"..."
Holding her little bear in her arms, Annie squatted in front of the female sheep, blinking her cute big eyes, looking expectantly at this fat sheep that pretended to be pitiful but looked delicious. Staring at each other silently with small eyes.
At this time, in the distance, there was a certain arcane archmage Kom who was holding his staff with his head lowered, not daring to take a breath or make any small movements! Just now, before little Annie could say what she was going to do to him, this guy who acted according to the current situation had no guts and raised his hands to surrender!
Moreover, the guy kept saying: He was originally a mage from Dalaran, and he had long thought about abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side, returning to the embrace of Lordaeron...
Anyway, that’s probably what happened! It's just that Annie doesn't want to care about that guy whether he surrenders or not!
Because she has more important things to do now than dealing with a certain monster:
"You look really delicious... Excuse me, can I eat you?"
Maybe Anne really thinks so now!
Sheep or something, whether it is a sheep or a goat, if it is fattened, it will definitely be eaten... And the one in front of me looks plump and cute? So, it's supposed to be eaten, right?
"BAA Baa baa……"
However, the sheep just shed tears, shook its head, nodded again, and wandered around anxiously, as if it wanted to say something, but couldn't!
In any case, the other party is just a sheep now, and no matter how smart the sheep is, it is impossible to speak human language... So, cartoons and so on are all used to deceive people!
"Okay, okay... I see you are really pitiful like this, so I won't tease you anymore."
Seeing the other person's appearance of a sheep about to cry, Annie finally couldn't help but laugh first.
Then, she smiled and stretched out her hand to continue stroking the other person's soft furry little head for a while, then she stretched out a bright little index finger with satisfaction and tapped the other person's head gently. .
The next second, I don't know what kind of spell Anne used, and a fierce and dazzling blue light lit up the sheep's body! Then soon, Anne saw a beautiful elder sister wearing a mage's robe, lying on the ground full of withered grass and ashes in such a mess.
"Woo hoo... Her Majesty the Queen, you are finally back!"
After recovering, Lana, who was the queen's maid of the Fire Kingdom, didn't care about anything else. She just knelt down on the burnt black ash grass, hugged Annie's legs and sobbed loudly. got up.
Although Lana had always had a premonition, she felt that Her Majesty the Queen of the Fire Kingdom would come back one day, but who would have thought that almost six years have passed since this separation...
Thinking about the empty Queen's Palace over the years, Lana couldn't help but hug each other's legs tightly again, for fear that their Queen would sneak away again without paying attention! The Fire Kingdom without the Queen doesn't look like a kingdom at all! And she, the queen's maid, usually didn't know who to serve, so it was only by a narrow margin that she didn't get fired!
"Wow! Sister Lana, you have grown so big and yet you still cry like a child!?"
Seeing the other person crying and wiping tears and snot on her skirt, Annie became anxious and quickly reached out her hand, pushed the other person's head away, and then jumped to the side holding the hem of her skirt.
Annie doesn't care whether she cries or not!
However, if you want to rub your body with tears and snot, that’s not right! After those uninformed people saw it, they might think it was Anne herself who was not hygienic!
"Baa baa! Baa baa baa!?"
At this time, another fat sheep, neighing rapidly, rushed towards Annie with its funny steps and almost hit her.
"Huh? I forgot that there is another one here! So, can you be eaten by me? Look, there happens to be a bonfire here!"
If you can't eat Lana...then it's okay to try roasting this guy you don't know here, right? Although I don’t know if it can be eaten, but if you don’t try it, you will never know!
Anne's mother Amorin once told her: only practice is the only criterion for testing truth!
"No! Her Majesty the Queen, he is my brother Peter. He is not a sheep and must not be eaten!!!"
Hearing that a certain little girl wanted to eat a sheep, Lana was so frightened that she quickly got up, rushed forward two steps, and hugged the sheep that her brother had turned into.
