Chapter 286 Russell’s Mission (please order the full version!)
After confirming that the black meteorite was man-made, a classic line popped up in Russell's mind unconsciously.
"Think about it, you took your wife out of the city, were eating hot pot and singing songs, and suddenly you were robbed by bandits! Therefore, days without bandits are good days."
Although the black meteorite was not made by the gangsters, Russell now has a similar feeling.
"I gave the Warner Protoss a big gift in return. How do you want to return the gift?"
Sol thought for a few seconds and asked Russell.
"It's very simple. We will give you gifts in return as they give you gifts."
"This is Vanaheim, the territory of the Vanna Protoss. Even if they didn't get that black meteorite, it definitely has nothing to do with them."
"They can use black meteorites to give us a showdown, and of course we can give them a few meteorites in return."
After hearing Russell's words, everyone in the tent was stunned for a moment.
They did not expect that Russell, who seemed to be gentle and gentle, would have such courage.
Returning a few meteorites to the Warner Protoss, I have to say, this is a very tempting suggestion.
Especially for the generals stationed in frontline camps.
The Asgardians and the Vanirs are old enemies. Let alone throwing a few meteorites back, even if they use the rainbow bridge to attack the cities and camps of the Vanirs, these generals don't think there is any problem.
If Odin hadn't explicitly ordered them to minimize conflicts with the Vanir clan, the moment the riot broke out, these generals would have led their troops to quell the chaos.
"You have a way to do something similar?"
Thor continued to ask.
"Okay! But, I may not be able to make it as weird as the black meteorite!"
Among the magic that Russell knows, there is no shortage of magic that can summon meteorites.
However, it is not easy to make a black meteorite fall so silently.
Unless he is using the power of space gems while performing meteorite-related magic.
Otherwise, the meteorite summoned by his magic will be no different from a normal falling meteorite, and there will be a very obvious and long skill advance time.
"Just throwing the meteorite back is a bit too rough, and this incident may not have anything to do with the Warner Protoss."
"If we respond harshly, it will most likely lead to a large-scale war."
Although Russell's proposal was very tempting and in line with the character of the Asgardians, Thor finally chose to reject it.
When it's time to be tough, he won't refuse to be tough.
But this time around the meteorite incident, he always felt that something was wrong, and that there seemed to be a mastermind behind it planning an unknown plan.
"You are the coach, you have the final say!"
Russell didn't take Sol's rejection to heart.
Although it would be fun to just throw a few meteorites back, it would also cause the relationship between Asgard and the Vanir Protoss to take a turn for the worse.
Just like what Saul said, if it is not done properly, this can easily lead to a large-scale war, or even directly lead to a national war.
"First strengthen the vigilance and expand the scope of patrol vigilance."
"In addition, notify those Asgardians in Vanaheim and send troops to take them back to Asgard."
After thinking for more than ten seconds, Thor began to issue instructions to the generals in front of him.
"Okay, Your Highness!"
These Asgardian generals quickly stood up and replied.
After giving orders to these generals, Thor said to Hogan: "Hogan, please contact the informant of the Warner Protoss. I want to know all the recent movements of the Warner Protoss."
"Tell those informants that this time, Asgard will give them double the reward!"
"good!"
Hogan said with a serious face.
Then, he took the mace and left the tent.
When Hogan left, Thor gave orders to Fandral and Volstagg, asking them to lead a team to protect the Asgardians in Vanaheim and evacuate.
It was not until the three warriors of Asgard and the camp generals left the tent that Thor said to Russell: "I know you have been a killer on earth for a while, and you did a pretty good job."
"If you don't mind, I would like you to go to the nearest main city of the Vanir Protoss, Storm's End Castle."
Storm's End?
After hearing what Sol said, Russell was stunned for a moment.
Although he had just refreshed his knowledge about the Warner Protoss yesterday, he still did not particularly understand the situation of the Warner Protoss.
Apart from knowing that the royal city of the Vanir Protoss is Nootong, known as the "Ship City", he doesn't know much about the other cities in Vanaheim.
"What do you want me to do at Storm's End?"
Russell asked Saul.
"Search for information!"
"Also, if you can, I hope you can bring a message to the Lord of Storm's End."
Sol's expression became a little serious.
"What words?"
Russell continued to ask.
"Asgard has never been afraid of war. If the Vanir Protoss wants a war, Asgard will definitely satisfy them!"
When he said these words, Thor exuded a strong fighting spirit and amazing momentum, giving people a feeling that thunder was about to come.
"No problem, since you said so, let me take a trip!"
"Speaking of which, I'm also quite curious about the cities and cultural environment of the Warner Protoss!"
Russell said with a smile.
Although he had never done any work as a spy or spy before, he did not find it difficult to sneak into Storm's End Castle.
Whether it is the transformation ability of the King's Serum or the magic transformation technique, he can easily transform into a member of the Vanir Protoss.
Strictly speaking, even if he used his original appearance to sneak into Storm's End, it wouldn't be a big problem.
No one in Vanaheim knew him at all, and there were also many Vanna people with black hair and black eyes.
He only needs to use magic to slightly disguise his aura, and he can enter Storm's End Castle openly.
After leaving the coach's tent, Russell returned to his own tent to prepare.
Speaking of preparation, the main thing is to ask others for a map of the nearby area, such as where Storm's End is, and what villages and towns are nearby.
After figuring out the location of Storm's End, Russell said hello to Thor.
Then, he left the camp alone.
Judging from Thor's plan to send the Asgardian civilians in Vanaheim back first, Thor will not have the idea of sending troops to quell the riots in the short term. At most, he will send troops to protect the Asgardian civilians.
.
As for the real military operations, they may not start until at least the "evacuation of overseas Chinese" is over.
