Mage? Spell Engineer!
Chapter 155 There is really a mastermind behind the scenes
Rorschach continued to read the newspaper, and a special report on the underground cult appeared.
At the press conference at that time, Necker actually suggested that "the order may come from unfriendly northern neighbors."
A reporter familiar with important news across the continent immediately asked: "Last winter, the Imperial Palace and the Parliament Building were similarly attacked. Huge vines and poisonous fog appeared in the incident. It was highly similar to the Sacred Heart Cathedral incident. Is it similar to yours?" Conflicting accusations?”
"What accusation? Please don't misinterpret me, Mr. Reporter, I mean that the first public activity of the underground cult was in the empire, so it is initially speculated that it originated from the north, not which party it was supported by. Although it developed The speed is amazing.”
Then the commentator of the news agency immediately wrote: Mr. Finance Minister hinted that the Kingdom of Istani provided support to the Mother Earth cult, launched attacks on the two countries, and created serious panic.
Alas, foreign powers, alas, Istani. Rorschach was about to close the newspaper when he saw the advertisement page, but saw a long-lost code.
Um? I haven't received news from the agency for a long time. Now I just write about Valuana every month. Some time ago, I only received a letter from Teacher Caroline from Stormwind City.
"Tomorrow, afternoon, first performance in a box at the Opera House?" This code word made Rorschach confused. Is it just any box? What if I can’t buy a ticket?
Anyway, Rorschach went to the opera house on his precious rest day afternoon. Surprisingly, there are still many seats for this performance at the Royal Opera House, even though it is a holiday in January!
"Sir, you should buy tomorrow's new play. Today is the last day of the performance of "The Three Barrel Merchants". This play, to tell you the truth, is quite boring."
Rorschach was looking at the play list at the ticket counter at the entrance, and a "scalper" from this world came up to him, pretending to sell candies, water, matches and other groceries, but actually holding a handful of tickets.
Seeing that Rorschach was unmoved and prepared to buy tickets directly at the box office, the dealer did not give up and gritted his teeth to sell: "Look at this, I have two tickets for the first performance of the new play tomorrow, and you will get one for this one. The new play is Emerging screenwriter Cuarón’s third drama is a must-see!”
Since the current performances are so bad that they will all be ruined if we don't take action, Brother scalper came up with the technique of bundling sales.
"I want a small box for this show, is there one?"
"Yes, but you have to add more." The ticket dealer just wanted to settle the account and reached a deal with Rorschach.
Rorschach sat alone in a small box, which should normally be reserved for pairs of spectators. The play is indeed boring. It tells the story of the different fortunes of three wine barrel merchants. The opening scene mentions that they are sponsored by the boss of the southern part of the kingdom.
There are custom-made articles these days. Rorschach yawned, and by the end of the first act, he had not yet waited for the contact person to come.
"Do you need a drink?" During the intermission, the door of the private room was knocked by the waiter.
Um? This voice is very familiar. Rorschach cheered up and opened the door without using the [Mage's Hand].
Sure enough, despite being disguised and wearing the clothes of a waiter, his temperament had changed a bit, but Rorschach immediately recognized him as "Mr. Falcon" when he turned around.
He pushed the drink trolley in. Rorschach closed the box door again and looked around. There were only a few spectators in the box, and the seats below were not full. No one was paying attention to his side.
"Why don't you have any ticket sales information? I'm going to knock on each box one by one." This time, the dignified imperial agency officer's career experience in the royal capital was added to one.
Rorschach took the purple soda poured into the glass. There was a stack of banknotes at the bottom of the glass: "I'm looking for a ticket dealer. Give me this money?"
"Reimburse the ticket." Falcon put the cart down, took out an elegant formal suit from the bottom of the cart and put it on, so that he was one of the spectators.
At the beginning of the second act, Rorschach and Brother Falcon both raised their theater glasses.
The two sat side by side, as if discussing a bad plot. Brother Falcon explained: "The Pacharuka Chamber of Commerce has closed down for rectification. The boss discovered the agency's organization in the Holy Kingdom. The accounting chaos is shocking."
