Na stared at Melonory puzzled, "What do you mean by that?" 'Minter' T3 isn't it? ”

"I don't mean Minter, I mean—" Mallory paused, "I want you to come back, in Minna's name." After all, 'Minna' is the real person. ”

Minna looked away: "I don't think your words make sense. As early as the end of the war, I said that I had grown up and just wanted to live with my parents, and I didn't want to do dangerous things anymore, let alone drink water that would hurt my body. Mallory, I'm past that age. ”

"Not really." Melori was a little anxious, "I didn't plan to let you continue to disguise yourself on a mission, after all, you are now a member of the aristocratic class, and you are not suitable to do that kind of thing that requires you to hide your identity." I just want to... Please come to the Intelligence Bureau to help me. You're experienced, you're young, you're healthy, I'm old after all, and I don't know when I'm going to fall..."

Minna's eyes widened: "Intelligence Section?!" Why do you think that? I obviously don't have a smart mind, if you really need help, wouldn't Alex be a better fit?! "Seriously, Alex has a lot better brains than she does.

Alex coughed lightly and turned his head a little uncomfortably. Melonory sighed and glanced at him, "I had hoped that he would truly be our companion, but unfortunately he refused. ”

Hey? Did Mallory ever invite Alex? When was that? How did she not know?

Alex turned his head a little stiffly and said to her, "Actually, I'm not a good fit for the Security Service, I've thought about it in detail, you don't have to ask." ”

Minna looked at him suspiciously for a few times before turning to Mallory again: "What about the others?" There are still many young people who have worked in the department and left, right? In fact, the old staff is more reliable, if you look for me, you might as well find my father. ”

In fact, Anlong often assists the Northern Intelligence Division, and sometimes even takes the initiative to collect information and send it to them. Although he has left the Security Agency, he still considers himself a member.

Mallory sighed, "I thought about it too. It's a pity that he has been out of town for a long time. Lords again. Minna. Do you think His Majesty would allow a lord to become a security officer? ”

Minna was silent.

All the time. The Security Service is an important way for the children of commoners to rise to the aristocracy. As long as you make enough great contributions. And it can keep secrets. The Security Service will help its officers to obtain the title of lower nobility. Or let them into the military or other government agencies. Create opportunities for future advancements. But there aren't many civilian agents who can achieve their goals. It has been in operation for decades. There are only about thirty people. It's just that most of them remain at the grassroots level. And without exception. It is necessary to get rid of the Security Agency.

For example, Vasily. After becoming a knight. He is no longer a member of the Security Agency.

Like Anlong. Ability to jump directly to Viscount as a member of the Security Agency. And there are fiefdoms. It can be said that there are very few. This is still thanks to his great contribution in the Second Western War. Half of them are to be counted on the head of Minter, who is already "dead". And he is barely of aristocratic origin.

Thanks to the tragic battle of the final battle. There are very few heroes who can survive the lure enemy. The largest number of people is the city of Water. There are four in Easter alone. All knighted. Even Bevin, who has the most credit, is no exception. Since he himself is the heir to two families. He is also the vice-captain of the Royal Knights. So there is no dissatisfaction. Most of the dead landers were posthumously knighted as barons. Only Heddah's land, Etta, was given the title of Viscount.

It can be seen from this that Anlong's status is so special. The king made him a lord of the border region, both a trust and an expectation. He must never return to the Security Service.

Thinking of this, Minna also understood that she was thinking too naïvely, and hesitantly said to Meloni: "Actually... There are still a lot of people in the intelligence department, they are all very se, why don't you just choose a successor from among them? ”

Mallory smiled wryly, "Kid, you haven't been to the Security Agency for a long time, right?" Did you notice anything different here? ”

What's the difference? Isn't it what it used to be? The same hall, the same ...

Wait, who is that woman?

