Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 326 The Knowledge of Intelligence Investigation

"It's been a long wait, Miss Gallia. Please allow me to thank you on behalf of my two students."

Going up to the second floor of the store, Alina quickly took two students and saw the "Freedom Cornerstone" of the "Sky Scholars" organization again under the guidance of the waiter.

Of course, both she and Ives knew very well that at this moment in front of Natalie, they had to express the verbal gestures of contacting each other for the first time to prevent Natalie from noticing the nature of the invitation. , and think of more.

"I am also very happy to meet you, Lord Suzuran, and I am honored to see you so open-minded in the current gloomy environment."

Faced with the impeccable etiquette of the leader of the sage assistants, Salister also understood and did not reveal the fact that the two parties had met, and returned the gift solemnly.

"If you can think of it that way, that's great."

Alina calmly continued to smile in response.

"Well, let's get straight to breakfast."

While talking, Salister called the waiter to bring three menus, and asked the waiter to hand these three menus to the three people one by one.

Natalie took the menu carefully, but instead of symbolically selecting one or two of her favorite dishes as usual, she looked at the menu in her hand with a slightly vacant look, waiting for the meal-starting process to end.

"Miss Arinor, is this Miss Arinor?"

However, her thoughts were quickly noticed by the young lady sitting opposite them who seemed very easy to get along with.

"Yes, yes...! What's the matter?"

Although she was surprised that the other party knew her name without ever meeting her, Natalie still realized that the current environment was not suitable for asking those questions, so she tried hard to hold the menu in her hand tightly and tried to start from it. The person above looked back and asked.

"You can feel free to eat whatever you want. It doesn't matter. You don't have to be polite to me." Seeing that the girl was still a little surprised and confused, Salister couldn't help but smile gently and explained in detail, "Actually, before coming here, I I heard Master Maxwell mentioned your situation, so I thought of choosing such a quiet place to meet you. But until I actually met you, I didn’t know that Lord Suzuran of the Wind had also come to Saili Sub-town.”

"excuse me, you are?"

Finding that the other party seemed to know Master Haitang, Natalie couldn't help but relax her vigilance a little, but she still couldn't guess the possible identity of the other party.

"I am a friend of Master Maxwell's former tutor. I originally wanted to formally meet you at the seminar. Unfortunately, unfortunately, I haven't run into you for so many days."

Sallysette said words that couldn't be more true.

Her words seemed to be explaining her identity to Natalie, but in fact she was secretly telling the other two people about the participation of all the people involved in the investigation.

"So this is ah…"

Natalie originally wanted to confirm the authenticity of the matter with Master Haitang, but found that such an inquiry would make the lady opposite her very embarrassed, so she gave up the above idea and sighed with some realization.

"So, Miss Arinor, please don't be polite to me. Take a look at the food above."

With that said, Sallysette took the initiative to introduce Natalie to this store's special breakfast.

For example, special drinks made from morning dew, fresh honey, and fruit pulp, or wheat bread and pies made with special magic. These are relatively fresh and delicious foods, and they match the pictures drawn on the menu. , Natalie's attention was quickly attracted, and with the encouragement of the other three people present, she chose a piece of sliced ​​toast and the dew scented tea highly recommended by the lady opposite. “So, where are Lady Suzuelle and Master Maxwell?”

After helping Natalie write down the corresponding food, Salister then looked at the other two people and asked curiously.

"I want these two."

While speaking, Alina lightly picked up the pen on the table and checked a cup of hand-ground coffee and an entry for pumpkin pie.

"Ok."

The waiter on the side quickly wrote down these two requirements.

Seeing that both of them had chosen their favorite food, Ives did not delay any further and quickly checked out a staple food and a drink.

In this way, the three people's breakfast was officially settled, but Ives did not relax his vigilance. He kept paying close attention to the movements on the other side, trying to find something special in the other party's words and deeds.

Unfortunately, until they returned to the hotel after breakfast, they failed to receive the information submitted by the other party, which made Avis very puzzled.

Although he knew that Miss "Freedom Cornerstone" could not leave information openly, he did not think that the other party would waste that precious time just to have breakfast with them.

"Of course she won't waste time having breakfast with us if it's not necessary."

As if aware of his doubts, Alina, who had just made an excuse to come to Ives's room, immediately gave him some hints with an unknown smile.

"Then what information did she reveal just now? Senior, can you tell me in detail?"

Recalling the details of their previous breakfast, Ives regretfully found that he still failed to grasp the true purpose of the 'freedom cornerstone' choosing to meet at that time.

"Avis, do you know how to collect intelligence?"

However, unexpectedly, Alina mentioned something that had little to do with their investigation.

"Pretend and observe."

Combining the impression given to him by Sallysette, Avis quickly gave what he thought was the answer.

"Indeed, without excellent camouflage skills and observation skills, it will be difficult for us to collect useful intelligence," Alina first gave a positive answer, but before the young man showed a relieved expression, she changed the subject, " But after all, this is not the core method we use to investigate intelligence."

"What about the core method? Do you know what it is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Avis, who originally thought of just listening, was uncontrollably attracted to his attention.

"It's the use of resources," Alina gave the answer concisely and clearly. Seeing that the young man was still a little confused, she explained patiently, "The so-called use of resources does not require you to come up with something useful at the beginning. Instead of exchanging intelligence with others at equal value, they use things around them that do not require payment to obtain and disseminate information to the greatest extent without anyone being aware of it. Just like the breakfast just now, do you think Sally is not aware of it? Leaving no information, it wasn’t, the clue was in that breakfast, in the restaurant she chose, in the menu of breakfast alternatives she introduced to Natalie.”

After finishing the sentence, you can see the obvious expression of astonishment and shock on Avis's face again...
