Light flashed, and one by one, the high-level mages arrived.
"What should we do?"
"Save him first!"
"Save who?"
"Are you stupid? Can the other one still be saved? "
"Use the Great Wishing Spell, he should still be saved."
"Use it if you want!"
"Forget it then."
This was the conversation between two of the high-level mages.
"Search for the soul! Don't let the soul go to the underworld, or it will increase the difficulty of resurrection! "
"Strange, only one soul was found, the other is missing."
"Maybe it was destroyed by the attack. With so many spells just now, it's not surprising that the soul was destroyed."
"Don't care, anyway, as long as the soul that needs to be resurrected is still there."
This was the conversation between several other high-level mages.
After that, it was time to resurrect.
The Highest Tower, of course, had a temple and a priest. After a while, the high-level priest from the temple of the Lord of Mystery had arrived and performed the Great Resurrection Spell.
The body of the head of intelligence was somewhat mutilated, and the most troublesome part was that a part of his head was missing. Ordinary resurrection spells were useless on such a corpse, and only high-level resurrection spells could solve this problem.
This spell was powerful, but the price was also very high. The body of the high-level priest would be overloaded due to excessive absorption of Divine Power, and it would take at least half a year to recover. And to fully restore his strength, it would be impossible without two or three years.
But even the effect of the high-level resurrection spell was not perfect. The head of intelligence, who was killed by Wood once, would also fall into a state of weakness. Because his brain was almost completely blown up, his thinking would be chaotic for a long time. Even if he was recuperated, there might be side effects such as slow reaction, memory loss, and so on.
There was no doubt that he could no longer be the head of intelligence, a position that required a clear mind.
Wood's sword was originally aimed at the center of his eyebrows for this purpose.
As an ace spy, although Wood's own magic ability was not strong, he still had a very deep understanding of magic, especially the various resurrection spells, which he knew very well.
He was very clear that unless legendary spells like the Great Wishing Spell were used, even the high-level resurrection spell could not resurrect a person whose brain had been blown up without side effects.
When spies carried out assassinations, under the premise that the conditions were not sufficient to make the opponent unable to resurrect, they had to do their best to make the opponent no longer a threat after resurrection. This was a specialized course that needed to be learned.
That course that year, Wood got a full score.
Decades later, he used practice to prove that his full marks were not fake. He had indeed studied very well.
The director of intelligence who had just been resurrected was escorted away. The high-level mages also left one after another. The deputy in charge of espionage stood there silently, looking at the place where Wood had turned into ashes with a gloomy expression.
"There's nothing to sigh about. You wouldn't have thought that he would do such a thing." Instead, it was the former spy who came over to comfort him. "You'll definitely be interrogated in a few days, but I think you'll pass. After all, this kind of thing … no one can think of. "
"I shouldn't have persuaded him to come back with me."
"How should I put it … Some mistakes can't be made. Making them will only lead to death. Whether you try to persuade him or not, it won't make a difference to him. "
"That way … maybe he'll keep running. He's very good at running away. No one can catch him. "
"But do you think he'll be willing to keep running?"
"… No, he is so proud. He would rather die like this."
"So for him, this is already the best ending." The former spy, now the Great Patrolling Mage of the Highest Tower, sighed. "I can also see that there are probably some grievances between them. Sigh! This kind of situation where personal grievances are involved in work is really annoying! "
"But he can still be resurrected," the director said faintly.
"There's no other way. His surname is Lampereus, after all." The patrolling mage sighed. "My work for today is almost over. How about going for a drink with me?"
"Well, I have nothing to do anyway …"
When the last group of people gradually walked away, on the empty street, Sui Xiong smiled and said to Wood's soul, which he had cast a spell to hide, "Now that you have nothing to do anyway, how about jumping ship and working for me?"
Wood looked at him deeply. After a long time, he asked, "Did you arrange all this?"
"How is that possible! How could I have such great ability! "Sui Xiong smiled and shook his head." I was just watching from the side. "
Wood's face was full of disbelief. Looking at his eyes, if one were to use the internet language on Earth, it could probably be interpreted as "I don't read much, don't lie to me" or something like that.
"I really didn't lie to you!" Sui Xiong naturally understood what he meant. He sighed and said, "Although I am a little unreliable in doing things, I still have integrity. I really don't like this kind of digging a hole to bury people. Besides, I have always respected those who have ideals and principles. You insist on being loyal to the Commonwealth of Mifata, which is a little silly, but silly enough to be respected. How could I do such a thing to hurt you? "
Wood still didn't seem to believe it, but he didn't have any particular reason to "not believe" at the moment. So, he thought for a moment and asked, "The panacea that Grand Consul Felix used to save my life back then, was it also bestowed by you?"
"It was given by me. I don't think people like you should die in such a meaningless way."
"Then do you think it's meaningful for me to die like this now?"
"Whether it's meaningful or not, it's up to you, not me," Sui Xiong said with a smile. "Do you think the way you die now is meaningful?"
Wood was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then smiled.
"I think it's meaningful. Although I hope for a better result, at least this result is not unacceptable. No matter what, at least I have removed some obstacles for the development and progress of the Federation. "
Sui Xiong laughed and said, "It seems that these years, you have learned a lot in the Republic of Northwest. Things like development and progress come out of your mouth. "
Wood was stunned by his words. He thought about it carefully and sighed softly.
"You're right. These years, in the Republic of Northwest … I have really learned a lot." He sighed deeply and said, "I originally wanted to contribute these things to the motherland and use them to promote the progress of the Federation. But it turns out that I thought too simply. "
Sui Xiong smiled and patted his shoulder. "Forget it, it's all in the past. There is a saying that 'the dead are gone.' You are already dead. You died for the Commonwealth of Mifata, and that's enough. "
As he said this, he returned to the original topic. "You have done enough for the Federation. Now, are you interested in working for me? Don't worry, I won't let you become the enemy of the Federation. "
This time, Wood only hesitated for a moment and lowered his head to Sui Xiong.
"I have learned a lot in the Republic of Northwest, and you have saved me more than once … As long as I don't become the enemy of the Federation, I will do anything you want me to do."
