Chapter 221: Wardhouse's Mission
Chris seemed to think of something, looked at the pedestrians on the street with some concern, and asked seemingly casually:
"But I've heard that Elton has been in the 'Arcanist' for several years, and he'......"
"You don't have to worry about that. James interrupted Chris, "He is already an adult, he should know that the resources of the church will definitely be skewed towards the gifted and powerful, besides, you first digested the 'Arcanist's potion, and Bert is willing to hand over the payment of the transaction to you, he has nothing to complain about, don't worry." ”
Chris nodded, thinking, I wish I had thought too much.
And just when Chris became a "mechanical expert", the golden disc hidden in the depths of his soul began to gradually rotate, and another soul coexisting in his body seemed to be about to move.
And just as James was about to take Chris back, a lazy voice sounded directly in the minds of the two:
"Chris, you come to me, James, you go back first. ”
It's Wardhouse's voice!
Chris looked at the captain with questions, only to see James nodding his head, making sure that the command was correct.
Relieved, Chris waved goodbye to James, and went to the "Golden Tulip" a few steps away from the church, and said in his heart that this team could directly communicate with the people around him, and he didn't know if it was his own ability or what magical items he used.
Knock! Knock!
Chris politely knocked on the door of Wardhouse's office, and then heard a voice from inside:
"Come in. ”
Chris had no choice but to walk into Wardhouse's office desk, looked at the smiling young and middle-aged man, and asked with a bright dog-legged smile:
"Good morning, I don't know if there's anything important about you calling me over alone?"
Wardhouse's slender fingers tapped on the mahogany desk, and the corners of his mouth rose:
"Congratulations, I became a 'mechanical expert' so quickly, I haven't officially stepped into the transcendent world when you're so old, I think you have a promising future. ”
"Haha, the team laughed. Chris laughed, "This is all the care that the corps and the church take care of us, otherwise we wouldn't have such good resources." ”
Wardhouse's blue eyes stared at Chris quietly for a long time, and saw that Chris did not have the slightest pride and self-satisfaction, so he nodded with satisfaction, the most taboo thing for extraordinary people is the instability of their mentality. Even if you are bent on doing evil and carrying out evil thoughts and sins to the end, it is better than half-heartedness, disappointment, and duplicity.
Wardhouse has been a member of the church for so many years, and he has seen countless "punishers" because of their mentality, or they are bewitched by various evil beings, or they breed demons and the potions get out of control, and finally they all become monsters with uncontrolled spirits and are killed by their former teammates.
What a sad thing it is to be a messenger of justice year after year, only to end up incarnating as an evil inhuman monster.
"I called you over, the first thing is to congratulate you, you have lived up to our expectations, and if your teacher is here, he will be proud of you. ”
A smile flashed in Wardhouse's eyes, and he continued to praise Chris:
"The second is that you have been joining the 'Punisher' for more than two months, you have indeed done a great job, I can see that you are not only brave and resourceful, but also have a sense of justice and mission, and your achievements in the future will definitely not be under me. ”
It was the first time to be praised so directly by the general team, and Chris scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"Thirdly, it seems that the members of the 'Gates of Hades' have been preparing to move lately, and you have now been promoted to 'Mechanic Expert', so I now have a task I want to give you alone, and of course you have the right to refuse. ”
"What mission?" asked Chris, "Captain, you say." ”
Wardhouse put away the habitual smirk on his face, and his expression gradually became serious:
"I hope that in the next few days, you will soon become familiar with your newly acquired extraordinary abilities, and then I will ask you to temporarily take out all the affairs of the fifth 'Punisher' team and join me in tracking down and eliminating the forces of the 'Gates of Hades' in Federenburg. ”
This...... Chris was shocked, is the church finally planning to attack the evil force of the "Gate of Hades"?
No, it should not only be the Church of the Gods of Machines and Wisdom, but also the Constant Light Sun Church...... There may even be the City Lord's Mansion, and the three forces will join forces to deal with this hidden organization.
Chris couldn't help but think of the graceful and beautiful figure in his memory, finally, can he avenge his mother? and Ryan, Cole......
Forced to suppress the violent ups and downs in his heart, Chris looked at Wardhouse opposite, nodded firmly with his eyes, and said:
"I choose to accept, Corps, I am willing to carry out this mission with you, cooperate with you to deal with the 'Gate of Hades', and clear this evil force stationed in Federenburg. ”
Wardhouse looked at Chris with some surprise and some appreciation, and asked again:
"Have you figured it out? This is not a simple and safe mission, it can be said to be very dangerous, even if I am here, but in case of a fight, I may not be able to take care of you. ”
"I know very well, Corps, I think clearly, I'm going to join this operation. Chris replied with a firm look in his eyes.
"In that case, then you should go back first, by the way, this thing is for you. Wardhouse pulled out a box from a drawer and threw it at Chris, who was in front of the desk.
Chris hurriedly opened the box, only to see that it was a jelly-like translucent object, wrapped in a spiritual wall, and there were some strange things similar to blood vessels on it, which looked so weird.
Wardhouse looked at the puzzled Chris and explained with a smile:
"This is the extraordinary trait of a Sequence 9 'thief', which was submitted by the other 'punishers' squads a few days ago, since you have become a 'mechanical expert', how can you not practice with a piece of extraordinary trait. ”
Chris looked at the jelly-like translucent item in his hand, and suddenly thought to himself, practicing his hands, this is an extraordinary characteristic worth 300 gold pounds, and any ordinary person who takes it may become an extraordinary person in Sequence 9.
However, Chris also knows this kind of thing, and the team definitely does not have the right to squander it at will, and he was moved in his heart at the moment, and said with a sincere bright smile on his face:
"Captain, you're really good, I'll make good use of this extraordinary trait and try to make a passing magical item. ”
When Wardhouse heard this, he waved his hand amusefully, signaling for Chris to get out.
