Separate all the current personnel of Chaldea and lock them in different rooms separately, waiting for subsequent interrogation - a very common method, but how to say it...
For the sake of everyone's safety, perhaps we can only accept such behavior now.
At least being treated as a criminal for a period of time is a better result than being directly arrested as a criminal.
According to the tone of a magician, this Goldruff Mujik has actually behaved... very friendly, at least the flaws in his behavior can be seen by others.
You know, normal magicians basically treat ordinary people working in magic institutions as slaves.
Although downward comparison is not a good behavior, judging from the current situation, it is quite enough to provide some psychological comfort...
"The Magic Association sent a very troublesome person..."
Da Vinci comforted Lawrence with gestures, sighed, and then raised his head again.
"Thank you for your extremely gentlemanly treatment, new director Goldruff, but before being quarantined, may I ask you one more question?"
"Huh? Just ask."
Goldruff didn't think there was anything wrong with answering a question, and said with a smile while stroking his mustache.
It seems that his "majestic" answer shocked the people of Old Chaldea. He is in a good mood now, and he doesn't look like he was sweating profusely when he was retorted by Da Vinci before.
"The question I want to know is very simple, that is, why do you want to buy Chaldea?"
"As far as I know, judging from the outside world, there is not much oil and water in Chaldea."
As he said that, Da Vinci glanced at the secretary Goyanskaya in pink clothes who was standing next to Goldruf.
She found that this woman named Goyanskaya was also looking at her, and her eyes were... full of aggression?
"Whether there is money to be made or not, I am the one to judge."
Goldruff looked noncommittal.
"Indeed, the Clock Tower has a very average opinion of Chaldea."
"Remarks such as 'unbelievable magic theory', 'incompetent fraud gang', and 'the disgrace of the 12 monarchs' can be said to be flying all over the place, and most people will avoid talking about this place."
"but--"
The conversation changed.
"I think there is tremendous value in Chaldea! Chaldea is a great organization!"
"But all of this can only be realized after I officially become the director."
With his hands behind his back, he walked towards Leonardo da Vinci and reached a relatively dangerous distance.
"You know, Caster, Chaldea was originally going to be divided into seven parts and sold separately, but I invested almost all the private property of our Mujik family to prevent the possibility of Chaldea being divided."
"I hate the clock tower."
"I hate those people at the Clock Tower."
Goldruff looked into Da Vinci's eyes and said these two sentences very seriously.
Da Vinci, including the three people behind Da Vinci, all showed somewhat surprised expressions.
"In order to get the technology they want from Chaldea, those people have almost fought for their brains. It's really ugly."
"A complete organization is like a complete human body. But one person said they wanted an arm, another said they wanted a heart, and someone else wanted a brain - this kind of thing, no matter how outrageous it is, must be done in a certain way, right?"
"What I want is a complete Chaldea - and now, my goal has been achieved."
"But I still need to replace the blood staff. This is a necessary process."
"So - it's almost time to start taking action, Director Goldruff Mujik."
Before the new director finished speaking, a steady voice came from outside the door of the control room.
Two men walked in side by side.
"One is the [advancer] and the other is the [leaver]. I don't think there will be any common topics between you. And if the relationship is really close, there will be a lot of trouble."
The calm male voice continued.
"My soldiers and review team are also well prepared. As long as you give the order, arrests can begin immediately."
Another man also spoke up.
"You are indeed right, Major General Hyde, Father Kotomine."
Facing the words of the two people, Goldruff walked back - walked to the side of the two people and turned around.
"Then, let me introduce them, they——"
"I don't actually want to say hello to you, but since it is Mujik's intention... Hello, I am Rear Admiral Jefferson Hyde of the Royal Navy. According to the orders of the United Nations and the Magic Association, I am assisting Goldruff.
·Mujik took over everything in Chaldea, and I will stay here until the transfer of power is completed."
The blond European man took off his sunglasses and said expressionlessly.
"This is the first time we meet, everyone. My name is Kotomine Kirei. I am a priest sent by the Holy Church to serve as a consultant to the review team. Before the investigation is completed, I will also stay in Chaldea. Please give me your advice. I have made it happen.
Dear Chaldeans of humanity, although our time together will not be too long, I still hope that I can share the joys and sorrows with you in this short period of time."
The black-haired Asian man bowed slightly to Leonardo da Vinci and others, with a smile on his face.
Lawrence looked at Jefferson Hyde, who was standing on the left side of Goldruff, and then at Kotomine Kirei, who was standing on the right side of Goldruff, and felt... his heartbeat seemed to stop.
Two beats.
Jefferson Hyde…
Kotomine Kirei......
And that strange secretary Goyanskaya...
What on earth is wrong?
Lawrence only felt that her brain seemed to detect something creepy, but she couldn't figure out exactly why.
"Go and do as Director Goldruff orders."
Rear Admiral of the British Royal Navy named Jefferson Hyde waved his hand.
The soldiers from the Inquisition Committee immediately swarmed up, arrested Leonardo da Vinci and others who had given up resistance, and escorted them to a solitary room that was used as a prison cell.
Lawrence was grabbed by the arms by two soldiers. She shook her body and broke away from the soldiers' oppression.
"I'll go by myself."
Lawrence said and walked forward by himself.
When she passed by Jefferson Hyde, she glanced at this strange man, but found that he was not looking at her.
Lawrence had no choice but to keep going.
Go forward and go to the solitary room that is used as a prison cell.
