Chapter Four Hundred and Six

"..."

Holding her little bear, Annie just squatted in front of the female sheep, blinking her cute big eyes, and looking forward to this fat sheep with big eyes that pretends to be pitiful but looks delicious. They stared at each other silently.

And at this time in the distance, there was a certain arcane mage Kom who was holding his staff, lowered his head, and didn't dare to take a breath, and didn't dare to make any small movements! Just now, before little Annie even came to say what to do with him, this guy who was playing with the wind, he raised his hands and surrendered without any backbone!

Moreover, that guy kept saying: He was originally a mage in Dalaran, and he had long thought of turning his back on the dark and returning to the embrace of Lordaeron...

Anyway, that's probably what happened! It's just that Anne doesn't want to care about that guy's surrender or not!

Because she has more important things to do now than to deal with a strange sorghum:

"You look really delicious... Excuse me, can I eat you?"

Now Annie, maybe she really thinks so!

Sheep or something, no matter if it is a sheep or a goat, if it is fattened, it must be eaten... And this one in front of me looks fat and cute? Well, it's supposed to be eaten, right?

"BAA Baa baa……"

However, the sheep was crying like that, shook its head, nodded again, and turned around in a hurry, as if it wanted to say something but couldn't say anything!

Anyway, now the other party is just a sheep, no matter how smart a sheep is, it is impossible to speak human words... So, cartoons and so on are all used to deceive people!

"Okay, okay... It's really pitiful to see you like this, so I won't tease you."

Seeing the face of the sheep who was about to cry, Annie finally couldn't help but laughed first.

Then, she stretched out her hand with a smile and continued to caress the other party's little head covered with soft fur for a while, then stretched out a bright little index finger in satisfaction, and lightly tapped on the other party's head. .

In the next second, I don't know what kind of spell Annie used, a fierce and dazzling blue light lit up on the sheep! Soon, Anne saw a beautiful big sister in a mage's robe, lying on the ground full of dead grass and ashes in such a panic.

"Woo... Your Majesty, you are back!"

After recovering, Lana, who is the maidservant of the Queen of the Flame Kingdom, didn't care about anything else, just knelt and sat on the burnt black and gray grass, hugged Annie's legs directly and sobbed loudly up.

Although Lana had always had a premonition, she felt that Her Majesty the Queen of the Flame Kingdom would come back one day, but who would have thought that this parting would have passed almost six years...

Thinking about the empty queen's palace all these years, Lana couldn't help but hugged each other's legs tightly again, for fear that their queen would sneak away again if she didn't pay attention! Without the Queen, the Flame Kingdom wouldn't look like a kingdom at all! And she, the queen's maid, usually doesn't know who to serve, so she was lucky not to be dismissed!

"Wow! Sister Lana, you have grown so big, you still want to cry like a child!?"

Seeing that the other party was crying and rubbing tears and snot on her skirt at the same time, Annie stretched out her hand in a hurry, pushed the other party's head away, and then jumped aside with the corner of the skirt.

Anne didn't care whether she cried or not!

However, if you want to rub your tears and snot on your body, that's wrong! After letting those uninformed people see it, they might think it was her, Annie, who didn't pay attention to hygiene!

"Meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?"

At this time, another fat sheep, neighing rapidly, rushed to Annie's side with its funny footsteps, and almost ran into her.

"Huh? I forgot there was another one here! So,

Can you be eaten by me? You see, it happens that there is still a bonfire here! "

If you can't eat Lana... then, try roasting this guy you don't know, it's always okay, right? Although I don't know if I can eat it, but if I don't try it, I will never know!

Annie's mother, Amoline, told her: Only practice is the only criterion for testing truth!

"No! Your Majesty, he is my younger brother Pete. 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 tightly hugged the sheep that her younger brother had turned into.

She knew that Her Majesty the Queen of their Flame Kingdom would really try it if she said she wanted to eat it! A few years ago, the other party often went hunting in the mountains or went fishing in the sea! As long as those non-intelligent creatures, no matter what they look like, no matter how big or fierce, even those devil dragons or great white sharks have all been caught and eaten.

"Is it your younger brother? That's right... I remember that there was indeed a skinny guy..."

"Okay...then let's not eat it..."

Smacking her lips regretfully, Annie could only turn to look at the archmage who surrendered without fighting her. Of course, then those assassins hiding in the shadows?

"There's no need to play... Those guys have all run away?"

————

In Stormwind City, north of the Bright Cathedral in the middle of the city, there is an exquisite small house with a courtyard near the lake in the city. There is a kind old man named Kania living here. Of course, there are a few people in charge of taking care of her her servant.

It is said that this is an old man from a noble family in Stormwind City. The other party 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 guards of the city often drive away those unrelated idlers who are too close to here, so over time, the residents of Stormwind City know that there is indeed such an old man living in such a quiet and remote place in the city. woman.

