Chapter 521: Chapter 61Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wood did not know that his message had not been sent to the Grey Pigeon Magic Props Shop immediately, but had been sent to the Holly Hall of the church of the Void Mask in Void City instead.
In fact, Wood’s ident.i.ty had been exposed long ago, and the plan for him had already been completed. Every piece of information he sent out would be secretly intercepted halfway and reviewed by Grand Governor Felix. Then the information could be returned to the way it was supposed to go.
Even if he used the transportation portal to deliver his messages, there was no exception.
In terms of transportation portal technology, n.o.body in the world was more powerful than Sui Xiong. Only a few G.o.ds would be as powerful as him. The interception transportation portal in the Holy Hall of Void City was made by Sui Xiong. It could effectively intercept all the information involving the Northwest Republic, both inside and outside.
It was Felix who had suggested to make this transportation portal. However, Felix herself did not realize that the first time the interception transportation portal had played a role was in intercepting Wood’s confidential information.
“He’s very cautious this time.” Looking at the secret letter, the deputy director of the Office of Fis.h.i.+ng and Hunting Resources Investigation, c.l.i.to, frowned. He was responsible for intelligence work. “Not only did the letter use the transportation portal, but it also uses cryptic words that I have never seen before.”
“Is there any important information in the secret letter?” Felix asked.
“No. n.o.body has ever been found to use these kinds of cryptic words before. Perhaps only the high-leveled spies in the Mifata Federation can understand it.” c.l.i.to had become more and more adapted to his work. He now knew a great deal of confidential information from all over the world and could understand a lot of different cryptic words. It was not difficult to design a secret language for a high-level spy; in fact, it was quite necessary to do so.
But, n.o.body expected Wood’s level to be so high.
“It’s so incredible! I always thought that he was a low-level spy and would be hidden somewhere for all his life…” Felix muttered to herself. “I didn’t know that he was such a big guy.”
“People who can be sent out as spies aren’t normally big guys,” c.l.i.to shook his head and said. “I can only say that he is a high-level spy beyond our expectations.”
“Don’t tangle with such small matters. What about this information? Do you have any ways to decipher it?
c.l.i.to looked at the information carefully, thought for a moment and shook his head.
To decipher an encrypted message, a prophecy spell called “Deciphering Cipher-text” could be used. Although the spell was very difficult, there was no shortage of such talents in the Northwest Republic.
However, the prophecy spell could not be used to decipher a doc.u.ment written in a man-made language. They could only use the “common language” to try to find out the writer’s meanings—not the meanings of the words written in the doc.u.ment, but the ideas of the writer.
At first glance, it seemed to make no difference. Generally speaking, the writer’s ideas were the content of the doc.u.ment. But for professional spies, they could think of something else when they wrote a doc.u.ment. The ideas left on the doc.u.ment were totally different from what the writer thought.
If this doc.u.ment had used a unique man-made language, there was no way to decipher it by magic. If one broke it like an actual piece of cipher text, they would get a mess of worthless text. If one read the writer’s mind, they would get irrelevant content.
There were only two ways to decipher such a message.
The first way was to use the legendary spell to directly trace the content of this message, and it required a large-scale ceremony and a lot of time. Of course, the cost would be very high as well.
The second way was to try to decipher this kind of man-made language. It would take professional linguists and archaeologists a lot of time to decipher it and inevitably, they would make some mistakes.
But for them, time was certainly not enough.
The interception transportation portal could intercept the message, but it could not intercept it for too long. Otherwise, it was likely to be perceived by Wood easily.
In that case, they could only use the unconventional way.
“It’s a little humiliating to bother Your Majesty for such a message,” c.l.i.to sighed and said. “As an intelligence chief, I’m so ashamed of myself!”
“You are just the deputy director of the Office of Fis.h.i.+ng and Hunting Resources Investigation, under the Ministry of Agriculture,” Felix reminded him. “Intelligence work is just your part-time job.”
“My part-time job’s salary is almost three times that of my own job.”
“There are many people whose part-time income is three times that of their main jobs, but unless you resign, your position will always be that,” Felix smiled and said. “Are you interested in resigning and then concentrating on being an intelligence director? The salary can be improved a little more.”
c.l.i.to thought about it and shook his head.
“The t.i.tle ‘Intelligence Director’ is too ugly to hear. I can consider being a writer.”
They went to the prayer room and reported this incident to Sui Xiong. A few seconds later, Sui Xiong sent out his incarnation and deciphered this doc.u.ment with Divine Power.
No matter how difficult the encryption of the doc.u.ment was, it was child’s play for Sui Xiong, a G.o.d who had studied Divine Power in such fields as knowledge and culture. He could read the doc.u.ment directly from the perspective of the source of the world.
Whatever Wood thought about when he wrote the doc.u.ment, it would not change the content of the doc.u.ment itself. What Sui Xiong read was the original content of this doc.u.ment.
A moment later, a doc.u.ment written in common language was handed over to Felix. Felix and c.l.i.to looked at the doc.u.ment carefully and could not help but laugh at each other.
“Wood is such a good guy!” Felix said with a smile. “I was a little sad when I gave him the panacea before. Now it seems that the panacea was not given to the wrong person.”
“He is a good man. His works of art can directly reflect his heart. His works are full of warm and strong emotions, which obviously show that he is a kind and strong-willed man!”
Sui Xiong curled his lip after hearing c.l.i.to’s words and thought that his statement was untenable. The German dictator, Hitler’s paintings were also warm, meticulous and rigorous. Although his level was not high, at least not as good as Sui Xiong himself, a little human concern could be seen in his paintings. However, as a matter of result, Hitler also ma.s.sacred about six million people.
Since there was no problem with this doc.u.ment, it was unnecessary to continue intercepting this doc.u.ment. A few minutes later, this emergency doc.u.ment was sent to the Grey Pigeon Magic Props Shop.
Of course, those spies at the intelligence station of Mifata Federation could not understand the doc.u.ment, but they knew the importance of the doc.u.ment and sent it to the Information Center of the Highest Tower immediately.
A few minutes later, the doc.u.ment that had been deciphered was sent to the intelligence director of the Mifata Federation.
The intelligence director read the doc.u.ment carefully at first but frowned when they read only half of it. They even became very angry when they read all of it.
“This guy… Does he think of himself as a somebody? How dare he make comments on the federal policy?!”
The intelligence director growled angrily and then issued an order. Soon, a trained female spy set out from the Highest Tower and arrived at Void City through the transportation portal.
She would kill Wood and take over his job.
…
At this time, Wood was still working hard in the sculpture room.
He was in a very relaxed mood with a smile on his lips; he had no idea of what he was about to encounter.
