Chapter 250: Infernal Affairs (4)

"Hmm...... I...... I ......" Josha's eyes rolled rapidly. She knew that the opportunity in front of her was quite rare, if she could think of a reasonable excuse, she would be free to come and go here, originally Josa wanted to use the female ** to confuse Ryan, but Faraz was next to her, Josa was not conceited enough to be comparable to Faraz, so she changed her words and said: "When Bart was here, I liked to read the most, but at that time, I ...... We were poor and couldn't afford ......"

At this point, Josa looked with his eyes at the rows of bookshelves that lay around him on the walls, and continued, "It would be great if you could see these beautiful books every day. ”

Ryan smiled slightly, Josha's request is too simple, books are expensive for ordinary people, but Ryan himself is not short of money, he was about to open his mouth to give Josa some books to read, when he heard Farath sitting at the desk next to him speak: "Oh, it turns out that Yosha likes to read, it just so happens that I have one less entourage in my study, why don't you do it, usually just clean up the sanitation here, it should be very easy." And when it's okay, you can just take a look at the books here, these books, I don't usually move much, if you just leave them like this, it's a pity. ”

"Ahh

Faras put down what she was doing and walked over slowly, she smiled at Ryan, who was full of doubts, and said, "I like Sister Josa very much, you have a lot of things to do, and you are just going to talk to Yosa when you are bored." Alright, Josa, go back and talk to Lady Betty, and she'll arrange for you. ”

"Thank you! Thank you!" Josa deliberately pretended to be innocent and left happily.

Ryan waited until Josa left, and looked Farath up and down with a puzzled look, of course he knew very well how important Faraz's study was, and now Farath actually let Josa come and go at will, which was really unreasonable, and Farath smiled casually at Ryan, took out a piece of information and said: " General Jonas fought the front line, in five days, they repelled seven orc attacks, about 40,000 orcs, but the entire Jonas army also lost at least 10,000 people, fortunately the first batch of ballistas had arrived this morning. ”

As soon as he heard Faras talk about business, Ryan didn't bother to ask about Josa's arrangements anymore, he thought about it carefully, and said to Faras: "Well, the follow-up supplies must be delivered in time, in addition, if the new legion is reorganized, you might as well mobilize a part of it to the north, with the Jonas legion as the main force, and then mix with some of these new armies, it should be able to greatly increase their combat effectiveness, and the new recruits will not see blood, how can people rest assured?"

"Yes, yes, this is the rotation to participate in the battle, with the Jonas Legion as the main force, you can achieve the purpose of training troops by the way, and it can also reduce the losses of the Jonas Legion, oh, by the way, Adela has been going south for 2 days, is there any news from your territory?"

"Well, not ......yet," Ryan replied, not thinking about Josa at all.

――――――*――――――*――――――*―――――― Josa hummed a little song softly, while slowly wiping the bookshelf made of mahogany with a rag, the day before yesterday after talking to Ryan, she was successfully transferred to Faras's study to work, and Josa she was also a big step away from her goal of stealing secrets, so that her heart was completely filled with excitement, and she didn't notice Mrs. Betty's eyes full of doubt and pity.

However, when Josa came here, he realized that the so-called study is not to put all the secrets outside and wait for you to find them slowly, in fact, this is the place where Faraz handles affairs, and all the information, as well as the official documents that need to wait for Faraz's disposal, will be sorted out in advance, and then placed on Faraz's desk in different categories, and after Faraz makes instructions, someone will pass on and implement them according to Faraz's instructions.

And every time Faras came to the study, Josa would withdraw and avoid it, not as she imagined, either to sit and eavesdrop, or to wait for the study to be empty and dig out the most important one in a mess of information. Even every time Josa entered the study to do something, Faraz's desk was almost clean, with only a few unimportant documents, and even Josa knew that this kind of thing was of no value at all.

"I can't see those secrets yet, but as long as I stay here, I'll always wait for that great opportunity. Josa has always been so determined to cheer herself up in her heart, so she is in a relaxed mood now, with a little expectation, and even in the mood to hum a little song.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Josa was slightly stunned, and before her brain could react, her body slipped behind a bookshelf, and just as she was hiding, the door was pushed open, and several people walked in quickly.

