Blood Throne

Chapter 19 Night Guardians

Night Guardians...

In Franka Empire's folklore, Night Guardians lived in darkness. They silently guarded humans, suppressed dark creatures, and protected humans falling asleep in the darkness.

However, because they had the blood of dark creatures, it was easy for them to lose control and fall.

Night Guardians, who had fallen, were the most terrifying dark creature and would bring disaster to humans.

Therefore, they lived in solitude.

Night Guardians were so mysterious and had a self-conflict, so they became the protagonist of all kinds of legendary stories.

The largest manga in the south of the Franka Empire had been carrying Night Guardians' stories for three years. There were many readers, and there were several fans of night watchers that Ryan knew.

Now, he had become one of them?

Ryan was sitting on a chair, with a desk in front of him. On the other side of the desk, Tess was busy. She was looking down at the drawer while talking. Ryan knew that he had joined Night Guardians from her.

"Found it!"

Tess raised her head and smiled at Ryan.

Compared to the first time they met, her smile was more lively. It was not as stiff as it was at the beginning. Her green eyes were slightly narrowed, like a ripple in the ocean. The cold commercial aura on her face had already dissipated.

"It's been a long time since the last person joined us. I almost forgot where the registration form is."

A report was placed in front of Ryan, with a form on it.

Name, birthplace, age, gender...

A report that was similar to Earth's employment report. Along with this report, there was also a pen. Then, Tess brought the ink over to Ryan and placed it beside his hand.

"Fill in this form. Ask me if you don't understand."

Everything was normal, just like normal employment procedures.

"Night Guardians..."

Ryan lowered her head to fill out the report, while Tess spoke to herself.

Usually, there were very few people who talked to her. At this moment, Tess spoke a lot. Moreover, she liked to answer her own questions while asking questions. She didn't wait for Ryan to answer and she would answer her own questions.

Night Guardians was a public office.

The real name was Security Department of the Franka Empire. It was also called Iris Tectorum. The so-called Night Guardians were just agents of the Seventh Bureau. They specialized in solving mysterious cases, hunting monsters, and protecting humans from the harm of mysterious existences.

Every agent must be extraordinary beings.

So they would be able to come into contact with the mysterious world.

A world with supernatural laws and mysterious powers, a world filled with all sorts of unknown things, a world that would not be boring as long as you were willing to take risks...

Of course, this was also a dangerous world.

Tess told her story. Her father was an agent. He was fatally injured in a mission and died in the line of duty. As a family member, she was taken care of and came to Albert Cleaning Company.

Her work was divided into two parts.

The first part was naturally the daily operation of the cleaning company, receiving business, receiving payment. The other part was what she was doing now, doing some writing work for the agents, and at the same time, paying salary.

She also said that Ryan was not a real agent, and now, he was just an intern.

He also needed to systematically learn some knowledge and receive some training. Then, he would carry out several missions and pass some tests. In the end, he would have the opportunity to step over that door and become a truly extraordinary beings.

However, even if he was an apprentice, his salary was still very high.

One Gold Louis and the free accommodation, which was Ryan's monthly salary and benefits during his apprenticeship.

One Gold Louis was equivalent to 10,000 RMB. The salary was already higher than the lowest level civil servants in the city government. Ronzo Bell only had one Gold Louis in his monthly salary without any food or lodging. Mr. Devon had worked in the Williams Company for dozens of years and was also the manager of the company. Now, there were only two Gold Louis in his monthly salary. Speaking of which, the Devon family was a middle-class family in Lanceton.

If he could pass the apprentice stage and not die, once he became a real agent, even if he was the lowest one-star agent, Ryan's monthly salary would be raised to three Gold Louis. To some extent, it surpassed most ordinary people's income.

Although Ryan did not value money, he knew the importance of money.

In the world of Earth, money represented power.

In this world, money naturally could not completely represent power, but it was also a type of power. Here, the economic foundation deciding the upper level was somewhat inappropriate, but it was not a fallacy.

Just like Earth, with the rise of industrial society, the feudal aristocratic system that mainly focused on agriculture would collapse, and assets would become powerful forces. In that case, the Holy See that did not have extraordinary powers would decline. Even if people still had faith, religion was only psychological comfort. Most people only believed in money, and the world had become a flashy world that focused on enjoyment.

This world was different from Earth because there were extraordinary powers.

Power was the foundation of the upper level.

However, power also needed money.

Becoming extraordinary beings required a lot of strange materials. People without money can only watch. No matter how talented you are, it is useless.

Even though Ryan had a high monthly salary of one Gold Louis, it was only a little for his cultivation. If he wanted to become extraordinary beings, he needed to work for several years before he could save enough money because the basic supplementary materials would be worth more than a hundred Gold Louis.

If he relied on himself, he would never achieve that goal!

"This is just a job. Don't think too much about it."

Tess received the report from Ryan and looked at it carefully.

After finding that there was nothing wrong, she picked up a seal and stamped a red seal on the bottom right of every page of the report. Then, she kept it in a folder and placed it inside a drawer.

Then, she stood up and stretched out her hand.

"Ryan Charles, welcome to Security Department of the Franka Empire, the Seventh Bureau of Lanceton Branch. Now, we are colleagues!"

Ryan smiled and shook hands with Tess.

After that, Tess brought Ryan to the second floor.

The layout of the second floor was the same as the first floor's. There were also thirteen rooms. However, these rooms were not offices, but the dormitory of the intern agents. Each person had one room. Among them, eight rooms were occupied, and five rooms were empty. Ryan could choose any of these five rooms.

In other words, there were only eight interns in Iris Tectorum of Lanceton.

A branch with such a few intern agents?

What about the formal agents?

And how many?

Ryan could not go up to the third floor, there was a door on the second floor, a closed and heavy iron door.

That was?

Ryan asked Tess, but Tess just smiled and did not answer.

She told Ryan that it was still a restricted area for the current Ryan. Unless Ryan passed his internship and became a formal agent, he was not allowed to enter the third floor. Of course, Tess did not tell him the details of the third floor.

She said that she was not clear either and had never entered.

What exactly was there?

This question flashed through Ryan's mind.
