The alliance was finally decided. When Minter returned to the Mission's lodgings, he found that the other companions were looking at him with a strange gaze, and asked uncomfortably, "What's the matter?" Everyone waved their hands and said that it was all right, but Goodwin looked at him a few times, and when he saw that he turned his head to look at himself, he walked away to discuss the specific terms of the agreement with the envoy.

Minter listened for a while, and found that after the matter was settled, several of the official envoys, whether they were Goodwin, whom he had known since childhood, and Odoff, who looked like a good old man, had actually talked about what Ist would gain from this agreement.

Although there was an agreement between the two countries that East could not occupy any piece of Nogar territory, in a place like Sico, where the division of the region was already uncertain, once the national power of Noke declined and the binding force on the border weakened, the entire land of Sico, plus the people there, would be equivalent to being owned by Easter. When the time comes, another street will be used as a trade point between the two countries, which will not only affect the economy and people's livelihood of Nuojia, but also indirectly control the prices in their countries.

If some Nogar people can be brought in to do hard labor around Mount Toure, the development of Eastermetallurgical Mining, which was originally limited due to lack of labor, can be reborn. Even the veins north of Mount Toure would once again become a resource for East. Half of Mount Toure, which was taken away by Noga more than a hundred years ago, will be no different from being returned to East.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to send people to guide agricultural farming, East can also send some more fine crops to inquire about the situation in the country of Nogar, to ensure that they will not have any bad intentions again, and obediently act as East's rear...

Several people lowered their voices and spoke loudly, and even mentioned that when fighting against Warcraft, let the Nogga people act as the vanguard, so as to reduce the casualties of their own people, and also take the opportunity to weaken the national strength of Noga. It would be great if Warcraft could take out a few really capable Noga nobles. Gale II seems to be very ill, and may deteriorate in a few days, regardless of who succeeds to the throne. will cause a lot of controversy, and if the situation in Noga is unstable, it is even less likely to pose any threat to East...

When Minter heard this, he felt a little harsh, and his face was slightly red. Originally, when he said those words in front of the Nuojia monarchs, he really believed that the people of his country would not take advantage of the fire to rob. But now, it turns out that these nobles in East are not as upright as he thought, so did he indirectly help them hurt Noga?

He was very uneasy, could it be that Mallory and King Valfred III thought the same way? But soon he told himself that the latter did not know, but Mallory would never have such an idea, and if it was the idea of weakening the national power of Nuojia, how could Mallory let the personnel of the Security Department save the Nuojia people?

His heart settled, and he looked at the envoys with a slight disdain.

Hum! Aristocracy is really not a good thing!

He turned and went back to his room. But he didn't notice Goodwin's gaze turning to his back, and he stayed for a short time.

Whether it's Minna. Or Mint. They no longer care about the specific negotiations between the two countries. Just stay in your room and do some magic. Then find a way to find the palace governor. Let him pass it over to Gale II. The latter's body has been conditioned by the same condition he had before. Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just a little weaker than the average person. Recently, the state has been troubled. will cause old diseases. Drink a few bottles of herbs. Soon regained his health. Under the personal auspices of Gale II. The alliance was finally signed. The Esther mission began to prepare for the return home.

Minter packed his bags. I thought about it. Or put the unraveling back into the storage ring. When I came to the place, I took into account that there was a general order. He turned back into a girl. Now the general order has been lifted. Let's go back as we are. Boys are always stronger.

There was a knock on the door. He walked over and opened it. It turned out to be an attaché at the mission. Hand over a letter: "This is the land that someone from outside gave you." He said that he was a native of the Duke's Palace. ”

Duke's Palace? Which one will it be?

Minter took the letter and opened it. It turned out that Jada wrote it. Ask him out to meet him. He said that he was looking for him on something important. When did Jada come back? What is so important?

Minter looked at the westerly sun. Frowning. So he went to Odoff to ask for leave. I'm going to go out. The latter readily agreed. But when he went out. But he met Goodwin. Ask him where he is going.

He said it straight, and Goodwin said lightly, "Isn't your relationship with the Nogar people too good?" Although you have been here on a mission before. But as a secret agent, he actually became friends with the object of his investigation, isn't it? You can go if you want to, but it's best not to forget that you're Easter. ”

When Minter heard this, he felt very uncomfortable: "What do you mean by that?" What are you doubting about me? "What about the Easters? What about the Nogars? Even Lorry didn't say he was wrong!

Goodwin curled the corners of his mouth: "I'm not suspicious of anything, just to remind you... Don't say what you shouldn't say, and report what you hear. Then he went straight into the house.

