Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 14 The Dark Mage

"What... do you mean?"

Ethan's breathing became rapid and speaking became difficult.

Ivy replied, "It means literally that as long as we send a letter, it shouldn't be a problem to transfer you to the intelligence department of the Bureau of Inclusion. From what I know, it's not a difficult place to get into."

On this day, Ethan witnessed the darkness of the imperial capital with his own eyes.

According to his plan, he would need another three years to save enough money to rent a house in Gear City. By that time, he would have accumulated five years of work experience. If he was lucky enough, the president's letter of recommendation would play a certain role. After becoming a formal employee of the Shelter Bureau, he would have to start from the grassroots level. Usually, new recruits would be sent to border towns. If they performed well during this period and were appreciated by their superiors, they would have the opportunity to be transferred back to the headquarters.

About another five or six years passed.

All of this is based on good enough luck. In fact, the work of low-level intelligence personnel is not that safe. They need to take over cursed objects frequently. If a major case occurs in the town during their tenure, they have to go to the front line of the abnormal scene.

Ten years of hard work, plus the good fortune of her ancestors, are just the weight of a letter to Ivy.

So dark!

It is much darker than the followers of evil gods!
Ethan often felt that he was not dark enough and was out of tune with this world. No wonder he always saw people saying slogans like "I don't want to work hard anymore" in his previous life.

He looked at Ivy deeply. It was obvious that she inherited the fine blood of the nobility. She was young and beautiful. She might be the most beautiful woman in Creekwood Town. She had a good figure, and more importantly, she was kind-hearted.

"Master Ivy, we have been working together for some time."

To show his determination, he picked up the bowl and drank the broth in one gulp.

In fact, he has always felt that he has the potential to become a dark wizard, but he has always lacked an opportunity. "Look, I didn't run away with your gun, which shows that I am brave, and I am smarter than other people in this town."

These are all Ivy’s original words.

"Just talk if you want to. Why are you rubbing your hands?"

Ivy frowned. Ethan looked like he was up to no good after he put the bowl down. Plus, he was shirtless, which was really embarrassing to watch. "You want me to write a recommendation letter for you?"

“I always feel that I am no worse than those people, I just lack a platform.”

"What's in it for me?"

"If I succeed in the Internment Bureau, everyone will know that you have a keen eye for talent and can dig out talent from an unpopular border city."

Ethan felt that this was probably what people called a life-changing opportunity, but he was pessimistic about the outcome. The reason was simple. Just like Ivy had just asked, he couldn't bring value to her or Margaret's family right now. He could only adopt the tactic of painting a pie in the sky. "How about treating it as an investment in the future?"

He believed that he could make a career in the intelligence department of the detention bureau. It wasn't that he was blindly confident, but there were too many people who didn't do their work in that department. Anyone who came to work on time would be highlighted as an excellent employee who loved his job and was dedicated to his work.

"Then prove it to me."

"how to prove?"

"While you were sleeping, the commissioner of the Confinement Bureau had already taken away the cursed object. They learned about the destruction of Riverside Town and also mentioned that the frequency of abnormal cases has been increasing recently. The General Administration has the idea of ​​establishing an intelligence station in the border city. Since you don't want to be my assistant, then be my colleague."

Ivy said, "From today on, I am the station chief and you are the investigator."

“Is your website legitimate?”

Ethan expressed his doubt. He felt that Ivy's words were too light and a bit like bluffing.

After all, this is not about stuffing people into the logistics department, but about actually setting up stations on the front line. Even if the General Administration really has plans in this regard, it will not entrust it to the children of nobles who use connections but do not do the work.

"Of course it's formal."

"Is he officially employed? Isn't he an intern or a temporary worker? Is he recognized by the General Administration?"

"Have."

Ivy remained calm. Although she didn't have it now, there was nothing that a letter couldn't solve. "Official investigator ID card, complete performance evaluation system, and the ability to participate in the quarterly performance evaluation. I will stay in Ximu Town for a while. As long as you perform well during this period, I will write a letter of recommendation to transfer you to the General Administration."

Ethan thought about it.

Ivy had given him her gun before, and even though she knew there was a risk that he would escape, she still chose to trust him.

If we work together, he would be a good leader.

"Deal, oh no, I'll work hard."

It’s hard to find a good leader these days, and the key is that this leader knows the current director of the detention bureau.

Not being able to achieve his goal in one go was not dark enough, but at least it would allow Ethan to struggle for a few years less, and it could also eliminate the factor of luck. He has never been lucky. After all, which lucky person would travel to such a dangerous world.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. His life in his previous life was not satisfactory, but it was not so bad that he had to worry about being kidnapped or assassinated the moment he left the house.

The premise is that Ivy did not lie to him.

Ethan thought that a noble lady of this age would not deceive a poor man like him, right?

Margaret.

He silently repeated Ivy's last name in his mind, and always felt that it was somewhat familiar. When he repeated it for the sixth time, he suddenly started and slapped his thigh hard. The golden hair on Ivy's head was startled by him and silently spit out sweet words at him.

A name came to his mind.

Diana Margaret.

"Excuse me, Queen Diana is..."

Ivy didn't answer, and said coldly, "Don't mention my last name outside in the future."

"Good leadership."

Ethan said this, but he was wondering in his heart, could it be that this young lady had sneaked out of the house?

"Don't call me boss either. You need to use code names when working with me. Mine hasn't been sent to you yet."

Ethan understood.

He had done his homework in the early stages. Every staff member of the Shelter Bureau would be given a code name for confidentiality reasons. Due to the special nature of the work, the Shelter Bureau had to do its best to ensure that their families were not targeted. However, in recent years, with the increasing number of employees in the Shelter Bureau, the code names had become increasingly strange.

"No problem, Ms. 'My Hair'!"

This code name is really too long, and Ethan thinks it would be catchier to shorten it to three words.

"hiss!"

Ivy gasped, and her expressionless face finally showed some changes. Ethan saw her raise her right hand several times and make gestures that were almost like the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. It was the aristocratic etiquette that prevented her from using this vicious claw on his forehead.

For the first time, Ethan heard Ivy's teeth-gritting voice, "I mean, our ID cards haven't been sent yet, and we don't have a code name yet!"

Her chest heaved violently, and it took her a full minute to suppress the urge to slap Ethan to death.

Ivy felt like her teeth were about to break. "I think you're almost recovered. You can start working in the afternoon."

The establishment of a new site inevitably requires the purchase of infrastructure. "Go change your clothes. We will go to Fireplace Bay in a while."
