Chapter 111 The Guardian Necklace
Miss Catherine Grey was initially shocked to hear that Evan could produce £20000 in cash at any time, but when she heard that Evan was going to give her the "Briber" formula, she perked up and eagerly took the formula to look at it.
"Sequence 7: The Briber"
Main ingredients: one Crying Baby Flower, and Fiendish Cannabis Crystals.
Additional ingredients: 5 drops of golden datura juice, 5 drops of black datura juice, 4 drops of psychedelic herb essential oil, 8 drops of red wine.
0 ml.
Catherine Grey couldn't help but cover her face with her hands. These were materials she had heard of before but had never seen before, so she could only look at Evan expectantly and ask:
"Can you get these materials, including the materials for the barbarian recipe you gave me last time? These are materials I've heard of but never seen before."
Hearing Catherine Grey's listless voice, Evan couldn't help but find it a little funny. "You've only been an Extraordinary for a short time, and you're already getting impatient. Many Extraordinary people can't find the materials they need even after several years."
However, the formulas and materials for the arbitrator and lawyer routes are indeed difficult to find, as they are strongly controlled by the royal family. Only MI9 has the opportunity to obtain some.
"I can get some from MI9, but you need to accumulate merits to exchange for them. They can't be obtained with money. So if you want to get these materials as soon as possible, just work as a spy for me and build up your merits."
Hearing Evan's words, Catherine Grey felt a little discouraged, but she quickly perked up and asked:
"So, what tasks do you have for me to do now?"
Evan knew that the demigod craftsman behind her had sold him an extraordinary item with minimal side effects not only as a warning but also as a way to ensure his care for Catherine Grey, so he thought for a moment and said:
"When you attend various gatherings of extraordinary individuals, gather as much information as possible, record it, and submit a report to me every week to see if there is any information that could endanger the national security of the Kingdom of Rune."
At the same time, you should leverage your position as a student at Backlund University to help me understand the research and inventions of the professors and students at the university, to see if there are any projects worth investing in, and you should also submit a report every week.
If a good investment project comes along, I'll need to leverage your expertise to help me draft and review the investment contract, and if necessary, persuade the inventor.
Catherine Grey noted down Evan's request and asked with some doubt:
"The following missions should be considered your personal assignments, not MI9's missions, right? So how am I supposed to accumulate merit points?"
Evan was both annoyed and amused. Helping one's superior with personal tasks was a tremendous honor for a subordinate, and to refuse such a thing was truly defying the natural order. So, he said rather irritably:
"This counts as a merit; I'll help you get the materials later."
Catherine Grey playfully stuck out her tongue, then asked:
"By the way, do you have any requirements for that extraordinary item? You can tell me anything, and I will pass it on to the craftsman. Although I can't meet your requirements 100%, I can still try my best to meet your requirements."
After considering his own situation and the side effects of the "Golden Gaze," Evan spoke:
"I have an extraordinary item made using the 'Hypnotist' extraordinary property of the Audience Path Sequence 6. Its side effect is that for at least half an hour after use, one can completely indulge one's emotions or desires in one aspect for 24 hours."
Please, craftsman, try your best to prevent the side effects of the two extraordinary items from clashing.
As for the effects of this extraordinary item, let's preserve its defensive capabilities as much as possible. If we could design its shape as a bracelet...
The shape of necklaces and other jewelry would be even better.
At the end, Evan suddenly remembered that in Lord of Mysteries, when Klein went to assassinate Tracy, the general in charge of disease, he mentioned that Tracy possessed a diamond-encrusted bracelet, which made her very difficult to harm as long as she wore it.
Because Klein obtained this information in advance, he removed the bracelet before the assassination attempt, so the bracelet was never used, and the book never described which sequence the extraordinary item belonged to.
Evan speculated that it might be an extraordinary item created through the extraordinary characteristics of the Warrior path.
Among those suffering from the disease, Tracy is already among the strongest below demigods, belonging to the demigod reserve of the Witch Cult. Her selection of extraordinary items is of reference value.
So Evan ultimately wanted to follow his choice and hoped to make this extraordinary item into the shape of jewelry to confuse the enemy and make up for his own shortcomings.
Moreover, Evan is also preparing for the future. If he ascends to Sequence 7, neither the Witch Cult nor the Gnostic can solve the problem of him becoming a woman, then jewelry will be even more deceptive.
