As Mr. Ingalls's fingers swiped and clicked on the platen, the words on the holographic projection kept changing. And to the surprise of the players, this old man who is close to the sixtieth armor actually has such amazing hands.

The more he looked at the noodles, the deeper the brow, jumped on Barrett's back, and then whispered to his ear, "Barrett, do you see any patterns?" How do you feel like that person is messing around? ”

"I guess it's some kind of encryption! The more ordinary the mage's memory and brain computing ability, perhaps a way of calculating random numbers. Barrett replied in a low voice, smiling apologetically to Mr. Ingalls. Barrett knew that if Mr. Ingalls had an idea, his current conversation with Noodle would never escape the other party's detection.

"You're right! It's no secret anyway, so it's okay to sue you. Each of the plates is opened with a unique key, which is set by the respective librarian. It can be said that in each club, only the manager has the ability to open the engraving plate. Of course, there will always be places where backups are available at any time, so even the accidental death of an administrator like me will not affect the operation. While speaking, the movements of Mr. Ingalls's hands did not stop, and the information on the holographic projection changed with the old man's flying fingers.

Soon the phrase Nosaiah appeared on the holographic projection. As soon as the word appeared, there was a flood of records of him in the Scroll Society.

"On the 33rd day of the month of rotting leaves, there was a message for help from the Nosaiah family: a strong enemy is coming, and I hope to get help from a team of senior professionals. In addition to the most basic 3o points of learning to contribute, I have prepared a generous reward. It won't disappoint those who come. Note! Among the attackers, there is a red iron rank. If you are interested in going, please judge your strength. We don't want to add new victims. ”

Look at the holographic projection of the text. Rielly smirked. She immediately urged: "Do you always think that this kind of task is appropriate as an entry test?" If it's not suitable, let the rest of the message out as soon as possible, I think the protest in your mouth, Mr. Ingalls, has already arrived. ”

At the same time, the system prompt that had just stopped for a long time appeared again: "The sudden quest 'Mole in the Library' is opened, and the quest will give the player different results according to the player's table......"

"Nope! I don't think so! It seems like I'm too caught up in my own world. The clerks under his command are so bold that they can even revise the internal commission. Mr. Ingalls grabbed his cane and slammed it on the ground, "Condell, tell me what's going on?" ”

With Mr. Ingalls' words, the clerk standing behind him suddenly turned white. At the same time, the hands were constantly clenching and relaxing on their trouser legs, and the cold sweat from the palms of their hands left several handprints on the pants.

After a while, the family stammered a little and said, "Me! I don't know what's going on. I really don't know! ”

"Don't say you don't know! How can you be completely unaware? Mr. Ingalls roared as he pounded the floor with his cane. The only ones who can meddle in these things are a few of you scholar-level clerks. Even if it weren't for you, I don't think you haven't seen any clues in a long time. ”

"I don't really know who did this. In the past! They didn't have that much courage in the past! The clerk trembled at Mr. Ingalls' roar and retreated to the edge of the bookshelf behind him.

"Don't know about this? And the past? It seems that there are a lot of similar things in the Scroll Society! Rielly touched her chin and began to look with interest at the clerk who had been cornered.

"Say! What the hell is going on? Mr. Ingalls was so angry that even the already loose skin on his face was now plumped up by congestion.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Barrett didn't know why this thought suddenly popped into his head: 'Can the skin of the face swell freely like a sponge?' Could this mage actually practice the inner fist to the legendary god is not bad? ’

The young clerk with an angular face in front of everyone's gaze began to stammer, "Your Excellency, you also know that our work in the Dome Society is—there is not much money to be paid. Learning to pay is a different way of knowing ......"

The Society's payment system is also in line with the organization's tenet of the supremacy of knowledge. Similarly, such hard-to-monetarily remunerative work effectively isolates the poor from access to knowledge.

