Chapter 17: Interrogation or Counseling
Commander Ludwig von Himmler was in a bad state of mind, pacing back and forth at the conference table, his face pale, his eyes cloudy, but his tone was impulsive. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Majesty is very angry, saying that this is a disgrace to the Empire! As far as I am concerned, it is also a disgrace to the Military Department!" The commander slammed his fist on the table and stared at General Mahe, who was in charge of the management office of the special forces of the magicians, "Your Majesty wants me to send the murderer to him within half a month!"
Hugo blurted out: "This can't be!"
"You have the ability to meet His Majesty the Emperor face to face, and tell him face to face, it is impossible for him to cut off your head!" The commander glared at Hugo, his gray beard trembling with anger, "Do you know why it's half a month? He wants to capture the murderer as a gift for the imperial celebration! His mind is all on the celebration! Ignoring the particularity of this case and ignoring the morale of the imperial troops. ”
The commander sat down and said to Hugo: "The only reason why you are qualified to sit here is because it is your honor that Your Majesty has asked you to be in charge of investigating this case. I announce: With immediate effect, Kaxiu Dazuo will be relieved of his position as the head of the Magician Special Forces Management Office, and the Wolf Warrior Team will be responsible for interrogating him. ”
After the commander finished speaking, Hugo was kicked out of the conference room, and casually threw the power of attorney issued by the Emperor Hugo and the military department.
The ghost thought this errand was honorable. Hugo complained bitterly.
"Kaxiu Dazuo, I believe you must know that our Wolf Warrior Squad is not bound by military rank and administrative position, so I hope you can cooperate with my work. "If you have to calculate it by military rank, Cassiu is the big Zuo, and Hugo is only the owner of the silver robe, which is equivalent to the young Zuo. Hugo chose such an opening statement, not so much because he was afraid that his classmates would be resentful, but because Hugo, a former soldier, still had a sense of military rank, and interrogating his superiors made him feel a little uncomfortable, not to mention that it was his classmate and Cassius in front of him who proposed to establish a wolf warrior team and recommended himself as the captain.
Cassius is much younger than Hugo. When the first batch of magic academy students were recruited, due to the lack of practical tests, the age difference between the students was large, Hugo was 24 years old when he participated in the academy training, and Cassiu was 18 years old at the time, so in terms of age, Cassiu still called Hugo his brother, but under the baptism of a year of war, Cassiu's talent was revealed, and in 6 years, he became a big sa, which made Hugo admire very much. The 24-year-old Kasho is beautiful, blonde, and strong, which has nothing to do with the fact that he is a swordsman, Cassiu was already a junior swordsman when he joined the Academy of Magic at the age of 18, and at that time the Academy of Magic did not offer swordsmanship classes, he just practiced swordsmanship silently after class, and by the time he graduated, he was already an intermediate swordsman.
During the war of one year, there was an incident where the mage troops escaped, and when the mage troops fled, a large number of soldiers were ordered to pursue them, and the mage troops exchanged fire with the soldiers, and were later suppressed, but the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Later, in order to maintain the order of the mage unit and hunt down the mage defectors, Cassius proposed to form a special force composed of mages with white robes or above, directly responsible to the military department and the Magic Council, and if the mage's problems could not be dealt with by the military, this team would come forward to solve them.
"You are a man of integrity. Cassius lost the position of captain of the Wolf Warrior Team to Hugo in such a praising tone, but he didn't expect to be interrogated by Hugo now.
Cassius was disarmed and unarmed, looked lazily at Hugo, and lifted his chin. Hugo looked back and motioned for the two guards to go out.
He spoke again: "Old classmate, don't hesitate to say anything you want." ”
Cassius smiled and replied, "I asked Podolic to take the magician to the capital in two days, instead of leaving that night. Podolic knew this, of course, that I had told him verbally before he left. ”
"Then why did you change the order?
Kahew spread his hands: "Yes, the man is dead, but how do you think that I wrote the words on the urgent mail?"
Hugo snorted: "I've been a classmate with you for five years, of course I know!"
Cassiu's eyes widened and he sighed in surprise: "So, that person deliberately imitates my handwriting, and the level of imitation is very high!"
Hugo suddenly felt that Cassius was simply playing on him, and couldn't help but slap the table: "You really know how to joke, someone imitated your handwriting to make Podoric return early?!
Kasiu also slapped the table: "You donkey, are you still so brainless? You think that the urgent item must be my signature and the seal of the military department?"
Hugo was stunned for a moment, he savored Cassiu's words carefully, and said: "If your assumption is true, it means that someone has arranged everything and will kill the magician in the first place!"
Cassius crossed his hands, propped his chin, and stared at Hugo with green eyes: "I don't care about the purpose, that's what you are responsible for finding out." I'm interested in the means, the Grim Reaper of the Misty Valley, the terrifying monster, and you remind me of someone. ”
"Who?" Hugo didn't think Cassius was guilty from the bottom of his heart, and he split the guards so that he could talk to Cassiu.
