。

The voluntary declaration of the right to report requires the completion of the application and the handover of the application to the head office of the daily newspaper on Crown Street, and it is a two-year-old document, so it takes two to three days to be evaluated.

Mr. Issad has no objection to this.

After handing over the submission of the documents to the receptionist on the first floor, the two returned to the office again.

"Prepare lunch for Barty, we probably won't be back at noon. ”

Isad rummaged through the filing cabinet in one hand and the suitcase in the other, looking like he was about to go out, and Roddy asked suspiciously:

"Where are you going?"

Isad nodded.

"The suicide story editor is my student Charl, but he quit two years ago, almost after the issue ended. ”

"At the time, I was a little strange, but he was full of longing for the newspaper editor. ”

"Now it seems that the reason may not be as simple as it seems. ”

"In short, we can't afford to be idle in the period leading up to the passage of the reporting rights. ”

Roddy nodded thoughtfully, quickly prepared food for Barty, and turned around to find that Mr. Issad looked at him with a look of wanting to say something, was it too much?

"Any questions, Mr. Isad?"

Isad was silent for a moment.

"These things have nothing to do with you, because of my ideas and principles, you are just a temporary assistant who has not yet joined the company. ”

"There's really no need for you to be involved. ”

Roddy understood what Issad meant, but just now he carefully observed that Mr. Issad not only put his office stationery in his suitcase, but also took Roddy's with him.

"With all due respect, Mr. Isad, you seem to have prepared it for me. ”

"Hehe..."

Isad scratched his beard.

"Sure enough, it's an attentive guy..."

"But I also appreciate this about you, and there may be unexpected gains with you, although I have expectations for this, but I still need to ask for your opinion, and you have the right to refuse. ”

Roddy grinned:

"Mr. Issad, I'm not a member of the company, but I think I'm a good fit for this job. ”

"And I have a lot of respect for you, and at the same time I want to be a competent assistant. ”

Issad was moved to hug Roddy, and then took out a small pocket watch from his arms, which looked extremely exquisite.

"This is Bob's gadget for me, and it's said to have a magical effect. ”

After finishing speaking, he suppressed his voice and said:

"It's something extraordinary, and since I brought you, I have to take care of your safety!"

Roddy stared at it for a moment, and although he was interested in something extraordinary, it was supposed to be the same thing that Captain Bob had said would keep Issad safe, so he politely rejected Issad's kindness.

"The only person you know Mr. Morabi saw before he died was me, and Officer Bob gave me something similar after his investigation. ”

Of course this is a lie.

At the mention of Morrabi's death, Issad's expression was visibly darkened, and he muttered a few words before taking his pocket watch back.

"Then let's go, to the port of Beside. ”

Roddy searched through the memories, but had no impression of the port of Beside.

"Far from Downtown?"

"Yes, it will take about half a day to drive by carriage, and you can understand it as another Kotar city, but it is more prosperous by the sea. ”

......

Because of Roddy's relationship, the coachman approached Tothai, and when he heard that Roddy was following his boss on a business trip, he expressed his envy.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived at the port of Beside, and Issad did not rush to find his students, but planned to settle lunch first.

Totai drove the carriage to the harbor again, and the smell of the sea made Roddy feel a little emotional.

It was the first time he had seen the sea when he was so big, and it was also the first time he had seen a sailboat, a huge sailboat that covered the sky and the sun, and Roddy didn't know much about it, and according to the memories of his previous life, he gave it the name of "Wooden Aircraft Carrier".

The harbor was full of busy porters and street vendors, and the smell of fishy and sweaty seafood and the smell of various snacks mixed with the smell of Rodi's heart was refreshed.

"Fresh flying fish! Freshly caught flying fish!"

"Let's have a piece of crab cake!

"Beside's most authentic seafood, lemon snails! two pennies!"

Roddy was full of curiosity about everything in front of him as if he had entered the Grand View Garden, and so was Totai beside him.

Thanks to Roddy, Totai also enjoyed a free lunch, and it was a fancy restaurant he had never been in.

In reality, they only visited one of the most common restaurants in the port, but still spent half a gold pound, prompting Totai to eliminate any food that could be swallowed, such as the bones of the bonefish, which are usually used to make soups but are not easily bitten in.

"Thank you, sir, for your hospitality, Roddy is so lucky to have met such a generous and gentlemanly boss of yours. ”

Totai did not hesitate to express his praise full of envy.

Issad looked at Roddy with a smile and began to think that the young men from Leo Village were very good, did not waste food, and were down-to-earth and capable.

"I'll be waiting for you in the harbor carriage area!"

Following Tottay's greeting, Roddy followed Mr. Issad out of the harbor and went to the city of Port Beside, where his students lived.

Except for the smell of the sea in the air, the surrounding buildings and streets look no different from the city of Kotatar.

"Beside Port is the only port city on the south coast, it undertakes the trade exchange between the northern continent and the southern continent, and is the most important import and export trade area of the Klan Empire. ”

"So the security here is quite strict, and I have to say that my students are able to live here enough to move here when I retire and find a place by the sea. ”

Roddy listened very carefully to Issad's popular science, which helped him understand the world more quickly.

"It's here. ”

Isad rang the doorbell after determining the house number, and soon a man with scruffy hair and a haggard face but well-dressed and clean, who looked to be in his thirties, but whose actual age should have been only twenty-five or sixteen.

This is a far cry from what Issad calls 'capable enough'.

He was surprised to see Isad.

"Mr. Isad!?"

"Why are you here?"

Then he looked curiously at Roddy, who realized it was time to introduce himself.

"Hello, Mr. Char, I am Rodi, Mr. Isad's assistant, and it is a pleasure to meet you. ”

The two shook hands politely.

"It's really surprising, I didn't expect you to come to visit me..."

Char's expression looked a little evasive, and he didn't dare to look directly at Issad.

Isad sighed.

"Char, you don't have to feel guilty about your sudden resignation. ”

Char lowered his head, still looking guilty.

"But you taught me everything with your heart, and I chose to leave..."

Isad waved his hand, he didn't really want to mention these things, everyone had their own choice, he wouldn't blame anything for it, and that was two years ago, so he directly stated his intentions.

"That's right, you were involved in reporting on a suicide two years ago, remember?"

Char's expression froze, as if he had already guessed it but was very reluctant to mention it.

"Teacher... I don't remember. ”

Isad and Roddy both frowned and glanced at each other, Char's expression clearly telling them that there must be something hidden in them.

"Char, you have to help me. ”

Char looked at Issad's serious expression, and after struggling for a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, and quickly let the two of them into the house, looked nervously left and right at the door, and quickly closed the door.
