After all the affairs were handed over, Gray Lint bid farewell to Darnell. It was already late at night.
Holding the "Guiding Lantern", Gray Linte quickly traveled through the spiritual world and returned to Vertek.
What surprised him was that Morgan was still waiting for him:
"How about it?"
"Is there anything unexpected about submitting the sealed artifact?"
"Why did you come back so late?"
Gray Linte glanced at him calmly and replied:
"It's not a big problem. It's just that when I was choosing 'Equal Compensation', I took a fancy to the 'Seed of Wrong Action'. However, the Lieutenant General said that it can play a greater role in the organization... so there are a few more submissions.
Document flow.”
He took the initiative to expose "2-21" to cover up the existence of the "Secret Chain".
Since Mr. Basel told them that Morgan was abnormal, they would definitely help hide their magical items.
"The seed of reckless behavior?"
Morgan didn't expect that Gray Lint's goal was this! To be honest, if he were in Gray Lint's position, he would definitely choose a powerful offensive sealed object.
However, the "Seed of Wrong Action" is indeed practical enough.
After being slightly surprised, Morgan nodded, finally understanding Gray Lint's choice. Then, he took out a bright black irregular semi-turbid crystal.
“This is the ‘briber’ extraordinary characteristic that you want to exchange for part of your merits.”
"However, it is not a 'biological material' and cannot use '2-21' to separate extraordinary properties. Therefore, if you use it to prepare potions, it may be affected to a certain extent."
What he was referring to was the issue of having some lower-sequence extraordinary characteristics.
But this cannot be troubled by Gray Linte.
As long as you control an ordinary creature in advance and let it take this characteristic to become a monster, then it can use the 'Seed of Wrong Action' to separate the characteristics of different sequence levels.
I saw him grinning and saying with a smile:
"This is not a big problem. Anyway, I won't try to get promoted in a short time."
"If I could collect two potion ingredients before promotion, I would definitely not use them."
Later, Gray Lint returned the sealed artifacts "2-07" and "2-29" and asked Morgan to take a rest tomorrow.
Members of MI9 usually take one day off in a week, and need to report to Morgan temporarily and get permission. However, this is not a problem for Gray Lint, because he is not participating in the rotation now, so there is nothing special.
If it's an important task, Morgan has no reason not to allow him to take turns.
The reason why he requested to take turns is that Gray Linte has been working too frequently these days.
Now that Admiral Basel has a plan, he only needs to follow the instructions. Otherwise, if he accidentally finds out Morgan's tricks, he will easily alert the enemy and interfere with the Admiral's plan.
Morgan nodded indifferently, agreeing to give him a day off.
Then, he asked casually:
"I heard Philip say that you seem to be screening those ordinary people who have been contacted by Intis spies?"
"This seems very troublesome and unnecessary?"
"I think that if the Sequence Five of the 'Hunter' path is really connected to the 'Wraith Soul', it seems unlikely that it will be related to ordinary people."
Gray Linte's mind was moved, could this clue really reveal anything? What should I do, just follow his reasons and end it? Is this too easy and too obvious?
After some thought, Gray Lint chose to stick to his own idea, and he laughed and said:
"As for the job of 'detective', I really appreciate the words of Emperor Russell, that is, 'Everyone who passes by will leave traces!'"
Morgan was speechless for a moment, but then he heard Gray Lint add:
"Yes, but this idea is indeed a bit too complicated and will definitely take a lot of time and energy."
"How about this. While I'm following this line of thought, I'll investigate based on the latest information you provided, and at the same time detect that irregular extraordinary gathering."
"It might be better to do all three aspects at the same time."
The reason why Gray Lint took the initiative to ask Morgan to provide him with the "latest information" to delay his investigation was because he no longer had the idea of solving the case quickly.
Do you think you are the only one who wants to delay time?
What a coincidence, that’s what I thought too!
After hearing what Graylingt said, Morgan finally stopped insisting that Graylingt give up investigating ordinary people. Now that the pace of the investigation is in his hands, things will not get out of control easily.
…………
It is said to be a day off, but tomorrow is an adjustment time after today's mission, not a rest. After all, it is almost the early morning of the third day since yesterday morning when he went to Ertan Town, and he has never rested! So from now on
Initially, Gray Lint can take two days and three nights off, and will not resume work until next Monday morning.
But then again, after both parties came up with the idea of stalling for time, this originally very free investigation mission turned into a fish-out, didn't it?
Today, Joan and Jon Jold were on duty. Morgan was just waiting for Gray Linte to hand over the task. As for Athena, it goes without saying that she was also waiting for Morgan.
Therefore, when Graylingt returned to the garden house, it was natural that he got the news from the servants that Ms. Nolan had not returned. In their view, Joan Nolan was almost their mistress...
Such comments in Backlund would have a huge negative impact on both Joan and Gray Lint. However, in the Southern Continent, everyone is unfamiliar with the place and works in the same department, and
Belonging to the same group of members...these details are not that important anymore - as long as it doesn't last until one of the two gets married, there is no problem.
As for Shirley, Alister and Aphra, they had all rested at this time.
In the eyes of the housekeeper and servants, the three of them all have "aboriginal blood", so they must be impossible to become the master of this family. At most, Shirley, who is extremely beautiful, should be Gray Linte's mistress.
That’s all.
Regarding this point, let alone them, even Joan had the same idea. Although she didn't know the details of the "Witch", based on intuition, she also believed that Shirley's situation was more complicated, and it was very likely that she was Gray Lint.
A mistress found in the name of "underling".
After all, Shirley is so pretty!
Unlike in Backlund, as a noble, you need to pay attention to your image at all times and not be gluttonous or sleepy.
Gray Lint didn't have any worries in the Southern Continent. He just ordered his servant:
"You don't have to wake me up tomorrow morning. I need to get enough rest. You just need to prepare some food."
"Also, remember to tell Alister to buy a private telegraph machine in the morning."
"If you want money, just ask the butler to withdraw it."
If an extraordinary person is in a state of poor rest and spiritual dryness for a long time, it may aggravate the loss of control.
So he was ready to take a good two days of rest!
As for the money spent to buy the telegraph machine, he didn't care much, it was only about ten pounds. Darnell, who was aware of his wealth, didn't even mention it.
"Logically speaking, this kind of expenditure on serving the organization should be 'reimbursable'?"
Unfortunately, if you want to be reimbursed, you must tell Morgan, and he will check the monthly expenses in detail.
Thinking about all these, Gray Linte slowly fell into sleep...
