Chapter 340 338: Case of the Robbery of a Girl (Subscription Request)
The magic carriage belonging to Douglas Hill finally left the west gate. The gatekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the city gate to be closed.
At this time, in the carriage, Luo Yi briefly described the specific situation.
Douglas's expression froze after hearing this, and he couldn't help but ask, "So, Gary Mills actually knew this day would come and arranged for you to protect Mrs. Linda?"
After a pause, he continued, "I'm not saying anything, but he's asking for trouble. Why bother with those servile people?"
Luo Yi slowly shook his head: "Everyone has secrets, everyone has a past, how can you just let go of them?!
Some things, no matter how dangerous they are, have to be done.
What I have to do now is to take Mrs. Linda back to the Flower Market and keep her safe."
"Gary has already left, are they really going to come look for Mrs. Linda?
Besides, this is the Habsburg Empire, and Madam Linda is no unknown figure. Do they really have the guts to do that? "
"I don't know! Actually, I'd like to believe they don't have that much guts, but I can't bet on it."
"So what are you going to do now?"
"Find Mrs. Linda, convince her, and take her away. It's that simple."
"good!"
After a few words, the matter was finalized. Luo Yi couldn't help but lift the car window curtain and look out through the glass.
As far as the eye can see, there are quite a few pedestrians on the street, walking in groups of three or five, laughing and joking as they head to some bar or dance hall.
In the distance, there was music playing. Luo Yi's keen hearing could distinguish the music. Some were melodious, some were cheerful, some were beautiful, and some were soothing...
Along with the sounds were footsteps, tapping, laughter, and noise.
"Auckland nowadays seems very different from when I left."
Douglas Hill also leaned forward and replied with a smile, "It's not just different, it's very different!"
"I didn't expect that with the increase in magic power factories, many people have become wealthy. Besides improving their family lives, their favorite thing is the nightlife."
"Those old bars aren't that popular anymore. Drinking alone isn't fun. But there are more and more dance halls."
"A dance hall, can they still afford to hire a band?"
“They can’t afford it, but now there’s a new magical machine called a phonograph.
As the name suggests, it can record sounds. It was created by some mechanical wizards in the southern magic world through analyzing "phonograph".
It can be driven by the Moonstone Magic Crystal, and by placing a record into the phonograph, the recorded music can be played."
"You don't know, this phonograph is incredibly popular. It's sold like hotcakes in the Habsburg Empire. It's not as good as a live band performance, but the cost is quite low when spread out!"
Douglas couldn't help but complain to Roy: "Speaking of which, why didn't you think of such a good idea?"
Luo Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Douglas, just be a decent person. If we really take all the benefits, believe it or not, the Roy Fitz Magic Energy Group will fall apart in an instant.
Even at this scale, I think it’s a bit excessive!”
“Everyone else thought that it was only with our support that Miller was able to implement the railway construction plan so smoothly in the empire.
But from another perspective, if it weren't for Miller, a senior official of the Empire, the Roy Fitz Group would not have been able to develop so smoothly."
As he said this, Roy glanced at Douglas and asked, "Also, do you really think you're not busy enough? Have you completed the improvement of the magic walkie-talkie?"
Douglas smiled awkwardly and immediately took over the topic, saying, "Speaking of the magic walkie-talkie, Luo Yi, the problem I'm facing now is..."
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Luo Yi interrupted quickly: "Let's put the matter of the magic machinery aside for now. After I meet Mrs. Linda, I'll have plenty of time to go to your magic laboratory.
We'll talk about it in detail when the time comes!"
Douglas said reluctantly: "Then I'll wait for you in the lab. If you don't come, I will break up with you."
"Hahaha, it's not that serious. I will definitely help you solve the problem."
This time it was Luo Yi's turn to change the subject. He pointed out the window at a patrol team that had just finished patrolling and asked, "Are all the police officers in Oakland so diligent these days?"
“On this journey, I’ve already seen five waves of police patrols, and there must be people on the high buildings observing the surroundings.
This law and order is pretty good!"
Douglas's expression froze, but he slowly stopped smiling. He said, "The police department isn't as diligent as you think. It's just that there have been frequent incidents of kidnapping girls in the city recently, so they have to be impatient."
"About the kidnapping of the young girl?"
Luo Yi turned back in confusion and asked, "What's going on?"
"About half a month ago, young girls began disappearing in the city. Most were unmarried girls aged fifteen or sixteen. Some came from working-class families, some were daughters of merchants, some were factory workers, and some were college students...
In a short period of time, hundreds of people were found dead, with no one found alive or dead, which caused great panic.
The families of those girls also complained to the governor, putting the National Police Agency under tremendous pressure, and only then did they make all these arrangements."
