Avalon Kingdom, Glass Island, White Queen District Inspectorate.
The Supervision Bureau was still very busy this morning.
Dark-looking men and women wearing light armor or leather armor hurried past. The majestic silver-white dragon head like the silver-crowned dragon still hangs on the wall of Director Kent's office, watching them all the time.
Director Kent, who is now in his forties but still strong, sits on his leather chair.
His back was straight, and his round shoulders and big arms held up his loose clothes. His bronze skin and slender face give him the look of a fierce and tough guy. A deep scar spreads from above his left eye to his lip. He wears a black eyepatch and looks like a one-eyed pirate.
As a matter of ceremony and etiquette, even though Director Kent has not participated in front-line combat for more than ten years, he still has to wear armor when working, his sitting posture must be standard, and his demeanor must not waver in the slightest. His upper arms, abdomen, and lower legs, which are not high-burden areas, are all covered in metallic silver-white armor. Elsewhere there were shiny armor plates.
If he hadn’t been a transcendent of a high level, he would have been exhausted just sitting here all day long.
As early as 420 years ago, Lancelot I, the founding monarch of the Kingdom of Avalon, established three major legal agencies.
The Supervisory Bureau is responsible for "supervising and protecting the people", the Supervisory Council is responsible for "supervising knight officials", and the Arbitration Hall is responsible for "adjudicating right and wrong". At the beginning of their establishment, the status of these three legal agencies was equal to each other. Important responsibilities are held by Knights of the Round Table who can enter the Senate.
The national emblem of the Kingdom of Avalon is a green eye nested in a silver-white triangle that symbolizes power.
The eyes represent the royal family, symbolizing their current old Queen Sophia I who is still healthy at the age of nearly eighty.
The silver triangle that protects the royal family refers to the Supervisory Bureau, the Inspectorate and the Arbitration Hall.
However, with the development of the times, the Supervisory Bureau is responsible for more and more matters. Taxation, safety, health, fire protection, public security, review, and imprisonment. As a result, the Supervision Bureau gradually divided into many sub-departments. Branch offices must be established in various places and a large number of trainee supervisors, supervisors, and inspectors-general must be recruited to take charge of local affairs. , and power is thus divided.
The Inspectorate and the Arbitration Office have not expanded in size because they have to deal with more difficult and specific matters. The former has become an organization similar to a secret service, responsible for examining whether officials of all sizes are loyal, whether hereditary knight families are morally deficient, whether grassroots supervision has violated disciplines and regulations, as well as monitoring spies from other countries, or traveling alone abroad to collect intelligence. ; and the latter became today's court.
What they have in common is that they are now one level above the Supervisory Bureau.
So much so that in the Supervisory Bureau, all talents who can reach the fourth level will be promoted to the Supervisory Court and the Arbitration Hall. It is euphemistically called "You won't need this kind of talent anyway."". Even in the core area of White Queen District, adjacent to the glass steps, its director Kent is only the third level.
The young girl named Haina who was transferred recently is also He was only in his early twenties and already had the same strength as Director Kent, who had already reached the fifty mark.
Kent knew that the Inspectorate would definitely come to ask for someone without even thinking about it.
This is an era rich in geniuses. The new generation of geniuses, whether Haina or Sherlock, are much stronger than the old people who grew up in the peaceful era.
This. This is unlucky.
This may be a sign of trouble to come
He picked up the phone on the table and turned the roulette wheel, and the call was connected.
“Ask Haina to come to my office. "
Director Kent ordered, "Also, find someone to call our consultant. "
After hanging up the phone, he threw the glass staircase newspaper in his hand on the table. He stood up and walked to the bookshelf.
The headline of this newspaper was none other than Haina A photo with the young master of the Moriarty family.
The handsome young man with a gentle smile is sitting calmly in an elf-art style wheelchair, with a blanket covering his knees and his hands folded. He placed it in front of his abdomen, speaking in a gentle and natural manner, while Haina, standing behind him, stood upright, holding the sword hilt at her waist, her whole body muscles tense.
It seemed that he had noticed the photographer or was greeting some acquaintances around the photographer.
Halfway through his words, the young man’s eyes suddenly shifted from the reporter to the direction of the camera.
He showed a gentle smile as bright as the sun, and raised his hand slightly to wave to this side, but it gave the impression that he was smiling and waving to the readers who were reading the newspaper.
The next moment, the scene jumps back to the beginning. Aiwass continues to sit in the wheelchair and talks seriously to the reporter.
This is a "magic painting" from the path of "beauty". Ability.
Logically speaking, the path of beauty is prohibited by law in Avalon, except for the "Glass Daily" founded by Master Yanis. ” is the largest and only official newspaper in Avalon.
