Chapter 100 Deception and Preparation for Deception
The next day, just as Gray Lint was about to discuss the task process with Alfred, Morgan found him first.
Gray Linte's heart tightened, but he said hello calmly:
"Good morning, Captain."
"Is there a problem?"
Morgan nodded without any abnormality and said:
"Previously, we instinctively believed that the 'Resentful Soul' came from the 'Rose School of Thought'. In addition, the man with the face of Kallis also deliberately spread the belief of 'The Bound God' in the 'Arm Bone Bar', which led us to
The direction of the investigation is almost always towards the 'Rose School of Thought', but now this line of thought has been proven to be misleading information. Do you have any other ideas now?"
Test me?
Gray Linte narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to be thinking.
After a moment, he spoke:
"I want to continue to investigate the group of ordinary people who have been contacted by Intis spies."
Morgan's eyes opened slightly, he breathed a secret sigh of relief, and deliberately said with a little worry:
"Whoever gains the greatest benefit is the biggest suspect. I have to say that your direction of investigating the Intis spies was very correct from the beginning."
Then, he lowered his eyelids, looked at the ground pretending to be nothing, and then said emphatically:
"The words of Emperor Russell are always so philosophical."
"But from ordinary people, it seems difficult for us to draw any results?"
"Indeed!"
But it is precisely because of this that I can reasonably delay time...
Greenlight was secretly happy, but deliberately put on a wry smile on his face, as if this was indeed the only way.
Facing an enemy who can change his appearance at will, his behavior is completely reasonable.
…………
Morgan nodded, then asked with an unintentional smile:
"You seem to have a good relationship with Lieutenant Colonel Alfred?"
He was not afraid that Greenlight would find this rude, because yesterday Alfred's care for Greenlight was not deliberately concealed. Whether it was sending him to intercept the enemy or showing favoritism to him when calculating military achievements, it was all made clear.
On the surface.
This will not arouse the resentment of his team members. On the contrary, within certain limits, unabashed favoritism can make the team members more convinced and believe in his magnanimity.
Greenlight was also not surprised by his inquiry, so he pretended to be a little surprised and said the lines he had prepared in advance:
"Captain, don't you know Lieutenant Colonel Alfred's last name?"
"Alfred Hall."
This is something that does not need to be concealed. Only Morgan has the intention, and there is no way that he would not be able to find out this kind of semi-clear information.
"Earl Hall?"
Morgan nodded suddenly, as if he had figured something out. Then he thought about it, looked clear, and said with a hint of ridicule:
"I heard that Earl Hall has a very outstanding daughter, who is known as 'Backlund's most dazzling jewel'?"
"Even in the Southern Continent, I can occasionally hear her reputation."
"She seems to be about the same age as you?"
Um?
Greenlight was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized what Morgan meant:
He thought that he was pursuing Audrey, and Alfred was happy to see it happen. Or maybe he and her were already in a relationship, and Alfred was taking care of him for the sake of his sister...
As his thoughts whirled, Glerint followed his words and forced out a shy smile:
"That's right, Captain."
"Well, when I was young, I often played with Alfred and his sister Audrey."
Morgan smiled and reminded "kindly":
"So there is such a relationship."
"Then go and say goodbye to Lieutenant Colonel Alfred. He will return to Admiral Basel to report on his duties after breakfast."
…
Going back?
But didn't he find a chance to come over with great difficulty from Basel? And he himself said that he would stay here to guard against Morgan in the next period of time.
As his thoughts turned, Greenlight remembered the task Basel had given him:
"Cooperating with Alfred, he deliberately 'leaked' the news that Calvin was going to be promoted to a saint to Morgan."
Alfred already has some ideas?
So fast?
"OK."
Greenlight put away his fake smile and crossed Morgan.
…………
In a high-end hotel reserved by Alfred and his party, in a luxurious suite.
After seeing him, Gray Linte gently turned his right wrist without saying a word:
"Keep the secret!"
Compared with Alfred's "No Eavesdropping", "Keeping Secrets" is actually more suitable for shielding induction. However, Gray Lint was not sure of his position and identity yesterday, so he did not expose it first.
"Do you have any plans?"
It was not convenient to delay at this time, so Graylint got straight to the point and directly raised his suspicions.
Alfred nodded and said:
"Instead of us secretly fabricating some phenomena that 'seem reasonable' to attract his attention, we should take the initiative to tell him. After all, he is now the 'leader' of your team, and he almost has the authority to know this information."
"However, we still have to be a little roundabout and not too obvious."
Gray Lint was thoughtful and listened quietly to the other party's narration without interrupting.
Then, Alfred continued to improve:
"Next, you have to try to tell Morgan that you and I actually have a very good relationship. Then, you spend some time looking around the city of Vertek, pretending to be looking for something. If you can pretend to be...
It would be better if you help me find something."
"This will definitely arouse Morgan's curiosity and vigilance."
"Then I will come forward and ask him to send people to clear out the people around the 'Second Beach of the He'an River'."
"This level of disclosure must have allowed him to make some guesses about our purpose! And as long as he is interested in investigating, I can easily prepare a hidden and 'real' chain of evidence for him.
"
Gray Lint raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile:
"He just asked about my relationship with you."
"What a coincidence."
"Oh, he even suspected that I was pursuing Audrey. This is really a perfect and good reason. Frankly speaking, I was very happy to accept the excuse he prepared for me."
After joking for a while, Gray Lint asked seriously:
"What date do I need to show that I'm helping you find something?"
What he meant was to ask Alfred how long it would take to prepare the "clue" specially given to Morgan.
Alfred thought for a moment and said:
“Let’s start on May 20th!”
"You can mix the investigation work in one or two places into your own tasks, mix the other one or two places into your off days, and finally 'deliberately' take a day or two off to investigate certain places, and then put the results of the investigation into
The focus is on our projected location."
"In early June, I will come to him and ask him to arrange manpower to clear the target location and assign people to guard it in shifts."
"Then there are only about ten days left in the end. Morgan should be pressed for time just enough to investigate the 'truth', but he will not have time to let the people behind him come to destroy it!"
"But I think they can always find a way to get here."
"Ok, no problem."
Gray Lint answered firmly and confidently that on May 20th, as long as he did not go crazy due to taking the magic potion, he would probably have been a "briber".
After discussing a few more details, Alfred led his team and prepared to return to Basel, waiting for the right time.
…
As long as Morgan was not aware of the fact that he had been exposed, Graylint would not be in any danger, so Alfred was not worried about his safety.
The most important thing is that even if things come to a critical juncture, Gray Linte still has at least one demigod item, which is not completely without the ability to resist. - He does not know the detailed information of the "Secret Chain", Basel only
He told him that he had prepared a demigod-level item for Gray Lint, which could use three rounds of saint-level "holy light" without any consumption.
