Phoenix sits in his darkened office, a very large room that looks out of place in the bright light outside.

"Well, everything is going according to plan, what did the government say when they learned that we had dropped the intruders into Mortick?" Still wearing his crisp suit, Phoenix stood by the window and talked to someone.

"They had thought that the intruders were made by Mortick, and they had always been afraid of internal and external troubles and would not bother with them. This time, they only thought that Mortick had made an inch, and it seemed that the day of war was not far off. The other end of the phone laughed.

"Our plan isn't perfect, but thanks to your performance, we've covered up these imperfections." Phoenix said.

"Hmph, you still know that this plan is full of loopholes, if it weren't for my relationship in the government, you would have known it?"

"Hahaha, yes, I wish us a speedy success."

"Hmm."

Phoenix hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Everything is going well, now it's up to Ian to perform as soon as he reaches 100 percent, it's all over, no, everything, it's a new beginning."

Ian slowly opened his eyes, the best night he'd slept in weeks. After breakfast, he went to Gawen's quarters.

"Let's go, let's go to Mortick, let's talk as we go." Jiawen said.

"What's the matter, what are we going to do there?" Ian asked.

Garwen pulled him into a car.

In the car, Jiawen said the purpose of the trip.

"Go to Mortick to eliminate the trespassers?" Ian asked, puzzled.

"Well, now only by fighting against the intruders can you increase your fusion level higher, and the enlighteners will not improve too quickly. In the past, the activity of the cells was neutralized by bleeding to increase the degree of fusion, but the thing in your crystal will only reach 10% when it reaches a frequency with you, and then it will increase with time and injury, but it is not as fast as fighting the invaders to get that thing. Jiawen explained.

"I almost forgot I still had the Eye of Life in my crystal, but why aren't we in Seth? And the intruders, Z3 are all humans! Ian said.

"You think Seth is your home? Don't forget who we are. As for what you said, they are no longer human, all we have to do is to minimize human casualties and do our best to eliminate Z2 and Z1. But don't worry, we are also working on drugs to treat Z3. Before that, we must destroy them, and if you don't destroy them, they will eat people! Got it? Jiawen said excitedly.

"Hmm." Ian nodded, very helpless in his heart.

"Here is the visa, mobile phone, bank card and a sum of cash that we gave you for Mortic." Textured handed Ian a backpack. "This time you are acting alone, you can go to this address to find this person at that time, but we can only send you to the border. Find this person and he will tell you about other tasks. Let's put it this way, it's imperative to improve integration, but you also need to find time to get it done. Gawen handed him a note.

"Myself? Well, I'll check it out first. Ian took the note and slipped it into his backpack.

"It's not about looking, it's about completing this task." Said with a textured face.

"Oh." Ian reluctantly agreed.

Ian slept soundly in the car and woke up to find himself in a large bed.

"It's ......" Ian looked at his watch, he had slept for a long time, it was already noon, and his stomach was flat.

He took out his phone and found a textured message.

"It's already Mortic, I'll go first, there's a room card in the drawer, don't use your mobile phone to contact me from now on, make a public call, good luck."

"Okay, let's go eat first." Ian was ready to go for a full meal. He found that this was a very luxurious hotel, and the level of luxury was comparable to the international hotel of Saiss that he interned to when he went to it.

It's different from Seth's modern style, it's a retro style. The various elaborate furnishings are well organized, with soft lighting and elegant music, as if you are in the castle written in the book.

Ian sat down in a quiet corner and looked at the map.

The electronic map unfolded slightly, and the coordinates were set at the city of the Holy Spirit, the capital of Mortic. The map depicts this as not only Mortic's most economically prosperous enemy, but also the heart of Mortic's culture and religion. The common belief of the Mortick people is the Cult of the Holy Spirit, and before Mortick was a papal state, that is, during the period of the Pope's rule, there were constant wars with Seth.

A hundred years ago, the royal family of what is now Mortick overthrew the rule of the Pope and established its own kingdom, but due to various circumstances, the Holy Spirit Church is still Mortic's state religion. This 100 years also marked the return of Mortick and Seth to peace, and the two countries developed rapidly and became the world's top powers.

Ian watched as he ate and thought to himself, "Let's hope peace lasts." ”

Suddenly, the music played outside, Ian hurriedly looked back, and saw a group of guards at the gate, Ian's first feeling was to check his ID card, and quickly found out his identity certificate. But when he looked at it, as if it were not so, one of the guards went to the door and whistled crisply, and saw a well-dressed young man walk in. Originally, the people who were eating stood up and bowed, but Ian didn't know these things, and looked around and quickly saluted, but the way he looked around was seen by them.

"Hey, what are you looking around when you see His Royal Highness the Prince? Don't you know how to get up when you hear the whistle? One of the guards drank.

