Finally, Ronald felt that the most nervous moment of the day had come.
Although he now has a large amount of money in his hands, he still feels a little guilty when it comes to the most important knowledge on the mysterious side.
After all, it is a requirement of this type.
After today, you won’t be able to pay next month’s rent, right?
Just when Ronald was controlling his expression to prevent his nervousness from showing, the old man also spoke.
With a friendly smile on his face, he looked at Ronald in front of him and said proactively:
"Mr. Ronald, you must know that our [Scroll Research Society] is an organization loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, so I won't tell you anything."
"It's actually very simple for you to gain knowledge."
"Just join us."
"[Scroll Research Society] can help you gain knowledge, and it can also help you gain benefits."
However, when he said this, the old man suddenly changed his tone:
"Of course, if you are unwilling to join us, then this cooperation will be out of the question."
"You can leave now."
The old man looked indifferent, and when he stated this matter, his attitude was so firm that he could hardly refuse.
Listening to the old man's explanation, Ronald showed an expression of understanding, and then nodded calmly.
This is his purpose today, so there is no reason to refuse.
Although he knew that this might cause some trouble, Ronald had to admit that the historical records collected by official forces definitely had this value.
Thinking of this, Ronald took a careful look at the old man in front of him.
This is an old man who is completely unaware of the aura of magic.
But instinctively, Ronald felt an inexplicable sense of mystery from him. Not surprisingly, he was also a strong man.
This is the [Scroll Research Society] serving the Queen...
At the same time, seeing Ronald's reaction, the old man was naturally very happy.
This is an original code holder!
For their organization, it is definitely very good news for a person who holds the original code to join. A person with knowledge and experience can make their research further as long as they communicate well.
Happily, the old man stood up from his chair:
"very good."
"[Scroll Research Society] welcomes you to join."
"Mr. Ronald, you can rest assured."
"We will definitely try to accommodate any of your requests."
Seeing Ronald listening to his explanation without comment, the old man immediately took out a card and handed it over:
"This is our certificate. Inject your own magic power to complete the verification."
"As long as you hold this in the future, you can prove that you are a member of the [Scroll Research Society]. I believe you will definitely use it."
Ronald nodded in agreement and took the card at the same time.
A black card the size of a bank card, with only some decorative stripes on it and no information visible.
According to the old man, Ronald tried to inject the body-strengthening magic power of "The Divine Comedy" into it, and a figure in red clothes and holding a book immediately appeared on the black card.
"Okay, the verification was very successful."
Seeing this scene, the old man immediately nodded happily:
"But in this case, we should change our conversation now."
As he spoke, the old man clapped his hands lightly, and the bookshelf in the room immediately opened a passage leading to the underground.
"Mr. Ronald, come with me."
"By the way, let me introduce myself. I am Oppenheim Shelley. You can just call me Old Shelley."
As he spoke, Oppenheim had already walked into the passage first.
Ronald followed closely behind and also entered this passage.
The passage was very quiet, with long luminous objects of unknown material attached to both sides to provide illumination, and the entire passage also extended downwards very obviously.
The mysterious person.
I really like to dig underground...
With this thought in his mind, Ronald followed the old man and walked deeper into the passage.
The length of the channel is actually not too far.
After a while, Ronald saw a bright light ahead.
Immediately afterwards, a downward stone staircase appeared in front of him. Although it was not very spacious, it was very smooth and stable.
"This is our place. I am a book researcher, and you are also a researcher with your certificate. You should know that the books in our laboratory are confidential, so please do not leak them."
Ronald nodded in understanding:
"I see."
Walking down the stone steps and looking around, this space hidden under the library is quite spacious, and there are columns around it to maintain the stability of the space.
Surrounding the stone spiral staircase that descended, six deep passages were excavated in different directions, and a large number of bookcases were installed in the space itself. A large number of books and materials were stored on almost both sides of the entrance to each passage.
At the same time, Oppenheim's explanation continued:
"This is our research institute. We are responsible for keeping all the books and materials in it. The six passages correspond to the information collected from the six continents on this planet."
"You can browse here, just don't damage the books and materials inside."
After saying these words, the old man took the lead towards one of the tunnels:
"Let's go and sign a contract."
"This will ensure that we can happily work together in the future."
So the two of them continued deeper, followed a tunnel extending from the underground space, and walked into one of the offices.
After leading Ronald into the room, the old man skillfully pulled out a contract from the office.
Although the white paper is not large in area, it is full of lingering magic.
Obvious.
This is a magical contract.
The old man first took the initiative to write his name on the contract, and then handed it to Ronald.
"Come and see."
"..."
Taking the contract, Ronald looked at it carefully.
What is written in the contract is an agreement about knowledge and wealth, and the content of the above terms is simple, direct and detailed, and there is no hidden contract trap or anything like that.
After reading it, Ronald placed the contract on the table.
Watching Ronald's movements, the old man asked:
"After reading it, how do you feel?"
Ronald nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face.
He did not speak, but simply stretched out his hand and scratched the contract according to the method he had learned in the investigation bureau. The magic power left a mark on the paper, and the contract was concluded.
Oppenheim stood up again and took out another...
No, it should be said to be a thick stack of contracts.
Putting it in front of Ronald with a bang, he said with a very happy look:
"Come on, Mr. Ronald."
"Sign this too."
"This is the job contract of the [Visius University] librarian. In order to conceal his identity and facilitate his activities, this is what he must do."
