Reincarnation: The Soul of Dashul

Chapter 222 Escort Mission

The pair of dark eyes on Ledo's high nose bridge revealed a very complicated look at this moment. It can be seen that his emotions must be mixed, just like the glass walls of the buildings outside the window, which are constantly changing colors, from light blue to dark purple, from orange-red to golden yellow, like a huge palette, bringing ever-changing complexity and mystery to the city center.

"So you're still alive... That's good! How could I let you die so easily!" A dark light flashed in Ledo's eyes again, and his tone was full of murderous intent. Countless torturous scenes kept emerging in his mind, and he seemed to feel very happy just thinking about it.

Just now, Maria's father, Philip, the president of the International Contract Agency, came to Ledo's room in person and gave a detailed account of the investigation into the bounty hunter from that year.

President Philip first expressed his regret that he had not yet found any intelligence of real value. He could only confirm that the six shadows who claimed to be the Six Evil Lords mentioned by Ledo, who were called the "Six Dead Souls" by people in the underworld, were not six people, but just one person. He is still working for the Mo Xia Hermit of the Qianlis Empire, but his whereabouts are extremely secretive. Even the highest level of the Mo Xia Hermit cannot track him down and can only wait and see.

President Philip explained everything to Ledo. The bounty mission files of that year had been burned. It was obvious that it was deliberately covered up. The person behind it almost erased all traces, making it impossible to investigate. However, the life of the Six Dead Souls was saved, which showed that this person was very important and the person who put the bounty on him could not keep his mouth shut.

President Philip told Ledo about his future plans. He would set up a trap to lure the six dead souls out of the mountain, send his confidants to make friends with him secretly, and conduct an in-depth investigation into this person and the truth behind what happened back then. Once he had any news, he would send someone to deliver the information personally no matter where Ledo was.

Although Ledo had expected this, he was still disappointed. Even the International Contract Agency, one of the top five bounty organizations in the world, which was considered the highest level within the organization, had failed to find any results in its investigation.

Ledo remembered what his adoptive mother had told him, that his uncle, Fire Walker, was a famous swordsman in the Qianlis Empire. He had been secretly investigating the incident since that year, but his investigation had been fruitless and extremely strange.

Although little information was obtained by entrusting President Philip with help this time, it was not completely fruitless. Ledo at least confirmed that his enemy from that year was still alive. The divine ape Bai Kongqing had previously told Ledo that the "Six Charms Lord" was still active in the bounty hunter profession, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.

Although it was unknown what superb means the Six Enchantress had used to escape perfectly from the angry Master Raziel, he was still alive and became a big target for Ledo, spurring Ledo to become stronger.

Philip's information was very accurate, and completely consistent with what Ledo already knew but had not told outsiders. The matter came to a temporary end. After Ledo expressed his gratitude again and again, he stated that he would set off tomorrow and continue to head towards the capital of the Dashur Empire - the Royal City of Yggdrasil.

The next afternoon, Ledo completed his daily training and came out of the small world of the Mountain and Sea Map. He removed the seal and barrier of the room, packed his luggage, and prepared to bid farewell to Philip and officially set off.

When Ledo arrived at the top floor of the Eltar Building, Maria and a strange middle-aged man were already waiting in Philip's room.

"Ledo, this is my uncle Bernard, my father's younger brother. He will come with us on this bounty mission to deliver the Specsat Magic Mirror to the Royal City of Yggdrasil." Maria changed into a white magician's robe, like a beautiful swan.

Ledo clasped his fists and greeted Bernard. He unconsciously exuded elemental sensing power, wanting to see how powerful the person in front of him was. Ledo could not detect the realm of the magician who was much higher than his level.

However, Ledo has his own peculiar way of judging. Although it is not completely accurate, it is almost correct. Ledo has seen many magicians since he was a child, from low-level magicians to high-level magicians, from magic apprentices to Nine-Origin magicians. He has seen them all and has personally sensed the elemental fluctuations on them.

Ledo's Insights and Knowledge are extremely magical. It can automatically and accurately record all the elemental fluctuations of different levels. In this way, although Ledo's magic realm is not high, he can make a simple horizontal comparison based on the intensity of various magic fluctuations recorded in the Insights and Knowledge, and then predict a magician's realm.

Of course, if a magician deliberately hides his elemental fluctuations, there is nothing that can be done. Ledo can only be more careful and cautious. After all, he is still very young and needs a long time of hard work and practice.

"Are we also taking that magic airship?" Yesterday, Ledo saw a large flying passenger ship flying through the sky at close range. It was quite spectacular. He was very interested and wanted to experience it when he took a ride today.

Yesterday, Ledo and Maria bid farewell to Baidi Yingdai and Zhou Zhengjing at the aviation terminal in Mavaria District City. Zhou Zhengjing accepted Baidi Yingdai's request for help and agreed to go back to Qinchuan Empire with her to settle some private matters of her family.

The city of Mavaria is an important transportation hub in the central part of the Dashur Empire. Naturally, it has direct routes to the other five empires. As long as the citizens of the Dashur Empire go through the necessary simple procedures, they can take various international transportation vehicles to travel to all parts of the world.

"Magic airship? Come to think of it... I've never taken one. I wonder if there are any domestic routes? Uncle San, how about we take a public airship instead?" Maria had never taken a magic airship before. When Ledo mentioned this, she became interested.

"Katharina! That won't do. Our escort mission this time is very important." Bernard didn't say much. Although he was Philip's younger brother, he looked older than Philip, and his beard was all gray.

"It took a long time to repair this Specsat Mirror. It was commissioned by the current Minister of Magic of the Empire. You must deliver it to its destination intact. Completing this task will bring great reputation to our International Contract Agency." Philip saw that his daughter was about to act willful and hurriedly explained the seriousness of the matter.

"There's no other way... I'd better just take the family's commercial spaceship. It's really troublesome. What era is it now? Those powerful magic teleportation arrays can't even teleport a magic mirror. It's so backward!" Maria felt uncomfortable when she thought of the magic mirror.

Philip looked at Ledo, then glared at Maria: "Don't mess around. The Specsat Mirror is too valuable. We dare not use the magic circle to teleport. What if, like five years ago, the mirror is directly torn into several pieces by the chaotic elemental fluctuations? Wouldn't that mean our efforts will fail again?"

"Alright, alright, I was just kidding. This is Ledo's first mission after joining the guild. As a 'senior' among bounty hunters, I am of course obligated to help him familiarize himself with the business procedures. I have already dispatched a merchant ship, and with Uncle San coming along, there will be absolutely no problem with this mission." Maria looked at Ledo with her eyebrows slightly raised, indicating that he didn't need to worry and it could be easily accomplished.

"A mirror? It took ten years to repair it?" Ledo's attention at this moment was attracted by the object called the Specsat Magic Mirror.

"That... is not an ordinary magic mirror." Philip paused for a moment. He was obviously hesitant and thought quickly about whether to tell everyone.
