Jose has been in Elven River since Gerus Cherry took over, and Dan has not contacted him since the last meeting at the docks, leaving him with the only order left to stay put. As for the case of Time Zero, Valhalla's approval of his mandatory search warrant for the Heart of the Mist has completely halted in the past two days.

It can be said that these days, he has no work to do at all. Probably the most enjoyable thing about this situation is his new assistant García Emilio, who moves into his apartment on her own initiative, chooses a well-lit room, and has no problem with José having no problem with the fact that she is still in charge of her evaluation. This woman's self-care ability is much stronger than Rong's, she doesn't need him to take care of her, and she can do some housework, such as cooking, and the food she cooks is not unpalatable, so Jose has no problem with this.

Compared to Emilio, who was enjoying a vacation, Jose had not been completely idle these days, and he noticed that he had been overly relying on the power of the White Emperor Sword and neglecting the exercise of his own abilities during this time. During the Jiangcheng Incident, Sniff destroyed the White Emperor Sword, and Maruzat also made it clear that the White Emperor Sword was irreparable, and after losing this weapon, he lacked some effective offensive means.

In the days when he used the White Emperor Sword, he found that he felt quite comfortable using the sword, so he asked Valhalla for a good sword. Valhalla's supply needs were handled by a special agent, and his request was quickly accepted, and a sword was delivered to his apartment a few days later.

It was a two-handed sword, the blade was not wide, and the weight was heavier than the White Emperor Sword. The material is the fangs of the ancient dragon, which itself has a strong paralyzing toxicity, in addition to its ability to carry mana. Jose tried it and it didn't feel too difficult, but it took time to connect with it to make it easier.

The sword was sent by someone from the Hegu family, and along with the sword, there was also a message and a sentence from Dan Huisheng.

The news was about Heart of the Mist, Cherry's operation in Heart of the Mist failed, she paid with her own life, and at the same time incurred the wrath of the Mauvens, and everyone who entered the Heart of the Mist ceremony was expelled, except for His Highness Andrew, who had been held hostage in the Heart of the Mist. The news of this has not yet been made public to the public, but the garrisons of the three provinces of Norwich, Fraser, and Saxe are already moving towards the vicinity of the Misty Forest, and if this matter is not properly handled, a new round of civil war in the Empire may begin.

As the person who assigned Cherie to enter the Heart of the Mist, Dan was responsible for the matter, and the senators of Valhalla on the capital side had already begun to hold a senatorial meeting on this matter, and the situation was very unfavorable for him, and before the senate was convened, he entrusted the messenger to bring a word to José, which was "wait".

The Courier didn't give any explanation for the word, so José didn't know what he was waiting for, if it was for Dan's next order, or something else, and he couldn't draw conclusions from the available information.

José chose to stay in the apartment to practice his new weapon, and Emilio was very interested in the matter, and the messenger did not avoid her when he delivered the news. Knowing what had happened, she immediately left the apartment and did not return until early evening.

When she returned, she went into the kitchen and didn't come out until dinner was ready. Dinner was two portions of steak, and as Emilio handed him José's portion, she said casually, "The Newton has just returned to the Elven River, and that little girl of yours is in the car, and those troublesome kids, but they don't seem to know me anymore, do you know something?"

José put down the knife and fork he had just picked up, looked at his assistant, and replied very seriously: "I don't know." "It's true, he doesn't know what's going on, although anything unusual is not normal at such times.

"So boss, you're not curious at all?" Emilio looked at him.

José didn't answer, picked up his knife and fork, and began to break down the steak in front of him.

"Looks like we can go on vacation. Emilio also began to cut her own portion of the steak.

However, their dinner could not continue, as someone came out of the fireplace in the living room, and José frowned at the man in the black cloak, who had never known that there was a passage hidden in his fireplace. Emilio looked at the extra person in the living room and put down her knife and fork, "Looks like it's the end of the holidays?"

The person who came took off his hood and showed his face, Sophia, Rong Ruo's personal maid, "Sorry, Young Master Jose, I'm sorry, the situation is urgent, we must act immediately." ”

"Sir asked you to come?" asked José, putting down his knife and fork.

