The noise in the tavern did not affect Dears' thinking.

Coming from a slum background, he is very familiar with this environment, and it can even be said that he has long been accustomed to it. It's a very noisy environment for others, but it's a natural intelligence gathering point for him, although there is a lot of meaningless content, but there is also some more valuable gossip, and the only thing he needs to do is to organize the information he needs from these chaotic words.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this practice is only suitable for those relatively small villages and towns, after all, there are usually only one or two such local taverns, and the intelligence aspect will naturally be relatively concentrated. Usually if you want to find out the information you need in a city, you will definitely not choose to go to the tavern This stupid approach, after all, no matter how small a city is, at least there will be several taverns, and the channels for collecting intelligence will be scattered, unless a lot of manpower is invested, this practice is a pure waste of time.

It's just a waste of time for others, but not necessarily for Dears. If he hadn't had such a skill or two, he wouldn't have been able to become the head of the intelligence department of the Millennium Covenant Empire.

Sitting quietly at the bar, Diers didn't make much of a difference, he just ordered himself a relatively reasonably priced dinner and a glass of ale.

At this moment, he looked a bit like a downcast wanderer who had come from afar, trying to find a good opportunity here in Void City.

He didn't eat very quickly, but he was a little hurried, and he didn't seem to be much better than gobbling it up, at least he ate rudely, only taking a sip of ale when he choked, and then hammering his chest to swallow the food with difficulty. This meal. It took him less than two minutes to finish, and with half a glass of ale left, Diers licked his lips with some unfinished thinking, and touched his money bag with his right hand, his eyes showing a bit of loss and frustration.

However, his eyes soon returned to calm, and he looked like he was full of hope for life again. When the tavern owner walked up to him and began to clean up the plates, Diers took a sip of the ale glass, looking like he was drinking to strengthen his courage, before asking, "Boss." Do you still have people here? ”

"Recruitment?" The tavern owner was stunned for a moment, and he glanced at the young man in front of him with an expectant look in his eyes.

This is a young man who is still full of energy, and when he brought him food, the boss noticed that the young man had left the dusty old cloak at his feet, this small detail was not very inconspicuous, but it was a very clear message to the tavern owner who had to deal with countless adventurers and merchants every day: this was a young man who was a little educated but very down-and-out.

And such a young man. If you weren't really desperate and hungry, you wouldn't have gobbled up your own dinner like you did just now. Of course, you don't have the courage to ask about work after drinking a big sip of ale. No matter how you look at it. This is a young man who has just stepped into society and is still very shy, maybe something happened at home that made this young man have to try his luck in Void City.

Today, the people of the nearby territories are well aware that the Void City of Panda is a new city, which has only just been built and is still in the blank reclamation period. If you can seize this opportunity to gain a firm foothold here in Void City, you probably don't need to worry too much about your future life. It is precisely because of this that many people come to Void City every day today, and these people are wanderers. There are also people who are not happy with their lives in other territories, and there are even some bankrupt merchants or down-and-out people.

Although because of the arrival of these people, Void City no longer needs to worry about the population, but the employment rate, which has been saturated in a short period of time, has also begun to breed some crime problems. Fortunately, with the return of Archon Neil, the security of Void City is now much better, at least after sending multiple patrols and directly executing some criminals, now Void City has begun to return to its former tranquility and peace.

The tavern owner was quite optimistic about the somewhat educated young man in front of him, after all, if Void City continued to prosper, of course, it would be of great benefit to him. Unfortunately, he had just recruited a man who seemed to be more capable, which was already at full capacity for his tavern, so although he felt some sympathy for the young man, he shook his head and refused: "Young man, you are one step late." ”

Sure enough, as soon as the tavernkeeper's words fell, Diers cooperated with a look of disappointment and loss.

In fact, as the head of the intelligence department of the Millennium Covenant Empire, when he entered the tavern, he had already noticed a piece of notice paper that had been torn off the door of the tavern.

Judging from the traces that still remained on the wall, Dears easily judged that this paper must have been a notice paper recruiting employees before, and judging from the ash marks displayed after the paper was torn off and the sticky marks on the back of the residual paper, this paper should have been torn off less than two days after it was pasted. And there was no new covering on the paper, all of which indicated that the tavern was fully staffed, so it was certainly impossible for Dears to come here for questioning.

But for this long-known result, Diers still showed a look of disappointment, just for his next move: "That...... Can you give me a little bit of information? I...... I really need a job right now. ”

As he said this, Dils took off his money bag, gritted his teeth with determination, and poured out all the money in the money bag.

Three silver coins and twenty-one copper coins.

