On the Seven Towers

Ackley picked up the photo. He was now familiar with these magical little things of the Chinese, and he was no longer surprised at the beginning.

This stack of photos is of a young dead soldier. He is about twenty-five or six years old and should be a native of the kingdom.

There were wounds on his arms and chest, but they were not serious, but his throat was cut open by a knife. It can be seen from other photos that the place where he died was the woods outside the recruit training camp in Hebend New City. Ackley observed the spot where he died. He found that the location where he met the black-clothed archer in the illusion was almost exactly the same.

It's just that Rodman's strength is obviously not as good as him, or his luck is not as good as his. He should have had a conflict with the black-clothed archer, but this time the black-clothed archer did not come alone. Two enemies attacked him together, one with a sword and the other with a knife. He was besieged by the two. , and was finally killed by a single blow from the swordsman.

"That's him. Judging from the angle and position of his wounds, the person who killed him should be the black-clothed archer who was killed by me in the dream." After looking at the photos from various angles, Ackley came to the conclusion He said, "I still remember the fighting movements of the black-clothed archer. If he was killed, it would be from this angle. These people seem to be very persistent in the intelligence here."

"You're right. About two weeks after Rodman's death, another soldier named Thomas disappeared during an armed cross-country tour. At that time, the team was widely spread out and the terrain was complicated. Other soldiers running in front and behind him disappeared. No one noticed that he was missing. After a long search, the guards and our intelligence department found his body in a mountain pass." Li Ze took out another document bag, which contained a photo of another soldier's body. The place where he died was a deep mountain forest. He was tied up and stabbed dozens of times on his body. Most of the stab wounds were not in vital parts. Only the last fatal wound was cut on his throat. It was obvious that he had been tortured, but in the end his captors did not let him go.

Li Zedao: "From the analysis of the footprints left and the knife wounds on the body, we believe that this kidnapping and Rodman's previous death were carried out by the same two people. The two cases are directly related. The enemy did not Rodman got the information, so they looked for a second target. Now it seems that the second target is not very successful, so they are thinking of a third method, and you should be the person they are considering. ”

"But I'm just an engineer, so I don't have much value, right?" Ackley said.

"No, you underestimate your own value too much. You are a very suitable candidate." Luo Ling analyzed: "First of all, your family has a grudge against us. Speaking of which, China Tower has a grudge against you for killing your father. , you have the hatred of killing your brother, and you yourself have been imprisoned in our prison. They must believe that you are instinctively disgusted with our rule and will secretly want to find opportunities to retaliate against us.

Secondly, you have received a good military education in this era, and have enough analytical skills to judge the value of weapons and magic, and provide them with the most useful intelligence. This is something that many ordinary soldiers cannot yet do.

Finally, you have a brother out there through whom they can control you. I believe that Green Forest City is not strict about monitoring and protecting your brother now, because the Duke does not need him to recover the land for the time being. This allowed the men in black to hijack him without much effort.

All these conditions should be seen by the people in black. They have grudges, abilities, and handles, so you become a very good choice. "

Ackley was stunned and realized that Luo Ling's analysis really made sense. From this point of view, he is indeed a good prey. As long as these guys insist on stealing Chinese information, he will easily get into their sights.

He said with some regret: "It's a pity that we didn't pursue it in the fantasy world to find out who these people are. Otherwise, we would have a better direction now."

"There are clues that these people may come from the shadow group of the Natural Temple." Li Ze said.

"It's actually them... But having said that, the things in the Tower of China are indeed enough to attract the prying eyes of any force." Ackley thought for a while and said, "As far as I know, the shadow group of the Royal Capital will not participate in this area. Intelligence work. The most likely one is the Southwest Branch of the Shadow Group, but it may not be the branch itself that instigated them to do this. It may have a much bigger background."

"You mean the headquarters of the Nature Temple?" Li Zedao.

"Yes, otherwise it's hard for me to imagine that a branch would be so interested in stealing your technology." Ackley's words made Li Ze think.

Luo Ling said: "It's just speculation now, you need to verify it yourself."

"I understand." Ackley nodded, "Sir Luo Ling, how do you want me to act?"

"I can provide you with help, but in addition to saving your brother, you also need to help me complete two tasks: The first task is to follow the clues, confirm the origins of the men in black, and then knock off their outstretched hands. , let them know not to mess with the Chinese. I don't want such a group of cruel spies hanging around us every day. The second task is to understand the trends in Green Forest City and prepare for our siege in two weeks. It would be better if it can cause them trouble."

"Okay, I will do it. Who will you ask to temporarily assist me?" Ackley asked.

"You will be accompanied by Anar and Glade in the operation of sneaking into Green Forest City to find Julio. I will lead a larger team to support you. As long as the whereabouts of the man in black are found, we will participate in the encirclement and suppression. After analysis, we believe that before we start the operation to attack the Duke of Green Forest City, we should try to eliminate this variable." Luo Ling emphasized, "But our time is limited. Even if this operation is not successful, we must withdraw to Alvita within fifteen days to support the subsequent offensive operations."

"I know. But there is one thing I have never understood." Ackley looked at Luo Ling and asked hesitantly, "Why do you care about me so much? Whether it is background or strength, I am not the best. It is even difficult to say that I can get your trust."

Luo Ling smiled and said, "Some of us can see things that others cannot see, maybe in the past, maybe in the future. You have not proved yourself yet, but in the scenes seen by some people, you have proved something. Believe in your own value, do your own thing well, we will not let you down."
