Chapter 54: Simple and Brutal Persuasion
“…… It may be an illusion, but I think it's better to be a little careful. Fastest update"
"You mean, a fleeting sense of surveillance, but no trace of it?" Claire's voice came from the other end of Arcus, "Even if you say that...... There's nothing to track down. ”
"Didn't you say that one of the terrorists seems to have experience from the church? I can't say for sure. Heliga wasn't sure, "Anyway, you just need to know what you know." ”
“…… I know. That said, thank you for the blind spot you found earlier...... As for the underground sewers, it was indeed my men who were negligent while patrolling. "Heliga's intelligence helped the gendarmerie to repair the patrol routes throughout the Notre-Dame Park area early this morning, not only at the entrance and exit of the sewers, but also to re-staffing the entire outer area. As for the potential escape issue that the two had argued about before, it has also been further corrected.
But even so, this time Claire still felt that Helliga was a little too sensitive.
It's just that after cutting off the communication, Claire gradually felt uneasy in her heart.
After a long time, she dialed another person's contact.
"The workers at the port quit their jobs in unison?" After finishing the patrol, Heliga ran to be lazy again, and at this time he was lying on the recliner in the cubicle of a nearby coffee shop, but was attracted by Fei's words, "Or last night?" ”
"Hmm. I looked at the cashier's sheet at the port, and they had only been working for the last few weeks, so it was a little suspicious, but there was another thing that was hard to explain...... Several long-term security guards, who had been employed to work at night, also disappeared. ”
"If that's the case...... There's a big suspicion of ghosts there. "If you want to transport any dangerous goods, the waterway security in the suburbs of the imperial capital is the most relaxed...... Is there a way to pull up their incoming records and check it? ”
"The terminal where the incoming goods records are stored appears to have been vandalized and cannot be opened. The staff at the dock are also struggling with this. Faye replied.
"That's almost certainly a suspicion of terrorism...... Report the matter to Instructor Sarah. ”
"Good. By the way, then again......"
"Huh?" Fei's tone was hesitant, and Helriga asked suspiciously.
"Did His Highness Oliveat promise you something?"
There was an eerie silence.
"Sort of...... It's hard to say clearly now. For a long time, Heliga could only give such an answer, and his feelings for Elfin were honestly only a few sides. But he didn't know why he was so interested in Elfin.
There is an answer that has been hidden in the depths of his heart, and he has been avoiding it, that is, when he first met Fei, he also had this attitude.
The answer is self-explanatory.
It's just that Fei's straightforward question made him a little flustered in his heart.
"Ah...... Is it. Fei's voice softened a lot, but for some reason, "I'll report to the instructor later...... You...... Be careful yourself. ”
“…… Alas, what the hell is this. Heiliga smiled wryly and shook her head.
Take a deep breath to calm your mind, put aside the problems of personal feelings for the time being, and boast that you want to ensure the safety of Elfin. What if something happens, if someone gets hurt......
Little by little, the sun moved and soon moved above people's heads. The bells of Heimdall Cathedral struck twelve times, and two floats drove slowly down the avenue outside Balfraim Palace to the cheers of the people.
"What's going on? And what about the gendarmes who were supposed to be on duty here? Returning to the square area of Notre-Dame Park again, looking at the somewhat chaotic patrolmen, Heliga was very surprised, and pulled the soldiers aside and asked.
"It's noon...... People have to eat something. "It was clear that the gendarmes in front of him didn't take Hayliga to heart, even if it was a person with security documents from Captain Claire, but after all, he was just a student.
The members of the gendarmerie, who thought highly of themselves, disdained to obey such orders, so that they were ostensibly respectful of Heliga, and when they turned around, they forgot all about Heliga's arrangement.
"Alas...... Sometimes the power of authority is really invisible. Deliberately hiding his sense of presence in China, Heiliga actually suffered a little on such an occasion, which couldn't help but make him feel very funny. However, he had long thought that such a situation might occur, so he sighed helplessly and took out another thing slowly.
"Eat slowly...... Eat slowly. When you're done eating, come back to see me. ”
“…… Yes!! When the gendarme heard this, he couldn't help but look back, and then he was startled by the thing in Heliga's hand. He opened his eyes wide and looked at it carefully in horror, for fear that something would go wrong, but that attitude was completely gone.
"Do you want to continue your lunch break? What's the matter, but that's it? Heiliga said with a smile, and then suddenly slapped his hand in the face of the gendarme, so frightened that the latter closed his eyes and staggered, "Continue not to take me seriously?" ”
"No...... Don't dare ......" The gendarme bowed his head for no other reason than that what Heliga was holding was Oliebat's personal belongings, the token of the royal family.
His Royal Highness gave such an important thing to the person in front of him, and at this moment, any suspicion about the railway gendarmerie and dissatisfaction with Captain Claire disappeared in an instant.
"Do you know where he is? Get all the people who were supposed to be here on duty! Take good care of yourself at your post! Her Royal Highness will come here to preside over the event in less than half an hour, what are you talking like you are so lazy! There was a sharp reprimand, and the gendarmes in front of him could only nod their heads in agreement. When the surrounding gendarmes saw this scene, they also swallowed their saliva and resumed the task they were supposed to do.
"I heard that most of the gendarmerie are from noble backgrounds, so they can be selected to be by the emperor's side, .p is very difficult to deal with." Heliga remembered the information he had learned in small talk, "But you can't be angry about the security of the royal family......"
Olibat has given himself a secret weapon such as the royal coat of arms, which must be very trusting of himself, both in terms of position and ability. So far, none of them want to get involved in a dispute between the two factions, but it looks like the situation is about to change soon.
The first time I agreed to help, but from a rational point of view, it was a good choice to have a relationship with Elphin and the royal family, which was only good for me. But as the saying goes, plans can't keep up with change...... Heliga also became more and more unable to understand his emotional contradictions.
"You...... Be? As Heliga watched the gendarmes in the park reorganize their patrols, a voice behind him drew his attention back to reality.
