The female spy, whose code name was “North Wind,” dressed in simple clothes and stepped out of the portal.

Her dress was deliberately chosen; it not only reflected her own cultural accomplishments but also subtly gave others a sense of alienation, minimizing unnecessary negotiations and contact with others.

Of course, this was to avoid overlapping with others until contacting Wood.

North Wind was not very familiar with Wood’s current situation. She only knew that his code name was “ninety-seven” and he was one of the best spies in the Federation who had made great contributions. But she did not know why such an excellent spy might have been suspected of mutiny.

Yes. Wood was suspected of mutiny. This was what the Intelligence Agency of the Mifata Federation judged about him.

North Wind was ordered to go to Pyroxene Town and live with Wood as his wife. Then she had to kill Wood at a proper time and take over his Intelligence Station that had been stagnated by his rebellion. Then she would resume its normal operation.

This task was not easy to accomplish. Wood was an excellent spy whose qualifications and strength were far above North Wind. Although he had become weak because his strength was absorbed by the devil girl, he had completely recovered after eating the precious panacea. Now, he had probably become a high-level paladin with the powers of a magician.

North Wind was a spy whose clergy was knowledge and culture. Although she knew some fighting skills, she was definitely not a good fighter. Faced with a high-level paladin, she may die in a few seconds if a violent conflict broke out between them. She had to be very careful and choose a proper time to finish the task of killing the traitor, Wood.

However, killing Wood was just the first step of her task. Next, she had to take over Wood’s Intelligence Station and resume its normal operation.

A widow of a great artist was definitely not the right image for her to show up in all day long in the public eye. Even if she did not care about her reputation and wanted to be a degenerate widow, it was impossible for her to seduce many people.

According to North Wind’s plan, she intended to act as a painter who enthusiastically supported young artists. When she went out for her investigation, she could explain herself by saying, “I’m collecting folk songs” or, “I’m choosing beautiful scenery.” When she met with other spies, she could hold art salons as a cover. As long as she subsidized several well-known artists, she would be able to make more friends from the upper class and build up her interpersonal circles.

It was also one of the most common methods used by spies. Ordinarily, Wood, who was a great artist should do the same. However, Wood was totally different. He spent most of his time either working or wandering around the streets, looking for inspiration. How could he build a truly effective information collection system? How could it be possible for him to effectively gather important information?

As a senior high-level spy, such a mistake should never be made! Wood should not have made such a stupid mistake. Who would believe that he wasn’t a traitor?

North Wind felt a little uneasy sitting on the bus to Pyroxene Town.

If Wood really betrayed them, she would be killed by him after arriving at his door. It was just like a rabbit knocking at a fox’s door and asking, “Hey, Mr. Fox, are you hungry?”

Only when Wood had not completely rebelled could she live to finish the task. In that case, Wood was likely to be provoked and immediately determined to rebel. Then she would also be killed by Wood.

Generally speaking, her chances of success were not very high, and her chances of death were more than ninety percent.

But North Wind was not afraid.

As a spy of the Mifata Federation, she had already put her life and death aside. She only worried that she would not be able to finish the task.

However, worry could not solve the problem. She slowly calmed down and reorganized her action plan on the way to Pyroxene Town.

The bus drove slowly and steadily. This was not only due to the ability of the driver but because the road was very smooth. Although the cities and population of the Northwest Republic were not very large, it seemed a little prosperous from those infrastructures.

Of course, the Northwest Republic was not comparable to the Mifata Federation.

Among all countries, the road construction of the Mifata Federation was unique, far more developed than other countries.

Only when they had a large caster team could they use their precious magic powers to build and maintain roads. They had also completed the world’s unparalleled main road system.

In the Mifata Federation, every city had a main road connecting it to other cities. Those main roads were built of stones and were smoothed by spells. Of course, it was impossible for those roads to be as smooth as mirrors, but they were smoother than most streets of other capitals in the world. People who drove the carriages would not feel a single bump when driving on those main roads.

Those roads had greatly reduced the pressure of pulling horses and had improved the efficiency of transportation. Businessmen in Mifata Federation often did business on a large scale, which further promoted the prosperity of the country.

Of course, the Northwest Republic could not possibly have the conditions of the Mifata Federation, but the roads between its towns were well-built. The compact Rammed Soil Pavement was paved with gravel; then specially-made mortar was poured between the gravel. Finally, a layer of soil was rammed upward. Generally speaking, the pavement was built into a slightly arched central shape, and that could effectively drain the water and avoid the pavement being soaked and starting to deteriorate. action

However, in North Wind’s view, this was meaningless.

How many times could it rain all year round in the Northwest Republic? What was the purpose of making a waterproof pavement?

People who designed this pavement actually saw this pavement design before and copied it in their own country without thinking about the actual situation of their country.

These pavement designs, if being used in the Mifata Federation, would be quite good...

North Wind thought about this and was a little shocked by her ideas.

Those things were not what a spy should consider! If she handed in her ideas as a piece of information, then she would become a traitor like Wood too!

She frowned, driving those meaningless thoughts out of her mind and concentrated on her action plans.

But she didn’t know that on the top of the carriage, no more than two meters straight from her head, an invisible green jellyfish was thinking while watching her.

Where on earth did my pavement design come from?

When North Wind just stepped into the Void City, she was noticed by Sui Xiong immediately because Sui Xiong had been monitoring the portal these days. He even sent an incarnation to follow her in order to see what she was going to do and what the outcome of this matter would be.

Just now, Sui Xiong noticed North Wind’s ideas and used magic to cause her ideas to develop. Unexpectedly, she reacted smartly and quickly got rid of the idea that Sui Xiong had imposed on her. Sui Xiong could not help but think highly of her.

Apart from other things, the spy of the Mifata Federation really had a strong will!

Wood was such a strong-willed spy too. Sui Xiong had more than once sneaked into his dreams and persuaded him to submit to himself. But Wood never promised, not even wavering.

So Sui Xiong became more curious and wanted to know how the two spies, who were equally strong-willed and loyal to the Mifata Federation, would get along with each other? Would they kill each other?

His idea was a little dark, but since everything had been under his control, why not take a look?

Perhaps... there would be some unexpected gains in all this.
