Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage 129 New Clues

The mood in the conference room was heavy. The sect leaders were looking at each other while they had heavy faces.

"Did you read the reports?"

"Yes. The mission on the island of Penghu was a total failure and we lost hundreds of members "

"It looks like the other half fork was inside the stomach of a rank 7 sea beast. There was no way to get that piece, the mission was bound to fail when the rank 7 sea beast appeared."

"Our losses were heavy this time. Of the four hundred members we sent, only two hundred returned alive "

"This was not the biggest problem. The mission to steal the European Union's magic equipment was also a complete failure. On the contrary, someone stole the magic equipment before us "

"The report says that the magic equipment was inside a military security cell, but a daily inspection showed that the equipment had suddenly disappeared. How is this possible??"

"None of us know why, not even the spy. He was with the inspection group as usual, but for some reason, the magic equipment disappeared into the security cell. You must know that that cell is one of the safest in the world and at least five Saint Mage protect the cell. It is impossible for someone to steal magic equipment without someone knowing it "

"I think the report is wrong because that can't happen. Steal something in front of more than five Saint Mage? This is impossible, moreover, no alarm sounded or anything like that. The equipment suddenly disappeared as if it were air. That kind of thing doesn't happen all of a sudden, something must have happened. "

"Besides, the military and the government have sealed all means of information on the matter, nothing has been shown in the media or spread to other countries. They are giving top priority to this matter in secret "

"This may have something to do with young Liu Yang because he was the person who sold the magic equipment"

"I think not. The sale was made a long time ago, and Liu Yang is just an intermediary mage, besides, he didn't even leave China. How can he steal something from the Union of European Nations? This is an insane thing to think about "

"But he managed to damage a barrier erected by several Saint Mage while he is at the intermediate level. He must have some tricks. "

"Even with these little tricks, it is impossible to steal anything from that security cell. The soldiers of the European Union are not idiots, they put all kinds of barriers, equipment to detect magic energy, amulets, anti-magic surveillance cameras, anything to protect and watch the magic equipment of the God of the Elements.

To improve security, only ordinary people who have not awakened their powers can enter the room. To ensure that the person does not really have magical power, the Union of European Nations sealed the bodies of visitors. That is, no type of magic equipment or magic energy can be used inside the room.

To be able to steal something from that security room without activating an alarm or being filmed by security devices. That person is really amazing. "

"Or it could be a second alternative."

"What kind of alternative?"

"I think the magic equipment was not stolen, but hidden elsewhere"

"Why you say that? Is it possible that they are just pretending? "

"Yes, that's what I think. You should know that the security room is impenetrable and it is impossible to steal something from there without activating an alarm "

"Yes"

"So how is it possible that something suddenly disappeared from the security room?"

"This is a little difficult to think about"

"The answer is simple: The magic equipment inside the security room is a scam. The real thing must be somewhere else. "

"I see… I understand your point. But why would the Union of European Nations do something like that? Besides, they need to find another safe place to do this "

"This is simple. They want to make it look like the magic equipment has been stolen. But in fact, the magic equipment has always been with them and safely stored elsewhere. Furthermore, I think that only a few people know where the magic equipment is hidden. "

"This is an interesting solution to outwit potential thieves. But isn't their performance too exaggerated? They are very desperate and spending money looking for magic equipment "

"If they are not convincing enough, who will believe them?"

"That's true"

"What we need to do now is try to locate that other location and steal it."

"I will be dispatching spies to verify this matter. We managed to infiltrate some spies in the big shots of the Union of European Nations "

"Don't ask them, they can be too obvious. Ask the most common spies to gather information first "

"Okay."

"How this matter is closed. We can proceed with the other matter. How is our information network at USANF and the Southern Alliance? "

"We managed to infiltrate a few more spies into the government and the military. But they cannot do the missions yet, as they can raise suspicions "

"Tell them to do what they are asked to do, and to pretend they are not members of the sect. They need to gain more influence in those places "

"These orders have already been given."

"How matters have been resolved. Our next goal is to steal the magic equipment that is with the British royal family. Does anyone have any ideas?"

