The king's words not only made Danmen Green nervous all of a sudden, but even Herman, who was looking down at the document next to him, couldn't help but roll his eyes, wanting to catch a glimpse of the king's current expression.

Although the MI and the police department exist only to spy on intelligence, but also to spy on the officials of the kingdom. But as a king, he usually doesn't say who he wants to spy on.

"The MI exists for this purpose, and every one of our agents is waiting to serve you, Your Majesty. Danmen-Green suppressed the shock in his heart and lowered his head to show his humble side.

"Sir Edwin Film, you ought to know, right?"

"The Chancellor of the Exchequer, of course, does. ”

"He's one," Peddy nodded his finger to the smooth leather surface on the armrest of the couch, "and Sir Collier, the Director of Education, and Baron Aemond, the Chief of Herion's Domain... According to the usual practice, the military intelligence department should have set up corresponding files and sent special agents to record their daily lives, right?"

"Yes!" a slight cold sweat broke out on Danmen-Green's forehead, and the cold air in the office made him feel as if he was in the cold winter.

Pedi nodded and pointed at Danmen Green with a cigar, "Activate those spies, I want to know who the three of them have met, where they have been, and what they have said twenty-four hours a day!"

"I'll set up a special intelligence team..."

"No!" Pedi immediately waved his hand, "You're directly responsible for this matter, starting tomorrow... Every night at ten o'clock, you and Chief Herman must come here to report back to me. ”

"I see!"

"The last two guys had some trouble... But it's very important. Pedi continued with the list, "Darik Danny, you don't need me to introduce me, do you? I was going to have him go to hell, but now I want him to live well, tell him about my gifts, and send someone to spy on him. ”

"It's going to take some time, but it won't take more than a month at most!" Danmen Green didn't oversay.

Pedi nodded slightly, and did not continue to say the last person's name.

"Whew" Pedi spat out a puff of cigarette as he stood up and walked to the open area of the office, his hands waving frequently, as if he didn't know where to put it.

Danmen Green, who was sitting on the couch, also stood up, and Herman, who was opposite him, continued to pretend to be reading the file carefully. The sound of the king's footsteps walking back and forth was like a hammer hitting the chests of the two of them at this moment, and the more serious the king's face, Danmen-Green's heart beat fiercely.

After about five or six minutes, Pedi suddenly froze, looked at the giant bear family crest carved on the checkered wall behind his office chair, and said in a cold and impersonal tone: "The last person, you don't need to spy on her, you just need to record who she sees every day?" Saviara!"

"Your Majesty—" The cold sweat on the back of Danmen-Green's body instantly soaked his Utsugi, and he summoned up all his strength to shout two words, and then he couldn't say anything else. The cold wind from the room blew down on his neck as he stood up, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine, that's my promise. Pedi soothed Danmen Green.

Danmen Green did not believe in the assurances from the king at all, but he had no way to refuse the order, so he could only sit down again under the king's appeasement.

After reassuring Danmen Green, Pedi immediately looked at Herman, "The case file is for you to take away, take it to your own office to see... Remember, the investigation process must be kept confidential, and I don't mind spending a little more time, a year or two. ”

Herman immediately stopped reading when he heard this, and Pedi continued: "Later, you go to Baron Hanina, she will explain to you what you don't understand, and you can use the police station disguise as you like until this case is over." ”

"Yes..."

"I don't make any comments on this case right now, everything is subject to the results of the investigation. Pedi looked at Herman's questioning and immediately spoke before he could ask.

"Stand down. ”

When Danmen Green and Herman heard this, they withdrew without hesitation. When the two of them walked to the door, Pei Diyou suddenly said, "Danmen Green, stay for a moment, I still have some things to ask you." ”

Danmen-Green's steps came to a halt as if he were fleeing, and then mechanically turned around and waited for the king's other orders.

