Chapter 86: Escape
"We've been here long enough, are you going to continue talking to him about 'our' plans?"
The Demacians in the room haven't figured out what this is all about, but it doesn't matter to Clarence, there's only so much he can do now, let the Demacians solve the problem themselves, after Brody turned to leave, several officers walked into the room and began to explain to the abandoned spies what happened, Clarence had no reason to stay here, he quietly walked out of the room from behind the crowd, just as he was about to continue to discuss the next issues with Brody, Mussel grabbed him and asked in a low voice in a cold tone.
Years of cooperation have given the two of them enough understanding, almost all actions after coming to Demacia are decided by Clarence, although there are some troubles in the process between them, but everything is still under his control, plus this time he successfully entered this base without any plan, which has made this young man a little carried away, coupled with the temptation to provoke the task of provoking civil strife in Demacia, if he continues to be so proud, he will definitely bring unexpected trouble to himself, Although he didn't plan to say anything more about this operation, when things got to this point, Mussel knew he had to do something.
"Relax man, we've only been here for two hours, these Demacians are far more stupid than I thought, don't be so worried about =one=this=read=novel xstxt."
In the face of his friend's reminder, Clarence didn't show too much attention, there was no previous cautiousness on his face, the rest was only confidence or conceit, at least in his opinion, the current Mussel was as careful as a child worried that the candy in his pocket would be snatched away, he patted Mussel on the shoulder, and said in a smug tone that was difficult to hide.
"No matter how stupid the opponent is, do what you have to do, listen, just ......" It seems that it is more appropriate for Clarence to say this, but this time, it was Mussel who preached, but after saying this, he regretted it a little, because he knew that it was not convincing to Clarence now, although he wanted to tell him about Phyllis's doubts before, but after considering the surrounding situation, he still took a more tactful approach, "Well, even if they don't recognize our identities at the moment, But please pay attention to Phyllis's expression, do you really think there is no problem? ”
If it weren't for Mussell's reminder, Clarence might not have noticed Phyllis's current state, after discovering that this place was all abandoned spies, Phyllis's expression had never changed so gloomy, she just followed behind Mussel a little mechanically without saying a word, as if she had forgotten what her current identity was, seeing this situation, Clarence also understood something, but when Mussel was waiting for him to decide to leave immediately, the answer he got made him stunned: "Is she worried about other captured spies?" …… Sure enough, it's just a little girl, you're right, I'm going to see Brody alone, you take her to rest for a while, and I'll contact you when the mission is complete. ”
Did this guy deliberately misunderstand what he meant......? Before Mussel could speak, Clarence had already left here quickly, he didn't want to arouse Brody's suspicion because of this, looking at his back as he left, Mussel couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and without saying a word, he pulled Phyllis up and turned away.
……
"I'm sorry, it took me some time to talk to my people, by the way, I didn't hit too hard just now, did I get hurt?"
As Clarence walked out of the camp, Brody was standing waiting for him, and after taking a deep breath quietly, he stepped forward with a smile, not forgetting to care about the officer who had worked with him earlier.
"Of course, no problem, as long as it works, I don't mind being thrown from the second floor by you."
A serious joke tends to have a stronger effect, and this little humor even makes Brody can't help but bend the corners of his mouth, but he quickly transforms the smile into a dry cough: "Let's talk about this later, your first two goals have been achieved, can you talk about the last goal?" ”
"Of course, then first ......"
"It's not appropriate to stand here and talk, you should be the first time to come to this base, I'll show you around here, and let's talk about it by the way."
Is this some form of trust? If he still had doubts about his identity, he probably wouldn't do it, Clarence had no reason to turn down the invitation, and under Brody's leadership, the two gradually integrated into the base.
It was a fairly large open space, and although the lights around it were not bright, it was not a problem for Brody, who had been serving here for decades, and he gave Clarence a brief introduction to the situation as he walked, but during this journey, he did not mention anything related to the traitor at all, although it was right to introduce himself to this place, but ...... Is it really okay to take a leisurely walk here in the early hours of the morning?
"General...... Thank you for introducing me here, but shouldn't we think about how to catch those traitors and spies first, that's the most important thing right now, isn't it? “
After walking for a while, Clarence finally couldn't help himself, and he interrupted Brody as politely as he could, trying to take the reins into his own hands again.
"Don't be in such a hurry, your method is really effective, I think soon we will find out all the potential traitors, since we don't have much clue available to trace their whereabouts right now, why not just wait a little longer and find out some information from these people first?"
This is exactly what Clarence wanted to say, his original plan was to use this excuse to quickly go to the next city, these Demacians could just provide them with the transportation they needed and the right identity, after being preempted by Brody, he could only continue: "This is also my idea, in this case, I will quickly go to the next city with my people......"
"Are you going to another base so soon? It's getting late, don't you need to rest here for a while? “
What's going on with this person? This is like the words of a general, it is completely the proprietress of an inn, Clarence frowned, but still kept a serious expression and replied: "The investigation here has been completed, these people have been proven to have no suspicion, His Majesty does not want to wait too long, we just need to rest for a while on the way......"
"And then go on to find and rescue your people?"
As soon as these words came out, the temperature between the two dropped below freezing almost instantly, and Clarence's heart almost stopped beating...... What does this mean, is he already aware of his identity? No, maybe it was just a small temptation, he forced himself to look puzzled, frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?" “
"You speak Demacian fluently, and even have a Holant accent, plus the Emblem of Radiance, I didn't even recognize it at first" Brody said as he spoke, but his footsteps didn't stop at all, "Although the appearance of the three of you is a bit sudden, considering the special nature of the Glorious Mission, this is not a problem, but one thing that you, even most of the spies and intelligence agency staff, don't know is that when they enter the Demacian intelligence network to work, We all secretly leave a small circle on their body, which only reacts to certain patterns of magic and can be tracked, although this requires specific tools or trained magicians to do so, but do you think there is no such thing in such a military base? “
What the......? There is such a thing...... However, this made Clarence a little confused, and now that his identity has been revealed, he has nothing to hide: "In that case, why would you let us in here?" “
"There are two reasons for this, first, all the spies have exactly the same magic circle, and on that alone, we can't determine that the girl is Phyllis, so I just bet on it, if there is no problem with your identity, then it is naturally the best, if you are really the three people we are looking for, this is the best chance to catch you and all your companions, sending all the spies and intelligence agents here is a brilliant idea, they should know better than me about the number of people, Isn't it ridiculous that just over 100 people think 'the investigation is complete'? “
Damn it...... Clarence finally paid the price for his conceit at this time, but it didn't matter, even if he was facing a general, if he wanted to escape, it wouldn't stop him, just when Clarence was ready to escape, Brody said to himself: "Young man, I haven't finished my words yet, I still can't be sure based on the above points alone, because there was a glorious member who was killed before, if you are a new member, it's normal not to know these conditions, but, You are missing the most important point, which is the importance of being a good player and a companion. “
When asked about it later, Clarence knew what had happened, and after asking how long they had been working together, Mussel's answer was naturally the same as Clarence's, but Phyllis gave a completely different answer, five years, this is the answer she gave, and this number was not her nonsense, in fact, when answering this question, it was the fifth day after his first meeting with Clarence.
"Well, you already know enough, I'll have to tell you to shut up, but before I do, please tell me something I want to know."
