The Ascendants caught up with the train very quickly.
Within a few minutes, Ian and his team returned to the alchemy train with ‘Collier’.
At this moment, many undercover agents who revealed their true identities fell into an embarrassing atmosphere for a period of time...
In other words, a rather awkward atmosphere.
According to statistics conducted later, in this small team of twelve people, there were actually undercover agents from the Inspectorate Knights, the Governor's Court, the Mirror Sea Guards, the Security Department, the Dangerous Alchemical Materials Administration, and the Religious Affairs Bureau...
…more than half of the total number of people.
The crouching dragons, phoenixes and young talents are not enough, it is simply a gathering of talents!
They didn't know each other's intelligence and acted independently. In order to hide their undercover identities, they pretended to be just like the real ones.
Not to mention bullying men and dominating women, we can also say that they are abnormal human beings.
It would be okay if there was only one undercover agent, and it could be considered as bearing the humiliation, but now I find that the people who pretended to be each other before were all colleagues... This feeling is given to people with a strong sense of shame, maybe they can awaken their spiritual powers.
This is the result of the lack of information exchange between various departments within the empire. However, it is indeed impossible to leak too much undercover, so to a certain extent, it is inevitable.
In other words, apart from the leader, this organization really has a few members. Otherwise, the embarrassment of this operation would have been raised several levels.
With such a group of professionals handling the matter, Ian didn't have to worry about it and could just watch the fun and drink tea, which was very comfortable.
At this moment, he was sitting in the passenger seat, using his precognitive vision and silver chip to listen with interest to the ongoing interrogation in the car in front.
"Flying Flame Land?"
He closed his eyes and tried to distinguish the meaningful words in those miserable howls and fragmented words: "They are actually people from Feiyandi? Well, are they true or false, or are they passing the blame?"
Because he had used the Flying Flame Land as an excuse so many times, Ian couldn't figure out whether it was true or false for a moment.
But he soon felt relieved: "It doesn't matter, they all said so anyway, it must be Feiyandi, there is no other possibility."
As for why Feiyandi disguised himself as the Dragon Worship Cult to hijack the alchemy train and steal the so-called ‘earth source crystal’... Ian thought of many possibilities.
For example, he wanted to stop some of the cooperation projects between the Dragon Worship Cult and the Empire. Ian knew that Nanling and the Dragon Worship Cult were cooperating against the ancient dragons of Canaan Moor.
For example, I just picked an organization that seems to be in conflict with the empire recently. Also recently, the Dragon Worship Cult was severely criticized by Nanling official news.
For another example, if you just want to disguise your identity and steal the treasure, the diplomacy of the two countries will refuse to acknowledge it. This is the norm.
There are too many possibilities.
Anyway, Ian only knows that no matter what kind of organization it is, if it wants to cause any incident near the imperial capital, it will definitely not succeed so easily.
Even this time, this group of people calling themselves Feiyandi were able to hijack the train, probably because these undercover agents were so competent.
As for why, it happened to be the train I was on...
"etc."
Thinking of something, Ian couldn't help but frown slightly.
He thought to himself: "Is it possible... it really is..."
"I didn't expect, brother, that you would be lurking here so early."
A voice interrupted Ian's speculation, but the boy didn't take it seriously.
Ian turned around and looked behind him.
The tall man with the Order of Knight Inspector on his chest seemed to have just finished summarizing the situation.
After communicating with his superiors, he went directly to talk to this young 'peer'.
The knight with light brown hair had a chic smile on his face and a pipe in his mouth. He looked at the white-haired boy in front of him with some emotion: "I originally thought that it might be difficult for me as an operator, but I didn't.
I thought that the headquarters also sent you here to support me and proactively provide opportunities to take action."
He stretched out his hand to Ian in a friendly way: "I have to say that your appearance is very deceiving. Even I didn't realize your true identity. Who would have thought that a young child who acts with a goblin is actually an already...
Where are the ascendants who have obtained the qualifications of Inspector Knight?"
Although they didn't understand the specific meaning of this sentence, Hua An and Shuang Die both nodded proudly.
of course!
Ian stood up and shook hands with the other party. Both he and the Inspector Knight noticed the goblin's behavior, and both of them smiled, and the tall knight continued: "Introduce yourself. My real name is not Colin
, but Tres. Tres Bellinger.”
"My young colleague, which great knight do you serve?"
Ian did not answer this question immediately. Instead, he looked around and made eye contact with Hua An and Shuang Die.
(In the following communication, I need to lie and don’t expose it)
(Completely understand!) (Okay, Father)
Ian and Tres found an empty seat, sat down to communicate, and asked the flight attendant to help get some food.
The meals on the train were basically frozen food that was heated, and overall the taste was pretty good. Soon, a plate of stewed lamb, shrimp in sweet and sour plum sauce, pork ribs and lettuce salad was placed in front of Ian and Tres.
.
The stewed lamb, pork ribs and lettuce salad were mediocre, but the shrimp with sweet and sour plum sauce, whose name sounds a bit weird, tasted quite good. The shrimp meat was wrapped in a thin layer of crispy fried batter, and the shrimp meat inside was extremely tender.
, and the outside is coated with a thick layer of sweet and sour plum sauce, which gives you both texture and taste when you take a bite.
The two of them were eating and communicating.
Tres is a quite young knight, probably in his early twenties. For a second-level person, although he cannot be called a 'genius' at this age, he can be said to have great potential and is worth cultivating.
.
The Magnet Knight is the second level peak, and he is probably in his thirties. As long as he has the materials and the relevant bloodline true potion inheritance, he can advance to the level at any time. If nothing unexpected happens, after returning from undercover, he will go to the Inspector Knight Headquarters in the Imperial City.
Tres, who can get a lot of resources by holding a position, should be able to achieve similar achievements.
He has light brown hair, a calm and calm expression, bright and clear blue eyes, and looks like a small-town handsome guy that is common in the countryside.
There was a sword hanging on his waist. Although he still spoke and behaved like a country adventurer who was quite ignorant of etiquette (similar to what Ian usually wanted to pretend to be), Ian could hear from the other person's tone that he no longer pretended.
It turns out that he is indeed an elite person with professional training.
"Marquis Barton?"
At this moment, Tres repeated the name Ian said with great interest: "Ah, it's General Barton. Yes, he is also the military intelligence commander of our Patrol Knights. The undercover agent is too busy over there in the Flying Flame Land.
It’s been so long that I’ve forgotten about it.”
"I didn't expect you to be under the command of General Barton... You are indeed the seed that the General values. You are truly a young talent!" he said with emotion.
"No, I said before, I am not a member of the Marquis of Barton's command." Ian corrected somewhat helplessly: "I just sent a secret message on behalf of the Marquis... Sigh."
Now that Ian has somewhat woken up, Marquis Barton asked him to send a secret message, perhaps not only to hook out the traitor of the Magnet Knight, but also to mark him as 'belonging to his side'.
Look, the Governor of Nanling, one of His Majesty's most trusted generals, the Marquis Barton, actually sent a fifteen-year-old young patrol knight apprentice to deliver a secret message to the imperial capital for him... No matter how you think about it, this is one of his close confidants.
A close confidant, something that will only be done if you value it!
No matter how much Ian denied it, he could not get rid of the impression that General Barton had declared that this young knight was his.
"Fortunately, I met Tres in advance." The young man thought to himself. If he hadn't met the undercover agent of the Inspector Knight in advance and alerted him, he might have sent the secret message openly.
In fact, it's not a bad thing. Being labeled is the best way for Ian to hide himself.
But he prefers to take everything into his own hands.
What's more...according to the boy's guess, there are people who want to label him with their own label.
