"The latest intelligence? Well, it's actually pretty much the same as the last report we sent back to our ship. The only change is that the remnants of the Witch King in Trilintelme seem to be much more active."

When Amiya heard the name, her expression suddenly became clear.

"The remnants of the Witch King?"

"Yes, well, come in, and let's cut to the chase."

Chapter 325: The Remnants of the Witch King

The interior decoration of the office is rather simple, with a few cabinets for storing files, four desks put together, a few chairs, and some small personal items of the resident agents.

This is the office, and there is a kitchen at the back for the operators to use. The operators can solve their daily meal problems in the kitchen, or buy takeout. The operators are free to do so. There are also simple medical facilities and two wards in the office, which allow them to handle some emergency matters.

After taking a quick look at the internal environment of the office, it can be seen that it is a bit hasty to set up offices in various countries at this early stage of Rhodes Island. Although this can bring intelligence from various countries to Rhodes Island, the cash flow of each office is obviously not sufficient.

"So, do you have any information about the remnants of the Witch King?"

The leading pencil holder pondered for a moment, and finally told Amiya bit by bit about the active activities of the remnants of the Witch King in Trilintelme during this period.

Ever since Theresis and his men attacked Trilintelme and demolished Fremont's tower, Helinmart was injured in the attack, the Golden Law Guard suffered heavy losses, and the country began to become turbulent.

Since the twin queens ascended the throne, the electors who originally thought they could use them to regain the power taken away by the Witch King found that the twins were not as harmless as they appeared at the beginning.

Although they did regain some of the power that once belonged to them in the initial exchange of interests, this was far from all. Most of the power was still concentrated in the hands of the twin queens. Letania was still on the road to centralization and there was no turning back. This made the electors hate the twins with a vengeance.

In their view, they handed over the power of the country to the twins, but they betrayed themselves in this way.

So now that Helinmart is injured, the electors have been making small moves one after another, including but not limited to private contacts with neighboring countries, and sending spies to collect information on the current situation of the twin queens.

This turmoil even prompted the remnants of the Witch King, who had been lurking in the dark, to take action.

It is said that more than half a month ago, unusual changes occurred in the Earldom of Utica, the ancestral territory of the Utica family to which the Witch King once belonged. The tower of the Earl of Utica suddenly collapsed, and the Earl also escaped from his tower.

But they didn't know more detailed information, after all, they didn't have any relevant intelligence personnel in the Earldom of Utica.

But in Trilinterme, more than twenty days... almost twenty-three days ago in the western part of the city, the Golden Rule Guards were ordered to capture a team of tower sorcerers. In the sorcerers' residences, they found a large number of blasphemous books and records related to the Witch King, which seemed to mention something quite terrifying. But for the same reason, they could not find out what it was. They only knew that since then, the entire Trilinterme began the highest level of martial law, and the gendarmes began to patrol in shifts almost 24 hours a day. Sometimes, the Golden Rule Guards could even be seen in the city.

A few days ago, military police raided an artist's exhibition and took away several paintings of unknown significance.

Although the authorities have not yet given a clear explanation, people privately say that those paintings are also related to the Witch King.

It has been less than 20 years since the shadow of the Witch-King faded from Lethannia, and the elders who were once shrouded in the shadow of Never Forget have not forgotten that fear.

Now, all the strange things happening in the city have made this fear spread wildly inside the city like an opened Pandora's box, causing panic among the people of Trilinterme. Everyone is afraid that the tyrant who once ruled Leithania for more than a hundred years will return to the country.

Although I didn't have a very intuitive feeling, after listening to the pencil holder's description of the chaos in Leithania today, I felt that the aftermath of Tracys' attack on Trilinterme was too far-reaching.

But after all, it was a direct attack on a country's capital and injured one of its leaders. From a diplomatic perspective, it was simply rubbing the country's dignity on the ground, so it is understandable that it could cause such turmoil.

"So, should we just take action next, Amiya?"

Rosemary didn't pay much attention to what the pencil holder said. Those things were still a bit too complicated for the kitten. Now she was just wondering how long it would take to complete this task.

"...Let's act now. Right now, Leitania is in turmoil. Hesitating and considering every possibility will only lead us into a quagmire of chaos. Our mission is simple, with only one goal: to bring Mr. Frémont back. Beyond that, anything else happening in this country has no bearing on our current mission. Assuming there's no humanitarian crisis involved, we must prioritize ourselves and complete our mission."

"clear."

