"Okay, this matter is in the past, let's end it here."
Lindy stopped the conversation between Julie and Felin.
Discussing this kind of thing within the security bureau is not conducive to the unity within the organization, and she does not want Felin to have a tense relationship with the three captains.
With Felin's potential, it is inevitable to reach the fifth ring and advance to captain level soon. If the relationship with the three captains is tense, it will not be conducive to future cooperation.
Moreover, although the three captains have some selfish motives, they are not incomprehensible.
There is no such thing as a person with absolutely no selfish motives, even she is no exception.
The reason why she paid special attention to Felin was partly because of Felin's talent, and partly because Felin was someone she recruited personally and had already been labeled by her as someone who belonged to her side.
"yes."
Felin and Julie both responded and stopped talking. This kind of matter is really not convenient to discuss within the Security Bureau.
If someone hears it, it will be very detrimental to the unity within the organization.
Of course, after learning about this incident, it would be impossible to be intimate with these three captains in the future.
"Julie, in my capacity, go and fetch the secret book that allows you to advance from the third ring to the fourth ring of the Mysterious Spear."
Lindy gave instructions to Julie, then looked at Felin and said.
"Felin, when you receive the new secret art book, the secret art books from the first to the third ring of the Mystic Spear must be handed in. You go get them and bring them to my office."
Julie and Felin both responded and left.
One goes to the place where the secret book is kept to get the secret book for the Mysterious Spear, and the other goes back to the 201 Lounge to get the secret book for the Mysterious Gun from level 1 to level 3.
After a while, the two met again in Lindy's office.
"Deputy Bureau, this is the secret book covering the first to third levels of the Mysterious Spear!"
Felin handed over the secret book of the first to third rings of the mysterious gun that he no longer needed.
"Um."
Lindy picked it up and looked through it, and then put it down after confirming that it was correct. She picked up the mysterious gun secret book that Julie had just brought, handed it to Felin and said.
"This is the secret book for advancing from the third level to the fourth level of the Mysterious Spear."
"There really is a whole book!"
Feilin stretched out his hand to take this secret book, which was obviously only the third and fourth rings of the Mysterious Spear, but was as thick as the first to third rings of the Mysterious Spear. His scalp was numb.
It is true as Julie said at the beginning, after the three links, each link is a whole book.
It would probably take him a month just to read this book from beginning to end and learn the practice methods.
Like the secret book of the Eye of Appraisal, there is only one secret book from the first to the twelfth ring, and the thickness is only a few dozen pages, which is really very rare.
"It seems that even geniuses are not good at something!"
Seeing Felin's scalp tingling when he saw the secret book, Julie next to him couldn't help but joke.
Seeing the distressed look on the face of the Security Bureau's most gifted genius in recent years, she felt inexplicably happy.
This is probably the true meaning of happiness based on the suffering of others.
"Miss Julie, with your photographic memory, you cannot understand the pain of a scumbag."
Felin said with a bitter smile.
"If you who graduated from James Mason College, the first college in Constantinople, are all scumbags, then I'm afraid you won't be a genius."
Julie said with a smile.
With her photographic memory, she naturally knows Felin's past experiences very well.
"At first, I gnawed hard at the books and finally got into the exam. I thought it would be fine once I got to work, but I didn't expect that I would have to gnaw at the books after I started working."
Recalling his original experience, Felin couldn't help but sigh.
"This is normal. Only learning can make people progress. This is true for ordinary professions, and the same is true for secretaries who are based on ordinary professions."
Hearing Felin's complaint, Lindy smiled kindly and then said.
"I have good news for you. According to the regulations of the Security Bureau, after reaching the third ring, your weekly salary will be increased to one hundred gold pounds."
"Well, please use all the additional fifty gold pounds to pay off the debt of three thousand gold pounds."
Feiling said after thinking about it for a moment.
Before that, in order to repay the three thousand gold pounds he owed for practicing the second secret art, he would spend half of his salary every week to repay it.
Calculated, it will take at least two years to pay it off.
If all the newly increased salary of fifty gold pounds is used to repay debts, this time can be shortened to about nine months.