Minter glared fiercely at his back. The older this guy gets, the more eccentric his temper becomes, and he deserves not to marry a wife!

When he came to the agreed place, Minter looked around at no one, and suddenly heard a voice from the small shop next to him, some of which seemed to be Jada, and hurriedly walked in, but found that Junia was sitting facing her, with her back to her, wasn't it Jada?

He walked over and smiled and really wanted to say hello, but when he caught a glimpse of "Jada's" face, he was stunned. That's Shed! Junia ate and snickered beside her, gave him a blank look, and chatted with Shedd as if she didn't see him. Instead, after the latter raised his hand and pointed to the store, Minter walked in that direction, only to find Jada sitting in the small room by the back door, and stood up when he saw him: "Coming?" Come with me out of town, I've got something to show you. "At the same time, he stuffed a ball of stuff for him.

Minter felt that it was something resembling hair, and with some disgust, he held it in his hand and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Wigs. In order not to be noticed, it is better to modify it a little. Jada paused, "Maybe you have a better way?" To be honest, I haven't figured it out, how did you get out of Nomonca? ”

Minter hurriedly straightened out the wig, put it on his head, and took out a random piece of clothes from the pile of clothes next to him and put it on: "Is this okay?" Where exactly are we going? ”

Jada gave him a faint look and didn't answer. He put on a beard and a wig, and changed into a large cotton robe and an autumn coat. The whole person seems to have gained weight. Then he led Minter out of the back of the shop, where two horses had already stopped.

They rode out of the city gates, then galloped eastward, and when they reached the front of the mountain, they dismounted and walked. Seeing that the surroundings were familiar, Minter asked, "Are you going to take me to the secret passage in the mountains?" Is there anything new? ”

Jada led him down another path: "After I listened to you. On the way back, someone was sent to investigate, but I didn't hear back until I regained my freedom last month. Do you remember a few months ago, when Lawler staged his first palace coup, what excuse was used to enter the palace? ”

Minter thought for a moment, "Like... There was an explosion on the east mountain, and he was afraid that the Queen Mother would be frightened...", he suddenly realized: "You mean... There is a problem where the explosion took place ?! ”

"It was originally a secret base for the study of artillery, and all the people involved have disappeared, because it was a project led by Prince Mario, therefore. After the death of his father and son, the place gradually fell into emptiness. When Sargent was controlled, he pulled the wagon with the monster out of the ground in the name of a new artillery. I wasn't suspicious. It was only after listening to your words that I began to think that there might be other secrets here, so I sent someone to investigate. Jada slowed down suddenly, and turned back to signal Minter to do the same, "Just behind this wood, I have arranged for a team of soldiers to be here. ”

Mint carefully followed him through the woods, and sure enough, he vaguely saw the presence of improvised military tents and other things in the woods, and when he came out of the woods, there was a large stone house in front of him. Some of them were dilapidated, and the interior was covered with dust. A few figures on the tallest building shook and bowed to Jada before shrinking back.

Passing through the stone houses and down the hillside, there is a large open flat field, bordered by seven or eight forts, one of which has a rusted iron barrel next to it. There was some yellow slime on it, and the ground a few hundred meters away was full of potholes, large and small, apparently left over from the test range.

Minter stared at the slime closely, feeling a little familiar, only to hear Jada calling to himself, "Hey! Come over here! When he looked up and saw Jada standing under the wall on the right side of the fort, he ran over and followed Jada around the wall, and a large clearing appeared in front of him. Overgrown with weeds around. But there was not even a small stone in the middle, a circle with a radius of about one meter. It is presented on the ground, with circles set around circles, and many regular and irregular patterns are drawn in the circles, and many words are written on them.

Minter recognized at a glance that they were ancient characters, but he didn't recognize much, only roughly guessing a few words as "summoning", "four" and "soul", he looked at the circle, and said hesitantly: "This... Is it a magic circle? It seems complicated. "I don't know what burned on the ground to draw this pattern, and no matter how much they stepped on it, they couldn't break it. What is the use of this magic array?

