Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

"You kept looking around during breakfast today. Your eyes were completely different from those of the tourists who usually visit. You should be collecting information. This is a habit that only spies have."

"So, Sir Seamus, is that why you called me here just to say that?"

"of course not!"

Williams handed over the notebook in his hand. On the surface, it looked like it was his own manuscript, but Hei knew it would definitely not be that simple.

"The conflict between the Xiaoqiu County garrison and the Tara people is deepening. Recently, there have been news of the death of the garrison. The garrison here has targeted the workers in Tara, believing that they cooperated with the ghost army to attack the Victorian soldiers. Several Tara workers were arrested."

"I am also from Tara myself, and I have also seen the workers here. They are all a group of hardworking and simple people. There must be some misunderstanding."

After taking the notebook, Hei just flipped through it and found that there were so many densely packed papers in the middle where the bookmark was sandwiched.

"Although I don't know why the agents of Scotland Yard appear here, I hope you can clear up their grievances, please."

"On behalf of Scotland Yard, I would like to thank you for the leads but I cannot make any promises."

"That's enough, thank you very much."

Chapter 1576 The gradually clear fog

The conversation with Williams was exceptionally smooth. He completely misunderstood Black's identity, and thanks to Herman's education methods, this "wonderful" misunderstanding was facilitated.

Hei had obtained a lot of information from Williams' words, but compared with what he had in his notes, the information was a drop in the bucket.

This famous poet in the Tara region does have a keen observation ability. This ability can be used to collect materials, observe different people, and naturally also be used for investigation.

He was keenly aware of the unusualness of Xiaoqiu County recently, and started to investigate. It seems that even the materials he collected during this time were related to this.

Perhaps the most eye-catching one is the Ghost Troop. Williams did not describe this troop in detail in his notes, probably because he thought this troop was too famous for Scotland Yard's spies to know about it.

But Hei is really a fake, and he doesn't know the news at all, so now he can only speculate from his description.

There are so few pieces of information that can be known so far. The ghost army is not an urban legend, they are real things.

Now the Victoria Garrison in Hill County has been attacked by ghost troops, but the attacks are all lone patrols or scouts, so that no one has ever seen the real body of ghost troops, and the name of ghosts is also Here it comes.

They are invisible but deadly enough, like ghosts in folk tales.

It is not that the Victorian soldiers in Hills County did not investigate the surrounding location where the victim was attacked, but the results of the investigation were very unsatisfactory.

There are no witnesses, and no clues can be found, and everything has been cleaned up.

It was as if a soldier who was dedicated to his duties had his throat cut by a knife that fell from the sky while walking on the road.

The commanders of the Victoria Garrison in Hill County naturally would not believe the ghosts about ghost attacks, and the supreme commander, Colonel Hamilton, was furious and wanted to find the attacker.

But it was all in vain, they found nothing.

But Colonel Hamilton claimed that they had found the reason why the ghosts disappeared, because the Tara people were behind them to assist them, just to kill the heroic Victorian soldiers.

Under the command of Colonel Hamilton, they found the Tara who had assisted the ghost force and captured him back to the barracks, and no one was able to come out alive.

There are various reasons for the death. Some say that the prisoner chose to attack the soldiers and escaped but was shot dead, and some say that the prisoner strictly kept the secret and chose to commit suicide.

In his notes, Williams suspects that the local garrison is planning to execute these Tara people, and emphasizes that this is absolutely inconsistent with the system, and the local garrison has no right to do so, even if these people are really ghost troops Facilitators should also conduct a fair trial instead of abusing lynching like this.

In this notebook, Williams wrote down each person and their family background. All the victims were Tara people, and none of them were Victorian citizens.

Ah, of course the Tara people are also Victorian citizens in name, but obviously that only exists in name, and the gap between the two sides is particularly obvious.

For example, for the same job, Tara workers have 50% more work than other ethnic groups, but their income is only half.

The above example is just one of the serious injustices that permeate this city.

According to Williams' records, these people who died because of lynching had almost nothing in common except that they were Tara people.

One of the three victims was an ordinary worker, one was a porter, and the third was a shop assistant.

Williams believes that these people have nothing to do with the ghost army. After all, even the Victoria Garrison did not officially announce their crimes, but used a very poor method to silence them.

As for the reason why they were arrested?Simply because their workplace happened to be right next to the dead Victorian soldiers.

The more he read this note, the more Kuro frowned.

She does not have any political sense, but she can also feel something is wrong with the behavior of the Victorian garrison in Hills County and Colonel Hamilton.

This approach is too rough, so rough that it doesn't look like an investigation, but a demonstration.

The target of the demonstration is the Tara people, but why can Colonel Hamilton be sure that the deaths of his subordinates were done by the Tara people?

Is it based on hard evidence, or is it based on prejudice?

Hei couldn't be sure, she wasn't good at speculating on these things, if she were to analyze the reason why Colonel Hamilton did what he did, it would be better to ask her to kill this Victorian soldier with her own crossbow.

Williams describes the Tara victims and the event far more than he has previously described about the Ghost Force.

After all, his real purpose was to avenge the Tara people, and even accusing Colonel Hamilton was incidental.

It seems that the poet has not lost hope in the Victorian government. He only thinks what Colonel Hamilton has done alone, and he is counting on a secret agent from Londinium to send the real situation of Hill County to the high-ranking officials of the kingdom.

Hei had no intention of commenting on Williams' thoughts, she just sent the summarized news back to Edelweiss.

~

"I always feel that this guy Hamilton is doing it on purpose. His demonstration is meaningless at all. It will only push the vacillating Tara people firmly to the other side."

