The middle-aged man gave no other evidence, but Austin felt trusting for no apparent reason. Not because of anything else, it's just that this middle-aged man is too ordinary.

Ordinary armor, ordinary appearance, even the rank is about the ordinary first order, and in this military city, it is a character that no one will recognize if thrown into the pile.

However, he is the most special, whenever the war comes, the busiest are two kinds of people, the highest characters and the lowest cannon fodder. As the backbone of cannon fodder, the second-order ability is either hurrying to prepare at this time, or being dispatched to patrol everywhere, where can there be such a leisurely walk on the street?

There is something special in the ordinary, and it is indeed the characteristic of the nameless intelligence officers under the Inquisition, who can be integrated into normal people at any time, and can be identified by those who need them at any time.

"This is—" Hulin asked suspiciously, as he watched everyone say goodbye one by one, noticing the strangeness of Austin's place.

Austin smiled, but it looked so fake: "An old friend." ”

Listening to Austin's serious nonsense, Hu Lin pursed his lips, still with a polite and subtle smile on his face, and said: "Please go to the logistics department to take a look after you are done, the Red Tide Legion will arrange accommodation for you and your soldiers, if you have any equipment needs in the future, please also take your identification to get it, within the scope of your authority, all your requirements will be met to the greatest extent." ”

"Thank you very much. Austin bowed slightly.

Then, Austin arranged for the Yin Panther to take the Burning Bear and the remaining dozens of soldiers to the logistics department, and first find the arranged place to rest. Johnny stayed behind in the rear of Cold River City, and after being attacked by a sneak attack, his life and death were uncertain, and now these things had to be left to the Yin Leopard.

With the temper of the fierce bear, it is obviously not suitable to communicate directly with other departments.

Thinking of Johnny, Austin's heart was very heavy, and the Yin Panther and the Fierce Bear also remembered something, and they all seemed a little depressed, but they still tried to show a more relaxed attitude, since they had not seen the corpse, they were more convinced that their former companion was still alive.

Thankfully, they were all alive themselves, and they stood out from the encirclement after that scuffle with their strong individual strength and small group combat ability.

After arranging this, Austin took Quiraf and the three Blackwings and the middle-aged man into the corner of the long street.

The middle-aged man didn't have the idea of hiding from the patrol force, and it didn't even look like a spy planted in the north by the Inquisition, most of them automatically ignored him and Austin, and occasionally acquaintances came over to say hello to the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man responded one by one.

"You don't look like you're a spy. Austin followed for a while, then suddenly spoke seemingly casually.

The middle-aged man turned his head and seemed to think for a moment before realizing that Austin was asking him a question.

"Officially," the middle-aged man said with a smile, "I'm a liaison officer sent by von Lantrin, and of course you can also think of me as a spy sent to the north by the Inquisition fifteen years ago. My name is Joseph, also known as the Bone Eater. ”

After listening to the first half of the sentence, Austin snorted coldly with some disdain, the official institutions of the court and the personal power of those high-level people are always unclear, and their own people, private and official will penetrate each other, hearing the second half of the sentence, Austin was shocked.

Bone Eater, when Von Lantrin came to the Judgment Center, the Operations Department had not yet identified a place or two, and at that time he and Bone Eater were both members of the "Worm Group" and undertook most of the assassination tasks. With the rapid rise of von Lantlin's status, most of his comrades-in-arms died back then, but the bone eaters have been following von Lantrin.

After von Lantrin became the elector, he became the executioner of the Operations Department, but Joseph stopped at the fifth order, and the armed forces that von Lantrin could control became stronger and stronger, Joseph had no choice but to turn to intelligence work, but his ability over the years was obvious to all, known as "Ghost in the Sun", only the reputation of the new star "Wild Wolf" Austin was on a par with him, although he was deliberately ignored most of the time.

"What a faux pas, I didn't recognize you. ”

"If you could recognize me, wouldn't I be a waster?" said Joseph, somewhat unkindly, but Austin was not in the slightest. When the man straightened his slightly bowed back, Austin felt a sense of oppression on his body, which was not as tall as himself, as if a sleeping tiger raised his head and looked, even if his eyes revealed laziness, people could feel the sharp cold.

After a few more steps, they came to a small bungalow, flanked by dirty streets, where the snow mixed with the mud in the crevices of the stone pavement did not look so pleasant after all.

In order to make the most of the area, the neighbor piled up the miscellaneous items at the door of the small bungalow, and Joseph was not annoyed, patiently cleaned up, opened the door and walked in.

Inside, it was clearly the dwelling of a single man, with a simple bed and a small table, on which there was still half a bowl of uneaten rice and an empty aluminum can of ale, with only a stool next to it, and two brick walls that were built to separate the kitchen from the bathroom.

Austin motioned for Quirav and the others to stay outside, but Joseph said: "Come in, the civilians next to me are all working outside now, and when I come back later, I will see a soldier of this level standing at my door, I am afraid that I will have to change my identity again." ”

He must have recognized Quiraf and Blackwing's slave status, but still called him a "soldier".

The room suddenly became a little crowded, Joseph lay relaxed on the bed, the posture made Austin almost begin to wonder if he had lost the most basic alertness of the supernatural, Austin sat on the bench, somewhat unaccustomed to obedient listening, the rest of the people only stood against the wall, Davix was a little uncomfortable, and sat casually on the floor.

Joseph didn't know where to find a jar of ale, and said while drinking: "The order given to you by the bloodthirsty worm is very simple, don't participate in any action, you have completed the task of Hanjiang City very well, and now the situation in Beiwang City is still unclear, if the war officially starts, he may even come to the north to sit in the operation department in person." ”
