With a bang, the door of the study was directly bombarded into pieces by the violence from the outside, and in the flying sawdust in the sky, a middle-aged man with a bookish breath broke into the door with a cold face, and his eyes quickly glanced at the entire study.

After seeing the row of untouched bookshelves, a trace of doubt flashed in the man's eyes.

At this time, he also recalled a little abnormality before: it was clear that the protective array set up on the dark grid where the deepest and most critical items were stored had already alarmed, why did the triggered alarm array at the entrance not respond at all until now?

The intruders bypassed the cordon set up at the outermost entrance?

However, the middle-aged man didn't have time to think about it, because at the moment when he had just seen the environment of the study, the connection with the protective circle arranged on the safe was suddenly cut off.

This means that the intruder has cracked the protective circle that he has carefully arranged!

"Little thief, you dare!!"

The middle-aged man's face changed suddenly, and he didn't care about leaving according to the process of the mechanism, he hurriedly raised his hand and waved, and a condensed spiritual power came out of his body, and a violent gale rolled up in the study out of thin air, whether it was the desk and soft chair in the center or the row of bookshelves in the back, and the murals that looked valuable on the wall hanging on the back of the bookshelves, all of them were forcibly swept to the corner of the wall under the sweep of this gale, revealing an inconspicuous secret door that was originally hidden behind the bookshelves and murals.

Without hesitation, the middle-aged man quickly opened the secret door and rushed into the tunnel that only allowed one person to pass inside, and then, he was at the end of the tunnel less than three meters away. I saw a scene that made me angry.

The combination lock of the safe was obviously fine, but a huge gap the size of a football had been directly broken on the outer wall, and the internal collection was completely unreservedly exposed.

"Damn! It's so fast?!" The middle-aged man's face suddenly became terrifyingly gloomy.

Looking at the empty safe nearby, the middle-aged man did not rush forward, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and a circle of spiritual light burst out from his fingertips, sweeping the entire dark space like water waves, and even through the wall, sweeping the entire study outside.

After a few seconds, the middle-aged man's face did not improve at all, but became even more cold.

"No?" The probing spells didn't detect any enemies in the vicinity?

How is this possible! Through the induction with the pre-arranged protective magic circle, the middle-aged man can be sure that at least the moment he broke into the study, the intruder was still cracking in front of the hidden safe, and this secret door can only enter and exit the only one he rushed into, since he did not bump into the intruder, then he would naturally think that the intruder was still hiding nearby.

So the middle-aged man immediately used the spell of the detection system, but as a result, he found nothing.

"Is there a means to hide traces or something?" The middle-aged man suddenly raised his vigilance, and the one who was able to hide the traces under his detection spell was definitely not a weak hand.

The middle-aged man who was cautious directly used the most brutal way, he raised his hand and condensed an almost condensed spiritual power light cluster in the palm of his hand, and then raised his hand and threw it out forcefully towards the space in front of him.

The aura exploded, turning into dense spiritual power needles more than two inches long that emitted cold light, and these light needles shot out like a torrential rain, and with the power of a high-pressure air nail gun, the stone wall made a dense cracking sound.

In the blink of an eye, the four walls around the safe and even the inside of the safe were nailed with light needles, each of which was more than an inch deep, not only making deep cracks in the wall, but also allowing only two fingers to fit in at most.

Basically, even if there is an enemy hidden in the shadows, it will definitely be exposed under such a dense blow.

However, what made the middle-aged man frown was that even under this kind of attack, the space in front of him still did not appear any abnormal, and there were no invisible enemies that he had expected.

At the very least, it's certain that the enemy is really not near the safe.

"Pissen!"

"Whoop......" A white wolf with shiny body hair came out of a burst of spiritual light and dust, and after responding to the peace, he began to stir his nose according to the will of the deed owner, sniffing around the space in front of him.

"Woo ......"

After more than ten seconds, the white wolf stopped this behavior, raised his head and called at the middle-aged man twice.

Even without spiritual communication through contractual contact, the middle-aged man could understand the meaning of the white wolf elf, which indicated that it had found no trace of the smell of a suspected intruder.

