In the days that followed, Leo and Sylvia stayed in the archives, looking through various materials within their purview, and sometimes requesting information outside of their purview, and under normal circumstances, as long as the information did not involve some kind of secret, most of them were able to apply successfully.

The whereabouts of the two of them these days had been carefully reported by the attendant officer to the superiors of the Special Operations Division, and the Special Operations Division was obviously satisfied with their performance at the moment, and there was no suspicion about them, and now for the people above, how much reward should be given to Leo and Sylvia.

The Special Operations Service has a well-established plan for the evaluation of merit rewards and punishments, but the current situation cannot be solved with this plan, because their merit cannot be quantified by this plan.

This is mainly because the Special Operations Department does not know how valuable the bone is, but it only knows that this bone is highly valued by Louis X, and even the main meritorious person Colin was given a knighthood by Louis X on the day he arrived in the imperial capital.

Although knighthood is only the lowest title among the nobility and cannot be hereditary, an ordinary person can obtain the title of knight is already considered to have crossed the status level, and the difficulty cannot be crossed by some people even in their lifetime.

And more importantly, after Louis X ascended the throne, he consciously idle the number of nobles, not only with the help of the establishment of the United Kingdom, cleaning up a large number of nobles who are not the same heart as himself, but also modifying the conditions for canonization of nobles, greatly raising the conditions required for canonization of nobles, even if they are soldiers who have made great achievements, most of the time they are rewarded with money and some noble privileges, and will not directly grant noble titles.

From the accession of Louis X to the present, he has only canonized a total of seven nobles, and these seven nobles are all the diehards who helped him the most in the process of his accession to the throne, and a person like Colin who was born as a low-level warrior is not eligible for nobility no matter how you look at it, but things are often so unexpected that Louis X personally decreed to give Colin the title of nobleman, which made all the onlookers surprised and curious about the bone.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Leo hadn't been in the Special Operations Division, someone would have come to their door to get specific information about the bones from them.

The Special Operations Division was also curious about what the bone was, but they were able to suppress their curiosity because they knew very well that the only result of finding out what they shouldn't know was to disappear.

It was precisely because of the lack of clarity about the value of bones that the Special Operations Division did not know for a while how much credit should be given to Leo and Sylvia in disguise.

If it is light, it will inevitably cause a backlash from the bottom of the Special Operations Division, because the credit that is enough to make people knighted is only given such a small reward, so how much credit will they have for the tasks they have completed? How much reward can they receive? Will their credit be swallowed up from above? and so on, questions will appear in their minds, and once suspicion of the upper echelons arises, then in the future, the various tasks assigned by the Special Operations Division may be passive and sabotage, and may even be used by British spies. A member of the front line of rebellion.

But it is also not good to give it heavily, because if there is such a precedent, then all subsequent tasks that cannot quantify merit may be used by the people below to obtain the maximum merit reasonably and legally, then the original set of rewards and punishments will be useless.

Therefore, the question of how much reward should be given to Leo and Sylvia has become the most discussed issue in the upper echelons of the Special Operations Service these days.

"Why don't you give them a royal academy qualification in addition to promoting them and rewarding them with some money?" said a Special Operations Division officer who specializes in the training of detectives.

Everyone listened to his suggestion and felt that it was feasible, although going to the Royal Academy for further study could not directly give Leo and Sylvia a noble identity, but it could give the two of them another sense of identity, and an agent who had studied at the Royal Academy was far easier than other ordinary agents in terms of promotion and salary increase.

Almost on the day the decision was made, the relevant merit reward notice had already fallen into the hands of Leo and Sylvia, and there was also a notice of further study at the Royal Academy, but this notice was different from the normal notice, and it was not filled in the subject column of the notice, obviously this was to let Leo decide the subject of study by themselves.

In addition, the Special Operations Service has also found Leo and Sylvia a place to live in Winter Winter, which is located near the Royal Academy, an apartment in the lower city, and they can move in at any time.

Now, Leo and Sylvia have been granted temporary residency in the Imperial Capital, and they can stay until the end of their training, and in addition to the Royal Academy, they will need to go to the headquarters of the Special Operations Division every ten days for training in other aspects, such as establishing a management branch, using new weapons, learning about new mutant abilities, etc.

Leo and Sylvia checked in as soon as they were notified, and filled in the occult studies in the subjects of the Royal Academy, which was not a surprise to the Special Operations Division, as the choice of occult studies was also in their intended subjects.

With the formalities completed, the Special Operations Division drove the two into the city in a horse-drawn carriage, took them all the way to their assigned apartment, and then handed them the apartment keys, living expenses, relevant documents, and a thick booklet, and left.

Leo took the booklet and looked at it, then handed it to Sylvia, and smiled, "This saves us a lot of trouble." ”

Sylvia smiled as she took it.

It turns out that this booklet was specially written by the Special Operations Department for agents who came to the imperial capital for further study, although the booklet is not large, but the content on it is very rich, such as which big nobles are in the imperial capital, which officials with real power, which places are forbidden areas that cannot be visited, what things can not be done, etc., and even in order to prevent the agents from accidentally entering some forbidden areas, they also specially drew a very detailed map of the imperial capital, marking which places are regarded as forbidden places and places where big nobles live.

It is no exaggeration to say that even with Leo's ability, if he wants to gather the information on this booklet, he not only needs to visit the entire imperial capital, but also must avoid the eyes and ears of the monitors of the Special Operations Division, and avoid being suspected by the secret agents of the various secret departments of the imperial capital, which requires a lot of energy and time.

