After Na was angry with Jada, she kept angry and had a very bad temper for a few days, and got her a few precious magic recipes to make her feel better

Thinking that Alex endured a lot of anger, Minna felt a little guilty and planned to make up for it, but he suddenly received a letter from the magic enlightenment teacher, asking him to help write the school year exam questions for Ito Elementary School of Magic and the lower grades of the School of Magic

This teacher is a disgraced and respected magician in Ito, Alex has been studying with him since he was a child, until he went to Van A at the age of fifteen Alex has always had the idea of staying in the Academy of Magic to teach, but because he is too young, he himself feels that he needs more learning and experience, so he has not taken action, if he can participate in the preparation of the academy exam questions as an assistant, it will be of great help to his future job search Alex decided to accept the teacher's request after thinking about it

Minna was a little sullen, and seeing Alex's refreshed appearance, she asked, "You seem so happy to be a professor of magic... Is it really that good? ”

Alex smiled: "Of course, there are no nationality boundaries in the field of good Ai academics, if I can become a formal professor of magic, even if I only teach in the lower grades, I can freely enter and exit the libraries or libraries of all colleges in the continent, and even the ancient books room of the Van Apapal See will have the opportunity to enter my dream for a long time, I will be able to have enough freedom and resources to conduct in-depth research on the topics I am interested in, and then write a great book and leave my name in the academic history of the continent!" ”

Minna: "Magic and the Atmosphere of the Universe?" Or is it "The Effect of the Movement of the Elements of Magic on the Natural Climate"? ”

"Haha," Alex laughed, "do you remember?" Yes, I'm interested in this subject, and I might be able to write another book, "A Mix of Magic and Magic."

Minna's eyes rolled: "Okay, then I will also work hard to improve my magic level, and I will be your assistant in the future, and when you finish writing this "Mixed Application of Magic and Magic", remember to write my name as well!" ”

"Good!" Alex high-fived her, laughed, and then changed his serious expression again, "Stop fantasizing for the time being, finish what you are doing first, I'm going to... It's gone."

Minna nodded solemnly: "Okay, you have to work hard, I will study hard"

Alex held her hand for a long time before letting go, and whispered, "Don't be too tired, and don't... Sink yourself too deep, you're not fit in that position..."

Minna's eyes widened, but Alex didn't say anything more, smiling and waving away

Looking at his figure in the distance, Minna was stunned for a while, and then knocked on her head a few times: "It's time to go back to work, you're not an idler."

Whether it is suitable or not, she can only do it temporarily

With the arrival of various diplomatic missions at the site of the Security Agency, the workload immediately increased, and many ostensibly reception and security issues were arranged by the Liaison Department and the Operations Office to assist diplomats, while covert reconnaissance and counter-espionage missions mostly fell on the heads of the people in the dark nest

From the establishment of the dark nest to the present, in addition to the four at the beginning, only three people have been added, and two of them are still working in the department, and can only spare a few hours a day to help Minna and others, the task is very heavy, several times, in order to save time, she had to venture to the security department to find Ms. Leah and Melori, fortunately, she used to be in and out of the security department frequently when she was a teenager, except for some newcomers who felt strange, most people were not suspicious, even if someone guessed something, they would abide by the department's mainland work principles and keep silent

After the arrival of the Shaonan mission, the members of the exiled royal family of Weisha, who came to the place, frequently contacted the nobles of East, as if they wanted to win their support, Minna spent most of the day to send the intelligence officers to the place, a large amount of information was sorted out, seeing that the time was not early, and Melory was in a hurry to ask for this information, she hurriedly packed up, pretended to have just visited Mrs. Ponat, the hospital, and ran into the building of the Security Department with a basket of fruits, smiled and greeted everyone she saw, and then went into the office of the head of the intelligence department

Melori looked very tired, and the little meat that she had finally raised disappeared Minna dropped a few bottles of magic leaves, and thought about them for a long time, before she was pushed away by the old man and walked back with a big stride, and when she saw Alben coming towards her, her eyes flashed, and a polite smile quickly appeared on her face, nodded to him, and walked away quickly

Alben paused, frowned and looked back at her back, he seemed to see just now, a black rope was exposed at her collar, and a silver ring was set on it, which looked unfamiliar...

