The alliance was finally settled. When Minte returned to the residence where the envoy was staying, he found that other companions looked at him with a strange look, and asked uncomfortably: "What's wrong?" Everyone waved their hands and said it was okay, but Goodwin looked at him specially. When she saw him turning to look at her, she walked away to discuss the specific terms of the agreement with the envoy.
Minte listened for a while and found that after the matter was settled, several official envoys, whether it was Goodwin, whom he had known since childhood, or Oudorf, who looked like a good old man, actually talked about East's visit. What are the benefits of this agreement
Although there is an agreement between the two countries that East cannot occupy any piece of Noga territory, but in a place like Siko, where regional divisions are inherently uncertain, once Noga’s national strength declines and the binding force on the border weakens, the entire Siko The land and the people there belong to East. When the time comes, setting up another street to serve as a trade point between the two countries will not only affect Noga's economy and people's livelihood, but also indirectly control their domestic prices.
If some Noga people could be introduced to work hard around Tulei Mountain, the East Metallurgical Mining Industry, which had been limited in development due to lack of labor, could be reborn. Even the veins to the north of Tulay Mountain will once again become a resource for East. The half of Tule Mountain that was taken away by Noga more than a hundred years ago will be no different than returning to East.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to send people to guide agricultural farming, East can also send some more details to inquire about the situation in Nuojia to ensure that they will not have any bad intentions again and act as East's rear...
Several people lowered their voices and talked excitedly, and even mentioned that when fighting against the monsters, let the Noga people serve as the vanguard, so as to reduce the casualties of their own people and also take the opportunity to weaken the Noga national power. It would be great if Warcraft could kill a few truly capable Noga nobles. Gael II seems to be very ill, and may get worse over time, no matter who succeeds to the throne. It will cause a lot of controversy. If the situation in Noga is unstable, it is even less likely to pose any threat to East...
Min Te felt a little harsh after hearing this, and his face turned slightly red. Originally, when he said those words in front of Lord Nuojia, he really believed that people in his country would not take advantage of the situation. But now, it turns out that these nobles in East are not as upright as he thought, so did he indirectly help them hurt Noga
He felt very uneasy. Did Malory and King Alfred III think so too? But he soon told himself that he didn't know the latter, but Mallory would never have such an idea. If the intention was to weaken Noga's national power, how could Mallory let the security agency personnel rescue Noga? Marie Claire
He calmed down and looked at the envoys with slight contempt.
snort! Nobles are indeed not good people!
He turned back to his room. But he didn't notice that Goodwin's eyes turned to his back and stayed there for a short time.
No matter it's Minna. Still Mint. They no longer care about the specific negotiations on the alliance between the two countries. Just stay in your room and make some potions. Then find a way to find the palace steward. Ask him to deliver the medicine to Gael II. The latter's body had been conditioned by him before. In fact, it's no big deal. Just a little weaker than ordinary people. I've been worried about state affairs recently. Will cause old diseases. Drink a few bottles of medicine. He soon regained his health. Under the personal auspices of Gale II. The drug alliance was finally signed successfully. The East delegation began to prepare to return home.
Minte packed her bags. Think about it. Still put the antidote back into the storage ring. When I came here, I was considering that there was a notice. He just turned back into a girl. The notice order has now been cancelled. It's better to go back as you are now. Boys' bodies are always stronger.
There was a knock on the door. He walked over and opened it. It turned out to be an attaché of the mission. Handed over a letter: "This is given to you by someone outside. He said he is from the Duke's Mansion."
Duke's Palace? Which one will it be
Minte took the letter and opened it. It turned out to be the place where Jada wrote. Ask him out to meet. Say you have something important to talk to him about. When did Jada come back? What is so important
Minte looked at the sun in the west. Frowning. So he went to Ordolf to ask for leave. Planning to go out. The latter readily agreed. But when he goes out. But he met Goodwin. Ask him where he is going.
He said it bluntly, and Goodwin said calmly: "Isn't your relationship with the Noga people too good? Although you have been here to perform tasks. But as a secret agent, you actually became friends with the target of the investigation. This is not Isn’t that too appropriate? You can go, but it’s best not to forget that you are an Ister.”
Minte felt very uncomfortable after hearing this: "What do you mean by this? What do you doubt about me?" What about the East people? What about the Noga people? Not even Mallory said anything was wrong with him!
Goodwin curled up his lips: "I'm not doubting anything, I'm just reminding you... don't say what you shouldn't say, and repay what you hear." After that, he walked straight into the house.
Minte glared hard at his back. The older this guy gets, the weirder his temper becomes. He deserves to be unable to marry a wife!
