"I... that..." Regnar did not dare to look into Annelotte's eyes, and he replied with an uncertain look: "Anyway, I am only leaving for a few days, and it is not a big deal. I was afraid that you would be busy, so I didn't notify you... "
In fact, with Regnar's mischievous and rogue character, although it cannot be said that lying is as easy as breathing, he can still do it if he just deceives Annelotte in good faith occasionally. But maybe Annelotte was too prosperous today. Regnar couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw this girl, so it became quite unnatural for him to lie.
Naturally, all this could not escape Annelotte's eyes. She narrowed her beautiful big eyes, and her ice-blue pupils exuded a light that Regnar did not dare to look at. Annelotte said coldly: "Don't lie to me, you should know what will happen if you lie to me!"
Regnar couldn't help but feel a chill running down his back when he heard the threat, but he still hesitated and didn't want to tell the truth. Because he knew that if he told what he was doing, Annelotte would most likely choose to follow him. But the risk factor of this mission can be said to be unprecedented. No matter how strong Annelotte is, Regnar still feels uneasy. Moreover, she couldn't abandon the research on the magic energy cannon, so he still didn't speak.
"I know even if you don't tell me!" An angry light flashed in Annelotte's eyes, and she said in a questioning tone: "You are going to the Ice and Snow Plateau to negotiate with the Barbarian King. If the negotiation fails, you have to find a way. Create civil strife among the barbarians, and even kill the barbarian king! Isn’t that right!?”
"How did you know?" Regnar said with a bitter look on his face.
"Don't forget that besides you, there are many people in the Military Intelligence Department who know about this matter." Annelotte's ability to sell her teammates is also top-notch.
"I've known for a long time that uncle is unreliable!" Regnar was quite annoyed. Snow and Goethe only knew that they were going to the ice and snow plateau. As for what they were doing, only Alex knew. So since Annelotte said that, she was undoubtedly referring to Alex.
"Why did you hide it from me?" Annelotte did not help Alex who leaked the news. In fact, Alex was recruited after being tortured by Annelotte to extract a confession.
"..." Regnar hesitated for a long time, but seeing that Annelotte was not in a good temper today, he finally chose to tell the truth.
"Because I'm afraid that you are in danger, and Master Mel has already warned me not to delay your magic practice." Regnar said weakly.
"Dangerous? Isn't it dangerous if you go alone?" Annelotte asked.
"I'm not myself." Regnar shrugged: "Uncle Alex is here!"
"..." When Annelotte heard this, her eyes flashed with sadness. She obviously misunderstood Regner's meaning as "Alex is here, so I don't need you anymore."
And Regnar quickly realized what was strange about Annelotte, and he quickly said: "Hey! Anne, you misunderstood me! I didn't mean that!"
"I didn't misunderstand!" Annelotte stubbornly refused to admit it, but it was obvious that Regner's explanation made her eyes soften a lot.
"Anyway..." Regnar said with a wry smile: "I won't let you go. Firstly, I'm afraid that you might be in danger there, and secondly, I'm afraid that it will delay your process of restoring the magic cannon."
"But… "
Annelotte wanted to say something more, but Regnar interrupted her in a rare way and said: "It's nothing, Anne, I admit that I have many shortcomings. If you are by my side, I may feel more at ease. But you You should understand, right? You can't be with me every minute and every second, and I can't always rely on you to handle things well. So, you'd better let me try it myself!"
"..." Annelotte was silent. She understood that Regnar was right, but she couldn't let go of the thought of this guy going to the Ice and Snow Plateau to cause trouble for the Barbarian King. After all, he is a level 18 berserker! And he is also an Earthbinder who also has attribute abilities!
Seeing that Annelotte had relaxed, Regnar struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Besides, you also have important things to do, don't you? His Majesty has given a fatal order to restore the magic cannon. If you run out with me, If this trip is delayed for another month or two, it will be difficult to complete the task on time when we come back, right?"
"I..." Annelotte was speechless for a moment. As soon as she asked Alex about Regnar's movements, she ran over to accuse him. Only then did she realize that she actually also had a big task. If she left Melinder, the next thing would be really difficult.
"If you fail to complete the task, I'm afraid you won't be able to be the dean of the Magic Academy." Looking at Annelotte's expression, Regnar knew that he was close to victory. He continued with a smile: "If you think about it from a long-term perspective, Wouldn't it be more helpful to me if you stayed in Melinder?"
