Chapter 324: Cousin, Don't Play with Fire (Leave of Absence for One Shift)
Fani's letter and the "missing person notice" from the Sanctuary of Dawn arrived in Charles' possession at about the same time, and it stands to reason that the latter should have arrived in Nancy City earlier, but Ariana, the paladin in charge of the search, was stranded in Nasser for too long, arriving in Lorraine nearly ten days later than originally planned.
"Lord Marquis, I hope you will help us to find this Grava Chaina as soon as possible, our church is in dire need of the help of this divine servant, but our church is understaffed, and it is difficult to find the whole of Lorraine in a short time. ”
Bishop Honey and Ariana arrived at Sunset Castle at the same time, and Ariana, the messenger of the Dawn Sanctuary, remained silent the whole time, and Bishop Honey kept appealing.
Charles looked at Ariana strangely and asked, "Didn't Your Excellency Grava Chaina appear at the New Year's Sermon in the Chapel of Dawn, and why did Your Excellency come to Lorraine to look for it?"
Ariana lowered her head and didn't raise her eyelids, "Your godbrother Barencher said that Lord Grava has a Lorraine accent, and I'm here because you reported to the Dawn Sanctuary that the Night Cultists have appeared, and I'm here to purge the Night Cultists. ”
"Oh...... We do have a dark infestation here, hundreds of our lords have been killed, and we really need the help of a powerful light warrior like you, Lord Ariana. Of course, I will also send the church's missing person notice to every village as soon as possible, which is the due duty of a Twilight believer. ”
Charles smiled and said beautiful things, and in his heart he had already greeted his godbrother's eighteenth generation female relative.
"You hillbilly with a North Sea accent, where does Lao Tzu have a Lorraine accent?
In the aristocratic circles of the mainland, the Nasser accent of Florence is used as the standard pronunciation, and whoever does not have a standard Nasser accent will definitely be despised as a rural nobleman.
After sending Honey and Ariana away, Charles opened the letter that Fani had just delivered, first read a love poem with a slightly hot face, and enjoyed the wonderful taste of the goddess chasing after her, and then saw the inquiry about the "holy object" in Bayona's Dawn Church.
"Why did you suddenly inquire about the holy relics of the goddess? It can't be that it was discovered, right?
The Church of Twilight first sent a notice all over the world to find Glava Chaina, and then counted and verified the holy relics that had flowed out of the Church of Twilight in the past year, and Charles quickly connected the two events and smelled the unusual smell in them.
Charles has a ghost in his heart, and any disturbance in the Dawning Church will cause him to be sensitive and vigilant, but he has obtained two "holy relics" from the Dawning Church.
The replica of the crown of knowledge in the chapel of Bajona Centre Street may not be a copy, but the staff of the Chapel of the Dawn is a real relic, and he Grava Chana has played a game of stealing the day with his own hands, and it would be nonsense to say that he is not at all guilty.
Thinking of this, Charles immediately called the housekeeper Roy, the Chevalier family did not have a complete intelligence system, only the housekeeper Roy had a little bit of intelligence channels.
"Roy, did you get any special news about Nasser?"
Roy, the butler, said a few latest news, including the new decree issued by King Rousseff, the fact that Duchess so-and-so was caught cheating on her husband, and finally the news that Charles was looking forward to, but it was too brief.
"Ten days ago, two emissaries from the Norman Church arrived at the Chapel of Dawn, and the next day the whole city began to search for Grava Chaina........ the Divine Servant."
Charles's heart slowly sank, although he used the dark night trick to fake the appearance of a middle-aged man to Grava, but who knows if the church has any special means to find his own clues.
"Grava Chaina, we have just received a request from the Church to find this divine favor in Lorraine, do you have any more details?"
"I'm sorry sir, our information channels are limited, and there will only be news once every seven days, and there is no more detailed information, but Duke Clayton and His Royal Highness Boyle are almost here, and they may have more detailed information. ”
"Get news once in seven days? Roy, how can this work? You immediately send more people, you must get the latest news from Nasser, especially the news of the church and the royal family, and even find out some necessary secret information, how much will it cost you to go to Olive to withdraw it. ”
Butler Roy showed a look of embarrassment for the first time, "Master, this will take a long time, when the old marquis was alive, in order to avoid being suspicious, we did not expand too many intelligence channels, we do not have existing experience and manpower, in the past few months, I have followed your orders to select and train reliable intelligence personnel, but I have not been able to meet your requirements in a short period of time." ”
"Whew!"
Charles sighed, and knew that he was too anxious, forming an intelligence system is not an infantry battalion, and it can be pulled out for three months of intensive training, talent and loyalty alone can screen out I don't know how many people, and I don't know how many resources and money it will cost to train an excellent spy.
Seeing that Charles was in distress, Roy carefully retreated and closed the door for his master.
But within a few minutes, the door was kicked open with a "bang".
"Cousin Linaer, how many times have I said that you need to knock on the door first, this is the basic respect for me!"
Linar glared at Charles coldly and said, "Don't think I don't know how strong your perception is, you know I'm coming over from a distance of hundreds of meters, since you didn't stop me from coming in advance, that is, you don't mind me coming in." ”
Charles: ".........."
Sounds so reasonable.
Charles crossed Erlang's legs and said in a shaky voice, "Then my cousin, what is your very important matter to come to me?"
Linar suddenly propped her hands on the edge of the desk, leaned forward and pressed her face to face with Charles, leaning over at a large angle caused her chest to sag, and a line of snow white shook so white that Charles didn't dare to blink.
"I need all the knowledge of the steam engine, not the drawings, but the knowledge, will you say yes?
A peculiar mental fluctuation hit Charles' brain, prompting him to nod his head in agreement.
"Good...... What a!
Charles shook his head vigorously, expelled the special magic from his mind, and stood up angrily, "Cousin, why do you always use the spell of charm on me?"
Linar was stunned, she didn't understand how Charles could get out of her control so quickly, she would not use her special talent easily, but as long as she used it, there was absolutely no possibility of missing.
But she would never have thought that Charles had the world's best strength in spiritual resistance, and a god-level person like Her Majesty couldn't help him, let alone a transcendent talent?
But Linar is worthy of being a leader who is used to being a leader, and the leader will never be wrong, only his subordinates and others will be wrong.
"My cousin, I've never used any tricks of confusion on you, why do you say 'again'?
"Humph!"
Charles snorted twice and didn't argue with her, the first time the two met, she was severely injured by the Engru and used a similar Ecstasy, and then Charles returned to save her, which Charles didn't intend to say.
"The steam engine was successfully built, but the technology in it was not within the scope of our cooperation, and even Aunt Adele couldn't force me to do this. ”
Linal's face changed several times, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I can pay enough!"
Charles looked at the slim cousin Linar, and a bad idea in his heart was about to move, but he was quickly strangled to death by reason.
"I'm sorry, I don't need to ......"
"Huh, I urgently need the support of the intelligence system, but I don't have a ready-made intelligence system, but someone else does?"
Charles suddenly remembered something, and his eyes became fiery when he looked at Linar.
Linal's cheeks suddenly turned red, embarrassed and annoyed, and there was a special flow of color in her pink pupils.
"Don't don't don't cousin, don't be angry with me, even if I'm a decent gentleman, it's very dangerous. ”