Arriving at the agreed place, Minte looked around and saw that there was no one around. Suddenly he heard voices coming from the small shop next to him, which sounded a bit like Jedda's. He hurriedly walked in, only to find that Junia was sitting facing him, with her back to her. My own, isn’t it Jada
He walked over and smiled and really wanted to say hello, but when he caught a glimpse of "Jada"'s face, he was stunned. That's totally Shade! Junia snickered beside her, rolled her eyes at him, and continued chatting with Shade as if she didn't see him. Instead, the latter raised his finger and pointed to the back of the store. Minte walked in that direction and found Jada sitting in the small room next to the back door. When she saw him, she stood up and said, "You're here? Come with me." Cheng, I have something to show you." At the same time, he pushed a ball of something to him.
Minte felt it was something similar to hair, held it in his hand with some disgust, and asked: "What is this?"
"Wig. In order to prevent people from discovering our traces, it's best to modify it a little." Jada paused, "Maybe you have a better way? To be honest, I have never figured out how you escaped from Nomon. Card?"
Min Te hurriedly straightened out the wig, put it on his head, and then randomly picked out a piece of clothing from the pile of clothes next to him and put it on: "Is this okay? Where are we going?"
Jada glanced at him lightly and didn't answer. He put on a beard and a wig, and changed into a large cotton robe and autumn clothes. The whole person seems to have gained weight. Then he led Minte out of the alley from the back of the store, and there were already two horses parked outside the door.
They rode all the way out of the city gate, then galloped eastward. When they reached the mountain, they dismounted and walked. Min Te saw that the surrounding environment looked familiar, so he asked: "Do you want to take me to the secret passage in the mountain? Do you find anything new?"
Jada took him onto another path: "After I listened to your words, I sent people to investigate on the way back, but I didn't get a reply until I regained my freedom last month. Do you remember a few months? When Lawler launched the first palace coup before, what was the excuse he used to enter the palace?"
Minte thought for a while: "It seems... there was an explosion on Dongshan Mountain. He was afraid that the Queen Mother would be frightened..." He suddenly realized: "You mean... there is something wrong with the place where the explosion occurred?!"
"It was originally a secret base for artillery research. All the relevant personnel have disappeared because it was a project led by Prince Mario. Therefore. After the death of his father and son, the place gradually became empty. After Sargent was controlled, he A carriage loaded with Warcraft was pulled out in the name of a new type of artillery. I didn't become suspicious. But after listening to your words, I began to feel that there might be other secrets here, so I sent someone to investigate." Jada suddenly said Slowing down his pace, he turned around and motioned for Mint to do the same, "I have arranged a group of soldiers here just behind this forest."
Minte carefully followed him through the woods, and sure enough, he vaguely saw something like a simple military tent in the woods. After leaving the woods, there was a large stone house in front of him. It's a bit dilapidated, and the interior is filled with dust. A few figures on the tallest building swayed, saluted Jada, and then retreated.
Passing through the group of stone houses and walking down the hillside, there is a large open flat land with seven or eight forts on the edge. There is an abandoned iron gun barrel next to one of them, which has rusted. There was some yellow mucus on it, and the ground a few hundred meters away was full of large and small holes, obviously left behind during the test range.
Minte stared at the slime carefully and felt that it looked familiar, but he heard Jedda calling him: "Hey! Come over here!" Looking up, he found Jeda standing under the wall on the right side of the fort, and he ran over in response. , followed Jada around the wall, and a large open space appeared in front of him. There are overgrown weeds all around. But there was no small stone in it, just a circle with a radius of about one meter. It appears on the ground, with circles inside circles. Many regular and irregular patterns are drawn inside the circles, and many words are written on them.
Min Te recognized those ancient characters at a glance, but he didn't recognize much. He could only roughly guess that a few words were "summoning", "four" and "soul". He looked at the circle and said hesitantly: "This... Is it a magic circle? It seems very complicated." I don't know what burned on the ground to draw this pattern. No matter how they stepped on it, they couldn't destroy it at all. What is the use of this magic circle
"I don't know what a magic circle is, that's why I asked you to come and see it." Jada looked at Tianse, "But I do know a little about its function." He pulled Minte to where he had seen someone before. In the small building where the shadow was shaking, I went directly to the third floor, and then sat down on the ground by the window: "Don't make any noise, don't make any moves."
Minte was a little confused. When he saw the soldiers around him taking out strong bows and arrows and preparing them carefully, the atmosphere was quite solemn, and he suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
The sky turned dark, and there was silence all around. There were no insects or birds chirping. In the whole world, it seemed that only the slight breathing of a few people around was left. Minte could not help but relax his own breathing, quietly. He changed his position and gently kneaded the numb right side.
