Chapter 379 There is Only One Truth
"Warning! Someone is invading!!..."
The alarm was very loud, continuously echoing in his ears and traveling far away. Kira's face was filled with shock at this moment, and he even forgot to leave immediately.
What's going on? I'm exposed? How is this possible?! And this alarm sound... is it a machine?! What kind of reconnaissance machine can ignore my invisibility cloak?!
The sound of the machine sounded familiar, and Kira felt that he must have heard it somewhere before! Where? ...
Suddenly, with the background of "a silver line passing through the black screen", Kira suddenly realized: "So that's it! I figured it out! Now everything that's wrong makes sense! The murderer is the person who said that sentence at that time! Well... but there is no evidence..."
BANG!!!
“Who is it?!”
Several soldiers armed with weapons rushed in in a row, shouting at the empty room. When they could no longer see the intruders, several people spread out to check, but the decoration of this room was in plain sight. Apart from a space under the desk where a female secretary could be placed, there was no place to hide anyone.
The invisibility cloak was still on, and so many eyes could not see him. Kira used magic to float above the desk, without touching the ground, avoiding all possible collisions, and not even leaving a shadow.
Soldier A asked in confusion: "No one is here... Is there something wrong with the alarm system?"
Soldier B beside him said with disgust: "I said magic is more useful! I don't know what His Majesty the King is thinking? He must buy some magic technology! This machine is not a human, how can it possibly identify an intruder?"
Soldier A quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "Stop talking! We just need to obey orders and do our own work! The introduction of magic technology was ordered by His Majesty the King, and even the ministers who tried to stop him were killed. Do you want to die?!"
"Woo woo... I get it..." Soldier B broke free from his companion's big hand, glanced at the people around him with lingering fear, and pretended nothing had happened.
The captain in the lead did not notice this. He just walked towards the desk with a puzzled look on his face and reached out to operate a metal machine on the desk. The alarm stopped immediately, and then he turned around and ordered: "Strange, this machine has a malfunction for the first time. Report it later! We will continue patrolling!"
After the patrol team left, Kira slowly landed and commented: "It's obvious that he is a patrol soldier with no ability and no sense of responsibility! I'm afraid he got the position of captain through the backdoor, right?"
He walked closer to the alarm and took a closer look. He finally found a clue from the familiar material. He couldn't help but reveal the same smug smile as Conan when he solved the case: "Now all the evidence is complete. That's really a cruel truth!"
…
"And then you came back like this?"
"Yes! Because those careless words have helped me solve the mystery!"
It was already late at night when Kira returned to the diplomatic embassy. Although he wanted to continue searching the palace, he had no choice but to give up because of the alarm that ignored the invisibility cloak.
"Unlocked?" Jura was stunned, then reacted, "Sir Kira, do you mean that the reason why Bosk suddenly became restless is because of those so-called 'machines'? "
Kira nodded vigorously: "That's right! "
There was no doubt that those machines came from the Dragon Slayer Research Institute and were sold by Silver! Kira had only seen that special material and forging method in the research institute.
At the beginning, Silver told Kira that he wanted to sell the magic weapons he made to other countries in order to obtain research funds and reputation. After seeing the power, Kira even said that he wanted to join.
But after that, Silver helped Kira make the Dragon Slayer Crystal, and the topic was dropped. There has been no news about it until now. Kira thought that the other party had temporarily put it on hold, but he didn't expect that it had been going on for a long time.
The magic weapon developed by Silver must be powerful! No wonder Bosque dares to challenge Fiore!
Kira naturally would not tell the whole truth, but only explained to Princess Emerald that "the other party's attitude change was due to a magical weapon of unknown origin."
At this point, part of the "exploration of the cause" in this mission has been completed. Next, I just need to complete the guarding work safely and wait for the team to return.
…
In the forest outside a small town in the Kingdom of Fiore, in a large house that looked ferocious and domineering, a battle between the two sides with a huge disparity in numbers and combat power had just ended.
This was the base of a notorious dark guild in the magic world, but from now on, this dark guild would completely disappear, because all the members of this guild had been knocked to the ground and were unable to move.
The last person who was still awake was the guild's president, a middle-aged man who looked very rugged. After being knocked flying by a punch, he crashed into the wall and slid weakly to the ground. Then, with bloodshot eyes and gritting his teeth, he watched angrily as the enemy in front of him took away all the guild's savings.
These guys are too strong. After all, I am a guild leader and I have had a glorious career in the magic world, but I was completely powerless to fight back. These guys are too much. I have accumulated wealth for half my life, but they just took it away without any courtesy. Are you bandits? !
"Who are you? Why are you attacking me?!"
Several people who wrapped themselves tightly in hooded coats answered in a muffled voice: "We? We are the 'Crow's Tail'! We are the strongest dark guild in the magic world! As for the reason for the action... our guild wants to become the king of the dark world, and rubbish like you don't even have the strength to be our affiliated guild, so there is no need for you to continue to exist!!!"
"Crow's Tail... Damn you! I'll remember you!!"
The scene changed, and a large truck was driving slowly through the mountains. There were five men and three women sitting in the truck, and in the cargo hold were dozens of bags of treasures looted from various dark guilds, which were shaking up and down with the movement of the truck.
These people were naturally clearing out Geral and others from the Dark Guild. Since they parted ways with Kira last time, they had started a new life: while eliminating the dark forces in the magic world, they took away their ill-gotten gains and kept them for doing good in the future. This was truly a feat that was enough to move themselves!
"Is it really okay for us to do this? It feels a little different from the original plan." Sorono muttered, "Speaking of which, why do we have to use the name 'Crow's Tail'?"
In response, the leader Gerald's answer was simple: "The original plan was difficult to implement, and now it is more convenient!"
The second-in-command, Urrutia, also said, "Jellard is right! Since the ultimate goal of this stage is to plunder money, supporting puppets is completely unnecessary!"
Eric played with his snake friend, Chuberios, and then analyzed: "Using this method of framing, we can not only strengthen the momentum of the 'Crow's Tail', but also attract hatred for them, which will make it easier to deal with them in the future. However, someone might do it for us before we take action!"
Melty asked weakly, "But as for Kira..."
Urrutia snorted coldly: "Kira? That guy is... ahem... he's so slow to pay his salary. You don't have to listen to him in everything from now on!"
"Oh...oh..." Melty nodded as if she understood, and took notes silently in her heart.
The others smiled in tacit agreement, feeling a sense of pleasure in teaching a little kid bad things.
Half a day later, they arrived at the base of the next target guild, but what they saw surprised them greatly.
The buildings were broken, the houses collapsed, and the entire stronghold had become a ruin. Judging from the signs of destruction, it must have been attacked not long ago; the guild's wizards were either dead or injured, and their lives were hanging by a thread.
The most important thing is, there is still a dark atmosphere at the scene that is very familiar to several people!
