The black shadow didn't say anything, holding an iron sword in his hand and waving it, Minna blocked it with the ice arrow in her hand, and found that although the other party used a lot of force, it was not murderous, and her heart moved, so she shouted: "If it's a friend, let's stop." He used his other hand to make a lighting spell, trying to see who it was.

The black shadow didn't respond at all, but lifted the short black cloak on his body to cover Minna's vision, and the sword in his hand was sent forward. This time he sped up, and with a bit of murderous aura, Minna hurriedly avoided it, and stabbed her sword into the trunk of a tree by the side of the road, digging deep into it. She was a little annoyed, but she didn't spare her hand anymore, and immediately turned the ice arrow in her hand into a sword-like shape, and slashed the cloak into three pieces with two brushes, stabbing directly into the black shadow's right arm.

The black shadow was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly withdrew his sword to block, but as soon as Minna's wrist turned, the ice sword avoided the opponent's defense and stabbed it from another angle. Seeing that she was about to catch the opponent's clothes, Minna suddenly caught a glimpse of a small tuft of dark blonde hair exposed under the man's black hat, and hurriedly deflected the direction of the sword, only brushing the opponent's arm, cutting a long cut in the sleeve of the clothes.

Without waiting for the other party to attack again, she quickly jumped away, lowered her voice and scolded: "Will. Morris! How long are you going to play?! ”

Seeing that she had seen through it, the man had no choice but to put away his sword, and took off his hat with some embarrassment, revealing a face that was between a young man and a teenager, childish, but heroic, and a little Sven.

It was Minna's colleague in the Security Service, Will Lee. Morris is the son of Morris, who died undercover at Heda's house.

Right now, he was dumbfounded, explaining his sneak attack: "I want to know how good I am... You know that, too. In addition to going to school every day, I occasionally do some letter delivery work, which is training. But the instructor will only ask me to train and train, but never give me a chance to practice, I see that you are always on a business trip, you must be good, so I want to give it a try..."

Minna couldn't accept this reason: "Just because of this, you are going to stab me with a sword?!" ”

"No, no, no," Will hurriedly showed the sword in his hand, "This is for training." It's heavy, and it's not open. ”

Minna saw it, and sure enough, it was a sword that didn't open, so she wasn't so angry, but when she saw the hole in the trunk, she couldn't help but complain: "Even if it doesn't open." It hurts enough to smash such a sword, even if it doesn't hurt anyone, it's not good to hurt a tree, you look at these flowers and plants next to you, what you have stepped on..."

Will was dumbfounded when he heard this, and Minna said a lot of things, only then did he suddenly feel that what he said was nonsense, and he hurriedly put on a small face and said, "In short, don't do this kind of thing again in the future." Fortunately, I recognized your hair just now, otherwise would you still have your arm if you stabbed it with a sword? If you meet other colleagues who you don't know well. You are also very offended by such a sneak attack. ”

Will whispered, "I knew you were an acquaintance before I found you..." Only then did he change his words: "I know." Don't dare next time. ”

Minna saw that his attitude was quite sincere. Nodding in satisfaction. Then he asked, "Have you been a little impatient lately?" I want to know if I'm good or bad. Ask the instructor to test it and you'll find out. Why do you want to engage in this kind of actual combat? ”

Will rubbed his hands together and didn't dare to speak. Minna asked again and again. He said, "I'm just anxious... The instructor always said that I wasn't qualified for the mission yet... You're younger than I am. It's been more than two years of work. Those who came to the site later than me. They were all sent out. But I stay in Yini all day long... I don't think I'm worse than them. ”

Minna was a little surprised: "What's the hurry?" You're graduating next year. There will be a task for you then. Now of course it's more important. A native like you who graduated from a prestigious higher education school. I will definitely be assigned to important positions in the future. The department won't let you waste your studies right now. ”

"I know what work they're going to send me. But I'd rather be like you—" Will muttered quietly. But he couldn't hide it from Minna's ears. Her face sank: "Don't you know what's wrong!" Melori has specially arranged a land for you. Your family is also in favor of it. Waiting for you to graduate from school. It doesn't matter what government department you work for. Even if it doesn't make any contributions. You can also have a good future. Do you know how many people envy you?! ”

"But I'd rather not have that arrangement!" Will was a little excited. "My family has been a soldier for generations. Not a civil official! I'd rather go to war. Go head-to-head with your enemies! Now like this... It's so depressing..."