After an unknown amount of time, a dazzling silver-gray light suddenly erupted from the direction of the magic array, and then the silver light followed its lines and slowly flowed through every corner. When the entire formation was shrouded in white light, two sheep-sized eggs suddenly appeared in the formation, with a hard shell, blue-gray color, and black spots. The light gradually dimmed until it completely disappeared, leaving two giants in place.
The moon passed through the clouds, and the moonlight gradually fell on the egg. Minte held his breath and watched the eggshell make a cracking sound. Then he stretched out one foot, and then the second, very slowly, and thirty minutes passed. The whole monster just broke out of its shell. It was only about the size of a sheep. It looked very weak and had no hard shell.
However, seeing two monsters appear so close to oneself is still frightening. Before Minte could draw out his ice sword and recite the prayer, Jedda and his soldiers had already lit up rockets, shooting at the young Warcraft like lightning. The same arrows were also shot out from three or four nearby small buildings. The Warcraft In the blink of an eye, he was caught in a hail of arrows. Without the protection of the shell, they were easily shot. They struggled and rolled, but were still gradually burned to charcoal by the fire.
Jada waved her hand. There was a soldier waving a snow-white handkerchief outward, and several soldiers who were ambushing in another small building boldly and quickly moved forward to clean up the charcoal and arrows. Then he quickly retreated.
Minte was about to ask something, but was stopped by Jada with a wave of his hand. Then, the magic circle lit up again, and things happened again. The same two young monsters were also killed in the rain of arrows from Noga soldiers.
The sky gradually grew brighter, and when the first ray of sunlight shone on the land outside the window, Jada and others stopped the extermination operation. Minte finally asked the question in his mind: "What's going on? Does the Demon Realm use this method to transport monsters?"
"It should be so. I only found this location near Nomenka, and there is also one in the west. But there are three formations, so a lot of people died there. Fortunately, the Demon Realm only transported the magic beasts here and didn't pay attention to them. What will happen next? I'm just afraid that once they find out that we are here, they will move to another location."
"So...there should be something like this in the southeastern region? Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to kill all the monsters no matter what..." Minte pondered, "It seems that the monsters are easy to deal with when they first break out of their shells, but if there are just a few of them every day, it will also make it difficult for them to do so." People can’t stand it, can’t they destroy the magic circle?”
"I tried, but it didn't work." Jada sighed. "And I have considered that if I do it too obviously and alert the Demon Realm, they will probably find another location. It is better to let it continue to exist. I can send people here to be ready to eliminate them at any time. If I hadn't discovered this place in advance, I’m afraid Nomonka will also suffer bad luck now.”
Minte shuddered and suddenly thought, I wonder if there is such a thing in East...
"Minte." Jada suddenly called him. "I asked you to come. Because you are the only one I trust who knows magic. Maybe you can find out what kind of magic circle this is. Can you find a way to completely destroy it? If there is a way to detect all magic circles similar to It’s good if it exists.”
Minte felt very embarrassed: "I don't understand this kind of thing... maybe I can ask the teacher and other great magicians."
Jada frowned: "You'd better not tell anyone casually. Except for the magician who can solve this magic circle, it's better not to tell anyone else. Although I trust you, I don't trust other East people and people." Shaonan people.”
Minte was stunned: "Why?!"
Jada chuckled: "I heard about what happened two days ago. Although your words are very convincing, your ideas are still too naive. I never believe that a country will really help a neighbor that has always been hostile to itself for free. Now those of you in the mission are probably discussing privately what benefits you will get from this agreement, right?"
When Minte heard this, he couldn't help but think of the conversation between several nobles in the mission. He blushed a little, but he just insisted and refused to admit defeat: "Who said that? At least our Security Agency is sincerely helping you, my father...cough The founder of our agency once said that the value of the Security Agency's existence is to maintain the peace and stability of the country and protect the interests of the people from being harmed. Under these two premises, it must also try its best to help other countries support peace. people."
Jada smiled: "You can say whatever you want, but I really don't want too many people to know about this matter, which will cause panic. Maybe your country, or Shaonan, will provide a solution as a condition, They force us to agree to some harsh conditions. Although our country needs more help now, it is better to suffer less if we can suffer less." He looked up at the sky: "It's getting late, your mission is going to Let’s go, right? Come on, maybe we can catch the farewell ceremony.”
Minte opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
(The starting point was drawn again. I could have posted it before midnight...As usual, I asked for votes and it has already slipped out of the list...)
