The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 96 Public Security Department

Half a year has passed, and now Cuilin City has almost doubled in size compared to before.

The east side is closest to the outside world, and with the influx of outside populations such as caravans, it has become the area with the largest number of wizards in Cuilin City.

The west and south sides, as they are deeper into the Green Shadow Forest, have attracted a large number of wizards who come there to hunt, and have also become prosperous.

As for the north side of Cuilin City, which was originally the most prosperous, it still remains prosperous today.

This place is closest to the magic energy veins and is the preferred settlement for wizards with some assets.

Because of this, there are the most trading markets and shops here in Cuilin City.

Because of such changes, Cuilin City was gradually divided into four major regions: east, west, south and north.

The divisions into stone house areas, wooden house areas, and shanty areas are now a thing of the past.

……

In the carriage, Lin En, who was going to report to the Public Security Bureau, was silently reading the information about the Public Security Bureau.

'In order to better manage Cuilin, the Huosen School established five security offices in the four major regions of east, west, south and north.

'Because the East District has the largest area and the largest number of wizards, two security offices were set up, one in the Upper East District and the other in the Lower East District.

'The remaining three security offices are located in the north, south and southwest regions respectively.

"And the police station I was assigned to this time is the North District Police Station."

The highest manager of the entire security department is the second-level wizard Anderson. Below him are the highest managers of each division, that is, 5 wizards whose strength is at least mid-first level.

Among them, four are from the school, and one is a late-stage first-level wizard recruited by the Horsens School during this period.

'The good news is that this foreign wizard is located in the East District Security Office, and the manager of the North District Security Office where I am located is the wizard Dennis from the school.

"But the bad news is... the school may have recruited more foreign wizards than expected. After all, even the crucial public security department has a foreign wizard as the manager."

Lin En put away the information and pondered in secret.

The Horsens School was clearly short of first-level wizards.

Similarly, the number of wizard apprentices is not optimistic.

"It seems that there are already many foreign wizard apprentices in the Public Security Department."

Lynn sighed slightly.

He actually didn't know what Wizard Horsens was thinking.

He simply acted based on his own feelings and preferred to stay with the school members.

The carriage slowly stopped and we arrived at the North District Security Office.

Lynn got off the carriage, his expression having returned to normal.

Although he spent a relatively comfortable few months at the Horsens School, he never imagined how beautiful this world was.

However, Lynn is not afraid of these.

The environment he was in when he first traveled through time was much more complicated than the Public Security Department.

Following the instructions, Lynn came to the reporting office.

On the door of the office was a sign reading "North District Security Department's 11th Squad".

This was the security team he and Leah were assigned to.

The main purpose of coming here today is to receive the security team uniforms and to be assigned the areas of responsibility in the future.

Lin En didn't arrive early, and by then most of the apprentices in the office had already arrived.

Leah was standing in the corner. When she saw him come in, she greeted him with a smile.

Lynn smiled and nodded, coming to her side.

To be honest, Lynn was somewhat surprised that Leah chose a job in the Public Security Department.

After all, the young female apprentice's qualifications were not bad, so she had many jobs to choose from yesterday.

Most of them are actually easier than the work of the security team.

After a while, the 16 members of the th team finally arrived.

A first-class wizard apprentice walked in. He had a round face, was about thirty years old, and had a kind expression.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Wilson Code, the captain of the 11th Squad of the North District Security Department."

Lynn looked at this first-class wizard apprentice, trying to determine whether Wilson was a new foreign wizard apprentice recruited by the school or an original member of the school.

But unfortunately, everyone is now wearing the same Horsens School uniform, and it is impossible to tell them apart from the outside.

“I believe everyone already knows the purpose of my visit today, so I will make it short.

“As the newly formed 11th Squad, our responsibility is to jointly manage the law and order of the Vincennes neighborhood with the 6th Squad.

"The specific work is mainly daily patrol, which is divided into day shift and night shift. In the past two weeks, the sixth team is responsible for the night shift, and we are responsible for the day shift, which runs from 9 am to 9 pm.

“According to the rules, the Vincennes district is divided into four areas.

"There are a total of 16 second-class wizard apprentices in our th team. Next, I need you to form groups of two and line up in front of me again. I will distribute uniforms to you and assign the areas you will be responsible for in the future." Wilson said.

