Kingdom of Avalon, Glass Island, White Queen District Inspectorate.
The Supervision Bureau was still very busy this morning.
Heroic men and women wearing light armor or leather armor hurried past. The silver-white majestic dragon head still hung on the wall of Director Kent's office - the silver-crowned dragon was watching them all the time.
Director Kent, who is now in his forties but still in good health, sits on his leather chair.
His back is straight, and his round shoulders and big arms hold up his loose clothes. The bronze skin and the flesh on his face give people the look of a fierce and tough man. A deep scar stretches from above his left eye.
As for his lips, he wore a black eyepatch, looking like a one-eyed pirate.
As a ritual and etiquette, even though Director Kent has not participated in a front-line battle for more than ten years, he still has to wear armor when working, his sitting posture must be standard, and his demeanor must not waver in the slightest. His upper arms, abdomen and calves, which are not high-burden areas, are
Wearing metallic silver-white armor, there are shiny armor plates hanging on other places.
If he hadn't been a transcendent of a high level, he would have been exhausted just sitting here all day long.
As early as 420 years ago, Lancelot I, the founding monarch of the Kingdom of Avalon, established three major legal institutions.
The Supervisory Bureau is responsible for "supervising and protecting the people", the Supervisory Yuan is responsible for "supervising knight officials", and the Arbitration Hall is responsible for "adjudicating right and wrong". At the beginning of their establishment, the status of these three legal agencies was equal to each other.
Important responsibilities are held by Knights of the Round Table who can enter the Senate.
The national emblem of the Kingdom of Avalon is a green eye nested in a silver-white triangle that symbolizes power.
The eyes represent the royal family, symbolizing their current old Queen Sophia I who is still healthy at the age of nearly eighty.
The silver triangle that protects the royal family refers to the Supervisory Bureau, the Supervisory Council and the Arbitration Hall.
But with the development of the times, the Supervisory Bureau has been responsible for more and more matters. Taxation, safety, sanitation, fire protection, public security, review, imprisonment... So the Supervisory Bureau has gradually divided into many sub-departments, and they have to be established in various places.
The branch bureau must recruit a large number of trainee inspectors, inspectors and chief inspectors to take charge of local affairs, and the power is therefore divided.
The Overseer's Council and the Arbitration Hall did not expand in scale because they had to deal with more difficult and specific matters. The former became an organization similar to a secret service agency - responsible for examining whether officials of all sizes are loyal and whether hereditary knight families are morally deficient.
Grassroots supervision is carried out to monitor whether there are violations of disciplines and regulations, as well as to monitor spies from other countries, or to travel alone abroad to collect intelligence; and the latter has become today's court.
What they have in common is that they are now one level above the Supervisory Bureau.
So much so that in the Supervisory Bureau, all talents who can reach the fourth level will be promoted to the Supervisory Council and the Arbitration Hall. The euphemistic name is "you won't need such talents anyway." Even the White Queen District
This is the core area adjacent to the glass steps, and its director Kent has only the third energy level.
The recently transferred young girl named Haina is only in her early twenties, and her strength is already comparable to that of Director Kent, who has now reached the fifty mark.
Without even thinking about it, Kent knew that the Inspectorate would definitely come to ask for someone.
This is an era rich in geniuses. Be it Haina or Shylock...these new generation of geniuses are much better than the old people who grew up in the peaceful era.
This is unlucky, Kent thought.
This may be a sign of coming troubled times...
He picked up the phone on the table and turned the wheel. 0-1-2, and the call was connected.
"Ask Haina to come to my office."
Director Kent ordered: "Also, find someone to call our consultant."
After hanging up the phone, he threw the "Glass Steps Newspaper" in his hand on the table. He stood up and walked to the bookshelf.
The front page of this newspaper was a photo of Haina and the young master of the Moriarty family.
The handsome young man with a gentle smile was sitting calmly in a wheelchair in the elf art style. His knees were covered with a blanket, his hands were folded in front of his belly, his attitude was gentle, and he was talking naturally and generously. And the man standing behind him
Haina, on the other hand, stood upright, holding on to the hilt of the sword at her waist, her whole body muscles tense.
It seemed like he had noticed the photographer, or he was saying hello to some acquaintance around the photographer.
Halfway through the sentence, the young man's eyes suddenly shifted from the reporter to the direction of the camera.
He showed a gentle smile as bright as the sun, raised his hand slightly and waved to this side. But it gave people the feeling that he was smiling and waving to the readers who were reading the newspaper.
The next moment, the scene jumped back to the beginning. Aiwass continued to sit in the wheelchair and spoke seriously to reporters.
——This is the "magic painting" ability that comes from the path of "beauty".
Logically speaking, the path of beauty is a path prohibited by legislation in Avalon, but Master Yanis is an exception. The "Glass Daily" founded by this world-renowned elf painter is the largest in Avalon.
It is also the only newspaper that can be called official.
