Chapter 218: Rush to work
The imperial capital of Heimdall, a bustling city during the day, is much less hot at night. While there are still plenty of bars and other venues still open to the public, and a small number of people are just getting their nightlife in the beginning – for most of the people in the imperial capital, they are reluctant to choose to come out at this time. Especially after the incident that happened two months ago, not only did they themselves feel fear in their hearts, but the Imperial Capital City Hall also strengthened the relevant security protection work. If you appear on the block at this time and act suspiciously, you can easily be invited to tea by the gendarmerie, and the average person will never take this risk.
However, there are two people who have to be in a very suspicious place tonight - the Sanket district is the most prestigious and cultural part of the imperial capital, with a large number of libraries, museums, and two well-known schools in the country, as well as Heimdall Cathedral, the headquarters of the Church of the Seven Dawns in the Empire, but it is not the bright lights that nightlife requires. If someone appears here in the middle of the night and wanders around a certain place repeatedly, it will definitely be noticed by the former gendarmerie patrolmen. Therefore, when Martha heard that Garcia asked her to clean up and go out with her at night, she couldn't help but wonder if she had heard it wrong.
"That's right, it's night. During the day, there are so many people here that it is impossible to conduct an expedition. Isn't that the kid the most important thing? We can't mess up. Garcia answered her question.
"However, in the event of being discovered...... Martha was puzzled, as Olibat should have come to greet them and give them a document to ensure their legal identity. But after they met with Olybat, the latter felt that if they got the documents, more information would be revealed to the gendarmerie in a sense, and the gendarmerie itself could be regarded as a force of the aristocratic faction - so whether to give a legal and reasonable permission of way, Olibat also planned to think again. However, a letter from Luray disrupted all this, and in order to seize as much evidence as possible, Oliebat had to go on his own behalf to the Zaxon Iron Mine, one of the royal possessions, to see what the anomalous accounts there really meant, and the plan had to be shelved. Seeing that the agreed day with Levi was getting closer and closer, Garcia, who knew that it would be too late if he didn't act, could only help Martha make up her mind.
"Don't worry. Even though I'm big, I know a lot about hiding myself. Besides, this is a busy city, not a vast plain, and the difficulty of hiding is even lower, at least there is no problem in ensuring that it is not discovered by the gendarmerie people. Without that to say, Martha, our goal tonight is to scout the major intersections around the Women's College and determine which route is best to get out of the neighborhood quickly and avoid going into other neighborhoods. According to our observations during the day, the two main roads in the east of the college, because they are the location of the light rail station in the city, generally have a large flow of people, and are not suitable for escape in case of emergencies, while the west is where the cathedral is located, and the situation is similar...... To the south is to the Place de la Draquells, where the presence of the Royal Palace, in the event of a rebellion, would definitely be listed as the biggest target, and it was absolutely impossible to go - the only option was here, the north side of the city. ”
"Over there, it seems to lead to the area where the theater is located?" Martha recalled her observations in the morning, "But there was a lot of traffic there, right?" ”
"That's right...... But don't forget that the core area of the theater is for the wealthy class of the country, as well as the aristocracy, and if it is to be controlled, it will definitely not be the first to be controlled, and it will not be used in particularly violent ways. At the same time, the theater itself has been cherished by the country for centuries, and for that sake alone, they try to avoid setting foot in the area at the height of the fighting. At least if we use it to escape, it's definitely enough. ”
"Makes sense...... Or are you thoughtful. Martha nodded admiringly, she only cared about observing the flow of people, and didn't think about these details at all, "Should I say that I deserve to be a top hunter?" ”
"It's just the experience that must have been accumulated over decades. If you want to learn, you should be able to learn it quickly. Garcia said modestly, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's split up and figure out the details around us." Because it was night, there were not many people, but we were more able to observe the path itself, and if we needed to, we could use them to shake off our pursuers. ”
"Yes." Martha replied.
"Be careful, don't get too close to that school." "From high up, I've carefully observed the night guards at that school...... Should it be said that it is worthy of the prestigious school of the eldest lady? There are a few guards there who are very strong, and even I am afraid that it will not be possible to take them down in a while. When the time comes, if you get their attention, it will be very troublesome, and you must pay attention to it - hide your existence as the first task, and take as much information as you can get. ”
"Yes." Martha replied, crouched down slightly, and disappeared from one of the city's alleys. A few minutes later, when the two gendarmes had left in a neat pace, the figure of the girl reappeared in the night. At the same time, Garcia's body moved back and forth with an unbelievable speed in his physical condition, which was even more imperceptible to the gendarmes.
"Whew...... Looks like nothing is wrong. Garcia wiped his sweat, all the details had been confirmed and had been firmly engraved in his mind. If time permitted, he originally planned to conduct a review of the surrounding area of the imperial capital, but the plan could not catch up with the changes. However, he was very confident, if the "Sword Emperor" was also involved at that time, it should not be difficult to get rid of the pursuit.
"How? Sir? This ......" In the darkness that Garcia did not perceive, a soldier in a gray military uniform asked the blonde man beside him with some concern.
"Wait...... They don't look like people who want to make trouble, but like ......" The blonde officer did not voice his guess, but once again raised the military binoculars in his hands. They had been watching these two men for a long time, and if it was someone with suspicious signs, they would have been arrested a long time ago - but the problem was that these two people had met with His Highness Olibat, so it was likely that going straight would have led to subsequent problems. But in any case, strange behavior is to be tracked.
"Michael Shaozo." His thoughts were interrupted by a low, but slightly frivolous male voice.