"Yes"

The group of leaders of the Returning God Sect held the meeting for several hours. They discussed what to do to steal the God of the Elements' next magic equipment.

After failing twice, they were determined to succeed this time.

…

While various things were happening in China and at the headquarters of the Return God Sect.

Other things were happening in the Union of European Nations.

The union's headquarters were located in Germany, after hundreds of years running the union. The headquarters was moved there.

The building was gigantic and made of crystal, the building was majestic and powerful. From the beginning of construction to the end, each part of the building was reinforced with magic to have more durability and resistance to attacks. The building was the symbol of the current Union of European Nations.

The place was in turmoil, people were running from side to side, while some were shouting. The place was crazy.

The union's conference room was located at the top of the headquarters. Many people were already sitting on the chairs around a large table. Each of these people was a member leader of the union.

"I believe that everyone knows the reason for this meeting, right?" A middle-aged man asked. He was the German chancellor, the leader of Germany. The group is speaking in English.

"Yes. Everyone reads the reports? "

"Yes"

"This will make the meeting faster. What is your opinion on this? "

"After a brief conversation between us. The only answer we got is that the theft is related to the Return God Sect"

"Is that the general consensus?"

"Yes"

"It seems that we all came to that same conclusion. But the question is, how did they do it? If no trace of magical energy was detected inside the security cell "

"This is still a mystery to everyone, even the military has a big headache on this issue. They are also trying to understand how that happened. The cameras have already been checked and the place analyzed by several Saint Mage, but none of them managed to find any kind of clue. This kind of situation is unbelievable "

"There is only one way to steal something from inside the cell. Entering it, it seems that some of our soldiers are spies from the Return God Sect. Send the order to check all the guards and soldiers who have entered the room to check the magic equipment for the past thirty days, all of them. "

"The order has been issued"

"We need to know who the spies of the Return God Sect are, they must be infiltrated into the military and the government."

"It will be difficult to clean all spies, many of them must be ordinary citizens who can't even use magic"

"Leaving this matter aside. A new report has been delivered now, you've read it "

"Yes"

"Not"

"Yes"

"Not"

…

"Those who haven't read it yet should read it quickly to stay up to date"

People who didn't read the report started to read quickly, they were shocked by what they were reading.

"That's true?"

"Yes. I confirmed with some influential people, and it's true "

"This boy again ... why is he so lucky to find one of the lost equipment of the God of Elements"

"This is not the biggest problem. This boy named Liu Yang threw away the piece of magic equipment he found. The problem is that the Return God Sect has the other piece of equipment and they must try to locate the rank 7 sea beast that ate the other piece. This shows that the sect has at least one of the three missing equipment. "

"How did they get this missing equipment? Half of it. "

"This is something difficult to discover. The Return God Sect has many hidden things, they can look like a terrorist group that steals and kills. But their foundation is very deep in the world. They must know that even we don't have "

"Dealing with this type of group is very problematic. We have to do everything possible to prevent them from being able to find the other piece of magic equipment. "

"As for our searches? Any new information about the other two missing magic equipment? "

"Some clues have been found, but nothing concrete yet"

"At least this is something. Some clues can help us a little "

"But the problem is that these tracks lead directly to ancient Australia, the current Nest of Beasts. We can explore this place on our own, but the costs will be very high. "

"Australia?? To go to this place would be suicide. Several exploration groups have already visited this site and none have returned alive. "

"We can spread this information to other countries or the agencies of explorers. They can explore the place and sell the information later. "

"This is very risky, if they find something, we will lose a lot"

"At least we can get information without having to lose a single soldier of ours. This is our biggest bet at the moment "

Piiiiiii !!!!

An alarm sounded in the room and a window was opened on the table, it was a hologram.

"It seems that a very important message has arrived. Open "The message has been opened.

"It looks like USANF made its move first. They had the same idea as us "

"Antarctica ... It looks like they found some clues about other lost magic equipment."

"Antarctica is just as dangerous as Australia. It seems that they must also be betting on this issue "

"Are we also going to spread information about Australia?"

"Yes"

"Is everyone in agreement with this plan?"

"Yes" Everyone voted.

"Send orders for the military to send messages to the world's great explorer agencies"

"Yes"
