"I know what you mean, but there's always someone else to know about it."

Tres took a puff of his pipe, which was a habit he had developed during his eight years as an undercover agent. The inspector knight shook his head slightly: "Although Lord Marquis is not a great knight, he is also a major faction of our knights. There is nothing to hide. Although confidentiality needs to be kept between departments, at least it should be clear internally who is who.”

"you're right."

Ian sighed, not intending to refute Tres.

The internal power distribution of the Patrol Knights is that the leader and two deputy leaders are the highest commanders, and the third-level knights are united under several commanders, and under the knights, there are also their own squads , retinues and apprentices.

The Marquis of Badun is considered a quite independent department. He is neither the commander nor any grand knight. He is directly subordinate to His Majesty the Emperor and is responsible for border military affairs.

And a first-level patrol knight apprentice like Ian actually belongs to the category that still needs to 'continue training'... Only after passing the qualification can he go on a mission.

"But you shouldn't need to--people from Marquis Barton are considered qualified as long as they are recommended. The old general's assessment is very strict, and many great knights who have met him feel very scary."

Tres didn't talk much on weekdays. The reason why he explained to Ian enthusiastically was mainly because the young man had been leading him. With his curious attitude, his status as a junior, his satisfied praise and his admiring eyes, this quite He spoke a little more for the knight who liked other people's respectful looks.

Maybe more than a little.

In short, this knight brother is also an undercover agent who has been away from the organization for more than eight years. He cannot tell much really valuable information about the current patrol knights.

Of course, saying that, Tres is not ignorant of everything. After all, he has reached the middle and senior level of the organization. He has been to the imperial capital several times to deliver information. He also has special informants to obtain information on weekdays, so we can only say Not particularly familiar, rather than the message being delayed.

"Who are those people? It goes without saying that they are Feiyandi."

Hearing Ian's question, the brown-haired knight said firmly: "It's the nail that Feiyandi planned to put in our place. At first, it used local gangs and the Ascendant organization as a cover-up, but after it has grown in recent times, there have been many Members of the special operations brigade from Shaofei Yandi have settled in."

"They were quite cautious, but because they reached out to the Imperial Capital, I was put in to check out the situation... After realizing there was a big fish behind them, I lurked among them and passed messages back and forth."

It sounds like he said a lot, but in fact Tres only briefly described his undercover career without revealing any key information.

Ian was also very curious about this: "Then what is the purpose of this group of Flying Flame agents' actions this time?"

"Is it really about attacking the participants of the Gushan Conference and obtaining that... leyline source crystal?"

"It should be. But I actually don't know what the Earth Vein Source Crystal is, and I don't know if it is on this train at all. It might just be false news, after all, we really didn't find it just now."

Tres nodded, and the undercover knight's expression was quite serious: "In this organization, I am just a peripheral member. Well, I have some status. But only people from Feiyandi can be core members. Others, like We undercover agents, and the few captured imperial traitors, are all peripheral personnel of local development."

"I also tried to infiltrate several times and become a high-level person. When I found that I couldn't succeed, I decided to end the undercover operation - otherwise, I would definitely be able to find out the headquarters of the Flying Flame spy organization in the Western Province!"

——Haha, then you may have to find Archduke Thorin.

Ian laughed in his heart, but his expression outside was still astonished: "So that's it - then why do they use the name of the Dragon Worship Cult? I mean... do they want to blame the Dragon Worship Cult?"

"perhaps."

Tres took a bite of the pork ribs and shook his head: "This is all done by Kyle, the guy I injected with the paralysis toxin. We just need to execute it, the plan is never clear."

This answer can be regarded as an answer, and Ian learned some key information from it.

——Has Xiou’s identity really been exposed?

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but feel worried. He raised his hand and held the pendant in front of him.

——Since the people of Flying Flame Land really know Xiou’s identity... then, thinking that they have hidden it well, they are going to the Western Region to eradicate Xiou and Lubeck of the Flying Flame Land Special Forces Brigade...

Is it really safe?

Although Ian has not heard any news about this in the possible history of the Insect Hive Path, apart from the possibility that Feiyandi was instantly killed by the Mountain King, it is also possible that Feiyandi successfully plotted against him. The possibility of the King of the Mountain or his child!

"I hope Long is okay."

With this thought in his mind, the exchange between Ian and Tres came to an end, and Ian returned to his seat.

"What did you talk about with that gentleman knight?"

As soon as the young man sat down, Hua An asked curiously.

This is certainly not pure curiosity - even if the goblin is innocent, he would not ask others like this.

Of course, in the inherent prejudice of ordinary people, goblins do do this, just like ordinary people think that alchemists are all explosions and poison maniacs.

In fact, this is a 'disguise' that Ian asked Miss Hua An to perform.

"Come, Miss Hua An, and Frost Butterfly."

Ian raised his hand and made a lowering gesture. He smiled and said softly: "I have a secret to tell you."

The young man said this, feeling the fluctuations of wind essence flashing around him.

He smiled.

"I have a friend named Isengard. Isengard Ellen. In addition to delivering a message to Marquis Barton, the main reason why I came to the Imperial Capital is because I made an appointment with him to meet in the Imperial Capital."

"We are comrades who fought together in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea. His teacher, the alchemist Master Gosei, is also an elder who thinks highly of me."

"And he himself is also the youngest son of Marquis Ellen... Generally speaking, Ethan has a great background, and I helped him a lot in the maze."

"It was at his invitation that I came to the Imperial Capital to develop and study."

Ian told the truth, but it was partly the truth.

It was natural for him to tell this information to Miss Hua An who was traveling with him, but it must have had other meanings in the ears of the Inspector Knight: "Before I took this train, I used a communication device to contact him. He knew that I It’s in this car.”

"Then we encountered this attack that looked quite critical, but was actually not dangerous."
