"What? Uncle is a spy for Aundair?"
Karl stared at Nia in disbelief.
Nia's father gave him the impression of an adult who loved children very much, had a good temper, and was well-educated.
This was far from the image of a "spy" in his mind.
As if she saw Karl's surprise, Nia crossed her arms across her chest with some dissatisfaction, and said helplessly: "If this matter can be easily discovered by others, then why would my father be a spy? The reason why I was able to discover this matter is probably because my father revealed it himself."
"Why? Wouldn't it be good if we kept it a secret?"
"Because he got promoted, he probably won't have to go out on field missions anymore."
"Forehead……"
Looking at Nia speechlessly, Karl accepted what she said.
The physical education teacher of Akanix (the coach of the Orfa Knights) is actually a retired officer of the Eye of the Kingdom. Generally, only spies who have made great contributions can enjoy this treatment.
Of course, what actions they were involved in remains confidential.
"Since this is what my uncle is going to investigate, isn't that what the Queen is going to investigate?"
Suddenly, Carl frowned and discovered the deeper secret of the incident.
Nia also thought of this, so her brows frowned even more tightly.
Lisanna and Ying were watching the whole thing. Ying even asked Carl for the scroll of the Everdeath Sect and compared it with the scroll of the Shadow Sect.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go back to the city and find a way to contact your parents and ask them about this. Otherwise, I don't know what to do about this matter."
After saying that, Carl told V to put a gold coin into the donation box, and then left the monastery.
“Boom…”
Thunder rumbled, and leaden clouds had covered the sky at some point. It looked like a heavy rain was brewing.
…
“Clatter…”
In the afternoon, a heavy rain fell on Tonglu City.
At the entrance of the Lightning Train station, a man dressed like an English gentleman, wearing a new woolen coat and a top hat, walked out of the station with his war-forged servants.
He was leaning on a cane in his right hand and holding a pipe in his left hand, taking a puff from time to time.
The war-terracotta servant who was holding an umbrella for him had half of his body soaked in the rain, looking quite pitiful.
This is a typical behavior of the Breland factory owners, and the residents of Tonglu City are not surprised by it.
Apart from Aundair, the country that cooperates most closely with the Passing Dragonmark Family is Breland.
Therefore, countless Breland factory owners often gather here.
"Hong, are you sure that the commander's order is indeed an assassination? Isn't this a bit too radical? Our local colleagues haven't sent back any news yet."
However, right under the umbrella, the typical British gentleman was talking to the terracotta warriors behind him in a standard royal sister's voice.
The sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella covered up their voices. Even if one deliberately got closer, it was difficult to hear what they were saying.
This is Cass and Hong.
Although the greatest credit for the last mission went to their superiors, they were also promoted and considered elite spies.
This time I came to Tonglu City to investigate a suspected case of secret manufacturing of war terracotta warriors.
However, what caught the two of them off guard was that their original work was progressing smoothly, but their superiors suddenly issued an order for them to come here as soon as possible.
If it is confirmed that the target has a problem, the other party will be assassinated directly.
Although there are people who are proficient in prophecy spells within the Kingdom's Eye who are helping with the investigation, prophecy spells are not omnipotent and cannot provide a detailed investigation.
"That's what the postman said anyway. We just need to follow his orders. So what are those two guys doing? Intercepting the road?"
Following Warforge Red's words, Cass looked up and found a woman and a mechanical dog standing under the eaves in the shadows of the opposite street.
The man and the dog were looking at the people on the street again and again with a "fierce" look.
In Sharn, there are many such people in the lower city. As long as you make eye contact with them and then look away, they will think you are easy to bully and rob you of your money.
But Cass felt that the woman's eyes didn't look like she was following someone, but rather like she was looking for someone.
Coming back to her senses, Cass said to her companions in a bad mood: "Why do you still care about this kind of thing? If they come up, we will let them have a taste of our power. Okay, let's go to that factory first."
Without paying attention to Mitris and No. 1, Cass and Hong waved to stop a carriage and prepared to go to the factory that Carl and the others had visited.
However, No. 1 under the eaves was staring at Hong, as if he remembered something.
"Follow that carriage!"
As the carriage slowly moved forward, No. 1 finally confirmed something, so he nudged Mitris beside him, signaling her to follow him to chase the carriage.
"Are you finally willing to rob someone with me?"
Looking at No. 1 beside her with surprise, Mitris stood up with her hands rubbed, her body like a jaguar, as if she would burst out with amazing strength in the next second and catch up with the carriage.
"Wait a minute! You misunderstood! According to my memory bank, the terracotta warrior was once repaired by the master, and most of the parts on his body were also made by the master. We can borrow some money from him."
