In the CIA headquarters building, the director of the CIA Central Intelligence Division, Kelsey Lewis, was having a closed-circuit video conference with his subordinates all over the country.
"According to your instructions, our Georgia division has been keeping a close eye on the Wildenstein Group and Andre Lee Wildenstein's every move since half a year ago. But now, we are seriously short of funds and manpower. Especially that lucky Andre, the speed at which he expanded his forces was simply miraculous. So I hope the headquarters can approve our temporary funding application. This 2.3 billion gold dun is crucial to our ability to fully monitor the situation of the Wildenstein family. "
"Boss, speaking of Andre Lee Wildenstein, we have investigated and found that there is indeed some connection between him and Hua. But so far, we have not collected any evidence. If you want to make a breakthrough in this area, then I hope the headquarters can increase the investment and give us more support. Also, it is best to approve our arrest of Song Aiguo. I know this person has a legal identity, so we need to take a little risk. "
Cressy Lewis frowned and looked at the screen on the other side of the screen without saying anything.
"What about ILM? Has there been any unusual situation recently? "
"Yes, sir. According to the information we have, Anthony Braden has not appeared in public for three days in a row. "
On the screen was a man with a thin face and a large hooked nose. "This is not a big deal. Mr. Braden is often like this, loitering in the laboratory or on a woman's belly for ten days or half a month without a trace. But our people also found that Anthony Braden's mansion in Manhattan, 'Tomorrow Manor', has suddenly strengthened its defense in the past two days. The Braden family has gathered at least 12 legendary figures here. Even Magic Moving City has strengthened its defense. Rumor has it that the Braden family's demigod 'Iron Wing' Dalaran has left Magic Moving City, but we are still confirming this. "
"In addition, the vice chairman and CEO of ILM, Soren Otto, is buying shares of ILM in the secondary market of NASDAQ. It must be mentioned that due to a series of bad news and terrible financial reports, the stock price of Light and Magic Industries is currently at a low level. Mr. Otto has the support of at least two supreme families, and he has obtained a loan of at least 300 billion gold duns from Starflag, Morgan, and many other banks. "
"You can do some reconnaissance in Magic Moving City, but you have to be careful not to overdo it."
Just as Kalise Lewis gave the order, there was a sudden knock on the door of the conference room. In just a second, a beautiful female employee with a pale face pushed open the door and rushed in.
"I'm sorry, boss. I have to disturb you. There was an emergency just now."
As he spoke, he glanced at the screens next to him. Kalise Lewis couldn't help but have a serious expression on his face. With a puzzled look in his eyes, he pressed a button on the table, temporarily halting his communication with his subordinates.
"Can you tell me what happened, Ms. Leena? What kind of emergency could it be that made you — "
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the female assistant named Leena. "The people in the Foreign Agent Management Office told me that Renn Browick has been confirmed dead."
"Browick?"
Kalise Lewis could no longer keep his calm. He stood up abruptly and looked at his assistant Leena in disbelief. "Has this news been confirmed? Our astral agent is dead? What the hell is going on? "
"I'm sorry, this is the result of repeated confirmation by the Foreign Agent Management Office. The mark left by Renn Browick has disappeared."
The female assistant smiled helplessly. "No one knows what happened now. Browick didn't send any message back. Not only did he not have any image of his death, but he didn't even send a word back. The only thing we know now is that he may have died in the astral plane while carrying out an exploration mission in 'World Zero Three'. However, we can be sure that he did not arrive at the observatory we set up in 'World Zero Three'. Moreover, it's very likely that he died in the hands of others within fifteen minutes. According to the information we have, there have been no major interstellar storms in the last five days near our world of light. It's currently in a safe period — "
"In addition, it must be mentioned that Renn Browick carried the 'Punishing Thunder Spear' and the 'Consciousness Erase' Theocracy Scroll when he carried out the exploration mission in 'World Zero Three'."
"You're telling me that he could have killed a demigod in his state at the time?"
Kalise Lewis took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Inform the Astral Security Department and have them investigate this matter with all their might. In addition, have someone confirm the location and movements of all demigods and Lesser Gods in the prime material plane! "
He then thought of something and asked thoughtfully, "Where was the 'Lord of the Void Night' Delfina Edrick at the time?"
"Are you suspecting Andre Lee Wildenstein?"
The female assistant named Lina shook her head. "That's unlikely. Delfina stayed in Sand Bay Island for the past two days. She obtained a large sum of money from the Wildenstein family and has already bought Sand Bay Island from the Bahamian government. She's trying to build a paradise for the otherworldlings there, but I'm not optimistic about them. In short, with the current strength of André and his men, the possibility of killing the Astral Agent is very small. "
"Can you confirm it?"
Even after receiving a definite answer from his assistant, Kalise Lewis still had a suspicious look in his eyes.
