Vera originally thought that Angel would say some signs of "one of his own". For example, a special logo, some characteristics that cannot be hidden...etc.
But unexpectedly, Angel told him the information that "the challenge mission failed halfway, and their people must be involved."
This information really shocked Vera.
Because this has broken the way that fashion magicians have obtained monster puzzles for thousands of years.
Even though Vera's card pool is already full and there is no demand for monster puzzles for the time being, she also knows very well that once this incident is revealed, it will definitely shake the foundation of the magic circle.
The competition on the same track is already so fierce. The arrival of Angel and others also opened a new track directly outside the track, and the resources of this new track still plundered the original track, further compressing the competition.
There is room for growth for magicians in Modern City, which will definitely cause an uproar.
It may even trigger resistance or even hatred among all employees.
Is such a thing important? There is no doubt that it is.
Angel telling this information was equivalent to handing Vera a sharp blade that could unite the magicians of Modern City.
The sincerity is also very high.
Therefore, purely based on the information on the matter itself, it is definitely enough to offset the price she paid.
only……
"Isn't it a little too difficult to distinguish your people based on this feature alone? Don't you have any special marks?"
Faced with Vera's inquiry, Angel raised his eyebrows and said, "I originally thought you would be surprised by this and asked why. But what I didn't expect is that you are more concerned about our identification method.
?”
Vera: "Would you tell me if I asked?"
Angel pointed upward again: "I can only say that this is the power given to us by the above."
A glimmer flashed in Vera's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it: "Just because I said it doesn't mean I didn't say it."
After a pause, Vera asked: "...each of you has such power?"
Angel: "Yes. But you don't have to worry about our people attacking the magical foundation of Modern City. We don't enter Modern City much, so we can't shake any pillars."
"Also, although our people can intercept challenge tasks from you, the tasks we intercept are much more difficult than your original challenge tasks. It is not that easy to complete, in a sense.
That’s fair competition.”
"The most important thing is that we can only obtain the magic book if we abide by the rules here. And the magic book we obtain is no different from the people here."
The maximum page limit for a low-level magician is ten pages. From one level up, even a high-level magician can only have thirty pages at most without the expansion of special pages.
In other words, if their people become high-level magicians, they can complete up to thirty missions. Is this too much?
Compared to the huge magic circle of Modern City, it is not too little.
What's more, becoming a high-level magician is not easy.
"We will still go through promotion tasks." Angel: "If you can't pass the promotion tasks, you will get fewer pages."
Therefore, in this case, under this base, it is impossible to attack the foundation of the magic circle.
This is another reason why Angel disclosed this information.
It seems important, and it is actually very important, but after saying it, it will not cause too much waves in the end.
The facts were just as Angel expected. After Vera confirmed that the flow was correct, she also confirmed Angel's words.
Originally, I was a little worried that my magicians might be affected, but now that I think about it, not many people will be affected...
Vera: "Two days ago, when I went to Tina Entertainment, I heard two pieces of news. One of their clown employees failed in a challenge mission; even Lily, the current chief planner of Tina Entertainment, accepted the challenge.
A famous series of monsters also failed."
"Your people did this?"
Angel nodded noncommittally: "To be precise, I did it all."
"You?" Vera was stunned, and suddenly thought of something: "That sensational variety show at the entrance of Tina Building..."
Angel: "I did it too. That variety show was because I got a job from a certain magician, which required me to arrange such a variety show in front of a large audience."
Angel told the answer without hesitation.
It even added the tasks that the clown and Lily received, and specifically pointed out that the task of "who makes the clown laugh" is related to Sisley.
"It is precisely because of this mission that I came into contact with Sisley and also let me know some secrets of the Dark Corner."
When Vera heard this, she was also stunned.
Because according to Angel, he only came into contact with Sisley a few days ago. As a result, it didn't take long to investigate Alfred?
Progress so fast?
Angel: "Alfred's line, if Ms. Vera is curious, I will talk about it next time I have the opportunity. But now, let's get back to the topic?"
It is said that "we will talk again when we have the opportunity", but in fact it is implying that the three questions have been consumed this time, and it should be early next time.
Vera also saw that Angel took "equivalent exchange" very seriously and had a strong sense of boundaries, so it was unlikely to extend the problem.
She was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Then continue."
Angel spread his hands: "I've already said what I need to say. I even said it about the challenge tasks I accepted. Isn't this enough?"
Vera: "..."
In terms of information value: enough, of course.
But Vera still felt a little uncomfortable listening to it. She always felt that this information was of high value, but it didn't seem to have much to do with her...
Vera frowned and pondered for two seconds: "However, if you only rely on the method you mentioned, it will be difficult to completely distinguish between you people."
Angel: "You still care whether our people have any special marks, right?"
Vera nodded.
Angel shrugged: "I'm sorry to tell you, there are no other marks, and you can't tell them apart based on appearance alone."
In fact, Angel wanted to say that the challenger's appearance also has characteristics, and even some characteristics are obvious, but "under the rules of fairyland power", people in the dungeon cannot distinguish those characteristics at all.
For example, starworm.
The appearance characteristics of the star bug are not too obvious. He doesn't even have any facial features. All his skin is pitch black, like a starry sky with flowing nebulae.
Starworms look nothing like the people here.
But no one has ever questioned this.
This is the cognitive correction made by the power of Wonderland to the NPCs in the dungeon.
In this case, even if a challenger with extremely obvious characteristics entered the modern city, they would not be able to tell him apart.
That's why Angel said, "You can't tell the difference based on appearance alone."
