After Na was angry with Jada, she had been angry and had a very bad temper. After a few days with her, she got some precious potion formulas for her, which made her feel better.
Thinking that Alex had endured a lot of her anger, Ming Na felt a little guilty and planned to make up for it. Unexpectedly, he suddenly received a letter from the magic enlightenment teacher, asking him to help write the textbook for Ito Junior Magic School and the lower grades of the Magic Academy. Academic Year Exam Questions
This teacher was a very respected magician in Ito. Alex studied with him since he was a child until he went to Vana at the age of fifteen. Alex always had the idea of staying in the magic academy to teach, just because He was too young, and he felt that he needed more study and experience, so he had not taken any action. If he could participate in the preparation of college test questions as an assistant, it would be of great help to his future job hunting. After thinking about it, Alex decided Accept the teacher's request
Ming Na was a little depressed. Seeing Alex's energetic look, she asked, "You seem very happy. Being a magic professor...is it really that good?"
Alex smiled and said: "Of course it's good. There are no nationality boundaries in the academic field. If I can become a formal magic professor, even if I only teach lower grades, I can freely access the libraries or libraries of all colleges on the continent. The library, even the ancient book room of the Vatican, has the opportunity to enter the day I have dreamed of for a long time. I hope to have enough freedom and resources to conduct in-depth research on the topics that interest me, and then write a remarkable book that will bring me into the world. His name will remain in the academic history of mainland China!"
Ming Na blinked: "The Theory of Magic and the Atmosphere of the Universe? Or the Impact of the Movement of Magical Elements on the Natural Climate?"
"Haha..." Alex laughed, "Do you remember? Yes, I am very interested in this topic. In addition, maybe I can write another book "The Mixed Application of Magic and Potions" "
Ming Na rolled her eyes: "Okay, then I will also work hard to improve my potion skills and be your assistant in the future. When you finish writing this book "The Mixed Application of Magic and Potions", remember to write me Write your name on it too!”
"Okay!" Alex gave her a high-five, finished laughing, and then put on a serious expression again, "Stop fantasizing for the time being, and finish what you are doing first. I have to... go over now."
Ming Na nodded solemnly: "Okay, you have to work hard and I will study hard."
Alex held her hand for a long time before letting go, and whispered: "Don't be too tired, and don't... let yourself sink too deep. In fact, you are not suitable for that position..."
Minna's eyes widened, but Alex smiled and waved away without saying anything.
Watching his retreating figure, Ming Na was stunned for a while and then knocked on her head a few times: "It's time to go back to work, you are not idle!"
Regardless of whether it suits her or not, she can only do it temporarily.
As the missions from various countries arrived at the Security Agency, the workload immediately increased. On the surface, the reception work and security issues were handled by the External Relations Department and the Operations Office to assist the diplomatic officials in making arrangements. However, most of the covert reconnaissance and counterintelligence tasks fell on On the heads of everyone in the Dark Nest
From the establishment of Dark Nest to the present, the number of members has only increased by three in addition to the four at the beginning, and two of them still have formal jobs in the agency. They can only spare a few hours a day to help Ming Na and others. The task is very heavy several times. In order to save time, she had to risk running to the Security Agency to find Ms. Lea and Mallory. Fortunately, she had been in and out of the Security Agency frequently when she was a teenager. Except for some newcomers who found it strange, most people did not become suspicious, even if someone guessed it. Keep silent about anything that will abide by the department's mainland work principles
After the Shaonan mission arrived, members of the exiled Weisha royal family who came with it frequently contacted the East nobles, seemingly trying to win their support. It took Ming Na a full half day to sort out the large amount of information sent by the intelligence agents. Seeing that it was getting late and Mallory was in a hurry to get this information, she hurriedly packed it up and pretended to have just visited Mrs. Bonnet in the medical hospital. She ran into the Security Agency building with a basket of fruit and smiled at her. I greeted everyone there and then went into the office of the head of the Intelligence Section.
Mallory looked very tired, and the little meat he had finally gained disappeared. Mingna threw down a few bottles of magic potion and thought about it for a long time before being pushed away by the old man. With her flat mouth, she strode back and saw Alben walked over to him, her eyes flashed, she quickly put on a polite smile, nodded to him, and walked away quickly.
Alben paused, frowned and looked back at her back. He seemed to have seen just now that a black rope was exposed from her collar, with a silver ring on it. It looked very familiar...
