Keli and Anya reluctantly said goodbye, and then left with Oriana. The two still had a lot of preparation work to do, including selecting a group of people from the academy, forming an archaeological team, and so on.

After they left, Anya couldn't help but sigh, and she really wanted to take risks with her friends.

But she looked down at her thin arms and legs. She might look good in a short skirt, but if she wanted to go out and take risks, she would really cause trouble for others.

If I had known earlier, I should have learned swordsmanship from Uncle Luo Er? Even if I couldn't become very powerful, I could at least improve my physical fitness, right?

However, this kind of thought can only be thought about. Her father definitely doesn't want her to learn swordsmanship or anything like that, he just hopes that she can inherit his legacy.

It's all because the two brothers at home are too willful and unreliable...

The eldest brother said: Who is willing to be the son of a duke? I want to make a career on my own, and then I will become a soldier.

The second brother said: I have followed the footsteps of my eldest brother since I was a child and wanted to live my own life, and then I became an actor.

Only the little sister Anya is left in the family, accompanying the most powerful Speaker and Lord Protector in the country.

If the two brothers refuse to change their minds before the death of the Speaker, Anya is likely to inherit her father's title and become the first female duchess in the history of the empire.

It's ironic when I think about it...

Anya was thinking wildly when she suddenly saw Jeanne running into her ward in a hurry.

She came here specially to say goodbye.

In fact, she originally looked for Luo Er first, but she couldn't find him, so she looked for Keli again. There was no one in the apartment, so she finally had to come to Anya.

"Everything in the imperial capital is almost done. I have purchased a large amount of supplies and have to send them back to my hometown as soon as possible to help the people there survive the winter."

"By the way, Miss Anya, have you seen my teacher? I haven't seen him for a long time."

Jeanne sat on the hospital bed, following the teacher's habit of peeling anya's sweetmeats with a fruit knife.

However, her technique was far inferior to Luo Er's. Not only was the peel a bit thick, but she couldn't peel it into the shape of a flower. In contrast, Anya preferred to watch Uncle Luo Er peel the fruit.

"Uncle Luo Er has been busy with some things recently, so he doesn't have time?"

Anya replied.

She heard something from the housekeeper Odo, and knew that Uncle Roll accepted her father's invitation and became an important figure in the empire. Of course, he was very busy.

"Eh? Something important?"

After hearing this, Jeanne blinked her eyes, then leaned close to Anya's ear and asked in a low voice:

"My teacher, he is actually the legendary King of Gray, right?"

Anya couldn't help but was slightly startled. She had heard the butler mention the term Gray King. It seemed that this was the name of the leader of the secret intelligence agency, right?

So, Uncle Luo Er should also count?

So she nodded.

Seeing this, Jeanne laughed and quickly warned:

"You must keep the teacher's secret secret! He definitely doesn't want others to know his identity."

Anya nodded repeatedly and said with a smile:

"That's natural. This is an important secret."

"So after I go back, I have to work hard. I have to make good use of the knowledge I learned in the empire to let our people live a good life, so as not to disgrace the teacher's reputation!"

Jeanne continued.

Anya also smiled and replied:

"Yeah, come on! If you have any questions, you can send me a telegram."

"Yeah, I will definitely work hard!"

Jeanne made small fists with both hands to encourage herself, her beautiful face was full of energy.

In the evening, Luo Er hurriedly explained his work for tomorrow, then rushed back to his daughter's dormitory to have dinner with her.

Coincidentally, Keli had just finished her work and had just returned home.

The father and daughter had their own thoughts and didn't know how to speak, which made this supposedly warm dinner seem a bit boring.

In the end, it was Rohr who spoke first:

"Dad, I have to go on a long trip and have very important work, so I won't be able to see you for a while."

As he spoke, he took out the golden telescope badge from his arms and added:

"It's a task assigned by the military."

After hearing this, Keli blinked and said:

"Eh? What a coincidence, I just happened to receive a temporary archaeological mission, and I have to go out with Teacher Oriana."

