Cthulhu Gonfalon

Similar to the earth, the countries of the world also attach great importance to intelligence work.

For example, the Kingdom of the Eagles and the Principality of the Griffin have a group of scouts called the Eye of the Sky. They are driving World of Warcraft that can fly at high altitudes, using magic to hide their own figure and breath, hiding in the gaps of the clouds, and spying on other countries.

For example, the Secret Tower Federation has a huge magic pool, and countless mages temporarily store their magical powers for later use when needed. The federal government uses the magical power of this magic pool to display some very high-level spells, which gives us some hidden information that is absolutely impossible to obtain through normal channels.

As for the gold coin federation, it uses the practice of wide-spreading nets, collecting intelligence from all the merchant hawkers, and then a group of savvy and powerful intelligence officers fight the mountain of intelligence every day, sorting out from countless pieces of words. The things you want come.

The time of the founding of the Northwestern Republic is very short, and the intelligence department has limited staff and insufficient resources. So they have to have a shortage of quality and lack of manpower? Then let go of the simple things and concentrate the limited people in important things.

For example, Wood’s intelligence, taking it away from the spies, and then returning it, is the deputy director of the Creto, the investigation and hunting office of the Agriculture and Hunting Resources of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Northwestern Republic. The deputy director of Cleto was very disgusted with this job outside of the job, but some of his fears were stunned by his wife's eyes, and he reluctantly muttered "this is to pay overtime".

The legendary strong man, when he was only in the middle of the strength, he was able to turn a character of the Marquis and the elopement. The little thing of stealing the chicken and touching the dog was really hand-to-hand. Except for his own dissatisfaction, the whole thing was done beautifully and was not noticed at all.

About two months after Wood sent a message, officials of the Federal Intelligence Agency of the Fata Tower received his intelligence.

For intelligence work, an intelligence actually takes two months to deliver, and the speed is simply too slow. In this field, magic communication is used in most cases, and although it is costly and inefficient, it is faster.

Fast, this is enough.

Because the pursuit of intelligence is nothing more than "accurate", "hidden" and "fast". The first two points are often encountered and cannot be obtained. Even if the best intelligence personnel are sent, the cost of spending a lot of money may not be possible. The last point, as long as you spend money.

Other countries may have to worry about how to find a group of middle and high-level mages who are willing to work for themselves, but what is the secret of the Federation? It is the magical holy place of the whole main plane! Is there still a shortage of mages here?

Since there are enough people, the rest is just a question of money. For a big country, is money still a problem?

Therefore, the intelligence work of the Federation of the Fafa Tower has always been the best, not to mention the main plane, even if it happens in other planes, as long as it has a close relationship with the Union of the Fafa, it will be within a day or two after the news is transmitted. Was sent to intelligence agencies for collation and research.

However, there are so many money in the Federation of the French Federation, and you can’t just arbitrarily spend it. Only those important information that is truly valuable can enjoy the treatment of “don’t care about money” before it can be transmitted by magic and returned in the first time. federal.

Wood's intelligence was also able to enjoy this treatment at first, especially his defensive map about the town of Pyroxene, which made his superiors very satisfied and praised him.

But the good times are not long. As time goes by, valuable information is getting less and less, and Wood's intelligence treatment is getting lower and lower. Now, the information he sent has been marked as the "least urgent" level, using a communication channel consistent with civilian information, nothing more than a secret.

These things, Wood did not know. He only knows that the country needs him to lurk in the belly of other countries, constantly collecting all kinds of information and sending it back. If necessary, maybe he has to lurk for a lifetime; if he wants it, maybe he will pull the sword tomorrow... In short, he is a small pin small nail on the huge country machine of the Federation of the French Federation - no, far from So important, he is probably only a soil in the farmland, or a glass of water in the pond, nothing more.

But even if he had a soil or a glass of water, he was very serious in fulfilling his duties and did not dare to slack off.

Unfortunately, his superiors do not think so.

"It's such a worthless intelligence... Wood, this kid seems to have had other thoughts." It took about half a minute to finish reading his intelligence - this time is even shorter than that used by Ferex. The intelligence director of the Federation of the Fafa Tower frowned, tapping the table with his fingers and thinking about what to do.

