Chapter 148 Breakthrough
In a small alley in the Beckland Bridge area, Xiu met again the staff of the MI9 who was in charge of contacting him.
"This is the reward you earned with your merits, totaling 2,500 pounds. Haha, I helped you get an extra 500 pounds." The man wearing a gold mask threw a bulging envelope for Hugh.
Don't catch it accurately, don't count it, instinctively pressed it and spoke sincerely:
"Thanks."
The man in the golden mask waved his hand and said:
"No thanks, this is also a good thing for me. If you still bother with the past and don't let go, I'm very worried that I will go to the military court one day.
"Will you stay in Beckland next?"
"Yes, I'm used to life in a metropolis. When the war stops, I will bring my family here." Xiu said as he had already thought about it.
"Wait until the war stops..." The golden masked man repeated the sentence in his tone in a slightly strange way, and smiled, "May the Lord protect us all to live until the end of the war."
The Lord here refers to the "Lord of the Storm".
"I believe in the goddess." Xiu replied seriously.
"You understand what I mean." The man in the golden mask waved his hand, "Then are you still planning to accept the commission from MI9?"
"I won't refuse the opportunity to make money." Xiu grabbed his slightly rough hair and said half-true words.
"Yes." 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 task that suits you, I will find you."
"Okay." After responding, Xu Shu did not stop and exited the dark alley with caution and carefulness.
After watching her back disappear, the man in the golden mask looked at the shadow in the corner and said:
"She should have been just used by a certain force and was given up after stopping the matter."
In the shadow of the corner, a low voice came out:
"On the surface, this seems to be the case, but in fact, there is no need to pursue or worry about anything. Even if she can figure out the truth and spread it out, it will no longer affect the affairs of His Majesty the King. Haha, the Dark Night Church has acquiesced."
"This is best..." the man in the golden mask exhaled silently.
Back at the residence on the edge of the East Side, Hugh said to Fors, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, reading the newspaper:
"I took £2,500."
Fors put down the newspaper, his eyes moved slightly, and he focused on the calculation:
“That’s enough.”
Xiu himself has a deposit of more than 600 pounds, plus the 2,500 pounds, and apart from the necessary living expenses, there is still 3,100 pounds to be freely disposal.
The formula for buying the "Judge" potion was 2,000 pounds, and the extraordinary characteristic was 3,500 pounds, which means that there was still 2,400 pounds short of this amount of money, Fors would lend her.
After lending this money, Fors' savings will be reduced to 780 pounds, but this has no effect on her. She has all the subsequent potion formula and main materials, and she has not had much expenses for a long time. She can occasionally make some money by renting out "Lemano's Travel Notes".
"Yeah." Xiu nodded, "I will complete the transaction as soon as possible and strive to advance to Sequence 6 as soon as possible."
Seeing that the matter of my friend had been finalized, Forsy turned to worry about himself:
"My 'Record Officer' potion will not be fully digested. Now that the war has broken out, it will be much safer to have the ability to 'travel'."
"The focus of the 'record officer' must be on 'record'. When I become 'judge', you have new extraordinary abilities to record repeatedly, which should speed up the digestion of the potion." Xiu pulled a chair and sat down, thinking.
Fors sighed:
"I suspect that in addition to 'recording' the extraordinary ability, we also need to 'record' the scenery and folk customs of different places so that we can match the subsequent 'travelers'. But now that the war has broken out, it's okay to go inland, but going to other places must be difficult and dangerous. Alas, the price of bread has risen, and it's nearly a quarter of a penny per pound, which is more expensive than before the abolition of the Cereal Act!"
"Indeed." Xiu thought about it carefully and agreed with Forth's summary.
The two of them then fell into silence. After about ten seconds, Xiu suddenly flashed with an inspiration:
"Actually, there is a very simple way."
"What?" Fors sat upright slightly and blurted out.
"You can pay for the one to take you to 'travel'." Hug carefully did not mention the specific code name and name. "Every time you are thrown into a strange place for three or four days or even a week before picking you up, it won't take long to record various folk customs, and you can also rent some magical items from him and from them to 'record' extraordinary abilities, which can not only enhance you but also help you digest."
"Yes!" Fors' eyes lit up when he heard it.
Only then did she realize that her use of the Tarot party was a very superficial level.
After the surprise, Forth's brows gradually frowned, because this method meant that she had to deal with the "world" German Sparo frequently, and she was a little shivering when she thought of the crazy adventurer.
