Chapter 658 Tracy: I am so tired and want to retire
The Shard.
Tracy's eyebrows were lowered, lost in his own thoughts.
A stack of documents lay quietly on the table in front of him, recording the turbulent events outside the city of Londinium during this period.
"The situation has not deviated from the plan, except for Qi Yan... Alas."
Life is not easy, Tracy sighed.
With Manfred being captured, Theresa led the barely completed airship out for testing, and Theresis found that there was no available helper at hand.
"The Scavengers are busy on the front lines outside the city, the Shapeshifters are trying to go undercover, and the Blood Demon... never mind, let's not talk about him."
Tracy rubbed his brows and said, "Even the Pardoner is planning to leave the city. This time he is destined to come into contact with Qi Yan. I hope that the fate of the Blood Demon will serve as a warning to him."
Tracy turned his attention to some other documents.
Those were the resources and the Sarkaz team he had assigned, and they would soon be heading to the Kazdel Nursing Home outside the city to provide support.
This is the only action that makes Tracy feel gratified at the moment.
Just as he was about to pick up the document again to check for omissions and fill in the gaps for the umpteenth time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in."
Tracy gave up picking up the document and saw Sarkaz pushing the door open and asked:
"Have you finished your operation to drive out Rhodes Island and the Self-Defense Army?"
"Yes, it's over." Sarkaz said honestly.
Then he fell silent, as if waiting for instructions.
Tracy pursed his lips and reminded:
"Report the results to me."
"Yes!" Sarkaz was obviously a little nervous, and dared to speak only after receiving instructions, "After we discovered Qi Yan's whereabouts, we immediately led people to follow him and found and surrounded the Duke of Cumberland's Mansion. Then we used artillery shells to alert them.
The result was just as the Regent had expected. They immediately chose to retreat, and when we entered the Duke's Mansion, no one was there."
After the report, Sarkaz fell silent again.
Tracy took a breath and asked:
"Did they leave any message?"
"Yes, they left some words."
The Sarkaz adhered to the trend of asking and answering questions one by one, answering whatever Tracy asked and not mentioning a single word that was not asked.
Tracy's fists were a little stiff, and he said helplessly:
"Tell me everything at once. Don't just answer whatever I ask."
“…Regent, I…I can’t read.” Sarkaz said weakly.
Tracy: "..."
He picked up the water glass on the table and took a big sip to suppress the emotions churning in his chest.
Then Tracy took a deep breath and said:
"Didn't I assign a literate teammate to your team?"
"He...he flew." Sarkaz said in horror.
Tracy:?
This time, Sarkaz finally didn't let Tracys ask further questions and took the initiative to explain:
"He was hit by a huge rock at his feet, and the impact threw him nearly ten meters away. Although his life is not in danger, he has fallen into a coma and will not wake up in a short time.
I feel like he must have become stupid from reading so much. He didn't even know to dodge when a rock flew from behind him. He just kept bragging to us. Is this the side effect of knowledge? It's terrible."
Tracy felt a tightness in his chest.
The Sarkaz had lost another rare talent.
"Next time your companions are attacked from behind, remember to warn them when you dodge."
Knowing the temperament of these Sarkaz well, Tracy easily guessed the situation at that time. After giving them a lesson, he said tiredly: "Protect the information and don't destroy it, and then find a literate Sarkaz to complete the task.
You must protect your companions this time, and don't just run away when you encounter danger."
"Yes!"
Sarkaz agreed decisively, then turned around and ran out of the room.
Tracy looked at the door that was wide open after the other party ran out, and his brows almost formed the shape of the Chinese character "川".
"When Manfred planned the nursing home, he forgot to leave room for a school... The requirements for a school are a bit high for the Sarkaz, so let's start with a literacy class."
Tracy quickly included this idea in the document at hand, then stood up bitterly and went to close the door himself.
It was three hours later when the Sarkaz returned.
Looking at the Sarkaz who opened the door and stood in front of him panting, Tracys asked in confusion:
"I'm not rushing you. You don't have to rush. And with the physique of a Sarkaz, you shouldn't be so tired even if you ran all the way from the Duke's Mansion, right?"
"I ran for three hours and found seven or eight literate Sarkaz, but there was one message that no one could understand."
Sarkaz gasped, "They can only confirm that they are really words, but according to them, those words are written very badly, at a level that few people can understand except the writer himself.
But later, a smart man copied the words scratched on the flower mud onto paper stroke by stroke, and asked me to send it to you, the Regent, for your personal review."
"bring here."
Tracy was also intrigued and wanted to know how ugly the handwriting could be to make it unrecognizable, and who could write such ugly handwriting.
A note was handed to Tracy. He looked down and then frowned more and more.
"'Garden'... these two words should be garden, uh... I also recognized 'Sarkaz', and 'flower mud'... Could this be Qi Yan's message?"
Tracy inexplicably saw a hint of Qi Yan's shadow in the unique atmosphere of this message, and then his thoughts suddenly became clear:
"Did you destroy anything?"
"No, we just blew up a garden. What's the use of that thing?" Sarkaz said blankly.
"How is the garden now?" Tracy asked in a deep voice.
Sarkaz scratched his head and laughed:
"Originally there was a crater, but then more and more people ran around the garden trying to decipher the text, and someone pulled out all the flowers because it was too much trouble."
Tracy: "..."
He covered his head with a headache, missing Manfred more and more.
Even if Manfred was not there, the mercenary leader named Hedley would be fine. In a sense, these two guys have achieved the achievement of being a pair.
"Send the order down, and have someone use the 'Life Spine' to quickly transport a batch of flowers. The garden must be planted with new flowers before Qi Yan returns."
"what?"
"Go!"
Realizing that there was something wrong with Tracy's tone, Sarkaz was frightened and quickly turned around and ran out.
Tracy's eyes widened as he looked at the door whose entire frame had been knocked off by the Sarkaz in a panic, and he felt his breathing trembling.
Then he suddenly came to his senses and shouted loudly:
"Wait, report the rest of the information to me first!"
"I'm coming."
Sarkaz, who was still hanging on the door frame, hurried back upon hearing the noise and reported:
"The other two pieces of information are very simple. They are that the hostage exchange location is agreed to be in the Norbert District, and that there is a steam mecha in the attic. It is an item traded between Rhodes Island and General Manfred, and it needs to be kept safe by the Sarkaz."
Tracy:?
Manfred’s people have been kidnapped, how can he still trade with others?
Could it be that Manfred has a talent for business that even he hasn't discovered?
For a moment, Tracy didn't know whether he should doubt his life or be glad to have discovered Manfred's new strengths. In short, his mood was extremely complicated.
