Ancient God Library

Chapter 153 Mrs. Field's commission
Hearing that Dorothy was still in the mood to jokingly call her full name, Romon knew that it shouldn't be a bad thing.

only.

The vice-principal of the college, what are you calling yourself for?
The dean of each branch of St. Amethyst College is a top figure, not to mention the vice-principal of the entire college.

There are three principals in total.

Except for the honorary principal, Empress Cynthia, the principal is absent all year round, and the vice principal is in charge.

But the vice-principal basically doesn't care.

The major branches are all on their own, and have a lot of autonomy.

The only possibility is Mir's death.

The death of students in the academy is actually not uncommon. The awakened are an unstable group, and they are time bombs that may explode at any time.

With doubts.

Romon followed Dorothy to the principal's office.

The display inside is very simple, a solid wood desk, an office chair, and a three-seater sofa opposite the desk.

Behind the chair is a bookcase.

An old lady with eyes and looking kind and kind was sitting on an office chair, bending over and correcting the copywriting.

Two people arrive.

She raised her head and smiled, "Come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Dorothy naturally sat on the sofa, raised her legs, and her white legs were squeezed together, showing amazing elasticity.

The old lady looked at Romon:
"Good afternoon, Monsieur Romon.

My name is Lenny Field, you can call me Mrs Field.

For the first time, forgive me for asking you to come here so abruptly, it is really rude, but there is one thing, I need your help. "

Her tone of voice is not hurried or slow, and her conversation is elegant.

Romon held back his doubts, "Mrs. Field, is there anything I can help you with?"

Field.

The surname Romon is no stranger.

One of Wudun's noble titles, his ancestors once received the title of Earl.

Now it is also a viscount family with a deep heritage, quite powerful in the Plantagenet Empire.

As for why Romon knew so clearly, it was because the "Viscount Thorn" who made headlines last time in the China Sea Entertainment News was named Field.

of course.

There are many people with the same surname.

But someone who can sit here and become the vice-principal of St. Amethyst College is almost indistinguishable from the Field family.

This elegant and easy-going old lady took off her glasses, wiped them lightly with a silk cloth, and then solemnly said: "Mr. Romon, I just learned about what you have experienced, and I deeply sympathize with it.

Anyone who encounters the power of the evil god will find it difficult to calm down.

I should have given you a good rest for a few months, but please forgive me, a cruel person, because of your position in the academy, I had to find you. "

Romon wasn't impatient, "I would like to hear more about it."

This matter should be related to his identity as a librarian.

Mrs. Field thought for a moment, "Recently in Jianhai, the Investigation Bureau unearthed a batch of ancient relics, including many letters and books.

Once this happens, the academy will send people to assist the Bureau of Investigation, collect and organize these letters, screen out dangerous and valuable contents, and store them in the Amethyst Library.

The Amethyst Library is one of the most important places in the academy.

We need to keep growing it.

Mr Roman.

I have heard your name from many people.

For example, Mr. Keqi from Wudun, and Priest Eunice from Life Church, they all respect you very much.

Even Her Majesty the Empress remembered your name.

You curbed the plague in Wudun, and you were an outstanding student of Ms. Annabelle. This time, you discovered and stopped the spread of the evil god's altar in time.

You are someone we can trust.

This excavation of ancient books and collection of slips is a relatively secretive operation.

The academy needs to send a competent and trustworthy person to complete this matter.

You have been working in the Amethyst Library for so long, and you have not shown any discomfort. In addition, you are now a third-level awakened person, and you are the perfect candidate in my heart.

Then, Mr. Romon, are you willing to serve Her Majesty the Queen?

Her Majesty will not forget your due honor!

If you have any needs, you can ask me, I will try my best to meet you. "

Romon stood where he was, thinking for a moment.

After talking about such a large pile, he was actually asked to sort out extraordinary books. To be honest, this is indeed a very simple and beautiful job for him.

He has the BUFF bonus of the weird hall master.