Luo Xia nodded. Brother Falcon thought of something: "You weren't the one who reported it, right?"
"Report it truthfully. After all, my salary will be deducted."
"That's damn good. But it also makes me have to stay here for a while longer. Now I am in charge here. If anything happens, you can contact me through a single line."
"Where's Brother Xiao? Your partner."
"That's why I'm looking for you. He went to Istani to perform a mission. Our agency tried to investigate the mage of the Forest Tower and found that someone had an affair with the Order.
The reason why the Order is developing so fast is that in addition to the support of nobles in the southern part of the empire, we also found funding from across the strait. "
As he spoke, he put a bag of documents on the small coffee table, and Rorschach picked it up and put it into the space ring.
ah? The conspiracy theory commentator from the news agency got his guess right? In Rorschach's impression, although the Holy Kingdom and the Empire were hostile, it did not prevent the Istani Kingdom from carrying out a large amount of trade with both countries. There was never any sign of a connection with the Istani during the contact with the Order.
No, Rorschach thought of the three-party investigation report he saw when he was hospitalized. It showed that "Rat King" Old Red was a sailor before running a bar and worked as a first mate, and the fleet he was in traveled to and from the Holy Kingdom. and among island kingdoms.
Hiss. No matter in the past life or in this world, does the mainland have its own island nation? "So, what do you want me to do?"
Brother Falcon started to eat cookies: "The boss asked me to ask you if you can go to Storm City in the name of Magic Tower and get in touch with Istani's guild and Magic Tower. It's written in the document. What is the specific name? .Just like the last time I went to the Black Forest."
"That's a coincidence, it's not something I can go if I want to. And I'm going back to China soon."
"Attending a wedding? Not in May?" It's only the end of February, isn't it a bit urgent?
Rorschach was thinking about building a factory and choosing a location for his magic tower: "We should leave in March or April. I still have some things to deal with."
Falcon did not pursue the question, but thought for a while: "Well, there is no rush to go to Istany. Now the underground cult has suffered heavy losses in both countries, and our agency has judged that it will stop for a while. The specific time and The method is decided by the boss, I will inform you."
Brother Falcon didn't say more. Reporting the information about the Order and Istani to Rorschach was just one of the many things he did when he came to the Holy Kingdom.
"Now that Rorschach is an intermediate mage, you can't expect him to be submissive. But in the end, Istany's matter may still need to be solved by him." Sabins told Falcon before setting off.
The core members of the sect revealed that there was a deal between the Istani royal family and the sect, involving a ruins on the island and a legendary holy relic. If this is true, perhaps only the mage can investigate deeply and escape unscathed.
At this time, the agency was seriously short of manpower. On the one hand, it was tracing the sect and rectifying internal financial problems, and on the other hand, it was caught in the internal strife of all parties in the empire. Although both belong to the military, in addition to the special forces defense agency, there is also an intelligence organization led by the chief mage accompanying the army, and all of them are composed of spellcasters.
The establishment of the special defense agency also means that the emperor wants to prevent the magic caster organization in the military department from growing bigger, hoping that they will restrain each other. Now, Sabins and the Chief Mage are opposing and arguing with each other in various aspects.
Compared with the chief leader's spell caster organization, the vast majority of special defense agency commissioners have military backgrounds. Although Rorschach is a "non-staff" who has not received formal training and does not have an official code name, his ability to be quickly promoted to an intermediate mage is impressive to the agency. Chang pays special attention to it.
Rorschach's trip to the Black Forest made the Forest Tower aware of the infiltration and threat of Mother Earth, and also made the agency's work much easier.
As for me, there are too many messy things in the empire now, so I might as well come to the Holy Kingdom to watch the opera.
Brother Falcon thought so, and leaned on the soft chair and changed into a more comfortable position. Although the play was boring in Rorschach's eyes, the commissioner who had moved from the battlefield to the secret front watched it with gusto.
