To be honest, Regner didn't expect to be nervous about attending an annual meeting.

On the day of the annual meeting, Regner did not wear the tight-fitting leather armor that he usually used, and this guy wore a black aristocratic robe like a dog. It was a garment that was of the highest quality from the fabric to the workmanship. And the design is also very close to Regner's figure, not only properly showing Regner's thin figure, but also giving people a feeling of thinness but not thinness. If Regner wears this dress and stops on the street, I'm afraid that just the back can make some young girls with spring flutter.

Not only the clothes, but this guy also carefully trimmed some sloppy short hair, leaving a handsome three or seven points, plus the shiny hair oil on his head, Regner's black hair has the capital to blind passers-by even at night.

When Regner was fiddled with by the waiter for a full two hours before being released, Erin's eyes lit up when she saw Ragner's appearance.

"Wow, I didn't expect Brother Regner to be so handsome!" "Erin put her arms around Regner's arm, half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"What stupid are you talking about, you girl?" Regner scratched Erin's little nose as if he was dissatisfied, and then said coaxingly, "Brother, when am I not handsome?"

"Hmph!" Erin pretended not to buy it: "It is said that people rely on clothes, I think it is your clothes that play a key role!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Regner rubbed Erin's long silver-gray hair, and then said with a smile, "It's all Erin's work, Erin hired a good tailor." ”

"Hee-hee!" Erin's silver-gray eyes narrowed into two crooked moons with a smile.

She had learned about this tailor after many inquiries, and although the shop was not large, his craftsmanship was well-known in high society, and many nobles wanted to order a dress or two from him. And recently, the Hawke Empire celebrated, and this tailor has received a lot of orders recently. Erin begged hard to get an order, but in the end, the old tailor with a strange temper couldn't stand Erin's tearful expression, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and decided to stay up one night and bring out an extra piece of clothing for the girl.

Of course, the salary will not be less. So, Anne Lot, who had just seen Regner and had a look of surprise in her eyes, spoke: "Then you will trouble you to return the gold coins, a total of five hundred gold coins." ”

"Five hundred gold coins?!" Regner's eyes were about to pop out: "How dare he ask for it!

"Haha, Brother Regner, don't be afraid, Erin will pay. Erin gave Regner another satisfied look, and then began to pull out a few money tickets from his dimensional pocket. Erin's money was not very valuable, and it looked quite old, but it was clear that Erin kept the money very carefully, at least when she took it out, each one was neat, not even a single corner.

"I'm ......" Regner was about to stop Erin from paying, but Annelot gave him a look, and although he didn't know why, he stopped paying for it. In fact, he is not short of money now, but where the money comes from...... Hey......

"This is a gift that Erin has been preparing for a long time to give you. Anne Lot said to Regner by means of telephony: "The five hundred gold coins are just the processing fee, and this garment is made of cloth, dyes, needlework, and inlays...... Including buttons and the like, all of them were slowly selected by Erin herself. When she was making this dress, Erin also gave the old tailor a night of work. She can't make such a good dress herself, so she can only ask for help, but other things besides design and workmanship, everything else is Erin's heart for you. Even the five hundred gold coins were saved by her little by little with the allowance issued by the academy. So, don't spoil the scenery with your stinky money at this time!"

"......" Although Regner was very touched to hear that Erin had done so much for himself, he was a little strange how Annie Lott acted like she had taken gunpowder today, and since that night's conversation, he didn't seem to have provoked that girl much, right?

Because Regnar wasn't a mage, he didn't know that Annelot had put some effort into the robe. For example, the two pieces of turquoise gems the size of grapes set in Regner's shoulders were given to Irene by Annelot. These two stones are the Heart of the Ocean, and moreover, they are the two stones that were dug from Annelot's artifact robe, the Ice Sea Blue Star.

Why would Anne Lot dig gems from her robes? Because she can't get anything good out of herself, Frost Maiden seems to be in the limelight as the head of the Second Academy of Magic. But only she knows the hardships.

In the six months since the beginning of the school year, Anne Lot has almost spent all her savings to make up for the financial loopholes in the magic academy. By now, the cash she could use was just over a thousand gold coins. And a precious and beautiful gem can easily cost 10,000 or 20,000 gold coins, which is a price that is too bad for Erin, who can't find a good gem. Anne Lott wanted to cry when she saw that Erin remembered this incident. So after thinking about it for a while, I decided to dig up two of the gems on my set of Ice Sea Blue Star and give them to Erin.