However, not all poor people accept their fate, and there will always be people who want to break this ice-like knowledge barrier. And there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have good and bad luck, even the children of rich families who have no worries about food and clothing have the possibility of family ruin. What's more, the human heart is insufficient, and some seekers have a thirst for knowledge that they cannot afford on their own.

Over time, the clerks in these societies began to find ways to find extra money for themselves. Because of the limitations of spells, the way to resell knowledge and internal literature has long been blocked. In the beginning, these clerks were only able to help certain customers reserve the books and materials they needed to earn some money.

Such additional benefits were obviously not enough to satisfy most people, so attention was quickly drawn to the Scroll Society's internal task system. Unlike many mercenary guilds and adventurers' homes that are clearly priced, there are many places in the tome society's quest system.

First of all, the Book Society is a large knowledge organization. This makes their task rewards and the difficulty of the tasks more or less skewed. Many tasks that use books as a reward are worthless for some, but worthless for others.

It's like setting aside books for people before. In many cases, these clerks keep a pre-record of the searches of those who come to the profession in advance. Specifically introduce them to the tasks they need. The clerk himself can collect money from both the employer and the task-taker.

If it's just the above point. The clerk's actions can also be said to be mutually beneficial intermediaries with the hiring. But some clerks are clearly more than that. In the case of an employer who pays more than the benefit fee. These undisciplined creatures will even temporarily hide other similarly paid tasks in favor of the able

Adventurers who have completed the quest recommend these quests for which they have received benefits.

In addition, the contribution task within the society has become the hardest hit area. Because members of the society can present the books in their hands to the society in exchange for contribution points to distribute contribution tasks. This kind of task is usually more popular with other members, after all, the contribution value and authority of the society are far more interesting than the individual books.

In this case, although it is not easy to change the contribution value of what kind of task pays in terms of regulations, there is still a floating range of how much contribution is made in the same level of tasks.

These clerks have fewer channels to blur the specifics of the task, which can effectively reduce the cost of contributing to the task. This kind of manipulation can be said to be the greatest benefit for the scholar-level clerks within the society. Just go back and use the reason that there is a new change in the task after it is handed in, and there is a little compensation to fool the undertaker.

However, in this regard, neither employers nor clerks dare to make too much of a difference between tasks and remuneration. Otherwise, once you attract those who undertake the task, they would rather bear the punishment of breach of contract in the society than pick and choose, and it will be troublesome.

According to him, it is precisely because the clerks are like this, as if trying to survive in the cracks, carefully controlling the scale of the gap between the task and the benefit. So that the party undertaking the commission complained for a period of time at most without causing any major trouble.

As he spoke, the clerk shook his brain: "Replace the original commission of the red iron rank with the lowest level of entry assessment, there is absolutely no fool who would do such a thing." Because it's likely to be a goof. When the time comes, it won't be so easy to cover it up. ”

"If the benefits are enough. I don't think anyone would do it, would they? Destroying the interests of a dragon vein family is enough for the person in charge behind the scenes to come up with a heart-warming price to buy you! With her hands on her chest, Rielly was completely scornful of the control of the task system in someone's words.

Immediately afterwards, she threw her entrustment on the coffee table: "Besides, once both the undertaker and the entrusting party lose their news, there will be no proof of death." I don't think you've done this kind of thing before! Facts speak louder than words, and that's the best evidence in front of you. ”

Rielly's words can be said to be heart-wrenching, directly raising the danger of this unspoken rule among clerks by more than a notch - if it was originally just to disrupt the market order, now it can be called murder for money. The former may turn a blind eye after being known by the superiors, and the latter may be completely wiped out for the sake of the prestige of the society.

"This young lady, please don't be so arbitrary, the matter has not been investigated clearly. This incident should be just the hand and foot of some guy with a lot of interests, and it is unlikely to be a normal situation. Until we learn to investigate it, I hope you don't add your own conjectures. Mr. Ingalls's tone of voice became more tactful than before.

Obviously, after proving that there is indeed a problem on his side. Someone's attitude has changed. Although the original Mr. Ingalls was also quite polite, the overlook and alienation revealed in his tone were very obvious.

