Chapter 9

Isabel's suggestion was accepted by the king, but the king's intimacy with her worried her, and it was a mixed blessing for her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now, instead of building the Moving Island or whether the king liked her, she wished to go to London at once, find Stoker, who was about to be wronged as a traitor, and then successfully turn him against him, and get more news from him about the British. If Stoker is indeed considered a traitor and could be sentenced to death, then she must get Stoke out of prison before he is taken to the execution ground.

Without further ado, she rode to Helgenburg and asked her boss, Duke Hans Orsin, to go to London, and begged Hans for permission on the pretext of assassinating the British Prime Minister Wilhelm Bentinck.

"What, are you crazy? are you going to go yourself?" Hans was taken aback, "I've been in the Ninth Defense for so many years, and no one has ever made such a crazy suggestion, it's too risky, in case you are arrested, how can I explain to the king?"

Although Hans did not seem to agree, she insisted, "Lord Duke, I mean it, please allow me. ”

"Then give me a reason to reassure me. ”

"Because, not long ago, we suffered a defeat in Copenhagen, and the British returned triumphantly, and they must be silent in the joy of victory, so why don't we take them by surprise while they let their guard down?"

"It's a good idea, but I'm afraid the British have thought of it too. ”

"Even if the assassination fails, I will definitely find a way to get something else. ”

"Since you have so much faith, I will send a few more men with you. ”

"No, I'll just go myself. ”

"Then I'll tell you first, you're in London, and you're trying to find a way to get in touch with the rats. ”

"Who's the 'Evil Rat'?"

"Member of the Ninth National Defense, he has been hiding in England for many years, I don't know what he looks like, I have only received his secret letters, in order to understand him, I have repeatedly studied his writing style through his secret letters, but his handwriting is ever-changing, there is no specific style, so, I can only judge by speculation. Hans took out a hardcover book from a drawer and handed it to Isabel, "This hardcover book is very helpful to you, it has some gesture codes in the Ninth Defense, you can take a good look at it, it will be of great help to you." ”

Isabel took the hard leather book and flipped through a few pages, "So, you agreed?"

"Before you are caught by the British, I want you to burn this hardcover. ”

"The British will not catch me, and when I have mastered these codes, I will burn them, please rest assured that the Duke. ”

"Then I'll get busy first. ”

"Good luck!"

Isabel left Helgenburg and, on her way to Copenhagen, happened to meet Blanca, who was known to countless people as "the hungry wolf who gnawed on the bones of death". Blanca had known for a long time that she would come to Helgenburg and which way she would go back to Copenhagen, so he had been waiting here for a long time.

Isabel wondered, "Why are you here, Blanca?"

"Do you know where Stoke will go when he arrives in London?"

"This ...... I really don't dare to speculate. However, I can easily find out his whereabouts. ”

"I advise you not to bother. ”

"What do you mean?"

"When Stoke was waiting in the harbor, I sent someone to follow him, and his every move was under my watch, and when you got to London, you went to the harbor first, and found a puppet seller, and then told him, 'No matter how long the night is,' and if he answered, 'The day will come,' it proves that he is my man, and he will tell you where Stoke went. ”

"No matter how long the night is, the day will come. ”

"Yes. ”

"You're really careful, then I'll thank you!"

"Good luck. ”

Isabel returns home and tells Hales about going to London. Hales was adamantly opposed to her going to London alone, and said very seriously: "Isabelle, are you crazy? ”

"The British are not so terrible, and my only enemy, Casto, is in England, and that is just a treacherous man who only takes advantage of people's dangers. ”

"She did what you said, but he must have overcome you and nearly killed you, have you forgotten?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten that Draco and Vanessa died at his hands, and I will definitely settle this account with him. But with the current situation, it's not the time to settle accounts with him, wait until I finish the task. ”

"Why don't you listen to the advice? The British Military Exploration Department and the Military Medical Department are full of talents, and you alone are not their opponents at all, if you insist on going, I will never allow it. This time, Hales's tone was harsher, more like a stern father criticizing his daughter.

"Why do you keep stopping me?"

"It's not that I'm stopping you, it's ...... I can't explain it, I just won't let you go anyway. You have to listen to me when your parents are away, because I am your guru and it is my responsibility to 'protect you'. ”

"At the beginning, you left me alone on Falster Island in order to train me, and let me find a way to go back alone. At that time, why didn't you say these things?"

"I was there to train you, but now it's different. ”

"Looks like I shouldn't have told you about going to London, I should have gone straight to it. Now, dear Mr. Graeme, my personal tutor, you have too much to do, please stop meddling, okay?"

