Chapter 361: Searching for the insider, I found a big winery
With Mo Cheng's experience and his own memory, he felt that this mission would most likely go smoothly.
The best you can do is the [safe and sound] level, it would be a waste if you don't take the mission reward.
Moreover, O'Brien crystal is one of the important materials for the space-time magic array. Mo Cheng has always been envious of the magic array that can open the copy, and he will try his best to collect the required materials when possible.
The Space-Time Array is not only a portal to multiple dungeons for him, but also one of the few teleportation arrays that can directly reach other worlds after the [Eternal Night Disaster].
No matter from what angle, it is still necessary to spend some time and effort to collect the materials for the space-time magic array.
On the other side of the communication device, Principal Muzel's voice continued to come, "Remember, Dorothy is the only one in the negotiation this time, and you only need to ensure her safety."
For a batch of instruments that seriously affect the research, the negotiation task was given to only one person, and Mo Cheng was warned that only Dorothy could be trusted.
Mo Cheng subconsciously sensed that something was wrong.
"The interception of the equipment this time has something to do with the academy?"
The equipment involved in the research of [Elemental Mage] should have been transported on a top-secret route. But why was it intercepted, and why was it intercepted by the Kingdom of Bezek, which had considerable friction with Aundair? This question itself is very intriguing.
Mo Cheng had already smelled something unusual, a smell of a traitor who wanted to stab him in the back.
There was a traitor in the mission, and not only was he badly tricked, but the traitor's backstabbing was even more troublesome. Mo Cheng couldn't even remember how many times he had been backstabbed by the traitor in the mission in [Foreign Land]. It was almost a habit for him.
Whether you see people related to the mission , protection personnel, or people who issue the mission, it is a habit to assume that they are all insiders.
There was a time when Mo Cheng was even like Gin, thinking that everyone was a mole or a traitor, and he was almost developing PTSD.
“…”
There was no answer from the other side. After a long while, Principal Muzel's voice, which was suppressed with anger, came over. "You are right. The information was leaked from the academy. The traitor did it very cleanly. We have not found any clues yet."
Mo Cheng shrugged, not surprised, as he had encountered this kind of thing many times.
"I will send all the people on the suspect list with Dorothy to form a delegation. Dorothy will find a way to find the traitor. You only need to ensure Dorothy's safety and detonate the device at the last minute."
After a pause, Principal Muzel continued, "If you have the ability, please help me find the traitor in the delegation, and any wizard who is not from the Winterhold Magic Academy in the Kingdom of Bezeko who is involved in this matter..."
"Kill him! Bring me his head."
"I'll double your reward."
"Deal, wait for my good news."
Mo Cheng readily agreed without even the slightest hesitation, because with Principal Muzel's commission, the task system finally started moving again.
[Mission: Invisible Wasp]
[ The sound of the train on the sea is calling you. 】
【The rear can also contribute to the organization. 】
[The blade is more lethal than a pistol.]
[The only thing that needs to be confirmed now is, who is the woman waiting for you to meet up? ]
[Classmate? Foreign friend? Junior schoolmate? Bad woman? Or work partner? ]
[Protect Dorothy's safety, investigate the traitor in the delegation, bring back the equipment of the Winterhold Magic Academy safely, and...]
【Kill the "Silver Fox"! 】
[Except for the traitor, the reward will decrease for each person who dies in the delegation.]
[The task is extremely difficult. You don't like to use your brain. Why not give it to someone with a brain to solve it? ]
[You don't have the chance to die more than eighty times and start over. ]
After putting away the communication device, Mo Cheng squinted his eyes and looked at the description of the task. The task text of this system became more and more vague, and the meaning expressed became more and more confusing.
This thing even uses a game in its memory as illustration material.
After reading the task description carefully several times, Mo Cheng didn't know if it was an illusion, but he found that this task was providing him with some information in a subtle way.
It seemed like an explanation of his situation during the mission, and it also seemed like it had a hidden meaning, but Mo Cheng couldn't grasp the feeling and didn't understand what this mission description was trying to say.
In Mo Cheng's opinion, catching the traitor is a task similar to killing werewolves. In fact, if he had a choice, he would like to kill everyone in the delegation except Dorothy, so that the traitor will definitely die.
Unfortunately, this most efficient method was prohibited by the system. If he was really killed by a delegation other than Dorothy, then based on what Mo Cheng knew about the nature of the system, the most he would get as a reward would be two bottles of healing ointment.
He was indeed not good at this type of mission, but it was obvious that he would not give up any mission.
Carrying the unconscious Lilia all the way back to the camp, the two sisters Isabella and Theresa were already waiting there, but the two pure-colored Tifeng birds were not there.
At the same time, Mo Cheng could also feel that Isabella and Theresa had been significantly strengthened, and he could even detect a hint of threat in the bows and arrows behind them.
Mo Cheng knew that the half-elf sisters' job change had been successful. [Dragon Hunter] had the ability to specifically strengthen weapons , which was manifested in the ability to create various dragon-slaying series weapons such as [Dragon Bow] and [Dragon Sword].
It is also worth mentioning that the earliest series of dragon-slaying weapons actually came from giant dragons.
Even in the ancient times when dragons and Titans were fighting for supremacy, the dragon-slaying weapons made by the Titans were all based on the torture instruments circulated among the dragon clan and used to punish serious criminals.
After the few people reunited, Mo Cheng did not talk here, but signaled the half-elf sisters to leave the wetland jungle first.
The group walked out of the wetland jungle, and at the same time, two pairs of eyes were staring at Mo Cheng and his group.
"Blue, you should know how talented those two girls are. Why are you trying to stop me?"
"Because they are half-elves, if you forcibly bring them to the Elf King, they will be criticized by the elves."
Compared to Red, Blue obviously thought more about it. "You know what the status of half-elves is in the elves. Do you really think that if you bring people to the Elf King, the Elders' Council will make an exception for you?"
"snort!"
Knowing that he couldn't win the argument with Blue, Red didn't argue. He turned his head to the side and said nothing. Only when Mo Cheng and his group disappeared from his sight did he say in a deep voice: "That captain gave me a very strange feeling, like a dragonborn."
"It may be hidden blood. Many people have some hidden dragon blood, but the purity is too low to become a dragonborn."
"No." Red blinked rapidly, "When I rushed in front of him, I felt like I was facing a dragon."
“…”
Suddenly the two birds laughed out loud, and the sound startled many wind birds.
"Dragon? Let the team members become dragon slayers. Red, I find you are more humorous than me."
"I think so." Red tilted his head. "Maybe this is an illusion."
