Earl Norton looked at the thin top-secret document in front of him, and he didn't know anything in his heart.

In fact, the top-secret documents all come from top-secret incidents, but the sources of top-secret incidents are all strange. As a result, these unexplained incidents will be reported layer by layer until they are put on the desk of the Prime Minister's Clerk. The clerk will then choose whether to give or not to give the prime minister a look according to the likelihood of seeming. The documents themselves are sealed in a top-secret red cover and then stored.

In fact, in the history of Desik, most of these so-called top-secret incidents are unprovoked, at first, the Desik royal family also demanded that every case must be investigated, but then there were really no clues, and most of them were gone. Before, no one had ever imagined that there would be a connection between these events.

After taking a deep breath, Earl Norton opened the first document.

Inside a fur shop in White Rock Castle.

The visit to De Sick's diplomat did not seem to go so well, and Green took out his official identity, but it was clear that the Mannings were not very popular in White Rock, and after being welcomed into the State Tent and sitting empty for a long time and drinking three pots of black tea, Green finally met the pot-bellied De Sick Diplomat Gilbert.

After entering the house, Sir Gilbert didn't take Green seriously at all, "This one from Manning, what is your name, just tell me what you have to do!" Sir Gilbert poured himself a small glass of tequila with a loud voice, and waved his hand to signal that Green had something to say.

As a result, the meeting was rather unpleasant, and Green did not get any of the results he wanted, except that he was allowed to act openly in White Rock.

"Have you asked anything about Archduke Edward?" asked Setie.

"No, I didn't have a chance to speak at all, that sir, busy doing other things, just sat down for a cup of black tea, and left. Green was slightly dissatisfied.

"Lord Green," Glenn came up to him, "Actually, if you have been in Desik for a long time, you will know that Desik people have always been so arrogant and arrogant, especially for us foreigners. ”

"Hehe, then it's really not easy for you to make a business happen here!" Green couldn't help but sarcastically say something to Gülen.

Setie thought for a moment, "If that's the case, I think we can start from the following aspects: Gülen, you go and collect detailed information about Archduke Edward, although he has always been the first person in the De Sick military, but this person is very mysterious and rarely appears in international affairs, and in the past, these things have always been done by his brother. Green, I think now that the diplomat has given you a pass, we can go and visit officials at all levels in public to get a feel for De Sick's current condition. The most important thing is that we need a breakthrough point, and I have a hunch that this breakthrough point is on a certain minister. ”

Green waved his hand, "I don't understand your magician's intuition, I don't have a clue right now, you can arrange it." ”

"And," continued Setie, "Archmagister Merlin will send me two assistants, and I want to wait for them here. ”

"That's great!" finally had good news, and Green was in a better mood.

So, in the following days, the two of them went to visit the officials at all levels of the Desik Empire, and openly operated among the upper nobles of White Rock City in the name of easing relations, while quietly observing the entire Desik aristocracy. And Gülen, this stupid businessman, used his business ability to find out what Archduke Edward had done, although, it was all some market theory.

Of course, Gülen also lived up to expectations and showed that he couldn't handle such an important task, and he, the "Elder Desik" of the White Rock City Branch of the Adventurer's Guild, was basically an ornament.

Inquiries came and went, but no useful information came out, but because it was too high-profile, it aroused the alarm of the Desik garrison, and finally one dark night, a group of Desik soldiers burst into the fur shop and arrested Gülen on the charge of wantonly probing the secrets of the nobles.

Green and Setie, stunned as they watched Gülen being taken away by the wolf-like guards, couldn't help at all, even if they were two of them, if they didn't have the permission of the diplomat, they would probably have become criminals.

So, Green, who had no choice, had to come to the mansion of Archduke Edward in person and pay an official visit.

"Captain Green, I've been fascinated for a long time!" "Archduke Edward in the mansion was not as sharp as he was in public, but like an ordinary middle-aged man, he was also very polite to Green, "I have always respected your Adventurers' Guild, and I have heard a lot of your stories before. ”

I don't know if it's really polite or fake polite, Green's attitude towards Archduke Edward in front of him is a little uncertain.

"Your Royal Highness, Honorable Duke!" Green saluted, and Grand Duke Edward hurriedly held him up, "You're welcome, you're welcome, come, let's sit down and talk." ”

Green was a little embarrassed to speak, his face turned red, and finally he couldn't help it, "Your Royal Highness, we didn't mean to inquire about your news, it's really that the matter on the West Bridge is too serious, thinking that you are the head of the Desik military, so..."

