As soon as the Imperial General finished reading the simple content on the secret letter, his curious expression suddenly changed, and he seemed to be extremely shocked!

"This is the letter you got from those demon agents in the Iron Wolf Cottage?" The Imperial General asked in surprise.

"Yes, I feel that this matter is very important, so I specially asked the general to help me solve my doubts." Li Ming nodded.

"You're doing a great job, it's really important, and you can't let anyone else know! Once this matter leaks out, then the person who wrote the letter will definitely find a way to cover up the evidence! The Imperial General frowned and said.

"General, looking at your appearance, it seems that you have long known that there are demon spies in the temple?" Li Ming asked suspiciously.

"This secret is not only known to General Ben, but also to the royal family for a long time. Every time we fight with the demons, the other party can always know some of our information in advance, and they are all very core secrets, and we have long begun to pay attention to the situation inside the temple, the discovery of your secret letter, just to determine the inside of the temple, and it is someone among the high-level priests who colluded with the demons. The Imperial General said.

"I see...... General, can't you use this secret letter to find out the information that hides the enemy? Li Ming asked.

"The young man thinks well, but you must know that the temple is the guardian of our empire and even the royal family, even if we suspect the existence of enemy traitors in the temple, but there is no conclusive evidence, and we can't suspect a high-ranking priest at will." The Imperial General shook his head and said.

"You mean that the evidence of this secret letter is not enough, and more favorable evidence must be obtained?" Li Ming asked.

"That's it, we must find out which priest is secretly making trouble, so that we can question the temple, otherwise rashly taking out this secret letter will only make the other party startled, and it will be difficult to find out his clues in the future." The Imperial General said.

"I understand......" Li Ming frowned, the effect of this secret letter is indeed limited......

"Young man, I didn't expect you to find such evidence, maybe you can help General Ben do more things, I don't know if you are willing to keep it a secret and continue to help General Ben pursue it?" The Imperial General asked with a smile.

"But my strength is limited, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to do such a big thing." Li Ming said.

"Don't worry, General Ben won't let you risk difficult things, and General Ben is also worried about leaking these things out too soon. All you need to do is secretly accept the general's orders and help the empire find out the existence of this traitor. The Imperial General said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

Bite...... System: Congratulations to the player, you have successfully triggered the first step of the hidden story quest [Mystery of the Temple] [Secret Collusion of Secret Agents], do you accept the request of the Imperial General to help the General secretly continue to probe the enemy's clues?

……

Accept!

Seeing that the system task prompt suddenly popped up, Li Ming immediately chose to confirm.

Such a task must have a lot of benefits, and if you don't accept it, it will be cheaper for other players......

"Very good, your bravery is beyond General Ben's expectations, since you are willing to continue to help General Ben find out the truth about the traitor, then we have to explore slowly step by step. Now that you have obtained this superstition from the demon secret agents outside the city, it can be seen that the demon clan has long been ambushed by many secret agents in our territory, always paying attention to the situation of our empire, and continuing to obtain the secrets of the empire from this traitor, this matter must be solved as soon as possible. Therefore, General Ben still hopes that you will continue to follow the clues of this secret letter......" the Imperial General said with relief.

Bite...... System: Congratulations to the player for making it clear that you have successfully gained the trust of the Imperial General, and the [Templar Suspicion: Tracking Agent] mission has officially begun: the General asks you to continue to explore the possible spy lairs in all maps near the Imperial City, and find a way to obtain more spy information. This quest is a progressive reward mission, and every spy lair you discover will increase your mission reward, and the more spy nests you discover, the more rewards you will receive!

Reminder: This quest is valid for one week, the timer will start after receiving the task, and the reward will be evaluated according to the number of discoveries at the end of the task time, so please be sure to pay attention to the task time and explore as soon as possible!

……

Swish!

The system information appeared again, Li Ming's taskbar was shining with golden light, and a new task appeared.

This time, there are no reward hints in the mission information, only a countdown red time number is jumping fast......

This is a deadline collection task, as long as Li Ming keeps exploring the field map during the mission period, the more and more demon secret agent lairs he discovers, the higher the reward he can get.

It can be seen that outside the Heavenly Mandate Imperial City, the demon clan has hidden too many secret agent nests, watching all the important information of the Heavenly Mandate Empire!

Now that Li Ming has completely understood the requirements of this task, the Iron Wolf Cottage is one of the spy nests, and it seems that he has to go back and lie down, even if he completes the exploration of one of the secret agent nests.

"Young man, this matter is very important, you must explore carefully, and when all your discoveries are reported, General Ben will find a way to eradicate these demon secret agent lair, find clues to the traitor, and at the same time, ensure the safety outside the imperial city." The Imperial General said with satisfaction.

"General, wait, I have one more thing." Li Ming saw that he was about to end the dialogue plot, so he hurriedly said.

"What other questions do you have?" The Imperial General asked curiously.

"I want to ask the general, have you ever heard of the name Tibetan Sword Cottage?" Li Ming asked.

He looked at the age of the general who seemed to be over 50 years old, and the Tibetan Sword Cottage that was destroyed 30 years ago, maybe he could know something about it.

"Tibetan Sword Cottage? This is a previous forger family of the Imperial Legion, specializing in helping the Imperial Legion craft weapons and warframes, why do you suddenly ask about them? The Imperial General asked curiously.

"You really know the Tibetan Sword Cottage! Great, the general should also know what happened to the Tibetan Sword Cottage, right? Li Ming asked excitedly gratefully.

"General Ben joined the army at a young age, of course he knows that the Tibetan Sword Cottage is very famous for making heavy swords and armor, but after so many years, the Tibetan Sword Cottage seems to have no longer continued to provide weapons and equipment for the Imperial Legion, and no one has mentioned the existence of this cottage anymore." The Imperial General said.

"The general didn't know that the Tibetan Sword Cottage had been slaughtered 30 years ago, and the entire cottage had died!" Li Ming said.

"And there are cases like this...... However, this kind of thing is handled by the city lord, and the general is only in charge of the army, and he doesn't know about the whole thing. The Imperial General said in surprise.

"I understand what you mean, the bloody case of the Hidden Sword Cottage is the responsibility of the City Lord's Mansion, and the army does not interfere in this matter." Li Ming knew that the next step was to go to the city lord.

"You wait first, what's going on with the Tibetan Sword Cottage, can you tell General Ben?" The Imperial General asked.
