Whispering Poems

Chapter 169 Information from MI[-]

After the pistol, Mr. Johnson continued to hand Shade something new:

"With a gun license and bullets, your bullet quota is 50 rounds per month, and you can get it next month when you run out, but you must state the purpose of the old bullets when you get new bullets. Some time ago, those damn guys were selling guns on the black market. It caused big trouble. Get your gun license, and if you lose it, go directly to Riddwich to make up for it. I have already filed for you."

Xia De took the box of heavy bullets with a strong smell of oil with one hand, and the strength of his wrist made Mr. Johnson raise his eyebrows.

He continues to take something from the carton, this time a page:

"Your application consent form can be signed by any name. It is mainly for the convenience of checking accounts. The establishment of MI[-] belongs to the Royal Army, so you have to sign this thing."

So Shad signed Sherlock Holmes, and it seemed like every organization he approached was bothered by the billing.

Mr. Johnson reached for something for the last time, this time it was still a document:
"A statement that agrees to pay taxes on behalf of you. In this way, before the Sixth Office pays you your salary, you can directly pay your taxes for you."

Xia De looked at this burly middle-aged man hesitantly, and was surprised for the first time after coming here:
"Excuse me. MI[-] still has to pay taxes?"

Mr. Johnson sneered:
"It goes without saying that you don't need to pay taxes for reimbursement, but how can you not pay taxes for your basic salary? Only death and taxes are inevitable. Sign the same name as the one above, don't misspell it. Last time a guy wrote It was a very complicated name, and when I came to make up my signature for the second time, I actually forgot what I wrote.”

He handed the pen to Xia De, and Xia De read it carefully before he dared to sign. The dark blue ink is very conspicuous on the printed matter.Foreigners are now aware of the characteristics of this steam age. "Only death and tax payment are inevitable" is not a unique saying of people in their hometown.

"The salary is settled every month. Come here to collect it at the beginning of each month, and come to me directly. The monthly reimbursement of 20 pounds requires a certificate. Any certificate is fine, but the type cannot be single. Oh, I have to warn you, although the agent For work, it is possible to spend in various places, but even if you can get the receipts from the Rhodes Casino and the brothel, we will not accept it, nor will it accept any amount."

Mr. Johnson said repeatedly that from the expression on his face, he probably experienced this kind of thing.

"Do you accept the church's donation certificate?"

Xia De raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, this one is better, and it's convenient to make accounts, but it needs a real certificate."

"no problem."

He nodded, it is very simple to help get some donation certificates as the priest of Augustus.If it doesn't work, it's not difficult to go to Miss Anat and get some receipts from the Prophet Association.

He gradually learned this trick.

"Although I don't know the reason why you were recruited, I remember to write a report every month when I receive my salary. One more thing, you probably have tasks assigned by the director alone, but you should also pay attention to other things in the city .”

Mr. Johnson coughed, and when he talked about business, his tone was very serious, and his expression and eyes became serious:

"Not long ago, a military-used Drake II integrated steam bomb exploded beside the Terraria River. If there is news about this, please report it. Not only the city hall and the military, but even the Orthodox Church are investigating this thing."

Shad of course knew about it, and even knew the lady who fought the murloc and detonated the bomb that shattered it:

"Is it something from the black market?"

He tried to ask.

"Of course it's impossible. This kind of steam bomb has not yet been mass-produced, and it is only used in a small range among the royal guard."

Mr. Johnson scratched his hair:
"The higher authorities suspect that there is an inner ghost among the royal guards. Who knows?"

Xia De didn't answer. At that time, Miss Louisa said that she bought it from the black market.Now that I think about it, there is a high probability that she got it for self-defense from Princess Rezia Cavendish.

"The Orthodox Church also has a reward for this matter, and it is very high. The reward was added suddenly at midnight on Saturday, and I don't know what happened."

Mr. Johnson muttered, Xia De thought about the time, it was probably after he opened the mystic to fight against the evil god's sight.In other words, the Orthodox Church really connected the murlocs on Friday with the Mysuo on Saturday.

But fortunately, the sight of the evil god affects the divination, and he has the habit of carrying the [Twenty-sided Dice of Fate] when he goes out. As long as he does not actively expose him, no one can find him.

"I see, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

Shad wanted to skip the subject.

"Things worth noting. And this one, the reward is very high."

Mr. Johnson pointed to the newspaper that was pressed under the empty box. It was the Tobesk Morning News. Most of the pages reported the follow-up of the missing children in this city:
"This matter has attracted the attention of the higher authorities. The city hall and MI[-] have offered a high amount of reward."

"Because of the number of missing children?"

Mr. Johnson glanced at Xia De:
"Of course not, it's because a viscount lost a child. Don't talk about it, just remember to pay attention to it. The last is a very important thing. The day after tomorrow, that is, around noon on Wednesday, Queen Diana is going to Tobesk Ribbon-cutting ceremony at the station. We received news not long ago that the Gray Gloves are going to take action against the royals."

Captain Ladds had vaguely mentioned this point, and even the citizens had heard about it, and of course MI[-] would know about it.

".But it was later discovered that another organization was operating under the name of Gray Gloves. We have some intelligence personnel, you know, probably double-faced spies or something. The person who confirmed the situation, Gray Gloves did not want to cause conflicts between the two countries. war."

He looked at Xia De, and saw that Xia De had an understanding expression, and then continued:

"Mr. An Luosi suspects that the mysterious organization intends to attack Queen Diana, so you can pay attention to the news in this regard."

This matter has nothing to do with Shad. He is just a salary thief who does not work for a salary and has no intention of being related to political events.

Mr. Johnson was still talking, he joked:
"Of course, there is no definite news yet, and it may not be a conspiracy against the queen. But if something really happened on Wednesday... our dear director, Mr. An Luosi, will probably be assigned to work in the 'National Cemetery Management Association' Yes, I heard it was an idle job."

"In my homeland, this distribution is often referred to as 'caretaker of the royal tomb'."

While cooperating with Mr. Johnson's smile, Xia De also said to the woman in his heart, and then got a chuckle answer.

In this way, Xia De, who only dealt with the funeral of the hidden foreign agent half a month ago, officially became a member of the intelligence organization "MI[-]" of the Kingdom of Delarion.Although I only get paid for not working, this identity will definitely be of great help in the future.

Miss Galina, a great witch from the Witch Council, Xia De was still curious about what the other party saw in him when he walked towards home with an umbrella in his hand.

"If it's just the Rhodes card, it shouldn't be so good to me. Even if the other party really doesn't care about these, but these help is a bit too much. Is it because I think too much, or do I really have other plans?"

He looked at the city rain scene in the age of steam, and walked forward while thinking.
