On the other side, on the rooftop, away from the city center.

Alexei, who was trying to sort out his chaotic thoughts, sat on the edge of the rooftop, looking at Frank who appeared in the middle of the snow out of thin air, and a wry smile appeared on his face, well, he decided to give up thinking about the principle of such an unscientific event for the time being.

Anyway, enough had happened tonight, even if the other party said he was a wizard, he believed it.

"To put it simply, I'm a wizard, let's say ......"

Frank looked Alexei in the eye and said with a serious expression.

The young wizard said, raising his wand and tapping it lightly on the middle-aged researcher's twisted glasses.

"It's back to normal. ”

With a slight crackling sound, the glasses, which had previously been damaged by American intelligence officers during the scuffle, were restored to their original state.

“......”

Alexei picked up his glasses and looked at them carefully, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he put them back on and did not speak.

"That...... If you can, maybe make me ......."

Frank glanced at Alexei, whose nose was still dripping blood, and pointed to the wand in his hand, showing a friendly smile, although he was not good at healing, but he could still heal this small injury.

Alexei looked at the small wooden stick in Frank's hand, and his eyebrows twitched, making an urn-like sound.

"Thank you. ”

With the sound of a strange incantation, he felt the pain in his nose lessen a lot.

Touching his nose with some curiosity, Alexei turned his head and looked at Frank calmly.

"Well, now you can explain to me what you wizards want from me, after all, judging by the current situation, you didn't intend to reveal your identity - say, your request. ”

"Originally, according to the work regulations in the manual, I should not have extended another invitation to you today, but since this has happened, I think it may be possible to try again, and we hope that you will accept our employment and participate in the subsequent scientific work and some of the educational work that may be required...... Of course, that's ...... later."

Frank swallowed and said with some nervousness.

As he spoke, the young Destiny intern took out a crumpled letter from his bosom with strange tick marks on the back and handed it to Alexei.

Although the seal appears to be intact, it appears to have been removed several times from the paper.

"By the way, this is a letter of recommendation from Mr. Makarov, the director of the Nikolaev shipyard, you can see, we are not like the Americans, the British, and most of the non-magical bureaucratic governments, we are not for war and hegemony. ”

“...... Makarov of the Black Sea? Heh, I didn't expect you to convince him. ”

Alexei raised an eyebrow, took the envelope, didn't rush to open it, and asked after a moment of silence.

"In addition to me, you also contacted those researchers, and everyone has someone like me who is in charge?"

"There are some who are, some of them are in charge of a few by one person, and it seems that I know of Mr. Valerianović, Mr. Chomochka, Ms. Arkhipovna, Ms. Bobosha and others...... After all, not everyone is like you, well......"

"Difficult, stubborn?"

Alexei grinned, followed Frank's words indifferently, looked at the brilliant city lights in the distance, sighed slowly, and said with some emotion.

"The stubborn old man of the USSR Academy of Experimental Physical Sciences, the madman of the Skelov Institute of Mathematics, the strong woman of the Landau Institute...... You are trying to wipe out all the top people of our time in one fell swoop - with these people, it is enough to build most of the complete scientific and technological system of the former Soviet Union from scratch. ”

"Well, actually, as far as I know, most of them are just like you...... Well, more stubborn. ”

Frank scratched his cheek with some embarrassment and said with some frustration.

"At present, it seems that the old people from the All-Russian Institute of Biological Research and the Mendeleev Research Institute have agreed to the invitation, and most of the rest are still in contact for the time being......"

"So, what exactly are you going to let us do?"

Alexei raised his hand, interrupted Frank's words, and asked with some curiosity.

"I mean the specific work, the study of nuclear bombs, or nuclear power? It's not like the Americans, let's look at the door, right? After all, that's all we old guys can do......

"Actually, I don't know ...... about this."

Frank reluctantly spread his hands and looked into Alexe's eyes and replied.

"I've only been tasked with keeping you safe during this time, while trying to persuade you to join our Destiny Group's potato retail store for basic cashier and sales work. Even the contract has to be signed there. ”

"Dirt, potato shop?!Let's go as salesmen and cashiers?"

Alexei repeated in disbelief with a look of eccentricity on his face.

"That's right, alas......"

Glancing at Alexei's reaction, Frank sighed silently in his heart, according to his usual experience, the topic has reached this position, and it is almost over, and he has to erase his memory again and prepare for the next communication.

If you count the notes on the envelope, there have been almost a hundred times since January, right?

So, next...... Is it the 101st time?

After a moment of silence, Alexei glanced at the cold bread sticks placed on the edge of the rooftop, subconsciously pushed the intact glasses on the bridge of his nose, and whispered thoughtfully.

That is to say...... Your permission can only be stopped when you go to the potato shop, and the rest of the content will be explained in detail by a higher level of responsibility, but once I accept this invitation, it's not so easy to withdraw?"

"Yes. The young wizard nodded again, his wand tightened.

"In that case, I agreed, and take me to work at that potato shop tomorrow. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know much more...... What do you say?"

"After all, from tomorrow onwards, I will also be just an ordinary unemployed. After the news of the closure of the institute came out, Natasha and the others must not be able to hide it, I have to find a way to find a new job, right?"

Alexei stood up, picked up the bread bag beside him, pursed his lips, and said with a pretended lightheartedness.

"If someone like you can be involved in this kind of work, then there are only two possibilities - first, you have an extremely powerful force behind you, second, your organizer is a naïve idealist, of course, or both......"
