Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 382 Investigation of the Demon Hunting Department
As a semi-independent alliance formed by many northern nobles, the Northland Noble Alliance has very strict alliance laws. The first rule is that private territories are inviolable. This is also the cornerstone of the establishment of the Northland Noble Alliance, because it is impossible for the Northland nobles who join the alliance to hand over all their territories and citizens selflessly, even death.

In fact, except for one name, the members of the alliance are in charge of their own affairs. They just jointly contribute money and people to form the alliance army, build public roads and buildings, and abide by the same rules of the game. These are all commanded and deployed by the noble council of the Northland.

Therefore, without the consent of the other party, let alone the army, a bullet belonging to Ferrier and Solari falling into the other party's territory is considered an invasion. At that time, not only the alliance will be held accountable, but also other members of the alliance will be punished.

Fortunately, this is not the first time that a similar incident has occurred. The Alliance Parliament has long established a special organization to deal with it, and obtained special emergency authority in a parliamentary vote, so a special team arrived soon.

"Dear Earl Solari, I am Jonathan, a senior demon hunter of the Demon Hunting Department. According to the laws of the alliance, I have the right to ask you some questions. Please answer them truthfully." Jonathan was a very rigid-looking middle-aged man with sharp eyes. He was wearing a long trench coat, a long sword and alchemy guns unique to hunters. He stopped in front of Solari at this moment, and said in a businesslike manner.

Solari frowned, feeling unhappy. After all, he was a noble earl, and the other party was just a dog raised by the alliance, but according to the law of the alliance, the other party did have this right, and seeing that the other party pressed his hand on a prop similar to a pocket watch, he knew that he had become the object of suspicion.

In fact, this is quite normal. Using similar methods to deceive neighbors is an ancestral craft of nobles, and it is even more popular in the Northland, so it is very normal for Solaris or Ferrier to be the object of suspicion.

After activating the recorder with magic power, Jonathan began to ask some questions, such as when did Solari know about this matter, when did he come here, and whether the incident had anything to do with him.

Solari is over 70 years old. He hasn't seen any scenes, and his answers are impeccable. Even if Jonathan wants to make trouble, he can't find any flaws. What's more, as Solari thinks in his heart, the identity gap between the two parties is too big. Just blocking the other party's routine questioning is already very offending.

When Solari left with a straight face, Jonathan immediately played back the recorder, trying to find something.

"Boss, you are really brave. That is Earl Solari, one of the twelve Earls of the Alliance. I was too scared to speak just now." After Solari left, one of Jonathan's team members said with a sigh of relief.

"The Earl can't violate the laws of the league." Jonathan said expressionlessly. He knew that this person was not easy to get in touch with at ordinary times, but his team members had already gotten used to it.

"Head, well, then, did Earl Solari lie?" The team member asked curiously, because it was related to the direction of their actions.

The recorder in Jonathan's hand is a high-end product. Not only can the resolution reach the level of hair, but it also has the functions of seeing through and detecting lies. However, only some high-level members of the Alliance and the personnel of the Hunting Demon Department know about this. After all, lies are the face of nobles, and no one likes to be exposed to reveal their ugly side.

"He didn't lie." Jonathan put away the recorder, his expression became more serious, because this is not good news, and he would rather it was done by Solari, so that the matter would be simpler.

As a senior member of the Demon Hunting Department, Jonathan has dealt with many similar incidents. Some of them were wiped out in the bud without erupting, but some developed to the point of being difficult to deal with, such as the wailing city in front of us.

No matter which one, the cause is very important. First, you can learn lessons to prevent it, and second, you have a more accurate way of thinking to solve it. Otherwise, you can only use your life to find clues.

Obviously, the situation they are facing is very bad. The situation in the city has begun to get out of control. People inside can't get out, and people outside can hardly get in. The most important thing is that they don't know what the cause is, and they don't know how far it has developed inside.

In fact, purely from a rational point of view, Jonathan knew that the best way now was to use the army to attack the city. A war could not solve the problem, but it was enough to break the opponent's advantage and make the chaotic situation clear.

It's a pity that they can't, the laws of the alliance make them rigidly implement the procedures, because without enough clues, they can't convince the members of the parliament, nor can they convince the members of the alliance, especially the city that needs to use the army to attack a member of the alliance.

Asking for information is just a routine. Most of the time, no effective clues can be obtained. Next, they need to venture into the city to find clues, and use death to prove that they have found the right one. In the end, those who come back alive by chance will report it. As for whether to implement it, it depends on the decision of the Alliance Council.

Jonathan had seen so many people who died because of this, that he was already numb, so he didn't explain anything, but led his team members, who had obviously just entered the industry not long ago, into the city that was being shrouded in death through a secret passage.

The Ministry of Hunting Demons secretly built secret passages in many cities. Everyone knows what the purpose is, so it can be used but cannot be exposed, let alone admitted.

Drilling out of a drain, Jonathan immediately took out the tester. The pointer on it quickly passed from the white area to the gray area, and finally pointed to the black area, and was still approaching the red area.

Jonathan was not the only one who saw this scene, but several other team members also saw it, and at the same time showed expressions of fear and panic.

They are well aware of what this means after being systematically trained by the Hunting Demon Ministry. According to the division of the Hunting Demon Ministry, the white area is safe and free to move, the gray area is lightly polluted and needs to be vigilant, and the black area is heavily polluted. Even if there are senior members leading the team, the death rate remains high.

Obviously, the severity of the city's problems has exceeded their previous expectations, and it has slipped into the abyss.

"Captain, according to the regulations of the Demon Hunting Department, we can now choose to withdraw and call for support from the alliance army." A team member whispered to Jonathan with the secret support of several teammates.

"Continue to carry out the exploration mission." Jonathan said without changing his face.

The other team members were unwilling, but Jonathan, as the captain, still had the highest command power without orders from superiors or taking over. If they dared to disobey orders, the end would be bad, so they could only take out their weapons and prepare to take action, but they had already trampled on this captain who didn't take their lives seriously hundreds of times in his heart.
