Chapter 69

There was once a fool who came out of nowhere and said that although the so-called magic, in most cases, the stronger the magic, the better, but in some cases, some of the most basic magic that people tend to ignore can also be greatly improved in power after being tempered. Ike believed in it, because that's what he did. As the former captain of the Iron Fleet, the only thing that has been criticized is the weakness of guiding magic. It's not because Ike is not good at studying, but because there are too many variegated colors in the guide magic chain that adapts to him, and there are four or five fixed color chain holes on a guide chain that basically bids farewell to high-level magic.

However, there is no way to be endless, and he gave up high-level magic, specializing in low-level magic and enhanced magic of his own attributes, and with his strong talent, he made a breakthrough in strengthening magic into weapons. The technology that was so ordinary that it was ordinary instantly became supernatural in his hands. can do what others can't, this is one of the reasons why he became a captain at a young age and was not resisted and was admired.

Two fireballs flew quickly towards the shadow's elbow, exploding violently. The instantaneous explosion and the damage of the flames made the black shadow feel pain, and he couldn't help but shout, and the knife in his hand fell off.

After the fireball exploded, Ike's figure had already followed, and the black shadow was not slow to react, seeing that the magic was already secretly bad, regardless of the burns, he put his other gun against the mayor's head, staring fiercely at Ike who rushed in.

"Don't come here! I'll kill him if I come back again!" ”

"Mr. Anester?!"

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to appear in such a place, the goddess really loves to joke with people." Anaest smiled darkly, pulled Mayor McDowell up and quietly took a few steps back.

"I'm really well prepared, I'm ready for my pistols."

"Mr. Annest ... Why the hell are you doing this. Ellie gritted her teeth. You, who have always respected and supported your grandfather like that, why would you! ”

"Hehe, hahahahaha!" Anaest laughed maniacally, "Ellie, I'm just like you." I'm already tired of this situation and don't want to put up with it anymore. That's all I would have taken! ”

"I see, are you the one who stole the name of silver?" Ike sighed, "I thought it would be a big fish, but I didn't expect it to be a small shrimp." ”

"Hmph, whether it's Lubacher, or Black Moon, or the Search Section, or your so-called Spy Support Section. Even if it's real silver! It's all just puppets dancing in the palm of my hand! ”

"Put the old man down now, I won't kill him, if I attempt to kill, it should be much lighter than murder, right?" Ike looked at Anester coldly, because of the clothing, he didn't carry a weapon at all today, but against a self-righteous guy, it didn't seem that he needed a weapon.

"Hehe, this is my line. One of the representatives of the autonomous region, the life of this old thing, will be taken by me in front of your eyes, does it matter? Anaest sneered.

"I don't ... All right. What do you want. Ike sighed helplessly, no matter who was asked by a beautiful girl with tears in her eyes pulling at the corners of her clothes, she probably wouldn't do it.

"Hehe, it looks like you're doing well." Seeing everything, Anaist's steps moved forward slightly: "You don't want your granddaughter to witness the moment of grandpa's death, do you?" In that case, how about you all retreat to the corner and make a way for me? ”

After weighing it up again, Ike pulled Ellie behind him and silently stepped aside, looking at Anast coldly.

"Good." Satisfied, Annest walked slowly over with Mayor McDowell in his arms, and when he reached the door, he shoved Mayor McDowell violently, slammed into Ike, and rushed out of the door with a maniacal laugh.

"Who are you laughing at?"

Suddenly, a palm slammed into Anest's stomach in the shadows, and the huge impact forced him to take several steps backwards, and he fainted with a roll of his eyes.

"Really, it's too incompetent to learn to play assassination with this ability." Ike looked down dissatisfiedly and leaned into Aneste. Fortunately, although he was a little heavy, but fortunately, this person's body was not bad, and he just knocked him out.

Dragged Arnest to the VIP room and looked at Ellie, who was a little stunned, and after Ike handcuffed Arnest with the borrowed handcuffs, Ike disappeared beside Ellie.

"It's just a clone, it's not a big deal." Ike explained, "Compared to this, how is the old man?" ”

"Hehe, it's not a big deal." A weak voice came from the mayor in Ellie's arms.

"Grandpa, have you regained consciousness?!" Ellie said in surprise.

Leaning over to look at Mayor McDowell's state, Ike nodded, "It's not a big deal, it should be okay to recuperate." I've called Lloyd and they're coming. If you take it to the hospital now, it won't be a big problem. ”

As he spoke, there was a sudden uproar in the audience, and as the music became louder and louder, the performance came to a climax.