As a phantom beast elf, the white wolf's ability to smell and track is far beyond that of a well-trained tracking dog in the world, and since it can't do it, then this clue must be broken.

After repeatedly confirming that there should be no enemies nearby, the middle-aged man immediately stepped forward to check the condition of the safe.

He saw that the batch of gold and a few precious gems that he had kept in the safe were gone, but they were nothing, anyway, they were only used to confuse the real hidden items in the safe.

Skipping the outer layer, the middle-aged man reached in and pressed a place on the inner wall of the safe, and then slowly applied the force of the press, and after a while, after a crisp click, the place where his fingers were pressed directly recessed into a square area three centimeters long and wide.

After pressing the sunken square plate half an inch, he applied force to it upwards and moved it up half an inch.

Click-

The sound of the gear turning sounded, and when he heard the sound, the middle-aged man withdrew his hand, and saw that the metal wall was directly lifted up on the entire side, revealing another small space behind him.

The middle-aged man pulled out a document bag without accident, and after carefully examining it, he confirmed that the stack of letters inside were all intact, and some special markings that only he knew were all there, proving that the contents were still original, and he let out a sigh.

Fortunately, it seems that although the intruder broke the protection of the safe, he finally arrived in time and did not lose the really important things inside.

The envelope here contains some evidence that is enough for the empire to deprive him of his title and the whole family to be arrested in prison together, so the middle-aged man is not nervous.

Although it seems to be a false alarm, there is no doubt that there was indeed an intruder who visited just now, and almost succeeded, even if the thing was not lost, it was no longer safe to continue to put it in this exposed location, and it was necessary to find another more private place.

On the top of a high-rise building with a distance of 500 meters outside the villa, Jiang Yan's figure quietly emerged, glanced at the entire villa that had become lively because of the male host's sudden strange behavior, shook his head, and turned around to leave directly.

A moment later, Jiang Yan booked a hotel and stayed in, crossed his knees on the floor of the guest room, and a cloud of data fell from the void, materializing into various items in front of Jiang Yan's eyes.

It was ink, quills, paper, glue, scissors, paint, and all sorts of things.

Jiang Yan took these tools and began to get busy, and from time to time there were bursts of spiritual light flashing in his hands.

At this moment, on his shoulder, a silver data chain flowed out of the void again, gathered and formed on his shoulder, and after a few breaths, it turned into the appearance of a clone of Slime Xiaobai.

"Welcome back. ”

"Mi-" Xiao Bai intimately rubbed Jiang Yan's cheek with his soft body in response.

"Well, Lord Earl seems to have calmed down for the time being, although I'm not sure how long I can hide it, but it has nothing to do with me anyway, as long as I don't expose it during my mission, it'll be fine. Jiang Yan muttered to himself and continued the work at hand.

Ten minutes later, with a wave of his hand, he packed up all the tools in front of him again in the form of digital transmission, and then looked down at the extra stack of envelopes in his hand, and laughed silently.

If you look closely, you will find that the stack of envelopes in his hand is exactly the same as the stack that the countt carefully checked and confirmed just now, and if you open it, you will find that even the handwriting of the letter writer and all the secret marks in it are completely identical. If there is a difference, it is probably that the letter paper in Jiang Yan's hand looks a little new, and the handwriting on it still faintly wafts the fragrance of the ink that has just been written and dried.

"Although it was forged temporarily, with my precise control and the falsification based on the data obtained from the ability scanning, the degree of restoration is 99%, which is enough. ”

That's not all, Jiang Yan then waited for a while, and after Mr. Earl over there had relocated the genuine letters and left to deal with other things, he activated his ability again.

One of the pages of the letter, which Monsieur Count had carefully hidden, suddenly trembled slightly, and then a white, almost transparent film peeled off from the back, which wriggled and coalesced together into a snow-white pom-pom the size of a soybean.

Immediately after, Jiang Yan's senses were linked to this extremely small white doppelganger, and the digital streamer of the ability appeared, enveloping all the letters.

In the next second, all the letters turned into wisps of data that were absorbed by Xiaobai's mini clone and disappeared directly.

Subsequently, another cloud of data was 'spit out' by Xiaobai's mini clone, and re-materialized into stacks of letters.