Lin Guang and the other four also had serious expressions on their faces, and Ermengarde, among them, could no longer hold back her urge to act. Although it was only a little over a month, this period of time seemed like a lifetime to her.

Teacher, I'm here to save you.

And...Wright.

Thinking of his junior fellow apprentice, a trace of loneliness flashed across Ermengarde's eyes.

Unlike himself and his teacher, who were liches and could be resurrected as long as their lives were not destroyed, Light, as a Caprini, did not have such magical abilities. He was just an ordinary Caprini who practiced martial arts diligently.

The Blood Demon Lord drained all the blood in his body. Not to mention that it has been more than a month now, even at that time, it would have been impossible to save him.

Let's complete the mission and rescue the teacher first. If there is still time after rescuing the teacher, then go and ask those fellow tribesmen whether they helped Wright collect the bodies at that time. If so, she wants to go and see.

"Miss Ermengarde."

Amiya patted Ermengarde's shoulder. When the latter came to his senses, he found that everyone around him was looking at him with concern. Only then did he realize that his eyes had been wet without him noticing.

"Sorry, I remembered some not-so-happy things."

Ermengarde whispered an apology, but Amiya shook her head and looked at the little lich gently.

"There's no need to apologize, Miss Ermengarde. We all know the cruel memories that past brought you. We understand your sadness now that you've revisited that place. But don't worry, everything will be fine soon. Mr. Frémont, we will definitely be able to save him. Please believe me."

Ermengarde stared at Amiya in a daze, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Ah."

But at this moment, a white and tender little hand suddenly touched Ermengarde's forehead. It was Rosemary.

The kitten gently stroked the lich's forehead, as if she was stroking a small animal. From her expression, it seemed that she wanted to touch the top of Ermengarde's head at first, but because of her height she couldn't reach it, so she had to settle for touching Ermengarde's forehead.

"That will be better."

"Ok?"

Ermengarde looked at Rosemary in confusion, not understanding why the little Philin suddenly touched his forehead.

"Sometimes, when I see doctors and medical equipment, I get sad and... angry. That's how Amiya comforts me. Ermengarde was unhappy just now, so I acted like this."

The kitten's eyelashes, as white as its hair, flickered, reflecting the sunlight like ice crystals.

Ermengarde felt as if her nonexistent heart had been shot by an arrow, and the kitten in front of her seemed to be glowing all over.

"Thank...Thank you."

Trying to calm herself down, Ermengarde spoke with a stutter, but her rosy cheeks made Amiya, Lin Guang and others try hard not to laugh out loud.

It seems that even the lich who claims to regard knowledge as life has no way to resist some cute things.

"Thank you for the information you provided. Since time is of the essence, we will leave now."

"Can't you take a break? It's not a short journey from Longmen to here. It won't take much time to rest and refresh yourself before continuing the mission."

Pencil Holder didn't know that Rhodes Island now had a buggy prop called the Anywhere Door, so he thought that Amiya and the others had rushed here from Lungmen. They were so exhausted along the way that they couldn't even eat properly, and they must have been very tired.

"It's okay, we've already rested before, thank you."

As Amiya said this, Pencil Holder didn't try to persuade her to stay, but just looked at the backs of the group and muttered to herself.

"They're really rushing it. But Amiya and the others were talking about rescuing Mr. Fremont. Is this mission a rescue mission? I haven't heard that Leitania is taking in anyone named Fremont who's related to Rhodes Island."

The pencil holder was muttering to himself, but he didn't notice the other colleague next to him who had a pale face.

"Um, the pencil holder."

"Huh? What's wrong? You look so ugly."

The pencil holder felt a little strange when he saw the other person's ugly expression. What happened? Did he see something scary or something?

The former looked around with some caution, but didn't see any strange guys lurking around. Besides, there has been martial law recently. Who would come to attack the Rhodes Island office, a small place that is usually avoided, at this time?

"No, not outside. It's what Amiya and the others said just now."

"What? You tell me."

Seeing the other party's hesitant look, the pencil holder became very angry.

What he hates most in his life is people who leave things unsaid. Just say whatever you want to say. What's the point of hemming and hawing?

The other party also saw that Pencil Holder didn't realize that there was anything wrong with what Amiya had just said, so he immediately stepped forward and closed the door of the office. Then he watched Pencil Holder carefully as he slowly spoke in the other party's impatient eyes.

"Just now, didn't Amiya and the others mention the name Frémont?"

"Yes, Frémont. I've never heard of that name, and the intelligence I've received recently doesn't mention anyone named Frémont being captured in Trilinterme."

