After spending a lot of time and effort, Sui Xiong finally succeeded in taking Wood under his command.
If one were to consider it from the perspective of combat power, this would definitely be a loss that outweighed the gains. Wood was just a high-level ranger. Even with his spellcaster level, he had not yet reached the level of a "pseudo-legendary." Among Sui Xiong's subordinates, there were so many Legendary Masters that he could not count them all on two hands. It did not matter if he had one or not.
However, Sui Xiong felt that it was worth it.
This was because Wood was not an ordinary talent, but a rare intelligence talent. Moreover, he was one of the best.
The intelligence work of the Republic of Northwest was currently led by Clito. This former ranger was good at tracking, sneaking, hiding, stealing, and many other special skills. However, when it came to intelligence analysis and thinking, he was a complete amateur.
Relying on the strength of a Legendary Master, he could easily sneak into most places and steal all kinds of things he wanted. He could also silently send someone who was unfavorable to the Republic of Northwest to the underworld. The other party might not even know how they died. He could also follow any clues and find all kinds of clues that others tried hard to hide.
However, his abilities were limited to this.
He was a good thief, a good assassin, a good hunter, or even a good policeman … but he was not a good spy.
For example, not long ago, he discovered a group of people spying on the God of Agriculture, Wizard Damwade, whom Sui Xiong had chosen. According to Sui Xiong's thoughts, he could use his powerful strength to secretly observe and see what these people were doing. He could also directly capture them and interrogate them about their origins … but Clito cleanly and neatly swung his knife. Oh, no, he swung his sword. Swish, swish, swish, swish. The group of spies were cut into pieces and looked like they were in a children's movie that needed to be censored.
After Sui Xiong found out, he was speechless.
Why was this guy so violent? Also, don't you think your methods are very problematic?
You are a spy! A cultured person! Why do you use your fists, muscles, and swords to think? Have you ever seen a spy who fights and kills all day?
Sui Xiong sighed, but he did not know how to explain to the self-satisfied Clito. Thus, he was even more determined to make Wood his subordinate.
Although he had spent a lot of time and energy on this, he had finally achieved his goal.
With the addition of Wood, the original shortcomings of the Republic of Northwest's intelligence work would be made up for. Sui Xiong finally did not have to worry about whether the intelligence chief, whose combat power was at least two streets above his professional abilities, would make some mistakes that would make him not know whether to laugh or cry.
Clito was only suited to be a lone ranger or lead a small team to battle. He was not suited to be a manager. He did not have the talent.
In the end, only a true professional like Wood could handle such a highly professional matter.
Sui Xiong smiled and brought Wood back to his own God Kingdom. He also summoned the God of Spell Casters, Lamperus, who had been watching from afar. As for what Lamperus would think … Since he did not show up at that time, it meant that he had acquiesced.
For believers that they truly valued, the gods would not be stingy to personally fight for them. For example, when the Legendary Necromancer Tu Ya 'an moved to the Republic of Northwest, the God of Spell Casters had personally visited Sui Xiong and said, "I've had my eye on this person for a long time and have been training him all this time. You can't cut him off."
Of course, Sui Xiong would not cut him off, but he felt that Lamperus' idea was too one-sided. Tu Ya 'an clearly wanted to pursue immortality. If he wanted to return to the God Kingdom after his death, who knew how long he would have to wait? Maybe he would have to wait until the end of time.
In comparison, Wood was better. He had the ability and was a professional. The key was that he was a mortal and could not live for too long. At most, he would have to wait for a hundred or eighty years before he would obediently report to the God Kingdom.
If it was Tu Ya 'an … As far as Sui Xiong knew, among the Demigods in the world today, there were quite a number of people who had appeared not long after the formation of the Great Circulation and the rebirth of the world. Although most of them were in a state of seclusion, if there were no accidents, no matter how long it took, they would continue to live — unless the world was destroyed again.
Because he felt that he was wiser than Lamperus, Sui Xiong was in a good mood. When he was helping Wood to resurrect, he was smiling.
Wood did not know what was going on, but as a spy, he did not have the bad habit of asking random questions, so he remained silent.
However, when he saw the body that Sui Xiong was preparing for him to resurrect, he finally spoke.
"Please modify my figure and appearance," he said. "It would be best if they were very different from the past."
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment. He stopped what he was doing and turned to look at him.
"Do you know that this will reduce the degree of compatibility between your soul and body?"
Wood raised his eyebrows. "I know now."
"Then, do you still insist that I modify this body?"
Wood pondered for a moment and still nodded.
"Why?" Sui Xiong asked curiously.
Wood laughed bitterly and said, "It's just a farewell to the past. The past me is dead, and now I hope to live with a new appearance. "
"This is just deceiving yourself. You are still you after all," Sui Xiong said.
"But at least it can give me some psychological comfort," Wood said. "Also, it can also reduce some unnecessary trouble."
"Trouble?" Sui Xiong sneered and patted him on the shoulder. "Let me tell you one thing. My subordinates have never been afraid of any 'trouble'!"
There was a fierce murderous look on his simple and honest jellyfish face. "Over the years, those who have given us trouble basically won't bother others anymore. Recently, we have fewer and fewer troubles … To be honest, I'm still a little bit not used to it. "
"If there is trouble, that's the best. I'm just bored."
Wood was speechless. This new boss was really domineering. The most important thing was that his brilliant achievements over the years were indeed worthy of such a domineering speech.
But he finally convinced Sui Xiong. After all, Sui Xiong did not have the bad habit of being stubborn and making others uncomfortable.
A few minutes later, Wood got up from the ground and looked at his new appearance in the mirror that was temporarily changed next to him.
He was completely different from the handsome but obviously not young artist in the past. Now he was a tall and handsome young man, at least a head taller than before. He had broad shoulders and a thick body, which made people feel that he was strong and powerful at first glance. And he could also clearly feel that there was amazing power in his body. It even made him feel that as long as he clenched his fist, he could even crush iron into slag.
"Is it my illusion? I feel full of power. " He could not help but murmur to himself, "If it's not an illusion, maybe I can fight with a dragon even if I'm bare-handed."
"Of course it's not an illusion," Sui Xiong said with a smile. "How can the body I created be weak! Although you look like a human now, you are actually a legendary creature. "
He paused for a moment, and then said, "Moreover … even among legendary creatures, you are considered relatively strong!"
