At night, in the office of the Director of Military Intelligence in Melinder. Even though it was already midnight, Alex was still busy there with a candle burning, thanks to that brat Regnar.
"Hmph! Is the Stoke Empire Intelligence Bureau also starting to make moves?" Alex sneered in his heart. He thought for a while, then made some comments on the intelligence and put it on another stack of documents. . These documents are all rated as important and will be sent to Larvin's desk for approval the next day.
"It's finally over. After finishing these things, can you go to bed today? Regner, that brat, ran to Tide City to fight without saying a word. He must have had a good rest this time. I'll give it to him when he comes back. Let me work hard!" Alex thought viciously in his heart while picking up a new piece of information. He briefly glanced at the contents of the intelligence, and then frowned completely.
"Is this the piece of information that the President is talking about?" He thought to himself: "If Regnar finds out about this, I'm afraid he will really kill me..."
Although the intelligence message is not very long - in fact it is only a few lines. But thinking about what to do with it took Alex half a trivial time.
"No matter, since it is the president's order, then it must be completed no matter what!" Alex finally made up his mind, he stood up, then lit the information on the candle, and finally put him in In the brazier. This brazier is full of ashes of useless information, and most of their stationery has a blue border. This means that the information is not particularly urgent and of low importance.
But the piece of stationery that Alex just burned had a red border. The intelligence content of this kind of border is usually very important and is often related to the enemy's military operations.
…
"Ah... back again..." Regnar saw the walls of Merindel as if he were seeing a prison.
"There are some things you can't escape." Annelotte didn't know whether to encourage or discourage her.
"If it weren't for what you said at the beginning, I might be a bandit on some mountain top now! I only rob sex but not wealth!" Regnar said with a playful smile.
"..." Annelotte just rolled her eyes at Regnar but said nothing.
Since the mission in Tide City ended, Annelotte's temper has obviously become much gentler. If it had been before, she would have chased Regna all over the street and beat her up. But now, Annelotte is too lazy to do so. After beating him for three or four years, this guy still smiles so playfully at you. If it were you, would you still be willing to continue beating him? Save your energy!
Of course, this kind of tolerance has limits. For example, the last time Regnar tried to peek in the hotel again... Ah, no! I bumped into it by accident! That’s right! I really bumped into it by accident! He accidentally bumped into Annelotte taking a bath... As a result, he was also beaten by Annelotte until he couldn't take care of himself.
As a result, the two of them almost demolished the hotel. And this scene happened to be seen by the captured mages who followed them back to Melinder. Only then did these mages understand. It turns out that Miss Anne just has a mild temper. If we consider it purely from the perspective of destructive power, she can be stronger than at least three Regnars by herself. So if you offend her, the consequences will definitely be more terrible than if you offend the great devil Regnar!
Because of this, Annelotte is no longer a gentle girl with no smile, no anger, and no expression in the eyes of these mages. Rather, she is a gentle girl who is neither smiling nor angry but has no expression but must not be offended.
"Is this Merindel? Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen the capital of the Northern Empire." Perilia looked at the walls of Merindel and couldn't help but murmured. She was not too surprised. After all, it was just based on the scale. From a practical perspective, the thousand-year-old capital of the Stoke Empire must be larger than Merindl.
"In the future, you will gradually get used to the life here, Ms. Perelia." Annelotte said calmly.
"Miss Anne, thank you for your trust and care of me these days." Perilia bowed her head slightly to show respect.
After spending some time with Annelotte, Perelia began to admire the little girl in front of her more and more. Although she was much younger than him, Annelotte's understanding and attainments in magic completely exceeded Perilia's imagination. All this is not only reflected in Annelotte's words, but also in Annelotte's practical application of magic.
oh? Why do you think you can see actual combat? Hey, this question needs to be asked to our Lord Regnar, why does he always catch Annelotte taking a shower by accident
Moreover, what satisfied Perelia even more was Annelotte's character. Although this girl is usually stern and doesn't talk much, she is surprisingly low-key and gentle. She never deliberately shows off her talent and attainments in magic. Even when talking about magic with others, she never speaks in a condescending tone because of her level advantage.
