Chapter 62: The Last Quiet Before the Storm
"Go back and rest." Extinguishing the life detection spell in his hand and confirming that no patrolling soldiers would approach, Helliga swaggered down the street with Faye. The two had already taken off their hoods - Fei said that he used to use it often and felt fine, but Heliga was almost suffocated to deathββ, and was chatting without a word.
"It's kind of incredible when you think about it." Heiliga casually raised his head and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, "This country is about to be covered by a haze, and I don't know how many chain reactions will follow...... The most trusted officers of the royal family have begun to overthrow the royal family and blackmail the upper echelons of the military and political circles, and those forces who are unwilling to be at his mercy are still in full swing against his plans, and the inhabitants of this place are still discussing the topic of inconsequential entertainment competitions in a bloody situation, and only the two of us outsiders are walking without any tension in this otherwise bustling street. β
"Hehe, yes." Fei smiled lightly and raised her head as well, "Moon...... It's so beautiful. β
"yes...... It's the moon again...... In other words, every time something happens to you, it's in the moonlight...... It's good when you're in the group, and it's good when you're gone......"
ββ¦β¦ It seems to be the same. With such a bright light, maybe you can sit down and read. β
"I really didn't expect you to have such a more ladylike hobby." Helliga scratched her head in surprise, "Do you want to really try it?" I'll be in charge of finding a place that won't be discovered by patrolling soldiers. β
"No need." Fei pretended to be angry and pursed her lips, and after a while, she couldn't help but laugh again, "Hi...... By the way, Mr. Nair's words, you are now in the palace, right? β
"I don't think so." Heiliga shook his head, "The patrol route is very tight, even he has to go around for a while. But as long as he arrives at the palace, it will be fine. β
"Yes." Fei nodded, "These reporters are very good at escaping or something...... Sometimes it's like a spy. They are not murderous, and sometimes they are more difficult to catch than spies. And that map shows all the patrol routes we've documented...... If he can't escape such a situation, it will really ruin his boastful reputation......"
"And not only that, I gave him a little extra help." Heliga was a little depressed, "For example, cat potion that enhances vision at night, white honey that can relieve pain...... (1) If it doesn't work......"
"And this kind of thing? It would have been good to take it out a long time ago, and it had made Miss Yulia miserable for so long. Upon hearing the painkillers, Fei asked strangely.
"Alas...... It's better not to let them know about these things...... You know that's enough, to put it bluntly, I don't believe in them that much, and the current relationship is only because the stakes are aligned. β
"That's true, but...... You also have to trust others more once in a while. Hearing Heliga's words, Faye's cheeks turned slightly red, and in order to hide her embarrassment, she quickly said, "Joshua and their ...... for example."
"Joshua is too suspicious, and that familiar aura is too ...... It's hard to believe him, at least rule out the suspicion of him and that Professor Yaroa...... I wonder if Nair can help me find out something after this is over......" Helriga shrugged helplessly, these things made him have no way at all, in a sense, Faye is right, not being able to really trust someone means that without real support from his peers, he can't last long.
"But you trust Mr. Nair and will bring us back what we want."
"It's not so much about believing in this man, it's about believing in his soul as a journalist. There is no journalist who does not want to write a sensational report that has caused a sensation in the world, and to use this kind of influence in the true sense to win the highest honor among journalists, just as there is no martial artist who does not want to try to touch the mysteries of the realm of reason...... Therefore, for this purpose, he will be very enthusiastic in his pursuit of all the information about this series of events, which is why we are complete strangers to him, but we are able to convince him by the means of a relationship...... That's the information we provide, and it's of great value to him now. β
"So you can just give him that map." Fei nodded.
"Anyway, you drew those patrol routes, and judging from your professionalism, it's impossible to forget them in a few days." Heliga shrugged nonchalantly, "Besides, if we're going to sneak in, I've got several ways to dodge patrols, and there's no real master among those soldiers." β
"Yes. But how do you know journalists are so ...... Crazy? Fei changed a word that sounded normal, and asked with some curiosity.
"Thanks to a certain eldest sister of the Crossbell News Agency." When it came to this, even Heiliga, who had always been young and old, had a headache, "That three-inch tongue is really ...... Alas...... It's unbearable, it's unbearable...... No wonder even Ariosgo and they have to avoid her......"
"I really want to see the person who can make a mess of Heliga." Fei's eyes were full of "I'm interested".
"It's okay, when we go back to the Empire, we'll pass through Crossbell...... If you don't mind, we can wait a few days. β
"Okay." Of course, Fei agreed, "I heard that there is a mascot theme park there?" "After all, it's a girl.,The resistance to cute things is very low.,Even if it's Fei.γ
"That Missy's theme park? I don't think it's been fixed yet. If it's another year, you should be able to play......"
"Really...... What a pity...... By the way, how did Helriga know so clearly? β
"Because in Crossbell, there is a fanatical Missy fan among my acquaintances......" Helliga helplessly held his forehead, in a sense that the guy was more difficult than Grace, "If you go, let's go and see it too......"
"Hmm...... Good. "Although it is very plain on the surface, Fei's curiosity is already very strong, Cross Bell, what kind of place is it?
"It's already here." Before they knew it, the two had walked more than half a block and returned to the door of the hotel where they were staying. From the shop window, the sound of the boss cleaning the floor of the hall can still be faintly seen, and it can be seen that it is late.
"It's almost time to rest, Fei." Heiliga smiled, but her eyes were full of determination, "This may be the last quiet night." β
"Hmm." Fei nodded, she had already made all the preparations, and she might be more invulnerable than the teenager in front of her.
After all, when it comes to preparing for war, she is the real professional. Compared with the teenager with a hint of casualness in front of her, she is the most professional and serious one.
After tonight, the gears of fate will irreversibly accelerate, sweeping all those involved into a vortex from which they cannot break free.
"Good night...... Phenanthrene. β
