Chapter 340 338: Case of Robbery of a Girl (Subscription Request)

The magic carriage belonging to Douglas Hill finally left the west gate. The gatekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the city gate to be closed.

At this time, in the carriage, Luo Yi briefly described the specific situation.

Douglas's expression froze after hearing this, and he couldn't help but ask, "So, Gary Mills actually knew this day would come, and he arranged for you to protect Mrs. Linda?"

After a pause, he continued, "I'm not saying this, but he's asking for trouble. Why bother with those scumbags?"

Luo Yi slowly shook his head: "Everyone has secrets, everyone has a past, how can you just give it up?!
Some things, no matter how dangerous they are, have to be done.

What I have to do now is to take Mrs. Linda back to the Flower Market and keep her safe."

“Gary has already left, are they really going to come look for Mrs. Linda?
Besides, this is the Habsburg Empire, and Madam Linda is no unknown person, are they really that bold?"

"I don't know! I'd like to believe they don't have the guts to do that, but I can't bet on it."

"So what are you going to do now?"

"Find Mrs. Linda, convince her, and take her away. It's that simple."

"it is good!"

After a few words, the matter was finalized. Luo Yi couldn't help but lift the car window curtain and look out through the glass.

As far as the eye can see, there are quite a few pedestrians on the street. They are in groups of three or five, laughing and joking as they head to some bar or dance hall.

In the distance, there was music playing. Luo Yi's keen hearing could distinguish that the music was melodious, cheerful, pleasant, and soothing...

Along with the sounds were footsteps, tapping, laughter, and noise.

"Auckland now seems very different from when I left, right?"

Douglas Hill also leaned over and answered with a smile: "It's not different, it's very different!"

"I didn't expect that with more magic power factories, many people will have money. In addition to improving their family life, what they love most is this nightlife."

"Those bars are not so popular now. Drinking alone is boring. But there are more and more dance halls."

"A dance hall, can they still afford a band?"

“They can’t afford it, but now there is a new kind of magical machine called a phonograph.

As the name suggests, it can record sounds. It was created by some mechanical wizards in the southern magic world through analyzing "phonograph".

It can be driven by the Moonstone Magic Crystal. By putting a certain record into the phonograph, the reserved music can be played."

"You don't know, this kind of phonograph is very popular, it's sold like hot cakes in the Habsburg Empire. Although it's not as good as a live band performance, the cost is low enough when spread out!"

Douglas couldn't help but complain to Roy: "Speaking of which, why didn't you think of such a good idea?"

Luo Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Douglas, just be a decent person. If we really take all the benefits, believe it or not, the Roy Fitz Magic Energy Group will fall apart in an instant.

Even at this scale, I think it’s a bit excessive!”

“Everyone else thought that it was only with our support that Miller could implement the railway construction plan so smoothly in the empire.

But from another perspective, if Miller, a senior official of the Empire, was not there, the Roy Fitz Group would not have developed so smoothly. "

As he said this, Roy glanced at Douglas and asked, "Also, do you really think you are not busy enough? Have you completed the improvement of the magic walkie-talkie?"

Douglas smiled awkwardly, immediately took over the topic, and said, "Speaking of the magic walkie-talkie, Luo Yi, the problem I'm facing now is..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Luo Yi interrupted quickly: "Let's put the matter of magic machinery aside for now. After I meet Madam Linda, I will have plenty of time to go to your magic laboratory.

We will discuss it in detail when the time comes!"

Douglas said reluctantly: "Then I'll wait for you in the lab. If you don't come, I'll break up with you."

"Hahaha, it's not that serious. I will definitely help you solve the problem."

This time it was Luo Yi's turn to change the subject. He pointed out the window at a group of patrolmen who had just finished their patrol and asked, "Are all the police officers in Oakland so diligent nowadays?"

“I have seen five waves of police patrols along the way, and there should be people on the high buildings observing the surroundings.

This law and order is good!"

Douglas's expression froze, but he slowly stopped smiling. He said, "The police department is not as diligent as you think. It's just that there have been frequent incidents of girls being robbed in the city recently, so they have to be impatient."

"About robbing a young girl?"

Luo Yi looked back in confusion and asked, "What's going on?"

"About half a month ago, girls started to disappear in the city without any reason. Most of them were unmarried girls aged 15 or 16. Some were from working-class families, some were daughters of businessmen, some were factory workers, and some were college students...

In a short period of time, hundreds of people were found dead and no one was found, which caused great panic.

The families of the girls also complained to the governor, which put the police department under great pressure before making various arrangements. "

Luo Yi frowned slightly, his face looked unhappy: "Looking at the situation, the person has not been caught yet! But, after the City Guards were reorganized into the Police Department, are they so useless?" Douglas shook his head: "That can't be said. After the establishment of the Police Department, the public security in Oakland City has improved a lot.

