Chapter 158: Military Intelligence Section 6
"Detective, I shared my identity with you, which means I regard you as one of my own, do you understand? I will give you appropriate protection and help, and what you need is to do things for me. Of course, currently, it's just playing cards for me; after all... you can't do other things."
This was a very fair deal.
"Of course, my lady, it is my honor. Looking forward to our next cooperation."
Xia De answered according to the etiquette he learned this afternoon. Cooperating with such a reasonable high-level Ring Ringed Shushi was truly the best thing.
This was what his hometown called a "win-win," and it wasn't the other party winning twice, but both parties winning.
"【Founding · Silver Moon】's matter, you don't need to worry; no one will trouble you because of this card."
Miss Galina said again, paused, and asked Xia De:
"Since you won the victory for me, I have also obtained the two spots for naval transfers, so I naturally won't go back on what I promised you. What relic do you need? Describe it; as long as it's not too exaggerated and the level is below the Keeper level (Level 3), I think I can find it."
This sentence itself was a bit exaggerated. Xia De was very curious about what kind of stories and power the Witch Council had. But regarding the choice of relic, he had already thought about it:
"It has the function of extracting energy or similar entities—tangible or intangible—from a living organism itself, and then injecting it into the user's body. As long as it has this function, that is enough; whether it is the primary function, or whether there are severe consequences after use, these are not being considered for the time being."
Xia De had said this to Old John, who ran the pawnshop; this was the guarantee for obtaining the next drop of divinity.
"Similar to the 【Vampire Ring】 from last time? I think I know what I should give you. I need to prepare; before the end of next week, I will have Tifa send it to you."
Miss Galina said, and Xia De breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party could take out what he wanted immediately, he would be very worried that the other party had completely seen through his secrets. And with a new 【Relic】, next time he encountered an evil god, he could...
The voice in his head laughed.
"Ptooey, ptooey, why would I curse myself."
"And the matter of promising to introduce you to a part-time job... Tifa, go invite Mr. Dark Anluosi."
The black-haired maid walked out quietly from the room inside the study, and when she brushed past Xia De, she even gave him an inexplicable look.
Soon, that Mr. Anluosi followed Miss Maid into the room. This was also a guest participating in tonight's Gwent salon, with an ordinary figure, ordinary appearance, dressed ordinarily, everything was very ordinary, and he was shorter than Xia De. The only thing worth mentioning was that his eyes were very spirited, making the whole person look exceptionally shrewd.
"Mr. Hamilton."
Mr. Anluosi looked Xia De up and down and took the initiative to reach out to him. After the two shook hands, the former smiled in a fluent Tobesk accent:
"Very good, the palms are powerful, but there are no gun calluses. Judging from the palm marks, you should have done heavy labor for a long time in the past, but the force-exerting method and finger marks show that you often hold a pen recently."
Seeing Xia De looking at him in surprise, Mr. Anluosi introduced himself:
"I wasn't invited by Old Duke Lucas tonight; I was invited by Miss Galina. She said she wanted to introduce a good young man to me, and he is indeed very good."
"Then you are..."
Miss Galina inside the door also introduced:
"This is Mr. Dark Anluosi. He has a job that doesn't require you to do anything and can reasonably get paid. I considered your profession and living habits, and you will be satisfied with this job."
Mr. Anluosi nodded:
"Can you tell what I do? A hint: hiding in the dark, holding a firearm..."
Xia De raised his eyebrows, and a very reasonable answer popped out, but considering the identity inherited by the outsider, this answer was a bit too much of a joke:
"You are the Military..."
"... Intelligence Section 6's current director, Dark Anluosi. Although I have a title, you can just call me Mr. Anluosi usually."
Speaking of his profession, Mr. Anluosi's expression became slightly more serious.
"Hmm... hmm?"
Xia De believed that the expression on his face must be exceptionally brilliant at this moment, but he also believed that if Detective Sparrow could see this scene alive, the expression on his face should be even more brilliant.
"Detective, this is the job I introduced to you. Anluosi, no problem, right?"
Miss Galina said from inside the door, and the middle-aged man bowed slightly toward the inner door:
"Miss Galina, this is absolutely no problem. Guaranteed by you to have a clean background, being a detective himself, and also good at Gwent, this is simply the best agent for Military Intelligence Section 6."
He looked at Xia De again:
"If the appearance could be uglier, it would be better. The student temperament on you doesn't quite match the identity... no, rather, it's just right, not bad, not bad. This sense of dislocation in temperament is the most real. It's a pity, you are just hanging a name to take a salary."
He patted Xia De on the shoulder, seeing that the expression on Xia De's face was still a bit strange:
"Mr. Hamilton, is there any problem?"
"Problem... no, just... nothing."
He answered hesitantly, really not knowing what to say, while Mr. Anluosi introduced the treatment:
"You were introduced by Miss Galina, so skip the internship stage directly. You don't have to do anything, just remember to write a report regularly. Weekly salary 1 pound, no need to pay taxes..."
Not very high, but already quite okay, equivalent to an annual salary of 52 pounds.
"Monthly reimbursement quota 20 pounds."
Saying this, Mr. Anluosi blinked at Xia De, and Xia De suddenly realized that the big head was here. Calculated this way, the annual salary would approach 300 pounds.
If he wasn't a Ring Ringed Shushi and didn't plan to save money for the future, then this money would be enough for him to live a very dashing single life.
"I won't assign tasks to you; you just hang a name to take a salary. But remember to report tomorrow, pick up your service firearm, documents, and gun license. These processes still have to be gone through, to facilitate bookkeeping... oh, we don't have uniforms, so no need to pick up uniforms."
Saying this, he stuffed a note to Xia De. After confirming he saw the address clearly, he immediately snatched it back, then tore it up and ate it.
He ate it in front of Xia De.
After doing this, Mr. Anluosi waved his hand at him:
"You also have to understand, doing our line of work, one must be cautious. From now on, your contact point is this address, salary issued monthly. Although you don't need to do things, you can act outside in the name of Military Intelligence Section 6, just remember not to go too far."
Mr. Anluosi smiled, and only then did Xia De have a chance to speak:
"Yes, sir, of course."
He felt his throat was a bit hoarse.
"Remember to go directly to that address tomorrow, write each report seriously, and remember to add at the end: Therefore, I suspect this matter is related to the Southern Spy Case."
After speaking, he turned and left the room, not even giving Xia De a chance to chat with him.
This ordinary-looking gentleman was very decisive, and the enthusiasm for Xia De probably all came from Miss Galina's relationship. The outsider wouldn't naively think that he could easily win the favor of a senior kingdom intelligence officer.
But these were enough. ===== CHAPTER 159 =====
