Chapter 387 Mystical Mark
Chapter 387 Mystical Mark
"Feel sorry……"
As the square-faced middle-aged man sighed, the golden emblem of a man holding a bow and a horse actually came out directly from the mirror and floated in front of Leon and the red-haired director.
"It's not that I don't want to help, but we can't afford to lose anything at the Watchtower Palace, so..."
"I understand."
After looking at the archer emblem in the air in surprise, a smile appeared on the red-haired director's face, and then he grabbed Leon's wrist and nodded slightly:
"You have no choice. It is more important to ensure the safety of the Watchtower Palace than to ensure our safety."
"I...ah...thank you for your hard work."
As if he felt a little guilty towards the red-haired director, Director Sagittarius sighed, turned around and prepared to leave. However, after noticing the movement on the other side of the celestial globe, he suddenly turned around with surprise in his eyes.
"Wait! What are you doing?"
Found that the red-haired director was holding Leon's hand and preparing to print on the shooter pattern in the air, the square-faced middle-aged man couldn't help but said anxiously:
"Stop! That's for you! What use can he, a level 3 cleaner, have with my mystical mark?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Sagittarius."
After pulling Leon’s hand and pressing it on the golden lines, the red-haired director shook his head and said:
"Leon is much better than you think. Even if you give me your secret mark, I can't catch up with the Nightmare King. But if you give it to Leon, it might have a miraculous effect!"
"..."
"Forget it, whatever you want!"
After looking at Leon, who had said nothing since just now and had no "aura of a strong man", the square-faced middle-aged man shook his head with disappointment, and directly pulled the curious Pisces director out of the range of the celestial mirror.
Director Taurus, who also looked a little surprised, looked at the small red fork on Leon's collar, and a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes. Then he regained his amiable look and encouraged with a smile:
"Come on, little guy. If you can really help Olivia get through this crisis, I will definitely give you a great gift!"
"..."
"what!"
After the soft flesh on his arm was pinched fiercely, Leon came back to his senses and was shocked all over. Then he hurriedly thanked him:
"Thank you, Lord Taurus. I will try my best!"
"Yes, but remember to be careful. If you really don't have a chance, don't force it. Olivia, you too..."
After telling Leon and the other man to be careful, Director Taurus seemed to remember something, glanced at Leon's face, and then said hesitantly:
"Also...if you still want to drink, once this matter is over, I can send you a batch of wine without the Word Spirit..."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
I didn't expect her to bring this up suddenly. Leon, who was still checking the mystical mark, remembered the spicy wine in the dead world. He couldn't help but blush and waved his hands hurriedly, saying:
"We've quit! We've quit! No more... huh?!"
"Drink! We want to drink!"
"Okay, just wait!"
Looking at Leon whose mouth was forcibly blocked, Director Taurus couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and took the initiative to turn off the celestial globe.
……
That’s great. I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected gain.
After retracting his hand that was covering Leon's mouth and rubbing his shoulder, the red-haired director happily put away the celestial globe and asked with a smile:
"Have you figured out everything about Director Shooter's secret mark?"
After hearing her words, Leon subconsciously looked at the panel.
[Name: Sagittarius Palace Mystic Mark (Mystic, Temporary)]
[Appearance: The mark of a golden centaur holding a longbow. When exposed to the sun, a gorgeous halo like a solar corona will appear, revealing three bright golden arrow patterns.]
[Ability: Can temporarily use the Sagittarius Palace's "Abnormal Enhancement" secret technique]
[Price: Each time an abnormal object is targeted and the Archer's secret technique is used once, one arrow will be consumed. After all three arrows are used up, the temporary abnormal object will disappear on its own] [File: Moved by the belief of Olivia, the director of the Virgin Branch, and feeling guilty for not being able to help, the current Archer Director of the Cleanup Bureau, at the cost of three years of his own life, condensed this secret technique mark that can be used a total of three times.
