The sun is shining, and the cold wind of autumn mixed with sand and dust hits people, taking away a trace of warmth brought by the sun.

A group of more than a dozen people rode horses and galloped on the mountain road, all of them wrapped tightly from head to toe with thick cloaks, but when the wind blew, the corners of the robe were lifted, and you could vaguely see the Esther-style costumes under the cloaks.

It was almost noon, and the two people at the back of the team approached each other and whispered a few words, and one of them hurried to the front, and said to a masked man wearing a dark blue hooded cloak who was running at the front: "Young Master Xiao, we adults want to ask, can we find a place to eat and rest?" Everyone is hungry. ”

The masked man pulled down his turban, revealing a girl's face, and said with some embarrassment, "Just call me by name, there's a forest in front of you, let's go there and rest." ”

The man smiled and said, "It's better to call it Young Master Xiao, anyway, we know who you are, if you call your name, I don't know if it's your real name, or what Mary?" If it weren't for Ms. Leah's personal confirmation, we wouldn't have believed it, the Security Service is really amazing, how did it make the boy look like this? ”

The masked man chuckled dryly, and turned back to make a look of concentration on his way.

She was originally a girl, but she changed her hair and eyes to the most ordinary linen, and slightly modified it. When she passed through the ruins of several Nogar towns before, she could still see the dilapidated wanted notices, which showed that it was necessary to make this modification, but she just didn't quite understand why Mallory wanted to fictionalize the person "Xiao Minte"?

For a long time, the magic that can change gender is a secret in the Security Bureau, and only a few high-ranking personnel, as well as some elites or secret spies, can only be accessed, and others have at most heard some rumors, but the water that changes hair se and eye se is used more. Therefore, within the Security Service, there are no more than twenty people who know that Minna and Minter are the same person. Some staff members who don't know the inside story, after working with Minna and "Minter" successively. also laughed and said that they look so similar, are they brothers and sisters?

Probably this kind of remark caused Melory to have some kind of idea, since last year, he has deliberately recorded all the tasks that Minna has completed in the name of "Minter", and fabricated the background information of a Minter teenager, including the father is the unknown illegitimate son of Earl Shaw, both parents died, adopted by the Security Service since childhood, and grew up to become an elite of the Security Service to carry out countless missions, etc. Even the proof of schooling, the status of the nanny, and the doctor's medical certificate when he was sick as a child are backed up. If you don't know the truth, whoever reads that document will think that such a person really exists.

Minna didn't see the document until a few days ago and was shocked. She really couldn't figure out what Mallory's purpose was by doing this.

The group came to a small grove, dismounted and rested for a while. Minna ate some dry food with white water, and caught a glimpse of the middle-aged man on the opposite side swallowing wheat cakes with some difficulty. Smile slightly.

This time, the king's envoy was the second secretary of the land. Odoff. Mandheling. I'm in my forties. Skinny figure. Slightly curly hair interspersed with silver threads. Small round face. Small eyes. Wears a pair of one-sided glasses with a thin silver chain. Although the smile is gentle and harmless all day long. But the occasional goblin light in his eyes still hinted at his dungeon mansion.

This secretary has been sitting in the position of second secretary for more than ten years. Because the respected first secretary was old and sick. He actually held the position of two people at the same time. Very favored by the king.

Originally, Minna was still a little worried. His surname is Mandheling. Will there be hostility towards yourself? But after getting along. Only to find out that these worries were unnecessary. Odoff once confessed to her. He was born in the side branch of Mandfunin's family. The dispute between Count Shaw and Mandheling's home in those years. Have your own opinion.

At first, the two families had a grudge. It began when Miss Elena threw herself into the temple due to her frustration in love. In fact, the children of the nobility were married. How many are united by love? Political marriages are in the majority. Almost every aristocratic daughter will have one or two sweethearts when she is young. But when it came time to get married. Who to marry. will still marry correctly. Back then, Count Xiao was the dream lover of thousands of girls. If everybody wants to marry because of him, he will never marry. Isn't the world chaotic? Elena ignores her own responsibilities to her family. Abandon your family to serve the god of light. This is the wrong thing to do. And her father and brother didn't recognize the facts. Instead, he invested his resentment on the Xiao family and the Kajia family. This led to all sorts of strife in the aftermath. As a result, the development of the children of the family is still limited. It can be said that it is wrong on top of wrong. These side children could not resist the orders of the patriarch. But on matters related to the fate of the country. He will never let down the king's trust because of what others say.

