The entrance to the secret passage rose slowly.
Garen strode in, and there were some members passing by in the passage. Seeing his cold expression, they all stayed away from him slightly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Above the channel, there are transparent crystals projecting light blue water light at intervals. This is an underground facility built under water.
Not far away, Garen saw the fat man who contacted him last time running towards him shaking his fat.
"Oh! My dear Nine-Headed Team Leader! You are finally back!!" The fat man opened his arms exaggeratedly, wanting to hug him.
Garen ignored him and walked past him.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Amount..." A look of embarrassment flashed across Fatty Baidra's face. Folding his arms, "It's the Marquis of Yawei, the deputy director. Your immediate superior wants to see you. It's about the end of the red team's mission."
He paused, "Nine-headed team leader, you have indeed completed this mission beautifully, and with Xuefeng's special mission this time, maybe the red team will be promoted."
"Promotion? What does promotion mean to me?" Garen asked casually as he walked.
"Of course! There are great benefits!" The fat man quickly trotted along with Garen, barely keeping up with his speed. "If the red group is promoted to a senior group, then the welfare benefits will also be improved. The support from the General Administration will also increase a lot."
"What are the specific benefits?" Garen was the type who wouldn't let go if he couldn't see the specific benefits.
"Well, it's mainly improved from two aspects. Wealth and power." Fatty Baidra took out a white handkerchief and kept wiping the sweat off his face. "Wealth is completely up to you to choose. This is exchanged with mission points. It can be secret treasures, territories, and top-level enjoyment of resources. Potions, poisons, and equipped with weapons are all fine. Rights, it may be Promote positions, grasp power, get support from other branches and even the headquarters, etc.”
"It's quite rich." Garen nodded. Only then did he completely suppress the heat in his heart.
After the two turned a few corners, the number of people in the passage increased significantly. Many of them were waiters and staff in gray clothes, obviously serving the members here. They come and go pushing carts filled with boxes of food and drink or clothing supplies.
Some staff came out of some beeping rooms, hurriedly holding scrolls of similar information. Others followed the waiter through the aisle holding the big frame for the uniform, not knowing what to do.
Others stood at the fork in the road and argued quietly.
The entire headquarters was obviously much more lively than Garen's last visit.
As if seeing Garen's doubts, Fatty Bedra explained while leading the way.
"Usually many people go out on missions, and those dedicated team service teams naturally rest. Now that many teams have returned, the corresponding service teams are also busy. Repairing equipment, repairing instruments, reviewing tasks, issuing notices, etc. Things pile up all at once, and this time is the busiest every time.”
Nodding, Garen expressed his understanding.
Baidra continued: "Now our headquarters is mainly supported by funding from Kuwaitan. Of course, we also have some industries. But not many, so we mainly serve Kuwaitan. The trust ceremony is about to start recently. Naturally, we will also Get busy. Five of the nine teams have returned to maintain the secret security affairs of the imperial capital."
Garen understood.
The two turned a fork again and walked into a closed passage, at the end of which was a white and silver-patterned gate. A guard in white heavy armor stood guard at the door.
Baidra walked over and showed a white card to the guard.
The latter immediately bowed his head in salute, and turned sideways to open the door.
The door opened automatically, without a sound.
Garen followed Baidra into the room.
Inside is a layout similar to a conference hall, the whole body is white, and the walls are full of silver lines, like inscribed patterns. Four white stone Pegasus statues are placed in the four corners, which are as tall as a person and look lifelike.
In the middle is a circle of black sofas, on which two people are currently sitting.
A man with a full beard, black-rimmed glasses, and a neat black dress, looks like an artist.
The other person has a white face and no beard, with short dark golden hair combed into a big back, forming lines neatly back. This is a middle-aged man with a smile and a gloomy demeanor.
The two looked at Garen, who was looking at the door and coming in.
"Baidra, did you bring the leader of the Nine Heads? It's rare. We are both from Kuwaitan. It's the first time I met the leader of the Nine Heads. I'm really ashamed." The white-faced man stood up with a smile on his face. She greeted him embarrassingly, and held hands with Jia Long solemnly.
"I am Senda Tungus. Your Majesty has already mentioned me in front of you, right?"
Garen immediately recalled that Avek had indeed said that among the secret agencies, only Earl Senda had some influence in the secret agency, and the rest were all foreigners.
He carefully looked at the man in front of him. His eyes were swollen and his complexion was pale. At first glance, he was lacking in energy and blood. There is also a white mark on the chest, which seems to be a white flame.
"Hello. I'm Garen, I think you should know it?" Since the other party had already declared their name, Garen didn't hide much.
"I've heard it for a long time!" Senda shook Garen's hand heavily.
