Alex bowed elegantly to Joffrey, and then walked towards Annelotte.
"What did you say to him?" Annelotte asked.
"Nothing, I just want to cooperate with us in research on attribute abilities." Alex replied.
"Did you tell him that I am an attribute user?" The girl raised her eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied with Alex's method of making decisions on his own.
"Don't be nervous, girl." The middle-aged man smiled nonchalantly: "Emperor Larvin has known about this matter for a long time, and it will only be a matter of time before Joffrey knows about it. Moreover, after knowing this matter, he may not I will pester you so fiercely again."
"So you are thinking about me?" Annelotte asked. Although she knew that Alex's statement was reasonable, she was still a little unhappy with the middle-aged man's self-assertion.
"Oh, it's good that you know, no need to thank me." Alex waved his hand generously, and then said: "It's just that you should hide in the Military Intelligence Agency for two days recently, uh... By the way, you can cooperate with our research. .”
"You can't come up with anything interesting." Annelotte poured a basin of cold water over it.
"But since I brought it up to Larvin, it's better to just show off." Alex replied: "Besides, we really got some information about the Stoker Empire. If the madmen in the Alchemy Department are smart enough, If so, maybe we can actually discover something.”
"Really? Okay." Annelotte nodded when she heard this. She grew up in the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, so she knew very well how powerful the alchemy department of her guild was.
The group of lunatics in the guild who were soaking in potions were no worse than the alchemy laboratory of the Secret Eyes! Since Alex said so, it would be okay for her to cooperate with their research. After all, she has lived in this guild since she was a child. Even though she has now left the guild at Malolite's strong request, Annelotte will still do it if she can help it.
"Okay, I'll find someone to inform you about this in a few days. I'm leaving first." Alex left after receiving Annelotte's approval.
…
"I'm sorry, I have other things to do, so I won't participate in this southern battlefield operation." Annelotte coldly rejected several contestants who came to invite her.
Many scattered people among them plan to take this opportunity to form a strong team and go to the southern battlefield to fight. Therefore, several strong players in this competition have become hot invitations. According to Joffrey's explanation, even contestants who originally belonged to the imperial forces can participate in this operation.
Therefore, the top four, Annelotte, Brie Barnes, Bectar and Regner, have all become the targets of their invitations.
Of course, the most popular one is Annelotte. She is the champion of this competition, and she has a beauty that fascinates men. With such a beautiful and powerful person as her companion, even her life on the battlefield will be a little more colorful, right
But Annelotte bluntly refused everyone's invitation, which made many people feel disappointed.
"Then you really don't want to go?" Kordak came over with Regnar.
"I have other things to do," Annelotte replied.
"What a pity. It seems I don't have to invite you anymore." Kordak looked regretful. In fact, he also hoped that Frost Girl could return to the team again.
"I'm sorry, boss, but I don't want to leave here now." Annelotte said apologetically, while glancing at Regnar: "At the same time, I don't want someone to jump around in front of me every day."
"..." Regnar and Kordak were immediately speechless.
"Then..." Kordak laughed dryly: "I wish you a happy stay here."
"I also wish you a safe return, boss." Annelotte nodded.
"Wait, Annie." Just as Kordak was about to leave, Regner finally spoke.
"What? What else do you want?" Annelotte's tone immediately became colder.
"Ha! Xiao Lei can do it, now Annie has talked to him!" Kordak couldn't help but think to himself.
"I... I have one more thing I need your help with?" Regnar said.
"What else?" Annelotte frowned.
"Ha! I have already asked her to help. He is indeed a man with three legs. He really has his own tricks!" Kordak couldn't help but admire him.
"It's Yini." Regnar hesitated before saying: "I want to ask you to help me take care of Yini. We are going to the battlefield soon, and Irene has also become a... A tenth-level priest. But Yi Ni is still a little girl without any fighting ability. I can’t take her to the battlefield."
"..." Annelotte was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Do you think she will agree to this?"
