Secret: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

709

Medici rubbed his nose: "It feels like someone is talking about me."

He turned his head: "How was your discussion?"

I saw three high-level officials of the Iron-Blooded Cross gathered around a sand table model, chatting and discussing. The sand table model is crisscrossed by waterways, and the two rivers are covered with many different types of bridges. This is a draft provided by the church of the hidden sage who has not yet come up with a name.

"There is too much water in this city." Tang En smacked his lips. "Do government public universities need to offer another sailing course? If the application is successful, we might be able to find employment for the current sailors. The problem is, we will also have manpower for naval battles in the future.”

Medici interrupted: "Do we still have sailors here?"

"Didn't the Lord say before that the five paths in the church should be fully developed?" Tang En was the first to answer, "After the great flood, there were many casualties among the Extraordinaries from other paths, but among the sailors, there were a large number of survivors who were promoted, and there were many People choose to become sailors directly after surviving, and now half of the low-ranking people in the church are sailors, and they have to train cultivators and singers from scratch."

"That can indeed develop naval warfare talents." Medici touched his chin, thinking of the Sunia Sea Fleet of the Feysac Empire, and became a little interested. "It can be adopted, but what does this have to do with the layout of the city?"

"Some guardrails should be installed along the river." Trainor pointed out, "Especially near these small secluded tributaries, it can easily cause danger."

Tang En looked at him: "It makes sense. Is it because it is convenient to kill people and get goods? But most people will not go near a secluded river. If it is suicide, there will be special church personnel to patrol and manage it."

"Absolutely." Traynor said, "When I was a kid, I invited my love rival to a duel and then pushed him away. Unfortunately, he only had a cold for two days."

Tang En said perfunctorily: "Awesome."

“I think this street is great,” Raymond said, pointing to a house on a main thoroughfare.

Others came closer: "Planning to buy a house here? It's not impossible. The city is basically empty now. You can live wherever you want."

"No, no, don't you think this location is very good?"

Raymond waved his hands repeatedly and pointed at the house model again: "This is a good location. As long as a large alchemy doll of the Church of Steam loaded with medium-sized weapons is placed here, the firepower can cover the entire block!"

Tang En and Traynor looked like they were suddenly enlightened, and said perfunctorily: "It's amazing."

Medici watched for a while and gave up thinking. He felt that the decision to let hunters discuss the city's layout was still a bit too advanced.

…

In Meige Manor, the night is already dark.

After arranging accommodation for more than 20 guests and preparing for the next day's hunting activity, Klein suddenly woke up not long after he fell asleep.

His intuitive premonition touched him, and a picture was sketched in his mind:

Major General Qonas Kilger, wearing a shirt and trousers, flew out of the guest room window invisibly and floated outside against the rules of nature.

This... I haven't even done anything yet... He has his own purpose for coming here... With a flash of thought, Klein had already controlled a cockroach outside, turned it into a marionette, and used its "eyes" Observe your surroundings.

Almost immediately, Qonas Kilgor appeared.

After the demigod left Mei Ge Manor, he immediately confused the "distance" and quickly arrived at the bank of the Tasok River, preparing to cross.

The cockroach watched quietly without making any reaction.

He is going to the south bank of the Tasok River... What does he want to do... He likes to hunt in the countryside. Is it just to cover up such actions? Is there any reason why he introduced Mei Ge Manor to me? Klein lay on the bed and carefully analyzed Qonas' behavior.

When the MI9 demigod actually set foot on the south bank of the Tasok River, Klein suddenly remembered something:

After he escaped from the underground ruins where Ince Zangwill and others were, he appeared northwest of Backlund, on the south bank of the Tasok River, not too far away from the area where Mei Ge Manor was located.

As his thoughts raced, Klein suddenly switched places with Enuni, the valet in the next room.

Under the grapevine about 150 meters away from the main house of the manor, a centipede that was slowly crawling suddenly stiffened and then relaxed.

Almost at the same time, its figure disappeared from the spot, and Dwayne Dantès appeared here wearing blue and white checkered pajamas.

Klein switched places with Marionette again!

He decided to use this method to follow Qonas Kilgor covertly and find out where he was going and what he was going to do.

You know, that is a demigod. Even if he is not good at spiritual intuition and other fields, he is still a demigod and must not be underestimated!

In the same way, the reason why Klein didn't rely on "creeping hunger" to hide in the shadows was because tracking and hiding in this way was relatively slow, and it was completely impossible to catch up with a demigod.

Under the deep night, from Mei Ge Manor to the south bank of the Tasoke River, the mice, venomous snakes, spiders, and river fish swimming among the tree roots and active among the stones have become... Stiffness and sluggish movements.

One secret puppet after another was transformed one after another. Klein used them to "teleport" continuously without causing any movement. He soon arrived at the south bank of the Tasok River and caught up behind Qonas Kilger, maintaining a distance of nearly 1 kilometers distance.

…

On the other side, just as Leonard thought, Cattleya was approaching the coastline of Intis at this time.

