Views:

Minte cursed secretly in his heart, but pretended nothing happened and asked: "Why are you here? Didn't you leave?"

"Suddenly I remembered that I wanted to see you for something, but I couldn't find anyone at the entertainment oasis. I asked the team leader and found out that your uncle opened a bar in Mengli, so I came to try my luck." Jada slowly walked over and said He glanced at Luma and the others and said, "Is this your uncle? He's not quite as old as others say."

Luma and others were silent, and Frido stepped forward quickly and said: "I am Minte's uncle, may I ask who you are..."

"Oh, I'm Xiao Minte's friend. I've heard of your reputation a long time ago, but you don't seem to look much like your nephew..." Jada suddenly looked at Luma, "Then who is this? Just now? He seemed to be the one leading the charge.”

Minte said quickly: "This is our second housekeeper. You don't think it is such an important thing. The young master will really send me, a young man, right? This operation is led by the second housekeeper. I am only responsible for sneaking in." Ask for news."

"Oh?" Jada looked at Luma. "He doesn't look like a butler, but more like a swordsman..."

"There are many kinds of butlers. He doesn't serve in the mansion. He is in charge of the sword practice room." Minte responded quickly, "Are you finished? What do you want from me? Tell me quickly, I'm in a hurry."

Jada raised her eyebrows: "In a hurry? Why?"

"Of course I'm going back to my country to report. I've said before that I've lost track of the person and I've got such important information. I should go back to my country immediately and report to my employer. At least I should take some precautionary measures. What? Are you afraid that we will leak your country's information? Your plan? So you’re stopping us from leaving?”

"Of course not." Jada smiled, temporarily letting go of her suspicions about Luma and others, "I wonder if I still have the antidote and the medicine to replenish my physical strength that you gave me before? I suddenly remembered that both of these medicines are It's quite useful. If you can bring a few bottles with you, it will be safer in the future. If you still have it, I'm willing to pay a high price for it."

Minte was a little surprised, but from Jada's brisk tone. He still caught a hint of urgency and nervousness. Could it be that Jada was in urgent need of these two medicines

He glanced behind Jada. Empty. Hasn't that shadow warrior returned yet? Do not know why. He intuitively felt that Jada was asking him for medicine. It has an inseparable relationship with that shadow. It seems that the person responsible for tracking has returned home. Think about it. He said: "There are still two bottles of antidote. But there is only one bottle of the one that replenishes physical strength. I still want to use it. I can't give it to you. But the materials to prepare this medicine are not difficult to find. If you really need it." I can help you with some servings.”

"That's great!" Jada's eyes flashed with joy. "Everything you need. Make a list for me. I'll buy it right away! As for the price of the medicine, it's fifty gold coins a bottle for the antidote and twenty gold coins a bottle for replenishing your physical strength. How about it?"

Minte was a little surprised: "You know the market of potions very well. Do you often order these things?" That should be the average price of potions made by a potion master of Sauron's level. certainly. It's for foreign countries.

Jada smiled. Didn't answer the question: "When can you give it to me? It's better to be faster. In fact...if I can find a potion master in China, I don't have to worry so much. It's a pity that everyone with a little bit of skill will go to Shaonan... "There was a pause. He stared at Minter thoughtfully. Suddenly asked: "I don't seem to have asked. Which country's noble is your employer?"

Minte quickly replied: "Shaonandi. What's wrong?"

"No. It's nothing..." Jada pondered for a moment. road. "In my opinion, instead of staying in Shaonan, a place that doesn't value force and being a noble guard with no future, it's better to follow me back to Nuojia. Your knowledge of potions is exactly what we need urgently. When we get to Nomonka, you must Be able to achieve great success!"

Minte didn't expect that he would suddenly make such a request, and couldn't help but glance at Luma quickly. The other party just happened to look over and wink, hinting that he agreed. Minte was hesitant. At this moment, Jada's voice came to his ears: "What is your... second housekeeper hinting to you?"

