Since the wide-area spirit wave monitoring enchantment hadn't found it, the head of the garrison didn't think he had to think about tracking the other party.

It's not that the monitoring ability of the wide-area spiritual wave monitoring enchantment is foolproof, but at least, if the other party is the kind of person who can evade the monitoring of this enchantment, it is either extremely strong or the means are extremely special, and it is very difficult to deal with in either case.

And the key thing is, there are no clues now.

"Did those 'cultists' disappear when the Lord of Dreams first appeared?"

"That's right, they all disappeared together on the night of seven days ago, and after the fact, it can be confirmed that the time error before and after all of them disappeared will not exceed an hour!"

"Apparently this is not a coincidence, is it?" muttered the chief of the guard, "Was it premeditated?"

Although it was not prevented, it is really difficult to say that those "Alien God Believers" have nothing to do with the current "Dream Lord" at such a coincidental time. What do you think?" said Jossen.

"Definitely. The Chief of Security nodded, then asked, "Then, you seem to have mentioned another suspect just now, right?"

"Hongjing Chamber of Commerce. Qiao Sen explained: "According to many clues, this chamber of commerce, which has only been newly established in the past month, seems to have the participation of 'alien god'-related forces behind it. If nothing else, the information we read from the souls of the tabloid reporters who had been hinted at by the demagoguery shows that they were commissioned to help the "Dream Lord" with propaganda and received corresponding rewards, some of which were grants of special knowledge and skills similar to the "Gift of the Alien God", and some of them received a special spirit with a special skill of mutation of good quality and a high degree of obedience to the deed owner!"

"Needless to say, the former is the usual style of 'Alien Gods', and the latter reminds me of the special goods of the Rainbow Crystal Chamber of Commerce - they often sell this kind of special elves that can guarantee customers with a contract success rate of more than ninety percent, and often have special skills that other elves of the same kind do not have!"

"In addition, the establishment time of that chamber of commerce is also a bit of a coincidence. ”

"That's why I suspect the rainbow crystal chamber of commerce!" A touch of helplessness appeared on Qiao Sen's face: "However, because the other party's background is relatively special, and there are several noble forces with high titles in the empire standing behind it, and we have no right to forcibly search it before there is evidence, so we have not been able to collect more information for the time being, and it is only the stage of suspicion." ”

"Hongjing Chamber of Commerce...... You're right, they're probably the most suspicious right now. The Chief of Security nodded.

As the leader of the Garrison Bureau, the director knew more intelligence information than Qiao Sen, so he understood that the upper echelons of the empire also had a high degree of concern about this Hongjing Chamber of Commerce.

There is no other reason, because the nobles standing behind this chamber of commerce have recently been faintly circulating in the upper circles about their affairs with the forces of the 'alien gods'.

Of course, there is no evidence that can really identify those nobles who are at least earl-level to take refuge in the 'alien gods', but there are some clues that point to this answer.

"Disbanded for the time being, you can continue to investigate, but remember not to act rashly, and by the way, inform the various departments to prepare for an attack. Also, immediately issue an official ban prohibiting citizens from touching that dream world of unknown danger without permission!" With a wave of his hand, the Chief of Security dismissed the officers of each section, but in the end he called Qiao Sen to stay.

"Any other orders? When there were only two people left in the office, Jossen asked.

"No, I just hope you can accompany me to the palace, I must personally report to Your Majesty about the current state of affairs, and at the same time ask Your Majesty. There is no problem with that Hongjing Chamber of Commerce on the surface, whether it is the establishment procedures or the license to do business, it is very complete, and there has been no record of violating the laws of the empire since its establishment, the evidence is insufficient, even if we have suspicions, we can't do it directly. But if you can get your Majesty's order, none of this is a problem. ”

As he spoke, the chief of the garrison took out a cigarette and lit it for himself, and after taking a puff to relieve the irritability in his heart, he asked Qiao Sen: "To be honest, do you know? When the Hongjing Chamber of Commerce was just established, because of the special background, our empire tried to send special personnel to lurk in and plan to monitor it. It was the professionals of the Intelligence Bureau who were dispatched. ”

The Imperial Intelligence Agency, whose responsibilities are somewhat similar to those of the Garrison Bureau in some aspects, but the main activities of those intelligence agents are hidden in the shadows, mainly responsible for secret missions such as stealth, espionage, undercover, and discord. The special assassination unit in which Jiang Yan worked in the past often obtained information on assassination targets from the Intelligence Bureau, and there were frequent exchanges between them.

