To be honest, Regner didn't expect that he would feel nervous about participating in an annual meeting.
On the day of the annual meeting, Regnar no longer wore the tight-fitting leather armor that he usually wore. This guy looked like a dog and put on a black noble robe. That is a piece of clothing that is of the highest quality from fabric to workmanship. Moreover, the design fits Regner's figure very well. It not only properly displays Regner's thin figure, but also gives people a feeling of being thin but not thin. If Regnar put on this dress and stood on the street, the mere sight of his back would make some young girls' hearts flutter.
Not only the clothes, this guy also carefully trimmed his short, sloppy hair, leaving it with a handsome three-quarter length. Coupled with the shiny hair oil applied to his head, Regner's hair was black. He has the ability to blind passers-by even at night.
When Regna was fiddled with by the waiter for two full hours before being released, Irene's eyes lit up when she saw Regna's appearance.
"Wow, I didn't expect brother Regnar to be so handsome!" Irene half-joked and half-seriously hugged one of Regner's arms.
"You girl, what are you talking about?" Regnar pretended to be dissatisfied and scratched Irene's little nose, and then said coaxingly: "Brother, when did I stop being handsome?"
"Hmph!" Irene pretended not to buy it: "They say a person is determined by his clothes. I think your clothes, brother, play a key role!"
"Yes, yes!" Regnar rubbed Irene's long silver-grey hair, and then said with a smile, "It's all thanks to Irene. Irene hired a good tailor."
"Hehe!" Irene's silver-grey eyes narrowed into two crescent moons with a smile.
She found out about this tailor after many inquiries. Although the shop was not big, its craftsmanship was well-known in the upper class, and many nobles hoped to order one or two clothes from him. With the recent celebration of the Hawke Empire, this tailor has received a lot of orders recently. Eileen had been begging hard to get an order. In the end, the old tailor with a somewhat weird temper couldn't stand Eileen's tearful expression. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and decided to stay up all night to get an extra piece of clothing for this girl. .
Of course, the wages will not be less. So, Annelotte, who had a look of surprise in her eyes just after seeing Regnar, spoke: "Then please return the gold coins to me, a total of five hundred gold coins."
"Five hundred gold coins?!" Regnar's eyes almost popped out of his head: "He really dares to ask for it! Was this clothes made with money tickets?"
"Haha, brother Regna, don't be afraid, Irene will pay." Irene looked at Regnar again with satisfaction, and then began to take out a few money tickets from the dimension pocket. The denominations of Eileen's money are not large, and they look quite old. However, it is obvious that Eileen keeps these money very carefully. At least when she takes them out, every piece of money is neat and tidy, even a corner is folded. No.
"I..." Regnar was about to stop Irene from paying, but Annelotte gave him a look. Although she was a little confused, she still stopped paying. In fact, he is not short of money now, but where the money comes from... Hehe...
"This is the gift that Irene has been planning for a long time to give you." Annelotte said to Regnar using sound transmission: "These five hundred gold coins are just the processing fee. This dress is made from cloth, dye, The needlework, inlays... including buttons, etc., were all chosen slowly by Irene herself. When she made this dress, Irene also gave the old tailor a whole night of work. She couldn't do it by herself. To produce such good clothes, you can only ask for help from others, but apart from the design and workmanship, everything else is Eileen's heart for you. Even the five hundred gold coins were distributed by her little by little with the help of the academy. I saved it from my allowance. So, don’t ruin the scenery with your dirty money at this time!”
"..." Although Regnar was very touched when he heard that Irene had done so much for him, he was a little surprised why Annelotte seemed to be on gunpowder today. Since the conversation that night, he seemed to have no mood. Why did you provoke that girl
Because Regnar was not a mage, he didn't know that Annelotte had actually put some effort into this robe. For example, the two grape-sized turquoise gems inlaid on Regner's shoulders were provided by Annelotte to Irene. These two stones are the heart of the ocean, and they are two stones dug out from the Ice Sea Blue Star, Annelotte's magical robe.
Why did Annelotte dig the gems out of her own robe? Because she couldn't come up with anything good herself, although the Frost Girl was the dean of the Second Magic Academy, she seemed to have unlimited glory. But only she knows the hard work involved.
Since the beginning of the school year, Annelotte has almost spent all her savings in order to make up for the financial hole in the magic academy. As of now, the cash she can use is only more than a thousand gold coins. And a precious and beautiful gemstone can easily cost ten or twenty thousand gold coins. This price made Irene anxious to find a good gemstone. Annelotte wanted to cry when she saw Irene remembering this incident. So after much thought, he decided to dig out two of the gems from his set of Ice Sea Blue Stars and give them to Irene.
