Chapter 67: Project Azeroth Celebrity (20)
At midnight, the Great Bell Tower β
Xia Yu stood on the top of the bell tower, looking at Stormwind City below and sighed, it was really a kind picture.
When he first played in formal clothes, he often flew here on a flying mount to see the scenery.
It's just that he didn't expect to be able to actually stand here one day, and of course, he didn't come up on a flying mount this time.
Ergouzi: "I said, will that guy really come?" It's almost twelve o'clock, so let's go back to bed. β
"Don't worry, he will definitely come, you go to heaven first, and then you will come down to rescue the driver if the fight starts."
The second dog nodded, turned into a big bird, and flew into the sky crookedly.
Xia Yu looked at the big bird under the moonlight, and suddenly his expression moved slightly, "You're here?" β
In the darkness behind him, a figure gradually emerged, it was the leader of MI7, Madias Shore, at this time Shore's face was a little solemn, he originally wanted to approach the other party silently and give the other party a dismount, but Xia Yu said a word, and his heart said that this person is really a master.
The evaluation of the strength between thieves, in the case of not fighting, is undoubtedly the most objective way to judge by the level of stealth ability, at least in terms of stealth ability, the other party is obviously a cut above him.
Shore: "I'm here, let me guess, you're the rose thief who ransacked Uptown?" β
Xia Yu smiled slightly, "You guessed right, but unfortunately there is no reward." He was not surprised to be revealed, if he couldn't even associate this with this, then this Shore was not qualified to be the head of MI7.
What surprised him was the nickname - the Rose Thief? How can I feel like a flower thief?
Shore said in a deep voice, "What the hell are you looking for me for, you have a minute to explain before I start arresting you." β
Xia Yu: "Hehe, I don't think you will arrest me, firstly, I don't think you really care about those corrupt nobles who lost some property at home, and secondly, do you know that I went to steal this gold is just a pretense, my real purpose is to investigate a person's whereabouts." β
Shore's expression became solemn: "So did you find 'that person'?" β
"Half of it was found."
"Half?"
"Yes, only half."
Shore's heart sank instantly, it's over, could it be that the king was beheaded? And send your head to Stormwind for demonstration? The nobles didn't dare to poke this out, so they hid it.
Maybe it was even these nobles who secretly colluded with the Defia Brotherhood and killed the king! He also hid his head.
Shore's associative ability is quite powerful, and he thought of a lot of terrible plot trends at once.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you mean by half?" β
As soon as he saw Xiao Er's reaction, Xia Yu knew that the other party was thinking badly, and he was not in a hurry to explain, "This is a long talk, I'm afraid I can't finish it in a minute, what do you say?" β
Looking at Xia Yu's slightly ridiculous expression, Xiao Er snorted coldly: "Okay, you just take your time, I'll listen." β
"First of all, to answer your first question, yes, that person is Varian Ureon, that is, your majesty the king, and don't worry, he is not dead."
Shore breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head, "Impossible! If the King returns to Stormwind, he won't be able to escape my sight. β
"Hehe, you weren't even aware of the Brotherhood of Difia's ambush, so it's a bit pretentious to say that."
Shore's face was embarrassed for a while, this matter was indeed a stain on his profession.
"That's different, the Defia thieves are secretive, and they have a lot of sympathizers, and their spies are hard to spot."
"No, it's all the same, you can't even notice it, because behind this, it's Countess Catlana Presto who is playing tricks, she is the one who sent the information to the Brotherhood of Defia, and she is the one who secretly planned the kidnapping, and Varian was not captured by the Brotherhood of Defia, but was trapped in the dungeon of the Countess's house."
What! Shore was shocked in his heart, even if he had imagined all kinds of possibilities, he was shocked by this answer.
He had long felt that there was something wrong with that woman, but he didn't expect the other party to dare to do such a thing.
However, after a few moments, he regained his composure, "I have no reason to believe your words, you are accusing a Stormwind nobleman!" Besides, why did Countess Catlana do this? What's in it for her. β
"Nobles of Alterac to be exact, as far as I know, Countess Catlana is from Alterac, right? Moreover, the kingdom of Alterac had already perished during the Orc War, and no one knew whether she, a small nobleman from the poor countryside, was true or not. β
A hint of discoloration flashed in Shore's eyes, "You mean, there is something wrong with the identity of Countess Katlana?" β
"Hehe, it seems that you really don't know anything, Xiao Er, Xiao Er, let me say that you are so good, you don't even notice what is happening around you, is this the famous MI7? If I don't make a move, I'm afraid you'll be toyed with by that black dragon all the time. β
Black Dragon?
