Chapter 102: Technological Deficiencies
"Some connections, but Maury gives too few clues..."
"Let's arrest the internal affairs officer Yumaz first!"
Heaton suddenly felt that it was ridiculous to let Gozzi waste time investigating the evidence of the crime at this juncture.
Since he can pull Yumaz, then he must not be innocent.
In order to prevent him from taking advantage of the chaos in the imperial capital to escape, it is better to take action when the other party is not aware.
"The man named Maury is from the slums?"
"Yes."
Gozzi was a little unsure why Heaton asked.
"How did your men interrogate?"
"There was no interrogation, and before he was brought to the interrogation room, he was scared to pee his pants and recruited directly."
"Hmm~ It seems that the rebels are far faster than imagined, get out of the palace and go to Dr. Fashion!"
Heaton changed his mind, decided on his itinerary for the day, and walked straight outside the palace, followed by Gozzi.
Heaton didn't plan to stay at the palace forever.
The palace is located in the middle of the imperial capital, but the disadvantage is that the transmission of information is too difficult.
From the outer city to the imperial palace, the distance of half a province, there is no transmission tool such as telephone, once in the imperial palace, the news of the outer city needs to be reported layer by layer, and finally delivered to the hands of Gozzi, and then reported to the emperor.
Even in order to deliver the news, the empire also deliberately set up a passage for the messenger to run the horse, which leads directly to the audience hall of the palace.
This is how strange the development of technology in this world is.
No telephones, no cars, as if there was nothing, but in terms of weapons ...
Firearms, artillery, bombs, cold weapons, and all sorts of bio-mechanical technologies.
It can be said that all technologies are developing at a rapid pace in terms of weapons.
Research Institute of the National Security Agency.
Heaton's return did not cause much movement.
Fashion is still immersed in research.
"Dr. Fashion, last night the South City was attacked by rebels."
Heaton picked up the fashionable black tea, gently blew away the hot air below, and then took a sip.
Since coming into this world, Heaton has gradually fallen in love with drinks like coffee and tea.
However, he still prefers coffee to black tea.
"The battle time in Nancheng District is too short, I heard the movement, but the Mengbeast was too far away and didn't arrive in time!"
Thinking that the emperor was asking why the beast didn't help, he explained that the previous rebel imperial envoy was near the city gate, and the beast happened to be patrolling nearby, but last night, the Lombatini troupe chose a place closer to the square deep in the city, and the nearby patrol guards arrived first.
"It's not the beast's fault, it's that the scout needs to assist Gozqi in searching for the rebels, and I have a question for you."
"Questions?"
Of course, the scout's thing is okay, he made such a weapon to serve the emperor, but to the surprise of Dr. Fashion, the emperor came running to ask himself a question?
"Yes, Doctor, do you know what kind of world is above the sky?" Heaton asked.
"Above the sky? Paradise? β
Fashion was stunned for a while, and he was a little unsure, he really didn't seem to have thought about it.
"Myth!"
"No, Your Majesty, I can't be sure."
Fashionable and rigorous scientific spirit, obviously, this answer does not convince itself.
"So, Doctor, can you make something that can go out into the sky, like a scout?"
"Drones can't fly that far...," the fashion doctor frowned, his interest in Heaton's question grew, and he began to think about the possibility of flying in the sky with his hands in his hands.
"But before that, doctor, send out the scouts."
Seeing that this topic could not be immediately concluded, Heaton had to drag his fashionable attention back to the Scouts, and the important thing at the moment was not to explore the truth of the world, but to investigate the rebels.
According to Gozzi, the Lombardini Circus seems to have dispersed and hidden in different urban districts.
In fact, even so, the Guards are not without a way to find them, but there is an important point.
Time!
Heaton needs to find out the hidden dangers in the imperial capital before the rebels invade White Horse Mountain, otherwise there will be even more trouble.
And from the time and distance, it is speculated that the bandits of White Horse Mountain are in front of them!
"No problem, Your Majesty!"
β¦β¦
West Side.
This is the second time Lan and Leonai have seen each other.
But Leonay in front of him can't be said to be good.
One arm was completely severed and then sewn up by doctors, leaving his whole body wrapped in bandages.
"Aha, it's okay, it's fine tomorrow, you don't have to worry!"
Leona smiled heartlessly, but she was telling the truth.