"..." Annelotte still didn't let go. She seemed to be waiting for something.
Regnar thought for a moment, then suddenly stopped smiling: "Hey, Annie."
"kindness?"
"I will come back." Regnar said seriously: "I will definitely come back intact. I promised you that I will live well, right? I will not break my promise."
As Regnar spoke, he took out the space gem hanging around his neck. He raised the ornament in his hand and said, "Don't forget to still have it. Even if there is any danger that I can't deal with, as long as it is there, , can I ask you to come over and help me?"
"It sounds like I'm your summoned familiar." Annelotte glared at Regnar with some dissatisfaction, but this expression made him look like he was being scolded and coquettish.
"Haha, how could that happen?" Regnar smiled, and then said, "You should be relieved, right?"
"..." Annelotte still hesitated, but in the end she nodded gently: "Okay, but don't forget what you said before!"
"Of course I won't forget it!" Regnar gave a thumbs up coaxingly: "Even if this mission cannot be completed, I will come back alive. Annie, don't you know me? I cherish this very much. It’s a small life! Besides, I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to escaping, I really don’t believe anyone can be better than me!”
Annelotte was amused by Regner's shameless remarks. She no longer had a cold face, but instead had a faint smile. She saw that Regnar's collar was slightly messy, so she stretched out her hand to straighten it for him, and then said: "When you come back, we will go to Costa Fortress to help Irene restore her appearance."
Regnar was stunned by Annelotte's intimate behavior. He gradually discovered that Annelotte seemed to be much more frank than before when the two of them were alone. When he thought of this, Regnar couldn't help but feel elated. He couldn't help but hold Annelotte's little hand: "Okay! It's a deal!"
"Let go, let go quickly! Otherwise I..."
"Ah?! Ouch!!!!"
…
Two days later, the mission headed by Regnar, the Director of Military Intelligence, left Merindel silently.
"Ouch..." Regnar groaned slightly as he held his thigh. Two days ago, he provoked Annelotte to take action because of his excitement. However, this time the Frost Girl seemed to have failed to control her strength. One of her low-temperature fields directly froze the unsuspecting Regna's thighs.
Don't think this is just ordinary frostbite. Annelotte's cryogenic field can now reduce the temperature of the target area to almost theoretical "absolute zero." It can be said that Regnar's muscle tissue was destroyed by the low temperature in an instant. If Annelotte had not removed the frost and cold air attached to Regnar's legs in time, coupled with the priest's careful treatment, I am afraid that Regnar's body would have been destroyed by low temperature in an instant. Genna can’t get out of bed even now!
"What's the matter? You've been in contact with Annie so much that you finally got cold legs, right?" Alex said gloatingly.
"I'm not twenty yet, okay?" Regnar rolled his eyes, but now he really wondered if he would develop cold legs or rheumatoid arthritis in old age if he continued like this...
"Come on! Don't hold on! I have experience in Annie's cryogenic field!" Alex had an expression on his face that was similar to "the past is too painful to look back on."
"Tch! Crows are as black as pigs, how dare you laugh at me?" Regnar was quite disdainful.
"Then you are a pig and I am a crow." Alex refused to suffer any loss. He quickly changed the subject before Regnar could retaliate: "Hey! Let me tell you something serious. When we get there, What are you going to do? Are you going to just find a way to assassinate me?"
"..." Regnar was silent for a moment, and then shook his head: "I don't particularly hate Rego. If I just plotted against him like this, I would feel a little guilty..."
"Tch! I was still swearing by it before!" Garona couldn't help but mocked.
Regner did not defend himself, but continued to Alex: "So, I want to go there in the name of the mission and have a look. It would be best if the problem can be solved through negotiation."
"Then what if the negotiation breaks down?" Alex spread his hands: "Rego is the new barbarian king after all. Our human world pays attention to the three things to do when a new official takes office. I think most barbarians can understand this truth. Then Rego If you want to establish prestige among the tribe, I think the best way is to lead the tribe directly to the south. After all, in the eyes of this group of barbarians, reputation and prestige can only be achieved through fighting. If he is determined to go south, what would you do?"
"..." When asked by Alex, Regnar was silent for a moment. Then a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "If he really chooses this, then I have no choice."
