Cthulhu Gonfalon

After the marriage, Wood's life has changed.

Now he no longer spends seven or eight hours a day or more working in the workshop to do sculpting work, but he is busy at home every morning, or walks with his wife, goes to the workshop to work in the afternoon, and then goes home early in the evening. . The neighbors near the workshop could no longer see the lights that always lit up in the workshop at night, but they saw that Wood’s face was getting more and more radiant, and his smile was a lot brighter. There was no such thing as a rejection of thousands of miles. feel.

Everyone is very happy about this.

Even the north wind is no exception.

Of course, the reason she is happy is different from others.

Others are happy because Wood has more spirits. She is happy because Wood is showing flaws.

When he first met, Wood was a cautious person. Even if he faced a companion from the motherland, he was cautious and did not reveal a slight flaw. But after getting married, he is obviously much more relaxed. The flaws in his usual life can be seen everywhere. It can be said that it is two people.

If the north wind wants to kill him, he has already been a dead person.

But the north wind does not want to kill him so quickly, she is now strange here, at least to borrow the relationship of Wood, to take root in the city of Kaohsiishi.

When she is fully familiar with the situation of the city of Hui Shi, that is, the death of the traitor!

However, as the days passed, she was somewhat confused.

Wood’s performance is really not like a person who has a tendency to betray.

Do not say anything else, if he is really betrayed, why do you still live a stable husband and wife life with her, there is no hidden meaning?

Isn't he afraid that the secret he has betrayed is perceived?

He is so small to look at himself?

The north wind is a little bit faint.

Being underestimated is actually a good thing for spies. When the enemy looks down on you, it is easy to reveal flaws, and it is easy to make mistakes at critical times. So the spies are the masters of playing pigs and eating tigers, and each one is good at hiding strength.

But... being looked down on by the "companion" makes people unhappy.

Especially Wood!

When the north wind became a spy, I heard about Wood's story. He once played a court bard, inciting the contradictions among the Thunder Kings, successfully elicited a small-scale rebellion, sent the most talented son of Thunder to the hell, and lifted the potential threat.

He also sneaked thousands of miles in isolation, and followed the entire Taikoo forest with the pursuit of the soldiers, sending an important piece of information from the country of Qianquan. To this end, he was seriously injured and almost sent his life. Even the pastor was very surprised and praised his spirit beyond the flesh. Otherwise, he must have died on the road.

He is a figure worshiped by younger generation spies, and the north wind is no exception.

So when the north wind was rigorously trained and repeatedly screened, she was selected as the executor of the mission, and she was shocked when she learned about her task before departure.

how is this possible!

Why is Wood actually betrayed? This is impossible!

After calming down, she turned to think about it, and some secretly rejoiced.

If Wood is really betrayed, as a younger who once worshipped him, he can personally perform punishment for him, which is a rare glory.

Although... she doesn't want this glory at all.

When she arrived at the city of Phosphorus, she actually saw Wood, but found that the former ace spy seemed to be weaker.

It is not that his strength is weak, his strength is not weak at all, even on the next day he marries her, he has stepped into the high-level level, becoming a person who can look up and have a head and face even if he enters the palace of the king. .

The "weakness" felt by the north wind is that Wood's ability as a spy has weakened.

He still has the ability to gather intelligence, but his sensitivity to intelligence has decreased, his alertness to danger has diminished, and he has become more like a spy than a real artist.

These changes were made after he got married. Although it is only some signs, for the observation of the keen north wind, what these signs indicate is completely a fact.

This kind of Wood is not the one that the north wind imagined.

She thought she would fight with each other, perhaps to fight to destroy the other side; she also imagined that her mission was easily exposed, and then killed without any effort; she also imagined that Wood did not actually Betrayal, everything is just a misunderstanding... This last imagination is the most.

Unfortunately, all imagination is wrong.

Wood really betrayed, and then, he became weaker and weaker, and there was no such thing as a ace and spy.