"I don't know what a magic array is, that's why I asked you to come and see it." Jada looked at Tianse, "But I know a little bit about what it does. He pulled Minter to the small building where he had seen a figure swaying before, went directly to the third floor, and then sat down by the window: "Don't make a sound, don't make any movements." ”

Minter was a little confused, seeing that the soldiers around him were taking out strong bows and arrows, preparing carefully, the atmosphere was quite solemn, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The sky was dark, there was silence around, there was no insect chirping, no bird chirping, the whole heaven and earth, as if only the slight breathing sound of a few people around was left, Minte also involuntarily lightened himself, quietly changed his posture, and gently kneaded the numb right

I don't know how long it took, and the direction of the magic array suddenly erupted with a dazzling silver-gray light, and then the silver light followed its lines, slowly flowing through every corner. When the entire array was shrouded in white light, two sheep-sized eggs suddenly appeared in the array, with a hard shell, blue and gray, and black spots. The light faded until it was completely gone, leaving two giants in its place

The moon passed through the clouds, and the moonlight gradually fell on the egg. Minter held his breath and watched the eggshell shatter, then stretched out one foot, then a second, very slowly, thirty minutes later. The whole beast broke out of its shell, only the size of a sheep, looking very weak and without a hard shell.

However, it was still terrifying to see two demonic beasts appear so close to oneself. Before Minter could draw his ice sword and recite the prayer, Jada and his soldiers had already set off rockets and shot at the young beasts like lightning, and the same arrows were also shot from three or four small buildings nearby, and the beasts were caught in a rain of arrows in the blink of an eye. Without the protection of their shells, they were easily shot, struggling, rolling, but gradually burned to char by the fire.

Jada waved his hand. One soldier waved a snow-white handkerchief outward, and ambushed in another small building, and several soldiers boldly and quickly crawled forward, clearing the charcoal and arrows. Then he quickly retreated.

Minter was about to ask something, but Jada waved to stop him, and then the magic circle lit up again, and the matter repeated again. The same two young monsters also died in the rain of arrows of the Noga soldiers.

The sky gradually brightened, and when the first rays of sunlight shone on the land outside the window, Jada and the others stopped the extermination operation. Minter finally asked the question in his mind: "What's going on?" Does the Demon Domain use this method to transport Warcraft? ”

"It should be. I only found this one near Nomonca, and there is one in the west. But there were three formations, so there were a lot of people dying there. Fortunately, the Demon Domain only transported the demonic beast over, and didn't pay attention to what happened after it was transported. I'm just afraid that if they find out that we're here, they'll move to another location. ”

"So... There should also be such a thing in the southeast? Otherwise, I won't be able to kill the Demon Beast no matter what..."Minter muttered, "It seems that the Demon Beast is easy to deal with when it first breaks the shell, but a few of them come like this every day, and it is unbearable, so there is no way to destroy the magic array?" ”

"I tried, it didn't work." Jada sighed. "And I've thought about it, if it's too obvious and alarms the Demon Domain, they're likely to find another location, so it's better to let it continue to exist, and I can send someone here to be ready to destroy them at any time. If it hadn't been discovered in advance, I'm afraid that the current Nomonka would have suffered bad luck. ”

Minter shuddered, and suddenly it occurred to him that there was such a thing in East...

"Minter." Jada called out to him suddenly. "Please. It's because you're the only one I trust who understands magic. Maybe you can find out what kind of magic circle this is. Is it possible to find a way to destroy it completely? It would be nice if there was a way to detect all the existences that resemble magic arrays. ”

Mint was very embarrassed: "This kind of thing... I don't know much either, maybe I can ask the teacher and the other great magicians. ”

Jada frowned: "You'd better not tell anyone casually, except for the magician who can solve this magic array, don't talk about anyone else." I can trust you, but I don't trust the other Easters and Shaonans. ”

Minter was stunned: "Why?!" ”

Jada chuckled, "I heard about the events of the last two days, and although your words are very convincing, my thoughts are still too naïve. I would never have believed that a country would really help its neighbors for free. Now those of you who are in the mission are probably privately discussing what you will gain from this agreement, right? ”

When Minter heard this, he couldn't help but think of the conversation between several nobles in the mission, and he blushed a little, but he just refused to admit defeat: "Who said that?" At least our Security Agency is genuinely trying to help you, my lord... The founder of our agency once said that the value of the existence of the security agency lies in maintaining national peace and stability and protecting the interests of the people from being harmed. ”

Jada smiled: "Say whatever you want, but I really don't want too many people to know about this matter, it will cause panic, maybe your country, or Shaonan, will force us to agree to some harsh conditions with a solution." Although our country needs help more now, it is better to suffer less losses if we can suffer less. He looked up at the sky: "It's not early, your mission is leaving today, isn't it?" Let's go, maybe just in time for the send-off ceremony. ”

Minter opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

(The starting point was drawn again, and it could have been sent before midnight...) Asking for votes as usual has slipped out of the list... ）