He stopped where he was, and after a while continued his walk in the direction of the director's office, only to find out that Glori had already left

He was a little stunned: "I heard that he was still here just now, and no one outside saw him leave?" ”

The secretary to the head of the intelligence section glanced at him quickly, and continued to sort out the report he had sent: "How do you know that he hasn't left?" Young people, there are some things you don't need to know here."

Alben's heart sank, and he hurriedly lowered his head: "I'm sorry, I won't ask again" hesitated for a moment, and seeing that the middle-aged female secretary didn't seem to be displeased, he asked in a low voice: "When I came in just now... In the hallway, I met a young lady who seemed to be coming over a lot lately, was she a relative of Lord Mallory? ”

The secretary smiled: "No, that's Minna, the daughter of His Excellency Viscount An Long, Viscount of Merton, have you heard of His Excellency An Long?" His daughter now lives in Ito Castle and occasionally comes to visit."

"So she's a family member of the old commissioner? However, apart from the doctor's hospital and the orphanage, aren't other parts of the department denied family visits? ”

"Although she is a family member, she almost grew up in the department when she was a child, and she used to cover the people in the Operations Department, I heard that she is playing mother and daughter or father and daughter or something, right? So there are many colleagues who have hesitated with her, she has a tight mouth, and she also knows our rules, you don't have to do anything" The secretary seemed reluctant to say more, took the report and entered the office, Alben moved his mouth, and did not say anything more

Back in his office, he kept thinking about the black silk rope and the silver ring that impressed him so much, he would never forget when he thought he had suffered misfortune and might not be able to return to his relatives for the rest of his life, it was a teenager who saved him He had asked the name of the teenager many times, but there was no gain, until before the Second Western War, I knew that it was Xiao Minte, and then the news of Xiao Minte's death came from the front line, and he was also sad for the other party, and personally attended the funeral at that funeral, He made a request to Mallori to join the Security Agency

Xiao Minte's ring actually appeared on a strange girl today

However, if she is An Longxiao... Cardo's daughter, it's not hard to understand, she should be Xiao Minte's cousin, right? However, Alben vaguely remembered that on the night of the escape, Chemint had brought water for him and Daphne to drink on the road, but the other party did not have it at the time

The wrap pocket is obviously an alchemy product with a storage function, and the most important thing is the ring

Alben also has a storage bracelet with little space, knowing that it is an item that needs to be recognized, since it already belongs to Xiao Minte, how can it become Minna's belonging?

Of course, it is also possible that Xiao Minte brought other storage products and didn't let him see them, and the ring was just a simple ornament, but Alborne, who had worked in the Security Department for two years, thought that this possibility was more likely for the staff to go out on a mission, how could he bring personal items that had no practical effect? Even wedding rings are taken off in the middle of the action

What the hell is going on...

Alben pondered for a long time, when someone suddenly slapped a large stack of papers on the desk in front of him, startling him: "What's the matter?" When I looked up, I saw that I was the best colleague with me

This colleague came from a family where his father and brother were both members of the Security Service, and he had only been transferred to the Security Service from the south for half a year, and his seniority was even younger than his, but he did not have so many scruples about him

The colleague said with a depressed face: "I just finished doing a bunch of work, and I sent a lot of it!" Why can't those foreign envoys be quiet for two days?! What kind of tea party is going to be held now, and who has time to drink tea in the evening?! ”

Alben frowned and opened the stack of reports: "It's a Weisha again?" They probably don't know our habits, do they? Why didn't the people in the Foreign Service and the Outreach Service remind them? ”

"Of course I was told, but they didn't understand why they couldn't drink tea at night!" The colleague sneered, "Just let them go, anyway, the purpose of their tea party is not really to invite people to drink tea!" ”

Alben sighed, divided the report into two stacks, one high and one low, and then pushed the low stack to his colleague: "I'm free at night, let's do a little more, didn't you say that you asked your fiancée?" Don't keep the lady waiting"

"Oh, Alborn," the colleague looked at him gratefully, "I don't know what to say, you're really a good friend!" He patted Alben vigorously on the shoulder, pulled his stack of reports, and said fiercely: "Bastard Weisha, we are so busy, I must find out your conspiracy and make you suffer a big loss!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he had already received a suffocation on his head, and when he looked back angrily, he immediately deflated: "Cough... Instructor... Why are you hitting me..."

