The entrance to the secret passage rises slowly.

Garon strode in, and there were some members in the passage passing by, and when they saw him with a cold face, they all moved away from him slightly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Above the passage, at intervals there were pale blue water rays cast by transparent crystals. This is an underground facility built underwater.

He hadn't gone far before Garon saw the fat dead man he had contacted last time running towards him with a body of fat shaking.

"Oh, my dear Captain of the Nine, you're finally back!!" the fat man exaggeratedly opened his arms to give him a hug.

Garon didn't bother to pay attention to him and passed by him.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

"Eh" A hint of embarrassment flashed on the fat man's face. Folded his arms, "It's Marquis Yawei, Deputy Director, your immediate boss wants to see you." It's about the end of the Red Team's mission. ”

He paused, "Team Leader of the Nine Heads, you have indeed completed this mission beautifully, plus this special mission of Xuefeng, maybe the red team will be promoted."

"Promotion, what does promotion mean to me?" asked Garon casually as he walked.

"Of course, there is!" said the fat man, who trotted briskly after Garon, barely keeping up with him. "If the red team is promoted to the senior group, then the benefits will also be improved. The support from the General Administration will also be much more. ”

"What are the specific benefits?" Galleon is the type who will not let go if he does not see the concrete substantive benefits.

"Well, this is mainly improved from two aspects. Wealth and power. The fat man took out a white handkerchief and kept wiping the sweat from his face. "Wealth is entirely up to you, and this one is exchanged for quest points. It can be a secret treasure, it can be a territory, and you can enjoy the resources at the top. Potions. Poison, weapons or whatever. The right is to be promoted, to master shili, to get the support of other sub-bureaus and even headquarters, and so on. ”

"It's quite rich. Garon nodded. At this time, he completely suppressed the heat in his heart.

After the two turned a few corners, the number of people in the passage increased significantly. Many of them were gray-clad waiter staff, apparently serving the members here. They come and go with carts full of boxes of food, drinks, or clothing.

Some staff members came out of some of the beeping rooms, hurrying with rolls of paper, similar to information. There are also those holding large frames with uniforms. I followed the waiter through the passage, not knowing what to do.

There are also people who stand at the fork in the road and argue quietly.

The whole General Directorate is obviously much more lively than the last time Galleon came.

As if to see Garon's doubts, the fat man Whitera explained as he led the way.

"Usually many people go out on missions, and those exclusive group service teams will naturally rest. Now a lot of the groups are back. So the corresponding service team is also busy. Tinkering with equipment, repairing instruments, reviewing tasks, and issuing notices are all piled up at once, and every time this time is the busiest. ”

Nodding, Garon in understanding.

"At the moment, our General Administration is mainly supported by funding from the Covitan side, but of course we have some industries of our own. But not much, so we mainly serve Covetan. Recently, the ceremony of trust is about to begin, and naturally we are busy. Five of the nine groups returned. Maintain the Imperial Capital's secret security affairs. ”

Garon understood.

The two turned a fork in the road again and entered a closed passage with a white and silver gate at the end. Guarding the door was a guard in heavy white armor.

Badra walked over and showed a white card to the guards.

The latter immediately bowed his head and bowed, turning sideways to open the door.

The door opened inwards of its own accord, silently.

Garon followed Bendra into the room.

Inside, there is a conference hall-like pattern, all white, and the walls are covered with silver lines, as if they are inscribed patterns. There are four white stone Pegasus statues placed in each of the four corners, which are more than one person tall and look vivid.

In the middle is a circle of round black sofas, on which two people are sitting.

A bearded man, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and a neat slim-fitting black gown, looks like an artist.

The other person was white and beardless, with short dark blonde hair combed into a big back, neatly forming lines backwards. This is a middle-aged man with a smile on his face and a somewhat gloomy temperament.

The two looked at Garon and the others who came in at the door.

"Bai Dela, you brought the leader of the nine heads? It's rare, I'm from Keweitan, and it's the first time I've met the leader of the nine heads, I'm really ashamed. The white-faced man stood up, greeted him with a smile on his face, and shook hands with Jia solemnly.

"I'm Senda Tunguska, and Bixia has already mentioned me in front of you, right?"

Garon suddenly remembered that Avik had indeed said that in the secret mechanism, only one Count Senda on the side of Corvitan had a bit of shili among them, and the rest of the shili were foreigners.

Carefully looked at the man in front of him, his eyes were swollen, his face was pale, and he was lacking in qi and blood at first glance. He also wears a white mark on his chest, which appears to be a white flame.

"Hello. I'm Garon, I guess you should know, right?"

"Long time smell, long time smell!" Senda shook Garon's hand heavily.

