Banner of the Evil God

Wood is a veteran spy. In the spy business, he has almost reached the pinnacle of mortals. Even though he has become a little dull over the years, his past foundation and basic qualities are still there.

At this moment in crisis and pain, the slight dullness caused by the comfortable life over the years was brushed away like dust, and he became the top spy that people admired back then again.

In just a moment, he roughly guessed the ins and outs of the matter.

But he would rather be as dull as before, or even worse, not guess anything.

He even thought that maybe he didn't find anything, and just died just now, which would be the best ending.

The situation is very clear. The Federation probably judged that he had been bought by the Northwest Republic and would betray the Federation because the value of the intelligence he sent back over the years was getting lower and lower. Beifeng came here not to assist him, but to eliminate him.

In fact, he had already noticed it. According to his situation in the past few years, even if the Federation wanted to increase manpower, it would only send one person to lead and reduce him to a deputy. How could it be possible to send an elite spy to help him?

If they wanted to send helpers, they could have sent them long ago. And there was no need to send any particularly powerful spies, as long as they could help cover for him, an ordinary spy would be competent.

The main reason why the Federation sent Beifeng here was probably that after executing him, this intelligence station still needed her to preside over it.

As for her method of assassinating him, it was even more obvious - the almost unbearable pain in his body was not only the effect of magic, but also the influence of powerful toxins. And this toxin could make him unaware when he ate it, and it was so powerful when it took effect. It was obviously designed specifically, and it might even be designed specifically for him.

This really made him sigh... If they had the spirit to design a poison specifically for killing him, why couldn't they send someone to help him?

If they could send a helper earlier, would things have developed to this point?

The corners of his mouth curled up sarcastically. Although he was heartbroken, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

It must have cost a lot of manpower and material resources to study such a poison. In addition, Beifeng is a senior spy... In order to kill him, they really spent a lot of money!

Alas! With so much time and manpower to mess around, why not confirm it first?

He asked in a deep voice: "What does this mean?"

Beifeng originally wanted to commit suicide after missing the attack, so as not to expose the secret after being caught. But seeing that Wood didn't make a move immediately, he immediately saw some opportunities-Wood was probably already poisoned and now his combat power was limited. So he could only delay time by talking and wait for reinforcements.

Thinking of this, she didn't answer at all, and rushed out of the bedroom directly, took out her usual crossbow from the secret compartment under the bed, and rushed towards Wood.

Wood did want to delay time a little bit. He was too poisoned. Although he tried to use Dou Qi to temporarily suppress the symptoms of poisoning, the effect was not obvious. Now he really needs more time to let him try to use magic to treat it.

Of course, he estimated that magic would not work. But it doesn't matter. He has prepared weapons and medicines in many places in the house, including antidotes. Although it may not be suitable for the symptoms, it can at least relieve his poisoning.

However, Beifeng is worthy of being his outstanding junior and the new generation of ace spy of the Federation. She also judged the situation at once and took the right response immediately.

Watching Beifeng rushing over with a crossbow, Wood sighed in his heart.

The crossbow was carefully prepared by him. Although it is not big, it is not small in power.

Its only disadvantage is that it can only fire single shots, unlike ordinary small crossbows that can fire continuously, but in terms of power, it is not inferior to the military light crossbow.

The name "light crossbow" does not seem to be powerful at first, but in fact, its power is terrible. Unless it is some strong people who have specially cultivated protective abilities, most adventurers will be killed if they are shot in the torso without wearing armor.

This kind of crossbow is not like a heavy crossbow, which can give the crossbow arrows terrifying penetration, so it often works hard on the crossbow arrows. Special crossbow arrows can make wounds difficult to bandage and treat. Sometimes they are poisoned, and even increase the power of the curse to ensure that they can be fatal in one shot.

Wood's crossbow has poisoned arrows, and the toxin used is extremely powerful, a dangerous and venomous snake venom.

Every three days, he has to maintain this crossbow and replenish the venom of the crossbow arrows. The last maintenance was yesterday. Today, its venom should still be sufficient. As long as the skin is scratched by the crossbow arrow, it is enough to kill an ordinary strong man.