Minna's eyes widened, and she saw that there was a long table in front of the hall near the door, and a young and beautiful woman was sitting behind the table, holding a small hand mirror, carefully sorting out the makeup on her face, and smoothing her hair, seeing someone coming over, she quickly put down the hand mirror, and smiled: "Hello, what do you need?" ”

It was an old man in his fifties and sixties, hunched on his back and on crutches. He seemed to have some ears behind his ears, so he spoke very loudly: "I'm here to report the crime!" My neighbor's mason has suddenly become rich lately, and his wife has disappeared! I suspect he did something illegal to use the phone easily:. CN sorted out, and killed his wife again for the sake of secrecy! Tell someone to arrest him!" ”

The woman's smile froze, and she reached out and pulled a thick notebook from the side and pushed it in front of the old man: "Okay, I will respond as soon as possible." Please leave your name and address and we will contact you for more details. The old man was a little displeased, but he still took the pen she handed and wrote with difficulty, and the woman looked from side to side boredly.

Minna leaned closer to Mallory, "That seems to be Miss Mariana's sister in the secretary's room, isn't it?" "I remember when the sisters came together to apply, she also participated in the annual training in the department. The elder sister Mariana is not good-looking, but with her strong memory, she quickly became the head of the secretary's office, while the vase sister, who was nothing but beauty, was eliminated early. Minna couldn't understand why she had come to apply.

Melori replied in a whisper: "It turns out that everyone has their own merits. Miss Juliana has a friendly smile and is easy to relax. She did a good job when she joined the Outreach Office. ”

"Outreach Office?! Do you mean her?! "It's a place that requires excellent interpersonal skills, affinity, and meticulous observation, and requires employees to be physically and mentally skilled, so where does Juliana look like that?

Mallory spread her hands: "It's just a receptionist, she faces civilians, she only needs to be able to read and write, and put certain things in a specific position, that's it." She's still up to the task. ”

Minna was dumbfounded.

When the old man had finally finished, Juliana took back her notebook, took her pen and wrote something on it, and asked, "When are you usually at home?" We'll come over at a time that's convenient for you. ”

She was recording what the old man had said, when suddenly a hand reached out from behind her, and the pen was withdrawn from her hand, and the man turned around and inserted a bright red rose back into her hand. It was a handsome young man who pretended to be dashing, and he flicked his hair and looked at her

"Good morning, dear Juliana, you are still so beautiful today.

Juliana smiled and inserted the rose into the water bottle next to her: "Good morning, Mr. Filly, please return the pen to me." ”

"What are you doing early in the morning?" The young man named Fili pulled the notebook and glanced at it a few times, and said to the old man with a chuckle, "Old man, are you sure that your neighbor didn't win money from gambling, but his wife ran away with someone without him?" He threw down the notebook contemptuously: "This kind of trivial matter has to come dozens of times a day, if we send someone to find out everything, what else can our security department do?" ”

The old man blew his beard and glared angrily, and Juliana hurriedly said to him, "I have already made a note, you go back first, we will have someone to visit you soon." ”

The old man went angrily, and Philit approached Juliana and asked, "Are you free today?" Join me for a meal, right? I know of a restaurant that did a particularly good job of fish steaks. ”

"I'm sorry, but I don't like fish." Juliana was tidying up the table, and suddenly looked up and smiled brightly, "Good morning, Mr. Heda, would you like some coffee?" ”

"No, thank you!" A young man with an indifferent expression walked in from the gate, his pale skin, arrogant look, elegant and expensive clothes, and elegant and powerful steps, all showing his aristocratic status. He didn't even look at her, but glanced at Fili, who quickly put away his playful expression and slid away in the direction of the Liaison Office.

Minna stared at this young man, recognized his identity, and was extremely shocked in her heart, how could this person appear here?!

The young man walked straight to the back of the hall, and when he saw Mallory, he stopped and nodded slightly: "Good morning, Your Excellency Baron." He glanced at Minna, and without stopping, he slid directly to Alex, paused, and nodded slightly. Alex replied with the same courtesy.

"Good morning, Alborn, how was yesterday's information?" Melonory stepped forward unintentionally, covering Minna.

Alben said lightly: "It's ready, I'll send it to you right away." Then he went on.

