Chapter 1524

"The match cannot be stopped."

Yiluna shook her head, and Captain Luo Binsen beside her explained on her behalf:

"The current situation is very complicated. We cannot expose his identity, otherwise he will go crazy and hurt more people... He is strapped with steam bombs, and there are quite a few bombs buried around the arena. If we use other excuses to stop the match, it will also let the other party know he has been discovered. The Church, ahem, I mean Ridgewich Yard and MI6, plan to capture the other party in one fell swoop after the match ends. We are just a security company and don't know much about the specific plan, but Mr. Hamilton probably has to complete this duel with that madman in the arena to temporarily appease him."

Dorothy's face turned pale. Of course, although part of it was pretended, the fact that Xia De was about to face an Angel-tier relic still made her feel dizzy:

"Then what should we do now? Although Xia De is very powerful, he is no match for that foreign madman."

She looked at Yiluna and said, actually meaning that Xia De couldn't beat that Angel-tier relic, let alone that he couldn't expose his identity as a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi.

Yiluna naturally understood:

"Don't worry, someone has already gone to see Xia De. MI6 will provide him with some convenience and won't make things difficult for Xia De."

"Miss Galina will definitely protest to MI6 after this matter ends. Are they eating for free with taxpayers' money?"

The black-haired maid lady said softly, but this sentence was actually accusing the Church of the True God of letting this kind of thing happen. Captain Luo Binsen looked a bit embarrassed, but he assured the ladies in the tent:

"Mr. Hamilton will return safely. Moreover, I heard that MI6 has already discovered the helper who helped this foreign madman enter the Tobesk area; MI6 will catch them."

While the girls in the tent understood the gist of the matter and headed to the spectator stands, Xia De, who felt more and more that Sir Hells in the afternoon was very different from the morning, also welcomed some other people five minutes before the match started.

He was originally sitting in the rest area on one side of the arena, quietly observing Sir Hells while waiting for the match to start. But soon a servant ran over hurriedly and told Xia De that someone wanted to see him. So Xia De left the rest area temporarily and met his superior, Director Anluosi of MI6, and the three Ring Mages following behind him in the passage where contestants entered the arena on the side of the arena.

Among them, the tall and muscular man was the thirteenth-tier Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi of the 【Church of Creation】, "Iron Right Hand" Mr. Sari Pirot. Last year, Xia De had seen this gentleman confronting Ivan Darkness in the garden greenhouse of Yodel Palace.

"Director Anluosi? Is there something?"

Xia De asked with some surprise, but since the King and Wang Hou were both here, it was appropriate for Director Anluosi to appear here as the Director of MI6, but Xia De didn't know why he was looking for him at this time.

"Mr. Hamilton, there is an emergency mission."

Director Anluosi hesitated to speak. This was the first time Xia De had seen this gentleman with such an expression. Before this, this gentleman, who looked ordinary and had strong professional ability, had always been calm and determined:

"Your opponent, Sir Hells, has been replaced. The person there now is a spy from Karsenrik. The other party is wrapped in steam bombs. To prevent the other party from crazily hurting the audience in the arena, you need to entangle with the other party. Remember, you must win against the other party and not give the other party a chance to contact the King and Wang Hou. At the same time, you cannot show any actions that reveal you know the other party's identity. After the match ends, we will capture him."

Xia De raised an eyebrow and finally understood why Sir Hells was wrong:

"Since there are bombs, why not evacuate the audience?"

"It's too late."

Director Anluosi shook his head slightly, but in fact, it was because of the relic's characteristics. Once it discovered its identity was exposed, the destructive power of the Angel-tier relic 【Faceless Man】 was enough to destroy half of Tobesk:

"Mr. Hamilton, remember your mission: win the next match. As long as you can win, MI6 can arrest him on the grounds that the other party violated the rules by using illegal drugs."

There were many logical loopholes in this. Xia De knew this was an excuse the Church had come up with temporarily:

"How are the sword skills and strength of this agent from the Southern Gray Glove?"

He frowned. Things were really developing in the worst direction. But Xia De still didn't understand what the 【Mirror Association】 was trying to do by getting this relic here.

"Very strong, and he really took illegal drugs that stimulate the body."

"Iron Right Hand" Mr. Sari Pirot said, and then signaled his companion to bring over a slender metal box and a wooden box:

"MI6 cannot provide you with similar drugs, otherwise it will cause harm to your body. But we can give you this; this amulet and this sword will help you win."

While 【Faceless Man】 is disguised as someone else, the behavioral logic and physical fitness are almost exactly the same as the other party, but it can exert physical fitness better. Therefore, in the Church's view, it is not very simple for Xia De to win against the other party.