Qiao Sen also took out a cigarette and lit it, and after taking a puff, he asked, "Since you talked about this at this time, I think the result is not ideal, right?"

"You guessed it. A little depression flashed in the eyes of the chief of the garrison, and he said, "The people sent over have all been planted." Note that not a single person was spared! This even included an elite with military-level strength. ”

"You mean, sacrificed?" Qiao Sen asked, his face grimaceous when he heard this.

"If it's really a sacrifice, then it's easy to say. The head of the garrison shook his head, after all, the people of the intelligence bureau have official licenses in writing, so if the Hongjing Chamber of Commerce dares to do something to them, the empire can use this as an excuse to do it to them openly.

In particular, the method of taming adult elves to make them obedient and obedient, and ensuring that the success rate of the contract between customers and purchased elves can exceed ninety percent, has long been coveted by the empire.

"Why?" asked Qiao Sen, puzzled.

"The intelligence officers sent in are actually alive and well, and there doesn't seem to be any threat to their treatment. The chief of the garrison also looked puzzled, and said with a little hesitation: "However, it seems that they are all restricted in some way, and they can't carry out the hidden mission anymore!"

"Restrictions?"

"It seems to be a pact of secrecy. The Chief of Security recalled the information he had received and explained, "Because of the contract, they can't do anything that will damage the interests of the Rainbow Crystal Chamber of Commerce, so even if they sneak in, they can't give any valuable information back to the Empire." ”

"With the power of the Empire, can't you break that contract?" asked Jossen.

"What do you think? Don't forget why we were suspicious of that Rainbow Chamber of Commerce. The chief of the garrison rolled his eyes.

“...... Is it at the same level as the contract of the 'alien gods'?" Qiao Sen said.

"Yes, even if an informant is willing to sacrifice himself to cooperate with us in soul reading, we still won't get the classified information we want. The chief of the garrison said with a look of regret.

"Strange, since they are engaged in intelligence work, I think the basic abilities of those people are still qualified, right? Why would they be bound by the other party to such a trap-like contract that obviously hinders the mission?" Qiao Sen asked suspiciously: "Even if it is the kind of contract of the 'Alien God', the effect is very strong, but doesn't it also need to obtain the consent of the signatories to reach it? Could it be that the Hongjing Chamber of Commerce still dares to threaten the imperial public officials to force them to sign the contract?"

"That's the problem. The chief of the garrison was also full of doubts: "According to the limited information that the intelligence officers can provide, we only know that the Hongjing Chamber of Commerce did not force them, but how they did it is unknown, because the information about this part seems to be within the confidentiality constraints of the contract, and the intelligence officers can't even make a hint." ”

After shaking his head helplessly, the chief of the garrison said with a wry smile: "The only thing to be thankful for is that although the intelligence agents on our empire's side are planted, those other spies from abroad also seem to have failed to get benefits in that chamber of commerce, and they are all planted in it." ”

After Qiao Sen pondered for a moment, he suddenly asked, "Director, did you just say that our intelligence agent was obviously exposed, but he was not harmed, but was only bound by the contract by the other party in an unknown way to prevent the leakage of secrets within the Chamber of Commerce?"

"That's right, what are you asking for?" asked the Chief of Guard, confused.

"Can you be sure that the informants who were enclosed did not betray the Empire and take refuge in the other side?"

"Well...... After the screening of the "mind test", it is not that there is any problem with their loyalty, and some control methods as the last insurance have not been lifted, so it should be that they have not completely betrayed the empire, right?"

