Chapter 12: Messages
In Pritz Hospital, the light yellow sunlight slanted into the window, compared to the hustle and bustle outside the aisle, the room where the night watch patient was located was much quieter, Wicken opened the curtain across the bed and chatted with Kelly with laughter...,
"The medicine man's potion seems to be pretty good, you've recovered so quickly." Worth came in with a bag of food.
"Captain, Neeson is recuperating at home, and he asked me to tell you." Delphine and Voss said.
"Okay, how are you, I've already told your family, you can talk about it yourself, or you can go home directly."
After Voss finished speaking, he distributed the food he had bought to everyone, and Weycan picked up the salmon crispy roll and ate it, "You know me, captain, York's pudding also has it, and Pritz pudding is the best in his family." β
Weken asked again as he ate, "Captain, when are you going to get married?" β
As soon as the words fell, Royce walked in with Hermione, "What, has Voss found a marriage partner?" That way his uncle doesn't have to worry anymore. β
Hermione directly wondered, Voss is still young, is he in such a hurry? But he usually found out what women he had dated against.
Royce explained, "Voss's full name is Voss. Frederick. Brudnell, perhaps not as well-known as Voss, but his uncle James. Thomas. Count Brudnell is a large arms producer in Port Prieze. β
Although Hermione didn't know these characters, she must be very rich, and she couldn't help but sigh, why was she as poor as she was!
"So Captainβ" Weyken fell asleep before he could finish speaking, still clutching the uneaten pie in his hand.
Voss smiled, "Let's have a nightmare first, the captain dares to joke about it." β
"Royce, this is your potion, drink it and you'll be fine." Voss pulled out a small tube of blue liquid.
Royce took it and drank it all, "It doesn't taste good, next time I see the pharmacist, let him improve the taste." After drinking, Royce felt cool, and the stuffiness and tiredness disappeared.
"It's not bad, let's see if we can fool him into the night watch, Vos, you try your best."
"The other party is a believer in the Church of Mother Earth God, and the liaison here, forget it. As long as he keeps to himself, he will keep it, and one day he will be used when he is sick, and after the disbandment of the mechanical heart, the task will be heavy. β
"Voss, look at Hermione, it just so happens that she's been short of manpower lately."
Hermione on the side felt that he would choose to become a member of the Glorious Guardian, or a seal or trait, so that he must be willing to join.
"I think Hermione is fine, I'll have to report back to the top." Voss replied earnestly. "It's safe in the Beckland area right now. It's hard to say about remote places, it's a bit confusing. β
"Hermione, are you going to be our colleague? Welcome. Kelly and Delphina also welcomed after hearing this, and they also saw Hermione's performance last night, with this fierce man, the safety of the next mission can be greatly guaranteed.
"Rest well, our mission is not yet complete?" Vos took Hermione and Royce outside.
"Vos, speaking of what your uncle is going to do with that, you also need a wife to manage your own family."
"Royce, is that even you? My uncle sent me to a dinner party this weekend, and I was wondering why I wouldn't go. You know I don't like that kind of socializing. β
"If you continue like this, I'm afraid that Old Sir James will transfer you out of the night watch through connections, after all, the night watch profession is too dangerous."
Voss and Royce were talking about trivial things in life, and Hermione was using their words to learn more about this place and those people, to see if they could make friends, and it would be convenient to fight and shake people in the future, and it would be useful to deal with the aftermath. I didn't expect that I was now a little left and right, 'Great fool, bless your weak and helpless believers!' β
At the Yorktown police station where the village of Chalfi is located, the precinct is Greg. Shelby looked at the recent precinct report and frowned, the cigarette in his hand had burned out. The tasks of the superiors were divided into checks, there were strangers everywhere, and there were many people who disappeared inexplicably, either to the Southern Continent, or to fish in the troubled waters of Fusak, isn't this embarrassing for the people at the bottom?
"Uncle Greg, are you there? I came in. With that, a tired Will walked into Greg's office.
"Will, do you have anything to report?" Greg looked up and asked, Greg worked as a policeman with Will's father, Veil Sr., and later Veil Sr. died in the line of duty, and Greg kept an eye on Vir.
"Three people have recently gone missing in the village of Chalfi, and I am investigating."
"Is it missing, it's not surprising, it may have gone to another country or the Southern Continent."
"That's not the case, uncle, I investigated and found that the three missing people, an old man, a middle-aged man, and a small teenager, they will not go overseas to pan for gold together! And I found out that they probably hadn't left the village of Chalfi at all, and I suspected they had been killed after so little news. β
"Do you have any clues or discoveries?" Greg knew that Will had come looking for him, and he must have found something.