Minna didn't completely agree with him. But in my heart, I am also happy that the two can get along.

The wind blew harder. Minna looked up at the sky. A dark cloud was spotted slowly approaching them. The sky was getting dark. Busy said to Odoff: "It looks like it might be raining." Let's hurry up. ”

Odoff pinched his sore thigh: "Can't you find a place to shelter from the rain?" Or do you..."he swallowed, "When it rains, even during the day, the monsters come out?!" ”

Minna smiled: "It is also possible for the Warcraft to appear during the day, but the ability will be weakened a little, and it is easy to deal with." I told everyone to hurry up because I was afraid that the rain would hinder our journey. We have to get to a safe place before dark, otherwise it will be dangerous. ”

Hearing this, Odoff hurriedly stood up with the trunk of the tree and asked, "How long is it from here that you said is a safe place?" ”

"It's about four hours, and if you move a little faster, maybe you won't have to get there in four hours. There is a hill and the Security Service has set up a temporary station, which is very secure. ”

Odoff hurriedly beckoned his entourage to pack up their things, and the group was soon back on their way. In less than half an hour, it rained heavily. Bean-sized raindrops hit their heads and bodies, and they could barely open their eyes. Minna used her magic to prop up a thin shield for everyone, and tightened her cloak, barely holding out most of the way. The crowd finally reached their destination in the rain, and by this time, it was already dark.

The temporary station of the Security Service is just a few cabins hastily built on the hill, but easy on the phone:. CN is finished in the soaked Minna and his party, but it is tantamount to Ito's mansion. After washing his face with hot water and changing his dry clothes, Odoff hurriedly greeted Dyfis who had come to welcome him, and went into his room to rest. He was already exhausted. I can't even take care of dinner.

Minna smiled helplessly at Fez, glanced around, and asked, "How's it going?" Why don't you see Alex? ”

Faith looked at her with some surprise: "You know Alex?" Are you also from our Security Agency? ”

Minna blinked, and immediately reacted, she was now a woman, and it was normal that Faith didn't recognize it. I had to cough lightly: "I'm Minter, this appearance is pretending, so that it is easier to move in Nuojia." ”

Fei's expression was even more surprised, and he looked her up and down, left and right, for a long time before he said, "I have long heard that you are related to Xiao Minna of the Anlong family, it's true." The way you look, are you drinking the rumored ... Well, no need to shhh, I know that's classified. I don't ask. ”

Minna put down her hand and pulled back to the original topic: "What about Alex?" He must have come back from his shift, right? ”

"It's been a few days since I came back, and I was still there. Why is it missing now? Firth called a subordinate, only to learn that Alex had just changed shifts with someone and had gone out with a squad.

Minna had no choice but to go back to her room to rest, and the next morning she got up and was about to say goodbye to everyone and set off, when she heard that Alec had just returned and was already asleep, so she had to give up this idea and lead Odolph and the others back on the road.

Left the Southeastern Region. It's much safer on the road. In order not to be obtrusive, the group disguised themselves as merchants on the road, and made their way through the streets and alleys, and finally reached Normonka a few days later.

At this time, Odoff clearly typed the name of the mission, and the soldiers guarding the city gate checked the customs documents, and let them in without much embarrassment, but stared at Minna with strange eyes for a long time, and muttered to himself why there were maids in the mission.

Minna knew that what they had in mind must not be a good thing, so she led the group to the place mentioned in the mission's letter. The two parties meet. At first, they exchanged pleasantries, but when introducing each other, Goodwin suddenly stared at Minna and frowned: "Minna? How did you end up here? ”

Minna was speechless, and Odoff laughed: "This is Minter, he is also the grandson of Count Shaw, I heard that he looks quite like his cousin, has Mr. Chulov seen that girl?" ”

Goodwin narrowed his eyes, "Another... Grandson? ”

Minna pulled out a smile a little stiffly: "Hello..."

