Chapter 235: A Million-Dollar Arcanta
"I've never seen this kind of vicious curse before, Elder Shen, I have a reluctant request......"
Before Archmage Jordan could say the request, Shen Fei had already nodded and agreed: "You can be allowed to collect a little sample and go back to study, but if you find it, notify me as soon as you find it, the deputy director of MI7 is working against the empire, and I will never let him go." ”
Shen Fei was furious, the shadow was the deputy director of MI7, and he was the most powerful "king of agents" in MI7, who was killed while on a mission outside, this is a provocation to the empire! Now that there is no person in charge of MI7, Shen Fei needs to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Archmage Jordan took out a crystal bottle from his arms, and it is the habit of every mage to carry the crystal bottle with him, after all, you don't know when you will suddenly find something rare.
Put a small piece of crumbs into a crystal bottle and seal it with a wooden stopper and magic.
The black curse detached from the flesh and struggled in the glass vial, forming a twisted and terrifying skeletal face.
According to Jordan's words, he had seen a lot of curses before, even the curse of the most vicious dark warlock of the frost orcs, but it was not as vicious as the curse in front of him.
It was probably the most vicious curse he'd ever seen, not one of them.
"The shadow is the deputy director of MI7, and in the current situation in the Holy City, I hope everyone can keep it a secret and not tell the news, so as not to cause unnecessary panic."
Ferdinand agrees with Shen Fei's words, and now that the country is in turmoil, he can no longer withstand any blows.
"I'm afraid that the news of the invasion of the frost orcs will not be hidden for too long, at least in March and May, and at most half a year, and now there can be no abnormal situation in the empire."
"What? Frost Orcs want to attack? ”
Shen Fei had been taking care of the shadow in the house just now, and he didn't know about this situation yet. Ferdinand gave Shen Fei a rough explanation of the situation, and Shen Fei's brows were twisted, and his face was ugly.
The king has not yet been found, MI7 has lost its tiger generals, and now even the frost orcs are already eyeing the army to assemble a large army. Behind the seemingly prosperous empire is full of holes, and the edifice will collapse.
"All the news of the shadow is closed, the funeral is simple, and it will be buried in the mountain behind the Warrior Monk Zen Temple, and I will say that I will go out on a secret mission and will not be able to return for a long time, so I can talk about it for a while." Shen Fei also made a decision, the shadow matter must not be revealed, otherwise public opinion and the people will panic, and something big will happen.
"One news of a frosty orc invasion is enough, the Empire can no longer afford any other negative news."
"Elder Shen, don't worry, there are only so many people who know the news today, everyone is for the empire, and they will definitely not reveal the news."
Countess Mary stood at the door and said, "I'm afraid that if the person who hurts the shadow doesn't think so, he may make a big deal about creating chaos, and even force the shadow to come out." ”
Shen Fei frowned, this is indeed a big problem, and he thought about it: "It's okay, I've recently found someone to dress up in disguise, anyway, the shadow doesn't often appear in the public eye, everyone doesn't have a deep impression of him, I hope I can get by." ”
"This is also a way, at least you can stabilize the situation first." Mary replied.
"It just so happens that everyone is here, if you can't do it, let's just do the funeral, you are all friends of the shadow before his death, and he doesn't have any relatives other than that......"
Everyone has no objection to this, and they happened to be here today, so the funeral was done by the way.
The funeral of the shadow was very simple, there was no mourning and no convoy, only a few "comrades-in-arms" before their deaths.
The funeral was presided over by Archbishop Mailer, and he was buried in a drizzling rain on the mountain behind the Warrior Monk Monastery.
"Shadow, the king of agents who guarded the empire in the shadows during his lifetime, and today many friends bear witness to your history and experience. Although your body has been buried in the earth, your spirit will always guide us, and the heroic spirit will be immortal, may you rest in peace. ”
After Mailer finished speaking, he sprinkled a handful of holy light on the cemetery, and the holy light all melted into the soil of the cemetery, spitting out new green shoots.
The sudden departure of the shadow washed away the joy of everyone's PUBG trial, and coupled with the latest first-hand news from Ferdinand's military, the face of the Imperial Minister of Military Aircraft was clouded with a layer of gloom.
Everyone said goodbye and left one by one, only Archmage Jordan stood in front of the cemetery for a long time.
