Chapter 274: Back to the old business
Finally, Ronald felt like his most tense moment of the day had come.
Although he now has a large amount of money in his hands, when it comes to the most important knowledge aspects of the mysterious side, he is inevitably a little weak-hearted.
After all, it's this type of requirement.
After today, you won't be able to pay next month's rent, right?
Just as Ronald controlled his expression and kept his nervousness from showing, the old man spoke.
With a friendly smile on his face, he looked at Ronald in front of him and took the initiative to say:
"Mr. Ronald, I guess you know that our [Book Society] is an organization loyal to Her Majesty, so I won't sell it."
"It's very easy for you to get knowledge."
"Just join us."
"[Book Studies] can help you gain knowledge, and it can also help you gain benefits."
However, when he said this, the old man's tone suddenly changed:
"Of course, if you don't want to join us, then this cooperation is not possible."
"You can leave."
The old man's face was indifferent, and when he stated the matter, his attitude was very firm and could hardly be refused.
Listening to the old man's explanation, Ronald showed an expression of understanding on his face, and then nodded calmly.
This is his purpose today, and naturally there is no reason to refuse.
Although he knew that this might cause some trouble, Ronald had to admit that the historical records collected by the official forces definitely had this value.
Thinking of this, Ronald took a closer look at the old man in front of him.
This is an old man who is completely unaware of the aura of magic.
But instinctively, Ronald felt an inexplicable sense of mystery from him, and it was no surprise that he was also a strong man.
This is the Scroll Study Society that serves the Queen......
At the same time, seeing Ronald's reaction, the old man was naturally very happy.
This is a canon holder!
For their organization, the addition of a person with a canon holder is definitely very good news. A person with knowledge and experience, as long as they communicate well, can take their research to the next level.
Gleefully, the old man got up from his chair:
"Good."
"You are very welcome to join the [Book Research Society]."
"Mr. Ronald, you can rest assured."
"We will definitely try to accommodate any of your requests."
Seeing Ronald listening to his explanation noncommittally, the old man immediately took out a card and handed it over:
"This is our ID, and we can inject our own magic to complete the verification."
"In the future, as long as you hold this, you will be able to prove that you are a member of the [Book Research Society], and I am sure you will be able to use it."
Ronald nodded in agreement and took the card.
A black card the size of a bank card, with only some decorative stripes on it, and no information can be seen.
According to the old man, Ronald tried to inject the magic of the "Divine Comedy" into it, and a back figure wearing a red dress immediately appeared on the black card.
"Okay, the validation was very successful."
Seeing this scene, the old man immediately nodded happily:
"But in that case, it's time for us to talk in a different place."
As he spoke, the old man slapped his palms, and the bookshelves in the room immediately opened a passage to the ground.
"Mr. Ronald, come with me."
"By the way, I'm Oppenheim Shelley, and you can call me Old Shelley."
As he spoke, Oppenheim had already entered the passage first.
Ronald followed him in, stepping into the passage as well.
The passage is very quiet, lit by long luminous objects of unknown material on both sides, and the entire passage extends very visibly downward.
The mysterious side of the man.
I really like to drill into the ground......
With this in mind, Ronald followed the old man towards the depths of the passage.
The length of the passage is actually not too far.
After a while, Ronald saw a bright light appear in front of him.
Immediately after, a passage of stone steps descending appeared in front of him. It's not very spacious, but it's very flat and stable.
"This is our place, I'm a book researcher, and you're a researcher with your ID. You should know that the books in our lab are classified, so don't leak them. ”
Ronald nodded in understanding:
"I see."
Walking down the stone steps and looking around, the space hidden under the library has been excavated quite generously, and there are columns around it to maintain the stability of the space.
Around the stone spiral staircase, six deep passages are excavated in different directions, and the space itself is also equipped with a large number of bookcases, and on both sides of almost every passage entrance, there are a large number of books and materials.
At the same time, Oppenheim's explanation continues:
"This is our research institute, all the books and materials in it are in our custody, and the six channels correspond to the information collected by the six continents on this planet."
"You can flip through it here, just don't break the books and materials inside."
After saying this, the old man took the lead and walked towards one of the tunnels:
"Let's go, let's go sign a contract."
"It's a way to make sure we can have a good time working together in the future."
So the two of them continued deeper, following a tunnel that stretched through the underground space, and entered one of the offices.
Walking into the room with Ronald, the old man expertly pulled out a contract from his office.
Although the white paper is not large, it is full of lingering magic.
Obvious.
It's a contract with magical powers.
The old man first took the initiative to write his name on the contract, and then handed it to Ronald.
"Let's take a look."
“……”
Taking the contract, Ronald looked at it carefully.
The contract is written about the agreement of knowledge and wealth, and the content of the terms above is simple and straightforward, and there is no such thing as a hidden contract trap.
After reading it, Ronald placed the contract on the table.
Watching Ronald's movements, the old man asked:
"How do you feel after reading it?"
Ronald nodded, a satisfied smile on his face.
He didn't speak, but simply reached out and scratched the contract in the same way he had learned it in the Investigation Bureau. The magic leaves its mark on the paper, and the contract is done.
Oppenheim got up again and pulled out another ......
No, it should be said that it is a thick stack of contracts.
Placing it in front of Ronald with a bang, he said with a very pleasant look in his eyes:
"Come on, Mr. Ronald."
"Sign this too."
"This is the work contract of the [University of Vess] librarian, and it is necessary to disguise his identity and facilitate his activities."
“……”
See this thick stack of work contracts.
Ronald's face froze.
