Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 118 A Piece of Gold
Councilman Ibel was very touched when he knew that Luke wanted to protect him personally!
At night, he specially arranged a comfortable guest room for Luke, and called several beautiful maids, allowing Luke to choose one to stay and serve him that night.
You can leave them all behind ...
Looking at the pretty maids standing in a row, Luke struggled internally for a moment, but finally refused.
"A lot will happen tonight, and your safety is the most important thing. Under the protection of our imperial spies, you can rest assured."
"Yes, yes, safety is important! Mainly because you are here, Inspector, I can relax completely. I haven't slept since last night, so I am very sleepy. I will go back to my room to rest, and the safety here is left to you." Congressman Ibel came to his senses.
"Be at ease. Good night, Councillor."
"Good night, Inspector."
Councillor Ibel yawned and left with the maids.
Luke and the sandpaper were the only ones left in the room.
Sandpaper also yawned as if it was contagious.
"Anything else? If not, I'll go sleep next door."
Luke walked to the window, opened the closed curtains a little and looked out. The lights were on in the courtyard of the mansion, and the agents on duty were all in their respective positions.
The guard outside can be left to Thomas, he is still reliable .
Luke turned around and looked at Sandpaper, who was already sleepy and leaning all over the place. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I asked you to protect me, but you were so sleepy that you couldn't open your eyes first."
Sandpaper half-closed his eyes and twirled the wrench between his fingertips.
"I have installed a lot of small alarm devices in the area. These are the inventions I made when I was on the run. Although he can find me without touching these devices every time, they are definitely useful against real people.
I checked this room too, there should be no problem.
I'm next door, I'll come over if anything happens. Don't stay up late anymore, you won't grow taller."
"Go to bed. I'll call you if anything happens."
Sandpaper put the wrench back into his backpack and walked out of the room.
Luke turned off the light and lay down on the bed without taking off his clothes.
Wow!
The spacious and soft big bed is so comfortable. Rich people really know how to enjoy themselves!
And I am destined to hard work.
Luke closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he was in a pointed attic.
[Since your real location is in the central area of Golden Shield Empire's Raging Waves City, the map of the area lights up for you, and the character you created can use the 18 virtual teleportation anchors in the central area.]
Luke landed on Clear Sky and opened the map. All the virtual teleportation anchor points in the central city were lit up, while the virtual teleportation anchor points in the Cape area were unusable.
What are you doing now?
According to the fixed schedule of the past few days, it is now the class time of the Oulu College's Mystic Department. Dean Wilred will hide his appearance, teach a class for the Mystic Department according to his own schedule, and then teach Qingkong a class.
The rest of the time is at the discretion of the Department of Mystic Arts.
I will definitely miss class today.
There is a tense atmosphere in this quiet city.
Go find Madame Michel, she should know what Virgil wants to do.
Find the nearest virtual teleportation anchor point and teleport in the direction of the Whisperer Mystery House.
After entering the store, Luke asked Wen Lisa to find Mrs. Michelle and went to the roof of the third floor alone. He took out the tea set and sat under the pavilion to make tea for himself.
The sea breeze is blowing and the fragrance of tea is everywhere.
When a pot of tea was ready, there was a sound of door opening behind me and Mrs. Michel was sitting on the other side of the tea table.
"It seems that you have noticed something strange in Raging Waves City tonight... Miss Qingkong."
Luke poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Mishil. "Yes, things are very unusual in Raging Wave City tonight. There are fewer sheriffs and imperial spies patrolling at night. I thought I had been caught by them."
"Thank you..." Mrs. Michel scooped a spoonful of sugar into the teacup, stirred it and said, "Congressman Virgil summoned them for other things. You asked me to meet you. Do you have any news to tell me?"
"Gathering so many sheriffs and imperial spies! What does Councillor Virgil want to do?"
Michelle felt that Virgil's action was about to begin and there was nothing to hide, so he answered truthfully: "The Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau is expanding too fast, and Virgil feels that some restrictions should be placed on them. This is an internal matter of the city's security department, so I can't say more, please understand!"
Virgil is indeed planning to attack the Cape District. I wonder if Shelley and the others can handle it?
Luke was a little worried about the situation in the Cape District. She said to Mrs. Michelle, "Inspector Meteorite of the Cape District Secret Service is now at Councillor Ibel's house."
"I know that after Inspector Meteorite arrived, Viscount Iscolan also went there soon. I just don't know what they talked about. The whole Raging Wave City wants to know."
Mrs. Michelle demonstrated her intelligence capabilities and was looking forward to Qingkong bringing her more useful information.
Luke analyzes Mrs. Michelle's position based on what he knows about her in the game and now.
Although Lady Michelle has integrated into the circle of the new nobility in Raging Waves City, she still has the arrogance of the old nobility in her nature, and feels that the current life of the new nobility is just an imitation of others.
A group of nouveau riche who caught up with the changing times.
Therefore, in the plot of the game, Mrs. Michelle helped Iscolan enter the Council of Raging Waves City.
At the same time, Mrs. Michelle has a strong ambition for power, but it is just hidden deeper now.
She was missing an opportunity.
"Did you lose a sum of gold?"
Mrs. Michelle asked Luke alertly: "How do you know?"
Luke took out a piece of gold from Qingkong's space backpack and placed it on the table: "I found this in his office when I was investigating the meteorite. There should be more of this batch of gold, but I haven't found the exact location yet."
Mrs. Michel took up the gold nugget.
The mark on the gold nugget indicates that it is one of the lost gold.
Virgil's guess was correct, the gold was indeed taken away by a meteorite.
It seems that Ibul really colluded with Meteor to cause a flying boat accident...
No!
Meteorite had only been in office in the Cape District for a short time, and it was impossible for Ibul and him to build trust in such a short time.
Unless, all this was arranged by the eldest princess.
Ibul had long since surrendered to the eldest princess, and then the eldest princess sent Meteorite to the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau to take up the post and cooperate.
Their purpose was definitely not to get the gold, but to make the parliament suspicious of each other so that the princess could insert her own power into the city of Raging Waves.
Mrs. Michelle looked at the gold in her hand, and the clues in her heart were connected by a chain.
We can roughly guess what Ibul, Meteor, and Isklan are plotting.
They want to take down Virgil and put Iscolan or one of the Meteors in parliament.
The eldest princess was able to invite the Brotherhood of the Blades, so the seat of parliament vacated by Virgil should be given to Iscolan.
I can know their plans in advance, what should I do to profit from it?