"Come and sit down!" Pedi pointed to the couch near him, "what we're going to talk about next, you need to keep it a secret... In other words, no one but me and you should know about it. ”

When Danmen Green heard the King's words, he felt as if his legs were walking in the mud, and every step was extremely difficult. The king's words are to be heard in other words, that the errand that has just been given to you is only a small matter, and now we are going to talk about the most important thing.

Is there anything more important than investigating the King's mother?

If there was, Danmen Green decided he didn't want to touch himself. But a lot of things aren't what he wants!

"I've heard some rumors that my queen came to me just now... She didn't say anything about the rumors, but I knew what she was referring to, you—" Pedi asked, pointing to Danmen Green, who was sitting precariously, "You know what I'm trying to say, right?"

"Your Majesty—" Danmen-Green spat out two words as if he didn't know what to say, and his face turned red.

"I want to hear the truth!"

Danmen Green took a deep breath of cool air in his office, letting the coolness spread throughout his lungs, and said, "There are indeed some rumors slandering Her Majesty... Say yes... Her Majesty's father is using some kind of magic to make the queen infertile!"

"Pounce" Danmen Green immediately knelt down on one knee after saying that.

"Do you know where the rumors started to spread?" Pedi was calm at this time, pointing to the sofa next to him, "Sit down and say, don't you feel tired to talk like this?"

Of course, Danmen Green did not dare to disobey the king's words, he stood up and sat down and said: "By the time our agents began to investigate, the rumors had already spread among the upper nobles of the kingdom, and finally we locked down a café called 'Deep Water' in the upper district, and after investigation, we found that the rumors were spread by a merchant named Rennie. ”

"I guess this merchant must have been killed?"

"It's missing!"

Pedi raised an eyebrow, his face unrecognizable to see if he was angry. After a long while, he picked up the water cup on the coffee table and drank the water inside, "Tell me about the merchant." ”

"Renee, a native of Gerson, was originally a nameless foot merchant who disappeared two years ago, and when he reappeared two years later, he had become a vast chamber of commerce specializing in magical goods..."

Danmen Green had apparently memorized Rainey's information, and although he spoke slowly, he spat out every word with an affirmative tone, "His name was on the first list of the kingdom's canonized 'merchant nobles', and although he became a kingdom noble, he settled in Drake City... Before his accident, he traveled back and forth between Drake City and Crewe City, selling high-quality magic scrolls and magic goods... It is worth mentioning that his magic items are really very good, many nobles are willing to pay twice the price of his things, and the MI often customizes special magic items in his chamber of commerce!"

"This merchant named Rainey... Kindness... Where did he get his news?" said Pedi with a heavy bite of the word 'news'.

Danmen Green immediately stopped his endorsement and said, "According to his own words, his news was brought back from the Mage Tower, and it was said by a certain council member himself in his dreams. ”

"There's a problem here!" Pedi clapped the armrests of the couch with both hands.

"There are indeed some problems..."

"There's a weird feel to the whole thing I'm talking about!" Pedi stood up and walked around the room twice before sitting down again, "What do you think about this, is it true?"

"What... Really?"

"Is that true of what the merchant named Rainey said?"

Hearing this, Danmen Green suddenly lowered his head to hide his uncontrollable shocked expression, and said with all his strength to restrain the tension in his heart: "Your Majesty, the MI Department is not yet capable of investigating the affairs of the upper echelons of the Mage Tower, their various organizations are too tight, and if we want our spies to penetrate into it, we have to arrange it at least twenty years in advance!"

Pei Di looked at Danmen Green's reaction, and immediately reacted to his gaffe just now, he looked coldly at the military intelligence chief who lowered his head, "Forget what you said just now!"

"Yes!" Danmen Green's heart began to beat uncontrollably.

Pedi adjusted his mindset and asked, "Who are the people who helped Rainey spread the rumors?"

"It's hard to check... Because there were so many people who heard this rumor at that time, almost the whole city of Crewe spread it in the blink of an eye, and we couldn't forcibly stop the spread of the rumor, so..."

