After accepting all the arrangements at the embassy, ​​Alison walked out of the office, and Lelia was waiting for her at the door.

"Where are you going to study?" Lelia asked curiously.

"The Fourth Bureau of the Empire is in the Imperial Capital." Alison looked at Lelia and said.

"What? Are you going to betray the kingdom and serve the empire?" Lelia's eyes widened when she heard this, obviously unable to accept it.

"You can think of me as a member of the embassy, ​​accepting the commission from the church." Alison looked at Lelia and frowned, "This is a short-term mission."

"The empire is sponsoring the Grand Duke's rebellion. He is an enemy and cannot accept even a short mission!" Lelia turned away after hearing this. "We can learn their advanced knowledge here, but we must not sacrifice our lives for them!"

"How is this different from a traitor?" Lelia's eyes were filled with questions.

"Lelia, I know that you are a descendant of the previous dynasty and you really want to restore the country. This ideal is great, but you have to remember that this is your ideal."

Alison looked at Lelia and sighed, "Under the rule of the Thorn Flower Dynasty, I was just a serf who was worse than a horse. Do you think I would sacrifice my life for your well-fed life? Why?"

Lelia was slightly startled when she heard this. She thought that Alison was also a nobleman from the old dynasty, but it turned out to be a serf.

But she was still capable of moral kidnapping. She lowered her head silently and sobbed, "I didn't expect you to be so selfish."

"Are you selfish? You really have no right to say anything to me. According to your family's enfeoffment system, I am not your vassal."

"But you are still a citizen of Thorn Flower!"

"The Grand Duke is still the Archon of the Thorn Flower."

Alison looked at Lelia and shook her head, "Everything I did was done under the instruction of him and the church. There is nothing wrong with it. On the contrary, it is you, a brainless remnant of the past. If you rebel in the future, maybe I will still

Suppress you."

Lelia completely shrugged her shoulders after hearing this, and this time she completely cried. She raised her head and looked at Alison with tears in her eyes, "Since you support the Grand Duke, why did you agree to form an alliance with me before? You are teasing me. From the time you signed the alliance,

I know the fake name you signed it with."

"I don't support anyone. In fact, as long as the thorn flower is not too bad, it doesn't matter to me."

Alison shook her head slightly, "And I'm not playing tricks on you, it's just that you are completely different now than you were before. You have become an evil thief who only cares about rights and uses morality to kidnap me, and wants to continue to oppress the serfs."

Lelia was heartbroken when she heard this. She looked at Alison and cried bitterly, "What if the Grand Duke is worse than us?"

"I could consider replacing him," Alison said.

Lelia was stunned when she heard this, and then she shed her tears. She looked up at Alison and pouted her lips like a little girl who was persuaded, "Oh, okay, do you want to go back to the hotel?"

"Of course." Alison nodded, it was only one night anyway.

The two of them came out of the embassy and didn't speak all the way. The students who had been waiting impatiently got into the carriage and headed to the hotel arranged not far away.

After arriving at the hotel, the escorts also checked in. They ordered that they were not allowed to go out at night, closed the windows, and told them to send them to report the next morning.

The students naturally had no objections. They were very satisfied with the environment of the hotel. As for going out at night, they were not really stupid.

They had dinner in the hotel, and then returned to the room with their close friends. Alison and Lelia were assigned to a room. They had nothing to talk about. At night, Lelia went to sleep directly, and Allie

Sen stood in front of the window and looked out at the street through the crack in the window.

The place was filled with tiny particles that were like nothingness, and the distribution was not dense. When a group of night watchmen passed by, they could see that the thing had hit them, but they didn't see anything unusual about them.

This kind of dust-like thing takes a long time to infect people to make certain changes.

Of course, things are not absolute, such as some people who are mentally desperate themselves.

She stood there and observed all night, and found that some people escaped the patrol and ran to the street to actively be contaminated, and some people suddenly screamed without leaving the room.

The next morning, when Lelia got up, she found Alison still standing at the window. She couldn't help but frowned and said, "Do you hate me so much? You didn't sleep all night?"

"It has nothing to do with being annoying, I'm just observing the environment here."

Alison turned to look at Lelia, "Their judgment was wrong. Even during the day, the pollution still exists, but it is much smaller."

Lelia was stunned when she heard this, and finally sighed.

After breakfast, the students were sent out by carriage according to their respective colleges. Alison and Lelia rode in the same carriage because she was the only one going to the Knight Academy.

"I'll give you a piece of advice. If your purpose is too strong, it will lead to obsession, and obsession that cannot be suppressed will lead to corruption, especially in a place like the Empire."

Before Lelia got off the carriage, Alison looked at her and said, "You may feel that your life is not satisfactory now, but if you insist on changing it, or even fantasize about living as you imagined, the final result may be worse than

Now."

Lelia didn't speak when she heard this. She just nodded slightly to Alison when she got off the carriage.

The two parted ways, and the carriage took Alison to the central area of ​​the empire. It was a special period now, and all the recruitment was there.

"Recommended by the Kingdom and Creation Church, a graduate of Cadimos Magic Academy in Class 379, your name is Alison?"

The examiner of the Fourth Bureau was slightly startled when he saw Alison's badge and certificate.

