Chapter 267: Letter from Taurus and

'Dear little Leon.

Thank you again for all you have done for the Cleanup Bureau and for all of humanity, and I would like to take this opportunity to extend my warmest regards to you and to tell you something.

First of all, I want to sincerely apologize to you. I may not be able to deliver the beads of the God of Brewing that I promised you before.

Originally, I agreed to lend you the beads and planned to go there myself and bring them over, but it is not convenient for me to leave the headquarters now. And based on my understanding of Olivia, if someone else sent the beads over, she would definitely try to snatch them away given her personality.

In order to avoid this situation, I had to ask Director Pisces to use the secret technique of the Pisces lineage to calculate the number of times you will use the Dionysus beads after getting them, and directly prepare the corresponding wine in advance and send it to you. I hope you will be satisfied with the result.

Secondly, although it is not complete, you have indeed mastered the secrets of both Taurus and Aquarius, which must have required a lot of material practice.

Therefore, in addition to the 1,111 bottles of wine this time, I also had someone bring some unusual materials for you to practice with, as well as a few of my notebooks, all of which were written when I was learning the Taurus secret art, which should also be helpful to your practice.

Finally, I will not repeat the words "looking forward to seeing you again in the near future" here. After all, you should have known from Olivia the decision made by me and the other two directors. So the palace viewing ceremony in half a year has been cancelled, and the meeting at the General Administration two days ago should be the last time we see each other.

One day half a year from now, I will be promoted directly from the General Administration to the Watch Palace, and use my soul to light a torch in the long night to illuminate the way forward for you.

good luck.

Taurus Director
Addendum: After I wrote the letter, Director Pisces also looked at your file and was very interested in you.

He believes that your ability to forcibly obtain information about abnormal objects is very similar to the Pisces lineage's "Abnormal Observation" secret technique, so he thinks you may be recognized by the Pisces Star Palace and have the qualifications to fully practice the Pisces secret technique. You can visit him after I get promoted to the palace.'

……

I see……

After reading the letter that came with the wine, Leon suddenly realized something.

No wonder the beads promised to him turned into more than a thousand bottles of soaked wine. It turned out that the Taurus director was worried that the red-haired director would "take a risk" and directly robbed him.

Well... you really don't say it. Based on my understanding of the director's moral integrity, the probability of her doing such a thing is really high. I can only say that Director Taurus understands the director, and he is still so nice. Not only did he send materials and notes, he even helped me get the Pisces secret technique... um...

Just as Leon was holding the letter and admiring the reliability and generosity of Mr. Taurus, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart for some reason. When he turned around in horror, he found that his director was holding a letter and staring at him with gritted teeth.

"Um... Chief, you don't have to look at me like that."

Lyon felt uneasy at the red-haired chief’s murderous gaze. He moved his throat and said with a forced smile:
"I drink alcohol just to taste it, and I only need to take a small sip from each bottle. You... please don't glare at me. I really only need to take a sip, and the rest is yours, isn't that enough?"

"They are all mine... I get to drink as much as I can!"

After hearing what Leon said, the red-haired director couldn't help biting his lip, and then his eyes suddenly turned red. He pointed at the pile of wine bottles next to him and said with a sad and angry face:

"These wines have been pre-made with the secret spell of the Spirit of Words. They taste like wine only in your mouth, but just water in other people's mouths. It would be a waste for me to drink them!" "..."

After listening to the red-haired director's words, Leon couldn't help but smacked his lips speechlessly, and then gave Mr. Taurus a thumbs up in his heart.

Just like the Aquarius lineage's auxiliary secret technique "God-covering Cross Finger" which is specifically used to suppress the true god's body in order to extract the materials needed for "abnormal creation", the Taurus lineage also has several auxiliary secret techniques that complement the main secret technique "abnormal forging".

What their chief encountered should be the "Spirit of Recognition of the Master" of the Taurus lineage, which can add a layer of "anti-theft lock" to abnormal objects. People who do not meet the conditions cannot use it normally. The "Twelve Ant Nests" on the upper floor of the Virgo Branch were locked by this secret technique.

However, the secret technique that can lock even numbered-level anomalies is used to lock some ordinary alcoholic beverages. Lord Taurus is like using an anti-aircraft cannon to kill a mosquito - he is making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Well... then I really have no other options..."

Unexpectedly, the Taurus Director would do such a ruthless thing. Unable to help, Leon could only spread his hands helplessly, looked at the red-haired director who wanted to cry but had no tears with sympathy, and then hurriedly moved the boxes of wine into the storage room on the first floor.

The red-haired director stood dejectedly aside, looking at the fine wine in front of him that he could only look at but not drink, and his stomach was full of sour gas.

Should we make things difficult for him? Or find a reason to deduct his salary?
Looking at Leon, who was constantly moving boxes of good wine into the house like a hardworking little squirrel, the red-haired director's eyes became more and more resentful and dangerous.

Although it’s not Leon’s fault that I can’t drink these good wines, I have treated him to so many drinks in the past, and the tavern bills are so long. I always think of this bastard when I have something good, but now he eats alone, he drinks while I watch, he gets drunk while I envious…

If I don’t do something, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep well this month!

……

"Hiss... that red-haired woman seems to be pent up."

After Leon moved all the wine and drinks and then closed the door of the storage room tightly, the black goat emerged from the light bulb glass in the storage room and warned with lingering fear:
"Boy, let me tell you something. Although she is very nice to the people in your bureau, she is also very petty. You better be careful these two days!"

"..."

Indeed, after having tasted so much good wine but not even being able to take a sip, the director's resentment has become so strong that it is about to solidify...

After hearing the black goat's instructions, Leon nodded helplessly, agreeing with its judgment. He then unscrewed a bottle of wine and took a sip in a literary manner.

There's no other way. Although I feel a little sorry for the director, after drinking these one thousand sips of wine, my [Martyr of the Wine Country] will be upgraded to a second badge of a different color, [Wine Fairy]. Besides, I wasn't the one who cast the word, so it's not that I'm not being righteous... Well... It's worthy of being the bead of the god of wine. This wine is really good.

With great willpower, Leon suppressed the urge to drink it all in one gulp, then silently screwed the bottle shut, opened the next one, and then, while trying his best to control his expression from being too happy, he tilted his head back and took a big gulp, feeling guilty for eating alone without the director's knowledge.

Mmm, it smells so good.