But then he rubbed his temples with a headache and looked distressed at the same time.
Although Renn Browick was only a Level Five Legendary Master, due to his special talent as an Arcane Master. Within the CIA, he had a much higher position than most demigods. This person's ability was almost irreplaceable. Now with this person's death, many of the CIA's work would be difficult to carry out, or even come to a standstill.
"Inform all departments and find a way to investigate! We need to know how our Astral agent died. The murderer who killed Browick, don't let me find him — "
…
At the same time, in the "Village of Destiny" Magic Tower, Li Mochen was lamenting about the difference in combat power between himself and "Tianxin" Li Mochen.
Even though the latter's overflowing confidence, arrogance, and arrogance gave Li Mochen a headache, the difference in combat strength between the two states was indeed not just a little big.
In addition, there were the two divine powers that almost killed him —
Thinking of the scene of him almost being killed by the Thunder Spear not long ago, Li Mochen's pupils slightly narrowed.
This experience made him feel that he was still weak in this world.
Any mid-grade God could kill him. And there were at least a hundred such existences in the World of Light.
Beside Li Mochen, Angela was guessing the origin of the "Punishment Thunder Spear": "The one who has the divine power of the" Punishment Thunder Spear "is second to none, the God King Zeus. But that scroll can't have come from the hands of the Olympian God King. He disappeared for thousands of years after being heavily injured. Moreover, God King Zeus' Punishment Thunder Spear has already reached the 'origin' level.
"It can't be Thunder God Thor either. That's a quasi God King. He mainly cultivates the lightning divine power. Although it isn't the Punishment Thunder Spear, it should have reached the latter level.
"It also isn't Sindhu's Thunder God Indra or the Eastern God System's Nine Heavens Resonating Thunder Heavenly Lord. The former is a God King and has the honorific 'Sakra'. Before Brahma took over Sindhu, he was the ruler of the gods of Sindhu. As for the 'Nine Heavens Resonating Thunder Heavenly Lord', it can already be confirmed that he is only an incarnation of the Daoist Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor. He has not appeared in the world since the so-called Silver Age of the Greek Gods, which is the end of the primordial era in the east.
"The only ones I can think of right now are the Slavic God of Lightning Perun and the Lithuanian God of Lightning Perkunas. Both of them are Overgods, and they don't mainly cultivate the 'Punishment Thunder Spear'.
"The most likely one is the Slavic God of Lightning Perun. He also cultivates war and uses axes or hammers. In the era when the Church of Light swept through the gods, he was converted into a Saint, 'Elijah of Lightning'. He is one of the seven Angel Kings serving the God of Light. It's said that he often cooperates with the government of America and has a connection with the Statue of Liberty.
"I'm not sure about the wiping of consciousness, but the effect on you should be a weak Divine Power. There are many people who wield this power."
Li Mochen couldn't help but shake his head, his heart stifled. His future path might be longer than he could imagine. It would be extraordinarily difficult to truly establish a place for oneself in this world.
Fortunately, the vast majority of these gods were either in hiding or in hibernation due to the war of the gods several thousand years ago. The rest, for some reason, were temporarily unable to appear in their true forms. Even if they forcibly descended, their strength would be greatly restricted.
"You should actually capture him alive. You should be able to get some information out of him."
After some remarks, Angela said regretfully, "Raine Bloweyk wasn't a secret agent from the beginning. He had an identity before the legendary realm, which was a wanted robber. It wasn't until forty years ago that he was incorporated by the CIB and became the head of the CIB Central Intelligence Department. "
Li Mochen couldn't help but laugh, "I also want to, but Angie, do you think it's possible?"
Angela couldn't help but be silent. Li Mochen in the 'Tianxin' state wouldn't consider things like capturing people alive. No matter who wanted to be his enemy, he would just kill them with a knife. He disdained any schemes.
"Actually, it's not necessary. My parents' enemy in the CIB, Clark Banfield, has already helped me investigate more or less. He deserves the salary I'm giving him."
Li Mochen changed the topic, "Let's talk about the primordial dragon skeleton in your hands. Angie, we have to refine it into 'Illusion Dragon Defense' as soon as possible. I've always felt that your father's state isn't quite right. "
Angela's face suddenly darkened. She was thinking that it wasn't just Li Mochen. She and many of her father's subordinates had recently sensed that a storm was brewing.
What was Michelle planning by cooperating with the Dragon Witch Cult?
"Angie, you know that I have a three-year truce agreement with the Dragon Witch Cult, so I can't take the initiative to attack them. If something happens to the Michelle Group and the Dragon Witch Cult, Angie, you better have a certain degree of adaptability. "
According to the agreement signed between Li Mochen and the Dragon Witch Cult, Angela and the Michelle Group were under his protection.