Holding down Mitris who was about to rush out, No. 1 sped up his voice 1.5 times faster and finally stopped her before Mitris could take action.
Seeing that No. 1 still refused to rob anyone, Mitris had to give up.
She didn't dare to do anything too radical, because the order given by Moore's class to No. 1 was: if Midris did not cooperate, all the prosthetics in her body would be immediately deactivated.
Mitris didn't want to joke about the little strength she had left.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Using silent movement, she followed the carriage from a distance, heading towards the factory.
Soon, the sky darkened under the influence of dark clouds.
Cass and Hong also arrived at the destination of this mission.
However, when they walked into the factory, they saw nothing but the dusty production line.
But as spies, they have much more experience than Carl.
Seeing that there was no one there, the two immediately began searching the factory.
Mitris and No. 1, who had followed the carriage all the way here, were a little confused by the two's behavior.
No. 1 even wanted to report what happened here to the sheriff in exchange for some money.
Fortunately, Mitris was not stupid. Based on the way the two men acted, she quickly recognized that they were probably spies.
This is also thanks to the semi-cult status of the druid organization Sons of Winter.
"Let's go down and meet them!"
Holding No. 1, Mitris jumped off the roof.
Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of Cass and Hong.
The two had just met Midris not long ago, and now when they met again in this place, they immediately regarded her as an enemy.
Without any verbal communication, both sides gradually accelerated towards each other.
"bass"
The sharp blade cut through the air, and Hong and Mitris revealed their arm blades almost at the same time.
However, unlike Hong's traditional arm blade, the "arm blades" on Mitris's hands are completely mantis blades designed by Carl.
Her calves were trembling slightly at this moment. That was the activation of the spring prosthesis that Moore had installed for her, which allowed her to move more quickly.
The duo of spies were shocked by the strange appearance of Midris, they originally thought Midris was an ordinary woman, but now they were a little unsure.
But the reality that the two sides are gradually getting closer leaves them no time to think about other things.
With a "ping" sound, the mantis knife and the arm blade collided with each other.
The material used for Hong's arm blade naturally couldn't be too bad, but after this attack, a gap appeared on the arm blade.
The fighting skills of both parties were not very sophisticated, and it was obvious that the mantis knife had the advantage in terms of hardness.
His mouth opened and closed, and Hong immediately changed his fighting style.
He danced the two arm blades in a mess, but they were obviously aimed at Midris's vital points.
However, although Mitris cannot use her druid abilities, her remaining perception attributes are still higher than those of ordinary people.
She instantly understood Red's strategy of trading injuries for injuries, and took several steps back towards No. 1.
"Who are you!"
Unable to defeat or catch up, Cass immediately asked for the other party's identity.
Mitris gave a sinister smile and was about to step forward again, but No. 1 had already arrived at the center of the venue.
"We are the mechanical servants sent by Master Mooreban to find Master Karl, but the master forgot to give us funds. I remember that this war forged had been modified by the master. Could you two support us with some funds?"
In front of Midris and the spy duo who had already fought, No. 1 stated his purpose and plan without any concealment.
This frank attitude controlled the duo of spies for dozens of seconds, as if they couldn't believe what they saw was real.
Seeing this, Mitris also put away her mantis blade.
She knew that this battle could not be fought.
Without caring whether what No. 1 said was true or false, Cass directly threw out two gold coins and a handful of silver coins.
No. 1 walked forward and grabbed it without any preparation, then quickly returned to Mitris and asked her to keep it.
Under the vigilant gazes of Cass and Hong, the two left the factory.
However, just as the two men walked across the street, a black rectangular car that did not require a horse to pull it came towards them from the corner.
"It's Master Karl!"
No. 1 quickly left Mitris behind and ran happily towards the black car.
When Carl in the car saw No. 1, he thought he was dazzled and quickly told V to stop.
"Number 1? Why are you here? That is..."
Opening the car door, Carl picked up No. 1 from the ground and wiped the raindrops off its body.
Looking at Mitris who was running towards him, he instinctively felt that she was a little familiar, but he couldn't tell where she was familiar.
"This is the patient that the master mentioned before who is currently receiving treatment. She is now considered half of the master's mechanical servant. You can call her..."
At this point, No. 1 paused. Moore didn't want Carl to know the true identity of Midris, and it didn't know how to call Midris.
"Wow, a cyborg! Your name isn't 18, is it?"
Looking at Mitris' short golden hair, Karl made a joke.
However, Carl secretly criticized his master's talent for naming. He thought that the cyborg in front of him might be called No. 2.
