Close Bell.

The turbulent disturbances of the imperial civil war did not have any impact on Closebell. In the past, if such a big thing happened to the empire, then the spies from the empire and the republic would have been jumping around Closebell, causing trouble, which made everyone panic all day long.

But now, Closebell is so calm—even comfortable.

“Haah………………”

Standing on the platform outside the house and enjoying the fresh air after the rain, a red-haired man dressed in a tourist sighed.

He is Rector Arandal of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, code-named "Scarecrow". This time, he was also ordered to come to Closebell. As a member of the Imperial Intelligence Lord, Rector has only one mission, which is to investigate the mysterious huge warships that appeared in Closebell and figure out where they came from!

This happened before the imperial civil turmoil, but what made Rector helpless was that he had not been able to complete the task until now.

This is not how tightly Close Bell is about these mysterious warships. In fact, these warships have been floating outside the city of Close Bell, crossing the sky like metal mountains. You can see clearly when you look up. Not only that, in order to facilitate and meet the viewing needs of tourists, Close Bell has also built an observation deck on the platform where IBC was originally located.

As long as you invest in Mira, you can conduct comprehensive observations of these warships through telescopes......

“……………………………”

Looking at the viewing telescope in front of him, Rector was speechless.

Isn’t this a secret weapon? Why did you come here and spend money? Are you all treated as a attraction? Do you still have to spend money?

As a financial city, Closebell is truly well-known.

"Big brother, is your time right?"

Just when Rector was speechless, a little girl next to him asked in a slight voice. Looking at the girl, Rector also smiled slightly and let him go.

"Here, come on."

"Okay, thank you brother."

The little girl thanked Rector politely, then walked to the viewing telescope, threw Mira into it, then looked at the telescope, and then screamed.

"Wow, so big and beautiful......!!"

"Ha ha……………"

Looking at the little girl's reaction, Rector smiled bitterly again, and then sat down on the chair next to him. Looking closely, you can see that the entire viewing platform is full of people, all tourists from other countries. Since Crossbell announced his independence, all countries have developed a very strong interest in this mysterious warship that suddenly appeared. Rector has also seen several of his "same kind" among these tourists.

In addition to intelligence personnel from various countries, Rector also saw many scholars and guidance experts. They also issued applications to the Crossbeer government that hoped to observe the internal structure of the warship, but they were rejected without exception.

So in desperation, these scholars had to learn from the tourists and ran to the observation deck to watch these warships in order to obtain some information.

Although Rector had a little understanding of what they said, because these people often appeared, he also summarized some key points.

First of all, it can be confirmed from the debates between scholars from various countries that this is not a product of the ancient Semlia civilization, because it is different from the ancient civilization ruins excavated from various parts of the Semlia continent. Moreover, those guide mechanics experts also said that the appearance of these warships is obviously artificial creation, and they are definitely made with very superb technology.

Not only that, the technology used by this warship is also incredible. At least according to the information that Rector asked, no country in the countries of the Semlia continent has had such technology so far. The only suspicious thing is the floating city that appeared when Libert changed. Although the floating city collapsed at that time, according to the description of the eldest prince Olivith, Fang Zheng took the goddess's "Emperor Treasure" from the apostle of the association at that time.

Although after that, the Kingdom of Liber and the Seven Stars Church unanimously announced that the treasure of the sky was handed over to the church for custody, who knows if Fang Zheng got something from it before this?

After all, no one knows what kind of power the goddess's treasure has.

Of course, the best way is to go to the warship to investigate.

Reckett was full of confidence in this. According to his observation, judging from the size of the warships, there were at least tens of thousands of soldiers. And so many people's food, drink, defecation and urination would never be solved on the warships. They always had to change shifts and rest. As long as they could find where these people changed their duty, they might find an opportunity to sneak in and then board the warships to search to get more information.

But...Reckett has been staring at him for so many days, but he found out...

These warships just float there and have no intention of coming down!

Well, maybe these warships are too big and have no place to dock. But the crew on it always needs to change shifts. Rector knew that the supply supplies required by the crew on an airship were limited, and these warships were larger in size and did not require more supplies?

So Rector also specifically investigated the circulation of food supplies in Crossbel. In his opinion, the diet of tens of thousands of people is a big number, and if there is circulation, it will definitely not be covered up.

However, after Rector's investigation, he found that there was no!

Nothing!

The Crossbel government did not suddenly buy large amounts of supplies and food, nor did it use military supplies to transport them to cover up the inexplicable circulation of supplies. Everything is normal, just as if these warships had never appeared at all, and there was no need for maintenance and material supplies!

How is this possible?

Rector Max was puzzled. Could such a large warship be controlled by just a few people? What a joke, the warship is as big as the Gululian Peak. How long does it take for a person to walk from one end to the other?