However, what the residents of Stormwind City don't know is that it is such a kind-hearted old man who used to have an unusual identity... behind her faltering figure is unknown bloody killings and endless fear……

Because her real name is Pasonia Shaw! This name is not very eye-catching, and not many people know it, but if you say Stormwind City Assassins or SI:7, then many people can't help but get chills in their necks! And she is the founder of the current MI7!

That's right, this woman who created endless killings and terror is still alive and well, and she is still living in the lake area behind the Guangming Cathedral.

However, tonight, the tranquility of this exquisite cottage built by the lake that has not been disturbed for a long time was replaced by a human female about forty years old with a tight face and a pale complexion. broken...

At this time, the woman was holding a parchment envelope tightly in her hand, and then vigorously knocked on the wooden door of the small courtyard.

Tuk Tuk! Tuk tuk tuk!

This woman knocked hard and firmly! If the owner here does not open the wooden door, she will never leave!

"well……"

A soft sigh came from the small house, which made the woman who was knocking on the door of the yard finally stop, and then, a dim yellow light began to light up in the house, directly penetrating through the windows and windows, making people outside The shadow of a crooked old man can be seen through the light.

"Ezio... haven't I told you many times before? Don't bother me at night... You know, even the maids are driven home by me at night... ...I don't like someone appearing in front of my eyes at this moment!"

"The night is fascinating, can't you let me enjoy it by myself?"

Finally, under the dim night, an old man who looked a little thin and hunched, held a lantern tremblingly, opened the wooden door of the house, and walked slowly to the gate of the courtyard.

After carefully taking a look at the figure outside the courtyard gate and confirming her identity, she muttered and opened the dim gate of the courtyard impatiently.

"Tell me, what is it that you choose to bother me at this time?!"

Just casually hanging the lantern on the wooden door, the old man with a short crutch glared at the woman standing outside the door with dissatisfaction. Looking at her standing among them, not prepared to give way at all, it seems that she does not intend to let the other party in, nor does she intend to welcome the other party into her small house.

"..."

The middle-aged woman first looked up at the old man's complexion a little hesitantly, and after seeing that the other party still had that very dissatisfied expression and looked healthy, she lowered her head and thought for a while... In the end, she still She didn't say anything, but raised her head with difficulty and showed the parchment envelope she was clutching tightly in her left hand.

"Oh... the highest level of emergency information from MI7?!"

Although Pasonia Shaw seemed to be 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 grading and priority systems of MI7 were formulated by her. And those organizational frameworks and operating modes have been proven to be perfect, and have been continued to be used and operated by the little Mathias who tried to change them.

"Ezio...you know, I'm retired now, I don't want to care about these things anymore..."

"So, no matter how urgent it is, you shouldn't come to me...Maybe, you can find my grandson by yourself? Uh...No, since you have come to me, then he must not be in Stormwind City , right? Well, how about this, you can go to the nominal nobles of the Seven Departments, so that they don’t always say that the old woman is nepotism, leaving all the rights to Mathias instead of giving them some?”

After finishing speaking, Pasonia Shaw sighed deeply, then shook her head, picked up the lantern hanging on the wooden door, and planned to close the door and go back.

She had said long ago that she was retired and didn't want to take care of things anymore, but these people always came to bother her. Moreover, Mathias is already in his thirties, so he is not too young, so why don't they hide and let him practice?

Besides, she herself doesn't have many years to live well... She has worked 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 all of them, 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 enjoying it peacefully and happily hiding here for several years, but she still wants to continue enjoying it!

"Sorry, teacher..."

"The student still insists that you must read the information that was sent back by magic through a special channel at the first time. I am very sure about this!"

When Pasonia Shaw started chasing people away and was about to close the gate of the yard and go back to sleep, this middle-aged woman named Ezio, who seemed to be a student of Pasonia, stretched out her empty hand After closing the wooden door, he firmly handed over this highest-level emergency letter respectfully.

"Are you sure? Well..."

After raising her head and looking at each other's eyes for a while, and after she seemed to understand the other party's determined attitude through the little light in the darkness, Pasonia Shaw frowned slightly, and reached out to take the envelope from the other party's hand.

When she turned the two sides of the envelope and looked close to the wind lamp for a while, and found that the top of the envelope was blank, she thought about it, but she still didn't open it herself after all.

"I'm getting old, and my eyesight isn't very good now... Forget it, tell me about it yourself."

"Let me tell you first, you also 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 opponent's arms, Pasonia Shaw couldn't help but sighed again.

Why can't these guys let themselves survive for a few years? She hasn't touched these things for many years now, and if she intervenes again this time, I'm afraid... soon, those guys who have been staring at her will definitely spread some rumors again, such as that she is in love with power. Are you willing to let go or hide behind the scenes to manipulate such ugly gossip?

"..."

Looking at Faith in his arms, the female assassin Ezio, an agent of MI7, looked at the old man again for a while, then nodded, opened Faith in his hand, and took the top-secret letter inside which she already knew the contents of. come out.

