Chapter 32 Logistics Department
Xiao En spent the whole day in the library today.
He discovered that there was no rigid indicator for wizards' demand for knowledge. Although mystical knowledge was more valuable, conventional knowledge could also speed up the process of digesting supernatural essence.
Because knowledge helps wizards understand the world.
"If it is an ordinary scholar, after advancing to the wizard path, the speed of improving strength will be higher than that of others."
The cultural level of the extraordinary person will also affect the efficiency of the wizard's way of digesting the extraordinary essence.
Daisy was not with him today.
Daisy doesn't like reading!
She likes to get along with the stray animals in Dorne. Perhaps this is also a way to digest the power of nature.
It was already evening when Xiao En returned to his residence.
He saw William at the door, with a tall hooded woman standing next to him.
"This is Gemma."
William introduced softly: "She is a mystic."
Ok?
Mystic?
Sean seemed to hear the whisper of death.
Among the many dangerous professions, the ranking of mystics is much higher than that of investigators.
Jima is a very tall woman, half a head taller than Sean, probably over 1.9 meters tall. She has a thick frame and looks a bit like a man from the back.
When Xiao En saw her face clearly, he was immediately attracted by her striking hooked nose. Gemma's hooked nose was a bit exaggerated, like an old witch in a fairy tale. She wore many strange ornaments on her body, like a wandering gypsy, with brown eyes, gray skin, and a gloomy aura.
"Hello." Jima took the initiative to extend his hand.
Xiao En held the other person's hand. It was very rough, with gray and slightly sharp nails.
The other party stared at the confusion that Xiao En was wearing, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Thank you very much for your help in this extraordinary event."
"The Night's Watch Headquarters has prepared some awards for you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao En couldn't help but look at William beside him, and the other nodded slightly.
Jima continued, "Because you are not an investigator affiliated with the city of Dorne, we cannot give you a very good reward."
“You can choose a sum of money.”
"Or perhaps some material with extraordinary properties."
According to the internal assessment standards of the Night's Watch, Sean's achievement this time can be applied for a low-sequence extraordinary artifact, but he is now an "outsider" and rare objects cannot be handed over to outsiders, so he can only be rewarded with a sum of money, or some extraordinary materials from strange creatures.
The strange objects in the weird kingdom are extremely rare, and the holy relics are equivalent to strategic weapons.
Xiao En thought for a moment and said, "How much money is there?"
Jima glanced at him, thought for a moment and then said, "According to past practice, for extraordinary events involving high-level relics, you can get a reward of about 8000 to 12000 dinars."
The operating funds of the Night's Watch headquarters are secretly allocated from the treasury of the Kingdom of Dorne.
That's a lot of money.
As a senior investigator, Hank only received 2100 dinars this time, but what he received was considered as additional mental support.
“It’s probably about three or four months’ salary for me.”
"The salary of an ordinary investigator should not be as much as 3000 dinars."
"The butcher said that as long as I become Ms. Hecate's wizard apprentice, I will receive extra subsidies." Sean said to himself.
This money should also include a portion for the wizard apprentice.
Xiao En immediately said: "I choose extraordinary materials."
Although the real world is much safer than the weird kingdom and is protected by human miracles, there are still some strange creatures invading reality.
And it is the job of the Night Watchmen and Investigators to deal with them.
The twelve realms of Nirvana in the clock will block those powerful indescribable creatures, but just like a fishing net, those relatively weak and strange creatures have the opportunity to enter the real world. The monster in the market area is a bit strong, so a carrier of sacrifice is needed. Jima nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
"I will send someone to pick you up and take you to the logistics department tomorrow."
Dealing with supernatural events in the real world is a very tedious job. It’s not like when an investigator finds something strange, he or she just calls for help or the night watchman to kill them, and that’s the end of it.
They needed to erase the traces of strange existence, deal with their corpses, assess the pollution of strange creatures to the surroundings, conduct psychological investigations on nearby residents, etc. After the Night Watch dealt with the strange incidents, the huge logistics department of Dorne City began to operate.
They even have specially trained extraordinary people who are used to erase the memories of ordinary people who have experienced strange events.
Seems to be some extraordinary person with spiritual connection.
This kind of extraordinary person can delete the short-term memory of ordinary people, or tamper with the hints to erase the relevant important parts, so that they forget everything and return to ordinary life.
The extraordinary people on this path are a little more fragile than wizards.
Silent all night.
The next day, Sean met Jima again. Being a mystic is a high-risk profession and it is not easy for anyone to survive.
Jima gives people the feeling of being a wizard. He is from the same path as Sean, but the way of promotion may be different, because Jima's appearance reminds Sean of a legendary monster - the old witch.
Not all wizards are promoted from raw magic; this requires extremely high talent and very strong inspiration.
Some wizards, if they lack talent, will rely on some magical relics to advance, such as hags, night witches, mirror demons, etc. Their relics contain magic power, and as long as they are digested, they will have the basic magic power to cast spells.
However, as the price of stealing the extraordinary essence, one may become slightly contaminated.
That's why Gemma looks like an old witch.
The logistics department of the Night Watch is in the south of the church district. This area cannot be entered at will, and there are extraordinary people on duty outside.
In front of a modern building.
"Hello."
"My name is Ivan. I'm the psychologist here." A young and handsome man walked over.
Sean has seen him.
When he was in the old city, he was responsible for clearing the memories of witnesses. As a supernatural being with psychic abilities, he could delete and tamper with memories and plant psychological hints in people.
Sean held out his hand and said, "Hello. My name is Sean."
Ivan smiled and nodded, "I know. Many people in the Night's Watch know you."
"An investigator with extraordinary potential."
"Many people in the Night's Watch want to work with you. Do you plan to work in Dorne in the future?"
Xiao En looked a little surprised.
He thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure. I may have to follow the arrangements from above."
The Butcher and Lady Hecate should have some arrangements.
Ivan looked a little regretful and said, "That's right."
"You can come to me if you have any psychological problems in the future, including bad memories you want to forget."
Ivan blinked and said, "I am a professional in this area."
Investigators need to see a psychologist regularly and undergo psychological assessments every year, but even so, there are still many investigators who commit suicide.
This office building is very large.
There are many staff members along the way. The main departments are the logistics department, psychotherapy department, medical department, etc. Many people in white coats can be seen here.
"Please follow me." A short-haired woman dressed as a secretary appeared and said.
She looked back at Xiao En and said, "What you need has been delivered."
