--Scallion Street·Underground--
"Your Majesty, it's already the fifth day." Bird-Beak Elder reminded in a low voice in the dark and spacious room.
"I know."
They had previously planned to let the Fox family obtain Dragon's remains for their own Feast Ritual needs, but they did not expect that the development of things would not be exactly what they thought.
The remains of Dragon have indeed arrived, but they are the core exhibits of "Bionics School". If they want it, they will definitely offend this school, and the consequences will be completely different from what they expected before.
Although offending the Fox family is troublesome, their energy is limited. As long as they escape from Asura District and find a remote place to hide, the matter will be over in a few years. However, a Mage school has too many means that they cannot easily touch.
Although the changes in the development of things almost made their previous plans fall short, it is not completely hopeless.
"Bionics School must have brought Dragon Eye treasures other than the Dragon remains. There are probably one or two smaller treasures to make up for leaks or as backups. All we need are the fourth-level Dragon Eye treasures. The importance of such things to a school is greatly reduced." Bird-Beak Scholar helped with the analysis.
"However, we still need to find someone to investigate this matter and verify it before taking action."
"If you want to go to the exhibition hall to obtain information, you must be a current student of Asura District. None of the current subordinates are suitable."
"Yes." Fire Pig's dull response sounded in the room.
"We have to find students who are suitable for control and obedient, and let him complete this task."
"Go and find some more candidates."
"After confirming the information, we will start taking action."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The complete Dragon Bone is not something they can covet, but those small scattered Dragon Eye treasures still remain in their thoughts, making Fire Pig slowly take action.
Time is limited, and their best time to act is to get the treasures they need before the final three Academy arrive. If they wait until the representatives of the three Academy arrive, many things will become extremely dangerous. Even the leaders such as Fire Pig, who never go to school, still have awe and fear for them.
The next day, in the evening.
Agate Street As usual, as the time comes to get off work, many workers return and the place becomes increasingly lively.
Anali also came to the restaurant to help out today, wanting to share the work with the aunt.
However, there are two other figures here today.
"Anali, you are back." The aunt welcomed her first, and then introduced the two new figures.
It turned out that they were new helpers in the restaurant and introduced by the aunt's acquaintances.
"I won't have to work so hard on you in the future. In fact, I also know that because you come to my place so often, you waste a lot of time studying. This is not good." The aunt explained and comforted Anali.
Faced with such a situation, although Anali showed acceptance and it didn't matter on his face, he was still a little disappointed in his heart, probably because he wasn't that important anymore.
However, her reason told her that what her aunt did was indeed right. The restaurant only relied on her and her aunt, so it was still too busy, and sometimes it would not be able to support it. And she did need more time to devote to her studies, so she could not live up to the adult's expectations.
"I know, but let me help you for a while today." She replied slightly stubbornly.
After the aunt agreed, Anali came to the kitchen of the restaurant again and started to get up, but today there was no rush and worry as usual, and the movements became a little slower and more serious.
Time passed, and gradually it was time to close the door. When the last light was blown out, Anali stood in front of the store and said goodbye to her aunt.
"Then I'm going back. See you next time."
Asura District's school exhibitions are still going on, but Sylutia has already been to most of the exhibitions, so she hasn't paid much attention to them recently. Until one evening, when she returned from school and was about to go back to her dormitory, an extremely anxious aunt Orc stopped her.
"Sir Hedra, I'm sorry that I appear here." As an unidentified gangster, she cannot leave Agate Street easily. This is the underground rule of Asura District.
"However, something happened to Anali. She didn't come home yesterday. This afternoon, the school sent people to her dormitory to inquire. Unexpectedly, there was still no one. I don't know what to do. I can only think of you."
Is this? Sylutia was surprised. He didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen to Asura District at this critical moment.
"I understand, please take me to where she lives first."
Then she called Steam Locomotive on the roadside and set off immediately.
A few minutes later, when she got out of the car, a police car was already parked on the street.
Because she was an acquaintance, it was easy for her to find out what was going on inside.
"We also received a report that a student was missing, and we just came here not long ago." The police officer had no clue at the moment and just checked the house.
"Everything is very neat, and there are even some precious personal belongings and a small amount of coins. It doesn't look like he left preparedly, but it is consistent with the circumstances of an accidental disappearance.
It's going to be even worse now, Sylutia thought to himself.
Then she followed the police officer to the simple room. This was a student dormitory, and all the residents were Orc. The others had poor academic performance, and they did not have much contact with Anali on weekdays. It was said that there were some minor conflicts between them.
No wonder she likes to run to her aunt so much. It seems that life in this dormitory is not pleasant.
After the preliminary investigation was completed, there were not many clues left, so Sylutia had to return to Police Station with the police, where she heard even more unexpected news.
"You're saying that a rare Dragon Eye "treasure" is missing from Bionics School's exhibition hall!?" Director Police Station asked the members in front of him loudly.
"Yes, this matter was just reported to us by Mage of Bionics School. In fact, they have been searching for it for a day, but there is really no result, so they notified us."
"Is it that huge fire dragon skeleton?" Director Police Station felt that if something went wrong with that guy, his position would also be implicated.
"No, it's another smaller dragon's eye orb. It's said to be Cold Song Dragon Eye wrapped in a Azure Stone." the police officer replied nervously.
In the Asura District exhibition halls of each school of thought, in addition to their own personnel protection, the local police will also send people to assist with security. Although they only bear secondary responsibility, if something really happens, those schools of Mage will at most be punished internally, and they will lose their jobs.
"I understand." Director Police Station waved his hand and let him go down for now while he sorted out the information and thoughts.
It seems that a lot of things happened in the past two days. Sylutia did not immediately disturb the director. Instead, he found the most recent case file in Police Station and started to look through it.