Of course, she did not take her own "Future". As a member of the Moss Trappist Order and a pirate general, her rash approach to the territorial waters of another country would have caused people to be wary, not to mention that she was now a demigod.

A three-masted sailing ship that can carry two hundred people is approaching the port of Feilun on the Intis Sea. There are only a dozen people on board. The Ashrams are proficient in neither hearing nor seeing and are experienced in escaping the lessons and indoctrination of the Hidden Sages. As long as you don't use a lot of spirituality to perform rituals when the demon of knowledge comes, you can basically save your life. The remaining members made their way to Intis in batches, and it was only after the first team received word of their safety a week later that the Trappist Order began to discuss the second group.

Cattleya is also among them.

She was originally unable to enter the core because of her relationship with the "Mysterious Queen", but now she has no reason to be suspicious. Coupled with the large number of out-of-control deaths of "Secret Peepers" worldwide caused by the previous call of the Hidden Sage, Cattleya has now naturally become the mainstay, and the second batch is heading to Intis.

Everyone else on the boat was having a heated discussion. It was a rare opportunity for members of the Trappist Order, who had been silent for many years, to speak freely.

Almost everyone is looking forward to being reused in Intis and being able to freely pursue knowledge or spread knowledge. How can the extraordinary knowledge and ritual magic they master be combined with real life? How much ancient knowledge can the new church provide? history and mystical magic. These scholars are still dreaming of being pure scholars and do not know that as soon as they arrive in Intis, they will be captured and join various city construction projects.

Of course, this is not a bad thing for them.

Applying mystery and ritual magic to reality and doing things that ordinary equipment cannot do can be regarded as an effective performance.

Cattleya seemed a little out of place among them. She didn't seem to have much expectations for the future and didn't communicate much with others. However, once they thought that this pirate general who had not had much communication with the Moss Trappist Order for many years had now left his ship and was about to arrive in a completely unfamiliar place outside the sphere of influence, other spying people felt that even if she behaved silently It’s not surprising to be wary.

"As expected of a place where a tsunami just occurred. The spiritual power in the sea water here is very unstable..."

Several small teams are conducting on-site inspections, and the starlight turns into astrolabes and measuring instruments in the hands of the secret peepers, calculating tides and ocean currents.

One of the middle-aged men with gray hair clicked his tongue: "The ocean currents are chaotic and spiritually unstable. It is simply a small violent sea! The number of fish in the sea has decreased a lot. I remember that this port in the inter-sea should be one of the pillars of the fishery industry. , now I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch any fish at all.”

"Fish will also undergo certain mutations!" Another spy pointed to the water. The gray-haired middle-aged scholar waved his hand, and a fish that was swimming with the current of the ship was caught in the air by the starlight. People around him started shouting. Surrounded them.

"This seems to be a common marine fish that appears near the sea."

After all, he is a pirate general who has been living at sea for many years. Cattleya in the distance was also aroused by their academic discussions. The knowledge of the ocean and fish schools had long been instilled by the hidden sage, but abnormal sea areas such as the violent sea The ruins of Heshenzhan are not something that can be seen very often.

Before her status as a demigod could be announced, Cattleya pushed up her glasses and looked carefully at the fish suspended in mid-air.

Seeing this, Cattleya's eyes widened, and she suddenly understood why the other secret peepers were so keen on offshore research - she saw that the scales of this sea fish were smooth, and it was suspended in the air without losing water, as if there were water droplets on it. Its scales are tightly locked, and its eyes are protected by a film of water. A pair of membranes have even evolved near the fins on both sides of the body that can glide briefly on the sea. Its size is far beyond the average of its species, and it can even be called the largest one ever discovered. However, it is It’s still in the growth period!

As one of the victims of the divine war, Cattleya knew clearly that the tsunami was the Lord of Storms' divine punishment against Intis and an attack to reduce the opponent's anchor. It was not surprising that the seawater contained the spirituality of the gods.

But just these few are enough to cause marine life to mutate in such a short period of time, which is really beyond her imagination!

She couldn't help but think of Kavitua, the "Poseidon", and then consciously and blasphemously compared "Poseidon" and Kavitua separately.

"Being spiritually influenced by the 'Sailor' path?"

Another spy pushed up his glasses and exclaimed: "On the impact of spiritual power on ordinary life, discussing the differences in terms of age and different types, this is enough for the intellectuals in Lundberg to write ten, no, twenty articles paper!"

"The situation in the Raging Sea is somewhat similar to that here, but there are almost no species there... It has something to do with the spirituality of the 'Corpse Collector' path."

"Haha, compared to a group of zombie fish and zombie sea creatures, this kind of thing can make people relax."

"You can't say that. From an academic point of view, both zombies and sailors have equal research value."

"Maybe this kind of fish can be used as a material for potions in the future?"

The spying people whispered for a while, and someone noticed Cattleya who was looking here, and took the initiative to wave and say hello: "Pirate Captain! Do you want to come and take a look?"

Cattleya shook her head, and she continued to sit quietly where she was, as she had no sense of belonging to the Moss Ascetic Order.

