Chapter 58: Suspension of Action and Mysterious Attack
Zhang Tianmiao frowned and walked through the corridor, and his deputy chased him from behind. "Captain, the situation is basically understood. Sir Argyle should have been correct. The person who took the target was indeed Brian Karanhill Princess Miaoxing."
While following the former, he continued: "The goal is to enter the Mainland League by chance. It seems that Elpahin's staff made his number card wrong. The other party is an intern alchemist from Kapka, which is basically the same as what we know."
Zhang Tianmiao stopped, put his hand in his pocket, groped and took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, lit the matches and reflected his handsome and clean face, narrowed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath.
He spit out the smoke and turned around and said, "So we lost our target again."
The deputy couldn't help but screamed injustice when he heard this: "Captain, this is not our fault, right? We were much earlier than the time specified by the order, but what about those guys? A knight order could not even stop a child. Not to mention stopping it, he didn't even delay the time."
Zhang Tianmiao looked at him. "I'm not here to listen to your complaints."
The deputy shrugged, looking like you believe it or not. "In fact, if you don't like to listen, then I can't do anything about it."
"Stop talking, it's useful."
The latter didn't care about this and said, "Okay, our people had asked the dwarves before that they might have brought Evan Quinn to meet another elf hero in Byrne's Battle of Evan Quinn. Captain, you know that the other party is the most outstanding alchemy master of the Evan Quinn's elves. I heard the old dwarf meant that Princess Brian seemed to value that boy very much."
"So what do you think?" Zhang Tianmiao asked back.
"I think the credibility is very high. After all, Princess Brian had no contact with the target before this, so there was no reason for her to suddenly take the target away."
However, Zhang Tianmiao shook his head and replied lightly: "You are wrong."
"I was wrong?"
"I dare to conclude that Brian Karanhill Miaoxing had planned it long ago."
"What?"
"I checked that the princess's itinerary that day was not in mainland China. She changed her decision temporarily and arrived at the stadium almost before the game began. After the game, she directly came to the target without any extra moves, so Sir Argyle was slowing her down, which shows that her purpose was very clear."
"Wait for a moment, I think this is unreasonable. Brian Karanhill Miaoxing is the hero of the Battle of Byrne, the Elf Princess, and a real Aboriginal. She would not have the opportunity to contact the target before this, so how could she know in advance that the target would appear in the Mainland League? "
“That’s the problem.”
Zhang Tianmiao lowered his head, covered his hand in front of him and took a sip. The dark red light spots of cigarette butts were in the clouds and mist.
He let out a long sigh before saying, "As far as I know, before Princess Brian went to Elpahin Arena, he met three groups of people, and went forward in chronological order. They were the staff of the Elpahin Craftsmen Association, Prince Coleman's messenger, and two mysterious people."
"There must be problems among these three groups of people. Among them, the Elpashin Craftsmen Association is the least suspected, Prince Coleman's messenger is second, and the most suspected is undoubtedly the last two mysterious people."
The deputy looked at him in surprise. "Captain, how do you know this?"
Zhang Tianmiao also turned around and looked at his deputy. "Are you stupid? Of course, it was told by the people from the Silver Wind Knights."
"What," the deputy was a little annoyed when he heard this. "Why didn't they tell me?"
Zhang Tianmiao looked at him and replied lightly: "If you don't ask, they will naturally not tell you."
The deputy opened his mouth and suddenly felt that this was reasonable. He was speechless. But how could ordinary people doubt Princess Brian's head, a famous indigenous person, and a newcomer who had just entered this world, and it seemed that there was almost no connection between the two.
He then asked, "What should we do now?"
"You are also a member of the Special Reserve Team and are not a good meal. Then I ask you what you plan to do if it is you?"
"Let's try it with Princess Brian first? I've heard that there are other people around the target, a lion and a Paparal. Such a combination should be quite conspicuous?" the deputy asked tentatively.
Zhang Tianmiao looked at him like a mentally retarded person. "Follow the Elf of Ever Quinn? Do you think you are more powerful than the Dawn Guard?"
The deputy couldn't help but talk. The guard at dawn was the guard of Evan Quinn's elves. The elf had a long life. During the long life cycle, he was taught by the Master of Sword Saint and selected over the years of training. Whether it was loyalty, martial arts or alertness, all of them were the best choice.
