Chapter 552

"Where should we start the investigation?"

Wendy's large eyes revealed a thoughtful expression. She stretched out a slender finger and placed it on her chin, making a cute expression as she pondered.

Feng Ye watched her ponder with a smile on his face. He didn't say anything until she thought for a while. Only then did he smile and say, "Since it's a merchant ship that travels across the continent, they definitely have a branch here in Albares. You should first go there and ask for information."

"Ah! That's right. "

Wendy immediately came to a realization when she heard Feng Ye's reminder. She then revealed an embarrassed expression. This S-rank mission was indeed a test for her.

After all, although she had more than enough power, she wasn't even thirteen years old yet.

"It should be … hmm, here."

Feng Ye took out the map and pointed to an area marked on the map.

Wendy took the map and looked at it for a while. After figuring out the location, she gathered her courage and said:

"Then I'll go first."

"Well, I'll follow you."

Feng Ye smiled.

…

Half a day later.

Wendy arrived at the branch of the merchant guild that issued the mission in Albares.

She soon learned that in the vicinity of Albares, there was a group of pirates that was very active in the past six months. This group of pirates was a very powerful group. It wasn't only their Chamber of Commerce that suffered, but also some other cargo ships, including the Chamber of Commerce in Albares.

These Chambers of Commerce had united and asked the Albares Empire to investigate, but for some reason, the Empire had been delaying this matter and there was no progress at all.

In desperation, the Chamber of Commerce chose to issue a mission and seek the assistance of Magic Shooters.

"I still don't have any clues."

"What should we do next?"

Wendy listened to the information given by the Chamber of Commerce and rubbed her forehead anxiously.

Feng Ye smiled and said: "No, isn't it obvious that we have an investigation route?"

Wendy looked at Feng Ye in surprise.

Feng Ye looked at her and said: "Albares is a Magic Empire. In this country, almost all Magic Shooters are ruled by the Empire. The system structure is much tighter than Ishugar."

"Ishugar's Magic Council doesn't have absolute power over many Magic Shooters, but Albares is a magic world ruled by the Empire."

"In other words, in the entire Albares Empire, as long as it involves Magic Shooters, it's impossible to hide it from the Empire's officials."

Wendy was confused at first when she heard Feng Ye's words. Then, a trace of astonishment appeared on her face: "Brother Feng Ye, you mean … the Empire is hiding this matter?!"

"Of course."

Feng Ye laughed and said: "In Albares, even if it's at sea, as long as the Empire wants to investigate something, it's impossible for them not to find it. It's also impossible for them to deal with a group of pirates. So, this matter must have some connection with the Empire's officials. You can follow this information route and investigate in detail."

"Okay!"

Wendy's large eyes lit up as she clenched her small fists and nodded.

With Feng Ye accompanying her, she felt that her fighting spirit had been ignited.

Wendy quickly took action.

Just like Feng Ye's judgment, when she tried to openly investigate and contact the Empire, just like the Chamber of Commerce, she was treated coldly by the Empire. All sorts of excuses were made, and there was no real progress.

In this situation, Wendy quickly made a decision. She decided to secretly investigate and try to sneak into the Empire's intelligence agency at night to search for documents related to this matter.

"A bold idea, it's worth a try."

Feng Ye encouraged her decision.

And so.

At night.

A twelve-year-old lolita had sneaked into the Empire's intelligence agency.

The Albares Empire's intelligence agency was naturally very strict. Although Wendy wasn't weak, Sky Dragons weren't good at hiding, so it would be difficult for her to sneak in silently. But with Feng Ye's help, it would be much easier.

Feng Ye only did one thing, and that was to temporarily disable all the magic formations in the Empire's intelligence agency, causing all alarms and defensive magic formations to become ineffective.

In this situation, although there were guards patrolling, Wendy was, after all, a Dragon Slayer Magic Shooter. Her hearing, smell, and vision were all very sharp. Although she was young, she was very agile. She easily avoided the guards and snuck into the depths of the intelligence agency to investigate.

Feng Ye watched from the outside.

At the same time, he casually glanced at the surroundings.

He didn't deliberately investigate. To him, there were no secrets in the entire world. Of course, he could see through the reason for a mere mission. It was just that he wasn't very interested in this mission. He was only interested in Wendy … Yes, he was interested in nurturing Wendy, so he didn't look at it in detail.

Now that he was helping Wendy infiltrate the Albares Empire's intelligence agency, he also casually glanced at it. His gaze was able to see through the past and the future, and he quickly understood the cause and effect.

"As expected, it's still a boring story."

After understanding the situation, Feng Ye yawned.

Just as he had guessed, there were people in the Empire's intelligence agency who had colluded with the pirates. That was why the pirates were able to get away scot-free, and the Empire would always use all sorts of excuses to say that they hadn't finished investigating the matter yet.

However.

Just as Feng Ye was about to retract his gaze, he suddenly froze. He looked towards the interior of the intelligence agency and helplessly shook his head and laughed. "This child …"

Wendy fell!

That's right!

When she was rummaging through the intelligence documents about this incident, she went to pull up a very tall cabinet. As a result, she accidentally tripped, and the entire cabinet fell down.

Although she was a powerful Magic Shooter and wouldn't be injured by a cabinet, the commotion she made could no longer be hidden, and many nearby patrolling guards were alerted.

"Who?!"

Someone shouted and rushed towards the direction of the sound.

Wendy was a little panicked. She couldn't care less about the cabinet and directly tried to escape by jumping out of the window. She wanted to escape, but before she could run more than a few steps, she was surrounded by a group of guards.

Seeing this scene, Feng Ye helplessly stretched out his hand to cover his forehead. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Who are you! How did you get in?! "

"How dare you infiltrate the Empire's intelligence agency!"

The patrolling guards each held a magic weapon in their hands and shouted as they stared at Wendy. They didn't relax at all just because Wendy was a little loli.

After all, infiltrating the Empire's intelligence agency was an extremely serious matter. Moreover, from the magic waves on Wendy's body, it was obvious that she wasn't an ordinary little girl, but a powerful Magic Shooter!
