After Elaine left the room with some doubts, Abner pinched his chin and asked Hugh, who was also thoughtful, "Baron Larry is the 'Punishment Knight' who was dragged by living corpses and werewolves in the main hall at that time, right?" ”

"Right...... It's a bit weird indeed...... It stands to reason that even if someone finally got something in the main hall, it should have been Colonel Myron, who had no opponent at that time, that would have said to ......" Hugh said with a little confusion.

"There's definitely something in here that we don't know about...... You know, the 'arrest of Baron Larry' was supposed to be a secret from your MI9, but the person who had just summoned him told it to a maid...... It's like leaking information on purpose. Abner thought for a moment and analyzed.

Hugh pursed his lips and suddenly sighed, "I feel that the Rune military is full of conspiracy...... It seems that everyone has ......."

Although she doesn't have much of a sense of belonging to MI9, she is a full member of it, so it's a bit complicated.

That's not because George III wanted to become a god, and in order to hide from the Orthodox Church, he naturally had to sacrifice some interests and cooperate with some secret organizations...... And since there is cooperation, it is inevitable that some of their small actions should not be too serious, or even add fuel to the fire...... It's inevitable that it will get more and more chaotic.

Although Abner knew the root cause of the problem, he didn't want to talk to Hugh, and only told her that it was best to join Her Highness Vera as soon as possible.

That princess is a member of the royal family, and she will definitely not be assigned too dangerous tasks, Hugh can not only mix up the credit with her, but also not be easily used as cannon fodder and outcast.

"I understand...... Hugh nodded, then packed his luggage, and when he was about to leave, he looked in the direction of the basement with some reluctance, and muttered, "I still haven't soaked in the hot springs......

Although she passed the internal inquiry of MI9, there was really no problem with herself, and even in order to avoid being "predicted" or "divined", Abner did not tell her the details of the "ferry ticket" - because the estimated time of the "ghost empire" docking at the dock will be in June next year at the earliest, so Abner is not in a hurry to inform others, so as not to leak the secret.

But MI9 still sent a team to watch her from afar.

Speaking of which, although the team was secretive, it still couldn't hide from Abner's eyes, so he knew everything about the other party's heart.

However, it is precisely because of their presence that Abner cannot activate the "teleportation altar" so as not to be discovered.

Hearing Hugh's regret, Abner smiled and said, "When your mission is completed, won't you be able to go at any time?" Besides, I've had a lot of Fursack's Kinhorn stealthily replaced, so I can buy the hot spring inn then. ”

"Okay." Hugh nodded, and habitually wanted to raise his hand to grab his yellow hair, but then remembered that Tarot had spent a lot of time taking care of them before the meeting, and couldn't help but stop his movements again.

"Abner, I have something I'd like to ask you for." Hugh raised his head and said seriously.

"What's the matter?" Abner asked curiously.

"The kind of hat on your maid's head that can change 'hairstyles'...... I want one too. ”

……

In the small three-story building where MI9 is located, the military's demigods Tester and Georgina are questioning a local intelligence officer:

"Who told you to spread the word about our arrest of Baron Larry?!"

"Your Excellency...... Be...... It was Colonel Myron's order......" replied the person in charge, trembling.

"Myron?" Tester and Georgina looked at each other and asked, "Did Baron Larry tell you about the box he took?" ”

"It seems to be ......," the person in charge struggled to remember, and sweat ran down his forehead.

"What do you mean?" Duchess Georgina asked with a frown.

"That's it...... I remember Baron Larry taking the box, but I can't remember how I knew that......"

The person in charge said a few words like a dream, and then woke up, "By the way, I only remember the result of Colonel Myron's asking me to spread the news...... But when and where I met the colonel, I can't remember anything. ”

"Can't remember?" Tester waved his hand to let the person in charge leave, and then paced around the room with a frown, before he asked Duchess Georgina, who was wearing a black evening dress, "What do you think?" ”

Duchess Georgina thought for a moment and analyzed:

"According to Mountbatten, the box was taken away by Myron and Card, and it wasn't Larry' anything......

"But if this is Myron's attempt to divert attention, it would be too stupid to look like a regular MI9 officer would do.

"Of course, maybe there is something wrong with the box itself...... the 'prisoner' is good at cursing, and it is not impossible that he will be magnified 'desire', distorted his thoughts, and even replaced by another person."

"That makes sense......," Tess nodded and continued, "but it doesn't rule out that a third party is muddying the waters!"

"Maybe they're trying to mislead us into giving up tracking Larry and going to Tyron instead......

"But it's possible to do it the other way around......

"Even, expand your thinking, no pigs, their purpose is to let us separate our hands to find those two, and the real target is actually Carder?

"It depends on how well our opponents know us......"

Georgina thought for a moment, then spread her hands and said, "So you fall into the trap of thinking...... It's like Russell's joke: 'I prejudged your prejudgment, you prejudged my prejudgment and I prejudged yours ......'. ”

"Yes, we'll have to find a way to regain ......the initiative," Tester muttered for a moment, as if remembering something, and asked, "Vera is almost to Byam, right?" ”

"Yes, it will be tomorrow at the latest...... Do you want to? Georgina's eyes lit up after replying.

"Vera's promotion to demigod, I'm afraid the people behind the scenes don't know yet...... In this way, we can divide into three ways.

"Let Vera lead the team to hunt down Larry, you lead the team to find Tyron, and I go to find Card...... In this way, the three parties have demigods to follow, and they are not afraid of what tricks the people behind the scenes will play. ”

Tester is full of confidence.

Next, after the two finalized the details, the meeting ended.

However, before returning to his lounge, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: Is Prince Mountbatten's words really credible? Even if he was in the Southern Continent, he passed through me and Georgina's inquiry......

But he then forgot about it and pushed open the door to the lounge.

……

On a warship that had just escaped the range of the Furious Sea, Prince Mountbatten stared at the calm sea, which was completely different from the sea behind him, and asked Vera, who was also looking at the seascape, "Auntie, why are we going to Byam?" ”

Vera turned her head to the side, gave him a meaningful look, and replied, "You'd better be careful when you get to Byam...... After all, I probably won't be with you......"

As she spoke, she glanced at a seagull with black eyes on the mast.