When Luo Er heard this, he quickly asked:

"Huh? Wait, are you going to go to the ruins left by that elf too?"

Keli also suddenly showed a surprised smile and asked:

"Yes, yes, is dad going somewhere too?"

The father and daughter originally thought that this would be a long separation, but they did not expect that they would bump into each other by chance, making it seem like a father-daughter outing.

"That's great so I don't have to worry!"

Rohr said with a pleased expression.

This time is different from the last time. He is traveling with his daughter in an official capacity. He does not have to live in a local village like he did in the Plenty Valley before, but can always take care of his daughter.

The father and daughter can also have a thrilling adventure in the ruins, which is a little exciting just thinking about it.

However, my daughter majored in history and often went out for archeology, making her look like Tomb Raider...

Keli was also very excited, jumping up and down on the spot and cheering:

"Kelly, looking forward to the adventure!"

When Luo Er saw how cute she was jumping around, he picked up the telescope badge and took a photo of his daughter's cute appearance to record this precious moment.

However, due to different arrangements, the father and daughter could not take the same airship. They had to take the airships of the Scholars Association and the Ministry of Security respectively and arrive in batches.

"Anyway, remember to be prepared. It's getting cold now and it's a plateau area, so the conditions must be very difficult."

"But don't worry. Dad will be here this time and he will definitely protect you."

Luo Er touched his daughter's little head and said with a doting look on his face.

This time, my daughter will not be chased away by something that suddenly appears in the ruins.

Keli also added:

"Then Dad also remembered to bring the little donkey and Xiaomi. I haven't seen them for a long time."

"I know, I will take them with me. Also, I gave the little donkey a name. I will call it Amiya from now on."

Just like that, the next day, Luo Er woke up from the big bed in the small villa full of energy.

In order to maintain his condition, he did not study swordsmanship in his dream last night, but chose to double sleep to recharge his energy.

Not long after, Afu's secretary drove to pick him up, and together they rushed to the suburban airport and boarded the airship that had been prepared overnight.

For this operation, he selected five operators to go with him, and the rest stayed behind to continue investigating the attack on the Imperial Capital.

Secretary Afu will also stay and take charge of the overall situation on his behalf, while the operator Truffle, who acted together last time, will temporarily take his place and act as Roel's deputy.

The manpower promised by the Ministry of Security is already waiting for him on the airship. There are 20 professionally trained agents with sound limbs. After this operation is over, they will officially join the Gray Ghost to alleviate the Gray Ghost's stretched manpower situation.

.

Rolle put on the attire of a spy leader in his cabin, without a mask, and then met his new subordinates in a conference room. He briefly chatted with them and reiterated the purpose of the operation.

Goals and responsibilities.

"Our main task is to cooperate with the military and the Ministry of Security to detect spies from hostile forces and protect archaeological activities from being interfered with."

As Rohr spoke, he lowered his voice again and added in a low voice:

"At the same time, we must also pay attention to the output in the ruins. This is also an important reason for our participation..."

The ruins may produce ancient mysteries that can create powerful holy objects. Although the ownership is still owned by the Scholars Association, Gray Ghost, as the supervisory body of the Scholars Association, must at least have a sufficient understanding of these things.

"In addition, this operation is a joint operation between the military, the Scholars Association, and us, and the personnel will be relatively messy. Therefore, when we operate, we must wear masks and protect ourselves just like the people from the Ministry of Security."

"That's all I have to say. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me, and I will tell you cordially. Now please introduce yourself, each of you introducing your own action code and professional skills..."

"Start from you!"

Rohr said, pointing to Eveya who was sitting in the corner of the conference room with a trembling face.

This woman joined as a peripheral employee at the suggestion of Secretary Afu.

Considering that the ruins are an Elf temple, there will definitely be a lot of things related to Elvish language in it. Although the Scholars Association will definitely be equipped with experts who study Elvish language, Rohr did not have any, so he brought Evoya with him.
