Chapter VIII: Witnesses

"Three wizard hearts, are they like the magic orbs I have nearby?" asked Balin, holding a golden scepter in a DHS interrogation room, looking down at the terrified woman in the chair.

"The colors are different, but they all revolve around the wizard. He can fly, he can emit a lot of eyes, and a monster with elder's tentacles" Hiraj struggled to organize the language and try to describe the scene as realistically as possible. She was terrified, witnessing the battle between the sorcerer and the sacrificial monster, and witnessing the sudden and tragic death of so many believers. He was then brought into the room by a group of indifferent Knights of Truth. Men armed with scepters or wearing high-ranking knight's armor constantly came in and interrogated her.

The sudden scene made this woman who was just a helper in the bakery frightened. She didn't know if these people would see her as an accomplice to the murderer. Everyone else is dead, only he is alive, and the suspicion is too great.

So she tried to reconstruct the course of the incident in order to clear her suspicions.

"Don't be nervous, I told you. We are not the rogue states in the Wisdom Palace region under the totalitarian power of the central government. We have a constitution inherited from the wizards, and the constitution will protect your legal rights. Nikita, with a friendly smile on her face, reached out and stroked the woman's back and took her a cup of hot water.

As a veteran member of the Homeland Security Council, she has also worked on the front line of the Homeland Security Agency, and knows that the first task at this time is to calm the emotions of witnesses, so that the incident can be restored in the shortest possible time and the truth can be found.

Unfortunately, with the election just around the corner, the Cabinet and the Homeland Security Committee won't give her time to counsel the witnesses. Her arms couldn't twist her thighs, and the continuous interrogation had brought the woman to the brink of collapse.

Bahrain listened carefully to the woman's description, constantly drawing diagrams of associations on paper. Ask softly from time to time.

Bahrain can also feel the emotional instability of a woman, and dare not push her too much.

"What kind of box?" asked Nikita, who suddenly found the key, in a soft voice.

Bahrain made a gesture, and soon a DHS agent handed over a picture of the scene reproduced using the apprentice's witchcraft imagery. The picture shows a wooden chest in ruins.

"It's such a box, and it was flown away by the wizard's shoulder. When he saw the photocopy, he immediately spoke up.

"A third-level wizard who gave up the hunt and snatched a wooden box from the grocery store?, and there is anyone else in the grocery store who can fight the wizard?" Barin felt that there was no clue about what was going on.

A Level 3 wizard who can fight continuously must have a Wizard Tower Moon Well to provide mana support. And a wizard who already has a wizard's tower doesn't study witchcraft in the tower and runs out to snatch a box from a grocery store?

"Inform the Knights of Truth that they will be assigned additional personnel to protect the wooden crates that have been found, and that they may be key evidence. Inform the Wizards Council to immediately contact the inside of the Tower of Babel, ask for wizard support, and inspect the chest" Nikita was very experienced, and immediately understood the importance of the wooden chest. Able to fight against Level 3 Wizards, and able to attract Level 3 Wizards with Wizard Towers. Such a thing, such an organization, is not something that the Golden Council can fight against.

And that wooden box is likely to be the real thing left behind after the tiger left the mountain, and what the wizard took away is probably just a fake. Therefore, it is necessary to guard against the raiding of mysterious religious organizations.

Nikita crossed her waist with one hand and pointed with the other, looking even more heroic than her previous charm in the golden garden.

The knights with swords immediately turned back and went out to deliver orders.

Nikita put one hand on the table, and three slender fingers tapped back and forth on the table: "Jack, immediately sort out the network of interpersonal relationships in the grocery store and the list of counterparts who communicate with each other!" Nikita commanded in a loud voice.

Bahrain also quickly understood, and said: "See if there are any grocery store transactions, import and export vouchers, and account books." I'll try to help you sort out his financial transactions. ”

When Nikita heard this, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she ordered the agent who was still left beside her: "Why are you stunned, didn't you hear Mr. Wizard's words?

The two agents immediately turned around and walked towards the evidence room.

Hiraj asked weakly, "Benefactor, Honorable Councillor, is there anything else about me here?"

Nikita, whose sassy posture immediately softened and charmed again, put her arm around her shoulders and whispered, "Don't worry, you'll be fine, I promise you." Sit patiently for a while, it's not safe outside, and I'll send you home personally when it's safe. ”

Nikita whispered a few words of comfort, led Balin out of the interrogation room, walked to the door and instructed the guards: "Give her a glass of milk and bring some food in." Then he led Bahrain towards the conference room.