Luo Yi frowned slightly, his expression very unhappy: "Looking at the situation, the person has not been caught yet! But, after the City Guard was reorganized into the Police Department, are they really so useless?"
Douglas shook his head: "That's not true. After the establishment of the Police Department, the public security in Auckland has improved a lot.
Although gangs and vendettas have not been completely resolved, they are no longer as reckless as before.
As for this incident, I'm afraid there must be a truly powerful person involved, at least a third-order extraordinary level. I just don't know what he wants to do by kidnapping so many girls?"
Oliveira suddenly spoke, his voice as cold as iron: "It's definitely not a good thing!"
Douglas nodded slowly: "Bloody sacrifices, dark sacrifices, evil god rituals, or drinking blood to resurrect, etc., are nothing more than these shady things.
However, no matter which one it is, these girls are likely to be in great danger."
Luo Yi slowly shook his head: "The Executive Office's response was a bit slow."
Douglas said a fair word: "Not all people are Baron Miller, who has his prestige and means.
Now this consul, a relative of Baron Miller, is said to be coordinating with the church, the academy and the military to prepare for a thorough investigation.
But these parties are all bigwigs, so it's not easy to reach a cooperation, so it will take some time."
Luo Yi just listened to these things. He just hoped that these had nothing to do with what he was going to do.
It’s a pity that although his idea was good, reality is always full of drama.
…
at this time,
Inside the Philante School of Magic.
It was already midnight and the academy had become quiet.
In other words, the dormitory building and the large library were still brightly lit and quite lively, but other places were deserted.
However, there are many more wild mandarin ducks in the grove of the college, rustling around and making a lot of noise, which is very tempting.
A figure was shrouded in darkness, without any breath leaking out, like a dead object like trees and soil.
However, a pair of scarlet eyes blinked as they looked at the two people who were flirting not far away, filled with murderous intent.
But in the end he did not disturb the pair of wild mandarin ducks. Instead, when the wind blew through the woods, making a rustling sound, the shadow twisted and disappeared on the spot.
The night enveloped the earth, and naturally, it became easier to hide. Before he knew it, he arrived at the foot of the Ancient Spirit Mage Tower.
He did not choose to go through the main gate, but found a shady place. His body flashed, and the hidden magic power burst out, and he turned into a bat and flew away with its wings flapping.
He was extremely fast and stealthy, and in the dark, he was inconspicuous.
Circling around the Mage Tower, he finally found the sixth floor, where there was a window with a small crack open.
Through the gap, he also saw a plump and slender figure sitting there in a daze.
This made him feel extremely lucky, but he did not pounce directly on it. Instead, he flew around the Mage Tower again and again.
At a level imperceptible to ordinary people, waves of magical power that are so obscure that they are almost undetectable spread outward.
Circle after circle, wave after wave, he tried repeatedly, and the detection and monitoring magic circle of the Mage Tower was being analyzed and familiarized by him bit by bit.
Finally, it was the magic power that was fine-tuned, vibrated, and changed, until it was accepted by the detection magic circle, and then he tentatively flew closer.
There were subtle fluctuations of magical power that swept across him, but in the end it did not cause any major waves.
Then, the bat suddenly accelerated, rushed into the range of the wizard tower, broke in through the open window, and appeared in front of Mrs. Linda.
Mrs. Linda was a little dazed, but she was a peak-level second-level magician after all, so she still had some strength.
Almost instinctively, she raised her hand and clenched it, and a magic wand appeared, with streams of magic power bursting out like wildfire.
This method is not so much a spell casting as it is an attempt to cause elemental resonance in the Mage Tower, thereby alerting others.
It’s a pity that no matter how fast she is, she can’t compare to that vampire man.
The blood-red magic power spread out, forming a circle that directly enveloped all fluctuations.
Then came the blood-red ropes that climbed up along Madam Linda's legs and feet. Wherever they passed, Madam Linda felt her magic power blocked, her body stiffened, and she couldn't even move.
In fact, because of the excessive movement, she lost her balance and was about to fall down.
The vampire man flashed and came close, holding Mrs. Linda in his arms.
Feeling the warmth and softness that only a mature woman could possess, his expression was somewhat smug: "This Mage Tower sounds like a den of dragons and tigers, but it's actually just like that. I can't just come and go as I please."
Then he lowered his head slightly and looked at Mrs. Linda, the charming smile on his lips became bigger and bigger: "You are Gary Mills' wife, right?
It's as ripe as a peach, haha, although you're not a virgin, but when the effect is gone, I can give you a first hug."
Mrs. Linda was so ashamed and angry that she couldn't say a word.
At this time, Roy and Oliveira, led by Douglas Hill, arrived at the door of Mrs. Linda's laboratory on the sixth floor of the Mage Tower without any obstruction.