Are there only two leaders of Asura District now? Looking at the description above, they had a lot of conflicts some time ago.
At night, several special black-clothed personnel arrived. They were professionals in the Mage Alliance who were responsible for looking for clues and analyzing traces of various activities. They had also appeared in Sylutia's school where students had disappeared before.
"The results were surprising. There was some overlap in traces between the missing Dragon Eye treasure and the also missing student, which made people wonder whether she had taken away the treasure." After the investigation, the two incidents unexpectedly overlapped.
"Is that so? That makes sense. It must have been the Orc student who peeped at the treasure, stole it from the exhibition hall, and took it away to escape." Many police officers thought so, and they started talking about it for a while.
"Sure enough, Orc is like that. They don't dare to steal or rob anything."
"Asura District Eighty percent of security incidents are caused by them. I'm not discriminating against these guys, but they really don't care about human affairs."
"Now we have some clues. Let's arrest the acquaintances around the missing student and ask them to see if we can find any clues about her whereabouts."
"Oh, by the way, there seems to be a problem with her identity. She was originally a fake student, but she recently applied to stay through special channels." Someone said in a low voice.
"That's enough, stop talking nonsense and start investigating." A capable police officer interrupted the discussion and asked everyone to take action first.
After that, he came over and comforted Sylutia.
"Miss Hedra, I'm afraid this matter is complicated. It's best for you not to get involved." He knew that the missing girl Orc was the one who Hedra helped apply for a place to stay in school. He didn't expect the other person to be that kind of person. I guess the black-haired girl was also very sad.
"It's okay." Sylutia closed his eyes and shook his head slightly, then opened them again.
"I believe this matter has nothing to do with Anali. She was just accidentally involved." She believed that the girl would not do such a thing. Secondly, judging from various subtle clues, there are indeed many contradictions in this matter.
If it was really Anali who did it, she would not have left precious notebooks and frugal coins in the dormitory, which she had spent a lot of energy and time to obtain.
"Can I help with the investigation and get involved?"
"This——" the police officer hesitated. After all, this was not an ordinary case.
"I hope you can agree to my request." Sylutia took out a special badge, showed it to the police officer, and then bent down and bowed.
This was a badge she had previously obtained at the Rorick Academy. It represented the appreciation of the two professors for her and allowed her to enter and leave Academy freely. Although it was nothing to the official Mage, for students who were still in the apprenticeship stage, such a badge was proof of strength, indicating that she had been recognized by some big shots and had a bright future.
Afterwards, the police officer reported the situation to the chief, who agreed to the girl's request after careful consideration.
"However, you can't act alone, you must come with us." He didn't want this girl to have an accident. After all, very few people in Asura District didn't know this girl's name. Teachers from various schools often discussed and guessed which Academy she would go to.
"I will." Sylutia agreed.
In the following days, Asura District's security force sealed off Agate Street, and then conducted a more stringent investigation of the traces of people inside, and Chili Face", who had jurisdiction over this area, was also controlled by the police.
"This was never done by me, nor was it ordered by me!"
Tied to a chair, this big man Orc kept struggling to explain.
"You know me. People like us understand the seriousness of things and will not cause sabotage at such a critical moment. Besides, if I really have bad intentions, how can I expose the suspicion to the people in the neighborhood under my jurisdiction? This must be a frame-up! Yes, a frame-up." Suddenly he wanted to understand something.
"It must be Fire Pig" They did it. I know that guy too well. He couldn't hold back his anger before. He thought we framed him and made him miserable. This time he must have the same idea to take revenge on us."
Chili Face spoke faster and faster, and became increasingly emotional. As if he had discovered the truth of the matter, he kept shouting, "It's the enemy Fire Pig who deliberately framed me."
Although this idea is bizarre, it is not impossible. Based on the knowledge of the police officers on the scene about the underground leader, it is really possible for the other party to do such a thing.
"However, this is just a guess. We can't just report it like this. Those big shots will think we are being perfunctory." A police officer replied.
"We can only bring the people over there to question Fire Pig." Director Police Station rubbed his temples and felt a headache.
He knew that these leaders of the underground world were all cunning and cunning, and they would never admit it without concrete evidence.
If it were in the past, even if the leader would not admit it, if the relationship with Police Station was stalemate, their daily livelihood would be affected and hit, so they would not dare to offend the police.
But now, once they admit it, they will die. These guys will definitely try their best to deny it. Some of the methods in the past will not work. Moreover, if there is no concrete evidence to submit, those Mage will probably think that Police Station just grabbed a scapegoat to cover up their incompetence.
Sure enough, the development of the matter was as expected by the director. Fire Pig always denied it, saying that he had remained completely silent during this period and did not dare to provoke anyone. He was simply innocent.
After questioning to no avail, Police Station members, under heavy pressure from above, searched all the underground passages and warehouses where Fire Pig" usually occupied. Although some stolen goods and contraband were found, there was really no clue to Dragon Eye's treasure.
Now the clues have been cut off, and the case has reached a deadlock again. It has been two days since Anali disappeared.
Sylutia couldn't help but worry about the missing Anali. The longer the delay, the lower the other party's survival rate. If this is really a frame-up, then after losing its use value, Anali will most likely be silenced by the other party to prevent the news from leaking out.
Unfortunately, even if she restores the fourth-level Class, she won't have much advantage in tracking down clues.
Seeing that the situation was slipping towards Abyss step by step, Sylutia finally received a secret message reminder.
The other party did not tell her the answer directly, but carefully pointed out a direction with the help of the handwriting on the sand tray at the street stall. Indeed, after she saw it, the plate shook slightly and the writing on it quickly disappeared, leaving no trace of the dark yellow wheat bran sold by Yong Yan.
