Jason looked at the paper with a hint of surprise on his face.
The paper is a letter of engagement.
It says something about Jason—
Mr. Jason is hereby hired as a special advisor to our district for a term of three months from August 14th, Hr1871 to November 14th, Hr1871.
Lord City Police Department
Hr1871.8.14
…
The handwriting is very neat and conforms to the format, and there is a red seal at the end.
Undoubtedly, this has legal effects.
And this is where Jason was surprised.
A sheriff in Bondi can actually affect the Lord City Police Department
You must know that although the magistrate is called differently, he is only at the same level as the sheriff.
However, Jason then thought of the sheriff's familiarity with the 'Night Watchman'.
And this is also not something that an ordinary sheriff can know.
It was clear that Bundy had a secret like no other.
But Jason would not explore such a secret.
Everyone has secrets.
Bundy has.
He has too.
In view of the relationship between the two parties, mutual polite cooperation is the best choice.
peep
That would just backfire.
Thoughts flashed, Jason looked at Bundy.
"This is?"
he asked knowingly.
"Although the time is short, I recognize Jason's ability. I think short-term employment is not suitable for our current situation. Long-term cooperation is a win-win situation."
"Of course, I will settle the short-term employment expenses immediately."
"The cost of long-term employment is 1.5 gold grams per week. At the same time, you can stay and use everything in this room for free. If there are additional expenses, you can also choose to reimburse them."
Bundy explained.
A newspaper is 1 copper horn, 4 copper horns is a copper gram, 22 copper grams is 1 silver gram, and 16 silver grams is 1 gold gram.
That is to say, 1 gold gram is equal to 1408 copper horns.
Although it is a cheap newspaper, it is still equivalent to the sum of the mushrooms just bought.
Obviously, 1 copper horn also has good purchasing power.
Let alone 1 gold gram.
And 1.5 gold grams a week is enough to show Bondi's sincerity.
Coupled with free accommodation and kitchen, it is really good.
He had absolutely no reason to refuse.
"Can."
"But I want to get my first week's salary now when I settle my employment expenses."
"Also, I hope to get support for weapons and equipment."
After pondering for a while, Jason put forward his own conditions.
According to the introduction of the so-called main task, he will only stay here for seven days, and it will be difficult for him to receive his weekly salary at that time. It is better to spend in advance to buy some necessary kitchen utensils and seasonings. He needs more kitchen utensils for cooking. Food, also fed up with a single pepper and salt.
At the very least, let's have some potatoes and radishes when stewing meat. This is not an excessive request, is it
As for weapons and equipment
Jason never disliked too much.
If it weren't for the conditions, he wished he could carry two RPGs at any time.
"no problem."
Bundy agreed to the conditions proposed by Jason without even thinking about it.
Because this was originally given by him to repay Jason for saving his subordinates. Of course, as he said, he recognized Jason's ability.
A smile appeared on his serious face, and the sheriff held out his unhurt hand.
Jason raised his hand and shook it.
"Pleasant cooperation."
Then, Jason told Bundy everything he thought of before.
"Will the three-day interval increase the power of those monsters?"
Immediately, Bondi's expression became more serious than ever.
As the sheriff who participated in it, he really understood what the consequences would be if those monsters became stronger.
"It's just a guess."
"Not sure at the moment."
Jason said truthfully.
"Is that so..."
"I see!"
"I will strengthen the patrol force!"
With that said, Bundy was about to leave, even if it was just a guess, he would not be careless.
"etc!"
Jason stopped the rushing other party, and when the other party turned around in astonishment, Jason continued to talk about another thought he had before: "Although those monsters are monsters, it is obvious that they, like most creatures, need food. You also need to rest."
"Jason, are you saying..."
Bundy's eyes lit up.
"Um!"
"Just as you think."
"The place where you want to accommodate some monsters without being discovered by others must be hidden. It is difficult to find this. However, food will not be born out of thin air. A large number of meat or vegetable transactions are the most noteworthy. Yes, especially the recent ones."
Jason nodded.
"give it to me!"
Bondi walked out as he spoke.
On the face of the sheriff, there was unprecedented excitement.
He finally found a little breakthrough.
Or to be precise, at the beginning, facing these monsters, he was always influenced by the biographical stories in his mind, so he couldn't judge at all, let alone start.
And now
He finally found his own rhythm.
After watching the confident opponent leave, Jason turned around and returned to the room.
After closing the door, he looked at the 'box that belongs to him'.
Jason was quite curious about this extra box for no reason.
Naturally, Jason was not lacking in vigilance.
Such vigilance comes not only from the box itself, but also from the meanings represented outside the box itself, for example: is this a temptation to doubt his identity and so on.
But at this stage, it is not.
The attitude shown by Bundy is enough to explain everything.
Supposing this, too, was a temptation in disguise
Jason also thought about how to deal with it.
Thankfully, Jason was overthinking it.
This was confirmed after he opened the box.
Inside the box was the same suit as Jason's, a pair of leather shoes, and a black hunting cap.
In addition to these, Jason also found a letter and a wallet in the side pocket of the box.
After checking that there was no problem, Jason opened the wallet first.
There are 1 gold gram, 4 silver gram, 11 copper gram and 2 copper horn in the wallet.
"A windfall."
Jason said and picked up the letter.
After the same check, Jason opened the letter—
Dear Jason:
Long time no see, Jason, I hope you passed the 'Grass' trial of the 'Night Watchman' smoothly, and you can live well, my life is not bad.
You know, I have been doing nothing since I retired; recently I heard that Lord is developing well, so I came here to have a look, if you want to learn some knowledge and skills that really belong to the 'Night Watchman', you can come here Find me.
I live temporarily at 17 Harlan Street.
— Always love your teacher, Dan
Hr1871.7.10
…
"teacher?"
"The knowledge and skills that really belong to the 'Night Watchman'?"
While whispering to himself, Jason's eyes couldn't help but light up.
