Chapter 124: The Demon Messenger
356
Early on Friday morning, just after dawn, the newsboy had already begun to run.
Seeing this, Richard, who had gone out to buy lunch for the school children, took the opportunity to buy a copy of today's "Beckland Daily".
It was still early, so she sat down at a cafΓ© and ordered a mushroom soup and a sandwich. opened the newspaper, and suddenly the child's hole shrankβ
"The Kingdom Army Suffers from the Attack of Terrorists, and Medium-sized Arms Fight Breaks Out in the Southern Continent Colonies"
Richard frowned, endured the physical and psychological discomfort, and read the report carefully.
To the effect that a large-scale fight took place in a medium-sized colonial city on the Southern Continent last night, with at least a hundred people involved. These armed terrorists attacked the garrison of the Kingdom of Rune, and the soldiers of the garrison quickly regrouped their troops after the initial surprise, fought valiantly, and finally repelled the terrorists at great cost.
At present, the identity of the terrorists has been ascertained, and they are members of the resistance forces of the Highland Kingdom related to the cult "Rose School" and some members of the "Restoration Congress" of Byron, and this is a premeditated military act that seriously endangers the lives and safety of the soldiers of Rune and the people of Rune in the colony.
For this reason, Rune's garrison has issued a statement to the country that it will encircle and suppress nearby strongholds, and strive to deal a heavy blow to the terrorists in the southern continent and the remnants of the former dynasty who intend to destroy peace, and to restore a safe environment for the people of the southern continent and the people of the northern continent.
After reading the report, Richard took a deep breath, put down the newspaper, and felt a little sick to his stomach.
"Ademisor's premonition of a catastrophe is definitely not two months ......away," the Angel of Temperance muttered to herself, her expression a hint of ferocity, but also clearly aware of something, "This report is clearly aimed at me. β
In fact, the cult "Rose School" did not appear much in the newspapers, and it was only widely circulated in the extraordinary world. After all, their area of activity is far away in the southern continent, unlike the Aurora Society, which has believers in various countries, and may also pose a threat to the safety of citizens' lives and even the country.
But this time it was obviously different, it was just that the sparse and ordinary vicious revenge on the garrison in the Southern Continent actually focused on the deeds of the Rose School and the rebels, obviously trying to attract the attention of certain people.
- For example, a cult leader who is concerned about the independence of the Highland Kingdom and is not currently in the Southern Continent.
"Somebody wants me to go back."
"But I've only been here for the second day."
The people behind the scenes are too anxious. In other words, there is a good chance that the disaster will happen during this time.
After figuring out the joints, Richard regained his composure. Just then, the waiter also brought the soup and sandwiches. After thanking him, Richard began to think quietly about how to deal with the matter.
On one side are the people of the East, and on the other side are the rebels of the colonies and S'ea who are already on the verge of becoming terrorists. In fact, he has no choice, and if he can't make a decision as soon as possible, maybe in two days, the newspaper headlines will be the number of rebels wiped out.
There's something intriguing about what's going to happen in the East End......
Richard quickly drew up a plan and settled the food in a hurry. After leaving the cafΓ©, she went to the nearby Maria's processing factory, and as she walked along the way, Richard suddenly felt a spiritual touch.
With the help of the magical item's expanded field of vision, she saw that in the blind spot behind her, a person who was not very tall was secretly observing her.
After being glanced at by her, the little man turned back into the darkness.
In the dark alley, Hugh leaned against the wall in disbelief, feeling the flashing warning on the target he had just monitored, as well as his own spiritual warning, and couldn't help but gasp.
"MI5 asked me to pay attention to the movements of such a strong man? Even if his reward was one of the main materials for the "Interrogator's" potions, I wouldn't dare to go any further......"
"High in the Sky"
"This Fursack spy doesn't look easy! Could it be the powerhouse of the Fusak Intelligence Service? What did you want to do in Rune? β
Anyway, the connector has already told me both main materials, so I'd better give up this task and go collect it myself.
Sensing that his subject was gradually moving away from his range of observation, Hugh relaxed slightly. She made up her mind to tell the connector bluntly that she would give up the observation mission, and that her goal was beyond her ability.
That's at least a medium sequence, or even higher, but why is the difference in strength so big that the connector still dares to let himself accept the task? Is it because they have too many low-sequence informants, and it doesn't matter if they lose one or two...... Hugh snorted, clenching his fists in some rage.
On the other side, Richard forced all the eyeliners close to him back, turned into the alley, and then penetrated the wall in the state of a resentful spirit, and appeared directly in the janitor's room of the processing factory.
Gavin Lead, who was polishing parts, instantly felt that the living corpse in the guard room had lost contact with him, and he immediately felt that there was an enemy attacking, and was about to rush out, when another living corpse standing next to him suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder.
Gavin Leader broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.
The living corpse was a somewhat old middle-aged man, first smiled at him, and then said solemnly, "I requisitioned your living corpse." β
With that, the living corpse returned to Gavin Lead's induction, let go of his hand, and continued to polish the parts with a blank face.
