Chapter 49: The Gathering of Intelligence at Wyndam

Beyond the obstruction of the houses, the towering iconic castle in the distance drew closer, and the caravan followed the guards of the city gate to a busy street, and drove into a high, walled area under the avoidance of many merchants who came to buy.

It was the new merchant guild of the territory, about the size of a football field, with a wide river on the other side of the gate for caravans, and a small dock for workers busy carrying goods onto ships, and several large brick and stone buildings next to the dock.

The main entrance of the tallest building in the middle is carved with a griffin pattern symbolizing the territory, and the masonry and carvings are covered with mottled and worn marks, in fact, this was originally a place for knights to train, but with the expansion of the army, the area here is dwarfed, so it was abandoned by Song Jing and them, and it happened to be transformed into the residence of the merchant guild.

This kind of caravan led by the territory Risto is nominally formed and operated by the Chamber of Commerce, of course, they are openly responsible for the foreign trade of the territory, and secretly they are also responsible for the acquisition of foreign information.

When the caravan was parked, Stowe got out of the car first, and stood in the open field of bare dirt, and found that many horse-drawn carts full of goods had already been parked in the surrounding area, and workers were constantly using carts to unload and carry goods to the docks.

The guards on the car also got out of the car one after another, and Barry, who was standing behind Stowe, looked at the tightly covered goods, thought about it and said softly, "The car is very deep, the goods are heavy, it should be iron, it seems that the people who went to the Yoda Empire came back." ”

"Yes, the place where there is any movement during this time that needs to be reported is these two bad neighbors"

Stowe felt a headache at the thought of the information he had gathered, the hundred-year-old feud between the Midland Kingdom and the Yoda Empire had not been resolved until now, and now there was another dispute.

At this time, Walker, the guard of the city gate, turned around on horseback, and led a team with spears behind him, and said in front of Stowe.

"Stowe-sama, we'll be here."

"It's hard work, when you rest tonight, I will definitely invite you to drink!"

Stowe waved Walker away after a few polite words, and then he instructed the caravan behind him to guard the goods, and the last of the guards carried a square box from the carriage, and the group walked to the prominent guild building.

A few minutes later, Stowe and Barry, the guard who had taken off his hat, sat upright on a bench in a masonry hallway, a thick stack of information lying beside him, and his disciplined temperament exuded, completely devoid of the atmosphere of the city that he had just dealt with the guards.

Babble –

The door next to the bench opened, and a loud noise came out, one of which was a calm voice that came out of my ears clearly.

"Second Lieutenant Stowe, I've been waiting for a long time, come in"

"Yes."

Stowe quickly stood up, asked Barry to take the papers, and walked inside together.

Walking into the door, there was a hall full of tables and chairs, many people were working, and the middle-aged lady wearing a lady's suit was waiting for Stowe at the door, and she skillfully reached out and led Stowe to a private room inside.

The staff in the hall were all dressed in black suits, the scene was solemn, and they didn't care about the two of them coming in, they all had a similar and indescribable temperament to Stowe, walking in the aisle next to the desk, Stowe did not squint, as if he had expected the scene next to him.

And Barry, who was born in the Knights, peeked out of the corner of his eyes a little concernedly, but he still remembered Sto's instructions before, and did not peek into the scene here too obviously, after all, this is a secret service hidden in the darkness of the territory, and everything is a secret hidden in the dark.

Coming to the innermost room, the middle-aged lady knocked on the door, and a cold voice came out.

"Please come in!"

The middle-aged lady pushed open the door, walked in with the two of them, and then closed the door and stood aside.

A young lady with a beautiful face and an elegant temperament, sitting behind a large mahogany table directly opposite the door to write documents, noticed the two people who came in, put down the pen in her hand, and nodded to a few people.

Stowe stepped forward, stood in front of the table, stepped on his right foot, raised his palm and saluted, and said in a deep voice to the lady, "Secret Service, Field Service Section, Stowe, the head of the affairs of the Midland Kingdom, greetings to you, Lady Wendy!" ”

Wendy, the woman who assisted Song Jing in her daily affairs in the old camp of the reincarnators, followed everyone to the territory as a matter of course with the relocation of the old camp. The fact that she had managed the patchwork old camp was a testament to her abilities, and because of her trust, the Reincarnation transferred her to the secret service that was temporarily responsible for intelligence gathering.

Wendy raised her hand to stop Barry's salute behind her and smiled at Stowe.

