Penny's words made the councillors wake up from the incident in the Duchy of Rigrock, and they simply had no time to care about other people's problems.

"What's the situation with the Legion of the Undead on the Suker Plains?" Woz-Pedro frowned, "Don't tell me, we're also going to be besieged by hundreds of thousands of Legions of the Undead!"

"It's not that serious. Bailly replied quickly, "The undead legions in the Suker Plains are under control, and the army of Felder's army and the army of Fort Norma will assist us in resisting their invasion, and we only need to send a small number of troops to assist." ”

"Is that easy?" said Stu-Garra, with an incredulous expression.

"Of course it's not that simple. After the chief of the guard, Malek and Bailly looked at each other, and said at Penny's signal: "According to the information we have received, there are people in Suke City who are carrying out some kind of evil sacrifice, if they are successful, at least nearly 200,000 people in our city will be infected into undead warriors!"

"When's the information?"

"Are you sure?"

"Are they crazy? What's in it for that!"

"Who is involved?"

“...”

Countless questions rang out in the Eunice Hall in an instant.

"You'd better explain everything about this. Nepdo-Quint slammed his hands on the conference table, and the man stood up and stared at Malek, "This is no small matter. ”

Malek looked at Nepdo-Quint without fear, his small eyes shining inexplicably, "According to our current city laws, the security department has the power to handle cases independently, and even councillors have no way to intervene in the details of our cases. ”

"Councillor Nepdo is right, Commissioner Malek, this is not a trivial matter, since you have made this case clear, you should give an explanation to the council. "It's rare for Woz Pedro to be on the same page with Nepdo Quint.

Malek looked at Woz Pedro seriously, feeling the eyes of the crowd on him, looking around to the left and right, and shook his head slightly.

"What do you mean?" said Nepdo-Quint immediately lost patience.

"Director Malek. Stu-Garra's fat body stood up, "Under our current law, the resolutions passed by the city council have the highest priority, you shouldn't let us vote on this matter, right?"

"It seems that only the Speaker has the power to call for a vote?" Malek asked rhetorically.

"I am confident that the Speaker will not refuse our proposal. Stu-Gara looked at Penny, who was sitting at the top, and bowed slightly.

"Councillor Malek. Penny's voice was soft, "What do you think?"

"I don't have anything else in mind. Malek responded to One's question in a small voice and stood up, bowing slightly to Penny before looking at the others, "Are you sure I'm here to talk about this case?"

Woz Pedro then yelled, "What do you mean, worried about our leaks?"

"That's a serious accusation!" Stu-Garra pointed his finger rhythmically on the table.

"I'm not accusing anyone, I'm just suggesting some kind of possibility. Malek shrugged, "And it's very likely." He left his seat, his gaze running over the faces of the crowd again, "I don't know who it is..."

"Are you tempting us?" Nepdo-Quint frowned, "Don't use your clever tricks here!" he said with a warning.

"That's because you're used to being on top. Malek saluted Penny again, then looked at Woz Pedro and said, "You should get used to being an equal to someone like me!"

"Malek!" Penny also stood up, she stopped Malek's gibberish and yelled, "You go down!"

"Yes, sir!" he retreated

"You all have to leave, and that's all for today's meeting. ”

Penny Reagan decisively left her seat and walked slowly towards the side door of Eunice Hall. Malek, on the other hand, walked quickly, and by the time the councillors reacted, he had already walked to the half-open door.

"Stomp Pedal Pedal

Woz Pedro looked at Malek, who was about to leave, walked quickly to Penny Reagan's side, bowed down and followed, and said with a humble smile: "My lord, you..."

"The independence of the judiciary is the key to the rule of the city-state, and we cannot force the guard in the name of the parliament, and this precedent cannot be broken in my hands. Penny Reagan didn't stop and walked through the side door without looking back, and walked towards the Consulate House under the protection of the guards.

"It is clear that Lady Penny supports Malek's decision. Stu Garra gets straight to the point.

The lawmakers looked at each other and left their seats one after another, gathering together to whisper about what had just happened. Woz Pedro frowned at Penny Reagan's departing back and thought about his little secret for a while, then quietly walked to Temple's Bob's side, and the two whispered a few words before walking towards the door together.

Stu Gara looked at Temple-Bob's back and frowned, and Nepdo Quint came over at this time, patted Stu Garra on the shoulder, and said, "Would you like to go to my place for a few drinks?"

"What's the good wine you have there?" said Stu-Gara's smile on his face.

"I should have all the wine you want to drink. ”

Stu Gara shook his head, he didn't believe it, because the other party was notoriously bragging, and of course only bragging about these little things. However, he would not refuse such an invitation, "If you let me drink rice wine from the south of the Suke Plain again, I will hire someone to burn down your wine cellar tonight." ”

"Haha, you've always been so fond of holding grudges. ”

...

After coming out of Eunice Hall, Malek made a beeline for the guard station.

The headquarters of the Guard was relocated to the Lion Fort along with the rest of the government after the city of Suke entered the era of city-state rule.

Although the Lion Castle still retains its former name, it is no longer the private property of a person or a family, and it has become the public property of the city. The interior buildings, with the exception of the iconic Prime Minister's Office, Eunice Hall, and the back garden, have been largely completely demolished.

Instead, rows of luxurious villas, commercial buildings and commercial guild residences are located. Other words... What was once a vast royal castle has been transformed into a small city within a city.

A few months ago, some councillors even proposed that the walls of the Lion Castle be torn down and connected to the inner city to expand the city. However, this proposal was strongly opposed by the city's old imperial aristocracy, and the two sides quarreled over the issue for months before finally settling it.