"Is that so......" Qiao Sen frowned for a few seconds, then suddenly his expression relaxed a little, and said, "I thought of something, and the situation may be ...... It's not as bad as we thought it would be. ”

"What did you find?" asked the Chief of Guard, curiously.

"Although this is just my personal speculation, however, the other party seems to ......" Qiao Sen said in a somewhat hesitant tone, "Showing goodwill to the Empire?"

"Goodwill?" the Chief of Guard chewed on the word.

"Actually, I was a little strange before...... Qiao Sen took out his notebook and looked at it, then frowned and said: "Why did the original tabloid reporters who wrote promotional news articles for the 'Lord of Dreams' get the 'thank you gift'? Whether it is the knowledge and skills that are very similar to the 'Gift of the Alien God', or the special elves with the characteristics of the 'Rainbow Crystal Chamber of Commerce', it is easy for those who find them to lock the clues to the 'Alien God' and the 'Rainbow Crystal Chamber of Commerce'. With their usual method of secrecy, it stands to reason that there would not be such an obvious flaw, and now that it looks like this, it looks like it is simply ...... It's like a deliberate attempt to be discovered. ”

"Hmm...... It seems that there is such a possibility. The Chief of Security agreed.

"The intelligence officers who infiltrated the Hongjing Chamber of Commerce are also, even if their identities are exposed, they are only put on a confidentiality contract for self-protection. ”

"But why do you do that? it can't be because you're afraid of the power of the Empire, right?" the Chief of Guard joked that he didn't believe in himself.

"Of course not!" Qiao Sen shook his head: "I think the other party should just do this to avoid leading the relationship between them to deteriorate." Even if you negotiate on the battlefield, you must pay attention to the salute before the soldiers. ”

"Wait...... Since it was deliberately wanted for us to discover, why did the previous "Alien God Believers" suddenly disappear?" the Chief of Police suddenly thought of a slight contradiction. "Isn't it more appropriate to be a "believer" in terms of spokespersons?

On the one hand, this is to protect the "believers", and for the existence of suspected gods such as "alien gods" or "dream lords", such "believers" with a devout belief should be highly valued, and on the other hand, it may be to show the empire how clever their methods are. Qiao Sen guessed: "The number of the 'believers' we locked up before exceeded a hundred, but they were safely transferred away by the other party silently overnight, and even during this period, even the Imperial Capital's wide-area monitoring enchantment did not find any anomalies...... Since it can complete the quiet evacuation of such a large number of people, it means that even if the other party is at odds with the Empire, it is easy to retreat with all his body, right? And not only in retreat, if the other party wants to use this transfer ability in the long-distance sneak attack operations of a small group of elite troops, and send a large number of elite soldiers directly to the secret hinterland of the empire to launch an attack......

"I see, deterrence by force?" concluded the chief of the garrison.

"With the kind of 'gift' method that can make 'ordinary people' become 'transcendent' overnight, we don't need to doubt it, I'm afraid that the other party will definitely be able to pull up a super elite army that is far beyond mortals, and may all be composed of powerful elves, as long as they are willing! Combined with the kind of means that can transfer troops on a large scale without knowing it......" Qiao Sen shrugged his shoulders: "I think if it is not necessary, the empire will not be willing to offend such a troublesome enemy for nothing, right?"

"So, is there anything to fear?"

"Yes, but ......," Jyoson added conservatively, "these are just my personal speculations." ”

The chief of security rubbed his eyebrows: "It's really troublesome...... Forget it, don't you mind if I'll include your speculations as part of the report later?"

"Please. Jossen said with a nonchalant shrug.

Shaking their heads to suppress these distractions for the time being, the two stopped talking about them, but left the garrison and went to the palace in a spirit car.

Half an hour later, the chief of the garrison, led by the palace guards, crossed the sentry posts and met the current Emperor of the Duragon Empire, who is also the ruler of the 16th Alduin royal lineage, the strongest man in the Duragon Empire, and one of the best dragonborns in the bloodline.
