Chapter 296: Undercurrents Surge
Chapter 296: Undercurrents Surge
There are only a few people who can sneak into the shadows, the world is so big, and there are only one target who can hide the perception of the psychic technique and appear here at this time.
According to the information from someone, there is another person who has the ability to hide his perception, and he is worried about some things at this time, and it is impossible for him to appear here. Therefore, the Priest of the Soul can say with certainty that it is the goal that has come!
"Okay, I'll go and inform the boss immediately!I finally don't have to stay in this damn place!" In the joy of the phantom bandits, Duru's convoy was still slowly advancing, and naturally, Aaron also returned to the carriage silently without any perception from the mercenaries.
Xu traveled for two days, no thieves intercepted, no suspicious people followed, and there was no abnormality. However, I don't know when, a trace of profundity pressed Alun's heart.
"The Phantom Thieves seem to be thinking too simply......"
From the words of the female bandit, it can be known that the thieves have been there for two whole months, and after two months of forced buying and selling, even at the border, the Bright Empire will not have no reaction......
Then the only possibility is that the Phantom Thieves have some relationship with the Empire of Light, or some people in the Empire of Light, so they can act unscrupulously on the border under the care of the above!
"My lord, what's wrong? Isn't there something wrong?" Feeling Aaron's abnormal reaction, Duru's heart jumped, and he asked softly.
Aaron's fingers swiped lightly on the map a few times, and Dulu's gaze, with the movement of his fingers, was a little dazed at first, and gradually became solemn.
"Your Excellency, what do you mean......"
Aaron nodded lightly: "Yes, we are indeed a little careless, it seems that the target of the Phantom Thieves Group is very likely to be us!"
The routes drawn by Aaron's finger are the closest routes from the branch of the Principality of Orlando to the City of Glory. One of them is exactly the path that Aaron is taking now. The route of the convoy has always been arranged by mercenaries, and they naturally will not choose a remote route! And if the goal can be set so accurately, except for Vivien, who knows the specific location of the branch headquarters, I believe that there will be no one else!
"If Vivian doesn't die, it will be difficult for the organization to have peace in the future!" A killing intent flowed from Duru's eyes, and there was also a hint of doubt: "However, how could this phantom thief group obey her orders?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Alun said slowly: "Naturally it won't be her order, how can Vivian be qualified to invite the Phantom Thieves ...... now" After a slight pause, the sneer on Alun's face became more and more obvious: "It should be a good thing done by Jessica! Hehe, I didn't expect this famous ghost thief to have a close relationship with some high-ranking people of the Empire of Light, and even the royal family of the Empire of Light." It's no wonder that some countries have united to exterminate the Phantom Thieves in the past, and every time they reach a critical moment, they will suddenly drop their chains, which must also have something to do with this Empire of Light!"
The Empire of Light, which has always claimed to be divine justice, has a close relationship with the extremely vicious ghost thieves group! Du Lu's face also showed a faint mockery, and he suddenly smiled again: "Fortunately, my lord, your existence has never been known to the mercenaries, and the ghost thieves group has checked the convoy, and they don't know that we are their target, so these days, there will be no abnormality!" Alun nodded slightly, although the phantom thieves in the woods are all good, even the powerhouses of the holy domain may not be able to detect his existence, how can those thieves find him! But you can't be careless, the border is guarded by phantom thieves, and the internal vigilance must be tighter and more secretive!
With his mind turning, Alun smiled lightly: "Whether or not someone is targeted, let's test it and find out......"
The convoy slowly entered a small town, rested at a tavern, and continued on the road. However, the merchant Duru had a temporary problem and needed to find an old friend in a nearby place, so after making an appointment for a meeting place, the team suddenly split in two at the city gate, and the mercenaries escorted the two carriages to continue on their way, while Duru and Aaron took another path.
This sudden change made some people's hearts move, of course, it was just a move. Knowing the vigilance of the target, the surveillance they arrange is a fixed-point surveillance. From this side to every town leading to the City of Glory, there are their people, at the gates, in the taverns, in all the places where the convoy may pass. Therefore, even if the convoy is divided into two, they will not be surprised at all, as long as he still wants to go to the imperial capital, he will always automatically come to their surveillance.
After walking on the deserted road for several hours, with no one following behind the carriage, Duru smiled: "It shouldn't have been discovered yet, the identities of the merchant groups we use are all real, and they will not arouse anyone's suspicion." ”
Alun nodded slowly, but said in his mouth: "Walk for another hour, if there is still no abnormal situation, we will return to ......" Suddenly a spiritual light flashed in his mind, the voice stopped, his eyes slowly closed, and his mind turned rapidly.
Duru knew that Aaron must have thought of something, and did not disturb his thoughts. After a long time, his eyes slowly opened, and the bright purple light disturbed people's hearts, and Alan said in a deep voice: "If you are Vivian, and there is a Phantom Thieves Group in front, will you not arrange people in the back?
In Aaron's words, Durou's eyes brightened, yes, Vivien knew Aaron's horror, and for his arrival, she had already been on the route that Aaron was most likely to pass, how could she not!
"Your Excellency, you mean, we may have been exposed?"
Thinking about things, Aaron's heart was clear, and he slowly shook his head and said: "Whether it is exposed or not, the original route, we can't go anymore!" Even if Vivian hasn't grasped my whereabouts yet, she knows your appearance, and if she knows that you are here, she can know my whereabouts as long as she thinks about it a little." ”
Duru is not Aaron, he doesn't have the magic of transfiguration, and he came from the Duchy of Orlando, so he will definitely be under the strictest surveillance, and perhaps at this moment, his information has been sent to the City of Glory is undecided. And Vivian, who knew Duru, naturally knew that the Fourth Elder would not appear in the Empire of Light for no reason, and only Aaron could let him accompany him personally.
