Chapter.17 Signed
Antar cleared his throat, as if emboldening himself, and said loudly again:
"Boss! Someone brought it to you! ”
The man on the couch was startled, turned sideways, and fell to the ground.
Underneath the magazine, there is a beautiful face with blonde hair and blue eyes.
In addition, the man's stature is also quite thin.
Lyndon felt that if he wore a wig and a mask and mixed up with Ronan University, there would not even be anyone suspicious.
"Ouch!"
He let out a cry of pain, leaned on the coffee table, and stood up slowly.
The man complained:
"Antar, how many times have I told you, knock on the door before you come in."
"Boss, I'm ......"
"Alright, you go out first! I'm going to talk to Mr. Lyndon alone. ”
"Okay."
Antar turned to leave, leaving Lyndon alone with the man.
"Hello, Mr. Linden, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
The man smiled gently,
"Introduce yourself, Ian Fielding. You may be seated! ”
Ian walked over to the dark wooden desk and offered to bring Lyndon a delicate leather chair.
"Antar has mentioned you to me several times, and I am very curious about you."
"Why is he talking to anyone about me?"
"Probably you impressed Antar!
There's an unruly outsider in the East Block, and not only us, but the other groups of night watchmen are also interested in you. ”
Ian's words surprised Lyndon.
Why didn't he join the Night's Watch yet, but he became famous among his colleagues.
But the first thing the night watchman said when he saw him was "Antar has mentioned you".
Lyndon threw himself this question:
"Why are you interested in me, have I done any special behavior?"
If so, I will correct it and be a low-key ordinary resident.
He added this from the bottom of his heart.
"What has been done? No, Mr. Linden, you underestimate yourself too much. ”
Ian crossed his fingers and held his chin up with the back of his hand,
"I should say that everything you do is beyond our understanding.
From the moment you break into the clinic, the night watchman is watching you. Jana is our registered night watch...... You may also be told that the Night's Watch will train demons to assist us in our daily operations, and we have named them Night's Watch...... Jana Kennedy, she was powerful enough to kill ordinary people with ease.
But after you break into her range, not only do you survive, you even take her away. But that's a good thing, there's something wrong with her father, and you can take her away and save us the trouble of the future.
Then, Antar asks you to meet at the Old Pier on East Street. That evil spirit was originally a target for us to deal with, and even if you didn't go there, Antar would have dealt with it. But what? He put you in danger because of his negligence, but you still deal with it. Your reason is that Jana helps, well, trust you. But how can you direct the Night's Watch without her secret ways?
Finally, the night before yesterday, you ignored Antar's warning to investigate on your own and escaped from custody when we were short on manpower. The result? Not only do you survive in danger once again, but you even uncover important clues.
Mr. Linden, no ordinary person can do these things, not even some newcomers of the night watch.
You can tell me,
Do you have any secrets? ”
In the face of Ian's unkind face and a series of questions, Lyndon smiled back with a warm smile:
"It's just luck."
"That's okay, I won't delve into it, until there's no evidence that you're going to do something bad to Loft."
Ian spread his hands and smiled,
"You are welcome to be part of the extended family."
"Antar told me that I need to go through the most basic training, when can I start?"
"Now if you wish."
"I'm ready."
"Then sign these two documents first."
"Clerical?"
"See for yourself!"
Ian pulled out two black books.
Lyndon took the book, the first cover of which read "The Vigil Ordinance", and when he opened the cover, the prologue read:
[I voluntarily join the Night Watch and abide by all the rules and regulations of the Night Watch Regulations.
In the endless long night, save the traveler who has lost himself;
In the endless darkness, it becomes a beacon of illumination;
In the name of the Great Old Dreamer, I will defend your right to dream. 】
"Who are the Old Dreamers?"
"That's the founder of the Night's Watch, and everything we need to learn is a gift from Him."
Further back, there are all sorts of regulations.