Wood is much stronger than ordinary people. Under normal circumstances, if he is slightly poisoned by this snake venom, it will not be too fatal. But in the current situation, he has been poisoned, and I don’t know if he can survive. If the snake venom is added, he will definitely die!

If he was in good health, he could challenge such a difficult task as dodging crossbow arrows, but he was in poor health now, and Bei Feng's shooting skills were quite good. If Bei Feng attacked, he would basically not be able to dodge it, and basically would not be able to survive.

So, he only had one choice left.

A cold light flashed, and Bei Feng, who was holding up her crossbow to shoot, was shaken. She tried hard to raise the crossbow, but her body fell limply. Blood gushed out from the two wounds on her chest and back, soaking her pajamas in an instant, and spreading on the floor, turning into a large area of ​​crimson.

This was the flying knife thrown by Wood, which shot through her body and destroyed her heart.

One knife killed her.

There is a martial arts novel on Earth. Although the protagonist is extremely miserable, he is a good flyer, and it is said that he never misses. But when he faced a fat man with a fat body, the flying knife once lost its effect.

If it were Wood, this situation would never happen. When his flying knife was used, let alone a fat man without extra protection, even if the fat man was wearing heavy military armor, he would be shot through the heart by his knife.

Bei Feng was neither a master of "horizontal qigong" nor wearing super strong armor. Of course, he would die if he was hit by his knife.

Wood sighed deeply after shooting his wife who had loved him not long ago with a flying knife.

He only had time to sigh, and there was no time for more sighs.

He hurried back to the bedroom, took out a bottle of medicine from another secret compartment under the bed, checked it carefully, opened the bottle cap, and drank it in one gulp.

The potion was light gold and looked very beautiful. And its price was more expensive than such a bottle of gold sand.

This is a high-level antidote potion, and one bottle costs two thousand gold coins!

Generally speaking, even adventurers would not always have such a precious potion. They would rather use a potion that slowed down the onset of poison for about two hundred gold coins, or a potion that neutralized poison for about five hundred gold coins. High-level antidote potions are mostly used by rich people or high-level nobles.

Wood is not a rich man, but he spent most of his income on preparing various things that might be used. A great artist has a very high income. Without considering saving, he can afford this level of things.

After drinking a bottle of potion, he immediately felt that the poison in his body was weakening, and the unbearable pain in his internal organs was slightly relieved.

However, the effect was limited.

This kind of poison specially made by the federal intelligence department is not so easy to deal with!

Wood shook his head and took the other antidotes he prepared one by one. However, the effect of those medicines was far less than this bottle of high-level antidote. After drinking them all, he could still feel pain everywhere in his body, especially in his internal organs.

It seems that the detoxification effect can only be said to be better than nothing.

Wood was not surprised by this result. If the poison was so easily removed, he would be surprised.

Back in the room where the fight just now happened, he looked at Beifeng, who was still holding the crossbow until his death, but could not shoot even one arrow, and sighed deeply.

"Why...why do this?" He shook his head and said sadly, "Why don't you talk to me properly? I really didn't betray the Federation!"

He is a good actor. If necessary, he has a hundred ways to perform "sorrow".

But at this moment, his performance is unusually thin and pale. It seems that the color of his whole person has faded, and what is standing next to Beifeng's body is just a black and white sketch.

After a long silence, Wood took out a special powder and sprinkled it on Beifeng's body.

This powder can effectively remove the smell of blood and avoid being discovered.

Then, he cast a spell to remove the bloody smell in the house.

After doing all this, he wondered what to do next?

Maybe he can go to Grand Archon Felix to surrender himself. With their past friendship, if he surrenders himself, he may be given a lighter sentence.

But this idea just arose and was smothered by him.

Absolutely impossible! He is the ace spy of the Secret Tower Federation. Even if he dies, he must die as this! He will never betray the Federation!

Since he doesn't consider surrendering, he has to run away now.

Beifeng is also a public figure, and her death cannot be covered up for too long.