"People can't be resurrected after death, everyone has left, why are they still standing here?" Shen Fei stared at Archmage Jordan's back and asked.
"Maybe it's because I'm old and likes to be sad and sad!" Archmage Jordan put his hands behind his back, turned around and prepared to leave.
Shen Fei raised his hand to stop Jordan and asked, "Can the archmage help me make something, add money to discuss." ”
Archmage Jordan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Shen Fei to ask him for help as well.
"There are still things that Elder Shen can't handle, let's talk about ......"
Shen Fei told the archmage about his needs, Jordan's brows became tighter and tighter, and when Shen Fei finished speaking, he said: "This thing can be made, but because the price is relatively high, and the materials are extremely precious, it is ...... in terms of price."
"Just tell me how much it is, and you can understand why I want this thing."
Archmage Jordan pondered for a moment, then calculated, "One million gold coins." ”
"No problem, I will ask Fuman to transfer the money directly to your Mage Academy's account, I hope to get the finished product as soon as possible."
"In that case, I'll go back and prepare now."
Archmage Jordan was quite envious, and he didn't even blink his eyes for a million gold coins, but he also understood Shen Fei's sense of distress, after all, no one could say what drastic changes would happen at that time, so prepare in advance and try to minimize the loss.
After Archmage Jordan left, Shen Fei returned to the study and sighed.
Suddenly, a black liquid-like thing slipped through the crack in the door, and then gradually rose up to take shape, turning into a shadow.
"Thank you, Boss!"
Shen Fei waved his hand and said, "Why do we need to thank each other, now everyone thinks that you are dead, and you have truly become a shadow." ”
The shadow smiled suddenly: "Only by becoming a shadow can some things be investigated." ”
"I didn't ask in detail just now, you said that the other party sent a team to surround you, and finally fell under the curse of hiding in the shadows, and used the shulker technique to escape?"
Shadow's face was extremely ugly: "I went to investigate this matter, in addition to the adults knowing, I revealed it to the three senior agents before leaving, I wanted to test it, but I didn't expect to almost lose my own life." The shadow touched his chest, and when he saw the body that had been blown up in his chest, he couldn't help but gasp, and he still had palpitations.
The other party has been prepared for a long time, and is ready to kill the shadow directly with one blow.
If it weren't for Shen Fei, the shadow would really be like the corpse buried in it today, and the heart would have exploded and died.
After the shadow woke up an hour, he immediately felt angina, and when he tore open his shirt, he saw that something was wriggling in his heart, and his meridians were blackened, like spider webs.
As soon as the shadow was about to say something to Shen Fei, his heart exploded directly, blasting through his chest, and blood was splattered all over the ground.
Shen Fei was also frightened by this scene, and immediately came to the Dream Zen Realm with the corpse of the shadow in his arms, and used the permission to isolate all perceptions around him. First, he used his absolute control over the Dream Zen Realm to create an identical corpse of death, and then used [Luna's Blessing] to bring the shadow back to life with the power of the moon god.
It is definitely not a simple matter to pull the dead back from hell.
The price was that Shen Fei lost four-fifths of the Luna Luna's favorability, and the rest of the favorability was only able to summon two beams of Luna Light.
Because the permission to enter the dream meditation realm is isolated, the movement of summoning the moon god is not known to a third person.
After the shadow was reborn, he told Shen Fei what happened to him.
The shadow determined that someone among the several senior agents must have "leaked" the news, and wanted to investigate but was stopped by Shen Fei.
Now that the shadow is dead, then simply let this identity disappear from the world, and the shadow will be a dead person from now on. The real shadow will be transformed and appear in front of the world with another identity. Knowing the news of Shadow's death reassures some people and shifts their attention elsewhere, making it easier for Shadow to investigate.
So there was a later scene, Shen Fei appeared in the PUBG Trial, told everyone about the killing of the Shadow Mission, and held a funeral for him, making this person completely disappear from the world.
No one would have thought that a dead man would continue to appear in the world, engaged in the previous investigation.
"So, you found out the news, and finally sneaked into Downton Abbey and were caught by the enemy who had already laid an ambush?"
Shadow's face was extremely ugly, and as the king of agents, it was a shame to be in prison for himself.
