"Looking for me?" Regnar was stunned. He didn't expect that someone would come looking for him here? Because he couldn't remember any other connections he had in the palace, except... Annelotte! Could it be her
"Who is looking for me?" Regnar asked.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you, but he said you'll know when you go." The guard replied politely.
Regnar and Kordak exchanged glances, and finally decided to take a trip. Everyone was already in the palace anyway, so how could he be left alone if he wanted to
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here." Kordak said, knowing that he couldn't leave now because there was a banquet in the evening. I heard that it was organized by Joffrey personally. Although they were not very fond of the imperial prince, now Kordak did not dare to just brush him off.
"Okay." Regnar nodded.
Under the leadership of the guards, Regnar walked around the huge palace. Just when he was almost dizzy, he finally reached his destination.
"Sir, Mr. Lei has been invited." The guard knocked gently on the door, then turned to Regnar and said, "Please come in."
"Thank you." Regnar responded, then pushed the door open and entered.
Annelotte was sitting on a chair quietly drinking tea. She didn't like coffee or other overly strong drinks. It seemed that even in the Kino continent, the Frost Girl still hadn't changed her habit.
"Annie..."
"I didn't ask you to come here." Annelotte frowned when she saw Regna, and then said awkwardly.
"Uh... Okay..." Regnar said a little depressed. This girl broke off the relationship with him as soon as she came up. It seemed that she was still angry with him, but she was already able to take the initiative to speak. For Regnar, That's a good thing. Therefore, Regnar struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Why didn't you pick out the equipment just now? You are the champion."
"I already have," Annelotte answered.
"ha?"
Annelotte glanced at Regnar impatiently, then took out a fiery red staff from her dimensional pocket, which was the one she carried when she first participated in the competition. She said, "This is My reward, Joffrey gave me this staff and this robe when I joined the Court Mage Association. They have almost reached the level of quasi-artifacts. Therefore, I don’t want to accept it anymore in this competition. No matter what kind of reward, just treat these as what you deserve."
"That's it..." Regnar forced a smile, although Annelotte expressed that she didn't want to have too much to do with the royal family. But Regnar still felt a sense of sadness. Indeed, he was still too weak. Joffrey could casually take out two quasi-artifacts as gifts for Annelotte, but what could he, Regnar, do? He didn't even protect her life...
The two fell into silence again. Regnar glanced at Annelotte secretly and found that she seemed to be deep in thought about something. He didn't want to make the atmosphere so awkward anymore, so he could only continue to ask: "This time... who is looking for me?"
"He will be here in a moment. You will know it when you see him," Annelotte said.
"What kind of guy is so mysterious?" Regnar muttered.
"You are more mysterious than you, Lord Regnar. Hey! Dark Elegy, I didn't expect that your name would be spread again just after you ran to the Chino continent. You are really good at it." A man's voice rang out. stand up.
Regna turned his head and found that the person who pushed open the door was the thin man who stayed next to Larvin today.
"You are..." Regnar was stunned. He didn't remember seeing this man before, but he could always find a familiar feeling from this man.
"Why, it's just a disguise and you don't recognize me?" The man's voice changed a bit, and Regna suddenly realized when he heard this voice.
"Uncle Alex!" Regnar was shocked.
"Finally the reaction is not too slow." Alex nodded.
"Uncle, why are you here?" Regna asked excitedly. Although he was somewhat resistant to the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, Regnar was still very happy to see the guild's first executor here. Because Alex had taken good care of him in the past, privately, Regnar still respected this thin middle-aged man very much.
"You still have the nerve to say that?" Alex rolled his eyes, and then said angrily: "If you hadn't given up your career, why would I have come here? Do you think you coming to the competition in such a arrogant way won't cause a military incident? Does the Military Intelligence Agency pay attention to you? If the Military Intelligence Agency wants to investigate you, do you think you can hide it by changing your appearance? Without me, your kid would have been captured by the Military Intelligence Agency. Huh! What am I doing here? I am here just to deal with you. I’ll wipe your ass out of this mess!”
"Oh oh oh." Regnar couldn't help but shrink his neck after being scolded, and then said with a playful smile: "Uncle, you have wiped my butt many times, and this is not the last time, right?"
"Humph, that brat has no shame." Alex said helplessly, and then he muttered: "What does this girl Annie like about you?"
"Huh?" Regnar obviously didn't hear Alex's last mumble clearly.