"Whether we agree or not, she must stay here this time. It is a battlefield, not a place she should stay at all!" Regnar's attitude was very tough this time: "I don't need to discuss this matter with her."
"I might stay in the Military Intelligence Office, and the environment there may not be good for her." Annelotte reminded.
"No matter how bad it is, it's better than losing your life." Regnar was determined.
"Okay." Annelotte agreed: "I will let her stay with me all the time. She will be fine. Don't worry."
"Thank you!" Regnar finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had just remembered this matter. After all, Inelise is a little girl. She cannot go to the battlefield, and she is not safe if she is left alone in Merindl Regnar. Since Annelotte won't leave Merindl, it's just right for Ini to stay with her!
"Don't get me wrong, as long as I know about this, even if you don't say anything, I will take care of him. It has nothing to do with you." Annelotte said coldly.
"..." Kordak and Regnar were speechless again.
The banquet lasted for about four hours, and by the time Regnar came out of the palace, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. They hurried back to the hotel and told everyone what happened today. At the same time, he also gave the longbow that Regnar selected to Vera. Since it was given to Vera in the name of Kordak, when receiving this unexpected gift, Vera excitedly gave it to Vera immediately. Kordak gave a passionate kiss.
"Then, now it's time to talk about the next arrangements." Kordak paused for a long time before waking up from the feeling, and then said: "Next, we will go to the southern battlefield, although Vera and Ai Lin is not considered a contestant in this competition, but Larvin also said that if you perform outstandingly, you can also receive awards."
"Tch, if it weren't for that damn Nigrila, how could I not have even passed the preliminaries?!" Vera said angrily, even though she had been dealt with twice by Annelotte and Kordak, but Every time she thought about Nigrila, Vera felt itchy with hatred.
"I... I don't need any awards. I just want to use my power to help everyone and prevent everyone from getting hurt." Eileen said timidly. It was obvious that the half-elf girl was about to step into the battlefield for the first time, and now she seemed very nervous. .
"As long as you are here, nothing will happen to us. Everyone believes in you." Regnar encouraged with a smile.
"As for Yi Ni..." Kordak turned to look at the little girl sitting quietly aside.
"No!" Before Kordak could say anything, Inelise shouted.
"Ah?!" Everyone was stunned.
Inelise said with a bit of grievance on her face: "You must want to leave me somewhere before leaving. I don't want to! I don't want to leave you!"
"But that's a battlefield, it's very dangerous!" Regnar frowned.
"Brother Regnar, didn't you say you would protect me?" Inelise opened her big eyes and looked at Regnar: "You will protect me, what danger is there to me
of? "
"But everything is contingency, and it is impossible for me to focus all my attention on you during the battle. I still have to fight, and your presence there will only distract me." Lei Gurner explained patiently.
When Inelis heard these words, her body suddenly shook. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Regna blankly, and then tears gradually welled up. The little girl lowered her head and murmured: "To distract you... It turns out that I am really just a burden..."
"No! Ini!" Regnar was startled when he saw Inelise's condition. He quickly came over to persuade her, "I never thought you were a burden. I was just afraid that you would be hurt on the battlefield. You are My sister, I said I would protect you. So I don’t dare to let you move in such a dangerous place. I definitely don’t think you are a burden! I really don’t! You believe me!”
"But... But I feel so myself." Enelise sobbed and whispered: "Sister Anne is so beautiful and so powerful, even you, brother, were defeated by her. Sister Irene is so kind. , can always easily read your thoughts and solve the confusion in your heart. And now she has become a priest and can experience life and death adventures with you... What about me? I'm just a little girl who doesn't understand anything. A naughty and willful little girl... I can't give you any help, brother. I... I really feel like I'm a burden... "
"No such thing!" Regnar immediately denied: "Ini, you are the pistachio of all of us. We all feel that life is more interesting because of you! Right, boss, Sister Vera, Irene? "
"Yes, yes!" The three people quickly agreed.
"Sister... sister..." Inelise murmured this word repeatedly. Suddenly she raised her head and asked Regna gently: "In your heart, am I just your sister?"
