Chapter 19: Another Rescuer
() After following the sergeant codenamed "Beech Tree" and turning left and right, Julian saw a "tree" that had not appeared at the Battle Conference on the Island in the middle of the lake. For the latest free chapters of this book, please visit wรจn. Julian did not know the name of the young man, but he had seen him before: the Blessed Knight Myron, the squire of the so-called "Mulberry Tree", codenamed "Torch Tree". Listening to the beech tree, because Allen's status as a blessed knight is too dazzling, he can only appoint his direct subordinates to help. In the past, Julian would never have believed that the purple cardinal and the blessed knight with such a high status in the central church were not only invisible spies, but also those around them, but after witnessing it with his own eyes, Julian realized that the world was far bigger than he knew.
"Where's the mangrove?" asked the beech tree as soon as she saw the torch tree.
"It's planted in the garden. The firebox tree replied, "Go, water." โ
Ordinary people may be confused, but after spending so much time with the spy, Julian can more or less understand what the code words between them are conveying. Even if there are only people in your own person, you still have to use code language to communicate, which is the special way of communication for spies. It may seem redundant, but it's a long-term habit.
At the meeting on the island in the middle of the lake, Julian knew that the members of the "woods" were divided into three groups: the Birch Yutanko priest and the mulberry Myron knight, who were too conspicuous to directly participate in the rescue, and the apple tree, the paulownia tree, and the pine tree had official duties, so they could only cover on the periphery. There were two groups that directly rescued the people, Julian and Serena the Mangrove in one group to rescue Frey, and the cedar, coconut tree, oak tree, and oak tree in one group to rescue the other person.
At first, Julian was a little confused, why it took four people to save another person, and only he and Serena were the only ones who saved Frey? Isn't Frey as important as the other person? It wasn't until the addition of the Beech Tree and the Torch Tree that Julian realized that he was wrong.
The Torch Tree walked in front, and the Beech Tree and Julian followed behind at a distance. It is not appropriate to say that he is following, for Julian has witnessed the Torch Tree's breathtaking ability to fly up the wall, and the boy is as nimble as a monkey, and in an instant he disappears from the glazed ceiling, and the Beech Tree and Julian only follow the traces left by the Torch Tree. Along the way, they encountered several groups of sparse soldiers, and the two of them swaggered past the soldiers with their uniforms.
As he walked directly in front of an iron gate, the beech tree waved his hand to signal Julian to stop.
"Our destination is behind this iron gate?" asked Julian. He took this idea for granted.
"No, the sign of the torch tree is gone, and he makes us wait here. With that, the beech tree leaned against the wall.
The sergeants in the sanatorium had a 15-minute break in each shift when they were patrolling, so there was nothing suspicious about the two of them standing idly in the aisle to rest. But as the minutes passed, and the beech tree showed no signs of moving, Julian became more and more anxious.
"How long are we going to wait?" Julian couldn't help himself.
The rescue operation was to be covered by an evangelistic convention in the Great Hall. Because of such a large-scale religious event, a large number of people need to be deployed to maintain order and security, so there will be so few sergeants in the sanatorium at this time, but when the evangelistic meeting is over, the others will return to their posts, and the rescue operation may be in vain. Julian knew that the preaching convention had lasted only two hours at most, and that it had been almost an hour now, and that even if the rescue had been successful, they would have to arrive at the evacuation site at least 20 minutes earlier, that is, they had less than 40 minutes.
"Don't worry, you have to be more calm than ordinary people. The beech tree smiled slightly and said.
But ...... cares about chaos, and even if he understands this truth, Julian still can't get out of this strange circle.
"You look like an ant in a hot nest, too easy to get exposed, but luckily no one passes by now. The beech tree sneered.
It took a great deal of effort for Julian to calm himself down, and his hardship was no less than a bloody battle with a strong enemy.
Seeing that Julian was at least as calm as ever, the beech tree revealed the mystery: "I'll sue you." Now we're going to wait for another group of people to hear from them. โ
"Another group?"
"That's right. You should know that in addition to Miss Frey, we have another rescuer. Now they're going to get the other one out first. โ
"Why don't you save Frey first?"
"Because we haven't quite determined where Miss Frey is. But as long as we rescue another person, we can find clues, and in order to save Miss Frey, we must first save that person. โ
The authenticity of the beech tree's explanation, which is still reasonable, is now impossible to investigate, but in this situation of no turning back, Julian can only choose to believe it.
After a while, the beech tree said, "Let's go." โ
"Is there a signal?" said Julian, though he had no notice.
"No, the break is over. โ
Seeing the rather calm attitude of the beech tree, I thought about it in my chest. Julian followed, walking side by side with the beech tree. The iron gate faded away behind them.
The two spoke in gnats-like voices that only they could hear.
"We just stopped to wait for news, but now that we're leaving, how can we get the signal?" Julian couldn't hide his doubts.
"Not receiving a signal is good news. If we had just received a signal, it would not have been a good thing. Beech Tree's words still sound a little mysterious, but in a certain way, his explanation is quite clear.
"You mean to say that the operation is going well?" Julian immediately understood.
"Yes, their time to act is exactly the 15 minutes we just waited. If there is danger or obstruction, the torch tree will signal us to evacuate. And now, I'm sure they've managed to get their target. "Beech Tree Road.
"Hmm. Julian nodded, "But can you tell me one thing: Who is the other person?"
"Didn't the mangrove tell you?" said the beech tree, which Julian didn't even know about.
"Nope. Ms. Serena rarely spoke to me. โ
"No wonder. But since your protector has decided not to sue you, it is not appropriate for me to say it. You may not have met that person, but you should know about him. โ
With that said, Julian didn't ask about the identity of the other rescuer, but he didn't end the topic there: "Should this person be like me, has a lot to do with the Tower of the Seven Sins?"
"It's not a big connection, but it's a person who knows the inside story, and this person's value to us is by no means below you. โ
"Why do you go to all possible lengths to get information about the Tower of the Seven Sins, do you also want to build a new Tower of the Seven Sins?" asked Julian again.
"Your imagination is wonderful, but that's impossible. Because in a sense, we are also victims of the Tower of the Seven Sins. โ
At this moment, two soldiers approached, and Beech and Julian immediately stopped talking. Although his mind was full of question marks, Julian had received enough information. In his mind, a rough outline of the "Woods" organization and their true purpose had been sketched.