"Okay, our territory is not like other places, let's talk about this information first"

Stowe complied with the instructions and began to state the information gathered without changing his bearings:

"The Midland Kingdom has heard the news that King Yoda is seriously ill, and has the intention of sending troops, and the forces of all sides of the kingdom have moved, gathering towards the south, as if preparing to recapture the homeland occupied by the Yoda Empire, among which the elite White Dragon Knights who have been stationed in Windham are also frequently conducting field training.."

"And the famous mercenary group that has been circulating in the countries of the continent in the past few years, the Eagle Regiment, I heard that it has accepted the employment of the Midland Kingdom, and their leader, Griffith, is known as a once-in-a-century general, and recently Gus in the stormtroopers in the Eagle Regiment has also become famous for his fighting style that is not afraid of death, and I heard that it is a warrior with one enemy and ten warriors..."

"We have made initial contact with the famous assassination race, the Bakilaka, but they don't seem to trust us, and decisively refuse our solicitation, and only accept our assassination mission on the border of Midland"

"However, the information of the Demon Dog Knights has gained very little, and their news seems to have been deliberately cleared and covered up by Mittland, which is very difficult to collect, and the specific information needs to be carefully explored..."

“....”

After a brief statement, Stowe asked Barry to put the documents he was holding on the table and said solemnly.

"Concrete information is here"

"Knights of the Demon Dogs? Is that so? ”

Wendy furrowed her white eyebrows, her slender fingers tapped on the table, and she thought of a few key words that Song Jing had emphasized before, and the Demon Dog Knights were the first.

"Very good, such a result is already a good result"

The intelligence gathering operation carried out in Wyndam had only been carried out for a few weeks, and it was far away in the capital of the Midland Kingdom, so it was good to have such results, so Wendy didn't criticize anything, nodded and affirmed Stowe's work, and then talked a few more words, and then asked the middle-aged lady to take them away.

The dazzling light shot into her eyes, Luo Silian turned her head to avoid the light, opened her eyes in a daze, and found herself wearing a loose white plain suit, tied to the bed by a white restraint belt, a huge transparent cylindrical glass cover outside, and a miscellaneous steel table, chair and measuring utensils outside, which was more like a research room than a place of cultivation.

Suddenly, her pupils constricted, and a figure crossed her hands over her chest, and the big sword golden horse sat on the outermost couch near the doorway, her eyes closed, and she breathed calmly, a sharp sword with its scabbard closed across the low table in front of him.

Huang Shurong's eyelids twitched, and he opened his eyes leisurely, and saw Luo Silian on the hospital bed, raising her head in human form to look around, her hair had become the wings of a moth, but it hung down as softly as ordinary hair.

"Are you awake?!"

Luo Silian looked around the laboratory speechlessly, looked down at her chest, and through the gap in her loose shirt, she found that the fatal wound before she fell unconscious had healed, and her skin was white and red, no different from the one next to her.

She propped up the hospital bed with both hands, and her upper body slammed upward, easily breaking the restraint belt on the bed, sitting on the bed, her free hands grabbed the remaining restraint belt on her lower body and pulled it, and immediately tore it, untied the restraints, flapped the wings behind her back, her clothes fluttered, and slowly flew into the air.

Huang Shurong looked at Luo Silian, who was gradually adapting to her body, looked around, as if looking for an exit, and said calmly, "I don't think you should think about running away, otherwise I won't be merciful this time!" ”

His posture remained unchanged, and he didn't even let go of his hands crossed on his chest, but the Han sword that was lying horizontally on the low table turned violently, aiming the hilt firmly at him, and a sharp temperament was gradually revealed.

Luo Silian flapped her wings, flew to the side of the glass wall and fell, her white feet stepped on the cold tiles, and said to Huang Shurong outside seriously, "I just want to know Xilu now, how is she?" ”

Huang Shurong saw that Luo Silian had no idea of breaking free with further recklessness, nodded and said as plainly as always, "You will know soon!" ”

After speaking, he stood up and walked towards the wooden door where a person entered and exited not far away, half-opened it and beckoned the guards outside to notify Song Jing to come over, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, several people have taken turns guarding here this week to prevent Luo Silian from waking up and escaping, and it feels like a lot of time has been delayed.

The guards stationed outside the gate immediately sent a soldier to mount his horse, and out of the already empty barracks, he hurried in the direction of the castle.

