Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 76 Turning in the Letters
Mystic Sea, the hinterland of the Sea of Elaeta.
After some wind and dust, Philip finally passed the teleportation journey from Fenris Station to the interior of the Mystic Sea, and came to the belly of the Mystic Sea.
Philip looked at the familiar scene around him with nostalgia, and smiled slightly, the mysterious sea was Philip's hometown.
Although the Soul Descendants used to come from all over the world, in the Age of Balances when the Council was established, most of the Soul Descendants in the world are now home to the Mystic Sea, after all, the Mystic Sea is the largest settlement of the Soul Descendants.
Of course, in addition to the mysterious overseas, there are also other large and small soul descendant settlements in the world, but most of the soul descendants in these settlements are in a safe corner, unlike the soul descendants of the mysterious sea, which have many soul descendant soul hunters scattered all over the world.
Originally, Philip had already arrived inside the Mystic Sea, so he could have slowed down and rested here.
However, given the importance of the letter, Philip decided to proceed through the portal to his headquarters in Ophelia.
After a short break and some exchange with the local working soul descendants, Philip entered the spatial portal and set off again.
... ...
Ophelia, the headquarters of the Mystic Sea Council.
The distance between the mysterious teleportation station and Ophelia was quite close, and Philip soon arrived at this huge city located above the sea and sky, and after proving the identity of the branch of the Soul Descendants, Philip quickly walked to Ophelia, and finally arrived in front of the headquarters of the Soul Descendant Council.
The council headquarters still stood in the center of Ophelia, its solemnity and awe, and a little reassuring at the same time, as if the huge complex in front of them could block and protect everything.
Despite the magnificence of the headquarters, Philip did not have much time to take his time, and Philip hurried into the council headquarters and arrived at the hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the council headquarters after a long journey.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It refers to the council department that is responsible for managing external affairs, including external communication and receiving information from the Soul Descent branches in various places.
Every Soulborn who is out on a mission or from a field branch is required to report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
At this time, the hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs happened to be crowded, and countless soul hunters applied for a certificate of going out at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, preparing to go out on a mission, and the crowd was full of people and lively.
Philip watched this scene helplessly, so he had to find a random place to sit down and rest, waiting for the reduction of personnel.
After a long time, Philip saw that the number of people was significantly reduced, so he hurriedly followed the team and stood behind and waited.
Time passed, and it seemed that most people simply applied for an out-of-office certificate and there was nothing time-consuming, so it was soon Philip's turn.
Philip glanced at the staff and shook his head with a little regret, it wasn't the Soul Descendant he knew.
It's a pity.
If the other party is someone you know, the letter you brought with you should be more valued, and the probability that the headquarters will decide to support the Clara branch is much higher.
Just like Philip had a good relationship with Anos, he was willing to send Anos's letter to the council headquarters by expedited means.
Philip stood in front of a staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and after a greeting of greetings, Philip carefully took out the letter he was carrying and handed it to the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The working Soul Descendant was originally unfazed, but when he saw the letter handed by Philip, he couldn't help but feel a little more surprised on his face.
It is rare for a courier to deliver a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, unless there is something important that needs to be reported to the upper echelons of the Parliamentary Headquarters.
"How do you need help?" asked the working Soulborn, smiling politely at Philip.
"There is a letter that I would like to be able to hand over to the Director of the Field Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. “
"This is a very important letter. ”
Philip said sincerely.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is divided into a number of divisions, headed by the head of the division, each of which is responsible for different specific affairs.
The Field Service is a dedicated office for foreign assistance or missions.
The staff couldn't help but smile, and the messengers who came here to deliver letters often said that their letters were more important, and hoped that the matter would be handled by us quickly......
However, judging from the soul aura of this soul descendant, the strength of this soul descendant is definitely not weak, and the content of the letter he values must be very important.
The Soul Descendant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs smiled politely at Philip before putting away the letter.
"Rest assured, I will deliver the letter to the Commissioner or the Commissioner's secretary on time. ”
In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Minister is the highest leader of the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Department, with an extraordinary position and strength, rich experience in soul hunting, and manages many outside soul descendants, usually only members of Parliament or the Speaker of Parliament can hold this position.
Below the minister, there are deputy ministers and secretaries to ministers, as well as some other positions such as the heads of various departments, etc., the status of these positions varies according to the situation, but these people often have the strength of at least ordinary soul hunters, and do not rely on positions, and the status of these people is absolutely extraordinary in terms of strength alone.
Correspondence from the Parliamentary Branch is usually received temporarily by the ordinary staff in the lobby of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who then forward them to the other persons concerned, or to the higher level of the correspondence or documents if they are of greater importance, and so on.
"Thank you then. Philip had to nod slightly, he knew that this matter was not urgent, and even if the letter was delivered here, it would be necessary to wait until the staff had completed their basic duty tasks and went to various places to submit the relevant documents.