After a while, he made up his mind and asked the commander to issue an order.

No more than three minutes, a very ordinary look, walking on the street as if a drop of water into the sea, the middle-aged man came in.

"The spy on the number ninety-seven has something wrong." The intelligence chief said, "Ready to start the replacement plan."

When the middle-aged man recalled a little, he remembered the identity and responsible work of the 97th. He frowned and said: "He has already taken root in the Northwestern Republic. In the future, there is hope to merge into the upper class. Now replace it, some unfortunately."

The intelligence chief shook his head: "His mind has changed. In the past three years, no valuable information has been sent back."

"Maybe just because he is cautious enough?" The middle-aged man said, "He was able to completely abolish his own strength to reach a high level in order to lurk. Such people will change their minds? It is unlikely."

"The words are like this, but the fact is that he has changed his mind." The intelligence director did not waver his hand to explain the details of the other party. "Go ahead, we must ensure that intelligence point."

The middle-aged man sighed and sighed and turned and went out.

The military's vocation is to obey orders, even if he does not approve of this order, it is ridiculous, it is the same.

He has already submitted his opinion, but he has been rejected, and there is no way.

After returning to his room, he was silent for a while before he said to the adjutant: "Is there a female detective with a certain artistic literacy recently? The kind that can perform long-term tasks is not too big or too young."

The adjutant thought for a while and listed several names.

"Take them special training on the knowledge of carving. In addition, transfer the detailed information of the No. 97 spy." The middle-aged man said, "After training, choose the one with the most stable performance and arrange for her to act as the ninety-seventh. The wife of the number, sent her to the city of Kaohsi."

The adjutant nodded and wrote down the matter, and asked casually: "Do you need to expedite?"

"No." The middle-aged man thought about it, and there was a trace of color in his eyes. "Training should be detailed, proper, and must not go wrong. This spy is to take over the 97th, and the training standard must be high."

The adjutant suddenly understood what he meant, smiled and nodded.

After the adjutant left, the middle-aged man thought for a moment, shook his head and frowned.

"How is it possible!" he muttered. "It’s totally unreasonable..."

At this time, in the office of the intelligence supervisor, there was another magician who was covered in a black robe.

"I have a problem with someone here." The intelligence director said with no emotion. "I am going to send someone to take over. You are going to prepare. When I am, I want him to die like a drunk." The look of the rush, no matter who can't check the problem."

The magician in the black robe did not speak, but nodded silently.

"It's a pity... I knew that he was not reliable, but it was better to bring the witches. Maybe a witch can be trained..." The intelligence director said with some regret that he immediately talked about another topic, "How many witches are there? can use?"

"Six." The black robe magician replied, his voice was old and hoarse, and he was weak.

"Too little!"

"The witch is very troublesome to train, but it is very fast."

"Yeah...because it's very easy to use." The intelligence director smiled a little, but there was nothing in the smile, "encourage the training."

“The materials needed to train the witch are very difficult to obtain and require authorization.”

The intelligence director sneered: "How many times it is useless, I can't give you this authorization. Want materials? You can find a way! I won't give you any promise. On the contrary, if something goes wrong, I won't admit anything. thing."

"When I don't know you guys like these sorcerers? It's nothing more than changing the pattern and wanting me to take responsibility for you. Tell you, don't even think about it!" The intelligence supervisor's face became cold and cold, "That out The person in question, regardless of his qualifications or strength, is much stronger than you, but I can replace him whenever I need it. You are the same."

The magician in the black robe did not speak again.

"Get ready, I will inform you when you need to do something." The intelligence supervisor waved his hand like a fly. "Don't try to temper or fight for anything. It can give you benefits. I will give it. I don't." If you give it, you can't give it. You are a soldier now, not a businessman. Don't play bargain with me - this is the last reminder, understand?"

The magician in the black robe was silent, bowed his head and turned away.

After waiting for the other party, the intelligence supervisor tapped his finger on the table and sank.

This time he is thinking about other issues. As for the spy named "Wood"... a useless spy is no longer worth a waste of even a second to think.

Wood didn't know at all that his fate was decided by several conversations in the office thousands of miles away.
