Chapter 827 Small town in the Alps
"Turn left in front!" Sitting in the passenger seat, Meggie said vaguely, biting the chocolate she just bought.n∈n∈,
Her father, Ferchart, sat next to him, driving on the road in this old wagon. Roads leading to remote towns in the Alps are very rugged and the signposts are even more elusive.
These roads that are also very historical, don’t even have indicator lights, because they were even taken by carriages not long ago. Fortunately, there were not many vehicles on the road, and even if they made a staggering turn, nothing would happen.
"Are you sure?" But the driver Ferchat was deeply suspicious. He looked at the sign on the right. The sign seemed to be hit by a naughty child. The arrow leading to the Alpine town was twisted and knocked into a large circle, making Ferchat unable to tell the direction at all.
Meggie rolled her cute eyes and said to Furchart, "Who is the driver?"
"I." Ferchart pointed at himself with his lips.
"Who is the guide?"
"you."
"I lead the way, are we lost?"
"No."
"No, that's right." Meggy showed her dimples and then ate a bite of the chocolate.
Ferchart looked at Meggie in the rearview mirror and showed a gratified smile. He liked this relaxed atmosphere and even hoped that Meggie would be happy all the time, but... he needed to find his missing wife.
Using the non-existent savage, Ferchart tried to grab the chocolate from Meggie's hand, but failed. In a hustle and cheerful, "Turn left! Turn left!", the two stepped onto the road towards the Alpine town.
But what the two of them didn't know was that in the hotel not far behind them, a group of well-moved F-force agents had moved into their previous destination.
Using his power, Zas directly voided several tickets from a plane flying to France, and then inserted his own people into it. In less than a day, they arrived in France, and then passed through the country as fast as possible and arrived in the Alps near the border.
Here, they tracked their goals.
"The license plate of that car has been found." A technical agent sat in front of the computer and stared at the screen. He typing on the keyboard and slowly citing a string of numbers, "zh5256118."
"Where are they now?" Zas asked.
"The vehicle left the main road and we couldn't track it, but it seemed that it was not the famous tourist towns, but a very remote town."
"It seems?" Zas raised his tone.
"These roads are too long and there are not enough cameras at all." The technical agent explained helplessly.
Zas nodded, but a new question formed in his heart. Why did this father and daughter come to the Alps? It was such a remote town, so it was definitely not a tourist.
After only a few seconds of delay, Zas said, "Let's leave here and follow."
The agent had told him that there was no gain here, just an ordinary place to stay, and it was meaningless to keep going, so Zas decided to continue to follow up.
Three minutes later, two black SUVs came out one after another along the hotel and quietly embarked on the route of Ferchart and his daughter...
The town at the foot of the Alps has snowflakes all year round, but the temperature is not as cold as unbearable. On the contrary, the coolness and the heavy silver snowflakes add a little historical beauty to the town.
Ferchart parked his car in an alley, threw it onto the car door, and stepped into the town's somewhat mottled marble road with Meggy.
The remote town does not seem desolate, and there are even many people living here. Their lives are very regular and so regular that they can be said to be a bit leisurely. They have plenty of time to enjoy life, and the pace of life is also very slow.
However, the crowded crowds in the square were obviously not something that a small town could bring. In fact, at the time when the two arrived at this town, it happened to be a communication meeting for book lovers.
At this time, the town was full of books, with open-air squares and streets and alleys filled with scattered book stalls, piled with the treasures of the book owners or ancient book merchants who wanted to make some money.
The father and daughter are no longer surprised by this. Over the years, they have traveled to countless cities and experienced all kinds of festivals and celebrations.
"The Alps Ancient Bookstore is on the right side of the square." Meggy said, looking at the address on the map.
Ferchart hugged Meggie's shoulder, and then the two of them walked towards the square together. Meggie's mouth was not idle along the way, "Why are the bookstores we go to so old?" She probably had guessed the answer in her heart, but Meggie didn't know the truth was even more bizarre than she thought.
“I’ve already missed the modern bookstore in New York that has hot chocolate and bestsellers,” she said.
Furchart smiled on his face, and still walked forward with Meggie, "I am a repairman, what are I doing in so many new bookstores."
“I love old books, textured paper, beautiful lining pages, leather covers.”
"I like it here," he said.
Meggy subconsciously touched the book in her pocket and said, "Maybe you'll find it here."
"What did you find?" Ferchart asked indifferently.
"The book you've been looking for."
The expression on Furchart's face moved, and he hung a helpless smile, "I don't have the book I'm looking for."
"Do you think I don't know? Every time you enter a bookstore, you have to search all corners."
"Is that?" Ferchat responded as he walked.
"But you always leave disappointed, and sometimes your eyes are red."
Ferchart casually parked in front of a cart of old bookstalls, picked up one of them, looked at the front and back, and then blew away the dust on it, "That's because there is too much dust on the old books." He said.
The father and daughter came to the Guwen Bookstore with their mouths all the way, but soon Meggie's attention was completely attracted by the books on the way. "I'm going in, are you here?" Furchat said, but Meggie ignored it completely and was still looking through the books on the book stall. "You'd better stay here." Furchat patted Meggie on the shoulder.
He walked towards the ancient bookstore. In the dark, Ferchart seemed to feel something calling him. He looked at the books behind the glass window, pushed the door and walked in.
But he didn't notice that Meggie looked at him deeply behind him.