The tavernkeeper glanced at it, and there was already a hint of sympathy in his eyes. This amount of money alone is only enough for this young man to spend four or five days in Void City at most, and then if he can't find a job, he will probably really become a beggar. However, the tavernkeeper's real sympathy was not this, he was now really sure that the young man in front of him was an inexperienced rookie.

"Hey, looking for a job?" A big man who looked a little burly next to him walked over with a big grin, "I can introduce you to a job." ”

"Dür." The tavernkeeper's brow furrowed slightly, but he was glared at by the big man named Dür. He could only shut up.

Diers noticed this move very keenly, and then his face showed a little panic, and he hurriedly swept the money into the money bag, and a smile on his face was more ugly than crying: "Thank you...... Thank you for your kindness, I ......"

But Dils' right hand was quickly grabbed by Dürr, who then snatched his money bag.

Dils' face changed drastically, and he tried to retrieve his money bag, but he was pushed down by Dur at the bar, and the two big men sitting with Dur also stood up. The trio quickly surrounded Dears, although the trio didn't make a move. However, the invisibly formed deterrent force was enough to make many timid people retreat, and the tavern was quiet for a while at this time, but after seeing that the troublemaker was Dürr, the tavern soon resumed its previous noise.

As for the little episode that happened at the bar, they had forgotten it all.

"Dürr. If you want to continue drinking here in the future, stop it. The tavern owner did have a good impression of the young man. And if Dürr is allowed to make trouble here. It also had some effect on his tavern, so he immediately spoke, "If you don't leave, I'll go find the patrol captain." ”

Durr glanced at the tavern viciously, then turned away with a cold snort, but before leaving, he still gave Diers a hard elbow blow: "Stingy." You're in luck. ”

Being punched by Dur like this, Dils's face turned pale, but he only dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, looking at the money bag that he had been robbed of by Dur. He was so anxious that he almost cried. But in the end, he could only watch Dur and his two companions leave haughtily, and he didn't have the courage to catch up.

"Ugh." After a long time, the tavern owner sighed slightly, "That guy is Goldie's subordinate, a well-known villain in this neighborhood. While they will be punished for their actions if you go to the Patrol Guards, Goldie will come to you for trouble, unless you don't want to stay in Void City any longer. ”

Diers pursed his lips and didn't reply, his expression still a little sluggish.

"In this case, you go to the south of the city to find Rodo, and say that I introduced you, and if you are lucky, you may be able to find a job." The tavern looked at Dils, and finally felt compassion, "Rhodo is a well-known meat supplier in Void City, and it is said that even the food of the Lord's Mansion is purchased from him. I've heard before that he's in need of someone with a bit of culture, probably to deal with people from the Lord's Mansion. …… But whether you can win the job from Rhodo or not is up to you. ”

Hearing the tavernkeeper's words, Dils' eyes showed a look of excitement and joy.

This time, he wasn't pretending.

Originally, he just wanted to use the condition of the tavernkeeper's job introduction to get himself a legal identity, so that of course there was a great guarantee for him to carry out underground activities in Void City in the future. Because after entering the tavern, through the short time he had just eaten, he captured a key piece of information: now the Void City is mixed, although the increase in patrol guards has improved the security situation, but in fact, the Void City is still in a relatively chaotic and complicated situation, so once there is something out of the ordinary, it will naturally be noticed quickly.

Judging from this intelligence, Diers probably knew that his subordinates would miss out: in such a chaotic situation, coupled with the fact that the counter-espionage work in Void City was also very cautious - just in this tavern, Diers found two people who might be conducting counter-espionage work, judging from this point, Diers has every reason to believe that the tavern located near the four city gates must be monitored by the intelligence department belonging to Pan Daling, and at this time, he is a little careless, It will be targeted immediately, and with the current tension between Panda Ling and the Dabiang Kingdom, if it is replaced by Diers in charge of intelligence work, it will definitely be a mistake.

So it can only be said that Dils' subordinates are not unskilled, but are completely regarded as a sacrifice.

And espionage investigation work is never something that can be completed in a short period of time, so Diers urgently needs a new identity.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that his luck was indeed a little too good, and he was able to connect with the food supplier of the Lord's Mansion from the tavern owner, which would be a lot easier for his next espionage work. Because, the purpose of his coming to Void City was only to investigate who had the phoenix bloodline, and judging from the known intelligence clues, Diers had actually locked on three people: Rena, Sheena, and Cecilia.

But because he lacked enough intelligence to establish data analysis, he couldn't be sure.

However, if he could get close to the Lord's Palace, then he believed that his work would be over soon.

While thinking so, after thanking the tavern owner, Diers couldn't wait to leave the tavern, and all his behavior was very normal, not attracting the attention of the two people in the tavern who were also engaged in intelligence investigation.

On that point alone, it is true to have to say that Dears is an expert in this area, because the two sides are not at the same level at all. (To be continued......)
