Chapter 87 The plan changes
said that he wanted to search for Laqi's traces, but of course he couldn't look for it with his eyes closed.
But as for the method of searching, Alice left it to her sisters to decide, and she carried out the policy of not having ideas but contributing. Because even if she was asked to give advice, she couldn't come up with any good ideas.
In this regard, Sophia is different, he has a wealth of experience in traveling to many countries to gather intelligence, and finding someone should be just a piece of cake for him. Even if there is a bottleneck, Aliza on the other side can provide a variety of equipment support.
It's really reliable sisters.,It's so capable.ใ And if it is replaced by other aristocratic families, a capable sister may only make the eldest man and eldest daughter in the family feel in crisis.
After all, aristocratic families, especially lords, attach great importance to the issue of inheritance, and it is not uncommon for brothers and sisters who are related by blood to fight each other openly and secretly, and fall into a quagmire like family infighting.
However, Alice was an exemplary sister, she loved her family dearly, never envied their talents, nor was she distressed by the question of inheriting the family business, but rather enjoyed the current rhythm of throwing off the shopkeeper.
With the two of them, Alice even had the illusion that her future life would be smooth sailing.
So, let's talk about the plan proposed by the excellent sister for this search operation.
First of all, you need to lock on to the general position of the target.
You must know that even if it is far from the country C where Alice lived in her previous life, the Terrence Empire can finally be called a vast land, just from Silia to the imperial capital, if you take the official road, you have to pass through at least ten major cities.
Most of the towns are different from small farming towns like Silia, with populations in the hundreds of thousands. To find someone from among them, not to mention a girl who travels alone, can be described as a needle in the bottom of the sea.
But considering that Raki can fly, she shouldn't deliberately look for official roads, and for the demon dragon who has been sleeping for thousands of years, she should know nothing about the path paved by humans.
As a result, the search becomes even more difficult.
But there's nothing to worry about, as long as there's Sophiaโ
However...... Surprisingly, the former senior intelligence officer failed to give any eye-catching advanced strategies, but rather simple and tiring advice.
Cities after cities to inquire......
To put it simply, you can reverse speculate on the route of the possible route from the destination, and then follow the route to ask for clues about Laqi.
It's a stupid idea that even Alice could have imagined...... It's the most efficient tool available today.
Of course, this does not mean that Sophia's top informant is in vain. There is a major premise that cannot be ignored, Sophia is the top intelligence agent of the 'modern earth', and the civilization level of this world is too backward.
If you put it in the former Earth City, every intersection, every ATM, every airport subway station, and so on and so forth, there are countless surveillance cameras installed in public places where everything can be obtained.
Sophia can use some 'special technology' to infiltrate the operating units of these cameras through 'irregular channels' and obtain all the images needed from the data terminals. Combined with some cutting-edge software for full-speed screening, you can perfectly track your opponent's whereabouts even without leaving home.
Unfortunately, this approach obviously did not work in an empire with only medieval civilizations.
So after a big circle, I returned to the original point - where the hell is Raghi going?
After all, Raghi embarks on a journey to find Alice's father, Count Lutga Cruznier, Lord of Celeria.
But she didn't even know where Lutega was, and Sophia probably guessed what the aimless Raghi might do......
It's a bit of a bad thing to say, but Ratchet is basically a. She probably couldn't think of any clever way to find someone, so the situation was the same as the three sisters at the moment, and every time they passed through a city, they would go down to the city to arrest people and ask.
Of course, Count Lutga is just a small border nobleman, and he is by no means a celebrity in the Empire, and even if he is famous, it is difficult for Ragie to ask any clues from others.
Then, she can only go to many towns tirelessly, and continue to ask people without stopping. In this way, there will definitely be eyewitness information about Laqi in many places.
So in the end, Alice and the others had to take the same stupid method as she did, and start the heavy work in a down-to-earth manner.
The only consolation was that, according to Eliza, Hilda was equipped with a magic detector that could cover twenty kilometers away. A unique and powerful signal like Rakhi's Demonic Pattern can be captured as soon as it enters the range, and its specific coordinates can be locked immediately.
Although it's not as good as the small circular radar that searches for dragons, it still has good performance. In this way, they only need to ask Laki about the direction in which they are traveling, and they can quickly find their target.
You know, although Raki has turned into a human form, she is still very conspicuous.
Otherworldly, stunning, and overwhelming, it is not enough to describe her beauty.
The sudden arrival of a stunning beauty like this in the city - probably from the sky, is enough to attract attention in every sense, even if it leads to some major accidents and riots.
