Chapter 40: The Aftermath

"I don't know what happened, but when I woke up, I was in that eerie cell."

"yes...... We hadn't met each other and didn't know what each other did. ”

"It's scary...... I just took the medicine that is said to improve my luck, but I didn't expect it to become like this......"

"Alright, alright...... Everyone, it's okay now...... It's all the fault of the criminal organization that produced the drug, and the Rubacher who spread it to you for illegal reasons. Estelle has grown up after all the events she has experienced, and at this moment she is unexpectedly patiently reassuring the frightened victims, "You don't need to worry about that...... All you have to do is go home and rest, study or work normally, and then the police investigators may find you to investigate, and you just have to cooperate with them and tell you all the information you know. ”

“…… You're a pretty good little girlfriend. In just a few months, he went from being a reckless guy to being such a talkative person. The guerrilla who came with the two of them said with half melancholy, half envy, "Liber...... Sure enough, as people say, it is a breeding ground for guerrillas. ”

"......" Joshua didn't speak, just looked at the old man of Crossbell's branch with a slightly sympathetic gaze. Wencaier was a guerrilla from the Empire, and the attitude of the imperial government and nobles towards the guerrillas was quite unfriendly. After the attack on the Imperial Branch two years earlier, Prime Minister Osborne instigated a conspiracy against the guerrillas, thus eliminating the guerrilla guild from the empire in one fell swoop. Since then, the association has been very pessimistic about the development of newcomers in the imperial region, and it is understandable that Wen Caier, who was born in the imperial capital, has mixed feelings about this.

"Alright...... Let's all be appeased. Estelle walked back from the crowd with a satisfied expression, "Now wait for the guys who are searching the second subject...... What's wrong, Joshua, is there anything on my face? ”

"Hmm...... Nothing, nothing, just wanted to say that Estil did an awesome job. Joshua mumbled, "Speaking of which, Estelle...... The last time we found that "Ancient Battlefield"......"

"When we went, we hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary...... However, at that time, "true knowledge" was only just emerging among the people...... So I didn't take it seriously. Astelle recalled, "Speaking of which, Heliga was able to notice ...... there."

"Eighty percent of the second boss of the fugitive "Lubacher" told him by some means." Joshua said, "Arius, they mentioned that the man named Garcia and Heliga were once part of the Zephyr. ”

"But didn't they play in the same period?" Estelle also recalled, "So that's not necessarily how she knew." ”

"yes...... It's all speculation anyway. But that aside...... Astelle, why do you think ...... Will Heliga go to this level? ”

"What do you mean?" Estelle didn't understand the meaning of Joshua's words.

"The D.G Order...... The matters related to this order were not solved by him in the first place...... He didn't participate in the action like his father did. "Yet he put a great deal of energy and interest into it...... And on many occasions, he did not hesitate to take risks alone, but in the newspapers, it was he who gave back to our guerrilla associations and the police department...... Although I knew that those things were probably not dangerous at all to him with the wonderful power he carried...... But what he would rather do separately from Fei is to be done, don't you think there is any deep meaning behind this? ”

"So...... Oh yes. Estelle understood what Joshua meant, but she didn't think much of it: "But so what? Heliga, although he always looks like he is on top, he actually cares about others...... Well, maybe it's just that this incident just gives him a sense of mission...... In other words, he's just a good person. Besides, that guy Fei, didn't you say don't worry about her before leaving, she is accompanied by the childhood sweetheart of the guy from the empire, the guy from Heiliga, the eldest lady of the empire named Laura? I'm afraid that's not a big concern...... Rather, letting the Fina child live without Helliga for a few months is also an opportunity to grow up to some extent. ”

"Istelle...... You...... I've really become able to speak well. Joshua looked at Estelle half pleased, half strangely, "Forget it, don't dwell on this anymore...... Anyway, it's not a bad thing that he can help. But it would be nice to be able to help with "that thing". ”

"Hey...... That's it. Estelle pulled down her face and complained, "He knows Ling's whereabouts, but he just keeps his mouth shut...... On the surface, what he said was "it only makes sense for you to use your own power to convey your voice to her", but in fact, he probably wanted to start before us! ”

"It's possible...... Don't forget, no matter how his family is said to be an imperial nobleman, and with the help of that guy from Olivier, it is not impossible to secretly arrange a legal identity for Ling. Joshua said earnestly, "And I've heard that he and Ling's biological parents...... Harold Haivas, a businessman who had been doing business in the Crossbell area for a long time, had several meetings. ”

"Hmm...... Although I didn't think about letting Ling meet her biological parents. "But I don't seem to be very good at dealing with these things...... Sure enough, it's better for us to take Ling away directly. ”

"You two ......" From the moment Estelle walked back to Joshua's side, Winzeel stood aside so as not to disturb the dumb couple's personal affairs—but the situation in front of him forced him to be an uninteresting fellow.

"Ah, Mr. Wincair, I'm sorry, we're talking too much." Mistakenly believing that it was the chatting action of the two that upset Wen Caier, Joshua hurriedly apologized.

"I didn't mean that...... Just you see, Michelle got in touch there. Wen Chael waved his hand to show that he didn't mean that, and then pointed to the "Anigema" in his hand, the red communication access indicator, which was flashing and flashing.
