There was no surprise on Wei Liao's face.
As the head of the intelligence departnt, he naturally knew the identity of the young man before him like the back of his hand.
He was just a little puzzled.
It was said that this Gandalf was one of the suspects responsible for the complete annihilation of Principal Lin Zhu's exploration team.
He had been held in high-priority detention before.
But now, looking at Marshal Zhao's attitude towards him, it was clearly not the case.
Intelligent as he was, he did not ask further, but simply voiced his concerns.
"I know, Mr. Gandalf, as an SS-Class Professional, is indeed very strong compared to ordinary Professionals."
"However, Tokyo City, as the main city of Sakura Country, is full of experts."
"There are also Watada Heizan and Soma Kousuke, two SS-Class Professionals, stationed there."
"They are both powerhouses above Rank 70, and Soma Kousuke's Rank might even exceed 80."
"Mr. Gandalf has no experience in infiltration; once exposed, he might find it very difficult to deal with those two."
Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, showed a faint smile on his face.
"You don't need to worry about these matters, Minister Wei."
"You just need to help arrange for replaceable infiltration personnel."
He paused, then added, "Oh, and it's best to arrange for five or more."
"As for the rest, I will act according to the circumstances."
Wei Liao's brows furrowed deeper, and he still wanted to say sothing.
But Marshal Zhao waved his hand, interrupting him directly.
"Alright, just do as he says."
The old Marshal's voice was beyond doubt.
"By the way, set the confidentiality level of this conversation to the highest."
"Besides the three of us, absolutely no fourth person must know."
Wei Liao's heart tensed, and he imdiately straightened his back.
He nodded respectfully.
"Understood, I will go arrange it now."
"The infiltration operation can comnce within a week at the earliest."
Having said that, he no longer procrastinated and turned to leave the office quickly.
The heavy solid wood door slowly closed behind him.
Only when his footsteps completely disappeared at the end of the corridor did Marshal Zhao turn his gaze back to Zhou Huai.
His deep, tiger-like eyes held a clear trace of confusion.
"You clearly only have one token of the faceless."
"Why did you ask him to arrange five replaceable infiltration personnel?"
Zhou Huai pondered for a mont, then decided to be frank.
After all, the upcoming plan could not do without the strong support of this old Marshal.
Controlling Gandalf, he calmly dropped a bombshell.
"Marshal Zhao, I forgot to tell you."
"Ouyezi, the Forging Master of Donghai City, is also my Clone."
"I should be able to forge more badges through him."
"What?"
Marshal Zhao's eyes, which had been as still as an ancient well, suddenly widened at that mont!
The old Marshal, usually as steady as a mountain, once again showed a slight loss of composure.
Ouyezi!
Although far away in Donghai City, Marshal Zhao had naturally heard of this na.
After all, he was the future Divine Craftsman of Great Xia Country who, by his own power, defeated Nakamura Shin'ichirō, the Forging Grandmaster of Sakura Country!
Marshal Zhao had previously intended to send soone to invite Ouyezi from Donghai City to the Imperial Capital for key protection and cultivation.
But now, Gandalf told him that Ouyezi was also his Clone?
How could this not shock the old Marshal?
He had originally thought that the Clones created by the other party should all be combat-oriented Professions.
He never expected that he even dabbled in lifestyle Professions.
Moreover, he could still beco a ceiling-level existence in that Profession's Domain!
However, he still didn't quite understand.
Marshal Zhao forcibly suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart and raised the most crucial question.
"Even if Ouyezi is your Clone and can forge legendary equipnt,"
"But this badge has no blueprint; how do you plan to forge it?"
Zhou Huai smiled at the remark.
"If there's no blueprint, I can draw it myself."
His tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"At that ti, I'll trouble Marshal Zhao to provide the corresponding rare Materials."
No blueprint, can draw it himself?
Why does this sound so unfamiliar?
Marshal Zhao was a little stunned.
He subconsciously pressed further, his voice trembling slightly.
"Wait a minute, are you saying... your Ouyezi Clone can draw forging blueprints himself?"
