The Whispering Verses Chapter 1792: Thunder on a rainy day (with pictures – Tifa)

Shad maintained the illusion and wanted to follow him into the stairs, but when he passed the passage, he found that a simple warning ceremony had been set up here:

"Oh? This place actually hired a ring warlock to help arrange the ceremony?"

However, because the warning ritual was too simple, it was completely ineffective for Shade, who was proficient in illusion.

Going through the dark and narrow stairs, you arrive at the hidden fourth floor. What’s even more amazing here is that it’s actually a large flat-floor room. The level of luxury decoration and furniture arrangement were even better than those downstairs, which made Shade have to wonder if this was a place where this high-end brothel was used to entertain big shots.

As soon as Director Anlos showed up, he heard a voice from the southeast corner of the room:

"Anlos, you are too slow. Do you know how much it costs to rent here?"

It was a man's voice, and it was in Kasenric.

Director Anlos pressed his hat and walked over with his men:

"You also need to be patient, Hikari Schnold. If someone discovers the two of us meeting like this, how much trouble do you think it will cause?"

In the southeast corner of the room, a platform with two steps protrudes from the floor, with a square table and stools placed on it. The single-layer glass windows on one side of the wall overlook the rainy Mikaela Blast Furnace City from the fourth floor. Based on the silhouette of the "Glass Blast Furnace" not far away, Shade could also determine the specific location of this place in the city.

The person talking to Director Anlos was a tall and thin man that Shade had never seen before. He had a thick stubble, which he looked like deliberately. The strange tall and thin man must have been the inviter of this meeting, because there were five or six of his men in the room on the top floor, but they all consciously retreated to another room separated by a wooden wall and did not listen to the rest of the conversation. .

The tall and thin Hikari Schnold shakes hands with Director Anlos:

"It will indeed be a bit troublesome, but you said people will think that you, the director of MI6, defected to our Carsonlik, or that I, the minister of Gray Gloves, defected to your Delrayon? ”

Shad was glad that no one could see his shocked look at this time, and at the same time, he was also glad that he followed him.

Director Anlos waved his hand:

"It's a boring question. If it's not necessary, I won't come to see you. Sit down and talk, you know I can't stay here for long."

He motioned to the person behind him to hand him the briefcase:

“This cooperation is out of necessity, let’s get right to the point.”

"Okay, regarding someone who has been preparing for at least a year in advance to try to assassinate your Duke Carina and the head of our negotiating delegation, Duke Simil, the current intelligence is this."

Minister Schnold of Gray Gloves said, but he is not Shade's boss. The ace agent "Grey Eagle" originally belonged directly to the royal family. Even if it is now passed down to "Grey Eagle II", it still belongs directly to Mag. Princess Lit.

"Before discussing, are you sure it is safe here?"

Director Anlos held down the pulled out document and asked, Minister Schnold nodded:

"It's absolutely safe. I hired those special people to set up a ritual to prevent anyone from sneaking in. Otherwise, why do you think this place is so expensive?"

As they spoke, both parties took out the documents they had prepared, and the white document paper quickly covered the table. Director Dark Anlos and Minister Hikari Schnold stood up, almost lying on the table to exchange and discuss every clue and information they had, while Shade leaned on the railing next to the high platform. , while looking at the rain outside the one-way glass, while listening to their every conversation.

Although it is raining, there is still weak sunlight shining through the glass on the faces of outsiders. Raindrops were hitting the windows intensively, and the agents' leaders were exchanging information quickly. Shade just stood there quietly. Although all the information had not been missed, looking at the rainy scenery of the City of Glass outside and the quiet city, he could not help but sigh a little. Everything had changed too quickly.

While listening to the information, I thought about the smiling faces of the girls around me, from Luvia to Tifa. He knew he shouldn't think about this at this time, but the atmosphere on this rainy day was a little too depressing.

The rain in spring is often not heavy, but once it starts it cannot stop. This is a characteristic of the climate in the Green Lake area. By the time Director Anlos and the man carrying the suitcase behind him walked out of a high-end local business place with flowers planted in front and a flower wall used as a screen wall to block the sight of passers-by on Percival Avenue, time had already arrived. It was half past ten this morning.

The carriage stopped at the intersection waiting for the two of them. Director Anlos, who was always cautious, looked around before putting away his umbrella and boarding the carriage. He was very cautious and signaled the carriage to take the assistant away first. He held his hat and walked towards Shade, who was holding an umbrella and looking up at the flowers in front of the flower wall with his hands behind his back.

"You don't seem surprised to see me here."

Xia De did not look at his boss who came to his side. Director Anlos said with a smile:

"Now that the lady has come to this area and you have also appeared, what is impossible?"

