Chapter 325 Hunting the Rose School Demigods
After parting ways with Mr. Lawrence, Fors put on the golden mask he had obtained from MI9 and went to a corner of a high-rise residential building.
After confirming that no one was around, Fors pressed her hand against the wall and silently recited a pre-set incantation in Old Forsak. Her mask then emitted a faint golden light, and fine, seemingly flowing lines appeared on it, casting an exceptionally complex and mysterious symbol in mid-air.
Once the symbol took shape, it floated onto the wall and expanded, stretching and elongating to form an illusory door that could only accommodate one person at a time.
No one could see where the door led, but Fors stepped out without hesitation, entered the door, and disappeared from the spot!
The illusory door disappeared immediately after Fors stepped through it!
Shortly after Fors left, a phantom gate suddenly appeared in mid-air where they had been standing, and a person stepped out of it.
He looked at the spot where Fors had disappeared with a complicated expression.
It was Mr. Lawrence, who had just parted ways with Fors!
Since it concerned the future of the family, Lawrence dared not be careless in the slightest. Even though it went against his gentlemanly manners, he still decided to use the sealing artifact he had prepared in advance to track Fors.
"It is indeed the 'Eye of Yog.' It seems Miss Fors really is a high-ranking intelligence officer from MI9!"
Lawrence looked at the high wall in front of him with a complicated expression.
Because the so-called "Yog" is none other than Yog Abraham, a famous Sequence 3 demigod in the history of the Abraham family!
He was also the source of his lineage, but when he saw the sealed artifact formed by the extraordinary characteristics left by his ancestors, he was the only old man left in his lineage!
Fors was unaware that Mr. Lawrence was following her, but it didn't matter, because she was using the golden mask to teleport with the power of the MI9 seal, precisely to guard against this.
This is also a reminder to those we meet today not to forget how their ancestors became sealed artifacts, and not to have any improper ideas!
After Fors joined MI9, people kept bowing and greeting her. This was not because they recognized Fors as Evan's former secretary, but because they all recognized that the gold mask on Fors's face was something only a deputy director was qualified to wear!
It's somewhat like the military ranks within MI9, allowing two strangers to quickly determine each other's strength and status.
This was something Evan had specially lent to Fors for today's operation.
Fors also pretended to be reserved, ignoring the respectful greetings from others, and quickly left MI9 to prepare to return to her apartment to wait for Evan to come to her door!
Because leaving MI9 while wearing the golden mask would result in being randomly teleported to various locations in Backlund, Fors removed the mask and left through the main gate of MI9!
The headquarters of MI9 is located in the West Backlund, which is some distance from the Joewood district. In addition, it is already October and it gets dark earlier and earlier. So when Fors rushed back to the apartment, Hugh was already waiting for her at home for a while!
"How did it go? Did you see anyone from that family? Are you being followed?"
Hugh wasn't surprised to see Fors come in without opening the door as usual. Instead, he asked her about her activities that day, while quickly turning to the side and secretly opening a crack in the door to cautiously observe any potential pursuers!
I saw them, but I'm not sure if they were being followed.
However, I modified the mask as we agreed beforehand, so it should be fine!
As Fors took off her coat, she pointed to the mask she had thrown on the coffee table.
"Besides, even if I were really being followed, you wouldn't be able to find anything looking like this!"
According to MI9's data and Evan's account, the Abraham family's "apprentice" system is highly skilled in concealment and teleportation. How could a mere "interrogator" like you possibly discover it so easily?
Hugh wasn't discouraged by Fors, because she was used to her roommate's sharp tongue. Instead, she closed the door and asked about what had happened that day!
To be honest, Hugh originally planned to hide in the shadows to protect and support Fors, but he was persuaded by Evan and Fors together.
They all believed that contacting the Abraham family was not too risky. Although it was an angelic family with a great reputation in the Fourth Age, it had fallen into decline, and they dared not rashly make a move against Fors, who clearly had powerful backers.
