Let's go back a little back to the morning before the goblin merchant was caught, when the Municipal Council was established and the municipal cleaning policy was enacted.

In the early morning of this day, before being woken up by the hustle and bustle of the city, the Bright Moon Rabbit, Katarina Ivanova, who is codenamed by this name in the Authority, received a call from the peripheral lineage [Adam] early in the morning.

It was an urgent call-up to the special training centre at the Herserem Tower, where not only Authority members were trained, but also the command center for strategic decision-making and emergency operations.

At the moment of receiving the call, the Bright Moon Rabbit immediately realized that it would be an unusual day.

She quickly donned the standard Authority field combat uniform, checked the equipment she was carrying, and made sure everything was in place, before quickly heading to the special training center in the Herserem Tower.

Drops –

[Iris certification passed——]

A gentle beam of light emanated from the recognizer and swept over the Bright Moon Rabbit's eyes. She stood silently, waiting for the system to confirm her identity.

The light of the iris recognizer is extinguished, and the mechanical sound calmly announces the success of the certification.

After passing the certification, she began to enter the interior of the Herserem Tower, and continued to work her way to higher levels, which meant that she would have to undergo more vetting steps.

[Multi-dimensional security scan start-up——]

[Multi-dimensional security scan completed——]

[Thaumaturgical power testing——]

[Thaumaturgical strength is stable——]

[Permission confirmed——]

[Access rights confirmation completed.]

Welcome, Bright Moon Rabbit! 】

The final mechanical announcement carried a hint of "welcome", indicating that the Bright Moon Rabbit had successfully passed all safety certification procedures and that she was now able to enter the special training center.

Poof—

When the door slowly opened, a faint light pierced the darkness inside the special training center.

Standing in the doorway, Bright Moon Rabbit clutching the Edison Federation Picatinny Type 4 firearm—a well-designed, high-performance weapon—took a deep breath, felt the cold touch of the gun in her hand and the resonance of her own heartbeat, and then stepped forward and stepped firmly into the special training center.

The interior of the training center presents a serious and professional atmosphere, with high-tech facilities and equipment scattered throughout the hall and training areas.

The design of the center is both functional and avant-garde, with various displays and control panels lining the walls, displaying real-time data on training progress, mission overviews, and safety warnings. The light source mainly comes from recessed LED strips and some dynamically adjustable lighting for tactical training, creating a training environment that is both focused and varied.

The core area of the Special Training Centre is equipped with a number of simulation training rooms, each capable of simulating different environments and scenarios, from high-density urban combat to harsh wilderness survival, providing members of the Authority with a comprehensive range of practical training opportunities.

In addition, the center is equipped with advanced thaumaturgical laboratories dedicated to exploring and practicing the application of thaumaturgy in combat, as well as training thaumaturgists in special skills.

It is hard to imagine that such a well-equipped building was built in less than half a year.

Step –

[Special Instruction Detected——]

[[Adam] begins the onboarding service-]

[As needed, Adam has the right to call your Unified Mind Report in the Authority to generate the corresponding auxiliary mode——]

【Testing——】

[Tested Completed——]

[Started assisted AI feature generation: Self-discipline]

[Features: self-control, discipline, adherence to goals]

[Applicable scenario: For users who need help staying focused and achieving their goals.] 】

The moment the Bright Moon Rabbit stepped steadily into the special training center, her movements triggered a series of sophisticated and efficient responses.

She only felt a vibration from her waist, and then she subconsciously looked down at her waist, and a small pinch of azure data flames suddenly burned, and the layers of data cube flames covered the peripheral lineage around her waist before she could react.

Poof—

From the metal device around the waist of her field uniform, a remarkable metamorphosis occurred.

A small levitating ball mechanism, no larger than the size of a baseball, deftly unfolded from the device and began to float lightly beside her.

The floating sphere has a smooth, futuristic surface and a mechanical structure that resembles rabbit ears on its head.

A look of surprise appeared on her face as she looked at the ball floating beside her.

