Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

Lin Nuo looked at Klein with some disappointment.

"I had some urgent matters at the time and was unable to attend those two interviews. Fortunately, my current job is also very good. It is enough for me to pay the rent of 12 soli on Narcissus Street and my sister's tuition."

"What about you? What kind of job are you doing after graduation? An employee of a large company? Or a personal consultant to a congressman?"

Klein naturally wouldn't say that he didn't dare to attend the interviews at two famous universities because of his incomplete memories after traveling through time.

"Oh, Klein, I did interview with several large shipping companies, but they said that due to the situation in the southern continent and the rampant pirates on the violent sea, the company's profits and business have shrunk significantly..."

"In short, they rejected my request for a salary of 5 pounds per week without hesitation, and pointed to the people waiting in line for interviews behind me and told me that their lowest salary requirement was only 1 pound per week, which made me, a young man who graduated from a prestigious university, have some self-awareness and not be too ambitious!"

Lin Nuo complained to Klein with a somewhat indignant look on his face.

Although he went to those shipping companies for interviews just to cover up his entry and exit to the dock area, the arrogant attitude of those personnel still made Lin Nuo angry.

"The economy is really bad right now. My brother Benson also works in an import and export trading company. Their company recently laid off nearly one-third of its employees. In order to keep his job, Benson was busy every day..."

Klein also sighed. Benson was the type of person that the HR staff described as someone who would rush to work overtime even if he was paid £1 a week.

Before Klein graduated and found a job, the entire family's pressure fell on Benson's shoulders. If Benson lost his job, his and Melissa's studies would definitely be interrupted.

At this moment, the two graduates looked at each other, and they all put aside the little worries in their hearts and sighed heavily.

At this moment, a sentence emerged in the minds of the two time travelers almost at the same time.

It’s up to you whether you want to do it or not. If you don’t want to do it, just get out. There are plenty of people who are eager to do it!

Chapter 26: Digesting the Diviner's Potion

"I plan to go to the factory area and try my luck to find a job..."

"This is not a compromise. I just want to infiltrate the enemy first to learn advanced management experience, and then find a way to start my own company."

After Lin Nuo and Klein each reminisced about their youthful days that had passed, he smiled at Klein again.

"What about you? You seem to have found a good job?"

"I work for Blackthorn Security Company. Although this job is a bit dangerous, the weekly salary after becoming a regular employee is 4.5 pounds!"

Infiltrating the enemy? Is that why you came to my house?

Klein raised his eyebrows, but he didn't show any strangeness. Instead, he smiled reservedly at Lin Nuo, picked up the teapot on the table and poured him a cup of tea.

"A salary of 4.5 pounds a week? It's an enviable job, even if it's a little dangerous..."

"Are you responsible for protecting the safety of those big landowners, big businessmen, and big bankers?"

Lin Nuo took a sip of tea, put down the cup and asked casually.

"We accept various commissions, and the work is not limited to security work."

"The young son of tobacco merchant Vickrol was kidnapped and our company was commissioned to rescue him."

"The reward for that mission was very generous. I received a full pound in commission."

"And you can learn a lot of useful things. When I went to learn firearms before, I applied for reimbursement from the company."

Klein seemed to have a lot of experience in reimbursement, and he enthusiastically shared some practical tips with Lin Nuo.

At the same time, he subtly revealed some internal information of the Nighthawks to Lin Nuo.

According to the reply from Saint Samuel Cathedral, Ms. Lolota and the other two were responsible for safely escorting the Antigonus family's notes back to Backlund.

The Nighthawks of Tingen City were responsible for the early stages of searching for the whereabouts of Sealed Object 2-049.

The Backlund Diocese will also dispatch Red Gloves to assist in the investigation depending on the circumstances.

"Lin Nuo, my job is not as glamorous as it seems. We have to take great risks in the dark."

"The reason I was able to become a regular employee ahead of schedule is because I showed extraordinary qualities when facing a life-and-death crisis."

Klein said this with a wry smile on his face. His words came from his heart and were not entirely acted out.

We are guardians, but also a group of poor people who are always facing madness and danger.

This was the most realistic portrayal of the Nighthawks team that Dunn told Klein personally on his first day on the job.

The experience of almost dying at the hands of his classmates in the dock area made Klein grow a lot.

He would not put all the blame on Lin Nuo, but he really hoped that the other party could be more honest recently.

Klein didn't want to engage in a meaningless fight with Lin Nuo.

He also didn't want to see his teammates or classmates get injured or killed because of a careless remark he made.

"Klein, you'd better keep your voice down. I don't think you would want your sister to hear what you said before, right?"

Lin Nuo glanced towards the other side of the living room. After confirming that the little girl didn't hear it, he reminded Klein.

"Sorry, I forgot!"

Klein shuddered when he heard Lin Nuo's reminder and quickly turned his head to look towards the kitchen guiltily.

"Klein, as your friend, I need to remind you."

"A salary of £4.5 a week is good, but it's not worth sacrificing our lives for!"

"I am very sorry for the death of Welch and Naya. I don't want to mention your name when I visit you one day and only see your family members trying to hold back their grief."

After Lin Nuo obtained the information he wanted, he also tried to persuade Klein to be more cautious when going on missions in the future.

Although being a night watchman is a dangerous job, as long as you are less responsible and more selfish, you won't die so easily.

When Lin Nuo was the city leader, his main focus was on protecting himself.

However, the official supernatural beings in this world are more responsible than these ghost riders.

"Try to think positively about everything. Even if it's security work, most of the time it's just for show."

