Chapter 15 The Mayor's Commission
"Really, really luxurious...... Shall we have a conversation in this hotel?" Estelle kept looking around, as if she was not adjusting to her surroundings.
"Let's talk about it here. Mabel nodded and said.
"I've heard that the mayor of Perth is a woman...... "Sherazadeh said with a smile, "but I didn't expect to be so young." ”
Speaking of which, Mabel was born five years before Istelle. Reilly said.
"Ah, I'm just a fledgling young man. Mabel smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's just that I inherited my late father's position." ”
"That's frank. Joshua said.
"After all, I'm the daughter of a businessman, and I don't know much about officialdom. Mabel looked at Reilly and said, "In the beginning, I caused a lot of trouble for the teacher. ”
"That kind of little thing, don't take it to heart. Reilly waved his hand and said, "I've known your father for a long time. Moreover, Maybell is so cute, any man would be willing to help. ”
"Old, teacher......" Mabel said with a red face, "I will be embarrassed if you say that......"
"Let's change the subject. Reilly thought for a moment and said, "Is there anything you need to say about that commission?"
"I hope that the Guerrilla Association will assist in the investigation and resolve this incident. Mabel nodded and said, "I think the guerrillas are more flexible in their actions than the army, and they should be able to find out the truth earlier." ”
"What an honor. Shelazad smiled and said, "You think too highly of us." ”
"A businessman just has to have a keen eye. Mabel thought for a moment and added: "In fact, among the missing passengers, there was a big businessman with considerable influence. If this incident is not resolved, the flight control of the Royal Army will continue. In that case, we won't be able to do business......"
"That's right. Reilly nodded and said, "For Perth, every day the ship is out of service will cause millions of mira in damage. ”
"Count, millions of Mira?!" Estelle was taken aback.
"This loss will continue to widen over time. Mabel said with a wry smile: "So I need the guerrillas to assist in the investigation and solve this incident as soon as possible." Well, are you willing to accept my commission?"
"Although we also want to accept it, the military is very rejecting the guerrilla associations, so the investigation here is not going well. Shelazad said, "Can you give us some help?"
"You mean General Morgan, right? He hated the guerrillas early on. ”
"Well, the mayor's sister knows the general, too?" asked Estelle curiously.
"General Morgan is an old friend of my father, and I have met him a few times. Mabel smiled and said, "So, I should be able to help you." ”
Joshua asked, confused, "What do you mean?"
"Lila. ”
"Yes. Lila took a pen and letter from her bosom and handed them to Mabel.
"I see. Reilly smiled and said, "Are you going to ask General Morgan for intelligence support as the head of the Perth region?"
"I can't hide anything from the teacher. Mabel nodded and said, "With this letter, you should be able to get the information you want." ”
"But what if the general, who hates guerrillas, refuses to see us?" said Estelle, worried.
"As long as there is a teacher who comes forward, there is no need to worry about this problem. Mabel smiled and said, "He's a hero of the kingdom." ”
"Ahh......h
"It just helped a little bit in the war ten years ago. Reilly put away Mabel's letter and said, "Then let me negotiate with General Morgan." ”
After eating, Reilly and his party entered the steel wall road from East Perth Street. After showing Mabel's letter to the guards at the station, the group made their way to the Haken Gate.
"This is the ...... of the Haaken Gate," said Estell, in surprise, "what an exaggeration!"
"This level is necessary in order to connect the two mountain walls. Reilly said solemnly: "After all, the Haken Gate is the first barrier of the Liber Kingdom, although it was destroyed in the war ten years ago, but it has been re-strengthened later. ”
"So, the other side of the gate is no longer the land of the Liber Kingdom?" asked Estelle.
"Ahh Joshua nodded and said, "That is the territory of the Erebonian Empire. ”
"Erebonia ......"
"Don't waste any time, let's go to General Morgan. Reilly duly changed the subject: "You two take off the guerrilla badge on your chest first, so that General Morgan doesn't see it." ”
"Ah, I almost forgot ......"
With that, Estelle and Joshua took off their guerrilla insignia.
