Section 8: Born to Cause Trouble (Part I)
Verse 8: Born to pound luàn (above
Townsend was pondering how to get out of the awkward atmosphere when a subordinate came to report that someone had been sent from the guild. Townsend used the excuse of receiving guests, and only then did he get rid of the fate of being taught a lesson - Hughes is an elder, yes, but who wants to be disciplined by an elder?
Townsend came out of the guild and came to be a senior apprentice Salevy.
"Mr. Townsend, I have come to deliver the orders of His Excellency the Branch President. Salevi smiled and handed over a xiǎo scroll: "The branch application general association sent personnel to investigate the fire in Yintao City, I thought it would take a few days to ......"
"I thought?" Townsend looked at each other sincerely.
"yes, that's what we all think. Salevi nodded: "But just now, the people sent by the General Association have arrived." ”
"So fast, only a few days?" Townsend stammered the scroll with a confused face, "What does it have to do with me?"
"I heard that this master was already working nearby, and he came directly after receiving the order, so it was very fast. ”
"Unfortunately, Your Excellency, the branch president, convened a group study for all the paranormal masters a few days ago. Salevi explained: "This kind of training is very important and cannot be stopped in the middle of the training. But the people who came above had to be accompanied, so His Excellency thought of Mr. Townsend. Sir is a member of the Association, and he will be a junior paranormal master immediately, and he is undoubtedly the most suitable person. ”
"Won't you? This kind of chorre should be pushed to me?" the muscles on Townsend's face moved: "It's all about catching ducks on the shelves, tomorrow - my apprentice has an exam."
"Mr. Townsend, don't move. Although it is not clear how His Excellency the branch president thinks about it, it cannot be dismissed when the time comes. Salevi Xiǎo reminded: "I am Mr.'s deputy, and I will remind Mr. of the details of the reception in due course." ”
"If you look at the excitement, you will really be hated......" Townsend was full of sadness: "I am not old, and my heart and eyes are not big"
"What is Mr. Townsend talking about?" Salevi blinked, looking back at Townsend sincerely.
"I'm talking about washing up and sleeping," Townsend patted Salevy on the shoulder, turning his head and walking back: "Go to bed early and get up early"
Townsend huffed back to the courtyard and told everyone about it.
"Of course you have to go" Hughes put down the knife and fork in his hand: "What are you afraid of? Daxiǎo is also a power leader, and he can only step forward in case of trouble." And this kind of thing is within your power. ”
"Townsend is not a junior anomalist yet, and his identity is awkward. "At times like these, Marcia is better at talking.
"What is he embarrassed about? he will always send people down in a serious way, and Jacques is the most embarrassed. Hughes smiled slightly, "The West Coast chapter is doing a good job, but who are they sending now......?
"You can humiliate people, right?" Townsend snorted, "It's not an apprentice, it's not a miracle master, if you stretch out your hand and slap someone in the face—snap"
"You can play like this if you want. Hughes said lightly: "If you come forward, you may be embarrassed and ridiculed, but Townsend, there is nothing that does not have to be paid, and if you want the support of the West Coast chapter, you have to do something for the chapter." So you can't shirk this matter, not only do it, but also do it well. ”
"I understand this truth," Townsend asked tentatively, "what I don't understand is that it's just a reception of people on top, and it's not good or bad, right? Just send someone to eat, drink and play with me, why send me, don't you have to pay out of my own pocket for the reception fee?"
"You were a part of the whole event, and you were a witness to the West Coast chapter. Hughes said, "Witnessing is the most important thing." ”
"I think not only that, but also reception or witnessing are suitable for people who are harmonious and wealthy. Townsend shook his head: "I'm not familiar with the rules of the guild at all, and the Jacques branch leader has other plans for doing this." ”
"Do you think it's easy to be the president?" Hughes smiled again, his smile no longer so cold: "At this critical time, you can't let the local forces look down on you, and you can't let the people sent by the general assembly look down on you. You have to endure when you have to, and you can't bear when you have to. ”
"When and what attitude to take, it's up to you to judge the whole thing"
"That's what the branch president Jacques really thinks" Townsend nodded: "But when it comes to causing trouble and offending people, who should I do with this kind of thing?"
"Jacques has had a rough few days, someone wants to deal with him, he wants to fight back, but there is no evidence, so you have to find something for him. Hughes affirmed Townsend's thoughts: "Even if you offend people, but you are not a big person, Jacques will redeem it for you, an excuse of 'young and ignorant', everything is erased." Do the big names of the general association still have to meet the xiǎo horn sè of the branch, as long as they don't get their hands on it. ”
"What if people just want to clean me up?" asked Townsend.