In other words, the average level of the Dawn Guard is level 35. In the world of mortals, they are all top experts. If it weren't for too few, this would be the top power in the first world of Aitalia.
It is probably a fantasy to ask them to follow the Dawn Guard. Moreover, as Brian Karanhill and Miaoxing, it is unlikely that the superiors would approve such an action.
He couldn't help but frown with some distress, but suddenly slapped his forehead and said with a light of inspiration: "Are you, the target's formal alchemist assessment is completed here, so he should still report to the Angina Temple."
Zhang Tianmiao shook his head. "Report and mission can be carried out at any time. Judging from Princess Brian's whereabouts, the target may have been alert, and it is unlikely that he will choose to report at this time."
"Damn," the deputy was a little annoyed: "then this is not OK, that is not OK. What do you think of the captain?"
Zhang Tianmiao was about to answer when the communication crystal on his wrist suddenly lit up. He was stunned for a moment, raised his right hand and pressed the crystal with his left hand.
Xingmen Port ‘Ring of Uropolos’
Ambassador Liao was standing by the wide glass window, staring at the new sunrise on the near-Earth orbit. On the huge and dark curved surface of the earth, a golden arc was rising slowly.
Under his gaze, the ocean in the Western Hemisphere was gradually turning from deep black to light blue. The white concumulative clouds on the Atlantic Ocean were like a layer of tulle, and their faint shadows were projected on the blue sea like plexiglass.
The time on the rubidium atomic clock was 17:15 minutes, and the second time beat seventeen times. The sound of communication cutting was heard behind him. Everyone had not closed their eyes for twenty-seven hours, and the ambassador yawned, but they were not allowed to take a break in time.
The sliding door opened again and an officer brought a new brief:
"Latest news, everyone."
Everyone stopped and looked here.
Ambassador Liao had already taken the briefing and glanced at it, a little surprised: "It is said that Princess Brian might have been notified in advance and went to take the young man away?" He couldn't help but look up at the man. "Is this reliable?"
The military officer replied: "Based on the news feedback from the Kaolin Merchant Alliance and the Silver Wind Knights, as well as the analysis of our intelligence department, it is basically consistent."
Ambassador Liao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "I didn't expect that Zhang Tianmiao has two tricks. So is there any further news among the three groups of people he said?"
"The Elpashin Craftsman Association has been ruled out, so there should be no big problem. As for the two characters Brianne Carran Hill Miaoxing and Coleman Fox, both of which are outside our contact range, it is difficult to directly investigate. They can only start from their peripheral relationship network. After all, if it is the former noticed by Coleman Fox, he should have the opportunity to contact the target. This can be investigated from the people around him, but no meaningful clues have been found at the moment."
"As for the last two mysterious people"
"How?" the ambassador asked.
"No clue."
Ambassador Liao frowned when he heard this, but he was helpless. Although Kaolin-Ishurien reached an agreement with them on a strategic level and established a certain diplomatic relationship between the two sides, this country with a strong monarchy and feudal color has always been closed and conservative, and has always distrust and vigilance for outsiders like them.
In foreign affairs, the country pursues the principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences and not interfering in internal affairs. There are many things that they cannot let go of, and often can only take roundabout means. This naturally leads to a reduction in efficiency.
He was silent for a moment before he asked in a low voice: "Is there any possibility that it is 'those people'?"
The visitor shook his head: "This possibility is not ruled out, but the probability is not high. Brian Karanhill Miaoxing is also a hero of the Battle of Byrne, and there is little possibility that she will be with those people."
"So did the staff at Star Harbor over there explain anything?"
"He took 170,000 from that kid one after another, most of which were the last delivery. He didn't tell the truth completely. I feel that there should be some concealment, but it's not very meaningful. From the interrogation, most people will subconsciously avoid some details, and we cannot reproduce every link. As long as we master the evidence of the key link, it is enough to complete the inference."
"One Seventy Thousand, what is the target family environment?"
"The evidence is still being collected on the ground, and it will take time. In addition, there should be no shadow of those people behind that staff member." The military officer stopped and continued: "But the problem now is that there are still no clues to explain the problem of 'spiritual derivation-multiple control'. Where did the goal be to learn this skill?"
Ambassador Liao breathed a sigh of relief.
