Arrival at Kefiser

"Little miss, you seem to be in a good mood?"

Inside the carriage heading towards Kefiser City, Generro looked at Li Qi, who seemed quite relaxed, and asked in surprise.

Although Li Qi wore a veil and his appearance was hidden, having spent a year with the Squad Leader on the battlefield, Generro could somewhat judge Li Qi's mood from his eyes.

And in Generro's view, Li Qi was in a very good mood right now.

But he didn't know why, as what had happened in the carriage was far from pleasant; it was more like a thriller.

Heaven knows how nervous he was when the guards checked his identity and belongings.

At that moment, Generro almost exposed his identity as a Sergeant!

Fortunately, the guards didn't notice anything unusual about him.

And Generro genuinely didn't have the confidential documents they were looking for on him.

In short, Generro couldn't figure out what could make Li Qi happy.

Li Qi glanced at the coachman responsible for driving the carriage and said softly:

"It's alright, I just thought of something interesting."

As he spoke, Li Qi couldn't help but smile.

When he finally got off the carriage, Li Qi had swapped the item he got from the Spy.

The cylindrical device containing the so-called 'confidential document' had several layers of special Magic Locks on the outside.

It was the Magic Power flow inherent in these locks that allowed Li Qi to discover it.

There were a total of three layers of Magic Locks. If destroyed by brute force, the Magic Locks would detonate.

Without knowing the correct unlocking method, it was impossible to open the Magic Locks.

But unfortunately, this 'impossible' didn't apply to Li Qi, the man with a built-in cheat.

His Superpower from his previous life was surprisingly effective at observing Magic Power flow, and the core of the Magic Locks was the entanglement and crisscrossing of several types of Magic Power.

He only needed to use his own Magic Power to move along the flow paths, like navigating a simple maze. When the exit was found, the lock would naturally open.

Li Qi opened the lock with little effort and took out the contents.

He even managed to sneak a look at the content of the 'confidential document' while Amy wasn't paying attention.

That's why, when he got off the carriage and brushed past the female Guard, he handed the 'confidential document' to that female Guard.

In this life, Li Qi was a soldier of the Duchy of Uno.

Whether it was Berry or his superior Bolent, they were both very good to Li Qi.

Therefore, Li Qi also identified with his current status.

So, of course, he couldn't just stand by and watch a Spy from who knows which country take away his country's confidential documents.

Although limited by his special circumstances, Li Qi couldn't report the Spy.

But he could at least retrieve the confidential documents and hand them over to someone who needed them.

As for what he had agreed with Amy?

Li Qi and Amy had agreed that he would return the item to her, but they didn't specify what the item was.

However, speaking of which, he didn't expect the Spy to be carrying blueprints for Magic Orbs. No wonder the military reacted so strongly.

After all, this was the future of the Magic Corps.

Thinking of the Magic Corps, Li Qi couldn't help but start recalling the content of the blueprints he had seen.

The content of the blueprints was quite complex; he couldn't remember everything just by looking at it a few times, but Li Qi did remember a few key nodes.

He had a premonition that those nodes were the key to the Magic Orb's ability to enhance Magic Power and transmit it to specialized Firearms.

Although there were still many parts he didn't understand, perhaps in the future, he could use these to consult Dr. Riv and create his own exclusive Magic Orb.

After all, this was a way to enhance his own strength, and Li Qi couldn't afford to be careless.

The sun had already set, and the carriage was traveling through the dark mountain path.

Actually, if they had traveled normally, they should have stayed in the provincial capital for a day and continued their journey the next day.

But there was no other way. With what happened in the carriage, the Royal Capital might send high-ranking Nobles to investigate the matter.

Today, limited by the era's backward communication, no high-ranking Nobles came to stop them, but that might not be the case tomorrow.

To avoid delaying their mission, Generro and Li Qi decided to travel through the night.

At least, they would first head to the next city.

Fortunately, perhaps Li Qi was lucky, or perhaps there weren't many mountain bandits in the vicinity.

They didn't encounter any dangers or unexpected events along the way.

Two days later, they successfully arrived at Kefiser City.

The mayor of Kefiser City was Dag Angulo.

As a member of the Reformist Faction, it wasn't easy for him to reach this position.

In fact, what he sacrificed for this position was far greater than his current status.

Because before Dag Angulo became mayor, he had already been slated for promotion to Viscount.

But to get this position and keep this border city in the hands of the Reformist Faction, Dag had to give up the opportunity for this noble promotion.

After all, Dag was a smart man, and he could see who truly held power in the kingdom now.

It wasn't the fat king who only knew how to hide behind the scenes and feast, but Marshal Lymus, who held all military authority.

And Marshal Lymus... was of the Reformist Faction.

For low-level nobles, knowing which way the wind blows is their skill; it's common sense to cling to whichever side has more power.

That's why Dag was willing to follow the arrangements from above, abandon the chance to become a Viscount, and come here to be mayor.

However, now, Dag had some regrets.

Coming to Kefiser City as mayor, the benefits he could reap were even less than he imagined. And hearing that the higher-ups didn't like corrupt people, Dag was even more afraid to act recklessly.

These things were fine, but the key was that as one of the few nobles who defected to the Marshal, he didn't enter the Marshal's sight. Instead, he was assigned under the command of an Intelligence Department officer.

Now, he was even ordered by him to pick someone up.

As for who this person was, their real name, or what their mission was, Dag knew nothing.

He only knew that he inexplicably gained a "second daughter" and had to send her to the Shipu Federation as soon as possible.

Today was the day the person he was supposed to pick up arrived in Kefiser City.

For this, he personally brought his own daughter to the city gate to wait for the arrival.

After all, the arrival's identity was now his younger daughter. Since his daughter had finally returned from the Royal Capital, Dag naturally had to personally welcome her.

One must see the performance through.

"Father, is that... sister arriving soon?"

Beside Dag, his only daughter, Claudia Angulo, estimated the time and asked him.

Dag nodded slightly:

"She'll be here soon."

"Did sister say why she's coming back this time?"

Claudia asked again.

Dag shook his head this time: "I'm not sure, the higher-ups only said to find a way to send her to the Shipu Federation... Do you think there's a problem with this?"

Dag sought his daughter's opinion.

Don't look at Claudia being his daughter; in reality, the Angulo Family is now run by Claudia.

Before the Reformist Faction's momentum picked up, it was Claudia who helped him gain the opportunity to be promoted to Viscount.

After the Reformist Faction emerged, it was also Claudia who, with both coquetry and firmness, made him join the Reformist Faction.

Although Dag still didn't understand why Claudia did this, based on past experiences, Claudia had never made a wrong choice.

Therefore, he was willing to trust his daughter.

He even sometimes sought his daughter's advice.

Just like now.

Claudia thought for a moment, then after a while, she shook her head:

"Too little information, I can't analyze it... However, since the higher-ups haven't given any other instructions, Father, just follow their arrangements. Try not to do anything unnecessary."

"I understand."

Dag nodded again, his gaze fixed on the distance.

Just as the father and daughter were talking, a brown carriage was approaching from afar.

Judging by the symbol on the carriage, it should be the 'important person' who came from the Royal Capital.

Dag's current younger daughter.

Because the last few chapters are transitional, they are relatively plain, there's nothing I can do about it o(╥﹏╥)o

As for updates... the new book period is like this, only 4000 characters. After it's put on the shelves, there will be more updates!
