"I checked. It's one of the best universities in the whole of Pratt! It's incredible to be admitted by such an outstanding person like us. Dorothy, you need to cherish this opportunity."
With an expectant look, Greg continued to tell Dorothy that in their frequent correspondence, Dorothy told him that she was currently attending the Tivian Royal Holy Crown University's affiliated high school, and her goal was to be admitted to Holy Crown University. After Greg, who came from the countryside, understood the value of Holy Crown University, he began to feel proud of his sister from the bottom of his heart.
Greg was very optimistic about Dorothy's future. In the beginning, he brought Dorothy to Igwynte so that Dorothy could go to middle school and get a better job after graduating from middle school. However, he never thought that Dorothy would have the opportunity to get into one of the best universities in the country with her "hard work". This made Greg very happy.
"You don't have to tell me, Greg. Of course I will cherish this opportunity. My goal now is to get into Holy Crown University."
Dorothy continued to respond, and at the same time she was complaining in her heart that she was essentially a student at Guan University, with the school making arrangements for her and providing her with complete information in all aspects. Although she had never attended a day of class there, she had at least learned a lot in its library.
"By the way, Dorothy, where are you living now? Is it far from here? I want to see what the environment there is like. If it's not suitable, I can help you live in a better place."
Greg had almost finished his steak, wiping his mouth with his napkin as he spoke, and Dorothy answered directly.
"You don't have to say that. I forgot to tell you in my previous letter that I'm currently living in the girls' dormitory at school. Even girls in this middle school can have their own dormitories on campus, so I always live in school. Girls' dormitories... well... I'm afraid it's not very convenient for you to go and see them, Greg."
Dorothy gave the answer she had prepared before. After hearing her words, Greg couldn't help but pause. After imagining the living environment of an entire group of middle-aged women like Dorothy, he gave up the idea of going to take a look.
After that, Dorothy and Greg finished the meal while chatting. After Greg paid the bill, the two went out for some shopping. During the time, Greg noticed that Dorothy was wearing very simple clothes, and thought that she was saving money at the moment so she only bought cheap clothes to wear, so he went to the clothing store and bought Dorothy some clothes that looked a bit fancy.
In response, Dorothy had to smile dryly and accepted all the clothes, while mentally complaining that she had bought the clothes from a clothing store that had custom-made clothes for Adele, and that they looked plain only for the design style, but were actually so expensive that they might be enough to pay for two or three months' rent.
After finishing the shopping, it was already getting late. After giving Dorothy a month's living expenses, Greg said goodbye to Dorothy and left. After all, it was not a smaller city like Igwynte. In Tivian, both parties' study and work places were far away, so it was not convenient for them to live together.
"Have a safe trip. Remember not to waste money! If you have any questions, remember to write or telegram me!"
Standing on the side of the road, Gregor waved and shouted at the taxi going away in the distance. Dorothy, who was sitting in the carriage, also waved in response. After watching the taxi disappear at the end of the street, Gregor also breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a torch, and put it to his mouth. After taking two puffs, he exhaled a puff of purple smoke.
"Huh... I've been here for so long, and I finally got to see Dorothy... Now it's time to cheer up and start working."
Having said that, Gregor turned around and walked to the other end of the street while smoking a cigarette.
…
The sun sets and the moon rises, night goes and day comes.
Soon, a day passed quickly, and the day after meeting Dorothy, Greg finally had his first day at work at the Security Bureau.
Taking a special horse-drawn carriage, Gregor came to the underground parking lot of the Security Bureau. After getting off the carriage, he straightened his brown-black suit. After glancing at the wide and dim underground parking lot, he quickly walked through a small door into the office area of the Security Bureau.
He walked out of the security corridor with bright lights hanging above his head, passed through the hall with a tall statue of the Goddess Mirror Moon, and passed through several security checkpoints with bright lights among countless unfamiliar faces. Finally, he stopped at a door at the side of a corridor. At the door, he looked at his watch, confirmed that he was not late, pushed the door open and walked in.
Behind this door was a room with simple decoration. Several gas lamps hanging on the ceiling illuminated the small space. The room had two doors, a blackboard on one wall, and a large square table in the middle. Five people, one woman and four men, were already sitting at the table.
These five people had different facial features and ages. The younger one looked about the same age as Gregor, and the older one looked to be in his forties. After hearing Gregor come into the room, the five of them looked over to him. Under everyone's gaze, Gregor closed the door, then smiled and spoke.
"Good morning, everyone. You are up really early."
Gregor said this while greeting them, but none of the five people responded directly. Except for a taller and shorter man who nodded to him, the others ignored him. Seeing such a cold reaction, Gregor could only shrug secretly, and then found a seat in front of the square table and sat down.
After sitting down, Greg began to observe other people while waiting silently. After waiting for another ten minutes, another door in the room was opened, and a woman in her mid-twenties walked in.
The woman had short yellow hair, blue eyes, a tall figure and a resolute expression. She wore a sword at her waist and long boots and stepped into the room.
A woman who was taller than the average man and wearing a modified hunter uniform that resembled an officer's uniform walked to the table. After pausing for a moment, she glanced at the people sitting in front of her and spoke in a high-spirited tone as if making a declaration.
"Good morning, everyone from the bureaus across the country, it's nice to meet you. From today on, we will advance and retreat together."
The woman said this, then she put her hand on her chest and introduced herself.
"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Misha De Blanca. I am the most loyal knight appointed by His Highness Harold himself. Now, I am following His Highness' orders to form a special investigation team with you in the Security Bureau to conduct a special investigation into some of the current problems within the Bureau. From now on, I will be your direct superior. In the coming period of time, I will work with you to eliminate the impurities within the Bureau."
The woman named Misha said so. Listening to her words, the people below had different reactions. Gregor suddenly understood in his heart. He had heard before that His Highness Harold would send the most trusted person to lead them to find the traitor. He didn't expect that he would directly send his knight over.