"That's amazing," Ellie exclaimed quietly.

"That's right... Even though this happened, it still allowed me to continue to enjoy the show until the end. This is also my etiquette to all of you in the Rainbow Theatre... ”

With the loneliness of the performance, this farce also came to an end, the mayor who woke up after watching the performance, along with the knocked out Aneste, was rushed to the hospital by ambulance, and the news from the female reporter was that the mayor was found out because of embezzlement and various evil deeds, and in order to preemptively announce that he killed the mayor. Because he is the mayor's secretary, he can learn a lot of secret information from it, and Kurotsuki Lubacher and Silver are one of them.

"It always feels like something is wrong." After leaving the Secret Service Support Section, Ike pondered.

"It's that idiot." Ling replied.

"yes, people like him don't look like people who would do such crazy things. Let's not talk about action, first of all, I can't pass in IQ, but then again, why would such a person be hired as the mayor's secretary? Even I can see that this guy is not this material at all? Not to mention the well-informed Mayor Crossbell. Ike scratched his head, puzzled.

"According to the information from the Search Section, it is said that he is completely delirious and has fallen into a state where he is unable to talk normally," Tio replied.

"Insanity?" Ike was stunned: "It can't be pretended, right?" ”

"If you search a department, there should be a way to distinguish the authenticity." Tio replied, "Now that the interrogation has yielded nothing, he has been sent to the detention center for the time being." ”

"Is the spirit staggered... It's not time. Ike frowned in thought.

"The section chief said that he was going to ask the church's psychiatric experts or the relevant personnel of Ursla Hospital to help."

"Hey, church? I've seen those methods, and it seems that the idiot will be able to handle it for the rest of the day. Ike smiled and walked straight ahead of him, "By the way, Theo, don't you have a vacation after this incident?" ”

"Ike is going to have some stupid ideas, so no, I'm going to play with Ling next."

"Huh? How about taking me aboard? ”

Two: "No! ”

。。。。。。

Mayor McDowell's residence, Ellie looked at the old mayor with a worried face, "It's too fast to go back to work tomorrow"

"Anyway, I'm just bruising and spraining. I've been resting for five days, but I'm more energetic. McDowell replied indifferently.

"Please don't be kidding, something so serious, and the chief secretary is gone. You have to get a good rest. Ellie said solemnly.

"The founding anniversary is also approaching, and the work is piling up. This level of trifle alone is not enough for me to abdicate my responsibilities as mayor. The old mayor replied.

"How could it be... Grandpa, you... Isn't it uncomfortable, not remorseful? You have been so great to Mr. Aneste, and yet he has betrayed you... But why are you still ... ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ It would be a lie to say that this incident did not hit me. I checked, and it seems that he had been secretly embezzling the firm's funds for a long time, and finally was cornered by excessive mental pressure, so he made that impulsive move. I am also responsible for failing to detect and stop him in time. But! The old mayor looked stunned and said categorically, "I am a politician, and I have vowed to dedicate all this old bone to the present and future of Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture." No matter what happens, all I can do is do my part. That's what I've always asked of myself. ”

"Grandpa..."

"I'm sorry, Ellie, I couldn't keep your father Leon ten years ago, and I let my daughter, your mother, run away from home like that. And I'm still just as incompetent ... There is no power to change the status quo, but he must always hold on to the position of mayor of Crossbell. You must hate me. ”

"How could it be! My grandfather has always been my pride! Ellie said loudly, "Although I was sad for a while, I have come out, and the reason why I became a police officer is because I want to help my grandfather in other ways." And I'm sure it's going to help Crossbell as well. But when this happened, and Mr. Anester was gone, I, I should have quit my job as a police officer and come back to help my grandfatherβ€”"

"Don't say stupid things!" The old mayor's voice was unusually harsh: "If you regret it, you should give up immediately, but you haven't regretted it, have you?" In this case, if you still easily say that you want to change the path of your life, you are disrespectful and irresponsible to many people. To your colleagues, to me ... Especially to yourself. ”

"Grandpa..."

"Don't worry about me, the secretary is not alone, and when it comes to emergencies, Helma can help me." The old mayor's voice became kind again, "I originally planned to retire next term, but now it seems that it is a little difficult." But it's nothing, just postponing the leisurely seclusion for another five years. If it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead long ago, so be proud. Trust your work and partners. ”

"Grandpa... I understand! Ellie McDowell will return to the Secret Services Section tomorrow. Ellie saluted and replied solemnly.

"Also, the kid with you looks like a good boy."

"Grandpa!"
