Chapter 1559 Sweeping the floor is a peerless master
December 23, 837 in the Julian calendar, in the red maple forest, cloudy.
There was a light snowfall just last night. When people got up from bed in the morning, they were surprised to find that thin flakes of snow covered the ground, walls, roofs...the whole world was replaced with clean white.
The largest comprehensive university in the world is dressed in white and becomes beautiful.
Because the water in Mingjing Lake has not frozen, the water vapor in the lake continues to evaporate, and then falls on the trees in the college with the wind, and then condenses due to the low temperature, forming a unique rime scene.
Looking from afar, the tall pine trees, fir trees and oak trees are all covered with a layer of translucent ice crystals, like a dream.
The melodious bells echoed in the campus, and the cold but fresh air was very pleasant.
In the campus, young people wearing winter clothes and holding books were walking back and forth. From time to time, a few girls' laughter was heard, like oriole-like laughter. Everything seemed peaceful and peaceful.
The clouds of war have long since left the Maple Leaf Forest, and the campus has returned to its former atmosphere.
And the war that happened thousands of miles away seemed to have nothing to do with this place.
If it weren't for the news about the war that was still published in the newspapers, people in Maple Leaf Danlin would have forgotten about it.
In fact, it is not just Maple Leaf Danlin, but now, the entire human continent after the war is like this.
In the memories of people in Maple Leaf Danlin, some only have great legends about Lord Lorraine, about Catherine, Adele and Vera, and even about Second Master Leore.
Sometimes, there will be senior students pointing to a certain place with pimple-faced juniors and telling them that that is where Lord Lorraine used to pick up girls... bah bah. Back then.
A place where people lived and fought.
I think back then, when that guy first came here, he wasn’t as handsome as you or me, so we have to study hard and make progress every day.
I believe that as long as there is gold in this world, it will definitely shine.
In the future, when you and I graduate, maybe we can date a princess, a wizard, or something beautiful, and then return to our hometown in glory and glory.
Listening to those inspiring words that filled people with positive energy in an instant, the eyes of those innocent young students suddenly shone, and their fighting power soared.
Then...then I was spat at by the girls passing by, secretly scolding them for being shameless. Then I quickened my pace and stayed away from those fools with negative emotional intelligence.
In short, Maple Leaf Danlin is very peaceful, almost too peaceful, even a little boring.
For example, people at venture capital firms think so.
The Maple Leaf Danlin Branch of the Venture Capital Company is the largest branch of the Flying Eagle Group Venture Capital Company outside the Ruman Empire headquarters. It is managed by a branch manager who reports directly to Belen.
The branch is divided into several different departments. There are people from the CIA and the SS. There are also several secret departments that are unknown to the public.
Their mission scope is also extremely wide: recruiting outstanding students from various colleges, protecting the Maple Leaf Danlin Alchemy Research Institute of the Flying Eagle Group, and investigating and arresting spies who want to spy on stolen technical information.
Supervise the work conditions of the Maple Leaf Danlin War Fortress construction workshop, prevent the leakage of construction data, screen whether there are spies among the construction workers, and see if anyone is doing small tricks behind Lorena's back, embezzling public funds or cutting corners.
It even includes spying on ambassadors to the United Nations and eavesdropping on their phone calls, telegrams and letters.
All in all, they are all important but tedious daily tasks.
Although the spies were arrested one after another, those opponents were too amateurish. You could see through their true nature with just a glance, and there was no thrilling struggle at all.
Unlike the CIA agents who were active on the Semitic front lines, they lived a wonderful life with their heads in their belts, but it was extremely fulfilling.
After the Maple Leaf Danlin War two years ago, the agents who had been active on the front line of the war against the undead really couldn't muster up their energy for the boring and passionless work they were doing now.
In order to facilitate management and motivate employees, Lord Luo implemented extremely strict union management of each company.
In a venture capital company, if there is no action, there will be no credit, if there is no credit, there will be no dpk, and if the dpk is not enough, you will not be promoted quickly.
