Princess Sophia closed her eyes and thought for a long time, then she asked, "Remember, I also asked you to investigate another matter, and there should be results." ”

The mysterious man nodded and said, "Martial law has begun in the entire North, and it seems that Mr. Walkerworth's plan is going well." ”

"As for the Holy Radiance City, the strange thing is that there is no news circulating in the north at all, and there is not even a rumor at all, which is very contrary to common sense. ”

"According to our investigation, it has been nearly half a month, and there has not been a single caravan from the northern realm in the entire Shenghui City, and naturally there will be no news related to the northern realm. ”

"Sure enough, it's my dear father who has completely blocked the passage between Shenghui City and the northern border. Not only the caravan, but even the herald sent by the Falcon family to inform him was probably assassinated. Princess Sophia snorted softly.

She glanced at the door and said in a tone of pity, "Poor my husband, who thinks he is favored by the old man, but he does not know that the old man treats him as a hostage. ”

"Hmph, half-son? It's ridiculous, he doesn't even care about his own son, and he cares about one-half-son?"

"If you wish, we can disclose this information to His Excellency the Earl in a manner that will never arouse suspicion. ", the mysterious man said respectfully.

"Reveal it to him?" Princess Sophia shook her head, "Of course you don't have to reveal it to him, just let him perform this stage according to his father's script." ”

"All the actors have arrived, and it depends on our respective abilities what kind of plot the final story will play out. ”

Saying that, she ordered: "You go down, the surveillance of Shenghui City cannot be relaxed yet, especially the movements of the Great Emperor." ", she admonished.

"Rest assured, your orders are those of Mr. Walkerworth, and our loyalty to Mr. Walkers is unwavering. After saying that, the mysterious man chuckled twice, and slowly returned to the tunnel, blending into the darkness.

Princess Sophia watched his figure disappear and closed the tunnel again, "Walkerworth, Walkerworth, who are they, and why are they loyal to you?"

"And you, why can't I see through you?", she murmured, leaning slowly back into the chaise longe.

It's like a flower that has exhausted all life and blooms, finally tired, slowly putting away its face, longing for a long sleep.

The room was silent, except for her faint gasps.

At this time, she was alone, revealing a kind of weakness and loneliness that would never be seen by outsiders.

and vulnerability and grief.

......

With a snap, the oil lamp was lit by flint and steel, emitting a bright light that illuminated the otherwise dark room.

"This is our headquarters. An ordinary fat man with ordinary eyebrows, ordinary figures, ordinary smiles, and even his beer belly, said to Al with a smile: "Young Master, what else do you command?"

"No, Mr. Noyc, I'm sorry for you. Al looked at the fat man in front of him and said in an affectionate tone.

This fat man was really ordinary when he was thrown into the crowd, and he could be forgotten immediately, but Al knew that he was not as ordinary as he seemed, and that he was harmless to humans and animals.

A person who oversees all the intelligence affairs in the Western Territory in the Northern Territory, the head of the Iron Thorn Family's intelligence network in the Northern Territory, and a senior spy who has been lurking in the Northern Territory for more than 20 years, will be an ordinary person?

Therefore, Al just showed his respect as a sign of attention.

Noyke looked at Al, then at the nightingale and pandan behind him, and muttered in his heart: "Why are there two more little girls? Could it be that Young Master Al was born and died on the front line, and he actually has two confidantes?"

Thinking in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, but sighed: "Young Master, you must have suffered a lot in the barracks of the Guardian Army, right?"

"It's good that you're safe, although the Duke and Duchess don't show it on their faces, they have always been worried about you. ”

Hearing his words, a warmth rose in Al's heart, "Yes, this trip has been gone for so long, they are worried, and my father is afraid that there will be a few more gray hairs." ”

Thinking like this, he longed to grow a pair of wings and fly to the west immediately, but here he was, there was still something he had to do.

"Hehe, young master, are you going back to the Western Border? I'll arrange it right away, and you can leave tomorrow." ", Noyke added.

"There's no hurry. Al shook his head, "If you want to go back, I won't come to trouble you." Although I don't know much about the rules of intelligence, I still understand the basic principles, and if we come to see you recklessly, we will increase the risk of exposing you. ”

Noike had a touched look on his face, "I bothered you, young master, so you came here for ......"

"It's for the recent events in the North. Al said bluntly, "I wonder what happened in the North Territory lately, making it so heavily guarded?"

"I've heard a rumor that the Duke of Reinhardt is no longer dead?", Al asked.

"So you're here for this. Noike nodded, sighed and said, "Even if you don't come, we will definitely try our best to find out, this is our duty." ”

"Actually, it's not just us in the western realm, I guess that several other forces are also showing their magical powers, trying their best to find out the details. ”

"So, is there any progress?", Al asked.

"No clue. A trace of sadness appeared on Noike's face, "To tell you the truth, we have used a lot of methods, but this Duke's palace is really unable to penetrate the needle, the water cannot be poured through, and there is no flaw at all! We have been busy for a long time, but we have not even found the slightest bit of news." ”

"And in the black market of Eagle Castle, all kinds of rumors are spreading wantonly. Some of them are fake at first hearing, but some of them sound a little more reasonable, in short, they seem to be true and false, so that we can't tell the difference at all. ”

Al frowned, "You're saying that someone is deliberately spreading rumors in an attempt to fish in troubled waters?"

"It's possible, but it's just speculation. Speaking of this, Noaike sighed again, "The point is, we don't have even a little credible evidence, not even reliable clues, and all the speculations now are just our imagination." ”

"And how can these conjectures be used as information?"

"It seems that the water in this Eagle Castle is deeper than I thought. Al fell into deep thought.
