“……”

Holding her little bear, Anne squatted in front of the she-sheep like that, blinking her big cute eyes, looking at the fat sheep that pretended to be pitiful but looked delicious, staring at each other silently.

And at this time, in the distance, it was a certain arcane archmage Kom who was holding his staff, his head down, and he didn't dare to take a breath or make any small movements! Just now, this guy who saw the wind and steered the rudder raised his hand and surrendered very spinelessly before little Anne had time to say what to do with him!

Moreover, the guy kept saying that he was originally a mage of Dalaran, and he had long thought about abandoning the darkness and returning to the arms of Lordaeron......

Anyway, that's probably what happened! It's just that if that guy surrenders or not, Anne doesn't want to care about him!

Because compared to dealing with a certain monster, she now has more important things:

"You look really delicious...... Please, can I eat you? ”

Anne now may really think so!

Sheep or something, whether it's sheep or goats, if they are fattened, they must be eaten...... And the one in front of me, which looks fat, is still very cute? Well, it's supposed to be going to be eaten, right?

"Baa Baa ......"

But the sheep shook his head and nodded with tears in his eyes, and spun around in such a hurry that he seemed to want to say something but could not say anything!

In any case, the other party is just a sheep now, and no matter how smart a sheep is, it is impossible to speak human words...... So, cartoons and whatever, it's all about deception!

"Alright, alright...... It's really pitiful to see you like this, so I won't tease you. ”

Seeing the appearance of the other party, who was about to cry, Anne finally couldn't help but laugh first.

Then, she first smiled and reached out to continue rubbing the other party's little head full of soft hairs for a while, and then she stretched out a small bright index finger with satisfaction and gently nodded at the other person's head.

In the next second, I don't know what kind of spell Anne used, and a fierce and dazzling blue light lit up on the sheep's body! Soon, Anne saw a beautiful big sister in a mage's robe, lying on her stomach on the ground covered with dead grass and ashes.

"Woo...... Your Majesty, you're back! ”

After recovering, Lana, who was the lady-in-waiting of the Queen of the Flame Kingdom, didn't care about anything else, just knelt on the burning black and gray grass, directly hugged Anne's legs and whimpered loudly.

Although Lana had always had a hunch that Her Majesty the Queen of their Flame Kingdom would return one day, who would have thought that almost six years had passed since this difference......

Thinking about the empty queen's palace over the years, Lana couldn't help but hug each other's legs tightly again, for fear that their queen majesty would sneak away again if she wasn't paying attention! Without the Queen's Flame Kingdom, it wouldn't look like a kingdom at all! And she, the queen's maid, usually doesn't know who to serve, so she didn't get fired!

"Wow! Sister Lana, you've grown so big, and you still have to learn how to cry your nose!? ”

Seeing that the other party was crying and complaining, and at the same time was about to rub tears and snot on her skirt, Anne was in a hurry, so she quickly stretched out her hand, pushed the other party's head away, and then jumped to the side with the corner of her skirt.

Crying or not, Anne doesn't care!

However, if you want to rub a handful of tears and snot on your body, it is not right! Let those who don't know see it, maybe they think that she Anne herself is not hygienic!

"Baaa! Baaa!? ”

At this moment, another fat sheep, which was neighing rapidly, rushed to Anne's side with its comical steps, and almost hit her.

"Huh? I forgot there's another one here! So, can you be eaten by me? You see, there's a campfire here! ”

If you can't eat Lana...... So, try roasting this guy you don't know here, that's always okay, right? I don't know if I can eat it, but if I don't try it, I'll never know!

Anne's Amorim mother told her: only practice is the only criterion for testing the truth!

"Nope! Your Majesty, he is my brother Pete, he is not a sheep and must not be eaten!! ”

Hearing that a certain little girl still wanted to eat a sheep, Lana was so frightened that she quickly got up, rushed forward two steps directly, and hugged the sheep that her brother had become.

