Bang!
Regnar pushed open the door to his office, and his leather boots made a "thump, thump, thump" sound on the wooden floor.
"I'm at work, please keep quiet!" Goethe frowned impatiently. He was currently processing documents, so he didn't look up to see who the person was. But it doesn’t matter who it is, since Regner and Alex haven’t come back yet. In the current military intelligence department, except for the two of them, Goethe considers himself to be no lower than the others. He is the director's confidant after all, and he still has this weight.
"Put these things aside for now. I have more important things to leave to you." Regner didn't care about Goethe's arrogant tone just now. He just said to him as he walked.
"Huh?!" Goethe was stunned when he heard the words. He quickly looked up, and then found Regna walking over in a hurry.
"Sir, have you come back yet?" Goethe stood up quickly. He ran to pour tea for Regnar and said nonchalantly: "Snow and I have taken care of all the things here while you were gone. It's very good. There is no big problem so far. It's just that the guy Snow was absent from work for no reason two days ago. He just told me briefly that he was going to report something to you, and then left. So these days I handle the affairs of the Space Military Intelligence Office by myself, I hope you are still satisfied. Oh, by the way, there is also the Costa Fortress. I checked, and this information seems to have been withheld by Mr. Alex. Come down, I don’t know the reason. But now the Costa Fortress has been lost, and His Majesty Larvin has lost his temper with our Military Intelligence Department because of this matter. I hope you can explain it to His Majesty as soon as possible."
"Let these things go to hell, I have more important things to leave to you." Regnar frowned impatiently.
"You said..." Goethe originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to claim credit from Regner, but now it seems that Regner is not in a good mood. Is it because of the incident at Fortress Costa? Goethe wasn't sure, but for now it seemed better for him to be obedient.
"First, send a few more people to the ice and snow plateau in the north to keep an eye on it." Regnar thought for a while and then said.
"Staring? Who are you staring at?" Goethe's mind was a little confused. He remembered that a raven had sent information before that the Barbarian King Rego had been solved by Regnar. Now the Barbarian side is in a mess. Now it's not right. Is it time for us to fish in troubled waters? What else could go wrong with Lord Alex there
"Of course I'm keeping an eye on Alex." Regnar's eyes were cold and he ordered: "Keep this matter as secretive as possible, send trustworthy people, and don't let Alex and the others know about it. Tell them, we must You need to keep an eye on that guy. If he makes any changes other than subduing the barbarians, send a message back immediately. I will say hello to His Majesty Larvin, and your Majesty will naturally make a decision based on Alex's performance. , you don’t have to worry about what happens next.”
"Yes, Goethe understands." Goethe nodded.
"Also, I have to leave Melindel for a while. During this time, you have to find a way to stabilize Anne and the others. In short, don't let them know about the fall of Fortress Costa and my departure." Regnar continued: "You should keep an eye on this matter until I return to Merindl."
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
"Finally, I will write a letter right now. After writing it, you go to the palace in person and hand it to His Majesty Ralph. Remember, you must hand it to him." Regnar said seriously. He said, after being tricked by Alex twice, Regnar really didn't know who to trust.
In the letter, he wanted to explain the fall of Fortress Costa and Alex's changes during this period. If this letter was interrupted by Alex's people again, Regnar would have to carry a heavy burden at that time. Blamed.
"I understand." Goethe nodded.
Regnar looked at Goethe and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because he suddenly remembered that Goethe was actually a member of the original Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. If Alex is doing things according to the requirements of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, then can Goethe be trusted
"Damn it, how come I turned around and realized there was no one I could trust?!" Regnar couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"You can't blame others for this." Garona said lazily: "You were the one who was hesitant about not wanting to take office, but now you know you are in trouble, right? Alex has been operating here for so long first , now you want to transform it into a department that belongs to you, but you can’t do it without a year or two!”
"..." Regnar rubbed his hair in distress, and then said as if he was breaking a pot: "The worst thing is that I won't do it anymore!"
"Tch! I don't know who vowed so much in the beginning that he wanted to join the Military Intelligence Agency and rely on his status and strength to protect the people around him? But then he became discouraged when he encountered a little setback? Did he give up?" Garona? The tone was a bit mocking: "And don't forget, it's easier to go up the mountain than to go down. It was just a matter of nodding your head to enter the Military Intelligence Agency. But now you want to get out, it is not so casual."