But this didn't mean that no one heard clearly, so Alex let out a scream and quickly covered his mouth.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Regnar was stunned.
"Next time, your tongue will be frozen to death!" Annelotte said coldly with an unkind look on her face.
"!!!" Regnar was horrified, and then realized that Alex might have offended Annelotte, so he didn't dare to ask anymore. Just kidding, he would rather anger Vera than piss off Annelotte. How could the power of a magician be comparable to that of a ranger!
"Uh! Uh!!! Uh..." Alex looked at Annelotte with pitiful eyes and made a vague sound, but everyone could see that he was begging for mercy.
Annelotte snorted again before tearing off her attribute abilities.
"Ah... Annie, your cryogenic domain seems to have become stronger..." Alex's tongue had just regained consciousness, and his words were still a little unclear.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and talk about business!" Frost Girl said impatiently.
"Yes, yes, let's get down to business. Uncle, why are you looking for me today?" Regnar quickly agreed. He was afraid that Alex would say the wrong thing again, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Does he know this uncle's character? He is even worse than him in terms of his bad mouth.
"What else can I do?" Alex shrugged: "Of course I want to talk to you about the Military Intelligence Agency."
"Are you ready to let me take over?" Regnar was not surprised by this answer.
"What? Don't you want to take over yet? I thought Anne was going to take over, and one of them could stand up to both of them!" Alex started to talk meanly again, while Annelotte's face turned slightly dark.
"I will definitely take over." Regnar said, but he hesitated again: "But, I don't trust the boss and the others yet."
"Then what do you mean?" Alex was confused.
"Hmm..." Regnar thought for a moment and then said: "At least for now, I want to go to the southern battlefield with the boss and the others again. The team is already missing Anne..."
Annelotte blinked her eyes but said nothing.
"If I are missing again, it will have a huge impact on the team's strength." Regnar said, "So I want to follow the boss to the southern battlefield again. After he enters the army, I will come back and take over the Military Intelligence Department."
"Do you know how long you have been here?" Alex asked resentfully.
"At least half a year, right?" Regner calculated. If he wanted to get enough results for Kordak to stand out in the army, it would take at least about half a year.
"That means I have to take your place for another half a year, right?" Alex raised his eyebrows.
"This...hehehe..." Regnar showed his iconic smile again: "Uncle, just help me again."
"Annie..." Alex turned to the Frost Girl for help. He knew that as long as she asked, Regna would not refuse.
"I have done what the president asked me to do, and now I don't want to worry about anything." Annelotte said expressionlessly.
Regnar immediately felt happy when he heard what Annelotte said. It seemed that Annelotte didn't want to take care of it, but she couldn't worry about Kordak and the others.
"..." Alex was immediately speechless: "I called you here just because I wanted you to help me persuade him. Why don't you give me any trouble..."
"Okay, uncle." Regnar quickly advised: "I'm just a fledgling boy now. If I were really asked to take charge of the Military Intelligence Department, I'm afraid no one would obey me. So I might as well go to the southern battlefield to make a name for myself. , so that it will be more convenient for me to take over in the future. In addition, uncle, please go to the trouble to help me reorganize this department, so that it will be easier for me to do something when I take over in the future? Please do me one more favor. "
"Tch, why did Mr. President accept a shameless guy like you as his apprentice?" Alex said helplessly. In fact, he had no intention of letting Regnar directly take over the Military Intelligence Department this time. He just wanted to test this kid's intentions. Now it seems that the president's prediction is indeed accurate. As long as Annelotte whips him lightly from behind, Regna, this lazy donkey, will come out of his comfort zone. Get up and work again.
"So you agree?"
"What else can I do if I don't agree? Force you to take office with a knife?" Alex wanted to beat Regnar violently.
"Hey, thank you, uncle, I'll treat you to drinks in the future!" Regna quickly expressed his thanks.
"Let me see if I don't drink enough to make you poor." Alex gritted his teeth. This kid, Regnar, just opened his mouth and kept himself busy for half a year, and the price was just a drink
"Oh, by the way, apart from this, Annie, I have one more thing to ask you." Regna turned around and said.
"What?" Annelotte frowned her beautiful brows. She didn't remember that she had ever said forgiving him. Regnar's face was filled with the expression "We have reconciled. How about you do me a favor?" Where did it come from
"Irene's face." Regnar said cautiously: "I heard that the mage's wishing technique can remove the scars on Irene's face and restore her face to its original shape. You are a mage... can you help me with this?"