It is extremely resistant to all kinds of strange knowledge, and can also gain a lot of knowledge during the process of sorting out.

But it's obviously not that simple.

Romon paid more attention to what Mrs. Field said later.

It seems that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and it is basically impossible to hide the matter of Wudun from these wise men.

As for the shit like honor, Romon scoffed.

When I was a social animal, what the boss liked most was to paint cakes for the company's new employees, and let them work hard for the boss.

What kind of bullshit honor is the same as drawing cakes.

Only what you really get is your own.

This point, Romon has long been clear.

"Mrs. Field, with all due respect, what are the dangers of this work, what troubles might it entail, and what can I gain from it?"

Romon didn't hide anything, and asked directly.

Time is always precious.

He didn't want to waste time on these things, and now the most important thing was to find the materials to configure the potion.

Mrs. Field replied with a smile: "Of course, Her Majesty will not owe any young man who is willing to contribute to the empire, Mr. Romon, you should have only entered the third rank, right?

We can give you the spiritual material you need.

and.

The dean of the Potions Academy will always be your teacher, and the vice-principal will always be your senior sister, Miss Dorothy.

This is an academy funded and administered by Her Majesty the Queen.

We have the power to decide.

As for the danger of this matter.

I can only tell you, Mr. Romon, most third-order awakened people are unwilling to intervene.

Because they hate being exposed to those strange knowledge, even if that knowledge does not cause them to lose control of their mind.

Even me.

So this is a very dangerous job, you can completely refuse, I will not have any dissatisfaction, on the contrary I will be moved by your honesty.

Her Majesty Queen Cynthia said, if you can't do it yourself, how can you force others. "

indeed.

It's dangerous for others.

Even a job like guarding a library is dangerous to them.

In many cases, it is not fierce battles and terrifying spiritual powers that kill people, but silent whispers and pervasive transformations.

but.

Romon's current resistance is so high that he himself is surprised.

For example, in the previous battle in front of the Green Mother Altar, and the screaming sound at the moment when the Corrupted Crystal Tree blew itself up, the remaining members of the Furnace Church did not resist, and became delirious.

That is not a spiritual attack, but a real corruption attack against the spirit body.

But Romon was able to react in time and help them avoid the deadly debris that followed.

In general.

There was some danger in this thing, but not a great deal.

And I'm not alone, not the main force, just assisting from the side, I just need to identify some books that can be put in the library.

In the spirit of seeking stability.

Romon asked the vice principal about the specific situation of this matter and what he needed to do.

Finally, he said: "Mrs. Field, I need to try. I can't promise that I can finish it, but I will try my best."

Mrs. Field smiled: "I believe in you, Mr. Roman."

……

After walking out of the office.

Dorothy sighed: "Actually, you don't need to talk to that old woman at all, you can just study and practice hard, and don't bother with these trivial matters.

After all, there are still risks.

Every time something like this happens, the academy will send someone over there to make a symbolic impression. In the end, you only need to bring a few books back with you. "

Luo Meng knew that it was the senior sister who was teaching him how to fish and paddle.

But he has been proficient in this field for a long time. After all, he is an old social animal, and the time for work is the time for rest.

As for after get off work, that sure is the time of life.

"Don't worry, it's fine, I happen to be short of Tier [-] materials too."

Roman is full of confidence.

a few days later.

Romon was ready and left St. Amethyst Academy.

There are several things on Romon's agenda right now.

Bear the brunt.

It is to complete the activation of the relic [Mask of the Hypocrites] in his hand.

This one relic works well.

And the last wish of the man who died in the Ligeia Club, Romon took his things and wanted to fulfill this last wish as soon as possible. He is not a person who likes to delay things.

Get out of the inner city.

He was wearing a black light-striped suit with large buttons, a delicate suitcase in his left hand, and his silver cane in his right hand. He had a black gentleman's hat on his head.

Xiao Hei stood on his shoulder.

This extremely psychic cat has now been trained to be more obedient.