"And can successfully forge equipnt based on the blueprints he draws?"
Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, smiled noncommittally, which was considered an affirmation.
"Hiss—!"
Marshal Zhao couldn't help but gasp!
His deep, tiger-like eyes stared intently at Zhou Huai, his gaze filled not only with shock but also # Nоvеlight # an indescribable ecstasy!
A Forging Master who could create forging blueprints himself!
In this world, he was absolutely unique!
Even the Divine Craftsman of Sakura Country could never achieve this!
He imdiately realized the importance of this Clone!
This was no longer a simple Genius!
This was a strategic weapon capable of changing the entire Great Xia Country, and even the entire world's pattern!
Marshal Zhao's breathing beca rapid.
He slamd the table, his voice hoarse with excitent.
"Imdiately! Now! Bring this Clone of yours to the Imperial Capital!"
"From now on, whatever rare Materials you need, our military will provide them for free! As much as you want!"
Zhou Huai had long expected Marshal Zhao to have this attitude.
He did not refuse, nodding very readily.
Instead of Ouyezi continuing to stay in the small Donghai City, it was better to let him rely on the country, the strongest support.
The Material resources that the military could provide were definitely incomparable to what Donghai City could offer.
This would also be absolutely beneficial to the future developnt of the Eternal Night Guild, with no harm whatsoever.
The next day.
Donghai City Forging Guild.
Several dark green military off-road vehicles broke the morning's tranquility, their tires violently rubbing against the ground, leaving several dark marks at the guild's entrance.
The car door opened.
A team of fully ard soldiers jumped out of the car, their movents uniform.
Leading them was a young military officer with the Rank of captain on his shoulder.
His face was stern, his eyes like an eagle's, and he strode into the guild's main entrance.
"Who is in charge here?"
President Gu Yan, who was instructing apprentices, heard the sound and his heart skipped a beat.
He quickly put down the iron tongs in his hand, hurried to et them, and put on a respectful smile.
"Gentlen, I am President Gu Yan here."
"May I ask what brings you here, gentlen?"
The young military officer's gaze lingered on him for a mont.
"By order of Marshal Marshal Zhao, we are here to escort Great Master Ouyezi to the Imperial Capital."
President Gu Yan was completely stunned.
Marshal Zhao?
That was the supre commander of the entire Great Xia Country's military!
He had thought that one day, a person as remarkably talented as Great Master Ouyezi would eventually be noticed by the important figures in the Imperial Capital.
But he never expected that this day would co so quickly, and with such a grand display!
It was actually Marshal Zhao himself who gave the order!
Soon, Ouyezi walked out under everyone's gaze.
His face was stained with so furnace ash, his expression calm, and his eyes, as still as an ancient well, showed no ripples.
The young military officer's gaze fell on Ouyezi, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He had originally thought that the person he was to pick up would be an old man.
He never expected him to be so young.
"Great Master, please."
He turned sideways and made a gesture to invite him.
Ouyezi nodded, saying nothing more.
He just turned around, his gaze slowly sweeping over every guild mber present.
"While I am away, you must forge diligently."
"Do not disgrace the reputation of us Forging Masters."
"Great Master!"
"Great Master, you cannot leave!"
"We still need your guidance!"
The apprentices could no longer hold back, their eyes red, their voices choked with sobs.
Ouyezi smiled, his smile carrying a hint of warmth.
"All good things must co to an end."
"Take care, everyone!"
Having said that, he no longer showed any reluctance, turning and walking towards the door.
The assistant, Lin Wei, watched Ouyezi's retreating figure, a mix of emotions in her heart.
With red eyes, she hurried after him, her voice hoarse.
"Great Master, the journey to the Imperial Capital is long; I hope... you take good care of yourself."
Ouyezi's footsteps paused slightly, but he did not turn back.
"You too."
"The guild, I entrust to you."
With that, he got into the military off-road vehicle without looking back.
The car door closed, cutting off everyone's view.
The military vehicles let out a low roar, stirring up a cloud of dust, and sped away.
