024 Mutual calculation

"This time I entered through an underground corridor at No. 17, Baishi District..."

"At the meeting, two major events that have happened recently in Dongting City were shared..."

"An important research project of the Bright Arcane School has entered a critical stage, and it intends to recruit arcanists to join..."



It was still that dark room, the light of the phlogiston lamp was flickering, and the atmosphere seemed gloomy and depressing.

The blond man with stubble in a leather jacket and tight leather trousers held a cigar between his fingers and took a puff from time to time, without seeming to have any intention of speaking.

Reva Kanter was sitting next to her, with her legs crossed, her left hand supporting the side of her face, and her right fingers gently tapping the armrest of the sofa.

"You exchanged two magic circle blueprints and two grams of etching agent, plus the quartz sand you exchanged last time. Do you plan to burn the arcane magic circle?"

After saying that, Reva Kanter turned around and changed his sitting position, waiting for Jiang Xilin's explanation.

"Yes, I have an idea to save money, which is to embed and combine the basic arcane energy array and the flame array to create an arcane energy stove that does not consume phlogiston."

"Heh, you do have an idea."

The speaker was the blond bearded man in a leather jacket. He was intrigued by Jiangxi Lin's wild ideas, so he shook the ash from his cigar and sighed as if pointing out,

"It's good to have talent and brains, but you have to put them in the right place."

Jiang Xilin's brows jumped sharply at the sudden half-admonishment, half-warning tone.

This can't help but make him wonder if he has exposed a flaw somewhere and discovered something? Or is he simply deceiving himself and putting more pressure on himself?

We must not lose our composure, hold firm, and show the same composure as when we faced the audit team and the Disciplinary Inspection Commission.

"I don't quite understand what this gentleman means?"

"Don't you understand?"

The blond bearded man in a leather jacket put out his cigarette butt, clapped his hands, stood up and walked behind Jiang Xilin.

Immediately, Jiang Xilin felt a cold metal pipe pressed against the back of his head.

He was startled, and the word "musket" suddenly appeared in his mind.

Stay still, don't panic.

Jiangxi Lin suppressed his heartbeat and breathing to prevent them from being messy. The fingers of his hands holding the armrests of the seat turned pale from the excessive force.

"Do you understand now?"

Behind him, a blond man with a stubble in a leather jacket asked coldly.

The old god Reva Kanter was sitting aside and said nothing.

"not understand."

Jiangxi Lin's voice was smooth and smooth, without even a slight tremor.

Click——

The crisp sound of a bullet being loaded sounded.

"What now?"

"not understand."

The blond bearded man in the leather jacket has his finger on the trigger,

"You have one last chance."

Jiang Xilin closed his eyes, so this is how the new student picked up by accident explained it?

What went wrong?

Are your daily personality, words and deeds too different from those of the poor and homeless people in this world?

My talent in arcane arts is too good, are you afraid that I will seek revenge after becoming stronger?

No, it's very wrong. These should not be the reasons for them to kill me. On the contrary, these should be the reasons for them to reuse me.

So, what exactly is the problem?

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Jiang Xilin's mind. Could it be that he responded to the recruitment of the Bright Arcane School?

Jiang Xilin pursed his lips, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

From the last time Reva Kanter was able to give some details of the process at the secret meeting, Jiang Xilin speculated that he was not the only one behind the Kingdom's Night Knights.

If Anzi wants to live a long life, he has two ways. One is to show his value in obtaining intelligence, and the other is to... eliminate dissidents and find ways to get rid of other "competitors."

If he were to put himself in another person's shoes, he could have taken an excerpt out of context and reported Jiang Xilin's proactive response to the recruitment of the Light Arcane School at the rally.

This not only shows his ability to obtain intelligence, but also easily eliminates a suspected competitor's secret agent.

To put it bluntly, even if the other party is not a hidden person, there is no loss to you.

Oops, dirty, really dirty.

Jiang Xilin felt a little angry.

However, the most important thing now is to get through the current difficulties.

He suppressed the unnecessary emotions in his heart, and when the blond man in the leather jacket had already pulled the trigger halfway, he spoke,

"I don't know what you want me to understand. If I responded to the recruitment of the Light Arcana School at the rally, I don't think I did anything wrong."

"You want to join the School of Light and Arcana to get rid of our control."

"I wouldn't have such a stupid idea."

Jiang Xilin shook his head gently,

"How can an organization that can only hide in the sewers compete with the state's law enforcement machinery?"

"State law enforcement apparatus?"

The blond bearded man in the leather jacket released the trigger,

"We are indeed the state's law enforcement apparatus."

He seemed satisfied with Jiang Xilin's reference to the Kingdom's Night Knights as a national law enforcement machine.

"Then why did you respond to the solicitation of the Light Arcane School?"

This sentence was asked by Reva Kanter, who was sitting next to him and had been eating melon.

"Because you said last time that you hope I can integrate into as many of their circles as possible, and even penetrate into the Light Arcane School."

"Did I say that?"

Reva Kanter showed a confused face and looked at the man in the leather jacket behind Jiang Xilin.

The man in the leather jacket spreads his gun hand.

Jiangxi Lin: Damn it, this person is so shameless!

"Well, I didn't agree to them directly anyway. If you don't want me to break into them and find out the important research project they are conducting, I will just refuse it at the next meeting."

Jiangxi Lin carefully considered the language and used some rhetoric to highlight the two messages of "infiltrating the inside" and "important research".

After all, in his heart he still hopes to break into the "shoe" sect.

It was not all for arcane knowledge, but mainly because I wanted to take the opportunity to secretly plan and plan, and give the Kingdom of Night Knights a fatal blow when they decided to wipe out the Light Arcane School.

Sure enough, both of them fell into silence after hearing this.

Jiangxi Lin is difficult to control, and both of them feel this way, so Reva Kanter and the man in the leather jacket sang a double act, trying to beat Jiang Xilin.

But the effect seems not obvious.

"This guy..."

Reva Kanter felt a little depressed.

I exchanged glances with the man in the leather jacket behind Jiang Xilin,

"You should go back first. Captain Durant and I will have to discuss your infiltration into the Light Arcane School."

Is this blond bearded guy wearing a leather jacket and pants called Durant? He's also the captain.

"OK."

Jiang Xilin nodded, stood up neatly and walked to the door.

Opening the door, the light outside was a bit dazzling, the cold wind blew on my body, and my sweat-soaked vest was bone-chilling.

Bang--

Jiang Xilin closed the door with his backhand.

The room once again fell into a dim environment with only weak phlogiston lights flickering.

"What do you think?"

Reva Kanter suddenly spoke, and the sound of discussion rang out in the room again.

"He is not someone we can control for a long time. Also, do you know why the higher-ups have not wiped out the Light Arcana School?"

"Because they are more self-disciplined?"

"No, because the higher-ups also want to know what their important research projects are?"

This answer was beyond Reva Kanter's expectation.

If this is what the above means, then...

"Let him join the School of Light and Arcana."

Durant, the man in the leather jacket, took out a box of cigars from his arms, took out one and put it in his mouth, lit it, took a puff, exhaled the smoke and continued,

"When he finds out the specific content of that important research project, he will be treated as a heretic of the Light Arcane School and eliminated without leaving any further trouble."