"That's amazing!" said Bahrain as they walked past the busy crowd as they walked side by side.

"It's almost a general election, it's stressful" Nikita walked to the side of the service area, asked for two cups of coffee, and handed one to Bahrain: "I have to stay up late again"

Balin leaned against the wall and took a sip of the bitter liquid: "Clueless, tricky!"

A middle-aged man walked over, and Bahrain already recognized it as Gall Security Director Phil.

"We're going to send the witnesses back," Phil said to Nikita, nodding to Bahrain.

"No, she's not safe right now!" Nikita immediately refused, without mercy.

"It was the order of Fernando, the chairman of the committee," explained Fier, "and the committee thought that she should be allowed to lure her forward"

"Fart!Did the committee vote?Why didn't I, the committee member, know?Why did the committee put a freeman in danger?" Nikita asked like a tigress, "We have a constitution inherited from wizards, and the constitution protects the property and life of every free citizen!"

"The general election is just around the corner, and there's a lot of pressure on the Cabinet. There is no way, the situation must be calmed down as soon as possible!" Fei Er's tone was obviously helpless.

Nikita, who smashed his fist on the table, scolded angrily: "A bunch of fools who only show off their prestige on the girl with little finger, the only eyewitness has an accident, where can we find new clues? No, I'll go find Fernando"

"It's useless, Mr. Speaker has agreed. With the Speaker's order, Fernando has the right to pass the committee to vote!" Ferr stretched out his big hand and put it on Nikita's shoulder and comforted: "Do your job, soon the Speaker's Chief of Staff Wilson will come! You know what he thinks of you!"

"Hand away, we're divorced. Nikita looked at Fei Ye coldly, and only after he withdrew his hand awkwardly did he sneer disdainfully: "Wilson is a son of a bitch, and so are you!"

After saying that, he turned around and left angrily, kicking the chair that was blocking the way as he walked, which made the busy group of agents look strange.

Fei Yi shrugged his shoulders at Bahrain and smiled bitterly: "Her temper ...... Mr. Honourable Member of Parliament of Bahrain. Please help me keep an eye on her. Her restlessness is well-known throughout the Department of Homeland Security!"

Balin sighed helplessly, nodded and turned to chase after Nikita: "What are you going to do?"

"I can't help a group of bitches who want to send the witnesses away, I have to go back with her. Hold on to her, and don't let potential rats kill her. ”

"Aren't you their opponent, going to die?" Barin also felt that this woman was really restless.

"I'm trained after all, and not all of the Honorable Councillors are politicians," Nikita led Barin all the way to the equipment warehouse, took out the ID card made by the wizard's apprentice, and handed it to the guards after passing it. He entered the storeroom and chose a piece of women's leather armor to change into, and brought out two repeating crossbows made by the wizard's apprentice. Her beautiful long hair was pulled up casually, and the jeweled earrings that hung down her ears were also taken off and put away.

Walked out of the equipment depot and threw a crossbow to Balin: "Come with me, wizard?"

Bahrain, who took the crossbow and looked up and down, responded helplessly, to be honest, this woman is quite attractive to Bahrain. The wizard didn't want her to face danger alone. After all, our Mr. Wizard is still too young and impulsive.

"I don't know how to use this, do you have moon spring water?

"Wait" Nikita turned around and returned to the equipment warehouse, rummaging left and right, and came out with ten bottles of blue liquid: "Is it enough?"

"Almost"

Nikita threw him another wallet full of hanging bags: "Put it on!"

Balin changed into a wallet, inserted Moon Spring water into a hanging bag, and the two walked out of the DHS gate. The DHS office is not located in the Golden Garden, but in a tall ten-story building on the Silk Road. Without the help of a sorcerer, mortal abilities would not have been able to construct such a tall building.

Bright street lamps illuminated the wide Silk Road, and three horse-drawn carriages were parked in an open space outside the gates of the Department of Homeland Security. More than thirty knights of truth were armed with witchcraft-blessed crossbows, vigilant around them.

The two walked out of the door of the Department of Homeland Security together and found Mrs. Hiraj in the carriage with a worried face. Nikita opened the door and jumped into the carriage to sit next to her.

Bahrain then entered, seated across from the two.

Nikita opened the window and made a gesture as a group of Knights of Truth drove the carriage up the Silk Road. Three identical carriages, from the outside, it is difficult to pinpoint which one the witness was hiding in.

