"Old man..." As soon as Regnar walked to the door, he saw Malolite sitting quietly in the courtyard outside the door.
Of course, quietness is just his appearance. Because at this time, Malloryt was carefully wiping his sword - blue flash. This long sword with a green blade was shining with blue light under the sunlight, and it looked particularly dazzling.
But in addition to the bright color, Regnar could clearly feel a substantial murderous aura. When he first entered the courtyard, murderous intent rushed towards Regnar like a violent hurricane.
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Regnar's forehead. It was not because he was afraid that Malolite would kill him because of his bad temper. This was impossible to happen. Although this old guy usually looks a bit crazy and hooligan-like, on the inside he is still a sensible and good person. Although Annelotte was injured, she really had nothing to do with Regnar this time, so Regnar didn't believe that Malolite would vent her anger on him without any hesitation.
And the reason why he broke into a cold sweat was purely an instinctive fear. Entering the holy realm or legend does not only refer to reaching level 20 or above, but more importantly, the improvement of the cultivator's own realm. In other words, if one's own realm is not high enough, it is almost impossible for a person to step from level 19 to level 20.
And this improvement in realm brings not only changes in level, but also qualitative changes in life itself. To put it bluntly, it's like changing from a two-dimensional creature like an ant to a three-dimensional creature like a kitten or puppy. This qualitative change affects a life in all aspects, such as reaction, lifespan, cognition of the world, understanding of the nature of things, mastery of rules, etc...
Therefore, when a human being transforms from an ordinary person into a saint or a legend, his life has undergone a qualitative change compared with other people's lives. And this kind of change will bring pressure, as if in the eyes of ants, humans are creatures that are incomprehensible or terrifying to them. In the eyes of ordinary humans, sanctuaries or legends will also give them this feeling.
Just because the appearance is exactly the same, as long as these strong men deliberately restrain their aura, they will not notice it. But at this time, Regnar noticed the coercion contained in Malolite's murderous intent, which showed that Malolite was truly angry at this time.
"You're back." Malloryt turned to look at Regna, and then spoke in a cold tone.
"I'm back, everything is going well..." Regnar replied carefully. He finally understood how Snow felt when facing him - just like when he faced the angry Malolite...
"Well, I'll leave the rest to you." Mallory nodded and prepared to leave.
"Old man, where are you going?" Regnar couldn't help but ask, looking at Malolite's face. His face just said "I'm in a bad mood and I'm going to kill a few people." What on earth is this old guy planning to do
"Of course I'm going to avenge Anne." Malolite took back the blue flash again without knowing what method he used. He said in a frightening calm tone: "Since someone dares to hurt my precious daughter, then no matter what, I have to go to him to settle the score. What about an empire? As long as you dare to hurt my daughter, then I will dismantle it even if it is an empire! This time, I will dismantle that old Kilroan. Let’s talk about it in the palace!”
"..." Regnar looked at Malloryt's expression and knew that this old lunatic was not joking.
But old man! Then demolishing the palace is no joke! Although there is no sanctuary or legend in the Stoke Empire on the surface, who knows what they are hiding secretly? I alone have met a legendary mage who is as crazy as you! Judging from the command technique with incredible effects, it can be estimated that that guy is 80% stronger than you! Once you go to Thousand Years Old City, you will most likely die instead of joining the demolition brigade! Think twice, think twice, old man! Impulse is the devil!
Regnar complained in his heart, but in the end he could only persuade Malolite earnestly.
Ever since Annelotte slapped him three times, Regnar was finally less impulsive than before. At this time, he also knew that Malolite was now blinded by anger. So Regnar tried his best to stop Malolite, and even winked at Snow.
In the end, Snow was smart and said, "According to the investigation by our Military Intelligence Department, this matter may not have been done by someone from the Stoke Empire."
"What did you say?!" Malloryt's eyes widened. He turned to Snow and shouted: "Who else could he be if he wasn't a Stoker? Could he be someone from within the empire?"
"This..." Snow looked at Regnar and asked with his eyes whether he should tell Malolite all this information. After all, this is the intelligence collected by the Military Intelligence Office itself, and it is always inappropriate to leak it casually.
