Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 132 Preparations before entering Dragon Country
Money makes the world go round, especially when the millstone is golden.
Even though Shrek knew that this mission was very risky, the danger came not only from within the Dragon Kingdom, but also from the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service.
But the temptation of benefits still made him decide to give it a try!
Shrek said to Luke: "Completing this mission means that we are officially cooperating with the Imperial Secret Service?"
Luke smiled and said, "You think too much. Under no circumstances will the Empire admit to any involvement in the visit to the Dragon Tomb. Moreover, the Imperial Secret Service will actively eliminate you criminals who offend the Dragon Nation. Of course, the tasks that should be assigned to you will still be assigned to you, and the money that should be given will also be given to you.
Perhaps I will give you a heads-up when necessary."
Luke's answer did not disappoint Shrek, but instead increased his confidence in the authenticity of the mission.
He took on the task and said, "When do we leave?"
“The sooner the better!”
Shrek thought about the club's recent arrangements and who could be called upon, then replied to Luke: "At this time tomorrow, I can prepare the personnel and supplies to escort you into Dragon Country."
"Then we'll set off at this time tomorrow."
Shrek stood up and shook hands with Luke. "I wish we have a pleasant cooperation this time, and I hope you didn't lie to me. I warn you, anyone who deceives me will never have a good ending."
Luke always had a smile on his face: "I believe the money on the check will not lie. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow!"
Shrek personally escorted Luke, the financial sponsor, out the door, which surprised Eiffel who was guarding outside.
Luke took his things back from Eiffel and said, "Ms. Eiffel, are you interested in joining the Secret Service? With your qualifications and my help, you will definitely become an excellent imperial spy."
Regarding Luke's poaching in front of his boss, Eiffel replied: "I'm sorry, Agent Luke, I still like my current life. Mr. Shrek is very good to me, and I have no intention of changing jobs for the time being."
"That... is a pity!" Luke put on his coat and hat and returned along the same route: "No need to follow me, I know how to get back to Jinjing Town."
Luke quickly disappeared into the maze of corridors.
Not knowing what was going on, Eiffel asked Shrek, "Boss, are you just going to let him go? He will remember the way to the maze corridor after walking with me once. What if he rushes in with the imperial spies next time?"
Shrek looked at the direction where Luke left for a long time without saying anything.
Until a check floated to him.
A voice sounded beside him: "Boss, the check is real."
A smile immediately appeared on Shrek's face: "The money on the check will not deceive people, and this mission is worth my risk. If he really cheated me with millions of Reichsmarks, my loss would only be this club.
Eiffel, you will lead the team to accompany Agent Luke into Dragon Country tomorrow."
Eiffel asked, "What are you doing accompanying him into Dragon Country?"
"He said there is a dragon tomb deep in the Dragon Kingdom, which contains many giant dragon remains. He asked us to escort him to the dragon tomb and collect some samples before returning.
Your task is not only to protect him, but also to remember the location and route of the dragon tomb."
Eiffel replied: "Boss, you can rest assured to leave this task to me."
"What if we find out he lied to us?"
Eiffel showed a murderous smile: "He will stay in Dragon Country forever."
"Very good! Get ready and set off tomorrow!"
…
Luke walked out of the Dragon Country Club and returned to his residence in Jinjing Town through the dense forest. This level of mental confusion had no effect on him.
The dragon tomb he mentioned does exist. The guide on his mobile phone contains the detailed location of the dragon tomb and its internal structure.
It was a very open underground space, full of fossil remains left by giant dragons. Because giant dragons possessed extremely powerful magic, after their death, their bodies would disappear, but their magic would remain and become abundant mysterious energy.
By using the appropriate secret words, you can mobilize the mysterious energy formed by the magic of these dragons.
If Luke wants to have his own group of dragons, he certainly can't do it by poaching other dragon kings. As for taming wild dragons, the effort and reward are not proportional. Wild dragons are guys who are not accepted by the dragon group, either weak or with character flaws. If he takes such a group of misfits to participate in the Dragon King Trial, it would be better to go alone.
Therefore, when Luke wanted to form a group of Taotie King Dragons, the first thing he thought of was the Dragon Tomb.
The reason for hiring escorts is because activating the secret technique requires... a sacrifice of flesh and blood.
Luke walked back to his rented hotel while thinking about his itinerary.
Then he found that the door of his room was open, and the detective Honghu of the Secret Service of Jinjing Town was sitting on the sofa, reading a book in his hand.
Luke walked into the room and closed the door. He pulled out his magic wand and swung it. An electric chain shot out and the book in Inspector Red Fox's hand flew out.
After another swing, Inspector Red Fox was pulled up by an invisible force and pressed heavily against the wall.
"Inspector Red Fox! Although you hold a higher position than me in the Secret Service, I am an agent in the Inspection Office of the General Administration. Breaking into my room without permission and looking through my things without permission is enough for me to take you back to the General Administration to be convicted."
Although Inspector Red Fox was pressed against the wall in a very embarrassing situation .
"I didn't expect that an imperial spy would actually read 'The Art of Felisher Magic Runes'. As far as I know, even the top magicians may not be able to understand this kind of top-level magic theory."
"It should be my freedom to read whatever books I want."
"But a magician who can learn the 'Filisher Magic Rune Technique' is definitely not an agent of the Secret Service Inspection Office. The fact that you were able to return safely from the Dragon Country Club shows that your identity is very special."
Luke released the restraint and Inspector Red Fox fell off the wall.
"You know I went to the Dragon Country Club, and it seems that you do work for them."
The Red Fox Inspector who fell to the ground stood up, brushed off the dust on his clothes, and said casually: "In Jinjing Town, if you want to do something, you must first save your life. Not everyone has the ability to make a falling star, and my predecessors have proved this point very well.
Agent Luke, no matter what your real purpose is for coming to Jinjing Town, I advise you to leave here as soon as possible. You have affected my work. "
Luke could roughly guess where Agent Red Fox stood and what he was doing.
"My work is more important than yours. I have gained a certain understanding of the situation in Jinjing Town. The difficulties here are only difficult for you. For the current empire... there is only one way to go against the empire, and that is death.
I have sent the intelligence I collected to the Secret Service. You just need to keep the evidence you collected safe and cooperate with the service."
The gray industry in Jinjing Town is so arrogant because the people who want to deal with them are not of high enough level. Since the Prime Minister of the Empire has personally come to confirm the situation in Jinjing Town, it is only a matter of a word to rectify a small town directly under the Empire.
But this sentence made the smile on Detective Red Fox's face disappear: "Who are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am right now. Once you've dealt with the matter in Jinjing Town, report to the General Administration. It's a waste to keep you here."
"Yes, yes, yes, sir!" Detective Red Fox saluted respectfully.
The detectives of the Imperial Secret Service are all directly appointed by Princess Agatha. Few people in the entire Imperial Secret Service have the power to ask a serving detective to report back to the headquarters.
Luke sat on the sofa and reached out to take the "Ferisher Magic Pattern Technique" from the air.
"It's all right here, you can go back. Don't make the same mistake again, I'll only forgive you this time."
Inspector Red Fox saluted again, "I'm sorry, sir. I will never betray my colleagues again."
Luke waved his hand.
Detective Red Fox slowly backed out, slowly opened the door, and then slowly closed it.
When he got out of the door, he realized that his clothes were soaked with sweat and his heart was beating rapidly.
