Chapter 301: Words Like Edges
The mechanism that emitted a needle rain above his head stopped, and at this time, Lin An's last word had just fallen, during which Lin An's mirror reversal technique did not change his posture, and Sidney sat firmly opposite Komert with a calm expression. γγ
Komert's face was ugly, and he glanced at the honeycomb-like ceiling above his head.
"Although I have overestimated as much as possible, it seems that I still far underestimate the true strength of the two,"
Comert said slowly, but his tone became softened later, and his hand was still fiddling with the green ring on his hand, "Tell me, the purpose of your appointment to stay." β
"Before you tell you the purpose, you might as well take off the ring on your hand."
Lin An's words made Komert's face change, and his hand paused, and a green light shot out from the ring on his right hand, not towards Lin An and the others, but towards the ceiling diagonally behind Komert.
But faster than his green light was Lin An's mirror reflection technique, which suddenly appeared in the middle of the green light, reflecting the green light in another direction, and a cat's opal earring on Lin An's right ear cracked from it, and a blue light hit the original destination of the green light, denting a small area on the ceiling, turning it into a glazed plane that had been burned at high temperatures.
Whatever the purpose of the green light shining there, it was now gone. γγ
The green ring snapped in half from his hand and fell to the ground.
Komert really smiled bitterly, his hands no longer on the armrests on either side of the single seat, leaned back back, and sat there relaxed, his hands exposed, resting on his laps, to show that he had not made any more small movementsβhe knew that the two opposite him would not give him another chance, and if he made any more movements, he would probably not be able to sit here peacefully.
"I've been doing intelligence for more than ten years, and this time it's completely planted." -- It was planted in the hands of two young mages.
Komert couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Excellency has not cultivated Dou Qi and magic, and can swim out of our closed group at will. It's already pretty remarkable. β
Lin An didn't think that Comert's methods were exhausted, even if it was the end of the road, it was not enough to make an experienced intelligence officer compromise so quickly, so she spoke very politely, and her heart was not relaxed at all. The spiritual power sensed the entire room, and at the same time secretly laid several protective barriers around him.
"Say it. "What do you want?" Cormert cocked Erlang's legs. Lean back on the back of the sofa.
"I just want to get some answers to your questions from you, and by the way, talk to your about cooperation."
Lin An smiled slightly, thinking that the other party had not forgotten to explore their tone and purpose at this time, his personality was really very tenacious, no wonder he dared to mix into the mage group as an ordinary person, and he was like a fish in water.
"Cooperation?"
Comert scoffed:
"You don't think that if I fall into your hands, you can make me betray the Order! β¦β¦ Little guys, you imagine the Empire's intelligence system too simply, believe it or not, once I haven't been in someone's sight for more than half a day. The organization will immediately notice your small moves? β
"In that case, they will also know the news that Your Excellency has exposed...... What will happen to an intelligence officer whose identity is exposed, equivalent to an abandoned son, your relatives, wife and children, and friends? β
"You threaten me?"
Comert sneered. There was a wolfish ruthlessness in the depths of his eyes, which surprised both Lin An and Sidney that an ordinary person could have such an imposing momentum. γγ
Sidney became interested in Komert at this time, and his eyes wandered over Komert:
Well. The physique is indeed a little ordinary, but the victory lies in outstanding willpower...... If Lin An couldn't successfully recover this person in the end, and gave him to use it to refine the ghost knight, with this person's willpower, it was likely that he would be able to survive the refining process and increase the success rate of at least two layers of refining.
Comert didn't know what Sidney's gaze meant in staring at him, and most of his attention was still focused on the conversation with Lin An, only a distraction or two on the escape and the observation of his surroundings.
This is extremely rare for an experienced intelligence officer who has lived for more than ten years, because even if Lin An did not suppress him with mental power, the pressure on him was no less than that of those ruthless criminals and demons, as well as those cunning and abnormal politicians who had been secretly watched by the intelligence system for a long time and were still not sure to capture conclusive evidence.
"Threats? No, no, you misunderstood me, I'm just helping you analyze your situation-"
Lin An looked at Komert gently, there was even a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was beautiful.
"More than a decade of intelligence work has made you a great feat, and you have also established many enemies - of course, I believe that with the professionalism of you and the organization behind you, Komert would not be your real name, or your current appearance is not real, and the forces of your enemies will not be able to find you lightly......"
Lin An's voice paused, and then continued:
"However, you are now in the middle of a key contest and have had your identity exposed, and your competitors and the supporters behind them may feel that you are in their way - and there may be people in your organization who have not had a good relationship with you before and are happy to see your misfortune end......"