"I have already informed Lord Dan Huang Sheng about the Heart of Mist, but now the situation in the capital is complicated, and he has not issued an order. Sophia opened the passage in the fireplace, and two more people came out of it, "Master Jose, and Madam Garcia, please give me a little of your blood." ”

José slashed his index finger with the knife on the table, and Sofia took out a test tube containing the potion and carefully caught the blood that flowed, then shook the test tube, handing the shaken potion evenly to one of the young men.

The man took on his form after drinking the potion, and Sophia handed the other tube to Emilio, who reluctantly cut her finger and asked, "Is this a work injury?"

The two people who drank the shapeshifter completely transformed into their appearance, and at the same time took out their clothes from the closet of the apartment to change into, José had no problem with this, but Emilio seemed a little uncomfortable with others wearing her clothes, and the expression on her face was not very natural.

Sophia expressed satisfaction with the effect of the shapeshifter, "Master Jose, Ms. Garcia, let's go, I will say the specific things on the road, and the two of them will replace you during your absence in the capital." As she spoke, she walked over to the fireplace and opened the passageway.

José followed her into the passage he had never discovered, a passage constructed with spatial magic, completely integrated with the structure of the house, to hide the fluctuations of magic to the greatest extent.

At the other end of the passage was a dimly lit room, Sophia closed the passage as soon as the two of them entered, and handed each of them a black cloak, "This is the family's safe house, it's very hidden, no one knows." ”

Sophia said as she walked over and opened the cabinet in the room, "We're going to get to the Mist Forest as soon as possible, there are a few sets of Storm Legion equipment and weapons here, the best thing we can get for the time being, you can see if there's anything you need." ”

José didn't look at the contents of the cabinet, he hadn't used the army's standard weapons before, and as for the supply potions, the potions he had prepared himself were sufficient, but Emilio seemed to be more interested in those weapons, and she took a scorpion 800 scepter and an obsidian dagger.

"What's the situation with Heart of Mist, and what does it take me to do?" José focused his attention on the key information of the mission.

"Before she died, Agent Cherie delivered a message pointing to a village called Saku, where Miss Rongruo and the group of children had already passed. Sophia replied.

Jose frowned slightly, "Rong Ruo, this is very unwise, she has no combat power now. ”

Sophia showed a helpless expression, "Young Master Jose, you know, if Miss Rongruo decides to mess around, I can't stop her." ”

"Wait, are you talking about those troublesome kids? I remember seeing them in the River of Elves. After selecting the equipment, Emilio withdrew her gaze from the cabinet, she looked at Sophia, and quickly came to her own conclusion, "Stand-in, no wonder." ”

"Yes, there seem to be some people in the Senate involved in this matter, and we should avoid their eyes as much as possible. Sophia nodded, and at the same time said another piece of information, "When I was in Bourbon, I briefly checked, and there were several very bizarre disappearances reported in Saku Village, but these cases were suppressed and not dealt with. ”

"Master Jose, we have to rush to Saku Village as soon as possible, there will be a steam locomotive departing from the Elven River to the Black Mountain Mining Area in the afternoon. ”

Jose shook his head, "We don't get in that car, it's too easy to be spotted." ”

Sophia was taken aback, "Master Jose, but without a steam locomotive, we don't have any other faster means." ”

"Maruzat didn't repair the White Emperor Sword, I'm not as strong as I used to be, and if Cherie is all buried in the Heart of the Mist, I need a helper. ”

Sofia expressed her resolute objection, "Young Master José, with all due respect, the state of the Senate is unknown now, and we don't know who we can trust, even if it's your friend, if you have one. ”

"Guranke Koch is not my friend, and he will not be bought. José replied.

"Agent Kochi?" Sophia looked even more surprised, "Master Jose, hasn't your relationship always been good?"

"Gran Koch, who is that?" asked Emilio.

"You've seen him, in Jiangcheng. ”

"Which one, the mustachioed uncle?"

José didn't answer, but looked at Sofia, "Gulen Kochi is a disciple of Mr., he will not betray Mr., and he will accept this task." In addition, Guran Kochi has recently been practicing teleportation, and he will take us to the Heart of the Mist without being detected. ”

Sophia thought for a moment, accepted the statement, and said, "Okay, then where are we going to find Agent Kochi." ”

"Guranke Koch has a farm near the Elven River, where he takes annual leave at this time of year, with his wife. José said as he put on his cloak.

Sofia led them out of the safe house, which was still in Elven River, but it wasn't too difficult to get to Gulen Koch from a block away from his apartment.
