The glass in Alex's hand instantly fell to the ground and shattered, and his expression was beyond shocked.
He and Boggs had only met for less than five minutes, and the secret guard in front of him locked their identities in less than five minutes?
What kind of monster is this?!
He originally just wanted to buy Boggs some more time to escape, but he never expected that the other party's intelligence network was so wide that even low-level workers like them were rarely registered.
Even so, it is basically impossible for the other party to remember everyone's name and appearance so clearly... Is this also a gift from the gods?
The person in front of me is nothing more than a walking database!
"I..." Alex wanted to say something, but his calves kept trembling.
"Why are you nervous? I didn't tell you what to do, right?" The man in black shrugged, "Take out the parchment rolls on your body and be quick."
I even know this clearly...
Is this the secret guard's intelligence network...
Alex remained frozen in place, but obediently reached for the parchment in his pocket.
I hope Boggs is gone.
"Hmm... Not bad." The man in black nodded, "This time he is quite honest. Don't worry, I have no intention of doing anything to Mr. Boggs - of course, this is based on your willingness to cooperate with me.
...So, from now on, you should be able to cooperate with my work, right?"
"Yes, yes." Alex didn't dare to move. He couldn't help but glance at the sword hanging on the waist of the man in black, for fear that the other party would suddenly stab him through with a sword.
"Before that, I suggest that we get to know each other first..." The man in black snapped his fingers, "I am a stranger, and my name may seem a bit strange. My name is... Jian Yi."
"Simple..." Alex said to himself, "Sir, are you from the East?"
"Don't call me Sir, it sounds uncomfortable to me anyway," Jian Yi moved his limbs, "According to your habits... you can just call me Jane - although in my hometown, Jane is my surname.
right."
After saying that, he slowly unfolded the parchment scroll in his hand, and black ink stains were quickly revealed in front of their eyes.
Isn't this to avoid suspicion... Alex frowned, carefully glanced at Jian Jian who didn't care at all, and then focused his eyes on the words on the parchment.
[Name: Parchment Roll]
[Type: plot related]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Explanation: Although Fanas has entered the industrial age, in fact, the scale of paper production is not large, and its stability and storability are also very unreliable. Bamboo plants have become extinct in the old times. Therefore,
Some important documents in the Farnas region are still recorded in the form of parchments.]
[Can the script be brought out: No]
[Note: People in the East End always discuss a profound question after dinner: The Holy See uses parchment rolls to issue official documents every day, but why can’t we eat mutton? 】
【content:】
[Alex, if you make up your mind and open this letter, it means you have figured it out.]
[There are too many sins and cover-ups in Faunas, too many for me to look directly at.]
[They deceive the gods and citizens, and are the sinners of Fanas!]
[Now, we want to resist, we want to take over the Holy See’s right to communicate with gods!]
【No. 2301, West District, we are waiting for you to join us.】
"This..." Alex's legs felt a little weak. He knew very well that the Vatican always dealt with such remarks by burning them at the stake.
If it's just soldiers on patrol, then that's it.
But if it was a secret guard loyal to the Pope... Alex couldn't help but shudder.
"I told you not to be so nervous..." Jian Jian joked, "Anyway, deceiving the secret guards is enough to get you on the stake. Adding another crime... is not much."
"God, please forgive my ignorance!" Alex trembled a little. He originally thought that death was not much more terrible than the boring day after day, but now when the possibility of death is approaching his eyes, he becomes more and more worried.
I feel this invisible oppression.
Jian Yi waved his hand and smiled sadly: "Of course, these things can be written off. However, everyone must pay the corresponding price for their actions. So..."
"I understand, I understand!" Alex nodded quickly, "Mr. Jane, you said, you said..."
[The side mission has been triggered.]
really.
Jian Yan pretended to take a sip of water and stared at Alex who was embarrassed in front of him.
Obviously, this young man's words triggered the side mission, and may even be the key to the entire script.
Originally, he just used the ability of Spell Master A1 to spy on a random worker and get basic information about the East District, but he didn't expect that this trick would lead to a big one.
[Side mission has been released: overthrow the rule of the Holy See.]
Sure enough, the result was expected.
Where there is oppression, there will be resistance, which will breed conflict.
This conflict is between Haiwuya and Jianyi, as well as between the Holy See and the workers.
Since I mentioned before that the rewards for side missions are very good, then the difficulty of completing them is certainly not that great.
In the current world view, apart from establishing a completely equal society, Jian Jian cannot think of anything more difficult than this task.
Superstition, ignorance, complete inequality in combat effectiveness...
If you want to overthrow the Holy See's rule in such an environment...Hai Wuya can give it a try with pure force.
"Well, it's not that surprising..." Jian Yi touched his chin, "This condition is not too difficult."
He handed the parchment back to Alex, and then straightened his coat that was messed up by the wind: "My conditions are very simple. Now, leave with me to the West District immediately."
"Isn't it, now?" Alex questioned his ears a little, "You...do you have a private carriage?"
Hearing this, Jian Yi shook his head and said, "No. But if I remember correctly, steam trains run 24 hours a day, right?"
Based on the current level of technology, a steam train would take 5 hours to reach the span from the West District to the East District, while a horse-drawn carriage might take even more time.
"Um..." Alex was speechless for a moment, "Mr. Jane, the area around No. 2000 in the West District is at least seven or eight kilometers away from the train station! If I go back and forth, my job..."
"Oh, by the way, you don't allow leave here, right?" Jian Yi nodded thoughtfully, and an idea came to his mind, "By the way, I haven't visited your city of Manchester yet.
Where is the steel factory...can you show me the way?"
