Chapter 148: The Stalker
Seeing the supervisor's movements, the arrogant servant just now immediately changed his face, and he bent down in panic, his body shaking uncontrollably because of nervousness.
Although he had been here for a long time, he had never seen a supervisor so careful in flattering a client.
I didn't expect that document to be real! The hillbilly in front of me turned out to be a big man that this office couldn't afford to offend.
Jiwen was also slightly surprised to see the supervisor's reaction. Although Master Niels had told him before that the honorary membership of the Blacksmith Guild was an extremely noble honorary title, he didn't know the value of this title in the royal capital until today, at least for most ordinary elves, people with this title must not be offended.
Now the courtesy brought by this title made Jiwen very satisfied, he took the paperwork and put it away, and then asked.
"I have a commission, I don't know where to talk about it. ”
"No problem, please deign to come and sit in my office, please come here. The supervisor didn't straighten up, but turned around and guided him in front of him, like the lowest doorman in the office.
Givens followed the director into the inner hallway of the office, and as he passed the hapless servant, he noticed that his legs were shaking, and his hair and back were wet with beads of sweat.
Looking at his panicked appearance, Jiwen's anger just now also dissipated most of it, and he commanded casually.
"Don't punish the janitor, he's just doing his duty. ”
The Director nodded, and ushered the magnanimous man into his room.
In the director's office, after Jiwen had the honor of tasting the precious tea delivered by the store, after the tasting break, the director asked, "May I ask Mr. Copperbeard, what is your commission?"
"I was introduced to you, and I've heard that you often deal with the business of the Royal Summoning Society, such as repairing the building and cleaning. Givens asked tentatively.
"Yes, we've dealt with quite a few tricky things for the Academy. ”
The Director whispered in response, then secretly observed Jiwen's expression.
"That's good, I'd like to ask someone to clean up a building at the Royal Call Academy right now, it's a lot of work, and you may need to repair the doors and windows. "Given's straight to the point
"Which one is it?"
The director lowered his voice, he knew that if it was just an ordinary business, this big man would not choose this world to come alone.
Faced with the supervisor's question, Given's only then did he realize that he did not know the name of the building, and Adelia did not mention it just now. So he just said vaguely.
"It's the one that hasn't been cleaned for a long time. ”
The Director's eyes lit up suddenly, and his mind remembered the history of most of the buildings in the Royal Summoning Academy, and there was only one one that could satisfy this description.
This is the supervisor's heartfelt relief. It turned out that the big man's commission was this thing.
In the Royal Call Academy, only the mad professor's laboratory building fits the description, and rumors of the professor's curse have long since spread outside the gates of the academy.
I see, no wonder I came to commission it so mysteriously, the director couldn't help but think so.
But fortunately, this commission is not an illegal thing, so I don't have to worry about not being able to refuse. So he hastened to agree.
"Rest assured, it's a bit tricky, but we've got it covered. ”
"I want this to be as confidential as possible, and the people who clean it up must be absolutely reliable and not go around talking nonsense. Givan added.
"No problem. If you don't say it, we'll do it too. ”
Soon the director and Gilvin had discussed the details and the requirements for the repairs, and signed an agreement, and after all this was done, Givens suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have paid any deposit, so he asked.
"How much deposit is required for this commission?"
But the elven supervisor shook his head and replied respectfully, "Mr. Copperbeard, you are laughing. How will we take your deposit. After we complete the commission, you can just look at it and give some compensation. ”
"Oh. ”
Jiwen couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He now understood what a precious gift the Master Gaspar had given him that day in Sodima.
But what exactly did the old fox have in mind, and what did he want him to do in return? Maybe when I have time, I will go to the guild of the same industry in the royal capital, visit this old man, and ask him face to face.
After agreeing on this secret commission, Gilvin left the office with the congratulations of the clerks.
From the next day, the firm will arrange for people to quietly repair and clean Professor Morris's laboratory building, clean up the clutter, and repair the room. If it goes well, it will only take twenty or thirty days to renovate the building.
Seeing that the operation went well, Jiwen couldn't help but feel a little proud. He walked briskly across the street, turned into the academy gates, and walked to the auditorium where Adella was meeting, wanting to tell her the good news sooner.
But when Jiwen crossed the boulevard in the academy, a somewhat unusual scene came into Jiwen's eyes.
Several unicorn-drawn carriages stopped at a building in the middle of the woods, each with several elves in dark cloaks. These elves knew by their physique that they were athletic warriors or powerful summoners, but they kept themselves as hidden under cloaks and top hats as possible, leaving only their eyes exposed.
At first, Givens watched curiously as the elves were busy inside and outside the building, but after a moment, he felt an extra nervousness. Because he found that these mysterious elves had silver pins on their necklines and cuffs, and the ends of the pins were engraved with delicate patterns of oak leaves and swords.
They are the king's sword!.
How did these guys come to the Royal Call Academy, did they know the clues to Adella's background.
Thinking of this, Jiwen quickened his pace, hurried away from the king's swords, and hurried to the meeting place with Adella.
And just as Givan was gone, out of the building came a burly elf in the prime of life, with long white braids and a terrible wound on his chin. Of all the King's Swords present, he was the only one with his face exposed.
Because he is the High Inquisitor of the King's Sword, Bock. With his status, he no longer needs to work hard incognito, so he can make himself appear in the sun with dignity.
He's here today for a tricky case. And to figure out this case, you have to ask a tricky person.
"Is everything here cleared?" asked Bock.
One of his subordinates stepped forward and reported, "It's all surveyed,"
"Alright, leave a group of people to watch here all day, and we'll go meet that Professor Morris now. ”
With that, Bock stomped his foot, then got into the carriage, and a moment later, several carriages sped towards the old building where Professor Morris was.
