Brutal, too brutal...
Does the Scorpio wizard poison people in front of them now? Don't they avoid people? Shouldn't they poison the dinner secretly?
Deputy Speaker Jem's body twitched twice at the right time, which enhanced the shock of the scene.
His fingers scratched on the table, and his nails were so strong that ten blood marks were left.
Just when the congressmen were at a loss, a ten-meter-long, bucket-thick starlight water snake suddenly appeared and hung from the ceiling.
In order to teach the congressmen a lesson, this starlight water snake was not translucent in color, but a terrifying giant snake with cyan rings.
The giant snake's tail was wrapped around the roof structure, and the giant snake's head rushed straight to the body of Deputy Speaker Jem and swallowed the body of the deputy speaker in one bite.
Destroying the body, leaving no trace, and avoiding being tracked by the Word Spirit, this is the action strategy that Rudolph formulated for himself, just so cowardly.
Deputy Speaker Jem's body disappeared, but there was no bulge on the giant snake's body. The congressmen didn't know where the deputy speaker's body went.
Not only that, the giant snake swallowed the table in the second bite, and the chair in the third bite, to avoid leaving any items related to Jem at the scene.
There were paper documents soaked in poison foam on the table, which could not be left in the trial office.
At this time, some members saw that there was a blue black hole in the mouth of the water snake, and everything swallowed into the belly of the water snake went into the black hole. It was the magic of annihilating the priest.
"Activate the alchemical shielding array, you idiots!" Viscount Savan cursed at the attendees.
This really can't blame the witch hunters for being slow. The shielding array in the council hall is a level 5 alchemical array. It takes time to activate. Without a high-level alchemist to preside over it, the speed cannot be fast. When the people in the trial office activated the alchemical shielding array, the starlight water snake had disappeared.
Some smart alchemists pointed to the equipment room: "The attack came from the ceiling, and only the equipment room can reach the ceiling!"
The director of the trial office, Arden, was very scared, but he still bravely gave orders to his men: "Go! Go to the equipment room!"
The braver witch hunters rushed to the equipment room.
Chief Arden watched with satisfaction as the witch hunters rushed up, while he stayed on the ground, waiting for good news.
The Council Chamber was in complete chaos, and Chief of Police Kaiden turned to look at his secretary, Kelita.
Kelita had been wondering how she was qualified to attend today's meeting, which was so important. Now that she had witnessed the Deputy Speaker being poisoned, she finally understood why Chief Kaiden had always looked at her differently.
Kaiden was also a smart man, and had been preparing a way out for himself. Kelita was Claude's capable subordinate, and was brought from Leman Town to the City Police Department, so Kelita could be a middleman and help Chief Kaiden contact them.
They were too cruel. In the White Rose Revenge a year and a half ago, Kaiden was frightened by the ability of the furnace. He knew at that time that he had to prepare a compromise and never offend Claude's friend.
Scorpio wizards are famous for holding grudges. Young people should not bully Scorpios, and old people should not mess with zombies. The folk proverbs handed down from ancient times are the truths summed up by many people.
"Kelita, if possible, please tell me something."
Seeing Chief Caden's cautious look, Kelita just found it funny: "You say."
"Mr. Furnace, if you need anything, we can discuss it. I'm easy to talk to. I was also promoted by Claude. When Mr. Furnace left, I was still the deputy chief of the police station. The position of chief was given to me by Abel, and it's not a must."
If several deputy chiefs knew about this, they would definitely find a way to confirm what "it's not a must" meant.
"Okay, Director, if I see Rudolf, I will tell him what you mean." Kelita suddenly realized, "No, Director, it may not be Rudolf who committed the crime. There is no evidence yet. It may be another Scorpio wizard."
Kayden shook his head gently, "Mr. Furnace did not show up just because he did not want to leave any loopholes. He was waiting for the reaction of the County Council or even the Provincial Council. In short, I must show Mr. Furnace that I am also one of his own. I also followed Mr. Furnace to the Dordo District to carry out a mission. I don't know if that gentleman can remember this little thing."
Director Kayden secretly glanced at the other desperate councilors with pride. His IQ crushed these councilors who were full of fat intestines and only knew how to plunder money. He had expected this day to come early and was prepared.
"Humph, idiots..."
At the attendees, Viscount Savan tilted his head, listened to the report of the attendant next to him, and nodded continuously.
Unlike the panic of those councilors, the nobles were much quieter here. They knew that they were not the first target. Without power, they would not be involved in cause and effect.
After listening to the report, Viscount Savan turned to his vassals and said, "The intelligence is confirmed. This is the ability of the South Sky Water Snake Wizard, the Starlight Water Snake. Poisonous, devouring, and stealthy, these are the basic abilities of the Starlight Water Snake."
