After the full level, my soft rice system is long overdue

But it doesn't matter, as the old saying goes, there are specializations in the art industry.

Although Shire doesn't know anything about the Iron Moon Cult's information, there are always people who know.

"I just hope that while the Shadow Council develops a side job, it doesn't lose its old business."

……

As the king of the dark world in the Western Continent, the Shadow Council is said by many councils to be one of the three major powers in the Western Continent that can be compared with the Holy See of Dawn and the Black Tower. It has always maintained a sense of mystery that is unpredictable.

The Shadow Council's stronghold in the imperial capital, Shire, has also been there before. The stronghold is located in a tavern, the entrance is hidden and unusual, and there are layers of verification.

Inside, a small secondary plane was opened up with an expensive space-stabilizing magic circle for transactions. Ordinary extraordinary people need to be introduced by acquaintances to be eligible to enter it.

And the content of the transaction is also extremely high in gold, from the information of the legendary powerhouse, to the first-hand information on the struggle of the nobles in a certain kingdom, and even the legendary weapons have appeared as auction items in the Shadow Council auction.

It can be said that as long as a sufficient price is paid, there is almost nothing that cannot be obtained in the Shadow Council.

and so--

What is going on with this magnificently decorated building with a height of more than ten floors?

Charles rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had misremembered the address.

A golden plaque hangs high above the main entrance of the building. In the upper left corner are four artistically processed large characters of "Shadow Group", and in the lower right corner is a line of small characters such as "Sierxue Educational Counseling Institution".

Below the plaque is a big red banner - "Don't let your child lose at the starting line."

Charles walked into the hall.

"Mom, I don't want to learn arcane arts."

"Hey, how can you pass the entrance examination and enter a good Enlightenment Academy if you don't learn arcane arts?"

"If you don't enter a good Enlightenment Academy, how can you enter the Empire's key Intermediate Extraordinary Academy? If you don't go to a key middle school, how will you stand out in the assessment of the Higher Academy?"

"If you don't enter the eight best high-level extraordinary academies in the Western Continent, how can you enter the Black Tower and become a decent wizard after graduation?"

On the right side of Charles, a pair of noble mother and son are tugging. The mother watched her child speak earnestly.

"If you don't enter the Black Tower to become a wizard, you can only be the most ordinary warrior or knight like your uncle, and you can't make a lot of money every day in disgrace."

And on Shire's left, a group of employees wearing the same uniforms, who should be internal employees, are neatly arranged in two rows.

A Transcendent who seems to be the management is lecturing to the two rows of staff: "According to the information from the headquarters, it seems that the Golden Deer Chamber of Commerce is also preparing to organize a Transcendent education tutoring class, and the name seems to be called New West."

"Everyone said, can we tolerate those profiteers from the Golden Deer Chamber of Commerce stealing the cake from our Shadow Council?"

The two rows of staff answered loudly and abnormally: "No!"

"What's our slogan?"

"Down with the Golden Deer Chamber of Commerce, the world belongs to the shadows!"

"Okay, very energetic! Starting from today, in order to cope with the impact of the Golden Deer Chamber of Commerce, our working hours will be advanced by one hour, and our off-duty hours will be postponed by one hour, and weekends will be changed from double breaks to single breaks."

"This overtime change in our group is based on the principle of voluntariness and is never forced. If you have any objections to this adjustment, you can raise it now."

The manager waited for a few seconds and found that no one spoke, so he nodded with satisfaction: "Very well, it can be seen that everyone has a sense of collective honor and a feeling of giving up our family for everyone."

"The Shadow Group is not yours, nor mine, but all of us, and we need to take care of it like a home."

"When everyone is struggling, don't ask what the group can do for you, but ask what you can bring to the group."

"There were many people who betrayed the group, and I gave them [-] gold coins directly."

"I gave [-] gold coins to those who betrayed the group, so there will be millions of people who will be loyal to the group in the future—"

"Understand the applause!"

clap clap-

There was applause all over the place.

Why do these words sound so familiar to you——

Listening to the familiar sentence, Charles fell into deep thought.

Soon, he dug out the memories from a few years ago from his mental ocean.

At that time, it seemed that at a symposium of the major legends and high-level forces in the Western Continent, the leader of the Shadow Council—the legendary "Queen of the Night" complained.

It is said that the value of intelligence and information inside the Shadow Council is too high, so external forces often send spies in, or tempt internal employees to leave with important information, which makes her, the leader, very disturbed.

So, at that time, I casually made a few suggestions, introduced a few words about wolf culture, what is a disadvantage is a blessing, how much money you have spent determines how much tolerance you have, what kind of blessings and other words.

But I didn't expect that the speaker had no intention and the listener had intention. After a few years, it was actually used by the Queen of Shadows.

And looking at the effect, it seems to be quite good.

Unexpectedly, the master of success is actually myself.

Chapter 27 The Water Is Too Deep

"Student, judging by your age, you should be still preparing for the entrance examination of the Higher Extraordinary Academy... Do you want to take the academic ability test first?"

After Charles entered the hall, someone warmly greeted him soon.

He looked at Shire's face, and began to introduce the education and counseling business to Shire.

"Our Shadow Group has achieved a lot in the entrance examination of the Imperial Higher Extraordinary Academy. A total of more than 260 people have successfully enrolled, and eight people have been favored by the instructors of the academy. Sex is trustworthy."

"Another classmate, I can also tell you an inside news about our group."

The man suddenly lowered his voice.

"Your Majesty Shire, the Deputy Tower Master of the Black Tower, you should know, right? Almost all the textbooks in the School of Magic are written by His Majesty Shire."