They can only sit at their desks and finish their qualifications, recalling the prosperous years of battling wits and courage with the enemy in occupied areas.
These agents are accustomed to living a thrilling and exciting life. Although they yearn for quiet days, many of them find that they don't like this kind of life at all once they have some free time.
Many agents from branches in various places are reporting to be transferred to the Semitic people. The manpower at the front is tight, and many elites have indeed been transferred.
A large number of old people in this branch also left, but branch manager Tolan Griffin knew that even if everyone could leave, he couldn't.
Manager Griffin has been a little upset recently. After a large number of people were removed from the front line, the replacements were all a bunch of rookies with eggshells on their butts.
Although those people were highly educated, they always made mistakes when doing things, which made Griffin very angry several times.
At this time, he was standing in his office on the fifth floor of the headquarters building outside the Maple Leaf Alchemy Research Institute. He frowned and looked out the window at the snowy scene of Maple Leaf Danlin. He sighed longly and felt worried in his heart: How to train him?
The new recruits under my command are about to have their year-end evaluation again.
It was disappointing enough that he didn't get credit, but he couldn't let it result in negative points.
It is said that there are several bastards in the head office who are eyeing his position...
Griffin was so distracted that he didn't even hear the secretary's knock on the door. It wasn't until the secretary came in to inform him that Griffin woke up, looked at the male secretary with a straight face, and said, "What's the matter?"
There are strict regulations within the company that no one is allowed to have a female secretary, so the secretaries of managers at venture capital companies are all men.
Intelligence work is a shadowy industry, and it is indeed not suitable for women. There are very few female agents in the company. As a result, their marriages have become important tasks for Deipole.
However, there are also speculations within the company that the reason why Boss Luo is not worthy of a female secretary is because all of Boss Luo's secretaries are middle-aged aunts. This matter has aroused the ridicule of officials from various countries.
Therefore, he changed all his secretaries to men to share the pressure on him.
Griffin, like all secret service chiefs, always has a straight face, is silent, and exudes a gloomy aura. His subordinates are very stressed when facing him.
The secretary said carefully: "There is an urgent message from Camp No. 1."
Griffin was shocked. A surprised expression flashed across his face. Camp No. 1 refers to Lord Lorraine's headquarters.
He slapped the table and said hurriedly: "Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you bring it to me quickly?"
Out of the first rule in the office, the secretary just curled his lips and did not dare to refute. He hurriedly handed over the letter.
Griffin took the telegram from his secretary and scanned it hastily.
Although this telegram was urgent, it did not use a code, indicating that the content of the letter was not important.
He just asked him to go to the janitor of Maple Leaf Danlin Library and ask him how many books he wanted. He also asked the venture capital company to use the fastest war fortress immediately after finding it and deliver it to Lord Lorraine in the shortest possible time.
There.
Although I don’t know which song Sir Lorraine is singing, since he said that he would use the ‘fastest war fortress’ and ‘the shortest time’, it shows that this is definitely not a trivial matter.
Griffin thought about it briefly in his mind: it was just a few pieces of information, and there was no need to mobilize an army.
Just leave this kind of thing to the secretary.
Just as he was about to hand the telegram to his secretary and order him to execute it, something suddenly occurred to him.
Griffin waved his hand and drove the secretary out, locked the door, and then opened the bottom drawer of his desk. Inside was a small password box.
After turning the two code disks a few times, Griffin took out a booklet from it and turned to a page in his memory. There was a note sandwiched in it, and he saw the words in his memory.
"Never mess with the janitor of the Great Library. If you encounter a very serious emergency and a problem that the company cannot handle, you can ask him for help."
The handwriting is crooked and not pretty, probably a little better than that of a primary school student. Anyone familiar with it knows that this unique font is the handwriting of Lord Lorraine.
The only thing uglier than this bad word is Chairman Leo.
Every time Catherine forced Leo to practice calligraphy, Leo would use Sir Lorraine as a shield. In the end, he had no choice but to let it go and it was regarded as an anecdote among the senior officials of the Flying Eagle Group.