"I also understand this. I was just speaking out of anger..." Regnar said helplessly. Of course he knew it was hard for him to escape. After all, he had been the director of the Military Intelligence Department for more than half a year. Can you just quit this kind of intelligence department job? You quit your job, but many people are still thinking about the information in your head! Not only will the Stoker people want to catch you and torture some information from you, but the Hawke Empire will probably not let a person who knows the secrets of the empire become a common citizen comfortably, right
Moreover, Regnar did not want to return to the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. Without the protection of a big force, how could Regnar escape
"Just do your best." Garona sighed: "Let me tell you again, the world you are in now is very dangerous. Don't think about anything with a natural thinking mode, let alone laziness or incompetence. Do not slack off for reasons such as patience. Because once you slack off, what awaits you and your companions may be death."
"..." Regnar was silent for a moment, and then replied seriously: "I understand."
At this time Goethe had prepared paper and quill. Regnar sat in a chair and thought carefully, and then started to write a letter to Ralphin.
First of all, Regnar admitted that he was at fault for the fall of Fortress Costa, and he was willing to be punished for it. Afterwards, Regnar talked about Alex's recent changes. Naturally, Regnar didn't need to mention the fact that Alex was scheming against him with the barbarians, because this was a plan that he and Ralphin made together.
But Alex's move of withholding Stoke's offensive information before this update was a bit abnormal. Regnar really couldn't understand why Alex did this. Was he trying to trick the Hawke Empire? But although the failure of a fortress has an impact on the empire, it will not hurt the bones. But apart from this explanation, Regnar really couldn't think of any other intentions that Alex had. It’s not like he really wanted to kill Irene, right
Therefore, when he could not come up with any reason, Regner could only report what Alex had done truthfully, hoping that Emperor Ralphin would make his own judgment.
Finally, Regnar of course reminded Ralphin to be careful if Alex did anything else. He explained that he had sent people to the Ice and Snow Plateau to keep an eye on this guy, but because he had other things to do, he could not stay in Melinder at this time. If anything happens, Larvin can send Goethe to take care of it.
When he wrote this, Regnar was stunned for a moment, and then he added Snow's name. In fact, when he looked back and thought about it carefully, Regnar was surprised to find that Snow's performance was actually the best among his men. Although neither he nor Goethe had betrayed anyone, Snow's ability to do things was undoubtedly stronger than Goethe's.
Therefore, Regnar hesitated for a moment and thought he might as well give this Stoke man more trust and give it a try.
After Regner finished writing the letter, he handed it to Goethe. Goethe didn't dare to read more. He carefully collected Regner's letter, poured a little sealing mud on it, and stamped it with the seal of the Military Intelligence Agency. After doing all this, Goethe said: "Then, I will go and deliver a message to His Majesty Ralph."
"Okay, go ahead and do it!" Regnar nodded.
After Goethe left, Regnar sat on the chair and sighed. An hour and a half had passed now, and Regner was ready to take a rest and leave.
"Xiao Lei..." Garona spoke.
"Teacher, are you okay?" Regnar asked.
"Actually, I don't think you should go to Costa Fortress now." Garona said, although she herself had no hope of convincing Regnar.
"Why?" Regnar frowned: "Irene just escaped from danger, and now I need to be by her side to accompany her."
"..." Garona was silent for a moment, and then said: "Because I think it may be dangerous for you to go this time. Irene is already safe, and there is no need for you to go find her now."
"Danger?" Regnar frowned: "I didn't carry out any assassination, so how could there be danger? Teacher, what exactly do you want to say?"
"..." Garona sighed: "There are some things that I can't say. I just ask you, do you have to go on this trip?"
"We have to go!" Regnar replied affirmatively: "The information about Eileen in the Military Intelligence Office is incomplete. I have to go and see it in person before I can rest assured. If I don't go, I'm afraid even if I stay in Merindl I will feel uneasy. Therefore, I must go on this trip."
"Well, since my legs are on you anyway, I'm just a spirit body, so I can't stop you." Garona said helplessly: "You're old now, and now it's time to strike out on your own. Now Let me make your own decision on this matter. But there is one thing you have to remember."
"What?"
"I hope you can be calmer when doing things."
"I will." Regnar nodded.
Half an hour later, Snow gently knocked on the door of Regnar's office: "Sir, your things are ready. You can leave now."
