Finally, Ronald felt that the most tense moment of his day was coming.

Although he now has a considerable amount of money, he still feels guilty when it comes to the most important knowledge of the mysterious side.

After all, it is this type of requirement.

After today, I won’t be able to afford the rent for the next month, right?

Just as Ronald controlled his expression and prevented his nervousness from coming out, the old man also spoke.

With a friendly smile on his face, he looked at Ronald in front of him and said:

"Mr. Ronald, you must know that our [Book Research Society] is an organization that is loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, so I won't keep it."

“It’s actually very simple for you to gain knowledge.”

“Just join us.”

“【Book Research Society】 can help you gain knowledge and also help you gain benefits.”

However, at this point, the old man suddenly changed his tone:

"Of course, if you don't want to join us, then there's no way to talk about this cooperation."

"You can leave."

The old man's face was indifferent. When he stated this, his attitude was very firm and almost unstoppable.

Listening to the old man's explanation, Ronald showed an understanding expression on his face, and then nodded calmly.

This is his purpose today, so naturally there is no reason to refuse.

Although he knew that this might cause some trouble, Ronald had to admit that the historical records collected by the official forces absolutely had this value.

Thinking of this, Ronald looked at the old man in front of him carefully.

This is an old man who completely does not notice the breath of magic.

But instinctively, Ronald felt an inexplicable sense of mystery from him, and he was also a strong man.

This is the [Book Research Society] that serves the Queen...

At the same time, when the old man saw Ronald's reaction, he was naturally very happy.

This is an original holder!

For their organization, joining a person who holds the original text is definitely very good news. An existence with knowledge and experience can take their research further as long as they communicate well.

Elatedly, the old man stood up from the chair:

"very good."

"【Book Research Association】I welcome you to join."

"Mr. Ronald, you can rest assured."

"We will definitely try our best to meet any of your requirements."

Seeing Ronald listening to his explanation without complaint, the old man took out a card and handed it over:

"This is our certificate, and you can complete the verification by injecting your own magic."

"As long as you hold this in the future, you can prove that you are a member of the [Book Research Society], and I believe you will definitely use it."

Ronald nodded and responded, and took the card at the same time.

A black card sized card with only some decorative stripes on it, and no information can be seen.

According to the old man, Ronald tried to inject the magic of strengthening the body of the "Divine Comedy" into it, and a back holding a book and wearing a red dress appeared on the black card immediately.

“Okay, the verification is very successful.”

Seeing this scene, the old man immediately nodded happily:

"But in this case, it's time for us to talk in a different place."

While speaking, the old man clapped his palms, and the bookshelf in the room immediately opened a cracked passage and went straight to the underground.

"Mr. Ronald, come with me."

"I will introduce myself by the way. I am Oppenheim Shelley. Just call me Old Shelley."

While speaking, Oppenheim was the first to enter the passage.

Ronald followed him and stepped into the passage.

The passage is very quiet, with long strips of luminous objects of unknown material on both sides providing lighting, and the entire passage also extends very clearly downward.

The mysterious person.

I really like to drill under the ground...

Thinking of this in my heart, Ronald followed the old man to the depths of the passage.

The length of the channel is not too far.

After a while, Ronald saw a light appearing in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a downward stone stair passage appeared in front of him. Although it was not very spacious, it was very flat and stable.

"This is our place. I am a book researcher. You are also a researcher with your ID. You should know that the books in our laboratory are confidential, so don't leak them."

Ronald nodded to express his understanding:

"I see."

Walk down the stone steps and look around. The space hidden underground in the library was excavated quite spaciously, and there are columns around to maintain the stability of the space.

Around the stone spiral ladder that came down, six deep passages were excavated in different directions, and the space itself also housed a large number of bookcases, with a large number of books and materials preserved almost on both sides of the entrance of each passage.

At the same time, Oppenheim's explanation continues:

"This is our institute. All the books and materials in it are kept by us. The six channels correspond to the information collected from the six continents on this planet."

"You can read it here, just don't break the books and materials inside."

After saying this, the old man took the lead in walking towards one of the tunnels:

"Let's go, let's sign a contract."

"In order to ensure that we can work happily together in the future."

So the two continued to go deeper, and walked into one of the offices along a tunnel that extended past the underground space.

He took Ronald into the room, and the old man skillfully found a contract letter from the office.

Although the white paper is not large in size, it is full of magic power.

It's obvious.

This is a contract with magical effect.

The old man took the initiative to write his name on the contract, and then handed it to Ronald.

"Come and have a look."

“…”

After taking the contract, Ronald looked at it carefully.

The contract letter describes an agreement about knowledge and wealth, while the above terms are simple and direct and detailed, without hiding contract traps or other things.

After reading it, Ronald placed the contract book on the table.

Watching Ronald's movements, the old man asked:

"How do you feel after reading it?"

Ronald nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face.

He did not speak, but simply reached out and stroked the contract according to the way he had learned from the Bureau of Investigation. The magic left a mark on the paper, and the contract was considered to be.

Oppenheim got up again and took out another one...

No, it should be said to be a thick stack of contracts.

He put it in front of Ronald with a bang, and he said with a very pleasant look:

"Come on, Mr. Ronald."

"I signed this too."

"This is the work contract of the library administrator of [Weis University]. In order to conceal the identity and facilitate activities, this is also a must."

“…”

I saw this thick stack of work contracts.

Ronald's face stagnated.
Chapter completed!