"Minter is from the Security Service and has been on a mission in Normonca. It is not very convenient to appear in public. "Odoff is a little anxious." What's the recent situation? His Majesty the King has brought me the latest decision. ”

Goodwin's expression was grim: "Let's go into the house and talk." With that, he and the envoy led him into the room, and Minna followed. The former glanced at her and did not stop her.

As soon as everyone sat down, Goodwin said solemnly: "The situation has changed a little, now Gale II has the intention of forming an alliance, but the nobility of Noga has a strong opposition. ”

It turned out that a few days after they sent the letter, news came from the western border area that Warcraft had infested the area, causing many civilian casualties. Rumors began to circulate in Nomonca, and the market was not very quiet, but the nobles still didn't take it seriously.

A nobleman wanted to inquire about the situation, so he sent a letter to his relatives who lived in the west, but when the letter arrived in the local area, he found that the relative's family, young and old, including servants and guards, were all killed by the demonic beasts, and the mansion was full of ** atmosphere, and the village outside the mansion was also a dead silence, and the three demonic beasts were sleeping in the basement as murderers.

The messenger, who had a younger brother who had fought in the Battle of Siko, knew something about the weaknesses of the beasts, and he desperately suppressed his fears, quietly exited the gate, and then fled on horseback as fast as he could, bringing the news back.

It was only when the news broke, that the nobles of Nomonka really began to panic. If even the nobles who live in the heavily defended mansions are to be sacrificed, will they also suffer the same fate?

Duke Jada ended his house arrest and was sent west to fight against the Beasts, and rumors began to spread in the capital.

The nobles in the north thought that the mountains and mountains in the north were safe enough, while the Wang Shu faction in the east thought that the north was too cold and poor, and the east was more suitable to become a temporary capital, and the two factions were in a mess. As soon as Gale II summoned the Esther delegation to discuss the alliance, the two factions joined together to stop it. They all thought that Esther couldn't be so kind to help. There must be some attempt. Easter's envoy repeatedly explained the necessity of the Triple Alliance, and they were still procrastinating on putting forward conditions, some asking for money, some asking for land, which made both the envoy and the deputy envoy Goodwin half angry.

The envoy sighed: "There have been several times when I want to leave them alone and go back to China directly." But thinking that Nuojia was an important barrier for us to face the Demon Domain, we had to stay. ”

Goodwin turned to Odoff: "Since Your Majesty has sent you, there must be some instructions, right?" ”

Odoff nodded: "Your Majesty has indicated that you can provide them with grain seeds in exchange for horses, cattle and sheep, and animal skins, as well as tax incentives for Noga merchants. And after the alliance is formed, they must send troops to resist the invasion of the Demon Domain, and we are only assisting from the sidelines. But most crucially, they must sign an agreement that will guarantee peace with our country after the war. No land in our country shall be invaded. These terms also apply to Shaonan, and His Majesty has confirmed them with the Shaonan side. ”

Goodwin nodded: "That's already a good deal, I hope they're smart enough." Don't procrastinate. ”

However, to their disappointment, there are not many smart people in this world. Easter's proposed conditions are indeed appealing to many people, but not everyone can see the benefits of these conditions for Noga.

Luther's faction struggled with the fact that East would definitely send troops in; The northern aristocracy thought that it was impossible for Esther to do anything detrimental to their country, and that there must be some trap waiting for them; On the other hand, Uncle Wang, on the other hand, believes that the conditions in Eastland are too harsh, and there is a suspicion of indirectly controlling the livelihood and economy of Nuojia, if the king succeeding to Easter in the future forces Nuojia to agree to some unreasonable demands on the condition of grain seeds. What should Noga do?

The three factions quarreled and failed to reach an agreement. Minna, who had turned into a boy and was dressed very inconspicuously, hid in the ranks of the attaché of the East Mission, and frowned at the chaotic scene before her.

