Chapter 104 Suitable
"Thank you for your hard work, Maria."
White Knight Maria, who returned to the headquarters, looked at the bald middle-aged man who was pouring tea and water for her silently.
This dark-skinned man with a gentle appearance and a somewhat ordinary appearance is the director of the Dark Arts Investigation and Processing Bureau and the leader of all White Knights.
"Director, you know why I came to you."
Maria rolled her eyes without concealing it.
However, she still picked up the herbal tea prepared by the director and took a light sip.
"Director, I need more support."
"The support just missed you."
The tall, thin, middle-aged man smiled and looked quite harmless.
"Director, I am asking for David's support, not for tracking down the Fire Witch."
Of course, Maria knew how their White Knight headquarters would act. After she informed the headquarters of the Fire Witch's appearance, it was certain that a special investigation team would be set up immediately.
However, that was the investigation team targeting the Fire Witch, not the support Maria requested to help investigate the black magic incident in Kedax City.
"The discovery of the Fire Witch was just an accident. We have no way of knowing who the Fire Witch contacted locally or what she said to someone. Even if the Fire Witch has done such a big thing, she does need to be arrested or eliminated immediately. Dangerous people, we should not ignore the black magic incidents that occurred locally."
"Maria, don't worry too much. A large part of the Fire Witch investigation team we sent here is assisted by outsiders. This will not reduce our bureau's support for David and the others."
The bald White Knight director picked up his tea cup and drank the light green tea slowly.
"Although I know that the news of the Fire Witch's appearance will definitely make other major forces take action, but is this good? Let them take action in the name of our White Knight?"
After Maria rushed back to the headquarters on an emergency flight, she did not go to see the director immediately. The reason for her urgent return was always to seal the dangerous relics.
Not long ago, she completely sealed the dangerous relic with the help of sealing experts from other headquarters.
As for how to further deal with this radio, it will be decided and responsible by the headquarters. She was finally able to get away and see the director.
Until now, she didn't know the details of the Fire Witch's investigation team.
"There's nothing wrong with it. I organized everyone into a team and let them worry about themselves."
The director held the tea cup cheerfully.
"You guy..."
Maria knew that the director was measured, but it was still a bit dangerous to do so.
"Obviously you were so innocent and cute when you were a child, but now you have turned into a sinister uncle. Forget it, I just believe in your decision."
"Haha, Maria, you are still the same as before."
Although the director knew the details of the elite white knight in front of him, at this time he couldn't help but look at the other person's appearance that had not changed for so many years.
And this eldest sister has literally watched him grow up since childhood.
"After all, this is what I pay for."
Maria subconsciously lifted the sunglasses on her face slightly.
"When you make a wish to something of unknown origin and gain power that is not yours, you will always have to sacrifice something you don't want to sacrifice."
"yes……"
The director seemed to be infected and began to sigh.
"Just like I never thought that when I was a child, I was rescued by the White Knight from the backward black wizard tribe, and that I would one day become the director of the White Knight... This is really a joke of fate."
"I said, boy, you really don't want to sit in this seat?"
Maria put down the warm teacup in her hand.
"If possible, I also want to find a suitable successor as soon as possible... At that time, there was just no more suitable candidate than me. This is all the Fire Witch's fault."
The director smiled helplessly.
"More than fifty years ago, the roundup of the Fire Witch caused heavy losses to us White Knights. More than half of the more than fifty elite White Knights sent out were lost. The seniors who were more suitable to be the director than me were all sacrificed at that time. , otherwise, it wouldn’t be my turn as a guy from the dark wizard tribe to sit in this position.”
"You're the perfect candidate, just like you said."
The last time the director of the White Knight was selected, Maria, who had not yet quit the front line, cast her vote for the person in front of her.
In terms of results, this dark-skinned bald man did not disappoint anyone who chose him. He indeed managed the entire Dark Arts Investigation and Processing Bureau very well.
"Don't belittle yourself, you may not be able to become an elite white knight, but in terms of management affairs and politics, you are better suited than anyone else."
Regarding this kind of praise, the director, who has admired the White Knights since he was a child and dreamed of becoming an elite White Knight, doesn't know whether to be happy or feel disappointed.
"Maria, you haven't been on a business trip for a long time. Are you feeling okay? Your sister, is she okay now?"
After reminiscing about the past, the director asked Maria about the status of her mission.
"I'm fine, I'm stable. However, my poor sister was still unconscious before I came back due to spiritual contact with the mind of the Chaos Witch."
Maria thought about this, and her mood suddenly became a little bad.
One of the reasons why she directly asked the director to prepare support as soon as possible was related to her sister.
The younger sister who inherited her former operational code name may no longer be suitable for continuing missions, so she needs to find someone to replace her as soon as possible.
And even if you recover, you may still have sequelae.
Whether as a relative or as an elite white knight, Maria needs to be prepared.
"After the Chaos Witch warned David and the others, she never appeared again. This time, this dangerous Witch seems to be helping us, or in other words, she wants to attack the Abyss Cult. The reason is unknown."
"The Witch of Chaos, and then the Witch of Fire. It is said that the Witch of Gold seems to be hiding behind this black magic incident... From my personal standpoint, I think the Witch of Chaos is more dangerous."
When he was young, the director once came into contact with the witch of chaos, and he knew very well how dangerous this witch was.
"If possible, I would also like to use the manpower that investigates the Witch of Fire to find the Witch of Chaos..."
"But it's impossible. After all, in the eyes of those big forces and figures..."
Maria was not unaware of the director's difficulties, so she would not blame the director for his arrangements.
"A century ago, the Fire Witch who triggered a world war that lasted for almost ten years was a truly dangerous existence... This is what is called, the difference in stance and cognition, it can only be Say yes, there is nothing we can do.”
