Section 43
Phyllis couldn't think of words to describe her mentor at that time, she thought about it and jumped off the edge of the bed, followed her mentor's example and said, "The empire needs my strength now!"
Peidi looked at her sister's cute appearance and couldn't help but pinch her little face, "However, you didn't delve into magic as the mentor asked,"
"Nonsense!" Phyllis slapped Pedy's big hand away like a fried kitten, "I've been studying my homework since seven o'clock in the morning... It's all Penny, her friends are always talking so much, they always have endless jokes, they're so noisy, I need a separate magic lab. β
"You have to follow your father's consent, oh no, even if your father agrees, this is the Prime Minister's official residence, and you can't be remodeled at will!" Pei Di said with a regretful expression on his face as he rang the bell next to the bed.
"Your apartment is nice enough to take out a room and turn it into a magic lab. Phyllis stroked Amy's little head, a look of anticipation on her face.
Pei Di looked at her sister a little speechlessly, feeling that this is her real purpose, "What about the money for the transformation, I don't have any money, my father said that if you want to build a laboratory, you must pay for it yourself!"
"I don't have any money!" Phyllis unhappily pushed Amy away.
"Then work hard to make money, I heard that it is very profitable to help people carve out magic circles!" Pedi got out of bed and walked to the window and looked out into the back garden, where a group of aristocratic girls surrounded Penny, talking and laughing.
"However, with my current strength, it will take at least three days to carve a magic circle. Phyllis had a tangled look on her little face.
"How much money can I make?" asked Pedi.
Phyllis frowned and said, "Only ten silver coins." β
"Ten silver coins in three days?" Pei Di was stunned, "My dear sister, so you can earn one gold coin a month, my God, as the highest commander of the Imperial Capital City South District of the Guard Department, I only have a salary of fifty silver coins a month. β
"That's just theory, but the reality is that I have to rest for three days after each circle I sketch, and I also need to find time to learn magic and deduce the circle!" said Phyllis, spreading her hands.
"That's not bad either. Pedi looked at Lina, the maid who was standing at the door, and beckoned, then said to Phyllis, "Help me go and see what else to eat in the kitchen." β
"Cut!" Phyllis pouted as she looked at Pedi as she was about to undress, and then left with Amy.
......
While Pedi was enjoying breakfast, his servant Wren unexpectedly appeared at the Prime Minister's residence. He hurried as if he was in a hurry, but when he found Pedi eating, he waited by in a proper manner.
"Why are you here? Collier doesn't look like a man of rules. "When my father was away, Pedi didn't pay so much attention to etiquette, and he could talk about things when he ate.
"I've knocked him unconscious, and he won't wake up anytime soon. Wren looked at the servant behind Pedy, hesitated for a moment, walked behind Pedi, and whispered in Pedi's ear: "Sir Gus El's assistant, His Excellency Sean, has asked to meet with you alone, and I think this matter may be important, so..."
"Sean?" Peedy's mind immediately conjured up of a stereotypical young man who didn't match his age.
By this time, the servants had already left the dining room at Pedy's signal, and Phyllis saw her brother talking to Wren in a whisper, pouted, and returned to her small room.
"Yes, he said that there is something important, the meeting will be held at the safe house in the north of the outer city, and he also specially instructed that no one should know about this meeting... There are codes and ciphers he left behind!" Wren said, taking out a small wooden box from his bosom, "This box needs a designated key, and if you force it open, the contents will be destroyed in an instant... Lord Sean said that when you walk out of the inner city from Central Street, you will get the key to open the box. β
Pei Di was stunned, playing with the wooden box with one hand, "What do you say he is looking for me?"
"I don't know. Wren shook his head cautiously.
"Then let's go check it out. Pedi said indifferently.
"I think it's better to be cautious... The Luke mercenary group is still in the imperial capital, so it's better toβ" Wren proposed.
"Is it that serious?" said Peedy, looking at Wren with some amusement.
"My lord, I would like to remind you that there was a lot going on in the guard last night, Sir Gus El arrested a lot of people in the name of the commissioner, and even Chief Bernie was secretly imprisoned in the dungeon... At this moment, the assistant to the Commissioner is meeting with you in this way, and I am worried..."Wren was a little uneasy.
"Chief Bernie? Are you sure? This can't be gossip. Pei Di was stunned, put down the soup spoon in his hand, and watched carefully with the wooden box in both hands, his expression was a little solemn, "Who told you that." β
Chief Bernie's position in the Security Service can be said to be almost on the same level as that of the Chief of Security, and his arrest is an extremely important matter, and according to normal procedure, at least half of the agents at the level of Assistant Chief of Security must be present at the time of the arrest of Chief Bernie
And what Pei Di knows is that the current detectives at the assistant level of the director of the imperial capital plus himself are less than half of the total, that is to say, the arrest of Chief Bernie is not in line with the regulations at all!
Pedi was silent, the mist of the hot porridge enveloping his slightly serious face.
His silence was always short-lived, and soon, Pedi put down the wooden box in his hand and picked up the spoon again, "I'm suddenly more interested in Sean's invitation, although it can be dangerous. Pei Di smiled lightly, "Luke's mercenary group has been exposed, you don't want to go to them again, but I have a good impression of Luke as a person, you asked him to introduce a few new faces." β
......
An hour and a half later, around twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
Pedi appeared in the northern part of the outer city of the imperial capital, and he had already opened the wooden box that Sean had given him, the key handed to him by a child who was playing at the gate of the city after he walked out of the inner city, and also asked him for a reward of several copper coins.
The outer city is also known as the civilian area, where nearly ninety percent of the people in the imperial capital live, and compared to the luxury and cleanliness of the inner city buildings, the outer city is mostly practical and dense wooden buildings.
In the outer city, except for the main street that links to the central road of the inner city, the other streets are dirt roads, and because of the dense population, most of these roads are muddy except when the weather is particularly good.
Pedi deliberately wore a simple leather ring armor, with the most ordinary iron sword at his waist, which was commonly used by mercenaries, and the crystal necklace symbolizing his status had long been collected.
He walked down the dirt road, watching the crowds on the streets, the children playing on the side of the road, and the vendors haggling over a product.
It's a familiar scene, and there's a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu.
Slowly, a special feeling came to Peidi's heart, this feeling that he had never felt in the thirteen years he had traveled into this world, it was an indescribable feeling, which made Pedi feel particularly intimate.
When Pedi blends into the crowd, he recalls that this is the scene of the old world when he was a child and was led by his parents to the market.
The smell of earth and sweat in the air made Pei Di feel very real, although the surrounding residents were dressed plainly, the smiles and expressions on their faces were extremely sincere, and he couldn't help but sigh: Maybe the life here is the real life...
In a trance, Pedi followed the ever-changing codes on the side of the street to reach his destination.