This was the first time Lynden had read the Vigil in its entirety.
The last clause of the ordinance states that the Night's Watch needs to remember at all times that the Old Dreamers have witnessed the beginning of a great story,
The best way to repay Him,
It was to kill Him.
"Is He still alive, and why did you kill Him?"
"I don't know, that's what our ancestors wrote anyway.
In fact, the Night Watch organization, as well as the "Night Watch Regulations", has been passed down for an unknown number of years, and I don't know much about this kind of history as a team leader. ”
After the regulations were written, there were still ten pages left in the book, densely filled with names.
Most of the names have wavy lines in red ink underneath, and they are basically relatively high.
Judging by the ink, these names have been dormant for a long time in the book.
In the name of Lyndon at the front, he saw a one with no wavy lines.
Enovan Lee.
The old coachman, as he himself said, had been in the Night's Watch for a long time.
"It's been nearly fifty years, and all the members of our group, each group leader, has a copy of the Vigil Ordinance. The red line marks those who died in the line of duty. You flip to the end and sign your name. Well, pens. ”
Ian handed Lyndon a pen.
He flipped to the end, and the last of all the signatures was Antar.
Antar did not write his surname, only a short name.
Lyndon wrote his name on his next line,
He thought about it, and didn't use his surname.
Stlev.
Lyndon Strave, this is the full name of the original owner of the body.
After signing his name, he opened another black book.
This book is much thinner than the Vigil Ordinance, and the opening chapter makes the whole book clear.
[Vigil Management Agreement]
- About Jana Kennedy, a Guide to Training and Education as a Trainable Object]
Lyndon quickly flipped through the book, which listed the things that the Night's Watch couldn't do, and detailed how to cultivate them to increase their strength.
The manual states:
[The strength of the Night Watch must always be below the Night Watch itself.]
In the event that the Night's Watch has a problem with the demon, its manager must take the initiative to clean it up. 】
"Is the Night's Watch at risk of getting out of control?"
"Of course, it should be said that every activity carried out by the night watchman carries risks."
Ian looked at him with interest,
"If you quit now, I can cross out your signed name. As long as you accept our confidentiality, you can withdraw at any time. ”
Lyndon held the pen in his hand, thought seriously for a while, and said:
"The management agreement shouldn't be for me!"
"Yes, you are an alternative to the agreement. As is customary, the Night's Watch must have close ties with its administrators, and Jana itself is to be ruled by her father.
However, as you know, there was an accident, and this agreement was almost nullified some time ago. ”
"If I don't sign it, what will it matter?"
"You can still be the Night's Watch as usual."
"But what?"
Lyndon knew Ian's words, and there must be a second half.
"But Cana can't keep her, we'll get her back from you.
Well......
Dr. Kennedy made the terms of the deal with us, so he didn't sign the agreement. After his death, we have no trading partner, and the terms will naturally be null and void. ”
"She shouldn't be able to survive after you take her, right?"
Lyndon deliberately avoided the word recycling, describing the distinctive Jana as an object, which would make him feel uncomfortable.
"It's hard to say, what if there is a suitable candidate in the other group who can make her obey? If someone is willing to take over in the short term, Jana will not be erased. ”
From Antar to Ian, they are accustomed to seeing spirits, including Jana, either as objects to be destroyed or as tools to be used.
Admittedly, from the standpoint of the night watchman, there is no problem.
It's just that......
Isn't Jana also a victim of enchantment?
According to the Vigil Ordinance, she is also a traveler who needs to be led forward and lose herself.
"I'm not a big fan of desserts."
"Huh?"
Ian raised an eyebrow with a smile on his face.
"That's why someone has to eat all the desserts that my office has stockpiled."
Lyndon flipped to the last page of the management agreement and found the place where it was signed.
The dark gold nib dances lightly on the paper, and with the last stroke, it is gracefully returned to the sleeve like a dancer's curtain call.