"The soldier who escaped described it like shadow magic. Strange visions in the dark, don't you think they're 'shadow illusions'?" The light outside the window grew stronger, and the sunlight shone on Cassiu's face, and Cassiu raised his hand and made different gestures on the table, and the projection of those gestures on the table turned into a dog and a duck at the moment.
"Shadow Illusion: Man is born afraid of the dark, darkness comes from the unknown, and the shadow is transformed into terrifying creatures, making people lost and crazy in the illusion. Shadow visions bring the fear of the unknown and cause psychological harm to people. Hugo shook his head and retorted to Cassiu, "Veron Madison is dead, and I received news of his death during the war of the year, and the military department has granted his son the position of the New Ten Saints. ”
"The Ten Saints are really cheap. Kaxiu's first reaction was to laugh, "The old Ten Saints, each of them was the elite of magicians, but now, the Ten Saints have become knights, and his son doesn't understand magic, so he actually inherited the title of Lao Tzu." ”
Hugo smiled bitterly: "Cassiu, you are a soldier, and you must stop complaining in moderation." ”
"I wasn't a traditional soldier in the first place. Kasiu winked slyly and quipped, "I think you can look into that." ”
"Damn, shadow magic isn't mass-produced magic, it's up to ...... individual" Hugo's eyes widened, and he jumped up as if he had been enlightened, "You told me to dig up Veron Madison's grave and see if he was really dead?"
Cassius stood up, shook his head, sighed, and said, "Brainless, I'm asking you to check, except for Veron Madison, who else can comprehend the Shadow Illusion, go to the Council to check, they should always have some records." Also, I really didn't write that urgent letter. But there are many things that I learned that the graduates were picked up by the military department. Be careful not to startle the snake. ”
Late at night, Hugo pondered Cassiu's advice and every word he spoke. It sent chills down his spine. In the Empire, magicians are treated in the envy of all, and the students of the Academy of Magic enjoy full funding from the Empire during their time at school, and the Imperial Mark, which is also given to privates during their time at school, is given to the magician's family as a subsidy. After the magician graduates, he is exempted from the corresponding personal income tax according to the rank of the robe, and even if the magician dies, the pension is much higher than that of a non-commissioned officer of the same rank.
The generous treatment made many people envious and jealous, and after the "Nightmare in Beijun Town" incident, the news of the magician's betrayal of the empire spread, which made people hate the magician more and more. If you want to find enemies, except for the polar people, within the empire, mages are in danger everywhere and have enemies everywhere. Therefore, if you want to investigate the murderer and mastermind behind the "Misty Valley Magic Graduate Total Destruction Incident", I am afraid it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Coupled with Cassiu's analysis, shadow magic may also be involved here, that is, there are magicians involved.
It was raining outside the window, and the sound of spring rain and thunder reminded him of the night Robert was killed at the academy. The door knocked louder, and the thunder drowned out the knock at the beginning. Hugo opened the door and saw Dean Sean's indignant expression. Sean secretly pulled him into the corner of the room, made sure there was no eyeliner, and showed Hugo a half-torn military resolution: according to the spirit of the direct instructions of the great Emperor Auguste Rudolph, the meeting of the military generals decided to order the Academy of Magic to immediately replenish 19 more magicians to the front.
"Didn't eighteen die?" said Hugo, puzzled.
"There's one more to fill Robert's vacancy. Sean folded the resolution and tucked it into his cuffs, "I've decided on the candidate, and that Takehito will go back to his hometown." ”
"What about Sun Guanglong?" his heart sank.
"The military department ordered, you continue to investigate Kaxiu, Sun Guanglong...... At the meeting, His Majesty the Emperor heard that the little cub was going to be slaughtered to appease the Dietrich family. "Fortunately, the Prime Minister arrived in time to say that under the Imperial Penal Code, magicians are exempted from the death penalty. ”
"When did the military department become a court?" Hugo sneered, he shook his head, it was just an expedient measure to arrest Sun Guanglong by himself, but he didn't expect to kill this child.
"But how can even a senior student compare to the 19 qualified graduates who died? "Isn't that for them to die?" Hugo questioned, "how difficult it is to train a magician. ”
"Master Akiyama will definitely fight against it. Sean nodded, "The big guys are concerned that the magician can boost morale after he arrives in the army, and the news of the magician's killing can't be spread, that's all." As for whether a magician lives or dies after going to battle, it is a matter of personal fate. ”
Sean shrugged: "Hugo, do you think I'm a coward?"
Hugo was stunned, he couldn't guess the meaning of Sean's words, this dean was surrounded by a mysterious aura, he claimed that he didn't know magic, but he was designated by the Imperial Council as the candidate to succeed Huo Lan.
"Hahaha. Without waiting for Hugo to answer, Sean smiled wryly and waved goodbye.
"That's right!" Hugo called out to Sean, "Sun Guanglong is exempted from the death penalty, and then what?"
"It's no different from being dead. Go to Devil May Cry Mountain Prison. Sean dropped a sentence and got into the carriage.
Devil May Cry Mountain Prison, a place where even ghosts cry. Hugo smiled wryly, and in the distance, lightning tore through the night, as if his heart had been torn apart. I buried an innocent child with my own hands.
