Chapter 57 Public Security Bureau
Pollock raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that Wren would ask about the demon slaying team, and replied: "Our demon slaying team is a team under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau, and is only responsible for cases related to monsters and evil god believers, and there are not many tasks, but they are very dangerous. ”
"How dangerous is it?" Wren asked curiously.
His idea was that if he had the opportunity to join the demon slaying team, he could follow along and take the opportunity to absorb souls.
If it's dangerous, forget it.
Pollock took a few puffs of cigarette before he said in a deep voice: "The members of the demon slaying team, from the captain down, very few people can work for three years. ”
"You should also know that none of the cases related to evil gods or demons are easy to handle. If you are prepared in advance and then go to investigate the case, it is generally fine, what we are most afraid of is an unexpected situation like last night, and if you are not careful, the lives of the whole team will be lost. ”
"I've been part of the demon slayer team for seven or eight years, and I've seen three examples of the destruction of the team. ”
Pollock's face was solemn, as if he remembered the painful experience.
Wren was silent, a little hesitant to change his mind. He is only a first-level wizard now, and he may be very strong among the beginner-level transcendents, but when he encounters the middle-level and above, it is also a dead end.
Instead of deciding immediately, he asked a few more questions about the Demon Slayer team.
Pollock didn't hide it either.
There are a total of five demon slaying teams in Longshande, and the number of people in each squad is between five and eight, which is not fixed, and can be replenished at any time.
Ordinary team members are generally beginner-level transcendentals, the captain is intermediate-level, and there is a general captain above the five captains, who is a high-level transcendent.
Although the total number of demon slaying team is less than fifty, each of them is an extraordinary person, so his status in the security bureau is higher than that of the sheriff in charge of ordinary cases, even if the number of sheriffs is dozens of times that of the demon slaying team.
Because of the danger and special nature of the position, the demon slayer team does not need to go to work on time every day like a sheriff.
Only when there is a related case, the demon eradication team will call for action, or take turns to come out at night every few days to patrol, and the usual management is more relaxed.
Moreover, the salary of the demon slayer team is extremely high.
Entering the squad, the team members are paid twelve gold shields every month, not to mention a large bounty at the end of each mission.
Wren doesn't pay much attention to salary, he just wants to take the opportunity to absorb souls.
Pollock knew everything, he probably guessed that Wren wanted to join the demon slayer team, laughed, and said: "Wren, I don't know what your relationship is with Master Roger, but the demon slayer team is a good job, especially for young people who have just become transcendental, the salary is good, and you can also accumulate combat experience, which is good for your future." ”
"If we really encounter that kind of terrible enemy, no one asks us to fight hard, it is important to save our lives, and there will naturally be stronger people in Longshande City to deal with it. ”
"I just said that very few people can work for three years, not all of them sacrificed, but they took the initiative to quit and have a better development. ”
"If you're interested, I can recruit you into my squad. ”
Pollock is very confident in Rennes: "With your strength, the captain will definitely agree, you don't have to worry about this." ”
Wren nodded slightly.
He knew that each captain had the power to recruit members, but in the end, it was through the head captain of the demon slaying team who agreed to it.
In Longshande, if you want to quickly improve your strength, joining the demon slaying team is the best choice, and absorbing the souls of those monsters does not have any psychological burden.
Wren didn't hesitate any longer, got up and said seriously: "In the future, I will ask the captain to take more care." ”
"Good!"
Pollock was overjoyed and recruited strong teammates for his squad.
The two of them picked up their wine glasses, touched them, and drank them all.
Pollock thought for a while, and said a little impatiently: "You help me transfer the bounty to Master Roger, I will go back and report to the captain now, you are waiting for my news at the hotel, and it should be done in the afternoon." ”
"It's all up to the captain. ”
Wren nodded in agreement, thinking that Pollock was showing trust in himself.
Pollock handed the bag containing the golden shield to Wren and immediately left the inn. Wren returned to the yard to continue his workout, and when it was almost noon, Roger finally came out of the room, looking refreshed.
"Master Roger, this is last night's bounty. ”
Roger took the bag, opened it and glanced at it casually, and said, "Longshande's demon slaying team is quite generous, not as stingy as many cities, and you also have a share of this bounty." ”
With that, he turned around and went back, and soon returned with another bag and handed it to Wren.
Wren was not polite, he also contributed last night, this money was taken by himself with peace of mind, and after weighing a few times in his hand, there should be more than a hundred gold shields, which probably accounts for twenty percent of all the bounties.
"Master Roger, next time there is such a good thing, remember to call me. "He wants to come back a few more times now.
"Do you think vampire lairs are that easy to find?"
Roger snorted, shook his head and said, "It was not easy for me to find the clues, and I followed them for half a month to find their lair." Witchers aren't that easy to be, and you want to pick up a bargain next time, unless you give me a few monster lairs. ”
Wren's heart moved, he had the eye of the soul, maybe he could really find a few monsters, as well as the believers of the evil gods, and he could find at least seven or eight by sitting on the streets of the Rien district for a few hours.
