Age of Mysticism Chapter 160

  Chapter 160 Exchange

   Menacing ah!

   If you are not careful, you may not be able to get out of Raging Waves City.

   Facing the pair of big hands "manipulating" behind Inspector Meteor, Yomington could only suppress his temper. Let's see what Virgil's situation is now, and then find a way to rescue him through other means.

  The imperial spies on the side opened the prison, and a group of people walked in.

  Member Virgil curled up in a corner, with his head buried between his knees, his hair was messed up like a bird's nest, and his body smelled bad. He ignored the person who entered the prison, thinking nervously: "I'm guilty...I'm guilty...I'm guilty..."

Yomington walked over immediately, hugged Fugil's shoulder with concern and said, "Virgil, Virgil, look who I am... I am Yomington, Lord Chief Assistant Gabriel sent me to see you. We We all believe you are innocent, and we will get you out."

  Virgil raised his head and looked at Yomington with dull eyes: "No, I am not innocent, I am guilty! I lied, cheated, and stole...I am a heinous criminal."

  Yormington could see that Virgil had become delirious due to the influence of the spirit mill here. His mental barrier is collapsing, if he is allowed to stay here, even if he is rescued, he will be a useless person.

   "Member Virgil, you must be strong and concentrate your will to resist the spiritual hallucinations. Remember! You are an upright nobleman of the empire, and Mr. Shoufu speaks highly of you, and he will not give up on you.

   You must persevere! "

   "Chief Assistant!" Fugil's eyes were concentrated, and he became a little brighter. He said, "Please tell Mr. Gabriel, I know who stole that batch of gold...it is him!"

  Virgil pointed at Luke and said angrily, "He and Ible stole that batch of gold."

   Luke, who was standing aside, said with a smile: "Who is the batch of gold that Ible and I stole?"

As soon as Yomington realized something was wrong and was about to stop him, Virgil said, "It's for Lord Chief Assistant. Lord Yomington, the nine tons of gold were stolen by him and Ible, and they even framed me Steal it!"

  Yomington immediately distanced himself from Vergil, and said sternly: "Virgil, you are crazy, don't talk nonsense!"

  Virgil took Yomington's arm: "Please, take me out now. I can't stay here anymore, here is endless darkness.

   Please, take me away. "

  Luke said: "I have a lot of questions I want to ask you... After answering, I will let you go with Lord Yomington."

"it is good!"

"No!" Yomington hurriedly stopped: "Member Virgil is unconscious now, and nothing he said has any legal effect and cannot be used as evidence to accuse anyone. Detective Meteor, the councilor is in urgent need of treatment. If he Really crazy and not doing you any good!

  Enough is enough! Please respect an Imperial Lord! "

  Yormington used magic to put Virgil to sleep, and then prevented Luke from interrogating him. According to Virgil's current state, he would definitely say a lot of things that he couldn't bear.

  If he could, he wanted to kill Vergil now.

   This prison is too weird!

Luke sneered and said: "The court only needs evidence, and our Secret Intelligence Bureau only recognizes the facts, and I hope you and Mr. Chief Assistant can also see the facts clearly. Even if I don't ask, in a few days, Congressman Virgil will put him Say everything you know.

  Some things, if I haven't heard it, I can pretend not to know. If I hear... then I must take action. This is my duty as an imperial agent and His Majesty's personal soldier.

  You can take Virgil away this time, but you must show enough sincerity! "

  Yormington didn't expect Inspector Meteorite to be willing to hand over Virgil to himself after burning the judge's order letter.

  Of course...the exchange price is definitely not what I prepared before.

"what do you want?"

  Luke looked at the comatose Vergil, and said, "You can't decide what I want. Even if you promise something, it's a lie that can be torn up at any time.

  After much deliberation, money is the most practical thing. The 20,000 gold certificate should not be too difficult for you to deal with. If I see the money, you can take the person away. "

  Yormington's expression froze.

  This Meteor Inspector is really not following common sense!