Moreover, Fors came to us seeking cooperation, not to start a fight. Even if the Abraham family didn't want to cooperate, they had no reason to take action against Fors!
Hugh was eventually persuaded not to go with Fors to see Lawrence!
"It went quite smoothly. At first, Mr. Lawrence was a bit skeptical of Evan's boasting, but after I mentioned the names of those two angels, he was clearly tempted!"
And in the end, he asked me to help arrange a meeting between him and Evan!
So I can say that I've basically completed the first phase of my task!
As she was talking, Fors threw herself onto the sofa without even taking off her shoes, clearly exhausted from the day!
Hugh placed the Dipsy pie he had bought on his way back on the coffee table in front of Fors, then sat down opposite her and said:
"Judging from their reaction, they must be very eager to cooperate with Evan. In Evan's words, they are going to work together!"
In this way, your path to future promotions is now clear!
Fors lay half-reclined on the sofa, took a bite of Dixie Pie, and felt her mouth taste delicious and her whole body regain its strength!
"That's right, so far things are going smoothly, but I'm worried about whether there will be any unexpected changes along the way."
Alright, let's not talk about Abraham's family for now, let's talk about your situation first!
I left MI9 today. I heard the rewards for last week's operation have been issued? Is there any news about your promotion?
The fact that Fors was able to use Evan's mask without being discovered and even successfully change clothes inside was largely due to the fact that there weren't many people coming and going from MI9 today.
This is because many people went to check the latest internal promotion announcements!
"It's all done. I've been officially promoted to Major and will lead three extraordinary squads. I can also collect a Sequence 6 'Judge' potion at any time!"
"This is all thanks to Evan's help!"
As he spoke, Hugh couldn't help but let out a sigh!
The promotion from captain to major was a significant leap, signifying that Hugh had officially become a high-ranking officer in MI9!
Furthermore, if Hugh can digest the potion quickly, complete the promotion, and become a 'Judge,' according to MI9's internal practice, her rank will automatically rise another level to 'Lieutenant Colonel,' just one level away from Evan's 'Colonel'? So this reward is really substantial!
Even Fors was astonished by the generous reward.
"I didn't expect the royal family to value last week's mission so much, and they actually gave such a big reward!"
I was hoping to surpass your advancement speed once, but I never expected you to be able to obtain the next sequence of potions in one go. It's truly a case of comparison being the death of man!
Considering how easily Hugh obtained the 'Judge' potion, Fors felt indifferent about successfully connecting the Abraham family and Evan today and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel in obtaining the 'Recorder' potion formula!
Hugh shook his head and retorted seriously:
"The Abraham family is an angel family, and they at least possess the angel's potion recipe. If you can open up this channel, your future prospects will be limitless!"
On the contrary, I was just lucky this time that Evan fed me; it's not sustainable. There will be many difficulties in obtaining subsequent potion recipes and materials in the future!
Fors naturally understood what Hugh meant; her words were merely a spontaneous expression of her feelings and she hadn't meant them seriously.
Instead, after hearing Hugh's words, Fors couldn't help but offer words of comfort:
"Actually, you don't need to worry about your future advancement path. Don't forget that Evan's brother is a demigod through the 'Arbitrator' pathway and has your subsequent potion recipes!"
Not to mention that the blasphemous card of the "lawyer" route is now in Mr. Fool's hands.
If you feel that you can no longer proceed through the "arbitrator" route, you can simply change your approach!
Therefore, our future is bright!
Just as the two roommates were looking forward to their bright future, an old clock in the corner of the living room suddenly chimed.
Fors glanced at the clock and realized it was already eight o'clock. Feeling a little strange, he said:
"It's getting late. Evan should have arrived by now according to our agreement. Why hasn't he come yet?"
"Um, is he holding up because of something?"
Hugh glanced at the old clock that was still ringing and made a somewhat uncertain guess.
Because Evan is a very punctual person, but he was late today, which is very unusual!
At this moment, Evan was indeed held back by something.