As the most powerful person in the Military Intelligence Agency, Regner nodded. Being able to stop Malolite was more important than anything else. Besides, this information is not particularly important. If it is leaked, it will be leaked!
After getting Regnar's approval, Snow continued: "Although Master Regnar did not give any orders, I still took it upon myself to arrange a secret sentry near the residences of several ladies. Of course, they were only responsible for making sure. The location of these ladies is not intended to be tracked and monitored."
"You are right to do this." Regnar nodded, indicating to Snow that there was no need to be nervous.
"The secret sentry was the first one to rush to the rescue when the incident happened, and according to his subsequent report, he said that he did not see any suspicious people entering or leaving the house at that time. Moreover, there were people who were unconscious and dead in the ruins at that time. The corpses are recorded in the Military Intelligence Office. They should have no problem." Snow replied.
"You mean, this might have been caused by people inside the mansion?" Regner asked. The mansion where Annelotte and Inelise lived was acquired by him and was the property of the Military Intelligence Agency. In order to avoid attracting attention, Regnar did not arrange many servants in the mansion, and Annelotte only returned there because she had just completed the alchemy experiment. She returned so suddenly that even her personal maid, Alian, didn't know about it.
In this way, if this incident is really aimed at Annelotte and Inelise. There is only one explanation. The culprit of this incident had prepared everything from the beginning. As long as Annelotte comes back, he can start taking action at any time.
In this case, either Stoke arranged a nail buried deeply here. But this is obviously unreasonable, because if you want to kill Annelotte, it is naturally best to do it before she successfully recovers the magic cannon, but Larvin's announcement had been sent out a few days before the research and development was successful. What are you doing now? Demonstration
But if it wasn't done by people from Stoke, the things inside would be a bit intriguing. Who on earth would plot against Annelotte at this time
Although Malolite usually seems crazy, how many people who can cultivate to the Holy Realm are fools? After listening to the above information, the old guy naturally understood the strangeness of this matter.
As for the people who would take action at this time, he could think of many names: Joffrey, Alfred, and even Larvin and Alexander. If it is these people, how should this matter be handled better
If it were really them, Malolite would naturally have the courage to demolish King Larvin's palace. But if not, it would be difficult for Mallory. After all, the Hawke Empire had provided him with free food and drink for so many years, and even the king of the country, Larvin, would seriously call out "Sir" every time he saw him. If this was being taken advantage of, and it made a mistake, wouldn't Malolite's originally bad reputation be tainted in his grandma's house
Therefore, Malloryt finally hesitated. When Regnar saw Malolite hesitating, he quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Old man, don't be impatient. Aren't Annie and Ini both in a coma now? With the care of Irene and her teacher, I hope they can come here It won't be a big deal. How about we wait until they wake up? Maybe they know something?"
"..." Malloryt was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's do it like this."
"Even if you don't say anything by then, I will use the power of the Military Intelligence Department to investigate this matter thoroughly, so you can rest assured." Regnar added.
"Okay." Malloryt took a deep breath. He looked at Regna and said, "Boy, you are much more mature now than before."
"After all this, I have to become more mature." Regnar scratched his head in embarrassment: "I don't want Annie and the others to be in danger because of me."
"I feel relieved to hear you say that." Malloryt patted Regnar on the shoulder: "Okay, since you're back, I'm going to take a rest. I'm really a little tired. .”
"Since the accident, Master Malloryt has not slept a wink. He has not slept for four days." Snow said quietly from the side.
"Old man, you have worked hard. Leave it to me in the future." Regnar said seriously. After all, warriors are no better than mages. Even for warriors in the holy realm, it must be very painful to go without rest for four consecutive days.
Malloryt waved his hands silently and left.
Regnar pushed the door open and walked in, only to find that Aline and Martin were not there at this time. Only Aline was sitting blankly beside the two girls' beds like a piece of wood, with a haggard look on her face.
The sound of pushing the door finally caught Ah Lian's attention. When she saw Regnar, the little maid who had always been mean to Regnar suddenly started crying: "Scumbag... you are finally back..."