The idle wolf suddenly thought of the 14-year war that took place in the motherland. At that time, the enemy did similar things to unite most people in the motherland.

"Do you think this person is stupid or bad?"

"Both have meow, don't worry about that matter, now some information can be connected."

When idle wolf approached Yeyan, he saw the formula drawn by the spy chief in his notes.

Ghost troops = them, and [DUBLINN] is written next to them.

"Now it can be clearly said that the film man, that is, Robert said they are the ghost army in the mouth of the Victoria Garrison, but I can't fully confirm whether they have anything to do with Dublin."

"I think I can add a suspicion, they are too similar, unless this small hill county gives me a few more troops, then this can be a table of mahjong, it will be lively Too much."

"Well, this time you are right."

Nodding, Yeyan connected the ghost army with [DUBLINN], using an equal sign.

The information gathered by Ethan, Miss Orange Cat, and Hei is making the situation in Xiaoqiu County more and more clear, so it's time for Kingslayer to play.

Chapter 1577 Smuggling Merchant

It should be said that the highest status among the four teams sent by the CIA must be the Chief of the Operations Section, the Kingslayer. Although Ethan is also the Chief of the Section, Ethan is somewhat misnamed.

From the agents who can command, to the manpower that can be mobilized.

Even though Kingslayer is also just a small team, she can still mobilize a lot of power. For example, now, a special agent team has completed its mission in Xiaoqiu County according to Kingslayer's instructions, and it is for Kingslayer. The early preparations for the entry of the hunter team have been made.

Their return also means that the waiting time for the Kingslayer has come. They have been waiting on the Lexington for too long, and they are all a bit suffocated.

The returned secret service captain handed over a small piece of paper to the kingslayer, here is the result of their labor these days, this is a list of goods.

This list is full of goods that are not common in the Hills, not even in Victoria.

As small as ham, chocolate and wine, as large as jewelry and antiques, and even medicines.

The source of this list of goods is naturally Xiaoqiu County. As for the buyers who need these goods, they are the local nobles of Xiaoqiu County.

Although this city does not belong to any Victorian nobles, it does not mean that there are no nobles in this city, but these nobles are not capable of controlling the entire city.

Just like the friend of the poet Williams, the friend who invited him to the hill was a baron, but this kind of noble in the backcountry really has no status.

Since you can't get the status, you can only enjoy it.

But high tariffs have become a new problem. Who will make these nobles cash-strapped, so smuggling has become a good method.

Obviously, the kingslayer also played the role of a smuggler this time, and her goods were actually spoils obtained from the Duke of Volynnia who had already gone to hell.

The grand duke of Usas is no different from these small nobles in Xiaoqiu County. I am afraid that these small nobles have never seen the things he uses in his life, and they have become commodities for this transaction.

According to the list of goods, the logistics staff quickly stacked them in the compartment of the truck, and a convoy of three such trucks was waiting for the team leader to arrive.

For the event, the Kingslayer also changed clothes for herself, this time playing the role of a smuggler from Syracuse, a country almost controlled by the Mafia.

Characters like smugglers usually have a "family" background, and Kingslayer is no stranger to these families.

As Ruper, she is naturally more convenient to play such a role, even if she is a native Ursa, it doesn't matter, although her current leader is a past family patriarch.

With her guidance, it is not difficult to play such a role well. The first thing is to prepare a suit and sunglasses. In Syracuse, as long as you are a family member, whether you are a woman or a man, you usually dress like this.

Ordinary family members are not qualified to dress up in a unique way. Only those with a certain status can do that. Obviously, smugglers do not have such a status.

For the rest, it is enough to imitate the tone in place. Xiaoqiu County is located in the west of Victoria, and Syracuse is in the east of Victoria, and there is even a Lytania across.

The authentic Syracuse smugglers would not come to a place like Xiaoqiu County. These self-proclaimed superior bumpkins could not tell the real kingslayer from the fake one.

What the agents brought back to Kingslayer was a letter of recommendation and the accompanying token. The so-called letter of recommendation was also a map with a route marked.

The kingslayer who advanced along this route hardly encountered any trouble. Even if there were soldiers at Victoria's outpost, these Victorian soldiers did not stop the kingslayer after showing the token.

However, Kingslayer could vaguely feel something called hostility in the eyes of these soldiers.

It seems that they are dissatisfied with such a direct release, but they don't know who the hostility is aimed at, it may be the kingslayer, or it may be the noble buyer.

Most of Ursus's army group is in the hands of the nobles, and the nobles are the masters of the army.But Victoria's soldiers don't necessarily have to show nobility.

What made the kingslayer come here was not relying on face, it was relying on all the money. If there is no management, how can it be so smooth.

How long can the shame of these Victorian soldiers last while taking money and despising their benefactors? This is where the erosion must have started.

Since it is smuggling, there is also a certain amount of attention to the place where the vehicle stops, but then there is no need for the kingslayer to worry about it.

Smuggling is rampant throughout Victoria, and there are countless "ports" used for smuggling.

Maintenance platforms, sewer exits, and renovated residential areas, there are too many places that can be turned into such smuggling ports.

The kingslayer had just arrived, and the buyer's connector came up by himself. The members of the Syracuse family played by the kingslayer are too temperamental, and they don't need any self-introduction. Just standing there can make a little A discerning person sees who she is.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Bucciarati?"

Slightly frowning, the Kingslayer is still not used to such a name, but idle wolf said that it is very suitable for the lives of family members, she has no reason to deceive herself, so the Kingslayer can only accept it.

But her actions like this are more like family members.

"Yes, I am."

"Is there any trouble along the way? The baron is still a little worried that those soldiers will change their minds temporarily."
