Chapter 209: Opportunities for Promotion

On Saturday afternoon, there was still some time before dinner. Draenau, who had only just eaten lunch, felt that his abdomen was still a little full.

The heat outside the window has only recently begun to dissipate, and the refreshing breeze blows through the street, penetrating into the room along the half-hidden window, and the fragrance of flowers on the balcony next door makes people forget the fatigue of work for a while.

"It's a good time to sleep." Draenor muttered to himself.

But he had only just gotten up, and he had slept until lunchtime since he got home at six o'clock in the morning, and nearly six hours of sleep was enough to relieve his tiredness. Besides, the work of these nights is relatively simple, and I can barely get together in the office for a while after I am done.

So, he has a lot of time to sort out his personal affairs.

Picking up the black tea on the table and taking two sips, Draenor picked up the documents he had recorded the morning before, two years had passed since the first "vigil", but he had never forgotten the "horror story" in Dino's mouth.

He looked at the figures he had drawn at random on the document, the beak-like mask and the oppressive and eerie black robe, which were exactly the same as the image of the plague doctor in his imagination.

Although it was a crude fabrication, it was undeniable that the mysterious plague doctor did exist in a corner of the city, and he believed that the Knights must still have some evidence about the "cure", and they knew that such a terrible fact would be difficult to hide, and that public disclosure would undoubtedly cause panic among the residents, so they simply chose another method: portraying it as an ethereal biography.

In fact, from the very beginning, he had a bold guess about the identity of the plague doctor, according to Snowway's current situation, he would not send someone to infiltrate Nagseus in a short time, and it was impossible for the Butland family to be idle and provoke the southern kingdom. As far as he knew, it was likely that the people who were only active at night and possessed advanced medical skills were the Yazira who had been tracking Vicilico's whereabouts.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Mr. Delanor, are you in the room?" Jeanne's voice came from outside the door, and he quickly folded the document in half and tucked it in the book, no matter what, it was best not to let Viklily know about the plague doctor.

Pulling the door inward, Jeanne was standing in front of her, holding a disc full of pastries.

"I thought you were still sleeping, and no one paid attention to me after a few minutes of knocking......," Jeanne muttered, then picked up a shell-like pastry from the plate and stuffed it into Langlano's mouth.

With a light bite, the creamy aroma instantly fills the entire mouth, the sweetness is just right, and the skin is baked just right.

"Yes, where did you get it?" He swallowed and quickly asked the other party.

"I did it myself!" Hearing the other party's compliment, Jeanne had a satisfied smile on her face.

She confidently turned to the coffee table, put the tray down and added, "Uncle Bourbon came last night, I thought he was here to collect rent, but I didn't expect to enthusiastically teach me how to use these kitchen utensils, and his sister opened a bakery and shared some simple recipes with me." ”

"New snacks?" Attracted by the scent, Vikily ran to the couch, picked up two snacks and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Mr. Landlord......" Delaeno touched his chin and thought, maybe Uncle Bourbon's sister was the wife of Instructor Reiner...... Then again, it's time to pay the second rent. The price of Maple Street is five deli per square meter, and the money on hand is enough to buy this house, but it is more cost-effective to renew the lease in comparison.

After getting to know Dino, he was basically familiar with the existence of the beast spirit clan, and when he thought about it, Mr. Landlord, who was also a beast spirit clan, did retain the characteristics of a certain animal, irritable, bald, and his forelimbs were longer than his legs......

"Is it a gorilla?" He muttered with a wicked smile and turned to knock on Cooper's door.

"What?" The uncle impatiently opened the door and leaned against the door frame to ask him.

Draenor glanced at his pocket watch, grabbed his money bag and poured a handful of gold coins into Cooper's hand, "These should be enough to pay a month's rent, and according to Bourbon's character, he will definitely come to the door before seven o'clock tonight...... Keep the rest of the money for now, and go with Jeanne to buy some food for the family. ”

It was also time to go to work, so he finished telling the two, walked to the door, put on the slightly exaggerated armor, filled the "office supplies" with bullets, walked down the aisle to Jet's door and knocked, and was about to devote himself to busy work with his teammates.

