Na stared at Mallory in confusion: "What do you mean by that? Isn't it Mint T3?"
"I'm not referring to Mint, I mean..." Mallory paused and then said, "I hope you can come back, in the name of Ming Na. After all, 'Ming Na' is a real person."
Mingna looked away: "I think your words are meaningless. As early as the end of the war, I said that I have grown up and just want to live with my parents. I don't want to do dangerous things anymore, let alone Drinking potions that hurt your body. Mallory, I'm past that age."
"That's not the case." Mallory was a little anxious. "I have no intention of letting you continue to disguise yourself on missions. After all, you are now a member of the aristocracy and are not suitable for doing things where you have to hide your identity. I just want to …Please come to the Intelligence Department to help me. You are experienced, young, and healthy. After all, I am old and I don’t know when I will collapse…”
Ming Na's eyes widened: "Intelligence Department?! Why do you think so? I obviously don't have a smart mind. If you really need help, wouldn't Alex be more suitable?!" Seriously, Alex His brain is much stronger than hers.
Alex coughed slightly and turned his head away uncomfortably. Mallory sighed and glanced at him: "I once hoped that he could truly become our companion, but unfortunately he refused."
Huh? Mallory ever invited Alex? When was that? Why didn't she know
Alex turned his head stiffly and said to her: "In fact, I am not suitable for the Security Agency. I have already considered this in detail. You don't have to ask."
Ming Na glanced at him suspiciously, then turned to Mallory: "What about others? There are many young people who have worked in the agency and then left, right? In fact, the old employees are more reliable, you can find them I might as well find my dad."
In fact, Anlong often provided assistance to the Northern Intelligence Division, and sometimes even took the initiative to collect intelligence and send it to them. Although he has left the Security Agency, he still regards himself as one of them.
Mallory sighed: "I thought about it originally. It's a pity that he is out of town for a long time. It's the lord again. Minna. Do you think His Majesty the King will allow a lord to become a member of the Security Department?"
Minna was silent.
All the time. The Security Bureau is an important way for civilians to rise to the aristocratic class. As long as you make enough contributions. And can keep secrets. The Security Agency will help agents obtain low-level noble titles. Or get them into the military or other government agencies. Create opportunities for future promotions. But there are not many civilian agents who can achieve the goal. It has been in operation for decades. There are only more than thirty people. But most still remain at the grassroots level. And without exception. Must leave the Security Service.
Such as Vasily. After becoming a knight. He is no longer a member of the Security Agency.
Like Anlong. You can be directly promoted to Viscount as a member of the Security Agency. And there are fiefdoms. It can be said that there are very few. This is thanks to his great contribution in the Second Siko War. Half of them must be counted on the head of the "dead" "Minte". And he was barely of noble origin.
Thanks to the brutality of the final battle. There are very few heroes who can survive to lure the enemy. The largest number of people is Water City. There are four in East alone. All knighted. Even Bevin, who deserves the most credit, is no exception. Because he is the heir of two families. He is also the vice-captain of the Royal Knights. So there is no dissatisfaction. Most of the dead people were posthumously granted the title of baron. Only Etta from the Heda family received the title of viscount.
This shows how special Anlong's status is. The king made him the lord of the border area, which was both trust and expectation. He must never return to the Security Service.
Thinking of this, Ming Na also realized that she was too naive, and hesitantly said to Mallory: "Actually... there are many people in the intelligence department, and they are all outstanding. Why don't you just choose one from them? Where is the successor?"
Mallory smiled bitterly: "Kid, you haven't been to the Security Department for a long time, right? Have you noticed anything different here?"
What's the difference? Isn't it the same as it used to be? The same hall, the same…
Wait, who is that woman
Ming Na opened her eyes wide and saw a long table in front of the hall near the door. A young and beautiful woman was sitting behind the table, holding a small hand mirror and carefully arranging the makeup on her face. Smoothing her hair again, when she saw someone coming over, she quickly put down her hand mirror and smiled sweetly: "Hello, what do you need?"
