31 This agent is not simple

Parrett's presence didn't surprise Milo, and his trademark hearty laugh reassured Milo that his companions outside were safe.

"Tell me what's been going on these days, how do you know I'm here?" Milo asked, he hadn't spoken to anyone for four or five days, and he was desperate to talk to someone.

"Well, I'm going to take my time." Parrett scratched her head, sat down slowly, and recounted the events of the past few days to Milo......

Not long after Milo left the convent five days earlier, Parrett and Erin explained to the Imperial officers there that Milo had killed Sevia, which was confirmed by the Klan and Green Dragon mercenaries, who happened to come down from the upper floor. Of course, the officers also rigidly stated that the emperor himself could only pardon him, and several of them, seeing that insistence was useless, decided to return to the Union first to discuss the next step. The officer sent someone to assist the wounded sailors to return to the Union, and reminded Erin that they should not leave for the time being, and that they should always be ready for the army to question and investigate. However, when they returned to the Union, they found that Melo had not returned, and at first they did not feel anything, but after nightfall they did not return, and the people began to think that something was wrong, and Captain Finn and Parrett went to the city to inquire about the news, and the night went back to nothing. Anxious, Erin calmly speculated on various possibilities, including asking Parrett to investigate where prisoners could be held in and around the city, and Parrett's first thought was the Sea Lion Castle, and sure enough, he inquired about Milo here.

Knowing that Milo was being held in a prison under the jurisdiction of the Empire, everyone was no longer worried, even if a judge wanted to try Milo, they would have to consider the important agreement that "the rebels can be pardoned", so it is unlikely that Milo's life is in danger at the moment, and everyone is still looking for a way to achieve the pardon: Koran suggested that Erin contact her adoptive parents first to inform them that she is currently in Wal City, and also ask them to help solve Milo's affairs. Captain Finn asked the sailors to spread the word that Milo had killed the rebel mastermind Sevia and was arrested by the Imperial Army, in an attempt to gain some protection for Milo from public opinion. Parrett secretly gathers information about the Imperial agent, as the agent doesn't know Parrett and can avoid suspicion.

"After two days like this, the little girl Akayi was so worried that she asked me to come and see you, I didn't expect you to be quite comfortable here, where are you running around like we are outside...... Hahahaha......" Parrett joked, he was happy to see that Milo was fine.

Milo also laughed, it was rare for someone to talk to him, and he was very pleased: "Has Kelan found any clues over there?" ”

"No...... At least not yet, but the Imperial Army believed that Sevia had rebelled for military power, and it is said that from the letters and documents confiscated, Sevia promised his supporters countless amounts of land, money, and status...... But only one thing is required: the army is to be under his command, just under his command! You must know that now the Sprelet army is simply invincible, Aube is basically surrendered, and Dragon is also vulnerable, so who is Sevia going to fight with when he commands the army? Don't you think that's weird? ”

"Isn't his acquisition of the army the acquisition of absolute power? Naturally, he is the emperor himself. ”

"No, no, his letter solemnly promised not to annex anyone who supported him and surrendered to him, and judging by the many bribes that have been put in place, he is serious!"

"Your sources are really ......"

"Alas, I have my sources, reliable and not expensive!" Parrett said proudly.

"That'...... What does Sevia want the army to do? Mello asked rhetorically, and at the same time fell into deep thought, and the two were silent for a while.

"Hey, bro!" Parrett saw that Milo suddenly stopped talking, "You remembered something, didn't you?" ”

Milo looked out the window and remembered something: "Before I fought Sevia, he said something very strange......"

"What?"

"'If you're also for the so-called empire, then why should I fight you'......"

"That's what he said?" Parrett didn't quite trust his ears.

"yes, did you say he was on the side of the Empire as well?"

"No, otherwise there would be no rebellion!"

……

The two wanted to talk, but the jailer informed them that it was time to visit them. "Then I'm leaving, brother, take care!" After Parrett finished speaking, he turned and handed the jailer a cloth bag, judging by the sound coming from inside, it was the gold coin, and Melo wanted to say something, but he still didn't speak—most likely Erin ordered it.

That night, the jailer moved Milo into a much better cell, and the food was much more abundant.

——

In the days that followed, Parrett came to visit Melo every three to five days and told him what was going on outside:

Peace talks between the Spreet Empire and the United Kingdom, which had been delayed by the rebellion, have resumed, and it is reported that the joint declaration between the two countries will be released in the near future.

In order to make the agreement to pardon Milo take effect as soon as possible, Erin returned to travel back and forth in Wall City as a member of the Akayi family, nobles, commoners, armies, and Wanyuan Sect...... She searched for all the resources she could muster, and invited them to sign a statement about Milo's contribution to the rebellion, which, after a few days of hard work, was already quite weighty. Busy with her busy activities for the occasion, Erin still hasn't made the time to visit Milo - perhaps for other reasons.

