Ha, it seems that classmate Greg didn't realize that the question he was supposed to ask Lin Jie has now become a matter of himself being embarrassed by the question...
Lin Jie smiled calmly, looking at the boy who picked up the communication device and started talking in a low voice.
If you want to fight with me, kid, you are still too young.
And Greg's mood at the moment is indescribable, he can only take a deep breath, suppress the full of anger and anxiety, and answer the communication from Winston, the chief of the combat section, with the calmest mind possible: "Hello..."
But he didn't expect the other side to be more anxious than him, and Winston, who has always been known for his steadiness, almost lowered his voice and roared, "Greg, the apprentice knight, please confirm, are you attending Ji Zhixu's birthday party at the A16 manor? ?"
"Yes."
Greg immediately replied quickly: "Because the Intelligence Division has no assignments for the time being, the family asked me, the youngest son, to attend the banquet of Luoer Resources as a statement..."
This is also the reason why he complained to his father in the communication device with great dissatisfaction just now.
Because the Secret Ritual Tower and the Corpse Eating Sect had already started a head-to-head war, the role of the Intelligence Section was minimal at this time. The intelligence had been basically collected before the war, and the Intelligence Section staff were not strong enough to fill the battlefield.
Many people were temporarily transferred to the stressful logistics department, or, like Greg, were left idle.
That's why he was assigned this boring and extravagant mortal banquet to pass the time...
"I didn't ask you why!" Winston interrupted: "Now you have a mission, an urgent mission directly issued by the elder seat—"
"Listen clearly." His tone was extremely serious: "At this moment, the subordinate object of the No. 113 I-level file is suspected of being above the god level, and the owner of an unknown bookstore named Lin Jie broke through three hours ago. We are out of the surveillance range of the tower and are attending this banquet in the A16 manor."
"And now, due to the war between the tower and the Corpse Eating Sect, almost all the personnel have been transferred to the battlefield. At this moment, you are the only person in the tower in the A16 manor."
"Therefore, only you can shoulder the task of continuing to monitor him, do you understand?"
"In short, your next task is to find him, and secretly monitor his movements, report in real time, and negotiate to a certain extent if necessary, but you must apply to the tower and act cautiously under guidance. , must not act rashly, understand?"
Greg glanced at Lin Jie who was drinking tea opposite, opened his mouth blankly, and was speechless for a while.
On the other side, Winston saw the long silence in the communication device, frowned and said sternly: "What's the matter, Greg apprentice knight? Please answer me immediately. I repeat, your task is to find the owner of the bookstore during the banquet. , and to monitor and appropriately negotiate them.”
"I know from your file that you have had contact with the owner of the bookstore. You should remember his physical characteristics. You are also a logistics investigator. It shouldn't be difficult to find him, but you must be careful to hide yourself."
"This task is very important and very dangerous. It is related to the life and death of your teacher Joseph. Please take it seriously. If necessary, the tower will give all possible help, understand?"
"If you understand, please reply immediately."
Greg said: "I understand, but..."
Winston raised his voice a little bit coldly: "But? Apprentice knight, you have no room for opinions, this is a mandatory task. If you want to refuse, please think about your family first, for As far as the Mystery Tower is concerned, even the long-standing wizarding family is still small."
He could understand how terrified those who were given the task would feel.
Facing the pressure of a god-level existence alone is no different from looking directly into the abyss, and death is like a shadow.
But again, for the Secret Ritual Tower, this is also a desperate gamble, and there is no room for rejection.
"No, I didn't want to refuse. Rather, I'd be happy to help, but there is a situation that I have to report..."
Greg paused, adjusted his mood, coughed twice, and tried his best to calmly say: "... Actually, he's right across from me."
"… "
"… "
Winston was silent for a few seconds, then took a deep breath: "The opposite?"
Greg: "Hmm."
Winston: "How close?"
Greg glanced at Lin Jie, who seemed to be tasting the decorations in the room, and whispered euphemistically, "Uh... a table so close."
Didn't they meet at all? !
Winston's eyes were about to pop out. Even if he had experienced countless fights on the battlefield, it was not as exciting as the ups and downs now, and his heart almost stopped beating.
They made careful planning for a long time before they dared to contact the only member of the Secret Ritual Tower who was currently at the banquet. As a result, they came up and told them that the final boss was already at the door.
calm down.
Winston took a deep breath, since the owner of the bookstore was already on the opposite side, it means... their actions have been seen.
Moreover, even Greg's identity has become a condition for leaving the entire banquet with only one person who can be contacted.
Is this even in his plan? !
From guiding Joseph and Wilde to collide again, to the opening of the battle between the Mystic Tower and the Corpse Eating Sect, to the unexpected participation in the banquet, every step, to this moment, seems to be intertwined and closely arranged.
Is this the legendary "all-knowing and omnipotent"... In this case, I can only bite the bullet and continue.
Winston temporarily changed the plan and said: "Listen, apprentice knight, now Joseph and Wilde have fought, and the situation is very bad, because Joseph's daughter Melissa was deceived by the people controlled by the Fire Sword Road and also participated Although the action of encircling and suppressing the corpse cannibalism is not life-threatening at present, as long as she is on the battlefield, it is equivalent to becoming the opponent's hostage, and Joseph... is already at a disadvantage."
"How deep was the hatred that the battle buried in Wilde's heart, how crazy he is now, after so many years, his cruelty and cunning are even worse than before, Joseph has a tie in his heart, and for Wilde, everyone It's all just tools, so we have to find other breakthroughs."
Greg squeezed the hand of the communicator tightly, thinking of what Lin Jie had just said, his heart sank, and sure enough...
But no matter how strong Wilde is, isn't it just a destruction level? The Mystery Tower can fight against a god-level organization, isn't it supported
Winston seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "Unfortunately, the Mystery Tower can't handle it now, although it's unbelievable... But it was about ten minutes ago, that is, the first few minutes before I decided to contact you. , we detected the center of the battlefield—"
"There are two god-level fluctuations."