"You're welcome. The Soul Spawn in the lobby of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs smiled slightly.
Philip immediately began to cooperate with the staff in the registration and other processes.
After the complete handover of the letters, Philip left the hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Wait a while longer, and come back in the evening, there will be a reply not so soon.
Philip thought.
... ...
Two hours later.
Council Headquarters, Field Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Office of the Director.
An elegant man with the temperament of a young scholar sat in his office.
The elegant man was handsome, blonde and blue-eyed, but his body was unexpectedly thin, and he seemed to be weak, but the young man's eyes were very firm, firm as a rock, and at the same time as steady as the mountains.
This person is the Chief of the Field Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Blonde Soul Snatcher and Soul Hunter, Adela Clarins.
Although he is young on the surface, Adela is actually middle-aged, and it is only under the influence of his soul that he is able to maintain his youthful and strong body.
Adela looked at the documents or letters handed in by his employees in front of him, and began a new round of daily work.
Adela was constantly flipping through the relevant documents or letters, approving or replying to them.
Until Adela turned to Anos's letter.
Adela slowly stopped, gently stroking the surface of the letter, her eyes resting on the letter's signature.
"Anos of the Night...... Adela whispered, "the ravens in the Death Knell Tower." ”
Anos, nicknamed "The Raven of the Death Knell Tower".
I didn't expect that you, who were still immature and reckless, have grown to this point...... If you don't have to be competitive and know how to apply for assistance, it's really much better than before.
Thinking of the stubborn and stubborn Anos back then, Adela couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Let me see how you are doing, brother.
It turned out that Adela was the senior brother who came from the same family as Arnos.
Adela whispered as she opened the sealed letter with smooth movements.
In addition to a few pieces of letter paper, the sealed letter contained a small black crystalline fragment.
Adela set aside the black crystal, and began to peruse the contents of the letter.
After reading the contents of the letter, Adela shifted his gaze to the "physical evidence" mentioned in the letter, the black crystal.
Adela picked up the black crystal, looked at it for a moment, then gently put the black crystal down, and began to prepare a reply to the letter with a blank face.
Adela put pen to paper quickly, and within a few moments she wrote a reply letter.
The content is roughly as follows.
"Read. ”
"For the time being, it is considered a Level 2 emergency. ”
"I'll be sending a professional dragon researcher to help. ”
In Adela's eyes, there was little evidence of a direct connection between the black crystals and the subspecies of black dragons, and Adela was not convinced by the words of an unknown Soul Craftsman (referring to Alice, who was skilled but not famous).
Adela couldn't be made to see it as a real emergency.
Therefore, Adela did not plan to go to "slay the dragon" himself (after all, only soul hunters of the Soul Hunter level and above can take on dragons).
Instead, it was decided to send an expert who studied dragons to Clara to confirm the situation.
"As a result, I still think highly of you this time...... Anos. Adela whispered, put down her pen, and put the paper in the envelope.
... ...
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was night.
Philip stopped wandering around the Mystic Sea and began to walk in the direction of the council's headquarters.
Philip didn't want to wait too long, and based on Philip's experience, Philip was sure that by this time the head of the Field Service should have read the relevant documents and completed the work, and there should be news in the past.
Philip hurried to the council headquarters.
... ...
I saw that the hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was sparsely populated at this time, and most of the soul descendants had already left, leaving only some of the personnel on duty still staying in the hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Philip approached the staff who had stayed in the lobby and asked them for a response from the Field Service.
The staff member was not the Souldescend who had hosted Philip last time, but the Souldescend still showed a high level of quality: the Soulscent took out a sealed letter after a quick check, and politely handed it to Philip.
"Thank you. Philip hurriedly thanked him, and after confirming that the letter was correct, he hurried away with it.
Anos must have been waiting at the Voyager bar for a long time, so don't let him wait too long.
Philip thought to himself.
Based on what Philip knew about Anos, there was a good chance that Anos would do this.
After all, Anos is not the kind of person who asks others to take a break by himself.
... ...
Atlanta, the neutral kingdom of Norris, Clara.
There is a considerable time difference between Clara and the Mystic Sea, and I saw that Clara was setting at sunset, the light and shadow were dappled, and the light appeared a little dim, but the dimness was quickly dispelled by the light of Clara's special kerosene lamp.
Although it was approaching evening, as Philip had guessed, Anos remained at the "Voyager" bar, waiting for Philip's arrival.
Anos sat as a tree for a long time.
Then Anos suddenly raised his eyebrows and raised his head slightly.
He sensed Philip's breath.
Anos stood up abruptly, his eyes on the interior of the bar.
I saw a young man walk briskly out of the bar, waved his hand at Anos from a distance, and walked towards Anos.
It's Philip.
Facing Philip, who had finally rushed back, the corners of Anos couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a rare faint smile.
"Welcome back, hard work. ”