Although gangs and vendettas have not been completely resolved, they are no longer as reckless as before.

As for this incident, I'm afraid there was a real strong man involved, at least a third-order extraordinary level. I just don't know what he wants to do by kidnapping so many girls?"

Oliveira suddenly spoke, his voice as cold as iron: "It's definitely not a good thing!"

Douglas nodded slowly: "Bloody sacrifices, dark sacrifices, evil god rituals, or drinking blood to resurrect, these are just things that are not allowed to be seen in the light.

However, no matter which one it is, these girls are probably in great danger."

Luo Yi shook his head slowly: "The Executive Office's response was a little slow."

Douglas said a fair word: "Not all people are Baron Miller, with his prestige and means.

Now this consul, a relative of Baron Miller, is said to have been coordinating with the church, the academy, and the military to prepare for a thorough investigation.

But these parties are all big guys, so it’s not easy to reach a cooperation, so it will take some time.”

Luo Yi just listened to these, he just hoped that these had nothing to do with what he was going to do.

It’s a pity that although his idea was good, the reality was always full of drama.

……

at this time,

Inside the Philante School of Magic.

It was already midnight and the academy had fallen silent.

Only the dormitory building and the large library were still brightly lit and quite lively, but other places were deserted.

However, there are many wild mandarin ducks in the grove of the college, rustling around, which is very tempting.

A figure was shrouded in darkness, without any breath leaking out, like a dead object like trees and soil.

However, a pair of scarlet eyes blinked as they looked at the two people who were being affectionate not far away, filled with murderous intent.

But in the end he did not disturb the pair of wild mandarin ducks. Instead, when the wind blew through the woods, making a rustling sound, his shadow twisted and disappeared on the spot.

The darkness enveloped the earth, and naturally, it became easier to hide. Before he knew it, he had arrived under the Ancient Spirit Wizard's Tower.

He did not choose to go through the main entrance, but found a shady place. His body flashed, and hidden magic power burst out, turning into a bat flapping its wings and flying away.

He was extremely fast and stealthy, and in the dark, he was inconspicuous.

Circling around the Mage Tower, he finally found the sixth floor, where there was a window with a small gap open.

Through the gap, he also saw a plump and slender figure sitting there in a daze.

This made him feel extremely lucky, but he did not pounce directly on it. Instead, he flew around the Mage Tower again and again.

At a level imperceptible to ordinary people, waves of magical power that are so obscure that they are almost undetectable are spreading outward.

Circle after circle, wave after wave, he tried repeatedly, and the detection and monitoring magic circle of the mage tower was being analyzed and familiarized by him bit by bit.

Finally, it was the magic power that was fine-tuned, vibrated, and changed, until it was accepted by the detection magic circle, and then he tentatively flew closer.

There were slight fluctuations of magical power that swept across him, but in the end it did not cause any major waves.

Then, the bat suddenly accelerated, rushed into the range of the wizard tower, broke in through the open window, and appeared in front of Mrs. Linda.

Madam Linda was a little dazed, but she was a peak-level second-level magician after all, so she still had some strength.

Almost instinctively, she raised her hand and clenched it, and a magic wand appeared, with streams of magic power bursting out like wildfire.

This method, rather than casting a spell, is more of an attempt to cause elemental resonance in the Mage Tower, thereby alerting others.

It’s a pity that no matter how fast she is, she can’t compare to that vampire man.

The blood-red magic power spread out, as if forming a circle, directly enveloping all fluctuations.

Then, blood-red ropes began to climb up along Madam Linda's legs and feet. Wherever the ropes passed, Madam Linda felt that her magic power was blocked, her body became stiff, and she couldn't even move.

In fact, because of the excessive movement, she lost her balance and was about to fall down.

The vampire man flashed and came close, holding Mrs. Linda in his arms.

Feeling the warmth and softness of a mature woman, his expression was somewhat smug: "This Mage Tower sounds like a den of dragons and tigers, but it's actually just like that. I can't come and go as I please."

Then he lowered his head slightly and looked at Mrs. Linda, with a coquettish smile on his face that became even bigger: "You are Gary Mills' wife, right?
It's as ripe as a peach, haha, although you're not a virgin, but when the effect is gone, I can give you a first hug."

Mrs. Linda was so ashamed and angry that she couldn't say a word.

It was also at this time that Roy and Oliveira, led by Douglas Hill, arrived at the door of Mrs. Linda's laboratory on the sixth floor of the Mage Tower without any obstruction.
