Chapter 13: Such a big thing, of course we need to call for help!
Suras City, it is indeed here.

The imperial capital was obviously the top priority of the empire. With the cooperation of the Lu family, these cultists avoided official attention and successfully set up an ingenious "bait".

In order to ensure that the bait would be discovered reasonably and inevitably, they didn't even know where to hook up a group of time travelers as bait.
Moon roughly estimated the situation and found that he would not be in danger of an accident.

The plans of the Lu family and the Abyss Sect are likely to go very smoothly.

In the imperial capital, where probably nothing had happened in the past twenty years, cultists appeared and tried to summon demons or something.

Just by thinking about it, Moon could guess that the attention of all parties would be focused on the imperial capital.

Even a lot of defense forces in the surrounding areas will be drawn away to protect the imperial capital.

The city of Suras is a very suitable target.

The city of Surath is the gateway to the Baratheon capital.

Before the first Emperor Baratheon built the capital, Suras had always been an important military town. After the first Emperor built the capital, the city of Suras was also expanded into the gate of the imperial capital.

In addition, Suras was also a gift from the first emperor to the first Duke of Westeros.

To thank the Westeros family for their loyalty to Baratheon during the founding of the country.

That's why the House of Westeros is known as the Sword and Shield of Baratheon.

When the Queen ascended the throne, in order to show his loyalty and interest, the last Duke of Westeros sent it back to Baratheon.

At the time, this caused an unimaginable uproar.

Who could have thought that the Grand Guild of Westeros would return the strategically important city of Suratheon to the already imperiled Baratheon?
Thinking back on people's reactions at that time, Moon felt a sense of satisfaction.

This is so interesting!
In short, according to past practice, if a threat appears outside Suras, the imperial capital's defense forces will naturally rush to Suras.

vice versa!

Now, they are taking advantage of this practice.

With the support of the Lu family, their chances of success are extremely high.

But that was before.

After watching the cultists leave, Moon knocked on the wall and walked out.

Moon, with his hat pulled down, walked in the opposite direction of them.

Moon had no intention of confronting this group of cultists head-on.

This is neither in line with Moen's code of conduct nor in line with reality.

This is a stupid operation no matter how you look at it.

What Moen has to do is simple - call someone!
There are so many people in the empire, there is no reason to let them eat for nothing!
-
After watching Elmeran leave, Potter finally had the chance to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

This lady looks easy to deal with.

But who can blame him for being the superior?

You always have to be careful when dealing with them.

Otherwise, what he said casually might be heard by someone with ulterior motives and used as a comprehension, and then I, a small character like him, would be in trouble.

But the interrogation had to continue.

If you're going to act, you have to do it fully!

To Potter's surprise, he only took less than ten people to interrogate them carefully.

Porter found that his arms were knocking uncontrollably on the table a few times.

Potter was stunned for a moment and then realized that this adult wanted to see him? !
Without having time to think, Porter asked someone to replace him.

After calming down his slightly excited mood, Porter walked out of the door of the Overwatch Council.

Porter didn’t come out blind.

From the few knocks on the table just now, Potter knew that was the secret code used within their Overwatch Council.

The first two short and fast beats indicate the direction, and the last three beats after rotating the position indicate the specific direction.

This discovery made Potter, who had never doubted Moon's identity, even more certain that Moon was a big shot on the dark side of the empire.

Otherwise, how could he be so proficient in the secret language of the Supervisory Council?
But Porter would never have imagined that the secret language system of the Overwatch Council was the same as that of Moon.

I just tinkered with it myself, so how could I not be familiar with it?

Sure enough, following the instructions in the secret language, Porter soon saw a gentleman wearing an outdated top hat on the street.

When I got closer, I saw that it was the adult from last night.
"Sir, you called me to ask about that lady, right? Don't worry, that lady has returned home safely. I handled it very well and there is absolutely no possibility for you to worry about it!"

Potter was very happy to say this.

The first task was completed very well!

