Chapter 62

Under the persistent pursuit of the paparazzi, Da Fei swaggered to the Saint Paul Naval Department, brandished the letter, and the guard immediately let him in.

The paparazzi couldn't help but exclaim, "Just coming out of the Duke's mansion and he can enter the military department? This is insane!"

Hahaha! Did you see that? I'm the one who's insane! Want to mess with me? Go ahead, you'll definitely end up as the director of the top ten youth poverty alleviation office.

"Stop! No unauthorized personnel allowed!"

Huh? Da Fei turned around in surprise and saw that Katelina was being stopped by the guards. There's such a ridiculous rule? Da Fei could only say to his beloved, who was equally surprised, "Wait for me at the hotel."

Katelina chuckled, "Sure, Captain."

Hmph, I won't give you paparazzi the chance to harass my beloved. "Wait for me at the hotel," I can finally say such a cool line. Haha.

Guided by the guards, Da Fei arrived at the officer registration desk.

A fat, arrogant officer was sitting at a large desk. He glanced at Da Fei and snorted, "Which unit are you from?"

Da Fei took out the letter and handed it over, "A high-ranking official recommended me."

The officer coldly snorted and snatched the letter, tearing it open while sternly saying, "I don't care who recommended you. Once you're here, you must follow orders. Otherwise, you'll know what military law is like—"

The fat officer's voice suddenly stopped. He stared at the letter for a while, then stared at Da Fei for a while.

Da Fei sneered inwardly, did my background shock you? Still acting tough? Come on, clean my shoes! The feeling of relying on power is truly satisfying! Hahaha!

"Hmph!" The officer straightened up and said sternly, "From now on, you are a registered intern lieutenant. In any case, you should be clear about your background and be strict with yourself. Don't disgrace that high-ranking official or damage his reputation, or—military law will deal with you!" He then threw a shoulder badge on the table.

Da Fei was startled! Not only did he not clean my shoes, but he also put me in a difficult position. Is this a seasoned old veteran? Forget it, I'm an outsider, I won't bother with this guy.

Da Fei said, "You're right, sir—"

The fat officer shouted, "Who's being playful with you! Address me as 'sir'! You need to understand, this is the military!"

What the heck, why are you so strict!

Da Fei saluted, "Yes, sir!"

"Idiot! It's the other hand!"

Damn! Da Fei had to switch hands, "Yes, sir!"

What the hell! Regularization? Forget it, I'd rather be a pirate and throw you, this fat pig, into the sea to feed the turtles than join your regular army! Are you intentionally making things difficult? But, directly making me a commander would be fine.

The fat officer finally said, "You have a mission from a high-ranking official. Take your rank and get to work."

—System Notice: You have obtained the rank of intern lieutenant in the Navy of the Light Alliance. Your leadership has temporarily increased by 100.

—Newbie Notice: Military ranks and positions can significantly boost your leadership, but the leadership boost from ranks and positions is a fixed value and is not affected by hero classes, leadership skills, or items.

Da Fei continued to salute, "Sir, I want to find the logistics officer, Lady Tabia."

The fat officer was taken aback, "Logistics officer? Lady? Is there such a person?" He then laughed, "Go to the cafeteria."

"Yes, sir!"

Guided by the guards, Da Fei arrived at the back yard of the military department. Among a group of people slaughtering pigs, washing vegetables, and chopping wood, he found the Lady Tabia, a church-born woman, as Makal had mentioned. He was stunned!

What the heck! I thought she would be a beautiful paladin or a beautiful priest, but she's a short, fat aunt! No, a female dwarf aunt! This, this, this, she's clearly a cook, is this the logistics officer Makal mentioned? But how could Makal, such a big figure, know such a minor character? Is this aunt powerful? She doesn't have a halo, she's just a regular NPC, not even a hero?

"Tabia, someone is looking for you!"

The short, fat aunt turned around impatiently, "Speak quickly, I'm busy!"

Da Fei took out the letter, "This is from a high-ranking official."

"What high-ranking official!" The short, fat aunt impatiently snatched the letter. Suddenly, her barrel-like body trembled! Her expression, the tears in her eyes—What the heck! Old man, your taste?

