The speed of the public carriage was not fast. Even if it was a safe journey, it still took a long time to travel from Void City to Pyroxene City.
In this period of time, Bei Feng rarely went out, and did not interact with the other passengers at all. She also specially rested for two days in Dragon-roar Town and Gold-panning Town. On the one hand, she wanted to show the appearance of a weak female artist, and on the other hand, she wanted to stagger with the passengers who had been traveling with her all the way to reduce the possibility of traveling together.
But she would never have thought that there was a companion who had been following her all the time, and she had never noticed it.
When the public carriage stopped at the station of Pyroxene City, Bei Feng deliberately waited for a while, and then left the carriage at the end of the passengers. After getting off the carriage, she looked a little tired. After a short rest, she asked the passers-by on the side of the road about the residence of Mr. Wood, the sculptor.
Wood was already a celebrity in Pyroxene City, and even ordinary passers-by knew him. However, the passers-by did not know where he lived, but the warm-hearted man did not intend to let Bei Feng ask others for directions. He took her to the patrolling guards in the city and asked the guards for Wood's address.
When she was taken to the guards by the warm-hearted man, Bei Feng's heartbeat was obviously faster. Although her face looked calm, in Sui Xiong's eyes, the meaning of nervousness and fear was obvious.
(Hehe, this woman is still a little worse than Wood!)
Sui Xiong snickered in his heart as he watched Bei Feng negotiate with the guard and reveal that he was Mr. Wood's long-lost wife. After that, he was escorted by the guard, whose eyes were wide with shock, to Mr. Wood's wood carving workshop.
Of course, Wood did not know Bei Feng, but when she said, "I heard about you in Cape Town," he immediately understood her identity.
What place was Cape Town? It was the small town where the Grey Pigeon Magic Tools Store was located.
Who else would mention that place except for federal spies?
So he immediately showed a look of surprise and joy, admitted Bei Feng's identity to the guard, and insisted on giving the guard a small gift to express his gratitude.
In fact, at that moment, the expressions of the two of them were slightly different. The guard was a retired adventurer, and with his eyesight, it was not impossible for him to see something. However, Sui Xiong secretly disturbed his thoughts, so that he did not notice these.
If he was exposed by the guards, how boring would that be!
With this idea in mind, Sui Xiong watched the two enter the workshop and sit down face to face.
'Have you come to take my place? 'said Wood happily.' I can go home at last? '
"Go home" was a spy's jargon, meaning to hand over the mission and return home.
Of course, for these spies who were loyal to the Mifata Federation, there was really no difference between going back and going home.
Most of them were orphans, and the Federation was their home.
Seeing Wood's joyful expression, Bei Feng felt a little suspicious in his heart. This fellow's reaction seemed a little strange.
Logically speaking, if Wood had already betrayed them or had the intention to betray them, he should have been surprised or angry when he saw her.
Over the years, although his work wasn't outstanding enough, he did a good job lurking around. Asking him to return under such circumstances was tantamount to wasting all his years of hiding. How could he not be angry?
However, she didn't know that Wood had been distressed during this period of time and had always wanted to return to the Federation.
As a senior spy, he was quite clear about the policies of the Mifata Federation. He knew that the information he had was probably not enough to change the minds of the Federation's higher-ups. There was a 70% to 80% chance that the Federation would still join the alliance against the Republic of Northwest and participate in the attack.
This made him very worried.
He could guarantee that this attack would not have any effect. Maybe it could break the myth of peace in Void City, or maybe it could kill or injure a group of civilians. That was all, and nothing more.
In that case, would there be any other effect besides damaging the reputation of the Republic of Northwest?
Obviously, there was no other effect.
However, even such an insignificant result could only be achieved by wasting the lives of high-level and even Legendary-realm powerhouses.
As a ranger who had not yet stepped into the high-level level, Wood really felt that it was a pity.
So he really hoped to be able to return to the Mifata Federation and introduce his ideas to his superiors face to face. He would tell them what he had seen and heard over the years, emphasize the choice between "war" and "peace", and talk about some life experiences.
Not only that, but returning to the Mifata Federation could also help him get rid of the dilemma in his heart and return to his normal pace.
Recently, Wood's heart had been in a dilemma. He was worried that he would be discovered, but he also hoped that his most important piece of information could play a role. These were not important. What was important was that he was in a dilemma between his loyalty to the Mifata Federation and his good impression of Pyroxene City.
His loyalty to the Federation was unquestionable. It was really as solid and indestructible as a rock prison. But over the years, the little things that happened in Pyroxene City and the kindness of the people nourished his heart like the spring breeze and rain.
No matter how solid a stone was, it would be worn through by dripping water.
Although Wood was unwilling to admit it, in his heart, he was not without some intention of wavering.
In particular, after he sent out the last piece of information, he thought that he was going to die, but unexpectedly nothing happened and he was still living a peaceful life. This made him even more confused and a little doubtful about his consistent principles.
To treat kindness with kindness and to treat malice with malice was Wood's life principle.
However, Pyroxene City was only kind to him, without the slightest malice.
Loyalty to the Federation was his principle. In the case of a conflict between principles and principles, he was also in a dilemma.
His original intention was to escape with death, but since he did not die, his thoughts were more active during this time, and he thought of many things that he had not thought of in the past.
Was he really not exposed?
Or … although he had been exposed, Pyroxene City and the Republic of Northwest did not have any malice towards him?
He did not know, did not want to know, and did not dare to know.
He was afraid that if he knew the truth, he would not be able to stick to his principles.
So when he saw Bei Feng coming and guessed that the other party was coming to replace him, he was really very happy.
His superior was really far-sighted and considerate of him everywhere. Knowing that his current situation was a little embarrassing, he sent someone to replace him!
This idea was obviously too naive, but Wood could only think so now.
As for some other thoughts, they were forcibly extinguished by him as soon as they emerged a little.
Those things must not be thought about!
But the little ripples in his heart could not be hidden from Sui Xiong, who was floating above their heads.
Sui Xiong smiled and quietly watched the development of things.
Intuition told him that it seemed that this matter was not only very interesting, but maybe there would be some special gains …
