"Has all this information been verified one by one? Can't you make a mistake?"

"No. Boss, we have already sent people to find out. The information is absolutely correct."

"That's good, sort out all the useful information. There is a merchant ship going back tomorrow. You go back and report everything to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Yes, boss."

This is a very ordinary shop from the outside, located on an ordinary street in the capital.

The people living nearby are of all ranks, of all levels, including ordinary people, businessmen who have traveled far and wide, and some nobles of ordinary rank. It can be said that fish and dragons are mixed.

Opening a shop in such a place not only requires a certain amount of financial resources, but also requires a certain amount of contacts.

Businessmen who can gain a foothold in such a place cannot be underestimated.

The location of this store is neither the best nor the worst. It happened to be in the corner of the most prosperous area, there were not many people coming, but there were not many. No matter how you look at it, this is a very ordinary shop without any special features.

The store is mainly engaged in the clothing business. It has three floors in total. The first floor sells clothing for ordinary people, the second floor sells clothing worn by nobles, and the third floor is where the store owner lives and rests.

At this moment, in a hidden room on the third floor, several people were talking in low voices.

Sitting on the seat, he was a middle-aged man, wearing the kind of clothes that middle-level businessmen often wear. He looked very rich, with a slightly fat body, a round face, a pair of small eyes, and he smiled. It became two thin slits, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a good old man.

No one would have thought that this person's true identity was the leader of the secret agents sent by the Queen of the Kingdom of Shawego to the Kingdom of Esk.

His name is Put, and he is a very well-known figure in the thief circle of Shawego Kingdom.

Because of the advantage of appearance, people who see him for the first time will always relax their vigilance, whether it is performing tasks or killing people. Basically never missed.

Naturally, it couldn't be easier for such a person to be a spy. He brought a few cronies with him, all of whom were brought out when he was in the Thieves Guild. Successfully infiltrated local business associations.

With clever minds, flexible diplomatic means and solid financial backing,

They finally established an intelligence point belonging to the Kingdom of Shawego in the capital of King Esk. In this regard, they did much better than the Druids Union. The toughness has an effect.

At this time, standing in front of Putt, there were several young people dressed as buddies. Even at this moment, their demeanor was the same as that of ordinary buddies, which showed the ability of these people to pretend.

The spy leader, Putt, the owner of the clothing store, was unfolding a note and carefully watching the information on it.

After reading it, Put raised his head and looked at the few people standing in front of him. Finally, his eyes fell on the man in blue in the middle, and Pute said slowly: "Also, don't carry these things with you. You have a good memory. You can remember it after reading it. Write down all the information. You'll be fine when you go back."

"Yes, boss." The man in the blue short jacket said hastily.

Then Put left with the others, only the man in blue looked at the notes on the table one by one and memorized them in his heart over and over again.

There were more than a dozen pieces of information on the table, and it didn't take long for him to firmly remember them in his mind.

"Have you finished watching?" Putt suddenly came behind him at some point.

Although the man in blue was used to this quiet demeanor, he was still taken aback.

The man in blue hurriedly lowered his head, and said in reply: "Boss, I've finished watching."

Put gathered the notes together, held them in his hand, and continued to ask with a smile, "Have you written them all down?"

"Yes, Boss, I've written it all down." The man in blue replied seriously, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. Don't look at him smiling, this Boss, at least hundreds of people died at his hands.

in the room. There is an oil lamp with a cluster of flames, constantly beating.

Put walked over slowly, and lit the notes in his hand one by one. "In this case, you go back and prepare. The boat will be early tomorrow morning. Get up early, so you don't miss the time."

"Yes, boss." The man in blue quickly obeyed.

Early the next morning, the spy boarded the merchant ship returning home.

Along the way, the weather was calm, so, very smoothly, this person returned to Shawego's Xuedu.

When he came out, it was early spring on the side of Esk Kingdom, but on the side of Xuedu, the ground was still covered with a thick layer of white snow, and the change of seasons seemed to be set back a few months here.

In the city of Xuedu, there are pedestrians wrapped in thick clothes everywhere, but the palace is as warm as spring, and the queen is seriously reviewing the memorial in a side hall. Probably because of the loss of a child a few years ago, there was a sense of vicissitudes on a beautiful face that could not see the traces of time.

