Chapter 944: Intelligence
Abel's past few days have been very peaceful, although from time to time some wizarding organizations will come to ask for refining potions, but they all directly send five materials to the Apothecary Guild, and pay some price according to the normal process to ask him to help.
And while he was living peacefully, there were elves who were not at peace.
In a huge office in the Imperial City, a group of red-robed enforcers gathered around a long wooden table, rummaging through intelligence records made of parchment.
Behind the long wooden table where these red-robed enforcers were, rows of wooden cabinets with almost no end in sight were arranged, and these were all the information of the New Asia Empire over the years.
Originally, with the City Spirit, most of the affairs could be handled by the City Spirit, but experienced intelligence officers were more confident in the data they saw with their eyes.
Because they are afraid that there will be problems with the city spirit, which will lead to the loss of data, so the intelligence organization will make a backup of all the information on parchment.
Now these red-robed enforcers are checking the information of all the elves living in the Imperial City of Wanfa, and they want to find a trace of problems through the information on these parchments.
The Tree of Life said something unknown and dangerous through the mouth of Abel, although on the surface the actions of the Wanfa Imperial City were not large, but in fact, the intelligence department of the entire Imperial City had already taken action.
By checking with the city spirits, they did not find any suspicious objects, which made them suspicious of the analysis of the city spirits.
Because they believe in the Tree of Life, which has the same importance to the elves as the Moon Goddess.
Therefore, the most experienced intelligence officers of the intelligence department came to this room where intelligence information was stored to conduct a detailed analysis of the information over the years.
"Monty, when is this going to be found?" a female intelligence agent named Cassie complained softly to her companion.
"Cassie, didn't you see that the captain is also here to check?" said Agent Monty with a careful glance at the captain who was looking intently at the end of the long wooden table, and replied softly.
They've been here for days, and they haven't gotten any useful information, and they don't even have a target, so they can only rely on their senses, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Huh!" At that moment, the captain who was looking at the parchment suddenly spoke up, startling the two distracted informants.
"Everyone, come and see this information!" a light flashed in the captain's eyes, and he didn't seem to be too sure, and looked up to the informants.
This information was passed in the hands of the various agents, and most of the agents were at a loss, they did not see anything wrong with this information.
It is clear from the information that this is information about Lord Barry, which contains the birth and upbringing of this Lord Barry, as well as the education he received, and every process is recorded in great detail.
Even the grades obtained during education are listed, and every bit of the process of growing up is recorded in detail.
Lord Barry has grown from an ordinary elf to a noble lord step by step, and has a castle outside the imperial city.
"Captain, there's nothing wrong with this information?" said Casey Intelligence, shaking his head.
"No, Cassie, I find this information a little weird!" said Monty, who was on the side, disagreeing with her.
"Monty, what's weird?" Agent Cassie asked.
But after reading this information, she could clearly see that the growth process of this Lord Barry was too detailed to have any problems.
"I don't know what the problem is, but this information is too detailed!" replied Agent Monty.
"You're all experts in analyzing intelligence, I'd like to hear your opinions, I'll talk about my thoughts first!" the captain said in a deep voice as he glanced at the intelligence officers present.
He did analyze that there might be something wrong with this information, but this is a lord, and if a lord is to be reviewed, then at least three intelligence officers must apply together, which is a kind of protection for the nobles.
"First of all, this Lord Barry's title was privately awarded by the former consul Angelo, and it was not officially conferred, and this Lord Barry has only heard of his name, and very few people have actually seen his true face!" the captain then said in a deep voice.
The intelligence agents naturally knew that the former consul Angelo, the former high-ranking official of the Imperial City of the Bay Law who was on the run, was knighted by him, and Lord Barry was so mysterious, so naturally there might be a problem.
But there are many aristocrats who don't want to socialize, especially those who tend to art, who have been studying art for many years, and it is normal for them to rarely appear.
"Also, this information is just like Monty's intelligence agent said, it's too detailed, and it's as detailed as if we professional intelligence officers made it!" The captain was already sneering at this time, if it was really a forged identity, then the several former intelligence agents who were implicated in the resignation of the former consul and forced to leave the intelligence department were not just as simple as leaving.
The reason why he was suspicious of this information about Lord Barry was because it was so detailed that it made him feel impeccable, but it was precisely because of this that he became even more suspicious.
This is a piece of intel made specifically for City Spirits, so that City Spirits will not have any doubts about this information when examining suspects, because it is so perfect.
In fact, how can the intelligence be perfect, and the intelligence machine of the elven clan is not specially operated for Lord Barry, an elf, and not a single piece of data has been lost, which is a bit excessive.
All of them here are intelligence officers, and the captain's words reminded them of the contents of the intelligence, if you look at it from a part, there is really no problem, but if you look at it as a whole, it is indeed too perfect.
"In the end, Lord Barry actually owns a castle, and that's the biggest problem!" the captain slapped the table heavily, he said loudly, and then he analyzed: "A non-inheritance nobleman, according to the information, said to be a castle rewarded by the former consul, when did our former consul Lord Angelo be so generous?"
"Captain, let's review Lord Barry, I'm willing to be an applicant!" said Agent Monty as he stood up.
"Captain, and me!" several of the agents stood up, and after so many days of inquiry, there was finally a hint of progress, and they were desperate to end the investigation sooner.
..............................
Outside the Imperial City, in an old castle, the former consul Angelo Harman was sitting in the drawing room, his face embellished so that the elves who didn't know much about him would not recognize him at once.
He was sitting alone with a cup of coffee beside him, and no one would have thought that he, who should have fled far away, would be in a castle next to the imperial city, and have an officially recognized aristocratic status.
