Chapter eight hundred and sixty fourth marriage
Although she was quick and decisive in dealing with the enemy's actions, this was indeed the first time Nora "killed". Even though she had run out of two blocks, her hands were trembling and her face was pale like a vampire. She ran like a five or six minutes, and when she followed the established route back to the intelligence transfer point, her mood was barely calmed down.
"Be calm, be calm..."
She recalled the words when Soderol talked to her about "killing" - that guy always said that as a soldier, his attitude towards murder was the same as that of a pig. There was no such great reason, and there was no need to feel guilty. The only thing she had to do was to adapt.
"Adapt...yes, I have to."
I thought before that the intelligence system might be away from killing, but Nora didn't expect that she would encounter such a thing on her first mission. With her ability, it is not difficult to escape directly. But as an intelligence officer, she knew very well that she could not let her identity be leaked. For all such sudden events, the training she received was to "cut off the roots" and there was no room for anything.
Ensuring that the task is not unexpected is the prerequisite for all behaviors.
She rubbed her cheeks twice, then used her ability to transform into an ordinary human appearance. After calming down her breathing, she walked into an inconspicuous grocery store on the street.
"What do you need?"
"I want to see the specialties of Palling, the more expensive the better."
The guy in the store looked up at her and replied, "I'm sorry, we don't sell Palcoln things here."
"Then I'll pay a deposit to book some."
Nora took out a silver coin and handed it over. The latter took it and placed it on an inconspicuous magic circle below the counter. When the slight vibration disappeared, he confirmed Nora's identity and nodded, "No problem, what's there to decide?"
This is the way to go. Nora submitted all the information collected today. The guy took it without saying a word, and then whispered: "It's dangerous here, good luck."
She smiled and turned to leave the grocery store.
As a field staff member, Nora has a very complete disguised identity when she comes here. As a maid of Baron Waitley's house outside the city, she wants to return to the manor before dark.
But not long after he walked out of the grocery store, Nora found a man dressed in a farmer walking side by side and whispered: "I love to eat Mafran's cheese."
"I heard that thing tastes like rotten salted fish."
The conversation without beginning and end was a secret code. Obviously, the farmer was also a member of the "CIA". Nora turned her head and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Jonathan, the first local field staff." The farmer looked ahead and replied. But Nora did not reply because she remembered the field operation code: If there is no mission requirement in the same area, field staff are strictly prohibited from contacting each other.
"You must be thinking that this is something that is not allowed by the regulations? Actually, the first group of us thought so at first, but now? They died, injured and injured, and there is no one to help when they encounter difficulties..."
Jonathan walked side by side for more than ten meters, looked at Nora, who was hesitant on her face, and whispered: "Look at you being only twenty years old, are you really willing to do such a dangerous thing at such a young age?"
Nora nodded, but hesitated.
"Ha, of course we have to be loyal to Iversa. The words just now were just a sigh, don't think too much." Jonathan said as he turned into another direction: "Three days later, if you have time, I can invite you to have a drink in the evening."
After saying that, he walked on another path, leaving Nora alone in a daze.
After the other party disappeared, Nora's confused expression was quickly replaced by caution. The first thing she thought of was the things she learned during training - because the foundation of the "intelligence agency" was established at the Palling Trading Company, many of the field staff in various regions were from "wild ways" and had not received professional training from Elsen City.
This Jonathan is obviously an example. If he had been in Elson City, he would have known how terrifying the test of Nora, a guy who received the most rigorous training, had endured - and the other party obviously did not realize that the village girl who just chatted with him was the strongest and most loyal agent in the current intelligence system.
So, Nora, who noticed the abnormality, continued to walk a few streets and turned into an alley, and then... disappeared into the shadow.
*******
May 5th.
This day is the seventeenth birthday of Charles II's second daughter. In the past, this kind of thing was just closed in the palace to celebrate, but this year was different from the past. The lord of the Red Dragon clan Quio agreed to Charles II's "marriage" proposal to get the strongest Iscar, the young and beautiful daughter of Charles II, engaged to Charles II's young and beautiful daughter Rowling, and the wedding date is set in November this year.
Because Charles II and Quiuo believed that the war in Jieshi was coming to an end, and marriage would help both sides cooperate better.
The engagement was the first time for the Dragon Clan and humans, and it inevitably caused an uproar in the entire kingdom.
The Royal Daily promoted this in all aspects, and the entire page was almost occupied by various information about Iscar and Princess Rowling. Although people were tired of these contents later, when they talked about it at the dinner, everyone still couldn't avoid this topic.
The engagement has actually caused a lot of storms within the dragon clan. Iscar will not say whether he is willing or not. For the arrogant dragon clan, being suddenly betrothed a human wife is like the son of a real-powered duke who was betrothed the daughter of a bricklayer... How could he be happy?
If anyone in the Dragon Clan is really willing to marry humans, the Red Dragon Clan, which cannot afford to see humans, is definitely the last one. But after Quio did this, several lords of other Dragon Clans felt an invisible pressure... because they all saw Quio's determination and ambitions in this regard.
As the "successful" side, Charles II was indeed proud at this time. The birthday party held in the palace cost a lot of money, and the invited guests spoke various blessings, and everyone was busy for a whole day until midnight.
The messy banquet hall was being cleaned by servants. Even though Charles II had a good alcohol tolerance, he was drunk after drinking happily for a long time. When he returned to the study, he found that his daughter Rowling was already standing in the house.
"Father."
Rowling has been obedient to her father since she was a child. In fact, as a princess, she had long anticipated her fate of "marriage", but now she didn't expect that her husband would be a dragon clan - this kind of thing sounds good, but as the person involved, her uneasiness cannot be concealed.
"Have you gone to rest yet? Rowling, I know... this is not fair to you, but Lord Quio is a proud dragon clan, and he will never let Iscar bully you."
Charles II sat in the armchair with his daughter's help. He leaned back, his eyes swollen because of drunkenness. When he lifted the dragon clan, his eyes flashed with a different emotion: "This is an opportunity for the Kingdom of Karen. As a monarch, I must seize it..."
"I, I understand your painstaking efforts, Father."
Rowling had thought about what she had told her heart in the past, but seeing that her father had such a deep obsession with the unification kingdom, she finally swallowed the words back.
"Rolling, help me get the map."
Charles II waved his hand, and his daughter obediently spread the one-meter-long scroll on the table in front of him. With the help of alcohol, Charles II inexplicably felt a sense of pride at the map in front of him. Although Rowling, as a daughter, was in a bad mood, she knew that she should be happy at this time, so she asked in a low voice: "Next, are we going to attack?"
