"There is something unusual about this earthquake? Miss Lindy, what does this mean?"
Ivy and Ai Xi both asked in surprise.
"There are many abnormalities in this earthquake. It is suspected that it did not occur naturally."
Lindy said.
"It's not a natural phenomenon. This, how is this possible?!"
Ai Xi's eyes were filled with shock, almost as if she had heard wrongly.
Earthquakes that killed hundreds of thousands or even millions of people were not naturally occurring.
"Even if it is extraordinary, it cannot cause such a large-scale shock. Could it be a mistake?"
Felin asked in surprise.
Although Chaofan possesses great strength, he is still just a human being after all, not an existence like an evil god.
To trigger such a strong earthquake and cause such huge damage, based on his understanding, it was impossible for the extraordinary to do it.
Even if the three secret arts are extraordinary, they should not be able to do it.
If it is an evil god, it is possible, but evil gods cannot come to this world, and even if they just extend their power into this world, there will be many restrictions.
Under these many restrictions, it is impossible for the evil god to cause such huge destructive power.
"This is what I can't figure out at the moment. However, judging from the information obtained, there are indeed many abnormalities in this earthquake."
Lindy frowned and said.
Buzz!
At this moment, Felin and Lindy were all shaken.
The two took out the elder's crest, checked it, and immediately stood up.
After finding an empty lounge, the two of them connected, and their bodies appeared in a conference room in the form of a projection.
In the conference room, other people's projections appeared one after another.
Finally, six projections appeared in the conference room, which were the six elders of the Security Bureau.
"You should all be aware of the news of a strong earthquake in the southeastern part of the kingdom, right?"
Suleiman looked at everyone and asked.
"I've received it. I really didn't expect such a disaster to happen. It's a pity that it happened at night. If it could have happened during the day, the casualties should be smaller."
Nadja Harlowen sighed and said.
"After all, it is a natural disaster and no one could have predicted it."
Jalvi Lopez also sighed.
"What happened this time was not a natural disaster."
Suleiman glanced at the two of them and said in a serious voice.
"Isn't it a natural disaster?"
Upon hearing the news, in addition to Felin and Lindy, who had already known about it, Nadja Harlowen, Jalvi Lopez and even Alonso Deco all had a look of astonishment on their faces.
Such an earthquake, which affected more than a dozen cities and caused hundreds of thousands or even millions of casualties, was not a natural disaster.
How can this be?
Such destructive power and scope of destruction are simply beyond what humans can accomplish.
"Yes, it's not a natural disaster."
Suleiman nodded affirmatively and then said.
"Most earthquakes have warning signs, but this time, there were no warning signs."
"If this is the case, I am afraid it cannot be concluded that this earthquake was not natural."
Nadja Harlowen frowned slightly.
"If this is the case, it is indeed not certain that this earthquake was not natural."
Suleiman nodded and then said.
"The reason why I think this earthquake was not natural is because there were many high-circle mystics in nearby cities close to the center of the earthquake who sensed strong fluctuations in extraordinary power when the earthquake occurred."
"Did you feel strong fluctuations of extraordinary power when the earthquake occurred?"
Felin's expression changed slightly.
It is impossible for a normal earthquake to cause extraordinary power fluctuations.
This earthquake actually showed extraordinary power fluctuations. From this point of view, there are indeed signs of unnaturalness.
"It is certain that there were unnatural signs in this earthquake, but it is not certain whether it was man-made."
Suleiman said.
"We must conduct a thorough investigation to find out what exactly caused this earthquake."
"If it is man-made, then this force must pay its due price."
Nadja Harlowen said with cold eyes.
"This is also the purpose of why I initiated this meeting."
Suleiman glanced at everyone present and said.
"It's okay if this is not man-made. If it is man-made, then the forces that caused this earthquake will definitely not be simple. It is best to have Chaofan participate in this investigation."
"Hey, interesting, I accepted this mission."
Alonso Deco said with great interest.
He became extremely interested in "things" that could cause earthquakes.
"The mission you are currently performing to hunt down that strange creature in the sea has not yet been completed. This mission cannot be left to you."
Suleiman shook his head and refused.
Some time ago, a very powerful monster with almost extraordinary strength appeared in the waters near the Kingdom of Heidelberg. Many ships were destroyed due to encountering this monster.
The Security Bureau dispatched Alonso Deco to be responsible for the search and hunting of this strange creature in the sea.
"I am in Kangston City now, so I will participate in this investigation."
Lindy said.