This is a back road left by him, and on the day he was hunted, he was rescued, and then he changed his identity and returned here.
When he returned, he knew that the family was finished, and that the family's efforts for many generations had all come to naught.
He didn't blame his actions for causing the destruction of the family, but he had a strong hatred for the Langley family, Master Bennett, even Queen Louisa, the New Asia Empire, and the entire elven race.
The man who saved him gave him a chance for revenge, and promised that when it was done, he would become the leader of all the elves, not in the New Asian Empire, of course, but in the Evil Country.
Yes, the person who saved Angelo Haman was the agent of the Evil Country, and in order to make Angelo Haman relent, the agent agreed to many of his conditions, including power, wealth, and so on.
Ousted from the position of consul, Angelo Harman experienced the temptation of power, and once he lost power, he was looked down upon by all the elves, even the elves of his family, which made him have a pathological paranoia about gaining power again.
Or that Angelo Harman has gone crazy for power, and the back road he left behind could allow him to do nothing and stay worry-free until he dies of old age.
But he doesn't want to do it, he needs power, even if that power is given by the nation of evil.
As long as he completes the quest of the Evil Nation, he can reach the Evil Nation and manage all the elves of the Evil Nation there.
And if this mission is really completed, the Bay Law Imperial City and the nearby elves will probably be captured, and his enemies will become his subordinates.
He already thought that one day, he would step on Duke Buddy and ask Empress Louisa to bring him tea and water.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, but the crazy color in his eyes didn't match his happy mood at all.
"Should we see how it's going?" Angelo Harman stood up and walked through the bookcase mechanism in the study into a basement.
This basement is very large, and at this time, there are ten dead soldiers of the family holding long swords guarding the side, and the two mages in the middle are busy arranging something, one of them is an elven mage and one is a human mage master.
In this small basement, just by what you see now, you can tell that something is going on that is violating the laws of the New Asia Empire.
If a human appears near the Imperial City of the Bay Law, this is a violation of the law, and you must know that every human entering the Imperial City of the Bay Law must be reported.
The human mage was sent by the Evil Nation to enter the castle through the Ervo Forest, and the elven mage was one of the dead in the family.
These dead men were privately cultivated by Angelo Harman when he was in power, just for his back road, and now these elven dead men are completing the tasks given to him by the Evil Nation for him.
"How many more days will it take?" asked Angelo Harman as soon as he entered the basement to the Elven Circle Master.
"Master, it only takes half a day, and it's done!" replied by the Elven Circle Master, bowing down.
"Good!" Angelo Harman said with a satisfied nod.
At this time, in the basement, there was already an incomparably complex magic circle on the ground, which was a teleportation circle, and it was also a large teleportation circle.
In the vicinity of the Bay Law Imperial City, every teleportation circle must be reported before it can be built, let alone such a large teleportation circle.
As soon as this large teleportation circle is opened, given the distance between the castle and the Bay Law Imperial City, its spatial energy will be captured by the city spirit of the Bay Law Imperial City, and this place will be exposed.
But all Angelo Harman wanted was to open the large teleportation circle and complete his mission.
"Soon, you'll know what happens to you who offends me, whoever it is!" he muttered as hatred flashed in his eyes.
........................
Abel was in the Apothecary Guild, and had just finished refining a master-level potion, and after walking out of the alchemy room, he saw the Landau Grand Druid.
"Master Bennett, I'm going to trouble you again!" said the Grand Druid Landau, bowing as he stepped forward.
Abel was stunned for a moment, and he immediately thought that something might have happened to the Tree of Life again.
"Landau, what's wrong?" he asked quickly.
"The situation of the Tree of Life has improved since the last time I communicated with the Tree of Life, but this morning, a large number of dead leaves have appeared in the Tree of Life, I ask you to come with me to see the Tree of Life!" said Randolph Grand Druid's voice with some pleading.
Since the last time we met, Master Bennett's identity has been a little different, and with the current fame and prestige of Master Bennett in the Central Continent, it can be equal to or even surpassed by him.
At the same time, because Master Bennett is the only elf who can communicate with the Tree of Life, and he was the one who helped the Tree of Life last time, the attitude of the Grand Druid of Landau is very low.
When Abel heard the news, he also felt a sense of danger, and he didn't know if it was because of the feeling he had with the Tree of Life after communicating with the Tree of Life last time, or if it was his spiritual sense.
But he knew that once there was a sense of danger in his strength now, he had to pay special attention to it, and now this sense of danger made him feel that danger should be coming soon.
He wasn't the Tree of Life, he didn't have the ability to sense danger that long ago.
You must know that he was in the Apothecary Guild at this time, and he was close to the Bay Law Imperial City, and he had a sense of danger, coupled with the current performance of the Tree of Life, as well as the previous warning, this sense of danger made him think about it carefully.
"Grand Druid Landau, let me arrange for you to go with you at once!" Abel said in a deep voice.
"Master Bennett, please hurry!" the Landau Grand Druid replied with a nod.
Able walked into the alchemy room, used the Apothecary Master badge, and connected the apothecary spirit of the residence through the teleportation circle.
"Apothecary, prepare to transfer yourself to the War Fortress, control all the puppets and move all the valuable items in the basement to the War Fortress!" Abel first contacted the Potion Spirit and commanded.
"Joan, transform the war fortress, simulate other buildings, and turn it into a small castle, once it encounters a defensive circle and is attacked, it will immediately enter a stealth state and take it into the air!" he contacted the war fortress Ling Qiong again.
He had a feeling that the danger this time was not so simple, and he needed to make some preparations.
At Abel's command, in the backyard of his residence in the northern part of the apothecary's camp, the previously invisible war fortress suddenly appeared, and then its disc began to bulge.