When Reilly and his party arrived in front of the barracks, the guards guarding the gate looked surprised: "Where did you guys come from? If I'm not mistaken, the guard station on the Steelwall Road hasn't been lifted yet, right?"
"We are sent by Mayor Mabel, please inform General Morgan. Reilly took out Mabel's letter and handed it to the guards.
"I see...... "I see what you mean," said the guard, reading the letter. But unfortunately, the general went to the scene to direct the search operation and is not in the barracks at the moment. ”
"So, when will he be back?" asked Reilly.
"Hmm...... It should be within today's time. The guard thought for a moment and said, "There is a tavern and a rest house over there, you go and wait for a while, I will inform you when the general returns." ”
"Rest House...... There are also taverns...... Why are there all these facilities here?" asked Estelle, surprised.
"Because of the strict border checks, there are many travelers who have been delayed. Reilly explains, "They wouldn't be happy without them. ”
"As the gentleman said, taverns and rest houses are for travelers. The guard nodded.
"In that case, let's wait in the tavern for a while. Shelazad suggested.
After entering the tavern, a blonde young man accosted Reilly and the others, "Good afternoon, everyone. Do you look like you're from Liber and you're going to travel to the Empire?"
"No, we're here to do something. Estelle shook her head and said, "I don't plan to go to the Empire. ”
"Are you from Erebonia?" asked Joshua, "Visiting Liber?"
"Hehe, half work, half travel. ”
"Really, why do I look like three points for work and seven points for travel?" said Reilly, smiling.
"I hate it~ Don't just tell the facts, it will be embarrassing for people. ”
"I don't see any embarrassment about you. Joshua did his work again.
"Are you here to do business? I see you for what you really are. The blonde youth smiled.
"Really?" said Istelle, confused.
"I suppose you're guerrillas, aren't you?" a gleam flashed in the blonde youth's eyes.
"Y-How do you know...... We've taken off our guerrilla badges!" Estelle was shocked, "Could it be that you're also a colleague?"
"Unfortunately, I am not a guerrilla. The blond youth shook his head and said, "It's just that I have some acquaintances in the guerrilla association." You give me a lot of the same feeling as they do, so I'm going to make a bold guess. ”
"Very observant...... I don't think you're an ordinary person, are you?" Joshua stared coldly at the blonde youth and said, "Are you really here to travel?"
"Don't stare at me with such a terrifying expression...... "The blonde young man said with a smile, "The cold eyes that shimmer with amber brilliance, like the color of the finest brandy, make people want to kiss Fang Ze tightly." ”
Hearing his words, Joshua was so frightened that he took two steps back: "You, what did you say?"
"Could it be that Your Excellency's sexual orientation is different from that of ordinary people?" asked Reilly curiously.
"Hehe, I'm just obsessed with beautiful things. The blonde youth shook his head and said, "A beautiful woman of the last generation, a fresh and refined teenager, a scenery that cleanses the soul, the sound of heaven for three days around the beam, and a touching legend...... All of the above are my favorites. ”
"But what about your discipline?" asked Reilly, curiously.
"Temperance or something, I would have exchanged it for money a long time ago. The blonde youth said with a straight face.
"Who's going to buy that kind of thing!" Joshua began to complain again.
At this time, the guard who had spoken to Reilly before walked into the tavern: "The general has returned, I have reported your matter to him, hurry to the barracks." ”
"Thank you very much. Reilly nodded and said.
After walking out of the tavern, Estelle suddenly felt a strange sense of disobedience.
"Hey, why did you come with that?"
"Hehe, I found out. The blond youth smiled and said, "It seems that something interesting has happened, so I want to visit it too." Okay, you don't have to mind me, just go talk to the general. ”
"How could you not mind!" Estelle said angrily, "You give me back!"
"Stingy. The blonde youth muttered as he walked back to the tavern.
"It's unpredictable...... What the hell is he doing in the kingdom?" said Joshua depressedly.
"For the sake of protecting the peace of the world, it is better to ignore this strange man!" said Estelle, "and let us go to General Morgan." ”
