Seeing Pestoa attached to Pandora's body before him, Suren felt a mix of amusement and helplessness. At the same time, the All-Knowing Eye of his Second Solution also discovered some deeper issues.

That was, Pestoa and Pandora's alchemical body had an extremely high degree of compatibility!

So high that it was theoretically impossible.

Suren had actually been pondering a question.

Since his teacher and Sir Isaac had been able to preserve Pestoa's soul and condense divine fire, had they considered making a body for her?

Obviously, they had.

After encountering Pandora, Suren actually had some guesses.

The Alchemical Homunculus research project might have been the research direction the couple attempted in order to reshape Pestoa's body.

But this involved a very profound question.

That was, the original bodies and souls of humans, and even all living beings, were perfectly matched. But an acquired body, no matter what, could not achieve this 100% match.

Therefore, the soul would not stay in a body indefinitely.

It was like some ancient evil warlocks who seized the bodies of others, but had to change them frequently. The mutual repulsion of soul and body was the most important reason.

This wasn't a conclusion Suren had reached on his own.

But rather, back in Old Lingdun, in the cursed space of No. 88 Ginkgo Street, the [Havier's Grudge Morgue], there was a guy called Tirmido...

The Mirror Master beside him was also full of smiles in her beautiful eyes.

But looking at Suren, a moment of emotion flashed across her eyes.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about it.

It was just that alchemical homunculi involved several ultimate topics in the field of alchemy, with the highest difficulty, which was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Except for her demigod father, she could hardly imagine anyone else being able to create a legendary alchemical homunculus.

Now, she didn't expect Suren to be able to do it.

...

In the pine forest of the deep, uninhabited mountains, the autumn wind howled.

In the hot spring pool, the three soaked leisurely.

Suren told about his previous adventure to the Dragon Kingdom, and the Mirror Master listened with amazement, interjecting from time to time.

"Oh, my father also went to Giant Island? No wonder I think some of the situations you said about the Dragon Kingdom's waters are similar to the childhood stories I remember..."

"The [All-Knowing Eye] talent is actually related to the Fountain of Wisdom..."

"So, Odelia went to the Land of the Yellow Springs..."

"Emmerich successfully transplanted the Eye of the Gods and obtained a part of the [Myriad Manifestations True Understanding] talent? That's pretty good. This has a high degree of compatibility with his Scholar job sequence, and the future upper limit will also be very high. Then our Dawn will also have another top combat force."

"So everyone in the team has changed so much..."

"..."

Suren roughly finished telling his adventure.

At this time, he thought of something, and asked about his Senior Sister's situation: "Senior Sister, how is the battle situation on the Mafa side? Also, how did you get injured?"

Because of Suren's treatment, the Mirror Master clearly felt that the raging holy power in her body had subsided a lot, and the pain had been greatly reduced.

Hearing this question, she responded: "The plane channel can now withstand the arrival of a Ninth-Order Archmage. But the cost of arrival is estimated to be very high. As far as I know, only one Ninth-Order Archmage has arrived. It was because I knew this news that I planned to see if I could snipe the enemy's top combat power. But I didn't expect to encounter an ambush."

Speaking of this, the Mirror Master paused.

After pondering for a moment, she said: "Later, I carefully recalled the details of the operation, and found that the flaws may not be on my side. I suspect the news may have been leaked."

"The news was leaked?"

Suren frowned slightly when he heard this.

He had guessed this possibility when he heard about the Mirror Master's injury in the Allied Fleet.

He knew better than anyone how strong his Senior Sister was.

The Second Solution [s-011-Mirror Guardian], as well as the various abilities copied over thousands of years, the Mirror Master's combat power was by no means that of an ordinary Ninth-Order.

And with her ability to mirror teleport, as long as she was careful, not many people in this plane could seriously injure her.

Especially when going to raid.

How could she be ambushed instead?

Suren immediately thought of the situation of the Allied Fleet, which was also going to raid the harbor of the Celestial Plane, but was blocked at sea instead.

If it wasn't some special divination ability, then someone had obviously leaked intelligence.

Suren preferred the latter.

Because there was absolutely no one in this plane who could divine the Ninth-Order!

The Mirror Master obviously knew this too, and she continued: "Before the operation, I also had some intelligence exchanges with the official United Empire. After all, within Mafa, their original intelligence network was more accurate. The intelligence of my operation should have been leaked from this channel."

Hearing this, Suren pondered for a moment and asked: "Senior Sister, are you saying that someone in the upper echelons of the Empire has defected to the enemy?"

The Mirror Master said: "It doesn't necessarily mean they have really defected to the enemy. Those who can access such news must now be in a high position in the United Empire. If they really defected to the enemy, the impact would definitely be more than just selling a little intelligence. What's more... your Empress wife's methods are not simple. If a high-level official really defected to the enemy, after being exposed, no matter who it is, the outcome will definitely not be good."

Speaking, she sighed slightly, and said: "Probably some high-level officials are leaving a way out for themselves. Thinking that if the Alchemic Plane is really defeated, they can also be a 'surrender faction' and save their lives."

Suren listened and fell into thought.

Although he felt a little strange about his Senior Sister's address, he had to admit that Yekaterina's meticulous mind, high skill, and clever control of people were indeed the best he had ever seen.

Speaking of being an emperor, Suren really thought she was very suitable.

At least, Meredith "Thunder Tiger", the former Grand Admiral of the Mafa Navy, praised her repeatedly.

But even if they didn't defect to the enemy, leaking military intelligence was already considered treason.

Thinking of something, the Mirror Master added: "Oh, there's one more thing. Those remnants of the Celestial Church have also been quite active in Lingdun recently. I got news in the afternoon that Carlo, the 'Thief Emperor' of the former Ten Legendary Hunters, has also defected to the Tianmu (Heavenly Eye) Church and was beheaded by the military intelligence agents on Holy Radiance Avenue. Those intelligence may have been spread by those believers of the Tianmu Church."

Suren's expression changed slightly as he listened. After all, he was an enemy he had fought before.

That guy was a character who only recognized money and didn't recognize people, so defection wasn't unexpected.

But once he defected, that legend suddenly made people feel very unworthy.

And although Saint Son Frank was dead, this Tianmu Church was really a source of endless trouble.

If there was a chance, it would have to be completely eliminated.

At this time, the Mirror Master said again: "But the problem is not too big at the moment. I just entered the Ninth-Order and haven't merged with the armored equipment yet. After merging, it won't be so easy to be injured. And Suren, your current situation is also very good. If you can find a suitable cosmic source substance, advancing to the Ninth-Order is no problem. At that time, we will really have the basis for a protracted war."

"Yeah."

Suren nodded as he listened.

He asked: "Senior Sister, what are your plans next? I want to go back to Old Lingdun recently. I mean, if you're okay, let's go together? It just so happens that it will take many days to heal your injuries."

The Mirror Master responded calmly: "Originally, I planned to find a place to recuperate for a year and a half. But since you can handle it, that's even better. I also want to go back to Old Lingdun to take a look. There are still some things in Dawn City that I can now go and retrieve."

Suren also meant this.

In addition to the cursed space at No. 88 Ginkgo Street in Old Lingdun, the Dawn Ruins, and the plane channel seal could all be checked out.

With his current strength, and with the Mirror Master together, he could go almost anywhere in this plane.

Pestoa on the side also said excitedly: "Yay, we're going home~"

Although Dawn City was already in ruins, it was once the home of the two sisters.

That ruin also buried many secrets.
