A group of imperial secret agents gathered at the entrance of the temple of the Life Sect, attracting the attention of passers-by.
The new members who joined the secret agent waited for a long time, but no one came to greet them. They said impatiently and dissatisfied: "Boss, are we just standing like this? I feel like a rare animal being watched."
The leader did not respond. He still stood upright like a flagpole, looking at the temple door.
The new member suggested: “How about we break in?”
The temple door is always open without any obstruction.
"Shut up, you idiot." The old member of the secret spy team finally couldn't help but yelled in a low voice, "Who do you think you are? The other party is the bishop of the Life Sect!"
The new member was stunned for a moment: "But we are secret spies of the empire. We are now ordered to investigate, and our mission this time is about alien gods! Even if he is a bishop, does he dare to stop us?"
"No." The old member sneered, "The secret spy agency has great power, and this mission is extremely important. Not to mention the bishop, even the archbishop will fully cooperate. According to your approach, we will complete the mission quickly. But
so what?"
“We will arouse the resentment and even malice of a powerful enemy, a golden bishop.”
“What is the level of your bloodline? Is it strong? Can you become a gold-level existence in the future?”
“Even if you complete this task, will the credit you receive allow you to be promoted to the level where you can compete with the Golden Bishop?”
The new member's face became paler and paler after being talked about, but he was still angry: "If I had a gold-level bloodline, why would I join the secret agent Aurora? But if we are afraid of offending the golden bishop, what should we do with the mission? We can't complete it.
The superiors can’t spare us!”
“That’s why we blocked the door, idiot.” said the old member.
The new members were stunned for a moment, then the secret spy leader finally said calmly: "Don't worry, they will welcome us in."
As if to verify his words, as soon as the leader finished speaking, a nun came out with a look of disgust and impatience: "Come in with me quickly, the bishop has agreed to meet you.
Don't stand at the entrance of the main hall, what do you look like!"
The new members breathed a sigh of relief and followed the rest of the group, led by the leader, into the temple.
The Temple of Life is magnificent in shape, and its entire body is made of ink jade. It looks majestic, but also contains hidden vitality.
The outside and inside of the temple are full of trees, with birds chirping and flowers fragrant. Walking among them, people will feel happy.
When they arrived at the living room, the priest guarding the door stopped almost everyone in the secret spy team: "Dear secret spies, the bishop only has one person to meet."
As a result, only the secret spy leader actually entered the living room.
The drawing room is located in the greenhouse inside the temple.
Surrounded by huge floor-to-ceiling glass, you can clearly see the rich green vegetation, bright flowers, colorful parrots, golden-haired monkeys, etc. in the greenhouse.
There are sofas and a milky white coffee table in the living room. There is nothing on the coffee table.
Bishop Howe stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside the window, with his back to the secret spy leader.
Hearing the secret spy leader approaching, he slowly turned around.
The secret spy leader immediately took the initiative to salute, said hello to Bishop Howe, and stated his purpose: "Dear Bishop, you must have already known our purpose."
Bishop Howe nodded: "I have already told you about the Justice Pirates, haven't I?"
The secret spy leader nodded: "That's true, but there are still many doubts. For example, one of them is that the bishop once secretly funded this pirate group. The reason given by the Lord at that time was to repay the kindness of saving lives."
“However, according to the confirmation of the fortune teller afterwards, this reason is not tenable.”
“My lord has used the resurrection spell before, and has resurrected the fallen members of the Justice Pirates. The grace of saving lives should have been repaid.”
Bishop Howe sneered: "Drawing fortune teller? You have to know that the divination of these people is likely to fail every time."
The secret spy leader nodded again with a smile on his face. His attitude has always been very good since entering the temple: "Indeed, what you said is absolutely right, sir."
"However, the main reason why I came here for review this time is because of the order personally issued by Marshal Yantan."
“We cannot fathom what his old man was thinking. But he must have a reason for doing this.”
Bishop Howe was silent.
The living room fell into silence.
After a long time, the leader spoke again: "Dear Bishop, please forgive me for being abrupt. We are no threat to you. You see, I am just a mere silver."
“However, you kept the secret this time, what about the future?”
“Because this matter is related to alien gods, our secret spy team can be easily dismissed by you, but if it attracts the blood of those from the Sanctioning Institute, it will be a bit troublesome for you, right?”
"Bloodlight Sanctioning Court..." Bishop Haofu frowned, then gave a wry smile, "More than just trouble, I don't want to offend those lunatics. You are a good spy, don't blame me for leaving you hanging at the door of the hall.
How long?"
The secret spy leader smiled softly and saluted again: "Your Majesty, Bishop, you must maintain the dignity of the Religion of Life. In this regard, it is my honor."