The Guard is located on the left side of Eunice Hall, near the gate of Fort Lion, which was originally the residence of the Castle Knights, but after a simple remodeling, it became the headquarters of the Guard, which in turn became the Guard Training Ground, the Prison and the Patrol Officers.

Upon his arrival, Malek entered his private office and summoned his assistant Bello, a Twak born in the highlands

"How's the case in the Seongnam Division?" Malek asked directly what he wanted to know.

"Just waiting for you to sign the warrant!" Bello was young, less than thirty years old, and liked to show corresponding emotions on his face when he spoke. He looked impatient, "My lord, they..."

"Don't rush to arrest these people just yet. After going through everything in his head, Malek ordered: "Leave only the most basic agents to watch over them, and the rest of the men will withdraw first." ”

Bello was stunned, "My lord, these people are crazy, they can do things we can't imagine at any time, and if we don't stop it in time, the disaster caused is unimaginable." ”

"I know the dangers of these people better than you do, but it's useless to just capture them. Malek pressed the socket of his left eye, trying to stop the wildly beating eyelids, "I can't grasp the real manipulation behind the scenes, and in less than two months, they will organize another group of people to carry out the evil sacrifice again." ”

Malek casually flipped through the case files on the table, shrugged his shoulders and sighed helplessly, "We're going to take the risk, I don't want to hope that next time we'll be able to find clues to these guys so quickly... You know, even if it's a brute, after being caught once, you will learn to be smart, let alone a human. ”

"I see. Bello wasn't stupid, he figured out the key to this and proposed, "But these people are still dangerous, and I suggest that all the monitoring devices that the elves sent to the guard be installed." ”

"Great idea, but we don't have enough magicians. "Those mages aren't the ones who can do it for a few crowns, and if you want Stu-Gara to increase our budget, he's going to eat me!"

"There's no need to hire another magician, doesn't the city garrison have a brigade of magicians?" Bello said this very slowly, he needed to watch the change in the chief's expression as he spoke, and when he made sure he could continue, the speed of speech became very fast, "We can directly ask Archon Penny to apply for the assistance of a squadron of magicians." ”

Malek's assistant was obviously a little surprised, he looked at the other party carefully, and then used the key to open the drawer engraved with magic runes, and took out a stack of documents written on butter paper from inside, "Very good idea... Once you've passed on my command, you can set about installing the devices, and the magician will be in place soon. ”

With a smug smile on his boss's face as he agreed to his suggestion, Bello bowed slightly and quickly exited the office. After the other party left the office, Malek took out an investigation report from his drawer as of 8 p.m. on the 17th.

The report was the result of an internal review by the Security Service, and the top report was a survey of Bello's personal file as he had just walked out of the office, and at the end of the report was marked with the code 'Security'.

Malek's finger lightly clicked on the place of the security mark, turned out the steel seal he carried with him, pressed it vigorously, and wrote the words 'to be checked' and sealed the document in a file bag, and then opened the second investigation document and looked at it roughly, and still wrote the word 'to be checked', but did not seal it with a file bag, but put it aside.

then

It's the third... Fourth...

This is something that Malek has been doing every day since he became the chief of the guards. At some point, when he wants to be lazy, he uses the time of Chief Bernie and Gus El to remind himself.

Half an hour later,

The file in Malek's hand was almost processed, and there was a knock on the office door, and a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a senior officer in the security department walked in... It was Zemut who was in charge of the Lion Castle guards.

"Your Excellency has asked you to go to the Archon. Zemut's tone did not appear very respectful, for he felt that the position of chief of the guard should have been his. However, due to his serious injuries after that incident, he had to hand over the duties of the commissioner to Malek.

Ignoring Zemt's deliberately arrogant tone, Malek nodded lightly and quickly locked the drawer, took the officer's file and the documents that had been prepared on the desk and walked towards the door.

It was impossible for Zemut to stand at the door with him, let alone lead the way for Malek.

Outside the Internal Investigation Section on the second floor of the station, Malek leaned over and glanced at Zemut, who had already walked to the first floor, and handed the police file in his hand to the agents who had been waiting outside the Investigation Bureau for a long time.

Ten minutes later,

Malek and Zemut traveled a long way from each other to the Governing House, which was located on the left side of the Hall of Uris. The head of the Consul's Office, Witt Müller, had already been ordered to wait at the door of the building for a long time, and personally led the way for Malek.

After a few servings,

Malec appears in the office of the Pavilion, which is a rustic, coffee-coloured office.

The most conspicuous thing in the door is a dark reception sofa, which immediately attracts those who enter the office, but after two steps, they will find that a blue and white battle flag with blue sky and white clouds is more conspicuous. Under the iconic flag of the city-state alliance, the gray desk sits there.

The desks are huge, but the bigger ones are the whole office. The office is so large that everyone who walks in makes them feel small.

Penny Reagan likes to wear red aristocratic clothes when she works in the office, the style is a bit like a man's, but with a feminine femininity.

The red dress made Penny Reagan shine in this office, and as soon as Malek walked into the room, she stood up and walked around the desk to greet her, pointing to the reception couch in the middle of the room and saying, "Sit here and talk, I believe that we can't talk about things in two sentences." ”

Malek stopped his steps as he was about to walk to the desk, and instead of immediately going to the reception sofa to sit down, he leaned sideways and waited for Penny Reagan, and when the mistress of the room sat down, he took small steps to sit across from her. ()
