In order to capture Arnold Percy, General Williams combined the forces of the First and Fourth Armies to search for traces of the Dark Star Region and the Blood Moon Pirates. However, the actions of the Dark Star Region became much more low-key, and those forces known to have some connection with the Dark Star Region also withdrew, as if an invisible big hand had cut off all clues with one knife.
"This Dark Star Region is really cruel! They gave up so many businesses just like that!" The soldiers investigated non-stop for a whole day and night, raiding all the places they knew that were related to the Dark Star Region at the fastest speed, but they still failed to catch anyone from the Dark Star Region. No wonder some people were so angry.
"Don't you think about the fact that Arnold brought space storage technology and a copy of the ancient magic rune fragments? The value of these is much greater than these small businesses. They are naturally willing to make some sacrifices to protect Arnold." Another soldier patted his colleague on the shoulder and said.
"Oh." The two sighed and continued to investigate the dark star region.
Finally, they got some information from Arnold's adjutant. As Arnold's minion, this adjutant had done many illegal things, but now he was left alone. He felt a little resentful and confessed everything without much struggle.
While reviewing his confession, General Williams discovered a clue. Before leaving, Arnold had the adjutant purchase two airship tickets: one for a researcher and one for Ivan Percy. Both were bound for an extremely remote planet in the 22nd Sector, near the Dark Sector. He concluded that Arnold intended to have Dark Sector personnel meet them on that planet and take them to the Dark Sector.
The reason for taking on the researcher was obviously because he had a copy of the ancient magic pattern fragments, and he needed researchers with a better understanding of ancient Chinese to continue deciphering it. But why did he want to take Ivan Percy with him as well? If he suddenly remembered the father-son relationship at this moment, General Williams would not believe it. People like him are simply heartless!
General Williams immediately sent people to check on Ivan Percy's condition and soon received feedback. It turned out that after Ivan Percy went to a remote planet for recuperation for a period of time, the damage to his mental power slowly began to recover. Although it only recovered to Class C, it was finally stabilized. At least he could still become a mercenary herald and make a living by making heraldry for others.
This makes sense. After all, the emblems and storage devices that Susan can make by herself are limited. Having one more person, someone he can trust, to help will make it easier for Arnold to gain a foothold in the Dark Star Domain.
The capital planet was extremely far from the Dark Star Region, and it would take at least half a month to reach it by airship. Therefore, the researcher had already left the capital planet long beforehand, and it was too late to capture him now. However, Ivan Percy's planet was closer, so his airship ticket was for two days later.
General Williams immediately ordered the colonial garrison where Ivan Percy was located to go to Ivan's residence and detain him.
Unexpectedly, Alvin didn't pack his things at all. After seeing the garrison arriving, he directly handed his airship ticket to them and said that he had no intention of going to join his father.
He had lived long enough in the shadow of his father, a so-called father who had only exploited him, devoid of any affection. His days recuperating on a remote planet had become his most comfortable time. No need for disguises, no scheming, he could do whatever he pleased. He was unwilling to give up this peaceful life, and he even suggested to General Williams that someone impersonate him, board the airship, and infiltrate the Dark Star Region.
This is actually a very good idea, but the person is not easy to find.
Even with today's advanced technology, to completely impersonate someone else, besides plastic surgery, one must also be a herald of similar stature and age! They must also be trustworthy, adaptable, and self-sustaining! How can one find such a perfect substitute?
Wait a minute...it seems there really is such a person?
General Williams thought of Oakland.
Auckland's age and body shape are very similar to Ivan's. Not only is he a herald, he also has extremely strong fighting power, so he has absolutely no problem protecting himself.
Just let Oakland transform into another person and go to the Dark Star Region alone... I guess Hall won't agree...
However, time was running out, and General Williams couldn't think of anyone more suitable than Oakland. With a desperate attitude, he called Oakland. Coincidentally, his son was there, saving him the trouble of contacting him again. General Williams offered his advice straight away and promised to find the best plastic surgeon. Upon his return, he would restore his original appearance without leaving even a trace.
What he didn't expect was that both Oakland and Hall reacted calmly.
"Okay, I'm willing to go." Oakland thought about it for less than five seconds before agreeing. He didn't want to see Arnold Percy have any chance of making a comeback. This guy who was deliberately plotting against him with malice must be eliminated as soon as possible.
"Have you really thought this through? It could be dangerous."
"I'm not afraid of danger," Auckland said with a smile.
General Williams believed this statement, as he had already experienced Oakland's military strength.
"I'll arrange plastic surgery right away!" Since Auckland agreed, the surgery must be arranged as soon as possible.
"No need to bother." Oakland casually performed a trick, and his appearance directly changed into that of Ivan Percy.
General Williams was stunned for a long time before he realized that this should be what Auckland called "magic". He didn't expect that there was such a magical spell. His daughter-in-law was really too powerful.
"He can go, but I want to go too." At this time, Hall suddenly spoke.
Although Oakland is very powerful, Hall, as his fiancé, cannot let him go to the enemy's lair alone.
"Nonsense! There's only one airship ticket, how are we supposed to get you on it?! Can Auckland even turn you into someone else?"
"I can't do this for now..." The spells Auckland can cast now are still some low-level ordinary spells. He has no way to turn Hall into another person.
Hall pursed his lips and remained silent, but the sudden drop in air pressure around him showed his bad mood.
No one knows a son better than his father. General Williams also understood his son's feelings. After racking his brains for a while, he said, "I have an idea. Son, you can transform into an animal and board the airship with Auckland. The maid who is responsible for taking care of Ivan has an orc son who has a good relationship with Ivan. You can pretend that you are afraid of loneliness and take him with you. I believe it won't arouse others' suspicion."
The orcs are also divided into different levels. The high-level orcs are larger in size and have a longer growth period than ordinary orcs. This is why Hall is already 23 years old, but his beast form is still so childish, while Rachel is obviously younger than Hall, but has already entered the growth period.
"As long as you dye your fur black and pretend to be a black panther cub, you can still pass for the real thing." General Williams said jokingly. His son felt that his animal form was not majestic enough and never showed his animal form in front of outsiders. Therefore, he turned into a cub and painted his body black so that no one would associate him with Hall Williams.
The author has something to say: o(╯□╰)o Today, the lazy little angels still haven't written a short play... I'll write one myself...
【Happy Little Theater】
Joey curled up into a little ball of fur, feeling aggrieved.
Auckland quickly picked up the little guy, stroked his fur and kissed his little head: What's wrong?
Joey: I didn’t appear on set today, and didn’t do anything all day… I couldn’t even get a boxed lunch from the crew QAQ
Oakland: Who said that? You didn't do anything! You were so cute all day! Come on, what do you want to eat? I'll call you!
Joey: Auckland brother is the best!
Hall: ...
Hall also followed his brother's example and curled up into a ball with a wronged look on his face.
Hall: Wifey, I also want kisses, hugs, and lifts, and I want delicious food!