The two of them sat in a carriage and hurried towards the watchtower of Narcissus Street, where Dino had been waiting for a long time, according to his character. Draenor glanced at the "Excerpts from the Literature of Kerdon" with the document in his hand, he did not want to bring this thing to the watchtower to study, but to find an opportunity to identify the image of the plague doctor with Dino, and his intuition told him that he would always meet the mysterious man sometime.

The carriage stopped at the entrance to the watchtower, and Draenor was about to untie the purse, only to see that Dino had already walked to the front of the carriage and paid the toll to the coachman.

"What are you doing? Get out of the car! There's still a lot of work ahead of us. The captain opened the door and said to the two knights who were lying on the seats.

"You haven't forgotten your promise! I don't have any money with me, and I'm still worried about the fare, hehe......" Jett smirked at the captain and walked down against the door frame.

work, another long night...... Draenor shook his head, he hadn't fully adjusted to the reversal of day and night, so he had to take a step and follow Jett towards the watchtower.

"Draenor, wait a minute." Dino turned around and grabbed him by the shoulder, waiting until Jett was already inside the tower before pulling a scroll out of his pocket. It looked the same as the registration scroll, except for an extra imprint in the lower right corner, with Mikhail's autograph.

"What is this?" He wasn't going to take the time to read the text above, but was going to listen to Dino succinctly summarize its main points.

"'The New Regulations of the Knights of Nagysius on the Actions of the Expedition'." The captain compared the scroll in front of Draenor and said to him as if he were reciting, "I only got it this morning, and the expedition team has been short of personnel recently, and the content is probably to shorten the internship period of Xinrao. 'Any newcomer who assists the garrison in solving cases during the internship period is eligible for an early knighthood', as stated above. ”

Draenor thought for a while, but it still didn't seem to understand what the other party was trying to say. He frowned and continued, "That is?" ”

"Tsk, why don't you understand......" Dino smiled and smacked his mouth, waving his thick palm and slapping it on his back, "Our chance to be promoted is here!" ”

The sudden strange force almost caused Draenor to vomit up the lunch left in his stomach, and he quickly stood on his feet and straightened up with his back, "Please calm down...... Is promotion so important? ”

"You're messing with me!" Dino shouted in surprise, as if even his own gong-like voice was frightened, he quickly lowered his voice and continued: "We are still interning now, and we have to listen to the instructor's command for everything, even if we wait for three months to pass, the income is only half of that of a regular knight!" Promotion means that we have the freedom to control our working hours, and we can also get some bounties to earn some extra money! Why not? ”

This attracted the attention of Langlano, who was not suitable for Cheng to live a two-point life, and if he had the badge of a regular knight, he would be able to gain more freedom, which was much more interesting than staying in the watchtower and dealing with documents.

"Sounds like a good thing...... But why deliberately avoid Jett and only follow me? ”

The captain suddenly restrained his smile, craned his neck to look at the top of the watchtower, and then explained to the other party in an excited tone, "You also know that Jett is an overseer sent to the team by the Knights, and she is a person of integrity...... It's so upright! This is not a good thing, in her eyes, the knight should wield a big sword to kill demons like in the story, only this is the only way to be promoted, and a little cleverness is equivalent to cheating...... Isn't that a joke? ”

With that, the captain led Draenor to the corner of the alley, deliberately turned his back to the watchtower, and took out a crumpled ball of paper from his bosom and handed it to him.

"Listen, I happened to have someone at the check-in desk, and he gave me the opportunity to solve this case. As long as we get it done, we'll be able to get the knight's badge without a hitch. I didn't even plan to discuss it with her, because everyone could guess the outcome! After all, this promotion opportunity is precious, and if you miss it, you can only wait a year later! ”

Draenor nodded suspiciously, and slowly unfolded the ball of paper, which looked like a corner of some document, with scribbled handwriting that could barely be read after reading it for a long time.

"'22 Lily of the Valley Road, missing children.' This place is not ......" he quickly closed his mouth, forcing himself not to utter the word.

Dino unhurriedly took the note, crumpled it into a ball and put it in his pocket. Then, he nodded at the other party with a smile that seemed to be not a smile.

"That's right, the most notorious street in Celton."
