After closing the door, Miss Bayas motioned to Shade to find a place to sit. But Shade just looked at the holy emblem of the Sun God [Old Man with the Lamp] hanging on the wall, then took out his notebook and opened the page with writing on it.
Page.
The above is about the exchange of [Inferi Fingerbone] for [Witch's Copy Paper].
"Why are you so cautious? It's safe here, and no one will eavesdrop."
Miss Bayas said easily.
Shade immediately opened the next page, which still contained the words he had prepared in advance:
"Worry about the ability to eavesdrop on the past."
Just like the thaumaturgy he mastered.
"Oh, detective, this is our stronghold, there is no need to worry so much."
Miss Bayas waved her hands, and then saw the detective turn another page, which read:
"You still have to be more cautious."
"Oh? Did you foresee what I wanted to say in advance?"
This time, Shade didn't turn the page, but nodded directly. So Miss Bayas took the detective's notebook, closed it with a snap, and gave it to Shade:
"Speak nicely, it's really safe here."
"Ahem, okay then."
Xia De felt that the other party might be angry if he didn't speak, so he looked around and then asked:
"Do you agree to this barter?"
"Of course I agree with this kind of good thing. Detective, you are indeed very reliable... Speaking of which, can you introduce me to this kind of transaction location? I will not report it to the church. You can rest assured about this."
.”
Miss Bayas asked, but although she was trustworthy, Shade could not introduce Old John's pawn shop. He thought for a while and said:
"Unfortunately, I asked just now, but the shop owner said that he does not do business with the Zhengshen Church. However, if you need it, I can tell you a place where sensitive knowledge can be traded. That is the library."
The Black Raven Library has no specific connection with Shade's group, so Shade doesn't have to worry too much about introducing Miss Bayas there.
"Then thank you very much. I have been transferred here for three or four months and I still haven't found a way."
Seeing Shade writing the address on the paper, Miss Bayas looked at the time on the clock in the corner of the lounge and couldn't help but sigh:
"Big cities are good, you can find all kinds of relics. Detective, you helped me again, but I have no chance to repay you. If you have trouble recently, you can come to me anytime, but don't come to me the day after tomorrow, that is, Wednesday.
On Wednesday, our team is going to Tobesk Station to greet a distinguished guest from afar."
"That Thirteenth Ring Warlock, Mr. 'Sunshine Great Sword' Hog Rendell?"
Shade asked casually while writing. He heard the news on Saturday afternoon.
"Do you even know this? Is our church so seriously infiltrated?"
But Miss Bayas did not ask Shade about the source of the news that the thirteen-ring warlock came to the parish.
"Let's get back to the topic, detective. Since it's [Witch's Carbon Paper], are you interested in copying my 'Sunshine Gun'? This is an ability that can only be used by high-level ring magicians. Even if you don't directly learn the [Sunshine Gun],
You will definitely be able to obtain other powerful thaumaturgy."
The girl with long brown hair was slightly proud of herself.
"I haven't decided yet how to use this relic."
Shade declined politely. It was not that the "Sunshine Gun" was not strong, but that he had a good relationship with Professor Garcia. This Saturday, the professor would bring news about the "Code of Sublimation" and ask the professor to demonstrate some difficult tasks.
The professor will definitely not refuse space magic.
In fact, if it were not for the fact that the [Relic] could not be brought into the White Mist Gate opened by the Time Key, he even wanted to try to see if he could replicate the power of God.
The voice in my head is laughing.
"I know it's impossible, but people always have to have dreams."
Return to Old John's Pawn Shop from Blackstone Security Company, and after trading two pages of [Witch's Carbon Paper] with the Keeper-level (level 3) relic [Inferi Fingerbone], return to Blackstone Security Company again and hand over one of the pages.
To Miss Bayas.
After going back and forth, it was noon. So I returned to Saint Teresa Square and prepared to go out for dinner with the cat at home.
When Shade opened the door to go home, the cat that was supposed to run over happily suddenly stopped on the stairs halfway. The cat stared at Shade with amber eyes and looked at Shade suspiciously.
Shade thought something was wrong with him, but later he realized that he had hugged another cat not long ago.
"Hmm...can you smell it too?"
So she took off her coat and put it on the shoe cabinet. Mia hesitated for a moment, then ran over happily.
Maybe the cat is smarter than Shade thought.
Now that I have acquired a new [Time Key] from Old John, I naturally want to give it a try. Although the key to the fifth era - 1068 can only be used for the last time in the early morning of this Thursday, this one is new.
Shade was not sure whether the rule of opening the key once a week was shared between different keys.
Time exploration cannot carry any extraordinary items, so Shade does not need to make any additional preparations to cope with the adventure. Come to the door, insert the key into the door, recite "May the World Tree protect me in infinite time", and then
Rotate——
The key cannot be turned.
"Um?"
