Wood did not know that his message had not been sent to the Grey Pigeon Magic Props Shop immediately, but had been sent to the Holly Hall of the church of the Void Mask in Void City instead.

In fact, Wood’s identity had been exposed long ago, and the plan for him had already been completed. Every piece of information he sent out would be secretly intercepted halfway and reviewed by Grand Governor Felix. Then the information could be returned to the way it was supposed to go.

Even if he used the transportation portal to deliver his messages, there was no exception.

In terms of transportation portal technology, nobody in the world was more powerful than Sui Xiong. Only a few gods would be as powerful as him. The interception transportation portal in the Holy Hall of Void City was made by Sui Xiong. It could effectively intercept all the information involving the Northwest Republic, both inside and outside.

It was Felix who had suggested to make this transportation portal. However, Felix herself did not realize that the first time the interception transportation portal had played a role was in intercepting Wood’s confidential information.

“He’s very cautious this time.” Looking at the secret letter, the deputy director of the Office of Fishing and Hunting Resources Investigation, Clito, frowned. He was responsible for intelligence work. “Not only did the letter use the transportation portal, but it also uses cryptic words that I have never seen before.”

“Is there any important information in the secret letter?” Felix asked.

“No. Nobody has ever been found to use these kinds of cryptic words before. Perhaps only the high-leveled spies in the Mifata Federation can understand it.” Clito had become more and more adapted to his work. He now knew a great deal of confidential information from all over the world and could understand a lot of different cryptic words. It was not difficult to design a secret language for a high-level spy; in fact, it was quite necessary to do so.

But, nobody expected Wood’s level to be so high.

“It’s so incredible! I always thought that he was a low-level spy and would be hidden somewhere for all his life…” Felix muttered to herself. “I didn’t know that he was such a big guy.”

“People who can be sent out as spies aren’t normally big guys,” Clito shook his head and said. “I can only say that he is a high-level spy beyond our expectations.”

“Don’t tangle with such small matters. What about this information? Do you have any ways to decipher it?

Clito looked at the information carefully, thought for a moment and shook his head.

To decipher an encrypted message, a prophecy spell called “Deciphering Cipher-text” could be used. Although the spell was very difficult, there was no shortage of such talents in the Northwest Republic.

However, the prophecy spell could not be used to decipher a document written in a man-made language. They could only use the “common language” to try to find out the writer’s meanings—not the meanings of the words written in the document, but the ideas of the writer.

At first glance, it seemed to make no difference. Generally speaking, the writer’s ideas were the content of the document. But for professional spies, they could think of something else when they wrote a document. The ideas left on the document were totally different from what the writer thought.

If this document had used a unique man-made language, there was no way to decipher it by magic. If one broke it like an actual piece of cipher text, they would get a mess of worthless text. If one read the writer’s mind, they would get irrelevant content.

There were only two ways to decipher such a message.

The first way was to use the legendary spell to directly trace the content of this message, and it required a large-scale ceremony and a lot of time. Of course, the cost would be very high as well.

The second way was to try to decipher this kind of man-made language. It would take professional linguists and archaeologists a lot of time to decipher it and inevitably, they would make some mistakes.

But for them, time was certainly not enough.

The interception transportation portal could intercept the message, but it could not intercept it for too long. Otherwise, it was likely to be perceived by Wood easily.
