Durin's Diary

Chapter 686 I'm in Charge

Joseph came to the north as an exchange student from the Austrian-Swiss joint military academy. To the public, he was an exchange student under the agreement signed between Duke Alessandro and Turin, and even had a diplomatic identity.

Privately, he joined the Northern Movement and acted openly through public channels. No matter which department it was, even if they knew he had problems, they would not touch him without sufficient evidence.

Moreover, Durin gave him the rank of lieutenant. Now, even if he really committed a crime, as long as it was not a serious crime, the Northern Kingdom could only expel him.

So almost no one paid attention to this rolling meat, let alone such a trivial matter as the young man handing his clothes to the laundry. No one would have thought that the person who would receive him would be the new secretary and political commissar of Northernism in Copenhagen.

Yes, political commissar, this new title within the organization is more like what a nanny should do. However, although Peck Nash prefers to be the leader of an action team, the organization has already accommodated him once, and he knows that he cannot let the organization accommodate him again.

So he reluctantly became the political commissar, and sincerely hoped that the young people trained by the organization could come earlier and take over the job, because Peck really didn't think he would be a good mother.

"By the way, young man, how is the Northern Kingdom Army Military Academy?" Austin next to Peck asked with a smile.

"They're still teaching old-fashioned tactics. I even saw the long battle line in my first-year tutorial. But considering the Northern Kingdom's greatest enemy is the Chaos followers in the Northern Despair, I have to admit that the battle line is still useful," Joseph replied seriously. "But the students from the Northern Territory also said that the long battle line is rarely used in the North anymore. Circular formations are more common. Duke Alessandro is using a new tactical system that consumes and divides Chaos. I heard he's already recaptured several towns."

"Yes, although we are irreconcilable with the Northern Kingdom, when it comes to the great enemy of Chaos, we still sincerely hope that the Northern Kingdom, especially the Alessandro family, can win." Austin said with great relief.

Moreover, the Alessandro family in the north was the regional secretary during the First Commune era. As long as this family did not do anything out of line, both the Northern Kingdom and the Northern Commune would recognize its existence - they just needed to change their flags.

After all, the Alessandro family had fought against Chaos in the North for hundreds of years, and neither the Northernists nor the King's coalition had ever attacked his family.

And the church even came forward to guarantee it.

The First Commune also issued orders to the Alessandro family, and even in the most dangerous moments, their legions did not move south.

In return, the Alessandro family was not liquidated by the coalition forces of the kingdoms after becoming the Duke - the entire Western Continent needed this family to hold the dangerous northern border. If you liquidate them, will you take over the responsibility yourself?

Therefore, the Alessandro family has an independent status in the Northern Kingdom. They do not help either side, but they will not be regarded as traitors by either side.

"If nothing happens, I'll leave first."

"Go ahead, and recommend your classmates here next time. But we have to change the meeting place. We'll meet at a different location. You know the second place, right?" Peck said as he put the note with Joseph's name on it into the pile of clothes.

"No problem." Joseph said and left.

"What a great young man, so motivated." Austin exclaimed with some envy.

"How old are you? You're just as young, my editor-in-chief." Peck sneered, "By the way, you don't have to tell us about your relationship issues. I trust your decision."

"No, I must tell you about this. I've even written a letter. My most loyal messenger will tell the two secretaries about my relationship with Julie of the Veldora family." Austin looked at his companions with a serious face.

"Whatever you want, but I think Secretary Sora and Secretary Ace will find you annoying." At this point, Peck took out a cigarette from his silver cigarette case. "By the way, you don't have a code name, do you?"

"How is that possible? I have matched the codes on the playing cards, and all the words are in cipher. The only thing left is to convert them into Chang Tang language. But this thing is really hard to learn." Austin said here, and glanced at his pocket watch: "I have to go. Julie asked me to pick her up at 5:30." "Go, enjoy your young life, my old friend." Peck said as he walked him to the door.

As usual, he stood by the door and no one opened it for him.

"Your habit is really weird. Where did you learn it from? I couldn't help but ask you today."

"When I was eleven, my first mentor was identified by Northern Kingdom agents after he opened a door for his mentor. He was eventually murdered at home, along with his two sons and a daughter." Speaking of this, Peck leaned against the wall and took a puff of his cigarette. "I don't want to harm you because of my opening the door this time. You know, I'm a registered employee in Northern Kingdom Building Two, but you're different."

"What happened next?" Austin's hand was already on the door handle.

"Later, I found the agents responsible for the assassination and killed them and their entire families." Peck fell into reminiscence. He looked at Austin and said, "I was an apprentice of the Special Operations Group, living in a pool of blood of friends and enemies alike. For a long time, we and they had become accustomed to the sight of death following us like a shadow."

Finally, the young man smiled and patted Austin on the back: "Go, my great lover."

Austin nodded and headed out to his destination.

Peck remained silent until the spring mechanism brought the door back into place.

He sighed, walked to the middle of the store, and tapped the floor with his feet, three long taps, two short taps, and three long taps. The clerk who had been in the basement lifted the lid and came out.

"Here you go. These are the clothes for today's guests. I've already made a note of them." Pointing to the notes on the counter, Peck said goodbye to the clerk and went into the basement.

Walking to the end of the basement and pushing open the secret door, Peck entered the old era sewers of Copenhagen.

After circling twice, Peck tapped the bumps on the wall and played a short passage in triple time.

Then the secret door opened.

Peck went in, changed out of his windbreaker, put on a waiter's outfit, and then pushed open the basement cover.

This is the storage room of Yongyuanting.

He pushed open the door, entered the corridor, then used the pillar to walk around a table and finally stood in front of the counter.

The young man who was reading the pocket book put it down and pointed to the box in the distance.

Peck nodded.

Then he took the dish and walked towards the box with it.
