White Tower Wizard

Chapter 23: Investigation Mission

  Freis Saint Laurent Railway Station is located in the Elf District and is a magnificent building covering an extremely large area.

   The main building of the station lined up is 5 stories high. There are many minarets on the top of the building, with sharp edges and corners, and the floor is full of slender columns and large arches with sharp corners. Except for the open lobby on the first floor, every window is large carved glass.

  Like other buildings in the Elf District, the color style of Saint Laurent Railway Station is mainly gold and blue. There are various complicated shapes and gorgeous and unusual decorative carvings on the columns on the walls.

   These are the salient features of elven architecture. The elven area, which was originally built on the basis of the elven ruins, has become more and more artistic with the development of modern designers of various ethnic groups.

   As a typical representative of elven architecture, Saint Laurent Railway Station was also successfully printed on the banknote of Fores.

   is not only a high artistic achievement, but also its practical value. Every day, the flow of people passing through the 12 platforms of the railway station is a huge number.

  Countless people got on the car from here and went to other countries, and countless people got off from here, hoping to start a new life.

   But there is one exception in this busy station. There is a train that is free almost most of the time, and there are always few people on the train. This is the Sky Camp special train.

   If it is not really something, almost no one would be willing to take the initiative to go to the sky camp, so this train only leaves once every half a month.

   However, due to special circumstances, the Forex Railway Transportation Company temporarily increased the number of trains for the Sky Camp special train. The purpose is to send the investigation and maintenance team of the Magic Industry Company to the Sky Camp.

  The attack on the Forest of the White Tower has been gradually fermenting. In the Fries Council, members of the Council are arguing over the consequences and effects of the suspension of the production of the magic liquid.

   As a result, a huge aftercare team with a total number of close to 200 people, under the urging of all quarters, is also about to set off.

   At the rearmost platform No. 12, a train with 13 carriages is quietly stopping on the rails.

   There is a busy scene on the platform. Many people are quickly moving various materials into the carriages, and among them there are mages helping. What's more surprising is that there are two people like knights who are holding two tall griffins, trying to drive them into the last carriage.

   After a while, the platform finally calmed down.

   "Woo!"

   The whistle of the train uttered a loud whistle.

This voice also reached the ears of the two people sitting in the first car. They were the leader of the investigation team, Bachelor Rashid Bachri of Magic Industries, and the Fores Magic Research Association. Wizard William Harvey temporarily drawn from the Magic Academy.

   Carriage No. 1 is decorated like a room, and there are not so many seats. It is only provided for a few people to rest or work comfortably.

   At this moment, only the two of them are sitting on the soft sofa. A set of exquisite coffee tableware is placed on the red pine lacquered tea table. In the two oval coffee cups, the aromatic and mellow coffee is heating up.

   "It looks like you're driving soon." Mage William, wearing a mage robe, looked out the window and said to Rashid who was sitting across from him and was looking at the newspaper.

Bachelor Rashid, who wears small round glasses, was reading the large newspaper seriously, and did not look up, and echoed: "Yeah, if you don't go anymore, members of Congress should burn their eyebrows anxiously, as if they are a company. The same as the shareholders..."

   "Hehe..." Hearing Rashid's faint words, Master William did not answer, but just smiled softly, and then as if thinking of something, he skipped the topic and continued:

"By the way, isn't this train our special train? But the passengers are obviously more than us. When I got on the bus just now, I saw some other people. One of them had eyes like wolves. It was amazing. Who are they? ? Do you know what's going on?"

"Oh? The eyes are like wolves? Interesting...that should be Caspar Villiger, the demon hunter called "White Wolf". He is actually quite famous, in various senses, you don’t know. Strange. Since he is there, those people should be demon hunters."

  Rasheed finally put down the newspaper, and looked at Master William with his eyes wearing small round glasses, his tone of speech was a little bit novel.

   "Oh, they went to the sky camp because of this, and it has something to do with our mission."

   Rasheed spread the newspaper on the table and motioned William to take a look at the news on it.

   I saw several black squiggles "Daily Mail" printed on the head of the newspaper, and the next front page headline was the news about the attack on the Forest of White Pagoda. Below the news headline is a super-large photo, which occupies almost a quarter of the entire page. The photo is not a static image, but a moving image.

