"roll!"

  Flower slapped the crispy roast chicken in front of him with a big fan.

   In the simply decorated hall of the Inspection Office, Barney stood where he was. He watched Flower's huge body disappear at the end of the hall, with a stunned expression on his face.

   It was already the second day that Colin came to the inspection office, and he came a little late today.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Barney flatteringly walking towards Flower with a plate of roast chicken... It seemed as he thought, because Barney couldn't wait for him, he had to go to Flower first. I bought food.

   But Colin didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

  Barney stood there dumbfounded with an empty plate, looking a little desolate in combination with the roast chicken that fell on the ground and his dazed expression.

   "Oh, what an idiot."

   At this moment, a female voice suddenly came from the right side. The voice was gentle and sweet, which somehow made Colin feel a little familiar.

   Barney, who was not far away, turned blue and red when he heard the words, and finally reacted.

   he turned his head and asked sharply.

   "Regana, what do you mean?!"

  Colin followed his gaze to the right.

  Behind the red wooden table by the glazed window, a young woman about eighteen or nineteen was sitting on a chair, flipping through a thick book.

   She is not outstanding in appearance, just ordinary. But she has a quiet temperament. Although she looks only eighteen or nineteen years old, she feels like an older big sister. A pure black cat lying lazily in her arms added a little mystery to her.

  Regana continued to flip through the book in her hand, without raising her head, she just said lightly:

   "Next time, if you want to please others, remember to inquire about the information first... Whoever the wizard leads the patrol team does not know that Mr. Flower is overeating for a week and anorexia for a week.

  ...Yeah, I almost forgot that you're not from the Patrol, you're just an untalented person assigned to the Guard..."

   She raised her head slightly and looked at Barney.

   "...Idiot."

  Barney suffocated when he heard the words, and finally understood, his face was ugly.

   But he doesn't think it's his own problem.

The    Inspection Division has just been established. Not only are there members of the original guard team, but also some members of the wizard-led patrol team have been recruited.

   He is from the guards in Blackrock City, and Flower is from the patrols in the wizard's collar on the mountain. It's normal to have some things that you don't understand, but Regana clearly knows...

   A burst of shame and anger suddenly surged in his heart, his face twisted, and he scolded:

   "You already knew, why didn't you remind me?! I'm your vice-captain!"

   "Oh, the vice-captain who begged for mercy by wagging his tail?"

   Regana sighed, feeling a little speechless.

   She put down the book, raised her head slowly, stared at Barney, and said word by word, "Mr. Flower is just too lazy to take care of chores, you vice-captain... just a servant who handles chores."

   said here, her tone changed and became cold:

   "Also, where did you have the courage to talk to me like this... Are you imagining that you were commanding me to do things as your vice-captain, just like last time?

   Could it be that the lessons learned last time were not enough? "

   As she spit out every word, the black cat that was lying on her lap suddenly opened her green eyes and jumped onto the carpet.

  It gracefully stepped on the floor and stepped forward, rising against the wind, and in an instant, it changed from a black cat with short arms to a leopard-shaped ferocious beast with fangs and teeth more than two meters high.

Roar!

   A low roar came from its throat and echoed throughout the hall.

   "You!" Barney's face turned white at first, then instantly flushed red, panting violently, but in the end he didn't say anything, just silently turned around and left here.

  Wizards have always respected their strength. He had already experienced Regana's power last time, and naturally he didn't want to ask for it again.

  Barney passed Colin with his head down and walked out of the inspection office.

  Colin retracted his gaze, ready to find a place to sit and rest.

   He also understood that this Barney was just a jumping clown who thought he was on Flower's thigh.

   But in fact, neither Flower nor anyone else took him seriously.

   The so-called vice-captain is not a position set up by the inspection department at all, and there is a high probability that it was just a casual remark by Flower.

   has no power to order them at all…

   "...Did I see you somewhere?"

   Just as he was about to go to sit at the table on the left by the window, Regana suddenly stopped him.

  Colin turned around. At this time, the black cat gradually returned to its original size and jumped back to Regana's lap, forming a ball.

