Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 10 Sure enough, I was cheated
"The entire secret investigation department is divided into five departments from top to bottom except for the high-level committee."

"The logistics department we are in counts as one, and there is also the material management department responsible for material allocation and equipment research and development, the secret information department responsible for collecting intelligence, and the 'deceased' who speak out."

"Sue the dead?" Wei En asked suspiciously, "What department is that?"

Lacey said lightly: "Another name for the External Propaganda Department, the reason why they are called 'deceased' is that most of the time they need to speak out to the outside world, it is something bad."

"To be precise, they are the department that announces the casualties and handling results of the case."

"So, what is the last department?"

"The War Department, the core department of the entire Secret Investigation Department, they..."

Lacey paused slightly, "Well, you'll know when you see them. In short, those who can join the war department are lunatics."

She walked and talked, not only introducing the situation of the Secret Investigation Department, but also some precautions, to let him understand as comprehensively as possible.

This gave Wayne a very good feeling for Lacey.

But he was not idle when he was listening, he looked left and right, everything here was very new to him.

Of course, mainly by virtue of his perception ability to "see".

One of the most impressive is the place called the detention area.

When passing there, he could feel a weird fluctuation, just like the feeling he felt when he opened the rune circle in the morning.

But it must be stronger and weirder, as if it wants to swallow him up.

According to Lacey, the most dangerous thing in the entire Custer city-state is held there.She didn't specifically refer to creatures here, and there are many weird taboo items in it.

"Our secret investigation department doesn't have many rules, but there is one you have to remember."

Lacey stopped, looked at Wei En and said solemnly: "Never talk about anything related to faith in front of the director!"

Faith related?

Wayne looked at her puzzled.

Although he came to this world not long ago, he also knew that the church had an absolute advantage in many places.

Especially a church with a large number of believers like the Church of Dawn, even in a seaside city-state like Custer, can stand up to the Church of Storms.

"Captain Lacey, are you referring to the Church of Dawn?"

"all."

Lacey continued walking forward, "Dawn, Storm and Sea God, Fertility of the Earth, and the Red Moon. Anything related to these four churches is prohibited."

"Anyway, you just have to remember this. Under normal circumstances, Mr. Director is very easy to talk to."

Wayne nodded, but he didn't think it was a big deal, it was just a boss with some quirks.

"Here, this is the property management department."

Lacey stood still outside an iron gate, and complained: "I don't know why the director assigned this place to those worms!"

Wei En glanced around and exclaimed, "This place is beautiful enough."

Surrounded by flowers and plants of various colors, the layers are very layered. Among them, several kinds of flowers are very expensive and too bright.

There is a fountain at the gate, the spring water is very clear, obviously it is often taken care of.

What surprised him the most was the building in front of him. Just by looking at the exterior, he could feel that it was out of place with other buildings.

The gate is made of thick iron wood with exquisite patterns carved on it.

The supporting columns on both sides are extravagantly made of white-grained stone. Even an inexperienced predecessor of this kind of stone knows that its price is comparable to a gold pound.

The ground is covered with a floor made of the same stone, which is bright enough to be used as a mirror.

Forehead,
purple!
Wei En glanced at the ground and quickly covered his nose and looked elsewhere.

I don't know which great god's masterpiece it is, spreading the "mirror" on the ground is too unfriendly to those women in cool clothes...

"The best location and the most luxurious building in the entire secret investigation department... It is said that when it was built here, it took three years of funds from the department."

Lacey curled his lips and said: "I thought the former director built it for high-level officials, but I didn't expect that he raised a bunch of people who were just waiting to die."

"You seem to be very..."

"disdain!"

Lacey glanced at the ground, also aware that she was naked, and clamped her legs unnaturally, "The people in the property management department are mostly descendants of those who died before."

"Originally, the secretary hoped that they could inherit the legacy and use the energy of the property management department to strive to improve themselves. But I didn't expect... I didn't expect them to be so disappointing!"

It turned out to be the second generation of the Secret Research Department, now Wei En understands a little bit.

"jingle."