"I've investigated, there are strangers in the Steam Church church, and there is a Father Mead who has a good relationship with me and hasn't been there for a long time, they say that Father Mead is back, but I have investigated the traffic records of Zhenshan, and they didn't see it, maybe I was negligent, but I think there is the answer to the problem."
Will spoke his reasoning, and Greg realized something.
"You didn't go in, or investigate the church."
"No, although I am very skeptical, Uncle you have reminded me that the church involved will report to you, so I usually pretend that I didn't find anything during the investigation and continue to investigate."
"Very good, be careful, I'll report this. When the time comes, someone will be sent to deal with it, you don't have to go inside to investigate privately, some things are often not as simple as they seem. β
Greg has been in the police position for so long and has been through so much, and there are some things that he knows. At the beginning, his friend Lao Wei died at the hands of those people, and he fell in front of his eyes inexplicably, and he never got up again, and he couldn't forget it.
When the above investigation order came down, he also guessed something, and now he just begged the above to send someone to deal with it as soon as possible, and he could only keep Xiao Wei away.
"Also, you don't have to look into this anymore, just take a break." Greg stopped Will, who was about to leave the house.
"Don't worry, Uncle Greg, I understand." Will smiled and walked out.
After Vir left, Greg wrote a report and quickly sent it to the Pritz General Bureau by telegram. "Hopefully I'm overthinking this time, not those people."
Port Priewds, where the Plitz detachment of the Nightwatch is located, Voss got the reply, along with Cardinal Grant. Kleinert. Rand's signature, it seems that Hermione's identity is indeed not simple!
ββ¦β¦ After the study of the meeting and the guarantee of Her Excellency Illia the "Goddess Eye", it was agreed that Hermione would be hired as an external staff member of the night watch, and the head of Port Prydze would continue to monitor Hermione......"
After reading it, Voss archived it and sealed it, and then walked outside. After two days of rest, plus the pharmacist's potion, everyone was almost fine, and Hermione was waiting outside.
Seeing Voss walk out smiling, everyone shook Hermione's hand. Voss also stepped forward, "Hello Hermione, welcome to become a colleague with us, the church hired you as an external staff for the night watchman, although the authority is not high, but we are all a family, if you have any difficulties, tell us directly." β
"Okay, Captain Vos."
Kelly then took Hermione to learn about the work of the night watchman, but since Hermione was only an external employee, she did not have enough authority to understand the core information such as seals, so in short, she was a mercenary who was paid to help deal with things.
Hermione liked this too, after all, she had to leave later, and she wouldn't stay here for long, and it would be troublesome to go in.
At this time, the receptionist walked in and said a few words to Royce, who asked Hermione to come out, and Voss seemed to follow in the fun.
Outside, Cady, who was waiting, saw the two and greeted them with a smile.
"Mr. Royce, Miss Hermione, and what is the name of this gentleman, my name is Thomas. Cuddy. β
"Just call me Voss, is there any news?" Before, Hermione and Royce went to Voss to go through the adoption procedures for Eliza Yvonne's sisters, and with the certificate, they could arrange to go to the school to study, and Voss also knew what happened to the sisters.
"Yes, Mr. Voss, I have heard that after Enise was sold, a wealthy merchant bought her and said that she was taken away as a lover."
"What's the name of that rich merchant?" All three asked at the same time
"I don't know what the name is, it's Feneport or the people from Lemburg, but it's the money paid by Lord Brudenel, and Lord Brudenel should know."
Voss cupped his forehead, eating melons and eating them to his own house, it seemed that he couldn't avoid it.
Royce next to him patted Voss, "Look at you, Voss, go ask your uncle." β
"It seems that tomorrow's dinner party can't be escaped, my uncle will definitely exchange this, everyone wait for my news, I'll ask." With that, Voss left to find his uncle.
Thomas stayed there, not expecting to be so close to the big guys.
"Mr. Voss is Lord Brudenel's nephew, I heard you right."
"You heard it right, you're doing a good job, do you want to be our informant, if there's any news from the slums, you can report it to us, and we'll pay you accordingly." Royce said
"No problem, Mr. Royce."
After a brief conversation, Thomas left.
After a while, Voss also returned, and Hermione and Royce stepped forward to ask for specific information.
"My uncle told me to attend the dinner tomorrow, and the rich businessman would be there, so let me go and ask myself."
Hermione was also a little anxious, "Can you take me?" "Hermione was afraid that it would be too difficult for Vos, so it would be better to ask for it herself.
"Okay, I'll pick you up then."
