Chapter 388: Investigation by the Department of Demon Hunting

Chapter 382 – Investigation of the Demon Hunting Department
The Northland Noble Alliance, as a semi-independent alliance formed by many Northland nobles, has a very strict alliance law, the first is the inviolability of private territory, which is also the cornerstone of the establishment of the Northland Noble Alliance, because the Northland nobles who joined the alliance are not likely to be impartial and hand over all of their own territories and territories to death.

In fact, in addition to a name, the members of the alliance are each in charge of their own, but common money and people to set up the alliance army, build public roads and buildings, to comply with the same rules of the game, all of these are responsible for the command of the Northland Nobles Council, but there is one thing that can never be violated, that is, the inviolability of private territories, even in the name of the alliance can not touch the alliance members of the territories of a single blade of grass and a piece of wood.

Therefore, if there is no consent from the other party, not to mention the army, belonging to Ferrier and Solari two people a bullet fell into the other party’s territory is an invasion, then not only the Alliance accountability, even the other members of the Alliance will fall into the well, the consequences are very serious, so even if the whole city destroyed in front of the two people, the two people can not do anything.

Fortunately, similar events are not the first time to happen, the alliance parliament has long established a special organization to respond, and in the parliamentary vote to obtain special emergency authority, so soon there is a special team rushed to.

“Honorable Earl Solari, I am Jonathan, a senior hunter of the Department of Hunting, in accordance with the laws of the Alliance, I now have the right to ask you some questions, please answer truthfully.” Jonathan was a very stereotypical looking middle-aged man with sharp eyes, wearing the characteristic long trench coat of a hunter, wearing a longsword and alchemy firearms, at this moment stopping in front of Solari, and said in a business-like manner.

Solari frowned, upset, after all, he is a noble count, and the other party is just a dog raised by the alliance, but according to the laws of the alliance, the other party does have this right, and look at the other party’s hand pressed on a piece of props similar to a pocket watch, it is clear that he has become the object of suspicion.

In fact, this is very normal, with similar means to pit neighbors can be said to be the ancestral craft of the nobles, in the Northland is more popular, so no matter whether Solari or Ferrier become the object of suspicion is a very normal thing.

After using magic power to start the recorder, Jonathan began to ask some questions, such as when did Solari know about this matter, and when did he arrive, and side-stepped the question of whether this matter was related to him.

Solari more than seventy, what scenes have not seen, answer watertight, even if Jonathan wants to find trouble, can not find the slightest crack, not to mention that as Solari thought in his heart, both sides of the identity gap is too big, just stop the other side of the routine questioning has been very offensive, and then use some means, I am afraid of the other side will be directly turn the other cheek, at that time, even if the Department of hunting can not protect him.

When Solari left with a stern face, Jonathan immediately played back the recorder, trying to find something.

“Head, you’ve got a lot of guts, that’s Earl Solari, one of the twelve Earls of the Alliance, just now I was too scared to speak.” Only after Solari left did one of Jonathan’s team members say like he was relieved.

“Counts can’t violate the Alliance laws either.” Jonathan said with an expressionless face, one look showed that this person was usually not good to contact, but his team members had long been accustomed to it.

“Head, well then, did Count Solari lie?” The team member asked curiously, as this next concerned the direction of their actions.

The recorder in Jonathan’s hand is a high-grade goods, not only the resolution can reach the level of hair, but also has the function of recognizing and lie detection, only this matter is only part of the Union’s top management and the personnel of the Department of Hunting and Demonology know, after all, the lie is the face of the aristocrats, no one likes to be unmasked to reveal the ugly side.

“He didn’t lie.” Jonathan put away the recorder, his expression became more and more serious, because this was not good news, he would rather this matter was done by Solari, so that things would be simpler instead.

As a senior member of the Department of Hunting, Jonathan had dealt with many similar incidents, some of which were nipped in the bud without breaking out, but some of which had grown to an unmanageable level, such as the wailing city in front of him.

Either way, the cause was very important, so that lessons could be learned for preparedness, and so that there was a more accurate way of thinking to solve it, or else one would have to spend their lives searching for clues. Obviously the situation they were facing in front of them was very bad, the situation inside the city was starting to get out of control, those inside couldn’t run out, and those outside were having a hard time getting in, and most importantly they didn’t know what the cause was, or how far it had progressed inside.

In fact, purely from the rational aspect, Jonathan knew that the best thing to do now was to use the army to attack the city, a war would not solve the problem, but it would be enough to break the advantage that the other side was occupying, so that the chaotic situation would become clear.

Unfortunately, no, the laws of the Alliance allowed them to only rigidly enforce the procedures, because without enough clues there was no way to convince the members of the council, nor the members of the Alliance, especially when it required the use of the army to attack the city of a member of the Alliance.

Asking for information was just routine, most of the time they wouldn’t get valid clues, next they would need to venture into the city to look for clues and use death to prove that they were looking for the right one, and in the end the ones who made it back alive would report it, and it would be up to the Alliance Council to decide whether or not to enforce it.

Jonathan had seen too many people die as a result of this, so many that he had become numb to it, so he didn’t explain anything, instead he led his men, who had obviously not been in the business for long, through the dark tunnel into the city that was in the process of being shrouded in death.

The Huntress Department had secretly built secret tunnels in many cities for what purpose, those who understood understood, and thus could use them but could not expose them, much less admit them.

Drilling out of a drain, Jonathan immediately pulled out his tester, the needle on it quickly traced from the white area through the gray area, eventually pointing to the black area, and was still approaching the red area.

Jonathan was not the only one who saw this scene, several other team members also saw it, and simultaneously revealed a look of fear and panic.

After the systematic training of the Department of Hunting and Demonry, they know very well what this means, according to the division of the Department of Hunting and Demonry, the white area is safe and can move freely, the gray area is mildly contaminated and needs to be vigilant, and the black area is heavily contaminated, and even if there are high-ranking members to lead the team, the death rate is also high, as for the red area represents the abyss, and it is no longer about solving the problem but about how to run for their lives.

Obviously the severity of the city’s problems had exceeded their previous expectations and was slipping towards the abyss.

“Captain, according to the rules of the Demon Hunting Department, we can now choose to withdraw and call for support from the alliance army.” A team member whispered to Jonathan with the secret support of a few teammates.

“Continue with the exploration mission.” Jonathan said without changing his face.

Several other team members were reluctant, but as the captain, Jonathan still had the supreme command without orders from higher-ups or takeover, if they dared to disobey orders, the end would not be good, so they could only take out their weapons and get ready for action, only that in their hearts, they had already ravaged this captain, who didn’t take their little lives seriously, hundreds of times.
