Wells was not hungry in the first place, but now he had no appetite at all. He stared at the man in front of him and said, "Sir, it's useless for you to find me, I know very little. ”

The man shook his head, his contemplative face revealed, as if he was thinking about how to explain to Wells in front of him, "Wells, you seem to have made a mistake by now. I didn't come to you, or what you think 'boss' told me to come to you, because you know something, or because I wanted something out of your mouth. You know very little, and if you want to get some information, you can go directly to the top of the association much faster than you do. ”

"Again, I came here today and just wanted to talk to you. You regard me as an old friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, and today I suddenly found you, and I chatted here for a while, so that I can understand. ”

The man looked at Wells, his eyes asking if he understood. Wells nodded, pursing his mouth, although he didn't understand the man's intentions, but at the moment he could only do it.

"By the way, you can call me Hesley. The man spoke, "It's been almost a month since I came to the Principality of Anse, and I was supposed to leave for my next destination, but well, I stayed because of other things." After all, it's the little things that are often the most time-wasting. ”

"Hello Mr. Hesley. Wells remained polite, at least for now, with no hostility on the man.

"Let's start with the status quo, Mr. Wells. Hesley took a bite of food, "You're almost fifty years old this year, though you're definitely young among the surgeons. After investigating your relevant information, before you entered the association, you seem to be a person from the management department of a small force, responsible for the construction of the internal information database of the force. It is mainly for personnel information. Then you left the Powers and came to the Principality of Anthus. There was a gap of a year in between, but after that, you moved into the association and worked on what you are doing. Let's count on the management of personnel information, but it's more important than before. ”

Wells didn't speak, acquiescing to what Hesley said.

"Mr. Wells, you know that when I first read your profile, there were a few pieces of information that surprised me very much. Hesley had a look of disbelief on his face, as if something was impacting his cognition, "It stands to reason that you have worked in the association for nearly ten years, even if you are not promoted to a middle or senior level, but in terms of experience and resume, your salary should be increased, right?"

Wells himself was puzzled, he had thought he had been found because of something that surprised Hesley.

"One and a half million currency of the Far Sea Community a year. Wells spoke to himself, "In the association, as far as my position is concerned, I don't think it is less. Because the nature of the work is only information processing, I occasionally meet with customers. Just like I met you not long ago, Mr. Hesley. There is no danger, there is a lot of leisure time, and every year the association will also distribute a batch of potions to promote the growth of strength according to our personal situation. I think these things may be available in small forces, but in terms of identity and status, they probably have to be the core figures. There is no such medicine among the other small forces, and even if they have funds, they will not be able to find a way. ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it, Mr. Hesley, and let me say so. Because as far as my strength in the middle of the second stage is concerned, I don't have much experience, and I want to rely on a big force to eliminate some potential dangers, I think this is all right. ”

Hesley showed a "just say yes" expression, and didn't say anything more about it.

"Well, then, Mr. Wells, say something else. What do you think about what we're doing now? Or rather, you know that the real purpose of the association's existence is to screen. Can you tell us what you think?"

"I don't have an opinion, but I know too much and worry about myself. Wells replied, "The Society doesn't make any adjustments to me because of what I know, but makes me an observer because of it, right?" I think that's the way it should be." I don't know why I think like this, but when someone perceives something, the person concerned will always feel uncomfortable. In addition, let's just talk about the interior of the Duchy of Anse, in fact, five years ago, if I was not wrong, there would have been someone else doing the same thing as you. In the end, it was probably the victory of the association, because the association continued to operate as usual for five years after that. ”

"I'm not very sure what happens to those who are ultimately selected after a few years of scouting and screening. But the ones who were chosen must be the strongest of the mercenaries and bounty hunters, and I think they must have entered the organization of the guild, which is considered a high promotion, right?"

Hesley nodded like a recorder, "It's possible to ascend, but it's more likely not." ”

Seeing Wells' expression, Hesley continued his words, "As far as the information I have got, your association is a medium-sized and large-scale family in the Far Sea Common Country, and as for how long it took to send someone to establish such an organization, I didn't get any information. I don't know if you know the mode of operation of a family, Mr. Wells?"

"The family's mode of operation?"

"It seems that you don't know anymore. Hesley sighed and said, "In short, you just need to remember that unless you are particularly good, no matter what you do, no matter what you decide, you will always be related to the family as the first determining factor. A simple example would be to suppose two identical people, one who is a member of the family and the other who is an outsider. Now there is a position here, and both of them can be competent, but the final result is definitely that members of the family are given priority. Coupled with the lack of resources in small countries, I don't expect much from these so-called excellent candidates. They lack a lot more than some people in the family who have received a good education since childhood. Like in a small country, these good bounty hunters and mercenaries do a lot of great things because they don't require a lot of configuration. But having said that, these situations are limited to small countries, and these people form a team, and there is a high probability that they will become fragmented after a few rounds of attacks. ”

"If that's the case, wouldn't there be no point in the selection of associations?" Wells said, "and I think that since the association has been around for a long time, and has continued to do this kind of thing, it shows that there must be a reason for this model." ”

"Absolutely. The best of the bounty hunters and mercenaries are experienced in combat, or in dealing with combat, just like Mr. Wells is in handling personnel information. Once trained, they can quickly catch up with most of the members of the family. But the top 、、、," Hesley didn't speak, "in short, some of the gaps are indeed related to their own talent. In addition, the environment and education within the family have influenced its members for decades, and this influence is the most important place in my opinion. ”

Speaking of this, Hesley looked at the time, "It's almost, it's a conversation, and I just want to come over and confirm something." You have given the right answer. Let's talk about other things, you know we're sifting through these mercenaries and bounty hunters right now, and as I said, because a lot of things are too busy to plan for ourselves. So, in order to make the timing basically correspond to the plan, we need one, or a few people, to help us. ”

Looking at Wells, Hesley took out a handwritten list and handed it over, "To put it simply, there is a 'boss' who takes a fancy to you and wants to bring you in as one of our members. This list is considered a reward, I don't know if you know some of the things above. If you have any other questions, you can ask. There's still a lot of time. ”

Wells glanced at the list and smiled helplessly, "I don't know why you like me? I mean, this kind of work can be done very well by everyone." And in terms of my position, the Association has nearly twenty districts in the Principality of Anthus, which means that there are still twenty people like me. ”

"Luck. "I don't know why, but the few bounty hunters we want are in the precinct you manage." So after all kinds of things, I came to find you. Can you tell me why a few good people are in this area?"

"Mr. Wells, you must not underestimate the changes you have made in the past ten years. You don't notice it yourself, and that's because the change is latent and accumulating. We must have found you for our own reasons. You now need to consider whether to say yes or not to say yes. ”

"But before that, I think you can think about your situation. It's not a threat to me, and you know your current situation all too well. Also, there was a team of people who came to investigate because of the mission I entrusted you, I wonder if you know?"

"Master Holden's team?"

"I don't know his name. Hesley looked understanding, "It should be them." I didn't do anything to them, I guess it's a conflict between the people in your guild, and what you call Holden has become a victim. And you're supposed to be the one to wrap up shortly after. ”

"Or to put it another way, you know something, the upper echelons of the association must know. It's the fact that someone is picking things in their captivity. I didn't make it clear, probably because of the times, the nature of your association needs to make some changes. From the selection of personnel, it becomes a working base in a small country. Some of this involves changes in power and position, so it's normal for this kind of thing to happen, at least around me, and the fierce competition is often the ultimate end of life. ”
