Chapter 25: Blind Spots

Cain was about eighteen years old, about the same age as Ron. He always looked lazy and didn't seem to wake up.

But what made Ron a little unhappy was that Cain's handsome features really made him jealous.

"Keep up with me, you can rest assured that I won't go looking for you after you lose it. ”

What an irritating tone, Ron thought to himself.

After following Cain all the way through the embassy gates, Ron was presented with a large hall.

The pale white marble floors, the intricate carvings and frescoes on the walls all show the luxury of this place.

Directly in front of Ron stood a young woman in her twenties, and on the left side of the front desk was a small commercial cabinet, and the owner of the commercial cabinet was an old man in his sixties. He was napping against the counter with a light brown leather beret on his head and a large cigarette stick in his mouth.

Ron could see at a glance that most of the items on the cabinet were related to the Abyss Mist, such as some materials for making potions, ritual materials, etc., in addition to various weapons, pistols, long knives, short swords, and even two demon talismans in it.

Sure enough, it was different, Ron turned his head and didn't look any further.

On the right is a wine bar, in front of which there are several comfortable sofas, and a few people are sitting on the sofas talking and laughing with wine glasses.

They noticed Cain, and Ron who was following him.

"Who is that? Have you forgotten the rules here?" asked a middle-aged man with a beard, "and we are not allowed to bring outsiders in here." ”

Cain turned his head to glance at him, ignoring his question, "Where is the muse?"

The middle-aged man frowned, "I'm asking you a question." ”

"Forget it. Cain left him behind, walked up to the front desk, and asked, "Where is the muse, Belle, is he here today?"

"It's in his office," replied the young receptionist, known as Belley, "and he was talking to Mr. Forde in his office. ”

Cain raised his eyebrows slightly and hooked the corners of his mouth, "I guess it's Fayde complaining to the Muse again, come on, thank you, Miss Belley." ”

Belle bent her knees slightly, which was considered a return gift.

At this time, Ron looked at the men and women who were looking at him presumptuously with an embarrassed face.

"Hello. Ron said hello.

A middle-aged lady with a goblet looked at Ron teasingly, "Who are you? Cain's friend? I've never heard of him having friends." ”

"Even if it's a friend, he shouldn't have brought him in!" the bearded, middle-aged man reminded again.

Ron explained, "No, no, Mr. Muse, Mr. Muse asked me to come here. Actually, I met Mr. Cain at the door. ”

"Don't call me sir," Cain walked in with his hands in his pockets, "I hate to be called something like that." Let's go, I'll take you to the muse, and then I'll be done with the day's work. It's so tiring. ”

Looking at the backs of Ron and Cain, the middle-aged lady who spoke earlier said, "Is that the young man Mr. Muse mentioned?"

Bearded took a big gulp of wine, "I don't think it's good." ”

"You always like to belittle people who are more handsome than you, whoever they are. A slightly younger lady said, "When Cain came, you said he was a little white-faced." ”

"Isn't that so?"

The young lady's tone froze, "Well, you're right about Cain. But can you guarantee that you didn't speak disrespectfully to him on the basis of appearances?"

The beard was silent, and after a while he muttered in a low voice, "I don't think it's good." ”

............

Slowly descending the spiral staircase to the left side of the hall to the second floor, Cain silently counted the closed doors, then directly pulled the doors open a crack and pushed Ron inside.

"I've sent you people, Muse. ”

Ron was caught off guard, he looked at the muse sitting in the office drinking, and the other godless middle-aged man, and said hello.

"Ron?" the muse reacted after a moment's pause, "You're here?"

After saying that, he thought of something, and shouted out the door, "Thank you, Cain." ”

"Oh~ I thank you for this empty and weak excuse, and if you are willing to put your gratitude into practical action, I will be even more grateful. ”

As soon as the words fell, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Cain was gone.

Muse smiled helplessly.

"Sit, Ron. The muse said, "I woke up today wondering if you should have come, and you did." ”

After speaking, the muse pointed to the middle-aged man with messy hair across from him and said, "This is Mr. Forder, Forde White, he is a black-clad deacon of the Alliance's Prison Warden Division. ”

Are the deacons in black the ones who are responsible for killing?

Ron glanced at Forder, "Hello, Mr. Forder. ”

"This is Ron, August Ron, whom I mentioned to you today. The Muse laughs, "He has a rare surname." ”

Forder, the middle-aged man in a black trench coat, black pants, a pair of black leather shoes, and even a black hat in his hand, stared at Ron, "How old are you?"

