Chapter 132: Fawkes's panic

The news of Farah entering the palace and announcing the end of the audit soon spread in Lugoin, and most of the common people and ordinary professionals were not affected by the incident, but the ground rats who had been retracted into their holes because of the censorship were re-excited.

The power of the Demon Fortress Council is too strong, and none of these guys dare to show their heads during the audit, for fear of being caught.

But now, now that the review has ended, it means that the council has temporarily withdrawn their attention, and those hidden "creatures" naturally have to celebrate.

In the seaside cabin in the harbor area, Foxhead Fox returned to his desk in a wheelchair.

At this moment, there were three guys in different clothes standing in front of him.

All three of them are spy leaders assigned by the Popular Protective Front in certain important positions, and they have all been "frozen" because of the parliament's review actions.

Now, with the end of the review, they are naturally "unfrozen".

After the "thaw", their first priority, of course, is to come and report on their activities during this period and report some information that has been discovered before.

One of them, a handsome middle-aged man in an aristocratic silk robe standing on the far right, spoke first.

"Good afternoon, my lord, after resuming his activities, our spy has found some clues about the target person in Uptown, who is said to have returned to Lugoin this morning by using the town teleportation scroll, but as soon as he appeared, he was picked up by someone arranged by the Mage Society, so we still can't know the reason for his return.

Excuse me, are we allowed to arrange for people to have access to the target? ”

"No need for the time being, for that one, you only need to follow my orders, just observe secretly, remember not to disturb him, let alone have any conflicts with him, understand?"

Fawkes lowered his head slightly, with a large heavy book spread out in his left hand, and said in a flat tone as he slowly flipped through it.

"I see." The aristocratic man saluted and retreated to the rear.

Seeing that he had finished speaking, a young man in the middle of the middle, dressed in a coarse linen robe with two long red strips of cloth hanging from his sleeves, stepped forward and spoke.

"Good afternoon, my lord, there has been no movement in the business district during this time, but the 'Liji Comptoir' has reopened its doors this morning, and we sent someone to contact us, but we were still refused......

Can I take ......?"

"No! Overrule! Remember, your mission remains the same as before, just watch, no orders from me, no action without permission! ”

Fawkes flipped through the book with his right hand and said with a stern rebuke in his voice.

"Yes......" The young man in Mai retreated a little frustratedly, and the aristocratic man standing beside him chuckled as if he was a little gloating, but he was glared at fiercely by the maid waiting for Fawkes, and he immediately lowered his head and held his breath, not daring to make a mistake.

After the first two had finished their presentations, the last person standing in front of Fawkes slowly stepped forward, he was dressed in a pure black robe, the front of the robe was tightly buttoned, and his face was firmly hidden in the shadow of the hood.

He spoke, and said in a hoarse voice that had clearly changed, "My lord... Good afternoon, you were right, those ground rats are really unconvinced of you... They don't seem to be planning to go according to your plan at all, but are planning some... Actions that are not conducive to you. ”

Hearing this, Fawkes didn't say anything, but the maid beside him squinted her eyes suddenly, and her body exuded a solemn aura, and even the black hair of the shawl swayed gently like catkins.

"Jenna, it's okay, don't worry, I expected ......"

Fawkes grabbed the maid's hand and comforted her softly, instantly calming down the maid who was on the verge of rampage.

"Other than that, are there any other questions?"

He patted the back of the maid's hand lightly, then looked up at the man in black in front of him.

"Another adult... His strength seems to... Something seems wrong? The man in black's hoarse voice was full of doubts and puzzles.

"How?" Fawkes's voice froze, and a cold light seemed to flash in his eyes under the mask.

Since the first two plans could not be started because the preparations were not completed, he could only activate the backup plan that he least wanted to use, but the most unstable factor in this plan was not the unruly "ground rats".

It's the "liaison" he hasn't been able to see through from beginning to end.