With Annelot's attainments in magic, she had naturally roughly figured out the overall structure of the magic circle on the robe of the Ice Sea Blue Star. But even so, digging up two gems made the robe less effective. The previous storage artifact that could store three ninth-level frost-based spells can now only store one ninth-level spell due to the lack of two nodes on the magic circle. In order for this product to be displayed once at the annual meeting, Anne Lot lost two-thirds of the effect of an artifact. Frost Maiden Rao doesn't care about these things outside her body anymore, and she is also a little distressed.

You say, how could she possibly give Regner a good look?

But...... For the sake of this guy's really good looks after wearing this dress...... Don't worry about him...... Anne Lot looked at Regner carefully, and then thought to herself.

Regner was in a mess with Erin, who had paid the bill. The half-elf had broken through that last boundary with Regner in the summer of half a year ago, and now Erin is much more lively and active than before. At the very least, she could blush slightly and admit that she was Regner's woman.

Thinking of this, Anne Lot's heart always involuntarily gave birth to a little weird emotion.

"Alright, Irene, don't make a fuss, we're going to sort it out briefly. You may also be speaking at tonight's annual meeting. Anne Lot seemed to be a little unable to stand the shameless flirting of these two guys.

"Huh, I'm going to play too?" Erin was stunned for a moment, although as a member of the Second Academy of Magic, the half-elf had the qualifications to participate in the inner circle of this annual meeting. But she never thought that she would have to speak on stage. This caught her off guard, and she wasn't prepared for anything these days, so she was busy making clothes for Regner.

"Yes. Anne Lot nodded helplessly: "I heard that there is a voting session in the House Ceremony part of the annual meeting, where a person who does not need to speak will come up to the stage and say a few casual words. And according to the investigation of Ini and her 'Rangers', you should have the highest percentage of votes. ”

"How can this be?" Erin immediately trembled with fright as if Wen Leisa possessed her, "I...... I don't dare to talk about ......"

"It's okay, just say a few words when the time comes. Regner encouraged, "Don't be afraid of me." ”

"Uh-huh......" Erin nodded slightly, but anyone could tell that she was still nervous.

Speaking of which. In order not to make Erin too nervous, Regner could only divert his attention and say, "Where did Innie go?"

"She's the student representative of the Second Academy of Magic tonight, so she's been focusing on the annual meeting lately in addition to her homework. Anne Lott said with some pride: "Ini, I've been working very hard lately, and her hard work has paid off. ”

"That's what you taught well, Anne......" Regner took the opportunity to slap his ass.

"Okay, the annual meeting will start at about four o'clock in the afternoon, Irene, I'll take you to tidy up too, and you should put away the priest's robe you wear for work. "Anne Lott doesn't seem to be very addicted to Regner's set.

"Oh...... Good...... Okay......" When Erin heard the annual meeting, she seemed to think that she might have to stand in front of everyone tonight to speak, which made the half-elf nervous again.

Regner originally wanted to follow Erin, but as soon as he took two steps, he was glared at coldly by Annelot: "Don't get involved in the matter between our girls!"

Thereupon...... Regner could only watch very bitterly as the two girls were talking quietly and going away, and he had no choice but to rush to the place where the annual meeting was held, the first magic academy of the Hawke Empire.

......

"The guys who were caught recently were sent to the torture department first, and they knew what to do. Snow waved his hand to dismiss the MI agent who had come to question, and after the agent left, Snow put his hands in his hair and sighed deeply.

By now, he finally understood what it meant to move his mouth above and break his leg below. It does seem like the annual meeting should be a celebration of the whole world, but that doesn't include the rats who keep the empire running in the shadows. On the contrary, holding such a large annual meeting will naturally attract the Stoke Empire. The behemoth that once dominated the continent is now in a state of flux, and there's no guarantee that Kilron will do something at this point.

As a result, the MI has been in a state of high tension lately, with the exception of Chief Regna. They need to control every corner of Melindell, both in the open and in the dark, and they need to make sure that nothing goes wrong for this annual meeting to go on perfectly. In order to fulfill the requirements of the Empire, the Military Intelligence Department was busy from top to bottom. Regner, as the chief of military intelligence, escaped this disaster because he needed to participate in the annual meeting, so everything fell to Acting Director Snow.

To be honest, he's been busy enough these days.

Just as Snow closed his eyes and was about to rest for a few minutes, the door to the room was pushed open. Snow stood up without looking, knowing that only Regner would come in without knocking—this was his office.

"Your ......, my lord"

"I'm a little worried about you, so I'm going to come and have a look. Regner walked in and said flatly, "And there are some things that need to be dealt with." ”