  I have just anticipated at least ten harsh demands that he will make in a short period of time, and I have figured out how to deal with these demands. But he never expected that this guy would openly ask for money directly.

  Is it that simple? Is it that straightforward? Is it that easy?

   "Inspector, is your request... serious?"

  Luke said with a smile: "Not very serious. If you think it is not serious enough, I can seriously consider changing the request."

   "No!" Yomington realized that the question he just asked was very unprofessional, and he immediately said: "I will send someone to prepare the money immediately, and it will be delivered here before nightfall today."

   "No receipt."

   "No receipt is needed, I just need to take Congressman Virgil."

   "The title of MP can be removed."

   "Yes, in his state, it is indeed not suitable to be a member of parliament anymore."

   "Very well, we'll just wait here, hand over the money and the people."

   "Thanks, Inspector."

   "Hahaha, you can think about your price now."

  It was not difficult for Yomington to raise 20,000 gold coupons in Raging Waves City. The money was delivered before dark, and Luke readily released Vergil.

   It's useless to keep it anyway.

  His state, and what he said, is doomed to the end of his official career. It was impossible for Yomington to put him back in an important position, and it would be the best of humanity not to let him shoot himself in the back.

  Luke also didn't want to be missed by Yomington all the time just because he locked up Vergil. After showing his tough attitude at the right time, he retreated from the first line to the second line by taking advantage of the downhill donkey. With Mrs. Mihir, Senator Ible and Viscount Iscoran, there is no need for him to charge forward. The main generals of the two sides should leave some space for each other so that they can advance and retreat with evidence.

   Besides... 20,000 gold coupons!

  I am the "inspector" in Raging Waves City, isn't it just to make money! Can you really do a job and love a job? Loyal to investigate taxes and corrupt officials for the emperor?

  Stick to your heart and not put the cart before the horse.

  Happily returning to the dormitory with the bag containing 20,000 gold coupons. Luke didn't immediately cast the "rotation of the present and the future" secret technique. The bird egg obtained by releasing the secret technique last time hadn't figured out what it was, so it's better to use this secret technique with caution in the future.

   If you summon something that the clear sky can't beat, isn't it just a trap for yourself?

   And there's a party tonight...requires Clear Sky to attend.

  Raging City turned into night.

  Yomington sent Vergil to the hospital and sent people to closely monitor him, before returning to his residence. Under the desk lamp, he spread a piece of paper on the table and picked up a pen to write a letter to Chief Assistant Gabriel.

   This direct confrontation with Inspector Meteor left him an extremely deep impression.

"This is a very difficult guy. I can't predict what he will do next. All the rules are a display that can be broken in front of him. He is not a traditional imperial official, nor is he a secret agent as I used to know. .

  I can understand why Raging Waves City has undergone such big changes in such a short period of time. They are facing an unpredictable opponent, and he has the full support of the eldest princess and even His Majesty.

  His identity is definitely not a detective. A detective will not gain such trust from Her Royal Highness, nor will he be so bold. He must be the most trusted confidant of the eldest princess, with a special status.

  I hope that adults can check the real identity of Meteor in the imperial capital.

  In addition, be prepared to... give up some people and interests.

including me…"

   After writing the letter, Yomington put it in an envelope, sealed it with a special wax, and printed his own magic seal.

   Hand it over to the subordinates and send it to St. Lun City as quickly as possible.

  Then Yomington opened the drawer and took out a wooden pipe. He had quit smoking for a long time, but he still used to keep his favorite pipe with him, as well as the bag of tobacco leaves, which he took out occasionally to smell the smoke inside.

  And this time he poured some tobacco leaves into the pipe, lit it and smoked.

  In the smoke, he felt as if he had returned to that prison again. It's just that it's not Virgil who is curled up in the corner, but himself. There is endless darkness, and fear is everywhere.

  Yormington took another puff of smoke.

  Outside the window, the moon rises high, and street lights illuminate the street. There are many carriages and cars on the road. The rich people who have been hiding at home because of the "clear sky" and the abyss mage can't wait to start their long-lost nightlife after the crisis is over.
