Chapter 048 The Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation
Chu Yun walked into the secret door first, followed closely by Lin Xiao, and Sigrid followed Lin Xiao.
After going up a long flight of steps, we arrived at a basement, which was like a refuge base. The four walls were bright silver, and the instruments above shone with a light green light.
With the professional ethics of a secretary, Sigrid whispered: "The investigation team headquarters can be simply divided into [training area] [research area] [logistics area] [general affairs area]. The position of the team leader is in [general affairs area]
."
"The logistics area, I am mainly interested in the logistics area." Lin Xiao said.
"Hmm...me too." Sigrid held the document board and thought for a moment, then smiled unconsciously, "The sweets in the logistics area are delicious, and they are free."
"When you complete the next commission alive, you can naturally go to the logistics area." Chu Yun's voice was calm and he stopped, "We're here."
Passing through the arch that heralded 'victory', they walked into a room paved with fine carpets. The three of them stood in the deepest part of the room. In front of them was a tall and simple mahogany double door. Chu Yun adjusted his breathing and stretched out his gloves.
The right hand with the emerald ring knocks on the door.
The knock on the door echoed, and a calm and pleasant female voice, about 20 or 30 years old, came from inside the door.
"Please come in."
Chu Yun glanced back at Lin Xiao and Sigrid behind him, held the metal door handle of the mahogany door with both hands, tightened his palms, and pushed it open.
Lin Xiao smelled the ink smell of books and the fresh incense. With the light of the open door, a handmade red sandalwood writing table stood in front of them. Behind the large writing table sat a woman with a table in front of her.
To place documents and materials, there is a giant hanging painting covered with canvas behind it.
This red-haired woman has deep features and fair skin. She is wearing a white shirt and tie. She spreads her arms, raises her gaze, and examines the three people.
"I'm glad to see you back alive, and—Lin Xiao, I've admired your name for a long time."
Lin Xiao felt that this woman was dangerous because she had a fishtail braid hanging down to her chest. This kind of hairstyle usually wouldn't last more than half an episode in detective animations.
"How long have you admired your name?" Lin Xiao blinked.
"The strength of the training room of the Qixing Association, the character of speaking out for justice, and the talent shown in card production..."
Margaret crossed her fingers and said with a smile: "The investigation team cooperates with the Card Master Association, so your reputation will naturally spread here."
"Maybe this is like 'good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.'" Lin Xiao sighed softly.
Margaret glanced at Chu Yun, who stepped back and left. Before leaving, Sigrid gave Lin Xiao a "come on" look.
Margaret and Lin Xiao were the only two people left in the room. She put her palms in front of her nose and said:
"So, let's get straight to the point, what is your motivation for joining the investigation team - I don't believe Chu Yun can use the name of 'righteousness' to impress you."
Margaret lowered her gaze and whispered to herself: "Although he is really working hard for the 'righteousness'."
This is a very standard starting question. There are also "Why did you apply for our school" and "Why did you apply for our company" in the same format.
As a working emperor, Lin Xiao straightened his back unconsciously: "I believe that the investigation team has a profound historical background and good development prospects, which coincides with my personal plan for the future. Flexible salary can make better use of it."
My subjective initiative, Origin Dust and Star Coins are also in line with my salary expectations..."
Margaret put her face in her hands, interrupted Lin Xiao who was talking endlessly, and asked: "Can you accept a job transfer to a different place - for example, being assigned to another country?"
"Of course!" Lin Xiao's eyes shimmered, "Becoming a hero has been my dream since childhood. I am committed to bringing light and heat to people in more countries."
"You actually don't want to stay in the Federation at all." Margaret put her face in her hands and asked with a smile, "right?"
Lin Xiao paused for a moment and said: "I think the concept of saving the world does not respect national boundaries, but I personally prefer the customs and customs of certain countries."
Margaret did not ask further questions. The card masters who joined the investigation team had their own ideas.
He seems to have no sense of belonging to the Federation...Leaving the Federation? It is not a short-term goal.
Card masters with firm goals are precisely the talents that the investigation team lacks most.
As a global organization, the "Investigation Team" has gathered card masters from all major countries. Margaret has seen those who seek wealth, those who seek fame and fortune, and those who seek death.
When destroying monsters and card masters, the risk of losing their lives is extremely high. There must always be a fire concept that allows them to persevere...