"Throw away the carriage and I'll take another route to the City of Glory. As for you, since Vivien may already know that you are coming, the surveillance of you in front of her will definitely be more close. So, go back! Stay away from the route you came, find a place in the middle of nowhere, and sneak back to the Duchy of Orlando, remembering, don't go to the headquarters of the Ducal Orlando for a while. ”
Du Lu is not a reckless person, and when he heard this, he nodded: "Since this is the case, I will not hold you back." Great Elder, you should also be careful, since Vivien is prepared, with Jessica's help, the guardian power of the City of Glory must be unprecedentedly strong...... The royal family of the Empire of Light has never been inconspicuous, but their strength is quite amazing, and behind them, there is the support of the Church of Light......"
After receiving a rough map of the Empire of Light from Duru and asking about the few spies in the City of Glory, the two threw down the carriage and quickly parted ways.
..................
"What? A carriage has lost its surveillance? What did you do? Have you been raising you for nothing for so many years? Don't let me check it out!"
In a secret hall, an old man in a gorgeous robe was furious, and in the face of his outburst of anger, several black-clothed people all shrank tremblingly, and when they heard the last sentence, they hurriedly replied "yes", and humbly flew away outside the house.
"Wait!"
The body of the man in black paused again, and the old man beckoned to the man in black at the back: "You, come here, tell me everything from the beginning!" and waved his hand at the others: "You go and do something, give you a day, if there is no whereabouts of the carriage, let me enter the army!"
Naturally, joining the army is not to send them to be soldiers! The big men in the army also need normal physiological activities, and normal physiological activities require a large number of objects, and sending them into the army will naturally serve as the objects of the army's physiological activities!
The faces of the men in black were all filled with horror: "My lord, we will definitely find out the whereabouts of the carriage as soon as possible!" After that, they immediately turned around and left, compared to the miserable life in the army in the legend, their current life should be considered heaven!
The only one left behind sat on the old man's body tremblingly, and under the rough movements of the old man's hands, he quickly separated the carriage without warning, and then suddenly disappeared. The old man's rough movements gradually calmed down in her voice, and there were some doubts in his eyes, did he suddenly disappear without warning?
The old man was suddenly startled, and a force surged out of his hand, pushing the woman to the ground roughly, and just when the woman thought that she was about to be violated again, the old man suddenly walked outside.
Whether it's without warning or if you're aware of it, you have to report it to that side immediately!
.....................
Wrong, wrong! When Aaron thought that Duru might have been exposed and had to go on the road alone, he had already unknowingly completely disrupted Jessica's entire arrangement. As the royal family of the Bright Empire, it was naturally impossible for her to place the battlefield of killing Arun in the City of Glory. So she, along with the royal masters, the bishops of the church, and the ministers of the exchequer who shared her hatred, intercepted an open area where the convoy was supposed to pass.
At this point, the target suddenly disappeared. However, Jessica's arrangement is disrupted, and Aaron is just as anxious.
After all, the map of the Empire of Light was only a rough map, and Aaron was not familiar with it, so he had to bypass the original route at this time, so he was naturally dizzy. Every now and then, Aaron would lose some direction and have to find a city to re-route.
With both sides getting busy, Gradually, the City of Glory is getting closer and closer to Aaron! Jessica and the others have also retreated back to the City of Glory when they can't grasp Aaron's whereabouts for a long time!
Late at night, the magnificent Minoan Palace is still lit up.
In a silent hall, several magic lamps emitted a faint cold glow, and the light cast onto the scarlet carpet, pressing the hidden darkness even deeper. Two chairs, one inlaid with crystal and inlaid silver, are high on the top, and the other is simple and elegant, sitting next to them.
Edward IX sat on a high place, his slightly squinted eyes naturally exuding the power of an emperor, even if the noblewomen below had never been afraid of him, they couldn't help but be a little nervous in the face of this irresistible coercion.
The steady voice came slowly, and there was some coldness in the voice: "I used the Phantom Guard, I transferred the Knights of Glory, I summoned Archbishop Michael, I acquiesced in your alliance with Lynn, and I even invited Teacher Lionel for you, Jessica, I can do everything I can for you......"
Although his voice was indifferent and heavy, anyone could hear a trace of helplessness and pampering in Edward IX's words, and the one who could be treated like this by this cold-blooded and ruthless emperor was treated like this, except for the sister who was brought up by him since he was a child and had his most respected and beloved mother, even his own children did not have such treatment. Of course, if he just spoiled Jessica, Edward might not have used such a great force, but Jessica's goal happened to be one of the things he was worried about recently!
After a slight pause, Edward's eyes were a little complicated, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "Jessica." I can help you do everything, but you also have to promise me one thing, otherwise even if my mother is here, I won't let you do anything!"
When it comes to her mother, Jessica knows that Edward's attitude is extremely serious, and what he worries about. She is also well aware. Following Edward's words, Jessica said softly, "Brother, don't worry, I won't come nonsense." I have already made a new plan for this sniping, and it will definitely not be launched in the City of Glory!"
Except for formal occasions. Jessica's address to Edward has always been affectionate. Edward snorted softly in his heart, is it useful to talk about the plan to Aaron, who is fighting alone against the powerhouses of the three holy realms and still has an advantage, but he still did not speak very patiently, and let Jessica continue.
The voice in the hall suddenly lowered, and in the dense whispering, Edward's floor began to soothe.