At the same time, the two SUVs also parked not far from the town. Fortunately, people came and went to the town because of the book exchange meeting, so no one noticed these agents, otherwise they would have been noticed in normal times.
They acted quickly and made their own disguise. Even after Ferchart entered the ancient bookstore, these ordinary people disguised by agents had surrounded the place.
The young people drinking coffee beside the roadside coffee shop, the middle-aged people who were also looking at books not far from Meiji, and passers-by hiding in the surrounding houses and streets, were everywhere.
"It's ready." Ricky, who was lying on the roof of a room, whispered, his voice accurately conveyed to Zas's ears through the headset.
In fact, these f-sex don't know what they are going to do, so they are just following them now, trying to get useful clues from the two of them.
To be honest, the impact of the dragon's appearance was crazy, especially after the military had dealt with it and discovered its powerful power.
Each department wants to find the source of the dragon at all costs. Special departments that they don’t know at all also jumped out one by one. Boss gave a death order, absolutely, he must find the source of the dragon.
Because it may be the greatest discovery of the 21st century, both in military and academic fields.
Therefore, for a vague clue, the General Administration approved their direct cross-border operations, which is simply impossible in normal times. F force has strict regulations, but in the face of sufficient interests, all this can be abandoned.
There was no clue about the dragon and they were completely confused. The one Jim tracked down was the only clue. No matter how absurd or unreliable this clue was, it was also the only source they could believe.
The girl named Meggy seemed to be completely immersed in the world of books. Originally, these agents thought the surveillance would end soon, but they didn't expect that they would stay in this town for more than four hours, and it was even dark. Ferchart had been repairing books in the ancient bookstore, and seemed to be looking for something.
The agent who was not far from Megi could only follow and read the books. It took four hours to see. "You are so unlucky Kerry." The voice of his companion came from his headset, "It's really hard for you to watch for so long if you are not a playboy."
Kerry's mouth twitched, but he couldn't answer casually.
But these carefully monitored agents didn't know that at this moment, Ferchart finally found what he wanted, the book he had been searching for, and even searching for half of the earth, "Ink Heart".
It was as if it was some kind of call. As soon as Furchat entered the bookstore, he heard the sound of books. It was whispering, it was calling him. While trimming the books, Furchat groped the books while exploring the bookshelf, and finally found it in an old compartment soon after.
Even his hands were trembling. When he opened the book and saw what was inside, Furchart knew that this was the book he was looking for.
But while Ferchat reads the contents of the book, Meggy also wakes up from the world of books because she hears strange sounds, like some kind of animal.
And as soon as she looked up, she saw a marten appearing in front of her, squatting among a pile of books, crawling around.
Meggie showed a funny smile on her face. The girl liked small animals and she broke off a small piece of it from the chocolate and threw it to the little mink.
However, Meiji had a great time having fun on this side, and the other side of the f-pin was already in full swing.
"Why did you see this thing come from?" Ricky, who was squatting on the roof with a telescope, immediately asked the agent Kerry, who was closest to the girl, but only got a confused look on his face.
"Should this creature appear in the Alps?" Ricky expressed a puzzled look on his face, and Zas, who was staying in the car and looking at the fact-monitoring screen, frowned. He felt that he had caught something, but he didn't.
But the next moment, the group of agents became nervous again because they actually saw a person, a person who had never seen or noticed before, appeared around Meggie.
Meiji went to tease the mink behind him, but almost got bitten by it. At this moment, a strange man appeared not far behind her and whispered, "It doesn't like others teasing it."
The strange man walked over slowly and bent over slightly, "You'd better be careful. It's called Gwen. I know it's cute, but people shouldn't behave like it."
Xiao Diao jumped onto the pile of books in three or two, then jumped to the man's shoulder, and got into the backpack behind him.
The man was wearing a little worn dirty clothes, his hair seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time, and there were two faint slight scars on his eyes.
Meiji leaned back with some fear, treating the person in front of her as a stranger. She took two steps back and said, "Uh... I know, I still know not to talk to strangers, I'm losing my companion."
Just as Megi retreated, Kerry, not far away, was already alert. If the man took action, he would definitely stop him. However, the man seemed to have no intention of stopping Megi, but just as Megi was about to run away, he suddenly said, "I'm not a stranger, Megi."
"We met once when you were very young. Although you may not remember it, I am not a stranger."
Upon hearing this, Kerry stopped and did not continue to move forward, but remained vigilant. While looking down at the book, he kept paying attention to the situation here from time to time.
But at this moment, Ferchart pushed the door from the ancient bookstore, with a happy expression, but disappeared from his face without a trace when he saw this strange man.
"What's OK, silver tongue." The man also saw Ferchart, and he said.
"I was just chatting with your daughter."
Ferchart stepped forward and pulled Megi behind her, then whispered to her, "Megi, go back to the car." Then he added, "Don't worry, he is an old friend of mine."
"Dad!" Meiji shouted.
And seeing that she didn't move, Ferchart roared in a low voice, "Go now!"
Meiji looked at her father, then turned around and walked towards the station wagon in the alley.
"Let's take a walk together." The man looked at Ferchart calmly after Meggie left, and then led him into another alley.
At the same time, Ricky, who could hear the conversation between these people clearly through Kerry's surveillance equipment, immediately whispered to Zas, "Zas, did you hear it?"
"I heard it." Zas, who was standing in the car, stared at the real-time monitoring screen, "Follow up and don't be discovered."
