Since returning from the impact crater at the southern foot of the Gloom Mountain Range, Gwen had been collecting, investigating, and reorganizing all the known information about the Mithril Vault.
The mysterious organization might have something to do with the Giant Dragon, and the Giant Dragon seemed to have something to do with the situation of the entire continent, the Demonic Wave, and the mysterious "Black Trap" phenomenon. On the other hand, the original owner of his body, Gwen? Cecil also had something to do with the Mithril Vault. With all these clues put together, Hao Ren had to be vigilant about this mysterious organization.
In the process of investigation, Gwen found that there was more information about the Mithril Vault than he had imagined. In fact, the information was almost as vast as the sea.
The Mithril Vault was ancient and mysterious, but it was never an isolated organization. On the contrary, it was active in almost every land known to mankind, including the realm of elements and high-level monsters. It collected, kept, rented, and traded with any country or race. As long as you met the "trading standards" of the Mithril Vault, the agent of the Mithril Vault would appear in front of you. From this point of view, the Mithril Vault could be said to be "open".
It even had fixed contact points in major cities with fixed contacts and established an effective and stable official channel with the local forces. There were even a total of seven Mithril Vault "stores" in Louen City, Hosman City, and the old city of Pebble. More than a dozen low-level agents were running those stores, and they were still operating normally.
All of them were century-old stores.
They were doing business similar to paid vaults and lending. They operated legally and had complete information. After the unification of the Southern Region, they immediately registered with the Government Office. One of the stores was even named one of the best merchants of the year in Hosman, and the picture of its agent receiving the award was even published in the local newspaper in Hosman.
However, in addition to this superficial information, the deeper information about the Mithril Vault was not so easy to investigate.
The low-level stores of the Mithril Vault seemed to have no secrets, and the low-level agents were just ordinary people. Gwen investigated some of the low-level agents and confirmed that they were all locals with clean backgrounds and clear identity documents. These low-level agents and stores were responsible for the higher-level "regional agents." The identities of these regional agents did not seem to be a problem. At least, Cecil's Government Office could not find any problems.
So, which level of the Mithril Vault agent was connected to the Giant Dragon?
Gwen still did not have a clue, but he associated the organization of the Mithril Vault with Cecil's business intelligence network — a highly secretive intelligence system that used commercial organizations at all levels as the carrier and the Military Intelligence Agency as the key nodes. He felt that the so-called agent system of the Mithril Vault was probably similar.
The silver-white ring emitted a faint heat. As magic power was injected into it, the enchanted spell in the ring began to operate. A slightly hoarse mature voice rang in Gwen's ears, interrupting his thoughts. "Greetings, Gwen? Duke Cecil — do you need any business help? "
“My
Miss Pony. "Gwen calmed down and said calmly," I have some questions about the Mithril Vault, and I'd like to consult you in person. "
After many investigations, Gwen finally decided to make a direct contact and sound out the information. Since Miss Melita was already a "senior agent," Gwen had reason to believe that she at least knew some high-level secrets. Anyway, if he succeeded, he would gain valuable information. If he failed, he would not lose anything.
The voice on the other side of the ring paused for a moment. After a while, it said, "Consultation in person? Is it a very important question?"
"It's very important," Gwen said unhurriedly. "Is there a problem?"
"… No, no problem. The Mithril Vault has always been faithful to the contract." Melita?? Pânia's voice came. "Then I'll visit you later. I happen to be near Cecil City."
The slight heat from the Mithril Ring gradually subsided, but Gwen frowned slightly.
The senior agent happened to be near Cecil City? Was this a coincidence, or was it intentional? And what was the deeper meaning of her taking the initiative to tell him?
In theory, there were not many "clients" who could directly talk to the senior agent of the Mithril Vault. In the land of Cecil City, he was afraid that he was the only one. Melita?? Pânia could not have stayed in the area for other clients. So, she had been waiting for him to contact her?
Gwen shook his head. He felt that he might be oversensitive, but …
Considering the existence of the Giant Dragon, it was better to be sensitive about this issue.
Gwen did not have any extra schedule today, so he patiently waited for the senior agent's visit in the Lord's Mansion. He did not have to wait for long.
When the giant sun was just tilting to the west, Betty ran into the study. The little maid bowed deeply. "Master! Someone is looking for you! She said her name is — "
"Let her in." Gwen interrupted Betty. "Also, prepare tea and snacks and send them to the study."
"Ah! Okay! "
Gwen tidied up the documents on the desk. A few minutes later, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor.
The door of the study opened. A young lady in a purple gauze dress and a lavender veil walked into the room under the guidance of the maid, Betty. She was the senior agent of the Mithril Vault.
Betty left after bringing the guest to the study. Gwen glanced at Melita. He did not show any unusual expression. He just nodded and said, "Long time no see, Miss Agent."