This standard gentleman's attire is a new outfit that Romon bought for himself, after all his clothes are often destroyed.

This time, I went to a good tailor shop to pick them out, and it cost him a total of twenty gold pounds!
To know such a large sum of money.

Enough for a family of three to live for several months.

But this is a necessary expense, and he himself feels that it doesn't matter what he wears, as long as it's not women's clothing.

But thinking of the other people he was going to meet this time to help the college collect books, he felt that he should dress decently.

Just come to a branch of Jianhai Bank.

Romon withdrew a huge amount of gold pounds from that unregistered account.

Two thousand pounds!

It is already comparable to the amount of wealth on his body.

This was obtained by Romon's robbery and various windfalls.

God knows how long it took the awakened person who died in the club to accumulate this wealth.

Because Romon was very well dressed.

The stern bank teller was not surprised that he withdrew such a large amount of gold at once, but thought that this handsome young gentleman was going to make an investment or buy a valuable security.

Romon walked out of the bank.

With more than 4000 gold pounds in paper notes on his body, he felt a little uneasy.

"Maybe I should invest in some railway stocks, or Nautical Securities is also good. After all, money makes money the fastest, and the daily expenses of awakened people are a bit big."

Romon walked quickly on the street, and soon came to the outer city of Jianhai.

If the inner city of Jianhai shows the power, brilliance, and wealth of the entire Plantagenet Empire, then the outer city reflects the real life conditions of ordinary people in the Plantagenet Empire.

Jianhai has a population of tens of millions.

Only one or two-tenths live in the inner city.

Most people live in large and complex outer cities.

The gap between rich and poor here is also quite large.

There are slums, there are rich people's districts, and there are common people's alleys with chaotic environment and poor public security.

Romon came.

It was in a poor area of ​​the outer city.

The houses here are basically sheds built indiscriminately, and some are even made of cloth and wooden boards, plus some rocks. The kitchen is an open-air stove built outside the room, and the gutters on both sides are full of all kinds of dirty things. thing.

Romon frowned slightly.

Although I don't know whether the awakened person who died in the club was the second or third rank, but no matter how poor he is, he can't live in this kind of place. Do you know people here?
As long as the other party thinks.

For a small amount of money, you can move out and rent a clean and tidy town room.

Romon walked forward with doubts.

From time to time, some gazes came from all around, like a wolf seeing a lamb.

They looked at the well-dressed gentleman and thought about how long they would be able to eat after they robbed him.

Those vicious gang members, gamblers who lost everything, and desperate desperadoes all like to do this kind of thing.

only.

Living things have an innate sense of danger.

Just like when a person sees a tiger, he will subconsciously be afraid, and when he sees a moving car, he will subconsciously avoid it.

These people saw Romon as well.

Although this well-groomed gentleman looked fragile.

Just like those nobles who like fencing, they always like to wear a fancy embroidered sword on their waists, but they have never seen blood at all.

but.

These people did not dare to rush forward.

Because the rooms in the slums are chaotic, it is difficult to find the corresponding house according to the house number, and only the approximate location can be determined.

After waiting for the general area pointed by the house number, Romon went to the room on the street and began to ask for directions.

"This generous gentleman, are you looking for the Laurie family?

She lives just behind the shed on the third row past on the left.

Like me, she pasted cardboard boxes and worked as a starch washer at home. The two of us often went out to pick up business together, so I was familiar with her residence. "

The wrinkled, weather-beaten woman answered very sincerely.

When she saw Romon, who was obviously out of place in the slums, come here, she was still a little apprehensive, but after accepting the ten shillings from the other party, she was only grateful.

She has to paste thousands of cartons to earn so much.

Go out to work every day.

It will take at least two weeks to earn.

The other party just asked for directions.

"Thank you very much." After Romon knew the exact route, he quickly walked towards Laurie's place, and the laundry lady hurriedly rubbed her wrinkled hands, and took out the ten shilling note that the other party just took out. Take it out, look at it repeatedly, there is a sparkle in the eyes.