"Mistress Mister had been to Fort Secret once a day ago, and I wasn't there at the time, so I didn't get to see it with my own eyes... But through inquiring afterwards, I learned that this lord had a very powerful coercion at the entrance of the hall for unknown reasons... According to some of the guys present at the time, it didn't seem like a level that a sixtieth-level or seventy-level high-level professional could achieve......

Also, Mistress Mister has been avoiding meeting with Mistress Clark......

My subordinates feel that there may be some problems in this......"

The black-robed man said solemnly.

“... I know... By the way, how was that shipment prepared? ”

Fox was silent for a moment, but ultimately didn't say anything about it, instead asking about something else.

"We're almost reaching the limit, and we have enough cargo to meet our plans, so rest assured... But Mistress Mister had to go to the warehouse every few days to check on the goods, and his subordinates thought... Isn't this inspection frequency a bit too high? ”

"Did you go to the warehouse to order the goods after he inspected the goods?"

"I clicked it, but I didn't find any problems......"

“......”

Hearing this reply, Fawkes hung his head in silence and continued to look through the book in his hand.

It was a long time before he raised his head again and said to the man in black.

"Let's continue to keep a close watch on the warehouse... You don't have to worry about the rest for the time being. ”

"Understood." The man in black nodded slightly, then stepped back.

"Okay, if you guys have nothing to do, just retreat, I want to read ......"

"My lord! There is urgent news to report! It's about the business district! ”

Just as Fawkes was about to let the spy leaders leave, a man dressed exactly like the second spy leader barged through the door.

"Bold! Don't know the rules? Get out! The maid Jenna was furious, and a red tongue of fire suddenly rose.

"It's okay Jenna, you say, what's the urgent news?" Fawkes patted the maid's arm lightly to calm her down, and then asked the daredevil, whose face was pale with fright, in a gentle tone.

"Yes, yes, yes... It's the one... It's the necromancer you've told us to keep an eye on......" The agent shook for a long time before he managed to straighten his tongue, he almost thought he was about to die.

It's not like there haven't been guys who have broken in like this before, but those people eventually broke in alive and were swept out as a ball of black charcoal.

After a few times, no one had the audacity to trespass on this wooden house.

"What's wrong with him?" Fawkes asked, a little confused.

"He's just entered the 'Ligi Comptoir' under the leadership of Varref, a big merchant in the business district, and it's been half an hour, and he hasn't come out of it yet......," the agent replied.

"What?!" Fawkes jerked his head up, his left hand shaking, and the book slammed to the ground.

"This ......" The two spy leaders in charge of the Uptown and the Business District glanced at each other, both with obvious surprise in their eyes.

"Dogger! You immediately led the spies in the business district to keep the 'Liji Firm' under close surveillance, and no matter what kind of movement happened there, you had to report it to me as soon as possible, understand? ”

Fawkes turned his head and ordered in a hurried voice to the leader of the business district.

"Yes!" Without hesitation, the leader of the spy named Dogle quickly turned and left the room.

Immediately afterward, Fawkes turned his head and questioned the spy leader in charge of Uptown in an extremely stern tone.

"Faysie, this is your dereliction of duty! I told you to keep an eye on his whereabouts, why did such a big incident happen, but no one has come to report it to you until now?! ”

"I... I'm sorry......" Fei Xi shook his whole body, and the robe and dress on his back were instantly soaked with cold sweat.

"I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins, and you take the spies in Uptown with Dogle to keep an eye on the 'Ligi Firm', but your task is to keep an eye on him when he comes out! But don't reveal your whereabouts!

Send an agent every half an hour to report to me on the tracking operation, and no matter where he goes, I must be the first to know!

Do you understand?! ”

"Ming... I see! Fei Xi swiped his waist straight, and quickly disappeared outside the door.

It wasn't until Fisch's footsteps had left the house that Fawkes let out a long sigh and went limp.

"Your Excellency... He wasn't going for us, was he? Varif... It should have nothing to do with us......"

"Heh... That one's sense of smell is so keen that he was able to identify the spies of various forces on the streets of the outer city before... This is difficult for even high-level professionals to do......

I always have a sense of foreboding... Let's hope it doesn't come true this time......"