"And when he appeared in the entrance examination of the Extraordinary Academy not long ago, His Majesty Shire suddenly appeared and gave a live lecture to the candidates present."

"It's just that the materials of that lecture are extremely scarce. We are the only tutoring institutions on the market that have copies."

"However, if you buy our elite class courses, you have the right to use our exclusive information. This is a precious information that many high-ranking wizards flock to. If you miss this village, there will be no such store."

The other party was obviously a cultural person who had read the books of the Black Tower, and even quoted one of the catchphrases.

Charles asked with interest: "How much does your elite class cost?"

"72 classes a year, the total cost is 660 six imperial gold coins."

The other party glanced at Charles, and added: "However, we can sign a contract. If the assessment fails, 70.00% of the tuition fee can be refunded."

I didn't expect my class to be so valuable.

If I knew it was so profitable, I might as well sell my own lessons.

Charles sighed in his heart that education and training is indeed a profiteering industry, and said: "In addition to tutoring classes, your Shadow Council should have other serious businesses."

The employee put away his previous business smile: "May I ask where the customer learned about it..."

Snapped--

The employee reached out and caught a metal plate thrown by Ciel.

"Steel-level adventurer!"

The employee couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.

"Please wait a moment inside, I will ask the supervisor for instructions."

He respectfully led Charles into a secret door.

Then, he hurried to the staff passage beside him, and reported the situation to the director of the Shadow Council in the imperial capital using the sound transmission spar.

On the other side, the supervisor couldn't help frowning for a while after listening to the report of his employees.

A steel-level adventurer, the highest level in the rating system of the Adventurer's Guild.

Any steel-rank adventurer can almost be said to be a living legend, having written his own prestigious reputation as an adventurer.

Of course, that's all there is to it.

As a behemoth in the film world of the Western Continent, the Shadow Council was not the first time to receive guests of this level, so it wouldn't make him so cautious.

However, the problem is-

As far as he knows, there is only one steel-ranked adventurer in the Imperial Capital of Alan at this moment, except for the old faces who are resident in the Imperial Capital——

Moreover, that person had just appeared in the Imperial Higher Extraordinary Academy not long ago.

Thinking of this, the sweat on the director's rich face instantly couldn't stop falling.

"Why did he come here? Could it be that he came here to collect patent fees because he knew that we secretly recorded his demonstration screen in the light curtain to sell as teaching aids?"

"But our tutoring agency is not the only one doing this. It stands to reason that in his capacity, he wouldn't come here on purpose..."

"Could it be—"

The brain of the director of the Shadow Council is running at full speed.

Then, he suddenly recalled some details that he had forgotten deep in his memory.

It was a high-level meeting within the Shadow Parliament. At that time, they were troubled by the endless spies and employee job hopping in the Parliament.

However, at that meeting, their leader, the queen of the night, had successfully learned speech skills, which made the high-level officials suddenly enlightened.

In just a few years, the entire Shadow Council has been built into an indestructible business empire with an overwhelming sense of belonging and loyalty among its employees.

And at the end of that meeting, some high-level officials asked the leader where did such a horrific dragon-slaying technique come from.

At that time, their leader just smiled lightly: "Well, you have to thank that Shire from the Black Tower."

Originally, the supervisor didn't take this matter to heart. After all, they are both one of the few legendary powerhouses in the Western Continent. It is not surprising that Charles and the leader know each other.

But thinking about it now, combined with Shire's initiative to come to the door——

The leader's shallow smile at that time seemed to suddenly become meaningful.

As the supervisor of the management education and training business, he is also a cultural person who likes to read on weekdays.

And in the romance novels in the Heita Bookstore, when describing the underground relationship between the male and female protagonists whose positions and identities are opposite, don’t they all use this kind of "smile, everything is said" to describe it?

hiss--

The supervisor gasped at his discovery.

The leader has been in charge of the Shadow Council for at least a hundred years, and if he remembers correctly, His Majesty Shire is only 25 or six years old this year.

This is a pure old cow eating young grass.

If this kind of eye-popping news is sold in the Shadow Council, at least it will be worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, which is a super big headline.

But the next moment, the supervisor calmed down.

Then, he slapped himself hard.

Out of professional instinct, the supervisor subconsciously began to estimate the value of this information, so much so that he even forgot who he was working under.

If I really dare to sell this information and offend the second one of the three major powers in the Western Continent, then unless I immediately jump to the Church of Dawn, I am afraid that the entire Shadow Council and even the Western Continent will find no such person the next day up.

Moreover, according to the channels of the Holy See of Dawn, Sylvia, the Saintess of Dawn, seems to have a very unusual relationship with Charles... Even if I really change jobs and go to the Church of Dawn, I am afraid that I may not be safe and sound.

hiss--

The supervisor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, carefully restrained the restless professional instinct in his heart, and then dialed the special line to the headquarters.

The water inside is too deep, for a little man like him, it is a slide that he can't even touch.

Just do your job well with peace of mind.

Maybe he can gain the appreciation of the leader, and maybe be promoted to the regional director of the entire empire.

Chapter 28 Odd to Even

Inside the secret door is the secondary plane opened by the Shadow Council.

After arriving here, Charles felt a lot more familiar.

Most of the guests in the secondary planes covered their faces to conceal their identities. Those who had no money just covered themselves with a piece of black cloth, and those who had money wore masks with magic props that could conceal fluctuations in magic power.

Shire, who didn't have a mask, has become an outlier here, and many people have cast their eyes on him.

However, without the legend, obviously no one can see through the "self-disciplined cognitive distortion" and "double phantom" that Ciel solidified on himself.

So after they couldn't see Shire's origin, those guests also turned their eyes back one after another.
