Chapter 454: On the Watchtower
It's been more than an hour since Regina left the watchtower.
Ivor, on the other hand, had just noticed that something was wrong.
Princess Regina went to this bathroom...... Isn't it a little too long? Even if you go down from the watchtower, go through layers of blockades, and go to the nearest outpost or private store to borrow a restroom, it won't take that long, right?
Because he had been focusing on the task at hand, Ivor was a little late in realizing this.
Could it be that this Princess Regina just found an excuse to slip away? In terms of this princess's character, it is possible...... But even if he slipped under Ivor's nose, he didn't have much to say.
But what if Princess Regina is in danger on her way to the bathroom!?
Thinking of this, Ivor filled his brain with various arrangements, and unconsciously cleared a clearing to think about the consequences of encountering this situation.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Ivor felt.
So Ivor called the lieutenant and whispered to him to check the traces of Princess Regiana.
There is still no progress in the search work, but Wavansen's uneasiness is growing. After all, it is a bit unscientific that there has been no news since Regina got the military order for so long......
Regina took Ivor's military order, and it was certainly not as simple as just looking at it.
Just then, an intelligence officer sent to the city guard arrived at the top of the watchtower and handed over a letter with fire paint to Ivor with the latest information.
According to the intelligence officer, this is the latest investigative report on the incident at the Morpheus Hotel.
Originally, with the current situation, Ivor had no intention of checking the letter in person, and at most would throw it to the adjutant and ask him to extract important information and relay it to himself after reading it. But now that the lieutenant had been sent by him to find out the news of Princess Regina, Ivor opened the letter himself and swept it through the lines at a glance.
Years of work have given Ivor the ability to quickly extract key information, and at first glance, he has a general understanding of what is stated in the letter.
It's nothing more than the identities of the characters that appear in the Morpheus Hotel and the units involved.
"Is it an academic scam related to Imperial College...... Tut. ”
General Ivor is not from a professional background, so he doesn't treat the Imperial Academy very well, and the academic fraud scandal that broke out this time has further deepened General Ivor's stereotype.
So after reading it, Ivor casually threw the letter on the table beside him.
“...... Imperial College?"
Wavanson's ears pricked up when he heard about the Imperial Academy. His instinct drove him forward and asked General Ivor if he could show him the letter.
Originally, as Wavansen's current status as a "trainee officer", he would not have access to this kind of letter, but considering his dual status as the seventh prince and a student in the comprehensive department of the Imperial Academy, Ivor still agreed to Wavansen's request.
Therefore, Wavansen did not twist, just picked up the letter and read it.
In the first few sentences, the expression on Wavansen's face did not change much, but the more he read the back, the more he thought about the expression on his face, and the more he thought about the direction of "surprise".
Academic Scams...... Pretending to be Professor Su Wen...... There are also four fugitives whose identities are suspicious......
There were four people in the group, three women and one man......
"General Ivor...... May I ask, are the three fugitive women and one man involved in academic fraud in this letter the targets of our pursuit this time?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
A conjecture in Wavansen's mind suddenly came to sleep.
"Can you tell me about the target's physical characteristics?"
Ivor touched the back of his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know where the adjutant threw the information, but I can tell you about the general characteristics." ”
Wavansen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and pricked up his ears to listen.
“...... The man, except for the black hair, has no conspicuous features. Female, one has gray-white hair and a normal figure, one wears glasses and carries a bag, and the other is a little petite, and the age is difficult to judge...... However, the three women are all very good-looking, and the clothes they wear are all high-end goods......"
The appearance of Su Wen and Ellie immediately appeared in Wavanson's mind.
"So, is that man's identity the 'Professor Su Wen' in the Morpheus Hotel incident?"
"Yes!" Ivor turned his head and stared at Wavansen with a "how do you know" look, and said, "What, is that person really Professor Su Wen?" However, according to the people at the Morpheus Hotel, the identities of these people are only suspected of pretending to be Professor Su Wen, after all, these people disappeared that night, as if they expected what was going to happen, but the analysis of the city guards was that this person should also be a fake, otherwise there was no reason not to stay and cooperate with their investigation......
"In terms of physical characteristics, it should be Su Wen's right......" Wavanson's expression was a little solemn, as if he was organizing the language, in order to make Ivor realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Do you know this Professor Su Wen?" Ivor asked again, "But this fugitive is probably not the professor you know, this person looks like he is only in his twenties, a professor of Imperial College in his twenties, this is too mysterious, isn't it? Not to mention what are you doing with so many girls as a professor......
"I do know Su Wen...... But, in fact. Wavansen felt cold sweat begin to ooze from his forehead: "Su Wen, it's not a professor, it's just a teacher from the Imperial Academy......"
Ivor showed a "look, that's to say" expression, and didn't seem to have any interest in continuing to listen to Wavanson's next introduction, looking at Wavansen with a urging look, hoping that he would end his speech quickly.
"He did look like he was in his twenties. ”
Although he is young, the mode of combat practice class of the Imperial Academy, which caused a sensation in the academic world this year, is from his hand...... It's really his own handwriting. And this is guaranteed by the deans and school leaders......"
Ivor's expression became a little strange.
"The gray-haired one was his sister Ellie...... I'm a little unsure of the identities of the other two girls...... But most likely, it's the young lady of the Snow Castle family......"
Snow...... Snow Castle?
How could this teacher of the Imperial Academy still have anything to do with Snow Castle?
"But if you're petite...... Among the young ladies of the Snow Castle family, only Shirley meets the conditions, but if there is Shirley, it is impossible for Roland's kid not to be there...... Not...... The identity of that woman may also be another friend of Teacher Su Wen......"
