't talk yet."

The white palm covered with braided ribbons and ornate gems then blocked in front of Lot, and the voice belonging to Rena then swept in the direction of Dusk: "Marshal, are you sure that this attack was planned by the soldiers of our principality?" ”

"Of course, because the only one walking towards that flashpoint was the soldier." Dusk's expression was still indifferent but affirmative: "Although I don't know if you have the ability to control it remotely, judging from the situation at the time, only he has the opportunity to detonate this tragedy......"

"Tragedy? What kind of tragedy is that small power? Not to mention the soldiers of your principality, none of the soldiers of our empire were killed. ”

"Of course, after all, you also have your own safety in mind, so you want to warn us in this way, don't you?"

"What? It's just nonsense! What are the benefits of doing this? And what proof do you have? ”

"Of course there are benefits, such as you can blame all the attacks that happened to you in the past to our principality...... As for the dead Bob, it's a character you can choreograph at willβ€”"

"That's right! That's it! ”

The angry expression suddenly turned into a smile, and Rena, who had been stretching out her finger forward, turned to look sideways at Lot's face: "Your Excellency, General, where is Bob now?" ”

"In the barracks, of course." Lot, who lowered his head, replied in a deep voice, "Do you need to bring him here now?" ”

"No need, save having to slap someone in the face."

With a hint of sarcasm in her smile, Rena turned to look at Dusk's face again: "Did you hear that, Lord Dusk?" The culprit of the empire you have decided on is not actually our person at all! Our people are still alive! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What the? Dusk's expression became visibly unnatural: "What's going on?" ”

"I beg your pardon for interrupting your conversation, but this discussion doesn't make any sense at all."

Finally found an opportunity to insert this conversation, and the figure belonging to Duan Qing then also drilled out from behind Lot: "The goal of finding the murderer is to confirm the identity of the murderer, but the identities of all the people around us are now obviously confused, and some people are deliberately using methods and means to confuse identities in an attempt to sow discord between us. ”

"This Mr. Bob, whom you have identified as the attacker for some reason, may not be him at all." He gestured to the outside of the fortress and smiled mysteriously, "As for who he really is, and who arranged for this incident - that's not what we can confirm now." ”

"Are you the adventurer who visited me yesterday?" Frowning and thinking for a while, Dusk's gaze then fell on Duan Qing's body: "I remember that you and your companion came to explain something similar last night...... Why, are you still arguing for this possibility? ”

"Of course, after all, our Bob didn't even show up for this negotiation." Duan Qing gestured together in the direction where Rena and Lot were: "There has been such a big discrepancy in the facts, we can't still think in an ordinary way, right?" We don't have the slightest intention of blaming the principality, but from the impersonation, to the attack on the Mage Council's agents, and the bombing of the negotiation venueβ€”"

"There are so many strange events going on in Fars Fortress, there must be a reasonable explanation."

He spread his hands, and his gaze passed by the location of Princess Rena and General Dusk at the same time, and the silence opposite to the fire field then lasted for a long time between these people, and then was interrupted by a purple-haired figure that suddenly appeared behind Duan Qing: "......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Pregnant? ”

Reaching out to take what Violet handed over, Duan Qing asked in a low voice, and the purple-haired woman, who was still silent, then lowered her head deeply, and then slowly disappeared into the air along with the hood that covered her face: "...... Really, I still don't want to show my head. ”

"Who is she?"

"Ah, one of our adventuring party."

Slightly relieved, Duan Qing, who turned around, then faced Marshal Dusk, who asked loudly, with a calm gaze: "She found some traces of magic nearby, and then followed these traces to find this." ”

"It's ...... Fragments of the magic bomb. ”

Reaching out and taking a small original metal piece handed over by Duan Qing, Princess Rena frowned and looked at it for a while: "Speaking of which, Redkar did lose some portable magic bombs in a past auction, and these bombs were later used in the battle of the castle of Tbilisi, and no buyers have been found until now......"

"Is the bomb used this time the same one used in the castle of Thebilisi?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Diba, you go check it out. ”

Handing the metal fragment in his hand to the hands of a certain imperial royal magician behind him, Princess Rena's voice also carried endless seriousness: "If it is the same batch of goods, send the news back to the imperial capital and let Simon come forward to explain it to me." ”

"Understood."

His eyes inadvertently stayed on Duan Qing's body for a moment, and the imperial royal magician known as Diba then bowed down and left with the fragment in the distance of the fortress, and the eldest princess who put away her solemn face then took a deep breath, and her once-closed eyes also opened again with a calm light: "In this incident, it seems that there are a large number of clues that we don't know about. ”

"Until there is no conclusive evidence, we will refrain from each other for the time being." As if he understood what the other party wanted to say, Marshal Dusk, who was behind his back with one hand, also showed a helpless smile: "What does Your Highness think?" ”

"I agree with that, but I have one more request." Without the slightest change in her face, Eldest Princess Rena, who maintained her royal temperament, raised her wrist elegantly: "Since these potential unknown enemies are so reckless, then we will do the opposite." ”

"We hope to be able to get to Tania as soon as possible."

She said in a serious voice, while staring at Dusk's face tightly: "I hope that your country will fully consider this proposal." ”

"Of course, there is no problem, after all, this is the starting point for our reason for coming to greet and our goodwill to be tolerated."

Nodding his head slowly, Dusk's brow then furrowed slightly: "But...... With so much going on, our principality is no longer able to fully guarantee your safety. ”

"I understand." Looking back at the few subordinates who had been waiting behind her, Rena pulled her long golden hair and smiled: "Even if we encounter any danger, we will not blame you in the first place." ”

"In that case, then I have no reason to stop you." Taking a deep breath, Dusk then took a step back with several non-commissioned officers behind him: "Please." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Go and gather our people, and the mission will be on its way shortly. ”

Secretly giving Luo Te, Her Royal Highness Princess Rena then waved her hand at Duan Qing, who then bowed her head deeply in the subsequent order of the resolute princess, along with the bodies of the other imperial nobles and adventurers present: "Everyone is almost rested, right?" ”

"Your Highness." Taking a step forward, Dipromar, with a worried look on his face, then retreated to the camp of the Imperial side with an expression of wanting to say nothing: "Obey, Your Highness." ”

"Count your numbers and pack your bags." Nodding her head in satisfaction, Rena then hid her gaze under the long blonde hair that turned around, "Just hold on a little longer, our destination-"

"It's already close at hand."