The problem was that before the contract expired, Li Mochen couldn't take the initiative to attack or interfere in advance.
Once the Dragon Witch Cult decided to break the contract, it meant that the situation was very serious.
"Of course I know."
Angela took off the 'Fantasy Dragon's Defense' from her neck and played with it in her hand. She actually liked this necklace more. It contained Li Mochen's sincerity.
However, the new necklace was also obtained by Li Mochen together with her at the risk of his life. Her lover was doing his best to help her.
"But this time, can I do it myself? Ammo, you just need to help me tell Mr. Braden that I'm willing to give up three complete Theocracy Knowledge and mythical materials worth 10 billion gold duns in exchange for his and Professor Bethel Constantine's help. These are all from my mother. According to her will, I will inherit everything from her in half a month when I turn 17. "
"But you're giving him too much, Angie. Three complete Theocracy Knowledge, this is too good for him. "
Li Mochen was stunned. He then said helplessly as he took out his mobile phone.
He knew that Angela had made up her mind, so he did not try to dissuade her.
In order to transform the Primordial Blue Dragon's skeleton into real combat power as soon as possible, he could not do without the help of Anthony and the magician.
However, when Li Mochen took out his mobile phone, he found that the red light showing 'missed calls' was flashing rapidly.
Li Mochen pressed the inquiry button and found that most of them were from Anthony Braden. Therefore, he called back without hesitation.
"Wow, you look very energetic, but you give off the feeling that you're very troubled and haggard, Mr. Braden."
When Anthony Braden appeared in front of Li Mochen in the form of an electromagnetic projection, he immediately noticed the contradictory state of Anthony Braden.
Anthony Braden's expression relaxed slightly. "I finally got in touch with you. Where did you go? The Dragon's Tomb? "
"You've already guessed it, haven't you?"
Li Mochen looked at him suspiciously. "You've called me 17 times in four days. What the hell happened? Anthony? "
"I've been plotted against."
Anthony Braden began to frown again. "Someone gave me a drop of Gaia's Spring of Uranus."
Li Mochen was stunned again. He then looked at Anthony Braden, puzzled. "The legendary life essence from the genitals?"
Gaia was the Mother Goddess of the Earth in the Greek pantheon. She was born at the same time as Uranus, the God of the Sky, who was born with her. Each of them wielded a part of the power of the Origin. However, the God of the Sky was more powerful and had always been in the dominant position.
That was until Gaia conspired with her youngest son, Cronus, to cut off Uranus's genitals. The organ of the God of the Sky turned into a strange substance that would condense into a blood-colored liquid every once in a while. It was the top mythical treasure of Olympus, and it was said that it could grant immortality.
"Hey! Don't make it sound so disgusting. You should say it's the blood of the Origin. How can there be life essence from a severed genitals? "
Anthony Braden complained loudly, but when he mentioned genitals, he couldn't help but look gloomy.
The blood of the Origin of the Genitals and the life essence of the Genitals seemed to be no different. They both came from the genitals.
"But Mr. Braden, isn't that a good thing?"
Hazel couldn't help but ask curiously. "I heard that this thing has been extinct in the black market for many years. A few decades ago, someone even offered a sky-high price of five billion gold duns, but no one sold it. "
"A good thing? That's indeed a good thing. "
Anthony sighed. "I'm about to become a Legend. Everyone, I've tried everything in the past few days, but I couldn't suppress it. The Goddess of Magic is already watching me. If I don't take any precautions, I'll be doomed in ten days at most. "
Li Mochen had long realized the seriousness of the problem, but he was still puzzled. "But Anthony, I want to know, in what state were you injected with the 'Spring of Uranus of Gaia'?"
Anthony Braden was embarrassed to hear that and didn't know how to answer.
Angela, on the other hand, couldn't help but laugh, her eyes full of mockery. "A woman, is it? Father said that you would fall into a woman's belly sooner or later. Sister Natalie Mace should've kicked you out. She must've been furious. "
Li Mochen was lost for words too. "Anthony, why didn't she just feed the poison to you?"
"If she had, I would've noticed it. I always have the Demigod spells of Malice Detection and Poison Detection. If someone wants to harm me, they can't hide it from me. "
Anthony also opened his hands helplessly. "But my girlfriend didn't know that it was the Spring of Uranus, but she sincerely believed that what she put in my coffee was good for me, and that was the truth."
"I think I understand the situation. But the timing is not good. Anthony, you're really giving me a headache this time. "
Li Mochen rubbed between his eyebrows and said with some distress, "Anthony, I want to know, how long can you last in your current state?"
The current situation was indeed troublesome. Their confrontation with Philip the First was still ongoing. The other side didn't seem to be in a hurry to fight at all, so the many demigods and legends under his command couldn't move at all. And now, his two allies, Anthony and Michelle Group, were both on the verge of exploding one after another.
