Volume 3 The Walker in the Dark One Hundred and Two, Reinforcements (II)

Freedo turned his head uncomfortably: "What's so strange?!" ”

Minna no longer dwelled on this issue, and said, "Their eldest son, Esparo, is the culprit who caused my father's serious injury!" He actually escaped! How could I let him go?! So I chased him all the way and saw him enter the entertainment oasis with my own eyes."

Frido was taken aback when he heard this: "Really?! This thing... Ziya shouldn't know, with the grudge between the Head family and Count Xiao, it is impossible for her to receive the earl's enemies in her own place! ”

This time it was Minna's turn to be surprised: "Why do you say that?" ”

"She has been calling herself the widow of Count Xiao for the past few years, and she regards all the people who have offended the Count as enemies, and her style of doing things has also changed a lot, and the Heda family originally had some industries here, and she was forced to be unable to operate, and they were all closed, if she knew that it was the eldest son of the Heda family, it would be good if she didn't ask someone to cut him a few times, how could she invite him to be a guest?"

Minna pondered for a moment and said, "Even if this is the case, I don't want to confess the matter to her, I tell you honestly, there is a force behind Esparo, and that force is closely related to Lady Ziya, I just want to find out the person behind Esparo, and then arrest him back, so as not to alarm others."

Frydo leaned back in his chair and looked relaxed: "Oh? So you want me to enter the entertainment oasis and want to take the opportunity to investigate? Let me tell you, people don't just do it, and if something goes wrong, I'm responsible, knowing that you have other intentions there, so why should I help you? Lady Ziya is my ally, and you... It's not even my friend, and now that Count Xiao is gone, I don't need to be afraid of you."

Minna folded, knowing in her heart that it was also very troublesome for this friend to make trouble, and wanted him to agree to his request, in addition to telling the facts and discussing, he also had to play some tricks, and she smiled: "Frido, you said that Lady Ziya is your ally, really?" Why do I feel... Are you more like her servant? ”

Frido's face sank: "Be careful what you say, you're not a child anymore!" ”

"Just because I'm no longer a child, I can see a lot of things," Minna stretched her hands and feet, and said nonchalantly, "Just now outside, I saw a man who was very rude to your clerk, and I heard that he was Mrs. Ziya's guard?" Even you want to give him a few points? But he looks like he was sent to deliver letters, not like a valued subordinate, but he dares to shout at the people in your shop, and complains that you have been writing letters for a long time, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't take you seriously, Mrs. Ziya sent this kind of person to deliver letters to you, does he really regard you as a real ally? ”

The more Frido listened, the more ugly his face became, but he didn't deny it, and Minna added to the fire when she saw this: "I see that your shop has been renovated and is more beautiful than before, and there are many more clerks, but why are the waitresses in the wine place getting older?" When I came here before, I clearly remember that the girls here are all young and beautiful, even during the day, there are many guests who come, and now it's night, and there are only four or five tables of people sitting outside, which is not as lively as before, but I have just been to the entertainment oasis in the past two days, and the bar business there is very good, I heard that many waitresses are bartenders who have been dug from the Monli, and they are also in the intelligence business, isn't this your old business? Lady Ziya is not very kind to do this, right? ”

"Enough!" Frido stopped her, "Minna, you used to be a pure and kind child, and this is not the place for you to say!" ”

Minna lunged in front of him: "What do you mean not to say?" Freedo, you are smart and capable, I have never seen anyone more knowledgeable than you when I am so old, but those people look down on you and don't know what is precious about you, I am your friend and I am sorry for you, why are you stopping me?! ”

Freedo stared at Minna and said fiercely, "Friend? If you were a child, I might believe it, but you just said these words on purpose, right? Do you hesitate to use four means to achieve your goals? You dare to say that you are my friend when you do this?! ”

"Why don't you dare?" Minna raised her head: "If these words are fabricated by me to hurt you, I am not worthy of being your friend, but you dare to say these things are not true?" If it's true, why can't I say it? True friendship will not change because of other people's provocations, and false friendship will be debunked by the truth! ”

Frido's breathing was short, his eyes became more and more fierce, Minna saw this, and slowed down her tone slightly: "Don't be angry, Frydo, even if I said these words on purpose, I will ask for neither you nor Lady Ziya - as long as she is not in the same group as my family's enemies, I just want to enter the entertainment oasis to find someone to investigate, but I don't want to deal with Lady Ziya, at least I don't want to go as a real person!" She's my grandfather's mistress in the past, and when I face her, I'll think of my grandmother who is so miserable," she grabbed Friedo's hand: "Please, do you really refuse to help me?" ”

Freedo shook off her hand and sat down in his chair again, calming down and returning to his lazy expression: "What good do I have to help you?" Know that I never trade at a loss."