Glass Daily is responsible for sorting out the most important information about the Kingdom of Avalon every day and summarizing it for the royal family and the ministers of the Round Table Hall. The three major legal agencies will also provide free "Glass Steps" for employees to read.
Maybe it's to follow the trend, maybe it's to keep up with the policies of the upper class, or maybe it's just to show that they care about the political situation of the Kingdom. Some wealthy people who neither participate in politics nor work hard will also join in the fun and buy the "Glass Steps Newspaper". Soon after, some college students will also
Purchase it as a conversation piece among young students.
Although each issue has a "magic painting" with a cumulative duration of fifteen seconds, and the material cost of each newspaper alone is as high as one red coin, its price is not high. Because Master Yanis does not need
Rely on it to make profits. The retail price of each issue of "Glass Steps Newspaper" is only two red coins and five copper coins - these five copper coins are still profits left for distributors, and sometimes there are discounts. People with a little respect can afford it.
This kind of animated newspaper is a very novel experience. Although it has no sound and is in black and white, at least the paintings can move - this is basically the cheapest way for ordinary people to really feel the extraordinary.
The path of power.
In this issue of "The Glass Steps", Aiwass Moriarty on the front page alone takes up a full twelve seconds. Only three seconds are left for a bicycle advertisement.
Director Kent highly suspected that it was because Aiwass was too handsome and his smile was full of charm that Master Yannis gave him twelve seconds.
"Smiling so pretty...at first glance, it's not a good thing."
Director Kent, who had a beast-like intuition, curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know whose girl I am planning to harm..."
...However, he saw it very clearly.
If you can solve such a big case alone at this age, you will definitely become a big shot far higher than yourself in the future.
This time they got a big credit for no reason, so they must be given adequate rewards - originally such a big job should be given to the Inspectorate, and it would not be their turn anyway.
Moreover, this is an opportunity to connect with Professor Moriarty.
Therefore, the rewards chosen must be good enough, otherwise they will be regarded as rubbish to the Moriarty family. If you give something that others do not like, it will disgrace the Inspectorate.
...It's really troublesome.
"A priest dedicated to the path...a seminarian student..."
Director Kent murmured lowly and rummaged through the bookshelves.
Suddenly, he stopped and looked towards a corner.
There was a book with a dark cover and no name on the spine.
The director picked it up with one hand and flicked the cover gently with the other hand. Sparks burst out from the pages, like a hammer striking an anvil.
"This one might work."
He murmured in a low voice and read the title: ""...Looking at the name, it should be related to 'Pastor'."
This entire bookshelf is full of good stuff collected by the people below when they confiscated banned books.
The Kingdom of Avalon strictly prohibits accepting bribes in all forms, because that is behavior that can shake the "authority". But on the other hand, appropriate profit-making within the scope of authority is tacitly accepted. This is also to prevent officials and ministers from being in the absence of
When buying money, you are bribed by foreign spies, especially spies from the Kingdom of Star Antimony, or you sell important intelligence and internal resources to the private sector. This will also shake the "authority".
One of the default methods of profit-making involves selling confiscated banned books to the Knight family - from this perspective, this bookshelf can also be regarded as Director Kent's personal property.
Kent is not a pioneer on the path of devotion, so he will definitely not be able to open this book.
But judging from the name and the sparks that burst out, this is a mysterious book that belongs to the path of devotion.
After the death of extraordinary people, their souls will fall into the "Nine Forks of the River" in the dream world and flow to the farthest path they have traveled. The power in it will become the power gained by those who come after them in the advancement ceremony.
"Path characteristics", and their memories and knowledge will be scattered all over the place, falling messily into the flowers, plants, fruits, sea of clouds, waves and other natural existences in the dream world, becoming part of the materials to build the dream world.
Those dream-walking monks who follow the path of wisdom can capture and collect these headless and scattered esoteric knowledge from the dream world.
They will collect them and organize them into books. This mysterious book containing magical knowledge is called the "original book".
The text of the "Original Canon" is written in Gupta script. It is a language that has died out for a long time and cannot be read by ordinary people. This often requires local translators of the wise path to use mysterious skills to forcibly translate it before they can be read.
According to the conventions of the translation community, the original scriptures recording the knowledge of the dream world in Gupta language are uniformly translated as so-and-so tantra. The prefix depends mainly on the translator's understanding of the content of the original scripture.
In a tantra, you can usually get a complete mysterious skill - although it may be reproduced by people in later generations, there is also a high probability that it will be a lost skill.
Although it may not be useful, it is lost after all.
In other words, it is something that cannot be obtained through normal means...
"Then as a prize and a 'gift', it's good enough."
Director Kent said to himself.
Finally recommended! Today there are more than 7,000 updates, please read them!
This book seems to have started relatively smoothly. It has already been collected by 12,000 people even before it was recommended! If this book does well, I feel like I can write more!