By this time, the Homeland Security Committee of the House of Glory of the Golden Council was already in a heated quarrel. The entire cabinet and the Speaker sat in a separate room at the Homeland Security Committee, but there was silence.

After Balin and the others left, another team of hundreds of Knights of Truth escorted three identical carriages from the Golden Garden and stopped in front of the gate of the Department of Homeland Security.

Two Plantagenet Councillors personally carried a wooden box out of the carriage and entered the gate under the tight protection of the army.

In the underground poster's room of the Department of Homeland Security, Agent Jack Klada opened a white cloth covering the body. Suddenly, my eyes were really wide.

Hurriedly pulled the white cloth off the other corpses.

"How could it be them?" The detective, who was in a state of extreme shock, immediately turned around and ran out of the autopsy, and the forensic wizard apprentice who grabbed him aside, shouted, "Send me the image of the corpse from the grocery store, hurry!"

After giving a command, without waiting for the wizard apprentice to ask more, he turned and ran towards the stairs.

It was so unexpected, what kind of conspiracy was involved? Those men were dead early in the morning, and the images of their bodies were still in his desk drawer. It stands to reason that it should have rotted a long time ago. How did it end up at the grocery store again? And it's a new death?

"No," he suddenly thought of something, and quickly turned back.

"The corpse may be resurrected!" reminded Jack before turning and running towards the stairs again.

Panting, he went up to the interrogation area on the third floor, and hurriedly pulled a passing agent and asked, "What about Councilor Nikita and Councillor Wizard?"

The agent who was pulled by him was stunned, not knowing what happened to this guy who had been following Nikita. However, this guy is also notoriously restless under the influence of Nikita.

Frowning and saying, "They escorted the witness away"

"Where's Director Phil?"

"The Director went to the Golden Garden"

"If the Wizard Councilor returns, tell him at once and let them come to the Golden Garden. Tell them there's something wrong with those corpses, big problem!" Jack hurriedly commanded, and hurried downstairs again.

A desert horse was pulled out of the stable behind the Department of Homeland Security, turned on the horse, and galloped up the Silk Road to the golden garden not far away.

Throwing the horse to the Unsullied who guarded the garden, he showed his ID card and galloped up the stairs.

Golden Garden, five floors of the Glory Council of the Parliamentary Homeland Security Committee.

In the brightly lit conference hall, a group of members of the Homeland Security Committee were arguing fiercely.

Several bigwigs of the wizarding committee sat aside and made a few comments from time to time.

Jack showed his badge and was intercepted by the Knights of Truth guarding him a short distance from the council chamber.

"Agent, you're not qualified to go inside. Please go back."

A Truth Knight said with a blank face.

Jack, who was sweating profusely, gasped a few times, and said anxiously with a mouthful of saliva at the moment: "Please help me notify the Director of the Homeland Security Agency, I have important information"

The Knight of Truth nodded, turned and walked to the council hall, and said a few more words to the Knight of Truth guarding outside the hall.

After a while, Phil, whose clothes were ripped and crumpled, came out of the council hall and walked towards Jack, who was waiting outside.

"What's the matter?" asked Feir

Jack handed him a few images and said, "These are a few dead sand bandits from the town where the Grand Knight of Talon and the wizard Balin went to attack last month. At that time, several of our agents went to the scene to check on it, and I remember very well that the bandits were all dead at that time. ”

"But now there are several bodies in the grocery store, and the forensic examination is freshly dead. I suspect someone has resurrected them by witchcraft!"

Jack succinctly expounded his findings and suspicions.

Fei Yi pursed her lips and took the image. After carefully flipping through the light of the three suspended crystal balls on the sixth layer, "Are you sure?"

"OK," Jack said

"Come in with me," Phil beckoned, and the Guardian Knight of Truth let Jack go. The two walked to the chamber.

In an unknown place in the desert, a dozen monks guard a hut.

A ** man in the house had his hands hung on hemp rope, and his whole body was covered with bloody scars.

The three Wizarding Hearts dimmed, and several chains covered with strange runes wrapped around the Wizard's Heart.

A burly man with a top body splashed a bucket of ice-cold water on the wizard's body.

The wizard, who had fallen into a coma, gradually woke up, struggling to open his blood-blurred eyes.

A monk, who was sitting in a chair watching the execution, said in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Philip, shall we talk?"