All the nobles looked at Jennifer, but Jennifer shook her head again and again, "I don't know anything."
Viscount Savan said, "Wait until the battle between the Furnace and the Alchemist is over. Either the Alchemist will finally admit defeat and compromise, or the Furnace will leave again. This is our chance."
A knight couldn't help but ask, "My Lord Viscount, won't the Alchemy Council kill the Furnace?"
"The Furnace is much more famous in Saragu Sea than here. Another identity of the Furnace is the Undead Phoenix Wizard. In the limited history, there is no record of the Phoenix Wizard being killed. What can the Alchemy Council use to kill it? At most, they can trap the Furnace.
As long as the benefits brought by Fabro City are higher than the cost of governance, I think the Alchemy Council will compromise. They are good at compromise."
Viscount Savan looked at Jennifer: "Baron Jennifer, if you have any news, you must contact me. We are friends with the Furnace, not enemies."
Jennifer nodded. She also wanted to contact Rudolph, but from Rudolph's behavior of destroying evidence, Rudolph is now very cautious and tries to avoid exposing himself.
When the brave witch hunter climbed to the third floor of the equipment room, he found that the equipment room was empty. Judging from the position of the light, the murderer must be here.
The witch hunter stood in the equipment room and happened to see the empty podium through the small observation window.
"Find! We must find clues!"
Hearing the roar of Director Yaden on the ground, the witch hunter hurriedly searched in the equipment room.
The easiest way to track down the murderer is to find a word spirit, give the clues to the word spirit, and use the evidence to divination to find the direction of the murderer.
The witch hunter found that the murderer was very familiar with the ability of the word spirit, and there was not even a footprint in the entire equipment room.
The light bulb that illuminated the subtitles was taken away, the coffee was taken away, and the ladder that Rudolph brought was also taken away to ensure that no clues were left here.
At the side door of the parliament building complex, a maintenance worker holding a ladder horizontally was walking out the door.
He looked up into the distance and saw a huge airship coming, the flagship of the 56th Regiment of the Constitutional Army, the Silver Flame.
Rudolf lowered his hat and left silently.
Revenge on Abel and the Alchemy Council of Fabro City is only the first step. Rudolf's more important goal is to continue Claude's unfinished business and let the citizens of Fabro City live a little better and not so miserable.
Claude didn't ask for much at the time. Before he died, he wanted to give the people of the Dordo District a way to live as the vice president. He didn't give them a way to live, and he lost his own life.
Before achieving this goal, Rudolf must withstand the next blow from the Alchemy Council, so he was cautious and didn't leave any clues to avoid being targeted by the council's words.
Rudolf didn't go far, but turned and walked towards the trial office next to the council. The parliament was so lively, and there was an opportunity in the Trial Office. He needed to deal with some tails in the Trial Office.
The Silver Flame landed in the square between the parliament buildings, and Colonel Gayton walked down with a sullen face.
He looked at the witch hunters who hurriedly ran towards him, and he was uncontrollably irritated. These witch hunters are useless. Of course, Gayton is not saying that they are useless now, but that these witch hunters should have used all their strength to destroy the furnace when the furnace just turned black.
When the furnace comes back from the southern continent, who in the small city of Fabro can be the opponent of the furnace?
Abel's death was embarrassing enough, but unexpectedly, only half a day later, Deputy Speaker Jem also died.
"Yarden, what do you mean by your panic? You are the one who is going to replace the acting speaker!"
Hearing the first sentence Colonel Gayton said, the director of the Trial Office, Arden, had his eyes wide open like copper bells.
"Colonel! The murderer just wrote a line on the wall of the council hall: The city of Fabro is not allowed to have a speaker!" Arden's tone was full of fear: "I'm afraid the murderer thinks that the acting speaker is also the speaker."
Colonel Guyton was very angry. Looking at the fear in Director Arden's eyes, he didn't say much and walked towards the council hall in silence.
Outside the council hall, the parliamentarians stood outside the door, waiting for the results of the investigation by the Trial Bureau, and did not leave. The noble knights did not leave either, also waiting for the results.
The emergency meeting originally used to deal with the disappearance of the speaker turned into a meeting where the deputy speaker was poisoned. One problem was not solved, and another more serious problem arose.
The parliamentarians and nobles watched Colonel Guyton walk into the council hall with a cold face, and the door was heavily closed.
After entering the council hall, Colonel Guyton saw a well-preserved scene. The scene was bare, and there was nothing at Jem's seat, spotless.
Gayton asked: "The murderer left no clues?"