Sitting on the throne, Gail II bowed his head and coughed, looking very haggard, and the obvious dark circles under his eyes suggested that he was not sleeping well. However, apart from the chief of the court, who stood outside the door, who repeatedly looked at him with apprehensive eyes, the Nogars present were only concerned with arguing with themselves, and did not notice the pale face of the king. Minter quietly withdrew from the attaché. Approaching Gale II from the edge of the room, he took out a bottle of magic and handed it over, frowning, "Your Majesty, didn't you eat it on time?" ”

Gale II was stunned, looked up at him, and his gaze was very complicated: "It's you..."After a while, he sighed and took the bottle: "It's so annoying that I forgot it for a while." Thank you. "I've drunk it. He felt better. Only then did he smile at Minter: "I've heard Jada talk about Sico. Thank you for saving him. If it weren't for you, maybe those 30,000 troops would never have come back. ”

Minter smiled and turned his head to look in the direction of the crowd: "Are you just going to watch them argue?" When we came, there were already a lot of dead people in the southeast, and there was not a single Noga soldier there, and only the people of our security department were hunting monsters to save people. Your Majesty, I know it is not easy for you, but please cheer up for the sake of the people. ”

But they didn't seem to hear me. Maybe I'm just a puppet to them. Gale II looked very discouraged, and without supporters, it would be difficult for him to do whatever he wanted.

But Minter was not reconciled, he had traveled so far to come to this city again, not to listen to people quarrel. He didn't know where he got the courage, stepped forward, and shouted: "Don't make any more noise!" Do you know how many Noga people die under the claws of the demonic beasts every day, and the demon domain is about to fight, but you only care about competing for that little benefit, don't you feel blushing?! ”

As soon as his voice came out, everyone quieted down, but they couldn't accept his accusation, and immediately a nobleman jumped out and reprimanded: "Who are you?!" Why are you talking here?! Don't get out of here! ”

"Why are you telling me to get out?" Minter sneered, "Even if I'm not anyone, but thirty-four towns in the southeast region, I went to twenty-seven, one hundred and eighty-six villages, and I went to one hundred and forty-one. I hunted hundreds of demonic beasts there and rescued more than a thousand Nogars, who, along with more than 3,000 rescued by my colleagues, were survivors of the entire Southeast. You ministers of Noga, you should know how many people there were in the first place, right?! ”

The crowd was shocked and speechless. Minter took another step forward: "What are you arguing about here for?" Is it for the sake of that little profit? Or do you think we Easter will take the opportunity to invade your territory?! Stop telling jokes! Now in the southeast, there is not a single shadow of a soldier, and it is our people who are saving you! If you think that it doesn't matter even if you are killed by a demonic beast, even if your country is invaded by a demonic realm, then keep arguing! I hope that when you die in the mouth of the monster in the future, you will not regret burying your country for a little profit today! ”

Luthor felt a little unconvinced: "Who said that we would definitely bury our own country... The Demon Domain can't rely on Warcraft to govern the land, right? They... They always need a proxy land, like Esparo..."

Minter gave a sarcastic smile, "Really? Can I understand that you, the descendants of Nicodimus the Great, are willing to bend your waist before the monster and submit to its servitude?! I thought you had self-esteem! ”

Luthor's face turned red, and Minter ignored him and continued: "Maybe you are only worried that East will take the opportunity to annex you, but to be honest, even if our country does this, at least we are still human beings, and we can understand your request, and you still have a chance to live, even if you die, you will be buried in the grave!" But if it's the Demon Domain that invades you, do you think those Demon Beasts can understand your pleas for mercy?! When your wives, children, and grandchildren all die at their claws, will they feel a trace of pity?! Who will save your souls when your bodies are torn to shreds?! ”

The crowd stared at him and couldn't say a word.

Minter remembered the victims he saw in the process of saving people, and suddenly felt a little like crying, but he just endured it and said, "Everyone, please stop arguing and make the right choice." This is not only for the sake of the civilians of your country, but also, for yourselves. Even if it's about thinking about future benefits, it's necessary to... First of all, you have a future! ”
