One of the two young elves affiliated with the Kingdom's Intelligence Department was experienced, so when faced with the unusual situation of the old officer, he just remained calm and waited for instructions. But the other person is a rookie. Although his training results are excellent, when faced with emergencies, his reaction is not as good as other capable members.
Like the situation before him, the young newcomer wanted to ask his superior directly, what was the content of the letter? This made the old elf freeze on the spot as if he had a stroke, without saying a word. But before he could speak, he was stopped by his team leader and another fat elf.
Wildwork Fuerten, aware of the possible situation, asked using the sign language used internally by intelligence personnel: Is there surveillance magic on the letter? Just blink once.
The old elf blinked naturally, and the others immediately understood the situation they were facing.
In the magical world of Mystery, there are many kinds of magic to protect letters. In addition to trap magic that targets viewers, there is also surveillance magic that records viewers; powerful, it can even record environmental conditions to make more judgments. Including where the letter went, what organization it fell into, etc.
The old elf who took the initiative to reveal the letter must have been exposed, so what others can do is to minimize the exposure of other things, including their own existence. Therefore, including Wildwork Wuerten, they all remained quiet and did not go to the front where the letters could be read. At the same time, the personnel responsible for repairing the special letterhead were blocked from the secret door to avoid making too much noise.
As for the exposed old elf, he read the contents of the letter seriously. Anyway, I have already been exposed. If I don't see it in vain, I might as well look at it carefully and understand it clearly.
The problem is that it’s better not to look at it. The more you look at it, the more confused you become, and the more clearly you think about it, the more frightened you become. Finally, after confirming that he had not missed a word, he closed the letter, took a long breath, and said, "Let the restoration crew come in." '
Before handing over the official letter, the old elf emphasized again: 'No one is allowed to read the contents of the letter, nor is it allowed to open the letter. Just fold it up and find a way to restore the letter. '
Although the instructions were weird, the elves in the Intelligence Department had also encountered even weirder instructions. Therefore, the personnel responsible for restoring the special letters naturally followed the order and found a way to complete it.
Wildwork Fuerten was more concerned about its contents than the recovery of the letter. He asked directly: 'What is that little king doing? The credentials actually use special magic. This is not in line with the conventions of communication. '
In fact, the reason why these elves dare to be so negligent is because King Ridan III of the Kingdom of Pyat Jaime is just a child in their eyes, so naturally they don't pay much attention to him. And it is not diplomatic behavior for a child to make some small moves in his formal correspondence. Not to mention sending a human as a messenger, that would be even more confusing.
Especially the magician who is the messenger is also a big problem. Although the other party looked like a core member of the Turtle Dove Alliance, no one recognized which high seater the three-feathered bird icon on his body belonged to.
But even if the other party is a fake, they shouldn't punish him. This delay was also because I wanted to find allies to 'encounter' this magician and then deal with this liar. It's just that this matter didn't go so smoothly, because the core members of the Ikaruga Alliance seemed to have disappeared during this period, and no one could be found. So this matter can only continue to be delayed.
But the old elf who had read the content looked solemn. After sorting out his messy thoughts, he shook his head and said: 'It's not that little king, and the things mentioned in the letter have nothing to do with him. No, this matter is too important. I must meet with His Majesty immediately. '
He grabbed the old elf and pushed him back to his seat. When this action was completed, Wildwork Fuerten realized what an incredible thing he had done. The strength of the person in front of me couldn't be beat by ten of me put together. How could he be controlled so easily? He returned to his seat. The fat elf said: "Don't tell your Majesty in a hurry." You tell me first, it doesn’t matter, it’s very important, what is going on? Also, who discovered you? '
The discovery that Wildwalker Fuerten was referring to was naturally who had cast the surveillance magic in the credentials, and who had fallen into the eyes of the old elf in front of him. As long as you know the target, there are no ways to counterattack, whether it is through public opinion or means.
The old elf's eyes were dull and he said regretfully: 'It's the holy seal, the holy seal of the World Tree. '
'world Tree! 'The surprising answer made the fat elf couldn't help but change his mind. If the object is the World Tree, things can be complicated or simple. Because what the big boss cares about is in a different direction than what ordinary people care about. As long as you grasp the other party's thoughts accurately, you can benefit from it. But...why is that magician related to the World Tree again?
Seeing the fat elf's squinting eyes, the old elf knew that this young elf who had gained power might be planning something. He didn't mind seeing the fat man make a fool of himself, but the matter before him was too big. If he couldn't handle it well, it wouldn't mean that he would make a fool of himself and be unable to step down. So he said: 'Throw away whatever thoughts you have. You can't afford to mess with this. '
'oh. The fat elf smiled and said, "Is there anything you can't afford to do to Mr. Iron Mask?" This is one of the great anecdotes of the kingdom. '
'The holy seals I just saw totaled twenty-one. You're so brave, what do you think you're going to do? 'The old elf kicked the ball out unceremoniously to see how the fat man was going to take the move.
