Chapter 63
The speed of the public carriage was not fast, and even if it was safe, it would take a long time to get from Void City to Pyroxene City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
During this time, the north wind went deep and simple, and there was hardly any conversation with the other travelers. She also took two days of rest in Longhe Town and Gold Rush Town, on the one hand, to show what a weak female artist should look like, and on the other hand, to stagger the frequency with those travelers who traveled with her, so as to reduce the possibility of traveling together.
But she would never have imagined that above her head there was a companion who had always followed her and that she had never noticed.
When the carriage stopped at Pyroxene Station, North Wind waited deliberately for a while before leaving the carriage at the end of the passengers. When she had dismounted from the carriage, she looked a little tired, and after a little rest, she inquired from the passers-by on the side of the road about the residence of Mr. Wood, the sculptor.
Wood was already a celebrity in Pyrstone City, and even ordinary passers-by knew about him. However, the pedestrian did not know where he lived, but the enthusiast did not intend to let North Wind ask for directions again, so he took her to the guards patrolling the city and asked them for Wood's address.
When he was taken by the enthusiasts to find the guards, Beifeng's heartbeat was noticeably faster. Although her face looked calm, in Sui Xiong's eyes, the meaning of nervousness and fear was obvious.
(Hehe, this woman is really worse than Wood!)
Sui Xiong smiled in his heart, watched Beifeng negotiate with the guards, and told him that he was Mr. Wood's long-lost wife, and then accompanied by the guards, who were wide-eyed in surprise, came to Wood's woodcarving workshop.
Of course, Wood didn't know the north wind, but she only said "I heard about you in Cape Town" and he understood the other party's identity.
What is Cape Town? This is the town where the Grey Dove Magic Item Shop is located.
Who else but a federal spy would specifically mention there?
He immediately looked surprised and delighted, confessed the identity of the north wind to the guards, and insisted on giving the guards a small gift as a token of gratitude.
In fact, at that moment, the expressions of the two of them were a little mismatched. The guard was a retired adventurer, and with his eyesight, it was impossible to see the name. However, Sui Xiong secretly disturbed his thoughts, so that he did not notice this.
How boring it would be if it was directly pierced by the guards!
With this thought in mind, Sui Xiong watched the two enter the workshop and sat down face to face.
"Are you here to take my place?" said Wood, happily, "I can finally go home?"
"Go home" is the jargon of a spy, which means to hand over the mission and return home.
Of course, for those of them who are loyal to the Mystic Tower Federation, there is indeed no difference between returning home and returning home.
Most of them are orphans, and the Federation is their home.
Looking at Wood's happy face, Beifeng secretly had some suspicions in his heart - this guy's reaction seemed to be a little wrong.
Supposedly, if Wood had defected, or had the intention of mutiny, he should be surprised or angry to see her appear.
Over the years, his work has not been done well, but the latent task has been done well. To let him return to China under such circumstances is tantamount to wasting all these years of lurking, how can he not be angry?
She didn't know that Wood had been distressed all this time, and had always wanted to go back to the Federation.
As a high-level spy, he is still relatively clear about the policies of the Mystic Tower Federation. He knew that his information was probably not enough to change the established thinking of the top level of the Federation, and there was a seventy or eighty percent chance that the Federation would still participate in an alliance that was unfavorable to the Northwest Republic and participate in the attack.
This worries him.
He could assure that the attack would have no effect - perhaps shatter the myth of peace in Void City, perhaps kill and injure a number of civilians, and nothing more.
In that case, would there be any other effect than to lose face for some of the Northwest Republics?
Apparently not.
But even such a trivial result would need to waste the lives of high-level and even legendary realm powerhouses to achieve it.
As a ranger who has not yet stepped into the upper echelons, Wood really thinks it is a pity.
Therefore, he really hopes to be able to return to the Mystic Tower Federation, to introduce his thoughts to his superiors in person, to tell him what he has seen and heard over the years, to emphasize to him the trade-off between "war" and "peace", and to talk about a little life experience.
Not only that, but returning to the Secret Tower Federation can also get him out of the dilemma in his heart and return to his normal pace.
In recent times, Wood has been in a state of inner turmoil. He feared that he would be discovered, but he hoped that his most important piece of information would be useful—it didn't matter, it mattered that he was torn between his loyalty to the Mystic Tower Federation and his favor for Pyroxene City.
His loyalty to the Federation is unquestionable, and it is truly rock solid and indestructible, but over the years, the bits and pieces of Pyroxene City and the kindness of the people have moistened his heart like spring breeze and rain.
No matter how strong the stone is, it will be worn by water drops.
Although Wood was reluctant to admit it, in his heart, there was actually some wavering.
Especially after he sent out the last piece of information, he thought that he was dying, but he didn't expect that nothing happened, and he was still living a peaceful and stable life, which made him even more confused, and had a little doubt about his consistent standards.
Treating kindness with kindness and malice with malice is Wood's life code.
However, Huishi Town only has kindness to him, not the slightest malice.
Loyalty to the Federation is his principle, and he is also torn between principles and norms when they collide.
His original intention was to escape with death, but since he didn't die, his thoughts became more active during this time, and he also thought of many things that he hadn't thought of in the past.
Is it true that you are not exposed?
Still is...... Although it has been exposed, Pyroxene City and the Northwest Republic do not harbor ill will towards themselves?
He didn't know, he didn't want to know, and he didn't dare to know.
He was afraid that if he knew the truth, he would not be able to stick to his principles.
So when he saw the north wind coming and guessed that the other party was here to replace him, he was really very happy.
His superiors really thought far-sightedly, thought about themselves everywhere, and knew that his current situation was a little embarrassing, so he sent someone to replace him!
It was obviously naïve, but that's all Wood can think about now.
As for some other thoughts, they had just popped up a little bit, and they were forcibly snuffed out by him.
Those things must not be thought about!
But the little ripples in his heart can't hide from Sui Xiong floating above their heads,
Sui Xiong smiled and watched things unfold quietly.
His instincts told him that it was not only interesting, but perhaps something special...... (To be continued.) )