As long as it is not a fatal injury, the powerful self-healing ability of the Lion King Belt can restore the injury.
Even if it is a severed limb, it can heal slowly when put together, and there are no sequelae.
"I didn't expect you to be the emperor's envoy, but I didn't see it before."
"I just went to the stall to buy something, and I bought the emperor's tool, and I didn't expect it."
Leonay touched the back of his bandaged head with his other, uninjured hand, and smiled awkwardly.
Now they are in the infirmary of the security department, Leonay was so badly injured last night that he lost too much blood and fell into a coma, and he didn't wake up until this morning.
Now Lan is here to confirm the details of Leonay's encounter with the rebels last night, but at the moment, there is still one person who has not arrived.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Suddenly, there was a low knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
The door to the ward was not locked, and people outside pushed the door in.
"Governor Lan!"
Gozzi greeted Lan first.
In terms of status, it is true that the interior minister is higher than Gozzi, who has no official position.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Before Lan could speak, he was interrupted by Leonay, who suddenly screamed.
"Uncle, I remember you! You were that night..."
Leonay's voice grew quieter, and he was even a little weak.
"You'reβ" Gozzi looked at the bandaged patient in front of him, a little surprised, why would anyone recognize him.
This body is really hard to recognize.
"Ahaha, I recognized the wrong person, my brain!"
Leonay suddenly laughed awkwardly, she couldn't say that she wanted to blackmail them from Gozzi and then was scared away, it was too embarrassing, not to mention......
At the moment, he is still in the garrison department, even if he is caught, oh no, he killed a rebel and captured an imperial tool, but he has lived for so many years, and he can't erase what he has done to stealthily abduct and abduct, and these are enough for him to sit in prison for many years.
"Oh, you're here to ask about last night."
Leonay said.
"Well, let's talk about last night."
Gozzi is not a person who asks questions in person, although he has doubts in his heart, he will write them down, and then go back and let his men investigate.
"I was drinking in the tavern last night, and as soon as I went out, I saw a group of guards patrolling, and they reminded me not to wander outside..."
Leonay began to tell about what he had seen last night and how he had fought with him.
Even if he drank alcohol, Leonay remembered everything that happened last night very clearly, he was unusually angry last night, and the presence of the emperor made the infestation of alcohol swept away in an instant.
Leonai spoke in great detail, from the emperor's ability, to the conversation, to the fact that he finally won the battle at the cost of one arm.
"Has the other party's identity been confirmed?"
Goz Qi asked Lan this sentence, and the reason why he asked Leonai first was just to restore the situation at that time and deduce the rebels' intentions.
"It's confirmed, Hill, female, from the imperial capital, lives in Xicheng Chengxia Town, has a withdrawn personality, because he has no special skills and can't do anything well, so he is often ridiculed, he killed someone to save his best friend, and then killed his fellow deceased who came to take revenge, but they were all judged to be legitimate defense, but because of his repeated murderous behavior, the alienation of the people around him has been caused, but it doesn't seem to have an impact on his life."
Castle Town, Nishihiro is not only a slum, but also an area where ordinary people live, and Castle Town is such a place.
Since the deceased was found last night, Lan has ordered his men to investigate, and Hill's information has already been delivered.
"Okay, got it. Lan Nei Governor, there is one more thing, the Guards sent news that the Garrison Department team going to Nancheng District has been determined to be completely destroyed. β
Gozzi said without emotion, such a thing could not make any waves in his heart.
Danlan's movements paused slightly, but then he came back to his senses and nodded.
"Lombatini Circus?"
"Yes, the hidden rebels, because the dead have all turned into a dried corpse, and there is only one murderer, it can be determined that the other party has at least one imperial envoy."
The matter of the Lombatini Circus was taken over by the Guards, and after a night of firefighting and searching, the news first reached Gozzi and did not reach the security department.
"Your Majesty is still waiting for me, so I'll go first."
There was nothing important in the garrison department, and Gozzi offered to take his leave.
"You've worked hard."
The conversation between the two did not deliberately hide Leonay, and Leonay was also very honest, and his eyes were dripping and spinning outside, as if he was listening to something terrible.
In fact, the reason why Gozqi came to the garrison in person was to take a look at this wild imperial envoy, such a person, since he leaked out in front of him, he couldn't escape.