Minna opened her mouth, took a few deep breaths, and slowed down her tone: "Do you think that only by going out on a mission and facing the enemy directly can you protect the country?" You idiot! She stretched out her finger and poked him on the forehead a few times, dragging him to a remote corner on the side of the road, before she lowered her voice and said: "The Security Department is not the army, what we do is under the table, whether it is going out to investigate the incident, rescue compatriots, or find out information in various government departments, and secretly supervise, it is equally important!" If you don't even have the patience to complete your studies and control yourself, then you are really not qualified to go on a mission! ”

Will's face turned red, and he couldn't speak, Minna saw this, and she couldn't scold him anymore, so she changed the subject: "You suddenly came to me, it wasn't just for the night attack, right?" What's the matter? ”

Will was choked on this, his face turned redder, and he finally gasped for breath, and gave Minna a strange look before he pulled out a letter and handed it to her.

Minna took it in confusion, and when she saw the familiar markings on it, she couldn't help but sigh: "No... I've just come back..."

Will turned his head to look at the street lamp in the distance: "It's okay, it's not for you to go right away, just leave in the near future." ”

Minna played the lighting technique, read the contents of the letter, and burned it directly. She has finally been able to use the fireball technique in the last two years, which is not easy.

But the task mentioned in the letter made her feel a little weird: "In recent years, the mainland abduction and trafficking gangs have become more and more rampant, and there are signs of spreading to Easter, find out who is behind the scenes and eliminate them as much as possible, if there is any difficulty." At the very least, get a list of people who participated. ”

"Land trafficking has existed for several years, and it is not absent in East, why has it not been investigated until now?" She asked.

Will replied, "This time is different. In the past, almost all of the people who were abducted and trafficked were civilians, and many of them were semi-voluntary, and the nobles did not take care of it, and the department was too busy to take care of it. But this time, there are nobles involved. It's not to sell, it's to be sold. He leaned closer to Minna: "Except for the pair you saved this time." There were children of other nobles who had the same thing, but they were not so lucky. Do you remember? Duras, the Minister of Justice, was unlucky for his niece. ”

"Duras?" Minna was stunned, "Wouldn't it?" ”

Will nodded solemnly: "His family is also a popular and powerful person, although his younger brother is only a baron, his territory is in the southwest and the border with Shaonan." Quite wealthy, the girl disappeared when she went out to play, and the family found out after half a day, and searched the local area, but there was not even a trace. Earlier this year, a friend of his family saw a slave girl who looked like a slave girl in a night tent in an oasis near Encore, and told his family to come and recognize her, but the girl's father saw it and said no. ”

Minna frowned: "On purpose?" Think she's insulting to the family?! "The tent of night music is actually an active brothel in the desert, and the fate of the poor aristocratic girl can be imagined when she lives in that kind of place. But if her family doesn't recognize her because of this. It's just too callous.

"No, it's not." Will hurriedly said, "He said no at the time, but after leaving, he asked someone to quietly buy his daughter back." Only then did she realize that she didn't recognize herself at all, and asked a reliable doctor to check it, and found that she was probably taking some kind of pill, not only forgetting the past, but also completely becoming a person who only knows how to please men... Will hesitated and didn't know what to say, and Minna said for him, "Sex slaves?" Damn it! ”

Will coughed lightly, "Baron Duras is very angry. To find out who abducted his daughter, but his daughter has changed hands twice in more than half a year, and no one can find out where she was originally sold, and she herself does not remember anything. However, they did find a few other missing children of the declining nobles, and the situation was not much better, and two of them died when they returned. The Duras family was afraid that the spread of the matter would affect their family's reputation, so they simply sent the girl to the countryside to recuperate. There was no noise. But the Director of Justice privately approached our Security Department for help, and the Director agreed. There are already people in the country who have set out to go there, including the people of the Duras family, and when you arrive at Encore, you will meet with those people first, and then check together. ”

Minna frowned and said, "Do you want to check with outsiders?" Doesn't that mean exposing our secret agents to the eyes of the Duras? ”

"Mallory didn't say anything, it should be fine, right?" Will thought for a moment, and then said, "By the way, Mallory specially asked the messenger to send you a message, and the man said that I would just tell you directly, but I don't quite understand what he meant..."