"Adam?"

Self-disciplined Adam [( ̄へ ̄)]: "In." ”

Looking at the serious little expression that appeared on the ball, the serious face of the Bright Moon Rabbit was a little dazed.

The Authority's peripherals are fine!?

ADAM IS AN ADVANCED INTELLIGENT PERIPHERAL DEVICE DEVELOPED BY THE AUTHORITY, DESIGNED FOR MEMBERS OF THE AUTHORITY'S NON-CELESTIAL LINEAGE - THIS IS THE OFFICIAL EXPRESSION OF THE AUTHORITY.

In his normal state, [Adam] is a metal card in the shape of a card, inserted into a thaumaturgical integrated device used to read data, which integrates massive amounts of data, advanced algorithms, and real-time communication capabilities to provide Authority members with the necessary intelligence support, strategic analysis, and real-time battlefield guidance. It is not only the right-hand man of the Authority Officers in carrying out their tasks, but also the bridge between the Operators and the Authority's think tank.

Whenever an operator is faced with a complex situation or needs urgent support, [Adam] always provides the most effective strategies and solutions.

It's just that the Bright Moon Rabbit now thinks that the current Authority operators don't seem to know anything about [Adam] around him.

Adam (σ_σ): "Operator Bright Moon, I need to remind you that you still have 1 minute to miss the debriefing time. As your secondary AI, I want you to be able to adhere to the concept of time; As a think tank clone of the Authority, I want the Authority's officers to be disciplined! ”

"......, okay."

The Bright Moon Rabbit, who was taught a lesson by the self-disciplined Adam, was stunned for a moment, then nodded with kindness, and then the big rabbit trotted all the way to the debriefing center with the floating rabbit.

Soon, they were in a mountain simulation training room.

This was the meeting point on the bulletin, and when the Bright Moon Rabbit strode steadily into the mountain simulation training room, Adam, the rabbit beside her, suddenly flew forward at an unexpected speed.

This sudden movement immediately caught her attention, and she subconsciously cast her eyes in the direction of [Adam's] flight.

As her gaze followed, she quickly noticed two figures in front of her.

The first figure was a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes, dressed in a black suit and holding a silver cane in his hand.

This young man exudes a warm and gentle temperament, and a soft smile on his face, giving people the impression of being extremely approachable and easy to get along with.

The other figure is all too familiar to the Bright Moon Rabbit.

It was her immediate boss, the top head of the Enforcement Inspectorate, Tours Coubert.

The fox-eared boy was dressed in casual clothes, and he was talking respectfully to the blonde young man, who was holding a file in his left hand, which was not holding a cane.

When the Bright Moon Rabbit looked at him, he looked up as if he was aware of it, and the golden eyes smiled kindly at her.

"When were they here, why didn't I find out." Such a question sprung up in the heart of the Bright Moon Rabbit. If it weren't for Adam's abrupt flight, she would have almost never spotted them, apparently they were so close to her.

When the self-disciplined Adam flew in front of the blonde youth, his usually rigorous mechanical personality seemed to be swept away, and he became as spiritual as a loyal pet.

It flies affectionately around the blonde youth, as if looking for attention and intimacy.

The blonde youth was neither surprised nor repulsed by this performance, but extended his index finger and gently wrapped it around Adam's smooth shell, guiding him like a dog.

In response, the self-disciplined Adam appeared extremely excited, and spun in place several times, as if to express his joy and excitement.

This scene is undoubtedly an experience that shocks the three views for the Bright Moon Rabbit.

You're a rabbit...... Oh no, you're a think tank clone, not a dog!

She had the impression that Adam had always been a serious, efficient work partner, with an almost perfect logic and execution that Bright Moon relied on. However, the spirituality and emotion that Adam exhibits in front of him is almost like a creature.

Despite the shock and confusion in his heart, the Bright Moon knew that now was not the time to delve into these phenomena. As an agent of the Authority, she immediately put away the fluctuations in her heart in front of the two important people in front of her, trotted up to them, and immediately took proper etiquette and performed a standard salute.