He stopped where he was, and after a while he continued walking towards the director's office. Unexpectedly, when he got there, he realized that Mallory had already left.
He was a little stunned: "I heard that he was still here just now, and no one outside saw him leave?"
The secretary in charge of the Intelligence Section glanced at him quickly and continued to sort out the reports he sent: "How do you know he hasn't left? Young man, there are some things you don't need to know here."
Alben felt a chill in his heart and quickly lowered his head: "I'm sorry, I won't ask again." After a moment of hesitation, seeing that the middle-aged female secretary didn't seem displeased, he asked in a low voice: "When I came in just now... I met a young lady in the corridor. That lady seems to come here often recently. Is she a relative of Lord Mallory?"
The secretary smiled: "No, that is Ming Na, the daughter of His Excellency Anlong, Viscount Mayton. Have you heard of His Excellency Anlong? His daughter now lives in Idong City and occasionally comes to visit."
"So she is considered a family member of the old department member? But except for the medical hospital and orphanage, isn't it true that family members are not allowed to visit other places in the department?"
"Although she is a family member, she almost grew up in the department when she was a child. She also used to cover people from the operations department. I heard that she pretended to be mother and daughter or father and daughter, right? So many colleagues are very similar to her. She is familiar with her tight mouth and knows our rules, so you don’t have anything to worry about.” The secretary seemed unwilling to say more and entered the office with the report. Alben moved his mouth and said nothing.
Back in his office, he kept thinking about the black silk rope and the silver ring, which were so impressive. He would never forget them. He thought that he had suffered misfortune and might never be able to return to his relatives in his lifetime. At that time, it was a young man who saved him. He had inquired about the young man's name many times, but to no avail. It was not until before the second Xi Ke war that he found out that it was Xiao Minte. Later, news of Xiao Minte's death came from the front, and he He also felt sorry for the other party and personally attended the funeral. It was at that funeral that he made a request to Mallory to join the Security Service.
Xiao Minte's ring actually appeared on a strange girl today
However, if she is the daughter of Anlong Xiao... Kaduo, it is not difficult to understand. She should be Xiao Minte's cousin, right? However, Alben vaguely remembered that on the night of their escape, Xiao Minte had brought water for him and Daphne to drink on the road. At that time, the other party did not have any
The bag is obviously packed with alchemy products that have storage functions, and the most important thing is the ring.
Alben also owns a storage bracelet with a small space, and knows that it is an item that needs to be identified. Since it already belongs to Xiao Minte, how can it become Mingna's property
Of course, it is also possible that Xiao Minte brought other storage products and did not let him see it, and the ring was just a simple accessory. However, Alben, who has worked in the Security Agency for two years, believes that this possibility is even less likely. How can a department member bring personal belongings that are of no practical use when he goes out on a mission? Even the wedding ring will be taken off during the operation
What exactly is going on…
Alben was thinking hard when suddenly someone slapped a large stack of paper on the desk in front of him. He was startled: "What's going on?" When he looked up, he saw that it was the person he had the best friendship with. colleague
This colleague comes from a family where his father and brother are both members of the Security Agency. He was transferred from the south to the Security Agency for only half a year. His qualifications are even junior than his, but he doesn’t have that many scruples about him.
The colleague looked depressed and said: "I just finished a lot of work, and a lot more has been delivered! Why can't those foreign envoys be quiet for two days?! What kind of tea party is going to be held now? Who has time to drink tea in the evening?!"
Alben frowned and opened the stack of reports: "Weishaar people again? They probably don't know our habits, right? Why didn't the people from the Foreign Affairs Office and the External Relations Office remind them?"
"Of course I've reminded them, but they don't understand why they can't have tea in the evening!" The colleague sneered, "Just let them go. Anyway, the purpose of their tea party is not to invite people to drink tea!"
Alben sighed, divided the report into two stacks, one high and one low, and then pushed the lower stack to his colleagues: "I'm free in the evening, so I can do more. Didn't you say you made an appointment with your fiancée? Don't keep the lady waiting. "
"Oh, Alben." His colleague looked at him gratefully, "I really don't know what to say, you are indeed a good friend!" He patted Alben vigorously on the shoulder, pulled his stack of reports, and said... He said harshly: "You bastards from Weisha have made us so busy. I will definitely find out your conspiracy and make you suffer a big loss!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already received a sap on his head. He looked back angrily and immediately deflated: "Ahem...instructor...why did you hit me..."