"It doesn't matter," he said. "The possibility of the 'Eternal Life' must be ruled out first. As for the long scroll of the Abyss Sea is the long scroll of the Abyss Sea, and multiple division controls are multiple division controls. Although there is some connection here, it is not completely consistent."
After solving this, he looked serious. "Everyone, the target has now contacted Brian Karanhill Miaoxing. I suggest that in principle, comrades who have different opinions on the next level?"
He looked at the others, nodded without seeing any objection and continued: "Then, we will submit a new proposal within twelve hours. Before that, all actions will be temporarily suspended before the Stargate Management Department issues a new permission."
Then he patted the table and said:
"Next, let's talk about another thing that happened five hours ago."
In the Elpaxin Craftsman Association, Zhang Tianmiao silently put down his right hand, and the communication crystal on his wrist was gradually dimming and losing its luster. The deputy looked at him and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, Captain, what instructions are there on the Star Gate?"
"Let's abort the current task for the time being."
"What?"
"It's nothing, let everyone gather, we have new work to do soon."
"A new job?"
Zhang Tianmiao looked at his deputy and replied word by word:
"Just five hours ago, Charter City was attacked by unknown forces, and we lost three units there and have not been contacted yet. The headquarters asked us to go there right away to confirm the casualties and losses."
...
Elpashin Old Town, Crown Hotel, is a hotel with a considerable history. It stood here when Elpashin Old Town was not yet the old town, and after that, the owners of the hotel changed hands several times during the decades, and continued to this day.
On the third floor of the hotel, the atmosphere in a room facing the street was a bit dull. It was the time when the lights were first on. The light crystals on the lamp holder emitted a warm light. Through the lampshade, the drawings of large and small on the red pine wood short table not far away were stacked together.
On the side are two camel-down couches, Luo Yu and Parker sit at both ends respectively.
The Paparals were curiously looking at the strange patterns and symbols of all sizes drawn on the drawings, "Is this a heat conductor? This is a balancer? This is a compensator? Ha, I know this, this is a magic storage crystal array!" Not far from the noisy Paparals, the lion man Reed leaned against the wall, holding a pipe in his claws, and swallowing the clouds and fog happily.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Parker before he could finish halfway, the elf girl had reached out to pull the drawings in his hand, glared at him, then took the drawings straight and looked carefully, then raised her head.
Her emerald green eyes looked at the square pulp not far away.
Fang Yu scratched his head awkwardly
As for Silvede and Shesta's master and servant, they were quietly sitting and standing on his side.
Aitela was about to speak, and an exaggerated complaint came from outside the door: "I'm so angry that I'm so angry that he actually said there is no room specifically for cats there. Have you seen it? Jita? He must think that we were having a brain problem."
With such words, the French girl pushed the door angrily and walked in. Behind her was Jita, a short, thin as a piece of paper. The latter held several large books in both hands, almost covering half of her body.
Fang Yu was startled when he saw this and hurriedly walked over to take the book from Ji Ta's hand. The little girl blushed and thanked him breathlessly.
Only then did he see Tianlan's angry face, as if he was suffering a lot of grievance, with anger on his face. He couldn't help but say something strange: "What's wrong, Tianlan, Jita?"
"What's wrong? I'm so angry, Brother Ed," Tianlan replied indignantly: "Do you still remember Mr. Hu Di and his cat, that cat named Miss Spoon? He asked us to go to Elpahin to see him. I went to the hotel with Jita this afternoon, but the annoying boss actually told me confidently that he would never rent the hotel room to a cat unless he was crazy. I saw that he was crazy, what's wrong with renting the hotel room to a respected cat lady? I'm so angry!"
Fang Rong always felt that the direction she was paying attention to was a little bit wrong: "You are not looking for the wrong place, are you?"
"How is it possible? Even if I am wrong, Jita cannot be wrong." Tianlan turned around: "Yes, Jita?"
Jita nodded with a red face.
This was a bit strange. Fang Rong thought that Hu Di would not lie to them on such trivial matters, which would not be of any benefit to him. In fact, even if he did not have a cat named Miss Spoon living in the hotel, so what?
There is no need at all
It was at this time that Tianlan noticed the strange atmosphere in the hotel room. She stopped and looked at the others curiously, swept the stacks of drawings and sheepskin scrolls on the table, and finally fell on Silmide and her maid.
"Sister Silvede, why are you here?" She was stunned for a moment, then looked at the others: "What's wrong?"