There is not much content in the letter inside, just a piece of parchment a little bigger than a palm. Ezio just scanned it slightly and read the contents:

"Urgent information: Mathias Shaw, the leader of SI7... Tonight, while hunting down the remnants of the New Defias Brotherhood in the Western Wilderness, he was hit by a spell cast by an enemy mage in the northwest of the Dimont Wilderness. A heroic sacrifice! In this campaign, 108 MI7 intelligence agents were killed, 82 were killed, 8 were injured, 17 escaped, and 1 was missing... Another: The Arcane Master Kom saw that the situation was not going well, and he died. Surrender to the enemy and treason on the spot..."

Slap!

At this time, the wind lamp in Pasonia Shaw's hand dropped directly on the bluestone floor in front of the gate, and then, under the ignition of those kerosene fuel and sparks from the wick, flames half a person's height rose on the spot ! And while the fire was shining on Ezio's dull and pale face, it also let her see Pasonia Shaw's ferocious and terrifying old wrinkled face.

"Could it be that you people are all trash?!"

Following Pasonia's roar, a short blade with a dark green and poisonous light clings to Ezio's neck at some point! However, the trembling old man was as vigorous as a female lynx at this time. How could he feel the vicissitudes of life when half of his body was about to sink into the ground?

"Sorry, teacher... I have been on standby in Stormwind City, if you think I am guilty, then please do it..."

Ezio didn't resist, and he didn't even have much expression on his face, let alone panic or fear. He still had that dull and pale face, and even those ruthless eyes didn't have many waves.

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 trash!"

Pasonia Shaw's hand holding the dagger was steady, but... her chest was heaving violently at this moment. Obviously, her current mood was not as calm as her face showed.

"According to another piece of secondary information that has not been verified at the same time: the little girl in the Flame Kingdom, the Flame Queen, she is back... It is precisely because of her appearance that the big girl is back. The treason of the mage Kom!"

"Besides, we sent someone to check on his house before, and his relatives are all gone! According to the servants, earlier, the other party teleported back, packed up some belongings, and soon teleported away together. Now, whereabouts are temporarily unknown!"

After stuffing the information in his hand back into the envelope and putting it away, Ezio just looked at the old man at the same level without resisting, just waiting for the other party's disposal.

"..."

"King Varian and the others know? What's the reaction?"

Finally, after staring at her student for a while, Pasonia Shaw slowly retracted the dagger, and then turned around tremblingly again without seeing where she hid the dagger Going out, she walked step by step to the shore of the calm lake not far from her home.

The night here is very quiet... The white beauty and the slanting moon hang in the sky on the left and right, adding a sense of tranquility and serenity to this Stormwind City. However, Ezio has no way of knowing how the old man is feeling. up.

"His Majesty King Varian Wrynn already knows that they should be discussing urgently with the Duke of Bolvar and others... But teacher, you also know that they will not have any results in a short time."

The middle-aged female assassin also followed the old man to the shore of the lake, and then stood behind him, replying in a low voice. The other party must be in a bad mood right now, so she didn't do much except wait carefully for the question and answer.

"..."

"Has Mathias' body been snatched?"

There was silence for a while, when Pasonia Shaw saw the tall top of the Bright Cathedral in the distance, finally, she didn't know what she thought, so she asked in a deep voice.

"It has been snatched back, and it is now on the way back to Stormwind City... But, according to what our pastor stated in the information: the soul of the leader of Mathias is gone, even if it is brought back, it cannot be revived..."

What Ezio didn't know was that Mathias was killed by the unforgivable curse Avada Kedavra, and his soul had been sucked into Lana's wand. If he couldn't get his soul back, let alone resurrection It's useless even if it is thrown into the plague pool of undead natural disasters!

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 the punishment of her teacher Pasonia-sama had ended, and the other party did not blame her for this matter.

"Did that little girl kill him?"

Pasonia Shaw turned her head again and looked at the deep lake and night sky. The tone of the question made Ezio feel chills all over her body.

"No! It is said that it was another young witch whose name is unknown for the time being. It is only known that she has a close relationship with Vanessa VanCleef of the New Defias Brotherhood and participated in Greg Lescovar's The duke's assassination..."

Before coming, Ezio, who had read all the information and prepared, calmly stated everything he knew.

"From now on, I will take over MI7! You are ordered to find all the information on that woman within one month!"

"Then...all those guys who followed Mathias out, including the missing one!"

A bloody and icy tone came out from the old man's mouth. Finally, a person who once made the enemies of the Stormwind Kingdom terrified, Pasonia Shaw, who once built the Stormwind City Assassin Group and sent it to The terrifying woman who developed into MI7 is back again...

"Understood! The students will arrange it now!"

After waiting for a while, finding that the old man had no more orders, Ezio didn't hesitate, got up together, and quickly disappeared into the night.
