Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 389 Plan

Medici rubbed his nose: "It feels like someone is talking about me."

He turned his head and asked: "How was your discussion?"

The three senior members of the Iron Cross were seen discussing around a sand table model. The sand table model had crisscrossed waterways and many different types of bridges on two rivers. This was a draft provided by the church of the hidden sage, whose name had not yet been thought of.

"There's too much water in this city." Tang En smacked his lips. "Should the government's public university offer a sailing course? If the application is successful, we might be able to solve the current employment problem for the sailors and have more manpower for future naval battles."

Medici interrupted: "Do we have any sailors here?"

"Didn't the Lord say before that the five paths in the church should be fully developed?" Tang En answered first. "After the flood, many Beyonders in other paths were killed or injured, but a large number of sailors survived and were promoted. Many others chose to become sailors directly after surviving. Now half of the low-sequence people in the church are sailors, and we have to start from scratch to train cultivators and singers."

"That can indeed help develop naval talents." Medici stroked his chin, thinking of the Sonia Fleet of the Feysac Empire, and became interested. "It can be adopted, but what does this have to do with the city layout?"

"There should be some guardrails along the river," Trainor said, "especially around these secluded little tributaries, which can be dangerous."

Tang En looked at him and said, "That makes sense. Is it because it's convenient to kill people and rob them? But most people wouldn't deliberately go near a secluded river. If it was suicide, there would be special church personnel patrolling and managing it."

"Pretty much," Traynor said. "When I was a kid, I once challenged my rival to a duel and then turned him down. Unfortunately, he caught a cold for two days."

Tang En said perfunctorily: "Amazing."

“I think this street is great,” Raymond said, pointing to a house on a main road.

Others came over and said, "Planning to buy a house here? It's not impossible. Most houses in the city are empty now. You can live wherever you want."

"No, no, don't you think this location is great?"

Raymond waved his hands repeatedly and pointed at the house model again: "This is a good location. As long as we place a large alchemy puppet of the Steam Church equipped with medium-sized weapons here, the firepower can cover the entire block!"

Tang En and Treanor pretended to understand something and said perfunctorily, "Great, great."

Medici watched for a while, gave up thinking, and felt that the decision to let hunters discuss the city layout was a bit too advanced.

……

At Meige Manor, the night has fallen.

Klein had just fallen asleep, arranging accommodation for more than 20 guests and preparing for hunting activities the next day, when he suddenly woke up.

His intuition triggered a premonition, and a picture appeared in his mind:
Major General Qonas Kilger, dressed in a shirt and trousers, flew out stealthily from the window of the guest room and floated outwards against the laws of nature.

This... I haven't even started yet... He came here for his own purpose... Klein had a flash of thought, and he had already controlled a cockroach outside, transforming it into a secret doll, using its "eyes" to observe the surroundings.

Almost at the same time, Qonas Kilger appeared.

After leaving Meige Manor, the demigod immediately confused the "distance" and quickly came to the bank of the Tussock River, preparing to cross it.

The cockroach just watched quietly without any reaction.

He was going to the south bank of the Tussock River...what did he want to do...He liked to go hunting in the suburbs. Was it to cover up such actions? Was there a reason why he introduced Meige Manor to me? Klein lay in bed and carefully analyzed Qiunas' behavior.

When the demigod from MI9 actually set foot on the south bank of the Tussock River, Klein suddenly remembered something:
After he escaped from the underground ruins where Ince Zangwill and others were, he appeared in the northwest of Backlund, on the south bank of the Tussock River, not too far from the area where the Meige Manor was located.

As his thoughts raced, Klein suddenly switched places with Enuni, the personal servant in the next room.

About 150 meters away from the main house of the manor, a centipede that was crawling slowly under the grape vines suddenly stiffened and then relaxed.

Almost at the same time, its figure disappeared from the spot, and Dwayne Dantès, wearing blue and white plaid pajamas, appeared there.

Klein swapped positions with the secret doll again!

He decided to use this method to secretly follow Qonas Kilger and find out where he was going and what he was going to do.

You have to know that he is a demigod. Even if he is not good at spiritual intuition and other fields, he is still a demigod and should never be underestimated!

By the same token, the reason why Klein did not rely on Creeping Hunger to hide in the shadows was because although this kind of tracking was stealthy, the speed was relatively slow, and it was impossible to catch up with a demigod.

In the deep night, from Meige Manor to the south bank of the Tussock River, mice, poisonous snakes, spiders, and river fish that roamed among the tree roots and played among the stones gradually became stiff and their movements became sluggish.

One secret doll after another was transformed, and with their help, Klein continued to "teleport" without causing any noise. He soon arrived at the south bank of the Tussock River and caught up with Chunas Kilger, keeping a distance of nearly 1 kilometer.

……

On the other side, just as Leonard thought, Cattleya was approaching the coastline of Intis.

Of course, she did not take her own "Future". As a member of the Moss Ascetic Order and a pirate general, her rash approach to another country's territorial waters would arouse people's vigilance, not to mention that she is now a demigod.