"Bright Moon Rabbit, an agent of Law Enforcement's A7 Squad, report to you."

Turce glanced at the Bright Moon Rabbit, and then looked at the Director of the Authority, who was still lingering on the Rabbit Machinery, the Fourth Sword Bearer in the Heavenly Kingdom.

"Mechage?"

"Well, a little trick, I got it from a geocentric civilization when I was out on duty the year before last, and I wrote a book about it." Xia Xiu stopped lingering in his hand, and the small round ball in front of him was the small machine soul that he had just used his authority to ignite a miniature fire.

This little thing can both link to the real [Adam] and work on its own in LAN mode.

This is one of the small benefits he gives to his employees.

"You can still write books?" Turce's face was full of surprise.

"That book is very popular in the two houses of heaven, and the 9~16-year-old little angel often sends me emails to the public mailbox, asking for my autographed book."

Xia Xiu glanced at Turs, who was full of disbelief, stretched out his hand and swiped at the void, ripples appeared in the space, and the [Private Customization] ability was activated, and then he took out a copy of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" from his portable treasure house.

"Either way, I'll sign it." The blonde youth raised the book in his hand at Tours.

"No, no." Turce outright refused.

"Then here you go, it's not that I'm boasting, this book is really interesting. Especially the chapter on the civilization of the mechanical city-state, there are many tips for the maintenance of the machine soul, which is just useful for you now, if the newly awakened machine soul is maintained and cultivated, there is a high chance that the machine soul can awaken the characteristics of the machine soul, well, that is, the thaumaturgical entry in our regular language. ”

Xia Xiu directly handed the book to the hand of the Bright Moon Rabbit, who remained in a standing state after the salute.

“…… Ah, thanks. With a hint of hesitation in her voice, she took the travelogue from the center of the earth with a confused expression.

After taking the book, her eyes naturally fell on the cover of the book in her hand, and next to the four big characters "Journey to the Center of the Earth", the author's name was prominently marked - Hugh Abraham.

The name is familiar to every member of the Authority, and it represents the status and unparalleled accomplishments of a legend.

But for the Bright Moon Rabbit, this moment of realization was obviously far beyond her previous cognition, because the one standing in front of him was the apostle of the human world, the [crowned one] of the top class of thaumaturgy.

Her hands trembled involuntarily when she realized that the blonde youth, the man who had easily handed her a book, was Hugh Abraham himself, the fourth sword-bearer in the kingdom and the director of the Authority.

The Bright Moon Rabbit looked at Hugh Abraham in shock, she was so excited that she didn't know how to describe her mood for a while.

"Katarina Ivanova."

While the Moonlight was still basking in the shock of Hugh Abraham himself standing in front of her, she heard the call of her real name.

The Fourth Sword Bearer of the Heavenly Kingdom, the Director of the Authority, called out her full name in his calm and authoritative voice.

At that moment, her heart seemed to skip a beat, and all the surprise and uncertainty churned in her mind.

"Here." Almost as a reflex, the Bright Moon Rabbit straightened her waist and replied with the posture and attitude that an operator should have. Her body naturally shows respect for her superiors and reverence for the position of director.

Xia Xiu smiled slightly, with a hint of warmth and relief in that smile, "Don't be so nervous, relax." ”

His voice was calm and full of soothing power, as if it could penetrate the tension in the Bright Moon Rabbit's heart and make her feel a little reassured.

"I'm calling you over this time because there's something I want to ask for your opinion. Tours, you should have a good chat with your selected subordinate, she seems to be afraid of me. Xia Xiu smiled at Turce on the side.

"Okay." Turce nodded, then motioned for the Bright Moon to follow him, and the other immediately followed him.

The two started talking not far from Xia Xiu.

Xia Xiu watched this scene silently, and at the same time, his mind began to recall the archival record of the Bright Moon Rabbit, the first task force leader agent that Tours submitted to him.

