[Shadow Clone] Active - Once activated, this ability allows the user's shadow to grow flesh and blood, becoming a clone identical to the original, possessing complete thought processes and all memories.
Note: The clone cannot stray more than 8 kilometers from the main body.
Note: Once Shadow Clone is formed, both the original and the clone will lose their shadow.
Chewing on the fragrant mutton, Logo glanced at the ground out of the corner of his eye.
The lights from the dome above shone down, but there was no shadow on the ground beneath Reiner.
This proves that Reiner's Shadow Clone ability is activated.
"Interesting." Logo chuckled to himself, but didn't pay it much attention.
He doesn't have the habit of meddling in other people's business.
Whether other people can split up or not is none of my business.
The reason for the surprise is that the ability to create clones is relatively rare.
Soon after, the dishes that Reiner had ordered were brought up by the waiter.
"Sir, would you be interested in trying the dishes I ordered?" Reiner asked with a smile, extending an invitation to Logo.
Logo generally does not refuse kindness shown to him by others.
Under the scrutiny of his Eye of Insight, no poison could harm him.
Therefore, Logo readily accepted Reiner's invitation, switched places with Caesar, and began chatting with this short, stout humanoid man while they ate.
"You're actually a mid-level alchemist? I was mistaken. Judging from your appearance, you're probably not even an adult yet, are you?" Reiner said in surprise.
Logo replied without changing his expression, "I'm already an adult; I just look young."
"Oh, okay." Reiner didn't dwell on the matter.
The two continued their conversation.
Suddenly, groups of Guta Star People dressed in black with cold expressions surrounded them from all directions.
Reiner's expression changed drastically, a look of disbelief flashing across his face, as if he had never expected such an outcome.
"Luckily I had a backup plan, otherwise..." Reiner thought to himself how close he had come to disaster. Then, his consciousness vanished, and he collapsed like a boneless animal. The next moment, his body disintegrated into a sky full of black shadows, disappearing without a trace like smoke.
The lead agent strode forward, but it was too late.
"Boss, the target committed suicide?"
"No, this isn't suicide, it's an escape! This is a huge problem!" Agent leader Wayne's face turned ashen; he couldn't imagine what would happen next.
"Boss, this guy was having a very pleasant conversation with the target just now. Do you think we should take him back and investigate him?" an agent said after glancing at Logo.
Wayne thought for a moment, then waved his hand, "Take him away!"
Unexpectedly, at that moment, Logo took out the count's gold emblem issued by the Gendaya Royal Court, placed it on the table, and under the light, it reflected a faint golden light.
"Wait a minute!" Wayne quickly raised his hand to stop the other agents.
Stepping forward, Wayne picked up the Earl's gold badge and examined it for a moment before scanning it with his wristwatch, quickly confirming Logo's identity.
Earl of Gendaya Royal Court
Although Logo was not a diplomatic ambassador and did not enjoy diplomatic immunity, his status made Wayne hesitant to act rashly.
As Wayne hesitated, Logo explained, "I just bumped into that fat guy by chance while we were eating. He treated me to dinner, and we chatted casually for a bit. You can check the hotel's security footage. Lip reading shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Wayne Logo, who remained calm and composed, a deep look before nodding slightly. "Excuse me, Your Excellency, let's call it a day!"
Several teams of agents from the Guta Federation Central Intelligence Agency then left the restaurant.
Logo put away the count's gold badge.
The Gendaya Royal Court is the legitimate government of the Elven Plane. Although its overall strength is hundreds of times weaker than that of the Guta Federation, as long as the latter abides by international law, it will not arbitrarily detain a Royal Court count, as such behavior could easily lead to international disputes.
Furthermore, the Guta Federation is known for its adherence to rules and regulations. In diplomacy, it has always upheld the principle of harmony and peace. Even towards weaker nations, it treats them as equals, advocates peaceful coexistence, does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, focuses solely on business, and strives for common prosperity.
Otherwise, the Guta Federation would not have gained the support of all parties.
In such circumstances, with the added advantage of his status, and by giving Wayne a way out, the latter would not pursue the matter excessively.
Lip reading? That's all nonsense.
If they were truly plotting something, they wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal it directly; they would use methods like telepathy or encrypted communication—there are far too many options.
They would never meet in public; that's just something you see in movies.
Wayne understood this as well, and deep down he was basically certain that Logo was not one of Reiner's accomplices.
His reason for wanting to take Logo away was to find a scapegoat, so that he would at least have an explanation for his superiors and not leave empty-handed.
But Logo's identity made him abandon this plan.
After a brief exchange, Wayne backed down and left.
Logo continued to calmly enjoy the delicious food on his plate, as if nothing had happened. In his mind, however, he muttered to himself, "Heh, even the Central Intelligence Agency has been mobilized. This fat guy's got some skills. Looks like this is going to be interesting."
