After spending a lot of time and energy, Sui Xiong finally succeeded in having Wood work for him .

If Sui Xiong considered the whole thing from the perspective of combat power, he would find that the losses definitely outweighed the gains . Wood was just a high-level paladin . He had not reached the level of pseudo-legendary power yet . At present, there were more than ten Legendary Masters in Sui Xiong’s subordinates . Thus, it didn’t matter whether Wood agreed to work for Sui Xiong or not .

But Sui Xiong still thought it was worthwhile because he knew that Wood was not a general talent, but a rare talent in intelligence work .

Currently, Clito was in charge of the intelligence work of the Republic of Northwest . Clito, the spy leader, who had been a paladin before, was good at tracking, sneaking, hiding, stealing and other special skills . However, in terms of spy thinking and intelligence analysis, he was totally a layman .

With the power of a legendary master, he could easily sneak into most places and steal all kinds of things if he wanted; he could also silently send someone who was unfavorable to the Republic of Northwest to the underworld before they even realized how they were killed . He could also trace details to find out all kinds of clues and secrets that others wanted to hide .

However, that was all he could do .

He was a good burglar, a good assassin, a good hunter and a good policeman, but he was not a good spy .

For example, not too long ago, he found that some people were monitoring Master Damwade, the one who had been chosen to be the God of Agriculture by Sui Xiong . According to Sui Xiong’s idea, he could secretly observe what these people wanted to do with his great power, or directly arrest them for interrogation to know where they were from . But Clito didn’t do that . He just raised his sword and cut these people into mosaics, like the ones in children’s movies .

Sui Xiong was speechless when he learned about that .

Why were you so violent? Don’t you think there is something wrong with what you have done?

You are a spy! A well-educated man! Why do you always think with your fists, muscles, and sword? Have you ever seen any spy that is busy fighting and killing all day?

Sui Xiong sighed deeply, but he did not know how to explain this to Clito . Sui Xiong became more and more determined to invite Wood to his team .

Although he had spent a lot of time and energy, he finally achieved that goal .

With Wood, the shortcomings of the intelligence work in the Republic of Northwest would be covered . Sui Xiong needn’t worry about Clito, who had been much better at fighting than intelligence collecting, doing something shocking again .

Clito was fit to be a lone ranger or to take a team to fight, but he was not a leader because he didn’t have the talent .

In the end, a real professional like Wood was needed to do such a job .

Sui Xiong took Wood back to his God’s Kingdom happily . He greeted Lamperus, the God of Spellcaster who had been watching from afar . What was Lamperus thinking? Since he didn’t show up to stop Sui Xiong just now, he must have accepted the result .

The gods were usually willing to fight for a believer that they truly valued . For example, when the legendary necromancer Tu Ya’an moved to the Republic of Northwest, the God of Spellcaster visited Sui Xiong and said, “I chose him long ago, and I’ve been cultivating him over the years . You can’t grab him away from me . ”

Sui Xiong certainly wouldn’t do that, but he thought Lamperus was too confident about himself . It was clear that what Tu Ya’an pursued was immortality . Although Tu Ya’an had to return to the God’s Kingdom after death, nobody knew when that day would come or whether it would come at all .

Wood, by contrast, was a better choice . He was talented and professional . Moreover, he was a mortal, so he couldn’t live a very long life . Sui Xiong just had to wait 80 to 100 years at most, and then Wood would die and report to his God’s Kingdom obediently .

But things would be different if he chose Tu Ya’an . As far as Sui Xiong had known, there were quite a lot of demigod masters in the world today who were born shortly after the formation of the Big Circulation and the restart of heaven and earth . Although most of them were in a state of seclusion, they would still continue to live endlessly unless the world was destroyed once again .

Sui Xiong was in a good mood because he thought he was wiser than Lamperus . He kept smiling when he helped bring Wood back to life .

Wood didn’t know why he was happy, but as a spy, he didn’t have the bad habit of making random inquiries, so he just kept silent .

However, when he saw the body that Sui Xiong had prepared for his resurrection, he finally opened his mouth .

“Please modify my figure and appearance,” Wood Said . “It will be better for me to be very different from the past . ”

Sui Xiong was confused . He stopped the work at hand and turned to look at Wood .

“Do you know that it will reduce the degree of fit between your soul and your body?”

Wood raised his eyebrows . “I do now . ”

“And do you still insist on modifying the body?”

Wood thought about it carefully and nodded .

“Why?” Sui Xiong asked curiously .

Wood gave a bitter smile and replied, “It’s just a farewell to the past . The old me is dead, and now I want to live with a new face . ”

“It’s just self-deception . You’re still you after all,” Sui Xiong said .

“But at least it can give me some psychological comfort . And it can also reduce unnecessary trouble,” Wood said .

“Trouble?” Sui Xiong sneered and patted him on the shoulder . “Let me tell you one thing . My subordinates never have to be afraid of trouble!”

On his honest jellyfish face, a fierce expression emerged . “Over the years, those who dared to make trouble with us are basically unable to disturb others anymore . Recently, our troubles are getting less and less . To be honest, I’m not quite used to it . If there’s some trouble, that’s good . I’m too bored now . ”

Wood didn’t say anything further . This new boss was absolutely arrogant; his glorious achievements over the years did deserve such pompous speech .

But he persuaded Sui Xiong at last . After all, Sui Xiong didn’t have the bad habit of insisting on his own opinions and making others feel uncomfortable .

A few minutes later, Wood got up from the ground and looked at his new look in a temporary magic mirror next to him .

Unlike the handsome but apparently not young artist of the past, he was now a tall and brave young man . He was at least one head taller than he had been in the past . With broad shoulders and a thick body, he looked strong and powerful at the first glance . Moreover, he could clearly feel that his body contained amazing power . He felt he could crush iron into pieces if he gripped it with his hand .

“Am I imagining things? I feel like I’m full of strength now,” he couldn’t help but murmur to himself . “If this is real, maybe now I am able to fight with a dragon without using any weapons . ”

“Of course that’s real,” Sui Xiong smiled and said . “Your body was created by me, so how could it be weak? Although you look like a human being now, you are essentially a legendary creature . ”

Sui Xiong paused for a moment and then said, “What’s more, you’re stronger even among the legendary creatures!”
