The speed of the coach was not very fast, and so it took a long time to get from Void City to Pyroxene Town .

During this period, North Wind had no conversations with the other passengers . She spent two days in Dragon-Roar Town and Gold-Panning Town for the rest . She didn’t want to be with the other travelers and wanted to reduce the possibility of being on the same road with the same passengers .

She never imagined that there would be a guy on top of her head who was always following her . But she never found out .

When the coach stopped at Pyroxene Town Station, North Wind waited deliberately for some time before leaving the coach . After getting out of the coach, she looked a little tired . After a short rest, she asked the pedestrians by the road about the sculptor, Mr . Wood’s address .

Mr . Wood was a celebrity in Pyroxene Town . Everyone knew him . However, this pedestrian did not know where Mr . Wood lived . The pedestrian took her to the guards who were patrolling the city and asked the guards for Wood’s address .

When taken by this pedestrian to look for the guards, North Wind was very nervous . Although she pretended to be calm, Sui Xiong knew she was nervous and fearful .

Ha ha, this woman is easier to see through than Mr . Wood!

Sui Xiong laughed and looked at them . North Wind said that she was Mr . Wood’s wife who had been lost for many years . Then, accompanied by the guard who was surprised, she went to Wood’s woodcarving workshop .

Wood certainly did not know who North Wind was, but when North Wind said, “I heard about you in Cape Town,” Mr . Wood understood immediately .

Where was Cape Town? It was a town where the Grey Pigeon Magic Shop was located . The Grey Pigeon Magic Shop was famous for its magic props, and only federal spies would mention this place .

Mr . Wood immediately pretended to be very surprised and joyful, admitted that North Wind was indeed his wife . He insisted on giving the guard a small gift to express his gratitude .

In fact, at that moment, the expression of North Wind was slightly weird . The guard was a retired adventurer, so it was easy for him to notice this . However, Sui Xiong secretly disturbed the guard’s thoughts so that the guard would not say anything .

What a bore it would be if something was said by that guard!

When the guard left, Mr . Wood and North Wind entered the workshop and sat down face to face .

“Are you here to replace me?” Wood said happily, “Can I go home?”

The idea of “home” was jargon for spies . Home meant handing over the task and returning to base .

For those who were loyal to the Mifata Federation, there was no difference between returning to his country and returning to his home . Most of the spies were orphans, and the Mifata Federation was their only home .

Looking at Wood’s happy face, the North Wind had some doubts in her mind . It was weird . If Wood had betrayed the Mifata Federation or had the intention of betrayal, he would have been surprised or angry to see her .

Over the years, although he had not done his job well enough, he successfully hid his identity and built a reputation here . In this case, there was no way to let him return home . If the high officials of the Mifata Federation let him back home, it meant they were dissatisfied with his work and that he had failed his task . How could Wood be happy?

But she didn’t know that Wood had been in trouble all the time and wanted to go back to the Mifata Federation .

As a senior spy, he was quite clear about the policy of the Mifata Federation . He knew that his information was not enough to change the decisions of the high-level officials . There was a high possibility that the Federation would join an unfavorable alliance against the Republic of Northwest and attack this place .

That made him worried .

He could guarantee that the attack would not have any effects . It would only disturb the peaceful life of the civilians of Void City . That was all . It was meaningless for the Federation to join an unfavorable alliance to attack this place . Besides, such a meaningless attack would take the lives of high-ranked or legendary masters . Wood really felt that that was a pity and waste . He knew how hard it was to cultivate a legendary master .

Wood really looked forward to returning to the Mifata Federation and so introduced his ideas to these high-level officials . He wanted to tell them what he had seen and heard over the years, and emphasized the choice between “war” and “harmony . ”

Not only that, returning to the Mifata Federation could help him get rid of his trouble and return to his normal life .

Wood was in a dilemma lately . He feared that he would be discovered and hoped that his important information would work . Actually, these didn’t matter to him at all . What mattered was that he was in a dilemma between his loyalty to the Mifata Federation and his affection for Pyroxene Town .

His loyalty to the Federation was beyond doubt . Although his heart was solid as a rock, over the years, everyone in Pyroxene Town was so kind and nice to him . The people’s goodwill had softened his heart .

No matter how solid the stone was, it would be worn down by constant contact . Although Wood was unwilling to admit it, his mind was wavering .

After he sent out his last piece of information, he was supposed to be dead, but nothing happened . He still lived in peace and stability . He was confused and had a little doubt about his own principles .

To treat goodwill with goodwill and malice with malice was Wood’s principle of life . However, Pyroxene Town had only goodwill and no malice towards him . Faithfulness to the Mifata Federation was also his principle, so he was in a dilemma because there was a conflict between his principles .

He thought he would die, but he was still alive . His mind became more active during this period, so he thought over many things that he had never thought about in the past .

Did no one know that he was really a spy? No one?

Or maybe someone had known, but they didn’t tell anyone .

Wood did not know for sure nor did he want to know . He feared that if he knew the truth, he would not be able to adhere to his principles .

When he saw North Wind coming and guessed that she was coming to replace him, he was really happy .

These high officials were far-sighted and thoughtful towards their subordinates . They knew that his current situation was somewhat awkward, so they sent North Wind to replace him .

This idea was obviously naive, but Wood could only think like this . As for other ideas, he was reluctant to think about them . There were no other ideas!

Sui Xiong who was floating above them knew every thought of Wood’s . He smiled and quietly watched them .

His intuition told him that it would not only be very interesting but also very rewarding to watch these events unfold .
