Chapter 103: Recruitment of Newcomers
"In the afternoon, I can find an undisturbed place to finish reading the book of "Six Hundred Years of Mystery". Consumed 'Destiny Charms' will also be replenished...... The newcomers in the squad need to be taught urgently, and I need to make them able to take charge of themselves......"
All sorts of plans flashed through Grandin's mind, but he lay in his chair, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling of the dining room.
He can still think, but emotions such as laziness and slackness begin to grow stronger, and they are entangled with him in his mind, refusing to leave.
"If you've decided to be a paycheck thief, it's not impossible to put it on tomorrow. Today I want to stay here quietly and do nothing......"
When such negative thoughts slowly appeared, a different current suddenly flashed in Grandin's mind.
He does like to be lazy, but even if he wants to fish, he is used to starting after he has done everything.
Not to mention that if you don't complete the study tasks assigned by Bishop Rosen, you may be skinned by the old man when you return to Beckland in the future. Just because he didn't have the 'Destiny Charm' on his body would make him feel a clear sense of panic and feel uncomfortable.
This dissonance between his own state and his will finally caught his attention. When he began to examine himself, he soon discovered his anomaly, but he still couldn't find a way to resist the subtle change. CoM
How's everyone doing?
Grandin looked up at the other team members he had just ignored. Only then did he realize that the team members were also like himself, and their expressions were a little sluggish.
"That's it! Don't sit back and be in a daze, let's go out and soak up the sun! ”
Lorota clapped her hands, and after getting everyone's attention, she began to drive the team downstairs one by one.
"By the way, Seli said that she had to bask in the sun for a while at noon...... Am I being infected by the breath of the cemetery before I know it? ”
Grandin, who figured out why, complied with Lotrotta's arrangement, and lazily followed the rest of the team out of the cafeteria one after another, and finally came outside to start basking in the sun.
In the midday sun, he felt a faint cold aura leaving him.
"It's dangerous, it's like boiling a frog in warm water, this long, tiny infection bypasses my spiritual warnings, but it's just as deadly."
His mind gradually became active, and the emotions of fear, panic, and fear that had just been suppressed by the cemetery returned to him, making his heart beat a few times rapidly.
"My spiritual warning is not omnipotent, and I still have to be more vigilant against this kind of subtle change in the future."
After knowing the correct way to deal with it, Grandin cooperated with the sun and washed his whole body with spirituality, and his state quickly returned to normal.
However, the rest of the Nightwatcher team was not so easy, and they were still ordinary people, and they could only recover from their anomalies by exercising and sunbathing.
However, this scene is a little scary to outsiders. They were like a herd of living corpses, stiffening around the cemetery.
"What do you think of our Night Watch Squad?"
Lorota, unaffected by the cemetery, asked as she stood beside Grandin with her hands folded around her chest.
At this time, Milton, who was on the same hand and foot, walked past them, and he was already an extraordinary person, and his performance was even worse than that of Selie.
Of course, this may have something to do with the sequence of the two of them.
"Our team still has a lot of room for improvement." Grandin comforted.
But even if he said it so tactfully, Lorota's momentum was visibly depressed.
In order not to dampen Lorotta's enthusiasm for work, he finally considered his suggestion:
"It's almost impossible to boost their sequences in a short period of time. So I think the most important thing now is to make them proficient in the use of firearms and master the crafting of charms, which can effectively improve their combat effectiveness. ”
But now the only two full members have their own problems. Milton's ability to fight head-on as a 'voyeur' is almost non-existent, and it will take him to use ritual magic to support him until he has accumulated a great deal of occult knowledge.
And Sai Li's mentality is not up to par, which leads to her not being able to be promoted to the 'corpse collector' now, and her combat ability is also worrisome.
"Rapid expansion of the manpower can also quickly improve the strength of the squad." Lorota answered.