Ron didn't know why, "Seventeen. ”

"No, you're lying. Forder squinted, "You're eighteen." ”

Ron turned his head to look at Muse, he didn't know what Forde was talking about.

"Please, he's not the one you're looking for, are you stupid again?" said the Muse reproaching Forder, "Even if you can't read, you at least know what other people look like." Please, stop making jokes like that. ”

"Who knows?" Foul muttered as he took his wine, "Disguise is a simple thing. ”

"There was also a young man who joined the Holy Alliance a month ago, and he is also the Demon Division, why don't you ask him?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to go. ”

"Then give me the portrait of the criminal, and I can at least help you get rid of a lot of people. ”

"This is a secret of our Prison Department and cannot be disclosed to outsiders. ”

"Did you forget that this was your secret when you were drunk yelling in the halls about how you couldn't catch that damn bastard?"

"Say whatever you want. I'm going to sleep. ”

With that, Forde drank the wine in one gulp, then pushed open an inner door in the office, walked into the room, and slipped headlong into the bed.

"This is my bed!" reminded the muse, "go back to your own bed!"

"My bed was so dirty. Forde muttered, "Also, please close the door." ”

The muse sighed, then got up and closed the door. Turning around, he looked into Ron's puzzled eyes and explained, "Mr. Forde received a mission to capture criminals who escaped from the Supreme Prison half a month ago, but there has been no trace. And the criminal is about the same age as you, so when he meets a boy about your age, he will interrogate him like this. It's crazy, I really can't understand why someone would let him carry out this mission, are the people in the Prison Department all stupid? when he can't complete the task in half a year, he will continue to choose to let him disgrace the Holy Alliance!"

"Hey, I'm not asleep yet!" Foul's voice came loud from inside the room, "and besides, your door is poorly insulated!"

The muse shook his head and ignored him.

Ron suddenly said, "Is Mr. Forde a black-clothed deacon?" I always thought that the address you wrote for me belonged exclusively to the Demon Division. ”

"No, no, no, in the embassy, anyone who belongs to the alliance can enter. The Muse replied, "You are new to the city, and I will explain it to you." The Holy Alliance has embassies in small cities in four countries, and these embassies act as post stations for the Alliance's personnel, where you can resupply, rest, and so on, all you need to do is show your identification. ”

"In every embassy there will be permanent staff, like me, and Ms. Eve, who is part of the IAIA Division, and others. Generally speaking, however, the Prison Warden was not permanently present at the embassy, because every deacon was too busy, and they often had to travel thousands of miles to hunt down prisoners, or lurk for months to assassinate the deacon. The reason you see Mr. Forde staying in this embassy is that his prisoner has been in Blanslin all along. ”

"Also, the embassy is really just a name for outsiders, and we all call it an external station, and I'm the head of the headquarters here, and Ms. Eve is the deputy minister. In addition, there are also the Deputy Department of Finance, the Deputy Department of Security Inspection, the Action Team, the Deputy Department of Logistics and so on. You don't really need to know much about the rest, the only ones that are closely related to you are the three departments of finance, security and the task force. ”

"Hmm...... Let me think about what else you should know...... Oh, by the way, you should have seen that little merchant cabinet when you walked in, where you could buy weapons and so on. If you have any needs, you can ask the front desk lady and she will arrange someone to handle it for you. Also, she has the ritual items that connect to the Alliance headquarters, and if there is a demon disorder in Branslin, she is responsible for telling everyone. Also, you can also take on some monster quests in the wilderness from her, and you can get paid. Therefore, don't think that she can do whatever you want with her as a front desk lady, in fact, in every embassy, except for your direct boss, the last person you can mess with is her. ”

Ron smacked his lips, he knew how could an ordinary person be the front desk lady in the Alliance Embassy?

At this point, the Muse couldn't think of anything else to say, so he asked, "Do you have any questions?"

"Speaking of which, I do have a question that I really want to understand right now. ”

"Oh?"

The muse frowned slightly, could it be the lost chapter of history, or the use of the talisman, the master, or some other unbelievable question? If I can't answer it, my reputation will be damaged.

Muse thought to himself.

Ron smirked, "I wonder if there are any cheap homes around Ersfield Queens?"

What the?

Muse's eyes widened.

Damn! Sure enough, he hit his blind spot, a fatal blow!