What came was an old man in his fifties or sixties, with a stooped back and a cane. He seemed to be a bit deaf, so he spoke extra loudly: "I'm here to report the crime! My neighbor's bricklayer suddenly became rich recently, and his wife has also disappeared! I suspect that he has done illegal things. :.Cｎorganized, he killed his wife again in order to keep it secret! You hurry up and get someone to arrest him!"
The woman's smile froze, she reached out and pulled a thick book from the side, and pushed it in front of the old man: "Okay, I will respond as soon as possible. Please leave your name and address, and we will send someone to contact you to ask for more detailed information. ." The old man was a little unhappy, but he still took the pen she handed him and wrote with difficulty. The woman looked around boredly.
Minna got closer to Mallory: "That seems to be Miss Marianne's sister from the secretary's office, right?" I remember that when the two sisters came to apply for the job together, she was also participating in the annual training in the agency. The elder sister, Mariana, was not very good-looking, but with her strong memory, she quickly became the chief secretary of the secretarial office, while the vase sister, who had nothing but beauty, was eliminated early. At that time, Ming Na couldn't understand why she came to apply.
Mallory replied in a low voice: "It turns out that everyone has their own advantages. Miss Juliana has a friendly smile and is easy to relax. She did a good job after joining the Outreach Office."
"External Relations Office?! Are you talking about her?!" That is a place that requires excellent communication skills, affinity and meticulous observation. It also requires employees to have extraordinary physical strength and excellent riding skills. How can Juliana look like this? Kind of people
Mallory spread his hands: "She's just a receptionist. She deals with civilians. She only needs to be able to read and write, and put specific things in specific positions. She is still competent. "
Minna was stunned.
The old man finally finished writing. Juliana took back the notebook, took a pen and wrote something on it, and then asked: "When are you usually at home? We will go there at a time that is convenient for you."
While she was recording what the old man said, she suddenly stretched out a hand from behind her and took the pen out of her hand. The man turned around and inserted a bright red rose back into her hand. It was a handsome young man who pretended to be chic. He brushed his hair and smiled at her.
: “Good morning, dear Juliana, you are still so beautiful today.
Juliana smiled and inserted the rose into the water bottle next to her: "Good morning, Mr. Feeley, please return the pen to me."
"What are you doing so early in the morning?" A young man named Feili took a look at the book and said to the old man with a chuckle, "Old sir, are you sure that your neighbor didn't win money from gambling, but his wife kept it secret from him? Did you run away with someone?" He threw down his notebook contemptuously: "There are dozens of small things like this every day. If we send people to investigate every case, what else can our security bureau do?"
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. Juliana quickly said to him: "I have already written it down. You can go back first. Someone from us will visit you soon."
The old man went angrily, and Philitte approached Juliana and asked, "Are you free today? Come and have a meal with me? I know a restaurant that does very good fish steaks."
"Sorry, I don't like fish." Juliana tidied the table, suddenly looked up and smiled brightly, "Good morning, Mr. Hedda, would you like some coffee?"
"No, thank you!" A young man with an indifferent expression walked in from the door. His pale complexion, arrogant expression, elegant and expensive clothes, and elegant and powerful steps all showed his aristocratic status. He didn't even look at her, but glanced at Feili, who quickly put away his playful expression and headed toward the External Relations Office in despair.
Ming Na stared at this young man and recognized his identity. She was extremely shocked. How could this person appear here? !
The young man walked straight to the back of the hall. When he saw Mallory, he stopped and nodded slightly to say hello: "Good morning, Your Excellency Baron." He glanced at Minna, and without stopping, he slid directly towards Alex. After a pause, he nodded slightly. Alex returned the same courtesy.
"Good morning, Alben, how was yesterday's information?" Mallory took a step forward as if unintentionally, covering Minna.
Alben said calmly: "It's ready, I'll send it to you right away." After that, he continued to move forward.
When his back disappeared around the corner, Ming Na immediately grabbed Mallory's sleeve and whispered: "What's going on?! Why did the son of the Hedda family come to the Security Agency?! Don't tell me that he also became an agency People inside! Also, what’s going on with that playboy?!”
