The Sage of Einar

Chapter 357: Presentation of a spy

Henry, the former spy of the Frank empire, looked with pride at the house in front of him. As a second-class citizen, he had the right to a house.

Not only that, in the month that had passed, he had met a beautiful woman who was Scottish and with whom he fell in love.

The woman had beautiful golden hair and had amber eyes that reminded her a lot of honey. That is why he had been trying everything to make her fall in love.

But he realized that it was a somewhat complicated task, so he decided to use his skills as a spy.

With them, he began to ask the people around the woman what he liked and what her preferences were when talking to people.

His experience made a wide difference because of the way he asked and got the information.

They allowed him to ask without looking like a stalker or a person who was trying to do something wrong with the information.

Not only that, but he had also learned many things, such as that the woman was divorced and that her ex-husband had been a drunkard.

Who had been tried for physical violence and sentenced to work in the island’s mercury mine.

These kinds of things did not affect Henry in the least because the love for him was greater than the past that the woman he had fallen in love with had had.

Knowing that the woman liked flowers, he traveled from the village that was to the center of the city of Asgard.

Where once he arrived he can see the beautiful market that had been completed a few days ago. In the market there were hundreds of stalls which were neat and clean.

So, holding a bag of coins, he began to walk towards the bank branch that was near the place.

When he arrived, he formed in line and after a few minutes it was his turn to pass, at which point Henry handed over his bag of coins and his personal identification.

Which was a metal identification that had his full name, age and address, on it was a fingerprint of his thumb.

Those were the second-generation identifications that Einar had begun to make to prevent cases like the death of Minerva or the women.

The woman at the bank smiled and received the ID. With it, she looked at the name and address.

So after this she looks for a population registry book and she search in surnames until she get to the correct one.

After this, he took it and began to browse until he found Henry’s name, doing all this in order to maintain order and prevent scams or money laundering.

With his pen he wrote a date next to the name ‘May 5, 832 at 3:30 in the afternoon, a change was made from coins to bills.’

After this, the woman took the bag with coins and began to count them patiently. When she finished, she looked at Henry seriously.

“I receive one gold coin, four silver and 60 copper coins.

It’s right?”

Henry nodded, so the woman smiled and took notes of various denominations as well as Nordic copper coins.

After handing him the money, Henry put it in a bag on his chest and went to the market, where he started looking for a flower stand.

It didn’t take long for me to find a market stall with a grown-up lady.

“Good afternoon ma’am I would like to buy a bouquet of your beautiful winter flowers.”

The woman smiled and showed him the beautiful colors of the winter flowers. “What kind of color would you like young?”

Henry put his hand on his chin and looked seriously at all the flowers. “I would like that bouquet of white flowers.”

The lady took them and using a piece of paper she wrapped them very carefully. “It would be 2 Smaragd.”

Henry took the bag from his chest and took out two bills which he handed to the lady. “Thank you very much for your purchase, young man. I hope the woman who is going to give them to you likes winter flowers.

They are a true beauty and young women seem to like them as the empresses married using the winter flowers as ornaments. “

Henry looked fondly at the flowers. “I’m sure you’re going to like it, but now that I think about it, madam, you know where they sell fish sandwiches.

I haven’t eaten since morning so I’m a little hungry. “

The lady nodded and pointed to the left. “Just follow the path and you will reach the food area. It is an extremely clean area and one that the inspectors of the imperial palace check very well.

From what I heard, it is because food must be prepared with great care. “

Henry looked at her gratefully and started walking towards the food court where once he arrived, he looked at all the delicious food in the place.

Burritos, sandwiches, fried fish and an infinity of varied and colorful foods.

The food was something he had fallen in love with since his arrival, as the flavors were varied and tasty.

Especially the mayonnaise sandwiches with fried fish. He considered them a real delicacy on the palate.

When he approached the place that sold sandwiches, he looked at the man who was serving.

“I’d like to order two Fried Fish Sandwiches with mayonnaise.”

The store clerk nodded and began to prepare the food while Henry waited.

It was at that moment that he was able to hear a conversation in a kind of Anglo-Saxon dialect that he could distinguish.

This is because he knew how to speak that variant of Anglo-Saxon, because as a spy he knew how to speak numerous languages.

“The group of tools is collected. We hope that in some days we can start mining the first gold nuggets from the mountain.

We have the routes of the soldiers so we know what time we cannot pass, but we are sure that we can mine enough gold. “

“But why do we need so much gold if we are not really going to use it since the economy is highly controlled? What is it going to do for us?”

“It is quite simple. We will only melt it in our homes and give it a few small strokes, that way we can create jewelry.

We may not be able to sell them to normal people as the quality would be very low, but we can sell them to the bank to get Smaragds.

With that money we could improve our lives a lot, we just have to prevent someone from finding us.

Which will be quite simple because we will not leave clues of our participation in the gold mining that we are going to do clandestinely.

I’m sure it will work, but now that I think about it, what time will our burritos be ready. “

Henry, who was listening discreetly, only smiled, as he had perhaps found a way to prove that as a spy he could function.

How a person who grew up on the street knew what he had to do in order to move up the ranks.

Upon receiving his sandwiches, he paid the clerk at the sandwich shop and sat on a chair while casually glancing at the two men.

They continued talking while enjoying their burritos. Henry took his time to eat.

When he saw that the two men were getting up, he took his bouquet of flowers and carried the garbage to its place before following them.

How a professional spy started following them at a considerable distance, so when they came to a house in the suburbs of Asgard city.

Henry only smiled because he already knew where the gold thieves were. He only needed evidence to be able to report them and get a chance to join the eye of Odin.

The island’s spy organization that he had heard about many times.

Because he had nothing to do in that place, he went to his town where he lived because he had to take the flowers to the woman he loved.

After almost half an hour of walking, he arrived at the town of Fjolnir, a beautiful town where about 1,300 people lived and which was located north of the city of Asgard.

Upon arrival, he began to walk to the beautiful woman’s house and knocked on the door.

In just a few minutes, the door opened and a beautiful woman came out, so Henry smiled. “Good afternoon Beth, I am sorry you look exquisite today.

Would you allow me to give you a bouquet of flowers as beautiful as your beautiful face? “

Beth just laughed and accepted Henry’s bouquet. “It’s exquisite, thank you for the gift Henry.”

Henry smiled and cleared his throat. “I was wondering if you would like to take a walk in the city of Asgard for the night.

Don’t worry, I have permission to carry a sword so I can defend ourselves in case something happens.

What do you say? I think they sell a lot of things at night that I’m sure you will love? “

Beth smiled and fondly sniffed the flowers. “Since you wish we can go on a date but you don’t mind that I’m divorced, a lot of men don’t like the idea of ​​being with a woman like me.”

Henry shook his head. “You didn’t choose your husband, but you are an exquisite woman. I wouldn’t mind going out with you.”

“Very well. We will meet at night. What do you think about 7 at night?”

Henry nodded and bowed. “You can be sure I’ll be on time for our date.”
