"The footsteps of that person?" Regnar was stunned after hearing this. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Who is that person?"
"..." Malolite was silent for a moment, and then he asked: "You are the director of the Military Intelligence Department, don't you even know these things?"
"What are you talking about?" Regnar was still confused.
"I thought you already understood." Malloryt sighed and murmured: "Didn't you expect that both the Stork Empire and the Hawke Empire are trying their best to cover up this matter? Hehe... "
"Old man?" Regnar looked at the complicated expression on Malloryt's face and couldn't help but shout tentatively.
"Boy." Malloryt turned to look at Regnar, and then said: "If you are really interested in this matter, you might as well check the information about the founding war. If you use the power of the Military Intelligence Office, It shouldn’t be difficult to figure out what happened.”
"Okay." Regnar nodded. There are many records about the founding war in the database of the Military Intelligence Office, but because he was too busy at ordinary times, Regnar did not invest too much in what happened in those years. s concern. And since Malolite made the matter so cryptic, Regnar felt that it might be necessary to look up the history of that year. He felt that this would help him understand the country better.
Irene's crying gradually weakened, and Regnar felt that she had almost vented her anger. So he started to come forward to comfort her.
Seeing Regna behave so affectionately towards another girl, Malloryt couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. He walked up to Annelotte and asked cautiously: "Daughter?"
"Don't worry." Annelotte replied calmly: "I'm fine."
"That's good..." Mallory nodded: "If this kid dares to bully you, tell me and I will deal with him."
Annelotte just nodded slightly to Malolite, not knowing whether she agreed or simply expressed her gratitude to Malolite for caring about her.
After Regnar comforted Irene, several people left Costa Fortress. As for Alpacino's coffin, it was carried back in a carriage by the entourage brought by Regner. Then naturally, as mentioned before, Alpacino's body was returned to his hometown.
It took Regnar nearly ten days to handle all this. In the past ten days, letters urging Regnar to return as soon as possible came from Merindel almost every day. It seems that the loss of Costa Fortress has indeed caused a lot of trouble for the Hawke Empire.
And Regnar also knew that he had an unshirkable responsibility in this matter. Therefore, after burying Ms. Nancy, Regnar, Annelotte and the others were ready to return to Merindle.
Because Melindel was pressing very urgently, Regner did not dare to delay too much. Fortunately, there was a high-level mage Annelotte among them. With the help of her teleportation technique, it only took more than two days for Regnar to rush back to Melinder.
At this time, the news that Annelotte killed the red flame magician Saron alone had gradually spread. In order to welcome the most dazzling star of the young generation of the empire, Miss Annelotte, known as the Frost Queen. Many residents of Melinder have spontaneously formed a welcoming team to welcome Regnar and his companions back.
And the result naturally did not disappoint any of the residents of Melinder. Annelotte is a top beauty in terms of image, temperament, appearance, and behavior. In addition, she has a record of killing the red flame magician alone. . Therefore, when she appeared in front of the residents of Melinder, almost all the residents cheered.
Malolite seemed to take great advantage of this. He waved his hands excitedly, as if the residents of Merindl were all here to greet him. However, Regnar surprisingly expressed his understanding of his performance. After all, Annelotte is Malolite's daughter. Seeing that her daughter is so admired by others now, it is normal for her to be a little excited about being a father.
But looking back at Annelotte, this girl was very unaccustomed to noisy and lively scenes. She frowned slightly, as if she was a little impatient with the people around her.
Looking at Erin, she is not used to being the center of attention. Especially when there was a world-class beauty like Annelotte beside her for comparison, she felt even more ugly. So since entering the city, Erin has been standing in a corner timidly, as if she doesn't want to attract anyone's attention.
Regnar was also deeply touched by Irene's performance at that time, and he made up his mind that the first thing he would do after settling down was to restore Irene's appearance.
But no matter what the mentality of these four people who are the targets of welcome. But there was nothing wrong with the reception in the end. Annelotte rushed to her alchemy laboratory after returning to Merindle. Even though she was hesitant about what she was doing now, Annelotte was even more unaccustomed to giving up halfway. Currently, the research on magic cannon has reached its most critical stage, so Annelotte naturally has to work harder.
After bidding farewell to Annelotte, Regnar made some careful arrangements for Irene. He set Eileen's residence next to Inelise. In the past, the two girls got along very harmoniously, so Regnar also hoped that Inelise's lively and cheerful personality could influence Eileen more and make her She got rid of this painful memory as soon as possible. It was a relatively quiet residence, where Regnar, Inelise and Irene all lived now. Of course, there is also Annelotte's room.
