After thinking for a long time, Steward Canon stopped his thoughts, looked at Supervisor Rommel, and asked aloud: "Director Rommel, when will the inspector you mentioned arrive? Maybe we can make proper preparations. This is not the case. I'm afraid of the other party, but it's not a bad thing to be overprepared. As you said, the one on duty now is no longer Lord Foehn, but the Chief of Gray Mist."
"No need." Rommel, who was wearing a gold robe, shook his head and denied, "It's not necessary and it's too late. The inspector will arrive within an hour."
"Within an hour?" Canon was slightly shocked, "So soon?"
"Yes, so fast." Rommel said softly, "I am a little surprised. After all, this is the first time that I have received relevant news so recently. In a sense, this may represent an attitude."
"Uh..." Canon was silent. Although he had a lot to say, he wisely kept it in his heart.
At this time, Rommel said quietly: "Those of us in the Southern Free Federation are far away from the headquarters. In addition, the previous failure on the east coast has not been fully investigated until now. It seems that the headquarters has already expressed its opinions. In this case, I think It is inevitable to make some major adjustments. But it doesn’t matter. After all, we are all serving the true God and have no selfish motives. It’s okay to make some adjustments.”
"Yeah, that's fine." Finally, Rommel repeated emphatically.
Canon's face maintained an unwavering expression. He glanced at Rommel, quickly lowered his head, and said nothing.
…
Half an hour later.
A gust of wind blew into the underground base of the Society of Truth near Delan from the entrance, and a figure appeared.
I saw that the other party was wearing a pure black windbreaker. He was very impressive, walking very fast, and carrying a resolute aura in his movements. The most eye-catching thing is that the other person wears a blue ring on his right index finger.
It was this ring that made the members of the Truth Society in the underground base collectively startled. With a bit of nervousness and a bit of vigilance, they looked cautiously at each other as they pushed the door open and walked into a room in the base.
After the man in the black trench coat walked into the room, he immediately saw Rommel and Cannon standing inside looking at him, as if they had been waiting for him for a long time.
The man in black trench coat was stunned for a moment, but then quickly regained his composure. He first looked at Rommel, who was wearing a golden robe, lowered his head, and greeted sincerely: "Hello, Director Rommel, I didn't expect you to greet me here in person." I, I thought you were busy with work and didn’t have time.”
Rommel chuckled lightly, looked at the man in black trench coat, and said in a tepid tone: "I do have a lot of things to do on my hands. Pompeii alone is almost too much for me to take care of. But since the inspector is here , out of courtesy, I still want to see you."
After hearing the words, the man in black trench coat smiled in agreement, then looked at Canon and said, "You are Canon's manager. I may have a lot of contact with you due to my mission. I hope you can cooperate."
"Easy to say." Canon said, his response was extremely brief and he refused to say a word more.
The man in black trench coat didn't mind after hearing this. He straightened his expression, glanced at Canon and Rommel, and took a deep breath: "In this case, I won't talk nonsense. Director Rommel, and Canon, manager, Maybe you already know who I am, but please allow me to introduce myself as required.
My name is Chikafu, and I am an inspector sent by Lord Gray Mist to inspect several branches of the Southern Free Federation.
The content of the inspection is mainly to determine whether there are major hidden dangers in the area and whether the headquarters needs to provide more resource support. After all, the failure of the East Coast is a lesson to us. We cannot achieve the expected situation in a short time. No one wants this to happen again in the Southern Free Federation.
Of course, during the process, if some personnel in the branch have problems, I will raise them in time. At that time, I hope you two won't mind. After all, I am only acting in accordance with my duties. "
Rommel heard this but made no response, neither agreeing nor rejecting, which was not very honorable.
However, Canon did not do this. Although some stewards at his level did dare to confront the inspectors, they were all very powerful beings, such as Muse, who was once sent to the east coast and died there.
For Canon, he is just a regular manager. In order to ensure his dignity, he always tries to maintain a serious look in front of his subordinates, so he secretly raises a demonized rabbit and dare not let others know about it.
Faced with Chekhov's words, he responded with a lukewarm tone: "Inspector Chekhov, don't worry, I will try my best to cooperate with you within the regulations. Of course, I also hope that you can do everything. Follow the rules and don’t make things difficult for me.”
"I will." Chikafu replied, looking at Canon and saying, "If it's possible, I want to start my work now, is that okay, Canon's in charge?"
"Okay, I will arrange an office for you immediately." Canon said, his tone still lukewarm.
"No need to go to such trouble." After hearing what he said, Chikafu waved his hand and refused, saying, "I can't stay at the branch base for too long. I will spend most of my time outside doing field research. Stay here. At most, it's just to retrieve some information, I think... If you don't mind, Canon, I can share an office with you."
"This..." Kanon was a little hesitant. Before he could express his position, Chikafu had already walked to Kanon's seat and sat down. Then he picked up the documents on the table and asked, "Steward Kanon, can I read these documents of yours?" I want to know what you have been dealing with recently, so that I can quickly understand the current branch situation."
Canon couldn't find a reason to refuse, and nodded with a slightly stiff expression: "Of course." In his heart, his displeasure with Chekhov's arrival increased a bit.
Chikafu seemed to be completely unaware of this. He read the documents on the table seriously, and after a moment, he took out a separate copy and put it in his hand. Looking over, it was the document that caught Canon's attention just now, with the title "Report on the strange current situation of the mine near Shambhala Town".
After taking out this document, Chikafu did not stop and continued to read the remaining documents. After a while, he took out two more documents and put them at hand.
The titles of the documents are: "Exploration of suspected ancient ruins in Caddo Cave" and "Investigation of the sharp increase in deaths in Besti City in the past three months."
Kanon looked at Chikafu and rolled his eyes with a complicated expression. Originally, he had concluded that Chekhov was deliberately "looking for trouble", but now it seems that "Chekhov" might really want to do something practical.
Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that the other party is just pretending on the surface, but has another purpose behind the scenes.
You have to take your time to see what is going on. You have to stay sharp until there is no final result.
Kanon continued to look at Chekhov.
