Chapter 148 Breakthrough

In the Backlund Bridge area, in a small alley, Xio once again met the MI9 personnel who were in charge of contacting him.

"This is the reward you got in exchange for your meritorious service. The total is 2,500 pounds. Hehe, I helped you get 500 pounds more." The man in the golden mask threw a bulging envelope to Xio.

Xio caught it accurately, without counting, instinctively pressed it, and said sincerely:

"thanks."

The man in the golden mask waved his hands and said:

"You're welcome, this is also a good thing for me, if you are still entangled in the previous things and don't let go, I am very worried that I will go to a military court one day.

"Will you still stay in Backlund?"

"Yes, I'm used to living in a big city. When the war stops, I'll bring my family here." Xio said what he had already considered.

"Wait until the war stops..." The man in the golden mask repeated Xio's middle sentence in a slightly weird tone, and said with a smile, "May the Lord bless us all to live until the end of the war."

The lord here refers to the "lord of the storm".

"I believe in a goddess." Xio replied seriously.

"You understand what I mean." The man in the golden mask waved his hand and said, "Then you still plan to accept the commission from MI9?"

"I won't refuse the opportunity to make money." Xio scratched his slightly rough hair and spoke half-truths and half-false words.

"Yeah." The man in the golden mask nodded and said, "The main thing during the war is to deal with spies from various countries. If there is a mission that suits you, I will find you."

"Okay." After Xio responded, he cautiously exited the dark alley without stopping.

After watching her disappear, the man in the golden mask looked at the shadow in the corner and said:

"She should have just been used by a certain force, and she was given up after not pursuing the original matter."

In the shadow of the corner, a deep voice came out:

"It seems so on the surface, but in fact, there is no need to pursue and worry about anything. Even if she can figure out the truth and spread it, it will not affect His Majesty's affairs anymore. Hehe, the Church of Evernight has already acquiesced."

"This is the best..." The man in the golden mask breathed out silently.

Back at the residence on the edge of the East District, Xio said to Forsi who was sitting on the edge of the bed and flipping through the newspaper:

"Take 2,500 pounds."

Forsi put down the newspaper, her eyes moved slightly, and she focused on calculating and said:

"That's enough."

Hugh himself has a deposit of more than 600 pounds, plus the 2,500 pounds, excluding the necessary living expenses, there are still 3,100 pounds that can be freely used.

And she bought the "Judge" potion formula for 2000 pounds,

The Extraordinary characteristic is 3,500 pounds, that is to say, there is still a shortfall of 2,400 pounds, and Forsi will lend her this sum.

After lending this money, Forsi's savings will be reduced to 780 pounds. However, this has no effect on her. She has the follow-up potion formula and main ingredients, and there will be no major expenses for a long time. Occasionally earn some money by renting out "Leymano's Travel Notes".

"En." Xio nodded, "I will complete the transaction as soon as possible, and strive to be promoted to Sequence Six as soon as possible."

The matter of seeing her friends has been finalized, and Forsi turned to worry about herself:

"I don't know when my 'Recorder' potion will be completely digested. Now that the war has broken out, it will be much safer to have the 'travel' ability."

"The focus of the 'recorder' must be on 'recording'. When I become a 'judge', you will have a new extraordinary ability to record repeatedly. This should speed up the digestion of potions." Xio pulled up a chair and sat down. Next, thinking about it.

Forsi sighed:

"I suspect that in addition to 'recording' extraordinary abilities, we also need to 'record' the scenery and folk customs of different places, so as to be able to match with the subsequent 'travelers'. But now that the war has broken out, it's okay to go inland, and it's sure to go to other places. Difficult and dangerous, and alas, the price of bread has gone up, by nearly a quarterpenny a pound, than it was before the repeal of the Corn Laws!"

"Indeed." Xio thought about it seriously, and agreed with Forsi's conclusion.

The two fell into silence, and after about ten seconds, Xio suddenly had a flash of inspiration:

"Actually, there is a very simple way."

"What?" Forsi sat up slightly and blurted out.

"You can pay someone to take you on a 'trip'." Xio carefully didn't mention the specific code and name, "Every time I drop you in a strange place for three or four days or even a week before picking you up, it doesn't take much It won't take long for you to record various folk customs, and you can also rent some magical items from him and them to 'record' extraordinary abilities, which can not only strengthen you, but also help you digest."

"That's right!" Forsi's eyes lit up when she heard that.

It was only then that she discovered that her use of the Tarot Gathering was at a very superficial level.

After being pleasantly surprised, Forsi's brows gradually frowned, because this method meant that she would have to deal with "The World" Gehrman Sparrow frequently, and she trembled a little when she thought of that crazy adventurer.

