Banner of the Evil God

The speed of the public carriage was not very fast. Even if the journey was uneventful, it still took a long time to go from Void City to Huishite City.

During this period of time, Bei Feng went in and out and had almost no conversation with other travelers. She also specially took two days of rest in Longhou Town and Gold Rush Town. On the one hand, she wanted to show what a weak female artist should look like, and on the other hand, she wanted to stagger the flights with the passengers who had traveled with her all the way. , reducing the possibility of traveling together.

But she would never have imagined that there was a companion above her head who was always following her but she had never noticed.

When the public carriage stopped at Huishi City Station, Bei Feng deliberately waited for a while before leaving the carriage almost at the end of the passengers. After getting off the carriage, she seemed a little tired. After taking a short rest, she asked passers-by on the roadside about the residence of the sculptor Mr. Wood.

Wood is already a famous person in Phenix City, and even ordinary passers-by know him. However, the pedestrian did not know where he lived, but the enthusiastic person did not intend to let Bei Feng find anyone else to ask for directions. He took her to the guards patrolling the city and asked the guards for Wood's address.

When he was taken to find the guards by the enthusiastic people, Bei Feng's heartbeat obviously increased a lot. Although her face looked calm, in Sui Xiong's eyes, the nervousness and fear were clearly evident.

(Hey, this woman is indeed worse than Wood!)

Sui Xiong smiled inwardly as he watched Bei Feng negotiate with the guards and reveal that she was Mr. Wood's long-lost wife. Then, accompanied by the guards who were wide-eyed in surprise, they arrived at Wood's wood carving workshop.

Of course Wood didn't know Bei Feng, but she only said "I heard about you in Cape Town" and he understood the other party's identity.

Where is Haijiao Town? It's the town where Gray Pigeon's magic item shop is located.

Who else but federal spies would specifically mention that?

So he immediately showed a look of surprise and joy, admitted Bei Feng's identity to the guards, and insisted on giving the guards a small gift to express his gratitude.

In fact, at that moment, their expressions were slightly inconsistent. The guard was a retired adventurer, and with his eyesight, it was possible to spot the clues. However, Sui Xiong secretly disturbed his thoughts and prevented him from noticing this.

How boring it would be if the guards exposed him directly!

With this thought in mind, Sui Xiong watched the two of them enter the workshop and sat down facing each other.

"Are you here to replace me?" Wood said happily, "I can finally go home?"

"Going home" is a lingo for spies, which means that you can hand over your mission and return home.

Of course, for spies like them who are loyal to the Mystic Tower Federation, there is really no difference between returning home and going home.

Most of them are orphans, and the Federation is their home.

Seeing the joyful look on Wood's face, Bei Feng secretly had some doubts in his heart - there seemed to be something wrong with this guy's reaction.

Ordinarily, if Wood had rebelled, or had the intention of rebelling, he would be surprised or angry when he saw her appearance.

Over the years, although his work has not been outstanding, his latent tasks have been completed very well. Allowing him to return to China under such circumstances would be a waste of all these years of lurking. How could he not be angry?

Little did she know that Wood had been distressed during this period and had always wanted to return to the Federation.

As a senior spy, he is relatively clear about the policies of the Secret Tower Federation. He knew that his piece of intelligence would probably not be enough to change the thinking of the Federation's top brass. There was a 70% to 80% chance that the Federation would still join an alliance that was unfavorable to the Northwest Republic and participate in the attack.

This worried him.

He can guarantee that this attack will not have any effect - it may break the myth of peace in Void City, it may kill a group of civilians, nothing more, nothing more.

In that case, apart from damaging some of the reputation of the Northwest Republic, will there be any other effect?

Obviously not.

But even such a trivial result can only be achieved by wasting the lives of high-level or even legendary powerhouses.

As a ranger who has yet to reach a high level, Wood really feels that it is a pity.

So he really looks forward to returning to the Mystic Tower Federation to introduce his ideas to his superiors face to face, tell him about what he has seen and heard over the years, emphasize to him the choice between "war" and "peace", and talk about life. experience.

Not only that, returning to the Secret Tower Federation would allow him to get rid of his inner dilemma and return to his normal pace.

In recent times, Wood has been in a state of inner conflict. He is worried that he will be discovered, but also hopes that his most important piece of information will be useful - these are not important. What is important is that he is loyal to the Mystic Tower Federation and has a good impression of Huishite City. Dilemma.

His loyalty to the Federation is unquestionable and is truly as solid as a rock and indestructible. However, over the years, every bit of the goodwill of the people in Huishi City has nourished his heart like spring breeze and rain.

No matter how solid the stone is, water will penetrate it.

Although Wood didn't want to admit it, there was actually some wavering in his heart.

Especially after he sent out the last piece of information, he thought he was on the verge of death, but unexpectedly nothing happened and he was still living a peaceful life. This made him even more confused and distrustful of himself. The code creates a bit of doubt.

Treat goodwill with goodwill and malice with malice. This is Wood's life rule.

However, Huishi Town only had good intentions towards him, without the slightest bit of malice.

Loyalty to the Union is his principle, and he is also in a dilemma when principles and norms conflict.

His original intention was to escape by death, but since he failed, his thoughts became more active during this period, and he also thought of many things that he had not thought of before.

Did you really not expose yourself?

Or...even though they have been exposed, Huishi City and the Northwest Republic do not harbor any ill intentions towards me?

He didn't know, didn't want to know, and didn't dare to know.

He was afraid that if he knew the truth, he would not be able to stick to his principles.

So when he saw Bei Feng coming and guessed that the other party was coming to replace him, he was really happy.

As expected, his superiors were far-sighted and always thought of himself. Knowing that his current situation was a bit embarrassing, he sent someone to replace him!

This idea is obviously too naive, but that's all Wood can think about now.

As for some other thoughts, he just nodded and was forcibly extinguished by him.

You must not think about those things!

But the slight ripples in his heart could not be hidden from Sui Xiong floating above their heads.

Sui Xiong smiled and watched the development of things quietly.

His intuition told him that it seemed that this matter was not only interesting, but might also have some special gains...
