259. Sure enough, it leaked
() In other words, even if this mission is completed, Annie will not be able to change back.
"Miss, we are all here, please be patient for a moment." As the only attendant following her in her memory, Anne could still hear a few words and immediately became quiet, but the dissatisfaction in her eyes was no longer concealed.
.
Wearing a clean handkerchief and tidying up the folds on her skirt, Mr. Shan positioned himself in the role of a "loyal servant" and performed very well.
From time to time, when Shan Ye touched Annie's body with his big hands, the little girl secretly gave her a few flirtatious looks. She even reached out and touched Shan Ye a few times when the coachman wasn't paying attention.
The surliness of the nobility, the insanity of the nobility, the elegance of the nobility
Just like programming, the Anne in front of Master Shan has completely transformed into a standard noble.
The waiting time was not long, and soon more than a hundred cavalrymen slowly surrounded the carriage.
A regimental commander wearing feathers on his head and light armor with steel patterns rode his horse up to the two of them. He stood up and dismounted gracefully, and there was a "clack" sound from behind him. More than a hundred cavalrymen almost used the same weapon.
The posture, all dismounting, looks very impressive.
"Gah~!Gah~!" As the light armor moved, the tendon and stomach joints twisted, making bursts of tough sounds. The steel boots on the feet stepped on the ground, leaving obvious footprints.
Lifting up the delicate visor, a neatly groomed middle-aged face was revealed. The outlines were clear, the lines were strong, and the strong figure attracted Annie's gaze like a magnet.
There is a bit of green short beard on the chin, coupled with the hint of worry between the eyebrows, it is simply a girl killer.
His eyes lingered on Anne for a moment, and the legion commander immediately touched his chest and bowed: "My beautiful lady, may I ask your name." His voice was neither humble nor overbearing, and seemed elegant and majestic.
Anne also returned a noble lady's salute. Unexpectedly, a smile appeared on her face: "Dear Legion Commander, my name is Anne Mavey."
Hearing this, the legion commander also had a slight smile on his face: "Now there are some minor troubles in Ma Wei's territory. I wonder if Your Excellency Anne can provide evidence to prove your identity?"
When Anne heard this, a flash of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she still took out an old family emblem from her sachet and handed it to the legion commander.
The legion commander took the family crest and looked at it slightly, then bowed again and said apologetically: "Please allow me."
Annie frowned and stretched out her delicate arms, with a hint of impatience on her brows.
A ball of light red fighting flames lit up in the legion commander's hand, and slowly poured into the family emblem. The family emblem was poured into fighting spirit, and a small hidden needle immediately popped out.
A hint of apology flashed through those beautiful blue eyes again. The legion commander gently pricked Anne's arm with a fine needle and took a drop of bright blood. The needle quickly absorbed the blood drop. After a moment, there was a faint light.
Flashing by, the pattern on the family crest floated and flashed, confirming Anne's identity.
After wiping the family emblem clean, the legion commander's eyes were full of smiles: "I'm so sorry, Miss Anne, for making you feel wronged."
Anne took back her family crest. A trace of relief flashed across her pretty face. Although she was certain that she was the legal heir of the Marvey family, for some reason Anne always had a trace of worry and fear in her heart.
But soon, the worry and fear were dissipated by the proof of legal identity, and completely disappeared from Anne's heart.
The family emblem is made by the royal family. It not only represents a family, but is also the best way to prove the purity of blood.
The person who instills energy and the tester must not be the same person. This eliminates most possibilities of counterfeiting and disguise.
After confirming Annie's identity, the Legion Commander immediately became enthusiastic. He personally escorted Annie and took Shan Ye into the blockade.
After the two were settled, Mr. Shan was interrogated and investigated individually.
A loyal attendant who has always followed Sister Anne and taken care of them. He has no professional level, no energy fluctuations, and is just an ordinary person.
As for why Anne was able to maintain her aristocratic life and the origins of Shan Ye, they were all blamed on that damn old man.
It is impossible for the empire and the Holy See to investigate a dead person, so they can only temporarily put aside their suspicions about Master Shan.
At the same time, lie detection and evil detection were also released on Anne silently. When the Vatican Cardinal left Anne's room with satisfaction, Anne's identity as the sole heir of the Marvey family was completely determined.
With this legitimate identity, Anne was immediately treated as a guest of honor.
The drunken Anne was served by the maid back to her temporary residence, and shouted loudly for Master Shan to help her change clothes and take a shower.
Everyone had long been accustomed to the aristocratic style and extravagance, so they immediately found Mr. Shan, who had been ignored.
Being drunk and having her identity legally protected, Annie started to make moves on Mr. Shan who was helping her change clothes.
Mr. Shan sighed softly and finally complied with Miss Anne's legal request to "sleep with him".
