The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 180: Military Intelligence Branch

Views:

At night, Regnar did not return to the tavern to find Kordak and Vera. Although he had ensured that he could advance, considering that there might be a fierce battle tomorrow, Regnar did not drag the two of them to drink. After returning to the hotel, he greeted a few of his companions and then left alone.

A few minutes later, Regner found Goethe. The middle-aged man was injured, so he went to the pharmacy to treat his wounds before returning to the martial arts gym.

When Regnar came to the martial arts studio, Goethe had just returned from the pharmacy. Seeing Regnar, Goethe was not surprised at all. He finished handling his affairs first, and then took Regnar to a quiet and private room.

"Your identity." Regnar asked the question again.

Goethe looked at the expressionless Regner, and then said seriously: "Military Intelligence Agent, Goethe, number 9527."

It was indeed the Military Intelligence Agency! Regnar's heart tightened. This military intelligence agency was an intelligence agency jointly established by Velez and the Hawke Empire. Although nominally part of the Hawke Empire, most of the members of the Military Intelligence Division are members of the original Moon Shadow Thieves Guild due to Verless's investment in its early establishment. Therefore, this Military Intelligence Office can be said to be the intelligence agency of the Hawke Empire, and it can also be said to be the branch of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild in the Chino Continent.

Regnar had seen these things in the second notebook that Veles gave him. Moreover, Regner also clearly remembered that the second task Villes gave him was to take over the Military Intelligence Department!

"..." Regner looked at Goethe without saying a word.

"You must be Sir Regnar." When Goethe saw that Regnar was silent, he took the lead and said, "The President once said..."

"I know very well what the teacher said." Regnar said first, "So, I'm not ready yet, and I don't want to care about these things."

Goethe was not dissatisfied at all when he heard this. He nodded: "In that case, everything is as you wish. But I also have to remind you that although the situation within the organization is very stable now, if no one comes out to take the lead, I think there’s a good chance of chaos.”

"Hasn't the King ever thought of taking over the Military Intelligence Department?" Regner asked.

"Of course he wants to." Goethe said: "The Hawke Empire is a new empire after all, and many systems and institutions are imperfect. The war with Stoke in the first two years was due to the intelligence agencies. Emperor Larvin had no choice. , he was forced to invite the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild to join the war. But he also understood that the addition of the Military Intelligence Agency was always a hidden danger to the empire. In the past two years, Larvin had been more or less targeting the Military Intelligence Agency. . In the past, the president often came here, and he didn’t dare to be too obvious. But now, the president has shifted his attention to Lance continent... "

"With the help of Malolite and I, we severely deceived the Secret Eyes and pulled those arrogant idiots off the altar. It happened to be the time when the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild came to power. Of course, he will shift the focus now. Go back." Regnar silently thought to himself, although so far Villes's approach had not caused him any harm, but Villes's method of use made Regnar feel quite resentful. Therefore, he seemed very hesitant about what Villeless told him this time.

But Goethe didn't know what Regner was thinking. He went on to say: "Emperor Larvin naturally knew that this was a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation, but he also did not dare to do it too obviously. If his actions angered It would be very unfavorable for the Hawke Empire to lose the chairman. Therefore, Larvin is currently only continuing to put pressure on the Military Intelligence Department, and at the same time looking for opportunities to install a few informants within the organization, but it seems that it is still far away. It won’t hurt our bones.”

"That's it." Regnar nodded. He looked directly at Goethe and then said, "I remember the teacher said that when I come to Merindel, there is one person who will completely obey my will. Is that you?"

"Yes." Goethe lowered his head slightly, and then said: "The eyeliner I installed noticed you when your group entered Merindel, but I was not sure about your identity at the time, so I made an identity, and then I’ve been watching you for a while.”

"Then how did you determine my identity?" Regnar pointed to his face: "My face should be completely inconsistent with my original appearance."

"From your attribute abilities..." Goethe said carefully: "Although it is not detailed, I also have a general understanding of your attribute abilities. So when you used that black substance to sneak attack the enemy to save me, I This confirms that you are the Chairman’s disciple, Lord Regnar.”

