"Apart from Mick, our first suspect is Athena. Although her parents and relatives are all in the Northern Continent, it stands to reason that she doesn't have the courage, but no one can say for sure, right?"
"Depraved human nature, maybe even its own soul can be sold to the devil!"
Not sure what he was remembering, Fitch sighed in a low voice, and then continued:
"We found no real evidence, but she is indeed quite suspicious!"
"So, when you get there, focus on releasing this woman. But remember, don't conflict with Colonel Morgan over this."
The main reason for doubting her is that apart from her, there is no other suspect!
It is impossible for Mick to be bribed by the natives, and his strength is not high enough.
As for Colonel Morgan, he is the least likely to betray. If he rebels, it would be more meaningful for the enemy to leave him to deliver false information rather than directly raiding the station.
Moreover, this person already holds the title of "Colonel" and is also a baron.
Wealth, honor, power, strength, beauty...
What capital does the "Rose School" have to attract such an officer to rebel? Compared with MI9, there is nothing about the "Rose School" that can impress Morgan.
As for the four Extraordinaries who were killed, they were all examined one by one and sent back to the Northern Continent. There was no one who faked their death and escaped after rebelling.
…………
After some discussion, Gray Lint did not come up with any particularly clear ideas.
At present, he could only use "Danger Premonition" based on the enemy just now, and confirmed that the enemy was most likely a "demon" or a "faceless man".
Among them, "Devils" are of course the most likely. After all, they are indeed interchangeable with the "Prisoner" path. It is very possible that the "Rose School" secretly cultivates "Demons". Just like the "Church of Night" is also cultivating
Same as the Extraordinaries of the "Corpse Collector" path.
Of course, it does not rule out that the other party is using a similar ability obtained by "recording" or "learning", or even just using a magical item containing this ability.
After the spying ended this time, Gray Linte and the others did not encounter any other enemies, and arrived at the end of the trip - Vertek without incident.
Logically speaking, this is not normal.
There was no reason for the enemy to dare to directly attack the branch, and they were simply scared away.
Advanced spells are indeed terrifying, but at most they can only affect a mid-sequence battle to a certain extent. If the user's timing is not particularly good, this will not even play a decisive role.
Therefore, the other party does not have any premonition of fatal danger.
————————————————————————
Today is already March 16th. I have been training in a closed space for a month, and then during the entire trip I only played a little role of Gray Lint in front of the "Fragrant Leaf Bar" and Daniz. The potion basically relies on natural digestion, so
He feels less than one-fifth of it now.
It has been almost two months since he took the "Savage" potion.
Jim, who also relies on natural digestion and usually only plays a simple role, has completely digested his "Scammer" potion in the past few days. Ever since Gray Lint became an Beyonder, he has directly become a Sequence Eight
, it has been four months now.
…………
Arriving at Vertek, the MI9 station became secretive again...
Who would have thought that such an intelligence collection organization would be hidden in the most deserted "Dammings Street"? Normally, isn't it easier to collect information the more lively the place is?
Colonel Morgan is a man who looks to have just reached his thirties. He is a clear believer of the Storm Lord. Not far to his left is Athena wearing a veil. She looks taller and can almost catch up with
Graylingt.
Her veil convinced Glalint that she was indeed getting together with Colonel Morgan. Because the doctrine of the Church of Storms forbids women from holding positions, it is considered to be contrary to the duties of a "housewife". It must have been the reason why.
Morgan probably let him wear the veil because of his own masculinity. She seems to be a woman who talks relatively little.
As for the other three people, Gray Lint didn't see them for the time being.
"Good morning, Ms. Nolan, Mr. Mariano. I am very much looking forward to your arrival!"
Morgan glanced at Gray Linte's suitcase covertly, then laughed heartily, half truthfully, half exaggeratedly, and extended his right hand to him.
Under the cultural influence brought by the colonization of the Northern Continent, many indigenous people unconsciously changed their greeting etiquette and turned it into a handshake. Colonel Morgan was a standard Northern Continent person, and of course he was more accustomed to the handshake ceremony.
Colonel Morgan's palm was not particularly strong, but it was dry and warm, giving people a good impression.
"Looks like I don't need any introduction! Morgan."
Fitch laughed softly, and then joked:
"After you were attacked once, did you awaken a particularly timid character? Would you rather bear a huge negative impact and still carry a 'Level 2' sealed object?"
Morgan was slightly startled by his words:
"How do you say this?"
"Can't you even trust me? Morgan."
Fitch shook his head and laughed, then explained:
"Before I escorted the two new members over this time, the Lieutenant General asked me to bring a high-level charm. Through it, I can determine the highest extraordinary level of a person or the magical item on his body."
"You're not going to tell me that you have been secretly promoted to Sequence Five, are you?"
Sequences six to five require ritual assistance and are usually not too easy.
"So that's it!"
Morgan nodded in realization, and then took off his windbreaker:
"Yes, I brought '2-09' with me."
Hanging from his waist was a palm-sized tin kettle.
Fitch seemed to have some understanding of "2-09", nodded and said:
"This sealed object is indeed quite safe."
This conversation made Gray Lint and Joan next to him look confused, but neither Fitch nor Morgan seemed to have any intention of explaining to them.
After a few simple greetings, Fitch readily agreed to Morgan's request to stay, and decided to rest for one night before returning to Tetnik.
"Where are you two? Do you decide to rent a house first or stay in a hotel temporarily?"
"Let's settle down in the hotel first, and then consider renting or buying a house later."
Although it's only 11 o'clock in the morning, it's still a long time today. But Gray Lint believes that renting a house requires more preparation and more comparisons will be better.
"Well, okay, let Anna lead you to the hotel!"
Anna is a pretty-looking mixed-race girl. She is a clerical employee, and she mainly does chores here that are close to servants. There is also an indigenous boy Cook who has the same position and job as her. In addition, clerical employees also manage accounts.
Mrs. Doris and Uncle Bruce who drives the carriage.
During the chat just now, Morgan gave a brief introduction to them.
The last attack occurred in the early hours of the night, when all four of them had gone off work, so there were no casualties.
"Please follow me, everyone."
Anna stretched out her arms and made a "please" gesture.
She was wearing a gray-white local dress with knotted sleeves and a string of bone bracelets on her hands, giving her an obvious exotic style.
