Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 89 Abyss Leopard
"Inspector, you should know that if I were to meet with Viscount Iscolan in private, it would definitely... definitely put me in a very dangerous situation."
Luke said, "I won't make any suggestions for your choice. Viscount Iscolan and I don't plan to do anything about that batch of gold for the time being. It would be best if you can solve the problem on your own.
But please remember one thing... As long as the parliament approves the renovation of Cape Harbor, the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau will stand firmly behind you. If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve, you can come to me!"
Hearing Luke's promise, Councillor Ibul breathed a sigh of relief. If the Cape District Secret Service left him because of the gold issue at this time, he could just wait for their property to be confiscated.
"Thank you, Detective."
"You're welcome... Mr. Congressman, could you please settle today's bill? My people are waiting for their pay..."
Councillor Ibel immediately said, “How much? I’ll give it to you!”
20 million Reichsmarks were obtained.
When Congressman Ibel gave the money, he didn't even blink. One can imagine how much benefit his position as a congressman has brought to his business.
It even made Luke wonder if the accuracy of his knife was a little off.
Be careful next time!
Luke accompanied Congressman Ibel to the Imperial Royal Bank, transferred the money to the account of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau, and then drove away with the spies.
Councillor Ibel was destined to have a sleepless night.
Tonight, many people in Nutao City will not be able to sleep.
As the day and night alternated, the weather in the subspace where the Oulu Academy was located was fine. Dean Wilred stood by the window of his office, holding a cup of tea in his hand. Looking at an open space outside, a group of students from the academy were disassembling a mechanical puppet under the guidance of their instructor.
This mechanical puppet is a batch of Abyss Leopards that Oulu College activated from the warehouse to deal with possible disasters.
It looks like an upright leopard, and is two meters tall. It is a mechanical guard developed by the Alchemy and Mechanical Department of Oulu College to improve the college's defense capabilities.
The leg assembly of the Abyss Leopard is 1.2 meters high. Inside is a high-strength metal skeleton, covered with alchemical muscle fibers and nervous system, and then covered with a layer of protective armor.
The strong thighs give the Abyss leopard very strong jumping and running abilities.
The torso and arms mimic the human structure, and the flexible hands make them adept at climbing and wielding weapons.
The head is a leopard head.
Weapon: A 20cm wide and 40cm long arm shield used to protect the students of the academy. There is a curved blade on the top that can be used for attacking.
A short spear that can be held in one hand and used in close combat or thrown.
Fangs, bite.
The Abyss Leopard has an independent magic core and energy reactor. One energy replenishment can allow it to operate for a week in low activity. Inside its head is an elemental soul cultivated by the Department of Magic using elemental crystals.
Therefore, the Abyss leopard has certain recognition and command execution capabilities.
Now Oulu College reorganized the Crisis Committee and selected professors with combat capabilities to lead senior students to form the Oulu Battle Mage Corps. The activated Abyss Leopards were handed over to the Oulu Battle Mage apprentices as their combat partners.
Understanding the Abyss Leopard has become an alchemical mechanical puppet course added by Oulu College for its students.
As the sun shone in, Dean Wilred enjoyed his morning tea, looking at the vibrant campus and thinking about the news from .
The elf Qingkong used the Book of Disaster to release the secret technique, summoning thunder to destroy the Thunder Tower. This should be the reason why the rain clouds in the main space invaded the subspace yesterday. What secret technique could cause such a big change?
Dean Wilred was worried.
Using the Book of Doom to cast the Word of Mysticism represents the release of a large amount of Abyssal energy.
I wonder what the elf looks like after being eroded by the energy of the abyss.
Thinking back to the battle that day, Dean Wilred did not think that Elf Qingkong was a vicious and cruel killer as Senator Virgil said.
If she wanted to kill me, I would probably be dead.
Unfortunately... you don't know how terrible the Book of Disaster is. Young creatures simply can't resist the temptation of stronger power.
Chirp chirp.
The little monkey climbed onto Dean Wilred's shoulder and combed his hair and beard very carefully.
At this time, there were several knocks on the door.
"Come in!"
Someone came, morning tea time was over, and Dean Wilred started working. He turned around and sat in his seat , putting the teacup aside.
But when it saw the person coming in, all the hair on the little monkey's body stood up in shock, and then it quickly crawled into Dean Wilred's sleeve.
Dean Wilred also stood up quickly and summoned the magic wand beside him.
"How did you get in?"
The one who walked in from outside was the elf Qingkong.
Dean Wilred couldn't understand how she could get here by passing through the layers of patrols by the Oulu battle mages.
And Harriman yesterday simply treated this place as his own home.
"Of course I walked in." Luke put on a professor's robe for Qingkong, holding a book in her hand, looking like a mentor in the academy. She closed the door of the office and said to Wilred, "I saw a lot of Abyss leopards in the academy. It seems that you must know that the Abyss Mage appeared in the City of Raging Waves. I killed four of them yesterday."
Dean Wilred observed the clear sky vigilantly and asked, "Did you use the Book of Disaster to destroy the Thunder Tower yesterday?"
"Yes!" Luke stood at the door and did not move forward to provoke Wilred. She did not come here to fight this time.
"Do you hear what the abyss whispers to you?"
Luke replied with a kind smile, "I didn't hear that."
"This is impossible! Such a powerful secret technique will inevitably draw out powerful abyssal energy. You are lying, you have been contaminated by the abyss!"
Luke said helplessly: "Dean, you should believe your eyes, not your fantasy. You know what people affected by the abyss will look like, with hair loss, dry skin, red eyes, like someone who has been staying up late.
This isn't the first time you've seen me, do you think I've changed at all?"
Wilred just didn't want to believe his eyes.
The elf in front of me was the same as the last time I met him, except for his clothes. This was not the look of an elf that was using the Book of Disaster to release the secret words.
You know, after Victor and the others triggered the secret words of the Book of Disaster, they really looked like they had been staying up all night.
but ……
"I can't figure it out. If you use the Book of Disaster, you... shouldn't still be like this."
Luke summoned the Book of Disaster, tossed it in his hand, and then put it into his space backpack.
"The Book of Disasters can be used in more than one way."