Hearing that someone sent out had returned, she changed into a set of costumes under the service of the maid, and sat on the seat in the side hall with a serious face.

"Let him in."

After a while, the spy came in from the outside. He didn't dare to look directly at the queen sitting above him. He just bowed his head as soon as he came in. He lowered his head and said, "Meet Your Majesty."

"Are you one of Put's men? What news do you want to tell me this time?" The Queen looked at the people crouching at her feet. asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, there are a total of nine items to report to you this time. First of all..." The spy lowered his head, knelt there, and reported the information he had recorded in his head to the Queen in detail.

Some of these materials are about the secrets among some upper-class nobles in the capital, and the other part is focused on the close relationship between the second prince, His Highness Xiu Senya, and Viscount Romon of Tertashaw.

Because the queen and Viscount Tetashaw had an affair, and the troops sent out had suffered a great loss in Yuanfan Port, Putt and others put the information collection of Viscount Tetashaw Romon at the top of the list.

Although Romon is usually cautious, some things are obvious and can be easily obtained without wasting too much effort.

For example, the close relationship between Romon and Prince Xiu Senya is known to many upper-class nobles, and the joint operations of the Fourth Fleet and the Fifth Fleet are widely spread.

These messages just made the queen frowned, but what really changed her expression was the next message.

"According to our investigation, more than a month ago, the Druid Union sent five druids headed by Hadina Archdruid. The five of them took a boat to the capital of the Esk Kingdom, and Enter the palace to ask His Majesty the King of Esk Kingdom!"

"Druids union?" The queen said to herself thoughtfully: "Last time, they offered to help me. This time, they went to the Kingdom of Esk again. I really don't understand. What are these people doing? Think? Could it be that there is some serious conflict with this giant eagle druid?"

Seeing the man below stop, she came to her senses. Said lightly: "You continue to tell your information!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The man took the order, so he continued: "The three major druids proposed to the king of the Kingdom of Esk to punish the giant eagle druid Romon and order him to go to the union headquarters of the giant eagle druids. Apologize, the king didn't directly agree at that time, saying that he wanted to think about it, but in the end, a piece of news came, which made the three druids leave helplessly."

"What news?" The Queen really had some doubts about making the druid union fail.

Although she was defeated in the battle with Romon before, the intelligence has come out. This is just an attack that is difficult to replicate, and it does not mean that she is weak.

Secondly, although the Druid union sent someone to come forward, at that time, the actions that belonged to the regional union at that time, at best, sent a few powerful helpers, but did not really put Romon into a moral dilemma.

It's different when the Druid Federation of Trade Unions puts pressure on the Esk Kingdom. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the king of any country to be against a certain trade union organization for the sake of a small member. The Druid Union At the same time, sending three major druids to meet the king of Esk Kingdom is enough to show the union's attitude, and things should be very sure.

The news that the three druids failed and returned must have enough weight.

Seeing the queen's question, the spy quickly replied: "This giant eagle druid has successfully advanced to the fifteenth level, and has obtained the public protection of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture."

"Level 15, public protection by the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture?" The queen, who had remained calm all this time, couldn't help standing up: "Have you checked the news?"

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of the strict verification of this matter that I am reporting at this time. This matter has been repeatedly confirmed by us. The Giant Eagle Druid has indeed been promoted to the fifteenth level. According to the laws of the continent, anyone who reaches Professionals above the fifteenth level, including the fifteenth level, will be granted immunity from ordinary laws. The Church of the Goddess of Agriculture has directly sent troops to protect him. In addition, he has a close relationship with Prince Xiu Senya, and the strength of Tetashaw is stronger than before. It is several times stronger..." The spy explained all the information he knew one by one.

"Also, according to recent news, Prince Xiu Senya donated 100,000 gold coins to His Majesty, and returned in a big victory. The country's eldest prince, Hai Lancha, proposed to His Majesty to command the Third Fleet, which has been agreed."

"I already know, you go down." This did not attract the Queen's attention. After listening to the spies, the Queen fell into deep thought.

The spy retreated respectfully. In the side hall, apart from the queen, there were only her trusted female officials.

At this time, no one dared to make a sound, and there was silence all around.

"You really impress me." After a long time, the queen sighed, with a hint of helplessness and fatigue in her voice. (!)