"No, not even a footprint."
"The murderer wrote on the wall with a lamp, saying that Fabro City does not allow a speaker?"
"Yes, Colonel."
"Too rampant!"
The empty council hall fell into silence. Yaden didn't know what to say, and Gayton kept thinking.
After a long silence, Colonel Gayton's voice suddenly scared Yaden.
"Yaden, do you really refuse to become the temporary speaker of the Alchemy Council of Fabro City?"
"It's not that I don't want to, but I really don't have the ability."
"I can guarantee that in the future you will definitely take off the prefix of 'temporary' and become the real speaker."
Yaden knew that he couldn't be soft-hearted at this time, and he didn't care about his face: "Sorry, Colonel Gayton, I really don't dare."
Logically speaking, Colonel Gayton of the military did not have the power to make Yaden the speaker, but Colonel Gayton had great power and could convince many people to agree with his opinion. What
Yaden was afraid of was not that Colonel Gayton would not keep his promise, but that he might not live for more than 6 hours after becoming the temporary speaker.
The murderer just said that there is no room for a speaker. If he becomes the acting speaker, isn't that going against the law? What if the murderer is very concerned about his reputation? What if the murderer insists on fulfilling what he said?
"Call Police Chief Caden in."
Caden entered the council chamber, and a few minutes later, he came out again.
The people around him asked him what the colonel said to him after he went in, and Caden just shook his head and didn't answer. Are
you kidding? Colonel Guyton actually wanted him to be the temporary speaker. He didn't think of him when he was doing good things, but he thought of him when
he was taking the blame. It's absolutely impossible. Several more congressmen went in, but they came out quickly. Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt that they were very smart. It's right to refuse, and you have to be thick-skinned at this time.
In the council chamber, Arden saw that several congressmen were unwilling to take responsibility, and he set his eyes on Colonel Guyton's face.
"Colonel, how about you temporarily serve as the acting speaker of the Alchemy Council of Fabro City?"
"I am a military man. My duty is to obey all orders from the council. How could I interfere in the affairs of the council? Wouldn't that be a military riot?"
Aiden couldn't help but nod his head. Colonel Gayton's excuse was too strong to refute. Just now, a councillor said that he couldn't sit for long periods of time due to a bad waist and couldn't handle so many documents. His excuse was so perfunctory.
The Senate of the Royal Capital strictly forbids the military to interfere in the parliament. The first principle of the Constitutional Army is to absolutely obey the decision of the parliament. It is indeed impossible for Colonel Gayton to serve as the speaker.
The council hall fell silent again.
After a few minutes, Colonel Gayton suddenly said:
"Although there is no solid evidence, we can already treat it as if the murderer is the furnace.
The most important thing next is to ask for help from the county council. Level 5 wizards have exceeded the processing limit of Fabro City, and the county council needs to provide support.
Immediately send the witch hunters to Vichy, the county city, to send a letter and report everything that happened here to the county council."
"Okay! I'll arrange for the witch hunters to go to Vichy, the county city."
Colonel Gayton continued to add:
"I remember that when we were hunting down Furnace last year, the Trial Office kept items related to Furnace that could be used as clues for divination.
Send those clues to the county town and let higher-level Word Spirits join the search. Judging from Furnace's behavior today, Furnace is meticulous and we can't find him without Word Spirits."
Aiden quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll go right away. But..."
Aiden added, "Colonel Gayton, last year the County Trial Office sent out a witch hunting team composed of several level 4 witch hunters, and the Word Spirits pointed them in the direction of Furnace. But that team was wiped out, and Furnace is very strong." Colonel
Gayton nodded, "Not only the witch hunters, the Provincial Council attaches great importance to Furnace, and the Scourge Druid Toned has also joined the witch hunt. Toned went to Saragu Sea, but unfortunately, there has been no news. I'm afraid Toned is in danger."
Aiden's head was about to split when he heard this. Even the Scourge Druid died at the hands of Furnace?
At this moment, a witch hunter suddenly broke open the door and rushed into the council hall.
Judging from the witch hunter's anxious look, something worse must have happened.
"Director! Director Aden! Someone attacked the trial office and burned the top-secret archive room!"
Looking at the cold sweat on Aden's head, Gayton asked: "What's in the top-secret archive room?"
Aden swallowed hard: "Yes... there are a lot of top-secret items. What is related to today is that there are items related to the furnace, witchcraft tools made by the furnace, items used by the furnace, coins spent by the furnace... In short, they are all evidence that can predict the furnace..." Gayton
couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows. He was too difficult to deal with. Not only was he powerful, but he was also timid and cautious. He was indeed a Scorpio wizard.
