Chapter 1188 (1/2)

Chapter 1188: 372. Am I a genius?

The secret base of Division Intelligence Unit Two was established underground.

The crisp sounds of typewriters echoed in the air as streams of cigarette smoke curled from the passage of workers from Unit Two, the vast office bustling and lively, everyone hunched over their desks concentrating on the work in hand.

A few figures in black stand-up-collared suits were led by soldiers of Unit Two through the office area into the corridors behind, stopping outside the door of Acting Commander Morster.

The soldier knocked, reported, pushed the door open, and stepped aside to let the visitors through.

The figures behind him filed in, stepping into Morster’s office.

With a “click,” the door closed.

Morster sat in his seat without rising to greet the visitors, merely gesturing toward chairs opposite his desk, he said:

“We both know each other well, so let’s skip the pleasantries. Please sit. Is there something that requires your personal presence here?”

There were three visitors.

A flash of light swept over them, shedding their disguises and trading their black suits for golden-white magic robes.

The new arrivals were none other than the Light Wizards from the Pure Light Sect staying in Revival City, Lamont and his two companions.

About half an hour ago, Morster had received letters from both the Earth Vein Pillar and the Pure Light Court.

The letter from the Pure Light Court was a notice stating that they had questions to ask Morster in person and would cast a detection spell to make sure Morster didn’t lie.

The letter from the Earth Vein Pillar came from Morster’s current mentor, admonishing him to cooperate with the Pure Light Court’s investigation and answer whatever the Light Wizards asked.

The fact that his mentor so earnestly advised him to cooperate with the Pure Light Court’s investigation indicated that the matter the Light Wizards were probing was of extreme gravity, and that it was related to the Land of Revival.

Morster recalled, and it seemed there had been no significant incidents recently, had there?

Revival City was peaceful and orderly.

It was just that the undead spirits in the Grave Vault had been a bit too quiet. Could it be that this was what the Pure Light Court was here for?

With questions in his mind, Morster invited the visiting Light Wizards to sit down and used [Mage’s Hand] to bring over tea cups.

The three Light Wizards sat side by side, with Lamont in the middle.

He carefully weighed his words before asking:

“You should have received the letter about cooperating with our investigation, right?”

“Yes,” Morster nodded slightly, the interplay of light and shadow flickering across his silver-white metal mask:

“Can you tell me exactly what it’s about? To my knowledge, there hasn’t been any major incident recently.”

“Indeed, an incident has occurred, it’s just that so far, only a very few people are aware of it.”

Lamont, having met Morster a few times before and having a bit of a rapport with him, took a conciliatory tone to lay out the facts for him to understand:

“The thing is, Morster. About three days ago, an extremely important magical item was lost from the base that the Pure Light Court established within Revival City…”

Morster’s facial lines tightened slightly.

Somehow, he felt related to this matter, or at least to someone he knew—yet he couldn’t recall who that person was…