"The debt of three thousand gold pounds can be repaid slowly. The Security Bureau will not rush you. Why don't you withdraw some more for daily expenses?"
Lindy asked.
In her opinion, twenty-five gold pounds a week was really not enough money, and sometimes buying small items would cost more than that.
"That's enough for me."
Felin shook his head.
From Lindy's point of view, a dress worth hundreds of gold coins, twenty-five gold pounds a week was not enough, but from his point of view, it was completely enough.
You know, when he first opened the laboratory, his weekly income was only about four pounds.
Even then, he was able to save some money and accumulated hundreds of gold pounds in savings in two years.
"We are mystics. It is easy for us to make money. We don't have to be too harsh on ourselves."
Seeing Felin's insistence, Lindy reminded him and said nothing more.
After leaving the deputy bureau's office, Felin returned to Lounge 201.
Without looking at the secret technique for advancing from the third to fourth ring of the Mysterious Spear, he directly locked the secret technique book in the safe.
He felt that instead of learning how to advance from the third ring to the fourth ring of the Mystic Spear, what he should do now was learn mysterious knowledge.
In his opinion, mysterious knowledge is very important, and if used well, it can even affect the outcome of a battle.
Picking up the book "Secret Technique", he continued to read further.
I discovered that the content behind "Secret Techniques" is an introduction to some common secret techniques.
It was also the knowledge he needed urgently, so he read it carefully.
"The hand of hypnosis, is this the secret technique that Ivy practices?"
When he saw the secret technique of hypnotic hand, Felin couldn't help but glance at Ivy in the room.
The hand of hypnosis is a secret technique that uses the hand as a secret organ. It can hypnotize the target with the help of the hand transformed into a secret organ. The prerequisite master-level profession is hypnotist.
This secret technique has the ability of touch hypnosis. It can hypnotize the target by touching it with the hand.
The second ring possesses the ability of sound hypnosis. It can induce sounds through the hand as the occult organ, thereby hypnotizing the target.
The third ring has the ability to hypnotize multiple targets and can hypnotize multiple targets at the same time.
Si Huan possesses the ability of gesture hypnosis. As long as he sees the hand as a secret organ, he will be hypnotized.
Compared with the previous hypnosis methods, this hypnosis method is undoubtedly more subtle.
Wuhuan has the ability to implant hypnosis, which can implant hypnosis into the target's brain like a time bomb. It will occur at a specific time or after being stimulated by a specific signal.
Compared with the previous hypnosis methods, this method is undoubtedly more bizarre and difficult to guard against.
Imagine that a friend who seemed normal one moment suddenly launches a surprise attack.
Such a sneak attack must be extremely difficult to guard against.
Moreover, even if the sneak attack fails, you don't have to worry about being in danger, because the hypnosis is timed and you are not around the target.
…
Judging from the description, the secret technique of hypnotic hand is very similar to Ivy's secret technique, and it is very likely that it is the secret technique that Ivy practices.
He had seen Ivy hypnotize multiple targets through touch hypnosis and sound hypnosis.
From this point of view, Ivy should be a three-ring mystic.
It is also possible that the occultist of a higher level has not shown the hypnotic ability above the third level due to unavailable reasons.
Continuing to look back, he knew all kinds of common secret techniques.
Although out of consideration for the confidentiality of secret techniques, the records of various secret techniques in the book are very brief.
It does not involve any practice methods at all, but it is enough for him to develop an understanding of these secret arts, so that he will not be unable to recognize them when he encounters the corresponding mystics.
"Space maze, a space-type secret technique, can form a maze environment to trap enemies, and the training conditions are never forgotten... Is this the secret technique that Julie has practiced?"
Felin looked at the introduction of the occult space maze.
Julie has the ability of photographic memory, so what Julie practices must be this secret space maze.
It's just that he is a little curious about the relationship between the ability of photographic memory and the space maze, and why the prerequisite of the space maze is photographic memory and not any other profession.
"I see……"
After reading the introduction about the secret space maze, Felin finally understood why the prerequisite of the space maze is photographic memory.
The secret art space labyrinth is a very unique secret art. This uniqueness does not lie in the fact that it is a space secret art, but in its secret art organ.
