The speed of the coach was not very fast, and so it took a long time to get from Void City to Pyroxene Town.

During this period, North Wind had no conversations with the other passengers. She spent two days in Dragon-Roar Town and Gold-Panning Town for the rest. She didn’t want to be with the other travelers and wanted to reduce the possibility of being on the same road with the same passengers.

She never imagined that there would be a guy on top of her head who was always following her. But she never found out.

When the coach stopped at Pyroxene Town Station, North Wind waited deliberately for some time before leaving the coach. After getting out of the coach, she looked a little tired. After a short rest, she asked the pedestrians by the road about the sculptor, Mr. Wood’s address.

Mr. Wood was a celebrity in Pyroxene Town. Everyone knew him. However, this pedestrian did not know where Mr. Wood lived. The pedestrian took her to the guards who were patrolling the city and asked the guards for Wood’s address.

When taken by this pedestrian to look for the guards, North Wind was very nervous. Although she pretended to be calm, Sui Xiong knew she was nervous and fearful.

Ha ha, this woman is easier to see through than Mr. Wood!

Sui Xiong laughed and looked at them. North Wind said that she was Mr. Wood’s wife who had been lost for many years. Then, accompanied by the guard who was surprised, she went to Wood’s woodcarving workshop.

Wood certainly did not know who North Wind was, but when North Wind said, “I heard about you in Cape Town,” Mr. Wood understood immediately.

Where was Cape Town? It was a town where the Grey Pigeon Magic Shop was located. The Grey Pigeon Magic Shop was famous for its magic props, and only federal spies would mention this place.

Mr. Wood immediately pretended to be very surprised and joyful, admitted that North Wind was indeed his wife. He insisted on giving the guard a small gift to express his gratitude.

In fact, at that moment, the expression of North Wind was slightly weird. The guard was a retired adventurer, so it was easy for him to notice this. However, Sui Xiong secretly disturbed the guard’s thoughts so that the guard would not say anything.

What a bore it would be if something was said by that guard!

When the guard left, Mr. Wood and North Wind entered the workshop and sat down face to face.

“Are you here to replace me?” Wood said happily, “Can I go home?”

The idea of “home” was jargon for spies. Home meant handing over the task and returning to base.

For those who were loyal to the Mifata Federation, there was no difference between returning to his country and returning to his home. Most of the spies were orphans, and the Mifata Federation was their only home.

Looking at Wood’s happy face, the North Wind had some doubts in her mind. It was weird. If Wood had betrayed the Mifata Federation or had the intention of betrayal, he would have been surprised or angry to see her.

Over the years, although he had not done his job well enough, he successfully hid his identity and built a reputation here. In this case, there was no way to let him return home. If the high officials of the Mifata Federation let him back home, it meant they were dissatisfied with his work and that he had failed his task. How could Wood be happy?
