Chapter Twenty-Six: Behind the Scenes
When he left Master Yogurus' workshop, Helriga felt very relieved.
Although Rei began to cry at the end, and it was not until a long time later that she slowly regained her composure, Heiliga knew that it was the result of the long-suppressed emotions that exploded in an instant. Ling has begun to learn to accept the kindness of others, and she has also begun to look at everything around her without colored glasses - this is a good thing, and she has nothing to worry about.
And sure enough, a few days later, Ling sent Heliga the information he wanted from Tolevy.
"Hmph...... Under the guise of a shell company in the empire, a strange financing behavior. Looking at the small movements of Harutman behind his back pointed out in the newspaper, Hailiga couldn't help but snort coldly, "All the sources of funds are the autonomous prefecture government...... Whereabouts...... Did it end up pointing to that hospital? ”
"Hmm." "After St. Ullas Medical School, the financial chain began to break apart...... There is no way to confirm many transactions in writing. However, Ling still found some clues that can confirm that your inference is correct...... remnants of the "Order" are in this hospital...... Sheltered by Speaker Harutman, he was also able to receive special funds from the government of the autonomous region from time to time. ”
"What is the nominal use of this money?" Heliga asked, even if Harutman and the remnants of the Order were planning something, they would have to do something superficial.
"On the surface, it's an epoch-making nutrient." Levi snorted, "Actually, it's the secret medicine that the Order used to torture people back then...... But now that the Order has largely collapsed, the survivor should be content to survive until now...... Why would he pick up all the thankless stuff they had done back then? ”
"Don't underestimate these crazy people...... In their hearts, however, they regard the so-called ideas and purposes as more important than their lives. Heliga recalls the time when he followed Zephyr to sweep through a certain area, and they would rather live in a filthy cave than complete their so-called demon-summoning ritual, "It's normal for that kind of person to endure until now for ulterior purposes, and to look for an opportunity to make a move. Levy, can you help? ”
"You want me to spy on that hospital?" Levi understood, "That's fine...... It's just that I can't stare around the clock, so I can only find time occasionally...... No problem? ”
"No problem...... As long as you make sure to be there for the night after three days, you'll be fine. Heliga smiled softly.
"Why that day?" Lévy was puzzled.
"All the activities of the founding memorial festival of Crossbell will end on that day...... And on the same night, there was a lavish banquet in his hometown where Speaker Harutman summoned all the Imperial parliamentarians—if it was that day, I guess what would have happened. After all, the vigilance of the garrison and the police department will definitely be reduced from then on. Heiliga explained, although he didn't expect much.
"I see...... However, there is a delay in their behavior, which seems to be a pattern that Ling deduces. Levi relayed another of Ling's findings, "I guess it's because their chain of action is too long, and it's difficult to move in the same way...... I'm afraid that's not a good judgment. ”
"We don't need to stare at Rubacher...... "Heliga laughs, "there's a mirror that reflects our opponent's form and actions better." ”
"Mirrors?" Levi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Black Moon, if it's Rubacher's old rival, he must be monitoring his opponent's every move at all times. Once they make a move, we can follow them. ”
"That's right...... However, although Cao guy has repeatedly promised to share information with us, it is not clear whether that guy will really tell us everything without reservation, or whether he will selectively disclose it to us. And the favor I earned with them had already been paid off by having that guy make a false account and share a lot of my profits in Crossbell's obsidian block business, and now it would be a bit of a loss to want them to do something...... So I still have to keep an eye on them. Therefore, the hospital will leave it to you. ”
"That's right." Levi understood, "I see...... Then I'll try to spare as much time as I can to help you keep an eye on that side. ”
"Hmm...... That's right. "Did you know that Black Moon gave me a ...... not long ago? I don't know if it's intelligence...... It didn't matter to them, but I was a little interested. ”
"What?" Levi raised an eyebrow.
"Although it's probably possible that I misunderstood...... But "Black Moon" seems to hint at the connection between the new heroine of the "Rainbow Troupe", Lixia Mao from the Republic, and them. ”
"Hmm......" Levi deserves to be Levi, not only did he not show a surprised look, but nodded: "Have they noticed this too...... If it's them who have a lot of dealings with that guy. ”
"You won't ......," Helriga was stunned, "you thought of going with them?" ”
"yes...... They suspect that "Silver" is Lixia Mao, right? Levi rightfully stated the fact that Black Moon couldn't really confirm after racking his brains, "It's well disguised, but I've seen both...... This is true both when she is wearing a mask and when she is taking off her mask. Besides, as an Assassin, he behaved a little like me...... Besides, it is strange that the guy still chooses to live in the slums of the old city despite having a share of the company's performance winnings. Even if you are a clean person who doesn't like the drunken city life, it is not a bad thing to go to West Street to change to a decent place to live. ”
"When you say that, you really ...... No, you've been observing since a long time ago? Heiliga was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to have found something unusual, and smiled evilly: "Sister Kaling of Heaven, ......"
"What are you talking about?" Levi gave him an angry look, "It's just information that I found out by chance...... If the "Wind Swordmaster" were to see her as "Silver", he would definitely be able to come to a similar conclusion. ”
"Is that so?" Heliga scratched her head.
"If you're interested, check it out for yourself." Levi turned around, "Although you don't have the same amount of time to cultivate in the martial arts as we do...... But I know you have a way to make sure it's the same person, don't you? ”
With that, Levi turned to leave.
"Did it hurt his heart...... Hey, maybe I'm too kidding. Heiliga looked at Levi's back as he left, and shook his head helplessly, "Forget it...... Let's go back and apologize to him. Let me see what Ling has worked so hard to put together......"
