Chapter 150. The white dress
In late September 1092, after a long journey, Zhou Jinru finally approached Kazdale, and he spent nearly half a year on the road, passing through three countries, crossing the wilderness, and being dusty.
When he arrived at the holy place in Sakaz's heart, Zhou Jinru couldn't help but slow down the car, on the one hand, in order to have more time to prepare, and on the other hand, he also wanted not to stimulate the fragile nerves of the Sakaz people.
He changed into a black coat and put on a mask that he hadn't used for a long time, so that he could hide his identity and find an opportunity to get close to the person.
But things didn't go in the direction Zhou Jinru expected, and he happened to bump into another person on the road.
Sakaz men with short dark red hair blocked the way, a group of Sakaz to be precise, forcing Zhou Jinru to stop.
"Where are you from?"
"I didn't hear of Kazdale officials here setting up cards to interrogate passers-by."
The short-haired Sakaz man couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm not one of those good-looking members of the military council, what you say is useless to me, so let's say it, I just want to stop you." โ
The man's name was Hedley, and he was in the management of a mercenary, and he also had a boss with the letter W.
Zhou Jinru advised: "If I were you, I would never do this." โ
He doesn't want to do it yet, and if Hedreken retreats, then everything is well said.
If this guy insists on holding himself back, then give him some color.
"Well, it looks like you're going to have to go."
Hedley waved his hand, and the Sakaz behind him dispersed with a hula and made way for them.
Zhou Jinru snorted: "Are you just joking with me?!" โ
"Maybe, where do you want to go?"
"Where can Kazdale go, you don't know yet?"
The Sakaz man pressed his sword in one hand and pinched his chin in the other: "I guess you must want to see Her Highness Theresia, but there are countless people who want to see her every day in Kazdale, where can you get there?" โ
Zhou Jinru didn't speak and drove away.
Looking at the direction of the locomotive, Hedley muttered: "Why are they both willing to go to Her Highness Theresia's side, can they really give up everything for the sake of the so-called ideal?" But is it really possible to realize such an ideal, which is too beautiful? โ
If it weren't for the W, Hedley would have gone to the Tower of Babel in Kazdale to find out.
Just as he was stunned, a young woman's voice sounded in his ear: "Hey, Hedley, you're in a daze again, what the hell are you thinking, shouldn't your head be empty?" โ
"Don't make a fuss, Ines, you came back from the investigation, did you find anything unusual?"
The young woman named Ines retracted her smile and said with a serious expression: "The troops subordinate to the Military Council are all redeploying, and the specific news is not something that second-rate mercenaries like us can know, but one thing is for sure, there must be a fierce battle between His Highness Trasis and His Highness Theresia!" โ
"The Kazdale Civil War, it's not the first time it's happened anyway, and we can't do anything about it."
He was curious: "Ines, you usually say good things about Her Highness Theresia, why did you keep your mouth shut at this time?" โ
Ines scoffed, "Hedley, do you have nothing in your head?" Theresia's presence is a terrible man by his side, what do you think he can't do? Guess what you're eating tonight? โ
Hedley nodded secretly, that doctor is too powerful, even if the troops that can be called up are only one-third of the opponent's, he can adjust the position of each unit by continuously issuing orders, and win battles that are impossible to win.
"That's the end of the chat, let's go, don't let W wait too long, he's an impatient, and if he doesn't get it, he'll do some shocking behavior again."
โฆโฆ
As we get closer to the core of Kazdale, more Sakaz can be seen on the road, and for the vast majority of people, life is always going on, whether they are new to the people, or the Sakaz who have lived for several years, who are barely maintaining the basic structure of society.
Surprisingly, there were no combatants on the road, not even the police officers who were keeping the law and order in the city.
There are very few pedestrians on the road, and even if there are, most of them are holding their own things in search of a place to stay.
It seems that civil war is inevitable, starting in the autumn and not ending until the summer of the following year.
As for how to get into the Tower of Babel, he hasn't figured it out yet, maybe he doesn't need to mix, just swagger in.
Due to the tense situation, it took a lot of time for Zhou Jinru to find the location of the Tower of Babel, thinking that he would definitely not be able to contact him directly, because it was very likely that he would meet himself in this era, which he did not want to see.
"Stop!"
A shout came from behind him, and Scout, wearing a top hat, walked briskly and stopped in front of him.
"I don't seem to have seen you before, who are you, where are you from, who can prove your identity?"
The same question as a cannon, even if Zhou Jinru answered it himself, Scout might not believe it.
As a high-ranking member of the Tower of Babel, he has good reason to be suspicious of anyone who tries to approach the Tower of Babel.
"Nothing will prove it, I have come from the Sรกmi Icefield, passing through Casimir, Victoria, Ursas and Letania, not to hear from you who I am."
In the face of Zhou Jinru's questioning, the Sakaz man seemed to want to say something more, and suddenly, he lowered his head and expressed the greatest respect.
An ethereal female voice asked, "What are you arguing about?" โ
"Nothing, Your Highness, someone wants to infiltrate the station of the Tower of Babel, I just stopped him, now is a special time, I have to be careful, maybe he is an agent of Tracys"
As an intelligence officer, Scout's suspicions were not unfounded.
The princess in a white dress looked at the silent man, and after a few seconds, she said softly: "No need, he has no problem, you go and get busy." โ
"Yes."
Scout had no doubts about the princess's words and turned to leave.
After a long time, Zhou Jinru looked at Traesia opposite, and his voice was hoarse: "Your Highness, thank you for your help, thank you very much, I still have something to ......"
"I guess your business isn't that important, you can put it aside for a while."
The words of the white skirt made Zhou Jinru speechless, he came here across thousands of mountains and rivers, but in the end he didn't know what to say.
"Maybe."
"Come with me, don't refuse, just as you repay me."
Zhou Jinru was silent for a few seconds, looked at Traesia's back, and couldn't help but follow.