Shore felt more and more confused, he had always maintained a calm mind and a quiet city, but in the face of this mysterious man, he could no longer maintain this face.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything, in fact, it's all a huge conspiracy, let me tell you about it from the beginning."
Xia Yu told the plan of Onexia pretending to be Countess Catlana, manipulating the nobles of Stormwind, provoking a dispute with the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, killing the queen, and capturing the king, and preparing to control the entire Stormwind City.
Shore listened in a cold sweat, if this was the case, then the entire Stormwind Cityβno, the entire alliance would be in danger.
It's a pity that he never found the truth, although he felt it and conducted some investigations, but because of his identity and status, he never found the core problem of the matter.
But why did this person know so well? As for the identity of the mysterious person in front of him, Shore became more and more curious.
"Who the hell are you? Who do you represent? β
"You can treat me as mercenaries, my friends and I have been hired by the Azeroth Security Council to intervene in some matters, and we are on your side for now."
Azeroth Security Council? Shore was very unfamiliar with the name, but just by listening to the name, he probably knew what this organization was all about.
I dare to give my organization such a name, I'm afraid it is very promising.
After all, Azeroth is a high-level demon world, and there are countless high-level existences such as various gods, gods and monsters, and God knows that this matter involves those behind-the-scenes bosses.
"Well, I'll just believe you're on our side, but how do you prove what you say, at least in addition to what you say, all indications indicate that the king should be in the hands of the Brotherhood of Difia, who sent a ransom demand and a letter from the king three days ago." β
Xia Yuxin said that it is really not so easy to convince, reality is not a game after all, even if the truth is fully revealed, it is not so easy to make the other party believe in himself, he can understand, if he encounters this kind of thing, I am afraid that he is full of doubts in his heart, and he doesn't know who to believe.
This is indeed his biggest problem, although he knows the truth, he can't prove it.
You can't tell the other party that you played the game in advance and read the comics to learn about the plot.
"So how do you want to prove it?"
"I'm organizing an operation to rescue His Majesty the King recently, and if what you say is true, then the Brotherhood of Defia will be able to find evidence and answers, and it will be better for you and your friends to act with us when the time comes."
"When are you going to act?"
"In the middle of the month, I will arrange an exercise for General Madir to lead an army into Sentinel Ridge to attract the attention of the Brotherhood of Defia, while sending an elite squad to secretly raid the Brotherhood's lair."
Xia Yuxin said that the daylilies were cold at that time.
"Your plan is too slow, your king may be gone at that time, so let's do it to the end, I'll be a good person and go to the Brotherhood of Defia in person, and don't need any suspicious tactics, go directly to take Van Cleef."
Shore was a little incredulous, "Van Cleef is not an easy person to deal with, the Brotherhood of Defia is powerful, and the Wild West is full of their people.
"It's none of your business, I'll take care of it anyway, are you going to go with us to Van Cleef and ask for clarification?"
Xia Yu is going to form a stealth team to kill Van Cleef, and by the way, he will be famous, anyway, it is just a small book, and he should be able to do it one day. If Shore is willing to join, he will undoubtedly be able to add a strong teammate.
Shore shook his head, "I'm afraid not, MI7 can't do without me, and if I leave, the countess will be suspicious." β
Although he believed six or seven points in his heart what the mysterious person in front of him said, he didn't dare to pin all his hopes on the other party, what if it was a trap.
After a moment's thought, he said, "I'll arrange for an elite agent to assist you, and she'll bring me everything you've seen, hoping you'll keep her safe in the meantime." β
Xia Yuxin said that this Xiao Er is really a chicken thief, and he sent a pawn to be a humanoid camera, and there would be no loss if he hung up, but it was okay, someone helped deliver the information, and it was always more convincing than the spoilers of his empty white teeth.
"Then it's settled, we'll leave tomorrow morning, and we'll see you at the gates of Stormwind then."