The other party looked at the pencil holder with a look of disappointment on his face, and in frustration, he punched the other party on the head.

"Where did I not mention Fremont? Where did I not mention it? You are just not careful at work."

"Hiss, are you sick? Look where I mentioned that. Why did you hit me?"

The man did not answer the question about the pencil holder, but took out a notebook from the cabinet next to him and pointed to the newspaper clipping on it.

"Look here!"

"This is... huh? This is a newspaper about the attack on Ludwig University. This is..."

Looking at the name on it, the pencil holder's expression became serious.

"Fremont."

The colleague opposite nodded at this time.

"Yes, Fremont. One of the two victims in the Ludvid University attack was a student named Light, and the other was this Fremont, a magic professor at Ludvid University."

When hearing this, the pencil holder's face changed.

"Are you saying that the target of Amiya and the others' mission to Trilintelme actually died over a month ago?"

The operator also looked conflicted, as if he didn't believe this either.

"If Trillintelme didn't have a second one named Frémont, that's what it would be."

Pencil Holder paced back and forth for a while, he couldn't understand, could it be that the ship didn't determine the mission objectives in advance before carrying out the mission?

Is it because of martial law that Trilintel has no internal intelligence and can't pass it on? That shouldn't be the case. Something directly published in the newspaper shouldn't be impossible to pass on.

Pencil Holder couldn't understand and could only look at his colleague.

"Such an important thing, why didn't you tell Amiya just now?"

"I admit that I was so surprised that I didn't react at all. When I came to my senses, Amiya and the others had already walked away."

Pencil Holder immediately opened the door and looked into the distance, but he could no longer see Amiya and the others. After such a long time, they must have walked a long distance.

"Use the communication station to connect to Rhodes Island's dedicated communication channel. Maybe we can contact Amiya and the others. We must inform them of this matter."

The pencil holder's eyes flickered continuously, and at that moment many things were going through his mind.

"This matter is big or small. If Amiya and the others just haven't verified the accurate information, then it's fine. But if there are people specifically involved..."

What if someone is deliberately using false information to trap our ship?

"Okay, I'll contact Amiya right away... Who are you?"

However, just when the operator wanted to contact Amiya through the communication station, he suddenly saw a group of people wearing black robes and masks approaching the door of the office.

Those people were aggressive and looked quite gloomy. It was obvious at first glance that they were not good people.

The one who comes is not kind.

Pencil Holder looked at the group of guys who surrounded them. They were a group of magicians, a group of tower magicians. How could these guys, who were supposed to be in the noble tower to please the noble lord, appear here?

Coming to cause trouble for Rhodes Island.

"Everyone, don't panic. We are here just to ask you something. We hope you will cooperate."

"What do you want to ask?"

The pencil holder looked at the number opposite.

3...4...5...6, six tower magicians. If I launch a surprise attack, I might be able to take one away, but these well-trained guys are not vegetarians. I can only take one away at most, and the remaining five can easily wipe out the entire office.

It’s better to ask the other party what they need first.

"Who were those people just now? Where did they go?"

Amidst the expressions of the pencil holders, more people in black robes suddenly emerged from behind the team of tower magicians, and a symbol that was familiar to him and considered taboo in Leithania appeared on their bodies.

"You are the Witch King..."

Chapter 326 Crow Mouth: I have the right to call my lawyer

"According to our previous agreement, our public announcement has already stated that Professor Fremont of Ludwig University's Department of Magic has died in a terrorist attack. In return, you told us that you would lead those individuals out. But now a month has passed, and there's been no progress on this matter...why hasn't there been any progress at all?"

Inside the Black Tower, Helinmart, whose injuries had not yet healed, stared at "Fremont" in front of him with eyes as sharp as swords.

In a sense, as a magical android, the "Fremont" in front of her is actually the same role as her and Liselotte's father, but the moment she becomes the Queen of Leitania, this relationship will never appear again.

The Lich clan can only become Leithania's shadow.

This has been the tacit consensus reached by successive rulers since this group of Sarkaz moved into Leithania.

And the lich's transcript was actually the emperor's father or something, which was absolutely unacceptable.

Moreover, they had no affection for the old lich in front of them. After all, the other party did not treat them as his own children.

"Well, it can't be said that they are completely motionless. At least we found out that they are from Victoria, right?"

Flemont, transformed from a shapeshifter, stroked his goatee, already accustomed to arguing with the Queen before him.
