Pedestrians come and go on Golden Rose Street, and the sunset sets the rooftops with snow.

"Da! Da!"

The horses' hooves sounded rhythmically, and Joyce, who was in the carriage, ignored the three women sitting in the carriage and looked at the slave contract issued by the War Depository.

Compared to the calm gray-haired woman, and the woman with slave marks on her face, the slightly darker-skinned woman was obviously nervous.

"What a price, this field doctor and female escort are both twenty gold. Joyce sighed inwardly.

"The Star Luo Empire to the north of the Rosen Empire is a little far away, except for the War Repository Workshop's claim that this female slave named Mia Vadera is a prisoner of war, there is no other information, what is the matter with the three broken secret sources in her body?" Joyce just thought silently, and did not look at the gray-haired woman.

"Qi Guizhi, a field doctor, this name should be a pure person from the Apocalypse Empire, looking at her lean figure, even if she is not as good as the female slave girl of the Xingluo Empire, she should have some force. Joyce packed the three slave contracts into her purse.

As for Sancho Turner, a slightly darker-skinned woman, Joyce didn't pay much attention to her.

"Wait for me in the carriage and go into the reception if you have something. ”

The carriage stopped on the side of the street outside the military reception office, and Joyce said to the three girls before he went down.

This time he went to Prisoner Street to buy slaves, and Joyce did not choose a female pharmacist and a female nurse.

"Suzu!"

The doorbell rang at the MI reception, and Elena, who was sitting at the long cast-iron table, looked up to see Joyce.

"It's back. ”

Elena looked unnatural and greeted Joyce.

"I found a place to live outside, and I won't go back to the bungalow if there's nothing to do, so it's more convenient. Joyce didn't mention taking the little girl to the Radiant Church.

"Yarlin has looked for you before. ”

Elena was stunned for a moment, and then her expression was slightly resentful.

"Is it about filling out the promotion form?"

Joyce glanced at Elena, inquiring.

"Promoted from junior sergeant to mid-rank sergeant, mine has been filled, and the monthly salary can almost rise to fifteen gold luo in the future. Elena gave a clear answer.

"Leave the affairs of Borg Zinedin's family alone, it will only cause us problems. Joyce reminded Elena solemnly, who nodded.

"Have you been in any unusual situations for the past two days?"

Joyce was concerned about the inquiry, afraid that if she did not return to the bungalow, there would be something missing.

"Luckily, I'm safe with Teressa. ”

Elena had understood what Joyce meant, and she wanted to make good use of Teresa as a bodyguard.

"I'll go first, and I still have some things to arrange when I move outside. Joyce got up and left, not telling him where he lived.

After getting out of the reception and getting into the carriage, seeing that the three female slaves were fairly stable, Joyce asked the coachman to go to Herb Street.

It was getting dark, and when the carriage drove to Rupert's herb shop at 56 Herb Street, the lights were already in the courtyard.

Looking at the two stone lions outside the door of the brass nails, Joyce smiled and motioned for the darkened slave girl Sancho Turner to knock on the door.

Not long after the woman stepped forward and slapped the knocker, the two copper-nailed doors were already whimpering open.

"Sir is back. ”

A young girl in a cloth jacket and cotton coat saw Joyce and hurriedly let him go to the house.

Striding through the door with three female slaves, Joyce could see smoke coming from the boiler room and the back stove by the light in the courtyard.

"What's your name?"

Joyce asked with satisfaction about the girl with a dirty cloth and cotton gown.

"Leilani Little. ”

The girl responded generously, not paying close attention to the three female slaves that Joyce was carrying.

"Haven't eaten yet?"

Bernice Matildel came out of the medicine hall and asked Joyce softly with a smile on her face.

"I bought three female slaves in the War Repository Workshop today, and you can teach them later. Joyce walked through the medicine hall and went to the courtyard at the back.

"I didn't have my mother arranged, Leilani Little has been with me for three years, she's a nurse. Bernice Matildel helped Joyce take off her coat in the courtyard of the courtyard.

"As long as the servant is obedient, don't be harsh, those three female slaves, one is a field doctor, can help you a little, the one from the Xingluo Empire can let her be a guard, and the rest let her do some chores. Arriving at the bathroom, Joyce said as she washed her hands.

"If that's the case, the herb shop can be open. "Bernice with black hair is very gentle.

"Running this herb shop, I mainly want to explore the alchemy sequence, do it first, and try not to spread the things here. Joyce had the idea of asking the girl to help.

Because of the relationship between the boiler burning, when I came to the wing, there was no longer the cold before, but quite warm.

"I made miso fish soup. ”

The plump girl helped Joyce fill a small bowl of fish soup and put a lamb chop in his rice bowl.

"Sit down together. ”

Joyce looked at the leafy greens on the dinner table and thought it would be nice to have such a meal in winter.