Seeing him like this, the north wind is both happy and angry.

It’s natural to be happy because the task is easy to accomplish, but it’s because you’ve seen your idol’s self-deprecation.

Who is Wood? It is the most outstanding spy in the Confederate Federation, and the idol of these younger spies!

How can he become so weak! How can he lose the keenness and vigilance that a spy should have!

Being looked down by him like this makes her mad at me and wants to growl.

There is no reason for this! She, an excellent spy who is always keen and vigilant, will be looked down upon by a waste that is becoming more and more careless and increasingly dull and less alert!

hateful! It’s too damn!

But the north wind can't be attacked, and even a little indication can't be revealed.

Wood is indeed weak, but it does not mean that he really became a waste. On the contrary, he may rekindle at any time and become keen as a cat, a fox, and a fierce wolf.

In any case, his strength is here, his past brilliant achievements are here.

People who dare to look down on him are not having problems with their eyes, they are having problems with their brains!

The north wind eyes are normal and the brain is normal, so she is absolutely afraid to reveal a trace of suspiciousness, and she is honestly playing the image of a "small generation sent to assist Wood."

If Wood is not betrayed, this is what she is going to do.

So she did a good job, and there was no problem at all.

About half a month later, the north wind began to educate according to the original plan.

She rented the room first, and sorted it out. At Wood’s suggestion, all the sharp woods in the house were rounded, and those that might hit the children were covered with a soft cloth to ensure Safety.

Then, in the same way as a professional studio, she made a much larger painting classroom and purchased a large number of simple painting materials.

When everything was ready, she began propaganda and invited the families of the Kaohsiung City to send the children to study painting.

In this regard, the residents of the city of Hui Shicheng were initially confused and worried.

Painting this thing is really too high. The residents of the city of Hui Shicheng are basically not many of them. For them, "painting" is a little too far away from them.

But no parent in the world does not want his child to learn useful skills. Without the parents who do not want their children to be positive, even if they can't enter the upper class, they can learn the skills of the upper class!

So when they learned that the cost of studying painting in Beifeng was not high, they dispelled their worries and rushed to send their children to study.

Anyway, that is the lady of Mr. Wood, the great artist. Even if it is not as good as Mr. Wood, at least it is an artist!

My child can get the teaching of an artist. How is this face, what a glorious thing!

If you can go further and learn some real skills and become an artist in the future, then it is even better!

The north wind did not expect that there were so many families signing up, and at one time some of them were in a hurry. Fortunately, Wood had money, and immediately asked for money to recruit a lot of helpers, to avoid her mistakes in the busy, to find out what leaks.

"I didn't expect it!" After the busy start of the school year, Beifeng said with some emotions, "People in the city of Kaohsiung are so keen on letting children learn to paint! Although my tuition is not high, it is not low!" Two gold coins a year, which is equivalent to the money that a farmer can save for a whole year!"

"There are not many gold coins." Wood said, "How have you been exposed to the prices of the city of Huizhou and the Northwestern Republic during this time?"

"The things here are slightly more expensive." Beifeng said, "Two copper coins can buy a chicken in the small town of the Federation. It is almost three copper coins to the tower of the highest, but four in the city of Kaohsiishi. If you have a Void City, do you need five?"

"It's almost. It's very remote. Most of the supplies have to be shipped in abundance. For example, chickens and ducks can be raised on their own, or relatively cheap." Wood smiled and said, "But the income of people here." It is also high. With the Void City as the core, the income of the residents of the Northwest Republic is much higher than other places. For the people here, the two gold coins are nothing more than the whole family going out to see the toll of the Nether City. If you want to eat something special over there and play something interesting, you have to spend more money."

“Hui Shicheng is the second bustling area in the Northwest Republic. Every family here can easily take out hundreds of gold coins. Households with medium or above income can even make such a sum of money in two or three years. So come to them. It is said that it is not an unacceptably high price to spend two gold coins a year to let children learn to paint."

