Chapter 34: The Successor
When Regner got out of the car, he covered his face and walked forward without looking back, which surprised the driver again: "Miss Anne is so powerful......?
But before he could continue, Anne Lot stepped out of the carriage. She glanced coldly at the coachman, and then the poor fellow suddenly felt as if he had been thrown into the extremely cold ice cave of the 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountain.
"Don't think nonsense, don't talk nonsense, or ......"
Before Anne Lott could finish speaking, the coachman rushed to say, "I don't know anything! I don't see anything! Miss Anne, what are you talking about?"
"That's pretty much ......," Anne Lot nodded in satisfaction, and then turned to leave.
......
"Hiss......" Regner gently touched the corners of his bruised eyes, and then couldn't help but gasp.
"Anne, this girl is still so ruthless......" Regner couldn't help but sigh.
"Instead of complaining about my cruelty, you should take care of your own mouth!" Anne Lott followed at some point.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Regner quickly stood upright, in fact, he was not unaware of the fact that he would be beaten for doing so. But how do you say it sometimes...... It's just that the words come out of my mouth unconsciously, and I really can't control it if I want to!
"......" Anne Lot looked at Regner's dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and felt a little helpless. She sighed silently, and thought silently: "That's it, looking at this appearance, no matter how you clean him up, he won't really restrain himself, right?" I don't know what this guy thinks, he is so thick-skinned......
"Annie, when are you leaving?" Regner asked coldly, after a pause.
"......" Anne Lott also paused, and then said, "It depends on when Your Majesty approves the matter of the laboratory, and besides, this matter cannot be done by me and Lady Perilia alone. I'm going to invite a few alchemists from the Court Mage Guild to study together. ”
"It should be soon, right?" Regner smiled bitterly, "The sooner the magic cannon can be put into the battlefield, the sooner it can change the situation of the war in the empire." So, I think your majesty should be eager for you to be able to devote yourself to the study of the magic cannon right now. In addition, if the magic cannon can be restored, it will be a great achievement in any case. I think even those from the Mage Guild will respond positively to your call. So, you should be leaving soon, right?"
"That's how it should be. Anne Lot nodded.
"......" Regner said helplessly, "At first you left, I found you, then Erin left, then the boss and Sister Vera also left, and finally you left again...... How do I always feel that before I know it, you are all getting farther and farther away from me......"
Regner's tone wasn't very heavy when he said this, but Annelot caught a touch of sadness in his eyes. Although Regner has tried his best to hide it, there is only that trace of sadness, which he can't hide.
"You're still a child......" Anne Lott said with a sudden smile.
"Huh?" Regner was stunned.
Annelot reached out and touched Regner's head, even though Regner was much taller than her now, Annelot looked so natural when she did it. It's like a mature sister comforting her younger brother.
Annelot's tone was rare soft, she looked at Regner with some encouragement, and then said softly, "We've always been by your side, whether it's me, Erin, or the boss. We're always there for you, just as you've always been there for us. Don't forget, didn't you travel thousands of miles because of a letter from the boss, so I'm sure they would have rushed to you without hesitation if you had asked. We are all there for you. ”
"And what about you?" Regner asked blankly, and to be honest, Annelot in his eyes was no longer the cold and arrogant she used to be. She melted, turned into water, and now Annelot, as soft and soft as water. It seemed that it was the first time for Regner to see such a gentle Anne Lot, which couldn't help but make him a little stupid.
"Me?" A hint of cunning flashed in Annelot's eyes, and she chuckled before saying, "You don't have to say anything to me. ”
"Why? I ......," Regner looked a little anxious.
Annelot stretched out her white index finger, and she tapped Regner's chest lightly, and through her clothes, she sensed an object the size of a quail's egg on Ragner's chest. A flash of joy flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Because of this." As long as it's there, I'll be able to find you at any time. ”
"Hey...... "Regner laughed rarely, shyly.
"Take it out. ”
"What are you going to confiscate?" Regner looked nervous, but he removed the space gem from his neck.
Anne Lott didn't answer, she just took the gems and then used her magic to infuse them into the space gems.
"Alright. "Anne Lott was visibly weaker after all of this.
