Chapter Forty-Three: Master Mel
"I ...... Am I asleep?" Anne Lott was slightly surprised, although she was indeed very tired today, but she fell asleep so casually...... For the first time, indeed. Is it because this guy is around him, so he's letting his guard down? What are you kidding?
"You're probably too tired. Regner said as quietly as he could.
"How did you get close to me?" asked Annelott again, knowing how wary she was when she slept herself. The mere sound of the assassin touching the bedroom door was enough to wake Annelot, but strangely, why didn't the creature realize it until he picked himself up?
"I ......," Regner replied in a slurred manner, "I'm just picking you up, but gently." ”
"......" Anne Lott was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Let me down......"
"Oh......" Regner was about to put it down, but he suddenly saw that Anne Lot's right foot was not wearing a shoe at this time, and it turned out that the slippers she was wearing had just been knocked off. At this time, the right foot of the Frost Maiden is bare, and the five neatly trimmed toes are delicate and rounded, which looks very cute.
"This ......" Regner hesitated: "I'll send you back......
"Wouldn't it be nice if you put me in a chair?" Anne Lott wanted to ask, but she didn't know why, but the sentence stuck in her throat and never came out.
While Annelot was still a little hesitant, Regner had already carried Annelot to the new bedroom. Her previous bedroom was unusable due to fighting and bloodstains, so Ah Lian hurried out of a room after breaking free from Malolet's harassment.
By the time Annelot came to her senses, Regner had already put her on the bed.
"No, the lab is under attack, I'm going to go and take a look!" Anne Lott reacted.
"I'll take care of it in the lab, you can rest well tonight!" Regner gently pressed the shoulder of Anne Lot, who was about to get up: "It's rare that you can rest for a night, so let's sleep well!"
"......" was already Annelot's stubbornness, and this kind of thing would definitely not be left to Regner to do. But ever since the events of that night in Ocean Tide City had passed, Annelot had felt that something had become strange about her. At this time, for example, Anne Lot was confused...... Ahh
"That...... You better build the quilt yourself......" Regner's mind was also confused, so it was incomprehensible to speak. Please, it's summer, even if you're afraid of catching a cold, you can just cover a blanket at most, not to mention that with Annelot's ability to resist water, catching a cold is simply impossible for her!
"Thank you, scumbag, with me here, Miss will be fine. I think it's better for you to leave as soon as possible!" Ah Lian came over very untimely, she was already very angry when she saw Regner carrying Miss into the bedroom, what a bad impact on Miss!
"You little girl! If you dare to call me a scumbag, I'll drag you back to the MI and hang you! After the fight, maybe you will let the brothers who have worked hard in the department for so long be refreshed, and see if you dare to be arrogant in front of me when the time comes!" Regner cursed viciously in his heart.
But on the surface, Allian, no matter what she says, is Annelot's favorite personal maid, and her relationship and sisters don't give much, so this guy still put on a flattering face, nodded and left Annelot's bedroom.
"Hey!" Annelot called out to Regna again, who was about to leave.
"Huh?" Regner paused.
"What I said today, you better think about it, I didn't ......"
Before Anne Lot could finish speaking, Regner smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I trust you." You can tell me this today without hesitation...... I'm so happy!"
"......" Anne Lott was stunned for a moment, then she nodded and whispered, "That's good." ”
"Well, then, you can get some rest!" Regner waved his hand and left the room.
"Eh, miss!" said Arlene, frowning at Annelot's bed after Regner was gone. After spending a long time with Annelot, Ah Lian discovered the Frost Girl's cold personality on the outside and hot on the inside, so she became a lot more casual with her.
"Huh?"
"Today's scumbag seems to be extraordinarily gentle, not the same as the original dead face!" Ah Lian said with some excitement: "It seems that the young lady has adjusted and taught him well!"
"Ah Lian, don't talk nonsense!" Anne Lot's face was tinged with a faint pink, but because of the night, Ah Lian couldn't catch it. But even so, she turned over and turned her back to the maid.
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Ah Lian didn't relent: "I think ......"
"Help me get my slippers back, and one is in the parlor next door. Anne Lott seemed to be in tune, and in an instant she reverted to her usual cold tone.