She knew that Her Majesty the Queen of their Flame Kingdom might actually try it when she said she wanted to eat it! A few years ago, the other party went to the mountains to hunt or go to the sea to fish! As long as it is those non-intelligent creatures, no matter what they look like, no matter how fierce they are, even those demon tyrannosaurus or great white sharks, they have all been captured and eaten.

"It's your brother? Oh yes...... I remember it was like there was a skinny guy back then......"

"Okay...... Then let's stop eating it......"

Smacking her lips in regret, Anne could only turn to look at the archmage who had surrendered without fighting her. And then the assassins who hid in the shadows, of course?

"I don't have to play...... All of those guys ran out? ”

————

Stormwind, north of the Cathedral of Light in the middle of the city, is a small house with a fine courtyard near the lake in the city, where a kind old man named Kanya lives and, of course, several servants who take care of her.

It is said that this is an old man from a noble family in Stormwind City, and the other party lives here just to be able to enjoy his old age and enjoy a quiet life, so he doesn't want too many people to disturb him? In addition, the guards of the city often drove away those who were too close to the innocuous idlers, so over time, the residents of Stormwind City knew that such a quiet and remote place in the city was indeed inhabited by such an old woman.

However, what the residents of Stormwind didn't know was that she was such a kind-looking old man, and she was once unusual...... Behind her faltering figure is an untold collection of bloody carnage and endless horror......

Because, her real name is Pasonia Shore! It's a name that doesn't stand out, and not many people know it, but if you talk about the Stormwind City Assassins or MI7, many people can't help but have a chill in their necks! And she, the founder of MI7 now!

That's right, the woman who created the boundless killing and horror is still alive and well, and she lives in the Lake District behind the Cathedral of Light.

Tonight, however, the tranquility of this delicate hut built by the lake that had not been disturbed for a long time was shattered by a human woman of about forty years of age with a tense face and a somewhat pale complexion......

At this moment, the woman was clutching a parchment envelope tightly in her hand, and then banged vigorously on the wooden gate of the small courtyard.

Tuk Tuk! Tuk tuk!

This woman knocks hard and firmly! If the owner here doesn't open this wooden door, she will definitely not leave!

"Alas......"

A soft sigh came from the small house, making the woman who was knocking on the door of the courtyard finally stop, and then, a dim light began to light up in the house, directly penetrating those and the windows, so that people outside could see a rickety old man through the light.

Ezio...... Haven't I told you so many times before? Don't bother me at night...... You know, even the maids were driven home by me at night...... I don't like it when someone is in front of my eyes at this time! ”

"The night is enchanting, and you can't let me enjoy it alone?"

Finally, in the dim darkness of the night, an old man who looked a little thin and a little hunched on his back trembled and carried a wind lamp, opened the wooden door of the house, and slowly walked to the courtyard gate.

After carefully taking a look at the figure outside the courtyard gate and confirming its identity, she muttered, and impatiently opened the gate of the courtyard.

"Tell me, what is there that is worth your choice to bother me at this time?!"

Hanging the wind lantern on the wooden door so casually, the old man with a short cane glared at the woman standing outside the door with dissatisfaction. Judging by the posture with which she stood in the middle of them, not ready to give way, it seemed that she did not intend to let the other enter the door, nor did she intend to welcome the other into her little house.

“……”

The middle-aged woman first looked up at the old man's complexion with a little bit of a speech, and only after seeing that the other party still had that very dissatisfied expression and looked healthy, did she lower her head and think about it a little...... When finally, she didn't say anything, except to look up with difficulty and show the parchment envelope she was clutching tightly in her left hand.

"Oh...... MI7 emergency intelligence at the highest level?! ”

Although Pasonia Shore looked like she was already an old man, she could still see at a glance what it was and what it represented from a special red signal in the corner of the parchment envelope.

