At the beginning of the 21st Covenant was unplanned

After returning to the hotel, Xia Ye and Lin Xi met Natalia, who had long hair and crimson.

"Give!"

After saying hello, Natalia handed Summer Night an envelope.

Summer Night took it: "This is?" ”

"Your share of the bounty." Natalia explained, "From the seven illegal summoners you caught, I got them back for you. ”

"By the way, because Qiqi basically didn't help, I didn't have your share."

Natalia was referring to the crusade against that illegal organization.

Lin Xi muttered: "I naturally know this." ”

Providing reliable information about illegal summoners, illegal organizations, or arresting countries or associations will result in high bounties.

Even if it is not recorded on the official wanted list, the amount of the bounty will be determined based on the content as long as it is determined that it is illegal, which is one of the financial resources of the Liberty Summoner.

Otherwise, why would the Freedom Summoners risk their lives to fight crime? Not everyone is a righteous partner, naturally for life.

Relatively speaking, the amount given by the summoner's association is generally higher than that of state agencies, because in the latter's view, it is the responsibility of the people to fight crime and evil, and if they do not have their own nationality, it is even more troublesome, and it is easy to involve a lot of violations such as the use of force in public places, damage to public property, etc.

Of course, it is not without benefit for a free summoner to deal with the state.

Although the bounty is small, it can improve the favorability of the state agency, and after the favorability is full, it can be absorbed by the state, you must know that most of the free summoners are brushed down by the state agency, so there can be a second chance, and many free summoners are not willing to give up.

Natalia suddenly changed her tone: "By the way, there is one more thing that is inconvenient for us to go back to the room to talk about. ”

The three of them booked a total of two rooms, one alone on Summer Night, and one room for Lin Xi and Natalia.

Because there is a difference between men and women, the three of them come to the room on a summer night.

"What's going on?"

Lin Xi, who had almost grown up with Natalia, noticed the abnormality early on.

Natalia organizes the language: "Hmm... In fact, I happened to encounter a report of illegal activities at the branch of the association, but due to the lack of sufficient evidence, the detention unit could not be dispatched, and even the investigation team could not spare manpower due to the shortage of personnel. ”

"Isn't that normal?" The summer night was a little lacking.

The normal work of the Summoners Association is to regulate the relationship and contradictions between free summoners and organizations and countries, as well as to take action against illegal summoners and illegal organizations.

In order to prevent malicious harassment, it is necessary to collect absolute evidence before the detention force can be dispatched, and if there is any doubt, an investigation team is dispatched to investigate.

In this regard, the summoner's association and the state agency are similar, and many times it is because of the need to go through the process that leads to the escape of criminals, but there is no way to do it.

Because of the limited manpower, it is not possible to send a detention force as soon as a report is received, and in case there is an oolong and there is a real illegal activity in another place, who will be responsible for the loss of property and personnel?

Although it seems silly to "go through the process" a lot of times, it really doesn't work without this step.

Summer nights mean not to meddle in things, it's not indifferent but human.

"You're right, but the summoner who initiated the report is a member of our guild." Natalia looked helpless.

Summer Night: "Uh... If that's the case, there's no way around it! ”

Members of other intermediary organizations may sit idly by, but Ouroboros is different.

Lin Xi continued: "Who is the whistleblower?" ”

"Speaking of which, they are also acquaintances, it is Louise and Ah Yao and Ying Ying."

"It's the three of them, wait a minute!" Lin Xi was surprised.

"Ah Yao's character will be reported to the Summoners Association? If you really encounter the enemy, you must go straight to it! ”

"That's right, with Ah Yao's character, he would indeed do that, but because of the special situation this time, he didn't dare to act rashly."

Summernight: "What do you mean by illegal activity?" ”

Natalia's voice froze: "Slave trade. ”

"No wonder." Lin Xi sighed.

Although Lu Yao was not afraid of powerful enemies, he had to consider the slaves who were going to be sold for goods.

With his strength, it is impossible for him to destroy an organization alone like Natalia and protect the victims at the same time, so he can only report to the association and ask for rescue.

"The cause of the incident starts with the commission that the three of them accepted, which was originally an ordinary commission for investigation.

