Both the members of the garrison and the magicians who assisted them in their work had expressions of annoyance on their faces when they saw Curt walking forward with Hermia.

When he wasn't looking, the name Curt Leernst, along with some of his information, seemed to be in the possession of many of the security officers, and even the ordinary members of the team had heard of his deeds. In particular, in recent times, Curt's active role in assisting in the investigation of the True Eye has attracted the attention of many of the upper echelons of the garrison, and his previous attempts to get rid of Grostide to cover up his existence have been in vain.

Although he had more or less guessed that he might be treated like this before, the curious gazes of the people around him made Curt feel a little uncomfortable. After all, his previous public identity was just a ubiquitous iron-level mercenary, but now he has received a direct commission from François, and this alone is enough to make those who didn't care about his existence look at him differently.

As a direct result, his actions have been noticed by too many people, and it is almost impossible to continue the investigation even if he wants to continue the investigation secretly. Fame may be a good thing for some people, but Curt doesn't want it to be like this, which is definitely not a good thing for covert operations.

The mere appearance of Curt's face made some of them aware of the intention—it seemed to them that Curt was already an agent of Dean François. Especially when he presented the power of attorney signed by Cruise François 5≈ to the members of the garrison as proof that he had been allowed to investigate the incident, the head of the security officer immediately showed a little helplessness on his face.

And when he spoke, the guards showed a "sure enough" expression. It was as if even if he didn't say it, they knew what he wanted to ask. Although that's not the question that Curt wants to ask them now. But it was also misunderstood by these people around me.

"I know, I know, all you're trying to ask is 'what's going on in Central Square?' - actually. You should ask your employer about the 'talent'. After all, you were among the sorcerers who came to inform us of the evacuation in the first place. ”

A security officer scratched his head and muttered, apparently bothered by Curt's presence. The surrounding mages who were not under François's jurisdiction also looked like they were watching the show, as if they were gloating, "If you have the ability, let you send more people above you to solve the problem".

Unlike all mercenaries, who are under the jurisdiction of the Mercenary Administration and are indirectly subordinate to the town hall, the mages in Catrice are not entirely under the command of Cruise François alone. In addition to the Academy's staffing agencies, there are many different schools of wizard groups in the city, and a few of them have declared themselves to be independent of the Academy.

Although they did not directly declare themselves against François on an official standpoint, they have deliberately caused trouble on the side of the Academy on many occasions. Of course, these groups don't have the power of the Academy. But with almost all of them working for the town hall, it was difficult for François to deal with them directly - in fact, the tension in the city over spells was in their favor.

Cruise François held an important position in the spell management of Catrice, and it was only his job to guard against spell conditions in the city. Of course, the dean has a lot of opportunities, and of course it is impossible to do everything, so the usual defense of the city is also handed over to his mages.

From the vast Rubik's Cube that covered the whole city a few days ago, to the pitch-black cocoon where the central square must be emptied and isolated, these things are undoubtedly extremely dangerous to exist. Even if they did everything they could to alleviate the danger after the incident erupted, the damage had already been done.

Overall, it was clear that the incident was a dereliction of duty on the part of François' men, which seemed to make the sorcerers happy. Even with their abilities, they may not be able to investigate Sain Democra's spells, but this is not something they need to manage.

If you are high, you will be responsible. It was a simple dogma used to regulate the behavior of the nobility during the imperial era, and it is now a word widely used to describe the behavior of bureaucracy. A person in a high position will always provoke resentment from some, especially when he is derelict in his duties. Rumors will shoot at him like dark arrows.

"No, no, I still know about that. ”

Curt hates intrigue and hates being involved. But sometimes they can only swallow their attitude: "Dean François should have sent an elite to deal with this matter before, all I want to know is the situation in the quarantine area now." ”

So he could only help Dean François play the round on the one hand. While shifting the topic to the question you want to ask. The wall of light that surrounded the danger zone had been erected by Abbot François's men, but no further movement had been seen since then.

Curt was concerned about the impact of changes in the spirit world on reality, and the disgusting sludge had penetrated deep into the land. Although from a distance, there are no strange changes around the central square, but this is probably just that the darkness has not had time to erode reality.

Cruise François already knew what was stolen by Sain Democra, and had devised a spell to target the sludge, so he should have started sooner. It should never be delayed until now, and isolation can only be relied on to stop the spread of danger.

To this end, Lizzie has rushed to the academy, hoping to get first-hand information directly from Dean François. According to the time reckoning, she must have seen the "Wind of the Twelve" and contacted Curt with a soul connection - but for some reason there was no contact yet.

Since the strongest sorcerers in the Dominion remain on the Tower of Silvershine, the Academy is arguably the safest place in the entire Catrice region. And with Liqi's fighting ability, Curt doesn't need to worry about her encountering danger, and her enemies are probably the ones who should be most worried.

"It's hard to say what the situation is, we are only responsible for the evacuation of civilians. The security officer standing on the vehicle looked in the direction of the central square with some concern, his attire was more formal than everyone else, probably the leader of all the security officers present, "If I remember correctly, when we left, the residents of the Central District had already been evacuated, and the rest were the people between the buffer belts,"

For the people in the garrison, the most troublesome thing is not the citizens who do not listen to the command, nor the journalists who are like flies, but some people who can "justify" their tasks and make trouble. For example, François's "talents", as well as certain mercenaries who are not under the control of the Authority.

But if that were to be said, the mages they were in a relationship with were also a source of trouble, and their realizations sometimes brought even more confusion.

The intrigue between groups of mages is heard of even among civilians, let alone the members of the garrison who manage order. Judging by the rank of this security officer, he has definitely been involved in conflicts between the two more than once in the past, and he knows very well what it will be like to let them continue to fight.

Uncontrolled forces are always dangerous, because they can become a threat to themselves at any time. But it may be even more dangerous to germinate the idea of bringing them all under control just because of fear of their existence.

This may have been Dean François's thoughts, but no one can say for sure what the powerful caster of spells known as "The Wind" was thinking. He did have the power to wipe out the rest of the spellbook group, but he had never done so, and he didn't seem to have considered doing so.

"Dean François has also worked hard, there have been so many things that have been bothering him lately, and I have heard that his health has not been good lately. ”

The small security officer helped the old man into the car, then turned his head and said, "Mr. Leinster, the organization you are investigating now is called the 'True Eye', they must be the masterminds of the recent riots, right? ”

It's not a confidential matter, and if the other party has been tricked like this for a long time and there is no counterattack, Curt will have to doubt the ability of those people above. However, their information is also limited to the true eye, and Sain Democlave is still unknown territory to them.

The speed of the flow of information was too slow, and in that time, the sorcerer had already laid too many traps in and around the city. If this situation continues, by the time the intelligence mongers of other forces know that there is such a person as Sain Democra, he will probably have completed all the preparatory activities.

It's a bit similar to martial arts, where you have to destroy the opponent's eyesight when you're outnumbered, and the locals have to have an advantage only when their observation methods are interfered with. Sain Democra's current operation is dealing with the detection of other forces in the city, and it is almost successful.

Perhaps because of the lack of intelligence, some forces in the city that were already opposed to each other were still thinking of using the turmoil during this time to attack the opponent's strength. Unbeknownst to them, they were all prey to Sain Democlus, ready to use spells to kill them all.

In order to delay the sorcerer's plan in the spirit world, Curt and Lizzie can only buy time by destroying a large area. But the time he had earned was being used by people who didn't know how dangerous the situation was, and it really made him feel his stomach twitch. (To be continued......)
