In late September 1092, after a long journey, Zhou Jinru finally approached Kazdaele. He spent nearly half a year on the road, non-stop, passing through three countries, crossing the wilderness, and being covered in dust.
Arriving at the holy place in Sakaz's heart, Zhou Jinru couldn't help but slow down the car. On the one hand, he wanted to have more time to prepare, and on the other hand, he also considered not irritating the fragile nerves of the Sakaz people.
He changed into a black coat and put on a mask that he had not used for a long time. While concealing his identity, he also made it easier to find opportunities to get close to that person.
But things did not develop in the direction Zhou Jinru expected. He happened to bump into another person on the road.
A Sakaz man with short dark red hair blocked the way. To be precise, it was a group of Sakaz, forcing Zhou Jinru to stop.
"Where are you from?"
"I'm not aware of any Kazdaele officers setting up traffic here to question people passing by."
The Sakaz man with dark red short hair couldn't help but laugh: "I'm not one of those military committee members who seem to be incompatible with each other, and what you say is of no use to me. Let's put it this way, I just want to stop you."
This man's name is Hedley, and he is a mercenary manager. He also has a boss whose code name is the letter W.
Zhou Jinru warned: "If I were you, I would never do this."
He doesn't want to take action yet. If Hedre is willing to retreat, then everything will be easy.
If this guy insists on blocking him, then give him some trouble.
"Well, it seems you must go there."
Hedley waved his hand, and the Sakaz people behind him dispersed with a roar to make way.
Zhou Jinru snorted: "Are you just kidding me?!"
"Maybe. Can I ask, where do you want to go?"
“You don’t know the places Kazdaele can go?”
The Sarkazi man pressed his sword with one hand and held his chin with the other: "I guess you must want to see Her Highness Theresia, but there are countless people in Kazdael who want to see her every day. Where can you line up?"
Zhou Jinru didn't say anything and drove away.
Looking at the direction of the locomotive going away, Hedley murmured: "Why are they both willing to go to Her Majesty Theresia? Can they really give up everything for the so-called ideal? But that is too beautiful. Is the ideal really possible to realize?”
If it weren't for W, Hedley would have gone to Kazdare's Tower of Babel to find out what was going on.
While he was in a daze, a young woman's voice came to his ear: "Hey, Hedley, you are in a daze again. What are you thinking about? Shouldn't your head be empty?"
"Don't make trouble, Ines. After your investigation, did you find anything unusual?"
The young woman named Ines put away her smile and said with a serious expression: "The troops affiliated with the Military Commission are being redeployed. The specific information is not something that second-rate mercenaries like us can know, but one thing is for sure, Tracys There must be a fierce battle between His Highness and His Highness Theresia!”
"The Kazdaele Civil War, it's not the first time it's happened anyway, there's nothing we can do about it."
He asked curiously: "Ines, you usually say good things about Her Majesty Theresia, why have you shut up now?"
Ines laughed and said: "Hedley, is there nothing in your head? There is that terrible man beside Her Highness Theresia. Do you think there is anything that he can't handle? Guess what you are eating tonight?" ?”
Hedley nodded secretly. That doctor was so powerful. Even if the troops that could be mobilized were only one-third of the opponent's, he could still win the impossible battles by continuously issuing orders to adjust the position of each troop. .
"The small talk ends here. Let's go. Don't keep W waiting too long. He is impatient and might engage in some shocking behavior again."
…
As we get closer and closer to the core area of Kazdale, we can see more Sarkarz on the road. For most people, life will always go on, regardless of whether they are tribesmen who have just arrived or people who have just arrived. The Sakaz people, who have been settled for several years, barely maintain the basic structure of society.
Surprisingly, no combatants were seen on the road, and even the police officers maintaining public security in the city were missing.
There were very few pedestrians on the road, and even if there were, most of them were holding their belongings and looking for a place to stay.
It seems that the civil war is inevitable. It will start in the autumn and may not end in the summer of next year.
As for how to sneak into the Tower of Babel, he hasn't figured it out yet. Maybe he doesn't need to sneak into the Tower of Babel and just walks in boldly.
Due to the tense situation, it took Zhou Jinru a long time to find the location of the Tower of Babel, thinking that he would definitely not be able to contact it directly, because it was very likely that he would meet himself in this era, which he did not want to see.
"stop!"
A sharp scolding came from behind, and Scout wearing a top hat walked quickly and stopped in front of him.
"I seem to have never seen you before. Who are you, where are you from, and who can prove your identity?"
A barrage of questions was thrown at him, and even if Zhou Jinru answered it himself, Scout might not believe it.
As a senior member of the Tower of Babel, he had every reason to be suspicious of anyone trying to get close to the Tower.
"I can't prove anything. I came from the Sami Icefield, passing through Casimir, Victoria, Ursus and Letania, just to hear you tell me who I am."
Facing Zhou Jinru's question, the Sakaz man seemed to want to say something more. Suddenly, he lowered his head and showed the greatest respect.
A disembodied female voice asked, "What are you arguing about?"
"Nothing, Your Highness. Someone wants to sneak into the Tower of Babel. I just stopped him. Now is a special time and we have to deal with it carefully. Maybe he is an agent of Tracys."
As an intelligence officer, Scout's suspicions are not unreasonable.
The princess in a white dress looked at the silent man. After a few seconds, she whispered: "No need, he has no problem, you can go and do your work."
"yes."
Scout turned around and left without any doubts about the princess's words.
After a long time, Zhou Jinru looked at Theresa opposite and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, thank you for your help. Thank you very much. I have something else to do..."
"I guess your matters are not that important, so you can put them aside for now."
The white skirt's words left Zhou Jinru speechless. He traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers to get here, but in the end he didn't know what to say.
"Maybe."
"Come with me, don't refuse, just think of it as you repaying me."
Zhou Jinru was silent for a few seconds, looked at Theresia's back, and couldn't help but follow her.