However, if someone uses a sophisticated instrument to detect and compare at this time, they will find that this stack of letters is no longer the same item as the one just now.

All of them have been replaced with high-imitation camouflage products made by Jiang Yan temporarily!

"Tsk, if it weren't for the fact that my true spiritual cultivation hadn't been restored, and it was too laborious to calculate the coordinates of the multi-dimensional space directly out of thin air, I would have been able to even remotely locate things remotely without even Mr. Earl noticing the abnormality, and then apply the data transfer!"

Jiang Yan was a little dissatisfied and thought about it, but after thinking about it again, this idea was thrown away by him again.

"If you really want to do that, stealing a military-level elf can make things without any traces, and it's a bit exaggerated, and the tree is a big wind, but now it's just right." ’

At least this time, the Earl finally discovered his invasion, so as not to make Jiang Yan's mission too 'perfect' and too exaggerated.

Although Slime Xiaobai's stealth invasion was not even noticed by the Earl in the early stage, until the alarm circle was touched, the phenomenon that caused the other party to be alert had already revealed a lot of information, but this should still be within the tolerance of those high-level leaders of the empire.

Jiang Yan was so cautious, he just didn't want to be too ostentatious and cause unnecessary trouble.

Putting away the genuine letter in his hand, Jiang Yan'an slept until the next morning, before Shi Shiran got up and retreated from the guest room, returned to the dark stronghold of the imperial capital, and handed over the loot.

The content of the letter has already been explored clearly when he was scanning it with his ability, it is nothing more than a drama of the nobles and the empire colluding to enrich their own pockets, but the empire has not yet grasped tangible evidence, and the identity of the other party is a middle-class nobleman, and if he does it without full evidence, it will cause a lot of trouble, so there is no chaos.

Therefore, it is necessary to send a dark department like Jiang Yan with superb stealth ability to find out the evidence of the other party.

To be honest, if it weren't for the special recommendation of Angus Slint, the branch minister and city lord of Billon City, the top of the dark department would not have casually handed over this kind of task that would cause trouble and backlash if it failed to be exposed. This is not a question of trust or distrust, but simply questioning whether Jiang Yan's ability is competent.

As it turned out, the sub-minister's recommendation was justified.

"It's worthy of being recommended by Lord Sirint and getting the code name 'Phantom' at such a young age, and his abilities are really extraordinary. While helping Jiang Yan settle the procedures, the tasker exclaimed.

Hearing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, thinking to himself if he was a little ashamed of his code name, should he let the old man change it another day?

More than half a year has passed since the tentative meeting and conversation between Jiang Yan and Angus, and Jiang Yan's continuous dream interference through the seeds implanted by that spell countermeasure has begun to bear fruit.

After countless subtle but insistent dream interventions every night, Angus's mind has been imperceptibly guided, and his attitude towards Jiang Yan has become more and more gentle, recognized, and trusted.

For most of the past six months, Jiang Yan has been dispatched to perform several missions every month, and recently he has aimed all his goals at the level of a soldier-level elf envoy, which can be called rapid progress and extraordinary potential on the outside, and during the mission, Slime Xiaobai's ability to mimic stealth and camouflage is not hidden, and finally won Jiang Yan a code name like 'Phantom Concealment', which although he personally feels a little ashamed, but it is quite appropriate.

This mission was specially recommended to Jiang Yan by Angus after recognizing his loyalty and credibility.

By the way, since the birth of a second-level intelligent brain like Smithson, Jiang Yan directly threw the task of interfering with the old man's dreams to do it, and with its second-level intelligent brain strength, borrowing the back door left by Jiang Yan was enough to complete the task without arousing the vigilance of Angus, a veteran military-level elf envoy.

Jiang Yan, who was liberated from this work, was greatly relieved, although it was for the sake of profit, but if he had to bother to interfere with an old man's dream every day, it really made him feel awkward, looking at this progress, if he wanted to completely deal with the old man Angus, and transform his trust into loyalty, the dream interference project would have to last for at least more than a year, and if there was no Smithsonian help, Jiang Yan would have to be awkward for at least a year.

Fortunately, now there is finally a qualified subordinate who can do it for him.