At the recent tarot reading, Klein, using his identity as "The World," deliberately mentioned "Kapin," making Evan immediately realize that Klein wanted to take action against Kapin!
On this matter, Evan could no longer persuade anyone, so he prepared to personally oversee things, directing Miss Sharon and Marich to take over Capin's legacy at any time, and prepare to become the underground emperor of Backlund!
However, they unexpectedly discovered that the Warren Brotherhood's expansion was so rapid that it created an opportunity for others to exploit.
Among the newly subjugated forces, members of the Rose School have infiltrated and are gradually approaching the Brave Ones Bar!
I believe that as long as they pinpoint Sharon and Marich's exact location, they will definitely deliver a fatal blow!
Anyway, Evan didn't believe the fact that the first East District sweep, which he conducted in cooperation with Miss Sharon, had resulted in heavy losses.
The Rose School will also send some small Karami to hunt down Miss Sharon and her companions, and at least send demigods to participate in the operation.
So when Evan approached Miss Sharon and the others to discuss annexing the underground forces and completely taking control of the underworld of Backlund, it turned into a situation where the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
After several days of observation, Evan discovered that Miss Sharon and Maritch were indeed the last elites of the Rose School's temperance faction, and they soon discovered that the Rose School's hedonistic faction had their eyes on them!
In this situation, their first thought was not to escape, but to use themselves as bait, preparing to launch a counterattack when the opportunity arose.
At this point, Evan was surprised to find that their actions were becoming more and more similar to those in the original "Lord of Mysteries" book. Apart from Klein having successfully advanced to become a "Faceless Man", everything was exactly the same as in the original book!
Sharon and Maritch used the same method as in the original story, creating some clues to lure away the hidden Rose School demigods.
Then they found Klein, who owed them a favor, and formed a hunting team again!
Everything seemed so perfect, and the plot seemed to be developing smoothly, just like the original story!
However, Evan, who had a broader perspective and had remained uninvolved, still discovered the danger!
That is, another demigod from the Rose School has infiltrated Backlund.
His target didn't seem to be Miss Sharon and Maritch, but that didn't stop him from intervening and completely ruining Sharon and Maritch's plan to lure them away.
They did succeed in luring the tiger away, but unfortunately they only managed to lure away one tiger and had no idea there was another tiger passing through Backlund!
Evan had always planned to take action against the demigods of the Rose School, and this was one of the considerations behind his initial friendship with Sharon and Marich.
If it were the Evan of yesteryear, upon discovering that a demigod of the Rose School had appeared in Backlund, he would definitely have gathered his men to gang up on him!
But Evan is now no less than any demigod and is very confident in his strength, so he is prepared to act alone.
After all, it is a demigod who has gone through the "vengeful spirit" stage. It can naturally interact with the spirit world and directly obtain information about "occupation" from the spirit world. It can get early warnings and is very slippery. Like the "demon" in the adjacent path of the "prisoner" path, it is very difficult to catch.
So after assessing his own strength, Evan decided to ambush his opponent alone, without disturbing him as much as possible!
Evan watched as Klein buried explosives in various places and then hid, waiting for his prey to fall into his trap.
Meanwhile, Evan lurked in the shadows further away, waiting for his prey!
Soon, Marich lured their target into the encirclement, and Miss Sharon and Klein joined the battle one after another!
Having successfully ascended to the rank of "Faceless Man" and with the help of the bronze whistle given to them by Mr. Azik, Sharon and Klein quickly gained the upper hand.
Even though their opponents possess the Crimson Crown, which allows "Prisoner" Extraordinary individuals to circumvent the side effects of promotion.
But they weren't flustered at all. Instead, the leader, Steve, the "vengeful spirit," revealed a cruel smile and said:
"It seems Sharon, you only have one cowardly Sequence 6 as your helper. What a waste of Lord Jax's painstaking efforts!"
As he spoke, he pulled a mirror from his clothes and threw it at Sharon, who seemed to be the strongest.
