old dream

Chapter 295 Sealed Dossier

"Dang, dang, dang——dang!"

In the practice field of the investigation department, the sound of dense metal collisions suddenly stopped, and the dagger bounced from Ke Lin's hand, and was nailed into the floor not far away.

The slender cavalry saber in Ellie's hand had already touched Colin's jaw, so Colin could only helplessly raise his hands to signify his surrender.In the past few days of practice, almost all ended in his defeat.

After Ellie picked up her cavalry saber, Colin found that her strength had improved a lot.The blade serves as an extension of her limbs, making her more comfortable on the chessboard of the ether.

In contrast, Colin's dagger was almost useless.

"After losing for so many days in a row, I almost lost my confidence." Ke Lin said with a wry smile.

"It's not necessary." Ellie unscrewed the kettle and took a sip, then said as a matter of course:
"After all, you are not weak, but I am too strong."

This is not bragging or modesty, but stating the facts.Ellie has absolute confidence in her peers, and she also has the capital of self-confidence.

In the beginning, Ke Lin could indeed suppress Ellie with absolute spiritual energy, but when the two agreed to limit the scale of power to the same level, the situation immediately became like this.

Colin found that he was not Ellie's opponent at all, and his advantage over her seemed to be only because of his age.

Although there was no danger to his life in the whole process, he really had never experienced such a hopeless battle.

Without the element of luck, it is impossible to win if the strength is a little lower.The ether of the two is like Ellie's chessboard, desperate to the point of being boring.

"How about changing a weapon? A dagger has no other benefits other than portability."

"I'll think about it."

Colin sighed and adjusted his posture again. Ellie also held the cavalry saber between her hands, and a cold light flowed on the steel blade.

Facing the slender cavalry saber in her hand, the short dagger in his hand was really at a disadvantage.

Maybe it's time to specialize in a weapon.

Because the human body ether limits the distance, in the witchcraft duel, the scene of close combat is actually not uncommon.

"By the way, do you know that a big man died recently?" Ellie suddenly asked in the silent confrontation.

"Earl Freed?" Colin chose the moment to get close, and replied.

"A senior adviser to the Treasury, a dignitary of the Edmund family, died last night at the 'Sword of Hill Vanus'."

That general's sword...was Nancy's handiwork.

"Danaro is very nervous right now."

Allie suddenly drew back, and the invisible spirit element and blade locked several nodes in the opponent's ether.Ke Lin had no way to avoid it, so he could only use the dagger in his hand to meet it.

"clang!"

Sparks flew, and the blades of daggers and sabers scraped harshly.Colin pressed the dagger against the sword grid. Ellie knew that she could not defeat Colin in strength, so she immediately pulled away.

"I'm still young, and I'm developing." Ellie knew that she had suffered a small loss just now, and her physical strength was a bit behind:
"After two or three years, you can stop working hard."

"Why did you suddenly mention the counselor?"

"..." Ellie was stunned for a moment, and said, "Because of this, we have a chance."

If someone attracted the Grand Duke's attention, the investigation department's space for activities would naturally expand, and she might not have to sit and get rusty all day long.

"Anyway, you did defeat me." Ellie simply put the cavalry saber back into its sheath and said:
"Because it's impossible for me to be weak, you are the one who is strong. I recognize your strength." She estimated and roughly commented:
"Well, the reliability is second only to Rui."

This is an unexpectedly high rating.

"What about Emil?" Colin put away his dagger and asked casually, thinking that he should not be higher than Rui.

"Emile?" She thought about it seriously:

"That man probably spent all his brain on coaxing women, so he is the most unreliable."

"Uh, it's not that bad..."

Colin recalled several actions with Emil. His quality is still passable, at least he is more professional than himself.

"Because he never listens to me." Allie said:
"I just looked at the photos in the office, and I recognized that the target must have been trained. But when he just came back from the scene, he said that there was no problem, and he didn't have time to do extra things. I was chasing rumors."

Elle repeated: "Being in the dark."

"What is that target?"

"A man from Otu. The name is so long that I can't remember it." Allie said:

"Rui could tell something was wrong at a glance."

Without going into too much detail, Ellie packed up her things and went to the shower.She has always been reticent, maybe she just said a few more words because she was happy to win.And Colin hardly broke a sweat, so he went directly back to the office upstairs.Rui happened to be sorting out the materials on the desk here. There were stacks of photos, pasted newspaper clippings and handwritten materials on the desktop.

It's probably been a long time since there were any missions that required combat, so even Ellie sometimes started to take charge of sorting out the desk materials.Colin asked Rui about what Allie had just mentioned.Rui just rolled his eyes and recalled for a while, and then he understood what Ellie was talking about, and he took out relevant materials from the mountain of files.

"On the surface, this person is running a charitable fund to help international students, but he is actually developing a larger group, and he seems to be collecting information." Rui Yi said while packing the materials:
"I put her on the A-list and had a different informant stare at her for 20 days a month. But even that didn't quite get the hang of it."

Colin also saw that photo, taken in public.A gentle woman is waving to the person on the side of the camera.But to be honest, he couldn't see what was wrong with this person either.

"Standing posture, arm angle, expression." Rui said:
"This man is a wizard, and his rank is not low. Ellie's hands will itch when she sees it."

"Did Emil deal with her but didn't see it?" Colin frowned.

"He was rejected by the target, maybe he was careless because he was hit." Rui said half-jokingly.

"According to the commander-in-chief, this operation should have been sealed. After all, we are about to shrink our forces. The order of this target will be adjusted from A to C. Generally speaking, the result is to be pressed in the pile of old papers and never The sun is gone."

"But Ellie has mentioned this matter to people from time to time recently, and she may still be reluctant to let it go."

Rui rubbed the kraft paper of the sealed file with his hands and said, his movements were gentle as if he was stroking the face of an old friend:
"There may be a little risk, are you willing to finish it?"

This is not an order from the commander-in-chief.So Colin thought for a while and asked back:
"Is it any good?"

Rui smiled and handed the file to him:
"of course."