"Is Downton Abbey a noble manor, or a member of the Imperial Consortium, will this matter have anything to do with the Countess? Do I want to ...... again?"
Shen Fei raised his hand and interrupted the shadow: "I will hand over this matter to others to investigate, you are now focusing on the traitors of MI7." In the coming period, I will assign a lot of 'secret' missions to the senior agents, and when the time comes, I will find out the details and hand over the list to me. ”
This time the shadow was almost killed, and it was a standard conspiracy between the inside and the outside.
For the sake of the security of intelligence in the future, Shen Fei must find out all the internal ghosts of MI7.
You don't have to wipe them all out, you just have a list.
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and the same is true of MI7.
Keep these people in MI7 and give them some "food" in peacetime, so that they mistakenly think that they are not detected. Give wrong hints on key intelligence, and when the time comes, you will be wiped out together with the forces behind them.
"Boss, Downton Abbey is extremely dangerous, you leave it to others, I'm afraid you're going to die......" Shadow was worried, although there were moles in MI7, most of the agents were still loyal, and let these people die, Shadow couldn't bear it.
"There's no hurry, the investigation isn't just a way to sneak in. The enemy can plant a traitor within us, and we can also plant a traitor within them. What do you think of the Vespa? ”
"Vespa, is that mid-level agent who finished first in the last PUBG Trial?" The shadow is very impressive, after all, he won the first place in the first PUBG, which is also the glory of MI7.
"He also got a good result in second place in this PUBG trial, so don't worry about strength."
Shadow also watched the PUBG Trial last time, and being able to get the top few results in it is more of an improvisation than luck. This time, the Wasp was able to win second place, which shows that he is extremely adaptable and fully capable of this task.
The shadow nodded, since the wasp had this strength, it was only fitting to penetrate the enemy's interior.
"Okay, everything is up to the boss, and I'll contact you one-way in the future."
"By the way, today Grand Duke Ferdinand also said that there is something wrong on the side of the frost orcs, and the horn of war is about to sound, and we must solve the internal troubles before the external troubles, as the so-called external must first settle the internal ......."
The shadow nodded emphatically, the frost orcs had begun to move before, and the shadow had already guessed that they would move, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly and violently, so there was not much time left for them......
The shadow said that he left directly, as the so-called cunning rabbit three holes, the shadow himself also has a lot of secret bases.
Now that he has "whitewashed" his identity, he has more identities and methods to investigate, but he has removed his shackles.
All of his targets were now on a few high-ranking agents, and he wanted to see who was behind the mole.
Shen Fei's mood now is indescribable, there are moths in the empire, and he has been doing it since more than ten years ago. This time, when Shadow was about to find out the truth about Sean's murder, he almost ended up with Sean.
When external troubles are coming, it is simply mad to do it to their own people.
Shen Fei has now made some back-moves, and only hopes to wait until the crisis really breaks out to suppress it with thunderous means.
The Holy City is still normal, there are no waves, only a few people know the "truth", and only a few people have the truth.
In the afternoon, Shen Fei walked around the inner door and found that the classroom was empty, only the elite teacher was meditating alone.
"Uncle Shi, all the inner disciples have gone to Shushan for trial, and they won't be able to come back until tomorrow."
"It's only been a few days since the last trial, why did they go in again?" Shen Fei was a little curious, shouldn't this group of guys be soaked in trials every day?
"They only entered today, and some inner disciples spent money to buy tickets for the PUBG trial, and after watching the performance of the disciples of other forces, they felt humiliated, so they all went to the trial after the end."
Shen Fei smiled, even if he felt humiliated, it was the matter of the elite disciples, and a group of inner disciples followed and mixed something.
"Okay, I see, I'll go over and have a look now."
After Shen Fei finished speaking, he went directly to Shushan to check the situation of the inner disciples' trials.
When he came to the foot of Shushan Mountain, Shen Fei saw that before the first Cen killed the Resident Evil Trial, the ten portraits on the mountain wall had all been filled, and at least ten people had already cleared the trial. Then Shen Fei checked it through the permission, and there were already 15 people who had successfully cleared the trial.
This also shows that there are at least five teams in the second layer of the King of Fighters trial.
Now that's where it gets interesting......
Shen Fei wanted to see how far these disciples' ideas could go under the combo of the King of Fighters trial.
