Chapter 168 Suspicion
The Marquis of Whitehead did not continue to pester Brown, which made Miss Anne feel relieved. Brown, who was not too cunning, was definitely not a match for the Marquis. The more he talked to him, the more secrets he would get.
Anne didn't know what purpose there was behind her father's sudden as Governor Marcellus, but she knew that she would never let these ancient heroes know about them. In the face of absolute power, the power tricks that the Marquis was good at were jokes. She had just found a way to communicate with Young Master Liang. If her father followed his plan, she would push the empire into the abyss.
"You seem to be afraid of your father. I feel that he... is not bad." This is also the first time Brown saw Marquis Whitehead, and he felt like he was in the spring breeze.
Anne was most afraid of Brown's feelings for her father, and she warned: "These are all disguises, all his looks are disguises. As his daughter, I don't know which one is his real side. You... just look at me and I can play any role in order to achieve my goal.
Be careful of my father. When he wants to see you alone, he will immediately avoid it and notify me."
Brown did not expect a daughter to have such a comment on his father, saying, "The relationship between you father and daughter is a bit special."
"This is the Whitehead family. Too much affects people's judgment." Anne and Brown still kept their lovers close, so that outsiders could not see any flaws. Then she took Brown to the corner of the banquet and said, "I will take you to meet two people. When you met these ancient heroes in the Death Desert, they also took the expedition team to survey the Death Desert.
I just got intelligence from a general.
When we took a train to Saroyang, they were rescued by patrolling Imperial airships near the Dosang Railway. Only the two of them survived the entire expedition, and the place where they were rescued was... near the place where you got on the train."
When Anne was chatting with Jessica, she naturally talked about Jessica and Sir Charles' adventure in the Death Desert. Some of the details aroused the sensitivity of Anne's profession.
Instead of getting information from Jessica in depth, she found a general in charge of the Dosan Railway patrol of the Azure Corps, learned about the rescue process of Sir Charles and Jessica, and the exact time and place.
The location is not far from where Sophia drove her and Eric out of the train car.
The hired mercenary group was completely destroyed by a raid of the undead, but Sir Charles and Jessica did not seem to have suffered much damage. There are great doubts here...
Brown didn't expect that Anne wanted to check these ancient heroes, and he whispered: "Aren't you afraid of being Liang?"
But Anne pulled Brown away indifferently and said, "You know so much more than me, and you don't want to tell me... I'm jealous and can't help but find more secrets about them. Are you not curious? Don't you want to know more answers?"
Anne's last sentence made Brown no longer resist. The more he contacted these ancient heroes, the more he was attracted by the brilliant magic civilization of ancient times. Since he was determined to learn more advanced magic from ancient heroes, he naturally wanted to know them more.
"Well, let's call Hannah... and stop if she stops us."
Annie realized, "Yes, go find Hannah first. If she stops it... it means we are looking for the right person, let's go..."
Brown really regrets talking too much.
The Marquis of Whitehead convened a meeting of Marcelères, and Sir Charles finally got out of his body and met with Jessica. The two of them found a place to sit down, held the glasses and slowly drank the wine, waiting for the end of the banquet.
Jessica looked at the heavily guarded stairs and the second floor corridor and suddenly asked Sir Charles: "Just... do you say, will Marquis Whitehead kill all the enemies he thinks he thinks are at this banquet?
What a great opportunity this is, the important figures from the Council and Saroyang City Hall have come.”
Sir Charles smiled and said, "Marcelus's problem cannot be solved by killing a few important figures. The members of the parliament are only spokespersons, and even the speaker is only a senior spokesperson.
Behind these politicians is the entire Marcelus capital, the capitalists who pay to help them run for the election. Every word they say and everything they do is for the benefit of this capital.
Killing them will only make those capitalists feel distressed, and then they can launch a new group of spokespersons.
Then the empire will be guilty of violating the Treaty of Marcelus and affecting the whole world's impression of the empire. Everyone will think that the Florminke Empire is a capricious and unreputable country. What is directly affected is the empire's economy. Remember... wealth will always flow to stable and reputable areas.
The future is no longer the era when Florminke musketeers can sweep the mainland by riding a horse. New weapons are changing the mode of war, and it takes a lot of money to study and manufacture new weapons.
This is also the reason why the Flormink Empire and the Marcelère province have always been ninjas and are unwilling to break out of civil war.
So many countries around covet Marcelus' fat meat, and fighting... is the last resort."
Jessica said: "No wonder you hate politicians so much. We explore everywhere and look for ancient secrets. It is more interesting and meaningful than their intrigue."
"But these annoying politicians are also maintaining the order of the world, developing the civilization of the world, and allowing your adventures to be supported in all aspects. Everyone has his value. You can hate him but you cannot ignore the contributions they have made." Miss Anne, who walked over, easily intervened in the discussion. She and Brown sat down to greet Sir Charles: "Just, you are the one I admired since I was a child. I have seen all your adventure notes, and your adventures are simply a wonderful legend for us children.
I know that you are now surveying the Dead Desert with the Empire, and can I know what you and Miss Jessica have experienced in the desert?
I have always wanted to go to the Death Desert adventure, but my father didn't allow me to go. I hope I can make up for my regret from your story..."
"Miss Anne, Mr. Jennings, hello..." Sir Charles did not doubt Anne's purpose for the time being: "Tonight, everyone is asking me about the Desert of Death, and I am very willing to tell you about our experience in this survey..."
Sir Charles talked to Anne, and Jessica asked Brown whisperedly: "Where is your maid, Miss Hannah, isn't she with you?"
Brown didn't know how Jessica met Hannah, and he replied: "I didn't find her, it's so big..."
At this time, at the top of a nearby curtain, two bats hid behind the curtain and exposed their two small heads, staring at the four people talking.
"what to do?"
