The Academy District is the smallest urban area in Dover. Correspondingly, the size of the Public Security Bureau here is not large. The total number of patrol mages is sixty-three, of which every ten people are in a team and there is a magistrate leader. ¡ò, ? ? ? ? ? Teenagers aged sixteen or seventeen are the most energetic, so there are always a lot of fights in the college area. However, the Public Security Department does not have the energy to file cases one by one unless serious casualties are really caused. Zanava took a general glance. Although the victim had a bruised nose and face, it was just a skin injury. Normally, a few words of mediation and some compensation for medical expenses would be enough. But now, he has to treat it with caution, because this person has a prominent family background. His father is the chief officer of the city lord's palace, and his grandfather is the famous Seven-ring Master in Dover City. He has a high position and can be called a "mage aristocrat". Zanava thought for a moment, then summoned a subordinate who practiced life magic and cast a healing spell on Master Aubrey. Then he comforted him with kind words and promised that he would punish the culprit severely. "How are you going to punish him?" Aubrey sat on the wooden chair and looked at Allegri fiercely. "According to the Mirror Tower Decree, he should be whipped," Zanava said matter-of-factly. "In addition, he will compensate you for all your losses." "So, what about Ranaya? She also attacked me, "Aubrey still persisted and tried to involve the girl, "Don't you have arcane sentries in the Public Security Department? You can collect evidence from there." "Due to lack of funds, arcane sentries only patrol at night. I hope you can understand. "," Zanava said warmly, "If you find evidence or witnesses, you can report it to the Sheriff's Department at any time, and we will handle it carefully." "Forget it, let her go for now," Aubrey waved his hand. , said impatiently, "But this guy must be punished severely." "Of course. I will torture myself," Zanava asked, "Do you want to watch?" Aubrey was obviously a little moved, but looking at Take a look at the time. Still regretting, he said, "No, I still have something to do." "Then I will send you the processing results and the conviction document via owl later." Zanava said thoughtfully, "There are also compensation fees. Three days later, you You can pick it up yourself or send someone to pick it up. " "You are quite good at doing things," Aubrey nodded and praised, "If I have the chance, I will recommend you to my father." "Thank you very much" Zanava stood up to see him off. , and at the same time secretly smiled bitterly, if he really knew how to do things. How could he have survived until now and still be just a mage chief. ? ****** ? If faced with others, Allegri might still cheat, but after recognizing Zanava, he immediately confessed and apologized when it was time, just like a good baby. As for whether the other party recognized him, he was not sure when he first entered the city of Dover. He looked like a down-and-out beggar. The wooden door of the office creaked. After sending Aubrey away, Zanava closed the door and walked to Allegri. He glanced up and down. As soon as Allegri caught his eye, he knew he had been recognized. Zanava did not reprimand him, but sighed with some disappointment, and said lightly, "You have made great progress. How dare you attack a mage student in the street?" "Sir, listen to me" Allegri was stunned. , argued anxiously. He told the whole story exactly what happened, even what Beverly asked for, and he didn't hide anything. The middle-aged mage's expression gradually softened. Although he had just been transferred to the academy area not long ago, he had also heard about Aubrey's deeds. This young master has always been the only one who bullies others. How could a poor student like Ranaya avoid him for fear of taking the initiative to provoke him? "Sit down," Zanava waved his hand, sat behind the desk, and asked casually, "By the way, you just said, where do you work?" "I work as a coolie on the dock, carrying bags and unloading goods. ," Allegri sat down and asked with a smile, "My lord, have you been promoted?" But he heard that the other party's self-introduction changed from "Street Patrol Mage" to "Chief Mage". "So be it." Zanava also smiled, but there was not much joy on his face. "Hey, sir, this is for you." Allegri remembered something, took out his money bag from his arms, counted five silver coins, and put them on the table. "What, you want to bribe me?" Zanava picked up the quill and wrote quickly on the paper. "It's to pay back the money." Allegri scratched his head and explained. "You'd better pay the fee first." Zanava put away the pen and placed the white paper in front of him. Allegri reached out and picked it up, only to see it read, "Treatment cost, one coin."