"What the hell is going on?" the voice was from Farath, who sounded angry right now, and Josa was secretly happy in her heart, because Farath was unhappy because there was something wrong with the Empire, and that was what Yosa wanted to see the most.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. A middle-aged man's voice sounded, and listening to his tone, he seemed to feel a little uneasy in his heart: "Your Excellency, I ask you to give me the most severe punishment!"

"Hmph, now is not the time to talk about this, you tell me if this map has leaked out!" Josa had never heard of Farrath speaking to someone in such a stern tone, and it was clear that the map she mentioned was quite important.

"No, Lord Archon, I can vouch for my life!" replied the middle-aged man, "The copy that the spy stole was actually a copy, but it was just ...... I never expected that my most trusted subordinate turned out to be the other party's spy, and fortunately, Master Victor reminded me that this kind of thing can't be completely faked, so I secretly copied a fake intelligence ......"

"Humph!" Faras snorted heavily, and then Josa heard a slight noise, as if a man had pulled something out of his arms, and Josa thought it was probably some kind of distribution map. And at this time, Josa actually heard Faras's footsteps getting closer and closer to her, she actually walked towards Josha's side, this discovery made Josha's heart begin to accelerate, her forehead, palms have completely oozing sweat, but Josa herself is unconscious, she can only secretly pray, don't let Faras go around behind the bookshelf, otherwise she will be finished.

I don't know which god heard Josha's prayer, and the footsteps of Faras stopped beside Josha, at this time Faras and Josa were only one bookshelf apart, and just when Josa was engrossed in listening to Faras's actions, suddenly there was a subtle sound of books rubbing on the bookshelf, Josa was startled, she didn't expect Faras to take the books on the shelves, and without the blocking of the books, she would still be exposed.

Maybe it was Josa who got the favor of Lady Luck today, the book that Faras was holding was not by Josa's side, and by taking away the gap left by the book, Faras still couldn't see Josa hidden behind the bookshelf, and just when Josa was secretly rejoicing, he heard someone talking outside again.

"Ah, Lord Archon......" The middle-aged man's voice sounded in surprise, and Faraz's slightly smug voice sounded immediately: "You didn't expect it, did you? My study was originally one of the safest places in the imperial capital, and how could anyone who really had the strength to sneak into this place care about such a most ordinary book? Even if he knew that this list of spies in the imperial capital were in the book, how much time would it take to look through them one by one?"

"This, you are so powerful, you can think of this way!" the middle-aged man let out a heartfelt admiration.

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, give you 2 days, find out the hidden spy for me, or you'll ......" Faras said viciously.

"Thank you, Archon, I won't let you down again!" the middle-aged man said this and strode away.

After the middle-aged man left, Faras suddenly walked to another bookshelf in the corner of the wall more than ten meters away, and while she took out a book from the shelf, she said to herself: "You saw with your own eyes that I put this distribution map in this "Soul Death", but you would never have thought that I changed to another "Art of War" after you left, right?" Oops, it's still a bit of trouble, doesn't Josa often look through these books in the study, in case she turns to this book, well, although she shouldn't read this kind of book, but be careful, I still order, let Josa not come to the study for the next few days, and wait until the interior is cleared. ”

After all this was done, Faras hurried away again, and Josa, who was hiding behind the bookshelf, listened intently for a while, and then made sure that no one was there, and then crept out.

"Damn it!" Josa almost gritted her teeth and said this, because she knew that if she didn't do it now, she might not have a chance again in the next few days, and listening to Faraz, this list of spies lurking in the south must be quite important, if these damn guys can be dug up, then the free alliance in the south of the continent to resist the tyranny of the empire will become more pure, and the day of overthrowing the tyrannical rule of the empire will come earlier.

As soon as she thought of this, Josa couldn't hold back any longer, she carried her skirt and walked quickly to the place where Faras had just been, with the sound in her memory, Josa roughly determined the range, and then slowly checked the rows of bookshelves in the corner, hoping to find the "Art of War" quickly.

In fact, Josa only knew some simple words, and if she hadn't heard Faras say this, she would not have been able to look through these books that were obviously professional military content when she was looking through them here, but even if she knew the title of the book now, Josa had been looking for it for a while before she found the book.

Josa gently opened the information made with a magic sheepskin scroll, which was densely written with words, as well as simple drawings, which seemed to be maps, and many of those words should be people's names, Josa believed that this should be the list of spies lurking in the southern part of the continent in the imperial capital, but unfortunately she herself is not very literate, and it is impossible to write down the contents in a very short time, so she can only take the last resort.