This...... He finally understood a little, nine times out of ten, a strong person in the organization who was higher than himself requisitioned his living corpse. Since he couldn't resist, he accepted the reality, and he continued to screw comfortably.
In the cramped janitor's room, Richard appeared on the window glass in a state of resentment, lit a match, and the living corpse in uniform half-crouched down, closed his eyes, and whispered in Old Hermes:
"Me!
"In the name of Richard Ernst I call:
"The spirit that wanders in vain, the scout of the Bishop of War, the messenger of Trenor Sauron Vaughn alone."
Woo!
The wind blew up, the flames were dyed green, and it was cold all around.
A slender white-gloved tanuki jumped out of the shadows, glanced up at Richard, and complained in his heart in anger:
You know I'm the messenger of that guy alone, right?
"Riel, I'm going to ask you for a favor this time."
Riel shook his fur, and the cat's face made an extremely humane expression of "benefit": "You say." β
"I want you to go to Byam in the Rorsted Islands and ask about the current situation of the head Garland De, the Spirit Order, and the Resistance of the Highland Kingdom." A piece of paper floated out of Richard's pocket, which was a report cut from the newspaper, "Go and ask him when this happened, if there is any more detailed information about the number of people and numbers on both sides, and come back and tell me after asking." β
"Okay, anything else?" The piece of paper floats in front of Riel, who glances twice, not very interested in human cannibalism, but folds it up anyway.
"No more. Remember to say hello to Trainor on my behalf. β
Riel answered, turned around and leaped lightly into the shadows, disappearing into the material realm in an instant. The flame in Richard's hand turned back to normal, and she quietly disappeared from the glass of the guard's room, appearing in a corner outside the East End.
The Angel of Temperance tugged at his collar and walked out of the corner to a nearby bakery.
The doorman's corpse fell to the ground in a half-kneeling position, and then, opening his eyes, he slowly stood up, looking around warily.

Riel walked briskly into the spirit realm, roaming along the way, and soon crossed the cities and coasts of the physical realm to the corresponding spirit realm of Byam.
From the perspective of the spirit world, in the orphanage of the Ernst Foundation, one of the "janitors" is Garland de the "janitor", surrounded by the spirit of death and the pale aura. Not far away, there was a humanoid silhouette with a spiritual brilliance radiating outward, and it looked a little bloated, and it was undoubtedly the little fat man Sharf Maxwell who often came to eat.
Trainor, for his part, has ended the disguise of Scharph's whereabouts and smoothly pushed everything on the followers of human trafficking and the cult "Primordial Moon". In addition, Sharf himself is just a Sequence 6 "craftsman", who disappeared alone and did not have the seal of the Church with him, so his disappearance is not a big deal.
Even Bonova Gustav, who was in charge of managing Russell's descendants, has now given up the search and ended the investigation.
Rare jumped out of the spirit realm and suddenly appeared on the wooden box in front of Garland De.
Garland de was surprised for a moment and adjusted his facial expression: "Hello. β
This respectful attitude makes Riel feel comfortable - who wants to face someone who is higher than him all day long?
So the demon cat raised her chin proudly, handed the report cut she was carrying to Garland De, and asked very casually, "Do you know what is going on above?" β
The janitor took the report seriously, read it seriously, and replied with a serious expression and a hint of hideousness: "I know more details, including the cause and effect. β
Riel raised his paw, "Write it down." β
"There's a detailed report here, and I was going to report it to the chief."
Garland took a few documents and meticulously reported to the demon messenger: "The raid happened the day before yesterday, because the main force was the rebels of the indulgent faction and some members of the 'Restoration Congress', so I didn't report it immediately, but chose to contact the 'Spirit Order' to obtain further information and intelligence. I also sorted out the specific related events last night. β
Riel's attention had drifted to Garland De's desk, as it noticed that there seemed to be pearls in it that were in good shape.
"The cause of this incident is that the Restoration Congress forces under the command of Her Majesty the Empress successfully broke through the Rune army last week, temporarily occupying more than half of Aldra, the third largest city in Bailang, and Ardra has entered a state of war, and conventional intelligence means cannot enter, but it can be known that there is a tense confrontation and street fighting inside, and the blockade has not been lifted until today."
"This is a relatively good victory for the Restoration Congress in recent years, and it has boosted the momentum, so the rebels in various places have also risen up."
According to the report, it was not the Rune garrison that clashed with the Highland rebels, but a well-trained force, who wanted to go around the rear of the Restoration to carry out a strategic attack, attack villages or strongholds, and force the main forces of the Restoration to turn back to the defense, but they encountered the indulgent rebels near the colonial city of Intis, and soon after they exchanged fire, the surrounding members of the Restoration Congress also reacted. The two factions had the same idea of resisting the Northern Continent, so a two-sided melee was formed. β
"The highest number of participants is Sequence 5, and the demigods have not joined, so it's not too serious."