When his back disappeared around the corner, Minna immediately grabbed Meloni's sleeve and whispered, "What's the matter?!" Why did the son of the Heddah family come to the Security Department?! Don't tell me he's in the department! And, what's going on with that dude?! ”

Mallory smiled bitterly: "No way, since the end of the war, the nobles have asked the Security Agency to increase transparency. Because the Security Service is usually too secretive, but when something big happens, we have absolute command over the military and government agencies. They felt that this was inappropriate, and that in order to dispel public suspicion, the Security Service should make itself known to more people. ”

"So what? The department obediently let these people in? Doesn't Will have an opinion? What about others? ”

"That's what the king meant, too." Mallory sighed, "Let the Security Agency truly become a part of the government agency, and eliminate the bad impression of others, but also to ensure that the Security Agency can survive for a long time..."

Minna let go of her hand and looked at Juliana, who was smiling enchantingly at the front desk, and Filly, who was poking her brain at the door of the office of the Liaison Office, and the strange agent who walked through the door in a gorgeous costume, and suddenly felt that this was no longer the security department she was familiar with.

She said sullenly: "Although your words are also reasonable, but if it is open to the public and let those nobles in, how can we keep it secret and carry out the mission?" ”

"That's why I need your help." "In fact, the staff of the department is divided into two parts, public and private. They can do whatever they like in the open part, as long as they don't violate the rules of the Security Service, but all covert operations are still carried out in the shadows. The list of personnel is also top secret. I needed someone who was experienced, familiar with the affairs of the agency, and not known to the outside world. Minna, your name is still on the freeze list, ready to come back. Just help me take care of your past companions for the time being, I don't know when I'm going to fall. ”

Minna looked at his all-white hair, increasingly thin body, and slightly trembling hands, and suddenly felt sour: "You are a person, you really can even use yourself..." I'm going to ask Mom and Dad first, and... Even if I really agreed, I wouldn't do it for the rest of my life! ”

Melori's eyes softened: "Of course, my child..."

Minna pulled Alex and fled, she couldn't help but scold herself, why was she soft-hearted? Didn't you say that you would never go back?

Turning her head to look at her friend, who was also silent, she pushed him: "The Security Department invited you to go, why didn't you agree?" Obviously, you are better suited to work in the intelligence department. "He's as cunning as Mallory!

Alex smiled wryly: "Minna, this is impossible, think about my origin, think about my family." ”

Minna stopped: "Do you mean that your father supports the second prince?" That's a problem, and the people in the Security Service are absolutely on the king's side. ”

Alex didn't answer, just said, "Aren't you tired?" I haven't slept all night, so hurry up and go back to rest, right? ”

Minna felt sleepy, yawned, and left all her worries behind her, and went home first.

It is only a short walk from the Security Department back to the Rose Garden, and then through the woods. Saying goodbye to Alex, Minna walked into the house, Winnie and the others were preparing for breakfast in the dining room, and when they saw her, they greeted her: "What happened last night?" At dawn a few people came, saying they were from the Security Service. ”

Minna nodded sadly: "Yes, something happened, and they will come back later." Leave them alone, do whatever you have to do. ”

Jenny screamed, hugged Marcy and shouted, "O God of Light! They really are the guys of the Security Service! Auntie, why didn't you wake me up?! ”

Marcie smiled, "Minna said they would come again, just watch it then!" ”

"Oh my God, I've got to take a good look, I've heard that the Security Agency is heroes! Who's going to be there later? Could it be a war hero?! ”

Winnie glanced at her, "What's so strange about this?" I've seen a lot of them in Maiton, and my former acquaintances also work in the Security Service. ”

"Really? Oh, Winnie, tell me what they did? Jenny immediately approached Winnie and asked questions, and her uncle and brothers listened with great interest. Winnie sat down proudly on the couch and told them a few things she had heard from Dora and Minna, and by the way, pulled up a little bit of Veronica's news, which surprised the young men, and the Marcy siblings clenched their fists nervously.

Minna yawned, went upstairs to her room, fell into bed, and fell asleep.
