old dream

Chapter 397

The alliance and the dark river have indeed been confronting each other, but in the final analysis, confrontation is also a way of communicating and getting along.

After getting along so fiercely for nearly 600 years, the alliance and the dark river are already very familiar.Once an opportunity is found, of course the other party will be put to death, but occasionally when necessary, they will not shy away from cooperating secretly.

What's more, the alliance itself is a loose organization, and each member has his own calculations in his heart. No matter how these princes express their stance on the surface, they may not actually list Anhe as their most important enemy.

Now the commander-in-chief will stand behind Nancy, and may even be instructed by Baidu. Although this kind of thing seems a bit bizarre, it is by no means the first time in history.

But looking at this secret report, another question arose in Colin's heart:
When did the commander-in-chief and Anhe cooperate with each other?

"Could it be" he began to understand something:
"The commander always knew?"

Rui spread his hands slightly:

"Well, do you want to guess who the provider of the 'Magician Information' is?"

This line has always been in charge of Rui Rui, and Rui Yi is also from the underground river, so the answer is ready to come out:
"...It's Nancy?" Colin stringed out the answers.

"Well, the current 'magician' is Nancy."

Incumbent, it seems that this kind of tacit cooperation has already begun.

No wonder.

The people in Building No. [-] of Baidu are not trash, and it is impossible to infiltrate them so easily.

Of course, it doesn't mean that infiltration is impossible, but this kind of thing often happens in those bloated departments with hundreds of logistics personnel, or in certain large foreign intelligence stations.

Like the Pigeon Dung Investigation Department, a cunning commander with decades of experience stares at two or three cats, big and small. It is basically impossible for this kind of intelligence station to go wrong.

The commander always knew their identities, but he could not know them at any time.

So once there is a problem with Colin or Rui, he can completely separate the relationship.

Even, maybe this cooperation itself was instigated by Baidu.

Nancy seems to be acting alone, but she is always accompanied by shadows of one kind or another along the way.

Therefore, the people who stared at the Principality were far more than just the Anhe family.

It's just that they don't know to what extent they can perceive the hidden crown under the nose of a certain building.

After receiving the commander's secret order, the investigation department began to implement it that day.

After Rui and Amir, the two intelligence officers, used their network of contacts, Nancy's side became obviously busier.

Just like Ke Lin's first reaction, with the presence of the investigation department, although there were only a few insignificant intelligence officers, it was enough to make people suspect that this was a sign that Bai Du was about to end.

Therefore, more forces began to let go of their concerns. Even if they had not made a decision, they were still sending representatives in private, trying to gain more benefits for themselves before the dust settled.

All this is said to be done in secret, but the blatant appearance of some people is a bit scary.Because some people have simply gone all out, not shy about being seen by anyone, running around in a hurry, and even started organizing some rallies by themselves.

Nancy had to change her location almost every two hours. Some Yemin advised her to pay attention to safety, or simply suspend meetings with outsiders, but Nancy felt that some risks had to be taken.

Because many conflicts were initially caused by suspicion and misjudgment due to opaque information.But once a conflict breaks out, it's hard to get over it.

Even if only some preliminary intentions can be reached among the many local forces in the principality, and the specific details still need a long period of work, this is a key step to avoid future turmoil.

It's just that no one expected that this conspiracy would turn from semi-public to public almost uncontrollably like a wild horse, and it would evolve into this scene in full swing.

Because it was only then that they realized that almost everyone had reached the limit of their patience with the Edmund family.

Another group of visitors were sent away. While helping Nancy transfer, Colin began to silently count the various voices he heard these days:
The church has swallowed the blood feud of prophecy.

The citizens of Danalore have suffered from depression.

The garment industry, which used to be the largest source of tax revenue, has run out of water.

Professional civil servants are in constant fear because they are sent to prison in turn.

The Ninth inning resented its increasingly snubbed status.

Outside the country, other princes are coveting this gateway, but Edmund's legal legacy as a holy king is the most unspeakable obstacle in their hearts.

However, the army of the principality has always had the ghost of General Vanus, who lingers.

It turned out that so many people were dissatisfied in their hearts, but they never had a chance to speak out.

In fact, before returning to Stade, Colin still had doubts about whether things would go well and whether the Grand Duke would just die like that.If, in the end, the theater ceremony didn't take effect as expected, wouldn't everything be in vain?But looking at the scene where Nancy's threshold was almost broken, he felt slightly at a loss, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling relieved.

Perhaps most importantly, it was never whether the Grand Duke would die or not.

But to make people believe that the Grand Duke will die.

As long as people believe this, it doesn't matter whether the Grand Duke will actually die or not.

Because what people believe, what will become true.

There are many things that are already a foregone conclusion when they start guessing.

"Now, it's time to untie the barrier of the Grand Duke."

Colin looked at Emil and said to him a little worriedly.

They had just come out of a minister's mansion, and the emir looked normal, but his arms were shaking constantly.The contacts and lobbying these days were undoubtedly a direct attack on Edmund, which triggered the heart barrier Emil had set for himself, causing this man with celadon eyes to fall into panic attacks from time to time.

"Ah yes."

He wiped the sweat off his face with trembling hands, his lips were pale.At this time, there is no need to use those little tricks to restrain the impulse to retaliate against Edmonton.

Emil felt pain all over his body, but felt inexplicably happy in his heart:

"I've started to de-hint, but to be honest... I've been obsessed too much, so it's not going very well."

Manipulating your own mind is never easy.He tried his best not to expose anything in front of the minister just now.

Emil tried to calm his tone, but it didn't work.The recent seizures were indeed getting worse, so he turned to Colin, and said, somewhat half-pleadingly:
"I've been holding myself back from remembering that event for years, and now, finally, I can. I feel like I have to say something. Can you listen to me? Even if it's not an interesting story, everyone else in the investigation department is witnessing it Or, they also feel pain, so the only person I can confide in is you."
