“…”
After Goethe finished speaking, he looked at Regnar carefully. He knew something about the relationship between Regnar and Annelotte. According to the information, these two people are in the same guild, and have lived and died together for nearly three years. In addition, they are similar in age... The combination of various factors will inevitably cause some indescribable feelings for the young girl who is just starting to fall in love.
So Goethe also knew very well how much impact his words would have on Regnar. The middle-aged man quietly waited for Regnar to adjust his emotions and said nothing more.
"Really..." Regnar murmured after being silent for a long time.
"My lord..." Goethe responded in a low voice.
"I know." Regnar smiled bitterly, and then asked: "I heard that Annie also participated in this competition. Why haven't I seen her until now?"
"She did participate in this competition." Goethe thought for a while and said: "But the contestants selected by the Palace Mage Association will not participate in the preliminary rounds."
"Oh?" Regnar was stunned.
Goethe nodded his head with his index finger, and then said while thinking: "Fifty contestants with no background will be selected in this preliminary round. The official will also select from the army, city defense team, court mage association and palace guards. Fourteen people are selected to participate in the competition, which just makes up for 64 people. The next rematch will be a knockout match between two pairs. Sixty-four will advance to thirty-two, thirty-two will advance to sixteen, and sixteen will advance to eight. Eight advance to four, then the semi-finals and finals will follow.”
"I see." Regner was participating this time just to find someone, so he had not seen the competition format in detail. He only understood it after hearing Goethe's explanation today. He then asked: "So Anne is participating in the competition as a representative of the Court Mage Association?"
"Yes." Goethe replied: "There are five people in the army, four in the city defense team, three in the palace guards, and two in the court mage association. And Miss Anne is one of the representatives of the court mage association."
"I can't see her now?" Regnar asked.
"I'm afraid it's difficult." Goethe said with some embarrassment: "Generally speaking, members of the Court Mage Association live in the palace, and since Miss Anne has joined the Court Mage Association, she must also live there. But the palace defense It's very strict. Your current identity, my lord, is just that of an ordinary contestant. There is no way for you to enter the palace with this identity. But if your lord admits your identity in the Military Intelligence Agency, then I think you should easily be able to enter the palace. .”
"..." Regnar thought for a moment, then shook his head stubbornly: "No, I don't want to get into the sight of the Military Intelligence Agency yet."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Goethe's eyes, and he said: "Then, you can only continue to participate in the competition and wait to meet her in the competition."
"I understand." Regnar nodded. He looked at the bandages on Goethe's body, and suddenly his heart moved: "Is your injury okay?"
"A little injury, it's not a problem." Goethe said with a smile.
"I didn't mean to harm you this time. I hope you won't resent me for this." Regnar said. Although he now knew that Goethe had another purpose in helping him, Regnar still felt guilty for his actions during the game.
"Goethe can't, let alone dare not." Goethe lowered his head slightly.
"Okay, then I'll leave first. After your injury has healed in two days, I'll treat you to a drink." Regnar nodded, then turned and left. He didn't want to repeat any confidentiality issues again. , Goethe is not an idiot, and naturally knows that today's conversation and his identity must be kept confidential.

"Why don't you join the Military Intelligence Agency? Although you are a bit young, your strength is there. With the help of Villes, it shouldn't be difficult to control the Military Intelligence Agency." After walking out of the martial arts gym, Garona Raised his own questions.
"I..." Regnar thought for a moment and then said, "I don't want to have anything to do with the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild anymore?"
"oh?"
"This is just a feeling." A wry smile appeared on Regner's face: "I can't tell you the specific reason, but I always feel that the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild... or Mr. Velez always has something planned against me."
"So?" Garona asked.
"So I'm very scared." Regnar said: "I'm afraid that something terrible and irreversible will happen. Therefore, I don't want to have too much to do with the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. When I came to the Chino Continent, I was originally In order to weaken the guild’s control over me. But I didn’t expect that Teacher Villeless would hand over the Military Intelligence Department to me. But fortunately, he didn’t force me to do anything, so I refused to take over the Military Intelligence Department.”