"Mr. Lin En, do we want a group?" asked Leah next to him.

"Of course." Lynn nodded.

He was just about to go forward with Leah to draw the area they would be responsible for in the future, but he saw a second-class apprentice who did not look for anyone to form a team with. Instead, he walked up to Wilson with a flattering look on his face, put one hand into his pocket, as if preparing to take something out.

But before the second-class apprentice could speak, he heard Wilson's serious face say:
“If you can’t find anyone to form a team with, please stand aside and wait for me to assign you a team.

"If you want to bribe me... then unless you don't want to stay in the security team, you'd better not have such an idea."

The second-class apprentice's hand froze as he reached into his pocket. His face turned pale and then pale. Finally, he said awkwardly:

"I just joined the school, and I don't know anyone to form a team with. I was just about to ask you what to do."

Wilson didn't comment, just nodded lightly.

Although they are all in the Vincennes district, the four different areas divided into them still have different levels.

The areas to the west are mostly residential areas, relatively quiet, and have few troubles in all aspects.

The east side is more busy and has several large trading markets, which are also more troublesome on a daily basis.

The north side is between the two, while the south side has more shops and is relatively quiet.

As the first ones to form a team, Lin En and his companions were the first to come to Wilson.

"Mr. Wilson, we have formed a team."

Wilson nodded, and after a moment's silence, he handed over the wizard robe and said:
"The area you are responsible for is the North District."

'That's a good result,' Lin En thought silently.

The North District is relatively quiet, and most importantly, it is closest to where he currently lives, which can save him some time on commuting.

After taking the standard robe of the security wizard from Wilson, the purpose of coming here today was basically achieved.

After that, we waited for another team responsible for the northern area to appear, and then discussed with them the patrol time periods they were responsible for.

During formal patrols, each day shift or night shift will be divided into two equal sections, each section will be managed by a team.

However, who is responsible for which section and whether there should be rotation is decided through negotiation between the two groups.

The two waited on the side, and soon another apprentice formed a group.

Wilson assigned the areas of responsibility one by one, seemingly randomly. At least Lynn couldn't see any pattern.

After a while, two younger male wizard apprentices came forward and waited for assignment.

They all look ordinary, nothing impressive.

If I had to say something, it would be that one of the male apprentices had hair which was a relatively rare gray-yellow color.

Wilson glanced at them, his gaze paused for a moment on the gray-haired male apprentice, and said:
"The area you are responsible for is the North District."

"Thank you, Mr. Wilson."

Lin En did not find this scene unusual. Until, after the group was dismissed, he accidentally saw Wilson talking to the two apprentices through the perspective of good luck.

"Lord Wilson, this is a gift for you."

The gray-haired wizard apprentice named Kaili, who had just discussed with him and Leah about their respective patrol times, was now smiling as he handed a wooden box to Wilson.

Another apprentice named Rivers was also there, with a flattering smile on his face.

Wilson also put away his serious look at this time, smiled, patted Kaili on the shoulder and said:
“You are much smarter than that idiot before… I will accept the things.

"Remember to work hard and don't waste your identity as a law enforcement wizard that you paid a great price for."

"We will, thank you Sir Wilson."

The conversation between the two consisted of just two simple sentences, which did not reveal much information.

But it seems that Kelly and Rivers bribed Wilson to get the identity of the law enforcement wizard...

This is not a big deal.

However, Lin En still remained alert to these people.

Kelly and Rivers are most likely wizard apprentices who were just recruited from outside.

As for the first-class apprentice named Wilson, although no one knew his background, he was not as upright as he appeared.

……

……

Vinson neighborhood, brownstone road.

“…Your normal patrol duties are simple. You only need to make sure you patrol the streets every half an hour. If you encounter a minor problem, handle it yourself. If there is a major problem, call for support immediately through your badge.

"The badge of the security team is engraved with a special communication array. When used in conjunction with the communication array built in the city, it can transmit messages over long distances."

Today is the day when the 11th team officially starts patrolling.

Wilson was walking them through the process.

The patrol work was not complicated. Wilson simply gave them a brief overview and told them to go to their respective work locations to officially start patrolling.

It is still early in the morning, so those teams that negotiated patrols during the afternoon hours can return now.