Perilia likes this kind of personality very much, because she is a mid-level mage no matter what. Even though Annelotte was of a higher level than her, she still felt a little wary when she thought about being bossed around by a girl who was ten years younger than herself. Now that Annelotte was not putting on airs, she was naturally relieved.
"Maybe this time is an opportunity for me?" Perilia was determined to follow Annelotte and work hard. As long as she seizes the opportunity, maybe she can find her own place in the Hawke Empire this time.
Therefore, she has been very cooperative in the past few days. Because of this, at Annelotte's suggestion, Regnar unlocked Perilia's magic lock. Although this thing will not cause any damage to the body when worn by a mage, it cannot be used at any time. This is a very painful thing for a mage. As a mage, Annelotte understood this very well, so she unlocked Perelia's magic lock.
"If you are really grateful, follow Annie and work hard in the future." Regnar smiled.
"Perelia will do her best to help Miss Anne recover the magic cannon!" Perelia immediately expressed her stance.
Annelotte nodded: "Please."
…
The few people entering the city did not cause any sensation, and Regna had left quietly. Although the news that the biggest contributor to the attack on Tide City was Regnar will definitely spread in the future, given the backward communication level of this world. This will definitely happen in a month or two. In fact, civilians now have no idea that the Director of Military Intelligence has been out.
"Miss!" Alian saw a large number of people like Regna from a distance.
"Oh..." Regnar showed a painful expression. To be honest, the last thing he wanted to see right now was this girl. She didn't know why, but she seemed to have a deep resentment towards Regnar. Whenever they met, she would definitely point the finger at Regnar.
"Alien, you're here." Annelotte's eyes were filled with happiness. This maid was not only diligent and efficient, but also had her best interests at heart at all times. With such a maid, she must be popular, right
"After you informed the master, he sent me to pick you up." Alian said with a smile.
"Ha! Is this the old man's plan? In the past, he would have come to greet him in person." Regnar muttered.
"Huh?" Alian glanced sideways at Regnar: "I was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be Mr. Scumbag!"
"Can we not mention this title..." Regnar's facial muscles twitched. Every time he saw Alian, this guy would definitely have this word in his first words to him.
"Tch! If you can do it, why are you afraid that others will laugh at you?" Alian said with disdain.
"Okay, Alian, let's go back!" Annelotte didn't want Regnar's reputation among the prisoners that he had accumulated in the past few days to be ruined by Alian, so she hurriedly came to smooth things over.
"Are all these people going to go? Can't our mansion accommodate them?" Ah Lian looked at the dejected guys and couldn't help but be startled.
"No..." Annelotte shook her head: "I'm just going back to the mansion for a visit. I might leave in the evening, so you don't need to prepare anything."
"Ah~?" Alian's face was full of disappointment: "Miss, didn't you go back to the mansion to rest for two days every time you came back from a mission? I also want to serve you and let you have a good rest for a few days! Miss, you don't know, they Those guys all said that I am not worthy of my reputation as a personal maid!"
"There are other things to do when I come back this time." Annelotte touched Alian's head: "As for what others say, let them say it! Okay, let's go back first! Regnar, you take it with you first These mages know how to handle military intelligence!"
Originally, Regnar wanted to meet Malolite, but seeing how serious Annelotte was, he didn't dare to be lazy anymore. So this guy could only nod in agreement.
…
When Regnar saw Alex again, the already thin middle-aged man even felt a little haggard. It seems that he has been tormented a lot by the heavy workload of the Military Intelligence Office these days.
But what surprised Regnar was that this time Alex didn't directly pounce on him like before, grabbing Regnar by the side and shaking him while yelling. After seeing Regna, he just said hello to Regna lightly, and then began to hand over the work to Regna.
Although this performance surprised Regnar, he didn't think much about it. Regnar only thought that Alex was too tired to complain to him, which even made him, who had always been shameless, feel a little ashamed. But precisely because of this, Regnar failed to observe the dodge in Alex's eyes.
