Age of Arcane

Chapter 55 Who's in charge (for further reading)
Seeing that Luke finally sat down, Virgil secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

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

Even in disputes over political disagreements, they pay great attention to their words and manners.Be sure to say what suits your identity and do what suits your identity.

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

Serious ones will be rejected by the upper circles.

Facing the rogue-like inspector of the Cape Secret Bureau, Virgil had no choice but to use his power to expel or punish him, so he could only accept bad luck and spend money to eliminate the disaster.

After Senator Virgil used money to settle the secret affairs bureau in Cape District, the meeting could finally proceed normally.

Although it is very likely that the elf Qingkong is hiding in the cape area, 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 inhabited by the rich and powerful need to be searched carefully.

Virgil released tasks for the safety of each urban area one by one.

Everyone is a person in the same interest chain, and no one asks for such a high price like Luke.

The whole meeting went very smoothly.

After the arrangements for searching for the elf Clear Sky were settled, Virgil raised the possibility that things would deteriorate in a different way if Clear Sky could not be found.

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

For example, Clear Sky uses secret techniques to release the power of the Book of Calamity, causing large-scale disasters in Rage City.

For example... It should be said that the appearance of the Book of Calamity will definitely attract mystics who covet it.The Abyss Temple, which has been active for nearly a hundred years, regards the Book of Calamity as their sacred book, and the Abyss Mage will definitely come!
These are the guys who almost destroyed Oulu Academy.

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

The first batch of seven apostles who were directly affected by the Book of Calamity should all be alive.They used to be professors of magic at Oulu Academy, and they were proficient in more than just secret arts.

The apostles were the most affected by the Book of Disasters. They threw their minds and bodies into the abyss, gave up their conscience as humans, and pursued the most advanced secret arts they thought existed.

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

Dean Willred has been paying attention to the Abyss Abyss Temple.

"They're much stronger than we thought.

In order to deal with these dangerous abyss mages, there are also disasters that may be caused by the book of disasters.The Oulu Academy has reorganized the crisis committee to form the Oulu Battle Mage Corps that was once established to eliminate the Abyss Mage.

I suggest that Rage 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 catastrophic event simply by relying on ordinary imperial spies and sheriffs, or even military soldiers. "

Yeah, it's not war.

Nor is it a small-scale violent crime incident.

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

The Oulu Academy has rebuilt the Battle Mage Corps.

Raging Waves City should set up a similar organization to deal with large-scale sudden disasters.

But how should this institution be established?And who should be responsible?
This is the department that directly faces countless extraordinary powers such as the elf Clear Sky, the Book of Calamity, the Mystic, and the Abyss Mage.Not only will they die at any time, but they will also be the first to be held accountable in the event of an accident.

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

Luke has already asked for money, so of course he won't care about this kind of thing.Even if he wanted to take care of it, Virgil didn't dare to let him take care of it.

The rest of the officials either have a status that does not allow them to take risks; or they know that they are not capable, and if they are strong, they will die.

Councilor Virgil looked at the silent conference hall, his complexion became ugly again.

Next to him was a representative of the Oulu Academy, and one was a representative of the military.It is absolutely embarrassing for them to see that there are so many officials in Raging Waves City, but none of them can take on important responsibilities.

Fortunately...someone finally stood up.

"Rep. Virgil, I am willing to take charge of setting up this crisis response department."

Hearing that someone was helping him out of trouble, Councilor Virgil immediately cast a happy and appreciative look over him.

But when he saw the person standing up, his expression couldn't help but tense again.

Because the one who stood up was Viscount Iskran.

He is the head of the Blade Brotherhood in Raging City, and belongs to the conservative old aristocratic forces.

And Raging Waves City is the base camp of the emerging industrial and commercial aristocracy.

Most of the titles of the new nobles are bought, and they are all lords and cannot be hereditary.They were not accepted by the old nobles, and gradually formed their own circle.

In recent years, cultural revival and technological innovation have led to the rapid rise of new business-minded aristocrats.With their strong financial resources and rising influence, they triumphed in the imperial political system dominated by the old aristocracy.

In addition, the imperial family also wanted to suppress those old nobles who dared to draw their swords and scold themselves. The weight of the new nobles in the imperial ruling class exceeded that of the old nobles.

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

But the centipede is dead but not stiff.

The hereditary old aristocrats passed on from generation to generation, even if they gradually withdrew from the ruling class, they still had a very strong influence in the backward villages outside the imperial cities.

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

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

Raging Waves City, as a port city open to the world, is firmly controlled by the new nobles.

Viscount Iskran is not only an old nobleman, but also a senior member of the Blade Brotherhood.

He stood up and said that he was willing to take charge of setting up the crisis response department, which made Vergil even more embarrassed than when no one responded just now.

Virgil found a reason, and said: "Viscount Iscoran, the elf Qingkong has taken out the silver blade of the Brotherhood of Blades many times... Although I don't think that the Brotherhood of Blades was involved in the theft of the Book of Calamity, but You'd better avoid suspicion."

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

There are a lot of bad rumors about our Brotherhood of Blades, 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 Rage City is our Blade Brotherhood.The Brotherhood of Blades has full-time assassins, and they're on their way to Rage City. "

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

The reason why the Brotherhood of the Blades' Assassin's Tavern was originally established was also to fight against Imperial agents.

　Recommendation ticket, follow-up.
