The Ten-Day Funeral of the White Rose, the eighth night.
In the narrow cabin of the Silver Flame, Abel's eyes were red, and he had not been getting enough sleep for many days. Most of the space in the airship was prepared for weapons, and even the captain's room was not very spacious, which made Abel's mental and physical state very bad. He stared at the director of the Trial Bureau, Arden, in front of him:
"How long will it take for the Word Spirit of the Orb Province Trial Hall to arrive?"
Arden's face was just as bad. The Fabro City Trial Bureau was forced into a corner by a wizard, and its prestige was completely gone. It was very ugly.
But what could he do? Even the director of the County Trial Bureau was killed by that wizard, and he himself was terrified every day. The so-called pursuit of Rudolph the Crucible was nothing more than a tacit rush to the crime scene after another.
"Three days... The Word Spirit Witch Hunters from the Judgment Hall will arrive in three days at the earliest. You know, Word Spirit Witch Hunters are so rare that many missions require their participation. Normally, they only test witches and divine the evidence, and will not go out to hunt witches. The alchemists in Fabro City died tragically one after another, which is why such a witch tester came here in person."
Abel knew that what Yaden said was right. High-level Word Spirits are very important witch testers. Every time a Word Spirit goes out, he needs to be carefully guarded. He asked, "Do you know what the next target of the Crucible is?"
Rudolph is completely worthy of the title of "Crucible". This Scorpio wizard is an existence that can make many alchemists' scalps tighten.
"I don't know." Yaden's answer was very straightforward.
"Can anyone else related to the Crucible be caught?"
Hearing this request, Yaden knew that the Speaker was ready to do whatever it takes. He replied, "The children in the orphanage are still in the orphanage. They can be caught to threaten the wizard Rudolph."
Speaker Abel remained silent.
Arden waited for a while. In his opinion, the speaker had already acquiesced to this, but it was inconvenient to say it directly. When he turned around and prepared to execute it, Abel shouted softly: "Wait... Forget it, this is too despicable..."
Arden didn't care. In order to catch wizards, doing some dirty work was nothing. Kidnapping, assassination, torture, witch hunters have done everything, but these hypocrisy... No, these kind-hearted parliamentarians are not used to issuing such orders directly.
"More importantly, the mentality of the furnace has changed now. He may not stand up for those children, but it is easy to cause a scandal."
Hearing the speaker say this, Arden nodded. The scandal still has a great impact on the speaker. All propaganda agencies are under the control of the parliament, and public opinion is also one of the weapons of the alchemist.
Abel didn't care about using the Ruhr mining area to attack Abel, because this was the most important thing in Vichy County, but if he was charged with child abuse, it would be inevitable that political opponents would use this to make a fuss. The Ruhr mining area is very important, but judging from the ability shown by Abel, he does not seem to be that important. Someone else can manage the Ruhr mining area.
"After all, we are not as cruel as those heretics and cannot do such extreme things..." Abel sighed, moved by his conscience.
Yaden had his own considerations:
"Speaker, doing this will easily escalate the situation and may force the furnace to launch more extreme retaliation. We can perfectly protect the city hall, but we cannot protect the families of every councillor. Even your family and mine may be threatened.
Once the retaliation expands, he will be the one with the advantage. We have too many people to protect. There is no way to guarantee that every place can defend against the attack of a level 4 wizard, a level 4 vampire, a level 4 word spirit and a level 4 silver snake."
Yaden's voice became lower and lower, and he became more and more afraid. Without the help of the County Court, the City Court is simply unable to fight against such a powerful heretic criminal gang.
Think about it carefully, this criminal gang is so strong. Aden looked at Abel. If he kept Claude, he would have some chance to talk with the wizard and would not be so passive.
"Besides the orphans in the orphanage, are there other people we can use?"
"Yes." Arden was prepared for this matter: "Baron Jennifer of Gassai Town is very close to Rudolph the Crucible."
Hearing the word baron, Abel shook his head: "Our southern neighbor, the Kingdom of Elba, is in a civil war. The warring parties are the restoration army of the royal nobles and the constitutional army of their parliament. Don't provoke the nobles at this time, or something big may happen."