This also includes Kelly and Rivers, who are also responsible for patrolling the north area of ​​Vincent Street.

"Mr. Lin En, Ms. Leah, thank you for your hard work on patrol. We will be leaving first." The two said to them politely.

"It's not hard. This is the division of labor we agreed on." Leah answered seriously.

Kaili and the other man smiled, did not respond, and looked at Lin En again.

Lin En's face was calm. He just smiled and said slowly, "Have a nice time, both of you."

The transaction between Kelly, Rivers and Wilson was just a matter between them and it didn't affect him, so Lin En didn't care.

He is not a nosy person. In fact, he only cares about people close to him.

Kaili and the other man turned and left with smiles on their faces.

"Let's go, Lord Lin, we have to start patrolling seriously!" Leah turned her head and said with full energy.

"Yeah." Lynn nodded.

The two had just taken two steps when they heard a quarrel nearby.

Leah's eyes suddenly lit up and she walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

It was a shop selling witchcraft crystals, and a plump wizard apprentice was arguing with the boss.

"Sir...sir!"

But the next moment, the wizard apprentice saw them coming and immediately stopped arguing with his boss and greeted them respectfully.

There was still some anger on the young boss' face, but when he saw the security wizard coming, he temporarily suppressed his anger, forced a smile and greeted him.

"Good morning, my Lords, the two security wizards."

"What happened?" Leah asked.

But the young boss hesitated and shook his head:
"It's not a big deal."

The apprentice next to him also quickly responded and said:
"Yes, just some minor quarrel over the price of witchcraft crystals."

Leah frowned, not knowing how to deal with the situation.

Lin En took the initiative to step forward and said:

"Since there's nothing else to do, let's go, Leah, and continue our patrol."

Leah was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"They don't trust us, do they?"

While walking on the road, Leah suddenly said.

She is indeed kind, but that doesn't mean she is not smart.

"Yes." Lin En nodded. "From the looks of it, that witchcraft crystal shop is newly opened. The owner should have just moved to Cuilin City. He still needs time to build the trust of the school."

Leah nodded, and Lynn thought about it before continuing.

"But you don't have to worry about what they are hiding. I left Good Luck there. It has a crystal that can record voices. When Good Luck comes back later, we'll know what they are arguing about."

The sound-recording magic crystal was just a cover. Lin En could actually see what the two wizard apprentices were doing directly through the mental network.

They were indeed arguing over the witchcraft crystal... Well, it looked like the wizard apprentice was actively picking trouble with the boss over the quality of the witchcraft crystal.

Leah was visibly stunned when she heard Lin En's next words.

She had never expected that Lin En was so cautious and even had a backup plan.

"Sir Lin En...you must have gone through a lot before returning to the academy."

After a while, Leah sighed slightly.

Lynn just smiled calmly.

The quarrel in front of the other shop was coming to an end, and the shop owner finally cursed:
"There is absolutely no problem with the effect of this witchcraft crystal. I won't sell it to you. Get out of here now, or I'll call the security wizard over!"

Lynn was just about to call back his good luck when he suddenly saw several more apprentices walking behind the apprentice who was arguing with the boss.

The group stared at the boss with ferocious expressions.

"What do you want to do?" the boss shouted, obviously nervous.

“Don’t be nervous, boss, we’re not here to cause trouble.

"It's just that our brothers from the Solko Society bought inferior witchcraft crystals from you. You have to give us an explanation."

Seeing this, Lin En finally understood.

It was obvious that a gang was blackmailing the newly moved in boss.

'I didn't expect that in such a short time, another society would appear in Cuilin City...' Lin En thought silently.

On the other side, the boss finally understood the situation. His expression changed again and again, and finally he smiled and paid 20 times the money of the witchcraft crystal as the apprentice of the Solko Society said.

Lynn called back his good fortune, and was a little hesitant about what to do with it.

Strictly speaking, extortion cases like this are also under the jurisdiction of the security team.

But many things are not that simple.

If the boss resisted vigorously, there would be no need to say anything more. He would just take Leah with him to make the decision.

But now the boss no longer trusts them and has chosen to give in.

If you rashly meddle in other people's affairs, you will easily become unpopular with everyone.

Lynn considered for a moment and finally called back his good luck.

However, Lynn looked at Leah, hesitant about whether to tell her about this.