"Mr. Ingalls, you don't want us to leave first and wait for the results of the investigation!" Barrett, who seemed to realize the purpose of the other party, asked rhetorically. “

Of course, there is no reason for us to interfere in the follow-up investigation. However, this matter is now very serious and threatens our lives. It really doesn't make sense to exclude us from the investigation! ”

"Don't be strong! What you know is the limit. Turning to face the players, Mr. Ingalls had a stern face, and then he said very forcefully, "Before I leave today, I will ask you to sign the relevant confidentiality agreement, and rest assured that my authority will be able to mobilize the price that satisfies you." ”

It was evident that the president of the Iron Riding City branch of the Scroll Society in front of him wanted to prevent the leakage of relevant news in this way, so as to preserve the reputation of the Scroll Society, only in the reputation of the branch under his control.

Noodle's eyes lit up when he heard what the other party said. Rielly touched Laru's head with one hand and her chin with the other, as if considering the merits of the matter.

Barrett, however, already had a plan in his mind: 'The mole is a lurker or a spy.' There's a lot to be tapped with. And this mission rarely uses the previous word 'reward'. Instead, the word 'outcome' is used. In other words, if we don't handle it well, things are likely to go in our direction. ’

Perhaps Mr. Ingalls could really take what he thinks is a trade that will make players act. But judging from the prompts of the mission, I am afraid that this time the matter is not as simple as ordinary collecting money and doing things. To be on the safe side, Barrett had to try to negotiate further.

"Mr. Ingalls, I feel we have a right to know the truth of the matter. Before coming here, we have already told a few friends who are still guests at Nosaiah's house about today, and if we have any accidents, they will accept the matter," Barrett, who lied and did not make a draft, made his last threat without a red heart: "When the time comes, I will directly apply to the Church of the Lord of Justice for the Inquisitor and the Holy Warrior to intervene in the investigation!" ”

"The Church of the Righteous Lord!" Hearing this, Mr. Ingalls's heartbeat quickened a little, and his breathing became a little rapid. He knew that if this organization was allowed to intervene in the investigation, it would be uncontrollable.

And this matter is related to the Five-Colored Dragon Church, a cult forbidden by the Norhan Kingdom, once someone sues the Church of the Righteous Lord, those who carry out the law will never give the Scroll Society any chance to stop it. Fellowship is still too weak for this millennia of a large church.

"If you have to!" The expression on Mr. Ingalls' face changed several times. It's like a face-changing in Sichuan opera. As long as it is a normal person, he can feel the drastic changes in his heart.

Finally, after a sigh of relief, Mr. Ingalls said word for word: "In that case, come with me!" But again, you also have to sign a non-disclosure agreement with me, and make sure that your friends keep their mouths shut about it afterwards. A few of you should be clear about where I stand. ”

"Yes sir, as long as you can gag us." Barrett smiled and spread his hands to say he had no opinion.

"Then draft an agreement!" As he spoke, Mr. Ingalls pulled out four partially blank spell contracts from his sleeve and placed them on the coffee table. He then drew a golden-tipped quill and began to draft the remainder of the contract.

"You're willing to see what the sub-contract is, and if you agree, we'll discuss the hush money." Mr. Ingalls, who had completed the preliminary contents, handed the contract to the players.

"There are no ambiguous words, no suspicious lace with potential threats, and no other traps like texture mezzanine." Noodle Tong guò's own skills in interpreting the document began to confirm the safety of this text. Not only him, but Rielie and Barrett also began to use their own methods to ensure the safety and security of the contract.

Barrett walked up to the diagonal of the coffee table in front of Mr. Ingalls and asked, "There is no problem with the contract!" Now let's move on to the next part, how much are you willing to pay to gag us. ”

"Of course, I will try to show my sincerity as much as possible, but don't think about the lion's mouth. When this kind of thing happens, I am often considered to be mismanaged, and it is a big deal to be removed from my current position. So within that range, think about what you need! "Mr. Ingalls is very blunt. Maybe this is the negotiation of the mages who have been studying spells for many years!