She knew that Her Majesty the Queen of their Fire Kingdom might actually try it if she said she wanted to eat it! A few years ago, the other party often went hunting in the mountains or fished in the sea! As long as they are non-intelligent creatures, no matter what they look like, no matter how big or ferocious they are, even the Devil Rex or the Great White Shark, they have all been caught and eaten.
"Is he your brother? That's right... I remember that there seemed to be a skinny guy at that time..."
"Okay... let's not eat it first..."
Regretfully smacking her lips, Anne could only turn to look at the archmage who surrendered without starting a fight with her. And of course, those assassins hiding in the shadows?
"There's nothing left to play...all those guys have run away?"
————
In Stormwind City, north of the Cathedral of Light in the middle of the city, there is an exquisite small house with a courtyard near the lake in the city. There lives a kind old man named Kania. Of course, there are also several people responsible for taking care of it. Her servant.
It is said that this is an old man from a noble family in Stormwind City. He lives here just to enjoy his old age and enjoy a quiet life, so he doesn't want too many people to disturb him? In addition, the city guards often drive away those who come too close to the place, so over time, the residents of Stormwind City know that in such a quiet and remote place in the city, there is indeed such an old man living there. woman.
However, what the residents of Stormwind City don't know is that for such a kind-hearted old man, her past identity was not ordinary... Behind her stumbling figure, there is an unknown bloody killing and endless fear……
Because her real name is Pasonia Shore! This name is not eye-catching, and not many people know it. However, if you mention the Stormwind City Assassins or MI7, many people can't help but get chills on their necks! And she is now the founder of MI7!
That's right, the woman who created boundless killings and terror is still alive and well, and she still lives in the lake area behind the Cathedral of Light.
However, tonight, the tranquility of this exquisite house built near the lake, which had not been disturbed for a long time, was disturbed by a human female with a tight face and a pale complexion, about forty years old. Broken...
At this time, the woman was holding a parchment envelope tightly in her hand, and then knocked hard on the wooden door of the small courtyard.
Tuk Tuk! Tuk-tuk-tuk!
This woman hits hard and very determinedly! If the owner here doesn't open the wooden door, she will never leave!
"well……"
A soft sigh came from the small house, causing the woman who was knocking on the door of the yard to finally stop. Then, a dim light began to light up in the house, directly penetrating through the windows and doors, letting people outside You can see the dark shadow of a rickety old man through the light.
"Ezio...haven't I told you many times before? Don't disturb me at night...you know, even those maids were driven home by me at night... …I don’t like someone appearing in front of me at this time!”
"The night is charming, can't you just let me enjoy it alone?"
Finally, in the dim night, an old man who looked a little thin and hunched tremblingly held a wind lantern, opened the wooden door of the house, and walked slowly to the courtyard gate.
After carefully taking a picture of the figure outside the courtyard gate and confirming his identity, she muttered and impatiently opened the dim door of the courtyard.
"Tell me, what on earth is worthy of your choosing to disturb me at this time?!"
Just hanging the wind lantern on the wooden door casually, the old man holding a short crutch glared at the woman standing outside the door with dissatisfaction. Looking at her posture standing between them, not prepared to give way at all, it seemed that she had no intention of letting the other party in, nor did she intend to welcome him to her small house.
"..."
The middle-aged woman hesitated to speak and looked up at the old man's face at first. After seeing that the man still had that very dissatisfied expression and looked very healthy, she lowered her head and thought for a moment... When in the end, she still She didn't say anything, but raised her head with difficulty and showed the parchment envelope she was holding tightly in her left hand.
"Oh... the highest level of emergency intelligence from MI7?!"
Although Pasonia Shore looked like an octogenarian, she still understood at a glance what it was and what it represented from a special red signal in the corner of the parchment envelope.
After all, the intelligence classification and priority systems of MI7 back then were formulated by her herself. Those organizational frameworks and operating models have proven to be perfect, and have been continued to be used and operated by the little Mathias who once tried to change them.
