Chapter 139 Who are you loyal to
Luke took the people to eat and drink in Iskran's exclusive room. One wall of the room led to the performance hall on the first floor outside. From here, you could clearly see the opera being performed on the stage.
The hall was packed with seats, both men and women dressed in formal attire, quietly watching the performance on the stage.
It’s just that none of the imperial agents obviously know how to appreciate opera. Except for Kylena who was lying on the fence and was fascinated by the story in the play, everyone else focused on the food and drinks.
Sandpaper even grabbed a large piece of barbecue with both hands and started chewing it, as if he hadn't eaten in a few days.
That unbearable experience had a huge impact on her behavior and thinking.
The other spies didn't know much about dining etiquette, and it was their first time to come to Xixisai Palace. Facing the exquisite food and wine, of course they had to eat and drink enough before they could go back and brag.
Therefore, when Viscount Iscolan walked in, he saw the scene in front of him and deliberately exited to see if he had entered the wrong room.
That’s right!
Seeing Escolan's arrival, Luke said to his men: "You go somewhere else to eat. I have something to discuss with the Viscount. Sandpaper... you have eaten too much, go out and do some exercise."
"I haven't eaten yet..." Sandpaper saw the detective winking at him, so he grabbed a towel and wiped the oil stains on his hands and face, then jumped down from the chair and said like a child: "I went out to play...
…”
The spies moved the food on the table outside together.
Viscount Iskran sat down opposite Luke, and the waiter brought red wine and some fruits again.
Then leave and close the door.
Iskran said to Luke: "I have informed the people here. From now on, the detective does not need any reservation to come to Sisisay Palace. If there is no room, just come here. All your expenses here today will be paid by me.
"
Luke grabbed a bunch of grapes and put them in his mouth.
"Thank you, Lord Viscount. Is your work at the Government Affairs Office going well?"
Iskran didn't know what the purpose of Luke's sudden arrival was, so he answered truthfully: "I have just taken office, and many tasks are still being handed over and familiarized. I believe that the city's security department will be able to operate normally soon. Thank you.
The help provided by the detective and the smooth transfer of defense from the Government Affairs Department made my integration into the City Security Department much smoother."
Iskran's thanks were sincere, and he did not expect that the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau would be withdrawn from the Government Affairs Office so simply.
No additional conditions were mentioned, just leave.
It gave the city security department enough face to allow Viscount Iskolan to join the job smoothly.
Luke said: "When I work for the eldest princess, I just want to maintain the stability of Raging Wave City. I have no extra extravagance. I have done what I need to do, so there is no need to disgust others.
I came here this time... to discuss the Temple of the Abyss with Lord Viscount. Many people have gone missing in Cape District during this period, and the number of missing people in other urban areas has also increased. I suspect that it is related to the Abyss Mage.
Your Excellency is now the city security inspector. If we can eradicate the Temple of the Abyss from Raging Waves City under your command, it will definitely be of great help to your next promotion."
Speaking of the Temple of the Abyss, Viscount Isklan couldn't help but frown.
"The Virgil incident caused great damage to the security department of Raging Waves City. Some high-ranking police officers escaped, and the other five secret intelligence agents were transferred by Her Royal Highness the Princess.
There is no way to maintain normal nighttime patrols on many streets.
Even if Oulu College expresses its willingness to help, we must find these abyss mages ourselves. Has the detective found anything?"
Luke didn't answer immediately as he ate his grapes.
Kylena was still immersed in the opera and did not notice the arrival of Viscount Isklan. Perhaps she was enjoying the beautiful memories of the past.
After a while, Luke suddenly asked: "Do you love this city?"
Viscount Iskran didn't know why Inspector Meteor asked such a question. He replied: "Of course, this is my home."
"Would you give your life for this city?"
"Detective, why do you suddenly ask these questions?" Such a heavy question made Iscolan very confused.
"Answer me first!"
Iscolan replied: "Of course! This city was built on the land that my ancestors guarded. It is the responsibility of the Iscolan family to protect it!
Detective, what do you mean by this...?"
"How do you protect it?"
Viscount Iskran thought for a moment and found that he could not give a complete answer.
Luke said: "This land existed before the arrival of the Iskran family, and it will still exist after the Iskran family is destroyed. It does not need anyone's protection.
This city belongs to the empire, and if the Iskran family wants to protect this city, they must first protect the empire."
"The Iskran family is loyal to the empire. This is the promise made by the Iskran ancestors to the Golden Shield royal ancestors."
"Then let me see the loyalty of the Iskran family to the empire. The headquarters of the Abyss Temple is hidden in the Tedga Hills, and the Abyss Mage has received the protection of the Celtic Duke.
Now the Abyss Mage has deployed a secret blood sacrifice technique somewhere in Raging Waves City. At least hundreds or more citizens of Raging Waves City have been killed by them. As long as they are not found and eliminated, this number will increase again.
Lord Viscount, do you have any clues you can tell me?"
"This is a false accusation!" Viscount Iskran said angrily.
Iscolan's voice disturbed Kylena. She turned around and saw the detective talking to Viscount Iscolan, and immediately came behind Luke in a panic.
"I'm sorry, Inspector."
Luke casually waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter, and said to Iskran across the table: "We have been looking for Elf Clear Sky for so many days and can't find it, because she has the protection of Mrs. Mihir. There are more Abyss mages, but still
There is no trace of them, which proves that they are under the patronage of some big shot.
Don't doubt the intelligence gathering capabilities of the Secret Intelligence Service.
The main body of the Abyss Temple is located in Tedga Hills, and the Abyss Mage is hiding in Raging Waves City under the protection of the Celtic Duke.
The Duke wants to get the Book of Disaster, he wants to embrace the abyss and gain the power of the abyss."
"What evidence do you have?"
Luke looked at the pale face of Viscount Iskran and said with a smile: "Your expression is the evidence... What makes our Viscount so gloomy?
at this point!
Who do you want to be loyal to? Who do you want to protect?
As a member of the Blade Bearing Brotherhood, who do you point your sword at?"
The sudden blow and difficult decision made Viscount Isklan's eyes bloodshot and turned red, and the uncontrollable magic power rippled through the room, causing the airflow to surge.
Kylena pulled out the magic wand and pointed it at Iskran, her hand shaking violently due to nervousness.
Iskran asked Luke: "Who are you? Who are you?"
Luke replied calmly: "I am Detective Meteor from the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau. I am your Majesty's personal soldier and a subordinate of the eldest princess.
Lord Viscount, what is your answer to me?"