The north wind was silent for a while and sighed softly.

These days, she has been working hard to collect information, and she feels that she has enough understanding of the city of Phosphorus – regardless of the urban pattern, the residence of the big men, the rules of the city guards’ shifts, and the route of the city’s guards, she has already Almost clear.

But now she knows that there are still a lot of things that she needs to know. For Fuhuacheng, for the Northwestern Republic, it is actually just a layman!

Wood is one of the best spies in the Federal Republic of France in recent decades. Even though he has become slow and unconscious, his accumulated knowledge, his understanding of the Northwest Republic over the years is still an amazing asset.

If he can get him back to the federation, this wealth will be federated...

She thought so, but immediately warned that she could not think about it.

In the face of such a strong person like Wood, I have a little worry about my life, and it is good to be able to successfully kill him to complete the task. Don't think more!

However, she couldn't help but think of it.

A few days later, she finally couldn’t help but tempted to ask Wood if she had a plan to return to the Fata Federation.

Wood heard his eyes wide open and his face was full of surprises. He asked loudly: "Is it really ok?"

"Probably it's okay...Now we have two people here. Someone is temporarily away for a while, as long as it is not too long, it should be fine."

Wood jumped up happily: "Great! I will sort out my luggage! I will leave tomorrow morning!"

"...you don't think about it anymore?" The north wind frowned and couldn't help but ask, "I have a decision in a hurry, not good."

"What's the 'hurry' of this?" Wood said with a smile. "I want to go home and I have been thinking for a long time! You just got here, don't understand my mood! For a long-term latent person. Homesickness is like a poisonous, deep into the bone marrow, so you can't help but think of the grass and trees in your hometown... For a while, I dreamed of dreaming the tower of the supreme, dreaming of its majestic main city gate, dream To the towering tower, dreaming of the southern-style snack bars in the living area under the tower, dreaming of magical apprentices who have no identity and entangled with a silver coin for a long time...not afraid of your jokes, I Even miss every tree there, even every weed!"

"Remember that when I first set off, my superior told me that this latent work may take a long time. I only thought that it would last for two or three years. Who knows three years and three years, three years and three years, three years and three years. It’s been a decade since I’ve been in a blink of an eye.” He sighed in the sky and his voice was full of sorrows. “Ten years! Life can be a few dozen years!”

(Is this the reason for your betrayal?)

The north wind did not say anything, but secretly spit in the heart.

"I also said in the report that I have been away for too long, and I have been lurking for too long here. I suggest that I change my personal, but they have all been rejected." Wood sighed and said, "You know. Is it sometimes that I even worry, is the superior already forgotten me?"

“Sometimes I even raise the ridiculous idea, guessing if they will simply destroy my file, so that I can be honestly a woodcarving artist in the Northwest Republic?”

Wood sat down and smiled and shook his head: "When I got the idea, I was really scared. I almost left everything and ran back to ask."

"You really think too much." Beifeng said.

"Yeah, I think too much. The family didn't forget me at all - just about my thoughts and superiors, so I was dealt with coldly." Wood smiled a little vicissitudes. "But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I don't care about the merits of meritorious service. I have made enough credits. I just want to live home and be able to support my family at home."

His face glowed and his eyes lit up: "I wonder, when I am old, I will buy a house in a small town near the Tower of the High, make a small bookstore, sell some travel notes and the like. Books. I sit between the bookshelves every day, watching the young people walking around the bookshelf and introducing them to my books—oh, and of course my carvings.”

The north wind looked at his eager look, but he couldn't help but sneer.

This feeling may be true, but for a spy who has betrayed, these are nothing but illusions.

(This guy still wants to go back to the federation, be a double-sided spy? Hehe... don't dream!)

She lowered her head and used a smile at the corner of her mouth to cover up the flash of cold in her eyes.
