Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 139 Who are you loyal to?
Luke and his men ate and drank in Isklan's exclusive room. One wall of the room led to the performance hall on the first floor outside, from where they could clearly see the opera being performed on the stage.
The hall was packed with people, both men and women were dressed in formal attire, quietly watching the performance on the stage.
However, the imperial spies obviously did not know how to appreciate opera. Except for Kalina who was lying on the fence and fascinated by the story in the play, everyone else focused on the food and drinks.
Sandpaper even grabbed a large piece of barbecue with both hands and started to eat it, as if he hadn't eaten for several days.
That unbearable experience had a profound impact on her behavior and mind.
The other spies didn't know much about dining etiquette, and it was their first time at the Palace of Sissai. Faced with the exquisite food and wine, of course they had to eat and drink their fill before going back to brag.
Therefore, when Viscount Iscolan walked in, he saw the scene in front of him and deliberately stepped back to see if he had walked into the wrong room.
That’s right!
Seeing Iscolan coming, Luke said to his men, "Go eat somewhere else. I have something to discuss with the Viscount. Sandpaper... you've eaten too much. Go out and move around ."
"I haven't eaten yet..." When Sandpaper saw the inspector winking at him, he grabbed a towel and wiped the oil stains on his hands and face, then jumped off the chair and said like a child, "I'm going out to play..."
The spies worked together to move the food on the table outside.
Viscount Iscolan sat down opposite Luke, and the waiter replaced the wine and some fruit.
Then leave and close the door.
Iscolan said to Luke, "I have already informed the people here. From now on, the inspector does not need to make any reservations to come to the Sisisse Palace. If there is no room, come here. All your expenses here today will be paid by me."
Luke grabbed a bunch of grapes and put them into his mouth.
"Thank you, Lord Viscount. Is your work at the Government Affairs Office going well?"
Iscolan didn't know why Luke suddenly came here, so he answered truthfully: "I just took office, and I am still in the process of handing over and familiarizing myself with a lot of work. I believe that I will be able to make the city security department operate normally soon. Thank you for the help provided by the inspector. The smooth handover of the government affairs office's defense has made it much easier for me to integrate into the city security department."
Isklan's thanks were sincere. He did not expect that the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau would withdraw from the Government Affairs Office so easily.
Without any additional conditions, they just left.
The city security department was given enough face to allow Viscount Iscolan to take up the post smoothly.
Luke said, "I work for the princess and only want to maintain the stability of Raging Waves City. I don't have any extravagant demands. I have done what I should do, so there is no need to disgust others.
I came here this time... to discuss the Abyss Temple with the Viscount. Many people have disappeared in the Cape District recently, and the number of missing people in other urban areas has also increased. I suspect it has something to do with the Abyss Mage.
Your Excellency is now the city security inspector. If we can eradicate the Abyss Temple from Raging Waves City under your command, it will definitely be of great help to your next promotion."
Speaking of the Temple of the Abyss, Viscount Isklan couldn't help but frown.
“The Virgil incident caused great damage to the security department of Fury City. Some senior sheriffs escaped, and the other five detectives of the Secret Service were transferred by Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Many streets cannot maintain normal night patrols.
Even though the Oulu Academy has expressed its willingness to help, we must find these Abyss Mages on our own. Inspector, what have you found?"
Luke ate his grapes and didn't answer immediately.
Kaileena was still immersed in the opera and did not notice the arrival of Viscount Iscolan. Perhaps she was enjoying the good memories of the past.
After a while, Luke suddenly asked, "Do you love this city?"
Viscount Iscolan didn't know why Inspector Meteor asked such a question. He replied, "Of course, this is my home."
"Will you give your life for this city?"
"Inspector, why are you asking these questions suddenly?" Such a heavy question made Iscolan very confused.
"Answer me first!"
Iscolan replied: "Of course! This city was built on lands guarded by my ancestors. It is the Iscolan family's duty to protect it!
Inspector, what do you mean by asking these questions? "
“How do you protect it?”
Viscount Iscolan thought for a moment and found that he could not give a complete answer.
Luke said: “This land existed before the Isklan family came, and it will still exist when the Isklan family dies. It does not need anyone’s protection.
This city belongs to the Empire. If the Isklan family wants to protect this city, they must first protect the Empire."
"The Isklan family is loyal to the empire. This is the promise made by the Isklan ancestors to the ancestors of the Golden Shield royal family."
"Then let me see the loyalty of the Isklan family to the empire. The headquarters of the Abyss Temple is hidden in the Tedega Hills, and the Abyss Mage is protected by the Duke of Celtic.
Now the Abyss Mage has set up a blood sacrifice secret somewhere in the City of Raging Waves, and at least a hundred or more citizens of the City of Raging Waves have been killed by them. As long as they are not found and eliminated, the number will increase.
Lord Viscount, do you have any clues you can tell me?"
"This is a false accusation!" Viscount Iscolan said angrily.
Iscolan's voice startled Kalina. She turned around and saw the inspector talking to Viscount Iscolan. She immediately came behind Luke in panic.
"I'm sorry, Inspector."
Luke waved his hand casually to indicate that it was okay, and said to Iscolan across the table: "We have been looking for the elf Qingkong for so many days but couldn't find her because she is under the protection of Madam Michel. There are more Abyss Mages, but there is still no trace of them, which proves that they accept the protection of some big shots.
Don't doubt the intelligence-gathering capabilities of the CIA.
The main body of the Abyss Temple is located in the Tedega Hills, and the Abyss Mage is hiding in the City of Rage under the protection of the Celtic Duke.
The Duke wants the Book of Disaster, he wants to embrace the abyss and gain its power."
"What evidence do you have?"
Luke looked at Viscount Iscolan’s pale face and said with a smile, “Your expression is the evidence... What made our Viscount lose his composure like this?
at this point!
Who will you be loyal to? Who will you protect?
As a member of the Blade-Bearing Brotherhood, against whom do you point your sword?"
The sudden blow and the difficult decision made Viscount Isklan 's eyes turn red and bloodshot. The uncontrolled magic power spread in the room, causing the air flow to surge.
Kailina pulled out her magic wand and pointed it at Isklan, her hands shaking violently with nervousness.
Iscolan asked Luke, "Who are you? Who are you?"
Luke calmly replied, "I am Inspector Meteorite of the Cape District Secret Service. I am your Majesty's personal soldier and the eldest princess' subordinate.
What is your answer to me, Lord Viscount?"