But... where to escape?

Wood was a little confused.

He remembered the maps of most areas of the main plane, but when he looked back at these maps, he felt that there was no place in the vast world where he could live in peace.

Escape? Where can he escape to?

The Federation will not let him go. When Beifeng's body is found, the Northwest Republic will also understand his true identity, and most likely send people to hunt him down.

He will not be able to escape even if he escapes to the ends of the earth if he is hunted down by the two major powers in the south and north of the main plane. Even if he escapes from the main plane to some other planes, or to the vast starry sky, he may not be able to escape.

What's more, he really can't find a way to leave the main plane for a while.

But he must escape, and escape immediately.

Unless he wants to die, this is the only choice.

Wood is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die either.

He still has many things he wants to do, for example, he wants to open a bookstore in a small town near the Supreme Tower in the federal capital after retirement; for example, he wants to return to his hometown, the famous Cloud Tower City, and eat the most authentic hometown food; for example, he wants to marry an ordinary wife who has nothing to do with politics or espionage, have a few ordinary children, and live a stable life...

The most important thing is that he wants to understand why his superiors can so easily judge that he has betrayed and needs to be eliminated?

This doesn't make sense!

Thinking of this, he regained strength.

Yes, he can't die yet, he still has very important things to do!

Maybe Bei Feng misunderstood the order, or maybe there was something wrong when issuing the task, everything is possible!

If he doesn't rush back to the Federation, doesn't ask his superiors in person, and doesn't hear the other party's answer with his own ears, he will never give up!

So before that, he can't die!

So Wood hurriedly took action. He temporarily froze Bei Feng's body with magic and hid it in the secret room in the basement that was specially used to hide corpses. He also completely sealed the secret room, and then came back to carefully remove the traces of fighting in the house to ensure that nothing could be seen of what had happened here.

When all this was done, almost half of the night had passed.

Fortunately, the nights in the north are longer, otherwise, if it were dawn now, it would be a bit embarrassing!

After making sure that even if someone came in, no one would be able to find Bei Feng's body unless they searched carefully, and it had to be a professional like him, he began to pack up all the valuables in the house and the luggage for the long journey.

Not much, just a small bag.

After everything was packed, he changed into travel clothes, found a wooden board, and wrote "There is an emergency, the couple is temporarily out, the time is undetermined. All work will continue after returning."

When he went out, he hung the wooden board at the door.

I believe this can also delay some time, perhaps three to five days, perhaps ten days, or even longer.

When everything is exposed, he will probably have reached the Supreme Tower.

From here to the Void City, relying on his foot strength, if he does not spare his physical strength, it will only take four or five days. But he is not in a good condition now, and it is impossible for him to run like that, so it will take longer.

After a little consideration, he came to the car dealership near the city gate and bought a carriage.

It was a good carriage, light and sturdy. The draft horse had a little bit of magic beast blood. As long as it was fed some special food every night when it rested, it would be able to pull the carriage for more than ten days.

Of course, he also bought some of that special food, at least enough for this section of the journey.

As for the passengers' own drinking water, of course the carriage company also sold it, so he bought it.

Pretending that his wife was still in the carriage, he drove the carriage out of the city gate and drove towards the Void City in the night.

At this time, he couldn't help but thank Asna, the governor of Pyroxene City. It was she who decided not to close the city gate at night against all odds. Otherwise, he would have to wait at the city gate until dawn.

In that case, the fact that Beifeng was not in the carriage might be exposed.

Now he drove the carriage all the way, although it was a bit hard, but at least it was enough to cover up the secret.

The night was very dark. Even with the ability to see through the night, Wood felt that the surroundings were gloomy.

Perhaps... it was not the surrounding scenery that was gloomy, but his heart.

Above Wood's head, Sui Xiong remained silent and looked at him with pity.

Bei Feng's soul was intercepted by Sui Xiong, and he had completely understood the cause and effect of the matter. He was not optimistic about the result of Wood's trip.

He would follow Wood until the matter was completely over.

Only then would he need to come forward.