After all, the intelligence grading and priority system of MI7 was formulated by her own hands. And those organizational frameworks and operating models have proven to be flawless, and they have been continued to be used and operated by the little Matthias who had tried to change in vain.

"Ezio...... You know, I'm retired now and don't want to worry about that anymore......"

"So, no matter how urgent it is, you shouldn't come to me...... Perhaps, you can go to that grandson of mine yourself? Not...... No, since you're looking for me, he's definitely not in Stormwind, right? Well, you can go to the nominal nobles of the Seven Places, so that they don't always say that the old woman is nepotistic, and leave all the rights to Madias instead of giving them some? ”

After saying that, Pasonia Shore sighed deeply, then shook her head, picked up the wind lantern hanging on the door of the wooden temple, and planned to close the door directly.

She had already said that she was retired and didn't want to worry about things anymore, but these people always bothered her. Moreover, Matthias is in his thirties, which is not too small, why don't they hide from him and let him go through the experience?

Besides, she doesn't have many years to live...... This has been tiring for most of her life, whether it is the pleasure of killing, the temptation of power, or even money or men, she has enjoyed it all, and now she has gradually seen through everything......

But now, why do these people always like to bother themselves with mundane things? She's been hiding here for years, but she wants to keep enjoying it!

"Sorry, teacher......"

"The student still insists that you must see this information transmitted back by magic through a special channel for the first time, and I am sure about that!"

When Pasonia Shore began to chase people away and was about to close the gate of the courtyard and go back to sleep, the middle-aged woman named Ezio, who seemed to be Pasonia's student, directly stretched out her empty hand and grabbed the wooden door, and then respectfully handed over the highest-level emergency information again.

"Are you sure? Well......"

After looking up and looking into the other party's eyes for a while, through the light in the darkness, it seemed to understand the other party's determined attitude, Pasonia Shore frowned slightly, and reached out to take the envelope in the other party's hand.

When she turned the two sides of the envelope and looked closer to the wind lamp for a while, and found that the envelope was all blank, she thought about it, but after all, she still didn't open it herself.

"I'm getting old, and my eyes aren't very good now...... Forget it, you can tell me about it yourself. ”

"Let me tell you first, you know, I haven't been out of Stormwind for years, but I may not be able to help you......"

Shaking her head and stuffing the envelope back into her arms, Pasonia Shore couldn't help but sigh again.

Why can't these guys let themselves live in peace for a few years? She hadn't touched any of these things in years now, and if she intervened this time, I'm afraid...... Soon after, those guys who have been staring at her will definitely spread some rumors, such as that they are in love with power and are reluctant to let go or manipulate behind the scenes.

“……”

Looking at the letter in her arms, MI7 agent, the female assassin Ezio looked at the old man again for a moment, then nodded, opened the letter in her hand, and took out the top-secret letter that she already knew the contents of.

There was not much content in the letter, just a piece of parchment the size of a palm, and Ezio only glanced at it slightly, and read the contents:

"Urgent information: MI7 chief Matthias Shore...... Tonight, while hunting down the remnants of the Brotherhood of New Diphia in the western wilderness, in the northwest of the Dumont wilderness, he was hit by a spell cast by an enemy mage, and died heroically on the spot! In this battle, MI7 intelligence agents were 108 people, 82 were killed, 8 were wounded, 17 escaped, and one was missing...... Another: Arcane Archmage Kom saw that the situation was not good, and he has defected to the enemy on the spot......"

Smack!

At this time, the wind lantern in Pasonia Shore's hand fell directly on the bluestone floor in front of the gate, and then, under the ignition of those lamp oil fuel and wick sparks, a half-human-high flame rose on the spot! While the fire shone on Ezio's dull and pale face, it also allowed her to see Pasonia Shore's hideous and terrifying wrinkled old face.

"Are you all pieces of waste?!"

With Pasonia's roar, a short blade glowing with a dark green poisonous light clung to Ezio's neck at some point! And the old man who was trembling and towering, but at this time he was as strong as a female lynx, where was the vicissitudes of life when half of his body was about to enter the ground?