After all, in Alice's memory, the beautiful Ratchee did not understand human values very well, and although she looked quiet and elegant in human form, she was in fact still a dangerous race with strong self-esteem and belief in force.
If she encounters a ruffian hooligan who makes a joke or even moves her hands and feet, she may fight if she disagrees, and the power of the dragon clan is not trivial, and she can kill people with a gesture...... This is no joke, the more you think about it, the more worrying it becomes.
Eliez herself could use the magic of flight, while Alice and Sophia were held in Hilda's arms, and the three sisters tossed and turned at breakneck speed.
Then again, this was the first time they had left their homeland and traveled around other cities of the Empire. For the younger sisters, the scenery was fresh along the way - but now they are in a hurry, and there is no time for them to take a slow tour.
In a blink of an eye, two days and two nights passed.
The results were fruitful, and as Sophia had expected, there were more or less traces of Raghi's passing in the towns around Silia. And most thankfully, it seems that Raki hasn't heard of a killing spree anywhere.
As for why passers-by answered the sisters' questions honestly and kindly, of course, it was not because the three of them were cute and charming, but because of Eliza's amazing brainwashing magic.
Also because of the urgency of 100,000, it is also necessary to take some extraordinary measures. Alize also controlled the scale, so it should not leave sequelae on the other party's spirit...... Probably.
In short, following the clues they found along the way, the three sisters finally visited a noisy town called [Aitania]. If you use the common sense of the earth to describe this place, it is - the red light district that minors are not allowed to enter.
Here, the flowers are colorful and colorful...... The atmosphere was not thick enough, and the smell of tense gunpowder was everywhere. Armored guards, forming a queue, wandered back and forth through the streets and alleys. And those prostitutes who wore heavy makeup did not go out into the street to solicit customers, but only seemed to look out cautiously from the door of the store.
Sophia said: "The atmosphere here is almost like a European country intimidated by iโ, can it be said that there are extreme terrorists infiltrating the city?"
"Huh...... If that's the case, it would be great, why do I think this commotion has nothing to do with Raghi......"
Alice's eyelids were pounding from the start, which was not a good sign.
By the way, the reason why the soldiers on the road didn't notice them was because Aritzel had cast the [Transparency] wind element magic on several people. By changing the density of the air, it manipulates the refraction of polarized light, and finally achieves a kind of magic to hide the body.
To put it in a fashionable way, this is [optical camouflage]. It's not that their bodies are gone, it's just that others can't see with their eyes.
In fact, this is not a convenient magic, it takes a lot of magic to continue, not to mention, it can only deceive vision, and this world is full of magical beasts and aliens with extremely sharp facial features, so it can't play much role in actual combat.
Then, according to the usual tactics, Sophia cleanly knocked out a soldier who had left the patrol and was hurrying to relieve himself by the wall. Poor him, he was only halfway through the pout, and he wet most of his pants before he fainted.
Ariezel used her brainwashing to immediately determine the cause of the tension in the city - because of a heinous murder case.
Now, the wanted criminals have not escaped from the city, they are lurking somewhere in the city, and the reason why these soldiers patrol day and night is precisely to arrest a few vicious gangsters.
The approximate facts of the case are as follows-
Four days ago, the nobles and wealthy merchants of the city of [Etania] were all killed on the same night.
The wanted murderers are two young men and a teenager. It is said that it was a murder caused by jealousy in a high-end prostitution parlor in [Paradise].
But none of this information really matters, the important thing is that the wanted person also reported himself to his family, Count Rutega Cruznier, before committing the crime.
The three sisters were stunned...... They never imagined that on the way to search for Laqi, by chance, they learned an earth-shattering ugly secret.
The perfect father, who has always been respected, actually left his territory and daughter behind, and played in the red light district, not to mention, he even killed the killer for the sake of jealousy.
The perfect father figure in the memory collapsed in an instant.
"Scum, no matter how you think about it, it's all scum......"
Alice shook her head sadly.
"No, it's too early to conclude that my sister and father are just ordinary people, and they have probably accumulated a lot of pressure, and many colleagues have said that they will seek various ways to vent their stress after work. It is said that finding a woman to give you a hard beating is the most effective. โ
Sophia tried her best to try to plead.
"Ahaha~~ No matter what, I can't leave my father alone~~ Let's find a way to save him first~~"
Alize gave the most constructive advice with a smile on her face.
Thereupon...... The three sisters had no choice but to abandon their search for Laqi first and launch a rescue operation against the wanted criminal, that is, their father.
