After spending a lot of time and energy, Sui Xiong finally succeeded in taking Wood under his command.
From a combat effectiveness perspective, this is definitely a waste. Wood is just a high-level ranger. Even with his caster level, he has not yet reached the level of "pseudo-legend". Among Sui Xiong's subordinates, there are currently so many legendary strong men that they can't be counted on two hands. One more of him and one less of him doesn't matter at all.
However, Sui Xiong felt that it was worth it.
Because Wood is not an ordinary talent, but a rare intelligence talent, and he is the top one.
The intelligence work of the Northwestern Republic is currently led by Crito. This ranger-turned-spy leader is good at tracking, sneaking, hiding, stealing, and many other special skills. However, he is a complete layman when it comes to spy thinking and intelligence analysis.
Relying on the strength of the legendary strongman, he can easily sneak into most places and steal all kinds of things he wants; he can also silently send someone who is unfavorable to the Northwest Republic to the underworld, and the other party may even Even after death, you don't even understand how you died; you can still follow any clues and find out all kinds of clues that others try hard to hide.
However, his ability is limited to this.
He is a good thief, a good assassin, a good hunter, or a good policeman... but not a good spy.
For example, not long ago, he discovered that a group of people were monitoring Master Damweide, the god of agriculture destined by Sui Xiong. According to Sui Xiong's idea, he could use his strong strength to secretly observe and see what these people had done, or he could directly arrest them for interrogation and ask them about their origins... But Klitto did it neatly. The sword rose and fell, oh, the sword rose and fell, and a group of spies were all cut into mosaics that would look like they would be in a children's movie.
After Sui Xiong learned about it, he was speechless.
Why is this guy so violent? And don’t you think your approach is very problematic
You are a spy! He is a cultural person! Why do you think in terms of fists, muscles and swords? Have you ever seen a spy who kills people all day long
Sui Xiong sighed, but he didn't know how to explain it to Crito, who felt good about himself, so he became more determined to bring Wood under his command.
Although it took a lot of time and effort, he finally achieved his goal.
With the addition of Wood, the original shortcomings of the Northwest Republic's intelligence work will be made up. Sui Xiong finally no longer has to worry about whether the intelligence director whose combat effectiveness is at least two blocks beyond his professional ability will make some mistakes that will make him laugh or cry. .
That guy Clito is only suitable to be a lone ranger, or to lead a small team to fight. He is really not suitable to be a leader and a supervisor. He doesn't have this talent.
After all, only a true professional like Wood can handle such a highly professional matter.
Sui Xiong smiled and took Wood back to his kingdom of God. He also summoned Lampelus, the god of spellcasters, who had been watching from a distance. As for what Lampelus would think... Since he didn't show up at that time, That's the default.
For the believers that he truly values, the gods will not hesitate to personally fight for them. For example, take the legendary necromancer Tuyan. When he moved to the Northwest Republic, the God of Spellcasters personally visited Sui Xiong and said, "I have taken a fancy to this person a long time ago and have been cultivating him. You You can’t cut off the beard.”
Sui Xiong certainly wouldn't cut it off, but he felt that Lamperus's idea was too wishful thinking. Tu Ya'an clearly wants to pursue immortality. If he wants to return to the kingdom of God after his death, he may not know how long it will take. He may not be able to wait until the end of the world.
In comparison, Wood is still better. He is capable, professional, and most importantly, a mortal. He does not live long. He can wait patiently for at least a hundred or eighty years, and he will report to the Kingdom of God obediently.
If it were Tu Ya'an... As far as Sui Xiong knew, among the powerful demigods in the world today, there are quite a few who debuted shortly after the great cycle was formed in the past and the world was reopened. Although most of them are in seclusion, if nothing unexpected happens , no matter how long it takes, they will continue to live - unless the world is destroyed again.
Because he felt that he was wiser than Lampelus, Sui Xiong was in a good mood and kept smiling while helping Wood resurrect.
Wood didn't know why, but as a spy, he didn't have the bad habit of asking random questions, so he kept silent.
However, when he saw the body that Sui Xiong had given him for resurrection, he finally spoke.
"Please modify my figure and appearance." He said, "It would be better if it is very different from the past."
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, paused the work at hand, and turned to look at him.
"Do you know that this will reduce the degree of integration between your soul and body?"
Wood raised his eyebrows: "I know now."
"Then you still insist on asking me to modify this body?"
Wood thought for a moment and still nodded.
"Why?" Sui Xiong asked curiously.
Wood smiled bitterly and said: "It's just saying goodbye to the past forever. The me I once was is dead, and now I hope to live with a new look."
"This is just self-deception, you are still you after all." Sui Xiong said.
"But at least it can give me some psychological comfort." Wood said, "And it can also reduce some unnecessary troubles."
"Trouble?" Sui Xiong sneered and patted his shoulder, "Let me tell you one thing, my subordinates never have to be afraid of any 'trouble'!"
His honest and honest jellyfish face showed a fierce murderous intention: "Over the years, those who cause us trouble will basically not trouble others anymore. Recently, our troubles have become less and less... Honestly Say, I’m still a little uncomfortable with it.”
"If there's trouble, that's for the best. I'm too busy."
Wood was speechless by what he said - the newly appointed boss is indeed very domineering, and most importantly, his brilliant record over the years is indeed worthy of such a domineering speech.
But he finally convinced Sui Xiong. After all, Sui Xiong didn't have the bad habit of being stubborn and making others uncomfortable.
A few minutes later, Wood got up from the ground and looked at his new appearance in the temporary mirror next to him.
Completely different from the handsome but obviously no longer young artist in the past, he is now a tall and heroic young man, at least a head taller than before, with broad shoulders and a thick body. Strong force. Moreover, he could clearly feel that his body contained amazing power, which even gave him the feeling that "as long as he clenches his fist hard, even iron can be crushed into slag."
"Is it my illusion? I feel that I am full of power." He couldn't help but murmur to himself, "If it wasn't an illusion, I might be able to fight a giant dragon head-on even with my bare hands."
"Of course it's not an illusion." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "How can the body I created be weak! Although you look like a human now, you are actually a legendary creature."
He paused and then said: "And... even among legendary creatures, you are considered relatively strong!"
