Blood Throne

Chapter 20 Being Ready

At the corner of Fifth Street, Ryan looked back to the west.

On the other end of the long street, the clouds spread in the air like fire, constantly changing shape. It looked extremely beautiful, but there was a hint of mystery. The sun had sunk under the sea level and disappeared.

A group of seagulls flew through the sky and the blood-red sea of clouds.

Even though they were far away from the port, there was still the smell of the sea. Occasionally, they could hear the majestic sound of a whistle.

Unknowingly, a day was about to pass.

Ryan took out his wallet. It was still a little thin before he went out, but now it was bulging. It was filled with banknotes. Just an hour ago, he signed a bill from Tess and got the salary for the next month in advance.

Gold Louis referred to gold coins and did not issue paper money. However, it could be converted into paper money. The paper money came from the number one national bank in France. It was still quite trustworthy. Unless the country went bankrupt, there would be no problems.

In addition, Ryan also received a badge and two sets of uniforms.

The badge looked the same as the badge used by the police. It was also a shield, and there was a sword inserted diagonally into the shield. The sword on the police badge was inserted diagonally from the left side into the shield, but this badge was inserted diagonally from the right to the left. So it would be similar to the badge of the Security Department. In fact, there were some differences. There were many thorns on the periphery of the badge.

This was the symbol of the Seventh Bureau.

The badge of the formal agent had stars on it, ranging from one star to nine stars. The more stars there were, the higher the rank of the agent, and the more amazing the combat effectiveness was. Nine-star agents did not exist in Franka Empire.

A hundred years ago, after the last nine-star agent missing, no one went up to that position.

The nine-star agents of the Security Department were Cardinals in Sanctuary, second to the Pope. They were also the most powerful in the entire Noya Continent.

The above were all Tess' speeches, more like a legend.

As an intern agent, there were no stars on the badge that Ryan was wearing. He had to step through the door and become a real extraordinary beings. Only then could he become a formal agent and carve stars on the badge.

It was not an ordinary decoration but had a defensive spell. At a critical moment, it might be able to save your life.

The badge of an agent was equivalent to a magic tool, not like the one worn by Ryan, which was a symbol of identity.

Tess gave Ryan a day off, which meant that he was given a day to deal with chores, such as moving houses, saying goodbye to friends and family, etc, and he was going to start work at eight o'clock the day after tomorrow.

The cleaning company had a shift system. He didn't have to go to work at nine in the morning and leave at five in the evening.

During the work time, unless there was a mission, they had to stay in the small building and were not allowed to take any leave. When there was no mission, they would practice in the special practice field, learn knowledge, and exercise.

The training ground was in the Underground Palace.

Yes, there was a huge Underground Palace under this small building. Some important departments were there. Because Ryan was not officially appointed, Tess did not take him down to have a tour. She would take him down when Ryan came to work tomorrow.

Ryan placed his hand on his waist, his fingers gently stroking the badge on his belt. He could feel the cold aura. There were many runes engraved on the back of the badge. Now, it was just a useless decoration. Only after it was activated, it would become a magic tool that was studded with the stars carved from magic stones.

Unless there was no other choice, it was better not to reveal his identity.

This was Tess' advice.

There were many terrifying monsters outside. Back then, the phenomenon that Ryan encountered at his mother's tomb was the aura of the monsters. These monsters were also known as the source of pollution. They could contaminate the will of humans and magnify the negative emotions in their hearts infinitely. In this way, they could turn people into monsters.

The reason why extraordinary beings of the Seventh Bureau were called Night Guardians was that they were chasing after the monsters in the darkness.

In the past, this was the duty of Sanctuary.

At that time, not only did Sanctuary's Religious Court of Inquiry hunt monsters, but also they suppressed wild extraordinary beings.

This was the origin of the Calamity of Wizard, and the Revolt of Witches.

The Seventh Bureau belonged to the government and was the ruling tool of the Franka Empire. Not only did they hunt monsters and protect humans, but they would also go against some human forces. There were many enemies in the dark.

Internship agents were very fragile and were the targets of those hostile forces.

Everyone knew how to take drastic measures.

For the enemy, hunting these intern agents was not very dangerous, but the damage caused was very serious. It made the Seventh Bureau lose its inheritance. If an organization did not have new members, there was no way to continue.

Compared to demons, humans were more terrifying.

Therefore, every new member will receive a piece of advice. If it is not necessary, do not reveal your identity.

In this regard, Ryan was clear.

People could only rely on themselves.

The only person he could trust wholeheartedly was himself.

The organization could be relied on, used, but could not be truly dedicated.

In short, this was a mysterious world. When you stepped into it, no matter how careful you were, it wouldn't be excessive.

Originally, he could still be armed with weapons, guns powered by Magic Stones, which were a bit like Earth's hot weapons. However, he was not strong enough now. The range of bullets fired by the Magic Stone g*n was limited, which was not much different from Earth's pistol. As for the power, some were like small-caliber pistols, while some were like sniper rifles.

This was related to the specifications of the magic stones.

Ryan had the right to be armed with a Magic Stone pistol.

However, he had not officially joined yet, so Tess couldn't open the armory and give him the weapon to use.

Even if the weapon was given to him, it would not be easy for him to use.

After all, there was a record of the bullets they received. After they used them, they should report it, just like Earth's police. Well, by the way, the patrol officers in this world could not be armed with weapons. They could only use short swords and shields, as well as police sticks.

Therefore, he still had to go there.

Tonight, to resolve that matter, he had to at least know who was targeting him.

Of course, he could avoid this trouble and hide in Albert Cleaning Company. Iris Tectorum might be able to protect himself, but it was not his style to avoid it.

Seizing the opportunity, he attacked. This was him.

His body changed and the world changed, but his style of doing things could not be changed!

Since the other party had already taken action, he had to fight back. Tonight was a good opportunity. He could follow the clues and find the mastermind.

But, he needed to make some preparations.

Staring at the badge in his hand, Ryan thought.

He didn't expect it would be useful so soon.
