The Great Library of the Imperial Capital ushered in a comprehensive review. The intensity and momentum were so severe that even several ministers and nobles in the upper city came to inquire about the situation.
They cautiously asked what Earl Phoenix was going crazy about... To put it mildly, was there another ignorant guy who made this respectable old man angry?
And after learning that five counterfeit books that had been replaced by others had been found in the precious and unique book collection room of the Imperial Capital Library, even these ministers and nobles could not calm down.
This matter can be big or small.
As a whole, from the Imperial City Guards, the Patrol Knights, the Mirror Sea Guards, and the Truth Gnosis, all of them will suffer. If Axel comes out to reprimand, all the departments responsible for the defense and intelligence work of the Imperial City will be the same.
If there is an earthquake, you may have to arrest a few people, behead them, and hang them up.
Ultimately, what this incident means is that even in an imperial capital that is so tightly guarded and protected by numerous intelligence organizations, there are still people who can unknowingly place themselves on the first level of the city that receives the most attention under heavy protection.
The treasure collections in the district were quietly stolen - so what do these intelligence organizations do? How can so many funds and so many allocations in the imperial capital be used?
As for the younger one... Count Phoenix himself may be fine. After all, he is so old and no longer has a full-time job. However, the current library director and all related personnel will probably be suspended on the spot for meritorious service, and may be assigned to
Watch the dark tide next to the dark mountains.
Because of his anger, Earl Phoenix subconsciously unleashed an ability that is jokingly called the 'Phoenix Form' by those familiar with it. This is the 'Ether True Body' power created by a fourth-level powerhouse based on his mind-light body. It can be transformed by emotions and beliefs.
Emerge and manifest.
In fact, the old count had suppressed his anger very well. This huge power was only manifested for a moment and then withdrawn, which only triggered the library's defense procedures.
However, Ian observed something strange. Just now, with Earl Phoenix as the center, the space around the old man had some distortion similar to the 'virtual realm'.
If Ian hadn't been to the virtual realm recently, he might not have noticed this small change.
This may be quite important information, maybe it is some undisclosed secret of a great noble?
Write it down first.
"...Do you understand? Everyone will report to me all the recent movements later. The lie detector psychic will be here soon. Don't expect any of you to escape!"
"Yes! Director, we understand!"
At this moment, Earl Phoenix had just put down the neck of the current curator, one of his youngest sons, whom he had choked and slapped several times with one hand.
Everyone paid no attention to the nobleman who was theoretically the real curator, and just stood there respectfully.
Although the current director, who had been beaten in the mouth seven or eight times by his father, had a mouth full of blood and a few teeth missing, his face was filled with joy - under his management, the library had lost only one book, and more.
Yiben, the moment he knew this, he doubted whether he would be exterminated by his father or strangled to death with his own hands.
Now I just slapped him in the mouth a few times, probably because there are still guests today. In this case, the old man will probably be able to calm down the fire after he returns home, and at most he will be beaten to paralysis.
The Earl of Phoenix was still angry. He was still looking at the leader of the Book-Guarding Knights on the other side with his dangerous golden-red eyes. He grabbed the great knight's neck with an extremely skillful hand and roared:
"You guys all grew up eating garbage! You can't even find this kind of thing! Five books were lost! Five books! (When the count turned back to check, he found two more books)"
In fact, there are nine books. Ian thought so, but even he didn't dare to say it. This matter let the old earl know, and it is estimated that a row of people will be hung up and turned into a barbecue in front of the library today.
"The curator... his subordinates... were wrong..."
This regiment leader is also a third-level great knight. He is well-known in the imperial capital and is a big shot. However, in the hands of Count Phoenix, who has strength, merits and status, he is almost as strong as an ant.
The armored neck protector, which was enough to withstand the bombardment of the battleship's main gun, was no different from mud when the old man grabbed it casually: "Subordinate...swear..."
The leader was pinched by the neck and could only use the source of matter to vibrate the air to make a sound, but even the source of matter seemed to be intermittent under the fluctuations of the Phoenix Earl. The smell of coke came from the body, and even half of the body's armor appeared.
It reacted with blazing hot melt and turned into molten steel dripping to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the thought that came to Ian's mind was not funny, but a very simple question.
——Does the fourth level have such power and authority... This is still in the imperial capital. If it is in its own territory, what is the difference between Earl Phoenix and a god to ordinary people?
And to be honest, even though the two people who were beaten were miserable, for the sublime, it was essentially just like a child being lightly slapped on the palm with a ruler by a parent. It can be regarded as a small punishment but a big warning.
The Ascendants are so strong. Look at the real curator over there who had four or five teeth knocked out. He rubbed his chin and all his teeth grew back.
And here, as Count Phoenix let go of his hand, the leader of the knights whose body was almost roasted did not take three seconds for his armor to cool down, and the black powder on his charred body fell off, revealing
A slender neck that has been regenerated.
No Adam's apple? She is still a female knight.
As for the molten steel that was almost vaporizing? It didn't even cause any burns to the knight's skin. This shows how terrifying the heat was when Earl Phoenix almost cooked the knight.
"It's really scary."
Ian thought so.
No matter how approachable this kind of high-level sublimated person is, if he accidentally treats ordinary people with the same attitude towards other sublimated people... I am afraid that ordinary people in a village or a small city will be instantly wiped out.
.
You can't even say that he was malicious. To him, this kind of intensity was probably about the same as swatting a mosquito casually.
They have to control their powers very, very carefully in order to live among ordinary people.
"No wonder there is an upper city area above the middle city area...sublimators of this level must live there."
Earl Phoenix was relieved at this moment. His body relaxed, and the aura that did not cause any temperature changes but gave everyone a burning sensation in their spirits and souls dissipated.
Bang! He gave himself a slap, which frightened everyone on the spot. Even the director of the punishment hall and the head of the knights were more frightened than before. The knights all knelt down and shouted in grief.
My subordinates deserve to die!', and the library staff were the same, trembling and kneeling on the spot.
——The old count can even attack himself, let alone them?
But Earl Phoenix ignored them. He turned around and threw the kneeling people where they were.
"It's funny."
After seeing Ian and a group of goblins watching the excitement with emotion, the old man with gray hair said very tiredly: "Damn it, I didn't expect the evil spirit to be hidden very deep. I tried back and forth several times, but I didn't feel any change in my mood.
.”
"Weird, even if they are not afraid of my punishment methods, basically everyone will have an abnormal emotional change when they see me beating myself, whether it is 'this old man is showing off' or 'gloating' or feeling 'embarrassed' and
'Fear' will always have some signs... I have studied emotions and souls for so many years, and I should have a fairly accurate grasp of this aspect."
"Why is there no response?" He fell into deep thought.
"Calm down." Mo Feng comforted: "It doesn't matter as long as the book is found. Since they are replacing fakes, they must need genuine ones - they may value books more than these library staff.
!”
The two parties are indeed old friends, and this is indeed the right place to comfort him. Hearing this, Earl Phoenix looked much relieved: "Yes. Indeed, but we still have to find the thief first, and then try our best to prevent him from destroying the stolen items.
Only copy."
But he still sighed deeply: "Oh, it's still my dereliction of duty..."
