Mystery: Order and Disorder

Jim, who didn't know what to do, watched Grelint messing around alone, and he was anxiously circling around him.

It's a pity that it turned into a "weight of knowledge" the size of a full-length mirror, and its thickness was two or three times the height of other people's standing, which made it impossible for him to "steal" this Sealed Artifact and attract Grelint's attention.

Then he simply jumped over to Grelint's shoulder to watch him operate.

"Have you found anything? Jim."

Putting away "The Weight of Knowledge", Grelint held Jim in the palm of his hand, and habitually squeezed the back of his neck...

Jim shook the long beard on either side of his mouth:

"It makes me particularly want to steal it."

…

…

Maybe this can prove that it is more valuable?

————————————

After a night's rest, Grelint and Joan bid farewell to Weiz, and under the leadership of the Extraordinary Fitch, set foot on the road south to Verteque.

Feige is a Medium Sequence Beyonder, Sequence Six. However, Grelint did not know the Beyonder path he was in, and could only confirm that he was not the "arbiter" or the "lawyer" path.

He is a short man in his fifties, with simple features and a high hairline.

He has the rank of "Lieutenant Colonel", but instead of wearing a military uniform, he wears clothes with the characteristics of the Southern Continent.

According to his own words, his father immigrated to the Southern Continent before he was born, so he is considered a native of the Southern Continent.

On the west side of the ancient deep forest is the Perth Valley.

On March 5th, the three of them, together with the driver, rode in a special bullock cart from the Southern Continent and drove to Verteque along the edge of the Pass River Valley.

Although it is said to be a "special bullock cart", its speed is only about 1/5 of that of a steam train. At this rate, it would take them about eleven or twelve days to reach Vertec.

At such a speed, if something unexpected happened in Vertec, it was too late to send a telegram to notify. Basically, by the time the first-level branch received the news, the entire city might have been captured.

"So the Vertec branch has a special sealed item."

Fitch explained:

"That's a Level 2 Sealed Artifact, its serial number is 2-07, and its name is 'Guiding Lantern'."

"A Beyonder with a 'guide lantern' can use the spirit world to travel."

"This can ensure that at least one Beyonder survives and communicate the latest situation to the headquarters."

Many MI9 members of the Southern Continent often refer to the "Tetnik Division I" as the "headquarters", while the other three "Second Divisions" are simply called "subsidiaries".

Pass through the spirit world?

Which poor "traveler" was this made into a magical item?

Hearing Fitch's description, Grelint immediately guessed that "Guiding Lantern" was made with the Beyonder characteristics of "Traveler".

Presumably this lantern cannot carry others through the spiritual world, otherwise the headquarters will send a telegram and directly ask the captain to pick them up, which will be much faster.

"That's right, Mr. Fitch."

"Can you tell us some information about the Vertec branch?"

"I hope to know a little bit in advance, so we might be able to integrate into it sooner when we arrive."

Anyway, this journey was boring, so Grelint simply asked Fitch to tell us more about Vertec.

For this reason, he also specially spent 18 soules to buy 10 sticks of better quality dry tobacco for Fitch.

The soft-mouthed Fitch wiped the sweat from his face, nodded and said:

"it is my responsibility."

Unfortunately, he is not a very good narrator, and the information given is quite messy and disordered.

Through Fitch's narration, Grelint learned that the city of Vertec existed as early as the Fourth Epoch, when the Southern Continent was still ruled by the Balam Empire established by the **** of death.

After the death of the **** of death, Vertec later belonged to the kingdom of Perth.

About two hundred years ago, after the kingdom of Perth was destroyed by Loen and Intis, Vertec in East Balam became one of Loen's four colonial cities.

At present, the main personnel of Verteque are North Road immigrants and their descendants, as well as some indigenous and mixed-race children.

The army of this city is composed of Loen soldiers and servants, which is actually quite large.

Under the repression of these military forces, the rebels launched in various small cities and villages did not actually have strong anti-pit forces.

However, to the west of Vertec, there are the indigenous forces that Loen yearns to conquer, and to the east there are the unfriendly Feysac colonial forces. After some of the forces were drawn from the two fronts, there were actually not many troops stationed in Vertec.

Sometimes it is inevitable to be understaffed.

As for the extraordinary power of the Vertek branch, Fitch spoke clearly and clearly.

"Because in other small cities and towns, we have not established lower-level branches."

"So we actually have more personnel in the Vertec branch. It is for this reason that this time the West Balam natives attacked Vertec, which caused us considerable losses."

He tore up some dry tobacco, twisted it and put it in the pipe, but it didn't light it.

"The resident Beyonder power of the Vertec branch consists of two middle-rank Beyonders, and five to eight low-rank Beyonders."

From the previous conversation, Grelint knew that most of the people here were classified as low-sequence from 9 to 7 according to the ancient grading standards.

Considering that Vertek should not have Sequence Five, then the "middle sequence" in Fitch's mouth should be Sequence Six.

Such a configuration is indeed relatively high for MI9, which does not focus on combat.

"Before those damned natives attacked, Vertec had two captains and vice-captains, and six ordinary members."

"After this battle, Sequence Six's vice-captain Kevin died directly. He was a powerful 'judge'. In addition, four ordinary members were also killed."

"The Beyonders left behind are Captain Morgan and two ordinary players. The two of them, one is the young guy Mick, and the other is Ms. Athena."

"Colonel Morgan is a senior 'Corrupted Baron', only he defeated the raiding enemy with his powerful strength and several second-level sealed artifacts from the branch, and protected the same path but a sequence lower than him Lady Athena."

Speaking of which, he laughed and said:

"I heard that Colonel Morgan was secretly pursuing Ms. Athena."

"After this raid, they were obviously more intimate, and they seem to have come together."

"I met Morgan a few times before, and he was a very selfish man."

"But I have to say that in front of love, he is a real man. In order to protect Ms. Athena, he even cut off his right arm."

"Perhaps this is the price for him to impress Ms. Athena."

After talking about the gossip, he didn't care too much and said:

"As for Mick, that's a young man blessed by the **** of luck."

"He is the child of an immigrant couple from Intis, and has just joined the MI9 branch of Verteke for half a year. When the raid happened, he happened to be very lucky to go to the small town of York outside the city to execute a Simple task gone."

"Although he is from Intis, his parents both sacrificed for the kingdom's colonial cause, so after Colonel Morgan reported to His Excellency Calvin, His Excellency agreed to include him exceptionally."

"By the way, his Beyonder pathway is the 'diver'."

Diviner!

Speaking of which, it was the first time that Grelint met a living Beyonder of this sequence in reality, the sequence where Klein, the protagonist of the original book, was located.
