Regnar thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, it just so happens that I also have something to ask him."
"So, shall we leave now?" Goethe suggested.
"Okay." Regnar agreed. There was nothing going on at night anyway, so it would be good to go over and see Alex.
He picked up some of his belongings and followed Goethe out.
Regnar first went downstairs to order a set meal of tomato soup and bread jam for Inelise, and then delivered them up himself.
"Ini." Regnar brought the dinner to Inelise's table: "This is your dinner. I have to go out tonight and may come back a little late."
"Okay, got it." Inelise didn't even raise her head, she just concentrated on writing and calculating. Although the little girl does not have the talent to become a mage, she has learned how to meditate so far.
So in the past few days, Inelise's life has consisted of studying formulas and meditating in addition to eating. From the perspective of restoring mental strength, meditation is more efficient than sleeping. In order to save time these days, Inelise Meditation is often used instead of sleeping.
Because of this, Regnar has only been quietly staying by Inelise's side recently, and things like sleeping in the same bed have never happened again.
"Come on!" Regnar touched Inelise's little head, and then gently closed the door to the room.
"My lord, you really care about that little girl." Goethe said with a smile.
"If there is someone who can trust you as unreservedly as she trusts me, then you will be like me." Regnar smiled.
…
The headquarters of the Military Intelligence Agency was not located in the palace. Goethe drove his carriage through countless turns on the streets of Melinder, and finally came to an inconspicuous building.
"It seems to be similar to the guild." Regnar thought to himself. The Moon Shadow Thieves Guild in Lance Continent has its headquarters in a very inconspicuous building.
If you look at it from a distance, the building may just be a larger mansion. But Regnar knew that there must be a rather large underground palace beneath this building. That's where the Military Intelligence Department really is.
"The layout here is almost completely copied from that of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, so I should be very familiar with it." Goethe said as he led the way.
"That's right." Regnar admitted this frankly.
Afterwards, Goethe took Regnar to the underground world, which was as heavily guarded as Regnar expected. Goethe showed the token he brought all the way, and then he could go on unimpeded.
When Regnar saw Alex, the thin, middle-aged man was burying his head in processing a pile of documents.
"Uncle Alex..." Regnar couldn't help but feel a little amused looking at this guy's embarrassed appearance.
"Aha!" Alex jumped up when he heard the voice: "You kid is finally here! I will go crazy if you don't come here again."
"Okay, okay, uncle, please calm down." Regnar couldn't help being frightened when he saw Alex's crazy appearance.
"Two adults chatted slowly, Goethe took his leave." Goethe left very wisely.
"You don't have anything to say now, do you?" Alex hurriedly grabbed Regnar's collar after Goethe left and said, "You said you wanted me to take your place for half a year, but now half a year has passed, and you still have nothing to do. Did you say it?"
"But… "
"It's nothing!" Alex was not happy when he heard this word: "This was originally your job. I have been doing it for you for half a year, and now no matter what you say, it won't work. I will leave it to you from now on. Got it!"
"Uncle, don't get excited. I came here to discuss with you my entry into the Military Intelligence Agency." Regnar said quickly.
"Okay, I'll leave these things to you." Alex pointed to the pile of documents on the table: "My task has been completed. Goodbye, I will leave here tomorrow."
"Hey!" Regnar almost jumped up: "How can it be so fast?!"
"Then what else do you want?" Alex rolled his eyes.
"Give me a buffer time~~." Regnar said in a coquettish tone. Not to mention Alex, even when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel his stomach churn and feel like vomiting. Feel.
"Gungun, did you come here intentionally to disgust my uncle?" Alex was indeed about to vomit.
"But, uncle, look at it!" Regnar spread his hands helplessly: "I can only say that I have just joined the Military Intelligence Agency and am not familiar with everything. If there is no senior expert command who is familiar with this, , I’m afraid it will be difficult to handle, right?”
"..." Alex looked at Regnar helplessly. Is this kid sure that he won't let him go so easily
"Hey hey hey!" Regnar had a mean smile on his face, and he moved closer to Alex: "I don't think Mr. Velez would allow a guy like me who doesn't know anything to directly In charge of everything in the Military Intelligence Department, right? He must have given you additional instructions, right?"