"Ezio... you know, I have retired now and don't want to deal with these things anymore..."
"So, no matter how urgent it is, you shouldn't come to me... Maybe, you can go find my grandson yourself? Hmm... No, since you have come to me, then he must not be in Stormwind City , right? How about that? You can go to those nominal nobles in the Seventh Division to avoid them always saying that I am nepotistic and leave all the rights to Mathias instead of giving some to them? "
After saying that, Pasonia Shore sighed deeply, then shook her head, picked up the wind lantern hanging on the wooden door, and planned to close the door and go back.
She had long said that she had retired and no longer wanted to take care of things, but these people always bothered her. Moreover, Mathias is already in his thirties, so he is not too young. Why don't they hide and let him practice?
Besides, she herself doesn’t have many years to live... She has been working hard for most of her life. Whether it is the pleasure of killing, the temptation of power, or even money or male sex, she has enjoyed it all, and now she has gradually seen through it. everything……
But now, why do these people always like to bother themselves with mundane things? She has been hiding here and enjoying herself peacefully for several years, but she still wants to continue enjoying it!
"Sorry, teacher..."
"The student still insists that you must personally see this information that was sent back through special channels using magic. I'm pretty sure about this!"
When Pasonia Shore started chasing people away and was about to close the courtyard door and go back to sleep, the middle-aged woman named Ezio, who seemed to be Pasonia's student, stretched out her free hand to grab He closed the wooden door, and then respectfully handed over this highest-level emergency message again with determination.
"Are you sure? Okay..."
After raising her head and looking into each other's eyes for a while, and seeming to understand the other person's determined attitude through the little light in the darkness, Pasonia Shore frowned slightly and reached out to take the envelope in the other person's hand.
When she turned the two sides of the envelope and looked at it under the wind lamp for a while, she found that the envelope was all blank. After thinking about it, she still didn't open it herself.
"I'm old, and my eyesight isn't very good now...Forget it, you'd better tell me yourself."
"Let me tell you first. You all know that I haven't been out of Stormwind City for several years, so I may not be able to help you..."
Shaking her head and stuffing the envelope back into the other person's arms, Pasonia Shore couldn't help but sigh again.
Why can't these guys let themselves live in peace for a few years? She hasn't touched these things for many years now, and if she intervenes again this time, I'm afraid... not long after, those guys who have been staring at her will definitely spread some rumors, such as saying that she is in love with power, no Are you willing to let go or stay behind the scenes to manipulate such ugly rumors?
"..."
Looking at the letter in her arms, the agent of MI7, the female assassin Ezio looked at the old man again for a while, then nodded, opened the letter in her hand, and took the top-secret letter inside which she already knew the content. come out.
There was not much content in the letter inside, just a piece of parchment the size of a palm. Ezio just scanned it slightly and read the contents:
"Urgent information: Mathias Shore, the leader of MI7... while hunting down the remnants of the New Defias Brotherhood in the Western Wilderness tonight, was hit in the body by a spell cast by an enemy mage in the northwest of Demont Wilderness. He was hit on the spot. Heroic sacrifice! In this battle, there were 108 MI7 intelligence agents, 82 were killed, 8 were injured, 17 escaped, and one is missing... Also: The arcane archmage Kom saw that the situation was not good and had already Surrender to the enemy and treason on the spot..."
Snap!
At this time, the lantern in Pasonia Shore's hand fell directly to the bluestone floor in front of the door. Then, ignited by the lamp oil fuel and the wick sparks, a flame half a person's height rose on the spot. ! While the fire shone on Ezio's dull and pale face, she also saw the hideous and terrifying wrinkled old face of Pasonia Shore.
"Are you all just trash?!"
Following Pasonia's roar, a short blade glowing with green poisonous light was pressed against Ezio's neck without knowing when! But the shaky old man who was originally a shaky old man is now as agile as a female lynx. How can he have the vicissitudes of life that half of his body was about to be buried in the ground before?
