Age of Mysticism

Qingkong told Luke about his encounter with Pan. At this time, Luke was reading the letter written by the eldest princess Agatha.

Along with the handwritten letter, it was sent from the imperial capital, and there was also a promotion order.

"Inspector Meteor Star, hello! I am extremely surprised by your deeds and achievements in Raging Waves City. This has greatly exceeded my expectations for you and made me re-examine your ability.

Your Majesty also admires you very much, and has the idea of ​​transferring you back to the imperial capital to entrust you with important tasks, but I refused!

The situation in Raging Waves City is still unstable, if we call you back hastily, we may lose our current achievements. The stability of Raging Waves City is related to the governance of the empire for a long time in the future. I need you to continue to take care of the overall situation. I hope you can understand my intentions and be prepared to stay in Raging Waves City for a long time.

I guarantee that when you complete the mission and return to the imperial capital, you will definitely get the reward you deserve.

In addition, in view of the particularity of the situation in Rage City, I have specially opened a one-way correspondence channel with you. I will promptly tell you about the changes in Imperial Capital's policies regarding Raging Waves City, and you must also tell me what happened in Raging Waves City in detail.

It is best to write me a letter every day, no more than two days apart.

There is a piece of information to tell you: After the kingdom of Leo, the empire's maritime neighbor, was overthrown by rebels, a large number of Leo nobles fled into the empire to accept political asylum. In view of the previous friendly relations between the two countries, we have given them treatment consistent with their status.

These subjugated nobles behaved quite peacefully at the beginning, but in recent years they often held secret gatherings. These days, many Leo nobles are gathering in Raging Waves City.

The empire has established formal diplomatic relations with the Rio Republic, and the relationship between the two countries has also changed from hostility to relative friendship. It's just that the Republic of Leo has always asked the empire to extradite these exiled nobles, which is also a major obstacle to the closer relations between the two countries.

The empire has no intention of compromising with the Leo Republic on this issue, nor does it want these Leo nobles in exile to do things that will affect the relationship between the two countries.

This is the job of the Imperial Secret Service, keep an eye on them!

..."

Luke read the letter several times, thinking about the information Agatha revealed to himself in the letter.

First of all, the tone is not that superiors are against subordinates, which confirms Luke's conjecture that Agatha already knows that she is a counterfeit. But she also knew that she had nothing to do with this counterfeit, she could only maintain a tacit understanding that everyone had seen through but didn't.

This relationship made Luke very satisfied, and it was also the state he hoped to maintain.

Then the emperor of the empire wanted to transfer his own back to the imperial capital.

That's right, I made too much trouble in Raging Waves City, and almost caused a riot. Amidst the joy of receiving the money, the emperor of the empire was probably still quite a bit apprehensive. Transferring himself, a troublemaker, back to the imperial capital, not only can he control the situation in Raging Waves City, but he can also reap another benefit from the new nobles.

Agatha's refusal to transfer herself back to the Imperial Capital was expected. She didn't have the guts to reveal the mystery yet, so she could only find a way to persuade the Emperor to let Inspector Meteor stay in Raging Waves City.

In short, Agatha wiped her butt clean this time; if anything happens in Raging Waves City in the future, she will continue to cover it up.

The second half of the letter is normal business.

Pan wants to restore the country, of course, he can rely on those Leo nobles in exile. In the past, he had been in secret contact with these exiled nobles. This time, he asked those exiled nobles to come to Rage City under the pretext of making friends with Mrs. Mihir. He probably wanted to use this opportunity to give them more substantial help.

The Golden Shield Empire did not recognize the legitimacy of the Leo Republic at first, and even sent troops to defeat the newly established republic, intending to annex this land into the empire's territory. But this time the empire stood on the opposite side of history. The Leo Republic was supported by many countries. The Seven Years War did not allow the empire to conquer the Leo Republic. Instead, the prolonged war became a heavy burden for the empire.

Later, the two countries ceased fighting, and then the two countries established diplomatic relations.

The former belligerents became maritime trading partners who valued each other very much.

Now the Golden Shield Empire doesn't want to make trouble with the Leo Republic on the issue of exiled nobles, but it also doesn't want to extradite these exiled nobles. On the side of the Rio Republic, they don't want to freeze the already eased relations between the two countries because of these exiled nobles who can't afford to make waves.

Therefore, although the two countries talked about these exiled nobles every time they met officially, they couldn't talk about the results every time.