   If it weren't for this otherworldly world, he would take this sentence as an old-fashioned approach.

  But he doesn't now, looking at Regana, frowning slightly.

   He also felt that Regana in front of him was somewhat familiar.

   "You are... Colin?" Regana looked at him for a while and asked uncertainly.

   At this time, Colin finally remembered Regana in the corner of his mind.

  Regana is an apprentice at the same time as him, but he is more talented than him. In the fourth year, he has successfully advanced to an intermediate apprentice.

   He hadn't seen her for almost six years.

  I haven't seen it for six years, and my impression has long been blurred, so it's no wonder that I can't remember it for a while.

   "I didn't expect you to advance too, congratulations." Regana said calmly.

   remembered who Colin was and solved her doubts, she also lost interest in Colin.

   "Thank you, it's not long since I advanced."

   Colin also nodded politely and answered, sitting on the chair by the window on the left.

   The work of the inspection team on weekdays is mainly to come here in rotation for two days a week, and then patrol once a night.

   Now it seems that Regana should work on the same day as him.

   On duty, unless the subordinate guards come to report, there is generally nothing to do.

  The hall fell silent for a while.

   Only the sound of each of them rustling through books.

   After a while, Regana suddenly asked:

   "Does Barney rely on his identity as the vice-captain to instruct you to do things?"

"…Have."

  Colin answered hesitantly, with some doubts in his heart.

"Barney is just a stupid villain, there is no need to ignore him." Regana laughed, then changed her tone, "However, wizards respect their strength, if you can't beat him... then you can only be honest follow orders..."

  Colin frowned silently and did not answer.

  Regana glanced at him and added: "I mean, I can help you... Of course, not for free, just need some compensation."

   "The reward is not much...just five magic stones."

  Regana put down the book, stroked the smooth fur of the black cat in her arms, and looked at Colin calmly.

   In order to earn enough magic stones to feed these little cuties every month, she was heartbroken. So much so that she was unwilling to give up any chance to earn magic stones.

'I see. ’

  Colin finally understood the reason for Regana's opening, he paused, and replied mildly and politely:

   "Thank you, I will come to you if I need it."

   "Well, welcome anytime." Regana also nodded gently.

  Although Colin did not directly agree, it was somewhat unexpected.

   But she just asked casually, it’s natural to be able to do this business, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t.

  Regana lowered her head and continued to read.

  Empty streets after curfew, guards patrolling with lanterns.

  Colin stood on the watchtower, which was obviously higher than the nearby buildings, and watched them slowly pass from below, go away, and finally turned into a short line of light.

   Watchtowers like this are dotted in a mesh throughout Blackrock City, one every few blocks.

  He stood here, and he had a panoramic view of everything around him. The constant low-light vision on the watchtower assisted the witch formation, which also made him not afraid of the night, and could clearly distinguish all the changes around him.

   It is now his fifth day on the inspection team. According to the schedule, it is his turn to be on duty at night.

   These days, in order to better cope with these weird things, he has suspended other witchcraft practices.

   In addition to practicing solar breathing every day, I practice the two witchcraft of detecting evil and purifying evil energy.

   has also successfully practiced detecting evil to 64/100 and purifying evil energy to 61/100, both reaching the point where they can be instant cast.

   And solar breathing method I also reached 99/100, and it was only a little bit to break the limit again.

  Colin silently looked around.

   Everything is peaceful and serene.

  ' No wonder Barney doesn't care so much about his day job. ' he thought silently.

  Since Wizard Rapp came to this island and set up a guard team, the number of strange evil spirits in Blackrock City has been decreasing day by day, and now it is rare to hear that there are evil spirits that cause heavy casualties.

   But he was a little uneasy.

   He didn't think it was useless for Wizard Rapp and Prester to separate the patrol team from the guards.

   Compared to him, Wizard Rapp undoubtedly has more information. The decisions they make will never be pointless.

   What's more, Flower also reminded them of the importance of being on duty two days ago. He must not be taken lightly.