"I didn't expect you to say that. Hales was heartbroken by Isabel's words, "It seems that I am overly worried, and in that case, I can only pray that you return safely." ”

"Thank you. ”

Once Isabel was armed, she boarded a ship bound for London that night. She found an unknown corner in the cabin, lit a candle, and began to learn the sign language codes in the hardcover. Whenever she heard someone coming, she would blow out the candle and light it again when they had left, and continue studying. For a few days, she lived like a year. During the day, she wraps herself in a coarse cloth and sleeps beautifully. At night, in addition to eating some bread properly, or catching a few rats and sucking their blood dry, she is all about studying the contents of the crustboard.

The ship finally arrived in the port of London, which was undoubtedly the greatest relief for Isabel, who had been hiding in the cabin for many days. Instead of getting off the boat, she waited until sunset, when there were few people, quietly disembarked, and tried to find the man who bought the puppets that Blanca had mentioned. But after looking for nearly an hour, except for passing carriages and pedestrians, I just didn't find anyone who bought the puppets. To avoid attracting attention, she took off her mask and gloves, lifted her wide hood, and continued down the street in search of people buying muppets. As she passed by a toy store, she accidentally glanced into the orange candlelit window and saw some puppets with different shapes on the counter, and she couldn't help but stop. Could this be the shop run by the man who bought the puppets? So, she put on her mask and tapped on the door a few times, "Is there anyone?"

Not long after, the owner of the house responded: "Who?"

"It's me. ”

"Who are you?" The door then opened, and the owner, a middle-aged man, did not feel frightened when he saw a girl wearing a mask standing outside the door, but kept staring at the purple eyes inside the mask, as if waiting for a response.

Remembering the secret message that Blanca had told her, Isabel said, "No matter how long the night is. ”

There was a slight look of surprise on the man's face, and then he added, "Daylight will always come. ”

"Blanca asked me to see you, do you have any news from Stoker?" Isabel asked straight to the point.

"You're a masked girl, come in. Isabel entered the house, and the man blew out the candles in the shop, and then took her into the living room and served her a fine black tea.

"Stoke arrived in London two days ago and was arrested a day ago. ”

"Do you know why he was arrested?"

"He is said to have betrayed the state and the organization, betrayed his countrymen, and secretly colluded with the Ninth Defense. ”

"So, the British court is going to sentence him to death?"

"Yes, he is now being held in the Tower of London. ”

"Did Stoke admit he was offended?"

No, he always considered himself a loyal servant and did not do anything against his conscience. But two prisoners who escaped from Fort Tomahawk were convinced of his collusion with the Ninth Defense, and saw the executioners shoot the men of the military medical department in front of him. ”

"I see, Stoke never wants to clarify himself, he will either resist or die. ”

"Your plan is vicious, and if Stoke knew that you had set a trap, I think he would have killed himself rather than be used by you. ”

"No matter what he thinks, I will get him out before he is executed, and if I can save his life, he will thank me. He had abandoned him for many years by the military medical department, and he would surely hold a grudge against those in the organization who were suspicious of him, so if he saved his life, he would certainly cooperate with me and reveal some of the secrets he had. ”

"He's being held in the Tower of London, which is heavily guarded, and if you want to save him, you have to do so only on the day he's shot. ”

"I'll keep an eye on the Tower of London for an opportunity to get him out, and if the fight is inevitable, I'll have to take extraordinary measures. ”

"What are your so-called 'extraordinary means'?"

"Killing all the guards of the Tower of London shocked the whole of Britain. ”

"Can you kill all the guards in the Tower of London? ”

"I have my own way. ”

"May God bless you. ”

"I will bless myself myself. ”

"I've said everything I need to say. ”

"Then it's time for me to go, and I wish you a good night's sleep. Isabel then stood up and left the toy store.

The owner of the toy store could only shake his head helplessly when he saw that the legendary masked girl was so confident and arrogant, and sighed in his heart, silently praying that she was safe.

In Isabel's eyes, her enemies are only her own kind and werewolves, and humans will always be the weakest to her, and they pose no threat to her at all. So, she then went to the Tower of London without thinking, and she was really a little impatient.

She quickly climbed the walls of the Tower of London, skillfully bypassed the two patrolling guards, then quietly jumped off the battlements and landed silently on the ground like a moth, and quickly hid behind the stone pillars, unaware of the two guards who were talking next to her. Taking advantage of the guards' unpreparedness, she suddenly appears, stuns the guards, and then hides them from being discovered by other guards passing by.

The Tower of London was so big that it was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone inside, and besides, Isabel had not studied the structure of the Tower of London beforehand, and had to feel and courage to grope her way here, which was a waste of time, and at this moment, she regretted that she had not made any plans, so she rushed here. Just as she hesitated, from the location of the Bloody Tower, the hoarse cursing of soldiers and the screeching of shackles rubbing against each other. She immediately ducked into a dark corner of the corner and peeked into the location of the Bloody Tower. When she looked closely, it turned out that some prisoners with their heads covered were boarding the prisoner van one after another, as if they were going to be taken to the execution ground for shooting. It was so late that there were still prisoners to be executed, presumably some important prisoners, and she suspected that Stoke was among them. When the prisoner van left, she quickly climbed up the battlements again, climbed over the wall, and followed her.

