It was already afternoon, and Lance was still sitting in the little dark room, reading every piece of parchment information carefully and quickly by the flickering light of the oil lamp. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The bored little white dragon Loxani, pillowing his front paws, crawled lazily on the small table in front of him, sighed from time to time, and said in a lost tone: "Nasty ghost, when will you finish reading! It's too boring to stay here." ”

The serious and serious Lance looked at the parchment in his hand intently, as if nothing could disturb his work: "I still need a while, you can play by yourself first." ”

When Loxani heard this, a painful expression immediately hit her face: "I still want to see! Rest, let's go out and have fun." ”

"No, time is of the essence. Loni, bear with me. ”

Lockani suddenly thought of something, and then smiled evilly and said, "How about I burn all the documents here in one fire?"

"Don't make a fuss. You're really going to have nothing to do, so why don't you go and see what Eve is doing?"

"I've seen it, a few of their friends who went out to scout have come back, and there is a knight named Stuart who is sick and has a fever, and they are treating it. ”

"Seriously?"

"Fortunately, the old grandmother in this house, Wink, has already seen it, and she is drinking raw water in the wild and is infected with malaria. I have already taken the powerful herbs made by the heavenly fairy, and the situation has been relieved. ”

"Oh, that's good......" Lance didn't care too much, because he was now fully engaged in the interpretation of the demon intelligence.

After a while, Roxani heard footsteps going upstairs, and listening to the rhythm of this frequency and the light steps, Roxani knew it was Princess Eve.

She looked back and saw Princess Eve walking to the door with an oil lamp. On her face, a sad expression spat out the suppressed self-blame and worry in her heart.

Eve cautiously walked in, trying to avoid the screeching sound of stepping on the plank. She walked quietly to Lance's side. And all this, Lance, who was immersed in the deciphering work, did not care. After all, he had a whole room of intelligence to decipher.

Eve looked curiously at the boy in front of her who was working hard, and was fascinated.

Eve's evaluation of Lance from the first time is that she feels like a nerd who can't help but be windy. Later, after talking a lot, I found that he was a person who loved to joke and hang around, but he hid his wisdom and inner heart. Usually he doesn't seem to show anything, and even feels like a second fool. But once she got serious, Eve felt that the person in front of her was very reliable and trustworthy.

Eve, who was already strong, is now extremely curious. Her woman's instinct told her that if she could dig through the boy in front of her. And leave this man in Idiris to serve his father. Then in the future, Idiris, who defeats the demons, unifies the Grand Duchy of Idiris, and even rebuilds the Normanland Empire, will be able to get powerful assistants.

In Eve's view, her father's marriage policy was nothing more than a fragile alliance. Idris has suffered more than once or twice in this regard. If it weren't for 19 years ago, Idireis wouldn't have been attacked by the demons so quickly. Now, Idris should do everything he can to expand his strength, absorb talent and army. In this way, we can resist the threat from both the demons and the elves.

While Eve was thinking about the future of the country, Lance suddenly dropped the parchment in his hand and sighed in disappointment.

Eve saw that there was movement, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

"I'll go!" Lance was startled, "Eve, when did you come in, and there was no sound." ”

Loxani complained: "Obviously, you yourself have fallen into a realm of selflessness, and you don't pay attention to the situation outside." I'm afraid if an assassin comes in, I don't know how you're going to die. ”

"If the Assassin came in, you would have yelled, and I wouldn't want to know about it. ”

Lance turned around, looked at Eve and smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm too involved." ”

Eve put the oil lamp on the table and said, "It's okay, it's the first time I've seen you read a document so seriously." It's a bit of a scholar. How's it going? Did you get any useful information?"

Lance said with a long sigh, and then his tense body relaxed and collapsed into the chair: "The information that General Joseph brought back is all from three months ago, so ...... It's completely useless for this incident, it's all waste paper. ”

"I'm going to wipe it!" said Roxani, who jumped up in anger and pointed at Lance's nose.

"Damn! I thought it was so important, and if you read it so seriously, I couldn't bear to bother you! As a result, you came up with a sentence full of waste paper, and you watched it for more than five hours! Are you having a broken brain? Aren't you wasting your time? See if I don't beat you to death, you are unreliable!"

Eve hurriedly hugged Loxani, who was about to rush up to beat Lance, and said with a wry smile: "Lance, then why have you watched it for so long?"

"This information has nothing to do with the princess's disappearance. But I found a lot of other things. And the demons seem to be planning a lot of big events. Eve, you shouldn't know it, the demons have infiltrated the entire territory of Idris as early as a year ago, and have established more than 300 secret outposts and spy posts. And many people are also secretly colluding with the demons. There are many other people among them, who should be high-ranking officials. I'm afraid of the situation of your Idiris, the demons know better than yourselves. ”

"What?!" Eve looked at Lance in surprise and said in disbelief, "I knew there were spies within us, but I didn't know there were so many! Do you know who the specific person is?"

Lance shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. Although it's all written in magic language, it's already very safe. But they still encrypt these names and use pronouns. And a lot of important things are also encrypted. ”

"Can that be cracked?"

Lance touched his chin and said embarrassedly, "This, it's a little difficult. The way they encrypt is special. Generally speaking, no matter how the fixed name and fixed location are encrypted, their encrypted code is the same, that is, it is regular, and we can find a breakthrough from this. But now, I obviously read it as the same person or the same place, but two completely different codes. It's incredible. I'm afraid that this dynamic encryption method, without their cipher board and encryption method, is completely uncrackable. ”

Eve's face was now sinking like water, and an unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped Eve's original self-confidence: "I'm really an idiot. The enemy never stops, and is in full swing to prepare everything. And we, Idiris, are like two fools, still struggling with whether to marry or not, who should be the manager, and so on. Even the dispatch of troops to Menise had to be delayed again and again, for more than a month. ”

Lance stood up, patted Eve on the shoulder and said, "It's not your fault, this kind of decentralized feudal lordship is like a loose alliance, even if the enemy comes to attack, everyone will naturally have different hearts and different forces because of their own interests." If you think about it, Menice was originally the territory of Idiris, but because there was a Count Clay in the middle, it was not a matter of your direct vassals, so the sending of troops was delayed. ”

"Lance, what can you do?"

"How?" said Lance with a shrug, "of course it is to strengthen the royal power, centralize it, and weaken the vassal state." However, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and this kind of national system is still to be slowed down. Otherwise, it would not be good to have a rebellion. You'd better wait for this incident to be over and then think about it in the long run. But ......"

Seeing that Lance suddenly became confused, Eve hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"I always felt like something wasn't quite right, I couldn't tell. Lance thought about it and gave up: "Forget it, it's too much brainstorming." I don't want to. Well, let's talk about another important and brain-consuming thing. ”

Eve asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

Lance looked at Eve with a serious expression and said solemnly, "We're ...... this afternoon." What to eat?"