"If you think that resistance will be effective, you are totally wrong." Garona said: "Don't you still know who Villes is? If he wants you to take over the Military Intelligence Department, then you basically have no chance. Ran."
"Of course I know, but I don't want to submit so obediently." Regner said, "Even if resistance is useless, I will still fight hard. This is my nature."
"I hope that when the real fate comes, you still have the courage and strength to fight..." Garona thought silently in her heart.
"This world is very big." Regnar suddenly said.
"Um?"
"But my hands are very small." Regnar continued: "And I am a coward. I have no interest in controlling the Military Intelligence Agency, participating in wars, or conquering the world. The only thing I want to do, the only thing I can do The thing is to protect the people around me with my own hands. So, I just want to find Annie, and then... If she is willing, I hope she can continue to be with us in the future, be a mercenary or do something else. But I don’t want to join the Military Intelligence Service, I just want to be with my companions safely, power, status, these are not important to me.”
"What if she doesn't want to?" Garona asked.
"I don't know..." Regnar said, "I might find a way to make her willing."
"So, you're waiting for him here? Villes?" Garona thought to herself. She roughly understood Villes's intention, but she couldn't stop him because Villes caught Lei very accurately. According to Regner's words, this is what his nature is.
"It seems that everything is really developing according to your prediction... Although this world has no meaning to me anymore, but since you asked me, then I will help you again..." Garona sighed in her heart.

Night falls, Lance continent, Meteor City, Moon Shadow Thieves Guild headquarters.
"President, you called me." Alex knocked on the door gently, then pushed the door open and entered.
"Have the previous matters been settled?" Villes asked.
"We've basically reached an agreement. The Secret Eyes are still being tough, but I don't think it will be long before they compromise. After all, they have lost so many elite forces before, and now they have no confidence even if they want to fall out with us." Alex replied.
"Very good. If this matter is settled with the Secret Eyes, there will be an obvious vacuum period for their talents in the next few years." Villes nodded with satisfaction: "You well done."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir." Alex bowed his head slightly.
Villes looked at Alex, he thought for a moment and then said: "After this matter is over, you go to the west for a run."
"The west side? Didn't you leave it to Regnar?" Alex was stunned.
"There was information just passed over, and that kid doesn't want to take on the heavy burden right now." Villes smiled: "Although not many people know about my departure. But as long as I don't show up for a long time, I'm afraid the situation will change over there. There will be chaos. Therefore, I need someone who can control the situation to go over there and control the situation first. The other few people are not enough, so I can only make a trip for you. "
"It seems that he is still brooding about what happened before." Alex said with a wry smile. He also understood Regnar very well. After all, his companions were used by the guild in this way. It would be impossible if he was not angry at all. .
"None of this will be a problem." Velez said calmly.
"I wonder how far you want me to go?" Alex asked.
"Plenary agent." Villes threw a blue-black token to Alex: "With this thing, the entire Military Intelligence Department will listen to your words, and you can completely control the Military Intelligence Department with your ability. At the same time, I will also do it as soon as possible. Convince Regnar to let him take over the affairs there."
"Yes." Alex took the token and kept it close to his body. He looked at Villes, obviously having something to say.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Villes smiled.
"Actually, I have never understood why you pushed Regnar to the Military Intelligence Agency." Alex said, "I have been observing this kid for a long time. Although he has talent and strength, if he and the If those people in the empire are engaging in intrigues and intrigues... I don’t think he is the material.”
"No, he will." Villes smiled and said: "This guy has always been like this, as long as things involve his companions, he will become omnipotent. Moreover, he is still very young, if not If he knows how to conspire, then I will let him learn it."
"It's really a waste to use a mainland branch to train disciples..." Alex rolled his eyes and thought silently.
"Okay, you go and prepare first. Tomorrow I will have someone use the magic circle to teleport you directly." Villes waved his hand and said.
"As you wish." Alex bowed, then gently turned and left.
After Alex left, Villes thought for a while, and then began to cast spells. This is an ultra-long-distance communication technique. Half a minute later, Villes said with a bit of a smile: "Annie..."