As a cat, Riel doesn't care much about the Spring and Autumn penmanship of the Human Newspaper. As a demon, Riel is intrigued by Garland De's description of the scuffle, and thinks about sneaking in to sharpen his claws and have some fun.
"In other words, what is reported is actually fake?" It says.
Garland de frowned slightly: "It's hard to say. But as soon as the scale of the conflict intensifies, the rebels in the southern continent will immediately be at a disadvantage. Her Majesty may simply be trying to use the occupation to force Rune to change the governor of Aldra, or to change some of the treaty, because the trafficking in human beings there is so great that the entire village has disappeared altogether. β
"Of course, Her Majesty the Empress is radical in her thinking and has many supporters, and it is entirely possible for her to liberate Aldra in one fell swoop."
It's just hard to guarantee how long it will be liberated...... Garland de sighed imperceptibly.
Riel yawned and stood up, "Give me all the information." The paper flew up on its own, getting smaller and smaller, and then fell into its hair, "Is there anything else you have to say?" β
"Her Majesty wishes to order another batch of light and heavy machine guns from Her Excellency Trainor."
"Anything else?"
"No, thank you." Garland de immediately pulled out a pearl the size of a fingernail from the drawer, and Riel looked at it for a moment before taking it in satisfaction.
It wagged its tail in farewell, then leaped off the wooden crate. In the process, its body took on an illusory appearance, and then it fell silkily into the shadows and entered the spirit realm.
"Both of them have something to say to Trainor...... "The demon cat yawned and stepped forward, "Then I'll go back to him first." β

Trainor was guarding the pan-fried salmon in the pot when suddenly a piece of salmon was missing in front of him.
The War Bishop looked at a special wooden shelf in the kitchen, and sure enough, he saw that his messenger was already lying on it and was beginning to nibble on the pieces of fish.
Naturally, he touched the bottle next to him and poured some goat's milk on the empty plate: "Richard summoned you away?" β
"You disappeared for three hours."
Riel ate the fish with a smile: "Is it time for lunch?" β
"It's coming."
"There are three more servants missing from the house." The cat said, "You've all been fired, and you're going to cook for yourself if you continue like this." The dignified Viscount, His Excellency the Sage cooks by himself, a little too unqualified, right? β
"Ahh My father was promoted to the first sequence, and now his whereabouts are unknown, and I am not going to leave, and the next summons of the church should be punished by God. Some of the mansion and the fields have been secretly sold, turned into cash and jewelry, stored in several bank accounts abroad, half of the servants in the manor are disguised as secret puppets, and Trainor, who cooks it himself, is in a calm mood, "What is the matter with you?" β
Riel jumped off the wooden shelf and landed quietly on the marble countertop, dipping his paw in goat's milk, then licking his paw:
"The rebels of the Southern Continent are fighting with the Northern Continent again, and it seems to be fighting fiercely and chaotically."
"You want to participate?"
"I want to play."
"Yes, you can go." The War Bishop said, "Choose your target and leave no trace." β
It suddenly became happy, and it sped up and briefly summarized the cause and effect, and finally added, "The Pale Empress of the Spirit Order wants to buy another batch of machine guns. β
"The Restoration will finally profit from the frontal battle, and it seems that this time the Pale Empress has also made a decision, and the Gatling and submachine guns have indeed caught the Rune by surprise." The arms dealer said to himself, "Okay, I'll place an order for the military factory in the southern continent when I go back, and we'll talk about the details." β
"This time the Runnes and the Southlanders fought near the Intis colony? There is no news in the country, is it that it has been suppressed, and it seems that there will be a little diplomatic incident...... This is a good opportunity for the Sauron family, who have exposed themselves by stealing the information of the difference machine before, and now they have a reason to scold back diplomatically. β
Those guys will definitely want to go further, such as taking advantage of the situation to change the governor of that colonial city...... Hmph, it definitely won't work. Come to think of it, Trainor didn't have the idea of doing things for the family, so he went back and revealed this information to the family to see how they reacted.
The salmon was fragrant, and Trainor expertly poured white wine into it to remove the flavor, squeezed in half a lemon and put some chopped onion, rosemary and cream to her liking.
"It doesn't matter to me what happens on Rune's side, it's more practical for Richard to worry about himself than in the Southern Continent."
Riel struggled to look away from the fragrant salmon in the pot, feeling that the raw fish in his mouth was no longer fragrant: "She asked me to say hello to you on her behalf." β
"You want me to take her place to temporarily spy on a slum in Rune? She also thinks of me too much. β
"If I had that much ability, I wouldn't be able to stay with Intis."
Trainor spoke, scooping up a piece of fragrant salmon and placing it on the goat's milk plate that had been drunk in front of Rare:
"I'm going to get the 'faceless dolls'. You turn it back and bring it to Richard. β

I'm busy with the things at hand for the time being, and I'll double watch tomorrow.
