Chapter 48: Cross-examination

The next day, Maddock was invited by the Guerrilla Association to hear a report from Estelle and others.

"Have you rescued the Doctor safely...... Joshua, Astelle, thank you. ”

"It's nothing...... Estelle said with a wry smile, "we just did Mr. Reilly and AgatΓ© a little favor." ”

"If you want to thank you, please thank Agat, who is still protecting the Doctor and Tita. Joshua said with a smile.

"I know......" said Maddock with a worried look on his face, "I hope they can escape without ......"

"Now I can only trust AgatΓ©. Kirika nodded and said, "However, it seems that Colonel Richard is about to start an operation in the royal capital." With that black force guide called 'Gospel,' ......"

"Hmm...... We don't know what he's going to do with it, but we'll just tell Her Majesty about it as the Doctor has told. Estelle said.

"Miss Kirika, regarding this matter, although we have been commissioned by the doctor...... Joshua said with a solemn face, "But under the current situation, can we go directly to the royal capital?"

"You don't have any evidence of being caught sneaking into the fortress, so it's not a big problem. Wuxiang said solemnly: "However, you have to hurry up in time." Also, the central workshop may be inspected......"

"yes, now it's time to think about what to do...... "Maddock nodded and said, "Joshua, Istel, you must be careful. ”

"Leave it to us!" said Estelle confidently.

"The foreman should also be careful. Joshua said solemnly.

"Haha, we're not going to be caught by those guys from the Department of Intelligence. Maddock smiled and said, "Well, take your leave." ”

"We need to hurry up and see the queen as soon as possible. ”

"In that case, it's better to take a regular boat. Joshua said.

"No, I can't. Reilly said with a serious face: "At this time, the Ministry of Intelligence should have discovered the escape of Dr. Russell, and they will definitely check the airships everywhere." ”

β€œ...... It was my negligence. Wuxiang frowned and said, "Joshua and Estelle, you can go to the royal capital on foot." ”

"Got it! We'll be careful. ”

"By the way, please take this. Kirika pulled out an envelope from the counter and handed it to Istelle.

"This is...... A letter of recommendation for guerrilla qualifications?" exclaimed Estelle.

"You're welcome, just take it with the payout for your work. Kirika said with a smile.

"Well, thank you, Sister Wuxiang!"

Then the crowd hurried all the way to the St. Heim Gate.

"This is the St. Heim Gate...... It looks a lot like the Gruna Gate in the Loliente area. Estelle exclaimed.

"The Grantsel area is surrounded by a great wall, and the Porte Saint-Heim and Porte Gruna are also part of this Yaninburgh. Reilly smiled and said, "Even the artillery of the Imperial Army will have a hard time breaking through their defenses. ”

"I've heard that this is a sightseeing spot. Estelle said wistfully, "If I have time, I'd like to go up and see it." ”

"Haha, if it was Estell, she would have run along the walls with all her might. Joshua said with a smile.

"Isn't it?"

"So, does Estelle want to kiss Joshua on the wall?" said Reilly, smiling, "that way everyone will see." ”

"Who's going to kiss in that kind of place?!!It's not romantic at all!" said Estelle, blushing, "I mean...... The two of them sat together and ate lunch slowly...... Or while blowing the wind and talking about various topics......"

Joshua looked puzzled, "Don't we do these things all the time, why do we bring them up?"

β€œ...... Forget it, let's hurry up and go through the passage procedures and continue to march towards the royal capital. ”

"Uh...... Estelle, are you in a bad mood?"

"That's you're nervous!" Reilly tapped Joshua's head and said, "Get through the formalities, stupid." ”

"Estelle ......"

"It's true that you're nervous. Estelle pouted, "Let's go!"

After entering the St. Heim Gate, the soldier in front of the counter said with a smile: "Welcome to the St. Heim Gate, do you need to go through the formalities to go to the royal capital?"

"Yes, can it be done now?" said Reilly, smiling.

"Yes, just sign this list. ”

"No problem. ”

"Anyway, are you going to the royal capital to watch the martial arts conference?"

