Chapter 960: Lost and Found
"What are you thinking?" the girl put her face in front of Alfie's eyes, carefully observing his expression, which was so unpredictable that she couldn't guess what was going on in Alfie's mind with her experience.
"Ahh As the girl approached, the feeling of transparency disappeared, and Alfie couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was indeed the result of the visual impact that had given him that illusion.
"You should be glad I lifted the shackles of your mind. Otherwise, let me know the dirty thoughts in your head, and I'm afraid I can't help but give you a lesson that I will never forget. The girl glanced at Alfie coldly, the cold chill that pierced into the bones made Alfie's heart chill, and the girl at this time was like a different person, and her whole body exuded a cold aura that no one could enter.
"You're thinking too much. How could I have any crooked thoughts about a young girl like you?" Alfie hurriedly argued, but unexpectedly, she inadvertently offended the girl even more.
"I hope you're the same on the outside. The girl gave Alfie a deep look and said meaningfully.
Alfie was stared at by the girl's sharp eyes, he didn't do anything, he didn't think about anything, why did he make it seem like heinous now.
"I'll send you a signal in a moment, and then you'll just be responsible for bringing in the soul power and infusing it into the Blood Flame Rose. - Get ready to refill the potion, I'm sure you'll be able to use it. Seeing that it was almost midnight, the girl did not hold on to Alfie, but faded the blood flame rose from her hand and stuffed it into Alfie's hand and commanded.
Alfie was stunned, he didn't expect the Blood Flame Rose to return to his hand. After seeing the girl and Willy making a bet for the Blood Rose in the Blood Rose, Alfie guessed that there must be some secret in the Blood Rose that he didn't know.
"Teacher, are you so relieved to hand over the Blood Flame Rose to me again?" Alfie said tentatively.
"Hehe, if you have a way to roll up the Blood Flame Rose and run away, that's your ability. The girl said disapprerovingly. As soon as Alfie heard this, she understood that the girl must have arranged something.
"Boy, take a good look. A moment is guaranteed to blow your mind. The girl snapped her fingers as she spoke, and after a fluctuation of magic, many figures appeared in the thick fog.
......
The northeast corner of the imperial capital, the Imperial Military Headquarters, the Staff Office.
The staff room is located in the center of the military headquarters, a nondescript two-story attic next to the marshal's chamber. Those who are familiar with the military headquarters of the imperial capital know that this building, which does not seem to be heavily guarded, is actually the core of the entire military headquarters.
Since the cataclysm, Marshal Sebastian has been absent from the imperial capital for a long time, and almost all decisions in the army are made by the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, Marquis Douglas, and the staff room is where Marquis Douglas usually works.
Marquis Douglas is the chief of staff of the Imperial Army, and his status is still above the commanders of the four major imperial armies, and he is the second person in the imperial military. When Marshal Sebastian was absent from the imperial capital for a long time, Marquis Douglas was the real spokesman of the military in the imperial capital.
The lights in the staff room are always on all night. During the days when Imperial Marshal Sebastian was not in the imperial capital, it was manned at all times to avoid missing major military information.
A sharp knock on the door broke the silence of the night. The lights in the staff room flickered, and a deep voice shouted, "What's the matter?"
"Report, Marshal Sebastin's reply has arrived. The guard who knocked on the door reported loudly. The guard was a little surprised, he didn't expect it to be Marquis Douglas.
According to common sense, it should never be the Marquis himself who was on duty in the staff room at this time, and in the memory of the guards, only on the eve of a major event, the Marquis would personally sit here.
The guards who summoned him obviously did not expect that Marquis Douglas would be on duty in the staff room at this time, so he seemed a little excited, and at the same time a little apprehensive in his heart, and then thought of the inexplicable military order at dusk, and he felt more and more uneasy in his heart.
"Send it in. The Marquis Douglas's calm voice calmed the slightly agitated guard and pushed the door in.
Behind the large main table in the staff room sat a middle-aged man with short silver hair combed meticulously, and his sharp eyes passed through a single pair of eyes, carefully examining the guards in front of him.
The guards were a little uncomfortable stared at by Marquis Douglas's sharp eyes, no wonder it was rumored in the army that except for the four army commanders, no one could say a complete word under the gaze of Marquis Douglas. No one knew what the true strength of Marquis Douglas was, but in the eyes of the imperial capital's army, Marquis Douglas was even more feared than Marshal Sebastian.
"Your name?" asked Marquis Douglas, who seemed a little dissatisfied with the guard's stunned gaze, tapping lightly on the table.
"Sergeant Pat. The guard replied with his chest puffed up.
"Good. Sergeant Pat, can you give me the message from Marshal Sebastian?" the Marquis of Douglas tapped on the table again.
"Ah, here, I'm so sorry!" Pat realized his dereliction of duty, and hurriedly placed a sealed envelope in his hand on the table in front of Marquis Douglas.
Marquis Douglas picked up the envelope with a grim face, carefully examined the magic mark on it, and after making sure that it had not been opened before, he tore open the envelope and pulled out one of the thin letters.
The Marquis's ice-blue eyes quickly swept over the words on the letterhead, and Marshal Sebastian's familiar handwriting leaped onto the page, making his meaning clear in just a few words.
The Marquis folded the letterhead again and placed it on the table, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Sergeant Pat, has the edict from your Majesty spread throughout the army this evening?"
"Report to the Marquis, all the troops in the imperial capital have been instructed that no matter what happens tonight, they only need to stick to the defensive area and not leave the camp without permission. Pat replied in a sonorous voice. Although few people understood the meaning of this inexplicable order, the Imperial Army was trained by Marshal Sebastin, and the Imperial Army still maintained its true military colors, and everything was based on military orders as the first priority, so there was no objection to this except for execution.
"Good. A cold light flashed on Marquis Douglas's monolithic eyes, and he waved his hand: "You can step back and remember tonight's military order." ”
After Pat saluted and left, Marquis Douglas stood up from behind the long table, opened the heavy curtain and looked northwest, and whispered softly: "Sebastian, I have received your message, and I will arrange it as soon as possible, but His Majesty the Emperor has already begun to act, I don't know if you will have time to ...... after you rush back."