Vera didn't know that cognitive modification was involved, but she believed in flow. Since there was no reaction in flow, it meant that Angel was telling the truth.
It's impossible to tell by appearance alone. The only way to tell is to see if the challenge mission fails, and use this to infer the contacts.
The method is quite troublesome, but given Vera's status, if she really wants to distinguish it, it's not impossible.
However, Vera thought about it and decided to forget it.
The main thing is to catch them, which seems to be pointless...
Thinking about it this way, Vera felt that the third question was almost the same as whether she had heard it or not.
"Did you tell this information on purpose?" Vera was a little doubtful.
Angel: "This is indeed our core intelligence."
The lack of flow response means that what Angel said is true.
But Angel did not respond directly: "What I'm asking is, did you choose this information on purpose?"
Angel still didn't answer this time, just kept smiling.
Seeing this, Vera already understood that Angel had definitely done it on purpose. But it was difficult for you to find fault because this was indeed core information.
Vera gritted her teeth secretly, and finally reluctantly took out the magic book and waved it lightly.
The flow of mind, graffiti, and invisibility cloth disappeared in an instant and returned to the magic book.

The surrounding became a quiet cafe again.
Through the glass by the window, you can still see Li Zi sitting outside under the street lamp.
"Now that we are no longer in the flow, maybe we can have a casual chat?" Vera said.
Angel: "If you want to continue the questions just now, then I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
In other words, if he wanted to get information about whoring for nothing, Angel would not be willing to do so, even if he had an outburst.
Vera felt a burst of resentment in her heart, and looked at Angel faintly: "I thought Lizzy was already indifferent, but I didn't expect you to be even worse than her."
Vera let out a long breath: "Forget it, I won't ask those questions. But I need to know an answer to Lizzy's question."
"What's the problem?"
"What is your relationship with Lizzy?"
Angel: "Friends."
Vera sneered: "I have investigated Lizzy's past, but I have never heard that she has a friend like you."
Angel said indifferently: "So, you can monitor Lizzy 24 hours a day?"
"How is this possible?"
Angel: "Then it's over. Your intelligence line can't monitor Lizzy 24 hours a day. How can you know all of Lizzy's circle of friends?"
Vera could see that Angel was just perfunctory and most likely a lie.
Apart from being in a state of flow, Angel didn't even want to pretend in his answer.
Sure enough, she shouldn't have withdrawn from the flow so early. However, with Angel's bad character in the flow, he probably wouldn't answer any more questions.
Vera: "I won't ask about anything else. I just want to say that Lizzy is an excellent magician. If you have any intentions towards Lizzy, it's best not to deceive or use her."
Previously, Vera once suspected that Lizzy was a spy when she discovered that Lizzy was using Alfred's information.
But as she came into contact with Lizzy in the past two days, she was moved by Lizzy's reason, justice and determination.
For this reason, Vera did not want Lizzy to be taken advantage of by Angel.
"I have never deceived Lizzy. As for using..." Angel thought for a while: "Although I did ask Lizzy to do something for me, it did not go against Lizzy's wishes. This should not be considered
Take advantage of it.”
Vera suddenly thought of her previous conversation with Lizzy: "So, you told her about the bones in Tina Building?"
Angel nodded noncommittally.
"I have a special task and need to investigate the identity of a corpse, so I asked Vera to help." Angel didn't hide the matter.
Vera frowned slightly: "Special mission?"
Angel: "You can understand it as a challenge mission. However, the mission only investigates one skeleton. The others are all Lizi herself actively wanted to investigate."
Vera stared at Angel: "But have you ever thought about whether this would put her in danger?"
Angel: "No."
"???"
"I said she wouldn't be put in any danger."
Angel left a nightmare mark on Lizzie, so that he could contact him at any time, and it could also serve as a means of protection in times of danger.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for Lizzy to encounter danger.
Vera looked at Angel suspiciously. Although she didn't know why Angel was so sure, she saw solemnity in Angel's eyes.
Then...just believe him for now.
While they were chatting, Li Zi walked into the store from the outside at some point.
"I just saw that you canceled the magic, so I came in to take a look..." Li Zi was a little cautious, "Or should I leave first?"
Angel shook his head, "No, we have finished talking. I just stopped by to talk about the bones in Tina Building."
Having said this, Angel turned to look at Lizzy.
"By the way, have you confirmed Xia Diya's identity?"
Li Zi shook her head in embarrassment: "The latest progress is that her former roommate remembered that Xia Diya seemed to have been to the underground neighborhood."
"So, it is possible that Xia Diya came from the underground neighborhood."
But it's hard to say.
Because according to Li Zi's judgment, Xia Diya had two origins, either from organizations in other city-states, or from organizations in underground neighborhoods.
In the underground neighborhoods, there are many secret societies, some of which may come from other city-states.
Therefore, we only know that Xia Diya has been to the underground neighborhood, but there is still no way to make any more inferences.
Therefore, Li Zi said it was the latest progress, but in fact, it was not much different from the last time she reported to Angel.
"The main reason is that it has been too long and many traces have been hidden. Xia Diya is alone again. It is difficult to find clues." Lizi: "I am trying to figure out a way now to see if I can rely on fashion magic.
Come look for clues...but it’s not easy to find matching fashion magic.”
Li Zi had an apologetic look in her eyes, she felt very sorry that this matter had been delayed for so long.
"It doesn't matter, it's just an ordinary one anyway..." Angel wanted to say that it was just an ordinary side task. It doesn't matter if it wasn't completed. Moreover, there is no time limit for this task, so there is no need to worry too much.
But before he finished speaking, he heard a soft cry.