"Whatever it means." Minna said categorically, "Just say what he said." ”

"It's just... Recently, the bears have to eat three times as much grain and grass as in previous years, the price of food in the shop has been high, and strangely enough, even spices are out of stock, and this year's May Day celebrations, His Majesty the King is likely to borrow perfume from the Queen. That's it. Will's face was full of inexplicable wonder, but Minna thought about it.

Xiong Zhidi is Nuojia in the north, the demand for food and forage has increased, it is likely to be preparing for military supplies, it seems that Nuojia finally can't help but want to do it, but I don't know where it is going to fight this time? The store refers to the mainland, the price of grain is high, and the lives of ordinary people will be greatly affected, if there is a war at this time, the situation will be worse, do you want to notify the people here to buy more grain and send it back to China?

As for spices... She suddenly remembered the big business that her grandfather had mentioned just now, could there be any relationship between the two?

If anything, maybe she's got a clue.

Without further ado, she hurriedly said to Will: "I know, if it's okay, I'll go back first, and you can go back to Ennie quickly, okay." And he departed.

Will had just had time to say, "I don't have class tomorrow...", and she had completely disappeared around the corner, and the boy sighed a little disappointed and turned to leave. When Minna rushed into the house, she saw her father spreading out all her grandfather's clothes in the hall, and she asked suspiciously, "Dad, what are you doing?" ”

"Coming back? Why is it so late? An Long raised his head, "I received a letter from your uncle before dinner. Say Madame Mirabell wants to get your grandfather's land back... Bring your belongings and clothing. I don't want to give them all, so I'll take them out and pick them. ”

A hint of displeasure rose in Minna's heart: "Why give it to them?!" I said a long time ago, grandpa just went home, not dead, why did they act as if grandpa was dead?! ”

An Long glanced at her disapprovingly: "Minna, no matter what disputes I have with your uncle, Madame Mirabel is kind to us after all, she has been living in seclusion for the past few years, and I heard that even outsiders are no longer seen now." If you have your grandfather's stuff and make her feel better, what's the point of giving them? ”

"It doesn't matter, I just hate their attitude! It's like I'm lying! Minna ran upstairs angrily, rushed down again, and picked up a large pile of Xiao Tianjian's clothes. Thrown into the storage ring hanging around his neck: "These are all worn by my grandfather and me in the years we were together, and I still wore them when I was a child, and they are all mine." Daddy just give them those gorgeous aristocratic costumes! "Anyway, those clothes that Grandpa only wore in the years he married Madame Mirabel.

An Long said with a headache: "Minna, even if the new ring that Han Lin made for you has more space than before, you can't waste it like this, right?" ”

Minna stubbornly raised her head: "It's a big deal, I'll stuff them into the bracelet and put them in the ring when I get back to the room." Hanlin and Patti's latest product is storage jewelry that can accommodate another storage space, and she chose a simple, low-key silver ring, followed by a bracelet that had been used for three years.

An Long shook his head helplessly. Seriously consider my daughter's suggestion.

Two days later, Minna set off again. This kind of thing has happened a lot in the past two or three years, so Anlong and Dora didn't say anything. Just tell her to be careful on the road and take care to protect herself, and besides, Anlong will soon receive an order, maybe by the time she returns to this house, they will have already left.

Minna is still dressed as a man. However, he didn't drink the magic leaves, but he brought a lot of bottles and cans with him, all of which were sent by Sauron. In addition to being grateful to the teacher, she also made up her mind that if she encountered any magic materials on the way, she would pack them all and go back to honor his old man.

The ship transporting spices is heading north against the current, and it has been a day since it was set off, in the spring when the air is humid and heavy, as long as there is no wind. That particular aroma will linger on the river for a long time. Minna rode overland. Smelling the fragrance and inquiring along the way, he inquired north, but lost the traces of those ships near Orrie.