? coins; official expenses, fifty-four copper coins; compensation for clothing, three silver coins" Lin Lin said, the final total cost was exactly five silver coins. "Didn't that boy say that his mage robe was cut by some lady? , do you want ten gold coins? Allegri asked in surprise. "You pay as much as you are asked to pay," Zanava replied calmly, "The value of the property lost in the case was assessed by our Public Security Department." " Allegri was moved in his heart, but didn't say anything else. Obviously knowing that he couldn't get ten gold coins, Zanava took the initiative to withstand the pressure. But even if he has the identity of the mage leader, I'm afraid he will be criticized for this. " You should have time to escape before I arrive at the scene, right? "The middle-aged mage put away the silver coins and asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Why don't you run away? " "If no one takes the blame, what will Ranaya do? That kid will definitely not give up," Allegri said frankly, "Besides, I didn't know at the time that it was you, sir. " "Fortunately you didn't run away. "Zanava said this. Most people don't know that although the Arcane Sentinels of the Public Security Department are out of service during the day due to lack of funds, there are still additional arrangements at the entrance of the college. If Allegri hadn't stayed If he continued to investigate, Ranaya would be in trouble. He didn¡¯t say anything, and Allegri didn¡¯t ask. After a while, the middle-aged mage who had sorted out the paperwork stood up and waved at the same time, ¡°Follow me. . "After a series of complicated processes, we went through the three floors of the Public Security Bureau, and finally entered the final stage of punishment. The gloomy execution room only had a narrow window. Zanava closed the iron door and ordered, "Take off Take off your shirt. " "How many blows are needed? "Allegri grabbed the iron ring with both hands and exposed his back, feeling an inexplicable sense of shame. The middle-aged mage laughed silently. There were four long whips on the iron frame, and he took off the one with the blue and white marks. "Winging ?misdemeanor. "Zanava's voice sounded, not talking to him, but the whip covered with magic patterns. A faint light flashed. The whip swung by itself and crackled. But Allegri did not feel much pain. , but there was a numbing electric shock. After thirty blows, several naked blood marks appeared on his back, and the whip automatically retracted to the iron frame, and Zanava spread out the paper and cast a "magic signature." ", declaring the case to be over. ****** Allegri was not injured when he walked out of the Academy District Sheriff's Department. He didn't know yet that there were four kinds of whips on the iron frame of the execution room, and Zanava chose the one with the least lethality and powered by electric magic energy. To his surprise, Beverly and Lanaya were waiting not far from the door to see him come out safely. There was an incredible look in his eyes. ¡°Are you okay? "Beverly looked him up and down. For his crime, even a whip would be a light punishment. "No," Allegri waved his hand and turned to warn Lanaya, "That kid's conspiracy did not succeed. , you will definitely hold a grudge in your heart. From now on, you should be more careful in your behavior in the academy. " "I know. But he can't go too far, otherwise he wouldn't use such a dirty trick," Lanaya hesitated for a moment and then said. "Also, thank you, Mr. Egg. " "We are just civilians, but the Master is a third-class citizen. If he commits a crime below, isn't it a felony? "Beverly is still struggling with this issue. "Aubrey is not underage. Don't treat it this way. "Zanava, who was leading the horse, explained casually and passed by. Before getting off work, he had to make one last inspection. "Thank you, sir. "Allegri shouted at his back, and a very faint smile appeared on the middle-aged mage's serious face. **** ****** As dusk fell, Allegri and Beverly took a ride The last public carriage rushed back to the dock area. As she said, Baicheng District was brightly lit. It must have used electric energy to replace the magic array, so it showed a unique blue and white luster. The carriage was moving, and there were more and more people in the carriage. Young Master, Allegri turned his head accidentally and saw a tall silver tower in the northern