"Yes......" Ah Lian replied weakly, and then muttered in her mouth: "Really, it's the first time I've seen a guy like Miss who is not frank!"
"You Nizi!" Anne Lott turned to teach Ah Lian a lesson, but she found that the clever girl had stuck out her tongue and closed the door and ran out.
......
Although Annelot's alchemy laboratory caused a lot of commotion, for the poor people of Melindell, it was nothing more than a dream-disturbing explosion at night.
Early the next morning, Annelot went to the alchemy lab, and Regner did exactly what he promised. Although the previous explosion caused a mess in the laboratory, under the super high execution power of the Military Intelligence Department, the alchemy laboratory was restored to its original state in just a few hours.
When Annelot arrived, the MI agents on standby next to the lab also handed over to her the casualties they had counted last night.
Alchemists were killed three and two were wounded. Eleven assistants were killed and thirteen were injured.
Seeing this result, Anne Lot couldn't help but blame herself a little, blaming her for neglecting to take precautions, otherwise the laboratory would not have suffered such a big blow. Annelot's alchemy laboratory, with the exception of herself and Perilia, the other alchemists were all invited from the Court Mage Guild.
Although the restoration of the magic cannon is a big alchemy project, in fact, there are only ten alchemists involved in this project, and after last night's attack, three alchemists died directly. Coupled with the fact that the wreckage of the magic energy cannon that was finally transported to the alchemy laboratory was completely destroyed, last night's attack can be said to have caused a lot of losses to the alchemy laboratory.
Moreover, this loss is not unique to Annelot. Master Mel, the president of the Court Mage Association, was also distressed by this. However, the old man seemed to have a preference for Annelot, and he did not say a word to Annelot for the next few days. On the contrary, it was Regna and the captain of the Imperial Capital City Guard who were dragged by him and scolded for I don't know how many times.
Master Mel pointed to the captain of the guard's nose and scolded, "Returning to the city guards, you told me what you prevent......ed?
"Well, wasn't I still in prison by them?" thought to Ragner, lazily.
"You can't do it when you meet Stoker's agents?" I don't like it, if Stoke soldiers come to the city, will your convoy be just a decoration?" Mel stroked his gray beard, and then turned his head to see Regner's expression as he listened to himself scolding the captain of the guard.
"What are you proud of?!" Meldon's eyes widened.
"I didn't ...... Not...... The kid didn't dare ......," Regner lowered his head in a smug manner. Although he didn't have much contact with Mel, through what people usually said about him, Regner also knew that the dry little old man in front of him was a hot-tempered and stubborn guy.
However, despite his temper, Mel is a good person. Not only does Mel not have any stinking stinking of the president, but his stubbornness is always based on integrity. Of course, what is more admirable is naturally his strength.
How strong is Mel? So what is a quasi-legendary?
Let's put it this way! In the Hawke Empire, leaving aside the ethereal and nameless hermits who may live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, on the bright side, Mel is recognized as the strongest mage. In people's eyes, the only person who may be able to compete with Mel is the dean of the Stoke Imperial Academy of Magic, and that guy is also a quasi-legendary strength. It's just that judging from the style of acting in the past, the dean's evaluation is much lower than that of Master Mel.
And apart from him, perhaps only Kilron, the king of the Stoke Empire, has reached quasi-legendary strength. However, His Majesty the King is "diligent in political affairs", coupled with his advanced age, presumably his magic may have regressed a little in recent years.
And Regner's attitude towards Mel is still more respectful, firstly, because although this old man has a bad temper, his ability is also tough. And this old guy has a straight temperament, which is more tempered by Regner. The second reason is that since Annelot entered the Court Mage Association, a strict Master Mel has admired the Frost Maiden, and has taken good care of her over the past year.
At first, Regner thought that Mel was disrespectful and wanted to take advantage of Annelot, but after a period of observation, he found that he was living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Because of this, Regner has a lot of respect for the president of the Court Mage Guild.
Therefore, although he is now the director of the dignified military intelligence department, he does not feel the slightest embarrassment or dissatisfaction when he is pointed at and scolded by Mel. Not to mention him, even Joffrey and Alexander were both reprimanded by him. Everyone is like this, so what can Regner, an orphan from the grassroots, say?