A three-masted sailing ship capable of carrying 200 people was approaching the port of Firren in the Sea between Intis, with only a dozen people on board. The Moss Ascetic Order was proficient in not listening, not seeing, and not speaking, and had rich experience in evading the lessons and knowledge indoctrination of the hidden sage. As long as they were not using a lot of spiritual power for rituals when the Demon of Knowledge came, they could basically save their lives. The remaining members went to Intis in batches. When the first team sent a safe message a week later, the Ascetic Order began to discuss the second batch of people.

Cattleya was among them.

She was originally unable to enter the core because of the "Mysterious Queen", but now she has no reason to be suspected. In addition, the previous call of the Hidden Sage caused a large number of "secret peepers" to die out of control around the world. Now Cattleya has become the mainstay and the second batch to go to Intis.

Everyone else on the boat was discussing the matter animatedly. It was a rare opportunity for the Ascetic members, who had remained silent for years, to speak freely.

Almost everyone was looking forward to being reused in Intis, to freely pursue knowledge or spread knowledge, how to combine their extraordinary knowledge and ritual magic with real life, and how much ancient history and mysterious magic the new church could provide. These scholars were still dreaming of being pure scholars, and did not know that as soon as they arrived in Intis, they would be drafted into various city construction projects.

Of course, this is not a bad thing for them.

Applying mysterious and ritual magic to reality and doing things that ordinary tools cannot do can be regarded as effective performance.

Cattleya seemed a little out of place among them. She didn't seem to have much hope for the future and didn't communicate with others much. However, once they thought about the fact that this pirate general who had little communication with the Moss Ascetic Order had left his ship and was about to arrive in a completely unfamiliar place outside of their sphere of influence, the other secret peepers thought it was not strange that she was silent and vigilant.

"As expected, this is the place where a tsunami just happened. The spiritual power in the sea water here is very unstable..."

Several small teams are conducting on-site surveys. The starlight is transformed into astrolabes and measuring instruments in the hands of these people who are trying to understand the mysteries, calculating tides and ocean currents.

One of the gray-haired middle-aged men clicked his tongue a few times and said, "The ocean currents are chaotic and the spirit is unstable. It's simply a small raging sea! The number of fish in the sea has decreased a lot. I remember that this seaport in the middle sea was one of the pillars of the fishing industry. Now I'm afraid that there is no fish to be caught at all."

"The fish will also undergo certain mutations!" Another secret spy pointed to the water. The middle-aged scholar with gray hair waved his hand, and a fish that was swimming along with the current of the boat was caught in the air by the starlight. People around gathered around.

"This seems to be a common marine fish that appears near the Intermediate Sea." After all, they are pirate generals who have been making a living on the sea for many years. Cattleya in the distance was also aroused by their academic discussion. The knowledge of the ocean and fish schools has long been instilled by the hidden sage, but abnormal seas such as the Violent Sea and the Ruins of the War of Gods are not often seen.

Before she could publicize her demigod status, Cattleya pushed up her glasses and looked carefully at the fish floating in the air.

Seeing this, Cattleya's eyes widened, and she immediately understood why the other secret peepers were so keen on offshore research. The scales of this sea fish were smooth, and it was suspended in the air without losing water, as if water droplets were tightly locked by its scales, and its eyes were also protected by a water film. It even had a pair of thin membranes evolved near the fins on both sides of its body that could glide briefly on the sea surface. Its size was far beyond the average of its species, and it could even be called the largest fish ever discovered, but it was still in its growth period!
As one of the victims of the war of gods, Cattleya knew clearly that the tsunami was the divine punishment of the Lord of Storms on Intis, and it was also an attack to reduce the opponent's anchor. It was not surprising that the spirituality of the gods was contained in the sea water.

But just this little bit was enough to cause marine life to mutate in such a short period of time, which was really beyond her imagination!

She couldn't help but think of the "sea god" Kalvetuwa, and then consciously blasphemously separated the "sea god" and Kalvetuwa and made an analogy.

"Influenced by the spirituality of the 'Sailor' path?"

Another mystery peeper pushed up his glasses and exclaimed, "On the impact of spiritual power on ordinary life, exploring the differences in age and different species, this is enough for those intellectuals in Renburg to write ten, no, twenty papers!"

"The situation in the Raging Sea is somewhat similar to that here, but there are almost no species there... It has something to do with the spirituality of the 'Corpse Collector' path."

"Haha, compared to a group of zombie fish and zombie marine creatures, this is still a relief."

"That's not the case. From an academic perspective, both zombies and sailors have equal research value."

"Maybe this kind of fish can be used as a material for potions in the future?"

The secret-peekers whispered for a while, and someone noticed Cattleya who was looking over here, and took the initiative to wave and greet her, "Pirate Captain! Do you want to come and take a look?"

Cattleya shook her head. She had no sense of belonging to the Moss Ascetic Order and continued to sit there quietly.