The image was taken at an oblique angle from above the white tower forest. In the screen, several sea monsters are frantically attacking the magic guide on a white tower, and a tower guard is defending hard against the tower wall below. It looks like a crisis.

   But Rashid didn't care about the headline, but pointed his finger at the box at the bottom of the board.

There is a bounty notice in the attached column. It probably means that due to the deterioration of the surrounding environment of the Sky Camp, monsters are flooding again. In order to avoid another attack on the White Tower Forest, the Sky Camp Defense Barracks is in While organizing troops to wipe out the monsters, it also launched a reward for all kinds of monsters from the public, actively using various forces to clean up the surrounding environment and ensure the safety of the sky camp.

   "Ha, what a local tyrant! This kind of bounty amount, I see my heart."

   Master William's eyes left the newspaper. After noticing the various monsters listed and the corresponding reward amount, he couldn't help but laughed jokingly.

"Haha, money is touching! What's more, they are the demon hunters who make a living on it. They are the people who deal with monsters the most, the real demon hunters." Bachelor Rashid pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He continued with a smile: "Since some people are willing to spend money, they naturally wouldn't mind going to the Sky Camp to make a fortune."

   "...When you said that, I feel a little distressed for the people in the sky camp. It is estimated that there will be a lot of bounty, and be taken away by these professional monster killers..."

   Master William imagined in his mind the scene where the witch hunters lined up to receive the reward, showing a strange look.

"Hmph, your worry is superfluous. Guarding those huge mines that can't be digged for hundreds of years, the Sky Camp can lack anything, except that there will be no shortage of money. You just lie down and collect. The mineral tax can be received in abundance. After paying most of the fiscal revenue to the Forest City Hall every year, the budget reported by the Sky Camp Management Committee is still extremely generous."

   Money has always moved people's hearts, and the power struggle is even more eye-catching. Unlike the Master William, who has been doing research in the Fres Academy of Magic, Bachelor Rashid joined the Fres Magic Industries Company after graduating from university. He has been in the field of power for many years and is familiar with many secrets.

Speaking of the depths, he also became interested. While adding a few spoonfuls of sugar to his coffee cup, he continued: "In fact, a few years ago, some congressmen suspected that the Sky Camp Management Committee had set up a'small vault' privately. The fiscal revenue has not been fully handed in, and there is a suspicion that someone is reselling minerals privately. In the parliament, the question of overpowering the two positions of the sky camp governor and the garrison general has never stopped."

   "These allegations are very serious, almost clearly directed at the Governor and the garrison general. Hasn't Fores sent someone to investigate?" Master William asked with a serious expression and questioning.

Bachelor Rashid had a "I guess you would ask" expression on his face, looked at Master William like a rookie, and slowly said, "The current Governor of the Sky Camp Robert Gibbs and the defense general Raul. Faulkner, both of whom have been in office for nearly ten years, have basically always'worn a pair of trousers'. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has already built an iron bucket made by Sky Camp."

"For so many years, at the request of the parliament, the investigators of the Fries Town Hall have gone to batch after batch, but they have not found out anything. The problems they found can't touch them at all. Someone once proposed to abolish it. The Sky Camp, a special management camp, was directly changed to a district under Fores, and it was directly managed, and the special organization of the'Sky Camp Management Committee' was cancelled."

   "But apparently this plan failed to pass, and there are quite a few MPs who support Gibbs and Faulkner..."

  Bachelor Rashid said a long time, seemingly tired, picked up the coffee on the table, and took a sip. And it seems that the Master William, who is sitting next to him, does not pay much attention to these things on weekdays, and has not been able to completely digest the information he has just received, and is lost in thought.

   After a while, he seemed to be asking and muttering to himself: "This situation can't be stalemate forever..."

   Bachelor Rashid smiled faintly when he heard it, put down the coffee cup, held the round small glasses with his hand, and the lens seemed to be shining with a strange light.

   "Of course there will not be a stalemate forever, there will always be a difference. Someone in the parliament called me yesterday, and three of them were also in our investigation team..."

   "What? You mean..." Master William said in surprise.

   "Yes, isn't this a good opportunity..."

   "Ugh! Ugh..."

   The roar of the siren interrupted their conversation.

   Everything was ready, the train began to accelerate slowly, and amidst the noise of “clambling clams”, it moved away from the busy Saint Laurent platform bit by bit and headed towards the sky camp.