After settling Irene, Regnar hurried back to the Military Intelligence Office without even having time to drink a sip of water. Although Goethe and Snow were handling the matter here, after being tricked twice by Alex, Regnar naturally did not dare to hand over power to others casually.
But even so, Regner still heard that Goethe had done a lot of small things in the past few days as acting director. But these are just some small benefits that Goethe obtained for himself. But even without any obvious betrayal of himself, Regnar was still furious because of Goethe's behavior of seeking power for personal gain.
After finding out what happened, he immediately called Goethe over and cursed him, then directly dismissed him from his position as assistant to the director, and sent him to secretly protect Annelotte's alchemy laboratory.
Looking back at Snow, this Stoke man has been conscientiously completing the work that the acting director should do since Regnar left. Other than that there is absolutely no additional action. This low-key and honest approach greatly won Regnar's favor. Therefore, Regnar also gave Snow more encouragement and rewards. This flattered Snow, who had always been cautious.
After adjusting the internal personnel arrangements of the Military Intelligence Department and finishing the things that had accumulated in the Military Intelligence Department in the past few days. Regnar hurriedly responded to Ralphin's summons. The fat king had been going crazy with anxiety these days!
Of course, there is no need to say much about the conversation between Regnar and Ralphin. Although Regnar wrote a letter to Ralphin, the content that the letter could explain was limited after all. At this time, Ralphin still had little idea of the ins and outs of the whole matter.
Of course, he wouldn't completely trust Alex. After all, this guy was the top executor of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, and he only took over the Military Intelligence Office because of the guild's orders. Therefore, Larvin also placed some spies from the Supervision Office around Alex. But Larvin did not expect that Alex would make such a simple act of concealing information in the handling of information.
Because this is simply unreasonable! Fortress Costa is indeed important to the two empires, but this fortress is far from important enough to affect the outcome of the war between the two empires. Therefore, Ralphin didn't understand why Alex would jump out at this time.
What on earth is he planning? This empire? No! Fortress Costa is not that important yet. So what else could it be
This was something that Ralphin could never figure out, so he was eager to have a secret conversation with Regnar. After observation by the Supervision Office, Larvin was convinced that Regnar and the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild were inseparable. This guy was just an independent individual now, and he would not give up everything for the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild.
Because of this, Larvin wanted to win over Regnar. Because once he belongs to the Hawke Empire, in a sense, the Military Intelligence Department, the artery of the empire's intelligence organization, will truly return to the empire.
Therefore, this secret conversation between Larvin and Regnar was quite heart-to-heart. Larvin even expressed unabashedly his desire for Regnar to fully serve the Hawke Empire. It's a pity that Regnar's answer is still very vague. His wish is very simple, that is, to use his own power to protect the people around him. Whether it's Kordak and the others, or Annelotte and the others.
But Regnar understood that neither the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild nor the Hawke Empire could fully give him these things. So he chose to wait and see between the two for a while before making a decision.
But Regner never expected that it was precisely because of his hesitation that he not only failed to gain support from any party in the end, but also let himself slip into the abyss of endless pain.
But at this time, Regnar was there with the mood of waiting for a price, making the two major forces stare. He completely forgot that the two major forces were actually two hard millstones, and he was just the stone mill. Just a small grain of food in between...
After explaining to Ralphin, Regner returned to the Military Intelligence Agency again. The days passed day by day just like before.
As for the question about Erin's appearance, it will take a few days for Enelise to prepare the potion. Moreover, because this time it was no longer an experiment, under Annelotte's instruction, Inelise put in 120% strictness in the preparation of the potion.
Whether it is the selection of materials, the accuracy of the preparation ratio, or even the alchemists who prepare the medicines, they are strictly controlled by Inelise. Although this approach caused a lot of dissatisfaction in Annelotte's alchemy laboratory. But after all, Annelotte had killed the red flame sorcerer Saron on her own just a few days ago. Her illustrious reputation is still very intimidating.
Therefore, whenever Inelise encounters problems in arranging tasks, as long as she brings out Annelotte, all problems will be solved. And this finally allowed Inelise to prepare the most satisfying potion in her history.
After the potion was successfully prepared, Annelotte specially arranged her schedule, and then dedicated an entire afternoon on one day to perform the limited wishing spell for Irene.