Glass Daily is responsible for sorting out the most important information about the Kingdom of Avalon every day and summarizing it to the royal family and the Round Table Hall. Look, ministers. The three major legal agencies will also post free glass steps for their employees to see.
Perhaps it is to follow the trend, perhaps to keep up with the policies of the top, or perhaps just to express their concern for the political situation of the kingdom. Some wealthy people who are neither involved in politics nor working in society will also join in the fun and buy Glass Stairs Newspaper. Then, some college students will also buy it as a conversation piece among young students.
Although every issue is different. There is a "magic painting" with a cumulative duration of fifteen seconds. The material cost of each newspaper is as high as one red coin, but its price is not high because of Master Yanis.There is no need to make a profit from it. The retail price quoted for the glass steps is only two red coins and five copper coins per issue. These five copper coins are still profit for the distributors, and sometimes they are discounted. Anyone with a bit of respectability can afford it.
This kind of newspaper that can read animation is a very novel experience. Although it has no sound and is in black and white. But at least the paintings are movable. This is basically the cheapest way for ordinary people to truly feel the extraordinary power.
As for this issue of the Glass Stairs newspaper, Aiwass Moriarty on the front page alone occupied a full twelve seconds. There are only three seconds left for a bicycle commercial.
Director Kent highly suspected that it was because Aiwass was too handsome and his smile was full of charm that Master Yannis gave him twelve seconds.
"It's not a good thing to smile so easily."
Director Kent, who had a beast-like intuition, curled his lips and muttered in a low voice, "I don't know whose family I am planning to harm." "Girl"
However, he saw it clearly.
If you can solve such a big case alone at this age, you will definitely become a big shot far higher than yourself in the future.
This time they got a big credit for no reason, and they must be given enough rewards. Originally, such a big job should be given to the Inspectorate, and it would not be their turn anyway.
Furthermore, this is also an opportunity to connect with Professor Moriarty.
So the rewards chosen must be good enough, otherwise they will be trash to the Moriarty family. If you give something that others don't like, it will bring disgrace to the Supervision Bureau.
It’s really troublesome.
"A student from a seminary dedicated to the priesthood?"
Director Kent murmured in a low voice, rummaging through the bookshelves.
Suddenly, his movements stopped. He looked towards a corner.
There was a book with a dark cover and no name on the spine.
The director picked it up with one hand and flicked the cover lightly with the other hand. Sparks burst out from the pages, like a hammer striking an anvil.
"This one might work."
He murmured in a low voice and read the title of the book, "Looking at the name of the Pastor's Tantra, it should be related to the pastor."
This entire bookshelf is full of good stuff collected by the people below when they confiscated banned books.
The Kingdom of Avalon strictly prohibits accepting bribes in any form, because that is behavior that can shake "authority". But on the other hand, appropriate profit-making within the scope of authority is tacitly accepted. This is also to prevent officials and ministers from being bribed by foreign spies, especially spies from the Star Antimony Kingdom, when they are short of money, or from selling important intelligence and internal resources to the private sector. This will also undermine "authority".
One of the default ways of making profits includes selling confiscated banned books to the Knight family. From this perspective, this bookshelf can also be regarded as the personal property of Director Kent.
Kent is not a consecrated roadFor those who are on the road ahead, he will definitely not be able to open this book.
But judging from the name and the sparks that burst out, this is a mysterious book that belongs to the path of devotion.
After the death of extraordinary people, their souls will fall into the "Nine Forks of the River" in the dream world and flow to the farthest path they have traveled. The power in it becomes the "path characteristics" that those who come after the advancement ceremony obtain, and their memories and knowledge will be scattered everywhere, falling into the natural existence of flowers, plants, fruits, seas of clouds, and waves in the dream world. , becoming part of the material for building the dream world.
Those dream-walking monks who follow the path of wisdom can capture and collect these headless and scattered esoteric knowledge from the dream world.
They will collect them and organize them into books. This mysterious book containing magical knowledge is called the "original book".
The text of the "Original Canon" is written in Gupta script. It is a kind of writing that has died out for a long time and cannot be read by ordinary people. This often requires translators of the local wisdom path to use mysterious techniques to forcibly translate it before it can be read.
According to the conventions of the translation community, the original texts recording the knowledge of the dream world in Gupta language are uniformly translated as a certain tantra. What the prefix is depends mainly on the translator's understanding of the content of the original text.
In a tantra, a complete mysterious skill can usually be obtained. Although it may be reproduced by people in later generations, there is also a high probability that it will be a lost skill.
Although it may not be useful, it is lost after all.
In other words, it cannot be obtained through normal means
"Then it is enough to be used as a prize and gift."
Director Kent said to himself. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