- Moon Rabbit (Katarina Ivanova) -

++ Summary: In 1588 in the Terra calendar, the Barbara Strategic Zone in the Nether of Oreteting was discovered by researchers from Utopia. At the time of discovery, she was highly tainted by the Aether Ocean.

The product of the infection is a pair of rabbit ears, which give her more auditory capturing abilities.

In 1588.11.7, the subject signed the Treaty of Utopian Executives, which provided it with a thaumaturgical system to assist it in constructing thaumaturgic circuits. Correspondingly, she will serve utopia.

++ Distortion Indicator: 137~159 (The normal distortion indicator for thaumaturgists in Stage 1 is 130~150 {100 for ordinary people)

++ Solution: It has extremely destructive power and can be used as a storming team, but the degree of distortion is high, and you need to pay attention to its loss of control at all times.

——————

This is the basic information, and there will be an investigation into the identity of the Bright Moon Rabbit later.

Katarina was born in Vilkutta, a remote town in the Oretin Empire.

It was a cold region located in the northern part of the Oretin Empire, where the people were known for their tenacity and tenacity.

Her family has a long military background, and her parents are both Imperial military officers stationed in the Nether Realm, the name given to the inhabitants of the mobile cities for the continents that have settled under the cover of natural disasters, and those who live in the Nether are generally disparaged as the "Grey People", while those who live in the mobile cities call themselves "Celestials".

From an early age, Katarina was filled with pride in the history and culture of the Oretin Empire, and at the same time had a high respect for the family's military traditions, and the family's deep military roots planted the seeds of honor and responsibility in her heart.

She lived in a period of relative peace between the Grey and the Celestials, and she lived in the gap between the times that could still accommodate freedom of speech and dreams, so she dreamed of joining the Empire's army and becoming another hero in her family who served her country.

At that time, the plan of life was already decided.

As an adult, she will travel alone to the floating mobile city-state military academy for five years of rigorous training, and after graduation, she will join the army of the empire and continue her family's glorious tradition.

However, fate seems to have predetermined another path for her.

When she was 18 years old, an unexpected turn of events changed the course of her life forever.

Katarina and her parents are spending their peaceful days in the Barbara Strategic Zone when they are suddenly drawn into a riot that has never been seen before.

The conflict between the Empire's soldiers and the [out-of-control] has reached an irreconcilable point, and the two sides are at war in the Barbara strategic zone.

The two sides engaged in a fierce contest on this land.

The [out-of-control] rebelled against the arrogant rule of the Celestials of the Empire without hesitation, and their actions were extreme and decisive in an attempt to shake the foundations of the Empire and the arrogant Celestial regime.

And the soldiers of the Reich, in order to maintain order and authority, resorted to ruthless means and carried out a bloody suppression of the insurrection.

Smoke rises from the streets, and screams and gunfire mingle to create a tragic picture of war.

Katarina and her family, like many innocent residents, were trapped by this sudden conflict and witnessed the conflict and struggle of humanity in extreme circumstances.

Unfortunately, he was affected by the pollution of the Aetheric Ocean and became a [Runaway].

After the great riots in the strategic area of Barbara, the trajectory of Katarina's life changed radically.

Her longing and belief in joining the Imperial Army became wavering after witnessing the brutality of war and the dark side of human nature.

As she wanders in the fog of her heart, she meets [Moving City Utopia], who has gone to stop the riot.

At that time, she was already a being that everyone shouted at - the soldiers of the empire hated her physical characteristics, and [the runaways] hated her identity background.

Therefore, when she was found by [Utopia], she did not hesitate to sign the "Utopia Executive Treaty", officially becoming a servant of Utopia and becoming a "mercenary" of the kingdom of heaven.

Later, not long after the outbreak of [Seventy-Two Hours of Crisis], she saw a job for the Crisis Management Bureau...... And, the fourth sword-wielder in the kingdom of heaven who was widely reported by the media, she once again made a decision in her heart at that time.

Thus, a new chapter in her life was once again opened.