Sure enough, there is nothing that does not need to bear a price... In order to digest the potion, I can only take risks... In the end, Fors made up her mind and planned to make a request at the Tarot meeting next week.

…………

In an apartment several streets away from where Xio and Forsi lived.

Klein, who had returned from Serenzo's restaurant, was sitting at the table, quickly flipping through today's newspaper, summarizing and extracting the more important information:

"The Fusac Empire's Sunya Sea Fleet withdrew from Pritz Harbor and disappeared..."

"Admiral Amyrius of the Ministry of National Defense said that he will strengthen coastal defenses and let the three major ironclad fleets return without being too eager, and make more detours to avoid ambushes..."

"The Feysac two-headed giant army invaded the Amanda Mountains in Winter County, encountered fierce resistance, and failed to pass through several fortresses..."

"The Feysac conquest fleet attacked heavy industrial cities such as Constant on the east coast of the Intersea, and a large-scale naval battle broke out with the Kingdom's Intersea Fleet, and each suffered losses..."

"The Fusac of Eastern Balam and the Loen colonial army are fighting in multiple places..."

"The rest of the countries have not yet made it clear. In the corresponding capitals, ambassadors are rushing to communicate and urgently conduct diplomatic mediation... The radio waves carry all kinds of important news, and they are intertwined between different cities in the north and south continents..."

It was still in the early stages of the war... Klein was not optimistic that those diplomats could eliminate the war, so he put down the newspaper and thought about how he should collect the corresponding information about George III's "Dark Emperor" ceremony:

"According to normal logic, before the 'Blood Emperor' Arista was not mad, he still tended to do things reasonably, that is to say, it is impossible for him to repair nine mausoleums in a secret place, which is easy to be 'one pot' , causing the resurrection to fail.

"So, in the area around Backlund and other places in the Kingdom, there should be eight similar tombs. They haven't been exposed yet, and they may not be as well-protected as the No. 1 ruins. There may be opportunities...

"The evil spirit of the 'Red Angel' might know something, but I can't contact him right now, let alone the question of whether chanting his honorable name will be dangerous, just this behavior will reveal that I want to prevent George III from becoming a' The Dark Emperor's intentions, there's so much to exploit for a dreaded 'conspirator'.

"The 'Queen of Mysteries' may have certain channels and clues, but I can't just rely on her... The Church, it should be unclear how many and where are the secret relics of the 'Blood Emperor'...

"Start with the key people around the king, such as the demigods of the royal family who are deeply involved in this matter? They must be vigilant accordingly, and most of the angels of the Augustus family and the angels of that ancient secret organization will stare at him openly and secretly. ...In addition, as long as there is an accident with the demigod of the royal family, George III will definitely guess that someone wants to prevent him from becoming a god...

"By the way, the 'White Witch' Katerina, compared to the royal demigods, she is easier to deal with, and she is less 'attractive'...

"Well, theoretically speaking, George III, who has already received the acquiescence of several major churches, does not need to cooperate with the Witch Sect anymore, and it is not necessary. If it is not for some reason, the two sides have been completely tied together, what he has to do now The first thing is to cut off from the Witch Sect.

"Of course, He probably won't betray the Witch Sect directly. On the one hand, witches are also good at conspiracy, so they won't go unnoticed. Rituals may not be so safe. This is a secret organization with true gods, level '0' sealed items, and angels.

"As long as George III still has reason, the correct way is to give everything that should be given according to the agreement, and then send the members of the Witch Sect to leave. Key memories of Witch Cult participants erased.

"In this way, even if the 'White Witch' Katerina 'disappears' for a period of time, it will not arouse George III's vigilance, and he will not even know.

"From the perspective of the Witch Sect, the matter is over, and the major churches have also acquiesced. The 'White Witches' don't need to completely hide and hide like they did a while ago, and they can move around more freely. For me and ' For Queen Mystery', this presents an opportunity.

"Well, the 'Vice Admiral of Disease' is likely to appear again. Judging from her appearance and the attitude of the 'White Witch' back then, she and Katerina should have a certain blood relationship..."

Thinking of this, Klein exhaled, cast his gaze out of the window, and said silently to himself:

"I hope Anderson and Danitz can find that pirate general as soon as possible...

"I hope that the 'City of Miracles' in "Grossel's Travel Notes" can effectively destroy the influence of the spiritual realm..."

All he can do now is to wait patiently.

…………

The Wild Sea, Theros Isle.

Danitz said to Anderson with a joyful face:

"I heard a piece of news. In the southwest of here, on the abnormal waterway, there is an island that has no resources but is sufficiently hidden."
