Chapter 164: Because of That Man

Regner never imagined that Iniris would be as beautiful as she is today.

If Regner had to describe Innellis today in one word, Regner would choose to shine incomparably.

Yes, shine.

Today's Iniris is worthy of the word to shine. Under Annelot's design, Innalis wore a lilac evening dress today. Unlike Anne Lot's and Erin's more mature styles, the clothes Inellis wore today looked a little more girly, but Regner couldn't find even the slightest childish feeling from Innellis. Young, lively, and energetic, this is the main style that Innellis wears today.

Most of the nobles who are not familiar with Iniris can also feel the smell of sunshine and confidence emanating from her at the first moment they see the little girl. This made many middle-aged nobles appreciate and praise a little more at the first sight of Iniris. Even though the little girl hadn't spoken yet, they couldn't help but think to themselves how lucky they would be if they could have such a beautiful and capable daughter.

The little girl's hair seemed to have been magically treated by Annelot, and she changed her previous straight high ponytail hairstyle. The slightly curly long golden hair was casually draped over her shoulders, which made the originally immature little girl look a little more mature and charming. And this is also one of Annelot's good intentions: she hopes to constantly remind Regner through her appearance that this child is no longer the little girl who can be fooled casually, and she has grown up.

The little girl's face was painted with light makeup, and the emphasis was on highlighting her big green eyes that were as clear as the most precious emeralds. At this time, Innellis had veritable star eyes, and those eyes shimmered with strange agility against the background of the magical lighting of the exhibition hall. At this time, not to mention other aristocratic youths, even Regner himself couldn't help but have a word in his head when he saw Iniris's somewhat green and charming face: cute.

It's cute, it's cute, and almost the entire hall of men has been cutely touched by this cute and charming little girl from the Second Academy of Magic. Even many middle-aged ladies couldn't help but discuss with their husbands when they saw her.

"Hey, that little girl looks really cute. Since she is a student of the Second Magic Academy, her family must not be very good. Shall we take her as a goddaughter?" I can't help but want to pinch and kiss her when I look at that little face!" said a noblewoman with the badge of the Church of Tomorrow on her chest to her husband. That badge symbolizes the recognition of the Church of Tomorrow and shows that she is a kind person who is willing to give.

"It takes a lot of resources to train a mage. Her husband frowned, and said while calculating the gains and losses, "Is this girl worth our training?"

"Are you old and confused?" the lady looked at her husband with disdain, "You can become a student representative in the Second Academy of Magic, and you yourself say that she is not outstanding?"

"That's just as well. The man nodded: "Okay then, we'll see the situation later." ”

But they didn't expect that after ten minutes, they completely dismissed their plan to accept Xiao Yini as their goddaughter.

Innellis stood on the stage with a smile on her face. If it had been the past, Iniris, who had been stared at by hundreds of pairs of eyes, would have been red-faced and so nervous that she would have found a crack in the ground to get into.

But now, little Ini has changed, she has become brave, she has become mature. She searched quietly in the vast crowd of people in the audience, and the smile on her face grew even stronger when she saw Regner looking at her calmly with a smile on his face.

"Good evening, teachers, students, and all the noble ladies and gentlemen present. Innellis didn't have any speech in her hand, she just introduced herself in the opening line like Annelot: "My name is Inniris, Innellis Wright." ”

And what Innellis said after that was nothing special, it was nothing more than a brief report on some of the achievements she had achieved in the past few months of study.

And it wasn't until tonight that Regner learned that Iniris had broken through the low-level realm a month ago and officially became a mid-level mage. And she also became the first mid-level mage trained by the two major magic academies, although a mid-level mage is quite insignificant for a vast empire that covers half a continent.

But such a good start was very important for the Empire, at least, for now, Ralvin is sure that the two academies he built under great financial pressure were a wise decision. More than ten years later, when the Academy of Magic is on the right track, the Eagle of the North can also have a large team of mages of its own.

By that time......

And while Innellis was speaking on stage, Alexander was also sitting in an unnoticed corner and quietly listening to what was being said on stage.

