Chapter 215: Surveillance and Intelligence
"You mean...... Marquis Leo didn't bring any guards with him when he returned to the emperor this time?" Duke Solo asked in surprise. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yes, Your Excellency Duke, according to Wiland's information, that Marquis Leo only brought an old slave and a magician with him to the imperial capital this time, and all his hoplite soldiers remained in his castle and Silverstone. A military officer from the Ministry of Supervision reported.
"That's weird...... Wait, a magician?Where did a magician come from?When did Leo recruit a magician, and why wasn't there a report on it?" Duke Solo keenly caught a suspicion in the intelligence.
"This ......," said the officer, "After the Marquis of Leo returned from the south of Pingding, there was an extra magician by his side, and the specific identity could not be confirmed, so it can only be concluded that this is not a magician from our Varu Empire, it is very likely that he was recruited from the Kingdom of Lorraine, and this is the portrait of that magician." ”
The officer pulled out a portrait of Master Merlin from a stack of folders in his arms, which vividly displayed the physiognomy of Master Merlin with great drawing skills.
Duke Solo took the portrait and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed enough to kill a fly. With a bang, Duke Solo put the portrait on the table, slapped the table with one hand and reprimanded: "Can't you find out your identity with such an obvious feature?
When the officer saw that Duke Solo was angry, he stammered and defended: "It is said that a mage of this age should have been registered a long time ago, but we have checked the information of all the magicians of Lorraine over the years, and there is no such mage, as if it appeared out of thin air." ”
"Out of thin air!" the officer's unintentional words made Duke Solo's mind like a lightning bolt, as if he had grasped a hint of inspiration, and he unconsciously repeated this sentence in his mouth over and over again.
With a snap, Duke Solo slapped the table again: "It just appeared out of thin air, and the people around him appeared out of thin air, no wonder he couldn't hold on to his feet." ”
"This ...... It can't be!" The officer was frightened by Duke Solo's wild speculation.
"How is it impossible? When he was in Haruna Village before, didn't there be a report that a group of cavalry and strong men under his command all appeared out of thin air? There were also homeless people, heavy armored soldiers, and cavalry that had appeared around him, and even the old slave who had never left his side and the current magician, didn't they all have no identity at all, as if they had never appeared on the mainland?" Grand Duke Solo seemed to have found a way, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.
"However, we have also speculated before that if we want to teleport a large number of people of this size over a long distance, the current teleportation circle will not be able to do it at all, even in the Kingdom of Lorraine, otherwise their mage group would not be beaten so badly. This is simply something that only a god can do!" The officer didn't believe Duke Solo's speculation at all, and looked at Duke Solo with a look in his eyes as if he thought the Duke had gone mad.
"Yes, only God can do it!" Duke Solo looked at the officer with a look of anticipation, and felt that the officer seemed to be on the point in every word.
"This Leo used to be a waste, an idiot, and in the Covinas family, he was a rice worm who ate bastard, accomplishing nothing and doing nothing. But since he was kicked out of the magic academy, there was suddenly an old slave by his side, and since then, strange people have continued to appear around him, constantly helping him to save him, and even a whole army of wolf cavalry can't help him. It wasn't a miracle or anything, I should have thought that he must be the patron of some god. "Duke Solo's judgment is very correct and basically in line with the facts, but unfortunately the conclusion is biased.
"No wonder since he appeared, the Southern Rebellion has been resolved, the Houdang Rebellion has also been quelled, and the Lorraine Magician Regiment has been disabled, which is simply a blessing for the Empire!" Duke Solo suddenly felt that he was so suspicious of Leo before, and it seemed that he was really a little wrong to blame Leo.
"By the way, has Marquis Leo entered the imperial capital now?" asked Duke Solo, looking up.
"Yes, Marquis Leo has just entered the imperial capital at night, and now he has returned to his mansion in the imperial capital, and it is estimated that he intends to go to meet His Majesty the Emperor early tomorrow morning. The officer replied.
"Well, well, then I'll see you in the palace early tomorrow morning! With a wave of his hand, Duke Solo ordered the officer to leave.
The officer respectfully and slowly exited Duke Solo's office, stood at the door of the office and thought about it before shaking his head and leaving, he really didn't understand how Duke Solo came to that conclusion. The distracted officer didn't notice that a servant outside Duke Solo's office who was sweeping quietly glanced at him, and quickly put down his work after he left, and left the inspection department quickly.
Soon after, the servant's figure appeared in front of Leo, but now his outfit had reverted to the ninja's black bodysuit.
"Oh, do you mean that Duke Solo has guessed so many things? It seems that this chief of the Supervision Department is not in vain!" Leo felt that he really had to admire Duke Solo, he had no clue about one thing, and he could even deduce so many things by him, worthy of being an old intelligence chief.
"But maybe that's a good thing, so that he won't be pulling me back, and maybe he'll help me from the side!Favorer of the gods, yes, I'm the patron of the gods, and I'm the patron of the gods, but unfortunately not the gods of this world......" Leo's voice grew lower and lower, and at last only he could hear what he was saying.
After the ninja finished his report, he bowed down and retired, and returned to the Supervision Department to continue his business, and no one in the Supervision Department noticed that the servant had deserted and brought important information out.
Duke Solo thought that he had mastered all of Leo's hole cards, but he never imagined that the Ministry of Supervision was basically like a naked beauty in front of Leo, and there was no secret at all. A ninja who is proficient in disguise can roam the entire Ministry of Inspection, constantly changing various identities and spying on all kinds of information, which is enough to make those intelligence agents of the Ministry of Supervision die in shame.
And the same thing happened with King Fairman, and even with His Majesty the new Emperor Paris.
