Although he acted quickly and decisively against the enemy, this was indeed Nora's first "killing". Even though she had run two blocks away, her hands were still shaking, and her face was even more pale like a vampire. After running like this for five or six minutes, she barely calmed down when she returned to the intelligence relay point according to the established route.

"Be calm, be calm..."

She recalled the words of Sodrol when she talked about "killing" with herself - that guy always said that when he became a soldier, he should treat people with the same attitude as he did when he killed pigs, there was not so much reason, and there was no need to feel guilty, the only thing he had to do was adapt.

"Adapt... Yes, I had to get used to it. ”

I had thought that the intelligence system might be far away from killing, but Nora didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing on her first mission. To say that with her skills, it is not difficult to escape directly. But as an intelligence officer, she is well aware of the risk of not allowing her identity to be leaked, and for all such unexpected incidents, she is trained to "cut the grass and eradicate the roots", and there is no room for it.

Ensuring that the task is free of surprises is a prerequisite for all actions.

She rubbed her cheeks vigorously twice, and then used her shapeshifting abilities to transform her appearance into that of a normal human. After calming his breath, he walked into a nondescript grocery store on the side of the street.

"Need something?"

"I want to see Parling's specialty, the more expensive the better. ”

The guy in the store looked up at her and replied, "I'm sorry, we don't sell Par Collar here." ”

"Then I'll pay a deposit to book some. ”

Nora took out a silver coin and handed it over, the latter took it and placed it on an inconspicuous circle under the counter, and when the slight vibration disappeared, he confirmed Nora's identity and nodded, "No problem, what is there to decide?"

That's the catch. Nora handed over all the information she had gathered today, and the guy took it without saying a word, and then whispered, "Good luck with the danger here." ”

She smiled and turned to leave the grocery store.

As a field worker, Nora came here with a very well-disguised identity, and as a maid in Baron Vitley's house outside the city, she had to return to the manor before dark.

However, not long after she walked out of the grocery store, Nora noticed a man dressed as a farmer walking side by side beside her, and whispered, "I love mufflen cheese." ”

"I've heard that thing smells like rotten salted fish. ”

The endless conversation was a code, and apparently the farmer was also a CIA agent, and Nora turned her head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Jonathan, the first local field staff. The farmer replied, looking ahead. But Nora didn't reply, because she remembered the code of conduct in the field: if there is no mission in the same area, contact between field personnel is strictly prohibited.

"You must be thinking that this is not allowed by the rules, right? Actually, our first batch of people thought so at first, but now? They are dead, wounded, and they don't even have anyone to help them when they are in trouble..."

Jonathan walked more than ten meters side by side, looked at Nora who was a little hesitant on his face, and said in a low voice: "Seeing that you are only twenty years old like this, are you really willing to do such a dangerous thing at such a young age?"

Nora nodded, but hesitated.

"Ha, of course we have to be loyal to Ivta, what I said just now is just emotion, don't think too much. Jonathan said as he turned in the other direction: "Hogg's Bar in three days, if you have time, I can treat you to a drink in the evening." ”

With that, he went down another path, leaving Nora alone in a daze.

When the other person's figure disappeared, Nora's confused expression was quickly replaced by caution. The first thing that came to her mind was what she had learned during her training - because the foundation of the "intelligence agency" was established in the Parr Consulate Firm, many of the field agents in various regions were from "wild roads" and had not received professional training in Elson City.

This Jonathan is clearly a case in point. If he'd ever been in Elson, he'd know how horrific a guy like Nora's most rigorous training has endured - and apparently unaware that the village girl he had just spoken to was the strongest and most loyal agent in the current intelligence system.

So Nora, sensing the anomaly, turned into an alley after continuing to walk a few streets, and then... and disappeared into the shadows.

May 5th.

It was the seventeenth birthday of Charles II's second daughter. In the past, this kind of thing was celebrated behind closed doors in the palace, but this year it was different - the Red Dragon Lord Quiao agreed to Charles II's "marriage" proposal, so that Iskar, the strongest of the young generation of the Red Dragon Clan, was engaged to Charles II's young and beautiful daughter Rowling, and the wedding date was set for November this year.

Because Charles II and Quiao believed that the war was basically coming to an end, marriage would help the two sides to work better together.

The engagement, the first of its kind for dragons and humans, inevitably caused an uproar throughout the kingdom.

The Royal Journal advertised this in all directions, and almost the entire page was occupied by information about Iskar and Princess Rowling, although the public was tired of reading it later. But when it came to talking about it at the wine table and dinner, everyone still couldn't avoid this topic.

The engagement actually caused a lot of turmoil within the dragon clan, and Iskar didn't say it if he wanted to - for the arrogant dragon clan, being suddenly promised a human wife is like the son of a powerful grand duke being promised a mason's daughter... How could he be happy?

If anyone in the dragon clan is really willing to marry humans, the red dragon clan, who has always looked down on humans, is definitely the last one in line. But after Quiao did this, several lords of the other dragon clans felt an invisible pressure... Because they all saw Quevo's determination and ambition in this regard.

And Charles II, who was on the side of "Gao Pan", was indeed complacent at this time. The birthday party held in the palace cost a lot of money, and the invited guests exchanged all kinds of blessings, and everyone was lively all day until midnight.

The messy banquet hall was being cleaned by the servants, and no matter how good Charles II was, he was a little drunk after drinking for a long time. When he returned to the study, he found his daughter, Rowling, already standing in the room.

"Father. ”

Rowling has been very obedient to her father since she was a child, in fact, as a princess, she has long expected the fate of her "marriage", but now she didn't expect her husband to be a dragon - this kind of thing sounds very good, but as a party, her anxiety cannot be concealed.

"Haven't you gone to rest yet? Rowling, I know... It's not fair to you, but Lord Quay is a proud dragon, and he won't let Iskar bully you. ”

Charles II sat down in an armchair with his daughter's support, and he leaned back, his eyes slightly swollen from drunkenness. When he mentioned the dragon clan, his eyes flashed with a different emotion: "This is the opportunity of the Karen Kingdom, and I, as the monarch, must seize it..."

"I—I understand your painstaking efforts, Father. ”

Rowling wanted to tell her heart like she had done before, but seeing that her father had such a deep obsession with the unified kingdom, she finally swallowed it back.

"Rowling, help me get the map. ”

Charles II beckoned, and his daughter obediently spread the one-meter-long scroll on the table in front of him. With the strength of wine, Charles II inexplicably felt a sense of pride in the map in front of him, which he had seen countless times. As a daughter, Rowling was in a bad mood, but she knew that she should make her father happy at this time, so she asked in a low voice, "Next, are we going to attack?"

"The army was almost ready, and with an army of more than 40,000 men, it would not be a problem to take the temple. ”