"Shouldn't I hit you?!" The old department officer glared at him, "Our job is to analyze intelligence, don't take away the work of other people's operations department! With your ability, if you really fight against Wei Sha People, I’m afraid they’ll be killed in less than a minute!”
"How can you say that..." My colleague muttered in a low voice, "I'm just unhappy that they have increased our workload..."
"That's too much?!" the old secretary's eyes widened. "During the last post-war five-nation meeting, the intelligence work was more than twice as much as now. Everyone stayed up for more than a dozen all-nighters. In comparison, Come on, you only need to work overtime for two or three hours now, and your life is easy. Someone has done all the troublesome things, and you dare to call it hard?! If I hear you say something like this again, I will beat you up!"
The colleague quickly retracted his head: "I won't say it anymore, absolutely not!"
The old department clerk glared at him a few times, waved his fist, and then left angrily. All the young people around him breathed a sigh of relief, but the older ones were secretly amused.
Alben was already stunned there
Has anyone done all the troublesome things? who
He looked around. He was considered a small boss in this office. He knew what everyone was doing. There was no one else doing "troublesome" things at all.
Could it be that there is a secret department in the Security Agency that he doesn't know about
In fact, he was vaguely aware that the more senior members of the intelligence department occasionally made eye contact. It seemed that they knew something that he didn't know. Could this be what he was referring to
It seems that I am still excluded from the real security agency circle.
Alben's heart felt heavy when he remembered that he agreed to Jada's request. He didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong. He was unwilling to violate the rules of the Security Agency, but he wanted to confess to Mallory several times, but he couldn't. The letter is still in Duke Jedda's hands, and he doesn't dare to take the chance
Opening the report, he pushed the messy thoughts out of his head and returned his attention to the content of the report, but the weight on his heart did not lighten at all.
~~~~~~~=I am the dividing line three hours later~~~~~========
At the night "tea party" hosted by Prince Weishaupt, Selig sat at the main table, feeling very uncomfortable.
Next to him was Princess Stella of the Noga Kingdom, who was also seated at the main table as the guest of honor.
There was no third person around them, and even the maid responsible for pouring tea and serving snacks was at least three meters away from them.
Many of the guests who gathered in groups of three or three had already put on meaningful smiles, looked at them secretly, and then whispered a few words to each other before laughing out loud.
Selig's face turned even uglier
Regarding his marriage, the trend in Ito City suddenly changed. The ministers who originally supported the daughter of the Duras family suddenly stopped mentioning her. Instead, they praised Prince Noga's princess. They all said that the princess was not only beautiful, but also beautiful. Moreover, she is dignified and generous, behaves well, and has a distinguished family background. Is there any more noble candidate for a prince or concubine than a princess of a country? It just so happened that her cousin was planning to choose a husband for her, so why not choose the most outstanding prince from East? That would be the perfect match.
Originally, some people mentioned that Noga was once an enemy country, but they were immediately suppressed by others. After all, Noga is now a friendly neighbor of East.
Selig was very tired of these words. What he wanted to marry was Manda. He was not interested in marrying the minister's daughter or the princess of a neighboring country. Why couldn't those people listen to his opinion? !
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" A pleasant female voice came from beside her. Selig turned her head and smiled reluctantly: "No... I just feel that the room is a bit stuffy..."
Princess Stella nodded very understandingly, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, with a smile on her face, but she said completely inappropriate words: "I was also dragged up here, you are uncomfortable, I Even more uncomfortable!”
Selig froze and coughed twice: "I'm sorry..." He was a little curious. This tone didn't seem very... dignified
Princess Stella still smiled very decently and looked straight ahead: "We are also members of the royal family. You and I are in similar situations. I don't want to be used as a marriage tool. I also have a sweetheart."
Selig's heart moved, and he hurriedly approached her, causing a little excitement among the other guests: "So we can cooperate? After all, we all hope to get out of the current predicament."
Princess Stella turned her beautiful eyes and smiled slightly: "So... can you do me a little favor first? I want to see my sweetheart, but I don't get the chance. I believe that if it was you who invited me, I would My cousin will definitely let me out."
"No problem." Selig leaned closer, "Who is your sweetheart?"
(The Mid-Autumn Festival is tomorrow. I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a safe family~~~)