"You're ......"
"I carved a one-time magic circle on it. Annelot wiped the sweat from her forehead and explained, "This circle can only be activated once, and then it will be destroyed." Its effect is that it can withstand the impact of a Dou Qi and feed this impact back to me, that is, if you infuse Dou Qi into this gem, I can sense it. Then I will naturally be able to use the spiritual connection with the space gem to search for your location. So, if there is anything urgent, use it, and I will immediately feel your side. ”
"Isn't this similar to the purpose of the teleportation crystal?" Regner looked at the space gem in his hand with some novelty, under the processing of Anne Lot just now, this gem has some new textures, is this the magic circle? How does it look like it was broken?
"But you can only use it once. Annelot repeated: "So, don't use it until you have to, and once you do, I'll rush to your side wherever you are." So, what you have to do is to persevere, hold on until I come to you. ”
"Understood. Regner nodded, although it was not very honorable to say that relying on a woman to be a talisman for herself, but since this was Anne Lot's intention, Regner could not refuse.
"Well, there's nothing else. Anne Luo nodded: "I also have to explain what I am responsible for at the Military Intelligence Department, I will leave first." ”
"Okay......" Regner nodded.
......
"Coming back?" Alex looked at Regna with some schadenfreude, knowing that this guy hated the Imperial Council the most, because Alex himself hated it very much.
"Well......," Regner replied faintly, and then sat there silent.
"If you have something, just say it. Alex took a sip of coffee and said lightly.
"Anne is leaving. Regner whispered.
"Oh. Alex replied lightly.
"You don't seem surprised. Regner was stunned, he thought Alex would be even more surprised.
"With that girl's personality, isn't this expected?" Alex stretched, "Oh, a rare leisure time!
"......" Regner was a little speechless, although he didn't come here to complain to Alex, but he didn't expect Alex to be so leisurely. So, he said with a bit of revenge: "So, after Anne leaves, her affairs will also be handed over to you." ”
"Hmph, stinky boy, I knew you were waiting for me here!" Alex was still very calm, he rolled his eyes, and then said with a bit of a scoundrel: "I don't care, I don't have that much time, I can't do this!"
"I'll go to Mr. Vellais!" Regner got up and left.
"Come back!" Alex was anxious at the time: "You kid don't want to use the president to crush me for the rest of my life?"
"Anyway, it can hold you down at this time, so if you can use it, you can use it. "If it's just about the ability to play scoundrels, then no one dares to call it first when Regna says second. Just kidding! Don't you look at who Uncle Regner is playing with? Is that Miss Annelot? Ordinary people are probably playing themselves badly, right?
"You ......" Alex blew his beard angrily and glared, and in desperation, he could only snort angrily: "Dealing with you kid, uncle, I have never taken advantage!"
"Who made you like to hide yourself?" said Regner, rolling his eyes.
"That's it!" Alex gritted his teeth and said, "I just have a solution, you like to use it or not!"
"Say it. ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to choose another person to be your helper?" Alex spread his hands.
"So I'm just asking you who to choose. ”
Alex sighed, then said, "Snow, you come out!"
"Lord Regner, Lord Alex. Snow saluted respectfully when he came out.
"Is that you?" Regner smiled, "I haven't seen you much in the past six months, and I almost forgot that you were following Alex to do things!"
"Lord Regner, you're busy with official business, and it's normal that you can't remember. Snow bowed his head slightly and responded, I have to say that although it has only been half a year, under Alex's tutelage and training, this guy is obviously a lot more mature than before.
"Uncle, is that the one you are talking about?" asked Regner, turning his head.
"That's right, it's him. Alex nodded: "This kid is very good, he is steady, and he is very clever, I think he can take over Anne's position." ”
"......" Regner didn't say anything to refute, the one who has been with Snow the longest is Alex, since he said so, then it seems that this Snow really has some ability.
"You might as well let him try it for two days first. Alex said, "If it doesn't work, why don't you think about it?"
"Why does it sound like this MIA is becoming more and more like a play family? so casual?" Regner couldn't help but think, but since Alex recommended this person, there must still be some reason. So he still nodded reluctantly: "Okay, let him come!"