The effect of the abnormal object locked by this mark will be greatly enhanced the next time it is activated until the end of this use. The specific degree of enhancement is equivalent to the "abnormal enhancement" secret technique released by Director Shooter himself.
[Comment: These are the three life-saving hairs that Sagittarius Bodhisattva exchanged his life for. Monkey, you must cherish them when you use them, and be sure not to use them to strengthen the abnormal objects you forged.]
[Infiltration value: 0.1]
"I guess I have figured it out now..."
After looking at the description in the file that said "at the cost of three years of life", Leon said with a complicated expression:
"In fact, although Director Sagittarius is a bit stubborn and his words sound a bit cold, he seems to be a pretty good person."
"Ah."
After hearing what Leon said, the red-haired chief nodded and said:
"Director Sagittarius has a serious and upright personality and attaches great importance to rules. Although he is not as kind as Mr. Taurus, he is definitely not a bad person. Director Pisces is a little weird, but he can also be trusted.
Or we can say that, except for Aquarius, the remaining eleven directors, although they all have some minor problems, are mostly good. "
"..."
Most of them are pretty good...meaning there are one or even a few that are not so good, or even extremely bad?
After hearing the red-haired chief's implication, Leon, who was somewhat speechless, couldn't help but ask:
“Even directors are not necessarily good people… Director, has the Cleanup Bureau always been so lax over the years?
For example, right now, with the Nightmare King’s invasion being such a big deal, if the director of the Scorpio Bureau doesn’t have a good relationship with you, can you just not come and help? With so many directors in the past, didn’t anyone think of taking care of it properly? "
"It's not that no one wants to manage it, but how?"
The red-haired director sighed upon hearing this, and spread his hands helplessly:
“As for directors, whether or not one can inherit the secret arts depends entirely on one’s qualifications. In many cases in the past, the bureau couldn’t even muster twelve directors. The star palaces and secret arts represented by the directors are one of the most important trump cards in the bureau.
Even if the qualified person is a bad person, it is better to have a director than not. After all, no matter how bad he is, he is still a human being. He will not completely turn to the evil gods and want to destroy the existence of mankind. He will usually stand up at the critical moment. "
"..."
That being said, it is true...
"As for the various branches, it's even more troublesome."
After patting Leon on the shoulder, the red-haired chief continued:
"The cleaners in each branch are basically recruited by the branch director himself, or even trained by him bit by bit. The vast majority of cleaners below the branch director have never been to the headquarters in their entire lives.
They have no channels to contact the headquarters, and the orders they receive are all conveyed by the branch directors. They are not familiar with the situation of the headquarters... For example, if the orders of the headquarters conflict with mine, who will you listen to?"
"This is simple."
Lyon said without hesitation:
"If you haven't drunk, I'll listen to you. If you have drunk, I'll listen to the General Administration."
"..."
Tsk, I should have given another example earlier...
Seeing Leon answering without even a second's hesitation, the red-haired chief rolled his eyes and said unhappily:
“In short, each branch director has great power and a lot of autonomy.
Among them, the director of the non-Ecliptic branch is relatively weak. He can only suppress ordinary true gods with the help of the Star Palace. He is relatively obedient. However, the director of the Ecliptic branch is the same as the director. His Lyon value is between 60 and 70. If the secret technique is not counted, the strength of both sides is basically the same.
As for me, Director Huang Dao, whose maximum Lyon value can exceed 70 points with the blessing of Xinggong, and whose strength is one level stronger than many directors, as long as I don't directly tear my face apart and openly go against the rules of the bureau, the General Administration will have no good way to deal with it. Do you understand?"
"Almost got it."
"Now that you understand, start working."
After leaving a few strands of bright red hair on Leon's shoulders, the red-haired director withdrew his hand, stood up and left the office, walking towards the stairwell.
"Come on, follow me upstairs to get some things. They might be useful when we deal with the Nightmare King later!"