"Sorry, teacher... I have been on standby in Stormwind City. If you think I am guilty, then please take action..."
Ezio didn't resist, and he didn't even have much expression on his face, let alone panic or fear. He still had the dull and pale face, and even his ruthless eyes didn't have much emotion.
It seemed that what the other party was threatening was not her life at all.
"Tell me, give me a reason not to kill you losers!"
Pasonia Shore's hand holding the dagger was steady, but...her chest was heaving violently at this time. It was obvious that her current mood was not as calm as her face showed.
"According to another unverified secondary information that was conveyed at the same time: the little girl in the Fire Kingdom, the Queen of Fire, is back again... It was precisely because of her appearance that the great leader Mage Kom’s treason!”
"Moreover, we sent people to his house to check before, and all his relatives were missing! According to the servants, earlier, after the other party teleported back and packed up some belongings, they all teleported away together soon. It’s gone, and its whereabouts are temporarily unknown!”
After stuffing the information in his hand back into the envelope and putting it away, Ezio just stared at the old man without any resistance, just waiting for the other party's disposal.
"..."
"Did King Varian and the others know? What was their reaction?"
Finally, after staring at her student for a long time, Pasonia Shore slowly took back the dagger, and then she didn't see where she hid the dagger again, and turned around tremblingly again. Going out, she walked step by step to the calm lake shore not far from her home.
The night here is very quiet... The white beauty and the slanting moon hang on the left and right in the sky, adding a sense of tranquility and serenity to this Stormwind City. However, Ezio has no way of knowing what the old man's mood is like. .
"His Majesty King Varian Wrynn already knows that they should be in urgent discussions with Duke Bolvar and others... But teacher, you also know that they will not have results in a short time."
The middle-aged female assassin also followed the old man to the lake shore, then stood behind him and whispered his reply. The other party was definitely not in a good mood right now, so she didn't do anything more than wait carefully for questions and answers.
"..."
"Did you get Mathias's body?"
After a moment of silence, when Pasonia Shore saw the high top of the Cathedral of Light in the distance, she finally asked in a deep voice, not knowing what she was thinking.
"It has been snatched back and is now on its way back to Stormwind City... However, according to what our priest stated in the intelligence: Leader Mathias's soul is missing, and even if it is brought back, it cannot be resurrected..."
What Ezio didn't know was that Mathias was killed by Avada Kedavra, the unforgivable curse, and his soul had been absorbed into Lana's wand. If the soul could not be recovered, let alone resurrection. No, even if it is thrown into the undead natural disaster and plague pool, it will be useless!
Boom! !
There was a muffled sound in Ezio's chest, and she was kicked out by the old man.
"..."
However, she quickly got up again and knelt down on one knee, clutching her chest. She knew that her teacher, Lady Pasonia, had finished punishing her, and the other party did not express his anger at her over the matter.
"Did that little girl kill him?"
Pasonia Shore turned her head again and looked at the deep lake and night sky. The tone of her question made Ezio feel chills all over his body.
"No! It is said that the perpetrator was another young witch, whose name is temporarily unknown. At present, we only know that the other party has a close relationship with Vanessa Van Cleef of the New Defias Brotherhood and was involved in Greg Leskwa The assassination of the Duke..."
Before coming, Ezio, who had read all the information and was prepared, calmly told everything he knew.
"From now on, I will take over MI7! I order you to find all the information about that woman within one month!"
"Then... deal with all those guys who followed Mathias, including the missing one!"
A tone full of blood and coldness came faintly from the old man's mouth. Finally, a character who once made the enemies of Stormwind Kingdom fearful, Pasonia Shore, who once built the Stormwind City Assassin Group and brought it to the rescue. The terrifying woman who developed into MI7 is back again...
"Understood! Students will make arrangements now!"
After waiting for a while and realizing that the old man had no further instructions, Ezio stood up and quickly disappeared into the night.