"..." Alex's eyelids twitched. This boy looked like an idiot, but in fact he was just too lazy to use his brain. Once it related to him, this boy saw things more clearly than anyone else! Calculate better than anyone else!
That’s right! Villes did give him additional instructions at the beginning, which was to assist Regnar to secure his position in the Military Intelligence Department. Of course, Villes was not at ease about handing over such a large organization to Regnar casually, and the reason why Alex was sent to the Hawke Empire was. On the one hand, it is to solve the problem of Regnar giving up his job, and on the other hand, it is to assist Regnar in handling affairs in the Military Intelligence Office.
Although Alex had been meticulously executing Villes's orders, he was actually somewhat reluctant to follow Regnar in playing a game like reading with the prince. Therefore, he has always shown a passive and helpless side towards Regnar, hoping to speed up Regnar's pace of taking responsibility and allow him to complete the task quickly.
But now it seems that Regner has clearly understood the essence of this matter. He begged Alex shamelessly, making up his mind to hug the uncle's thigh tightly.
Therefore, no matter how reluctant Alex was now, he had to nod under Villes's order and Regnar's persistence.
"Okay, okay..." Alex waved his hand helplessly: "But I can tell you that from now on, you will become the number one person in charge of the Military Intelligence Department. And I will also teach you things step by step. Here you go, in at most half a year, you will become a veritable leader of the Military Intelligence Department. By then, even if you tell the truth, I will no longer stay in the Hawke Empire."
Regnar thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
For Regnar, half a year is enough time for him to study. In fact, he didn't really want to leave everything to Alex. To be honest, Regner didn't have the confidence to manage such a large organization.
Although there is Goethe beside him who has spent a lot of time in the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, in the final analysis he is just a follower. If his status is not high enough, then his ideas will naturally have certain limitations. Regnar, on the other hand, did not want to be affected by this limitation. Therefore, Alex, who has strong strength and far-sighted vision, will be the best person to assist him.
Don't look at Regner's negative behavior since he returned to Melinder, but in fact, he also knows that these things cannot be escaped after all, so Regnar had already done it before Goethe came to him. A lot of consideration.
"When can you officially come over?" Alex asked helplessly.
"In a few days, you should also know about Annie absorbing the crystal core of the Neptune King's giant whale, right? I plan to come with her after she completes all this." Regnar said thoughtfully.
"Oh?" Alex glanced at Regnar in surprise: "Will Annie come back too?"
"Yes, she had a quarrel with Lord Malloryt two days ago because of this matter." Regnar scratched his head in distress. Although Malloryt had a pretty good attitude towards him now, But it's not easy to talk between the father and daughter, and this matter has now become a worry for Regnar.
But Alex's focus was obviously not on the conflict between Gale Sword Master and Annelotte. He looked at Regnar as if he were a monster, and after a while he murmured: "How did you do that?"
"What to do?" Regnar was confused. Then he suddenly thought of something and said seriously to Alex, "By the way, there is something I want to ask you."
"What?" Alex didn't bother too much about how Regnar got rid of Annelotte.
"It's Balor." Regnar whispered: "What happened to him after the duel with me?"
Alex fell into silence. He did not expect Regnar to ask such a question.
"I heard Annie tell me that the conclusion of the report you gave was that I killed Balor." Regnar's tone was a bit cold. He stared at Alex and asked gloomily: "And, you They also reported that I cut off Balor’s head and sent him to the guild headquarters? What on earth is going on?”
Alex looked at Regnar and then asked, "So, what do you think the truth is?"
"I don't know what the truth is, so I came here to ask you." Regnar said: "I only know that I defeated him in the duel, but I did not kill him. I am extremely sure of this. As for cutting off It’s even more impossible for me to do his head or anything like that.”
"Yes, I know it wasn't you." Alex sighed.
"Then what happened?" Regnar's tone was vaguely angry. He had gone to great lengths to defeat Balor, and he talked so much just to make Balor become Vera's again. younger brother. But what the hell! Balor is dead? How did he die? !
"I don't know how he died, but I know who cut off his head." Alex said calmly.
"who?"
"I."