Bishop Howe sighed and stretched out his hand to motion for the secret spy leader to sit down.
The secret spy leader kept standing until the bishop sat down, then he sat on the sofa and pretended to be listening.
Bishop Haofu pondered for a moment, and then said: "The reason why I really funded this pirate group is actually very simple. I have the magic to detect the blood level. Through my contact, I found that the dragon suit captain has the legendary
Level Flame Dragon bloodline. Not only that, a half-giant on their ship also has god-level bloodline like an Earth Giant."
“I sent out solicitations to them, but the captain of the dragon suit rejected me. Now it seems that maybe I was deceived. After all, the Charming Blue God is best at deceiving and disguising.”
A look of surprise immediately appeared on the face of the secret spy leader: "So that's the reason. Mr. Bishop, your speculation is probably true. How could god-level bloodline appear so easily. According to our analysis,
The Justice Pirates are pawns launched by the Charming Blue God Cult, and their purpose is to infiltrate into the empire through various channels, spy on the empire's intelligence, and prepare for Charming Blue God's resurrection."
Bishop Howe was noncommittal: "Maybe. I have given my answer, so what about the answer I want?"
The secret spy leader looked stern, took out a scroll from the lining pocket of his clothes, and put it respectfully on the coffee table.
Not long after, the door of the living room was opened, and the secret spy leader came out.
“Let’s go.” He led the secret spy team and walked out of the Temple of Life.
During the exchange on the way, the new members were very surprised: "That's it? Did Bishop Howe give us this answer?"
The new members couldn't help but become obsessed with the secret spy leader, and they couldn't help but think: "How did this person become the leader? He must be too easy to fool. It always feels like our trip was in vain!"
The secret spy leader said: "This is enough for us to do business."
He had a feeling in his heart that this should be the correct answer.
For this answer, the fortune teller will reconfirm it.
And he believed in Bishop Howe for another reason.
That is the factional struggle within the navy!
The secret spy leader knew a lot of things: when the navy marshal was first selected, there were four contenders. They were Yan Tan, Bi Tong, Fang Gong and Yi Gui.
In order to compete for the position of marshal, the major forces in the empire fought fiercely. In the end, Yan Tan was elected. This result was beyond the expectations of most people.
Yan Tan had little background and was from a civilian background. After he was elected, the other competitors all became admirals. Yan Tan has been unable to control them.
As a result, the three naval generals and Yantan became the four main factions in the navy.
Among the armies of the empire, the Navy has been established for the shortest time. Behind the four major factions, they all have complicated relationships with the top officials of the empire.
After the secret espionage agency came under the command of the navy, the secret espionage leader was recruited by Yan Tan and his group.
Bishop Howe seems to have nothing to do with the navy, but this is not the case.
Bishop Haofu is a cleric of the Life Religion, and his backer is the Grand Duke Shenxu of the Shengming Empire. This grand duke not only leads the Minsen family, but is also a noble god and is the object of worship of the Life Religion.
Among the nobles affiliated with the Minsen family, there is one called the Fangdong family. The patriarch of this family is Fang Gong, one of the three generals of the navy.
Bishop Howe secretly took a boat in an attempt to go to the Wilderness Continent. However, he was plotted, his traces were exposed, and he was almost captured by the Gold and Silver Brothers.
This time, the secret spy leader was ordered by Marshal Yan Tan to inquire about the information about the Justice Pirates. In fact, this was the initial cooperation between Yan Tan's group and Fang Gong's group.
“At the beginning, too many people were sacrificed in the experiment organized by the Life God Religion, but many strong people were indeed selected. Marshal Yantan was one of them.”
“Perhaps it is precisely because of such a predisposition that the two major factions now cooperate secretly.”
“Alas, outsiders can only see the waves on the surface of the sea. In fact, the undercurrent in the depths of the sea is the complicated truth.”
The secret spy leader had many emotions in his heart, but he did not express them clearly.
He glanced at the new member of the team.
This guy is not big or small. He thinks that his bloodline is of the same level as his own, and he will reach the same level as himself sooner or later. His attitude is very improper. He also does not humbly ask his seniors for advice. Such a person... There is no need to mention it. In the future
If there are any mistakes or omissions, let him memorize them.
At the same time that the secret spy team left, they were in the living room of the Temple of Life.
Thump.
A priest's knees weakened and he fell to the floor.
He loosened his hands, and the scroll in his hand rolled down, along the floor, and finally stopped at the feet of Bishop Howe.
This scroll was given by the secret spy chief, and the content on it clearly records how the kneeling priest tipped off the whereabouts of Bishop Howe.
