The noise in the tavern did not affect dills's thinking.
Born in a slum, he is very familiar with this environment. It can even be said that he has been used to it for a long time. For others, it is a very noisy environment, but for him, it is a natural intelligence collection point. Although there are many meaningless contents, there is no lack of some golden gossip, and the only thing he needs to do is to organize the information he needs from these chaotic words.
Of course, under normal circumstances, this practice is only applicable to those small villages and towns. After all, there are usually only one or two pubs in such places, and the intelligence is naturally relatively concentrated. Usually, if you want to find out the information you need in a city, you won't choose the stupid practice of going to pubs. After all, even if a city is small, at least there will be several pubs, and the information collection channels will be scattered. Unless a lot of human resources are invested, this practice is a pure waste of time.
It's just a waste of time for others, but not necessarily for dills. Without such a stunt or two, he could not have become the general head of the Intelligence Department of the Millennium covenant empire.
Sitting quietly by the bar counter, dills didn't attract much attention. He just ordered himself a relatively affordable dinner and a glass of ale.
At the moment, he looks a bit like a down-to-earth wanderer who comes from a distance and tries to find a good opportunity here in the void city.
He didn't eat fast, but he was a bit hasty. He looked no better than wolfing down. At least he was rude. He would drink a mouthful of ale only when he choked, and then hammer his chest to swallow the food hard. It took him less than two minutes to finish the meal. There was still half a glass of ale left. Dills licked his lips and touched his purse with his right hand. His eyes showed some loss and frustration.
However, his eyes soon returned to calm and looked like he was full of hope for life again. When the owner of the tavern came up to him and began to clean up the dishes, dills took a hard sip of the ale glass, which looked like drinking courage. Then he asked, "boss, are you still hiring people here?"
"Hiring?" The tavern owner was stunned. He glanced at the young man with an expectant look in his eyes.
This is a young man full of vitality. Just now, when he was delivering food to him, the boss noticed that the young man threw the dusty old cloak at his feet. This little detail is not very eye-catching, but it is very important to talk with countless adventurers every day For the tavern owner with whom businessmen deal, it is a very clear message: This is a well-educated but very down-to-earth young man.
If such a young man is not really desperate and hungry to the extreme, he will not gobble up his dinner like just now. Of course, he will not have the courage to ask about work after drinking a mouthful of ale. In any case, this is a very shy young man who has just set foot in society. Maybe something happened at home made the young man have to try his luck in the void city.
Now, the leaders of the nearby territories are well aware that the void city led by panda is an emerging city. It has just been built and is still in a blank reclamation period. If we can seize this opportunity to gain a foothold here, we probably don't need to worry too much about our future life. Because of this, many people come to the void city every day. These people include vagrants, unhappy neighbors in other territories, and even some bankrupt businessmen or poor people.
Although the arrival of these people makes the void city no longer need to worry about the population, the saturated employment rate in a short time also began to breed some crime problems. Fortunately, with the return of consul Neil, the relevant public security of the void city is much better now. At least after sending more patrols and guards and directly executing some criminals, the void city also began to restore its former peace and tranquility.
The tavern owner is quite optimistic about the educated young man in front of him. After all, if the void city continues to prosper, it will certainly be of great benefit to him. However, it's a pity that he just recruited a man who looks more capable, which is already running at full capacity for his tavern, so although he sympathized with the young man, he shook his head and refused: "young man, you're a little late."
Sure enough, as soon as the tavern owner's words fell, dills cooperated and showed a look of disappointment and loss.
In fact, deers, as the chief of the Intelligence Department of the Millennium covenant Empire, noticed a torn notice outside the tavern when he entered the tavern.
Judging from the traces of the paper still left on the wall, dills easily judged that the paper must have been a notice paper for recruiting employees. Judging from the ash marks displayed after the paper was torn off and the adhesive marks behind the residual paper, the paper should have been torn off within two days after it was pasted. Moreover, there is no new covering trace on the paper, which shows that the tavern is full of staff, so dills can't be admitted here for questioning.
However, deers still showed disappointment about the long-known result, just for his next move: "well... Can you provide me with some information? I... I really need a job now. "
At the same time, dills took off his money bag, showed a determined grin, and poured out all the money in the money bag.
Three silver coins and twenty-one copper coins.
