Chapter 196 Follow-up
Regarding Klein's question, Dunn did not directly refuse to answer. Instead, he thought for a moment and replied:
"Since you asked this question, I think you should already have some understanding of what happened there, but you have to believe that I may not know as much information as you."

Dunn took out his cigar and took a deep sniff under his nose, then said:

“I learned from the Heart of Machinery that Moss’s Ascetic Society holds gatherings there, haha, of course it’s not just dinner like we have today, they will perform very evil sacrificial rituals.

The Mechanical Heart learned about the gathering from certain sources and raided the Vinya Manor where the Morse Trappist Order was located.Oh, it's a luxurious but uninhabited manor with a large area. "

"Captain, do you know the outcome of the final battle?"

"It was probably the Heart of Machinery that arrested those members of the secret organization. They had reinforcements from Backlund. I'm not too sure about the details. The Nighthawks didn't participate in the operation."

"Klein, the carriage is here."

He waved to the carriage approaching in the distance and ended the topic.

Klein suspected that the true identity of "The Hermit" was a member of "Elemental Dawn", and he returned home with this doubt.

The next day, when Klein, who had become an official member of the Nighthawks, received the "Wizard" wanted notice from captain Dunn, the shock in his eyes was uncontrollable.

"What, do you know him? Have some impression?"

As the captain of the Nighthawks, Dunn has rich experience and a keen sense of smell, he noticed Klein's shock.

Klein stared at the black-and-white photo of the "Wizard" on the wanted poster, and it was difficult not to connect him with the "Hermit".

He raised his eyebrows, took the wanted order, relieved his tense heart, and pretended to be surprised:

"I didn't expect that there would be people dressed like this in the Fifth Age."

"That's natural. Many members of the secret organization wear strange clothes during activities."

Dunn smiled and continued:

"I remember that in...well, the 'wizard' wore the robes of a wizard from the Fourth Age."

Klein knew that the captain's memory was not very good, so he laughed it off and asked seriously:

"What crime did the 'Witcher' commit?"

"Isn't it written below that he was suspected of robbing the Tingen Bank and used extraordinary abilities to kill two suspected members of a secret organization at the University District Police Station."

Robbing banks, killing people in police stations...

Klein took a deep breath. Could it be that the "hermit" was a dangerous, potential madman?

"Captain, when did the bank robbery happen?"

Dunn took out an action report from a pile of documents on the table, handed it to Klein, and said:

"Fry and Luo Yao once fought against the Wizard, not long after the bank robbery."

Klein took the action report and flipped through it, and Dunn added:
"The strength of the 'Wizard' cannot be underestimated. In the interrogation room of the police station, in front of a mechanical heart, he killed two suspected members of the Moss Trappist Order."

While saying this, Dunn was also thinking about whether to tell Klein about the "Wizard" sneaking into the Blackthorn Security Company and stealing greeting cards.

Kill the Morse Dervishes... The "hermit" can definitely be a member of "Elemental Dawn", but what does robbing a bank mean?Judging from yesterday's Tarot meeting, he is not short of money at all...

Klein also didn't know the true intention of the "Hermit", so he decided to test the "Hermit" at the Tarot meeting next week to see if he could make him voluntarily reveal his true intention.

"But, Klein, don't worry too much."

Dunn patted him on the shoulder and said kindly:
"Fry and Luo Yaozai are in charge of the 'Wizard' case. Now that the 'Antigonus Notes' have been found, your task now is to study, learn extraordinary knowledge, and improve yourself as soon as possible."

He paused and continued;
"The 'Wizard' should have escaped Tingen, and an elite team of Nighthawks is already searching for him. You don't have to worry."

Captain, you don’t have to comfort me like this. I may know more about "Wizards" than you...

Klein didn't think about it anymore, put the action report back on the table, and saluted:
"Captain, I'm going to work." "Wait a minute," Dunn looked at Klein who turned to leave, suddenly thought of something, and stopped him.

"I almost forgot just now. I told Leonard before to find a fighting teacher to tutor you. Well, as an official member of the Nighthawks, fighting skills are a compulsory subject."

……

Time goes back to when Chris and Steve entered the world of the painting.

Ekanser Bernard did not understand the meaning of the picture displayed by the "magic mirror". After receiving another punishment and electric shock, he looked at Horik with the silver mirror:

"You know them?"

Horik also realized his reckless behavior just now, lowered his head and replied:
"Your Excellency Ikanser, I have seen that thin man before. We have issued a wanted order for him, codenamed 'Wizard'."

"Oh?"

Ikanser waved his hand, and the team members from Backlund behind him walked in with something like a metal detector and began to scan the entire study.

This also means that the battle outside has basically ended and has entered the final stage.

Horik followed him out of the study and walked slowly down the long corridor.

"How do you know him? That 'wizard'?" Ikanser asked.

"I once met him in the suburbs. He hypnotized some villagers, some villagers with evil intentions.

After I arrived, he did not attack me, but fled quickly, seemingly for some reason.

Later, when I was interrogating a suspect arrested in the suburbs at the police station, the suspect died suddenly. I suspected that the suspect knew something about him, so he silenced him.

By the way, Mr. Ikanser, the suspect is suspected to be a member of a secret organization. "

"Now that he appears here again, it means that he is a member of the Moss Ascetic Order."

Ikanser kept walking and led Horik out of the building. There were several mechanical hearts outside as backup.

He turned his head, looked at Horik, and asked:

"Just now he and that fat man suddenly disappeared, do you have any clue?"

Horik was stunned for a moment and replied:

"When I shot at him just now, those two people... seemed to disappear out of thin air, and the painting also disappeared."

"Did you hit them?" Ikanser continued.

Horik thought this was a test for himself by Ikanser. He thought for half a second and shook his head:

"In the split second before the bullet hit them, they disappeared."

Ikanser Bernard nodded and said nothing more.

After the cleanup was over and the task was assigned to the team members, he boarded the airship and flew towards Backlund.

About half a day later, Ikanser, who returned to Backlund, immediately found the archbishop, Horamick Haydn, and reported this information to him.

Time goes back to the present.

The extraordinary battle that broke out in Vinia Town ended a few days ago, but due to the fierce fighting and the fact that many extraordinary people used magical items, there are still mechanical hearts left here to clean up the scene and eliminate the remaining extraordinary elements.

After that, the true situation of this battle will be covered up by the Heart of Machinery. Except for those who witnessed it and related people, ordinary people will only think that a fire broke out here.