With Annelotte's attainments in magic, she has naturally roughly understood the overall structure of the magic circle on the Ice Sea Blue Star robe. But even so, digging out two gems will greatly reduce the effectiveness of this robe. The magic storage artifact that was previously able to store three level nine frost spells can now only store one level nine spell due to the lack of two nodes on the magic circle. In order to show off this thing at the annual meeting, Annelotte lost two-thirds of the effect of an artifact. Even though the Frost Girl didn't care about these external things, she still felt a little distressed.
Tell me, how could she give Regnar a good look
But... seeing as this guy really looks better after wearing this dress... it's better not to argue with him... Annelotte looked at Regner carefully, and then thought to herself.
Regnar was currently having a quarrel with Irene, who had paid the bill. The half-elf had already broken through the final boundary with Regnar that summer half a year ago. Now Irene is much livelier and more proactive than before. At least, she could admit with a slight blush that she was Regnar's woman.
Thinking of this, Annelotte would always have some weird emotions in her heart.
"Okay, Eileen, stop making trouble, we have to sort it out briefly. You may also have to speak at the annual meeting tonight." Annelotte seemed to be unable to stand the shameless flirting of these two guys. That's a joke.
"Huh? I want to play too?" Erin was stunned for a moment, although as a member of the Second Magic Academy, the half-elf had the qualifications to participate in the core circle of this annual meeting. But she never expected that she would have to go on stage to speak. This caught her off guard. She had not prepared anything these days, so she was busy making clothes for Regnar.
"Yes." Annelotte nodded helplessly: "I heard that there is a voting section in the college ceremony of the annual meeting to select a person who does not need to speak to come on stage and say a few words. And according to Yi Ni and In the survey conducted by her 'guarding team', you should have the highest vote rate."
"How could this happen?" Irene immediately started trembling with fear as if she was possessed by Vereesa: "I... I dare not say... "
"It doesn't matter, just say a few words when the time comes." Regnar encouraged, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
"Hmm..." Erin nodded gently, but everyone could see that she was still nervous.
"Speaking of which." In order not to make Eileen too nervous, Regnar could only divert his attention and said, "Where did Yi Ni go?"
"She is the student representative of the Second Academy of Magic tonight, so besides her homework, she has been focusing on the annual meeting recently." Annelotte said with a bit of pride: "Ani, you have been working very hard recently. , and her efforts paid off.”
"This is what you taught me, Annie..." Regnar took the opportunity to flatter him.
"Okay, the annual meeting will start at about four o'clock in the afternoon. Irene, I will take you to tidy it up. You should put away this priest's robe for work first." Annelotte didn't seem very surprised. That's the way to go.
"Oh... ok... ok..." As soon as Erin heard about the annual meeting, she seemed to think that she might have to stand in front of everyone to give a speech tonight, which made the half-elf nervous again.
Regnar originally wanted to follow Irene, but as soon as he took two steps, Annelotte gave him a cold look: "Don't interfere with what's going on between us girls!"
So... Regnar could only watch the two girls walking away while talking in low voices. He had no choice but to rush to the venue of the annual meeting - the First Magic Academy of the Hawke Empire. .
…
"Those guys caught recently are sent to the Torture Department first. They know how to deal with them." Snow waved his hand and dismissed the Military Intelligence agents who came over to ask. After the agents left, Snow put his hands in his hair. Then he sighed deeply.
Now, he finally understands what it means to break a leg while talking. It seems that the annual meeting should be an event celebrated by the whole world, but this does not include the rats like them who secretly maintain the operation of the empire. On the contrary, holding such a large annual meeting will naturally make the Stoke Empire ready to move. The behemoth that once dominated the entire continent is now in a state of turmoil, and no one can guarantee whether Kilroan will do something in a hurry at this time.
Therefore, except for Director Regner, everyone in the Military Intelligence Department has been in a state of high tension recently. They need to control every corner of Melinder, whether it is open or dark, and they need to ensure that nothing goes wrong in order for this annual meeting to proceed perfectly. In order to fulfill the empire's requirements, everyone in the Military Intelligence Department was busy. As the director of the Military Intelligence Division, Regner escaped this disaster because he needed to attend the annual meeting. Therefore, everything fell on the acting director Snow.
To be honest, he was really busy these days.
Just when Snow closed her eyes and was about to rest for a few minutes, the door to the room was pushed open. Snow stood up immediately without looking, because he knew that only Regnar would come in without knocking - this was his office.
"Sir, you..."
"I'm a little worried about you, so I came here to take a look." Regnar said calmly as he walked in: "And there are still some things that need to be dealt with."