"Captain of the Nine, you've come just in time. The other stood up, "Count Senda came here to ask me for help this time, but now everyone knows the situation in the imperial capital, how can there be any manpower, and even to maintain basic security, there is a shortage of manpower." ”

Garon glanced at the purple mark on the man's chest, and immediately guessed that this person was the Marquis of Yawei, the deputy director of the entire General Bureau, and the nominal manager of the Nine-Color Group. He is also the leader of the purple group himself.

"Asking for help?" Garon wondered.

"Yes, now our Covitan General Bureau is mainly to assist the Empire in cleaning up monster lairs and restoring territory. At the same time, the rebellion of the Black Sky Society is cleared. But this time the Earl's cyan team is in trouble. Marquis Yawei nodded, "Before you came back." The director had already convened a meeting of the team leaders, but due to the serious shortage of manpower, he could only let the cyan team hold on for a while. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Garon frowned.

"We'll talk about that later. I'm going to give you the red team a reward first. The Marquis of Yawei waved his hand, stood up, walked to a statue of Pegasus in the corner of the room, pulled out a drawer from the base of the statue, and took a small white crystal ball out of it.

With the crystal ball in hand, he sat down next to the others.

"This is the reward for this time, as a response to the high difficulty of this mission. So this time the reward is also the white level ordered by the Director-General. ”

He tapped it lightly on the white crystal ball.

Laugh at!

The crystal ball suddenly opened like an open bud, cracking a hole from above, and then opening countless white petals one after another. A white diamond-shaped gemstone inside the core is exposed.

The white gemstone is suspended and constantly rotates automatically, emitting a faint white shimmer.

Bendra explained in a whisper beside Garon.

"The rewards are actually arranged according to nine colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver. White is the highest reward after silver! A white gemstone. You can exchange it for a full 1000 mission points!"

Garon didn't know what 1000 mission points could do. But knowing that it was a good thing anyway, he solemnly took the white gem handed over by Yawei. Carefully tuck it into your fanny pack.

"In addition, your red team has overfulfilled the task this time, according to the comprehensive strength assessment, do you want to apply for the promotion team?" Yawei continued to ask.

"Isn't it a hassle to apply for promotion?" Garon asked rhetorically.

"Well, you need to play against the upper group. This is a test of overall strength. ”

"Then don't rush for now. Garon shook his head.

"What about me?" interjected Count Senda, who looked like he had lost his blood and energy, apparently due to a serious injury.

"It's a really troublesome question. These are critical times. We really can't spare people. Yawei replied with some embarrassment. "Why don't you ask the leader of the nine-headed group?"

Senda shook her head, a hint of helplessness flashing across her face.

"It's too late to transfer people from here. Even if the leader of the nine heads is willing, we don't have that much time. Forget it, I'll go back and inform the others, this mission is considered a failure. ”

"I can't help it. Yawei smiled bitterly, "The manpower over there has already been transferred in advance. ”

Senda scratched her hair in some distress, without the slightest aristocratic demeanor, and reluctantly confessed to Garon and Yawei, and left the office directly.

Garon carefully checked the current situation with the Marquis of Yawei and Beverdra.

Now a large number of forces in the entire Covetan have been sent out to clear various monster lairs and continue to regain the restored territory. But both sides have their own wins and losses with the monster, and they are in a stalemate for a while. If most of the masters of the secret mechanism hadn't needed a return visit for this trust ceremony, it is estimated that they would continue to go out and cooperate with the empire to exterminate those mutant monsters.

The state agency, the secret agency, and the academic and mathematical agency are each responsible for one direction, and the most troublesome party is responsible for the rest of the company. The reconquest has been going on, and it has now pushed the Sinounfa line outward by about a third, barely recovering about half of its original territory.

But now facing a lack of resources, the totem masters are a little unable to support the resource ore of the totem to repair it. And the monsters outside are still endless, as if there is no end.

Not only Covetan, but now Genia is in the same situation, only Ennet is slightly better, they have a giant stone statue, but it is said that a few days ago, Ennet lost two giant stone statues in succession, both of which were destroyed by a huge wyvern monster with three pairs of transparent cicada wings. Now Ennet is back on the defensive, anxious for all the external powerhouses, resisting the attack of this monster's army.

The previous poisonous woman was originally going to return to Ennet, and it was for this reason.

"Generally speaking, now that the situation of our royal alliance is at a stalemate, the three major domains, the dragon domain, the rainbow domain, and the black domain have also had a tendency to unite in recent times. Apparently, it also encountered the counterattack of a strong monster. In the case that the situation cannot be broken, now Bixia's plan is to revitalize all walks of life internally and restore the country's comprehensive system, otherwise without the support of industry, no matter how powerful the army is, it will not be able to continue fighting. ”

The Marquis of Yawei was clearly in a high position and understood the situation much more clearly. (To be continued......)