However, Catherine Grey clearly hadn't expected Evan to make such a request. Having often read "The Romance of the Great Roselle," she quickly conjured up a story in her mind about Evan spending lavishly on the woman he loved, which softened her gaze towards Evan and even made her feel a little jealous.
After Evan finished making his demands and everything that needed to be said between them was cleared up, Catherine Grey put her robe's hood and iron mask back on, nodded to Evan, and left.
After a while, Isengard Stanton, who was wearing nothing, reappeared in the living room. Looking at Evan, who hadn't put his mask back on, he smiled and said:
"It seems you have achieved your goal and now have a stable supply of artisans."
Even Eisinger Stanton felt a hint of bitterness in his voice when he said those words.
"You also deserve credit for this. If you have extraordinary characteristics and want to customize extraordinary items, you can also use this channel."
That lawyer, or rather the craftsman behind her, realized you were helping me, so they were aware of your identity.
Furthermore, the lawyer sold extraordinary items at the party for so long without being tracked down, which is likely due to your protection. They are well aware of this, so you can directly trade with them.
Isengard Stanton nodded slightly, finally feeling a little better, but he quickly realized that he didn't actually have a Sequence 5 extraordinary ability, while Seal Item 2-081 could simulate many extraordinary abilities and could meet many of his needs.
"My assistant sent word from Desishire that Zeril's identity is highly questionable, and he is definitely not a Rune."
His identity, experience, and upbringing were all meticulously disguised; this cannot be accomplished with just manpower and resources.
If we continue the investigation, we should be able to find a whole string of people. What are you going to do now?
Since his last agreement with Evan, Aisinger Stanton has sent his assistant to Deesie County to conduct an in-depth investigation into Zeril's situation.
There was a reason why that assistant was valued by Isengard Stanton; he had investigated a great deal in just a few days.
However, what he found out was a bit unexpected for Evan and Isinger Stanton. They had initially tested and evaluated Zeril based on his accent, eating habits, height, and other factors, and concluded that he was a native of the Kingdom of Rune.
However, the findings of Isengard Stanton's assistant's investigation were the exact opposite of what they had expected, causing Evan to frown and say uncertainly:
"We initially thought that the Fussac Empire wouldn't be so meticulous in training spies, because the cost of training spies in this way would be terrifyingly high, and it would be much more effective to have him take magic potions."
This is the exact opposite of what your assistant found out. What are your thoughts on this?
Evan frowned and patted the documents in his hand, asking for Eisinger Stanton's opinion. "I've had this investigation report for a whole day, and even after using the sealing artifact 2-081, I still can't figure it out. This matter is strange in every way."
If the Fursak Empire went to such lengths to cultivate Zeril, arranging his identity, fabricating his experiences, and even having someone specifically clean up his messes, it must be because they had high hopes for him and wanted him to complete a very important task.
I even suspect that the Fussac Empire might be trying to train him to infiltrate MI9 or the government and the Fifth Palace as a normal person. After all, MI9 is extremely strict with extraordinary individuals but relatively lenient with ordinary people.
But I also investigated many things about Zeryl's arrival in Backlund and found that he had opportunities to access various key departments such as MI9, but he ultimately kept his distance, which I find completely puzzling.
After Eisinger Stanton finished speaking, the entire living room fell silent, with only his pipe still emitting wisps of smoke.
Evan sensed something was amiss in Zeril's behavior. He reconsidered the whole situation from a cost perspective and discovered that the Fursac Empire had invested too many resources in him alone.
For example, while forging an identity for him in Dusit County, he could actually forge several identities for other people.
However, the reports sent back indicated that the Fussac Empire had not done so. It seemed that several undercover spies had been activated for this one identity, which was a waste.
This reminded Evan of his scientific research experiments in his previous life, where enormous amounts of manpower and funding were often spent just for a small mistake in the experiment.
Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean, that's the feeling. Zeril being a spy isn't important; what's important is what the Fussac Empire wants to verify through him.
"If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it. Have your assistant continue the investigation and try to uncover the spy network in Dixie County as soon as possible."
I also need to make some preparations. Once I'm ready, I'll report this matter and try to destroy the spy networks in Backlund and Ducey County in one fell swoop. Then, I'll interrogate Zeryl myself and everything will be clear.
Eisinger Stanton abruptly put down the pipe he had brought to his lips, puzzled as to why Evan had suddenly become so radical; this was unlike his usual style.
But Isengard Stanton's primary concern was finding a quick way to master the potion. Since Evan had made his decision...
He can just carry it out; if anything goes wrong, it's not his fault.