As long as you keep working hard like this, won’t you have a chance of promotion?
But Potter was a little curious as to why this adult was either wearing strange clothes or outdated clothes?
Porter could see that Moon's outfit was made of very fine materials, probably carefully tailored by a top tailor using the finest fabrics.

That is, why does it taste so old?

If you look more closely, you can see that this was clearly a trend during the time of Duke Nanjing!

This is outdated at best, but at worst it is pointed.
"Is the girl safe now? That's good. Remember to take good care of her safety in the future."

El Meilan's safety certainly cannot rely entirely on Potter, the yellow-headed eagle, but not being able to rely entirely on him is one thing, and whether to give instructions or not is another.

"Don't worry, sir, I understand!"

Potter quickly suppressed his extra thoughts and seriously considered the situation at hand.

This is indeed a long-term task. Although it is troublesome, the more troublesome it is, the more it means that this adult is willing to promote me!

But what surprised Porter was that after receiving a positive answer, this big shot actually gave him a surprise:
"Very good, then I should also fulfill my promise."

"S-lord?"

No, you old man, are just trying to show your small appreciation?

Are all big shots so generous?
Porter subconsciously thought of his boss.

It cannot be said that he will embezzle your performance, but he is definitely mean and stingy.

In comparison, Potter understood more and more what it meant to be a difficult kid.

No wonder big shots are big shots, the decisive difference can be seen in these small things!
But Porter didn't expect too much, he was just surprised.

I didn't think Moon would give a very good reward.

After all, he himself felt that he had no real contribution.

But what shocked Potter was that this great man said to him lightly:
"The group of Abyss Cultists in the Imperial Capital were just a group of baits. Everything you discovered last night was basically what they wanted you to see."

"Their real purpose is to draw everyone's attention to the imperial capital, so as to increase their convenience in Suras City."

"They plan to summon the devil in Suras City. The ritual is probably ready."

"You are the only one who knows about this matter. Report it to the higher-ups. No matter what, the Silver Owl will not lose you."

This is definitely an unimaginable achievement, if Porter didn't have no background and no impressive qualifications.

Otherwise, based on this one reason alone, Moon was certain that he could become a golden eagle directly.

But since Porter has no background or resume, he can only be a Silver Owl for the time being.

But it doesn’t matter. If Porter is promoted too quickly, it won’t be a good thing for him.

After all, the higher Porter's level, the more attention he will receive.

I have worked so hard to find this little brother, I can't just not use him for such a reason.

As for whether it is a pity that the credit was given to Porter.

Don't be ridiculous, Moon doesn't need any of this. In this country, or even in this world, Moon is the person who least needs so-called merit.

Because no matter how high people like Porter climb, there will always be someone stepping on their heads, but there is really no one above Moon's head!
Of course, Moon didn't dare to really show up.

After all, he was too inhumane back then.
Porter on the other side was stunned.

Summoning demons? Abyss cultists? The city of Suras?

Moon's nonchalant words made Porter wonder if there was something wrong with his brain and that he had heard it wrongly.

Otherwise, why would such a big thing be brought out so easily?
"My lord? Did you say anything wrong?"

Moon looked at Potter strangely and said:
"Why do you ask? Don't you think I should keep my promise to you?"

"No, no, absolutely not, sir, it's just that I'm too surprised. This, this is such a big thing, it doesn't seem like something that should be told to me!"

For such a big event, shouldn't you just give the order and instruct us to set off immediately?

How come I was the one who reported it?
"Now that I've told you, well, based on my understanding of the Abyss Cult, they definitely plan to start their ceremony at 6:06:06 p.m."

"It's now 10:20 in the morning. That should be enough time for you to get this done, right?"

The first demon to appear in the world, Finn, was summoned at exactly 6:06:06 pm.

Since then, the number 666 has had special meaning to the Abyss Cult and demons.

The time they summon demons will basically be as close to this as possible.

Now only I and Potter know.

They certainly won't start early.

There is still plenty of time.

Of course, Moon did not mention the part that the Lu family or even the entire Seventh Duke might be involved in this matter.