"Shouldn't I have hit you?!" The old agent glared at him, "Our job is to analyze intelligence, don't rob the work of the other people's operations department!" With your ability, if you really face the Weisha people, I'm afraid you won't have to be killed in a minute! ”

"How can you say that," muttered a colleague, "I just don't resent that they're increasing our workload..."

"How much is that?!" The old commissioner's eyes widened, "When the last post-war meeting of the Five Nations, the intelligence work was more than twice as much as it is now, and everyone stayed up more than a dozen all-nighters. If I hear you say such things again, I'm going to beat you!" ”

The colleague hurriedly retracted his head: "I won't say it, I will never say it!" ”

The old clerk glared at him a few times, waved his fist, and then left violently, all the young people around him breathed a sigh of relief, but the older ones were secretly amused

Alben was already stunned

Someone has done all the troublesome things? Who?

He looked around, he was a small boss in this office, he knew what everyone was doing, and no one else was doing anything "troublesome".

Could it be that there is a secret department in the Security Service that he does not know?

In fact, he was also vaguely aware that the more senior members of the intelligence department occasionally made some eye contact, as if there was something they knew, but he didn't know about it.

It seems that he is still excluded from the real circle of the Security Agency

Alben remembered that he had agreed to Jada's request, and his heart was heavy, he didn't know whether what he was doing was right or wrong, he was unwilling to violate the code of the Security Service, but he tried to confess to Mallory several times, but he couldn't open his mouth, and the letter was still in the hands of Duke Jeda, and he didn't dare to take any chances

Flipping through the report, he pushed his chaotic thoughts out of his head and returned his attention to the contents of the report, but the heaviness of his heart did not lessen in the slightest

~~~~~~~ = I'm the dividing line ~~~~~======== three hours later

At the evening "tea party" hosted by Prince Wisha, Serrig sat upright in the front seat, feeling very uncomfortable

Beside him was Princess Stella of the Noga Kingdom, who was also arranged at the main table in the name of the guest of honor

There was no third person by the side of the two of them, and even the maid who was in charge of pouring tea and delivering snacks was at least three meters away from them

Many of the guests who got together in pairs of three and three already had a meaningful smile, looked at them secretly, and then exchanged a few words with each other, and then laughed out loud

Selig's face was even more ugly

Regarding his marriage, Ito City changed the direction of the wind at some point, and the ministers who originally supported the daughter of the Duras family suddenly stopped mentioning her, but instead praised the princess of Prince Noga, and they all said that this princess was not only beautiful, but also dignified and generous, well-behaved, and from a prominent background, is there a more noble prince and concubine than the princess of a country? It just so happened that her cousin was planning to choose a husband for her, so it would be better to choose the most seductive prince of East, which was really the most worthy

Originally, some people mentioned that Noga used to be an enemy country, but it was immediately suppressed by others, after all, the current Noga is already a friendly neighbor of East

Selig is not annoyed by these words, he wants to marry Manda, whether it is the minister's daughter or the princess of the neighboring country, he is not interested, why can't those people listen to his opinion?!

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" A pleasant female voice came from beside him, Selig turned his head and smiled reluctantly: "No... I just felt a little stuffy in the room..."

The princess Stella nodded very understandingly, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, with a smile on her face, but her mouth said something completely out of tune: "I was also pulled up, you are not comfortable, I am even more uncomfortable!" ”

Selig stiffened and coughed lightly, "I'm sorry..." Dignified?

Princess Stella still smiled very decently, and looked straight ahead: "Also members of the royal family, you and I are actually in a similar situation, and I don't want to be used as a marriage tool, I also have a sweetheart"

Selig's heart moved, and he hurriedly approached her, causing a little bit of excitement from the other guests: "So we can cooperate?" After all, we can all get out of the current predicament."

Princess Stella turned her beautiful eyes and smiled slightly: "So... Can you do me a little favor first? I want to meet my sweetheart, but I don't get the chance, and I'm sure my cousin will let me out if you invite me."

"No problem," Selig leaned closer, "Who's your sweetheart?" ”

(Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and a safe family~~~)