Ten minutes later, in a room full of bright sunlight in the castle, four long tables were arranged vertically, and they were covered with chemical experiment equipment.

"Really?!"

A maid dressed in a maid's costume stood in the doorway, bowing her head respectfully in reply.

"Yes, Lord Huang Shurong sent someone over to inform you, and the castle guards who came up are at the door!"

Song Jing was wearing a pure white tunic lined with a gold-trimmed slender coat on the outside, and a teacher's temperament arose, he closed the book in his hand, smiled and said gently to the four students sitting in their respective seats on both sides, "Then, today's teaching is here."

"Yay!"

Alice, the youngest and with a rather out-of-the-box personality, immediately left the round star-shaped formation on the long table with her hands and cheered.

Song Jing smiled and shook his head, not caring about this, and turned his head sideways to the students at the long table next to Alice and shouted, "Xilu..."

Different from the clothes that helped her mother in the countryside before, Xilu was wearing a soft satin dress at this time, with a shawl for her hair, and a lively and youthful atmosphere emanated, she heard Song Jing's call, quickly stood up from her seat, and said a little panicked.

"What's the matter? Teacher? ”

"There's a gift for you, come with me later!"

Song Jing nodded, appeasing Xilu's rather apprehensive mood, because he worked for his family early, Xilu is the most sensible among these children, and he is also the best at observing words and feelings, so it is easier to detect the malice of others in the original book, escape from the house to avoid being violated by his father's drinking friends, and meet the protagonist Gus by chance.

"I want it too, teacher, I want a gift too!"

When Alice heard this, she puffed out her mouth and said, relying on her youngest age to be coquettish, although she had experienced the wanderings caused by the war like Bach, but after all, she had been guarded by her aunt and did not leave too uncomfortable memories, so she had always retained her innocence.

Song Jing was indifferent to Alice's coquettishness, and joked with a sinking face, "Ahem, there is no gift for a child who is not well-behaved!" I've heard you've been causing trouble in the castle lately, causing a lot of trouble for your subordinates! ”

Alice rolled her big eyes and quibbled, as if she was not afraid of Song Jing's punishment at all.

"It's not me, it's them who are making a fuss, it's obviously an exercise made of flames, so they think it's haunted"

"You! Anyone is practicing in the corridor, or in the middle of the night, obviously trying to scare others"

Song Jing said angrily, "If this happens again, I will hang you up and spank."

"Hahaha..."

Except for Alice, whose face was flushed, everyone in the room laughed, and even the maid standing at the door covered her mouth with her right hand to cover the corners of her mouth.

"Okay"

Song Jing shook his head with a smile, motioned for a few children to stop, and then said to the four students, "Then, as a fair, let's have a holiday today, Bach doesn't have to go to the barracks outside the city, all the classes will be held tomorrow!" ”

The eldest Bach heard Song Jing's command and nodded, although he was only a teenager, he already had the integrity of a knight.

"Yay, that's great"

Alice immediately jumped up, stepped out of her seat, and happily ran to Delicia on the opposite side, and said, "Sister, let's go to the big lawn by the river, and we can also take a boat to see Sister Wendy!" ”

“... Okay"

Licia noticed the eyes of everyone, nodded hesitantly and slowly, and agreed, but thinking of Alice's lively personality, she said in advance, "However, you can't disturb Sister Wendy's work, you know?" ”

Then Song Jing gave a few instructions to the maid, cleaned the classroom, and informed the teachers of other courses that they did not need to come today, so they left with Xilu under the salute of several students, walked to the gate under the castle, and rushed to the barracks next to the square in a gorgeous carriage.

It's been almost a week since Xilu came to the territory, and it was supposed to be a personal maid and playmate for Miss Delicia, but when she arrived at the territory, it was completely different from what she said before, just because of the so-called talent, like Miss Dilicia, who was a nobleman, she became a student of the rumored five sages in the city, and began to live a life of fine clothes and food, and even her parents were taken over and arranged easy work in the castle, which made her feel dreamy.

She knew that her fate had changed forever, and though she didn't know why, she could only follow the will of the five sages who had essentially manipulated the territory as much as possible.

Outside the laboratory where the guards were closely guarded, Xilu followed behind Song Jing with a worried face, her little hands tightly grasping the corner of her skirt, watching the tall Song Jing open the wooden door, and the bright and dazzling sunlight followed the two of them.

Babble –
