The small town of Alvita in the north of Green Forest City was the fief of Baron Suarez, Ruth's husband. Baron Suarez died a year ago, and Ruth was sentenced by the Chinese, so the town was controlled by Baron Suarez's cousin Amigo. However, even without Ruth's help, the Chinese easily captured the town after they came here with their army. Since the war has begun, they don't need to talk about blood, inheritance and status.
The town was captured by the third regiment of the guard led by Li Tianrui, accompanied by masters such as Luo Ling, Anar, and Glade. When Amigo saw the army coming, he surrendered without hesitation. Although he had been struggling here for a year, his foundation was too shallow and there were not many knights who obeyed his orders. Therefore, he did not have the intention of resisting at all.
Li Tianrui requisitioned the original Baron's Mansion as the headquarters of the regiment. Luo Ling and others naturally lived here. In an office, sitting opposite Luo Ling and Intelligence Department agent Li Ze was the acting lord Amigo.
"Are you sure the person who asked you about Ackley and Julio was from the Shadow Group of the Temple of Nature?" Luo Ling asked.
"That's right. Mr. Luo Ling, they also found out about this through other people. However, the middleman has a close relationship with me and reminded me not to annoy them and it's best to stay away from their affairs." Amigo said.
Luo Ling asked: "What kind of person was the last one you met?"
"It was a man in black. He didn't tell me his name, but gave me a nickname. He said he was called the Black Archer."
"The archer in black? It turned out to be true. What did he ask you?" Luo Ling asked.
"She asked me about Ruth's family, especially Ackley and Julio's personalities. But I'm pretty familiar with Ackley because I used to go hunting with him when my cousin was around. But I'm not that familiar with Julio. I've only met him a few times at aristocratic gatherings."
"Has he ever cared about the relationship between Ackley and Julio?" Luo Ling asked.
"Yes. Mainly to ask if Ackley cares about Julio and if he still cares about him." Amigo said.
Luo Ling said: "I see, thank you for the information. Go ahead."
"I'm always at your disposal," said Amigo.
After Amigo left,
Li Ze said: "This matter can be basically confirmed. We have checked several aspects of information and they can basically confirm each other."
"Then Ackley should be informed." Luo Ling said. She asked the orderly to find Ackley and said that she had something important to discuss with him.
Ackley refused to join the Guards last time after the loyalty test. After being released from prison, he was assigned to the River Bend Construction Company as a person of special talent. Since he was unwilling to use his fighting spirit to fight, let him use it to work. A warrior like him who has already stepped into the advanced level at the peak of the intermediate level, whether it is building a camp or building a bridge, his strength and speed are much faster than ordinary people. On the construction site, he can replace more than four or five ordinary workers.
However, when the school fully participated in the war, considering that there would be repair and expansion work after attacking the city, the Hewan Engineering Construction Company also sent out two teams to follow the two armies in the north and south respectively.
When Ackley arrived at Luo Ling's temporary office, he was still wearing work clothes, and there was a lot of mud on his body. He looked up at Luo Ling and another young man he didn't know in the room, and asked, "Mr. Luo Ling, what can I do for you?"
Luo Ling said, "It's been a while since you last took the loyalty test. We conducted some more tests afterwards, and during these tests, we discovered some strange phenomena that seemed to be related to some of the characteristics of the memory beads."
Ackley listened quietly, and perhaps sensing that it was related to his test, he frowned slightly.
“We discovered that the things that the test subjects experienced in the Memory Pearl were not simply illusions or dreams, but were related to things in the real world. Some of the future scenes and events that the test subjects encountered during the test actually happened in reality.
This kind of incident is rare, and we have only identified three or four so far. Moreover, the performance of the real incident is not exactly the same as that in the illusion, and the ending is also different, but we can still distinguish them clearly, because what happened is something that the subjects could never have thought of in advance. "
Ackley said, "You came to me to say this, so I guess something similar to what I encountered in the test happened in real life?"
Luo Ling said: "Yes, we found a group of men in black who were targeting your brother Julio. The leader was called 'Black Archer'."
Ackley's hands suddenly grabbed the edge of the table, his teeth clenched on his lower lip, and blood was immediately drawn. "Black Archer? The organization that kidnapped my brother in exchange for information actually exists? Why is this happening!"
Luo Ling said, "We consulted a wizard who has deep knowledge of space. He suspected that the holy artifact, the Memory Bead, might be able to detect information about parallel worlds, and then bring it into the world of creation as material for weaving dreams. In other words, it is very likely that what you see is what has happened or is happening in another world."
"So everything could be like the dream I experienced, and Julio would really die?" Ackley said.
"It depends on how we do it. I called you here for this. I'll give you a chance to join the army and save Julio." Luo Ling looked at Ackley and said.
Ackley said in a deep voice: "In my fantasy, I met the Black Archer in the training camp. According to the time comparison, it should have passed the time when the Black Archer came to find me.
However, in the illusion, I passed the test and was released immediately, but in this world, I was locked up for a while. Those who wanted to get intelligence would not expect anything from a person locked up in prison, so they did not take any action. Now that I have been released from prison and started to get involved in engineering construction, they may not be interested in this intelligence. Only now that I have started to stay with the army, I have come into their sight. "
"That's a reasonable analysis, but they have already started to act." Li Ze pulled out a few photos from a file bag. "Rodman is also a soldier who passed the loyalty test. He was inexplicably killed outside the recruit camp before. We had no clue at the time, but now it seems that he may be your replacement."
