A Bold Guess (Part 1)

In Number Nine Floating City's Propulsion Department, some new mages are being inspected by the security team at the department entrance.

The faces of these mages were relatively unfamiliar, and several of them wore black face-covering masks.

When the security team asked them to take it off, they showed the special instructions from the person in charge of Mage Tower, allowing them to wear masks and enter Propulsion Department.

The security guards hesitated for a while, but finally just registered the other party's identity information and let them in.

When all the security checks were completed, these mages walked directly to the small studio where Iris was located.

"Those are the technicians called by Fourth Order Mage from Alva?"

Fran blinked and watched these people wearing Construct School mage robes walking towards Iris, and then several mages without masks walked towards Iris.

The other mages began to look at the Magic Inscription on the entire Propulsion Department wall. Some had noticed the pile of inspection results next to the table, and some seemed to be talking to the Propulsion Department mages.

This is not surprising. The mages and technicians of the Propulsion Department are all from Construct School, and they are basically second- and third-level mages. In this range, it is normal for them to know each other.

It's just that the person they knew was a little special. Fran watched a mage wearing a black mask walk up to Henry.

She looked at Henry with a look of surprise on her face, then immediately walked forward, finally stopping two steps in front of the black masked mage, and started chatting with him.

For some reason, it was clear that the other party did not release Soundproof Barrier, but Fran did not hear what the other party was talking about. I only knew that they talked for a long time, and they did not leave each other until Fran and the others were ready to start work.

After a while, Fran gathered these mobilized technical personnel together and explained to them the information that had been collected and the possible directions of the investigation.

Fran explained to these technicians that she had negotiated with Iris.

Although so far, whether the identity of Fran can learn Magic Inscription is still a matter that needs to be kept secret and hidden, but it only needs a little explanation in front of these technicians.

Fran doesn't have to show that she has a certain level of understanding of the entire Magic Inscription system like she did before. Now she can show that she has only a little knowledge.

It's like she understands what the information is, but she just doesn't know what to do next.

With only a little knowledge in hand, Construct School will not pursue it. After all, Construct School mages also have to explain the specific functions of buildings and magic devices to other School mages.

During this process, it is normal to accidentally write down some information and sum up a set of methods yourself.

As long as the knowledge he possesses cannot be applied in practice, Construct School will not pursue the case. After all, attacking other School mages also requires energy.

And now there is almost only one month left before the final acceptance time of the Propulsion Department. Now that time is getting less and less, Iris must hurry up.

That's why Fran had to explain the information to these technicians to speed up the masters' mastery of this place.

Otherwise, Fran would not want to show off his little Magic Inscription skills in front of these Construct School people. This is also risky.

Although when Fran was explaining, some mages were whispering below, seeming to have noticed the Alchemy School mage robe on Fran.

This is the standard attire required for top-secret missions. If you don't wear this dress, Fran won't be able to walk in even if you have a special identity tag.

"Alchemy School's..."

"How could she Magic Inscription..."

Although some whispers were heard, in the end no mage made any extra moves. Instead, after Fran's explanation, he threw a lot of questions to Fran.

A series of questions such as "Have you ever done such a check..." "Have you checked some circuits..." "Have you done random series connection..." etc.

Faced with these questions, Fran didn't answer a single word, because these questions obviously related to applications, and Fran shouldn't be able to answer them.

Whether these mages want to further confirm this information with Fran, or just want to test Fran's specific knowledge level, Fran will not answer.

If the answer is really given, it will be a face-off conflict. Construct School may choose to give up because of the resistance to rights protection and the high price paid.

But if there are other mages who have learned it and don't hide it well, but just show off to other mages, then Construct School will have to kill the other mages to show his majesty, no matter how high the price is.

So Fran had no reason to continue answering them. Faced with their inquiries, she hesitated and couldn't come up with a single word.

After finally getting little information from Fran, these technicians got together and began to assign work and inspect the entire Propulsion Department.

Of course, Fran was not involved in this. The Alchemy School mage robe on Fran alone was enough for them to exclude her.