"If you encounter danger every now and then, then you must have encountered something evil. Going to Saint Selina Church more often to ask for the goddess's protection is more effective than anything else!"

Lin Nuo knew Klein's character, so he didn't try to persuade him too much. Instead, he smiled and made a joke.

"I am the goddess' most devout believer!"

Klein gave Lin Nuo a look that said "I understand". Together, the two of them drew a crimson moon on their chests by dotting four times counterclockwise.

"Praise the Goddess!" ×2

"By the way, why are you with Miss Anna?"

Klein relaxed after he realized from Lin Nuo's words that he didn't plan to cause any more trouble.

He adjusted his sitting position comfortably and started gossiping.

"Miss Anna has a fiancé!"

"Well, her fiancé just dumped her not long ago."

Lin Nuo nodded and teased Klein.

"Klein, your half-baked divination saved Anna's life."

"If Anna hadn't harbored deep resentment towards your divination result, she might not have been able to hold on until now."

"what?"

Klein didn't know whether to laugh or cry after listening to Lin Nuo's story about Anna.

Ms. Anna was his first client since his debut as a fortune teller. He thought he could help her, but he didn't expect the reality to be so... outrageous!

"You can't rely entirely on divination. Divination is not omnipotent."

"You don't need to blame yourself. This is not your fault. We all understand that."

Lin Nuo looked at Klein's troubled expression and smiled and comforted him.

"Divination...isn't it omnipotent?"

Klein was stunned when he heard this. He felt a comfortable sense of clarity all over his body.

His fortune teller's potion was completely digested, and he also summed up two rules for playing the fortune teller.

First, help others interpret the revelations and guide them in a good direction, but at the same time, one must always remain in awe of fate, not become inflated or arrogant, and not blindly believe in one's own interpretations.

Second, you cannot rely entirely on divination, as divination is not omnipotent.

Crane has obtained the potion formula of Sequence 8 Clown by channeling the corpse of Tuxedo Clown.

This means that he can now prepare to be promoted to Sequence Eight.

"Sir, Madam, would you like to stay for dinner?"

Melissa came out with a pot of peas and lamb stew and invited Lin Nuo and Anna.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, but Anna and I have already had dinner."

"Thank you again for your hospitality. It is us who are disturbing your dinner."

Lin Nuo bowed to Melissa with a very humble attitude.

Chapter 27 Lawson's Folk Herb Shop

"Mr. Klein, Ms. Melissa, thank you again for your help and care. I am really rude today."

Anna also bowed to express her gratitude.

"That's not necessary, Ms. Anna."

"My divination skills have improved significantly recently. Based on your face, I guess you may have a minor problem with your stomach."

"There is a 'Rosen's Folk Herbalist' at 18 Flood Street in the East District. Maybe it can help you."

Klein recommended this to Lin Nuo and Anna as he sent them out.

"How much commission do you get for bringing in a client, fortune teller?"

Lin Nuo smiled and took out a 5-penny coin and three 3-penny coins and threw them to Klein.

"I know the rules of your fortune tellers. First, you must have a fear of fate, and second, you must pay a corresponding price."

Klein took the four coins in his hand and smiled bitterly, but he did not choose to be polite to Lin Nuo.

The suggestions he made were really helpful to Ms. Anna's condition, and he would not believe Lin Nuo's previous nonsense. What did he mean by that he couldn't even find a job that paid 5 pounds a week?

Are you a superhuman short of that 5 pounds? You even have enough money to hire a young and beautiful maid.

"By the way, Lin Nuo, where do you live now?"

Klein looked at Lin Nuo's back and followed him two steps outside and asked.

Although as an official Night Watchman he would not easily visit Lin Nuo in order not to irritate him, but if he didn't even ask, then his behavior would seem a bit deliberate.

"No. 3 Wendel Street, North District. You are welcome to visit my home anytime."

Lin Nuo waved at Klein, indicating that he could come over to play anytime, after all, his house was quite big.

Damn! Rich people!

Klein declined Lin Nuo's offer with a sour look on his face. The rent for the detached house at 3 Wendel Street, North District, was 1 pound and 6 soli per week, with a minimum stay of one year.

This is their family’s future goal!

......

"The whole house has two floors. There are six rooms, three bathrooms, and two large balconies upstairs. Downstairs there is a dining room, a living room, a kitchen, two bathrooms, two guest rooms, and an underground storage room. There is also a garden outside..."

Lin Nuo took Anna back to his rented house and introduced it to her.

"Because I will be returning to Backlund later, there is no need to hire so many maids and stewards."

"You live on the first floor on weekdays, and house cleaning is a bit arduous, so you can entrust a special housekeeping company to come to your house regularly to clean it."

"You can have other people clean the other rooms, but you have to clean my room yourself, and don't touch anything. Do you understand?"

Anna nodded obediently. She was very clear about her position. She was picked up to help Lin Nuo deal with some trivial matters in life, so naturally she would not have any objections.

And these things are not difficult for her. She comes from a middle-class family. Although she does not go out to work, she is good at managing household affairs.

"It's already late today. You can go back and rest. If I have time tomorrow, I will take you to the herbal medicine shop in the B&B that Klein recommended."

Lin Nuo became interested in the herbal medicine store recommended by Klein. As a Night Watchman of the Church of Evernight, he couldn't have recommended it casually just for the introduction fee, right?

"I will have to sort out a few of Emperor Roselle's diaries later, and then hand them over to The Fool at the Tarot Club tomorrow."