He paused:

"But if I saw you in that building in front, I'd probably be really surprised."

That’s why Xia De didn’t choose to show up there:

"Do you mind telling me the situation? Or I can go directly to the lady and ask."

Dak Anlos thought for a moment:

"Find a quiet place to talk."

The two of them almost immediately looked at the building behind the screen wall, and then shook their heads together:

"There is a Victory Carrier Hotel nearby, go there."

The Victory Carrier Hotel is the temporary residence of Professor Boulanger and the three disciples of Eros. Compared with the building covered with flower screens, the Victory Carrier Hotel is undoubtedly a truly serious place.

On a rainy Tuesday morning, there were not many people on the first floor of the hotel. Shade and Director Anlos chose a seat against the wall, which was far away from indoor lights. Therefore, the ordinary-looking Director Anlos was not willing to take off his hat until the waiter brought them tea.

"I just met with the people from Gray Gloves."

Director Anlos lowered his voice. He was not sure how much Shade knew, so he simply said from the beginning:

"Did Ms. Carina tell you about the third party in this negotiation?"

"Yes."

“Since we began discussing border and trade route issues in the Pantanal region last year, some people have been planning to intensify the conflict between us and Kasenrik by assassinating members of the negotiating team. Tobesk some time ago Starting with the unidentified noble who met the mysterious figure in the city, we have now got the exact information that the assassination is targeting the lady and the Duke who leads the Southland team."

He left Shade some time to think:

"We must not relax our vigilance just because the other party is a united rabble. Some of their people are among us. The old continent has been at peace for too long. A spark now will ignite sensitive explosive barrels. Yes. Too many people hope to change the current order. Moreover, we have moved too fast in recent decades, and there have been too many things that should have been dealt with long ago."

Outlanders also understand MI6’s judgment on current affairs from their boss’s tone and expression:

"I have known the importance of this negotiation for a long time, but it has actually progressed to this extent?"

"Peace is a rare era, and war and disputes are normal in civilization."

Director Anlos whispered:

"Those of us who listen to thunder in silent places can best understand the undercurrents hidden under the smooth water. On both sides of Green Lake, Green Lake City and Michaela Blast Furnace City will definitely leave their names in the history books in the future ”

Xia De nodded slightly. Both of them were silent for a while, and then Xia De asked:

"Although this is not my task, can you tell me what are the main difficulties we are facing now?"

Director Anlos nodded cautiously, but then shook his head, his eyes staring at Shade:

"There are also people with extraordinary abilities among the other parties."

He spoke very carefully and his voice became lower:

"You should understand what I'm talking about, but those with extraordinary abilities just hide behind the scenes because they are afraid of the church's rules and do not dare to leave directly."

For example, the Ring Warlock from [Tyranny Club] appeared during the shooting at the banquet last Friday.

"These people will not take the initiative, but their existence itself can provide convenience to ordinary people. This is the most difficult point of the investigation, but fortunately, both the Sixth Bureau and Gray Gloves have some capabilities. Extraordinary people as helpers ”

"Since we are sure who exists, why not turn to the church for help?"

Xia De asked again, Director Anlos shook his head slowly:

"We maintain a tacit understanding that as long as the church does not end, no one can cross that line. Once the church comes to an end, you have to know that the Five Gods Church will not consider the interests of Delarion and Kasenric. They just want to catch the unruly people, but both Delrayon and Kasonrik think they can benefit from handling this matter."

"So...now not only do we maintain a tacit understanding with each other, but the church also maintains a tacit understanding with everyone?"

Xia De summed it up.

"The church is like a god, watching everyone coldly from above, playing 'games' within the rules, and waiting for the rules to be broken. People always don't like such a superior existence. , directly intervene in your own affairs, so you must keep a good balance."

If it weren't for Shade's excellent hearing, he might not be able to hear a single word clearly at this moment.

"In fact, this has always been the case. In this era of strange power, the secret service must not only grasp the boundaries between itself and ordinary citizens, but also grasp the boundaries between ordinary and extraordinary. This is very Difficult, very difficult, even harder than walking on a tightrope in a circus. Carefully walk through the misty alley, only looking at the figure you want to pursue in front of you, and not paying attention to the strange things in the mist. Yes, yes, this. It’s us, so we are the country’s trump card.”

The light in the eyes of this ordinary-looking middle-aged man at this moment is simply terrifying:

"So, even if everyone knows that there is a special existence in such a thing that can shake the world order, they can only default to knowing nothing and wait for the other party to make mistakes. In the case of Green Lake, Third-party forces are about to cross the line!”
