Becoming a god by raising witches

But when Count Hagen saw that his daughter had been safely returned, still wearing the same gorgeous dress she had worn when she left, with no damage to her clothes and no injuries on her face, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"Thank God, my daughter is finally back."

Count Hagen touched the leaf pendant around his neck and prayed, then had someone invite Sieg and Locke inside.

Sitting on the opulent sofa in the Earl's mansion, Locke appeared somewhat reserved, while Sieg remained completely at ease.

"Take the young lady back to her room and go fetch Dr. Vitaly Zapata."

"Yes, Grandpa."

The maid helped Andy Hagen away, while another servant went to fetch Vitaly Zapata, a famous doctor in Kosork who specialized in treating various illnesses for wealthy women and was renowned in the area.

"Which magistrate's court are you from?"

Count Hagen, wearing a green hood, sat back in his seat at the head of the table, picked up a cup of red tea, and asked.

"Sixth Police Division"

Sieg said with a smile.

“Okay, I will personally write a letter of commendation to your Director, Rhine. You have done a very good job.”

Count Hagen gave the butler a look, and the butler walked up to Locke and Sieg and gave each of them a money bag.

It was filled with a bag of gold coins.

In Kosork, the Mik is the common currency, but throughout the southern continent, gold coins are the hard currency.

No country does not recognize gold coins.

According to the exchange rate, 1 gold coin is equal to 5 gold coins. This bag of gold coins contains at least 20 gold coins, which is equivalent to 100 gold coins.

This is a very generous reward.

She was even more generous than Lucy, the daughter of a grain tycoon.

Of course, this was because Locke and Sieg saved the life of Count Hagen's daughter.

Count Hagen believed that if the kidnappers succeeded, he would lose more than 40 gold coins.

Locke looked at Sieg, as if to ask if he could accept the money.

Sieg nodded slightly to him, indicating that he could.

“Your Excellency, these are our duties, we cannot take them.”

Sieg reluctantly stuffed the money bag into his pocket.

Locke followed suit and accepted the money, just like Sieg.

Count Hagen smiled with satisfaction. "In a few days I will be hosting a homecoming ball for my dear Andy. You must all attend, young gentlemen."

"Yes, it's our pleasure."

"It's an honor for us."

The two said with a smile.

After leaving the Earl's mansion, we boarded a carriage again and headed towards the Sixth Security Court.

"Can I really take this money myself?"

Locke felt that 100 gold coins were too much and felt a little guilty taking them.

"Hehe, of course not, but we can keep it as reserve funds for the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and we will give the person who hands it over a 10%-20% cut depending on the situation. Mrs. Freya is a generous woman, she will definitely let each of us get 2 gold coins."

Sieg winked and said.

Locke nodded, feeling slightly relieved. He didn't want to be fired because of the embezzlement issue.

Getting 10 gold coins is a good choice for him, since the rescue was mainly thanks to Chief Reines.

The two returned to the Bureau of Investigation and went directly to Mrs. Freya's office, where they handed over 40 gold coins. Each of them received a reward of 2 gold coins, and Mrs. Freya promised to prepare a valuable gift for each investigator for this year's Day of Life.

Then it was time to write the report.

Locke was not good at writing reports and wanted to ask Sig for help to see how Sig wrote them. However, he found that Sig's writing level was even worse than that of an elementary school student. He could only rack his brains, as if he had returned to the time when he was writing his graduation thesis in his previous life.

Two hours later, Locke finished writing his report, and Sieg submitted a nonsensical self-criticism.

"Locke, how about you buy me a drink?"

"It might have to be another day. I haven't been home all day, and I need to go back and check on things."

Locke said apologetically.

Sieg nodded. "Alright, looks like I'll have to go get a drink by myself."

"Locke, Sieg, the chief wants to see you in his office."

Angela skipped and hopped in front of the two, conveying the director's instructions...

Chapter 98, How Did She Come Back to Life?

Locke and Sieg arrived at Director Renis's office.

In Renis's office was Boyd, the only wizard in the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations, who gave Locke a dejected look.

Locke swallowed hard, suspecting that he and Sieg were about to get a good scolding from Renis.

Rene's amber eyes swept across their faces.

"Boyd, you can leave now."

"Okay, Director."

Boyd gave a slight bow and left Renis's office.

When she walked up to Locke, she gave him another dejected look, which made Locke even more uneasy.

"Don't be afraid. Usually, when Boyd makes this kind of expression, it means something good is going to happen."

Sieg whispered a reminder to the nervous Locke.

"Is that so? How did you figure that out?"

Locke looked at him questioningly.

Sieg said, "Don't be fooled by Boyd's perpetually gloomy face. In fact, every gloomy expression is different. When you see the left corner of his mouth lower than the right and his eyes filled with sadness, it means something good is about to happen. When you see the right corner of his mouth lower than the left and his eyes filled with embarrassment, it means something bad is about to happen. If the corners of his mouth are symmetrical, it means things are neither good nor bad."

Locke was surprised for a second, then silently noted down these characteristics.

"Sieg, have you finished writing your self-criticism?"

Renis's question interrupted their whispered conversation, and Sieg immediately lowered his head and said...

"It's finished."

"Well, the case at Galken Coffee Shop can be considered a joint effort between the two of you and me. This case will be settled with rewards according to the A-level mission. I will apply to the church to keep the strange object B03 in my possession, and Sieg will receive 30 merit points. As for Locke, this pipe will be your reward. Do you have any objections?"

Renis took out an exquisite pipe and handed it to Locke, her eyes revealing indifference.

Locke's Adam's apple bobbed, he swallowed, and felt a cool breeze brush against his neck.

Renis must have known that her home had been raided, which is why she gave him the pipe where the demon Rebecca had been living.

Sieg laughed and said, "I have no objection. I haven't seen so many merit awards in a long time. Locke, the Devil's Pipe, number C213, is the director's favorite. She's willing to give it to you. You should thank the director quickly."

"Thank you, Director."

Locke accepted the long, slender pipe made of pure gold.

"The devil's pipe has no other function than to allow devils to reside inside. The devils inside the pipe can be used by you. The more devils reside inside, the stronger the pipe becomes. It can hold up to three devils. There is one inside now, which you should be familiar with."

Renis gave Locke a meaningful look.

"Thank you, Director."

Locke could only bow his head and thank Renis again.

Fortunately, Rhaenys didn't pursue the matter further about Rebecca, but instead changed the subject.

"Lock performed very well in the cases of the kidnapping of Duke Hagen's daughter (Case No. 3512) and the loss of Princess Frida's dog (Case No. 3701). In addition, he previously cooperated with Sieg to complete an A-level mission to eliminate the witch Sheria. Considering all factors, he can be promoted to a permanent position ahead of schedule. Take your documents to Mrs. Freya's office and get the official seal."

Locke looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Sieg patted Locke on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"Locke, you're incredibly lucky. I've been with the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations for so long, and this is the first time I've seen an intern investigator become a full-fledged investigator in less than half a month. Don't let the director down."

"Thank you, Chief!"

Locke said loudly.

Renis smiled slightly. "Your performance was indeed better than the others. There's no need to thank me. Boyd also spoke highly of you."

“Boyd helped me a lot; he was an excellent teacher.”

Locke was outspoken.

Renis smiled. "Go ahead. You can leave after you complete the formalities for becoming a full-fledged employee."

Locke, carrying the devil's pipe, left the director's office with Sieg and went to Mrs. Freya's room on the first floor.

Mrs. Freya took out the Bureau of Investigation's official seal, stamped it on Locke's work ID, and said with a smile,
