Chapter 362: Chapter 361: The Work of the Book Holder

In certain industries,

with the rise of one’s status, the difficulty of their job tends to decrease.

And now, Ronald was clearly experiencing this principle.

When he had signed the contract with Berenwich and Everton, he still needed to provide security protection at weekend exhibitions in the suburbs.

But now...

As a holder of a powerful grimoire, Ronald, after signing the contract with Springs and the Ginkgo Leaf Commercial Alliance, not only enjoyed a substantial remuneration immediately but also found his daily work to be very leisurely.

To be more precise,

he would report to the headquarters of the alliance every day, then sit in his office and do whatever he wanted, and the occasional miscellaneous tasks that cropped up were directly handled by the female assistant provided by the alliance.

"I don’t even have to work, and I still get paid."

"Isn’t this the ideal job I’ve dreamed of..."

In mid-May, Ronald sprawled on his desk, flipping through the books in front of him with a listless gaze.

The Ginkgo Leaf Commercial Alliance, such a super alliance.

Opportunities for someone of his caliber were few and far between. He wasn’t sure if the alliance was paying him for his combat capabilities, or for the deterrent effect of being a grimoire bearer.

Naturally, Ronald himself had no complaints.

He now had access to high-quality intelligence provided by the alliance, a wealth of precious literary resources at his fingertips, and even the three meteorite fragments he had initially negotiated for were all in his possession.

And it didn’t stop there.

With the energy of a large alliance, Ronald had already set the three tiny meteorite fragments in a decorative brooch, and the magical equipment that housed the remaining Angel Abilities from the Heavenly Chapter was also prepared in advance.

Through the "Astronomy Master," the original grimoire, Ronald had acquired three spells.

The first spell was "Star Traction," a flight spell.

.

This flying ability was highly effective but could only be used on himself;

the second spell was called .

In short, it was an ability that expanded the mobility of to targets other than himself.

As for the third spell, it was a power the stars had never used before.

—Star Traction.

This spell’s ability was plain and simple: to pull the spell’s target in a straight line directly in front of oneself.

He experimented with the application and effect of various spells in his spare time.

Such a life, who wouldn’t enjoy it...

As Ronald was lost in such thoughts, his assistant Karin Angulo, assigned by the alliance, walked into his office holding a folder.

With a gentle tap on the desk, the attractive assistant asked,

"Mr. Ronald, do you have any plans for today?"

After some time spent working together,

Ronald and the assistant had come to understand each other to a certain extent.

Thus, maintaining his languid posture, Ronald rested on the desk and turned his head:

"No, I’m completely free on my end."

"Karin, you’re well aware of that, aren’t you?"

"..."

Taking a slight breath, Karin continued:

"It’s my job, Mr. Ronald."

"However, since you’re free, I’ll arrange for you to attend a ribbon-cutting event on the commercial street this afternoon. Staying in the office all the time doesn’t seem to be your style, right?"

I actually quite like it...

Blinking without moving, Ronald nodded in understanding.

Then he continued to ask:

"Right, didn’t I ask the guild to send someone to check on my hometown last time?"

"Was there any result from that?"

This was a request Ronald had made after becoming familiar with the ’work’ of the guild.

Perhaps to demonstrate their importance placed on Ronald himself, the Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance dispatched someone the very next day, heading to the small town on the edge of the Yizi Forest to investigate.

More than ten days had passed.

Ronald figured the person should be about returning to Springs by now, hence his inquiry.

In response to this question, assistant Karin promptly shook her head:

"I apologize, Mr. Ronald."

"They have not yet returned, but the branch office in Berenwich has already sent a telegram indicating they have boarded the train back. If everything goes as expected, you will be able to see the corresponding investigation report in three days."

Ronald sat up straight and then thanked her earnestly:

"Thank you for your trouble, Karin."

The female assistant revealed a slight smile, then took out a document from the pile on her hand and placed it on the table:

"It’s my duty."

"This is the detailed information for the event you will attend this afternoon. Please have a look before 2 pm. I have other matters to attend to, so I will not disturb you further."

Ronald immediately picked up the document in front of him:

"I understand."

Watching Ronald’s actions, Karin turned and left the office.

Before leaving, she did not forget to gently close the room’s door.

And Ronald, left in the office, naturally began to look through the work file his assistant had left behind.

Ginkgo Leaf Flower Shop Construction Ceremony

Specific location: Springs City — Organ District — No. 10 Boken Road Exhibition Hall.

Time: 5:30 pm guest admission;

Relevant staff start setting up at 4 pm (Mr. Ronald, it would be best if you arrived around 5 pm);

Estimated end time is before 9 pm.

Event attire: Dress must be sufficiently respectable and suit the needs of one’s job, refrain from wearing blue or purple clothing (Mr. Ronald, please remember to bring your cufflinks).

Seating arrangement: Enter through the main entrance of the flower shop and turn left...

Reading line by line through the document in hand, Ronald couldn’t help but admire:

"Truly meticulous..."

This was originally a standard internal notice within the guild.

However, to make things as convenient for Ronald as possible, Karin had specifically marked the details he needed to pay attention to, and even included a list of important people to note during the event on the last page.

With such detailed introductions and reminders, there was almost no chance of mistakes for the afternoon to evening event.

Such a considerate assistant.

I wonder what the weekly salary is...

Musing over this, Ronald closed the "Broud Coast Exploration Record" he had been reading, put it back in the drawer of the cabinet, and then picked up a pen to write a note reminding others of his whereabouts:

[Going home to change clothes, I will be on time this afternoon.]

Looking at the neat handwriting of this otherworldly script in front of him, Ronald nodded in satisfaction:

"Not bad at all..."

Although language comprehension helped with translation, writing still required practice to be presentable.

After half a year’s time,

Ronald had practiced enough to handle most situations in this world’s mainstream writing, bringing reassurance.

Casually summoning the black mist of ’Fury’s’ power,

Ensuring there was a reasonable range of safety surveillance around himself, Ronald then left the office contentedly.

Which suit should I wear for the event tonight...