"My name is Ali now, because the protagonists of various popular books here are named Alison, which will bring me trouble." Alison said seriously.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about this. After the fall of the moon, the empire confiscated various banned books, because reading such exciting books will make people become followers of Slaanesh."

The censor shrugged, "They see themselves as theoretical masters and pioneer practitioners of emotion, thought, art, literature, pleasure, and pain."

"That's really shameless." Alison nodded, "I'd better call her Ally to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"That's right, even if it has nothing to do with books, having a relationship with the Earl of Thorn Flower will bring disaster." The prosecutor looked at the diploma and his pupils narrowed, "Stop the Rebellion Cross, are you sure it was you who did this?

?”

"It was written by the instructor. He might be trying to flatter me because I'm from there." Alison shook her head in denial.

"Well, it's the style of the magic academy. They always like to write down a trial experience that is good or bad to increase the employment rate of students."

"Hahaha~ It is indeed an inferior academy that cannot recruit students."

The examiner covered up the surprise on his face, laughed, and then looked at Alison, "Since you are a junior magician, what do you think about joining the Investigation Bureau as an E-class investigator?"

"My strength has improved after graduation. I am now a senior magician, and may even be a great magician." Alison shook her head, "I want to join the Special Affairs Bureau and be responsible for special events in the city."

"Sorry, we have to distribute them according to the strength on your certificate." The prosecutor's face straightened when he heard this, "You are the flowers of the empire. Even if you are wild flowers, you cannot fall easily."

"I also have some powerful cursed objects, which can prove my strength." Alison was a little unhappy when she heard this, "I will not perish."

"No, verifying cursed objects requires you to go to the Confinement Bureau for testing after you join the job. For now, you can only enter the Investigation Bureau." The prosecutor's face also showed displeasure, "If you don't want to, you can leave here.

."

"Then can I join the security bureau?" Alison said helplessly after hearing this.

"Only those who have certain experience and qualifications in the Investigation Bureau can enter the Special Affairs Bureau and the Security Bureau." The prosecutor shook his head, "And the Internment Bureau can only be entered by those who have retired from the Special Affairs Bureau."

"I thought the empire was very enlightened." Alison frowned upon hearing this.

"Then why don't you go back and think about it again?" the prosecutor asked, with an obvious intention to refuse.

"No need, let's just go to the Investigation Bureau." Alison shook her head. I don't believe they can control me no matter where they don't kill people.

The prosecutor obviously didn't want to accept people from this kingdom, but this was the Hall of the Fourth Bureau, and his will could not represent everything. Seeing that Alison had quickly filled out the forms and filed the records, the prosecutor personally asked someone to take her for a physical examination.

"After doing all this, you can report to the Bureau of Investigation headquarters tomorrow." The prosecutor ordered Alison, and looked at her leaving back with a gloomy face.

Alison came out of the lobby of the Fourth Bureau and followed the guide into the backyard of the hall. When passing by a courtyard, she saw five or six professionals standing there, waiting to debug the equipment. Among the staff members, Alison was still there.

know.

"Martha? Why are you here?" Alison greeted the ponytailed staff member.

However, Martha heard the call but did not look back, and was still operating the instrument there.

"Why are you still standing there? I'll wait for you." An armored warrior carrying a sword in the distance greeted Alison.

Alison was stunned when she heard this. She didn't recognize this man. But before she could ask where we had met, the next second she was pushed over by the guide and had a wire tied to her body.

"What are you doing?" Alison noticed something was wrong and asked.

"It's okay, I'm just checking to see if you are secret workers. After all, you have to work in Bureau 4." The man who sent Alison here wanted to search her body after tying her up, but Alison knocked her unconscious with a headbutt.

"Wow~" Seeing Allison's resistance, a group of inspectors immediately raised their guns, and the bearded leader yelled, "You want to rebel?!"

"Can't you search for a woman?" Alison said angrily.

"Look at how there are no women around at this time."

The bearded official in charge of the inspection frowned when he heard this and motioned to his subordinates to put down their guns. Then he wondered, "How about I do it myself? I'm the captain."

Alison didn't pay any attention to his words. She looked at the operation side and said, "There is a woman there, let her come!"

The corner of the bearded man's mouth twitched, and then he walked to Martha and told her the situation.

Martha stood up expressionlessly, walked to Alison, searched her body up and down with her hands, and inserted her hand into her collar, which made Alison stunned.

Martha remained expressionless throughout the whole process, until she touched Alison's shoes and said, "This is a cursed object, take it off."

After hearing this, Alison honestly took off her silver shoes and stood barefoot on the ground. Then she saw the bearded man take out a small notebook, looked at it and read,

"Today we reviewed four new members, including seven detailed reviewers: Great Swordsman El, Steel Puppet Master Weiss, Grand Scene Magician Alfonso Ma, Wind Arrow Master Dines, and Great Swordsman Du

Plus, Earth Knight Erte and Magician Ellie!”

"The detailed review is to better serve the Fourth Bureau and prevent the entry of secret workers. For this reason, there will be some side effects during the test, such as dizziness, nausea, incontinence, and coking. You have already signed the consent form, and there is no need to witness it.

Execute immediately!”