Green himself knew that his words were untenable, and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, but he didn't expect Archduke Edward to pursue it much, "It's okay, it's okay, your people can be brought back when you turn around, your adventurers' guild, after all, it's not a country, I'm not so stingy and treat your people as spies." ”

"Thank you so much!" Green hurriedly greeted, "Actually, the Westside Bridge incident..."

Before Green could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Archduke Edward, "It's okay, it's okay, I've received a detailed report, which was submitted by the battalion generals under the Western generals." ”

"Camp General Alvin?"

"Well, it seems to be called Alvin. I read the report, it's not your responsibility, these ****, yes, I call them ****, all day long, I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic and cause trouble everywhere. You adventurers' guild are also dutiful, don't worry, they won't embarrass you. ”

Green became more and more puzzled, and Archduke Edward's attitude was too strange, "Lord Duke, then, have you found out the identities of those people?"

Grand Duke Edward shook his head, "That battalion general has asked people to find the corpse on the spot, and I have already arranged for the Wasteland Samurai to take over the investigation." I also know your responsibility, but they are the murderers of the former crown prince, so we must be responsible!"

After a long and unnutritious conversation, Green finally left the mansion of the Grand Duke Edward. Before leaving, a Desic guard, leading Gülen, handed it to Green. Glenn is also a fortune teller, with a blue nose and swollen face, as if he has been beaten, especially the two front teeth, one and a half of which were broken, and he "buzzed" and leaked when he spoke, "Woo woo, Gran Dayin, you finally came to swish me!"

Green looked at Gülen guiltily, and was relieved to see that he was fine. So the two of them said goodbye to Archduke Edward, and rushed back to the residence of the Adventurer's Guild overnight, and in the fur shop, Setie was already waiting a little anxiously.

"How's it going?" asked Setie as soon as they met.

"Three words, old fox. "Grimby pulled out three fingers," basically means that he got the news and arranged it properly, and it has nothing to do with him. ”

Setie smiled, "Then sure, do you still admit that those assassins were sent by him! ”

"By the way, your people, how long will it take?" said Green.

"The news a few days ago has already reached the San Jose border, and it is estimated that it will be there in four or five days, and it will be almost there. Setie thought for a moment and said.

"By the way, Green, after you left, the diplomat sent a letter to you. Suddenly Setie remembered something, got up and picked up a letter from the table.

"Diplomat, what's the matter with him?" Green, confused, took the letterhead. On closer inspection, it is covered with the head of Steppenwolf, which indicates that it is an official diplomatic document. Green unwrapped the seal of the letterhead: "Dear Lord Green, I sincerely invite you to participate in the diplomatic ball organized in three days, we are all interested, and learn some stories about the adventurer's guild. ”

Seeing the content of the letterhead, Green couldn't help laughing, sure enough, nobles are nobles, and at such times, they don't forget to sing and have fun. Setie leaned over and looked at it, and sneered, "Didn't you say that the diplomat didn't like you very much, and the first time I went, I didn't even remember your name." ”

Green said depressedly, "yes, you don't want to see me." But these days, let's openly build relations with the nobles here, and send out gold coins and gifts in waves, and it's not for nothing. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Gülen for his contribution, without the support of a big businessman like him, we wouldn't have had so much money to sell. ”

"Shw, shw!" Glenn's front teeth were still showing the wind, making Green feel guilty.

"Then go!" said Setie with a nod.

"Well, the party, is there still a lack of a female companion?" Green looked at Setie, making the woman blush a little, but Glenn next to him asked inappropriately, "I still have a few good mink coats in my shop!

Setie didn't speak, she stretched out her hand and waved it in the air, only to see Gülen, suddenly helpless with her mouth, she didn't let go, her face turned red, her eyes showed a frightened look, and her mouth made a "woo woo" sound.

Grimm laughed, "Tell you to be obedient, next time, don't joke about the magician." ”

Setie stretched out her hand again, and before Green could react, a magical light flashed, and a puddle of clear water fell from the sky, and Green felt a familiar feeling, and he was doused unkempt. Strands of wet hair stuck to Green's scalp.

"Don't say a word!" said Settie, "Tomorrow morning, accompany me outside the city to meet our fellow court magicians, who are here as official San Jose diplomats!"

Green and Gülen nodded busily. Setie was finally kind enough to lift the magic among them, Glenn finally relieved himself, and the water on Green's head magically rose into the air, and his hair dried in an instant. But the moment he turned around, neither of them saw it, and Setie's cheeks were also crimson.