sky, emitting a scorching light. The white light was similar to the Holy White Tower, but it was different, like a mirror made of true silver. It¡¯s extremely bright, even a little dazzling. ¡°That¡¯s the Mirror Tower the tallest magic tower in Dover City, and it¡¯s controlled by the Lord himself. "Beverly came over and explained his doubts. "Looking at the momentum, it should be an eight-story tower." Allegri thought for a moment and said puzzledly, "I have seen this mirror tower before, but There is no such light. " "That depends on Mrs. Desires's mood. She is a seven-ringed mage who has her own mysterious ways of doing things.How can we measure it? "An old man next to him interjected. "Mrs. Desires? Allegri asked, "Is this our mage lord of Dover?" " "Of course, she is a student of Mr. Keltzman and has profound attainments in astrology. "The white-haired old man seemed to be an enchantment craftsman. When he mentioned "Kertzmann", he raised his hand on his chest and muttered with respect, "The great arcane hand." " Allegri chatted with him for a while, and not long after, the old man also got off the car at a street corner, and they were the only two left in the car. As he closed his eyes to relax, Beverly beside him suddenly said softly , ¡°Thank you for what happened today. "It doesn't matter," Allegri opened his eyes, "I'm just curious, since your sister is a genius girl, why is she so embarrassed?" " "It's not because of her crazy teacher," Beverly sighed, "When my sister was nine years old, a vice president of Evans College took a fancy to her talent and wanted to recruit Ranaya. As an apprentice My father died long ago, leaving only my mother struggling to support the family. When she heard the news, she was naturally overjoyed We also lived a good life. " Allegri listened quietly. "But five years ago, the Archmage suddenly went crazy and publicly declared that the end of the world was coming and the entire world would be destroyed," Beverly continued, "He not only wrote in the Journal of Mages He published an article on the Internet and went to Sindvall City to give a speech. Later, he even bewitched a group of mages and called on everyone to go to the mainland to kill the Son of Doom first. " "The son of misfortune? "Allegri didn't know that there was such a person on the mainland. "It's the person who brought misfortune to this world," Beverly curled her lips, obviously disapproving of this, "He refused to change despite repeated admonitions, and finally angered Jiuhuan. The Council was first deprived of the title of "Sage", and later lost the position of Vice President and was placed under house arrest without any source of income. Ranaya and our family were also subjected to a lot of difficulties My mother, It was during that period that he became seriously ill and died. " "But what about you? Why did you embark on this path? "Allegri asked in a low voice. He has wanted to ask this question for a long time. "Because I am willing to let myself down," Beverly said with a self-deprecating smile, "After my sister became the apprentice of the Archmage, she spent every month I can get back ten gold coins, but I am too lazy to work. I have never learned any skills, and I don¡¯t have much strength How will I support myself after something happens to him? " "There is always some work that can be done. "For some reason, Allegri thought of himself. This was not the case when he first arrived in Dover. "Do you think that a helpless girl who goes to work in a workshop will not be bullied? ? Beverly asked back, "Besides, I not only have to support myself, but I also want to earn as much as possible for Lanaya to learn magic She is my only hope." " Allegri sighed secretly, not knowing what to say. " How much did you pay for going to the Public Security Bureau today? Beverly dug into her waist and then remembered that she had given the purse to her sister. She leaned on the chair cushion and promised, "I don't have it today. I will return it to you in two days." " "No need, it didn't cost much. Allegri shook his head. For these few silver coins, Beverly would have to do a few more businesses. "Are you sympathizing with me?" Beverly glanced at him and asked sensitively, "Still feel dirty?" " "You misunderstood," Allegri quickly remedied, "I mean not for now, wait until you have some spare money. Anyway, my reward is daily, as long as you work, you won't be hungry. " The carriage slowly stopped, and Allegri smelled the familiar smell of the sea again. They walked out of the carriage and saw the mirror tower shining, the sea and sky reflecting, the stars dotted, and the waves like scales.?????¡ (To be continued.)