"Martial arts tournament?" Estelle said, a puzzled expression.

"Don't you know? Liberl holds a martial arts tournament every year in the Arena of Grandcel. Reilly explained: "Led by the elite of the Kingdom Army, the powerful people from all walks of life gathered together for a long time at the conference. ”

"yes, yes, the preliminaries are going to be held this afternoon!" said the soldier excitedly.

"That's interesting!" said Istelle, too, with an excited expression.

"Haha, that's something Estelle loves. Joshua said with a smile.

"At Her Majesty's behest, this year's tickets are also discounted...... If it weren't for duty, I'd like to check it out!"

"Ahaha, that's a bad thing. Estelle smiled and said, "However, instead of being a spectator, we should just enter the competition! ”

"yes...... However, the preliminary selection has already begun, and I am afraid that I will not be able to apply now. Joshua said, "And we have to complete the commission, so we can only look at it when we have time." ”

"What a shame...... Huh, Mr. Soldier, why are you staring at us like that?"

"That, the badge on your chest...... Are you guerrillas?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Any questions?"

"No, that...... Is it a problem, or is it a ...... Forget it, it's impossible to think about it......"

At this time, an officer came out of the next room: "Hey, don't talk to yourself when you're on duty. ”

"Ah, Captain......"

"What, what's the problem?"

"That...... These three men seem to be guerrillas......"

"What?" the officer's expression tightened, and he looked at the three of Reilly: "I'm sorry, can I delay you a little time?"

"But we're going to the royal capital. Estelle said without thinking.

"It's going to the royal capital...... the officer thought for a moment and said, "Excuse me, what are you going to do there?"

"Because of work, we're going there to meet somebody. Before Astelle could speak, Reilly scrambled to answer.

"What kind of work is it?"

"This matter involves the privacy of the client, please forgive us for not divulging. Reilly shook his head and said, "Did something happen?"

"Well, that's ......," the soldier explained, "we have received an order from our headquarters to investigate the guerrillas passing through here. It is said that the Royal Guard betrayed Her Majesty and set off a series of horrific incidents in various places...... In addition, there are some lawless elements disguised as guerrillas who operate among the people......"

"Those guys are really arrogant...... "Reilly stomped on Estelle without a trace, and then said, "Actually, we've already fought the outlaws you talked about. ”

"Is this true?" asked the officer, grimly.

"Have you heard of the attack on the Central Workshop?"

"We've heard about it...... Have you fought with those prisoners?"

"I was already going to catch those people, but I didn't expect them to have airships...... No wonder the military is so nervous. Reilly spread his hands and said.

The officer's face changed: "What? The prisoner actually has an airship?!" If this is true, the matter is serious.

"Ah, you're finally here. Just as the officer was about to ask again, a scholar with glasses came up to him: "Oh, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

"This isn't Professor Yaruwa, you've come just in time. Reilly smiled and said, "We're in a little trouble here, and we might want to ask you for a favor." ”

"Wait, wait. The officer was shocked and said, "Who are you, sir?"

"Ah, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. Yaruwa smiled and said, "My name is Yaruwa and I am an archaeologist. ”

The officer looked at the soldier in charge of registration and said, "Has this person gone through the formalities?"

"Ah, yes......" The soldier opened Yaruwa's registration and said, "This gentleman's passport has been confirmed before, and the historical museum of the royal capital can also prove his identity." ”

"Really...... Then no problem. The officer nodded and said, "Disrespectful, Mr. Yaroa." Excuse me, how did you get to know these three?"

"Because I had to investigate the ruins, I asked them to be the guards. Yarois said, "This time, I will ask you to protect me to go to the royal capital." ”

"That's right...... Forget it, at least it can be proven that they are not terrorists in disguise......" The officer thought for a moment and said: "I'm really sorry, I misunderstood you just now. ”

"Uh-huh, I see. Estelle said unashamedly.

"It's also the responsibility of people. Reilly smiled and said, "Professor, let's find a place to discuss the next trip." ”
