Chapter 698 Relevance

"Owen's great horror before his death."

Lassus chewed and thought over and over again, but he still couldn't figure it out.

The original liquidation action against the "Vanessa" luxury cruise ship was targeted at Fanning, a music master who has reached the "new moon" and the founder of Turner Theater Arts, who has a decisive influence on the world's art industry.

Decisions at this level cannot be made unilaterally at his level.

In other words, earlier that year, the secret door manhunt against Fan Ning, who had a "forged lion" personality and was just the music director of the Art Hall, was not something that could be determined by his level.

He is just an inspector general who exercises supervisory authority and is not even qualified to weigh the costs.

Last time, the leader took half a day to make a decision and agreed verbally.

This time, the leader took a day and a half to make the decision and approved it in writing.

Lassus had never heard that it took such a long time for a leader to make a decision!

"If there is one thing that is the biggest shock in the Vanessa incident, it must be that the operation failed."

"Under the premise that we targeted the mysterious abilities of the target's 'Candle' and 'Key' in advance, and still arranged the number of personnel and 'phantom people' in an oversaturated manner, the operation actually failed."

"Fan Ning's strength is far beyond expectations. When he escaped from the secret door, he was only a high-ranking person with knowledge, but now I am afraid that even I, who is also a third-level student of Xiaoxiao, cannot be his opponent. I don't know what happened in the past two or three years. What adventure did he have during this time? , was it an adventure in the waking world or an adventure in the Migration exploration? If it weren't for the fact that he was holding the remains of the 'old days' and that he was seriously injured and almost died, I would even suspect that he was following a path similar to the leader's. That kind of blazes a trail."

"So this is why Owen, a participant in the war, was horrified before he died?"

“But, can this really match the level of ‘huge’, ‘extreme’, ‘beyond cognition’ and so on?”

Lassus was mumbling to himself as he walked along the river bank.

But soon, he brought his thoughts back to the current situation: "So, do you think there is some connection between the suspicion of this discovery, the mystery of Vincent's whereabouts, and the upper reaches of the Hedgewell River where he last moved? connect?"

This may be reasonable.

The horror before Irving's death, and the protagonist of the "Vanessa" incident, was Fan Ning.

The one we want to investigate now is Vincent.

There is certainly a strong connection, and it's at least worth searching for again.

"There is some inexplicable connection."

Mr. Wax changed Lasus' question into a statement and added a modifier.

"Perhaps revelation tells me that tonight is a more suitable time than in previous years, and more special secret history factors will be mixed in sneakily."

After Mr. Wax finished speaking, he lowered his head and said no more words.

The wheelchair continued to roll over the river sand and withered grass, and for a while there was only a crackling sound in the air.

I kept going like this for nearly an hour, but still gained nothing.

During the period, the investigators also identified several secret ritual points that they had laid out during the investigation a few years ago. Of course, the altar has been dismantled now, but there were originally marks on the map.

After walking for another ten minutes, seeing that Mr. Wax still remained silent, Lasus was about to ask something more——

Suddenly, far away on the other side of the river, I could faintly see the light shining through the black water vapor!

The stars are dotted, flickering and extinguishing.

"What's that?"

"Is there anyone there?"

An investigator quickly ran forward for more than ten meters, taking three steps and two steps at a time, leaping to a higher rock and holding up a pair of telescopes with cyan flashing lenses.

"It took several hours to get off the ship from the pier of the small town of Mingtkinkans at that time and take a horse-drawn carriage to go upstream. If we estimate the walking distance,"

"The last traceable activity range of Vincent at that time should have been this river bank."

After receiving the arrangement, the presiding judge Melaldine temporarily called Bishop Walter as his deputy among the senior members of the congregation who were listening to the sermon. At this time, Walter also held a map in his hand, lowered his head and slowly opened his mouth to analyze it.

As a conductor with both loyal beliefs and professional ethics, Walter felt that this temporary operation was somewhat unspeakable. Well, a strange fate?

I asked my boss for leave. I was obviously here to attend a performance. Why did I find out that my boss's father was here?

After hearing the situation, Fan Ning did not express his position.

He had been looking at his surroundings.

The cold wind on the uninhabited wilderness river bank is extremely light and cool. The withered grass trembles weakly. The river sand under the feet is fine and moist. The irregular arcs of the river are eroded one after another, and then slowly soaked and receded.

Just when Fan Ning was about to reach down and squat down——

"Um?."

Another intuition suddenly surged in my spirit.

It seemed that at the end of the field of vision a little downstream on the other side of the river, there was something watching, piercing through the layers of black mist, looking at me!

"Why is this boundary monument so illegal?" So Fan Ning turned his arm and pointed at the huge stone monument on a raised slope to the side.

Next to him, Melaldine and Walter, as well as several other clergy and military officers, walked over.

The crowd of followers behind him, who kept a slight distance from each other and formed "long dragons of fire" or circles of "halos of lamps", all looked over.

The boundary monument is clearly engraved with words declaring sovereignty such as "territory of the Kingdom of Lydia", and there is a crow-shaped relief below.

"Master Lavoisier, this is actually enemy-occupied territory." A man who looked like a senior military officer looked a little embarrassed and angry at this time. "That's why they erected such a thing as a demonstration."

"Since you issued the 'ceasefire negotiation' instruction a few days ago, the church has come forward to negotiate a lot, and the royal family of Janus has also responded positively and shown a lot of sincerity, including immediately counting and gathering the Sun Army garrison in the southern country. Just wait. The final order to evacuate."

"It's just that the Lydia side retreated from the Apel War Zone and retreated from some areas, but it was not painful in terms of military value. Especially the upper reaches of the northern area, there is no intention to leave at all. , saying that we will wait until our garrison in the southern country is completely withdrawn."

"Our troops may have violated your "quick ceasefire" instruction, so we are temporarily giving in. Otherwise, if a conflict breaks out, those on the other side who should shoot will still shoot, and those who bomb will still bomb."

"Also, dear priests." Another deputy next to the officer carefully added, "If you have to go more than 5 kilometers upstream, the large group of civilians following you may need to be evacuated. Well, I'm afraid they'll step on a landmine."

"How can there be such truth?" A priest next to him was immediately furious, "Father Lavoisier led us on the path of righteousness, negotiated forgiveness and showed abundant mercy, and they, Lydia, lost face because of this? "

"Your Excellency, Judge, in my opinion, it is during the Harvest Art Festival. The smoke is too thick and there is too much blood. It has indeed had a bad impact on the peace of Janus. It is not a big problem to temporarily avoid the ceasefire in the Apel War Zone! But the garrison in the southern country , we should continue to take advantage of fighting to support war, and continue to fight hard. First, we should smash a few of these Lydian enclosures, and then talk to them about a ceasefire. Watch them. How dare you sit here and raise your price!”