The secret peeker had nothing better to do so he spoke to her:

"I don't know what kind of social status and power we can have in Intis. It is said that the National Library of Trier has experienced two great chaos after the fall of the Solon royal family and the death of Emperor Roselle. Countless books and collections were lost. It's a pity to think about it."

Cattleya thought about it and realized that she would probably have to work in the Ascetic Order for a long time in the future. Interpersonal relationships were very important, so she answered:
"Are you looking forward to your future life in Intis?"

"Compared to living, I'm more looking forward to gaining new knowledge." The Secret Peeping Man scratched his head and said uncertainly, "It feels like I'm just moving to a different place to continue my scholarly life. We all use sign language to communicate and discuss academic knowledge. If we fall asleep while studying, we continue studying when we wake up. If we find a library, we take our dry food and move in. If we faint from hunger, we sleep. If our clothes get dirty, we wear them inside out..."

"..."

Cattleya politely turned her head away and silently gave up the idea of ​​building a good relationship with this secret peeper. Then she began to think about whether she should give up the idea of ​​building a good relationship with all the secret peepers in the Moss Ascetic Order.

At this moment, Cattleya suddenly looked up in the direction of the port, and saw a huge black shadow staggering and flying!
This black shadow had the wings of the prototype of the Roselle glider, the balloon of a small steam airship, the ram and streamlined hull of a ship, and there were many ritual magic symbols flickering faintly on the hull. It seemed that this thing flew not only relying on the small balloon.

Cattleya couldn't figure out what it was for a moment, but then the black shadow began to tilt to one side.

There seemed to be quite a few people near the port. They seemed to be used to it. When the shadow passed over their heads, they were still whispering, not caring whether this huge thing would hit them. Then a secret peeper in a robe ran out, holding up the hem of his clothes, and waved vigorously at the unknown machine. The sound was amplified by a funnel-shaped object to a deafening sound.

"To the sea! To the sea!"

The Secret Peeper ran and shouted, no longer looking like a scholar at all. His robe seemed to be his last bit of stubbornness.

The craftsman on the ship made an OK gesture, and then skillfully controlled the flying ship to crash diagonally onto the offshore beach.

He passed by the ship of the Moss Ascetic Order and greeted the secret-peekers.

Then, a huge wave hit, drenching the secret-seeking people on the sailboat of the Moss Ascetic Order.

No one thought of opening a starlight barrier to block the water. Everyone opened their mouths wide, and their eyes followed the big ship as it fell into the near sea. The ship was so quiet that only the sound of dripping water could be heard.

After a long time, a man suddenly broke the silence by spitting out a small crab that flew into his mouth.

"What it is?!"

The mystery peeper standing next to Cattleya suddenly became excited: "Is it the improvement and real-life application of the 'levitation technique'?! Has Intis actually begun to try to combine such high-end mysterious magic with real-life equipment?"

Cattleya was also slightly shocked. She carefully observed the large ship and confirmed that it was not a pirate ship. It had no gun muzzles, no offensive equipment, and no signs of military modifications. It was a pure cargo ship.

Intis actually used the power of mysticism to transport goods? !
Moreover, this thing that violates mechanics and machinery and abuses mysticism can actually fly!

Soon, the craftsman climbed out of the boat, holding a thick report on his head, and then skillfully waded through the water towards his mystery-peek partner who was waiting on the dock made up of only a few wooden boards.

He took the pencil off his ear, ticked the form in the newspaper, and said with a smile:

"The hang glider you designed is useless."

"How can you talk like that?" The Secret Peer was furious. "You have to try it to know if it's useless. If you can keep your balance, then it won't be useless!"

"The ship is already well balanced, why do we need to maintain balance?" the craftsman retorted, "If you'd rather spend that time improving the balloon and steering equipment, you might as well do something with the mysterious magic! But your mysterious magic is well carved, fuel consumption is indeed reduced, and it's also windproof. Costs are reduced and comfort is increased, which is a good thing."

The secret peeper followed the steps without hesitation:
"Then the next step is to improve the steering. It seems that the tail wing got stuck when you crashed."

"This can't be called a plane crash." The craftsman thought it should be more precise. "It's called a ship crash. When it crashed, I found twelve small loopholes and errors in the design, including the misalignment of the baffles on the hull. This time the improvement needs to be more detailed."

The craftsman quickly wrote down a lot of data and details. The Secret Peeper took it and looked at it, smacking his lips:
"You want to overhaul everything from the hull to the size of the balloon to the internal structure? You'd better do it this time. This is a huge project."

"Well, it's gradually starting to get better. The engineering and design will only get more complicated. We don't have enough manpower, so we need to find a solution."

"Manpower? Aren't these enough manpower?"

The secret peeper looked at the approaching ship and winked.

The peepers on the ship had curiosity written all over their faces as they observed the improved flying freighter with fascination. They gathered in groups of three or five to discuss data and designs, completely unaware of their impending fate of being conscripted into the army.

Cattleya also stood up, eager to jump off the boat to observe closely.

Looking at these innocent lambs, they both smiled knowingly at the same time.