"I see." Regnar said calmly. Although there was no expression on his face, he was secretly surprised in his heart. He had not used this Shadow Blade a few times, but he did not expect that the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild would still investigate it. Such an intelligence network is indeed very terrifying.

"Now, I will be your most loyal servant. You can issue any orders to me." Goethe lowered his head and said. Although the young man in front of him was much younger than him, and the two of them were only equal in terms of rank, he passed the information I understood how terrifying the young man in front of me was. Two high-level mages, a high-level warrior, and even another direct disciple of the president were defeated by him. Such strength was enough to awe Goethe.

Regnar asked: "Does the Military Intelligence Agency know about my arrival?"

"The president didn't make too many internal reports, so most members of the Military Intelligence Department didn't know about it. Therefore, not many people investigated your arrival. As for the one who actually investigated, I believe I should be the only one. " said Goethe.

"Very good." Regnar nodded, he thought for a moment, and then said: "First of all, I ask you to keep all my information completely confidential. Unless I give you permission, you must not reveal it to anyone! "

"Yes." Goethe nodded. He could already tell that Regner didn't seem to want to take over the affairs of the Military Intelligence Department. But Villes had already given an order to obey Regnar in everything. Therefore, although his plan to rely on Regnar to prosper in the Military Intelligence Agency was stranded, Goethe had no way to change Regnar's will.

Of course, Goethe was not completely disappointed, because he always believed in his president. Since the elf had such an arrangement, there must be something to follow. He felt that Regnar would not just leave the mess of the General Intelligence Department there just because of his unwillingness, and Master Villes would definitely let him take over this matter!

Therefore, Goethe lightly agreed to the matter and continued to wait for Regnar's arrangements.

"Okay, secondly, I hope you don't appear next to me as a servant." Regnar said: "I am still just a young adventurer who comes out to make a living and accidentally participate in the competition, and you are just a new acquaintance of mine. A friend, we are just casual acquaintances, we don’t have much of a relationship.”

"Yes." Goethe nodded. Regnar was still clarifying his relationship with the Military Intelligence Agency.

"Third..." Regnar paused and then said, "I want to ask you about someone."

"Sir, please tell me." Although Goethe had already guessed who the person was, he did not tell him in a smart way.

"Annelotte..." Regnar said: "The daughter of the Swift Wind Sword Master, Annelotte. I want to know... her whereabouts."

really! Goethe was not surprised by this. He simply sorted out his thoughts and then said: "My lord, are you talking about Miss Annelotte, the high-ranking member of the original guild?"

"Former guild high-level people?" The word "former" made Regnar stunned.

"Yes." Goethe said: "Miss Annelotte has... already left the guild, or no longer obeys the orders of the guild. This is the result of Mr. Malloryte's strong request."

"Really?" Regnar felt inexplicably relieved when he heard that Annelotte had left the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. There was no reason. He just instinctively didn't want the Frost Girl to have too much involvement with this organization. Regnar continued: "Yes, that's her."

"Miss Annelotte has now joined..." Goethe looked at Regner cautiously, and then said: "Joined the Hawke Empire Court Mage Association."

"What?!" Regna almost jumped up. How could she be related to the royal family again

"No, Miss Annelotte is not a direct member of the Court Mage Association." Goethe said quickly: "She is just a magic consultant who belongs to the Court Mage Association. Well... very similar to Lord Malolite, she is free, There is no need to obey anyone's will, it can be said that Miss Annelotte is just there to put her name on it."

"That's it." Regnar breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of was that Kordak's previous lies about the prince pursuing her would come true. Now it seems that it is not that serious.

But Goethe soon extinguished Regner's illusions.

"And the reason why she has her name there is because of the pursuit of Joffrey, the eldest prince of the Hawke Empire. He asked Miss Annelotte to join the Court Mage Association, because this way he would have more opportunities to get close to Miss Annelotte. . And in the end, Miss Annelotte agreed to Joffrey's request and joined the Court Mage Association." Goethe hit hard.