Although we don’t know how long this “evacuation” operation from Asgard will last, if nothing unexpected happens, it will take at least several days or even a week.
This also means that he has enough time to do what he wants to do in Storm's End.
After leaving the frontline camp, Russell followed the direction indicated on the map and flew towards the nearby main city of the Vanir Protoss, Storm's End, while thinking about some of the next action arrangements.
For example, first find a place to change clothes and find some Warner Protoss people to "find out" some information.
He was not worried that the Vanir people would reject him.
For him, who possesses the power of the King's Serum, reading the memories of the Warner Protoss is as easy as drinking water.
As long as he does not encounter those Warners who possess divine power, these Warners are no different from ordinary humans on earth in front of him.
It's just that my life span is longer and my health is better.
After flying leisurely for nearly ten minutes, he arrived at the plains near Storm's End.
After arriving at the vast plain called "Wind's End" plain, he did not fly directly towards Storm's End Castle, but towards the nearest village.
Although the Warner Protoss has a long history that is not inferior to Asgard, the social structure of the Warner Protoss is similar to that of Asgard, and they are both typical monarchy countries.
Except for those Warners who live in the imperial city and the main city, the lives of other Warners are not much different from ordinary civilians in the Middle Ages.
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset, a simple and pure pastoral life.
After arriving above a village, Russell used his telescope and clairvoyance abilities to observe the situation of the village.
This is a small village with only a few dozen households.
There are not many villagers, but the atmosphere in the village is very harmonious.
After briefly observing the situation in the village, Russell, who was floating in the sky, first cast an invisibility spell on himself, and then slowly descended towards the village.
Because of the invisibility magic, the Warner clan members in the village did not notice his arrival at all.
I saw Russell landing directly in the center of the village, and then walking towards the building that looked like a village hall.
This building is the largest building in the village, made of wood and stone, circular in shape, and divided into two floors.
In this building, Russell found many elderly Warner people.
Without anyone noticing, he went straight to the inside of the building and came to the old man from the Warner Protoss who was suspected to be the village chief.
This is a white-haired member of the Warner Protoss with an obvious scar on his face.
Judging from the color of the scar, it must have been an injury sustained when he was young.
The huge scars and wrinkles on his face formed a slightly different pattern, giving this old man a look of calm and self-defeating temperament.
After arriving at the old man's side, Russell had no intention of using mind-reading magic on him.
Judging from the scars on the old man's face and the calluses on his hands, the old man was an experienced warrior when he was young.
Although ordinary Vanir warriors are unlikely to understand magic, they definitely understand magic better than ordinary villagers.
In order to avoid unnecessary accidents, Russell planned to directly parasitize the old man with white tentacles and then forcibly read his memory.
As for whether the old man will discover anything after the parasitism ends, it is not difficult to solve it.
Just let the old man fall asleep and have a strange dream.
Even if the old man feels something is wrong after waking up, he will mistake it for a dream.
Just as he was told, Russell raised his right hand, and several finger-thick white tentacles emerged from his palm.
Then, it wrapped around the old man's neck like an octopus's tentacles.
Without giving the old man time to react, as soon as the white tentacles touched the old man's neck, Russell let the white tentacles parasitize the old man and instantly took over the old man's body.
Then, the old man sitting on the wooden chair closed his eyes and fell asleep, and at the same time read the old man's memory.
It didn't take much time, to be precise, it took less than a minute, Russell read the information he needed from the old man's mind.
As he expected, this old man who looked like a retired veteran was indeed the village chief, and he was also the second most powerful person in the village.
The most powerful one is the current captain of the village's defense team, a warrior of the Warner Protoss in his prime.
After getting the information he wanted, Russell created a bizarre dream for the old man.
Then, he got rid of the parasitism of the white tentacles and left the village hall quietly.
After leaving the village hall, he flew towards the next village.
Simply reading a person's memory is obviously not enough for him to carry out a perfect disguise.
In order to better play the role of a native of the Warner Protoss, he decided to read the memories of a few more people.
After spending nearly an hour, visiting six villages, and reading the memories of nearly ten people, Russell ended this intelligence collection work.
When leaving the last village, he went to the richest man's house in the village and took away a set of traditional male clothing of the Vanir clan and several Vanaheim silver coins.
Although he placed a lot of gold bricks, gold coins, and jewelry in the system space, the gold coins of the Warner Protoss are obviously different from the gold coins on earth.
This can be seen from the portraits and patterns imprinted on the silver coins.
After putting on the clothes of the Warner Protoss that he had picked up and made of ordinary materials, Russell landed near the road to Storm's End.
Then, he slightly messed up his meticulously styled hair and walked toward Storm's End Castle in the distance with a calm expression.
When heading to Storm's End Castle, Russell also made a point of observing the Warners who were heading to Storm's End Castle like him.
After confirming that the aura disguised by magic on his body was no different from theirs, he showed a satisfied smile.
Magic is indeed a universal elixir that never fails to be used!
As long as you master enough magic, you can easily do many seemingly incredible things.
For example, from an earthling to a native of the Vanir clan.
At the beginning, Russell was still thinking about whether to use the transformation spell to change his appearance.
But after thinking seriously for a few minutes, he gave up the idea.
Anyway, no one in Vanaheim knows him, so there won't be any problem if he shows up with his true appearance.
More importantly, he went to Storm's End with his true appearance so that he could communicate with the Vanir women in the city.
When reading the memories of the Warner Protoss people, he had already confirmed that his true appearance was in line with the mainstream aesthetics of the Warner Protoss.
To put it simply, if you were placed near Storm's End Castle, he would be considered a rare and handsome boy from all over the world.
After walking leisurely on the road to Storm's End for more than ten minutes, Russell arrived at the gate of Storm's End together with the Warners who needed to enter the city.