The client is an old lady from Tsarist Russia, and her commission is to investigate whether the object of her contract has encountered any trouble or danger, and she is willing to increase the amount of the commission in the event of an armed conflict. ”

Natalia begins to tell the story of the cause of the incident.

"Her contract is with a female Yaga who has a legal status under the rule of the king of Yaga, and her main job is to take care of the client's daily life."

The Golaga clan of the Slavic world is respected by the strong, and the emaciated Yaka cannot survive in the harsh environment and the contempt of his fellow people.

However, with the development of the times, force is not the only criterion, such as this female Yaga is responsible for the client's daily life in exchange for abundant food and precious winter resources abound.

Over time, the parties to the contract will gradually form a special bond, no longer just an employer and a helper.

"One day, the client's contract partner asked her for leave and said that she had found a new job with a good salary, but the other party asked her to work for a certain period of time before considering whether to hire her."

"The client did not object and get angry, because he knew the family background of the female Yaga and had been together for many years, he had long treated the other party as half a daughter, and even proposed that if there was a conflict in the summoning time in the future, he could give priority to that side, and even terminate the contract with her if necessary."

After hearing this, the female Yaga said that she would try to arrange the summoning time, at least the second situation would not happen.

The content of the contract between the client and the female Yaga is like that of an hourly worker, and this contract is sometimes based on time, some according to the number of calls, and some according to the degree of content.

"After that, the client never contacted the female Yaga again, and the client, who knew the nature of the female Yaga, concluded that the other party must have fallen into some kind of trouble or even danger, but because the missing time was too short to be judged as a case, he issued a commission to the free summoner and asked for help."

"After Lu Yao and the others accepted the commission, they rushed to Ross, learned about the matter from the client, and then found the other party's lair according to the work information disclosed by the female Yaga to the client, and found traces of the slave trade there."

"Although it can be determined that the slave traders did it, because there is insufficient evidence, it is completely a statement from the standpoint of the association."

The original plan of the three of them was to rest for the night after submitting a supplementary report from the Summoners Guild branch in Gnoria, and return directly to the Kingdom of Libra tomorrow, but when such a thing happened, it was no longer possible to proceed according to the original plan.

Natalia and Lin Xi's choice naturally didn't need to be said, so the two of them looked at Xia Ye together, waiting for his answer.

"There is a question, is the information of the slave trader true? Could there be any misunderstanding or ..."

"I believe in them!" Lin Xi was categorical.

"Then the purpose of the next step is clear."

Summer Night reached out and pressed the Qingming acupoint.

"The first is to ensure the safety of the victims, the second is to arrest all illegal summoners, and as for the other behind-the-scenes, the industrial chain or something, leave it to the association for a headache!"

Lin Xi was overjoyed: "That means you agreed." ”

Natalia seemed to be unexpected, "That's it, and if you act rashly, you're likely to startle the snake, so..."

"So to deal with this situation, you can't be like the association, you have to catch them off guard, and you must kill them with one blow."

Summer Night looked at Natalia and showed that all veterans know how to look at them.

Lin Xi: "......"

"Since it's a request for help from the branch of Gnoria, that means it's not far from here, right? Natalia. ”

"You're right, it's in Oneba." Natalia took out her mechanical terminal and called up a map of the vicinity.

"Let me see."

Summer Night leaned over and looked at the map displayed on the terminal and calculated the distance between the two cities.

"It takes three or four hours by car, how is it? Do you need to go now? If I'm in a hurry, I can use flying equipment to get there. ”

Try not to do things that you don't like and troublesome for summer nights, and if you have to do it, try to choose the fastest and easiest solution.

"There's no need to worry, there is still plenty of time, the other party has no intention of transferring for the time being, and the three of Louise take turns to monitor 24 hours a day, and they will contact me if something unexpected happens."

Natalia shook her head.

"Besides, you played all day today and were in the mountains before. Rest well tonight and set off early tomorrow morning. ”

Since Natalia said so, Xia Ye didn't force it, and sent Natalia and Lin Xihou away to stand alone in front of the mirror.

He said to himself in the mirror: "I hope that something interesting will happen next like today, otherwise it will be a great loss." ”

Seeing myself in the mirror is no different, summer night just smiles.