In the past, these Leo nobles in exile were quite peaceful, but this time they suddenly gathered in Raging Waves City, which made the Imperial Bureau of Secret Affairs nervous.

How to deal with it?

Luke has no idea for the time being.

Leo's nobles in exile are a card for the Golden Shield Empire to deal with the Leo Republic. They may never be used in the future, but they must be kept. Therefore, they should not be allowed to disappear collectively just because they came to Rage City with unreasonable intentions. This would be a major loss of international credit for the empire.

Moreover, Pan is from Shuojin, so to move him, there must be evidence that Shuojin has to convince.

Difficult!

At this moment, Luke suddenly found out, why did he regard himself as a real imperial agent, and began to think about the interests of the empire?

Luke felt that he was asking for trouble, he shook his head mockingly, and then took out the promotion order.

The Imperial Bureau of Secret Affairs abolished all branches of the Bureau of Secret Affairs in Raging City except the Cape District. On the basis of the Cape Branch of the Imperial Bureau of Secret Affairs, the Bureau of Secret Affairs of the City of Rage was established.

Appoint Inspector Meteor as the Chief Inspector of the Imperial Bureau of Raging City's Secret Affairs, with full authority over the secret affairs of Raging City.

Promoted!

Although the power given is what I already have, but having this appointment is justified, it can be regarded as a reward for the eldest princess to appease herself.

In addition to being promoted, Agatha also gave a lot of substantive things.

A group of weapons, a group of intelligence academy graduates. A large bounty is awarded to spies who serve the Empire in Raging City.

These are all things Luke wants.

Especially the professional imperial spies are much easier to use than those temporary spies. Stalking, kidnapping, extortion, silence... or the spies who graduated from the majors did it neatly.

After reading Agatha's letter and promotion order to himself, Luke picked up a pen and wrote a reply.

"Respected Your Royal Highness, Eldest Princess! Many things I did in Raging Waves City were forced to do, if I didn't do it... I would have died.

The current situation is something I didn't expect in advance, and it has become like this step by step. I know that what happened here has caused you a lot of trouble, but fortunately everything is under my control, and the result is also very beneficial to the empire.

Thank you for what you do for me.

If there is no special event, I will try to keep the tide city as it is, and do what I can to increase taxes for the empire. This is probably what His Majesty wants to see. Now the empire needs new nobles.

As for Leo's nobles in exile, I'll keep an eye on them. According to the information I got, they do have the intention of restoring the country, and they are planning to communicate with overseas forces through Mrs. Mihir.

The Secret Affairs Bureau of Raging Waves City will handle this matter well and will not let it affect the relationship between the Empire and the Leo Republic. Please rest assured, Your Highness.

Next, my main work will be on the development of Cape District..."

Agatha wrote with sincerity, and Luke's reply was also full of sincerity.

First of all, express your position and let Agatha know that you have no choice but to do these things, and you don't deliberately play tricks on her.

Eliminating Agatha's worries will allow this tacit understanding to continue.

Then Luke used a large amount of pen and ink in his vision for the development of Cape District, letting Agatha understand that his only appeal is this urban district. The empire acquiesced that this urban area was under the rule of Meteor, so he would help the abbot of the empire to manage Raging City.

Of course, it would be even better if the empire could invest some money.

Luke, who had the idea of ​​asking for money, wrote several pages eloquently, then put it in an envelope and sealed it. Then hand it over to the spies, and send it directly to the imperial capital, Agatha, through a dedicated channel.

After sending the letter away, Luke checked the time.

The reception held by Mrs. Mihir also sent an invitation to Luke, but Luke was not interested in this kind of entertainment, so he didn't plan to go.

Now that Agatha asked Raging City Secret Affairs Bureau to investigate this case, Luke felt that since he was a new official, he had to give the Eldest Princess this face.

I went to see Pan to see what he wanted to do. After all, the plot has changed a lot because of himself, and now Pan and Yinlai Rage City are not in the game plot.

Luke rang the bell on the desk, and Karina, who was next door, quickly opened the door and came in.

"Inspector... No, it's the chief inspector!" As the inspector's secretary, Kailinna saw the promotion order first, and now she has told everyone the news: "Everyone is going to find a place to celebrate at night, Congratulations to Chief Inspector for his promotion, and our sub-bureau of Haijiao District's Secret Affairs Bureau has been upgraded to Raging Waves City's Secret Affairs Bureau. Come together..."

