: 197. Convicted at a nce_2
Nnd Lee nodded and pointed to one of the metal boxes:
“Let’s take this task. I’m sure.”
Jen opened the metal box Nnd Lee pointed to, took out the task order and read it aloud:
“This is a bounty task issued by the captain of the Conch Vessel. He suspects that there is a spy from other captains on the ship. He hopes to find the spy on board before the next sailing. There are two weeks left before his next departure. As long as you can find at least one spy or prove that all crew members have no issues, then your task will bepleted. This can bring you a remuneration of 1,000 gold coins. After deducting the agency fee, you will receive 900 gold coins.”
Jen briefly introduced the task and handed the task order to Nnd Lee:
“There is plenty of time for this bounty task. You can slowly search for clues. But please note, do not resort to violence in the Inner Circle, and do not use spells in the Core Circle. Good luck, Jarvis.”
Nnd Lee took the task order, stood up, weighed the scroll in his hand and said:
“Thank you, Jen. I’ll be right back.”
Jen was a little surprised:
“What? Right back?”<div>
Nnd Lee headed towards the door, waving his hand behind him:
“No need to send me off, I’m in a hurry.”
Before Jen could stand up to see him out, Nnd Lee opened the door and walked out, heading straight away from the Ind Affairs Department.
Jen was somewhat confused, not understanding what Nnd Lee meant by “I’ll be right back.”
“What a strange wizard…”
Jen sent the metal box on the table into the ss pipeline, continuing to deal with her official business.
Half an hourter.
“Knock knock knock.”
Someone knocked on Jen’s office door.
The person who entered was Nnd Lee.
Jen saw him, raised her eyebrows and couldn’t help but ask:
“Jarvis, is the task too difficult?”
“No, I have already found the spy.” Nnd Lee ced the task order book on the other party’s tabletop and made a “please read” gesture:
“There arements written by the Captain of the Conch Vessel in the evaluation column of the task order. My action report is also written on the task order. Take a look for yourself. You can also verify the authenticity of this order with the Captain of the Conch Vessel. But please, hurry, I’m pressed for time.”
Jen frowned, not immediately grasping Nnd Lee’s train of thought.
She picked up the order book, shaking it open to read through.
The Captain of the Conch Vessel wrote this passage in the evaluation column:
“An astonishing investigative process, brilliant reasoning, and I was deeply impressed by Enforcement Wizard Jarvis’s detection methods! Jarvis has already helped me find the spy, so please pay the bounty to him, Ind Affairs Department. He deserves it!”
The excessively positive praise and six exmation marks made Jen think that the evaluation in the order book was fake.<div>
Nnd Lee’s action report written on the order was so simple that it raised Jen’s doubts:
“I bumped into the second mate of the Conch Vessel and a group of thugs on the way. I followed them and found out the second mate was colluding with the Seabird Vessel and caught the other party red-handed. That’s it.”
Jen spaced out for a while, slightly dazed as she put down the order book and looked at Nnd Lee across the table:
“You happened to encounter the second mate meeting with the Seabird Vessel, and you just found the spy like that?!”<div>
“Yes, Jen.” Nnd Lee tapped his wrist watch with his fingertip:
“You can verify it with the Captain of the Conch Vessel right now, but again, don’t waste time. I’ve heard that your pay as a bounty agent is by the piece, right? The more bounty tasks you issue and getpleted, the moremission you earn. Listen to me, Jen, cherish the opportunity to work with me and cooperate with my work. Don’t waste time. How muchmission you can make from working with me depends on how many tasks you can give me in a day. Do you understand? Time is money, my friend.”
Jen looked a little dazed. The endorsement from Selena made her believe that Nnd Lee was indeed telling the truth. Still, no one had ever managed to find a spy among more than 200 crew members in such a short time!
This feat seemed a little unreal to Jen, too bizarre, like watching a staged y.
“Thump thump.” Nnd Lee reached out to knock on the edge of the table.
Jen came back to her senses:
“Oh, I… I need to verify it. Wait a moment, Jarvis. I believe you reallypleted the task and didn’t forge the order book. But I have to verify it. Sorry, I must do it.”
“Please, do.” Nnd Lee crossed his legs and sat in the chair, with his hands sped on hisp.
Jen left her office with the task order, walking hurriedly and quickly.
About five minutester, she came rushing back from the other end of the corridor, opening the office door with a face full of shock.
“I checked, Jarvis. Unbelievably, you found the spy in just half an hour.”
Jen sat down, smoothing the hem of her robe below her hips.
Nnd Lee raised his hand to stop her from speaking:<div>
“Cherish time, Jen, cherish the opportunity to make money. Now, help me find the next bounty task that requires finding a spy.”
“Alright, alright, I’m on it.” Jen’s eyes lit up, she seemed to understand Nnd Lee’s intention and confidence!
The Enforcement Wizard appointed by Deputy Principal Selena had some unknown abilities. She would definitely cherish the opportunity to work with him.