In fact, this is the most efficient way. Ideally, members of the Nightwatch can be selected from the military, police, or gangs. Even if these people don't have potions, their combat ability is guaranteed to a certain extent, and they can be cultivated more easily.
But this path does not work, and the secrecy clause in the church makes it impossible for them to openly select talents in the society. Because if the recruitment fails, someone has to bear the consequences of the covert leak.
"If you're willing to take the blame, I can go to the Coast Defense Force and the National Police Department today to hand out leaflets." Grandin complained about Lorrotta's unrealistic ideas.
"Ahh It's annoying! Lorota clutched at her hair in exasperation, "There aren't many extraordinary and mysterious events involved, and even fewer ordinary people who are involved in them and still survive. Want us to pull people in these unlucky ......"
"You forgot to say one more thing. Now we don't even have access to otherworldly events, which are almost contracted by the Storm Church's substitute punishers. ”
Grandin's reminder added to Lotta's irritability.
"Grandin! It is the responsibility of the subordinates to solve the problems for the boss! Lorota put on the captain's shelf.
"It's not like going to the market to buy groceries, you can buy them if you want to."
Grandin paid no heed to her threat.
Bourkeso can develop a little, but I don't know if his character can adapt to the work of the night watchman. But if you don't care about the quality, bring someone in first......
His heart moved, and he thought of a suitable person-
The orphan who was known as a monster in Tingen.
He couldn't remember the name of this orphan who was born with half of the 'monster' ability, but he probably wouldn't refuse his recruitment, after all, he was the only one who had the recipe for the 'monster' sequence path.
This orphan has no one to rely on, and if you want to get out of it, you can only rely on him.
Grandin pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"I do know a ...... He probably wouldn't refuse to join the Night Watch Squad. The last time I was wandering around the city of Tingen, I found an orphan who was born with a half-starting ...... of the 'monster' sequence."
"In the same sequence as you? Wouldn't that be strong! Of course we'll have to raise him first, but why didn't you talk about it the last time you came back? ”
Lorota seemed to have unrealistic fantasies about the 'monster' sequence, and she asked with interest.
"After all, it's someone else's territory, and I can't interfere at will."

sp; Grandin sighed.
"This is a critical moment related to the life and death of the Enmat's market value nighter team! Forget about the redundant formalities! ”
Lorota put her hands on Grandin's shoulders, straining slightly.
How can it be such an exaggeration, as if no new members are recruited, the night watchman team will be disbanded tomorrow.
However, considering his fragile shoulder blades, Grandin wisely did not refute.
"The night watchmen, the substitutes, and the mechanical hearts in Tingen City, they didn't absorb this 'monster', doesn't that mean they can't cultivate him? You went to get him back, and you also helped your colleagues in Tingen solve a problem. ”
"You can go tomorrow, and I will prepare the relevant materials for you."
Lorota made her decision immediately, knowing that Grandin had a fair degree of freedom of action as a 'Occult Advisor'. Other serious members of the Night Watch team who wish to leave the station must apply for and be approved.
"I know, I'll go to Tingen on Saturday and if it goes well, I'll be back on Monday with the new players."
Such small things do not need to be considered. He doesn't have to go to work on weekends, and a trip to Tingen takes him a little more time.
After finalizing this matter, the rest of the time was relatively uneventful.
Grandin begins teaching Sally and Milton how to make charms. Instead of instilling this knowledge in the two of them, he chose to take it step by step, allowing them to learn by making amulets.
Milton was quick to get started with a fair amount of occult knowledge from the 'Voyeur' potion, but Sally had to rely entirely on her own efforts.
Teaching took up most of his afternoons, making him forget that he had to make a 'Destiny Charm'. Before he left work, he had time to go to Lorota and ask if she could be reimbursed for the round-trip fare.
On the second floor, the single office belonging to Lorota was open.
He saw his temporary captain at the door, scrambling through papers.
"You're here just in time to help me find a job."
Lorota looked very embarrassed, and all kinds of documents were scattered all over the place.