"Calm your anger, this is the first time I have come to the capital, I don't know that this is His Royal Highness, I hope I ask for forgiveness." Ian bowed apologetically to the group and bent over to look at the prince. Although it can't be seen from the outside, in fact, Ian is panicked now.

"Your Highness, this ......," the man said to the prince.

"You deal with it," as soon as he finished saying this, Ian felt that something was going to happen, and he had to take the initiative. He slowly put his hand on the Infinity Crystal in his other hand and continued to stare at them silently.

"Hey, you also have holy crystals?" The prince saw Ian's small movements, but laughed.

"Huh?" Ian thought about it for a moment, as if Mortick was calling the Infinite Crystal a Holy Crystal.

"My heart is already boiling, what about yours?" The prince said.

"Huh?" Ian looked at him with a confused expression.

"It's our Highness who wants to fight you, let's go!" The guard said.

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided, Ian began to scold Phoenix and Gawen in his heart, how could he come up with such a brain-dead plan.

"Come on." The prince said. He tapped the Infinity Crystal, "Shadow." His crystal opened, and a black crystal bow appeared in his hand.

Ian opened the crystal, and as soon as the crystal of the "intruder" came out, everyone panicked. He realized that he shouldn't have been recruited, and the ghost knew that the names of their Infinity Crystals were different, but the names of the intruders were the same. But today I bumped into it, so I had to bite the bullet.

"Intruders? Well, it's not small, what do you have to do with those monsters? The prince still had a smile on his face, but the guards around him couldn't hold it anymore.

When Ian saw him ask, he asked tentatively, "Can Your Highness take a step to live?" ”

The guards rushed straight up to attack Ian, but Ian was about to retreat when he found that the man had shot an arrow between Ian and the guard. The guard turned around and bowed, and said, "Your Highness, please don't do this, this person is extremely dangerous, and he should be taken down." ”

"Huh? I'm so powerful, I don't believe that I can still make people pit in my own territory, let's talk. The prince asked, "Hey, do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

"Yes." Ian said.

"Okay, tell me how you got this crystal, I'm thinking about what to do with you. Don't come along, you've been holding back for so long to vent. The prince said.

The two rode away at a gallop.

When the guard saw this, he shouted, "Don't make a noise about today's events, do you hear me?" He turned around and said, "Go and inform His Royal Highness the Prince, quickly!" ”

Seeing that there was no one around, Ian got another horse, and galloped away while the prince was not looking.

Seeing this, the prince also followed: "Hey, the kid is not stupid, but you can't escape when you meet me." ”

"How can you be so confident?" Ian looked back and mocked, thinking that if he couldn't run, he would have a good fight.

"Of course, Pilot—" The prince shouted, and Ian's horse came to an abrupt halt as if it had lost its soul.

"Is that so?" Ian dismounted and opened the Infinity Crystal, surrounded by a green light, and the prince also dismounted to open the crystal, and said to Ian, "Let me be happy." ”

Ian ignored him, and as the green light disappeared, Ian flashed behind the prince, who turned around and kicked Ian at the sight of the situation. But after the feet touched, Ian noticed the difference in the strength of the enemy and the enemy, and quickly retracted his legs, rushed to his side with an arrow, and slashed with his sword. The prince was not in a hurry, and with a wave of his hands, a black smoke enveloped his body, and Ian didn't have time to stop, he plunged into it and slashed it all indiscriminately. After realizing that he didn't see his target, he began to panic because the range of smoke seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

He hurried away, but found that he couldn't get out as if he were standing still, and he became anxious, and sweat beaded all over his face.

There was a sound of "whoosh", and Ian hurriedly dodged, he knew that it was the man who released the arrow in the dark, but when he thought he had dodged the arrow, he hit the target!

Then the smoke cleared, and the prince held a bow and arrow, and laughed: "You have a move, and I have a prediction!" ”

"What kind of ability are you......" The arrow hit Ian in the chest, and although the Intruder Crystal gave him high damage and pain resistance, this arrow made Ian feel so painful that he fell to the ground limply.

"Shadows, only I can see the target in the fog. But you have not died after my mortal killing? The prince said.

"Let's fight each other, I'm more resistant." Ian struggled to his feet, tremblingly pulled out the arrow from his body, and thrust the blood-stained arrow into the ground. He looked at his watch, and his fusion level increased by 2%, he didn't expect this prince to be so powerful, and he hit the fusion level that he had been beaten for two days before with one big move.

"Alright, tell me what's going on with your holy crystal." The man said expectantly.

"Can you give me a reason?" Ian procrastinated, his mind racing for what to say.

"Wow, I'm still talking back, but I can ...... at any time," the man said.

"Okay, then I'll tell you." Ian thought of a way to fool him, and maybe he could get something out of it.

"Oh? You're changing your face pretty quickly, don't you? The prince asked.

"Do you know Seth's Apos Group?" Ian asked.

"I've heard of it, what's wrong?" The prince said.