"In addition to these people, Rudolph the Crucible's previous interpersonal relationships were mainly in the police station. The police officers from Leman Town, Kelita and others in the police station can also be taken as hostages."
Abel hesitated for a long time, but still shook his head: "Forget it, the police officers are Claude's people..."
Arden continued: "Then are Claude's lovers also ruled out? They are closer to Claude. If they are arrested, I think I can force Rudolph the Crucible to show up."
Abel knew of Yesica's existence. She was Claude's most important lover, and now she is handling Claude's funeral as Claude's widow.
"Forget about those women..." Thinking of Claude, Abel's eyes drooped. After all, he couldn't cross the last hurdle. His wife would not allow it.
At this moment, Arden was suddenly startled by the violent sound of the door opening.
A witch hunter rushed into the office. The situation was urgent and he didn't even care about basic etiquette. But Arden didn't mean to blame him at all. He just hoped that the news he heard from him would not be so shocking.
"Speaker! Director! Rudolf the Furnace appeared next to the Silver Flame of the Constitutional Army!"
Abel stood up instantly, somewhat unbelievable. That wizard actually dared to take the Silver Flame?
"Go find Colonel Gayton!"
Although Gayton was in charge, the Silver Flame was too important to allow any mistakes.
They spent so much effort and such a huge price just to make enough miners appear in the Dordo District.
Recently, countless wealth has poured into Fabro City, which has increased the number of people who come to Fabro City to take opportunities, and there are also many more ordinary people in the Dordo District. If the remaining 80% of the people in the Dordo District can be turned into blood servant miners, the labor shortage problem in the Ruhr mining area can be solved at once.
Therefore, the blood samples of ordinary people in the Dordo District must not have any problems. If there is a problem, he, the speaker, will definitely be held accountable by the county council.
When walking up in the multi-layer cabin, Abel's heart was beating wildly because he could vaguely hear the explosions around him. But he didn't dare to go to the cabin where the blood samples were stored, fearing that the location of the samples would be exposed.
Abel hurried to the deck and found that Colonel Gayton was directing people to put out the fire.
Only Gayton and he knew the location of the blood sample. He hurriedly asked Gayton: "Colonel! Is the blood sample okay? Has it been contaminated by the wizard?"
Just a little bit of toxin will make the blood sample lose its effect.
Gayton was a little irritable at this time. Three officers died, including his adjutant, but Abel was asking about his blood sample.
"The blood sample is fine, and the wizard failed to enter the seal room." Gayton said: "But I found something very bad."
It's good that the blood sample is fine. Abel doesn't think there is anything worse than the damage of the blood sample.
"The silver snake that Quinn kept charmed two logistics officers. When the two were replenishing supplies for the Silver Flame, they suddenly attacked the airship."
Quinn's silver snake Abigail is the ace of the County Court and Quinn's most capable subordinate. Abigail alone can easily destroy most of the heretic dens.
"Fortunately, the chief priest of the abstinence of Fabro City was on duty on the airship. The chief priest discovered the trace of the charm and hurried to remove the charm, so that the two officers only caused some damage and could not continue to go deeper into the cabin.
The resistance of the two officers also caused me to lose 3 officers and more than ten soldiers."
Each apostle cannot do whatever they want, and there is always another apostle with the ability to counteract it. The abstinence priest is the nemesis of the silver snake. The abstinence priest can strip people of their five senses and can also make people break away from the charm of the silver snake.
Fortunately, the defense of the Silver Snake Flame is extremely strict, otherwise the heretics would have attacked the interior tonight.
"Where is Rudolph the Furnace? Didn't he appear in the surroundings?"
When the Constitutional Army searched the surroundings, they only found a white rose in the logistics warehouse on the ground.
As for the water and food in the logistics warehouse, they had all been rotten and could no longer be used.
Colonel Gayton had to make a decision: "For three days, the Constitutional Army will not be dispatched, and they will save food and use the inventory on the airship to survive these three days."
As for what Rudolph the Furnace will continue to do after the Constitutional Army stops dispatching, Gayton can no longer control it.