"The limit is eight to ten days, during which I will try my best to suppress myself. But my magic consultant provided me with a new idea. I can make a device to temporarily freeze myself, so that I can delay for two to three months. "
Anthony looked desperate. "But I guess Philip the First won't give you a chance to finish him off in these two months."
"That is indeed the case. However, if we have two to three months, it is not as if we have no chance of victory."
Li Mochen's tone was calm. "We can think of a way to deal with the time difference."
"Time difference? What do you mean? "
Anthony seemed to understand something and narrowed his eyes. "You plan to lure Philip into making a move when I advance, right? Seems like you're very confident, young man! "
"Are you going to open a dye house just because I gave you some face? Who is the one who caused this trouble? "
Li Mochen's face was as cold as frost. "Anthony, I just want to know, can you give me three hours after the battle starts? Within three hours, I will first solve the problem on my side. No! Even an hour will do. "
"Of course! It takes a while for a magician to advance from level-20 to legendary. My enemy will only choose to strike at the most crucial moment. "
Anthony was obviously energized. "Since you have such confidence, then everything is easy. I have prepared for so many years, I won't be unable to hold on for three hours. If it really doesn't work, I also have a way to make them misjudge the time of my advancement. "
"Then before that, help my girlfriend design a new Fantasy Draconic Defense."
Li Mochen continued expressionlessly. "I need new combat power now, Anthony. Once the battle starts, I won't have the extra energy to take care of the Michelle Group. "
"A new Fantasy Draconic Defense? Ammo, you really know how to fish in troubled waters. "
Anthony smiled bitterly. "But I guess the level of the dragon skeleton you got from the dragon's tomb is not low? Let me guess, it's an ancient dragon, right? Isn't it? Then it's a primordial dragon? Bullsh * t, it seems that you've earned a lot from this trip to the dragon's tomb. "
After getting the answer from the faces of Li Mochen and Angela, Anthony sighed helplessly. "But you can see my current situation. I can't help you at all. My body and mind must remain frozen during this time."
"So, Ammo, you can only ask Teacher for this matter."
Li Mochen suddenly frowned. At this time, Anthony looked at him very seriously. "You should go see him in person. Go to Stanford University. Professor Constantine has been waiting for you."
"Okay, I'll go there in two days, Anthony."
Li Mochen did not hesitate anymore. After saying the last few words, he directly hung up the mobile phone.
…
After ending the communication with Anthony, Li Mochen began to get busy again.
He first paid attention to the situation in the Dark World. The battle in the Rocher Canyon had reached a stalemate. The two simple fortresses planned by Xuri Construction had never been built. The other party tried their best to interfere and they had the assistance of heavy artillery and missiles from human beings. Michael Wood's two consecutive attempts ended in failure, losing up to 500 million gold duns.
However, the fortress built by the Blood Wing Grand Duchy in the Rocher Canyon was also destroyed by more than a dozen heavy artillery and long-range missiles brought over by Michael.
After the fortress construction plan failed, several commanders of the Rising Sun Security Department directly changed their course. Behind the trench line of defense, several rails were built and dozens of cannons' Holy Spirit Annihilator 'were converted into railway guns. Coupled with the two 'Roar of Gods and Demons' provided by Light and Magic Industries, which had a caliber of up to 1,400 mm and a range of 2,000 kilometers, they could easily destroy any efforts to build permanent fortifications on the opposite side.
This was originally the latest fortress main cannon designed by Anthony for 'Magic City'. Light and Magic Industries produced a total of eight of them. Six of them had been placed in Magic City, and the remaining two were placed in the warehouse as spare.
After Michael Wood heard that there were two in stock, he sent an application to Alisa and pulled over the two spare 'Roar of Gods and Demons'.
Therefore, the battle in the Rocher Canyon had actually tilted in the favor of Xuri Construction.
It was estimated that the Blood Wing Grand Duchy would be forced to evacuate from the canyon or the decisive battle would not be far away. In fact, the dark army inside the canyon had launched several tentative attacks, but they were easily repelled by Michael.
If it was only defense, the private army under Li Mochen's command was undoubtedly first-class. A large number of retired soldiers and the most advanced equipment made the technical and tactical level and firepower of the six armored regiments and three mechanized infantry brigades reach the level of the Federal Marine Corps.
What they lacked was cooperation and tacit understanding between the various units. However, relying on fortifications to defend, the requirements for this aspect were precisely the lowest.
In addition, the demigods of the Blood Wing Grand Duchy had also appeared on the battlefield twice. After being intercepted by the 'Blood-eyed Angel' Robert Yvonne and Douglas Duncan, they directly retreated.
This was another tentative firepower reconnaissance. The other party was spying on the magic array arranged by Douglas and others and waiting for an opportunity.
