Since his last return from the crater at the southern foot of the Dark Mountains, Gawain has been gathering and investigating and reorganizing all known information about the Mithril Vault.

Behind this mysterious organization may be related to the dragon, and the dragon seems to be related to the situation of the entire continent, with the demon tide, and with the mysterious "black trap" phenomenon, on the other hand, the original owner of his body, Gawain?? Cecil also has some connection to the Mithril Vault...... These kinds of clues are connected, and he has to be more vigilant about this mysterious organization.

In the course of his investigation, Gawain discovers that there is more information about the Mithril Treasury than he thought, in fact...... The information can almost be described as vast.

The Mithril Treasury is ancient and mysterious, but it has never been an isolated organization, on the contrary, it is active in almost any land known to mankind, even including the realm of elementals and high-ranking monsters, it collects, keeps, rents, it trades with any country and any race, as long as it meets the "trading standards" of the Mithril Treasury, the agent of the Treasury will appear in front of you, and from this point, the Mithril Treasury can be said to be "open".

It even has fixed contact points in major cities, with fixed liaison personnel, and has established effective and stable official docking channels with local forces - even in Lu'an City, in Horsman City, in the old city of Peibo, there are a total of seven Mithril Treasury "stores", and there are more than a dozen low-level agents who operate those stores, and they are still operating normally.

All of them are century-old shops.

They are engaged in similar paid vaults and lending businesses, operating legally, with complete information, and they have also registered with the government affairs department for the first time after the reunification of the southern border, and one of the stores has even been named one of the outstanding merchants of the year in Horsman, and the photo of its agent taking the stage to receive the award has also appeared in the local newspaper of Horsman......

However, beyond this shallow information, the deeper information about the Mithril Treasury is not so easy to investigate.

Gawain investigated the information of some of the low-level agents, and confirmed that those people were all locals with innocent origins and unmistakable identification, and these low-level agents and grass-roots stores were responsible to a higher level of "regional agents", and the identities of these regional agents seemed to be fine, at least, Cecil's government department did not have a problem.

So, on which level did the Mithril Treasury make contact with the dragon?

Gawain still has no clue, but he thinks of Cecil's business intelligence network from the organizational form of the Mithril Treasury - an extremely secretive intelligence system with commercial organizations at all levels as the carrier and military intelligence agency agents as the key nodes, and he feels that the so-called agent system of the Mithril Treasury is probably something similar.

The silver-white ring emitted heat slightly, and as the magic power was injected into it, the spell solidified in the ring worked, and a slightly hoarse mature voice sounded in Gawain's ears, interrupting his thoughts: "Salute to you, Gawain??" Duke Cecil – Need help with business? ”

"Miss My little pony," Gawain said calmly, "I have some questions about the Mithril Treasury that I would like to consult in person. ”

After many investigations, he finally decided to make a direct contact and temptation, since that Miss Melita was already a "high-level agent", then Gawain had reason to believe that the other party at least had some high-level secrets. Anyway, the temptation is done, and valuable information is gained, and there is nothing to lose if it fails.

The voice on the other side of the ring paused visibly, and only after a moment did it sound: "Consult in person...... Is it an important question? ”

"It's important," Gawain said unhurriedly, "is there a difficulty?" ”

“…… No, no problem, the Mithril Treasury has always faithfully fulfilled the contract, "Melita?? Pernia's voice came, "Then I'll visit later—I'm near Cecil City." ”

The slight heat of the Mithril Ring gradually subsided, but Gawain frowned slightly.

That high-ranking agent happens to be near Cecil City? Is this a coincidence, or is it intentional? And what is the meaning of her taking the initiative to tell herself about this?

Theoretically, there won't be many "customers" who can talk directly to the high-level agents of the Mithril Treasury, and in the land of Cecil, I'm afraid there is only one, Melita?? It is not possible that Pernia is staying in this vicinity for other customers...... So, she has actually been waiting for her own contact?

Gawain shook his head, he felt that he might be overly sensitive, but ......

Considering the presence of dragons, it is better to be sensitive to this issue.

There wasn't much else to plan for today, so Gawain waited patiently in the lord's palace for the high-ranking agent's visit, and he didn't have to wait long.

As soon as the sun was tilting to the west, Betty ran into the study, and the little maid bowed to the end: "Master!" Someone is looking for you! She said her name was ......."

"Let her in," Gawain interrupted Betty, "and go get refreshments ready and bring them to the study." ”

"Hey! Good! ”

Gawain sorted out the papers on his desk, and after a few minutes, he heard footsteps coming from the hallway.

The door to the study opened, and a young lady in a purple gauze dress with a lilac veil over her face, a graceful and mysterious figure, led into the room by the maid Betty, who was none other than Miss Mithril's high-ranking agent of the Treasury of Mithril.

Betty temporarily retreated after bringing the guests to the study, and Gawain glanced at Melita, who didn't show any unusual expression, just nodded flatly: "Long time no see, Miss Agent." ”

"Long time no see, Duke Cecil," Melita nodded slightly, too, before ...... Slightly unsteady to Gawain's desk, "It's amazing that this city is really changing every day. ”

Gawain: "......"