"Long time no see, Duke Cecil." Melita nodded slightly as well. Then, she walked a little unsteadily to Gwen's desk. "This city is really changing every day. It's amazing."
Gwen was speechless.
Although this Miss My.
Pony had tried her best to maintain a steady and dignified posture, Gwen could still see at a glance that her leg seemed to be injured.
"What's wrong with your leg?"
"There are always accidents in life," Miss Agent said calmly. But Gwen did not know if it was an illusion, but he saw a faint annoyance in her eyes. "It's just a little injury. It won't affect my work."
Gwen was, of course, curious as to why a senior agent of the Mithril Vault was injured. This agent was most likely a high-ranking Transcendent. But he did not have the habit of asking other people's privacy. So, he just pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down. If I knew you were injured, I wouldn't have called you here today."
"Mithril Treasury, our reputation comes first. We have never discounted our customer service, and this has been the case for thousands of years." The agent sat down on the chair, and before Gawain could start the conversation, she continued in a seemingly casual manner, "And … our conversation today is very necessary, isn't it?"
Gawain frowned imperceptibly. "Oh?"
"Let's be frank, Duke Cecil," Melita said. Pânia sighed. "Not long ago … you took people to the southern part of the Gloom Mountains. Is that right?"
Gwen's eyes froze slightly. But under his calm face, he was shocked.
Amid the sudden surge of assumptions and conjectures, he temporarily suppressed all the possibilities and calmly looked into the eyes of the senior agent in front of him. "Do you know what we found there?"
"You found …" Melita said. Pânia said softly. Then, she leaned over and put her face close to Gwen.
Her seductive lilac eyes had turned into a pair of vertical pupils at some point in time, with fine scales faintly appearing on both sides of her eyes. Amidst a faintly discernible and powerful aura, her voice entered Gawain's ears.
"Traces of a dragon, is it?"
Gwen looked calmly at Melita's face, which had faintly turned into a dragon. The latter quickly returned to her normal state after maintaining this posture for two seconds and returned to her original position. Betty's voice came from outside the door. "Master! I've brought tea and snacks! "
"Put it here." The atmosphere in the study suddenly became peaceful. Gawain asked the little maid to put the tea tray on the table, and then nodded gently. "Go and rest first. Don't let anyone come to the study for the time being."
"Aye, okay!"
Betty obediently closed the door and left the room. Melita? Pânia chuckled and broke the silence after a short silence. "I thought my eyes and scales could at least surprise you a little."
Gwen spread out his hands. "To be honest, I have a long-scaled one here. She may have more scales than you, so I'm not so surprised by similar non-human physiological characteristics."
This answer was somewhat unexpected for Melita. She froze for a moment and said helplessly, "… That siren. Indeed, you have a lot of … wonderful people gathered here."
Gawain tried his best to maintain a calm and indifferent demeanor, but in fact, countless thoughts were running through his mind. The first thought that popped into his mind was the dragon he had seen from the satellite's perspective.
Melita? Pânia, the senior agent of the Mithril Vault. She should be the dragon!
Then the wound on her leg …
Could it be that the Giant Dragon crashed every time she threw off the satellite's tracking?
All the clues in Gwen's mind seemed to be connected in an instant, but he guessed that Melita? Pânia should not know the details of his identity as a "satellite spirit". The Giant Dragon should only know that he had led people to explore the southern part of the Gloom Mountains and found the impact crater. In other words, he could not expose the "crash" point, and he could not show that he knew the Giant Dragon was in the southern part of the Gloom Mountains in advance.
He carefully considered the part where the two sides had different information and based on Melita? Pânia's initiative to expose her identity, he was trying to figure out her motive and purpose. After careful consideration and judgment, he cautiously said, "Wonderful? The siren and the Giant Dragon are not just 'wonderful' for humans. I'm very lucky to have the opportunity to know members of these two legendary races at the same time. I'm curious, a dragon, a senior agent of the Mithril Vault, what do you want to do in the human world? "
"You don't have to be so vigilant. Dragons mean no harm to the human world," Melita said. "But before we continue this topic, I hope to get back something that I accidentally lost. Those are the precious assets of the Mithril Vault. I know they are now in your hands. I can feel their breath."
After Melita revealed her identity, Gawain had already guessed that she would mention the rings. He casually took out a box of mithril rings from one of the drawers under his desk and placed it on the table. "You mean these rings?"
"Yes. Can you give them back to me?"
"Then we have to talk." Gwen put his hand on the box and leaned back slightly against the back of the chair. "Let's start with the relationship between the Mithril Vault and the Giant Dragon. Are you a special case among the senior agents?"
Melita did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked at Gwen's eyes with interest. "You are very calm in the face of real Dragons."
"When I climbed out of the coffin, I had already faced the most surprising situation." Gwen smiled. "Dragons really don't surprise me."