The first to be opened was the wooden box. Inside the box lay a dove-shaped pendant. The astonishing miracle elements showed the identity of this pendant:

"An amulet given by the Church of War and Peace. Although I don't think the amulet has any effect, this is after all the Church's good intentions."

Director Anluosi explained. Xia De nodded, hung the amulet around his neck, and then stuffed it into his armor:

"I have always believed in the guidance of the gods. Although I do not believe in this God of War, I am willing to accept His blessing."

He said quite piously. If it weren't for encountering this special situation, this top-level divine art item would absolutely not be accessible to an "ordinary person" like him.

Then the slender metal box was opened, and a one-handed sword lay in the lining of the box. The style of that sword was slightly different from the longsword provided by the Royal Family; the blade was longer, and the width was quite similar. The hilt was wrapped with black non-slip cloth strips and decorated with the holy emblem pattern of the 【Church of Creation】, which was a silver-white wrench.

Although the style of the longsword was very ordinary, in the eyes of Xia De, who had keen senses, the elements attached to this longsword, which was forged with ordinary materials and master-level techniques, had almost reached the limit that a weapon could carry.

Just the enchantment effects he could see included "Sharp Weapon," "Luck Blessing," and "Bear's Strength." Simply put, if using the games from the Outlander's hometown as a metaphor, although there were no special effects of supernatural power, this was a +13 top-level longsword.

"The feel is really good. May I ask whose work this is?"

Xia De took the longsword and swung it, asking curiously. The thirteenth-tier Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi blinked:

"This is a weapon made by the Church of Creation using an alloy that is still in a confidential state, using the ancient sword-casting techniques inherited by the Church."

"I feel that when I swing this sword, my strength has increased. Can this sword be given to me after it ends? Or I can buy it."

Xia De said this deliberately. Director Anluosi was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, while Mr. Sari Pirot remained calm and shook his head slightly:

"I am truly sorry, Mr. Hamilton. After this match, this weapon must be recycled, but the Church of Creation should not be stingy in preparing a new one-handed steel sword for you as a congratulatory gift for your victory in this competition."

Director Anluosi also added:

"I know this mission is very difficult and very urgent. If Miss Galina knew, she would definitely blame us, but now we can only rely on you. Hamilton, I promise you, as long as you can complete the mission, the reward will definitely satisfy you."

He paused slightly:

"Although this scandal cannot be exposed to the public, your salary and treatment in the Sixth Bureau will be raised by three levels, equivalent to a Deputy Director. And your current Lieutenant Colonel rank can also be raised by one level; by then, you will be the youngest Colonel in the kingdom's peaceful era. His Majesty the King also knows about this matter, and His Majesty attaches great importance to you."

Xia De nodded. If he wanted compensation, Miss Galina would definitely help him. The salary issue didn't have much impact on him, but the rank of Colonel and leaving an impression on the King would be beneficial to the development of his relationship with Lei Qianya in the future. Xia De had never thought of letting Lei Qianya always be his "secret lover."

Moreover, he couldn't really watch the characteristics of 【Faceless Man】 erupt and destroy the city where he lived.

"I will defeat him."

Xia De promised the gentlemen in front of him, and then summarized the situation in his heart:

"I am a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi, originally pretending to be an ordinary person who is not a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi, to defeat another ordinary person. Then the ordinary person I want to defeat has now also become an extraordinary person, but like me, he is pretending to be an ordinary person, and I still have to pretend I don't know the other party is not an ordinary person. In other words, I have to pretend to be an ordinary person who is not a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi, to defeat a non-ordinary person who is pretending to be an ordinary person, whom I pretend I don't know is not an ordinary person... Um, very simple."

He soon returned to his rest area, put the helmet on the chair back on, and closed his eyes to wait quietly for the match to start.

Closing his eyes and meditating made his already keen perception even more powerful. The overlapping sounds of thousands of heartbeats, the resonating sound, were as if the collective consciousness of humanity itself was trembling.

And when Xia De tried to perceive the direction of Sir Hells, he still only instinctively sensed that the other party was wrong, and could not directly determine that the other party had been replaced by a relic.

According to the characteristics of the relic 【Faceless Man】, the person replaced by the relic must be dead. Xia De didn't ask about the whereabouts of the real Sir Hells just now, because he knew the ending of the knight who had clashed with him in the morning. That knight, who had his own sea ship and had encountered many dangers on the sea, finally died on land, in a corner no one knew.

For ordinary people, this world has always been this dangerous.
