Seeing Luke finally sit down, Virgil secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This person is really a rare rare talent among imperial officials. In this venue, who is qualified to sit here, especially among the senior officials in the front row, who is not a learned, educated and decent person.

Even if there is an argument with different political views, everyone should pay great attention to their words and manners. They must say things that are consistent with their identity and do things that are consistent with their identity.

If you behave like a low-level pariah, you will be laughed at.

In serious cases, you will be ostracized by the upper class circles.

Faced with the rogue Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau detective, Virgil had no way to use his power to expel or punish him. He could only accept his bad luck and spend money to eliminate it.

After Representative Virgil used money to settle the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau, the meeting could finally proceed normally.

Although Elf Qingkong is most likely hiding in the Cape District, it cannot be ruled out that she is hiding in other places. Therefore, the entire city of Raging Waves needs to be searched extensively, and the areas where the rich and powerful need to be searched more carefully.

Virgil launched security missions for each urban area one by one.

Everyone is on the same chain of interests, and no one asks for exorbitant prices like Luke.

The whole meeting went very smoothly.

After all arrangements were made for the hunt for the elf Clear Sky, Vergil raised the possibility that things might worsen in a different way if Clear Sky could not be found.

For example, Clear Sky summoned the red dragon Nirkoron in the center of the city.

For example, Qingkong used secret techniques to release the power of the Book of Disaster, causing a large-scale disaster in Raging Waves City.

For example... it should be said that the emergence of the Book of Disaster will definitely attract mystics who covet it. The Temple of the Abyss, which has been active for the past hundred years, regards the Book of Disaster as their holy book, and the Abyss Mage will definitely come!

These are the guys who nearly destroyed Oulu Academy.

When talking about the Temple of the Abyss, Professor Lennon conveyed Dean Wilred's warning.

The first seven apostles who were directly affected by the Book of Disaster should all still be alive. They were all magic professors at Oulu College in the past, and they were proficient in more than just occult arts.

The apostles were the people most affected by the Book of Calamity. They threw their hearts and bodies into the abyss, gave up their human conscience, and pursued the most advanced secrets that they believed existed.

Their ideas and experiences have attracted many occultists whose minds have been influenced by the occult.

Dean Wilred has been paying attention to the Temple of the Abyss.

"They are much more powerful than we thought.

In order to deal with these dangerous abyss mages and the disasters that may be caused by the Book of Disaster, Oulu Academy has reorganized the Crisis Committee and formed the Oulu Battle Mage Group that was once established to eliminate the abyss mages.

I suggest that Raging Waves City also set up a similar combat department to deal with sudden crises. It may be difficult to effectively deal with such a high-level disaster event simply by relying on ordinary imperial agents and peace officers, or even military soldiers."

Yes, this is not a war.

Nor is it a small-scale violent crime.

The Book of Disaster once almost destroyed Oulu College. If it broke out in Raging Waves City, it would not be something that ordinary security personnel and a few high-level armed forces could deal with.

The Academy of Oulu has rebuilt the Battle Mage Corps.

Nutao City should establish a similar organization to deal with large-scale sudden disasters.

But how should this organization be established? And who should be responsible?

This is a department that directly faces the Elf Clear Sky, the Book of Disaster, the Mystics, the Abyss Mage, and countless other extraordinary powers. Not only can they lose their lives at any time, but they are also among the first to be held accountable if something goes wrong.

Therefore, when Representative Virgil asked who was willing to take on this important responsibility, no one in the entire venue dared to stand up.

Luke had already asked for the money, so of course he wouldn't care about this kind of thing. Even if he wanted to, Virgil wouldn't dare let him.

The remaining officials either have their own status that does not allow them to take risks; or they know that they are incompetent, and if they try to force themselves, they will lose their lives.

Congressman Virgil looked at the silent conference hall, his expression turned ugly again.

Next to him was a representative from Oulu College and a representative from the military. It was absolutely embarrassing for them to see that there were so many officials from Raging Waves City but none of them could take on important responsibilities.

Fortunately...someone finally stood up.

"Congressman Vergil, I am willing to take charge of forming this crisis response department."

Upon hearing that someone was helping him out, Congressman Virgil immediately cast his eyes over with joy and admiration.

But after seeing the person standing up, his expression couldn't help but tighten.

Because the one who stood up was Viscount Iskran.

He is the leader of the Blade Bearing Brotherhood in Raging Waves City and belongs to the conservative old aristocratic force.

Nutao City is the base camp of the emerging industrial and commercial aristocracy.

Most of the titles of the new aristocrats were purchased, and they were all Lords and could not be hereditary. They were not accepted by the old aristocrats, so they gradually formed their own circle.

In recent years, cultural renaissance and technological innovation have led to the rapid rise of new business-minded aristocrats. With their strong financial resources and increased influence, they have prospered in the imperial political system controlled by the old aristocrats.

In addition, the imperial royal family also wanted to suppress the old nobles who dared to draw swords and scold them. The new nobles' weight in the empire's ruling hierarchy exceeded that of the old nobles.

Times and various factors caused the old aristocracy to decline rapidly within a hundred years.

But the centipede is dead but not stiff.

Even if the hereditary old nobility gradually withdraws from the ruling class by virtue of being passed down from generation to generation, it still has a very strong influence in the backward villages outside the imperial cities.

The old aristocracy believed that the new aristocracy was not worthy of the title of nobility.

The new nobles also feel that they are not worthy of the title of noble, so they are always on guard against the counterattacks of the old nobles.

As a port city open to the world, Raging Wave City is firmly in the hands of the new nobles.

Viscount Iskran is not only an old nobleman, but also a high-ranking member of the Blade-bearing Brotherhood.

He came forward and offered to take charge of setting up a crisis response department, which embarrassed Vergil even more than the lack of response just now.

Vergil found a reason and said: "Viscount Isklan, Elf Qingkong has taken out the silver blade of the Blade Bearing Brotherhood many times... Although I don't think the Blade Bearing Brotherhood was involved in the theft of the Book of Disaster, but

You'd better avoid suspicion."

Viscount Iskran said loudly: "I have seen Elf Clear Sky, and I gave her the silver blade of the Brotherhood, but I didn't know at the time that she would steal the Book of Disaster.

There are a lot of bad rumors against our Blade Bearing Brotherhood, and I want to prove our innocence.

I’m afraid no one here knows Qingkong better than me!

And the only one who can quickly organize an armed force to protect Raging Waves City is our Blade Bearing Brotherhood. The Blade Bearing Brotherhood has full-time assassins, and they are already on their way to Raging Waves City."

The Blade Bearing Brotherhood was originally established by the old nobles to fight against the imperial power.