And I have to say that this is a good thing for confidentiality work, because it is really not easy to find a few people in the world who can write like Lord Luo.
This note was given to Griffin by Lord Lorraine before he took office.
As for other characters who need his attention, Lord Lorraine narrated them orally, but this one was the only one who wrote it down, which shows that it is extraordinary.
After putting it in the safe for two years, Griffin almost forgot about it, so this little thing that was not a trivial matter was obviously not a trivial matter.
Manager Griffin thought for a while and decided to go there himself. He took his coat off the coat rack, put on his hat, and walked out of the office.
The secretary outside just looked up and said nothing.
The cold and fresh air outside refreshed Griffin's spirits, and he felt much more awake. The heating in the room was turned on too much, which always makes people drowsy, and then he walked on the street of Maple Leaf Danlin.
No matter what time it is, the streets of Maple Leaf Danlin are always lively and bustling. New Year is coming soon. Many students do not go home, but choose to stay in school to spend the winter vacation.
The young people from the Master Academy could not control their boredom and piled up many ice sculptures on the roadside, adding a lot of color to the campus.
The Great Library is located in the center of Maple Leaf Forest. Griffin walked for half an hour before reaching the door and looked up at this tall and magnificent library.
As the most important building in Fengye Danlin, the Great Library represents Fengye Danlin’s tireless learning spirit and is one of the largest libraries in the world.
Griffin also came here when he first arrived in Maple Leaf Danlin, looking for some interesting books to read, but he had never seen the gatekeeper, and he did not dare to send someone to investigate the gatekeeper. Over time, because
He was so busy at work that he forgot about it.
However, I have heard some mysterious legends about the Great Library.
Legend has it that the Great Library is the most fortified fortress in the world. As long as the library is closed, no one can sneak into the library.
Many young people who did not believe in evil had challenged this legend. However, they were all found sleeping a few streets away the next day. However, they could not remember what happened that night.
It is generally believed that the academy has specialized magicians to guard the large library.
Another legend is that at a certain time of a certain month, a non-existent bookshelf will appear in a corner of the big library, with things like "Nine Yin Manual" and "Dugu Nine Swords" placed on it.
, "Xiao Li's Flying Knife", "Sunflower Collection", "Evil Sword Techniques"... and other most profound secret books.
It is said that Lord Luo got a set of secrets among them, so he could dominate the world and be invincible.
Although many legends cannot be verified, there is one thing that makes everyone have to admit that there is indeed something weird about this big library.
During the Battle of Maple Leaf Danlin two years ago, most of the buildings in the academy were hit, crashed, or even destroyed by the undead war fortresses in the fierce air battles. Even Lester's office was
No one was spared.
The large library located in the central area was unscathed. You must know that the top of the library was the place where the most intense fighting was.
Griffin took a deep breath and walked into the library's outer door.
At this time, there were many young men and women coming in and out of the library. The heating in the library was always on during the day, which was much more comfortable than their dormitories.
Griffin did not walk into the library. Instead, he turned a corner and walked towards the inconspicuous door on one side. He stood in front of the door. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.
A few seconds later, there were two more knocks.
Through the wooden door, Griffin heard several "clang" sounds coming from the room. Apparently someone moved too quickly and hit the seat.
For some reason, Griffin suddenly remembered the last time he came home unexpectedly. When he knocked on his son's door, he made the same sound, and then his son opened the door with an unhappy look on his face...
While Griffin was thinking about it, the wooden door opened with a creak, revealing a dissatisfied old man's face, glaring at him and saying unhappily: "What are you doing?"
The smell of alcohol wafted from the crack in the door. The experienced Griffin only smelled it with his nose and recognized that it was a royal salute, which was worth its weight in gold.
A doorman whose salary is at most one gold coin per month cannot afford to drink such famous wine, which further shows that this old man is not simple.
