Chapter 161: Acting
"Go back, where are you going, why do you want to go back, why does the teacher say that?"
As if frightened by Minis, Agnes asked three or four questions in a row, wondering why his teacher asked about his return date when there was nothing important about it, and he didn't care about it for so many years.
"Lord Rogier says your mission is complete, and you've been here for quite some time. Speaking of which, Minis peeked at Duke and Vlavic before gritting his teeth and saying, "And the situation in the Norse Empire has also been unstable recently, so you'd better leave first." β
"Is the situation in the Norse Empire unstable, is there a war or a coup d'Γ©tat?"
This time Agnes finally got a little more serious, came back and asked Duke and got an affirmative answer, allowing Duke to complete a Martian perfectly.
"Hey, why is there a war?" Agnes was very depressed, "The church is judging that the empire will lose?"
Of course, it was impossible for Minis to say such a question directly in front of the two Norse Empire people, and after quietly watching Duke's reaction, he said vaguely: "It's just that I'm just a little worried about the safety of Her Highness the Holy Maiden." β
"Worried about my safety, then I don't have to go back. β
Agnes scoffed, waving her hand disapprovingly so that Minis didn't have to say anything more.
With the ridiculously powerful old Simon as a bodyguard, coupled with his noble status and equally good strength, Agnes didn't think that there were many people in this world who could pose any more lethal threat to the combination of the two of them, and Minis was obviously unwilling to tell the truth now.
"Your Highness, please think about it!" said Minis again, but Agnes remained unmoved, just scratching her fingernails impatiently in her seat.
"Lord Rogier said that the war between the Eagle and the Sheep has reached the most critical moment, please come back and help him!"
Eventually, Mineness couldn't resist Agnes' insistence and told him the true purpose of his trip, but in the end he kept an eye on it, and only said a few code words that were common in the church, so that Duke and them could not hear them.
However, what he didn't know was that Agnes had already given Duke a big science popularization of church knowledge, and Agnes had said everything that should be said and should not be said, and what Duke knew now even surpassed most of the deacons of the Church of Light, and even some of the secrets mastered by the top leaders were not as comprehensive as Duke knew.
For example, the "eagle" and the "sheep" are the representative animals of the two major factions in the Church of Light, the former is the representative of the radical reformers, and the latter is the representative of the old school.
"Is that so?"
Agnes finally lifted her spirits, touched her smooth chin with her right hand, and said, "But it's useless for me to go back, and you won't let me beat anyone." β
"Uh......" Minis was choked speechless, and after a while, he said, "Lord Rogier has made your own arrangements, and I hope you can leave as soon as possible, so that we will not fall into a passive situation." β
"But I still have to catch cats, and I won't have any free ones recently, what should I do?"
"I'll buy you any cat you want, please go back with me. β
I don't know if Agnes said this on purpose, Minis quickly took the bait, and directly patted his chest and promised to help Agnes solve the problem, hoping to complete the task assigned by the patriarch soon.
"Then it's decided? You can't go back, or I won't go back!"
Having received an affirmative reply, Agnes made sure again, in case Mini repented, and added conditions that he could not accept.
At this time, Minis had already sensed that something was wrong, but in order to make Agnes agree to go back with him, he could only grit his teeth and let it go, so he nodded and said again: "I will never regret it!"
"Lord Duke, did he say he wanted to help you catch the assassin?"
Duke, who had watched the whole process of Minnes' deception, could only hold back a smile with apologies, pretended to be very grateful and looked at the resentful Minis, and said, "Thank you so much Mr. Messenger, with your help, I will definitely be able to sleep well tonight!"
Knowing that he had been deceived, Mineness immediately jumped up and asked Agnes: "Didn't you say that catching a cat? What does it have to do with catching assassins?
"I'm talking about the cat orcs, aren't they cats too?" Agnes chuckled, "Besides, I promised the Duke to help him understand this matter, you can't let me break the appointment, right?"
At the end of the sentence, Agnes gave Duke a stealthy look, suggesting that he was stepping up his efforts to make Mineness determined to bleed.
Although he didn't know when he had made Agnes promise to catch the assassin, now that he knew that Agnes was fighting for his own benefit, he also said very cooperatively: "It is true, Her Highness promises me with the personality of the Pope and the glory of the Church that this matter will be resolved......"
"His Holiness the Personality and the Glory of the Whole Church?!"
Before Duke could finish speaking, Minis began to exclaim again, looking at Agnes and Duke in disbelief, killing him could not have imagined that Her Highness would gamble so much and press the glory of the entire church for a trivial matter.
"Uh, yes, that's it. β
Agnes, who had not communicated with Duke, could only smash her teeth and swallow the bitter fruit in her stomach, and after glaring at Duke fiercely, she had to pretend to be very sad and admit that she had indeed made this promise so recklessly.
"But I have to go back with you this time, how can I have time to catch any assassins!" Minis was so angry that tears were about to flow out, and a man of 1.78 meters covered his face and squatted on the ground speechless.
"Eh, it's not that you have to catch the assassin, it's barely acceptable that you can keep the Duke safe. β
Seeing that Minis was in such pain, Agnes felt that the heat was about the same, so she secretly and kindly reminded him to think differently.
"Keep him safe?"
Minis was a little confused, and hadn't turned the corner yet.
"For example, some magic props or something, or a bodyguard......"
"Magic props!"
At last Minis was enlightened by Agnes, and at once he thought of something, and impatiently pulled out a box that Duke was very familiar with from his breast pocket......
