Chapter 522: Chapter 62

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.