"Your Highness. A shadow appeared near Alexander at some point, his whole body hidden in the shadows of the hallway, and his voice was so small that only Alexander could hear him.

"Have you found out?" Alexander still looked at Iniris on the stage with a gentle smile, but his words were addressed to the shadow.

"It's already clear. The shadow replied, "That assassin should be the strongest assassin in the assassination department of the Stoke Imperial Intelligence Agency, he has no name, we all call him number one." ”

"No surprise?" Alexander frowned at the ambiguous explanation.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. The shadow bowed slightly: "The Assassination Department of the Stoke Imperial Intelligence Agency has a high degree of secrecy about their top three assassins, and until now we have not been able to find out the details of these three assassins, including their real names, genders, ages, etc. ”

"It sounds like they're doing a lot more than Regner. Alexander sighed helplessly, took a slight sip of the red wine in the crystal glass, and then asked, "Can you find out the relationship between Regner and the Assassin?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but we don't have a clue about this matter. But based on my observations and speculations, I don't think Master Regner has been in contact with One for long. The only possible chance they had to come into contact was the time Master Regner went to the thousand-year-old capital to look for his weaponry. According to the information from the thousand-year-old capital, it seems that a master came to the mansion of the imperial king Sun Sartre to stop Lord Regnar, but in the end he was unsuccessful. ”

"I see...... "Alexander thought thoughtfully, he carefully recalled what Regner said when he was talking to him, and then asked, "Can you make some guesses about the gender of that number one?"

"Yes. Shadow nodded: "Based on past information and Lord Regner's performance, there is a good chance that Number One is a woman." ”

"Woman?" Alexander raised an eyebrow, then said half-jokingly, "So Regner really isn't a?"

The shadow of the "......" was full of black lines, but there was no answer.

"Is it possible that Regner made some kind of deal with the Stokers?"

"Yes, but it's not very likely. The shadow replied, "Although Lord Regner is not very loyal to the Empire, he hates the Stokers quite much because of what has happened in the past few years. So, under normal circumstances, Lord Regner would not betray the Empire. ”

"But now there are real variables ahead. Alexander said quietly: "Alfred." ”

"But Your Highness, you have made a promise to him. ”

Alexander turned his head as if in no doubt, and then he smiled and said, "Is this partiality?"

"The subordinates don't dare. ”

"Well, you should also understand my character, in front of me, it would be more pleasing to be calm. Alexander shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "Actually, I agree with you on this matter, that assassin should have something to do with Regner, but this assassination incident should not be instigated by Regner." The finishing touches on this matter have been taken care of according to Regner's request, so you can go first. Oh yes, I wish you a happy new year in advance. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, your subordinates have retired. ”

"You guy......" Alexander muttered to himself, seemingly helplessly, before continuing to watch Innellis speak on center stage.

"I'm not a Hawker Empire. Innellis's voice sounded as crisp and pleasant as a mountain stream, and she smiled and said, "Of course, I'm not a southerner. Unlike everyone else, my hometown is even more distant, on the continent of Reims. ”

Hearing Iniris say this, many nobles began to talk in low voices. Iniris also gave them a few seconds to talk, and then took a deep breath and continued: "At the beginning, I was just a helpless little peasant girl. Later, a man appeared. He saved me when my life was in danger, stayed with me when I was lonely, protected me when I was helpless, and encouraged me when I lost my bearings. ”

In fact, when she said this, Iniris's head had been completely blindfolded. She had already prepared a more ornate and touching speech, and had memorized it for the evening. But when she actually started talking about the last paragraph of her speech, she suddenly couldn't remember anything.

In this case, Innellis could have made a concluding remark and then ended the presentation. But she didn't, because she had been waiting for years, and now, she didn't want to wait any longer, even for a second. Therefore, Iniris can only rely on the ability she has exercised in the student club at this time to think of what to say.

"In the academy, I often ask my classmates why I work so hard to do everything. Now, I can give you the answer to this question. Innellis focused on Regner: "The reason why I have this constant motivation is because of that person. ”
