Chapter 227 Letter
Three days passed like this. In the morning, Camus, who was still asleep, was awakened by several knocks on the door. He opened his sleepy eyes and took off the knowledge of promotion on his face. He saw Lux wearing a dress embroidered with white daffodils and looking at him with red eyes. Seeing her like this, Camus suddenly woke up. He quickly climbed up and spoke in a surprised tone.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother, Taylor's body..." At this point, Lux closed his mouth and looked at Camus quietly.
"Well... It's okay. Take her to the hospital for a check-up later." Camus did not explain anything. Lux's reaction was exactly what he expected.
"Don't think about it. I'll make breakfast for you." Seeing Lux silent, Camus smiled lightly, patted her shoulder, and walked towards the bathroom.
"Well..." Lux opened her mouth but still didn't speak. Every time she waited for her to take a shower, Taylor had fallen asleep in her clothes. It was not until today that she saw Taylor's wound. She instantly knew why she had to sleep in her clothes.
It was already nine o'clock in the morning when the three of them finished breakfast. Camus pushed open the door of his house and saw a newspaper and an envelope at the door of his yard. Camus frowned and scanned the area. After finding nothing wrong, he bent down and picked it up. Camus' eyes were filled with a few big words: Citizen Daily of Caldecott City.
"Oh, I saw someone ordering a newspaper yesterday and I also ordered one. I saw that those gentlemen like these books very much, but why didn't they put it in the mailbox?" Lux's voice came from behind. She and Taylor were chewing an apple in their hands, and their tone was vague.
"The mailbox is broken. I'll find someone to fix it later." Camus, who got the response, was relieved immediately. He put the newspaper on the ground and picked up another letter. This was an exquisitely packaged envelope with the recipient and the sender's address written on it. Seeing this address, Camus was stunned and said something subconsciously.
"Adventurer's Guild? Why would the Adventurer's Guild send me a letter? I don't think I have any contact with them anymore?"
While thinking, Camus opened the envelope and unfolded a letter with a faint smell of ink. This was a letter written in the common language of Roland Continent, and the handwriting was a bit sloppy. Camus read it carefully.
"Dear Mr. Raymond Camus, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Mr. Black from the Adventurer's Guild of the Republic of Draf. I'm deeply sorry for what happened in Kadic City recently. There are signs that the cultists in Kadic have revived. We are recruiting you here. You will join the Adventurer's Guild, the Church of the Sun, and the Extraordinary Team of the Sanctuary Union to help them stabilize the public security in Kadic City. As for your remuneration, we will give you 2 gold coins per week. I hope you will report on time to No. 37 Maria Street."
"Damn, this person sits at home and things come from the sky. However, the weekly salary of these two gold coins is too tempting. This tone is not a discussion, but a call. Wouldn't it be bad if I didn't go?" Camus complained. He began to think about whether to go or not. The letter also clearly stated that this was a call, not a negotiation.
I seem to want to be an upright person. This result seems to be very suitable for me.
Camus suddenly smiled. He had planned to be a righteous person before, disguised in Kadic City, but he didn't expect to be given a pillow when he was sleepy.
"Not bad, not bad, 2 gold coins per week, it's already very high, my monthly salary is the salary of an average civilian for three months."
"What's wrong, brother?" Seeing that Camus was calm and then smiled after reading the letter, Lux tilted her head and spoke curiously.
"It's okay, I have to go out, and the mailbox repair problem is left to you. By the way... you can go to the recruitment market and find a lady who can cook. I guess I will be very busy in the future." Camus ordered, adjusted his hat, stopped a carriage, and rushed to Maria Street.
"What a weird brother, Taylor, I'll take you to the hospital." Lux picked up the newspaper on the ground. She glanced at it casually and saw a report that a gas explosion occurred on Maria Street in Caddick City, killing one citizen and injuring three citizens.
"Gas explosion? Forget it, I'd better not learn or cook." Seeing the gas explosion, Lux pursed her lips subconsciously and decided not to cook in the future.
Half an hour later, Camus looked at the street beside him and raised his eyebrows. Maria Street was sparsely populated compared to Golden Oak Street and Silver Oak Street. Various species lived here, most of them were aliens. Camus remembered that this place was planned for aliens to live in.
Camus was curiously looking at the circus not far away. Maria Street was the entertainment district of Caldecott City. It was full of opera houses, circuses, newspapers, law firms, etc., so the buildings here were relatively tall. Camus rarely came here, so he was a little curious.
You can try to invite Lacus to watch the circus and opera performances. You didn't have money before, but now you have money, and your quality of life has to improve.
"Sir, Maria No. 37 has arrived." The raccoon man on the carriage spoke softly. He wore a black top hat and was relatively short.
Upon hearing this, Camus put on her top hat, paid the fare and got off the car. When she saw the building in front of her, she was stunned. This was a revived building, all black, with four floors, and each floor had seven or eight rooms. It seemed to cover a very large area. There were neatly arranged green plants at the entrance of the building, and even beautiful architectural patterns on the dark walls.
"This is where I will work in the future. The Adventurer's Guild and the Church of the Sun are really wealthy and look very good." Camus breathed out lightly and walked to the gate. There were two men holding muskets standing at the gate. The defenders of the city, they asked softly after seeing Kamius.