"I'm sorry, teacher...... I've been on standby in Stormwind, so if you think I'm guilty, do it......"

Ezio didn't resist, not even with much expression on his face, let alone panic or fear, still with that dull and miserable face, and not even much in his ruthless eyes.

It seems that what the other party is threatening is not her life at all.

"Say, give me a reason not to kill you shit!"

Pasonia Shore's hand holding the dagger was steady, but ...... At this time, her chest was rising and falling violently, and it was clear that her current mood was not as calm as her face appeared.

"According to another piece of secondary information that has not yet been verified, it has been conveyed at the same time: that little girl from the Flame Kingdom, that Flame Queen, she is back...... It was precisely because of her appearance that it led to the treason of that archmage Com! ”

"Moreover, we sent someone to his house to check before, and his relatives are gone! According to those servants, earlier, after the other party teleported back and packed some belongings, they all teleported away together, and their whereabouts are unknown for the time being! ”

After stuffing the information in his hand back into the envelope and putting it away, Ezio looked at the old man so flatly, and did not resist, just waiting for the other party's disposal.

“……”

"King Varian, do they know? What's the reaction? ”

Finally, after staring at her student for a long time, Pasonia Shore slowly withdrew the dagger, and then, without seeing where she had hidden it, she turned back and walked out of the house, walking step by step to the calm shore of the lake not far from her house.

The night here is quiet...... The white beauty and the slanting moon hung in the sky, adding a sense of tranquility and serenity to the Stormwind City, but what the old man's mood was, Ezio had no way of knowing.

"His Majesty King Varian Ureon already knows that they should be in urgent discussions with Duke Berval and the others...... But as you know, they won't be able to get results anytime soon. ”

The middle-aged female assassin followed the old man to the shore of the lake, and then stood behind the other and replied in a low voice. Now the other party is definitely not in a good mood, so she didn't do much except wait carefully for the Q&A.

“……”

"Did Madias's body be snatched?"

There was silence for a while, and when Pasonia Shore saw the high top of the Cathedral of Light in the distance, finally, not knowing what she had in mind, she asked in a deep voice.

"It's been snatched back, and it's on its way back to Stormwind...... However, according to the information of our priest, the soul of the leader of Madias is missing, and even if it is returned, it will not be able to be resurrected......"

What Ezio didn't know was that Matthias had been killed by the Unforgivable Curse Avada, and his soul had been sucked into Lana's wand, and if he couldn't find his soul, let alone be resurrected, even if he threw it into the pool of the Plague of the Undead, it would be useless!

Bang!!

There was a muffled thud in Ezio's chest, and she was kicked out by the old man.

“……”

However, she soon got up again and fell to one knee clutching her chest. She knew that her teacher, Mistress Pasonia, had finished punishing her, and that the other party was not angry with her over the matter.

"Was that little girl the one who killed him?"

Pasonia Shore turned her head back to look at the deep lake and the night sky, and the tone of her voice sent chills down Ezio's body.

"Nope! It is said that the perpetrator was another young witch, whose name is unknown for the time being, and it is only known that the other person is closely related to Vanessa Van Cleeff of the New Defia Brotherhood and was involved in the assassination of Duke Greg Leskova......"

Before coming, Ezio, who had read all the information and was prepared, calmly said everything he knew.

"From now on, I take over MI7! You have one month to find all the information about that woman! ”

And then ...... All the guys who followed Madias out were disposed of, including the missing one! ”

A tone full of blood and ice came out of the old man's mouth, and finally, one of the characters who had terrified the enemies of the Stormwind Kingdom, Pasonia Shore, the terrifying woman who had built the Stormwind Assassins and developed them into MI7, made a comeback......

"Understood! Students, let's arrange it! ”

After waiting for a while, and finding that the old man had no more instructions, Ezio did not say a word, and soon disappeared into the night.