Kolan and the Green Dragon Mercenaries have made some progress in their investigation of Sevia, but they have not disclosed any details and are still investigating in silence. As is customary, Klan turns a certain cabin into a small library, much to Captain Finn's displeasure.

As for that agent, it was as if it had completely disappeared, and there was no trace of it.

"There's no news about you either...... "Parrett said with a slight disappointment, "still not knowing whether they want to punish you for your sins or forgive you." ”

Milo looked at the sky outside the window and said, "Maybe it's a good choice to keep me locked up like this......"

"You know, the little girl Akayi also contacted the families of the soldiers you killed, wrote letters of apology, sent pensions, and some of them lived in the city, and she personally visited them to ask for forgiveness...... You still say it's a good choice here, you ......" Parrett didn't continue, he saw Milo's clenched fists and slightly quivering eyes—he was also suffering from this helplessness, even if he deserved it, but he didn't want to see Erin suffer so much pain and pain for him that didn't belong to hers.

"Oh, you!" Parrett regained her cheerful attitude and patted Milo on the shoulder, "Thank her when you get out of here!" ”

After Parrett left, Melo didn't move, and she didn't eat dinner that day. When it was dawn the next morning, Melo carved another one on the wall, and it was already the twentieth day of being imprisoned in the Sea Lion Castle......

That strange dream appeared several times in succession......

——

On the morning of July 3, the jailer informed Milo that someone had come to visit him, but it was not the "big man" he had before. "Is it Erin?" Milo thought, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, but also a little sorry, just before he had time to adjust his expression, the comer appeared-

"What are you going to do?" Mello asked disappointed and dissatisfied, the person who visited him turned out to be the Imperial agent. But he thought about it, and the appearance of the spy could also indicate a turn for the better in his fate, so he lowered his posture slightly and made a "please" gesture.

The agent didn't care about Milo's attitude, and his expression was so calm that it was impossible to judge his emotions: "Glory belongs to Spreett." Hello, Milo Entekoman, I have come to inform you that the judgment against you will come tomorrow, so you come with me tomorrow, and we will leave early in the morning. ”

"Where to go?"

"In the city, go to trial." The agent repeated, then he sat down on the floor and gestured for the jailer to leave the cell, where only he and Milo were left.

"What? Anything else to say? Milo thought that the agents had just come to inform him about the trial.

The spy propped his chin with his hand, and an imperceptible, sly smile appeared on his face, and looked at Milo quietly, and Milo also stared at him, and the two looked at each other like this for a while, and Milo finally couldn't help but ask:

"Who the hell are you?"

"Ha, you're finally curious about this," the agent smiled faintly, "Have you always thought that I was an Imperial Special Operations agent, ah—is that what you always call 'Special Operations'?" ”

"You have another identity, it shouldn't be easy, right?" Milo sat upright on the floor, face to face with the other person, and began a very formal conversation.

"I'll tell you the truth, my appearance and name are fake, but I can tell you what my job title is." After speaking, he took out his name card and showed it to Milo, who silently read the name and title on it:

"Ulf Tiger, Commander of the Imperial Army and Navy in Splitt", next to the red seal of the Imperial Family. There is no title, no family seal, and it is obvious that the identity must be kept secret.

"The name is nonsense, but you can call me that." Ulf retracted his name.

Sweat was oozing from Milo's forehead, since he infiltrated the city of Wall and met Ulf, gradually learned about this person's skills, courage, wisdom and what he knew about the inside story of the "underground factory", he felt that he was not an ordinary spy, especially his strategy and method of arresting himself, even he was very good at seeing people. Milo had thought that he might be the head of the secret service or the captain, but the posting of this position was really unexpected, even beyond the comprehension of everyone.

It is hard to imagine that as the commander of a powerful army, he personally infiltrated the rebel city, and fought with the most elite rebel soldiers in the monastery surrounded by the rebels with Milo and others until he was wounded in many parts of his body, and he was still able to climb to the top of the monastery and release carrier pigeons, which shows that he is a master of art and has absolute confidence in his own strength.

Mellot's mouth was dry, a little surprised, and even more nervous.

"Don't be surprised, I've done even crazier things. Your Majesty has warned me many times, but I just like to do things myself, and I won't say anything I've done, and you won't believe it anyway. "Actually, I've come to you to talk to you about another thing, something you're interested in, and something I'm interested in—"

Mello guessed what Ulf was trying to say, and the two said in unison:

"Curse of the Stars." ”

"I didn't expect the empire to be interested in this kind of legend." Milo said with her head bowed and in a slightly mocking tone, but also clearly showing her awe of Ulf.

Ulf didn't care about Milo's taunt, and responded very seriously: "It's not as simple as being interested, it can be said that the 'Curse of the Stars' has been the main subject of the empire for hundreds of years. ”

Hearing what the other person said, Milo began to show seriousness.

"This started more than 500 years ago......