This was not something Potter was suited to know.

Potter, who is blessed by the Empire, can be a thorn in the eyes of the Abyss Cultists, but he definitely cannot be a thorn in the eyes of Qigong.

Moen, who often stabs his own people, knows how easy it is to stab one's own people.

However, judging from the fact that the Lu family dared to contact the Abyss Cultists and accomplished everything they have today, the speed at which the Seven Dukes' forces recovered was a little beyond Moon's expectations.

"The number of raids on their property was too few. They actually managed to catch their breath!"

Moon originally wanted to keep Qigong as a mascot. After all, the saying that he was the pillar of the empire was not groundless.

Seven dukes minus one Westeros is enough.

Potter estimated the time and said immediately:

"Sir, don't worry, I will definitely get this done! That is, sir, are you really sure?"

"Ah, I have no doubt of your meaning, I, I, it is just that this matter is really of great importance, sir!"

Glancing at Potter, Moon knew that he was not really worried about making a mistake. He was just too concerned and didn't dare to take the risk of an accident.

In response, Moon chuckled and stepped forward and said:

"Of course I am sure. If you want to become a golden eagle, you really need to change your timid nature."

Potter, whose thoughts were seen through, looked embarrassed, and Moon patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Well, remember this sentence."

"All men must die, and all men must serve." (Ancient Elvish)
"My lord, what is this sentence?"

Potter couldn't understand the ancient elven language, but it was the language of the dominant race of the Age of Gods.

The ancient elven language does contain strange power.

"This is a spell that can protect your soul and life. If you feel scared, just recite it."

Potter's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sir, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely get this done!"

"What are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Potter laughed dryly, looked around to make sure no one was watching them, then he said embarrassedly:

"I intend to make a false certificate and send it, your Excellency."

Make false evidence?
Could this be how you got your yellow-headed eagle?

Seeing Moon's strange look, Potter waved his hand hastily:
"My lord, don't worry. I have never done this before. It's just that this time I just took the emergency measure, right?"

"My Lord, there is really no other way to attract attention faster!"

Considering the other party's sincerity, it is indeed unlikely that he would do something as risky as forging evidence.

As Potter spoke, his eyes lit up and he asked:

"Sir, do you have any good evidence for me to submit?"

"Ah, sir, I don't mean anything else. I'm just afraid that something might go wrong and the situation will get out of control."

Porter has great distrust in his own abilities.

Moon was also a little afraid of accidents. After all, the yellow-headed eagle did have room for maneuver, but it was not a foolproof plan.

So Moon thought for a moment and took out a pen and notebook from his pocket.

After tearing off a page, he wrote a sentence on it.

After folding it and handing it to Potter, Moon instructed:

"If you find that something is wrong, you must make a big deal about it and show this note to the highest authority you can find."

"Remember, you can only use this method when the situation is truly irreversible!"

There are not many people in the imperial capital that Moon can use and trust, but there are many people who recognize Lord Westeros's handwriting.

In other words, any noble who survived that time would definitely know him.

Because for a long time, the nobles would check every day to see if they were on the execution list drawn up by Lord Westeros himself that day.

"Yes, my lord."

With insurance, Porter felt much more relieved.

But what Porter never expected was.

The adult handed me the folded paper.

He stretched out his hand towards himself again and said:
"Do you have any money? I want some."

Moon, who was not very reassured, decided to go to Suras in person and asked Porter for some money for the airship ride.

"what?"

For the first time, Potter felt that there might really be something wrong with his brain.

A big man standing at the top of the empire asked a tiny yellow-headed eagle for money?
I'm afraid if I say this to others, people will laugh their heads off.

"Ah what? Do you think I look like someone who would carry money?"

Potterton felt it was extremely reasonable. Yes, how could a big shot of this level carry money on him!
Wait until Moon took away all the gold pounds on him.

Potter still felt something was wrong.

But I can't tell what's wrong.

Such a big shot definitely doesn't have any money on him, but why would he ask me for money?
What's wrong? It's so strange!