Ian has always had a lot of unsolved mysteries, although the path he has chosen so far is indeed a desperate move, and he has suffered no less. But there was still a certain part of his mind that was very clear, and he always wanted to know what kind of relationship Apos had with Mortick.

He'd been asking about himself or his crystals, but he always avoided answering. He didn't fully trust Phoenix, and he didn't know if he was conspiring with Mortick to do something like that, but so far, he was doing what he wanted.

Ian said, "Our group researched this crystal in response to the intruder's scourge. I heard that there have been intruders in your country recently, and I have been sent to investigate the situation. ”

"Oh? Such? There are intruders in my country, and I suspect you got them! The prince's words made Ian completely confused, this prince doesn't know about Apos, it can't be that he is too suspicious, right?

"Don't you really know? The plans of the Apos Group. Ian asked.

"Why should I know their plans? I'm asking you a question about crystals! "The prince was also surrounded by Ian, and he didn't know what to say.

Ian pretended to be embarrassed and thought, "Although I didn't say anything, but my body is almost recovering, and I will hurry up and slip away if I pull the calf again." ”

"That, it doesn't matter if you don't know, I'll tell you in detail, look at this intruder......" Ian was talking nonsense, the prince couldn't listen to it anymore, and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, you can blow it better than me, it seems that you can't talk about it." So he swung his fist at Ian.

Ian's stamina was ready to fight again, and he held off his attack as soon as he raised his hand. The two of them each opened the infinite crystal, a few back and forth,

There was a stalemate, and the prince hurriedly prepared to release the smoke when he saw Ian's posture, but the uninvited guest quietly arrived.

Trespasser!

A Z2 surged up with a group of puppets. Ian saw the intruder say a word and rushed into the monster pile.

"Let's deal with these things first, it's our common enemy." Ian immediately put the escape behind him, and it would be good to fight the monster first.

However, although there is some truth in adding lines, it is true that I can't do it. He just ignored Z3 and went for Z2. He punched the monster right out of the stomach, followed by a quick succession of blows. In a few moments, the monster was dying.

The monster's corpse suddenly floated out in a green light, rushing straight into its own body. For a moment, Ian felt dizzy, but after a while, his strength eased up.

When the prince on the side saw Ian's performance just now, his interest became stronger and stronger. The piercing power and tricky angles of his arrows can kill two or three intruders in a single arrow, and Ian is secretly amazed by it, and he forgets to escape from this effort.

"What was that green light just now?" The prince asked curiously.

"It's over...... How is he 100,000 why? Ian cursed to himself, but he remembered something.

"I can absorb the energy of the intruder, which is also the ability of my crystal, but I have something to tell you, you are the prince, right? The whole Mortick is your people, right, but why would you hurt your people? Ian walked up to him and asked.

"What?" The prince was furious.

"Isn't it? What smaller intruders are the ones who are infected! Ian said.

The prince hesitated for a moment and said, "They have become monsters, and they are no longer my people." ”

"Really? How can a good ruler watch his people suffer? How do you know that they can easily kill them like this? Can't we strike faster and take the initiative to directly eliminate those intruders who can infect people? Ian stared into the eyes of the prince, the passive inaction of the Seth government and the scene of himself becoming a monster and suffering were vivid, Ian looked at the prince, and a tear slowly flowed out.

"We're definitely going to take the initiative, and we've been taking the initiative all the time, so you don't need to teach me here, alas? Why are you kid crying? The prince looked at Ian with disgust.

Ian got a satisfactory answer, he didn't know if he did, but it was undoubtedly the best consolation for him. "That's good, I hope no one will be infected and die at the hands of their own people again." Ian held back his tears and quietly patted the prince on the shoulder.

"No, you're a very interesting person, I've never met someone like you when I'm so old? What the hell have you been through, I want to get to know you better. The prince laughed.

"Aren't you funny, laughing like something?" Ian laughed too.

"My name is Alan, what about you?"

"Ian."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"So, can you tell me about you?" Alan said expectantly.

"Okay. A month ago...... "Ian can be kind of found someone to talk to, and confides everything that has happened in the past month to his new friend, but he has vague about Phoenix, just saying that he was caught doing human experiments and tortured or something.

"And that's how you escaped?" Alan asked.

"I tried so hard to get out of mine, but there was no way out! I had to ask a friend to send me here. Ian sighed.

"Hey...... You are really miserable, don't worry, you choose to come to my country, you are a part of our country, I will treat you like my own brother. Alan patted his chest and assured.

"Thank you then, it just so happens that I still have a lot of questions about Mortic, our big prince should be much more reliable than in the book." Ian pretended to be expectant.

"That's no problem, I don't know about my own family anymore, it's not a shame, hahaha......" Alan laughed happily.

Ian was happy in his heart, he didn't expect to be able to do a good job here with such a character.

"Then please, prince...... Your Highness. ”

So, Ian's new question arises, who would the intruder be if it wasn't Mortick's plan?