"Cultist, is Master Roger interested?" he asked tentatively.
Roger glanced at Wren, thinking that he wanted to use the "Strife Mark" on his body to catch out the Shadow Blade Killer, and said lightly: "Don't fight this crooked idea, I don't want to provoke the evil god believers, they are different from monsters, killing them is not good for me." ”
"Okay. Wren sneered.
It seems that he can only wait until he enters the demon extermination team and use this identity to hunt down evil god believers.
Just after noon, Pollock returned and asked Wren to go with him to the sheriff's office.
Coming out of the Basil Hotel, Wren saw a car parked outside the door, with a conspicuous shield on its body, a sword crossed with a staff, and the letters of the Sheriff's name around it.
On both sides of the front of the car, there are two flags that also bear the mark of the Public Security Bureau.
There were many people pointing at the car, but no one dared to approach.
Anyone with a little insight knows that this is a special car for the Public Security Bureau, and it was a police car in the previous life.
The driver in the driver's seat was just an ordinary person, but his face was full of pride, and from time to time he swept over the poor people who were watching, and his eyes showed disdain and superiority.
"Get in the car. ”
Pollock said: "The captain is free today, he is waiting for you at the security bureau, in order to save time, so I will borrow the car from the bureau." ”
The two of them sat in the back seat, and the car immediately started.
The streets of the slum are very crowded, and even the buses are often blocked, but no one dares to gather in front of this car, and everyone avoids it, and the road out of the Rien district is unimpeded.
Wren saw the pedestrians outside the car who voluntarily separated like a tide, and secretly sighed that he had also enjoyed the treatment of a privileged class.
Pollock was used to this kind of thing, and he didn't care at all.
On the way, Pollock carefully inquired about Wren's origins, especially his beliefs.
Wren came from an innocent background, and the town of Eagle Swamp was not far away, so he could find out clearly in a day, he was a former student at Claydon College, and he had a detailed file in the city hall, which the Sheriff Bureau could call up at any time to check.
As for faith, everyone who enters the security bureau must go through a faith check so as not to mix with the believers of evil gods.
Wren has nothing to hide, he has been praying to the goddess of magic once a week recently, and he is considered a shallow believer in the goddess.
In the Empire, this is the most upright of faiths.
The car quickly pulled into Hornyton, the area where the Sheriff's headquarters were located.
According to Pollock, the Sheriff's headquarters was not located in the Silver Star District because it was not needed. There is a wizard tower in the Silver Star District that is constantly watching, and it is also the duke's secret fire guard station, and the defense force is the strongest place in Longshande, so it is not the turn of the security bureau to worry about it.
Soon after, the car entered a large hollow-shaped building in Honeyton and stopped downstairs in front of it.
Pollock got out of the car and said, "Follow me." ”
Wren followed him into the Sheriff's Office, through the wide hall, and into the inner area of the back.
"There are three main parts of the Security Bureau, the Security Force, the Patrol Team, and our Demon Slayer Team. Pollock introduced as he walked, "The patrol is the largest and well-equipped, but they are members of the Silver Knights, and they are only nominal in the Sheriff's Bureau, and they are usually stationed in the camp outside the city, and they are not seen here. ”
"There are about two thousand people in the security team, that is, the common sheriffs, scattered in the various sub-bureaus in the city, most of them are ordinary people, only the senior sheriffs are extraordinary, about two hundred. ”
"Then there's our demon slaying team, which usually gathers here when we have something to do. ”
Pollock led Wren into what looked like a martial arts training ground, with a three-story office building on one side and a sign hanging at the entrance that read Lonshande's Demon Slayer.
There are not many people in the building, only a dozen, judging by the heartbeat, there are both transcendent and ordinary people.
However, what caught Wren's attention the most was a stable-like place next to the training ground, and the roar of a beast could be heard from inside.
Pollock noticed Wren looking over there and explained, "That's the griffons that our demon slayer team has tamed, and we will only ride them to the scene when it is most urgent. ”
"Griffons?"
Wren was intrigued, he had heard of this famous beast.
Ehrenus has countless flying creatures, huge in size and incredibly powerful, but there are not many that can be tamed into mounts by humans, and the griffin is one of them, and it is a flying mount that can be domesticated on a large scale.
The empire has a griffin legion, which is the top elite legion in the human realm, established from the early days of the empire, and has made countless famous names.
"When you enter the demon slayer, you will also have a chance to ride the griffons, we were able to get there so quickly last night by riding them. ”
Pollock paused and sighed, "But in the Demon Slayer team, riding a griffin is not a good thing. ”
Wren understood what he meant.
Griffons can fly to the scene of an incident as quickly as possible, which means that if an emergency arises, there may be a great danger.
"Let's go, the captain is waiting for you in the office. ”
