Chapter 417 Background Check
Afterwards, Yami was somewhat confused and was dragged by Miss Zoe to many places and met many people.
Without exception, these people all kept a lot of coyotes, and each coyote had a lot of ears - God, are all the wolves in Castell so scary?
But those people did not talk about their wolves. Instead, they all looked at him strangely. Yami was a little scared and confused, not knowing what was going on.
Finally, when Miss Zoe finally stopped, a large group of people had gathered around her.
Yami was quite flustered. He had no idea what was going on and why these adults from Castel cared so much about him.
But after these people discussed it, they didn't do anything else. They just gave me a small bag of food, saying it was a reward for my help, and then let me follow the class.
He was still groggy when he returned to the shack at the end of the day. He had no idea how much he had heard in class, but at least he had memorized some letters and spellings.
After lying in the shack for a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Yami, are you there?" A slightly old voice came. Yami stood up from the bed and moved the larger door panel aside.
There are no decent houses in the slums. The shacks here are good enough to shelter from the wind and rain. There are no locks at all, and knocking on the door is just a courtesy.
Standing at the door was Grandma Petunia. Her face looked much rosier and no longer as pale as before.
She hadn't eaten much these days and left all the food for her granddaughter. Today, she went to the literacy class and actually had a free meal.
Although they couldn't eat as much as they wanted, everyone had something to eat. They were all proper food, and there was even some fish, but the size of the fish was a bit ridiculously large.
But it makes no difference when you eat it.
"Granny Petunia, you look much better." Yami scratched his head and greeted her.
"That's all thanks to you for signing us up. Without the food in the literacy class, I don't know how long I could have lasted."
"Well, it was Castel who provided the meals, and I just signed up."
"Without you, we wouldn't know about this. We should definitely thank you." Granny Penny waved her hand. "I heard today that Castel is going to build a new factory in Blood Harbor. It is said that he will select people from the literacy class."
"Factory? What's that?"
"It's one thing. You don't have to worry about it. The work in the factory is a bit tiring, but the pay is generally good. These Castel people are very generous, so they should be generous with their salaries as well."
"Have you ever seen a factory before?"
"I've been to the Rhine once and seen the factories there. It's a great place. Everyone is scrambling to get in."
Yami nodded in surprise, then he remembered that his mother-in-law and her family had just fallen into the slums. Unlike him, they had never left Blood Harbor, let alone had any experience.
"Young man, I don't count on you anymore. It's good enough to have a meal. But you are still young. Study hard. If you do well, you may catch the eyes of those big shots and have a chance to work in the factory."
Yami nodded quickly.
Although he was asked all kinds of questions in the morning, he still didn't feel that there was anything special about him.
What good is fast counting? Helping the big guys in Castel raise wolves?
Well, it doesn't seem impossible. It's at least a way out.
After saying goodbye to Grandma Penny, Yami lay on his simple bed, fantasizing about the future and couldn't help laughing.
“Maybe I can get into the factory too.”
In the shadows of the alley not far away, several pairs of eyes withdrew their gaze.
"How's the investigation going?"
"It's basically done. The target's social connections are quite simple. Go report to Lady Zoe."
Soon, Zoe had an extra piece of information about Yami.
She is Castel's diplomat. Diplomats do more than just negotiate, collect intelligence, release information, and even spread rumors and conduct espionage. These are the jobs of overseas personnel.
As for gathering talents, it is her most serious job.
Zoe did not bring Yami back to Castel immediately.
Of course she knew how outrageous Yami's talent was. This mental arithmetic speed was incredible. Even if he had no other mathematical talents, just relying on this calculation ability, Castel would always have his place.
But Yamiko is not from Castel, he is a resident of Blood Harbor.
It would not be difficult to get him from the prince, but Blood Harbor was a place where all kinds of people mixed together. Therefore, after discussing with the others, Zoe decided to do a background check first. Since they had to attend the literacy class anyway, it was a good opportunity to see what kind of person this young man named Yami was.
Now it seems that he is an honest and decent person. Well, maybe he is a little old. With this talent, he can make some money even in Blood Harbor, so he doesn't have to live in the slums.
Personal character is not a necessary assessment item, but the Northern Border Investigation is.
Those who can survive in the slums of Blood Harbor are most likely to have connections with the Church of the Evil God. Otherwise, even an organization of the size of the Secret Order would have to borrow the name of a cult.
There aren't many opportunities for people at the bottom of society to survive.
This aspect of the investigation is more laborious and requires more visits, which is why Zoe asked him to come back first, to avoid alerting the enemy.
After the fall of the Mother Goddess Church, the Secret Order had thoroughly infiltrated the lower levels of Blood Harbor. After some time, Zoe finally got the report.
But the result of this report. "Mother-in-law, are you saying that this young man has been to the Mother God Church, the Doomsday Truth Church, the Blood Cup Society, and even the Secret Society?"
Zoe's eye twitched.
She has been in Blood Harbor for some time and is familiar with most of the situations here. These are all well-known evil cults, except for the Secret Order.
No. Even including the secret society, Yami came to drink the holy water boiled by Josh.
The mother-in-law was also speechless: "He has stayed in every church for a while, but he only went there to eat and never joined."
In order to recruit believers, these evil god churches often provide food as temptation.
The more generous ones, such as the Mother Goddess Church, will even directly distribute food to the poor. Even if they want to trick some sacrifices in, they will not use overly radical means at the beginning.
"So, he has been eating for free like this until now?"
Grandma nodded. "Many evil cults have recruited him. For example, the Secret Order recruited him to work, but he didn't go. He just ate some free meals and slipped away. I don't know if he is smart or stupid."
Zoe remembered Yami's dazed look and couldn't tell for a moment, but luckily the literacy class allowed free meals, which attracted him here.