"I won't ask about your specific fire ideas." Margaret said calmly, "It's just that if you want to have the power of 'free expatriation', then you'd better be promoted to a certain position first - otherwise you will be
It is not impossible for someone who is assigned to Africa to see a big lion baring its teeth."
"Promotion?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Operators, elite operators, senior operators, directors, group leaders..." Margaret said, "When you accumulate enough merits and qualifications, no one can stop you no matter which country you want to go to."
."
Lin Xiao fell into silence and fell into Margaret's eyes. She asked with a smile: "Compared with Origin Chen, it seems that the power of the 'free expatriate' is more attractive to you?"
Lin Xiao did not answer and asked: "How to accumulate merit."
"Complete the commission distributed by the organization to the team. After the commission is completed, you can also receive star coins and source dust rewards. Regarding your team, we will take a simple test first, and then Chu Yun will hand over to you - how do you think?
"Margaret smiled.
Lin Xiao nodded.
The investigation team is in urgent need of manpower, regardless of the source. Although the risk is extremely high, the rich source of dust it provides can enhance its combat power.
And by being promoted to a position within the investigation team, I can gradually gain the power of ‘free assignment’... killing two birds with one stone.
"So." Margaret stood up with her hands behind her hands, "On behalf of the investigation team, I welcome you to join."
Lin Xiao nodded: "When is the next commission?"
"Well, don't worry about it yet."
Margaret turned her back to Lin Xiao: "Since we are colleagues, there is no need to hide this painting from you... You must have heard of the name of this creation dragon, right?"
"Which dragon of creation are you referring to?" Lin Xiao said.
Margaret approached the giant oil painting, grabbed a corner of the canvas, and opened it with a rustle.
The light illuminated the ferocious scene, and Lin Xiao's pupils shrank, feeling the impact from the giant oil painting.
The oil painting showed the World Tree that he had seen before, but it was completely different, full of the atmosphere of death and scorched earth.
The sky was red with burning flames. A dead giant tree in the wasteland, the knotted tree root stretching towards the dry spring water has been broken. The cracked earth is flowing with magma, and on the throne made of bones, a black giant beast is fanned out and covered with hangings.
The skeleton's wings looked up to the sky and spurted out black flames.
The giant oil painting has long been dried, and the paint on it looks like real blood flowing. The fire in Lin Xiao's palm is faintly hot, as if he can hear the roar of a black dragon.
Margaret stood beside Lin Xiao with her hands folded, looking up at the oil painting: "This is the dragon that the investigation team believes in."
"It is rumored that he chewed off the roots of the world tree Yggdrasil, bringing about a disaster called 'Twilight of the Gods', but it also led to the end of the age of gods and the rebirth of the human age—"
There was a certain kind of enthusiasm in Margaret's eyes:
"Therefore, he is called the 'Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation', Nidhogg."
Sure enough... Lin Xiao thought to herself, it was the same as my guess.
This is the fourth known creation dragon, leaving only the last blue dragon.
"You don't seem surprised at all." Margaret blinked.
"Surprised." Lin Xiao said, "It's just that I have seen Nidhogg with more detailed details."
"You mean the oil painting hidden in the Glory Museum?" Margaret nodded slightly, "Indeed, that one is the original."
She looked back at the hanging painting:
"For the investigation team, the power of "destruction" was given by Nidhogg, and sending the fallen monsters and card masters to "reincarnation" is also a kind of tolerance from Nidhogg."
"Although his followers are much fewer than La and Chaos, they are still a force that cannot be ignored."
Margaret said casually: "Okay, if you want, you can come to my room to visit this oil painting anytime in the future, even at night."
"At night?" Lin Xiao was confused.
"Huh?" Margaret turned around, looked at Lin Xiao who was confused, and smiled sweetly, "Wouldn't you rather... well, go take the exam, Chu Yun and the others are still waiting for you."

Lin Xiao walked out of the office.
"What's the result?" There was a hint of nervousness in Chu Yun's calm voice.
"Very good." Lin Xiao fell into deep thought.
It’s just... I seemed to have been teased just now?
"The next step is to take the test to join the team. Let me lead the way."
Sigrid walked ahead with a folder in her arms, her high ponytail tied with a bow swaying, giving full play to the navigation spirit of a little secretary.
"The team entrance test is in the [training area]. Hey, there seems to be an appointment there today..."
