Chapter 561 Many secret people
Since last time he returned from the impact crater in the southern foot of the Dark Mountains, Gao Wen has been collecting investigations and re-cluttering all known information about the Mitsunian treasure house.
Behind this mysterious organization may be related to the dragon, and the dragon seems to be related to the situation of the entire continent, the demon tide, and the mysterious "black trap" phenomenon. On the other hand, the original owner of his body, Gowen Cecil, also has a certain connection with the Misilan Treasure House... These clues are connected together, forcing him to be more vigilant about this mysterious organization.
During the investigation, Gao Wen discovered that the information about the Mitsunian Treasure House was much more than he imagined. In fact... the information can be described as a vast sea of smoke.
The ancient mysterious Misilan Treasure is true, but it has never been an isolated organization. On the contrary, it is active in almost any land known to mankind, even the fields of elements and high-level monsters. It collects, stores, rents, and trades with any country and any race. As long as it meets the "trading standards" of the Misilan Treasure, the agent of the Treasure will appear in front of you. From this point, the Misilan Treasure can be said to be "open".
It even has fixed contact points in major cities, fixed contact personnel, and has established effective and stable official docking channels with local forces. It is even in Lu'an City, Hosman City, and in the old city of Pebo, there are a total of seven "stores" opened in the Mithril treasure houses, and more than ten low-level agents operate the stores, and they are still operating normally.
They are all century-old shops.
They do business similar to paid treasury and lending, operate legally and have complete information. After the unification of the southern border, they also immediately registered the business in the Government Affairs Department. One of the stores was even rated as one of the outstanding merchants of Hosman. The photos of their agents taking the award on stage were also featured in Hosman's local newspapers...
However, in addition to this shallow information, the deep information about the Mitsunian Treasure House is not so easy to investigate.
The grassroots stores of the Miltese Treasure Reservoir seem to be secrets, and their low-level agents are just ordinary people. Gao Wen investigated the information of some low-level agents and confirmed that those people are locals with innocent backgrounds and clear identity proofs. These low-level agents and grassroots stores are responsible for higher-level "regional agents". There seems to be no problem with the identities of these regional agents. At least, Cecil's Government Affairs Department has no problem investigating.
So, on which level did the Mitsunian Treasure House contact the dragon?
Gao Wen is still not sure, but he thinks of Cecil's business intelligence network from the organizational form of the Midsil Treasure House to the intelligence system with commercial organizations at all levels as the carrier and military intelligence agencies as the key nodes. He thinks that the so-called agent system of the Midsil Treasure House is probably similar.
The silver-white ring emitted a little heat. As the magic power was injected into it, the spell that solidified inside the ring started to work. A slightly hoarse mature voice sounded in Gowen's ears, interrupting his thoughts: "Salute to you, does Duke Gowen Cecil need help in business?"
"Miss mylittlepony," Gao Wen calmed down and said calmly, "I have some questions about the Mitsunian Treasure House and want to consult in person."
After multiple investigations, he finally decided to conduct a direct contact and test. Since Miss Melita was already a "senior agent", Gao Wen had reason to believe that the other party had at least some high-level secrets. Anyway, the test was done and valuable information was gained, and there was no loss if it failed.
The voice across the ring paused for a moment before it rang out: "Is it an important question to consult in person...?"
"It's very important," Gao Wen said slowly, "Is there any difficulty?"
"...No, no problem, the Mithril Treasure House has always fulfilled its contract faithfully," Melitapernia's voice came, "Then I will visit me later just near Cecil."
The slight heat of the Misilian Ring gradually faded away, but Gao Wen frowned slightly.
The senior agent happened to be near Cecil City? Is this a coincidence or intentional? And what is the meaning of her when she took the initiative to tell herself about this?
In theory, there are not many "customers" who can directly talk to the senior agents of the Mithril Treasure House. In Cecil, there is probably only one of hers. Melitapenia is stuck here, so it is impossible for other customers... So, she has been waiting for her contact?
Gao Wen shook his head. He felt that he might be too sensitive, but...
Considering the existence of the dragon, it is better to be more sensitive to this problem.
There was no extra schedule today, so Gao Wen patiently waited for the visit of the senior agent in the lord's mansion, and he didn't wait long.
As the Giant Sun was leaning westward, Betty ran into the study and the little maid bowed to the end: "Master!! Someone is looking for you! She said her name is..."
"Please come in," Gao Wen interrupted Betty, "Also, go prepare the refreshment and deliver it to the study."
"Oh! OK!"
Gao Wen sorted out the documents on his desk, and a few minutes later, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor.
The door of the study opened, and a young lady wearing a purple gauze dress with a lilac veil on her face, and a graceful and mysterious figure, led by the maid Betty, walked into the room. The lady in the senior agent of the Misin Treasure House.
Betty temporarily retreated after taking the guest to the study. Gao Wen glanced at Melita. He did not show any strange expression, but nodded calmly: "Long time no see, Miss Agent."