"Your mother mentioned to me before that you may become a secret cultivator, and you should be able to afford the price of this kind of thing on the black market, if there are mysterious properties or secret medicines, you can take them back and take a look, and I will try my best to help. Joyce drank a bowl of soup and said to the plump girl.

"I see. ”

The girl did not show joy, but more peace of mind.

Without eating too much, Bernice Matildel had already arranged dinner for the following four servants.

The room collapsed, and Joyce took advantage of the light of the candlelight to look through the newspaper of Rensu Life.

"Mr. Arrin came, and let him into the side study. When it was getting dark, Bernice Matildel whispered outside the wooden door of the wing.

Joyce got up from his seat smiling and opened the door to the study on the side of the medicine hall.

"Did you get here? I don't have dinner for you. Seeing Yarlin, who had dark circles under his eyes, sat on a chair in the study, Joyce smiled unscrupulously.

"I knew I was leaving, but now that the bar has moved, you're herding sheep, aren't you?" Jarrin glanced at Joyce with deep resentment.

"Take it out. ”

Joyce sat down at her desk and motioned for Arlin to open her purse.

Arrlin's face twitched and he took out the promotion form, which Joyce signed and put his fingerprint on.

"I went back to Taya University today, and I heard that my diploma and files were taken away, was it our military intelligence department?" Joyce asked about the importance of things.

"It's in the archives of the MI, you don't think you can work in the military casually. Arrin gave a rare smile to his heart's content.

"I heard that some of the students died in this year's graduation trial in the archaeology department of Taya University, do you know where they were?" Joyce knew that it was the Military Intelligence Service that had transferred the diplomas and files, so he didn't dig any further.

"Savage Ridge, it is said that there is a sealed place over there, whether it is a tomb or something is still unclear, and the department is also investigating this matter. Yarlin's expression moved, and he leaned over and whispered.

"Out of Notting Forest, have you gone that far?"

Hearing Yarlin mention the place, Joyce was somewhat surprised.

"It stands to reason that the graduation trial is a matter for the school, but if you chase it up, it is likely to be related to the parliament, and our military intelligence department is not good to interfere and intervene too much, so we can only investigate it secretly. Arrin smiled meaningfully.

Joyce wouldn't want to leave Rensu City if he could, and as a student of archaeology at Taya University, he was somewhat aware of the dangers of dark areas and archaeology.

"When I came here last night, your herb shop was still cold and cold, and after a day's work, it was okay, but the two courtyards were a little smaller. Seeing that Joyce was no longer talking, Yarlin smiled and chattered.

"There are not many people, do you want to get a large piece of land like the War Depository, I also have to have money, you go back and inform Cliff, let him go to the Bank of Orlandu tomorrow morning to withdraw money. Joyce rolled her eyes.

"This time, Cliff sent it, just selling you weapons and ammunition will cost fifteen hundred gold, I have to be close to him, maybe he will have the intention of investing. Yarlin sighed in admiration, apparently thinking of the bearded man.

"Bell! bell!"

There was a knock on the door of the study in the side hall, and the plump girl came in with Canaan coffee.

"She's Bernice Matildel, the daughter of Madame Mathilde, and I approached Palemi yesterday to ask her to help me with the herb shop, but she didn't mean that. Joyce didn't hide it from Arlin, and motioned for the plump girl to stand beside him.

From what Joyce said and meant, Arrin had already guessed that, at least on the surface, he thought that this beautiful girl was his own.

"Palemi is useless, so you don't need to pay attention to her in the future. "Yarrin has the intention of leaving it to fend for itself.

"Now that Bernice has helped, I can focus more on what I do. Joyce said with a faint smile.

In the presence of a plump girl, Yarlin drank a cup of coffee, said no more, and got up after not sitting for long.

"I'm going to get me some classical robes tomorrow, it's not convenient to wear formal clothes here. After sending Arrin off, Joyce said to the plump girl.

"Do you want to take a break now?"

The plump girl's delicate face flushed, and she lowered her head and asked shyly.

"In the future, I will be in the herb shop, and I will explore the aura and ability of secret cultivation in the first half of the night, so as not to let people disturb me. "Joyce didn't explain it in that detail.

Entering the stone house on the left side of the front yard, Joyce did not linger in the Dan room, but went down to the underground passage, opened the iron lock door, and the metal door of the secret room at the end of the passage.

The spacious underground chamber is quite simply furnished, with a round stone plate and a bed standing out.

Joyce changed into a clay overalls and sat on a stone plate to secretly wonder if he should do anything to the corpse of the old mechanic stored under the asylum.

"I can't wait any longer, and no one will suspect me if I haven't been to Rossi's Asylum and steal the mechanic's body back. Joyce let go of her senses and first made sure there was nothing unusual in the underground vault and the herb shop.

Noticing that outsiders were watching, Joyce took out the metal figure from the pendant of the necklace coffin, and loaded the Saorun pistol with a demon hunting bullet and prepared it not far away, in case there was any accident when stealing the corpse of the old mechanic.