Minna folded: "Freedo, you don't seem to be short of money"

"It's not lacking, but I can't help you for nothing just because I'm not short of money, right? Don't say anything about friends, I'm the same for all my friends now, the transaction is okay, help avoid talking about it, otherwise something will happen, and I will be scolded instead! ”

It sounds like he's suffered a loss because of this, Minna thought for a moment and said, "I don't have much money, but I have some gems and magic leaves, and there's nothing else I can do to help you, but... I think you might want more power, and I'm not from Weisha, so I can't give you this, if it's in East, it's different" After a pause, she gave a high-five: "That's right! Come back with me, Freedo! That's what we need like you! "Ms. Leah has complained more than once that there are not enough teachers in charge of training in the department

Frido dragged out his voice: "You-you——? Why do I think you're missing something important that you haven't explained? He didn't believe that himself, as an intelligence dealer, would be the right person to be a tutor for a noble lady, even though she wasn't a young lady now

Minna glanced at him and immediately surrendered: "Okay, okay, I'll be honest, I'll be honest now, I occasionally help the Security Agency with some small tasks, you buy and sell information, you must know what kind of place it is" She approached Friedo: "The department has to train new and old employees every year, they need to teach teachers in various dialects, local customs, and all walks of life, but it is not easy to find all that many teachers, in order to invite knowledgeable people, the department is even willing to apply for the title of nobility for them!" Even so, you can't always recruit good land, and if you go, you can solve the problem right away! The people of Wisha don't know how good you are, but you'll be respected in Ito! ”

Freedo paused, didn't speak, and after a long moment suddenly smiled: "Are you kidding me?" Minna, I'm from Weisha, and it's impossible for any national intelligence agency to really trust a foreigner."

"You're going to be a teacher, not a spy, why don't you believe you?" Minna disagreed, "This kind of work will not be exposed to any secrets, otherwise we will not recruit people from outside, we have several foreign teachers" and then she lowered her voice: "What's more, are you really from Weisha?" I remember you were born and raised in Monri, and this is not the territory of Wisha! "Actually, it's a three-way region, and all three countries have absolute influence here, but none of them have been able to set up a government agency here

Frido tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and after a long time, he said: "Forget it, all my property and business friends are here, I left, and I have to start over, so let's stay" He smiled at Minna: "But thank you for your kindness, if I need it in the future, I will go to your land"

Minna nodded with some regret: "Okay, in fact, it's the same intelligence work, and it's much better than here in the Security Agency," she took out a few vials from the ring and handed them to Freedo, who asked curiously, "What is this?" "Demon Leaf" Minna showed him a bottle, "This is the general poison of the detoxification place, as long as it is not an immediate death, it can be solved by replenishing physical strength, your body is not strong enough, this can help you, a total of three bottles, one bottle for three days, after drinking for nine days, your strength can be as great as an ordinary person"

A hint of ecstasy flashed in Frido's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it: "Why give me this?" ”

"It's the reward," Minna smiled, "didn't you say you wouldn't trade at a loss?" These are all good things, and money may not be able to buy them."

Frido nodded very solemnly, put the bag away, and when he sat down again, he stared at the ring around Minna's neck with some curiosity, he seemed to see just now, she took something from here?

Minna hurriedly stuffed the ring back into her collar: "This is a storage ring, made by the alchemy master of Shaonan, I can't give it to you but I know someone who can do it, now Shaonan is forbidden to buy and sell this, if you really want it, I can help you ask, but you have to pay for the materials"

A gleam flashed in Frido's eyes, and he asked with a smile, "When do you plan to enter the entertainment oasis?" If it's the way it is now, I have a few suggestions, how about you listen to it? ”

Two hours later

Minna looked at herself in the mirror again, and almost couldn't recognize it, in fact, Freedo didn't make up her juvenile appearance much, just taught her a few men's movements, postures and speaking habits, and then let her change her expression, pretending to be silent, her eyes were gloomy, and the whole person's temperament was completely different

Frido made up a whole story for her, told her a few dialect habits, and fiddled with the accessories of her clothes, and she looked like a boy's street fresh out of the countryside southwest of Wisha

In the end, Frido also said: "You are already pretending to be like this, ordinary people will never be suspicious, but Ziya is very good at looking at men, you pretend to be like it, you are still a girl in your bones, I advise you, if you want to hide Ziya, it is best to treat yourself as a boy from now on, forget all girls' speech habits, and even ways of thinking, and face others as men"

Minna replied solemnly: "You're right, I'll forget that I'm Minna for a while, I'm a teenager now."

