Chapter 44: Macchias Regniz
The exchange with Rhofate was not destined to be too long.
First, Lane has a grudge against Lufas, and second, Lufas has to receive the inspection team today, and he has no time for himself.
After a little pleasantries, cut to the chase immediately.
As last time, the exercise was divided into two themes.
One is the old rule, local support is also miscellaneous.
The other is the main one, an important investigative project that must be completed.
This time it's not a Warcraft, it's a higher-level Phantom Beast.
The so-called phantom beast, in layman's terms, is a huge magical beast that far surpasses the average size, and has incredible power. The powerful phantom beast is not even comparable to the mecha soldiers and the main chariot, and it is extremely difficult.
Fortunately, monsters of this level rarely appear in areas where humans live, unless something special happens.
A year and a half ago, both the Empire and Crossbell had phantom beasts appear, and the old Class VII with Lane as the core had slaughtered a few with their own hands - of course, a group of people, at least a team of six, or even two teams of six to forcibly besiege and kill them together.
In view of the threat of the phantom beast itself, and the meaning behind it, it is necessary to have a strong enough and mobile enough team to be on alert and investigate, and the second branch is the most suitable person.
Lane will lead the new Class VII to investigate the places where the phantom beasts have appeared, except for the first place where the phantom beasts have been killed, by a certain "wanted criminal" of the empire and his companions.
At present, the most famous wanted criminal in Crossbell can only be the former search officer, the core of the support department, Lloyd Bannings, known as the "bandit leader".
Considering that there is still enough energy to escape under the nose of the Imperial Government after defeating the phantom beast, it is estimated that Lien's second senior brothers, "Sword Saint of the Wind", Arios Marklyin and Lixia Mao, also made a move.
It's just that I don't know if Levy, Caster, and the Liber group have quietly helped - although it doesn't make much sense to help or not, the difficulty of the phantom beast is under the transcendental, and once you step into the transcendental, everyone has the strength to kill the phantom beast alone.
And letting the wanted criminals do the government a favor obviously hurts the government's reputation, and the assignment to the second branch also has this consideration - see if there is no, the students can solve it, it's not a big deal.
After receiving the task, the meeting came to an end.
Rien hesitated for a moment, but said a little about Jusis - although he didn't like Lufas, the relationship between the Elbarea brothers was really good.
Lufas also reciprocated, providing the latest information from the Intelligence Bureau - the "Abyss of the Firmament" is likely to be in Crossbell, although Lane already knows about it.
When I left the Orchid Tower, the atmosphere was much better than in front of the meeting, and the conversation was about topics that made everyone feel proud.
Lien's partner, the old Class VII.
Yuna's idol, the former Crossbell Secret Service Support Section.
Since Lane said that she had a fight with a wanted criminal when she first entered the school, Yuna didn't hide it, and the new Class VII is no stranger to both.
Knowing the great achievements of the Secret Service Support Section, I also know that the old VII class is more capable than the other.
Especially the latter, Yuna complained more than once: Why do you all have such a big background.
The first Miriam to meet is "Iron Blood".
The last three they met were the heiress of Alsside, the future baroness; the son of a famous general of the Imperial Army; The little princess of the "Zephyr Brigade".
Now there is the younger brother of Governor Crossbell, the acting head of the family of the Duke of Elbaria, the four famous families, and it is too much of a coincidence to say that it is a coincidence.
Li En also thought it was a coincidence, and even suspected that it was deliberately arranged.
However, in retrospect, the elements of arrangement are indispensable, but they are not the product of complete arrangement, but the center of the convergence of destinies caused by multiple perspectives.
The people standing behind Class VII are not just arrangeable if they want to, even the emperor and the prime minister may not be able to control everything.
According to Lien's analysis, it should be like this: Olibert has been looking for a way to find a way to go the third way, and has been planning since Tova's time, and has come up with the predecessor of Class VII, a special team of four seniors.
With the successful experience, it began to be put into practice, and the chairman, three directors, and other relevant people each sent in school-age students for observation. (Lane and Laura were sent in by the Iron Will and the neutral faction led by Ogua)
These are the ingredients of the arrangement, and the remaining few people belong to the boat or just meet the target.
For example, Faye, she is teaching in Class VII because of Sarah, and she pushes the boat with the flow.
Elliot, Emma, and Gaius are just on the mark.
Although Eliot's background is not weak, it is not as good as that of Jusis, and he is not the only one like Tolzri, who can come in, and the adaptability of the magic wand accounts for the majority.
The same goes for Emma, the witch has long been hidden in the shadows, unknown to the outside world, and she was able to Class VII because of the magic wand experiment, plus her excellent grades and status as a border resident - she can't be all the children of big people.
Gaius was also a frontier resident, but because of his ancestral and royal ties, he was not suitable for a class of nobles or commoners.
It is definitely a coincidence that these three people can enter Class VII, accounting for the majority, but I didn't expect that the border residents are not simple.
Of course, there is no need to tell the students about these secrets.
And what happened next also confirmed Yuna's complaint.
As soon as he returned to the hall on the first floor of the Orchid Tower, Lane walked towards a young man with a smile on his face.
"Macchias!"
The short green hair is neatly lost, and the double-breasted special uniform is matched with the hard lines of the face, and a serious and dull atmosphere arises spontaneously.
Fortunately, when he saw Lane, the man also smiled and pushed the half-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose to ease the atmosphere.
"Haha, we're meeting so soon, Lane."
"I just arrived this morning, what about you?"
"I arrived yesterday, but the supervision business starts today like you, and then I must go with the seniors in the bureau to 'say goodbye' to the governor."
Not every unit has a special train or a special airboat like Tolz, and normally business trips arrive one day in advance and officially start work the next day.
"That's right, we just finished saying hello to him, so you can cheer up."
"I'm ready to come to my senses."
Looking at Macchias' age, and looking at Rien's expression, Kurt and Yuna had already guessed that this was also a member of the old Class VII.
Altina then reveals the identity of Macchias.
Macchias Regnitz, the son of the current head of the Imperial Capital, who belonged to the old Class VII, is currently working in the Imperial "Judicial Inspectorate", responsible for monitoring all administrative organs in the Empire for improper behavior, to put it bluntly, he is specifically troublesome with his colleagues, and is one of the most unpopular departments of all the departments of the Empire.
In the current turbulent environment, Macchias is definitely asking for trouble.
With Macchias' background and the second grade in the whole school year, what good department in the military and political circles can't get into? There's no need to run to such a thankless place.
The reason for doing so was entirely by his own choice. After experiencing the civil war a year and a half ago and the death of their comrades, the students of the old Class VII all have an awareness and are changing the empire and the world in their own way.
This is true of Lane's path as an instructor, Faye's path as a guerrilla, Eliot's tour, and Laura's path as a surrogate master.
Among them, Macchias is the most radical, using power to contain power, regulating the empire with the rule of law, breaking down barriers, and striving for a better future for the empire.
Although Rien always told Yuna that he and his companions were not as good as the Secret Service Support Section, it was only humbling and reassuring.
I and my companions are no worse than anyone else - now Rien has that confidence!
PS: It's a pity, Ma Daddy is such a good character, wearing glasses, Sven Wen, more in line with the standards of the pharaoh to control the villain or the hidden boss, at that time, I guessed that Ma Daddy was the most popular one, but the result was soy sauce all the way to the end, it's really not an ordinary pity. And the broken rings and golden butterflies that flowed out before were only known by their names, not by their people.