After a desolate night, Mr. Shan tidied up and left quietly.
The next day, with the legal heir, the imperial coalition forces immediately advanced towards Mawei's territory. Under the banner of "Combating rebellion and safeguarding the interests of the nobility!", the imperial army of 3,000 people and the Holy See coalition army of 500 people,
Let’s move towards the city lord’s palace in Ma Wei’s territory together.
Unfortunately, when we arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, the building was already empty.
Without hesitation, everyone rushed towards the rich magic stone ore hidden in the mine.
When the large army surrounded the rich magic stone mine, they discovered that a large-scale mining and processing workshop had already been established here.
In the workshop, a large amount of gravel was piled randomly on the ground, and it seemed that it had been in operation for a long time.
In a small house behind the workshop, a large number of corpses were piled up here. Next to it was a teleportation magic circle that exploded into pieces. Apparently the other party had already made arrangements.
"Sure enough, it was leaked!" Looking at the wreckage on the ground, the Legion Commander and Cardinal Archbishop had very ugly expressions.
The real purpose of this siege against Ma Wei's territory was not the rich ore, but to see if the refining technology that only the Flower Bird Empire had mastered had been leaked.
"Immediately report this news to His Majesty the Emperor, and thoroughly investigate the research team and those who come into contact with them." The legion commander gave a few orders with a cold face, and walked out of the hut with his sleeves rolled up.
The investigation team behind immediately began to carefully collect the information that had not been destroyed and the whereabouts of the teleportation magic circle.
After leaving the hut, the legion commander led his men and several Holy See priests into the rich mine.
The so-called bonanza is only an area the size of a football field.
There were green steel stones everywhere on the surrounding cave walls. He reached out and grabbed a chisel, and the legion commander chiseled into a hard green steel stone with just his physical strength.
"Collapse~!" Large cracks appeared in the green steel stone instantly, and it was chiseled down again. A huge piece of green steel stone was easily chiseled off.
Picking up the piece of blue steel stone, the Legion Commander's gloomy face finally showed a hint of relief: "Yes, it is indeed a rich mine. It makes those bastards cheaper."
Due to the development of new ways to use magic stones, magic stones have become very popular among the top management of the Flower Sparrow Empire recently.
If such a rich mine were to be fully mined, it would be a huge gain.
The legion commander glanced at the chaplain with the army, and a touch of greed flashed in his eyes: "Maybe it's time to have a good talk with Miss Anne." Rubbing a magic stone that had just solidified in his hand, the legion commander murmured in a low voice.
The task entrusted to him by the empire has been completed, and then it is time to seek some benefits for himself. What's more, Anne has no backer. If she doesn't take action at this time, she will be struck by lightning.
Just as he was thinking about it, the proud little peacock had walked in with that annoying attendant. After all, this was the territory of the Mawei family. Even if a rich mine appeared, even if the emperor wanted to occupy it, legal procedures would have to be followed.
The legion commander is a sixth-level fire warrior at the peak, but for some reason, when he sees Shan Ye, this loyal servant, he always feels that something is wrong.
There was no energy response in his body, and his appearance was very strange. Everything was just as explained, it was the back-up arranged by Annie's ghost father.
Looking away from Shan Ye's handsome face, the legion commander threw away the chisel, patted the rust on his palm casually, and walked towards Viscount Anne as if his face was covered with honey.
Anne didn't know the value of this magic stone rich mine in her territory to her. But Master Shan once said that it would be good for herself not to sell the magic stones easily now, but to hoard them.
After inspecting the magic stone mine, everyone returned to the castle. As for the magic stone mine, it was temporarily closed on the grounds that "there are enemy traces and traces left behind".
In fact, at this period, as long as the information is not too secluded, the nobles have basically felt that the empire is bound to obtain the magic stone veins. As long as smart people still want to maintain their noble status, they will basically use the magic stone mining rights in the territory to cheaply
Sold to Empire.
Almost every nobleman, big or small, who voluntarily sold the magic stone veins was personally received by His Majesty the Emperor, which was a great honor. Not only that, every lord who sold the mining rights was completely exempted from the law for many years to come.
In addition to paying taxes, there was even a large amount of property from unknown sources.
Coupled with the fact that the empire acted very quickly, some well-informed families did not even react. The domestic magic stone veins were basically acquired by the empire's senior officials.
Only mines like the Mawei family that are hidden and unknown to outsiders can survive.
At the celebration party, the legion commander removed his armor and stomach and transformed into a handsome middle-aged man, which fascinated Anne.
The loyal servant who had been taking care of Anne was sent out by Anne to clean up the castle and some trivial matters.
In a somewhat damp basement, a handsome young man was directing the servants and sorting out the things inside. Various vegetables and idle items that were easy to store, as well as many armors and swords from unknown sources, were basically completely rusted.
Look.