At the same time, with Hill's intelligence, there is a direction of investigation.
Whether it was how the rebels discovered Hill, and then from what channel they developed a reclusive Imperial Turquoise who rarely communicated with people into a rebel, or how the Emperor Hill obtained it, how the rebels sent such a large piece of Imperial Tools to Hill, with a direction, things would be much easier.
The security hall and the research institute are very close, from the morning into the palace and then out of the city to the research institute and then go out to arrange tasks, and finally on the way back to the research institute, by the way to the security office to inform Lan, since last night has been busy feet do not touch the ground, at this moment there is a little miss Nahaxiu by his side.
It's good that Gai Yin is here.
"You have a good rest, I'll go get busy first."
In the hospital room, Lan said to Leonay that he had just heard about the Lombatini Circus, which made his heart a little heavy.
"Hmm!"
Leonay is rarely serious, she is not a fool, and she will not laugh heartlessly as usual at this time.
And Lan had already pushed the door and walked out of the ward.
In fact, according to his character, it should not be so.
But the matter of the Security Department is that he personally asked Heaton to take over.
It is indeed useless to do such a thing as an interior officer, but at the moment, the leaderless security department really needs such a person to perform its proper function.
He tasked Seleuc with investigating the Lombardini Theatre and finally approved the report of leading the company to the southern part of the city.
This is his dereliction of duty!
What if you don't find out about Lombatini?
Lan thought about this possibility.
That's only going to get worse!
They will attack the Guards while they are defending themselves against foreign enemies, which will be even more devastating to the Imperial Capital!
Damn it!
Lan clenched his hands, the feeling was exactly the same as back then.
It's all the same, I have done nothing, and even the enemy I have in my heart and soul has not been found yet.
Outside Nancheng District, Fisheye Lake.
Doteya was out of town.
"Aha, wonderful, wonderful!"
By the lake, Doteya sat on the ground, with a glass jar filled with eyeballs filled with unknown creatures.
The bodies of Toru and Seleu were side by side, and on the other side were a hill of dangerous corpses.
She held a strangely shaped dagger in her hand, and in front of her was the unconscious Xiao Ke, who was surrounded by all kinds of bottles and cans, which contained all kinds of unknown liquids.
"Poof!"
The dagger pierced directly through Xiao Ke, and then began to dissect Xiao Ke in the pet state.
"Found it!"
Doteya looked overjoyed, put her hand into Xiao Ke's body, and took out a spherical core.
The heart of the bio-type Imperial Tool!
"Let me see the alchemy technique of a thousand years ago!"
Doteya smiled maniacally, holding the core to the sun in the sky, and took a closer look.
"Sure enough, no wonder you can protect your master by swallowing people into your body, space technology, space technology that has been lost!"
Doteya pulled out a notebook from her pink pouch, applied a bottle of clear liquid to the creature core, and began to write and draw on the notebook.
"But I don't need this space technology, remove it!"
Muttered to herself as she copied Doteya.
"Devouring, tenacity, berserk technology can stay, gigantic..."
"Perfect, perfect."
On the other side, Xiao Ke's body, which had been stripped of its core, began to beat.
"Oops!"
When Doteya heard the movement, she didn't panic, quickly packed up her things, and then quickly retreated.
I saw that Xiao Ke's flesh and blood began to beat violently, and swelled, becoming bigger and bigger.
"Is this the form without the core binding?"
Dotya stared at Xiao Ke's body, then walked over to Toru and cut off his head with a knife.
Suddenly, a stream of white souls floated up from Toru's corpse, but it was instantly bottled in a glass bottle by Doteya.
"Okay, it's up to me next, but unfortunately, there is still no progress in the longevity technique."
......
Institute.
The sun had gone down and the sky was getting dark.
Heaton didn't sit idle for a day, and fashionably followed his advice to design devices that could communicate remotely, as well as flying devices.
And Heaton picked a comfortable place, drinking coffee and reading a book.
Then deal with the intelligence sent by Gozzi.
"This is..."
Heaton looked at the information that Gozzi had just sent in his hand, and his brow furrowed slightly.
The Imperial garrison of the Jifonora Tree Sea is no longer in contact!
The rebels are proceeding according to their own conjectured plan, but I'm afraid...
Tomorrow, the rebels of White Horse Mountain will arrive in the imperial capital!
