Chapter 342: Traitor VanCleef

"You want me to accept a commission?"

Wayne's expression was a bit strange, looking at Shaw, whose face was a bit stiff, and he immediately became interested in his heart.

You know, as the most powerful intelligence agency in Stormwind City, although SI: 7 could not be said to be full of experts, it certainly did not lack good hands. As the leader of this organization, Shaw actually ran to issue a commission to him, which was too abnormal.

However, as an intelligence officer, Shaw's mouth was still very tight. He seemed not to want to explain too much to Wayne, just asked expressionlessly: "A bounty of five hundred gold coins, one battle."

"Such a large bounty is enough for ordinary adventurers to live comfortably for a year or two."

"And you only need to help us defeat a few enemies. This is a very cost-effective deal."

"How about it, Mr. Wayne, are you willing to accept?"

As Shaw's voice fell, the system's voice immediately came to Wayne's ears.

Ding! Master-level mission "Behind the Scenes," help SI: 7 complete this commission.

Hearing the master-level mission prompt from the system, Wayne was slightly surprised in his heart. As the golden finger that came with the crossing, the mission level prompted by the system often represented the difficulty of this mission.

Obviously, Shaw's five hundred gold coin remuneration was not easy to take, and the enemies they were going to deal with must be very simple.

Although he had already prepared to accept this mission in his heart, Shaw's attitude of deliberately concealing it made him a bit dissatisfied, and the remuneration of five hundred gold coins, who are you looking down on? Wayne the old man lacks this bit of money? So he laughed and said to Shaw in a teasing tone: "Haha, Officer Shaw, I have also heard some legends about SI: 7. Let's open the skylight and speak brightly. I think in these three days, you have already investigated a lot of information about me."

"Do you think someone with my financial resources would care about a mere five hundred gold coins?"

"Is the reward you prepared for me too insincere?"

"And without telling me any information, you want me to risk my life to fight for you. As an experienced adventurer, do I look like such a stupid person?"

Wayne's words were full of teasing and sarcasm, but Shaw was still expressionless. As an intelligence officer, keeping a straight face had become their professional instinct. Even if he knew he was indeed in the wrong, his face would not show any difference.

Perhaps because it was not easy to find an adventurer with a clean background and powerful strength like Wayne.

After being silent for a few seconds, Shaw looked at Wayne for a few seconds, and then said in a cold voice:

"VanCleef's prison break was specifically arranged by our SI: 7."

"You don't have to worry about being sneak-attacked by him."

"He has already reached an agreement with me. Whether it is the Defias Brotherhood in Westfall or the riot in Stormwind City back then, there is a mastermind behind this."

"Our goal is to ferret out this mastermind and give VanCleef a fair trial, rather than letting the past Stonemason Guild forever bear the crime." "However, according to the information of our SI: 7, this mastermind is powerful and has a deep background. It is very likely to be a big noble, and there are inside agents of the other party in both the military and the House of Nobles."

"That's why I invited an adventurer like you who just arrived in Stormwind City to participate in this matter, and only you have enough strength and a clean position."

"Mr. Wayne, if this matter can be perfectly resolved, you will gain the friendship of SI: 7, and your adventure life in the Stormwind Kingdom will become smoother in the future."

Perhaps because he really needed the help of an expert like Wayne, he didn't think he would get any explanation, but Shaw was quite sincere, telling the whole thing, and even pointing out that VanCleef had become a traitor, which was quite sincere.

Seeing this, Wayne did not make trouble unreasonably. After hearing Shaw's explanation, he hesitated for dozens of seconds as if thinking, and then agreed to this commission.

After all, compared to the actual reward of five hundred gold coins, which looked like a lot but was actually not worth mentioning, the friendship of SI: 7 seemed even more precious.

Of course, if you are a person with no use value, even if you gain the friendship of SI: 7, it just sounds good and has no practical effect.

But for a person with powerful strength like Wayne, with the excuse of friendship, it would indeed be much more convenient to handle many things in the future. After all, friendship is priceless.

After returning to the inn, Wayne immediately fell into thought.

Unlike Shaw who was in this era, as a former old player of World of Warcraft, he still knew quite a bit about the truth of certain things.

According to the information he got from the game, the mastermind behind the riot of the Stonemason Guild, the corruption of the House of Nobles, and the rampant Defias Brotherhood was the Black Dragon Princess, Onyxia.

This daughter of the Black Dragon King Deathwing was now incarnated as Countess Katrana Prestor, manipulating the House of Nobles of Stormwind City, and had a close relationship with the current Regent of Stormwind City, Bolvar Fordragon.

It is worth mentioning that the current King of Stormwind Kingdom was a semi-finished product. A few years ago, on the way to Theramore, King Varian was kidnapped by the Defias Brotherhood controlled by the Black Dragon Princess, and then split into two due to dark magic, becoming two souls, cowardly and irritable. The cowardly king was brought back, and the irritable gladiator king was likely fighting for his freedom now.

In the current power system of Stormwind City, Shaw of SI: 7, the military, and the House of Nobles checked and balanced each other, almost mastering all the power in the kingdom, and the House of Nobles was the party that mastered the most power among the three, possessing the power to formulate kingdom policies.

However, with the constant bewitchment of this Black Dragon Princess, and the Regent being controlled by magic, almost the entire House of Nobles obeyed this wealthy Countess, and the Black Dragon Princess indeed influenced the fate of this human kingdom to a certain extent.

Whether it was Westfall, Duskwood, or Redridge Mountains, the reason why these places fell into chaos had traces of the Black Dragon Princess's manipulation.

It seemed that after VanCleef was caught in jail by him in advance, perhaps he figured it out, or perhaps it was the persuasion of Shaw who was from the same school as him.

This guy turned over a new leaf, switched to SI: 7, and prepared to be a traitor, wanting to ferret out this mastermind who shrouded Stormwind City.

This was an interesting mission, and with the power of the Black Dragon Princess, it was indeed worthy of the standard of a master-level mission.
