Chapter 155: The Reformers (4000)(1/2)
Erguya sat back down and watched the opera on the stage with Viscount Iscolan in silence. Viscount Iscolan also did not speak, and his expression seemed to be immersed in the magnificent history.
In this epic, the family that can survive to the end has great natural beauty, but who has noticed that more families have been lost under the wheel of history. The ancestors of the Isklan family are wise and lucky. He chose
Got the right team.
Now! A new epic has begun. Can the Isklan family still stand on the correct track of history this time?
Viscount Iskran didn't know. He only understood how naive and ridiculous he was when he pointed out the merits and demerits of historical figures in the past. If you don't stand in their position, you will never understand what they need to face unknown choices.
Courage and wisdom.
There are losers among those who are qualified to leave their names in history, but there are no mediocre people.
The incident with the Abyss Mage is over, and I must go to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible.
While Viscount Iscolan was taking Erguya to watch the opera, Luke rushed into the battlefield with the imperial agents.
I have to admire the ability of extraordinary strength to demolish buildings. Every room seems to have been bombarded repeatedly by artillery fire. It has only been more than ten minutes since the attack, and a good building is full of collapsed walls.
Luke thought he was on the battlefield in Syria and couldn't even find a complete building when he went upstairs.
Pisco was ordered to hold the flag and lead his people to seize the high ground, so that the onlookers could clearly see the majesty of the Cape District Secret Service. Other spies followed the Oulu Battle Mage to clean the battlefield and collect evidence of the Abyss Mage's crimes.
Luke took Shelley and a dozen spies straight to the northeast corner cellar.
The Abyss Leopard, who had been cut off at the waist, was still lying there. On the stairs going down was a beheaded Abyss mage. Shelley pulled out his gun and lifted the blindfold covering his right eye, revealing the pupil of Medusa and his hands.
He walked down step by step with his gun in hand.
Five Imperial agents followed Shelley into the basement.
After a while, Shelley's voice came up: "Detective, it's safe down there...Director Nishizawa is here, he was seriously injured."
When Luke walked into the basement with the imperial agents who were protecting him, Shelley had already broken through the ice wall and rescued Caesar.
Two spies supported Caesar and came to Luke. Although the wound on his lower abdomen was sealed, the blood that had been shed stained his entire trousers with blood, and he was in a very weak condition.
"Thank you, Inspector Meteor. Do you know where Miss Qingkong is? She saved me again, and I want to express my gratitude to her."
Luke took out a tube of potion and handed it to Caesar: "Miss Qingkong should be leading the Oulu battle mages to clear out the last remnants of the abyss mages. I don't know where she is now.
Drink this bottle of emergency treatment potion, and my people will take you to the hospital. Everyone is very worried about you, and everyone is very happy that you are alive."
"Thank you..." Caesar drank the healing potion, and his condition immediately improved a lot.
Luke asked his men to take Caesar away for treatment.
After checking around the basement, Shelley came to Luke's side.
"There is a very strong smell of blood, and there are many wails of souls. Compared with this place, my interrogation room is as clean as a swan's feathers. And there is a power here that makes me afraid. Is that the abyss?"
Luke looked at Shelley, and after making eye contact with her Medusa Eyes, the Thunder Fire Eyes automatically activated and sent out an electric spark to offset a "petrification" attack.
Shelley immediately pulled off the blindfold: "I'm sorry, Inspector."
"It's okay, I'm just testing my resistance to mental attacks." Luke continued: "There is very strong abyss energy residue here, and it is estimated that it will remain for a long time. Ordinary people with insufficient mental power stay here.
It's easy to go crazy. Councilman Ibor's property is worthless even if it is rebuilt."
"What a pity for such a good location." Shelley expressed great regret.
Luke said: "But as an interrogation room, this is definitely a place where prisoners can tell the truth. It is much more useful than your gun. Since this place is worthless, why don't we buy it and use it as the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau?
In an office in the central city.”
Shelley was shocked when he heard this: "Inspector, we belong to the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau. We can come to the central city to handle cases, but setting up an office directly in the central city...isn't it too unfair to give the central city the status of a secret service?"
Luke smiled and said: "Our Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau has taken down the Abyss Master's hideout in the Central City. Does the Central City Secret Intelligence Bureau still have any dignity?
There are many non-staff agents in the Central City Secret Intelligence Bureau, and there are also secret agents in other urban areas. You cooperate with Kylena to contact them and ask them if they are willing to come to our Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau."
Shelley was even more surprised to hear that his own detective was poaching the same level of departments: "Detective, isn't this a bad thing..."
"It's a little bad." Luke knew that he would definitely be scolded for doing this, but he still said: "But they are all serving the empire. Our Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau works hard for those who can do it. We must beware of the counterattacks and counterattacks of the Abyss Temple.
For other potential imperial security incidents, we can only do our best to share the worries of departments at the same level.
Moreover, just setting up an office and recruiting some non-staff spies will not affect the work of departments at the same level."
Shelley felt that his detective was right.
