Chapter 393: A difficult task
Chapter 387 – A Difficult Task to Accomplish
The insignificant character who once bowed and scraped just to survive has long since been honed at the grassroots level. It was he who led the grassroots forces in a brutal assassination war against the Black Hand in the north during the collapse of the empire. At the cost of losing an eye, he personally killed Little Pinky. This is also the reason why Owen chose him; after all, it’s common knowledge that a shield goes well with a one-eyed warrior.
“Let’s look at this plan first.” Owen looked at Harvey who wore an eyepatch with a slightly weathered look on his face, nodded his head in satisfaction with his image and said, although he was not bald, his temperament was quite compatible.
Received the information to spend quite a bit of time carefully flipped through it, Harvey asked a few questions, the heart of the matter, he took over the task.
“Very good, I’m very optimistic about you.” Owen made a point of presenting him with a black leather trench coat and a new eye patch before signing the appointment letter and other documents.
Harvey, who had put on the black trench coat and a new eyepatch, respectfully accepted the appointment letter signed by Owen, along with a box of S.H.I.E.L.D. style badges.
“From today, you are the Minister of the Sacred Shield, with powers independent of all the departments of the territory, and directly responsible to me.” This opening of Owen’s mouth bestowed no small amount of power, even Maya, who was known as the uncrowned queen of the Northern Glory Alliance, was unable to interfere with Harvey’s actions, and this further made Harvey feel a great pressure and honor.
“In addition to Jonathan, I’ve also transferred the Blood Maggie Angie to you as the deputy minister, Death Blade Vanessa as the head of the action team, necromancer Mog as the magic advisor, and the rest of the manpower you deploy yourself from the territory.” Owen’s words caused Harvey to suck in a breath of cold air, with his present day urbanity he was somewhat unable to suffer.
Necromancer Mog, originally one of the members of the Imperial Capital Mage Corps, but was cursed to become undead, but this did not affect his rich knowledge, enough to serve as a magical advisor, this point Harvey did not have a problem.
Death Blade Vanessa, the territory’s top assassin, a legendary swordsman and warrior, but also a famous legendary hunter and killer, if he is the eye that stares at the black hand so that there is no place for it to hide, then Vanessa is the sharp blade that cuts the black hand.
If Vanessa’s addition just made Harvey feel valued, then Angie’s addition was shocking.
Few people knew that there was a demigod in the territory, and that was Angie who had absorbed the divinity left behind by whichever demigod bloodline had been there in the first place.
A high level necromancer, a legendary hunter, and a blood demigod, together they could set off a natural disaster in any power’s territory, how could he have these three as his men, the only reason is that the mission of the Sacred Shield is not that simple, Harvey thought with a secret sigh.
Seeing Harvey’s gloomy expression, Owen nodded with satisfaction, good, not mesmerized by the benefits he gave, still sober, and immediately perceived the problem, so he continued.
“Cleaning up the Demon’s Head in the Northlands, the Church of Flesh and Blood, the Undead Casters, and the Evil Energy, these are just the regular missions, the Holy Shield has four more long-term missions.” Owen paused and then said something that made Harvey’s eyes jump.
“Gather intelligence on the Imperial Capital and the original site of Academy City, and search for the missing Academy City and the Trail of Heaven.”
Harvey, who reached out a hand to press down on his blindfold, couldn’t help but raise the thought of is it too late to retire.
There was no way, in the past thirty years, I don’t know how many people or forces were interested in these four events, and countless people died because of this, even some powerful organizations and legendary powerhouses, but none of those who dared to go deeper came back alive.
“It is not required for you to go deep and explore now, gather enough information first.” Owen knew that this was a difficult situation, otherwise he would have already gone himself, so he opened his mouth to pacify.
Harvey then sighed in relief, then pondered for a moment and put forward some conditions. For the conditions that Harvey put forward, Owen didn’t care, because he was the orderer and the other party was the executor, without providing strong support, how could he get things done.
After getting the desired conditions, Harvey hurriedly turned around and left, fearing that Owen would propose any more super tasks that would make him lose his hair.
He was not afraid of death, and the system transformed was not going to disobey Owen’s orders, Harvey was afraid of his lack of ability to get things done.
Harvey was very clear about how big the involvement of these four things was, it was not too much to say that the whole world was paying attention, so once there was a mistake and someone grabbed the tail and found the territory, it would definitely be a big trouble.
The good thing was that there was no time limit for the mission, which gave Harvey more time to plan, just like when he had eradicated the Black Hand’s manpower in the Northlands, but for now, let’s go and take over the base that the Lord had rewarded the Sacred Shield with first.
The third floor of the ruins had an additional strange tower compared to before, and it was fortunate that the space here was being constantly expanded, otherwise it wouldn’t really fit.
It was actually a waste of worry, this tower was far more magical than one would normally imagine.
The tower occupied the position of the original Void Magic Well, and had apparently integrated the Void Magic Well into the tower, becoming the tower’s energy core.
Because of the huge void magic, this tower can enter the void or between the two at any time, as long as the means of attack can not break the space, then the tower can be immune to the damage from the void and the main world, and this is only a part of the tower’s function in the continuous improvement of the insignificant.
This was the soldier building that Owen had exchanged from the system Heroes Invincible World, a mage tower capable of recruiting Academy City’s fourth-ranked mages.
Compared to summoning mages in batches, this mage tower, which Owen had fused with the magic guilds from Heroes Invincible, was more suitable for all kinds of magical research, so in addition to the recruited mages, the caster corps also stayed in it, becoming one of the forces that perfected this tower, and one of the two major scientific research centers of the future territory.
Since it was so important, it was a dream for ordinary people to get close to it, not to mention entering it, but with the permission given by Owen, Harvey smoothly entered here and then found the necromancer Mog who was waiting for him.
“Where is the base of the Sacred Shield?” Harvey only knew to come here to find Mog, but didn’t know where the Holy Shield’s base was, so he opened his mouth and asked.
“It’s right here, it’s already started the second round of testing, and will be able to take it away once the testing is completed, and will return every six months for maintenance and improvement.” Although Mog has become undead, but complete retention of the consciousness of life, at this time the tone with a few points of excitement said to Harvey, obviously even if in life in the imperial capital to see a lot of knowledge, but also for today’s heard and seen feel amazed.
Harvey heard and understood that the base of the sacred shield is not an underground base like the root, but a magical base that can move freely, and immediately energized his spirit.
Root’s base is of course good, not only big, all aspects of the facilities are also very perfect, but only suitable for the territory, because if built outside the territory, once discovered, even the best base will fall into endless passive, so the base that can be moved is the most suitable for the Sacred Shield.
