A few days later, Wood, who had basically adapted to his new body, was introduced to the high-ranking officials of the Republic of Northwest as Easter by Sui Xiong.

That name was from the online game that Sui Xiong had designed before his space-travel. There had been a very powerful spell in the game that could resurrect the dead, named Easter.

Of course, because of his poor English, Sui Xiong did not know that the word was actually used to describe the resurrection of Jesus.

Fortunately, no one in this world would care about it. Even Wood had no objections to this new name.

Thus, from now on, Wood, once the ace spy of the Mifata Federation, no longer existed in this world. Only Mr. Easter, a teacher of the intelligence personnel training class of the Republic of Northwest, was alive.

“Easter is a very good spy,” Sui Xiong introduced. “Of course I won’t let our only spy talent work abroad. He will be a teacher to train our spies. He will give lessons to our intelligence personnel about how to be qualified intelligence officers and teach them how to find out, analyze and solve problems.”

As he spoke, he looked at Clito who was looking around carelessly and said, “Hey! Clito, that’s you! You are the one that should learn from him specially!”

Criticized by name, Clito blushed and explained in a hurry, “I didn’t know how to do the intelligence work before. I’ll learn from him and study very hard. Even if I can’t be good at that, at least I can follow his instructions. It’s not bad to have a legendary fighter like me.”

Sui Xiong was so angry that he rolled his eyes. This guy! He thinks he can’t do it even before he starts.

Of course, Sui Xiong would not allow Clito to be lazy in learning. Although he did not say it directly, he secretly asked Easter to add a little extra burden to Clito in class and to make sure he worked hard in class.

“It won’t be easy to play tricks with a Legendary Master,” Easter said with a bitter smile. “I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

“You can’t look at things with your old standard. Now you are stronger than him. Don’t be scared of him!”

Easter was confused at first. Then he realized that he was no longer a spy who had just become a high-level paladin, but a powerful legendary creature.

As they all knew, legendary creatures were powerful. If legendary creatures could master some professional abilities, it would not a problem for them to defeat several others of the same level.

If this was in an online game, an average Legendary Master would have the power between level 20-40, while a legendary creature would be equal to level 40 or higher.

In other words, a legendary creature, even at the level of a junior adventurer, was already as powerful as a normal Legendary Master.

The reason why Legendary Masters tended to be more powerful than legendary creatures was that most legendary creatures had no professional abilities at all.

Although Easter had not fully adapted to his new body yet, he was at least at the level of a mid-level paladin, and that meant he was roughly equivalent to the mid-legendary level. Thus, he naturally had great advantages over Clito who was from the junior-legendary level.

More importantly, after Easter became thoroughly familiar with his new body, he would completely recover his high-level paladin and spellcasting skills, and his power would reach the level of the advanced legendary, maybe even close to the Legendary Peak.

By that time, a junior legendary paladin would be just like a monkey in the hand of a Buddha. No matter how hard the monkey tried, it would never be able to escape that hand!

Easter became confident when he thought about that. He said he would work hard to train a group of decent intelligence personnel as soon as possible.

“Don’t stress too much.” Instead, Sui Xiong was a little uneasy, and he kept telling him, “Our country is strong, very strong, so there is no need to make our intelligence personnel too tired. Forget about those rigorous training programs.”

Easter was confused and asked, “What exactly do you mean?”

Sui Xiong laughed embarrassedly. “Well, for example, tricks that may cause body damage or even death to the spy. There’s no need to teach them that.”

Sui Xiong found that Easter disapproved with what he had said, and he immediately realized that he might have said something silly. Sui Xiong grinned bitterly and said, “Essentially, you have to control the standard. I set up this country to have everybody live a good life, not to play a game of hegemony. So the people of this country, whether they are ordinary workers, farmers, special soldiers or intelligence personnel, I hope they can live a comfortable life without working too hard. Anyway, with me here, the sky won’t fall.”

Easter remained silent for a long time, and then sighed with a smile.

“I suddenly feel very assured at that.”

“Ha-ha, you can be at ease. Anyway, we’re safe here. If there are people planning evil things against us, I’ll clutch them like tiny bugs one by one! So you don’t have to work too hard or shoulder too heavy a burden. I’m here.” Sui Xiong laughed and patted him on the shoulder. “Do you understand what I mean?”

“Yes, I do. Please rest assured!”

Sui Xiong nodded and said nothing more.

Easter was a smart man. Since Sui Xiong had put everything clear in that way, he surely understood his meaning.

Sui Xiong could rest assured by having someone like Easter work for him, someone that was smart in talking and action.

Naturally, it was not a good idea to let Easter be in charge of all the intelligence work. Easter had his own bottom line and would not do anything against the Mifata Federation. Therefore, it was in the interest of the Republic of Northwest to let him train intelligence personnel and then let those trainees further grow up in practice.

As for Easter himself, being a teacher, he would never have the chance to go against the Mifata Federation. Even if there was a war between the Republic of Northwest and the Mifata Federation in the future, instead of going to the front line of the battle, he could just stay in the country for backup. That would naturally not violate his principles.

If anyone said that backup was also a support for the war or something like that, Sui Xiong would kill that person with one slap.

Sui Xiong couldn’t win against others in talking, but he could win in fighting. So he laughed very happily when he left. But he became unhappy soon because he seemed unable to find his own body.

In the past few days, within this sea area where his space-travel had started, he had traced back to the time when the Big Circulation came into being, the so-called restart of heaven and earth. At that time, the Main Plane had just formed, and the sea had been full of storms and waves. Countless burning stones had fallen from the sky, the earth had been erupting into flames, and the wind had been raging with great poison. In such an environment, it was impossible to find a space-traveler’s body.

In fact, Sui Xiong did not think that his body could remain intact under such circumstances. Even a piece of meat was not expected to be found.

He stood over the sea he had crossed and stopped his time tracing spell.

“Maybe I traveled here only with my soul.” He sighed and shook his head.