Lacey pressed the doorbell and said angrily, "Hurry up and get your things and leave, this damn floor... If I can't afford to pay, I really want to smash them all."

Before the door opened, a voice came, "That's not okay, Lacey, even if you break a piece, your salary for a year is not enough to pay for it."

"Somley, open the door quickly."

"Come on, why worry. We have worked together for so long, you should also understand the style of our property management department, right?"

"I don't understand." Lacey covered the hem of her skirt with one hand, trying to minimize exposure.

Seeing this, Wei En took off his coat and handed it over, "Captain Lacey, this is for you."

Lacey quickly tied the coat around her waist, her face slightly relaxed, "I won't say thank you, I will treat you tonight and take you to experience Custer's nightlife."

"you are welcome."

However, nightlife or something... still needs it!
At this time, the door slowly opened inward.

A young man with the dark blue uniform of the Secret Adjustment Department draped over his shoulders came out, glanced at the ground, and curled his lips and said: "Lacie, we are old friends, it is not good for you to be so defensive."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Lacey snorted, "Our logistics department has a new colleague today, I'm too lazy to beat you up."

"New colleagues?"

It was only then that Somley noticed Wei En next to him. A trace of displeasure flashed across his face, but he laughed and said, "Welcome, welcome, you are welcome to join the Secret Research Department. I am Somley Arias from the Property Management Department." .”

"Wayne Loft."

I don't know why after this person came out, little Asi's gaze has been fixed on this person named Somlai, and he didn't even look at Lai Xi's pair of stalwart white spots.

This made Wei En interested in the person in front of him.

"Then come with me. The equipment is in the warehouse nearby."

With a vague arrogance on his face, Somley turned around lightly and walked in front to lead the way.

"You go, I'll wait for you outside." Lacey frowned while looking at the brighter ground inside.

"it is good."

After finishing speaking, Wei En followed, focusing on Somley just like Little Assi.

"Looking at you, it's not Custer's?"

"It didn't take long."

Somlai turned around and glanced at him, his eyes scrutinizing, "You dare to join the Secret Adjustment Department when you first come here, or are you the most dangerous logistics department besides the combat department? Are you an extraordinary profession, or are you the inheritor of an extraordinary bloodline?"

Wei En was stunned for a moment, not because of the question raised by the other party, but because of the most dangerous line about the logistics department.

"The most dangerous... logistics department?"

"It turns out that you don't know anything about secret investigators, tsk!"

Somley showed an inexplicable smile, looked at him and said, "Isn't it Wei En, I hope to see you in the secret investigation department in the future."

After saying that, he didn't explain much, but quickened his pace, as if he didn't want to waste time with an irrelevant person.

Seeing him like this, Wei En had some bad premonitions in his heart, maybe this logistics department is not what he imagined.

It seems that later, it is necessary to ask the captain to clarify the job responsibilities of the logistics department...

"Don't be stunned. I have to go to the cathedral later. Come here quickly."

Somle took out a piece of parchment and laid it on the table, and said: "Sign your name here. Also, I have to remind you that the secret blending department's funds are tight."

"After the equipment is damaged, you have to pay half of the maintenance fee."

Wayne glanced at the suitcase in his hand and asked, "Is the maintenance cost expensive?"

"It's very expensive...do you pay it back? Rookie, put away your poor imagination."

Somle sneered: "What's in this box is the most sophisticated and powerful standard equipment in the entire Custer city-state."

"Apart from some custom-made equipment, this is the most precious thing. Just selling this set on the black market can make you rich overnight."

"You don't think we're really the bastards that Lacey says are just waiting to die, do you?"

Wayne blinked, "You mean, it can be sold?"

If he really got rich overnight, this deal is not impossible.

At worst, after selling the equipment, he left the kingdom of Xiatland and ran far away.

As for whether the person in the property management department is a piece of shit... what does this have to do with him?
"..."

Somley had a weird expression on his face, and the veins on his forehead twitched, "If you dare to sell them privately, just wait for the lunatics from the war department to come to you!"

"I'm just kidding."