Mallory smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way. Since the end of the war, the nobles have asked the Security Agency to increase transparency. Because the Security Agency is usually too mysterious, but once a major incident occurs, we have absolute command over the military and government agencies. They I think this is inappropriate, and in order to eliminate public suspicion, the Security Agency should let more people know about itself."
"So? The department just let these people in obediently? Doesn't Will have any objections? Are there others?"
"This is also the king's intention." Mallory sighed, "Let the Security Agency truly become a part of the government agency and eliminate the bad impression of others. This is also to ensure that the Security Agency can survive for a long time..."
Ming Na let go of her hand and looked at Juliana who was smiling enchantingly at the front desk, as well as Fili who was poking his head at the door of the External Relations Office, and the strange department clerk who walked through the door in gorgeous clothes. She suddenly felt that this was no longer something she was familiar with. Security Bureau.
She said dullly: "Although what you said makes sense, if it is open to the public and allows those nobles to come in, how can we keep it secret and carry out the mission?"
"This is why I need your help." Mallory said solemnly, "In fact, the staff in the department are divided into two parts, public and private. They can do whatever they like with the public part, as long as it does not violate safety According to the rules of the agency, all secret operations are still carried out in secret. The personnel list is also top secret. I need someone who has experience, is familiar with the agency's affairs, and is unknown to the outside world to help me. Mingna, you Your name is still on the frozen list and you can come back at any time. Just think of it as temporarily helping me take care of your former companions. I really don’t know when I will fall."
Ming Na looked at his completely white hair, increasingly thin body, and slightly trembling hands, and suddenly felt sad: "You are a person who can even take advantage of yourself..." She wiped her face and said. : "I will consider it. I...I need to ask my parents first, and...even if I really agree, I won't work for the rest of my life!"
Mallory's eyes softened: "Of course, my child..."
Mingna pulled Alex and fled. She couldn't help but scold herself, why was she so soft-hearted? Didn't you promise that you would never go back
Turning to look at her friend who was also silent, she pushed him: "The Security Agency invited you to go, why didn't you agree? You are obviously more suitable for the job of the Intelligence Section." He is as cunning as Mallory!
Alex smiled bitterly: "Mingna, this is impossible, think about my origin and my family."
Ming Na stopped and said, "Are you referring to your father's support for the second prince? That is a problem. People from the Security Agency must definitely side with the king."
Alex didn't answer, just said: "Aren't you tired? You haven't slept all night, why don't you go back and rest quickly?"
Only then did Ming Na feel sleepy, yawned, and then left all her troubles behind and went home first.
From the Security Department back to the Rose Garden, you only need to walk a short distance and then walk through the woods. After bidding farewell to Alex, Mingna walked into the house. Winnie and the others were preparing breakfast in the restaurant. As soon as they saw her, they came up to her and asked, "What happened last night? Several people came at dawn, saying they were from the security agency." of."
Ming Na nodded sleepily: "Yes, something happened. They will come back later. Don't worry about them. Just do whatever you have to do."
Jenny screamed, hugged Marcie and shouted: "God of Light! They are really people from the Security Agency! Auntie, why don't you wake me up?!"
Marcy smiled and said: "Ming Na said they will come again, just watch when the time comes!"
"Oh, my God, I have to take a closer look. I heard that all the people in the Security Agency are heroes! Who will be coming later? Will it be a war hero?!"
Winnie glanced at her: "What's so strange about this? I've seen many of them in Mayton. An acquaintance of ours also worked in the Security Agency."
"Really? Oh, Winnie, tell me, what have they done?" Jenny immediately approached Winnie and kept asking questions. Her uncle and several brothers also poked their heads in to listen with interest. Winnie sat on the sofa proudly and told them a few stories she had heard from Dora and Minna. By the way, she also asked Veronica to hear some news, which made several young people startled. , Marcy and her sister also clenched their fists nervously.
Ming Na yawned, went upstairs to her room, poured herself on the bed, and fell asleep.