"Don't worry! Sir, we know how much we are worth. After saying this, Barrett immediately discussed with his companions what exactly he needed as hush money.

But even in the midst of heated arguments. Players still haven't let their guard down. The blood-stained Gray Flower is always ready to deal with the unexpected, and Mr. Ingalls is a factor. And the clerk behind him is the focus of the players' vigilance.

After some internal negotiations, the players finally made a preliminary decision. After some negotiation with Mr. Ingalls, Rielly became a scholar-level member of the Society for the Mutual Aid of Natural Abilities in the Scroll Society. At the same time, he also obtained the precursor information of the spell "Scorching Ray". As for Rielly, who has received so many benefits, she needs to compensate Barrett and Noodle with 2ooo credits each.

"In that case, let's sign an agreement!" Mr. Ingalls signed his name on the final four agreements as Party A. The players who are the second party have signed their names on it.

The end result was that Lalu had to wink pitifully at her owner, watery eyes: "Lily! It looks like we can't afford to eat artisanal food for a while. ”

"Actually, it tastes good when I eat the food made by the machine. It's just a month and it's not so easy to get tired of it! Rielly gently rubbed Lalu's chin, and Lalu shivered with comfort.

Mr. Ingalls gritted his teeth and said, "Come with you, Condell!" Let's take a look at some of the clerks who have access to this content. Someone has to give an explanation today, no matter what. ”

Mr. Ingalls, who walked at the forefront, led the group through the elegant cloister. The lights of the inner cloister swayed slowly in the air currents back and forth, and the shadows swayed with this swaying and dancing in a graceful manner.

The walls around it are polished and smooth, and the front is carved with flying pages. Pale ivy climbs around to connect the pages. The result is an unfolded thread-bound book that seems to allude to the process of accumulating knowledge.

As if arriving at the place, Mr. Ingalls stabbed the door open with his own cane. Looking at the two people who were buried in the room and sorting out the documents with Shushan Wenhai, they directly ordered: "Dorrest and Saldo!" You pause the food in your hands. Come out and I've got something you need to do. ”

The two clerks who heard this immediately got up and stopped what they were doing. Obediently walked to the door and asked, "Mr. Ingalls! What are your instructions? ”

"About the commission of the society during this time......" Before Mr. Ingalls could finish speaking, a man in front of him spread his arms, and in each of his hands he held a small ceramic ball with magic attached. Syllable! Syllable! The collision between the ceramic sphere and the ground made two crisp sounds.

An imaginary glare blinded the eyes of several people. Even if he closed his eyes in time, the ensuing sound waves made Barrett's head hurt as if it was about to crack.

The remaining players were even more surprised and unable to accept such a sudden change immediately. In their blindness, they desperately crouched and retreated, trying to avoid the terrible light and the danger that might arise before them.

With his eyes closed, Barrett endured the sharp pain in his brain, and his high blind fighting skills made it impossible for him to rely entirely on his gaze. Now, he let the vibrations beneath his feet guide him, and the hurried assailant was an easy target to detect.

Before starting, in the blink of an eye, the long knife was unsheathed. It moves in an incredibly precise trajectory, as if it can predict the movement of a place, and thus directly blocks the path of the sneak attacker.

"Smack!" The touch that came from the Mo knife told Barrett that he had indeed cut something. But the screams that followed were not one from Barrett, but two. This made Barrett wonder if his ears were having problems with the sonic attack he had just had.

When the glare had passed, Barrett, who had reopened his eyes, was stunned - the slender dagger pierced the heavily folded robe with great light, and even the face of the attacker showed a look of surprise on his face.

Mr. Ingalls, who turned to face Condell, looked at the boss with a look of disbelief. He really didn't believe that Condell, a clerk who had always been cautious, would dare to make a move on him. (To be continued!)