Although this Miss My little pony has tried to maintain a stable and dignified posture, Gawain can still see at a glance that the other party's leg seems to be injured!

"What's wrong with your leg?!"

“…… There are always accidents in life," Miss Agent said calmly and indifferently, but I don't know if it was an illusion, Gawain saw a faint annoyance in the other party's eyes, "It doesn't affect the work at all...... It's just a minor injury. ”

Gawain was of course curious as to why a high-level agent of the Mithril Treasury was injured - and this agent was still a high-level transcendent nine times out of ten, but he was not in the habit of asking about the privacy of others, so he just pointed to the chair next to him: "Then sit down and talk - if I had known that you were injured, I wouldn't have called you here today." ”

"Mithril Treasury, reputation number one, we've never compromised customer service in the slightest, as we've done for thousands of years," Miss Agent sat down in her chair and continued seemingly casually before Gawain could begin the conversation, "and...... Our conversation today is going to be very necessary, isn't it? ”

Gawain's brows furrowed slightly: "Oh? ”

"Let's be honest, Duke Cecil," Melita?? Pernia sighed, "You ...... not long ago Ever led people to the southern part of the Dark Mountains, right? ”

Gao Wen's eyes froze slightly, but under his calm face, he was already startled in his heart.

In the midst of the sudden surge of assumptions and conjectures, he temporarily suppressed all the possibilities that came to him, and calmly looked into the eyes of the senior agent in front of him: "Do you know what we found there? ”

"You found ......" Melita?? Pernia whispered, then leaned over and brought her face closer to Gawain—

The seductive lilac eyes had turned into a pair of vertical pupils at some point, and fine scales faintly emerged from the sides of her eyes, and in a burst of powerful aura, her voice reached Gawain's ears—

"Dragon's traces, huh?"

Gawain looked at Melita's faintly dragon-like face rather calmly, and the latter quickly returned to normal after maintaining this posture for two seconds, and returned to his original position, Betty's voice came from outside the door in the next second: "Master! I've brought refreshments! ”

"Put it here," the atmosphere in the study instantly became normal, and Gawain asked the little maid to put the tea tray on the table, then nodded gently, "Let's go rest first—don't let anyone come to the study just yet." ”

"Hey, okay!!"

Betty obediently closed the door and left the room, Melita?? Pernia broke the silence with a chuckle after a brief pause, "I thought my eyes and scales would at least give you a little bit of stunning. ”

Gawain spread his hands: "Frankly - I still have a scaly one here, and she may have more scales than you alone, so I'm not so surprised by similar non-human physical characteristics." ”

This answer was somewhat unexpected for Melita, she was stunned for a moment, and her tone was a little helpless: "...... Miss Siren, indeed, you have a lot of ...... here. Wonderful people. ”

Gawain tried to maintain the most calm and indifferent posture at the moment, but in fact, countless thoughts had already passed through his mind quickly, and the first thought that came to his mind was to think of the dragon he had witnessed from a satellite perspective-

Melita?? Pernia, the high-ranking agent of the Mithril Vault, she should be the dragon!!

So the wound on her leg......

Could it be that this dragon lady crashes every time she throws off satellite tracking......

The clues in Gao Wen's mind seemed to be connected in an instant, but he guessed Melita?? Pernia shouldn't know the details of his role as a "satellite elf", and this dragon lady should only know that he had led people to explore the southern part of the Dark Mountains and discovered the impact crater, that is, she couldn't expose the information point of "crash", and she couldn't show that she knew in advance that the dragon was active in the southern part of the Dark Mountains......

He cautiously weighed the parts of the unequal intelligence on both sides, and based on Melita?? Pernia's act of revealing his identity judged the motives and purposes of the other party, and in the deliberation and judgment, he cautiously spoke: "Isn't it wonderful...... Krakens and dragons are more than just 'wonderful' to humans, and I'm lucky enough to have the opportunity to meet members of both legendary races. I'm curious, a dragon...... What does a dragon with the status of 'Mithril Treasury Senior Agent' want to do in the human world? ”

"Don't be so vigilant, dragons have no ill will towards the human world," Melita said, "but before I continue on this topic, I hope to retrieve something that I have accidentally lost—the precious possessions of the Mithril Treasury that I know are in your hands now, and I can feel their breath." ”

After Melita revealed her identity, Gawain guessed that the other party would mention the rings, and he casually took out the box of Mithril rings from a certain compartment under the desk and placed them on the table: "You mean these rings?" ”

"Yes—can you give it back to me?"

"Then we'll have to talk," Gawain leaned back slightly as he put his hand on the box, leaning back in his chair, "Let's start with the relationship between the Mithril Treasury and the dragon - are you a special case among the high-ranking agents?" ”

Melita didn't answer immediately, but looked into Gawain's eyes rather amusementingly: "You're very calm when facing the real dragons. ”

"I've been faced with the most surprising situation when I crawled out of the coffin," Gawain smiled slightly, "The dragon really didn't surprise me much. ”