Griffin nodded respectfully and said: "Hello, old man, I am sending you a telegram on the order of Lord Lorraine."
Branchella flattened her lips and said, "It's that kid. He must be up to no good. Come in."
He let Griffin into the room, took the telegram handed over by Griffin, looked at it and said doubtfully: "What the hell is this kid doing? Why does he want that little girl Vera's book? He can't understand it."
…”
Because she wanted to keep it secret, Lorraine did not directly say that she wanted the book that Vera had read when she was a child, but Brancrula could understand the words above at a glance.
At the end of the telegram, there was a description of the monster's characteristics, and he was asked to look for books with similar monsters.
Blancrella muttered: "If it's not just a cave-dwelling monster, why are you looking for that thing?
Okay, I understand. You wait here for half an hour, and I will go find these books."
Branchrella left a word and turned around and walked into another door. Griffin just thought he went to look for books in the big library and didn't think much about it.
But after Brancrula left, I couldn't help but look at this mysterious figure's room.
The room is not big and the furniture is very simple, but it is very comfortable and the fire in the fireplace is burning brightly.
On the ground was a broken bottle of red wine, with dark red liquid spilled all over the floor. There were several plates on the table, containing roast chicken, ham, and sausages. It was obvious that this old gentleman liked meat very much.
A luminous object in the room caught Griffin's attention. It seemed to be a small lamp, which was covered under the tablecloth and emitted colorful light through the tablecloth.
Griffin couldn't help but be curious. In their profession, they like to pry into other people's secrets.
He stepped forward and slightly lifted the tablecloth, and a bright beam of light shot out from under the tablecloth and reflected on the white wall opposite.
Suddenly, I saw a beautiful picture on the wall that would make a normal man's blood rush. Pairs of white and slender thighs flew across the picture. Occasionally, you could see beautiful panties accidentally exposed.
Griffin was completely stunned. He recognized that the glowing object was a photo crystal. It was a rare and hard-to-find high-end product. Venture capital companies searched all over the country and couldn't get a few pieces.
It is usually used to record extremely important image data.
Someone actually used them to record the white thighs of female students. No, since they were flying in mid-air, these should be the thighs of female magicians.
The person who uses it is the library gatekeeper.
Griffin suddenly felt that his worldview was about to be overturned, and he thought to himself: Could it be that Maple Leaf Danlin is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and those who guard the gate are all magisters?
Now he would somewhat believe the story written in Lord Siren's novel, that those who sweep the floor in the monastery are all peerless masters.
"How many secrets does Maple Leaf Danlin have that he doesn't know about?" Griffin felt that he still knew too little, and he became more and more afraid of facing the big boss, Lord Lorraine.
Despite his young age, he has many trump cards in his hands.
After staying there for who knows how long, Griffin suddenly woke up, hurriedly put down the tablecloth, covered the glowing image crystal, took a few steps back and stood far away.
The branch manager of the venture capital company did not know that just now, he had unintentionally cracked the case of the voyeuristic female magician, which was ranked third among the top ten mysterious cases in Maple Leaf Danlin.
A moment later, Brancrula walked in with a schoolbag in her arms, and stuffed the large schoolbag into Griffin's hand.
Griffin felt his hands suddenly feel heavy. This package of books was quite heavy.
Brancrula clapped her hands and said, "I wonder why this girl Vera is so stupid. It turns out that she really didn't like reading when she was a child, and she only has a few books here.
Okay, you can send it to Lorraine. I’ll give you a suggestion, boy, you’d better not peek.”
Griffin nodded guiltily and said: "Yes, I promise that no one will peek before it is delivered to Sir Alex."
Branchrella nodded and said: "I'm doing it for your own good. If you read too many books like this, you will collapse. Okay, walk quickly, and don't bother me if you have nothing to do in the future."
Griffin was kicked out. He was dazed at the door with his schoolbag in hand. Then he quickly returned to the company, sealed the schoolbag with a lead seal himself, sent it to the war fortress on standby, and sent it to Sailfish as quickly as possible.