Why are his eyes so sharp? !

Minte looked up at Jada with some annoyance: "Of course you want to poach him. Aren't you allowed to object to others?!" There was a pause. Thinking of Luma's hint, he turned sideways to block Luma's sight. He turned his back and said in a very low voice: "Uncle Luma has grown up with the old master since he was a child. He hates poaching by others. I have known you for several days. For the sake of your safety , you’d better not mention this matter in front of him again.”

Jada let out a long "Oh", glanced at Luma, and lowered her voice and said: "So you are willing to agree?" Wasn't this a hint to him not to talk to him in person, but to talk in detail in private? Although he was very happy to hear Minte say this, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart. He felt that things seemed a little too easy. With Minte's loyalty to his duties, it seemed that it shouldn't be so fast. Will there be any problem if I agree to go with him

Minte noticed his hesitation, and couldn't help but curse the cunning old fox in his heart, and said: "I didn't promise you anything, I just advised you not to talk nonsense. It's impossible for me to go with you, I I have to go back to recover!" After saying that, he pretended to be leaving and called Luma: "Uncle, let's leave quickly."

Luma was startled, but quickly reacted, glanced at Jada with a "satisfied" expression, smiled and said to Mint: "Good boy, I know you will not betray the master."

Jada frowned and said, "How can you say it's betrayal? You're just looking for a job that better reflects your own value." He turned to look at Minte, "Honestly, with your ability, you can only be a small guard. , it’s such a waste. Haven’t you ever thought about building a career? Men all want to get ahead, don’t you? As for your employer... I believe he will know what to do.” After that, Xiexie He smiled and didn't continue. Minte thought about it for a while and said: "I actually want to make contributions, but the master and the young master are very good to me. When there is a possibility of war at any time, I come to your place. If someone finds out, our master and his family will be affected." Others condemned me. Besides, my family is still in Shaonan." He took out the remaining three bottles of medicine and gave them to Jie Da: "I'll give you the rest of the medicine, but there's no need to say anything else. , and please don’t embarrass my employer.”

Jada felt a little regretful. Feeling that he had thought too much just now, he hurriedly said: "I won't reveal your origin and identity! It's easy to talk about remuneration! And don't forget, I don't agree with those people's war plans. If you are willing to come , and I will never treat your family and employer badly." He lowered his voice: "Just agree. We really need you." He stared at Minte with longing eyes, like a thirsty traveler When I saw the sweet spring water, I couldn't bear to refuse it.

Minte thought in his heart that it was just right, so he pretended to be hesitant and said: "Then... let me think about it carefully first." Jada was a little dissatisfied: "Okay, please hurry up, I hope you can hear the good news before tonight. "He walked out for a few steps, then stopped, looked back at Minte and others, and hesitated for a moment. Still left.

As soon as he left, Luma called Frido and whispered a few words. The latter asked a clerk to follow him to see where he settled. On the other hand, the two brothers from the leather boot shop hurriedly went out to inquire about the fire in the southeast, leaving only Luma, Minter and Freedo.

After thinking for a while, Luma said: "We have been unable to insert people into Nomenka in the past few years. If you can really get in smoothly, it will be a great help to us. I think... the performance just now has been eliminated. I've got Duke Jedda's suspicions, and all I have to do is pretend to be convinced by him. I can use an excuse to be on my way. Take one step first to prevent him from doubting me again."

Minte said hesitantly: "But... I want to enter Nomonka alone..." It's not that he is timid, but he really feels a little unsure. He had suffered a loss in Nuojia and had always disliked this country. He doubted whether he could successfully complete the mission. "Besides, I'm the only one who has read that plan. If someone else relays it to the boss, it may not be possible to make things clear," he said.