Sure enough, after hearing the number, the fat man froze. As for the World Tree, it is not an unattainable existence for powerful people of their level. But when the order of magnitude increases, the qualitative changes caused by quantitative changes cannot be sustained by people with small bodies like them.
The dumbfounded fat elf said: 'Is the matter so exaggerated? This kind of thing can't happen. '
'Who just said that no matter how outrageous things are, they must be told completely. ’ the old elf retorted.
After being refuted and rendered speechless, Wildwork Fuerten calmed down and rethought various possibilities. It's just...'I remember that there are only nineteen high-ranking officials in the Ikaruga Alliance. ' Wildwork Fu Teng asked uncertainly.
'There is the holy seal of His Majesty Fasnas inside. '
The fat elf was startled and said: 'The second ancient one! '
'There is also a new holy seal. Although I have never seen it before, it has interlaced mimosa on it. '
'Staggered mimosas?' Could it be the World Tree belonging to the Kingdom of Pyat Jaime? 'The fat elf asked himself in confusion.
'It seems so. Also listed on the certificate of credence is, of course, the little king, and the mark of a three-headed monkey. 'Of course, as an official of the Intelligence Department, I had some knowledge about the visiting envoy. On the forum, as the magician who created the forum, and as a master of mathematics, he is more or less a celebrity, so the basic data is still available.
'Three-headed monkey?' That magician? What qualifications does he have? 'The fat elf raised his voice and said questioningly.
'Regardless of whether the magician is qualified or not, the most important thing today is that the twenty-one holy seals are true. I must see your Majesty immediately to clarify this matter. 'The old elf made up his mind, stood up and said.
'Wait a minute, what does the credential say? '
Facing Wildwalk Futeng's persistent questioning, the old elf said impatiently: 'If His Majesty thinks that you are qualified to know, he will naturally summon you to inquire about the opportunity. I am not your subordinate and have no obligation or need to tell you anything. Now, don't get in my way, or I won't be the only one unlucky. '
As he said that, the old elf waved away any movement Wildwalk Futeng tried to stop him. As he stood up, he ordered his subordinates: 'After the repair of this letter is completed, return it properly to its original place. . I also packed away all the things that shouldn't be in that room. Even if we have been exposed, I will make things flawless and maintain the most basic dignity. If you cause His Majesty any embarrassment in the future, you will not be able to live well for the rest of your life. '
After saying harsh words, the old elf left in a hurry. Having to go into the palace to wake up the old king is not a job that can be done happily.
On the way out, a figure came out of the darkness and followed exactly three steps behind the head of the Intelligence Department, without leaning to either side. He said: 'You shouldn't let a group of new recruits do this. '
'The leader has completed ten missions. Who would have known that he still couldn't suppress people and would make such a mistake. It seems that your juniors haven't practiced enough, which is why we lost face in front of the Internal Affairs Office this time. 'The old elf said dissatisfied.
'That's all. '
'Whatever you want to say, just say it. 'The old elf's words were still full of dissatisfaction.
'I have already said that we should pay attention to that magician. He is more dangerous than you thought, and yet you just think of him as a liar. ’ said the voice hiding in the darkness walking behind the old elf.
'There is no point in emphasizing this point now. It's better to think about how to deal with the aftermath. Do you think that after making such a mistake, what position do we have to make suggestions before His Majesty? '
'Whatever that magician wants, please consider it seriously?' 'The voice in the shadow raised its tone and said tentatively.
'Who do you think would accept a coward who doesn't even dare to carry out his mission and proposes such talk of surrender? '
'Surrender. I would like to ask, which one of the things you did forcefully because you didn’t admit failure was actually accomplished? I believe this, and you know it better than I do. However, for the sake of the kingdom's reputation, even if irreparable losses were expected, one had to go ahead with it. I just don’t understand. Is the kingdom’s face really more important than anything else? '
'Because this face consolidates the people's confidence, and confidence is the most important foundation for maintaining this kingdom. Can you imagine what happens next when the people no longer have faith in the Kingdom? Believe me, when that day comes, rebellion will be the most trivial thing that happens to you. And my mission is that this kind of thing will not happen in my lifetime, and I will not leave any hidden dangers to the next generation. And your job is to make sure the same mistake doesn't happen again. Go away and stare at those new recruits. If I let them make mistakes a few more times, I feel that my mission in this life will end early. '
The footsteps hidden in the darkness disappeared. For the old elf, the night had just begun. It will be a sleepless night for those who are about to be disturbed by him, or those who disturb others.
