"That guy has come to Eclipse Harbor as expected!"
After Carl sent off the delegation from Eclipse Port, the people from the Security Bureau rushed back to the port from the clouds.
The solid nitrogen that Carl used to attack the pirates caused strong air currents, and combined with the strong winds caused by his spaceship flying away, a weak storm blew up on the route back to Eclipse Port.
Although the people from the Sheriff's Bureau did not suffer any injuries, most of them were frightened. For safety reasons, they waited until the storm subsided before returning.
Looking at the stalled airship in the sky and the wreckage of the airship floating in the air, many people's minds buzzed.
It was obvious that a battle had taken place, and judging from the fact that the exterior of Carl's spaceship was almost unscathed, it was no surprise that Eclipse Port lost.
The closer they got to the port, the more the abnormal noise in the city annoyed everyone.
Many people even thought that Eclipse Port had been captured by Carl... during the time they had not returned.
However, when they finally arrived at the port and prepared to disembark, something even more upsetting happened.
A guard consisting of six wind giants and six cloud giants was waiting for them at the port. As soon as the sheriffs got off the ship, two of them took the decree with the lord's seal and read it out:
"According to the testimony! The Lord believes that you intend to sow discord between Eclipse Port and Lord Carl! You are arrested from today! The length of your detention is unknown!"
After saying that, they didn't even give the sheriffs a chance to explain. They tied up everyone and drove them to prison like slaves.
The sheriff who was showing off his power on the streets a day ago became the culprit for provoking diplomatic relations the next day.
The huge gap made many sheriffs panic, but some of the smarter ones remembered one thing at this time...
"I request a chance to talk alone! And I hope to be questioned by Lord Wind Djinn!"
Before they even reached the destination, a sheriff who was usually cunning and corrupt suddenly spoke up.
The Wind Giant and the Cloud Giant who led the team looked at each other, then laughed disdainfully, "Just say whatever you want to say. You still want me to interrogate you alone? Where do you get such a big ego from!"
Their guards were also familiar with the character of these sheriffs, so Feng Juling, the team leader, didn't believe that the other party really had any news to tell him. Instead, he thought that the other party was trying to sneak out on him.
But at this moment, the middle-aged sheriff, who was known for his shrewdness and competence, said, "I also have something to report. I hope our deputy chief will interrogate me."
Hearing this, the twelve guards were also a little puzzled.
That guy is just making trouble, but what's wrong with you? The lord doesn't want to kill you, does he?
Why were they all showing off their skills as if they were trying to escape death? However, thinking that these people were indeed the subordinates of the skillful Cloud Giant, the guards discussed in a low voice and decided to take them to the Public Security Bureau first and let the director and deputy director of the Public Security Bureau make arrangements.
"No! I don't want to go back to the police station! We know his secret! He will kill us!"
The guards had just finished their discussion when a sheriff who was very close to them suddenly broke down and screamed.
Not only that, he also tried to break away from the team and escape from Eclipse Port.
"Catch him!"
At a command from the leader Feng Juling, an agile cloud giant slapped the sheriff unconscious.
The other guards immediately surrounded the remaining people, guarding against the possibility that others might try to escape.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the middle-aged man who was the security inspector sighed and said, "I want to see the director. We, we have important things to report. It's about the air pirates... and the high-ranking officials of Eclipse Port."
When the guards heard the first half of the security inspector's words, they were a little skeptical. After all, everyone knew how the other party got to his position.
These "heroes" who are of noble birth and work hard to train themselves look down upon those who only rely on flattery to get ahead.
Humans and other races can only play roles such as secretaries in the power structure of Eclipse Port. The only difference is that the people they serve have different statuses. At most, they can be considered staff or retainers, not real high-level officials.
The so-called high-level ones must be the wind giants and cloud giants.
After carefully observing the expressions of the sheriffs present, the guards realized that these people might really know something.
With a wink to the cloud giant in the team, illusions and enchantment spells were cast on the sheriffs one after another.
Before their consciousness became hazy, more than one person remembered one thing.
"Those damned shoulder straps can't protect against the Cloud Giant's own tactics!"
…
"Brother Carl! Those black dogs have been caught!"
On the spaceship some distance away from the port of Eclipse, Lisanna watched the scene of the sheriffs being arrested and felt that her mood became a little clearer.
"Isn't that a good thing? Next, we just have to wait for Eclipse Harbor to split itself. By the way, have you been practicing your skills recently? As a magic artillery master, you can't slack off in exploring the mechanical field!"
When this was mentioned, Carl thought of his apprentice Tina.
Although Carl accepted the other party as his apprentice because the other party provided him with the inspiration to escape from the invisible force field, he soon discovered that this air elemental's "talent" in the field of mechanics was actually quite good.
This talent does not refer to intelligence, but to ideas.
Just like Carl back then.
Just as I was thinking about it, a red figure suddenly rushed in from outside.
But she didn't know if it was accidental or for some other reason, but she fell as soon as she came in.
"Woooooa ...
With a cry of pain, Tina removed her helmet, revealing her somewhat embarrassed face.
"Master, the acceleration mode of this power armor is so difficult to control! Is there any way to change it?"
As she said this, she glanced at Lisanna, her face full of curiosity.
"See? If you don't work harder, my apprentice will surpass you in the field of mechanical engineering. Although you focus on hunters, in this day and age, it's not a bad thing to know more about mechanical knowledge."
After saying this to Lisanna in a somewhat nagging tone, Carl put down the telescope in his hand, stood up and walked to Tina's side.
With a click, the artificial life servant in the shape of a rhinoceros beetle fell into Carl's hands, and Tina's transformation was lifted.
Lisana walked over quickly and pinched Tina's face without any hesitation.
She is a few years older than Tina and considers herself her elder.
"Brother Karl! How come even your apprentice is a woman?"
Lisanna hugged Tina and helped her up. She looked at Carl with contempt and complained about him.
