Mystery: Order and Disorder

"Its name is: Betrayer's Loyalty." Kerwin said the name of the Sealed Artifact and warned:

"Through it, you can directly pledge allegiance to His Majesty, and your oath will be guaranteed by the mysterious power."

Hearing this self-contradictory weird name, Grelint instinctively felt bad.

As far as the occult knowledge he knew, many "contracts" were made through "promises" and "oaths".

It's a pity that he has no chance to go back now, so he can only bite the bullet and cheer himself up, telling himself that a Level 2 Sealed Artifact shouldn't be particularly scary.

"Now you put your hand on it and swear by what I say."

Corwin continued to instruct, and when he saw Grelint made the corresponding action, he began to recite in Hermes:

"His Majesty the great George III,

I swear to you by my name, Grelint Mariano:

I will be loyal to you, obey the leadership of my superiors, and never do anything against your wishes.

Any violation will be punished.

Please witness my oath. "

Grelint followed him and repeated it sentence by sentence in Hermes.

And when he completed the oath, the strange black mist on the mirror suddenly separated a trace and floated onto him!

This made his heart sink, but when he subconsciously looked for it, he didn't find anything unusual, so he could only ignore it temporarily.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency Mariano, you are already one of our members!"

Corwin congratulated with a smile on his face, but did not explain what the strange black mist was.

"thanks."

Pressing the doubts in his heart, Grelint did not sincerely thank him.

At the same time, he asked:

"So, what are my rights and obligations? Your Excellency Major General."

"Don't worry, the specific training tasks and attendance tasks need to be arranged after you determine the department you join."

"I think Earl Hall should have talked to you."

"Our MI9 has divided departments according to the different areas where the tasks are performed, namely Loen Local, Feysac, Intis, Feneport, Navy and Southern Continent."

"Which branch do you want to go to?"

In fact, Grelint thinks that the easiest place to collect information should be in Loen, but with the characteristics of "Duke of Entropy", he doesn't dare to hang around in front of Qiao San all day long.

"My answer is: Southern Continent."

"Well, risks and opportunities coexist. I appreciate your choice."

Colvin commented with approval, and then said:

"We will not tell you the location of the branch until you officially report to the headquarters of MI9. At the same time, before you go to the southern continent, you need to train for three months to six months, and the specific training time depends on your learning progress."

"Well, the training of the last group of Beyonders going to the Southern Continent this year started in September. You can only wait until February next year to participate in the training."

"I'll take you to the headquarters to report and officially join you later."

"As for the higher-order potion formula you want, it must be exchanged for you to have enough credit."

Having said that, Colvin began to lead Grelint to the courtyard of the mansion.

"I don't know if you've noticed, we are now next door to the Royal Theatre, which is our headquarters."

"Usually we only open the ground floor and the second floor. The third and fourth floors above are known as exclusive to the royal family, but that is actually the headquarters of our MI9."

I see!

Grelint used to be curious about why the royal family's exclusive theater needs such a wide venue with two floors, and now he knows that this is the headquarters of MI9.

"According to different military ranks, you can access files and materials of different security levels."

"Our MI9 has a special status. As long as they are official mission members who have sworn to 2-47, they can at least get 'wei' level treatment and an official rank."

"Of course, there are more ordinary people who are engaged in clerical work."

"On the basis of 'Second Lieutenant', one level is added from Baron, two levels are added to Baron, and three levels are added to Viscount. As for the Extraordinary, there is no preferential treatment on this point. However, it is often easier for the Extraordinary to perform meritorious deeds and thus be promoted and promoted. treatment."

He didn't mention the earl, because the earl of the Loen Kingdom has a fixed seat in the upper house, and no one would be willing to risk their lives to join MI9 to perform tasks.

In fact, even the viscounts, few are willing to join.

"In other words, Mr. Mariano, you can directly get the rank and treatment of 'Major'."

"I have to tell you that this is not a good thing, because the tasks you face may exceed your capabilities."

"My personal suggestion is that you'd better be able to become a Sequence Eight before heading to the Southern Continent. As for its formula, I believe it won't be too difficult for you."

Grelint was quite puzzled by this point: "You, no, do we have no control over the private purchase of formulas and potion materials to enhance the sequence?"

This inevitably leads to the situation that managers do not understand the strength of their subordinates.

"Almost, our requirement is that whenever you improve the sequence, you can take the initiative and register."

"We are not the religious structure of the church. As long as you are loyal enough to complete the task qualified, there will be no restrictions."

Colwyn was quite kind, and led Grelint to the third floor of the "Royal Theatre" through a hidden passage.

"This floor is the area where ordinary members work, and the fourth floor above is the area for extraordinary people."

"The entire fourth floor is divided into an office area and a warehouse area. There are six areas in the office area. The warehouse area is divided into a left area and a right area. The left area is mainly used to store magical items, sealed items, potion materials, and the right area. It's the data area."

"The Luen regional branch and the entire headquarters of MI9 are combined in the same place. The magical items, sealed objects and materials here actually belong to the Luen regional branch."

"There is a saint who has been guarding this floor."

Saints, that is, beings that are half-human and half-god!

Grelint's pupils shrank when he heard it, and then he asked casually, "I don't know which sequence he is in?"

"Put away your prying eyes, this is not what you should understand."

With a warning, Colwyn continued to lead him forward.

"There are not many people here in the other five branches, especially the Southern Continent branch. There are only two training specialists and one principal."

Saying that, he pushed open the door on the far right.

The layout of this floor is probably the "corridor + suite" mode.

Behind each door corresponds to the office of each branch area in the headquarters, and the room setting is a combination of halls and small rooms.

"Korwyn?"

"Why did you come to us, is there a new member?"

Inside was a hoarse female voice.

Grelint, who followed Corwin in, finally saw the whole hall.

In the middle is a long table full of documents and documents, with a thin layer of dust on it. On the left is the smaller desk and the lady who asked aloud, a short and beautiful lady in a black dress.

She is about thirty years old, and her short brown hair makes her look very neat. Additionally, she features a prominent forehead and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

"Good noon, Kathy, this is your newest member - Viscount Grelint Mariano."

At the same time, he turned his head and introduced Grelint, "Gelelint, this lady is the head of the Southern Continent branch at the headquarters, Ms. Casey."