"You go down first!" Pedi pointed to the doorway, his tone filled with suppressed anger.

...

Today's dinner party in Kaval Fort attracted the attention of the upper nobles and big businessmen of the entire kingdom.

It has been a long time since the king has entertained foreign ministers, or the king rarely entertains foreign ministers. Moreover, after each such feast, something big happens within the kingdom.

The king's banquet tonight was attended by the Borgs of the Byan Territory and the Donna Families of the Harrens Domain. As the four major autonomous families in the kingdom, the existence of the two of them has an extremely special meaning.

However, just as the banquet began, a piece of news that made the kingdom tremble gradually spread among the upper nobles...

The newly established governor of the province of Harrens, Sake Marat, has been stabbed to death by a group of roving robbers!

Just as the nobles were talking, the Prime Minister's Government immediately issued a statement clarifying that Sir Seke-Marat had fallen from his horse and was not stabbed to death by robbers.

Half an hour later, the King's Office issued a strict order: it was forbidden to discuss the Syke-Mara fall in any public place by anyone.

Eleven o'clock in the evening,

The king's banquet was over, the two carriages of the Count of Borg and the Viscount of Donna left the castle gates, and a curfew began throughout the inner city.

The sixth block, the residential area of the upper nobles of the kingdom.

The official residence of Sir Collier, Secretary for Education, is located at the intersection of the block leading to Twilight Square. Since moving back to this place, every night before going to bed, the old mage would habitually step on the rooftop of the main mansion and look up at the starry sky by moonlight.

Collier has loved the starry sky since he was a child, and for an old man, the memory of being a child has long been blurred, but the memory of looking up at the starry sky has not disappeared. It's just that when he was a child, he looked up at the starry sky, but he simply felt that the endless starry sky was very beautiful, and when he grew up, he liked the vast starry sky, and now he likes to use the endless starry sky to remind himself of his insignificance.

"Papa Tower"

On the street, a horse-drawn carriage appeared under the street lamps on both sides, and the sound of gears turning accompanied by the hooves and wheels slid down the street and then stopped directly outside the gate of the villa, and Collier, who had been shrouded in darkness, immediately leaned down to check.

The crest of the Flynn family on the carriage made him frown, and the last thing he wanted to see was the Chancellor of the Exchequer. But he had to see it! for the favor they had previously owed, and for their inseparable alliance in the kingdom's political situation.

After Edwin's entourage at the gate below revealed his identity, the servant of the mansion opened the door directly.

Cowlier cursed "stupid" and took a deep breath, then looked up at the boundless starry sky that held up the sky.

In a short time, there was a sound of footsteps in the attic of the rooftop, and Cowrell retreated to the sofa next to him and sat down with his eyes closed and pretended to be asleep.

Flickering candles dispel the deliberately covered darkness on the rooftop, and Edwin and the housekeeper appear at the door of the rooftop. When the butler was about to call the old mage, Edwin took the candle from the butler's hand and dismissed the butler.

"What kind of deworming are you using, it's summer, sleeping in this kind of place is careful of mosquitoes getting sick. Edwin approached slowly, placed the candlelight on the coffee table between the two couches, and spoke to himself, regardless of whether Cowlier was actually asleep or not.

"I used to live next to the manure pit for half a year, and it was also summer. Collier didn't open his eyes, he squinted and stretched out his arms very lazily, "Magicians always have some way of doing things you can't, and if you're interested, I'll be happy to pass on some of this to you." ”

"If I want to be a magician, there is an opportunity when I am young. Edwin shook his head and leaned back on the sofa, and the moment he raised his eyes, he saw the night sky full of stars, and couldn't help but say, "I haven't seen the night sky for a long time, I remember when I was very young, my favorite thing was to point to the stars in the sky and ask my mother and grandmother strange questions... Some strange questions..."

Edwin's eyebrows furrowed together, and he smiled self-deprecatingly after struggling for a long time, "Time is so unforgiving, it can make me forget what weird questions I asked when I was a child." ”
