Peng Ziyi said: "Let's go and take some people over to take a look."
"No need. We heard that your important people have arrived, so we came here uninvited." The door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside. A middle-aged man in his forties stood at the door. Behind him were two men and one woman. They were all wearing modern-style clothes of Hewan New City. They did not hold any weapons in their hands, but for some reason, they gave people a sense of murderousness.
Seeing this group of people breaking into the conference room, the special agents of the Intelligence Department gathered from all corners of the room and blocked their way.
Peng Ziyi asked: "Who asked you to come here? Where are our people who were in the room just now?"
The middle-aged man did not answer his question, but said with a fake smile: "I am Favio, the envoy of the Empire. May I ask who is Mr. Guo Qian here? Duke Bernard has a gift for him, and then we can have a good talk about the solution to Heimuguan."
Guo Qian stood up at the conference table and said, "I am, Mr. Favio. We are still at war with the Empire. We have not received any other information from the Empire that they want to talk. Who instructed you to come here? What kind of news do you bring to us? Do you represent Emperor Alfred or Prime Minister Bernard?"
"The will of His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister is consistent. We represent the attitude of the Imperial Court," said Favio.
Peng Ziyi used mind-detecting magic to observe his performance. Favio's mind had been slightly agitated since he first stepped into the room, which formed a sharp contrast with his seemingly calm attitude.
However, when he said those words, his spirit did not fluctuate significantly, which showed that he believed that what he said was true.
The people standing behind him were in a similar mental state to him, and seemed to be in a state of excitement and excitement. However, if an envoy secretly went deep into the enemy's city and was about to have a negotiation with their leader, it was normal to have such a mentality.
Peng Ziyi exchanged glances with the magician in the special forces who was responsible for identifying suspicious targets. The other party made a normal secret signal. Obviously, the result perceived by the magician was basically the same as his.
Guo Qian said: "We still have an important person here, Chang Lin, who has not arrived yet. I heard that he went to arrange for you to come."
Favio said, "I don't know about this, but I know very well who I am looking for. After all, you are the one who truly holds the highest power here. Vice Chairman Chang has already introduced the basic situation here to us yesterday. He told us that only the final agreement reached with you is truly effective. We need to go back as soon as possible and give an answer to the Prime Minister and His Majesty the Emperor. Let's not waste time now and start now."
Peng Ziyi whispered to a special agent, "Go, arrange for someone to find Chang Lin and Jiang Yitian immediately. At the same time, raise the alert level of Hewan New City to orange. Block several exits of Hewan New City and have the guards stationed nearby send people to cooperate. From now on, all teams and individuals leaving the city must undergo the most stringent inspections."
Guo Qian said, "Okay, let me hear what you have to say."
Favio said to the woman behind him, "Onni, take out the gift that Master Bernard prepared."
Oni took out a box from her storage ring. The box was a cube. In Peng Ziyi's opinion, it was slightly larger than the lunch box in his original world.
The special mages of the Intelligence Department did not let Oni hand the box to Guo Qian, nor did they let her open it. Instead, they conducted a basic security check first.
Peng Ziyi also used magic to detect the box. There was a weak fluctuation of magic power in the box. This level of magic power would definitely not be able to hurt anyone. It should be the vibration caused by the magic power attached to some magic prop.
Two mages from the Intelligence Department checked the box separately and both agreed that it posed no safety risks and allowed Oni to open it.
"This is a magic item called the Sphere of Tranquility." Aoni opened the box and took out a crystal ball. She gently lifted her hand and the ball floated in the air, emitting a wave of magic. "Its main function is to increase the stability of the mental power of surrounding magicians. It is a magic item that can significantly improve the success rate of spellcasting. Whether it is used in battle, in experiments, or in personal practice, it can play an irreplaceable role. This multifunctional magic item is very rare. Lord Bernard hopes that this can represent some of our sincerity."
Guo Qian said: "I have seen the gifts, but I will not accept gifts without merit. I hope you can first explain clearly what you are going to do."
"It's like this. The plague that occurred in Heimuguan disrupted the empire's deployment. It not only hurt our soldiers, but also caused serious damage to many surrounding towns. Regarding this matter, we hope that the Chinese can tell us the treatment method..."
Just as Favio and Guo Qian began to discuss the specific matters, Oni, who was guarding the magic props, quietly placed a hand on the crystal ball.
Peng Ziyi, who had sharp eyes, said, "What are you doing? Stop!"
But Oni didn't answer him at all, but began to inject mental power into the crystal ball.
"Catch her!" Peng Ziyi yelled, "Tell her to stop that action."
Just as several special agents pounced on her, the crystal ball suddenly burst into extremely bright light, like a sun suddenly appearing in the conference room, and the entire room was engulfed in bright white light.
Almost everyone was watching Oni's movements at the time. Such a huge burst of light caused those who had their eyes open to become temporarily blind. Favio and the others closed their eyes at the critical moment. They were the few people in the room who did not suffer eye trauma.
On the Chinese side, only Peng Ziyi turned around and called for help when the light burst out, so his eyes were not directly hit by the light. But even so, he was dazed for a few seconds before slowly regaining his vision. During this time, the four imperial men had already taken out their weapons.
In the light that obscured the entire room, the four Imperials took advantage of the fact that no one was able to fight back and began to hack and kill the surrounding committee members and the special agents protecting them.
Peng Ziyi felt something hot spilled on his head and body. He turned around and saw a special forces member being beheaded by Favio, and the blood spilled on him was the victim's blood. (To be continued)