Wei En signed his name, picked up the box, and asked casually, "Brother Somley, are you going to the church to watch Archbishop Kland lead the hymn?"

"Who cares about that old man, I'm going to see my goddess Kali... why are you asking this?"

"Goddess Kali?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

Wayne watched his eyes become dangerous and pretended to be happy and said, "If it's the goddess Kali who studies at Krims College, I should know her."

Since little Asi is so interested in him, it's better to leave a hook properly.

"You? Know Goddess Kali?"

"Yes."

Somley said disdainfully: "Then I still know her father... Hurry up, don't delay my get off work!"

"See you later, Brother Somley."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Wei En didn't say any more, shrugged and turned to leave.

The hook has been dropped, and there are opportunities ahead.

After he left the property management department, he saw Lacey standing next to the fountain with an impatient face, and beside him was a tall and strong man.

"...Brother Santiago, I have already expressed my attitude, please don't appear in front of me again."

"Lacey, I know you have misunderstood me. Time will prove that I am the most powerful successor to the Montoya family."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Captain Lacey, I have received the equipment here."

When the strong man heard the voice, he turned around and glanced at Wei En. After saying "Let's talk next time", he turned and left.

Lacey did not respond to his words, but handed the coat tied around her waist to Wayne, "Let's go."

Wei En was stunned for a long time, then he suppressed the trembling in his body, took the coat and put it on stiffly, "Who was that just now?"

"Brother Santiago, he is from the war department, a lunatic! When you see him in the future, remember to stay away from him."

Wayne nodded calmly, "Oh."

That look... so frightening, he thought he was going to die.

The moment his eyes met the man's, he felt the world spinning in front of him, and he seemed to see a towering giant figure roaring at him.

Lacey looked at him, as if thinking of something, his expression became angry, "This bastard! He actually used shock and awe on you!"

"The next time I see him, I will definitely not spare him!"

"Shock?"

"A kind of spiritual magic. As long as the mental level is not higher than that of the caster, you will be forced into a dazed state. In severe cases, you may even become an idiot!"

Lacey gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect him to dare to attack you. Isn't he afraid of being punished by the director?"

"It's okay, I'll find out later."

Wei En didn't care about it on the surface, but he remembered the name Santiago in his heart.

This place, if he has the chance, he will definitely find it!

"Let's go, I'll introduce you to the secret investigation department after I go back."

"Ah."

Wei En followed behind with his suitcase, "By the way, I don't know the responsibilities of our logistics department yet. Can you introduce them to me?"

"Huh? When you signed the entry contract, didn't Yegor explain it to you?"

"Perhaps Minister Yegor has forgotten."

"This bastard!" Lacey cursed again, "I knew he didn't say anything. Isn't this intentional to deceive people?"

"..."

Did this one forget that when they first met, she used the word "fudge".

"Our logistics department, the full name is actually the logistics and investigation department! In fact, the scope of work has nothing to do with logistics."

"...What about the specifics?"

Although Wei En had some psychological preparations, when he really heard this, he still felt cheated!

"The specific work mainly includes two parts,"

Lacey said with a little embarrassment: "One is responsible for the investigation of all mysterious cases within the city of Custer. I know it's inappropriate to say this, but in fact this job is very dangerous!"

"Does that mean I have to go to all kinds of dangerous places?"

"Not only that, it also includes dealing with those believers of evil gods, out-of-control extraordinary professionals, and..."

"and also?!"

Wayne rolled his eyes, he already understood what the logistics department did.

If the image is more vivid, it is the policeman of the extraordinary world!
"The other thing is to collect as many weaknesses of those weird creatures as possible to provide help for the combat staff..."

"That is to say, we have to fight those weird creatures in advance?"

"No," Lacey said shyly, "or you can learn about it in other ways..."

Wei En took a deep breath, not intending to continue entangled in this issue, but asked, "What about the other one?"

"The other one is to be responsible for the finishing work of the case!"

Speaking of this, Lacey's expression relaxed, and he smiled and said: "I guarantee this duty, you are absolutely satisfied!"