Escorted by ten cavalrymen, the prisoner wagon weaved through the dark alleyways, and Isabel followed closely as she was as light and nimble as a moth in the night, jumping freely from building to top. She followed the prisoner van to a forest on the outskirts of the city, then climbed a tree to observe.

The prisoners got out of the cart and stood in a row, a total of seven people. The cavalrymen also dismounted, stood in a row, loaded their guns, and prepared to execute the prisoners. One of the soldiers, who looked like an officer, walked up to a prisoner and ripped off his hood. At that moment, Isabel could see the prisoner's face clearly, it was Stoker.

The officer seemed to be very fond of killing, and before killing, he humiliated Stoke with a wicked smile: "Stoker, what else do you have to say this time? You are a filthy and despicable shameless person, not only did you betray your country and betray your compatriots, but you must have slept with that masked girl?"

"The greatest shame of our country is that there are villains and scum like you, and the so-called military exploration department and military medical department have no ability to resist the enemy except for those who can only doubt themselves. ”

"When you are dying, you dare to insult the best elite organization in the country and shoot you to death, it's really cheap for you. For amusement, the officer ordered Stockla to be set aside and executed the other six prisoners first.

As the evil officer was about to begin torturing Stoker, Isabel suddenly jumped from the tree and threw out the terrifying chain blade, wrapping the evil officer around his neck tightly, and then gently tugging, the sharp barbs on the chain blade instantly caused the officer to be in a different place. His headless corpse also pulled out of the ground for a while, not moving.

Several other soldiers lost consciousness from fright when they saw the tragic death of the officer and the masked girl herself. This time, Isabel's murderous heart reawakened again, and she completely left her 'mercy' behind, using the chain blade in her hand to kill all the soldiers present. Then find the key from the soldier's corpse and open the shackles for Stoker.

However, the saved Stoke did not appreciate it, but suddenly grabbed Isabel by the neck, stared at her with wolf-like eyes, and said: "Are you satisfied now? My hero, who served my country, became a traitor overnight, all because of you, and all the illusions you have set up are nothing more than trying to make me betray the country." ”

Isabel pretended to be pinched and couldn't breathe, "Please...... Listen to me. ”

There was no pity in Stoker's eyes, only hatred, and he pushed Isabel to the ground, pointed at her and roared, "You listen to me, from now on, I don't want to see you again." ”

Isabel is like a helpless weak woman, "I don't understand what you're saying, and I don't know what others have done to you, but right now, you have no choice. ”

"No, that's not true. Stoke couldn't believe it was true, he was originally the elite of the country, but now he has become a public enemy of the country, which is a very huge blow to his heart, thinking about it, he looked up to the sky and roared, and then turned from a long howl to crying and laughing. At this point, I am afraid that God will not be able to clarify it for him.

"You did not betray your country, but your country betrayed you, your organization abandoned you, and it was because of the suspicion of your compatriots that you have come to this point. Isabel's tone seemed to comfort him, more like to provoke him.

Stoker finally calmed down, then carefully helped Isabel up, "I'm sorry. ”

"Now, come back to Copenhagen with me and do it right away. ”

"At this point, I can only go to Copenhagen with you. ”

Isabel finally succeeded in winning over Stoker, which is undoubtedly a big gain, her efforts have not been in vain, and this is also the biggest gain since she joined the Ninth Defense. Stoker is an important figure in the British Military Medical Department, and must have some confidential information, and once the Ninth Defense has his support, it will not be so difficult to deal with the Military Medical Department.

This night, for Isabel who was out on a mission for the first time, how long and how meaningful.

Isabel took Stoke overnight to the port of London, where she found the toy store that Blanca knew, and with the help of the owner, Stoke disguised himself as the owner's helper and boarded a merchant ship bound for Copenhagen before dawn. But at this time, Isabel refused to board the ship, because the sky was about to dawn, once it was daylight, she would inevitably not reveal her blood identity, in order to cover up her truth, she asked to stay in London for the time being, and then go back after the mission was completed.

With the arrival of the morning glow, the fog in the city gradually faded, and the number of pedestrians gradually increased, and Isabel had no time to say goodbye to Stoker. To avoid people's eyes, she turned and walked into the dark alleys of the city and disappeared. The reason why she chose to stay in London temporarily was to fight Britain, a powerful enemy, more effectively, and to plunge the British royal family, politics, and military into the greatest panic and chaos in history by killing. In her mind, only in such a terrifying way could the majesty of the Ninth Defense and its own worth be proved against such a formidable enemy as Britain.