"Lorotta, I'm just trying to recruit him, there's no guarantee that this recruitment will be successful......," Grandin said, relying on his instincts, pulling out the newcomer's contract from the garbage heap on his desk. At the same time, he also found the 'transportation expense reimbursement form' he needed.
"I have faith in you." Lorota breathed a sigh of relief, she took the contract and locked it in a drawer, "Because you never talk big, and you will do what you promise others." Gran, you're actually a pretty reliable teammate. ”
"I'll take your compliment." Grandin sighed, took out his pocket watch from his arms, opened it and looked at it, "There are still fifteen minutes before the end of work, so if you have any orders, please bring them up as soon as possible." ”
"My compliments come from the bottom of my heart." Lorota felt embarrassed to see through, but she quickly overcame her weakness, "I want you to help me tidy up my office, I'm not very good at cleaning, tidying up, etc." ”
"Yes, I've seen that."
Grandin took off his coat and put it on the back of his chair, then rolled up the sleeves of his shirt.
"Lorota, is Sally also born half a Sequence 9?"
In this afternoon's teaching, he found that Saili's spirituality is very powerful, and it has surpassed the scope of ordinary people.
"Half a block was destroyed by a fight between wild extraordinaires, and Sally was the only normal person to survive the incident, and since then she has been able to see spirits."
"What about the two Wild Extraordinaires?" Grandin wiped the dust off the filing cabinet with a rag.
"Nobody knows." Lorota pulled out a magazine from under the couch, "Do you expect to find something complete at the scene of a violent explosion?" ”
Fear of spirits and gore was also a psychological wound left at that time? Maybe you can find a real psychiatrist for her treatment.
After a little understanding, Grandin asked about another thing that he was more concerned about:
"When I was teaching, I found that there was not enough spiritual material stored in our team. I'm running out of materials, is there any place I can replenish? ”
"Are you looking for a black market?" Lorota packed the useless paperwork into a bundle, "There's a 'fish and lettuce' market in the East End. Behind the market is an abandoned old mansion, the local black market, which is open every afternoon. ”
"It's that easy to find it?" If that's the case, then why bother Harris, Grandin was a little puzzled.
"It's just a black market, do you still want to learn what you wrote before you go in, and first say a wave of codes?"
Lorota moved the couch out of the way, and now she found a 'treasure' hidden under the couch.
This should not be the underground world Harris is looking for, he was silent for a few seconds and then said:
"Is there nowhere else?"
"That's all I know." Reminded by Grandin, Lorota also lowered her head and thought, "It's really a bit abnormal that there is only one black market in such a big city. ”
"So you've never heard of the underworld of Emmatt?"
He picked up his coat on the back of his chair and prepared to leave work. After almost being affected by the cemetery in the middle of the day, he didn't plan to stay here for long.
"I only came a few days before you." Lorota gave Grandin a blank look, "But I can send a letter to ask the local Storm Church, and this information should be shared." ”
"When I get back to Beckland, I'll ask Ms. Daly too."
Perhaps Dali could have known more than he had obtained information from the Storm Church.
Grandin waved his hand, and after greeting him, he followed the rest of his colleagues and left the Nightwatch's quarters.
Burrece Funeral Services has an agreement with a local carriage and horse dealer that a horse-drawn carriage will come every night at 5 p.m. to pick up the company's employees.
He finally remembered that he still needed to replenish the charm, so to save time, he settled dinner directly at Old Fury's tavern. However, the meal was not bad, with golden lanzi, pan-fried cod and wine mussels.
While he was eating, old Fury had been proudly showcasing:
"The tavern will soon have a resident bard, and it will be more stylish then. Aha, I crushed old Duke again. By the way, since the service items have been added, the accommodation fee on the second floor will also increase. ”
"But old Fury, the tavern is more lively, and it doesn't seem to be a good thing for travelers who want to rest."
Grandin reminded before going upstairs.
The energetic Bourkeso went to help others solve their problems, not in the tavern.