What's going on? Minna scanned the river in bewilderment. She asked the dam staff. How could those people have disappeared without the passage of spice ships? It is said that they had been resting on the edge of the town of Orry the night before, and that the people on the boat had bought a small round meal, but suddenly disappeared at dawn?

Minna lingered for half an hour, deciding to wait another night, and if she couldn't find out where they had gone, she would go to Encore City on her own to meet up with the people from the country.

She had just made up her mind, but her nose suddenly smelled a hint of spice. Thanks to her mother and grandfather, she has been dealing with these things since she was a child, so her sense of smell is quite sensitive, and she can smell the same smell as the smell of spices sold by her grandfather, so she hurriedly walked to the side of the street and looked back, and saw that there were more than a dozen men carrying seven or eight wooden boxes passing by, so she followed them to the corner of the street like passers-by, and watched them enter a house, and suddenly her heart moved, and she turned to the back of the house, and sure enough, she saw that there was a small dock there, and three or four small boats were parked, and the men I had just seen were moving the boxes to the boat.

It's so cunning, everyone thinks they're just passing by by boat, who knows that they quietly go ashore and pretend to be locals to take a small boat instead?!

Looking at the men, she somewhat understood why her grandfather said they were a little weird. Each of them had a gray face, and they looked like dead people, but they could talk and do things, and they were no different from normal people, but she didn't smell the smell on their bodies.

Someone stepped out of the cabin and stepped on the plank. Minna felt that he was a little familiar, and after a few more glances, she almost screamed in surprise, and hurriedly retracted her head, feeling a little confused.

That's not Esparo. Heddah? He should still have Balasig, right? How could it be here?!

Minna bit her lip and looked again, making sure that it was indeed Esparo, or someone who looked exactly like him. Someone can still come out after entering Balasig, what's going on?

She felt that this matter must be notified to the department as soon as possible, but she saw another man coming out of the boat, who was also an acquaintance, the "black cloak" she had seen a few days ago, how could they be together? Could it be that spice patrons and slave traders... Is it really a gang?

In order to find out what was going on, Minna waited until it was dark and then managed to sneak into the house and look for clues.

She moved lightly, avoiding the patrolling guards, and identifying the direction according to the observation of the daytime, and as soon as she approached the study, she heard footsteps approaching, and hurriedly hid in the room, and saw that the curtain was thick and long, and the window behind her was open again, and she hurriedly hid behind the curtain.

Esparo and the Black Cloaked Bringer walked in, and the atmosphere between the two was a stalemate, as if an argument had just taken place. The former poured a glass of wine and drank it himself, and when the messenger saw this, he said lightly: "If a person can escape, he must have escaped, so what's the point of us arguing about this matter any longer?" ”

"Meaning?" Esparo sneered, "My own brother was abducted by you and almost fed that kind of shit, what else do you mean?!" ”

A trace of disdain flashed in the messenger's eyes: "The daughter of the Duras family, you personally ordered to catch and feed the girl yourself, and you didn't blink an eyelid at that time." "How is that the same?!" Esparo slammed his glass suddenly, "His family has fallen into a well, and they deserve this kind of retribution!" But my brother... My brother... If he turns out to be like that, I'd kill him with my own hands! ”

"Since you care so much about your brothers, why don't you just take them over?" The messenger advised him, "The master will take good care of their land, and we will find a way to rescue your father and brother in prison." ”

Esparo retracted his anger and said lightly: "It's not convenient now, let's talk about it in a few years, there are likely to be people around them to watch." ”

"You won't be... Don't trust us, right? The messenger smiled, "Rest assured, we have always been sincere with our own people. As long as you are honest and do things for us. ”

"Ah, I will." Esparo dusted the ground on his sleeve, "I just hope that when you take Ito Castle, don't forget to promise me something." ”

Minna was shocked in her heart, and with a slight turn of her feet, she wanted to leave through the window, but suddenly heard a "click" on the ceiling, and the two people in the room immediately jumped up: "Who is it?!" ”