He pulled out the wooden key in his hand and tried again, but it still couldn't be turned. At this time, the woman's voice belatedly narrated the information she obtained after touching the key:
[Outlander, you are currently on the mission of the ‘Father of the Infinite Tree’, and you cannot open another door until it ends. 】
"So after completing the task early Thursday morning, can I open a key immediately? Or should I wait another week?"
he asked again.
【unconfirmed.】
"Oh well."
Looking at the key in his hand with regret, he locked it in the study. He patted the cat's head and prepared to go out for dinner.
(Little Mia is running...)
In the eyes of ordinary people, MI6 is the most mysterious intelligence department in Delrayon. According to the imagination of outsiders, the strongholds of this kind of intelligence department are usually disguised as unexpected departments.
He guessed correctly.
When he went out in the afternoon, the sky was a little gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain, so Shade took an umbrella instead of a cane when he went out.
He found the "Municipal Waste Management Center" located in the West District of Tobesk according to the address given by Mr. Dark Anlos, the current director of MI6 that night.
The office of the management center is an inconspicuous small gray building, with a snuff bottle shop and a shoemaker's shop specializing in rain boots on both sides.
When Xia De was looking at the small building downstairs with an umbrella, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that no matter what world the agents were from, they all liked this kind of strange government department as a cover.
He knocked on the door and walked in. On both sides of the door were two bench seats, which seemed to be borrowed from the church's preaching hall. Inward, in the other three directions of the foyer were wooden counters at the reception desk.
There are four black iron-colored metal doors of the same style leading to different rooms and floors of the building.
People are holding papers or holding notepads between each door, and the work here seems very heavy.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Shade walked to the counter nearest to him and tapped it with his fingers. The wood made a nice sound.
The yellow-haired female receptionist who seemed to be writing a report raised her head and glanced at Shade:
"Do you have an appointment?"
His voice was monotonous and boring, and he probably had lost his passion for work long ago.
"Look for Mr. Johnson."
Shade replied.
"Door No. 2, go straight in and enter the door of the 'Equipment Maintenance Department'."
After saying that, he continued to write his report. Shade nodded and saw that the people here were busy with their own affairs and no one cared about the visit of strangers, so he walked towards door number two.
Behind the door is a long and narrow corridor, and the smell of baking bread fills the air.
Shade kept walking inward with his umbrella under his arm, avoiding the people passing by in a hurry. As he walked, he looked at the rooms on both sides of the corridor. But no door was open. People would close the door in time whether they entered or exited.
The "Equipment Maintenance Department" was almost at the end of this corridor. After Shade knocked on the door politely, he got permission and walked in.
There were rows of filing cabinets in the room. The middle-aged man sitting behind the table facing the door was originally reading a newspaper. After Shade opened the door, he tilted his head and glanced at the person who came in. His brown eyes looked up and down at Shade.
Outfit:
"Mr. Shade Suellen Hamilton?"
"Yes."
"Mr. Anlos told me that you were here to get your documents, right? Please wait a moment."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the depths of the filing cabinet. He didn't even give Shade a chance to lower his head and carefully look at the newspaper on the table, before returning with a small cardboard box.
Place the carton on the table:
"I am Giles Johnson, and I will take care of all your affairs from now on. Certificate."
Mr. Johnson speaks very quickly, so he is probably a very efficient person.
While talking, he handed Shade a military green, palm-sized cardboard. After opening it, on the left side was the logo and name of MI6, with the ID number and the surname "Hamilton" written below. On the right side was the MI6 logo and name.
It's rules and regulations, probably the police want to help after seeing the ID.
"It's quite formal."
Shade thought in his mind.
"If you lose your ID, you need to write a report to replace it. Don't show it to others if you have nothing to do. I don't know the reason why you were recruited, but you should know these basic things."
Shade didn't know the rules because he didn't have to work at all. It seemed that the gentleman in front of him thought he was an agent who had been secretly recruited to do covert work.
Mr. Johnson said, and took out another oil paper bag from the box:
"Sidegun, Ruger revolver, six rounds in the cylinder. This kind of gun is not easy to use, but Mr. Anlos promised to give you this kind of gun."
He said slightly confused and handed the gun wrapped in oil paper to Shade. Shade opened it for inspection and found that the style of this pistol was very similar to his own [Gun of Kindness]. He probably guessed that it was Jialin.
Miss Na told him to give him a revolver so that he could hide his other gun.
"I thought it was a Glass pocket single shot pistol."
Shade asked while inspecting the newly acquired weapons. The Ruger revolver in his hand was a new gun. The black metal material felt cold to the touch. It must have been maintained recently and the smell of oil was very strong. Check the bullet chamber and there was no bullet in it.
Then he depressed the hammer, pulled the trigger against the wall, and heard a satisfying click.
Although he already had a gun, that gun couldn't be fired at all. Now that he had obtained a real firearm, Shade's feeling was similar to that of acquiring a new thaumaturgy.
"The Glass pocket single-shot pistol is a sidearm for regular operations. If a secret agent also carries that kind of gun, wouldn't his identity be exposed immediately?"
Mr. Johnson glanced at Shade, and Shade nodded to express his understanding.