Sure enough, there is nothing that doesn't need to bear the price... In order to digest the potion, I can only take risks... In the end, Fors made up his mind and planned to make a request at the Tarot meeting next week.
…………
In an apartment located several streets from where Hugh and Forth lived.
Crane, who returned from the Serenzo restaurant, was sitting at the table, quickly looking through today's newspaper, summarizing and extracting the more important information:
"The Sunian Sea Fleet of the Fsak Empire evacuated the Port of Pritz, and was unknown..."
"Minister Amyrius of the Ministry of Defense said that he would strengthen coastal defenses and not be too anxious to return to the three major ironclad fleets, and dove more points to avoid ambushing..."
"The Foxac's two-headed giant legion invaded the Ammanda Mountains in Winter County, encountered fierce resistance and failed to pass several major fortresses..."
"Fosak conquered fleet attacked heavy industrial cities such as Conston on the east coast of the Misea, and a large-scale naval battle broke out with the Misea Fleet in the Kingdom, each with losses..."
"Fsak and Ruin's colonial troops of Dongbairan went to war in multiple places..."
"The rest of the countries have not yet made it clear. In the corresponding capital, the ambassadors rushed to contact each other and urgently conducted diplomatic mediation... The radio waves carried various important news and intersected between different cities in the north and south continents..."
In the early days of the war... Klein was not optimistic about the diplomats being able to eliminate the war, so he put down the newspaper and thought about how he should collect the corresponding information of the "Black Emperor" ceremony of George III:
"According to normal logic, before the 'blood emperor' Alista was crazy, he still tended to do things rationally, that is, he could not have cultivated nine tombs in a secret place, which could easily be "taken away" by people, resulting in the failure of resurrection.
"So, in the area around Beckland, elsewhere in the Kingdom, there should be eight similar mausoleums. They have not been exposed yet and may not be as well protected as the No. 1 ruins, so there may be opportunities...
"The evil spirit of the ‘Red Angel’ may know something, but I cannot contact Him now, and not to mention whether there is a dangerous question of whether chanting His name will be dangerous. This act alone will reveal my intention to stop George III from becoming the ‘Black Emperor’, which has so many things to use for a terrible ‘conspirator’.
"There may be some channels and clues on the 'Mysterious Queen', but I can't rely solely on her... The church should not be clear at the moment how many secret relics of the 'Blood Emperor' are there and where...
"Start from the key figures around the king, such as the royal demigod who was deeply involved in this matter? They must have corresponding vigilance, and the angels of the Augustus family and the angels of the ancient secret organization will most likely stare at them openly and secretly... In addition, as long as there is an accident in the royal demigod, George III will definitely guess that someone wants to stop him from becoming a god...
"By the way, Katerina, the 'White Witch', is easier to deal with than the royal demigods, and less 'attractive'...
"Well, theoretically speaking, George III, who has received the acquisition of several major churches, no longer needs to cooperate with the Witch Clan, nor is there any need. If it weren't for some reason, the two sides were completely tied up, and the first thing he had to do now was to cut off the Witch Clan.
"Of course, he would not directly betray the Witch Cult. On the one hand, the Witches are also good at conspiracy, so they will not be careful about this. On the other hand, if they anger the senior management of the Witch Cult, George III's "Black Emperor" ceremony may not be so safe. This is a true god, a "0"-level seal, and an angel's secret organization.
"As long as George III is still rational, the correct way is to give everything you should give as agreed, and then send the people of the Witch Clan to leave. In this process, with the help of the power of the angels in the spiritual realm and even the angel king, the key memories of the participants in the Witch Clan were erased.
"In this way, even if the 'White Witch' Katerina is missing' 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 Cult, the matter was over and the major churches also acquiesced. The 'Witches' and the others no longer need to hide and hide completely like they had been before, and could move freely. For me and the 'Mysterious Queen', this is a chance.
"Well, the 'Line General of Disease' will likely appear again. Judging from her appearance and the attitude of the 'White Witch' at the beginning, she and Katerina should have a certain blood relationship..."
Thinking of this, Klein exhaled, turned his eyes out the window, and silently said to himself:
"Hope Anderson and Daniz can find that pirate general as soon as possible...
"I hope that the 'City of Miracles' in "Grossel's Travels" can effectively destroy the influence of the spiritual realm..."
And what he can do now is wait patiently.

Theros Island.
Daniz said to Anderson with joy:
Chapter completed!