The tavern owner glanced, and his eyes showed some sympathy. At most, this money is enough for the young man to spend four or five days in the void city. After that, if he can't find a job, he may really become a beggar. But that's not what the tavern owner really sympathizes with. Now he can really be sure that the young man in front of him is an inexperienced rookie.
"Hey, looking for a job?" A burly looking man sitting next to him came carelessly, "I can introduce you to a job."
"Dole." The tavern owner frowned slightly, but after being stared at by the big man named dur, he could only shut up bitterly.
Deers was keenly aware of this move, and then his face showed some panic. He quickly swept the money into the money bag, and a smile worse than crying appeared on his face: "thank you... Thank you for your kindness, I..."
But dills's right hand was soon grabbed by dur and took his purse.
Deers's face changed greatly. He tried to get his money bag back, but he was knocked down on the bar by dole. At this time, the two big men sitting with Dole also stood up. The three soon surrounded dills. Although they didn't do it, the invisible deterrent was enough to make many timid people step back. The tavern was quiet for a while, but after seeing that the troublemaker was duel, the tavern soon resumed its previous noise.
As for the incident at the bar, they have forgotten all about it.
"Dole, if you want to continue drinking here in the future, stop it." The tavern owner really liked the young man, and if Dole made trouble here, it would have some impact on his tavern, so he immediately said, "if you don't go again, I'll go to the patrol captain."
Dur looked at the tavern fiercely, and then turned away with a cold hum. However, before leaving, he gave dills a hard elbow: "stingy, you're lucky."
Dills's face turned white after being punched by Dole, but he just dared to be angry and dare not speak. Looking at the money bag taken by Dole, he was so anxious that he almost cried. But in the end, he could only watch Dole and his two companions leave arrogantly, and had no courage to catch up.
"Alas." For a long time, the tavern owner sighed slightly, "that guy is Goldy's man, a famous villain near here. Although if you go to the guard, their behavior will be punished, but Goldy will come to trouble you, unless you don't want to stay in the void city. "
Dills pursed his lips and didn't reply. His face was still a little dull.
"Well, you go to the south of the city to find Rodo, and say I introduced you. If you're lucky, you may find a job." The tavern looked at dills and finally moved with compassion, "Rodo is a famous meat supplier in void city. It is said that even the food of the Lord's house is purchased from him. I heard before that he needs a little knowledge and education. Maybe he wants to deal with the people in the Lord's house But whether you can win the job from Rodo depends on yourself. "
Hearing what the tavern owner said, dills's eyes showed excitement and joy.
This time, he didn't pretend.
Originally, he just wanted to get himself a legal identity with the help of the condition that the tavern owner introduced his work, which is of course a great guarantee for his underground activities in the void city. When he entered the tavern, he caught a key message during the small meeting just now: now there is a mixture of good and bad people in the void city. Although increasing the patrol guard has improved the public security situation, in fact, the void city is still in a relatively chaotic and complex situation. Therefore, once there is anything unusual, it will be noticed soon.
Judging from this information, dills probably knows why his men missed: in such a chaotic situation, coupled with the careful anti espionage work in void city - only in this tavern, dills found two people who may be engaged in anti espionage work. Judging from this point, Deers has every reason to believe that the taverns near the four city gates must be monitored by the intelligence department belonging to Panda collar. If they don't pay attention to it a little at this time, they will be watched immediately. Given the current tense relationship between panda collar and the kingdom of dabion, if deers is in charge of intelligence work, it must be killing mistakes.
Therefore, it can only be said that dills's men are not bad at learning, but are completely regarded as a victim.
The spy investigation work can never be completed in a short time, so dills urgently needs a new identity.
What he didn't expect was that his luck was really too good. He was able to connect with the food suppliers of the Lord's house from the tavern owner, which saved him a lot of trouble in his next espionage work. Because he came to void city only to investigate who has Phoenix blood. According to the known intelligence clues, deers has actually locked three people: Rena, Shina and Cecilia.
But he couldn't be sure because he didn't have enough intelligence to establish data analysis.
However, if he could get close to the Lord's house, he believed that his work would be finished soon.
At the same time, after thanking the tavern owner, dills couldn't wait to leave the tavern. All his behaviors were very normal and didn't attract the attention of the two people who were also conducting intelligence investigation in the tavern.
On this point alone, we really have to say that dills is an expert in this field, because the two sides are not at the same level at all.
