Chapter 1,148 The Target Who Has Not Been Saved Yet
Although he had not yet seen Dan's life or death, Lin, who had nothing to do with himself, was also infected by the sad atmosphere. However, as an outsider, his emotions were not as deep as others. And from what he said, he probably imagined the relationship between the deceased and the old Duke. Although I don’t know the details, even ordinary families will have some things that are unreasonable to outsiders, let alone nobles.
But there are some things that he still has to say, and he has to say them. Furthermore, he is also the outsider best suited to break this sad atmosphere now.
He endured the fatigue and exhaustion of energy caused by hundreds of flash spells with additional protective magic. Lin came to the sad old Duke and said: "Your Excellency, please have your condolences. But please don't forget that you have another son who is still outside. If this one is not Marquis Farshid, then where is he?" ? Without bringing the Marquis back, my mission this time is not considered a success. Is it hidden in some secret room in the Duke's mansion? In that house, I followed your instructions and set fire everywhere and used gasoline. I couldn't put it out if I wanted to. It's not that easy. If the Marquis is still hiding in the fire scene and we don't act quickly, we may not die at the hands of the enemy but be burned to death by me instead. This would be a sin."
Wiping the tears on his face, he carefully placed his child's remains back on the ground. Naturally, there are other people who know how to arrange the follow-up arrangements and do it meticulously. Not only are they the illegitimate sons of the old Duke, but also members of the guard of Marquis Farshid. There are also many who have noble status or are of noble origin, and they must be treated with the etiquette and treatment corresponding to their status.
The old Duke still had an expression full of reluctance and pain, but he still endured the pain and talked about his other son with the magician who helped him greatly. "If they activate the double plan, it means Noonan has left the Duke's Palace. So the fire will only burn out the things that should not be left, and you don't have to worry about burning the wrong thing."
"That is to say, you have an evacuation plan, which is good. So where should I find the Marquis? The sooner you bring him back, the less you have to worry about. The hard work and sacrifices of others will not be in vain." Lin Huoluo He stretched his muscles and bones, trying to find his own state.
Although it won't help my fatigue, running one last time and bringing back the most important goal can save me from long nights and dreams. No matter what, I had to run this trip. If he didn't do it and let the old Duke's son die outside, then everything he had done before would be in vain.
For the same reason, the old Duke also figured it out. Immediately he called over several deacons in the family who were responsible for the Marquis' affairs. These people are all people who may be related to their son's evacuation plan. He led the group of people and the magician to another quiet place. The members of the Duke's Guard consciously separated a space to ensure that the conversation here would not be leaked.
"Tell me, who knows where that kid Noonan is running to?" The old Duke directly asked everyone as the head of the family.
The deacons who have stayed in the Duke's Mansion in the imperial capital for many years are of course loyal and trustworthy to the Grand Duke. But the matter is so important that even members of the Duke's Guard may not be qualified to know, let alone a magician whose origins are unknown in their eyes.
Everyone's suspicious glances were quite explicit and unconcealed. Although Lin felt it, he didn't feel dissatisfied. This is a normal reaction for those people who are superior. There is a saying in my hometown that there are seven rank officials in front of the prime minister. They are people who serve the great nobles and have titles themselves. It would be abnormal if they were completely unwary of magicians who appeared out of nowhere.
However, the old Duke did not explain someone's origins to these servants in a leisurely manner. He said directly: "Tell me. You can come back safely because of his help. My son can only count on him if he wants to come back safely." . If you don’t tell me, you are just wasting my time. If you don’t know, just say you don’t know.”
Everyone looked at each other, and the two deacons took a step forward, bowed and said, "Master, only the two of us participated in the Marquis' departure."
"Very good. Let the others go help with the matter over there. You two stay here.──" The Grand Duke pointed to the magician standing beside him, "──Tell him the story once. What does he want to ask? Just answer everything you know, no need to hold anything back.”
Since it was the order from the head of the family, the two people who stayed behind revealed their plan to evacuate from the imperial capital without reservation.
After listening to the first episode, Lin directly unfolded the night starry sky. While covering everyone, he also unfolded a miniature real-life terrain map of the Gwana Empire. On the topographic map, in addition to marking known important cities and fortresses, the territories of different nobles were also roughly divided.
It can be said that if this real scene picture is put on paper and taken out, it can be directly used for military purposes. So let alone the two remaining deacons looking at someone with strange eyes, even the Grand Duke looked a little abnormal.
Even though I had been in the era of information explosion before time travel, a high-precision map of this level was nothing. But after living in Midland for a few years, Lin knew very well that even an ordinary road map might be caught as a spy by the local nobles. It would not be an injustice to take out a real-life picture of this level and directly send it to the guillotine.
However, judging from someone's current strength, although he still lives as obscenely as before, there are many things that he no longer needs to cover up. I took out this map to find people faster and more conveniently.
The specific method was to ask the Carvey family to point out trustworthy places in their evacuation plan that could provide their own supplies and change horses. Using a map to mark things can make things clearer and clearer than just listening to what the other party says. Coupled with the strength of Marquis Farshed and his entourage, it is easy to draw the range of activities they can reach in one day.
It is a pity that the choice of route is completely made by the escapees themselves, and there is no standard route planned. One of the reasons for doing this is, of course, to prevent the enemy from easily grasping the whereabouts after the intelligence is leaked, and thus being captured. On the contrary, even if we want to pick someone up, we don’t know where to pick them up. In terms of safety, it is really safe. The kind that no one can find.
Although he used detailed maps and estimated the distance traveled by the Marquis and his party, as well as the supply points arranged by the Kawei family in various places, as well as various climatic factors, terrain assessment and other additional influencing factors, Lin predicted that the Marquis and others Possible locations. However, the prediction range is so large that finding just three people is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack, which is very difficult.
Lin scratched his hair, not knowing what to do. The old Duke was also frustrated by this result, but he had no choice but to ask: "Boy, are you sure you can find my son from an area that is about the same size as my territory?"
"Your Excellency, do you think it is possible?" Lin replied weakly.
"Very difficult?"
"It's very difficult, not very difficult." Someone who had been weakened by repeated use of the flash technique with protective magic said excitedly at this time.