"The nine-headed team leader, you came just in time." Another person stood up, "Earl Senda came here this time to ask me for help, but everyone knows the situation in the imperial capital now, how can there be any manpower allocated, even to maintain basic security? .”
Garen glanced at the purple mark on this person's chest, and immediately guessed that this person was the Marquis of Yawei, the deputy director of the entire General Administration, and the nominal manager of the Nine Colors Group. He is also the leader of the purple team.
"Ask for help?" Garen asked puzzled.
"Yes, now our Kuwaitan Headquarters is mainly assisting the empire to clean up the monster's lair and restore the territory. At the same time, we will eliminate the rebellion of the Black Sky Society. But this time the earl's cyan team is in trouble." Marquis Yawei nodded, "You Before coming back, the director general had already held a meeting of team leaders, but due to the serious shortage of manpower, the people in the cyan team could only hold on for a while."
"What's going on?" Garen frowned.
"I'll talk about this later, I'll give you red team rewards first." Marquis Yawei waved his hand, stood up, walked to a Pegasus statue in the corner of the room, pulled out a drawer from the base of the statue, and took A small white crystal ball came out.
Holding the crystal ball, he returned to sit next to them.
"This is the reward for this time, as a response to the high difficulty of this mission, so this time the reward is also the white level ordered by the chief director."
He tapped lightly on the white crystal ball.
laugh!
The crystal ball suddenly opened like a flower bud, a hole opened from the top, and then opened countless white petals layer by layer, revealing a white diamond-shaped gemstone inside the core.
This white gem is suspended, constantly rotating automatically, emitting a faint white shimmer.
Bedra explained in a low voice beside Garen.
"The rewards are actually arranged according to the nine colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver. White is the highest reward after silver! This is judged according to the difficulty of the task. A white gem can be exchanged for a full 1,000 gems. Mission point!"
Garen didn't know what 1000 mission points could do, but it was good to know anyway. He solemnly took the white gemstone Yawei handed over. Carefully store it in your fanny pack.
"In addition, your red team has overfulfilled the task this time. According to the comprehensive strength assessment, do you want to apply for promotion to the team?" Yawei continued to ask.
"It should be more troublesome to apply for a promotion, right?" Garen asked back.
"Well, we need to compete with the upper-level group. This is a test of overall strength."
"Then there's no rush for now." Garen shook his head.
"What about me...?" Earl Senda interjected. He seemed to be depleted of energy and blood, and it was obvious that he had just recovered from a serious injury.
"This question is really troublesome. Now is a critical period, and we really can't spare any manpower." Yawei answered with some embarrassment. "Why don't you ask the leader of the Nine Heads?"
Senda shook his head, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face.
"It's too late to transfer people from here. Even if the nine-headed team leader is willing, we don't have that much time. Forget it, I'll go back and inform other people that this mission has failed."
"I can't help you if you say that." Yawei smiled wryly, "The manpower over there has already been transferred in advance."
Senda scratched his hair in distress, without any aristocratic demeanor, he apologized to Jialong and Yawei helplessly, and left the office.
Garen carefully understood the current situation with the Marquis of Yawei and Bai Dela.
Now a large number of forces in the entire Kuwaitan have been sent out to clean up various monster lairs and continue to regain their original territories. However, both sides have their own outcome with the monster, and fell into a stalemate for a while. If most of the masters of the secret agency hadn't needed a return visit for this trust ceremony, they would probably continue to go out to cooperate with the empire to eliminate those mutated monsters.
The state agency, the secret agency, and the mathematics agency are each in charge of one direction, and the remaining most troublesome party is in charge of Kuwaitan itself. The recovery operation has been going on, and now it has pushed the West Farm Law defense line outward by about one-third, barely recovering about half of the original country.
But now facing the shortage of resources, the resource ores used by the totem masters to repair the totems are somewhat unable to support them. And the monsters outside are still endless, as if there is no end.
Not only Kuwaitan, but now Tanya is also in the same situation. Only Ennet is a little better. They have giant stone statues. It was destroyed by a huge flying dragon monster with three pairs of transparent cicada wings. Now Ennett is back on defense across the country, anxious for all external strongmen to resist the attack of this monster's army.
The previous poisonous woman originally planned to return to Ennett, and it was also for this reason.
"Generally speaking, the situation of our royal alliance is now at a stalemate. The three major domains, the dragon domain, the rainbow domain, and the black domain, have also tended to unite recently. Obviously, they also encountered a counterattack from a powerful monster. In the situation where the situation cannot be broken Your Majesty, His Majesty's plan now is to revive all walks of life internally and restore the country's comprehensive system, otherwise without the support of industry, no matter how powerful the army is, it will not be able to continue fighting."
The Marquis of Yawei is obviously in a high position, so he has a much clearer understanding of the situation.