The short, fat aunt came to her senses and waved, "Come to the warehouse!"

In the warehouse filled with food, the short, fat aunt asked in a trembling voice, "What does the high-ranking official want?"

Sigh, is it really necessary to be so excited? I'm not interested in your gossip, let's get to the point.

Da Fei said, "The high-ranking official asks you to help me enter the Convent of the Holy Mother to find a nun hero."

The short, fat aunt was startled, "Take you into the Convent of the Holy Mother? Impossible! No man has ever entered the Convent of the Holy Mother in its 600-year history! Not even the emperor!"

Da Fei was surprised, "Ah? But the high-ranking official said you are from the church?"

The short, fat aunt sighed, "I was saved from a shipwreck as a child by a kind high-ranking official and was raised in the convent. I was then assigned to work here. My job is to deliver vegetables to the convent. How can someone like me complete the high-ranking official's request?" Her voice choked, "I, I am too useless, I can't even repay the high-ranking official..."

Hey, hey, hey, don't cry, it's not the old man's fault, it's my fault for being so difficult!

Da Fei hesitated for a moment. Old man, you're too unreliable. You, a high-ranking official, can't handle this and ask a short, fat aunt for help? —Wait! Delivering vegetables?

Da Fei's heart skipped a beat. Could the old man mean to sneak in while delivering vegetables? What the heck! This is the only way, when the high-level approach fails, it's time for underhanded tactics!

Da Fei asked urgently, "How do you deliver the vegetables?"

The short, fat aunt said, "I deliver a cart every day. The convent has over a thousand people."

A cart! That's it!

Da Fei chuckled, "I have a plan. Sneak me into the vegetables and transport me in."

The short, fat aunt was surprised, "But they check very strictly, especially the gatekeeper, Yumina, who checks even the bottom of the cart."

Da Fei was surprised, "Yumina, you mean the old lady at the gate?"

The short, fat aunt hurriedly shook her head, "She is the 36th Holy Maiden, extremely powerful. There are very few such strong people in the entire Light Alliance. Even the high-ranking official might not be her match!"

—What the heck! That old lady is a Holy Maiden! The image of a Holy Maiden in Da Fei's mind instantly collapsed!

Da Fei calmed down, "I have a master-level reconnaissance skill and can learn the disguise skill right away. This should work, right?"

The short, fat aunt was surprised, "Master-level? No wonder you were sent by the high-ranking official." She then frowned, "But even with a master-level skill, on such a small cart—anyway, I will argue with her to distract her, hoping we can get through."

Da Fei was delighted, "That's great!"

The short, fat aunt added, "Once you successfully sneak in, you must hide and not wander around. I won't stay in the cafeteria for long, and I can't wander around. When unloading, there will be rotating nuns to help, so we can only find someone among the helpers. This won't be done in a day or two, you must be prepared to hide for a few days, as I come every day."

Da Fei nodded, "Understood." With my master-level reconnaissance skill, how many people can match me in the world?

The short, fat aunt nodded, "I have worked in the convent's cafeteria since childhood and know most of the nuns. What is the name of the one you're looking for?"

Good, that's helpful. Da Fei said happily, "Her name is Serbia!"

The short, fat aunt was taken aback and shook her head, "There is no one by that name!"

What? Is the diary just nonsense? Da Fei was shocked, "How can there be no one?"

The short, fat aunt shook her head, "Nuns don't use that name. They might have used it before, but once they enter the convent, they change their names to angelic names like 'na,' 'sha,' 'er,' etc."

What the heck, this is already like a thief, and now I don't even know the name. The difficulty is so high, it's almost making me go crazy?

Forget about whether the diary is reliable, even if she is a hero, what can a 15-year-old girl do? Is it worth it for me to go through all this trouble? Yes, it's worth it. I'm bored anyway, what else can I do?

Da Fei took out the flute, "This might be the only token. She might recognize it!"

The short, fat aunt nodded, "I see. Okay, I'll take it. I'll make sure she sees it. Get ready, I'm going to deliver the vegetables right away."

"No problem!" Da Fei took out the reconnaissance skill book, and a golden light flashed.

—System Notice: You spent 1 skill point to learn the sub-skill "Disguise" of the reconnaissance skill.