Lin An spread her hands gently, and Komert's face became more and more ugly with her words,
"I believe that with the discipline of the organization behind you, you don't have many opportunities for those enemies and adversaries to take advantage of, but an intelligence officer who has been exposed by mistake is not necessarily worth expending resources to protect - hehe, of course, no organization will treat the heroes lightly, but as is often the case, there will always be some regrets that we are not happy to see...... Happens unexpectedly. γγβ
After saying it meaningfully, Lin An smiled slightly,
"I don't know much about your intelligence system, but I also know that intelligence work is always difficult to do, and self-sacrifice may also bring danger to one's family and friends, which is very unfair to a hero who is loyal to the empire and has paid a lot of silent but cannot be rewarded with justice......
She slowed her voice and said softly as if hypnotic:
ββ¦β¦ If I were you, at least when faced with some choices, I would think about it a little more and leave an extra way for myself. γγβ
"Your Excellency's words, among the rebellions I have encountered over the years, are not the most beautiful and touching ......"
Komert said lightly, clasped his hands on his knees, closed his eyes, and laughed slowly,
"But the timing of your appearance is right, and the tone of your voice is right to persuade me, not so much that it offends me, and not so weak as to make me ignore it, that I almost can't help but think that you are a professionally trained intelligence officer...... From this point of view, it is not easy for you to master the conversation from beginning to end - well, if I am not mistaken, the one of the two of you who actually calls the shots is actually you! β
Komert opened his eyes suddenly, and his gaze shot straight at Lin An like a hunt.
Lin An intertwined his fingers and looked at him with a smile without saying a word.
Sidney on the side looked at Komert indifferently, he didn't use the secret method of concealment, and his sense of existence was not low at all.
Comert ignored Sidney, only stared at Lin An, and soon seemed to get the answer, hehe laughed.
"People have the inertia of thinking, so the two not superb acting skills cover up the fact - hehe, who would have thought that a female mage who appeared out of nowhere could allow Master Doyev's most loyal personal disciple to enter the second floor of the Tower of Babel, and Master Elvis, who is known for his arrogance and loneliness, willingly occupy the lower position...... The meaning behind this is really shocking when you think about it! β
Komert dragged out his voice and said a little strangely, looking at Sidney's reaction, but unfortunately he didn't see the desired effect, his face suddenly changed again, his lowered voice became a little hoarse, and he sneered a few times-
"Your Excellency is right, in the intelligence industry, sometimes you do have to leave a way back for yourself, and Your Excellency does have the qualifications to become a back road, but I don't know - your road is wide enough, is there any stones and traps to stumble?"
Lin An smiled softly and gently, "Whether it is wide enough or not, whether you stumble or not, you must try it yourself, otherwise you will probably not believe what I say." β
"Indeed, this is also the professional habit of doing our business,"
The corners of Komert's mouth drooped, but he seemed to be smiling, "And after doing it for so many years, I have indeed hindered the eyes of many people, blocked the path of many people, and made many enemies, and I have to find a few more partners for myself, otherwise I will be planted inexplicably like today." β
Lin An shook his head gently, knowing that Komert still had doubts, suspecting that someone had betrayed him in secret.
"Our meeting today has nothing to do with anyone other than us. In fact, I was also surprised that Your Excellency, as a strong contender for the leader of the four-leaf flower, actually mixed into this small circle around us, so I couldn't help but spend some energy to check, and finally ...... It can only be said that every qiΔ is the arrangement of the goddess of fate! β
Lin An looked at Komert sincerely.
"Do what we do, don't believe in God! I don't believe in the so-called fate! β
Comert sneered and squinted at Lin An, as if to say, don't sue me and you believe!
Lin An was still smiling, unmoved by Komert's questioning and mockery, although he had the upper hand, he still maintained his bearing and self-cultivation towards Komert, who was at the downside, even if he was provoked, he was not angry at all.
Comert's heart gradually sank, knowing that the woman in front of him was deep and almost invulnerable, without the shortness and vigor that ordinary women and young people often have, and she was as old as an old monster who had lived for decades.
If it was said that being identified and missed at the beginning only made him a little jealous but did not lose confidence, then as he discovered the identity of Lin An's master and slave and further learned about Lin An's character, Komert knew that his chances of escape were getting less and less.
When neither the words nor the means at hand can threaten the other party, Komert knows that if he doesn't want what the other party says to come true, then he must pay some tangible price.