Alas, what should I do next?

All the information that could be investigated secretly was investigated, but no detailed clues were found about the warships.

If you can find something...

Just as Rector was thinking about how to continue his mission, he suddenly saw a girl in a white uniform and beret walking past him. Looking at the girl with white hair and red eyes, Rector's eyes lit up. At this moment, suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him.

"Little Swan."

"Ah, Sister Leander."

Hearing this voice, the girl with white hair and red eyes turned around, and then Rector saw a blond girl in the same white uniform walking to her.

"It's time to change shifts soon. You still remember patrolling the airspace."

"Um."

The white-haired girl nodded.

"From here to Almorika village, we will mainly patrol for a week."

"That's right, although the commander is not here at the moment, we must do our own tasks well, and you can't take it lightly."

"Yes, Sister Leander, I remember."

The two talked for a few words, then the blonde girl left the street while the white-haired girl continued to walk forward.

But at this moment, Rector's eyes suddenly lit up.

Airspace... patrol... Could it be that this girl is one of the crew members on those warships?

That's right, it must be like this!

Thinking of this, Rector also cheered up and followed the white-haired girl, while secretly thinking about how to use her to approach the warship. In Rector's opinion, since the other party was going to the warship, he naturally had to take a means of transportation. Then he could follow him in, as long as he could find a secret hidden place... Well, but what if the other party had tight security?

While following the white-haired girl, Rector disguised himself as a tourist and thought quickly. However, the white-haired girl in front did not notice that someone was following her, but instead admired the surrounding scenery and walked forward.

There is no way, so I have to be tough!

Seeing the white-haired girl turning around here and leaving, Rector's eyes became cold. He finally decided to kidnap the other party and forced him to ask for some information. Although according to Rector's personality, this matter did not fit his style, the investigation of those warships is the focus now, and the girl looks very timid and cowardly. I am afraid that as long as she is scared, the other party will tell a lot of information.

Thinking of this, Rector also took notice. He tidied up the tourist shirt that looked like he was wearing from Hawaii and walked up with a smile.

"Ah, sorry, this lady, I want to ask you if I have something to do."

"Hello, what's the matter?"

Faced with Rector's chatter, the white-haired girl seemed a little nervous, but she still responded politely.

"That's right. I made an appointment with my friend to fish together. He said he found a management hut here, but I don't know where it is? I couldn't find it after leaving the east gate. The bus said he didn't go. Do you know where the place is?"

While speaking, Rector also took out the map and pretended to ask the white-haired girl for advice. This was his first move. Although Rector hoped to obtain information, he knew that in the city of Closebell, the risk of doing so was very high. Because after Closebell's independence, Fang Zheng installed surveillance cameras in Closebell and surrounding villages and towns. Over the past few days, many stupid criminals have been arrested. Of course, Rector would not be stupid enough to leave any clues here. If he could find an excuse to bring the girl out of the city, it would be much more convenient.

"Ah, this place is indeed remote, I'll take you there."

Fortunately, the white-haired girl seemed to have no doubt about Reckett's words. She nodded after taking a look at the map, and Reckett also smiled and put it away.

"Thank you, this lovely lady."

"Hey? Hey......cute, I'm not that cute..."

Faced with Rector's compliment, the white-haired girl suddenly turned red, and then she hurriedly turned around and walked towards the east gate.

"Let's go, that place is not far from here, you'll arrive in just a while."

In this way, under the leadership of the white-haired girl, the two left Crossbel and walked forward along the street. Rector appeared to chat with the girl in a mess, but in fact he was paying close attention to the situation around him. When he was sure there was no people nearby, Rector raised his right hand, rushed forward, and knocked on the girl's neck!

According to Rector's plan, he could get some clues by knocking the girl out, tied it up and took it to the abandoned hut nearby, and then asking. But......

“——————!!”

Just as Rector's hand was about to hit the girl, suddenly, dozens of pentagonal interwoven azure barriers appeared behind the girl, blocking Rector's attack. The white-haired girl was also startled and turned around and retreated, looking at Rector in surprise.

"What are you going to do?"

"cut."

Seeing this scene, Rector gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that even a little girl would be so difficult to deal with!

Thinking of this, Rector took out a gun from his arms and aimed at the white-haired girl in front of him.

"Little sister, I'm sorry, I advise you not to move around. I just want to ask you some......"

However, Rector did not finish his words, because at this moment he saw the white-haired girl raise her right hand and pointing at him. Then, a giant cannon thicker than his head appeared out of thin air from the air behind her, and the black muzzle was aimed at him.

Reckett: “……………???”

He glanced at the guide gun in his hand, and then looked at the muzzle opposite the door that was bigger than his head.

Reckett was completely confused.

What is this unfolding?

Am I dreaming?

"boom!!!"