A big shot who can freely enter and leave the eldest princess's palace must have outstanding abilities. Since outstanding abilities cannot be limited to the small Cape area, the detective accepted the eldest princess's appointment to come to Raging Waves City to do big things.
Moreover, the secret intelligence bureaus in various urban areas did not do much in the past. After their detectives were recalled to the imperial capital to report on their duties, they had nothing to do.
Our Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau handled such a big case in the central city and slapped the Central District Secret Intelligence Bureau hard. Is it too much to set up an office on your territory?
Not too much!
Is it too much to poach you...
Not too much!
"Leave this matter to me, don't worry, Detective."
Luke walked outside: "Let's go, the fighting outside should be over... the subsequent battle has just begun. You send people to transfer Representative Virgil here, lock him up for three days, and then interrogate him.
In addition to 'looking for' evidence of his guilt, we also need real evidence of his guilt."
"Yes, Inspector!"
Luke took Shelley out of the basement and sent spies to strictly seal the place. No one was allowed to enter without his permission.
The battle outside had ended as Luke expected. All the abyss mages found were wiped out, leaving no one alive.
Some of the Oulu battle mages stayed behind to deal with possible emergencies, and all other personnel returned to the academy. The outer defensive barriers were removed, and the battlefield was fully handed over to Cape District spies and some central city police officers.
Pisco stood at the top holding the covert flag of the Secret Service.
The magic painter invited by Councilor Ibur captured this scene, and the operation to encircle and suppress the Abyss Master came to a perfect conclusion.
It also brought great shock to the entire city of Raging Waves, especially after the newspaper owned by Councilor Ibur was willing to lose money to publish many magic portraits in the newspaper. Citizens can see this time through those magic animations as if they were in person.
The entire process of the attack.
During this relatively peaceful period, the citizens of Raging Wave City had never seen such a large-scale magic battle.
You can see the Oulu mage setting up a large-scale magic barrier; you can see the high-end alchemical golem like Abyss Leopard fighting; you can see the Oulu battle mage reappearing a hundred years later; you can see the Meteor Inspector
Lead the Imperial agents and rush into dangerous battlefields against magic and explosions.
You can see the blinding flag flying after victory.
There is also Representative Ibur who came to the front line of the encirclement and suppression of the Abyss Master regardless of the danger, and his lengthy speech...
The public opinion machine is in action again.
All the newspapers in Raging City have published lengthy reports on the joint operation of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau, the Central District Public Security Bureau, and the Oulu College. Various criminal evidences have been disclosed in an orderly manner, and the heinous truths have been revealed.
After it was announced, it aroused great public outrage.
Inspector Meteor, Councilor Ibel, Mrs. Mihir, Viscount Iskran, Elf Clear Sky, Director Nishizawa...
Each name has become a widely praised urban hero.
This caught the inherent forces of Raging Waves City off guard. They had regrouped due to the arrival of Yomington, and originally wanted to fight back to rescue Virgil and kick out those who were destroying the system of Raging Waves City.
As a result, this group of people surrounded and suppressed the Abyss Master so quickly, and they did so in front of so many citizens, as if they were performing a live stage play.
Now everyone in this disruptor group is outstanding and is a star praised by all the citizens of Raging Waves City. Anyone who dares to cause trouble for them at this time is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Raging Waves City.
Damn it! Only we can represent Raging Wave City!
…
"The spoiler group?" After Luke heard from Kylena the names that the new nobles in Raging Waves City had given to these people, he couldn't help but laugh: "This name is too low-level! I think even more that we
They are the reformists...Don't the new aristocrats claim to have brought new trends of thought to the empire? We are newer than them.
Send someone to inform Congressman Ibel, Mrs. Mihir, and Viscount Iscolan that from now on our group will be called the Reformists, and we also need a group program..."
Luke believes that after the annihilation of the Abyss Master, their group has become influential and powerful, and has appeared as an independent faction in the city system of Raging Waves City.
With the faction's program in place, members can be recruited to expand the scale. When conditions are ripe, Viscount Iscolan will naturally enter the parliament as the chief of the city's security department. Each of the establishment faction, the capital faction, and the technical faction will have a seat.
The faction is both in tune with them and at the same time it is its own entity...a very stable pattern.
All we have to do now is to get rid of Yomington...
While Luke was giving the order and thinking about the follow-up actions, Kylena said: "Inspector, this morning, Viscount Isklan suspended his work in the security department of the Government Affairs Department and went to the Imperial Capital."
"What is he doing in the imperial capital at this time?" Luke was a little puzzled by Isklan's sudden action.
"The messenger sent by the Viscount didn't say anything. He just reassured the detective that he will be back soon."
Luke didn't know what Viscount Escolan was doing in going to the imperial capital, so he could only wait and see what happened, and go down step by step in Raging Waves City.
"I understand...Yomington is still coming to see us these days?"
"He comes every day."
"He will come back tomorrow and tell me that I have time and can see him."
"Yes, Inspector."
To be continued...