Generally, the secret arts organs of secret arts can be seen, but the secret arts organs of space labyrinth cannot be seen.
He exists in the illusory space of the soul, an illusory maze constructed by thinking.
If you want to build such a maze, you must know every brick and tile of the maze.
And if you want to expand the maze, you need to know every brick of the maze expansion and fictionalize it realistically.
Both the former and the latter require extremely terrifying memory abilities, and photographic memory is a must.
This is why this secret technique requires photographic memory as a prerequisite.
"Although this secret technique has little offensive power in the early stage, as long as it does not encounter extraordinary powers of restraint or beings that are too powerful, it can make itself invincible by virtue of its ability to trap enemies!"
Felin couldn't help but think about what happened that day when Lindy came to solicit for help.
In addition to the Security Bureau, although other mysterious organizations sent people to recruit him, they all arrived late, and they did not arrive until he had reached an agreement with the Security Bureau.
Thinking about it now, these people were probably trapped in Julie's secret space maze. They could not escape until Julie solved the space maze or the time limit passed.
…
If the East District is the area where the aristocrats and wealthy businessmen of Constant City live, then the West District is the area where people with low economic income live in Constant City.
Rat Street, even in Kingston West End, can be called a dirty and run-down street.
The ground is covered with black and cracked masonry, the walls of houses are covered with graffiti, and stinky garbage dumps can be seen everywhere. Sometimes you can even see rats walking through the streets in broad daylight.
Many of the people living here do not have stable jobs or stable financial income.
Bang, bang, bang!
A thin man wearing a shabby cotton coat knocked on the door of a house with frostbitten hands.
After a while, the door was opened, and a strong man stuck his head out and asked.
"What's up?"
"I heard... you can find jobs here."
"come in."
The strong man looked around, then looked at the thin man up and down, and then said.
The thin man followed the muscular man into a room with an old sofa. On the sofa in the room, there were two young men and a middle-aged man.
After the muscular man entered, he said to the middle-aged man.
"He's here to find a job."
"I'm recruiting miners now, and I need quite a few people, and the weekly salary is as high as ten shillings."
The middle-aged man was wearing black clothes. He glanced at the thin man and said.
"However, the minimum period must be one year. During this year, you must stay in the mine and cannot return to Constant City."
“Can’t return to Constant City within a year?”
The skinny man's face became hesitant.
The reason why he was eager to find a job was because his family had no money and his wife and children were going hungry.
If I couldn't return to Constant City within a year, my wife and children would have died of hunger long ago, even if I made money.
"Of course, I also know that you must be very short of money when you come to my place, so I allow you to withdraw one year's salary in advance, which is 25 gold pounds."
The middle-aged man said.
“Can I withdraw one year’s salary in advance?!”
The face of the thin man showed surprise. With the salary of 25 gold pounds withdrawn in advance, his wife and children would not go hungry, and even his life for the next year would not be a problem.
He said quickly.
"I do."
"very good."
The middle-aged man had a smile on his face and hired another one.
After a while, the thin man returned to his residence with a huge sum of 25 gold pounds.
He was not alone. One of the two young men he had seen before followed him, obviously afraid that he would take the money and then let go.
Back home, the thin man handed the money to his wife and explained that he would go out to work for a year.
"Why is it taking so long?"
The wife looked a little worried.
"The mine is relatively far from the city of Conston, and it's inconvenient to go back and forth, so I have to work for at least one year."
The thin man said.
"How about changing a job?"
The wife discussed it.
"If I miss this time, I may not be able to find such a good job."
The thin man glanced at his son, who was only four or five years old, shook his head and said.
Although the wife was very reluctant to give up, she also knew that this was the only way to improve the family's financial situation, so she could only agree.
Saying goodbye to his wife, the emaciated man returned to his previous place, and was immediately moved to another residence, where he lived in a room with other people who were about to be sent away.
At night, a monster with a human body and a wolf's head, and sharp claws on both hands gently opened the door and stood in front of these people's beds.
Its eyes glowed red as it looked at the sleeping person.
Following its gaze, the sleeping people, including the emaciated man, all lost their heartbeats and breathing.