"Go and play, if I go, you will not have a good time. Drink less, come back early, and don't delay tomorrow's work." Luke packed his luggage: "Go, prepare a car for me, I want Go to the Shining Gold Hotel."

Hearing that Luke was going to the Shuojin Hotel, Karina asked, "Chief Inspector, it's so late... are you going to find Director Yin?"

"Yes, Mrs. Mihir invited me to a charity reception at night. I lack a female companion, so I can only ask Director Yin for help..."

Kailinna wanted to say that she could be a female companion, but she refrained from saying it when she remembered her identity.

"Yes, Chief Inspector, I will prepare the car for you immediately."

Luke knew him well, the female secretary whose emotions were written all over her face. He smiled and said: "Don't think about it, Director Yin is from Shuojin. I asked Director Yin to go to Mrs. Mihir, just to get some more money from the World Bank. Haijiao District needs too much money .”

Kailinna remembered that Shuojin people can't have lust, and her mood suddenly became cheerful.

"The Chief Inspector needs to work so late, it's really exhausting!"

...

Luke drove to the Shuojin Hotel alone, and Pan left the door alone in the room.

The sound of the door opening was surprised by Luke's sudden visit.

Knowing that Inspector Meteor Star came this time to invite him to a reception, Yin did not refuse, and quickly changed his clothes and went out with Luke.

Getting into the car, Luke asked Yin: "I didn't see Director Pan, isn't he here?"

The sound in a good mood replied: "Pan said he had something to do, and he went out just after nightfall. I talked with Pan about the investment in Haijiao Port. He also thinks that Haijiao District has very good development prospects, especially Under your supervision, Inspector.

We have submitted our proposal to the head office and we believe we will receive a reply soon. "

Yin's speed of doing things is somewhat beyond Luke's expectations. After all, their main job in Raging City this time is to find eggs, and it is completely optional to invest in anything.

"That's great, I owe you a favor. With the investment from the World Bank, I can quickly realize my dream. If you encounter any trouble in Raging Waves City, just come to me."

"Thank you... Detective Meteor, Meteor is your code name in the Secret Affairs Bureau, can you tell me your real name?"

"My real name is only known to Her Royal Highness the Princess. If I tell others casually, I will be punished. But when my status is high enough, I can disclose my name. At that time, I will definitely tell you as soon as possible."

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

When Luke drove to Mrs. Mihir's house, the reception had already started for some time.

Mrs. Mihir knew that Inspector Meteor was coming, and immediately greeted her personally. She saluted Luke happily: "Inspector, you are able to come, it is really beyond my expectation, every invitation letter before has no way to invite you.

This is... Director Yin. "

Mrs. Mihir recognized the sound, and seeing her holding Meteor's arm, she knew that she was the female companion invited by Inspector Meteor.

Yin bowed to Mrs. Mihir: "Mrs. Mihir, hello! My brother Pan has a business trip tonight, and I am bored in the hotel alone. It happened that Inspector Meteor Star invited me to your reception. Please forgive me for coming here rashly." ..."

Mrs. Mihir said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence that your elder brother, Director Pan, happens to be here. Come in, I'm glad to have two distinguished guests."

"Pan is here too?" Yin was very surprised.

Luke also pretended to be surprised and said, "What a coincidence!"

"Director Pan came here with Miss Qingkong. If Director Pan hadn't told you, I wouldn't even know that you were once members of the royal family of the Kingdom of Leo." Mrs. Mihir brought the two of them into the reception, and said to Luke: " The inspector probably hasn't met Miss Qingkong yet, I wanted to introduce you a long time ago, and this time I finally got the chance.

Miss Qing Kong doesn't like this kind of entertainment. She is upstairs, and Director Pan is also there. Come upstairs with me. "

Luke knew the rules of this kind of reception through the clear sky. According to his current status, he didn't need to communicate too much with the guests in the hall. There is a room on the second floor for high-level guests. If you want to see someone, just send someone to call up the people in the hall.

Following Mrs. Mihir up to the second floor, in a quiet and elegant room, Luke saw Qingkong, Jenny, and Pan.

Seeing Yin coming in with Meteor, Pan was surprised and said, "Yin, why are you here?"

"Director Yin was invited by me." Luke walked up to Qingkong and stretched out his hand as if meeting Qingkong for the first time: "Hello, Miss Qingkong."

Clear Sky stood up and shook hands with Luke: "Hello, Inspector Meteor."
