Chapter 306 Waiting

"It feels like your place is about to turn into a nursery."

Almost a week has passed since the encounter with the black magician, and everything seems to have remained the same.

The discovery of the black magician was not publicized, and no rumors were formed that would attract the attention of the White Knight. Everything was under Rodrick's control.

Annan didn't pay too much attention to matters here because he knew that as a collaborator, he could handle it well.

Now that I have some time to pay attention, I can find that the three children of the dark race from Paradise Island are well taken care of.

Of course, these three children were not raised with those children of superpowers, and these two different secrets were not suitable for being together.

Roderick found some reliable nannies elsewhere to take care of the three children of the dark race who were under ten years old.

Due to the experience of the three children living on Paradise Island, they knew very well that their identities could not be exposed to the outside world. Although they were still young, they could have initial contact with others.

Unlike those children with superpowers who must not be exposed, these three children in the dark are easier to take care of.

Having said that, if the true identities of these three children were discovered, it would still cause problems.

It depends on whether this secret can be kept forever.

"So, have you found any suspicious clues?"

"There really is..."

The gang boss sitting behind his desk looked tired.

He hadn't had much time to rest lately in order to investigate something that might be problematic.

"According to what the child John said, there were a total of five people who escaped from Paradise Island with him, three children of about the same age as him, and an older brother who took them to escape... At the same time, there were other people on different ships, Those who escaped from Paradise Island..."

John, a boy with snake eyes, and his group were not very lucky.

They came to land by boat, and after many attempts to find a place to stay, their true identity was discovered by a black magician in the end, and they were set up.

The place where their accident happened was in the south, where the security was even more chaotic than that of Matatek. Although there were white knights there, they failed to seek help in time.

The eldest brother who took John was killed by the black magician's crazy experiment. Then, the black magician took the four boys to Matatek and Kedax City.

After arriving in this city, the black magician started experiments again. He continued to torture the four children, and eventually one child could not bear it and died quietly.

John didn't really know much about the situation. After he fell into a coma, he found out that he had been rescued, and then he saw through Roderick's identity of the dark race at a glance, and then things developed to this point.

After Roderick asked John everything about him, he immediately discovered that the dead black magician had actually come to this city through his own smuggling channel.

After discovering this, he continued to investigate without stopping, and as expected, he discovered a new problem.

That is the character who escaped on Paradise Island. Some people may have also used the smuggling method here to go to other places, or to go deep into this country.

Although Roderick was just guessing, he felt it was quite possible, and he immediately destroyed all the records to avoid being discovered.

These related smuggling activities, except for the one involving the black magician, were all done by other people before Rodrick completely unified the Nares Gang. It can be said to be making extra money, or it can be said that daily activities.

After taking care of all the traces and sealing it, Roderick was a little frightened and broke into a cold sweat, and finally relaxed.

"Those guys are really bold. Don't they know that there is a white knight in this city? And there is also an elite white knight... They almost fell into a trap..."

"How could those guys know that there is a new group of white knights stationed in this city? There is news about elite white knights here, and we got it through unique channels. How can ordinary people know about it?"

Annan thought of those white knights who were still there.

The White Knight troops who came to this city to investigate still show no signs of withdrawing. They seem to be permanently stationed in this city.

"They may know that there are white knights stationed in the capital, or they may know that there have been several black magic incidents in this city before, but under normal circumstances, the white knights should have left, and they thought it was safe here."

"That's why I said it's okay... If those guys make trouble in this city, maybe we will be implicated..."

Roderick never thought that someone related to black magic would use his gang's smuggling channels. After all, as long as they find a suitable person and pay a sufficient amount, their gang will provide services.

Smuggling has been a major source of income for the Nares Gang since the beginning, and it is barely clean. It cannot be stopped suddenly even now.

From now on, I can only pay more attention to prevent objects related to black magic from using my method of smuggling.

As for the results, Roderick would not have any confidence, all he could do was be cautious.

“Antonio’s side, it seems like nothing has been discovered through the investigation?”

"No," Annan spread his hands and shook his head, "How can it be so easy to find out the internal secrets of the White Knight? Mr. Detective decided to do the next best thing and see if he could find out anything useful. But he also said, don’t have any expectations.”

"Or, I can try to find other information dealers..."

Although Roderick has not completely conquered the underground world of this city, he is almost there.

No one can stop him now, unless he, the boss, suddenly dies at a critical moment like he did when the three major gangs collapsed. Otherwise, in a short time, he will truly become the leader of the city's underground world. emperor.

With the current resources and channels at his disposal, it is not impossible to gain access to international secret intelligence, although it will definitely cost a lot.

"If you are willing to buy information, you can do it. However, be careful of the fishing behavior that White Knights like very much. Fishing law enforcement, they are professionals."

Annan reminded.

"That's right... Then it's better to just stay calm and do nothing, so that it won't attract their attention..."

In the final analysis, Roderick was just trying to protect himself. If possible, he would never want to have contact with the White Knight.

"By the way, speaking of the White Knights, I received a letter from them today..."

"Letter? About what?"