Fran is also happy to be free, even if these technicians who come over will eventually share some of the Propulsion Department's related rights, Fran only needs the level of Iris to be able to access a higher level.

Just like now, although Iris can no longer decide all the affairs in the Propulsion Department, her authority level in top-secret missions is still very high.

And before these technicians arrived, Iris had a long discussion with Fourth Order Mage of Alva.

Fran was also present at the time, but couldn't get a word in.

From that conversation, Fran learned some new information.

That is, the entire top-secret mission is now issued by the retired Legendary, and they Fourth Order Mage are actually the executors.

This matter did not get the unanimous consent of Alliance Council, and it is not clear whether the Alliance's other School Chief knew about this matter.

Anyway, they were all ordered not to disclose any information about this matter to the outside world.

And in the end, Alva revealed some very important information. Fran felt that this might be Alva's other purpose for revealing such important information.

For example, I want to persuade Iris to leave Propulsion Department and stop participating in this matter.

"Now all the Battle Mage Corpss in the Alliance are busy preparing for things on Ocean, but of course that's not the case with Northern Lands Society."

"Until now, none of the Battle Mage Corpss have been notified, and none of the Battle Mages are now ready to fight."

"Now that we are about to start a war with Cult of the Sky Dragon, there is not even a well-trained Battle Mage team on Floating City."

"The power of Fourth Order Mage cannot be underestimated, but what about Fourth Order?"

"Profession fighters at our level naturally don't need to receive any combat training, because those combat skills are almost useless to Fourth Order."

"But this is not the case with Third Order Mage on Number Nine Floating City. There are too many important managers and researchers who focus on research."

"In terms of combat, Battle Mage Corps's third-level team can perform several times better than these mages, and they can also control casualties as much as possible."

"So Iris, do you understand? Maybe when we go to Cult of the Sky Dragon this time, we don't need those mages below the third level."

"It's because we Fourth Order Mage need to take action, that's why Battle Mage is not allowed to come to Number Nine Floating City as an organized area."

After that, Master Alva stopped talking, but Fran next to him also understood.

Although they were preparing to attack Cult of the Sky Dragon, the goal of Legendary, who sent the mission, did not seem to be to attack Cult of the Sky Dragon.

After all, whether it is to capture or destroy the target, pulling up the entire Battle Mage Corps may be cleaner and more convenient than Legendary.

But now there is no Battle Mage stationed on Number Nine Floating City. It seems that there is still a month left, but in fact it is already too late.

How could Battle Mage Corps, as the elite force of the Alliance, be mobilized at will? Even Legendary of School cannot bypass the program and mobilize these Battle Mage.

If we really want these Battle Mage to participate in the battle, we have to go through the procedures long ago and use other reasons to allow Battle Mage Corps to station Floating City.

But until now, there are no signs, which means that it seems that the real purpose of Legendary Oinrich is not to capture the Floating Isle island of Cult of the Sky Dragon, but has another purpose.

Alva seems to be trying to persuade Iris to quit, so that Iris will withdraw voluntarily due to the complexity of this matter.

After all, the basic base of Iris is still Northern Lands Society, and as Fourth Order Mage, even if Alchemy School is wiped out, it will be difficult to have more impact on the current Iris.

Originally Fran thought that Iris would quit Propulsion Department after the deadline for the top secret mission, but to Fran's surprise, Iris actually did not express his position.

"Thank you Master Alva for the reminder. I will make as correct a judgment as possible based on this information."

Iris's expression was very calm at that time, as if he was not frightened by the news at all, and had no intention of giving up this position.

Because if she wanted to quit, she should have expressed her stance to Alva right there, but she didn't, and her attitude was very vague.

Fran This is a bit incomprehensible. Could it be that Iris has some information that she doesn't know? Otherwise, based on the current situation, there seems to be no benefit to Iris being involved.

But since Iris has done this, Fran has no chance to object, so we can only continue to adapt to circumstances.

She calmed down, looked at the technicians who were starting to get busy, and began to think about the true purpose of this top-secret mission.

"Is the target of Legendary Sky Dragon himself?"
