In the inspection office, Director Wilson was still stunned.

The newly renovated office had only been in use for a few days, and this was a disaster.

The handmade cashmere carpet on the ground was laid by the director himself, several landscape paintings on the wall were private collections, and a few elven vases in the corners were also his favorites.

As a craftsman-turned-official, Wilson was very particular about grace and pomp. But the lord hated extravagance and waste, and he could only decorate his office in the name of his personal hobby.

These are all the money paid by the administrator himself, and the spending of public funds is absolutely not allowed.

With these beautiful works of art, the little vanity in the director's heart is satisfied, and it is only when he sits in his office that he feels like he has become a noble-born celebrity.

Although His Excellency Hugo repeatedly teased Wilson for being an official fan, this did not prevent him from pursuing his dreams.

Now, ......, it's all gone.

The cashmere carpet was destroyed by two charred corpses, all burned with oil from the 'flame rays'.

Landscape paintings from the south have been reduced to rags, leaving only a frame to hang crookedly on the wall.

As for the elven vase, it was a high-end artwork from Silver Leaf City. Wilson spent several of his mission bounties for this.

They shattered to the ground at the moment.

Dreams shattered.

Offices can be rebuilt at public expense, but these private treasures are not reimbursable by public funds. His Excellency Hugo may have to joke behind his back.

Director Wilson is crying blood! He recovered from the fear of being attacked, and slammed the table into a rage, "What bastard came and demolished my office?" ”

There were a lot of people inside and outside the office. The guards, the adjutants, and the orc dwarves and wizards in charge of security were all relieved to see His Excellency the Commissioner scolding so aggressively.

Losing a little bit of money is nothing.

The Administrator is not dead.

It's good that you're not dead.

Only the little girl Eve. Lorraine was still shivering, she was stuffed with magic gems by her lord for an internship, and she couldn't sleep peacefully because she thought that she would be killed if she met the bad guys.

As a result, what is afraid of something, the bad guy really appeared.

The orcs warned, the fireball hit the wall, and the half-asleep Lorraine was a spirit. Two masked creatures burst in from outside the hole in the broken wall, and she crushed all the magic gems in her hand without even thinking about it.

Johnson only identified three arcane spells from behind the wall, but in fact Lorraine had seven or eight gems in his hand, each containing two or three arcane arts.

Protection, spells, plastics, prophecy, all kinds of messy arcane.

Magic gems are expensive, and they can be cast much faster than scrolls one by one. I can blast out a bunch of them in one go.

The first two Assassins were full of fireball bombardment of the wall, and the target inside was absolutely confused. As long as you are fast enough, this mission will inevitably be captured.

But the assassins are fast, and Lorraine is faster.

After the gem was crushed, the stored arcane was guided by Lorraine's consciousness, and all of them were directed in the direction of the enemy.

The two Assassins were killed on the spot by the four arcane arts. Powell and Johnson, who were behind, didn't see anything clearly, and they also suffered a wave, so they turned around and ran away in fright.

The scene is messy, distorted, and broken.

Administrator Wilson suffered heavy losses.

Faced with such a bleak scene, His Excellency the Director was furious and immediately ordered martial law to be imposed on the entire city, mobilizing 700 of his chengguan to hunt down the fleeing assassins.

The whole city was shaken.

Zhou Qingfeng happened to be in the Wizard's Tower in the city, and arrived at the scene of the incident half an hour later. He came in a hurry, but when he heard that 'the loss was not big', he relaxed.

The two bodies left behind by the Assassins had no evidence of identification. The special training they receive causes their souls to dissipate so quickly that 'Dead Talk' is impossible.

After circling the corpse twice, Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand to collect the corpse. The assassination provoked his anger and whispered to Wilson, "Two more escaped?" ”

"Yes." Wilson nodded, "The guard said that one of them was a wizard and that he had covered his form as he fled. I fear that this group of Assassins will come upon us again. ”

Johnson's operation was unsuccessful, but it must be said that his idea succeeded.

The 'rich and strong leader' is now a big business, and many backbone civil servants are supporting it. These people, like Wilson, are incapable of self-preservation.

In addition, there are thousands of civilians in the territory, and they are even more vulnerable.

No matter what kind of enemy it is, a frontal attack will not make Zhou Qingfeng feel afraid. But if he kills people randomly, he will be exhausted.

"Gotta pull out this secret nail."

With darkness enveloping the City of Coldwind, the situation is complicated, and the communication of information is slow and delayed, and the possibility of an enemy making the first move cannot be ruled out.

Zhou Qingfeng also faced the fog of war, and from the perspective of self-preservation, he agreed to strengthen the guard, and immediately ordered the mobilization of men from the territory outside the city.

"Inform our units everywhere to increase their vigilance and reduce their personnel. Inform me immediately of the situation and avoid a sneak attack by the enemy. ”

"Activate the hidden stakes that buried us inside and outside the city, I want to know where this vicious attack came from?"

"Also, find out what the nobles in the city are doing who 'don't have enough to do and more to lose'? I suspect they want to make trouble. ”

At each command, an alchemy pigeon flew out of the window.

Within an hour, information can be aggregated within a five-kilometer radius. Within three hours, the will of the lord will be carried out within twenty kilometers.

That's where efficient communication comes in.

Zhou Qingfeng gave Lorraine and Wilson a bag of magic gems again, and then hurried back to the Wizard's Tower.

The best way to keep an eye on the city is the Wizard's Tower. The prophecy department in the tower has a special detection orb, and in the event of civil unrest, the prophecy chief has the responsibility to monitor the entire city.

Although the prophecy chief old bank ran away with the whole line of wizards. Zhou Qingfeng wanted to rush back and ask Shumei Sophia if she had the ability to take the position of chief prophecy.

Events developed rapidly for this.

When Zhou Qingfeng returned to the magic hall of the Wizard's Tower, five of the eight factions ran out to prevent him from controlling the level of the prophecy system.

A large number of portals are flashing, and almost all the official wizards in the tower are actively or passively gathered here, forming two opposing factions.

The hall was crowded with people, and the situation was on the verge of eruption.

Rao, the chief of plastic energy, stood in front of the heads of several chiefs, and asked in an unyielding tone: "Your Excellency Hugo, why did you suddenly order the blockade of the whole city?" ”

"Someone has attacked the inspection office, and I am investigating the murderer."

As soon as the words came out, Zhou Qingfeng was also suddenly shocked. He immediately realized what he had overlooked. Someone is taking advantage of the tension in the city and his anger.

Really......

With a glance, all the forces in the wizarding group that were trying to maintain their independence came out. The Inspectorate suddenly blocked all the streets late at night, and even sealed off the aristocratic quarters. This made them extremely uneasy.

Zhou Qingfeng thought: "....., these guys have ghosts in their hearts." They overreacted. ”

Everyone in the wizarding group thought, ", is Hugo trying to force his hand and destroy us first?" ”

Both of them were thinking at the same time - damn it, things were moving so fast that I wasn't ready to turn my face at all.