"Aren't you able to fight?" Hughes glanced at him and said slowly, "You know what? Edward was killed by you. ”
"He's not dead, isn't he protected by President Jacques?" Townsend asked strangely, "Is that the ability of a big huā bone......"
"Abilities always come with surprises, and sometimes your hands shake a little...... Who knows, Jacques is not a good learner. Hughes sighed and put down the cup in his hand: "I heard that the night view of Yintao City is good, I want to go and enjoy it." ”
Townsend and Marcia glanced at each other, and both understood that Edward's death would not be so simple, because when he was protected by Jacques, everyone's reaction was a look of relief, which shows that Jacques's healing ability is very effective - second-level ability, Edward is a second-level ability, and he died so quietly? No, there is definitely an inside story in this
Uncle Hughes is so powerful, Jacques is ...... He's also a guy with a black hand and a black heart.
"Oh, by the way, there's something few people know. On the night of the fire in the city, there were many fights within a hundred and fifty miles outside the city, with at least two hundred dead and wounded + passionate on both sides, and there were even signs of evil abilities. After taking a few steps, Hughes turned back and said, "This is the background of the whole thing, just keep it in your heart, don't go out and talk too much." ”
Townsend nodded in thanks, turned around and gave a thumbs up to Marcia - that's all the benefits of holding the big tui
Early the next morning, Janssen dressed in a simple anomalous suit, first rounded with Salevi in the same costume, and then rode the guild carriage to the palace district.
There is no rank mark on the regular clothes of the supernatural masters, and there are no rank requirements for the wearer, and they are the first choice for people with extraordinary abilities when engaging in foreign affairs activities - real high-end people have no time to engage in social activities, and those who are generally caught to take the top post are xiǎo horn sè, who doesn't have vanity? It's too unreasonable to hang an apprentice badge on your body
"This master sent by the General Association is an NV, and the information says that she is a fourth-level anomalist named Edwina. Salevi whispered to Townsend about today's big shot: "According to the news from my classmates in other chapters, this master is more serious and strict with people, and he is not very good at fighting. ”
"I guessed, the people who will always be sent here, it's strange that they don't have a temper. Townsend asked, "How many levels of ability master is the title of master......?"
"Our Psychic Master Guild does not have the title of master, strictly speaking, we default to the supernatural master above level 6 to be called a master, which is what is done in foreign-related official documents. But usually, those above the fourth level can use this title to compliment. Because the fourth level is only one step away from the level of the branch leader. ”
"Understood. Townsend nodded.
"Let's go on to say that this NV master is very good at time rewinding and mirror reorganization, and has been asked to investigate cases many times by the outside world, and the success rate is very high, and this time he originally came out to investigate the evil ability. But who made our matter more urgent, and there was still a time limit, so the master put down the matter in his hand and came directly. ”
"What is time rewind and mirror reconstruction?" asked Townsend, curiously.
"These are two support abilities that are difficult to master and require extremely high talent, and it is even rumored that practicing these two abilities is all about talent and has nothing to do with hard work. Salevi yearns for infinite yearning: "Going back in time, you can see what happened in a place a few days ago, and mirror recombination is an ability that can peel back layers of different scenes, leaving the closest thing to the truth." ”
"It's amazing," Townsend said quietly, "With such a psychic master, there is no secret in the world at all." ”
"Not really, they can only cast their abilities in a field that has not been completely destroyed. "Some bad people will completely destroy the scene when they do bad things, but they will still be humble and leave a little clue that it is possible to find out," Salevi said. It's up to you to see who has the better luck, and someone once retraced the entire homicide from a piece of wood at the scene, and it became a legend. ”
"Legendary, indeed, you brought my interest up. After getting this information, Townsend raised his vigilance, because he had done the two fires himself, but there was only a smile on his face: "People who will always come down, how do they get along in general?"
"If it's just a general jiāo, everyone can save face, but if it involves a conflict of interest, it's hard to say. Salevi shook his head and lowered his voice: "The master of the association, it is common for people from big places to look down on rural places like ours...... Who told us that the West Coast is in the middle of nowhere, and going out to buy a dress is a few years ago?"
Townsend smiled and didn't answer, because any further words would have turned into a complaint.
After arriving at the place, the convoy of Yintao City had already lined up, and Towngend's carriage could only follow at the end of the line-what kind of master actually ordered to set off without even seeing the two of Townsend, and it was extremely unsympathetic to the meeting.
A slight sneer slipped into the corner of Townsend's mouth, it seems that this errand is not easy to do