"Don't worry about this. Don't you have a good memory? Write down everything you have read. I will ask them to bring it to Mallory directly." Luma said quickly. "I'll leave the report to Ito to others. I'll go directly to Van'a to inform Her Royal Highness the Princess. While the passage is still open, rush there as soon as possible." After a pause, he said slowly: "Minte, okay Child, I know you are uneasy, but this matter is very important. We finally have a chance. It is really rare to be able to enter Nuojia openly. According to the news you have inquired about, Nuojia has the possibility of launching a war. . If you can find out the exact arrangements, we can find ways to stop them. I think you don’t want East and Shaonan to be harmed by the war, right

Minte thought for a while and agreed to the arrangement. Although he felt a little uneasy, he was more excited. This was the first time he had participated in such a difficult operation. He couldn't help but be excited when he thought that he could take on the important task of sneaking into Nuojia to collect important information and stop Nuojia's ambitions. At the same time, a feeling of anger arose in his heart. Nojia actually dared to take advantage of East and Shaonan. He must make them suffer more!

Frido asked hesitantly at the side: "Can I... go back to the country with you?" Seeing Mint and Luma looking at him in surprise, he hurriedly said: "In fact, Nick was arrested, I'm afraid It’s not over yet. Although Ziya and I don’t get along very well in private, on the surface we are on the same team, and I’m afraid we will be implicated, so…”

Minte was a little surprised: "Didn't Mrs. Ziya not be arrested? The matter shouldn't be that serious, right?"

"She is a woman and has relationships with many people. Those people know her details and will not embarrass her too much." Frido said, "If she is smart enough, she can take out her savings now and move to a new place." In a place where no one knows her, she can live well in anonymity. But no matter what, we men, especially those who have a lot of contact with her, may be in danger..."

Luma frowned: "It should be fine. Minte needs someone to help him sneak into Nuojia. You can help a lot in Mengli..." Let him go! Minte said flatly, "There is still an intelligence station in Mongli, so Frido doesn't necessarily need to stay." He has suffered a lot, let him go to East and live a quiet life for a few years. I don't believe it. Without one person to help me, I won't be able to complete the task! "I think back then, when he was only in his teens, didn't he return from Mongolia smoothly

Frido looked at him blankly, tears welling up in his eyes. Seeing this, Lu Ma couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to agree to the request, but he was still a little dissatisfied. Frido's face improved after he revealed that he had a secret hiding place to serve as a first-aid shelter for the security agency.

After the matter was discussed and settled, Mint wrote down the contents of the plan he had read and handed it to Luma. At this time, the person who went out to inquire about the news came back. It turned out that there was really a fire in the temple, but only one side hall was burned. Because there was no one inside, there were no casualties. It is said that someone has already investigated it, but it was just an accident. However, many people are obviously unwilling to accept such an answer, and there are already many rumors in the town.

Lu Ma said sternly: "The matter is urgent, we must set off immediately, and we cannot let the people in the temple continue to misunderstand! Now the matter only happened in Mengli, but it won't be long before it may spread to other border cities. We must do it as soon as possible Take action!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Minte suddenly thought of Father Riddle in Anchor City. If the Noga people also took action in Anchor City, the priest would definitely bear the brunt. He hurriedly wrote a letter and gave a general introduction to the matter. Then he went to the place where Ivan, a boy whom Father Riddle had adopted, worked. He handed the letter to him and gave him a bag of money, asking him to hurry up. Go back to Anchor City. Ivan was dubious, but as soon as he heard that the priest might be in danger, he went without saying a word.

After everything was arranged, Minter sent off Luma, Frido and others, and then returned to Fridolf. It happened to be dark, and Jada was waiting at the door. As soon as she saw him, she straightened up. , eyes fixed on his mouth, waiting for his answer.

Minte smiled and said: "I promised you, I hope you can really bring me a bright future."

Jada smiled with satisfaction: "Of course." He stretched out his hand: "Welcome to join us."

Minte held his hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled, hiding their thoughts.

(More late, sorry)