The secret spy talked to her leisurely:

"I don't know what kind of social status and power we can have in Intis. It is said that the National Library of Trier has experienced two huge chaos after the fall of the Sauron royal family and the death of Emperor Russell. The book collection It’s a pity to think about the countless losses.”

Cattleya thought for a while, I was afraid that she would have to work in the ascetic order for a long time in the future, and interpersonal relationships were very important, so she still answered:

"Are you looking forward to your future life in Intis?"

"Compared with life, I'm more looking forward to gaining new knowledge." The secret spy scratched his head and said uncertainly, "It feels like I'm just continuing to live a scholar-like life in a different place. Everyone uses sign language to communicate and discuss academic matters. Knowledge, when you fall asleep, you continue to study; when you find the library, you bring dry food to live in; when you feel hungry and faint, you treat it as sleep; when the clothes are dirty, you continue to wear them..."

"..."

Cattleya turned her head politely and silently gave up the idea of ​​establishing a good relationship with this secret spy. Then she began to think about whether to give up the idea of ​​establishing a good relationship with all the secret scouts of the Moss Ascetic Order.

At this moment, Cattleya suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the port, and saw a huge black shadow flying precariously!

This black figure has the wings of the Russell glider prototype, the balloon of a small steam airship, the collision angle and streamlined hull of a ship. There are also many symbols of ritual magic flashing faintly on the hull. This thing seems to be more than just flying. Rely on that little balloon.

Cattleya didn't know what it was for a moment, but then, the black shadow began to tilt to one side.

There seemed to be a lot of people near the port. They seemed to be used to it. They were still whispering when the black shadow passed over their heads, not caring whether this huge thing would hit them. Immediately afterwards, a voyeur in a robe ran out with his clothes in hand and waved vigorously towards the unknown machine. The sound was amplified by a funnel-shaped object until it was deafening.

"To the sea! Fall to the sea!"

The secret spy was running and shouting. He no longer looked like a scholar at all, and his robe seemed to be his last stubbornness.

The craftsman on the ship made an OK gesture, and then skillfully controlled the flying ship to crash diagonally onto the offshore beach.

He passed by the ship of the Moss Trappist Order and said hello to the spies.

Immediately afterwards, a huge wave hit, and the secret spies on the sailboat of the Moss Trappist Order were completely shocked.

No one thought of opening a starlight barrier to block the water. Everyone opened their mouths wide, and their eyes followed the big ship as it fell to the offshore. The ship was quiet except for the sound of dripping water.

After a long time, a man suddenly let out a sigh and spat out a small crab that flew into his mouth, breaking the silence.

"What it is?!"

The secret spy standing next to Cattleya suddenly became excited: "Is it an improvement and practical application of 'Levitation Technique'?! Has Intis actually begun to try the combination of such high-end mysterious magic and real-life equipment?"

Cattleya was also slightly shocked. She carefully observed the big ship and confirmed that it was not a pirate ship. It had no gun ports, no offensive equipment, and no traces of military improvements. It was a pure cargo ship.

Intis actually used mystical power to transport goods? !

And this thing that simultaneously violates mechanics and machinery and abuses mysticism actually actually flies!

Soon, the craftsman climbed out of the boat, put a thick report on his head, and then skillfully swam the water close to his partner who was waiting on the dock made of only a few wooden boards.

He took the pencil off his ear, checked the form in the newspaper, and said with a smile:

"The hang glider you designed is useless."

"Why are you talking?" The secret spy was furious, "You have to try it before you know it's useless. If you can maintain balance, it's not useless!"

"The ship is already very balanced. Why do we need to maintain balance?" the craftsman said tit-for-tat. "It is better to improve the balloon and steering equipment than to improve the balloon and steering equipment! But your mysterious magic is very good, the fuel loss is indeed reduced, and it is windproof. The cost is reduced and it is comfortable. The increase is a good thing.”

The spy walked down the steps calmly:

"Then the next step is to improve the steering. It seems that the tail was stuck when you crashed."

"This probably can't be called a crash." The craftsman thought that he should be more rigorous. "It's called a ship crash. When I crashed, I discovered twelve small loopholes and errors in the design, including the misalignment of the hull's baffles. This improvement also Be a little more detailed.”

The craftsman wrote down a lot of data and details. The spy took it over and smacked his lips:

"Everything from the hull to the size of the balloon to the internal structure needs to be overhauled? You'd better just overhaul it this time. This is a big project."

"Well, it's gradually starting to improve. The engineering volume and design will only become more and more complex. We don't have enough manpower. It's time to find a way."

"Manpower? Isn't there enough manpower?"

The spy looked at the approaching ship and winked.

I saw curiosity written all over the faces of the people spying on the ship, obsessively observing the improved flying freighter, gathering in small groups to discuss data and designs, and knowing nothing about their fate when they were about to be captured. .

Cattleya also stood up, eager to jump off the boat and take a closer look.

Looking at these innocent lambs, the two of them smiled knowingly at the same time.
