Chapter 1204: Helena, This Old Hag, Truly Deserves To Die
Mag felt much more relaxed after confirming the first delivery order, and as compared to the various complicated alleys and lanes and all kinds of different housing, it was much less likely for Connie to get lost when she was delivering to the Bastie Prison next door.
There was only one single door for such a big prison. She was definitely going to send it there, right?
“Please come again.” Yabemiya turned the wooden sign over after she sent the last customer off, and it indicated that the breakfast hours were over.
“Should I be doing something?” Connie came downstairs with the helmet in her hands. Everyone was busy in the morning, but she wasn’t required to do anything. Although it was relaxing, she felt rather bad about it.
“If you really feel bored, you could go ride the bicycle around to get familiarized with the streets.” Mag looked around before zooming onto Anna, and smilingly asked, “Anna, do you want to go and have a ride with Connie?”
“Alright.” Anna nodded her little head.
“Remember to bring her back if she gets lost,” Mag whispered as he placed a pair of little rabbit earmuffs on Anna’s head.
“Mm-hm,” Anna replied obediently and followed Connie, who was fully suited up, out the door.
“Be careful and don’t let Anna fall,” Mag reminded Connie.
“Don’t worry. My riding skills are super—”
“Splat…”
Connie, who was pushing the bicycle, stepped on a piece of ice and fell backwards onto the ground. The bicycle fell on top of her.
“Big Sister Connie, are you still okay?” Anna asked rather anxiously.
“—stable.” Connie’s weak voice came from the ground.
“And you still dare to laugh at Ugly Duckling.” Mag pursed his lips, and took the bicycle off Connie before pulling her up from the ground.
“Meow~” Ugly Duckling poked its head out of the door and gave Connie a disdainful side glance.
“A cat could have misstepped too. This is nothing…” Connie cleared her throat and straddled the bicycle. Then, she removed the insulated box on the rear seat, and confidently said, “Come on, Little Anna. Big Sister will bring you for a joy ride.”
“I think… I had better stay in the restaurant to practice cooking…” Anna said worriedly.
“Don’t worry. There is really no problem,” Connie promised, patting her big bosom. Her gaze moved to the side and landed on Ugly Duckling. Her eyes brightening, she said, “Should we bring this stupid cat along too?”
“Meow~”
Ugly Duckling’s fur bristled instantly, and it disappeared from the doorway in a flash.
“Don’t you trust me at all?” Connie said disappointedly.
Anna finally got on Connie’s bicycle after she couldn’t turn down her invitation.
A black figure suddenly appeared when Mag was about to go back in, and whispered, “Mr. Mag, I came under the orders of the lord of the Gray Temple.”
“Come on in.” Mag opened the door to let the man in black into the restaurant first.
He had long noticed this black figure; that was why he let Anna go out to play with Connie.
“The lord wants me to pass this to you.” The man in black passed a black 50-cm-square box to Mag.
“Thank you very much.” Mag took the box. The box wasn’t heavy, and was most likely holding documents, but it felt like there should be many documents in the box.
“Goodbye.” The man in black didn’t say much. A black smoke rose up, and he disappeared immediately.
Mag quickly went to the study upstairs with the box. This should be the latest information on the various species that Michael and Rolan had promised to share with him.
Mag already knew the history of Norland Continent and the history of the feuds between the different species by heart after reading the books for the past few months.
However, the real core information that was really close to the various species’ ruling classes and the current situation wasn’t going to be easily obtained by those roadside stalls that sell information.
This information was what Mag needed the most, and was one of the most important bargaining chips to him in this trade.
After closing the study room’s door, Mag placed the box on the desk. Once his hand touched the lock, a dark gray glow flashed across the surface of the box, and the light golden glow surrounding the box disappeared. The box’s lock opened with a tap.
After opening the box, Mag found stacks of documents neatly bundled together with hemp strings according to different categories such as Roth Empire and Wind Forest. Including Chaos City, there were a total of nine sets of documents, and no one was left out.
“I wonder how sincere the city lord and the lord of the Gray Temple are?” Mag murmured to himself as he picked up the set of documents belonging to the Wind Forest.
After untying the hemp strings and removing the oiled paper, the very first report on top with the red word “urgent” attracted Mag’s gaze instantly.
“The Night Elves had obtained food rations from an unknown source, and were using the quality of their food to shake the morale of the guards. A patrol team of 30 people had defected and joined the Night Elves willingly the night before the last. Borg had ordered the patrols to increase the numbers of their trips, and began to gather his troops and lay siege to the Night Elves again.
“And on the side of Wind Forest, because of the ineffective siege, High Priestess Helena had gathered 5000 elves, and they will depart for the underground cavern tomorrow. They will combine forces with Borg and eliminate the Night Elves together…”
Mag put down the report in his hands with a grave expression. Sargeras had only returned to Chaos City yesterday, so this report should have just arrived. Michael and Rolan were indeed very sincere.
The Night Elves’ situation was worse than what Mag had expected. It seemed like Helena and Borg had reached a consensus to eliminate the Night Elves, an unstable factor, before the peace negotiation began.
Putting the urgent report aside, Mag continued to read the intelligence on elves. Soon, he came to a strength report on the Night Elves and the Wind Forest.
Even though the Night Elves had been expanding rapidly for the past one month, there were only about 1000 of them, and most of them were slaves with low combat power.
Most of the elves who were rushing to the underground cavern from all parts of Norland Continent were stopped in the midst of their journey by the Wind Forest’s elves. Those who managed to reach the vicinity of the underground cavern didn’t have the power to breach the lockdown to meet up with the Night Elves.
On the other hand, the Wind Forest had already sent out 10,000 elite troops to surround the underground cavern. Although they didn’t have an advantage of the terrain, they beat the Night Elves hands down when it came to the high-level combat power and the core force. If they decided to invade the underground cavern at all costs, the Night Elves would most likely be eliminated.
Mag pondered for a moment before he continued to read about the elves.
This set of information was very detailed and timely. The most recent intelligence was sent back last night. It told a very clear story of the current situation of the Wind Forest and the various feuds between the important people.
“Helena, this old hag, truly deserves to die…” Mag mumbled to himself after he put down the last piece of paper.