"Is this Mr. Relimon Camio?"
"Um...yes." Kamius nodded slightly, thinking to himself, there were city guards standing guard at the door, they looked very tall.
"Please come in."
The soldier who got the answer looked Camus up and down, especially pausing for a few seconds on Camus' dark glasses and pointed ears.
Kamiao heard the words and walked in. Just as he was about to ask, the soldier guarding the door continued to speak.
"Several adults are waiting for you in the conference room on the second floor." Camus raised his eyebrows and walked in. On the first floor of the room was an empty hall, where several clergy and staff carrying materials were busy walking When they saw Camus coming in, they just raised their heads slightly, then quickly lowered their heads to get busy. Camus looked a little surprised and walked up the stairs. After finding the conference room sign on the second floor, he knocked a few times and left. Hearing a female voice coming from inside, the voice immediately startled him. He opened the door and saw a long oval table in the empty hall. Three people were sitting on the southeast, northwest and northwest. Camus saw two An acquaintance, he immediately smiled.
"Hey... Fiona, Mr. Locke, and this..." Camus turned his gaze to the man who was as strong as a cow, and his tone suddenly stopped.
"Forest"
After giving a brief reply, the tall man was also looking at Camus.
"Sit down. The seat to the north is yours. We are all here." Fiona said softly when she saw that Kamius and Lin had gotten to know each other.
"Okay..." Kamiao responded softly, pulled out the high-backed chair on the north side and sat down, then looked at a few more people.
"Everyone is here, let me introduce you, Shu Locke, the Second Sacrifice of the Pathway of Sequence Five Lights." Shu Locke stood up and spoke softly. After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Fiona.
"Swordsman" Fiona didn't stand up and gave a simple reply. There was no expression on his face. She received a letter as soon as she got up today, a transfer letter. When she saw this, she Only then did he understand what his uncle meant.
"Lin... the Black Iron Saint." Lin Ye said easily. He looked at Kamius again, with a little curiosity in his eyes.
"Kamiu, makeup artist..." Kamuo also answered briefly, with a slightly relaxed tone.
"When did you receive the transfer order?" Fiona said calmly after seeing everyone's introductions.
"I was notified three days ago and received the transfer order this morning." Xiu Locke spread his hands and told the result.
"Four days ago."
Lin still gave a short answer.
"today……"
Kamiao spread his hands and said something. He understood that this was already negotiated. As for why he was looking for him, he already had a vague answer in his heart.
"Mr. Camus, we are glad that you can join us. Here is the information for you to read for yourself." Fiona pushed over a piece of information, and Camus saw that it was a standard contract. God said what he should do.
According to the contract, he will assist Fiona and others in dealing with extraordinary events in the future. He does not need to fight, he only needs to provide practical help within the scope of his ability. The weekly salary is two gold coins, and the income from the task will be divided equally. However, he cannot ask for help. Others reveal information here and more.
"Very good..." Seeing that he didn't have to fight, Camus felt happy. This mission was really suitable for him.
"Mr. Camus, there are seven days a week. We plan to each be on duty for one day, and we will gather after extraordinary events." Seeing Camus finish reading, Fiona continued to speak. He has seen this kind of thing before, no matter how extraordinary the event is. Where they occur frequently, the three major organizations will mobilize extraordinary people from other places to form a special team to deal with these matters.
"Well..." Camus smiled slightly. There are four people here, which means that he only works one day a week. By the time he changes his shift, it's already the next week. Isn't this great? This is a weekly salary of two gold coins. Of course, there are certain risks in work.
"In the future, all extraordinary events of the three organizations will be handed over here. You have to hope that those cultists will be more peaceful, otherwise..." After saying this, Fiona shook her head gently, her tone a little emotional.
"We should have done this a long time ago. This place is not big, and there are too many extraordinary events. If not..." Shu Locke complained. After he said a few words, he suddenly stopped.
"I'll try my best." Lin replied briefly.
"You mean all extraordinary events? According to your experience, what is the incidence rate of extraordinary events?" After hearing that all extraordinary events had to be dealt with here, Camus sighed inwardly. Sure enough, the money is not that easy to make.
"Other places usually happen once every half a month. Considering the special circumstances here, there are a lot of takeaway potions. When I come here, it happens about once a week. But you can rest assured that most of them are first-order extraordinary people or First-order mutant." Fiona answered Camus' question lightly, her tone was very calm.
"Once a week? How come I don't know?" Camus was a little surprised when he heard the frequency of once a week. Why didn't he know it at all?
"We have personnel who will deal with the follow-up part. Most extraordinary events are accidents, and the newspapers said so." Shu Locke said calmly and answered Kamius.
Camus suddenly remembered that disappearances and explosions seemed to happen frequently in Caldecott City. He used to think that they were all done by black market personnel, but he didn't expect that the Church of the Sun and the Adventurer's Guild also joined in. When he was in the Adventurer's Guild, it seemed that the captain handled it in this way.
"Okay, let's talk about it. The first floor is the work hall for civilian staff, the second floor is our lounge, conference room, bedroom, chess and card room, music room, the third floor is the data room, and the fourth floor is the restaurant and bathroom. Mr. Camus, you can use it at will." Fiona stood up and pulled open the curtains on the side completely, letting in plenty of light.