“...... Who?"
"Mia, is his teaching assistant. Yumi, an administrator of our college library......"
"......" Ivor put away his casual moment, looking forward to Wavanson's next words.
can make Wavansen's expression so serious, and the identities of those people will never be as simple as they sound......
"In the last attack of the Ancient Demon Sect, it was their ...... who played a key role"
"What?" Ivor didn't understand what Wavanson meant.
Wavansen only learned some of the specific details from Marina's mouth, but because the facts were too exaggerated, Wavansen did not intend to say them.
After all, Magellan of the Ancient Demon Sect was knocked down by Ellie's punch, and the monsters that appeared next were cut into pieces of meat by Yumi several times...... Even if such a fact is said, no one will believe it, right?
At that time, all the students thought that defeating the monster was the result of the concerted efforts of the deans, after all, it was the deans who protected the students.
They also took it for granted that the knight in black armor and another masked purple man were members of the dean's side.
In addition, Su Wen and others later communicated with them and expressed their reluctance to take over such a big honor, so when the final arrangement was made, they downplayed the credit of several people and took over the whole to everyone's efforts.
"Those people were all received by my father himself...... They played a fifty times greater role in that incident than I did......"
After Wavansen finished speaking, the top of the watchtower fell into a long silence.
Ivor and Wavanson stared widely, neither of them opening their mouths to break the silence.
After a long time, Ivor confirmed to Wavansen as if he had a conclusion: "How sure are you that they are identified?"
"If I just read this information, I am only 50% sure. But judging by what they did this morning, I'm 100 percent right now. ”
"Ten percent?"
"Ten percent. ”
Wavansen and Su Wen have known each other for a whole semester. In addition to the face-to-face relationship between the two, more often, he learned about Su Wen through Marina.
In addition to Marina, he has also heard a lot about Su Wen in the mouths of Balot, Roland, Shirley and others.
In such a big scene, he still maintains the data of zero casualties, which is indeed something that Su Wen can and is willing to do.
"Will ...... General!"
At this time, the adjutant just now, with a look of panic, hurriedly appeared at the door of the tower room. This time, he didn't even give a military salute, he opened his mouth directly, and hurriedly said, "I have found the whereabouts of Princess Regina......
"Where?"
At this time, Ivor didn't have time to discuss the details of etiquette with the adjutant, but asked directly.
"Princess Regina...... Now it is in the lockdown zone......"
Wavanson chuckled in his heart.
This is really something that sister can do...... Perhaps, she also wants to take this credit herself, and then shut her father's mouth?......
"In the lockdown zone?" Ivor looked confused.
No matter how important Regiana's identity is, those soldiers shouldn't let her in, right?
"Princess Regina, take your military order......"
Hearing this, Ivor touched his waist, but only touched the void.
“...... Oh, that's what I gave her. ”
At the first moment, Ivor immediately calmed down and said calmly.
The military order, I don't know when it was taken by Regiana. However, stealing military orders without permission is a serious crime in the army! If there is any accident, he will be directly executed!
Execute a princess directly! Or Emperor Marreno may be the most beloved princess!
Joke!?
No matter which side it is, Ivor can only take this issue on his own head first.
Before the adjutant could say his next words, Ivor could only hope that Regina would not do anything with the military order.
Wavansen broke out in a cold sweat and felt deep admiration for the General Ivor in front of him. In this situation, it is no wonder that someone who can adapt to such an extent becomes a general......
“...... Princess Regina said that she had found the trail of her target and had led people to surround the Earl of Ausves's palace, hoping that the general would bring people there as soon as possible......"
Found the target trail?Earl Court of Auschwis??
Ivor turned his head, glanced at Wavansen, and immediately put on his helmet.
"Let's go, hurry to the Earl of Auschwith!"
In this case, he had to be on the scene as soon as possible......
"Prince Wavansen, you come too. ”
"Yes!"
Since Wavansen knows Su Wen, it is also necessary to bring Wavansen with him.
But with Wavansen's plan, even if Ivor doesn't bring it up, Wavansen will take the initiative to ask for it.
......
"Listen inside, you are already surrounded, you have to come out and surrender within fifteen minutes, otherwise, we will not guarantee that we will not take coercive measures!"
Regina stood at the gate of the Earl's Castle in Oswales, holding a magic megaphone, and shouted at the house.
Behind her, several neat rows of soldiers from the Golden Lion Battalion were standing, with all kinds of equipment, on standby. The soldiers of the Lion Guards surrounded the entire Earl's Palace. The folk masters in the blockade area are also on standby.
In just a few minutes, Rejana organized the soldiers scattered in the blockade area with the military orders in her hands. Then quickly rushed to the scene and surrounded the Earl's Court.
In fact, the moment she chased her out of the Earl's Palace, Regina had already discovered that the four magical reactions were just mirror images.
As for why Su Wen and the others wanted to divert themselves from the mountain and then stay in the Earl's Palace, Ruijana didn't have time to think. All she knew was that she just had to calculate.
After knowing that Su Wen and they had no intention of sitting down and talking, Regina did not hold out hope, but quickly changed her policy, wanting to take them down first by the fastest means.
In a way, Rui Jiana's course of action is somewhat similar to Su Wen's.
At this time, in the Earl's Palace, Su Wen and Vera were still sitting on both sides of the coffee table, and they didn't speak to each other.
"Oh, it looks like your time is up. Vera smiled, stood up, and looked at Su Wen.
"yes. Su Wen also stood up, looked at the black-pressed soldiers outside, turned his head again, looked at Vera, and asked with a smile, "So have you figured out how to explain it to them?"
"Clams??" Vera looked confused.