Freedo looked up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, it's not early today, you go back first, come back early tomorrow morning, I'll take you over" paused, and added: "Find a way to get some taste for yourself, male and female body odor is different"

Minna, no, it's Minte now nodded solemnly, and walked out of the room, Frido saw him off, and met the middle-aged clerk who had led him in before on the way, respectfully avoided the side, and looked at Minte with fear in his eyes Frido was a little curious: "Why is he looking at you like this?" ”

The corners of Minte's mouth curved slightly: "It's nothing, he put a little murderous aura when he came in, he was probably scared"

"Murderous?" Frido was stunned

Minte folded: "Yes, I'm also a master now, it's normal to have a murderous aura" Seeing that Freedo's face was red and white for a while, Minte couldn't help but laugh: "What are you afraid of?" I won't do anything to you, old friend! He patted Frido's shoulder, amusedly to see that his muscles were stiff

Back at the boot shop at the intelligence station, the brothers almost took him for a guest, saying that the shop was closed and would come back tomorrow, Mint angrily and amusefully told them to take a closer look, only to find that this colleague Luma, who had gone out in the afternoon, was amazed at the effect of his makeup, and learned that it was Frido's help, so he said: "If we can confirm that he is reliable, it would be good to get him back to our office, this is a talent"

Minter smiled: "I've already asked him, he's a little excited, but I'm still reluctant to see if there is a chance in the future."

Luma nodded, and then asked, "Are you boiling the devil?" What for? ”

"Just adding a bit of a masculine flavor," Minter carefully poured the freshly boiled juice into the crystal bowl, blew it, and drank it in small sips

The taste is not very good, but after drinking this, his body will exude a almost unpleasant smell of sweat, making him more like a man, because he is afraid that the body odor is too heavy, which will not be conducive to secret action, he only drank a few sips and woke up, and the effect was immediate

Early in the morning, he went to find Frido, and the two of them rode together to the oasis of entertainment, and asked to see Mrs. Ziya

Minter quietly looked at the surrounding situation all the way, the guards were indeed tight, there was a person standing guard every ten meters, just from the entrance of the main tent area to the front of the main tent in this short distance of less than 100 meters, there were two checkpoints, is it necessary to do this?

When passing through the level, he had to search his body, and Frido looked at the big man in charge of the search, and glanced at Minter a few times, the latter also barely endured, standing there with a straight face, and his body kept exuding cold air Those big men were all people who had seen the masters, and they were shocked by Minter's momentum, and they didn't dare to mess around, so they searched in a hurry, and let them go

When he arrived at the main tent, Frido was about to go inside, but was stopped by the handsome young man guarding the door, "Madame is meeting guests, you can wait in the tent next to you" He was annoyed for a while, but he thought that he was restricted by Ziya in many things, so he couldn't help but walk into the small tent on the side of the road When he saw Mint following him, he suddenly felt better, and he was eager to eliminate this former little friend, so that the woman who looked down on him could learn a good lesson

After waiting for a long time, Frido asked several times, and the answer was "Madame is meeting guests, you can continue to wait" His face became more and more ugly, and when he saw Minte carefully watching his reaction, he smiled bitterly: "Your speculation is right, I helped her come up with ideas, solved several major forces in Monri, and made her a real underground king, but now she looks down on her in the final analysis, because I am not strong enough"

"You're strong, Freedo," Mint whispered, "and you're strong, not just in terms of force"

Frido smiled, took a deep breath, and waited

When it was time for dinner, the maid brought a simple meal, the two of them did not eat at noon, they were very hungry, and they were about to start, but they saw a guard walk in and said, "Madame wants to see you, hurry up"

Minter put down the food, stood up, saw that Frido was still sitting, gently pushed him, saw him get up with a black face, patted him on the shoulder, walked out of the small tent with him and was about to enter the big tent, out of the corner of his eye, Minter caught a glimpse of the guest who had just left looking back, he quickly turned his head, and his heart was awe-inspiring

Isn't that Esparo? Lady Ziya entertained guests for most of the day, is he? It seems that there is really some secret between them

Minter narrowed his eyes, this time he really had to find a way to stay
