19 The Night Watchman
Night's watchman......
In the folklore of the Farran Empire, the Night's Watch was accompanied by darkness, and they silently guarded humans, suppressed dark creatures, and protected humans from sleeping peacefully in the dark.
However, because they have the bloodline of dark creatures, it is easy to get out of control and fall.
The Fallen Night Watch are the most terrible creatures of darkness and will bring disaster to humanity.
So, they live in isolation.
The Night's Watch is so mysterious and has a contradictory self-conflict that it has become the protagonist of various legends.
Comic World, the largest comic book publication in the south of the French Empire, has been serializing the story of the Night's Watch for three years, with many readers, and Ryan knows of several Night's Watch fans.
Now, how can I be one of them?
Ryan sat in a chair, across a desk, and on the other side of the desk, Tess was busy talking, looking through the drawers with her head down, and it was with her that Ryan realized that he had joined the Night's Watch.
"Found it!"
Tess looked up and smiled at Ryan.
Compared with the first meeting, her smile was a little more angry, not as stiff as the beginning, her green eyes narrowed slightly, like a sponge rippling, and the cold commercial atmosphere on her face had dissipated.
"It's been a long time since anyone has been hired, and I almost forgot where to put the onboarding report. ”
A report was placed in front of Ryan with a table on it.
Name, place of origin, age, gender......
A report that was similar to the one on Aqua Star, along with which came a pen, and then, Tess brought the ink to Ryan and put it in his hand.
"Fill out this form, and ask me if you don't understand. ”
Everything is normal, just like a normal onboarding procedure.
"The Night's Watch ......"
Ryan looked down as he filled out the report, and Tess said to herself.
Or usually few people talk to her, but at this point, Tess talks a lot, and she likes to ask questions and answer questions without waiting for Ryan to answer.
The night watchman is actually a public office.
The real name is the Seventh Division of the Ministry of Security of the French Empire, also known as Iris, the so-called night watchman, but the agent of the Seventh Division, specializing in solving mysterious cases, chasing monsters, and protecting humans from mysterious existences.
Any agent must be extraordinary.
In this way, you will also be able to come into contact with the mysterious world.
A world of supernatural laws and mysterious powers, a world full of unknowns, a world that will not be boring if you are willing to take risks......
Of course, this is also a dangerous world.
Tess tells her story of her father, an agent who was fatally injured in a mission and died in the line of duty, and as a child of the family, she was taken care of and came to Albert's cleaning company.
Her work is divided into two parts.
The first part is naturally cleaning the daily running of the company, receiving business, and getting paid, and the other part is what she is doing now, doing some copywriting for the agents, and at the same time, paying everyone and something.
She also said that Ryan is not really an agent yet, and now, just an intern.
He also needs to systematically learn some knowledge, undergo some training, and then, perform several missions, pass some tests, and finally, have a chance to cross that gate and become a true transcendent.
However, even for apprentices, the pay is very good.
One gold louis plus room and board are free, which is Ryan's monthly salary and benefits during the apprenticeship.
One gold louis is equivalent to 10,000 yuan, which is more than the low-level civil servants of the municipal government, and Lonzo Bell's monthly salary is only one gold louis, and there is no room and board. Mr. Devon has worked in the Williams Trading Company for decades, and is still the director of the trading company, and his current monthly salary is only two gold louis.
If he can survive the apprenticeship and not die, once he becomes a real agent, even if he is the lowest-level one-star agent, Ryan's monthly salary will be increased to three gold louis, which in a way, exceeds the income of most ordinary people.
Although Ryan doesn't value money, he also knows how important it is.
In the earth world, money is a symbol of power.
In this world, money naturally does not fully represent power, but it is also a kind of power, and here, the saying that the economic base determines the superstructure is somewhat inappropriate, but it is not a fallacy.
Just like the water blue star, the rise of industrial society, the collapse of the feudal aristocracy based on agriculture, assets have become a powerful force, in that case, there is no extraordinary power of the Holy See will also decline, even if people still have faith, religion is only psychological comfort, the vast majority of people, they only believe in money, the world has become a hedonistic flashy world.
This world is different from Aqua Blue Star because of the existence of extraordinary powers.
Strength is the basis that determines the superstructure.
However, power also requires money.
To become an extraordinary, you need to consume a lot of weird materials, and those who have no money can only watch, no matter how talented you are, it is useless.
Don't look at Ryan's monthly salary with a high income of gold louis, it is just a drop in the bucket when used in cultivation, if he wants to become an extraordinary, just the auxiliary materials for entry are worth more than a hundred gold louis, and he must work for several years before he can save enough.
On his own, the flowers have long been grateful!
"It's just a job, don't think too much about it. ”
Tess looked over Ryan's completed form and looked at it carefully.
When she found that there was nothing wrong with her, she picked up a stamp, stamped a red stamp at the bottom right of each page of the report, and kept it in a folder and placed it in a drawer.
Then, she stood up and held out her hand.
"Ryan Charr, welcome to the Seventh Division of the French Empire's Ministry of Security, and now, we are colleagues!"
Ryan smiled and shook Tess's hand.
After that, Tess takes Ryan up to the second floor.
The layout of the second floor and the first floor is the same, and there are thirteen rooms, except that these rooms are not offices, but dormitories for trainee agents, one for each person, of which, eight rooms have masters, and five rooms are empty, these five dormitories, Ryan can choose at will.
In other words, there are only eight trainee agents in the Iris Lans City branch now.
A branch, so few trainee agents?
What about real agents?
And how many?
Ryan couldn't go up to the third floor, and there was a door at the top of the stairs on the second floor, a heavy iron door that was closed.
Where is it?
Ryan asks Tess, who laughs but doesn't answer.
She told Ryan that it was still a forbidden area for Ryan now, and that he was not allowed to enter the third floor unless Ryan passed the internship and became a real agent, of course, the specific situation on the third floor, Tess did not say.
She said she didn't know about it and never went in.
What's there, exactly?
The question flashed through Ryan's mind.
