35 Josh
"Keep an eye out for new strangers who have recently entered the city and strangers who have entered the city later, and be sure to report anything unusual to me. ”
After learning about the recent situation on the reef in the newspaper, Alan left the order and walked away.
Argus respectfully escorted him to the door of the newspaper office, and his docile appearance surprised many in the newspaper office, who had never seen this guy so honest, even in the face of his bloody father.
"Moreover, isn't it rumored that Agus has a great grudge against Young Master Allen?"
"Maybe the rumors are false. ”
"Even if it's fake, it's impossible to change so much, right?"
"Who knows...."
The talk was silenced by the reprimands of the returning Argus, who was respectful to Allen, but not kind to these ordinary employees—he was used to being powerful.
Charm humans, this skill is very useful, as long as the mental power does not exceed Allen, you can transform the originally strange and even hostile target into your own people.
Without this skill, Alan would have had a hard time regaining control of the newspaper, but now it's easy.
It's just that this skill is not omnipotent.,The goal of casting the spell is to transform your own people.,But it's not to lose your own will.,It's just a change of favorability.,If Alan asks him to do something that threatens his own safety.,Then he won't agree at all.
For example, investigating the secret information of his family.
There were undercover agents in the upper layers of the reef, which he had never heard of, but Alan didn't suspect anything, because it was what Charles told him. Charles, on the other hand, listened to Tyron mention it.
Although his cheap father always likes to turn his son in the bend pit, this kind of thing should not lie, so Alan has to take it seriously.
Originally, he thought that the newspaper was still under his own control, but who knew that it was replaced by Argus, a gentleman, although the power of the spell allowed him to take over smoothly, but Alan did not think that he could say his plan in front of Argus without scruples.
"So this investigation can only be done on your own?"
Turning his head to look at the newspaper office, Alan sighed.
This kind of thing can only be done by his own people, and it is impossible to ask for foreign help, but now that his own people have been defeated, then only he can do it himself.
Fortunately, Eren has a lot of strange spells, and he is still capable of being an investigator.
But he wasn't in a hurry to get started.
He currently has two things to do, to find out the spies and to push forward with the Great Purge.
The former he is working on, the latter is to be studied. But Alan already has an eyebrow.
"There's no way Tyron could have given me command of the city's armies," he mused, as he hurried in the direction of the castle.
"I didn't have any military training at all, and I didn't even have much theoretical knowledge. ”
"But the old butler said that I should cooperate with Samuel, not the eldest brother, then what he meant was..."
"Asking me to cooperate with Samuel doesn't mean that I am going to lead the troops myself, so in fact, the problem I encountered before is not a problem, I don't need the command authority of the army in Reef City, just let Charles lead the troops to the battle. ”
"But their plan is already perfect, what do they want me to do?"
"Stabilize the city, or is it something else?"
Alan was a little confused by this, but he felt that there was no need to think too much about this kind of thing, he would naturally understand what to do after the incident, otherwise it would be impossible for Taryn not to tell him, after all, it was about his multi-year plan.
**
Although Allen's return to the reef was silent, it was still spread so much that there was an endless stream of old people who came to visit for the past two days.
Former fox friends and dog friends, various high-level executives who used to be stakeholders, and former subordinates.
There were even some people who had never met before who came to visit, and the attitude was much more enthusiastic than that of Argus at the beginning.
"We've had very few big events since you left. ”
Josh, who was sitting opposite Allen with Erlang's legs crossed, sighed, "We've wanted to go to the bay to play with you many times, but unfortunately Kull won't let us." ”
"There's nothing fun about the bay. Alan pouted, "Kuhl's decision is right, even if you go, I have nothing to entertain." ”
"Hah, what are you going to do?" Josh didn't quite believe it, as one of his former fox friends and dogs, he agreed that there was something fun about Allen's trip to the bay.
"Men, you have to have a career. Alan said.
However, this sentence made Josh feel quite awkward, and he said speechlessly: "Come on, what's so fun about career?"
Alan used to only care about playing, so it's not hard to imagine what Josh's personality is like as his former friend.
"It's really not fun. Alan rolled his eyes and didn't refute anything, because it was true.
"But the stuff that comes with it is fun. He said secretly.
If it weren't for the six-pointed star, he wouldn't have been a Rausch lord at all, because that wouldn't have attracted him at all, and what he loved most was free play, gossiping about other people's secrets, and making up some interesting little things.
That's basically the first seventeen years of his life.
Before the Apocalypse Awakening Ceremony, his wish was to travel to various places in the stars after awakening, and see the mountains and rivers of this other world—it must be much more beautiful than the various attractions in his previous life.
However, the failure of the awakening discouraged him from this idea, and at the same time, the appearance of the six-pointed star finally made him decide to go to the bay, where birds don't.
Although he has made certain achievements now, Alan still doesn't think there is anything attractive about being a lord, he is not greedy for money and power, and he will not bully the people by virtue of his lordship, and he is not lustful, except for a responsibility, there is no place for fun.
It's just that now that it's on the right track, it's impossible for him to leave it alone, and it's about the charging of the six-pointed star, and Alan can't ignore it.
"Speaking of which, is Nar still on the reef?"
"Nal?" Josh paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Don't mention the one who has no conscience, he has already left, and he has no nostalgia at all." ”
At this point, Josh looked indignant, as if he had a problem with it.
Nal is not a star, but a noble child of the Free Federation, and after sneaking to Reef City, which is across the sea from the Free Federation, he coincidentally mixed with the small group of Alan and others, because he is knowledgeable about broadcasting and is a "foreigner", so Allen's gang is happy to play with him.
Seeing Josh's unhappy expression, Alan said comfortingly: "There may be something urgent, you don't know, his family is strictly investigated, and he will be exposed on the reef sooner or later." ”
"What can be so urgent as to leave only a letter and not even have a farewell dinner?" Apparently, Josh was haunted by this.
“....”
chatting with his former friends, Alan felt relaxed, Josh is the youngest son of a big businessman in the city, and it stands to reason that the identity gap is a bit big, but first, Alan is not the kind of guy who relies on his powerful father and fake tiger, and secondly, Josh This kid is also not very interested in the children of the powerful, and even they met because of the fight with Argus, Alan also doesn't want to see Argus, and they became friends.
There is no interest in the slightest, it's just the kind of bad friends who simply play together, have time to sit down and talk, or think about studying pranks on others.
Josh never talks about important things or things related to interests, and Alan naturally doesn't take the initiative to mention them.
Josh, who didn't know what to think, suddenly leaned in and whispered, "By the way, during your absence, I discovered a secret of that old man!"
"Old?" was the title that made Alan stunned before he realized that it was actually a nickname they gave people.
It was none other than the first mentor of his mage career, the dwarf Oliver.
"What's the secret?" he asked curiously
"Don't you wonder why he, a dwarf, stayed here for more than ten years and was ostracized and didn't leave?"
"Curious. ”
"So, I haven't given up investigating this matter, and I didn't get anything out of it, but he ran to your bay a while ago, and then a few of us sneaked to his house.....
"And guess what. ”
"How?"
"There's a treasure trove underneath his house!"