Now this booklet will save Leo a lot of time, allowing him to concentrate on surveying the palace, and by the way, he will be able to squeeze in a lot of time to see if he can learn anything useful at the Royal Academy of France.

The apartment arranged for them by the Special Operations Department is not very large, it is a very ordinary two-story apartment, in addition to two bedrooms on the second floor of the apartment, there is also a study, the kitchen, living room and bathroom are downstairs, because the Special Operations Department has already packed up the apartment before, the two just put down their salutes, tidy up their clothes, and left the apartment, going to the Royal Academy not far away to go through the enrollment procedures.

Because they had already been vetted, the Special Operations Division did not conduct protective surveillance on the two men, and the attendant officers assigned to the two were also recalled, treating them as ordinary trainees.

It's just that the removal of surveillance is only the Special Operations Division, but the surveillance of the Imperial Security Service has not been removed, and Leo can still find some Security Agency agents disguised as ordinary civilians around the apartment, and they are not entirely to monitor Leo and them, but more to use the two bait of Leo and Sylvia to see who is curious about the bone and wants to find out.

Thanks to the Special Operations Division's prior greetings, Leo and Sylvia went through the enrollment process smoothly without any trouble, and got the tutorials and class schedules, and the two of them also got a reading card for the Royal Academy Library by the way.

At the time of leaving, Leo and Sylvia were introduced by the Academy's Admissions Instructor to hire a student to take them on a tour of the Royal Academy and familiarize them with the surroundings inside and outside the Academy.

In fact, Sylvia has been in Winter Rin City for a period of time, and she has also studied in the Royal Academy, but she was a noble lady at the time, and when she came out of the residence, she took a carriage to her destination, and when she left, she took a carriage home, and she had not visited the imperial capital at all, not even the inside of the academy, she only knew about some noble mansions and a few academy buildings, and she was not much better than Leo in her understanding of other places here.

The hired Royal Academy student is obviously from a poor background who is not wealthy, and it can be seen from the clothes that have been washed a little white that his family background is not very good, and because of his status as a student of the Royal Academy, he can't just look for things to do outside, so he can only take on some work similar to a guide under the introduction of his mentor.

Throughout the Royal Academy, there were still many students like him who came from poor backgrounds, mainly because the Royal Academy opened up admission places for civilian students.

At first, the Royal Academy did not recruit students from commoners, but only for nobles and soldiers who had made military achievements, and later for some unknown reasons, the Royal Academy opened up the number of civilian enrollment places, and the number is increasing every year, and now the number of civilian students has exceeded the number of nobles and military merit combined.

Because of the increase in the number of civilian students, there has been a factional struggle between commoners and nobles within the Royal Academy, but military merit people like Leo and Sylvia in disguise stand in neutrality, so when this civilian student leads Leo and Sylvia to visit the academy, they will deliberately avoid the area where the noble students live.

The entire Royal Academy is very large, with hundreds of teaching buildings, more than 50 subjects of the entire college are taught in this hundred teaching buildings, in addition to a large number of faculty apartments, and some other living facilities, this is only the main body of the college, in addition to the college has some branches and laboratories of subjects, set up in other neighborhoods of the imperial capital and other surrounding cities.

All in all, it was difficult to walk around the entire academy in just one day, and in one afternoon, Leo and Sylvia just walked through the area of the teaching building for the subject of occultism, and also walked around the downtown under the guidance of the student to get a sense of the situation in the lower town.

It was getting late, so Leo and the student agreed on a time to continue the tour, paid for the guide this time, and returned to their apartment with their textbooks.

"Are you really planning to study here for a while?" Sylvia asked after Leo said there were no watchers around.

Leo nodded and said: "The old man Rembrandt once praised the collection of books of the Royal Academy of France, and also said that in the subject of occultism, the Royal Academy of France has advantages that other academies do not have, even the Orthodox Court may not be able to compare with it, because the Royal Academy of France is backed by the most mysterious Black Forest in the world, so I want to stay here for a while and take this opportunity to collect some information." ”

"And ...... our previous plans?" Sylvia asked.

Leo was able to prioritize and said, "This will not affect our previous plans, as long as the time is right, we will do it, and everything will be prioritized according to the previous plan." As he spoke, he asked Sylvia, "Have you found out what you wanted to check before?"

"Not yet. Sylvia shook her head and said, "Because someone is not suitable for surveillance, but the direction of suspicion has been found, and I believe it won't take long to find out." ”

Leo asked, "Can you tell me what you're looking for?"

"No need to help! Sylvia shook her head and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just a few family artifacts handed down by the Belmont family. The United Kingdom was established very suddenly, I didn't have time to go back to the empire to transfer the Belmont family's property, the Belmont family's mansion in Winter Rin, but also on the day the news of the establishment of the United Kingdom came, several Belmont family artifacts stored in the mansion were missing at that time, it should have been taken by the person who confiscated them, I am now investigating the whereabouts of those artifacts, so that I can get them back. ”

"If you need my help, you'll ......" Leo was about to say something when his voice suddenly stopped, and he looked out the window.

Sylvia quickly understood that Leo's reaction must have been to find something outside, but she looked outside and couldn't find anything, so she asked Leo, "What did you find?"

"Nothing, nothing?" Leo gave a confusing answer, perhaps knowing that he would not be able to solve the puzzle by answering like this, adding, "I feel that there should be something outside, but with the real eye I can't see anything unusual." ”
