"You want me to accept the commission?"
Wayne had a strange expression on his face. Looking at Shor, whose face was a little stiff in front of him, he suddenly became interested.
You know, as the most powerful intelligence agency in Stormwind, although it cannot be said to be full of experts, it is definitely not short of good people. As the leader of this organization, it is too abnormal for Shaw to come to him to issue a commission.
However, as an intelligence officer, Shaw was still very tight-lipped. He didn't seem to want to explain too much to Wayne. He just asked expressionlessly, "A bounty of 500 gold coins for one battle."
"Such a large bounty is enough for an average adventurer to live comfortably for a year or two."
"And you just need to help us defeat a few enemies. This is a very good deal."
"How about it, Mr. Wayne, are you willing to accept it?"
As Shor's voice fell, Wayne immediately heard the voice of the system in his ears.
Ding! Master mission "The Mastermind", help MI7 complete this commission.
After hearing the master-level mission prompted by the system, Wayne was a little surprised. As a golden finger that comes with the time travel, the mission level prompted by the system often represents the difficulty of this mission.
Obviously, Shor's reward of 500 gold coins is not easy to take, and the enemy they are about to deal with must be very powerful.
Although he was ready to accept the mission, he was a little dissatisfied with Shaw's deliberate concealment. Besides, who would he look down upon with a reward of 500 gold coins? Did Master Wayne need this little money? So he laughed and said to Shaw in a teasing tone: "Haha, Commander Shaw, I have heard some of the legends about MI7. Let's be frank. I think you have investigated a lot of information about me in the past three days."
"Do you think someone with my financial resources would care about a mere 500 gold coins?"
"Isn't the reward you prepared for me too insincere?"
"And you didn't tell me any intelligence, and you just wanted me to risk my life to help you fight. As an experienced adventurer, do I look like such a fool?"
There was teasing and sarcasm in Wayne's words, but Shore remained expressionless. As an intelligence officer, keeping a straight face has become their professional instinct. Even if they knew they were in the wrong, there would be no expression of abnormality on their face.
Perhaps it is because it is not easy to find an adventurer like Wayne who has a clean background and strong strength.
After a few seconds of silence, Shaw and Wayne looked at each other for a few seconds, then said in a cold voice:
"Van Cleef's escape from prison was specially arranged by our MI7."
"You don't have to worry about being attacked by him."
"He has reached an agreement with me. Whether it is the Defias Brotherhood in the West Wilderness or the riot in Stormwind City, there is a mastermind behind it."
"Our goal is to find out the mastermind behind this and give Van Cleef a fair trial, rather than letting the former Stonemason Brotherhood bear the guilt forever."
"That's why I invited an adventurer like you who just came to Stormwind City to participate in this matter. Only you have enough strength and a clean position."
"Mr. Wayne, if this matter can be resolved perfectly, you will gain the friendship of MI7, and your adventurous life in Storm Kingdom will become smoother in the future."
Perhaps because he really needed the help of a master like Wayne, he originally did not think he would get any explanation. Unexpectedly, Shore was quite sincere and told him the whole story, even pointing out that Van Cleef had become a traitor. He was quite sincere.
Seeing this, Wayne did not argue. After listening to Shor's explanation, he hesitated for dozens of seconds as if thinking, and then agreed to the commission.
After all, compared to the actual reward of 500 gold coins, which seems like a lot but is actually not worth mentioning, the friendship of SI:7 seems to be more precious.
Of course, if you are a person of no use, even if you gain the friendship of MI7, it probably just sounds good and has no practical effect.
But for someone as powerful as Wayne, it would be much easier to deal with many things in the future with friendship as an excuse. After all, friendship is priceless.
After returning to the hotel, Wayne immediately fell into thinking.
Unlike Shor who lives in this era, as a former veteran World of Warcraft player, he is quite familiar with the truth of certain things.
According to the information he got from the game, the mastermind behind the riot of the Stonemasons Brotherhood, the corruption of the Noble Council, and the rampant Defias Brotherhood was the Black Dragon Princess, Onyxia.
The daughter of the black dragon king Deathwing is now transformed into Countess Katrana Prestor, manipulating the noble council of Stormwind and having a close relationship with the current regent of Stormwind, Bolvar Fordragon.
It is worth mentioning that the current King of Stormwind is a half-finished product. The former King Varian was kidnapped by the Defias Brotherhood controlled by the Black Dragon Princess on his way to Theramore a few years ago. Then he was split into two by dark magic, turning into two cowardly and violent souls. The cowardly king was brought back, and the violent gladiator king is now probably fighting for his freedom.
In Stormwind's current power system, Shaw of MI7, the military, and the Noble Council restrain each other and hold almost all the power in the kingdom. The Noble Council is the one with the most power among the three and has the right to formulate the kingdom's policies.
However, with the Black Dragon Princess's continued bewitching and the Regent being controlled by magic, almost the entire aristocratic council obeyed the wealthy countess's orders. The Black Dragon Princess did influence the fate of this human kingdom to some extent.
Whether it is the Westward Wilderness, Duskwood or Redridge Mountains, the reason these places fell into chaos is that there are traces of the Black Dragon Princess' manipulation.
It seems that after Van Cleef was caught and put in jail by him in advance, he may have figured it out, or it may be that the persuasion of Shaw, who was from the same school as him, played a role.
This guy turned from evil to good and joined MI7, ready to be a traitor and catch the mastermind behind the plot that looms over Stormwind City.
This is an interesting task, and with the power of the Black Dragon Princess, it is indeed worthy of the standard of a master-level task.