"They said that the Nares mansion, which has been sealed up, has now completed all inspections and decontamination, and it can be determined that there are no problems and can be returned to me... I only need to go to the police station to sign and go through a simple procedure. , you can get the mansion back..."

Of course, Roderick will never forget the place where he grew up, and has always been banned by the White Knight and the local police department.

However, when the officials really completed all the investigations and said that the Nares mansion would be returned, Roderick felt a little confused.

He now has quite complicated feelings about the place where he has lived since he was a child.

Almost everyone in his family and relatives died there.

He didn't want to go back to that place, but he didn't want to just let go of the mansion either.

"Annan, do you have any use for that big house?"

"No."

Annan's response was very straightforward.

"No...well, it seems that we can just let the house stay there..."

Roderick shook his head, no longer thinking about the past that could no longer be repeated.

"Annan, do you know how long those white knights will stay in this city? As long as they are here, the rest of us cannot rest assured..."

“It’s impossible to leave without a year and a half.”

Annan suddenly said "Ah" at this time.

"It seems that I haven't told you about this?"

"...What's going on here?" Rodrick had a bad feeling.

"About why the White Knight sent a normal force and an elite White Knight stayed in this city."

The information Annan knew naturally came from a certain former elite white knight.

"Rodrick, you know that the White Knight's Paradise Island was bombed, right? The reason why it was bombed was because when they were destroying a certain relic in their daily routine, something unexpected happened. The accident, and the relic that caused the accident on Paradise Island came from us."

"..."

Roderick really wanted to tell him such important news, and he should have told him immediately.

I can forget such things. It can only be said that it is very much like Annan's style.

"The director of the White Knight believes that the relic from this city may have something to do with our city, so he wants to investigate. This is one of the reasons. There are also many confusing factors, such as the Abyss Cult. The witches of Tuan and Chaos, as well as the witch of fire who appeared before, and so on.”

The White Knights, who have always been short of manpower, cannot allow a complete force to stay here to conduct investigations without clues, but even so, it is estimated that they will stay here for a long time.

Anyway, with the technology of this era, even if you want to go to the other side of the earth, it only takes a day at most to fly. If you really need it, you will of course be drafted if you stay in the White Knight Army, and you can come back after completing the mission. That's it.

"That's why it's impossible for the white knight here to leave within a year and a half."

"In other words, we can only wait..."

Roderick sighed helplessly.

"Okay, let's wait a little longer..."

＊

"How does it feel?"

"It hurts……"

Munch was lying on the bed with a pale face. Wright responded angrily.

Annan looked at his patient and nodded with satisfaction.

If you have the strength to reply, then there will be no problem.

"Well, congratulations. The removal of your black magic heart was very successful. You have got rid of the black magic organ. As for your weak state, you should be fine in about half a day."

"I hope..."

Munch, the stargazer, had received some special training from the observatory, but even he couldn't stand the pain just now, and the sequelae can still be felt to this day.

This is the so-called pain in the soul.

The dark magic organ that had maintained his life before seemed to have been closely integrated with his soul.

Now if we want to remove it, we can only cut his soul directly.

Munch knew very well that the soul of this world was not an important thing, and even if the soul was damaged, not everyone would feel uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, he is not one of those few people. He belongs to the type of people who feel extreme pain when their souls are hurt.

Even though he had been sedated and injected with drugs for general anesthesia, he was awakened by pain in the middle of the operation.

He doesn't feel anything special physically. It's better to say he's healthy. He's recovering well after the heart transplant.

However, the body and soul are different. The pain in the soul has profoundly affected his spirit, making him depressed now.

"It looks like you're fine, so I'll leave first."

Annan, the surgeon, can be said to be very irresponsible. Even in the last heart transplant operation, he left immediately after the operation and did not stay long to observe the patient's condition.

Anyway, taking care of patients can be left to Automata December, and there will definitely be no problems.

If there is really a problem, just check again.

"It seems like there's nothing special to do."

After completing the removal of Stargazer Monk's dark magic heart, Annan did not have any special arrangements for the next period of time.

Magic Professor Dulan estimates that he will need to rest for another month. During this period, the Life Magic Department will not publish another paper, even if they have prepared a new paper.

Roderick's matter no longer has any obstacles, and there is no need to interfere.

"Actually, it's not like there's nothing you can do."

After Annan returned home, he began to prepare for something next.

He took out the suona he borrowed from the college professor Jiuxiao from his small safe.

Since the trouble with the Lord of the Rings was temporarily resolved, he no longer carried this tool with him to deal with spirits.

"Well, it's almost time to hold the next black magic lecture."

Annan happily began to make appropriate preparations for this matter.

"By the way, I need to give my black magic lecture a nice name. What should I call it?"

The college does not necessarily require that the classes offered have a suitable name. For example, the black magic lecture that Annan used before can actually be regarded as a class name.

However, considering that the same lectures or courses, which can also be called experiments, may be held from time to time in the future, Annan still wanted to come up with a name that others could remember.

"Since we want others to learn black magic lessons, then so be it."

Annan had no hesitation at all. After thinking briefly, he decided on a name for his black magic lecture.

"The black magic instruction course, or the black magic guidance course, hmm, that's it!"