"Long time no see, Duke Cecil," Melita nodded slightly, and then... came to Gao Wen's desk with a little unsteady step. "This city is really changing every day, which is surprising."
Gao Wen: "…"
Although this Miss Mylittlepony has tried to maintain a stable and dignified posture, Gao Wen can still see at a glance that the other party's leg seems to be injured!
"What's wrong with your legs?!"
"... There are always accidents in life," the agent said calmly and calmly, but if it was an illusion, Gao Wen saw a faint anger in the other person's eyes, "It doesn't affect his work at all... it's just a minor injury."
Of course, Gao Wen was very curious about why a senior agent of the Mithril Treasure Repository was injured, and the agent was probably a high-level extraordinary person, but he did not rashly ask others about their privacy, so he just pointed to the seat next to him: "Then sit down and say, if I had known that you were injured, I wouldn't have called you here today."
"Misin Treasure House, the first credibility, we have never given any discounts on customer service, and have been like this for thousands of years," the agent lady sat down in the seat, and then continued casually before Takawan began the topic, "And... our conversation today will be very necessary, right?"
Gao Wen frowned slightly: "Oh?"
"Let's be honest, Duke of Cecil," sighed Melitapperia, "You have taken people to the southern part of the Dark Mountains not long ago, is that right?"
Gao Wen's eyes froze slightly, but under his calm face, he was already shocked.
Amid all the assumptions and conjectures that suddenly surged, he temporarily suppressed all the associated possibilities and looked calmly into the eyes of the senior agent in front of him: "Do you know what we found there?"
"You found out..." Melitapernia said softly, then leaned over and moved her face closer to Gao Wen
The charming lilac eyes had turned into a pair of vertical pupils at some point. The fine scales appeared faintly from both sides of her eyes. In a vague and powerful aura, her voice came into Gao Wen's ears.
"Is the trace of the dragon?"
Gao Wen looked at Melita's already faintly humanized face in a calm manner. After maintaining this posture for two seconds, the latter quickly returned to normal and returned to his original position. Betty's voice came from outside the door the next second: "Master! I'm here to bring refreshments!"
"Please put it here," the atmosphere in the study became as normal as usual in an instant. Gao Wen asked the little maid to put the refreshment tray on the table, and then nodded gently, "Go and rest first, don't let someone come to the study for the time being."
"Oh, OK!"
Betty obediently closed the door and left the room, while Melitaperia chuckled and broke the silence after a brief silence: "I thought my eyes and scales would at least surprise you a little."
Gao Wen spread his hands: "Frankly speaking, I have a long scale here. She may have more scales than you in terms of the number of scales, so I am not that surprised by similar non-human physiological characteristics."
This answer was somewhat beyond Melita's expectations. She was stunned for a moment, and her tone was a little helpless: "...Is that Siren Miss? Indeed, there are many... very strange people gathered here."
Gao Wen tried to maintain the calmest and calm posture at this moment, but in fact, countless thoughts had quickly turned around in his mind. The first idea that emerged was to think of the dragon he had witnessed from a satellite perspective.
Melitapenia, the senior agent of the Mithril Treasure House, should be that dragon!!
Then the wound on her leg...
Could it be that the way this dragon lady crashes every time she throws away the satellite tracking?
The clues in Gao Wen's mind seemed to be connected in an instant, but he guessed that Melitapernia should not know the details of him as a "satellite spirit". This dragon lady should only know that he had led people to explore the southern part of the Dark Mountains and discovered the impact crater. In other words, the information point of "crash" cannot be exposed, nor can it be expressed in advance that the dragon is active in the southern part of the Dark Mountains...
He carefully considered the asymmetry between the two sides, and judged the other party's motives and purpose based on Melitapernia's behavior of actively exposing her identity. During his consideration and judgment, he spoke cautiously: "Is it amazing... the siren and the dragon are not as simple as 'wonderful' for humans. I am very lucky to have the opportunity to know members of these two legendary races at the same time. I am very curious, one dragon... the other with the identity of the 'high-level agent of the Mitsunian Treasure House', what exactly do you want to do in the human world?"
"Don't be so alert, the dragons have no malicious intentions towards the human world," said Melita. "But before continuing on this topic, I hope to get back some things that I accidentally lost, which are precious possessions of the Mithril treasure house. I know they are in your hands now, and I can feel their breath."
After Melita revealed her identity, Gao Wen guessed that the other party would mention those rings. He took out the box of Misilian rings from a lattice under the desk and placed them on the table: "Are you talking about these rings?"
"Can you give it back to me?"
"Then we have to have a good talk," Gao Wen put his hand on the box, leaned back slightly, leaning against the back of the chair. "Let's start with the relationship between the Misin Treasure House and the Dragon. Are you an exception among senior agents?"
Melita did not answer immediately, but looked at Gao Wen's eyes with amusedness: "You are very calm when facing the real dragon clan."
