The bishop is unfathomable.

Chapter 80 Shadow Wolf

Barney seemed a little embarrassed by Li Wei's praise.

Soon after, Li Wei continued, "You and Wag go to Luogu Lane to buy some materials for me."

"In addition, every time we go to Luogu Lane to buy things, we change the people we go with every few days, and there are always at least two people together."

Barney nodded. "Yes. I understand."

"Materials list, I'll send it to the tavern later using my familiar."

"Also, now that we've taken over the gang—let's find some better accommodations for our comrades."

"Secondly, in addition to the gang's existing industries and businesses, we need to find ways to get involved in the intelligence industry. This is to prevent a repeat of what happened with the Sons of Sand's group, who plotted against us."

As he spoke, Levi looked at Wagner and Barney: "Of course, the most important thing is to hide yourselves well and not let the Bureau of Inspectorate find out that you have connections with the remnants of the Brownstone Gang."

"Let that guy named Gauss handle the specifics, and place other people under him."

Wag looked at Levi and asked a question he had wanted to ask for a long time: "My lord, do you intend to stay in Beldor and develop your career there long-term?"

"That's right. Until I achieve my goal," Li Wei said calmly. "Besides, having more escape routes and more methods and traces, what's the harm?"

"We're not like those lunatics, the Sons of Dust. We don't spend all our time thinking about how to cause trouble."

After saying that, Li Wei remembered the Holy Grail and said to the two of them, "By the way, could you please pass on a message to His Excellency the Bishop?"

"The Grail of Canamagos is now in the hands of the Royal Gendarmerie."

"For political reasons, Agnar's death and existence were not reported in the newspapers."

"But the items had already been taken by the Royal Military Police to the Grand Duke of Valak's legion camp outside the city."

Wagner was somewhat confused: "Why report this news?"

"Nothing much, just wanted to watch the fun." Li Wei laughed. "Isn't that what the Invisible Surge is all about?"

Upon hearing this, Barney and Wag exchanged a glance, and thought, "Hmm—the master is still the same master."

In the office of the restricted book section, Felicia skillfully jumped onto Li Wei's desk, then looked up at Li Wei and asked, "Why did you specifically mention the Holy Grail just now? Was it really just to watch the show?"

'

Li Wei shook his head: "Not entirely."

"If the teacher is right, how many people would be obsessed with something that could grant immortality?"

"If the bishop suddenly decides to attack—assuming he has the supernatural power to steal the Holy Grail—he will at least be grateful for the information I provided."

"And I didn't lie; I told him about the enemy he would be facing in advance."

"If he is of normal intelligence and not blinded by greed, then let's pretend nothing happened."

"And if—he gets blinded by greed and comes to kill himself, and then dies in the struggle, that would be even better."

Thinking of this, Li Wei smiled sinisterly, which almost made Felicia enter her Spinosaurus form.

After a moment, Felicia asked, "So that's what you were planning—didn't you think about what would happen next? For example, what if the bishop dies, other factions fight for power, or you fail to compete for the position?"

"Of course I thought about it," Li Wei replied, regaining his composure. "But I never intended for him to die, did I?"

"Adding flowers to brocade can never compare to providing charcoal in the snow or saving people from dire straits."

"As for where water and fire came from, don't ask."

Felicia asked, "You're not planning to leak the news to the authorities beforehand if that unfortunate bishop actually comes, are you?"

"Hahaha, what a clever cat!" Li Wei happily picked up the cat. "In the words of my hometown, you are my Zhang Liang!"

"—What kind of bizarre grammar and semantics is this? Did you make this up yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wei smiled wryly without offering any further explanation, and placed the cat on the table: "Alright, go wait on the sofa for a while, I need to create a new familiar."

After saying that, Li Wei got up and walked to the window, then pushed the table away a little.

After maintaining sufficient distance, Li Wei began to use Soul Shadow.

[Spell: Shadow of the Soul Lv1 (28%), Cost: 1 Spirit Power, Current Crafting Quantity: 1]

Activating the spell, Li Wei once again felt that slight tearing sensation from his soul.

However, compared to the feeling during the first split, the tearing sensation coming from above the soul seemed to be more intense this time.

Immediately afterward, as the number of items that could be manufactured returned to zero on the panel, Li Wei felt a thick darkness envelop his vision.

Then, a giant black wolf, which could reach his chest even when it was on all fours, stared at Li Wei with its purplish-black eyes.

The name of the familiar entered Li Wei's mind at this moment, along with the new familiar's skills and spells.

Of course, there were also cries.

"Woof!"

Looking at the big black dog that was already squatting on the ground, its tongue lolling out, obediently panting and breathing heavily towards him—

—Oh no, Shadow Wolf, Li Wei couldn't help but look up at the sky and facepalm.

Well, his skills and spells sound pretty dark, and he seems like a master of ambush and tracking.

Together with the falcon, it is a complete unit, one for air and one for land.

But why————

The familiars I summoned, aside from looking cool, were all essentially stupid.

It exudes a clear and pure simplicity.

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei summoned the falcon and had it stand on the desk to get acquainted with its new colleagues.

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

"Woof woof woof!"

Shake hands.

The falcon spread its wings, the shadow wolf raised its forepaws; the bird and the dog were perfectly in harmony. Their relationship as colleagues was very friendly.

Felicia's expression was somewhat subtle.

Li Wei put away the falcon and then rubbed the Shadow Wolf's head.

Compared to the falcon's hard feathers that can withstand bullets and powerful knife strikes, the shadow wolf, despite its large size, has surprisingly soft fur that feels very comfortable to the touch, like a large plush pillow.

And its skill bar even includes a giant form —

Looking at the Shadow Wolf, which was actually not much shorter than him, and in fact, if it stood upright, it would be half a head taller than him, Li Wei activated Item Mimicry from its skill list.

This skill seems somewhat useless on its own, since in the Soul Possession state, both the Falcon and the Shadow Wolf can freely become one's personal companions.

But—this skill seems to be able to change a lot of things.

Canes, swords, watches, hats, pens—even pistols.

Aside from the pistol being unable to fire due to lack of bullets, this mimicry revolver would likely be able to fire smoothly if it had bullets.

That's not all; the Shadow Wolf can even transform into a book, a piece of clothing, or even a carriage.
