Meg didn't see Ferdinand outside the restaurant until the restaurant was closed for business.
The other party was a man of honor. At least he didn't affect the restaurant's normal business.
"Mr. Meg, I'm from the Underground City. Do you have time to talk?" Ferdinand went straight to the point.
"Please come in." Meg didn't show any signs of surprise. He turned sideways to let Ferdinand in.
There was no wine, only a pot of tea. The steam rising from the pot hovered between the two of them.
"Today's dinner was delicious." Ferdinand spoke first.
"Thank you." Meg nodded slightly. This compliment sounded friendly, so he didn't continue to keep a straight face. He asked, "Mr. Ferdinand, what brings you here so late at night?"
"Today's visit is firstly to apologize to The Wind Forest World on behalf of the Underground City Federation. Currently, the military is trying their best to track down the culprit.
Secondly, we want to exchange for that Mech from you. Currently, we have limited information. If we want to find the culprit, we need more evidence, "Ferdinand said politely.
Were all the Extraordinaires in the Underground City so humble? Meg was a little surprised. Ferdinand's humble attitude almost made him think that he had the upper hand.
But the other party's strength and background were far superior to his. From the moment they sat at this table, it was a completely unequal negotiation. But the other party was actually so polite. He apologized first and was willing to make an exchange instead of asking him to hand over the Mech.
"He has a favor to ask of me?" Meg's eyes flashed, but his expression was still calm. "You should apologize to the Elves. I can't accept it on behalf of the dead Elven Queen. But as the son-in-law, before the culprit is dead, I won't accept it."
"As for that metal lump, use the culprit's head to exchange for it."
"I can understand Mr. Meg's attitude. We have some leads on the culprit. But the other party's power is complicated. I'm afraid the military has been infiltrated. If you want revenge, maybe we can work together," Ferdinand said to Meg.
"Work together?" Meg frowned.
"According to the current intelligence, the person behind the mech is most likely an organization called 'The Immortals'. This organization has an ambiguous relationship with many corporations and is extremely powerful.
You want revenge, and I want to eradicate this organization. Therefore, our goals are the same, "Ferdinand explained.
"With your strength and power, why did you choose me?" Mag stared into Ferdinand's eyes. He wasn't narcissistic enough to think that he was irreplaceable. The underground city had even taken out a demigod's mecha, not to mention that the other party was a real supernatural being.
"I need an unknown but powerful helper in the Dungeon. You need a helper who can help you in the Dungeon. I think we can work well together," Ferdinand said frankly.
"But so far, I still know nothing about you and our so-called common enemy." Meg took a sip of tea. "Equality of information is the basic premise of cooperation."
Ferdinand looked at Meg with admiration. This young man had great strength that did not match his age. At the same time, he also had prudence and wisdom that far surpassed his peers.
"I'm Ferdinand, the First Marshal of the Underground City's Federal Military.
The 'Immortals' is a mysterious organization that has existed for tens of thousands of years. They believe in immortality. The outside world knows very little about them. There should be an extraordinary in their ranks. There are also a few big corporations that have ambiguous relationships with them. They have already extended their tentacles to various sectors of the Underground City, including the military.
"They control the most advanced technology in the Underground City. Their mech technology is even a whole generation ahead of the military.
The military's few operations against the 'Immortals' were leaked in advance. It can be seen that the military is highly infiltrated. Therefore, I need to seek help from the outside world, "Ferdinand said.
Meg had already sat up straight. He was not sleepy anymore after hearing these words.
He felt that the other party's short words hid a lot of information.
The person sitting opposite him was the Underground City's Marshal. He was the one with the highest authority.
And it was close to what he had inferred previously. In the Underground City, the corporations had a lot of power. They could even influence the military.
The 'Immortals' who invaded the Norland Continent and killed and robbed without restraint were very powerful. They were so powerful that even the Marshal who had the power of an extraordinary couldn't get rid of them. He even had to ask for help personally.
"An extraordinary like you is already not someone I can deal with," Meg said honestly.
Killing an enemy of a higher level was not as easy as it sounded.
There hadn't been a real god in the Norland Continent for thousands of years. This was already very telling.
"You don't have to deal with the other party's extraordinary directly. I will arrange an identity for you. You only need to help me investigate some things. With your current ability, you should be able to deal with it," Ferdinand said.
"What benefits can I get?"
"After I get rid of the Immortals, I will hand over the mecha operator for this incident to you. Moreover, I can provide you with an identity to enter the Underground City. There, you might be able to come into contact with the real extraordinary, "Ferdinand said.
Meg admitted that he was a little tempted.
He didn't have much feelings for the Elven Queen, but no matter what, she was still Irina's mother. He should avenge her mother's death.
If Ferdinand could provide him with a legitimate identity to enter the Underground City, it would naturally be better than sneaking in illegally.
He wanted to see if the air in the Underground City was really sweeter, and if he could really become a god by staying there.
Meg controlled his emotions, and said to Ferdinand, "I need a set of detailed information about the Underground City, as well as the parts of your plan that I need to carry out. I will give you an accurate answer within three days."
"Alright. I will get Xi to pass it to you later." Ferdinand nodded. "But Mr. Meg, please keep these things absolutely confidential. Otherwise, it will increase the Enforcer's workload."
Meg could tell that this was a threat.
"Don't worry. I know the rules." Meg nodded.
A smile appeared on Ferdinand's face again. He picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. Then, he looked at Meg and said, "Now that we're done talking about business, can I ask Mr. Mak to help me grill a set of mutton kebabs and beef kebabs? I want to pack them up and take them away. "
Meg stared at Ferdinand in silence for a while before asking, "What's the relationship between you and Vicky?"
"She's my granddaughter." Ferdinand smiled.
"In her story, you're not a good person." Meg's expression was a little strange.
"Children are a little naughty." Ferdinand smiled nonchalantly and said with some gratitude, "I forgot to thank you for saving her life previously."
"I have already received my reward. You don't have to thank me anymore." Meg said calmly, but he couldn't help but curse this old fox in his heart. He deliberately waited until the matter was over before mentioning this, deliberately not wanting him to take advantage of this layer of affection.
