Chapter 546 A corner of the puzzle (4k)(1/2)
"Although it has become a certain fact to share the secret realm with them, it does not mean that I cannot do other small moves."
The masked man picked up a chair, sat in front of Isaac, and said with a smile.
"Do you know why I keep carrying it?"
The masked man raised his hand, pointed to the mask on his face, and asked a question.
"have no idea."
Isaac shook his head and expressed his ignorance very clearly.
It is impossible to say that he is not curious about the mask on the other person's face. However, at first, the two were not familiar with each other, and even if they were curious, they could only bury themselves in their hearts and carefully collect information. Later, although the two formed deep feelings between life and death, it was because of this that he was unwilling to spy on the secrets of others to avoid creating estrangements.
So although the two have been together for a long time and are very close, he does not know the truth about the other side.
However, according to his observation and speculation, this should be a golden-level magic tool.
Moreover, it should have [fraud] or similar [ability].
However, all this was just flowing through his heart and not revealed at all.
Since the masked man already has the intention of opening his mouth, he is still willing to listen to the other party's explanation quietly, rather than show off without any mercy.
"I believe you don't know the specific situation, but I also know that you can't be clear at all."
"But it's okay. No matter how much you know, I'll have a good chat for you today."
The masked man said a lot of words and then smiled at Isaac.
"This mask is a spoil I got at a great price in my early years."
"And its value has not disappointed the efforts I have put in."
"【The Fake Mask】, the golden-level magic tool, the most precious and rarest ornamental magic tool."
"Its value, even now, is enough to make the golden-level strong man moved. Even when he meets a guy with a very high profile, the other party may even have a rash intention to kill, just to get this thing."
"So, what is its function?" Isaac interrupted the masked man's recollection of the past and the excessively long preparation, and asked extremely directly.
“【Fraud】.”
The masked man was interrupted and seemed to have lost some interest, but he did not lose his temper with Isaac. He just sighed slightly and replied listlessly.
"No wonder!"
Isaac nodded, revealing a look of pride.
The moment he got this answer, he couldn't help but understand that the reason why they were able to escape from the encirclement of Gria City was really due to some of the magic tools.
After all, you have to know that at the last and most dangerous time when they left, both of them were basically exhausted and had no ammunition and food.
If it weren't for the last moment that the masked man decisively deceived the executive officers surrounding them and made them attracted by the fake [key] thrown out by the masked man, they might not have been able to run out!
Of course, even though it is not a good thing to run out.
He squandered such a lot of strength and offended the empire, but in the end he was defeated by the pale council behind the Yellow Bird. No one would be happy.
This is also why the two of them are still unwilling to accept it.
Of course, this means that the two of them still have the confidence to resist, otherwise they would only be the masters of the times.
"How much can you do, what needs do, and what price do you need to pay?"
After a few breaths of silence, Isaac decisively asked three questions, one-on-one and pointing straight to the core.
“It depends on what our purpose is.”
Seeing Isaac enter the state, the masked man no longer laughed as he had before, but became serious.
"If you want me to change the contract, then even if my mask helps me, I will only be killed by the Devil Lord who guarantees the contract to serve as the arbitrator, and there will be no scum left."
"But if it is just not to change the overall framework of the existing contract, but to take action on some small aspects, then it is still possible."
“As for the price?”
"I have paid part of it in advance, and the rest is just some lifespan."
The masked man's voice was extremely dull, but Isaac heard some other meanings.
It is like a pond that is thousands of feet deep, and it seems that there is no wave on the flat surface, but there is an undercurrent underneath it.
Isaac looked up and looked at the mask that had never been taken off before. It seemed to be embedded in flesh and connected to the bones, as if it had become a new face mask, and seemed to understand something.
He didn't say much, but just continued to discuss the plan.
"I roughly understand what you mean, so we will discuss these two issues later."
"When we discuss the relevant regulations that need to be revised, we will deduce them."
"Then, the final question is, what do you need?"
Isaac asked again, and spoke to the masked man again, asking questions that the other party had not answered before.
"I need the original contract and hold it in my hand for at least half an hour."
The masked man fixed his eyes, looked straight into Isaac's eyes, and spoke very seriously.
"You really want to make trouble for me!"
He raised his head and held his forehead, and Isaac looked helpless.
...
In the imperial capital, Tropp Greene was in an inconspicuous small house, constantly dealing with the information and documents reported from all directions, carefully screening, identifying, analyzing, and then issuing orders based on this.
This working state has been going on for a long time.
Even though he had several extraordinary people who specialized in intelligence analysis, Tropp still felt sincerely tired.
After all, although he is a strong man of the silver level, he can operate with both cores with one mind and two minds, but the information is absorbed and processed too quickly, which still makes the strong spirit accumulate a lot of fatigue.
There is no way, the task Caesar gave him was kept confidential.
Under such circumstances, he was almost supported by a lonely wood in the executive headquarters, and it was impossible for him to seek help from the rest of the people.
Even for the sake of confidentiality, it is unlikely that he will mobilize the resources of the executive department.
Otherwise, the plan might have been exposed completely just now.
In fact, the most critical issue is not that the power that Tropp can mobilize is too weak. To be honest, the power in Tropp is indeed a bit overestimated compared to the entire executive department, but if it is only compared with the executive department headquarters, it is definitely not weak at all.
But because the entire operation needs to be kept confidential, they can't get the support of the empire's resources, and they still need to be wary of the investigations of major departments within the empire.
This is the most critical issue!
"Captain, there is something strange here."
Suddenly, a sound suddenly appeared in the room that was as quiet as if a needle could be heard.
The guy who spoke was a young man in his twenties. Just looking at his appearance, he was at the age of youth and vitality.
However, the perseverance and calm temperament in his eyes have shown that he is not the kind of impulsive young man with passion.
But now this always calm man sent a prompt in an uncertain hesitant tone.
"Send it here and take a look."
Tropp did not feel any anger at the other party's tone, but instead spoke curiously.
After all, he knew very well that these subordinates he brought out, and knew that they could not speak nonsense or exaggerate.
Therefore, what the other party sees must be enough strange.
"OK."
The young man responded, then directly contacted the confidential enhanced magic energy information processing base in front of him and sent the strange message he saw.
"Huh, this is it?"
The moment Tropp saw this message, he couldn't help but sigh in surprise.
Such a reaction made others curious about this news.
You know, since they followed Tropp, the impression that the other party has given them is an extremely calm image, and there are few times when they break their skills.
So they really want to know what kind of situation will make their boss show such an expression.
"You guys can take a look, too."
It seemed that he saw the expression on his lower back, Tropp didn't say much, but just took a random stroke and projected the information into the air for everyone to watch.
[On the morning of March 3, 874, a landslide occurred in the Hongshi Town, Northland. During the rescue, the town government discovered that there were building soil and stones in the mountain, which were hard texture and delicate in shape, which was not similar to the local area.
Added: On the afternoon of March 3, the public survey completed and determined that there was no such building materials for hundreds of miles around the town. The people of Hongshi Town also clearly stated that there were no traces of these buildings in history.]
"You've finished reading it, tell me what you think."
Tropp said with a smile as he looked at his subordinate who was either lowering his head to ponder, smiling, or frowning.
He was very relaxed, not because he encountered a difficult situation.
"Maybe someone has lived there once."
Suddenly, someone spoke.