Seeing that Suleiman objected to Alonso Deco taking this task, Lindy chose to apply for this task.
"Count me in."
Flynn said.
Now his first task is to obtain enough mysterious points to fuse the mysterious silver mirror with the Eye of Appraisal and the mysterious spear.
Since this earthquake involves mystery, it is possible to obtain mystery points. He has always been interested in tasks that can obtain mystery points.
"Well, then, you two will participate in this investigation."
Seeing that Lindy and Felin took the initiative to apply to participate in the investigation, Suleiman chose to agree.
When applying for Alonso Deco, you need to carefully consider whether Alonso Deco is competent and whether it will cause unnecessary disturbances.
Felin and Lindy don't need to worry about this. They are both measured people and don't need to worry about causing unnecessary disturbances.
…
Three carriages were driving on the dirt road in the wild. In one of the carriages, there were four people, Felin, Lindy, Ivy, and Ai Xi.
After deciding to participate in the earthquake investigation, Felin and Lindy recruited manpower from nearby Conston City, recruiting a total of ten people including Ivy and Essie.
The place they were going to at this time was a city called Waddell City that was relatively close to the earthquake center.
They plan to search for the center of the earthquake after arriving in Waddell City, find the center of the earthquake, and see if there are any traces left in the center of the earthquake.
The reason why I didn't take the steam train was because the earthquake had disrupted the railway line.
Although repairs are currently underway, it will take at least several days before it can be opened to traffic again.
"You two should be not far from the Nine Rings, right?"
Lindy looked at Ivy and Essie and asked.
"It should be soon."
Ivy and Ai Xi both nodded.
It has been quite a while since the two of them became the eighth ring, and they have already vaguely felt the threshold of the ninth ring.
"After becoming Gao Huan, where do you two plan to transfer to work?"
Lindy asked.
Today, the City of Constantinople has Dorje as the chief and Sheryl McGaro as the deputy. The staffing is complete and it is no longer possible to insert another chief.
Therefore, after the two become high-level officials, they will inevitably be transferred to other cities.
"I haven't considered this yet. Besides, neither of us has a say in the transfer."
Ivy and Ai Xi looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Since you haven't thought about it well, what about coming to the Royal Capital? Compared with other cities, the conditions in the Royal Capital are undoubtedly much better."
"The most important thing is that the royal capital allows multiple deputy bureaus to exist, and the two of you can serve in the royal capital together."
Lindy suggested.
"If possible, it would be a good choice."
Ivy and Essie said.
The relationship between the two of them is quite good. It would be best if they could still work together after becoming high-ranking officials.
"Then it's settled. After you become a high-level official, I will transfer you to the royal capital."
Lindy said.
Ivy and Ai Xi do not have a say in the transfer, but as an extraordinary elder, she naturally does.
She was familiar with the two of them, so she naturally wanted to help them within the limits allowed by the rules.
After a day of traveling, Felin and others arrived at Waddell City.
After a short rest, the next day, Felin and Lindy recruited some occultists from the Waddell City Security Bureau and began to search for the center of the earthquake.
A few days later, in a temporary tent.
Everyone else went out to search for the earthquake center, leaving Felin and Lindy alone in the tent.
"Could this earthquake be caused by some type of ruins left in the past?"
Felin expressed his guess.
Relics handed down from the past, especially those handed down from the Empire of Night period, some of them contain defensive rituals and attack rituals that are now lost.
For example, in the tomb chamber discovered during the Empire of Night, there were defense rituals that had been lost.
If the defensive ritual had not existed for too long and lacked maintenance over the years, Lindy, who only had high-level strength at that time, might not have been able to break the defensive ritual, enter the deepest part of the tomb, and obtain the Chess of the Night.
"possible."
Lindy thought for a while and said.
The period of the Empire of Night can be said to be the peak period of the occult arts. According to historical records, during that period, there were even many extraordinary coexistences of the two occult arts.
One can imagine how powerful the Empire of Night was during that period.
It is not impossible that the relics left over from the Empire of Night period caused this strong earthquake and triggered this disaster.
"Great Elder Suokes, Great Elder Harlowen, the center of the earthquake has been found!"
A man quickly entered the tent and reported to Felin and Lindy.
This is a man wearing a gray coat and gold-rimmed glasses. It was Kafei Colon who obtained the qualification to become an occultist under Felin's guidance and joined the Security Bureau.
"found it?!"
Felin and Lindy looked at each other and stood up.
It took several days to finally find the center of the earthquake. What caused this earthquake? The answer should be revealed soon.
