Seven days passed.

In the past seven days, due to the order issued by Vega, the intelligence department, under the leadership of Qi Lisi, carried out a secret investigation of the whole city, even the complex slum area has not been spared, which can almost be described as digging three feet into the ground.

But, regrettably, nothing has come of it.

It was as if the group of seventeen people had evaporated from the world, and the intelligence department had found nothing.

Grace Rodney's face was filled with shame and remorse.

She finally received the help of her sweetheart, but in the end, she did nothing and handed over a blank scroll to Vega, which made her unable to forgive her incompetence.

Vega didn't blame Habitat when she heard the report.

Because the enemy is not an ordinary person, it is a high-ranking shadow mage and a holy dragon envoy, this powerful combination, even if the star mage encounters it, there is nothing to be done, let alone an ordinary intelligence officer.

However, the reason why the enemy failed to bite the other party's trace this time is only one of the reasons, and the real main factor is that the assassination team suddenly attacked, so that all sides did not react. When they retreated, there were not even professional intelligence officers in charge of tracking them.

Under these two reasons.

It is extremely difficult to find this group of people in the huge city of Saint Laurent out of thin air.

"Stop the search. ”

Vega waved his hand casually, not wanting to continue the extremely labor-intensive search work, and the investigation of the entire city was not a small amount of manpower and material resources, and in the end it was not necessarily fruitful.

Hearing this, Qi Lisi immediately became nervous.

No, it should be said that she was so anxious that she almost cried.

Because Vega's words were full of disappointment, she subconsciously understood it as Vega's disappointment in herself, which made her who had always hoped to be needed by Vega, for fear of being abandoned, scared to the extreme: "Again, give me another chance, as long as half a month, no, a week, a week I will definitely come up with results, no matter what, please give me another chance." ”

Vega notices that something is wrong with Chillis.

He certainly wasn't disappointed with Habitat's work.

Whether it is weakening the command level of the empire, leaving the empire with seven million divisions but no truly talented generals to command, or bringing countless advanced cutting-edge technologies to the Jialan Empire, it has played a key role in the rise of the Jialan Empire.

Not to mention in the first place, when life and death were at stake.

Killis Rodney took all the territory of the Duchy of Baya for him, which directly gave him a way out.

Although that back path was not used in the end, it finally gave Vega endless confidence to fight a good war with the World Alliance, and this was all remembered by Vega.

He was glad he had met Grace Rodney.

Without her, his steps would not have been so big, and it would have been impossible for him to catch up with the countries in a short time.

So Vega couldn't have been disappointed in her, he was just sorry for not being able to knock down the luck and find the enemy's traces, which is commonly known as the right thing and not the right person.

"You can be confident. ”

Vega picked up the handkerchief on the table, personally came to Qi Lisi, stood on tiptoe and carefully wiped away her tears: "To this day, with your ingenuity, you probably know that I have been using you and treating you as my pawn. But as the first piece in my mind, you're more important than the entire empire!, so be sure to be a little more confident. ”

It is easy to get, but it will be difficult to find.

Without famous generals, who will guard this country?

With a famous general, are you afraid that you won't be able to get it?

For Vega, Elise Rodney's talent is enough to rival a country, and she has done it before.

Therefore, in Vega's opinion, the weight of the chess piece of Habitat is several times heavier than that of a Jialan Empire! It can be said that if Isha Annistola had the talent of Habitat Rodney, Vega might have abandoned the war on the spot.

Tick tick tick –

Because of Vega's words, the tears that had just been wiped away burst out of his eyes again.

This time it was no longer tears of sorrow, but joy to the extreme. Being treated as a pawn has been known since she experienced the deception of the Empire, but what does it matter, what she has been seeking is to be needed by Vega.

Now Vega tells her that she is more important than the entire Jialan Empire.

Even if this sentence is a lie, it is already satisfied for her.

But is this a lie?

If it were put in the mouths of other kings, it would have been a complete lie.

But Vega would not deceive her, because there was no possibility of deception at all, or it should be said that there was no need to lie to her as a pawn, so this sentence must be true.

Habitat couldn't help but hug Vega.

Although this made her so painful that her body began to tremble slightly, she still didn't let go: "Say this kind of thing, how much psychological pressure do you want to give me, if you mess up, I don't care." ”

"I said all the ruthless words, but no one likes to be a pawn. ”

"But for me, it's my honor. ”

Chillis let go of Vega, then said with an elegant smile, "Your Majesty, please look forward to my performance." ”

With that, Chillis left Vega's study.

And Vega watched Qi Lisi's departure, and his head was still a little unturned: "It seems to be counterproductive...... It's the first time I've seen someone who is so happy to be treated like a chess piece, and if I was treated as a chess piece, I would have to overturn the high gamers and become the chess player myself. ”

Vary.

For Qi Lisi, who has no ambition, the words of her sweetheart are the biggest encouragement for her.

With the blessing of this super buff, she held a meeting as soon as she returned to the intelligence organization, and once again checked every detail with various departments about the past seven days.

"Your Excellency. ”

One of the team leaders said to Chelis, "We have searched all the slums, along with the most complicated ones, and have indeed found no trace of the enemy, will they have left the city of Saint Laurent for fear of being caught by our tail?"

This is a guess that everyone agrees with.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain that they have spent so much manpower and material resources that they have not even found a clue.

"Do you think that people who dare to make trouble in the palace in front of the king will know how to write the word fear?"

Qi Lisi hit the nail on the head and said: "The jackal is not fed, I believe that the enemy must still be in the city, planning the next operation, there must be something we missed." ”

The sharp gaze made a round.

Qi Lisi's unangry words echoed like a queen: "Let me ask again, is there really not a single place missing in the area you are responsible for? ”

Da, da, da-

The pendulum swayed back and forth in the silent conference room, tugging at everyone's heart.

These dozens of seconds, in the eyes of everyone, seem to be a century, and everyone here knows how terrifying the existence that was once called the 'underground queen' in the empire is.

So under this kind of high pressure, a fat man finally stood up tremblingly, only to see beads of sweat the size of beans couldn't stop sliding down his forehead, even if it ran to his eyes, he didn't dare to wipe it.

"Report and report to the minister, the lower and lower officials have something to say. ”

The trembling voice was especially noticeable in the silence of the meeting, and the eyes of the crowd were focused on him.
