The people of Winter will greatly reduce the supernatural crimes of "spells" and "rituals" through strict control of spellcasting abilities.
...After all, any case that does not involve magic is basically easy to solve.
Only wizards can add points to each person - if you want to judge from the traces what spells they have used, you have to check the information for a long time.
Regarding wizard crimes, the Noahic choice is to directly monitor the situation; in the Theocracy, where every street may have a real god or a false god, basically such magic crimes will be stopped on the spot; the population in the United Kingdom is quite large
It is densely populated and has abundant talents, so there is the "Special Bureau of Spells and Ritual Crimes"... There is a romantic world of "super detectives" and "super police detectives". Even the legends of criminals can be adapted into operas and performed grandly in the grand theater.
of performance.
The Winter people don't have that many people, don't have that many resources, and don't have that many "monitoring probes" and strong men who are ready to help when things get rough. So the only way to solve the problem is to reduce the number of unofficial wizards.
.
As for the underground?
As long as the matter is not big enough, wise men will generally leave it alone. After all, they are all "smart people".
The Hands of Winter in the cold winter are all Silver-level incapacitated wizards - they provide special promotion channels, nightmare guides, and advanced professions. They start training from the Bronze level. Most of the Hands of Winter can be trained within five to ten years.
Stable progression to silver.
After that, they will use their silver-level learning abilities to start training on how to fight against wizards for three consecutive years, and then add one year of "how to fight against other extraordinary professions" courses as appropriate.
They are professional wizard killers.
Each Hand of Winter can easily fight against wizards of the same level.
What the Incapacitation School is best at is paralyzing other people's various abilities.
Slowing down, silence, freezing, vulnerability, stumbling, freezing thoughts, freezing intentions, ice cones hidden in the air, invisible walls, slowing walls that block flying objects, and the ban on movement in space, etc.
On the basis of a full set of restricted skills and an understanding of spells from various schools... they are also particularly good at physical strikes.
Maces or hand axes, and lastly two-handed swords, "girly weapons" like daggers are very rare.
Moreover, the Hand of Winter has also specially trained firearms abilities. Although the time is not long, it is a silver-level learning ability after all. It is not too easy to hunt down wizards with no combat experience and ritualists without the ability to sense hostility.
All in all...except for the Hand of Winter, any extraordinary person who has the ability to cast spells and rituals will be taken seriously.
Wizards who cannot produce identification will basically be unconditionally arrested by the Hand of Winter as soon as they see them, until the search team confirms that there is indeed no criminal record; even wizards with identification will be detained directly and detained.
He will be released only after asking about the situation at the Wizard Tower... and he will be followed by secret sentinels from then on.
As for the ritual master - all unofficial ritual masters will unconditionally surrender their weapons. This surrender refers to taking away all property including clothes, because it is impossible to tell what the other party can use to perform the ceremony. After that, a new set of clothes will be given
With a small amount of travel expenses, he is sent to other cities and is not allowed to return to a familiar place. This is basically a kind of exile.
Of course, if you are a capable person... you will be recruited.
This is indeed a special "discrimination" against wizards and ritual masters based on the special circumstances of winter. This cannot be regarded as discrimination, it can even be said to be valued.
By reducing the proportion of "unofficial spellcasters" among extraordinary people across the country, we can eliminate the need to set up an extraordinary countermeasures department in the police station. All extraordinary cases can be directly transferred to the special police department of the Hand of Winter for resolution - although the Hand of Winter
They are called wizard killers, but that doesn't mean they can't deal with other types of extraordinary beings.
The only ones who can compete with wizards at the same level and level are hunters who are particularly good with the combination of curses and bindings.
But due to the special environment of winter... it is basically impossible for a hunter to survive to the Silver level, and he will be arrested for murder.
The people of Winter need to use this method to significantly reduce the consumption of funds and talents - this is a policy established by the Grand Duke of Winter a long time ago. At least Ivan's grandfather, or maybe his grandfather's grandfather.
The man in the mirror is also an old wizard, there is no way he doesn't know this.
But...the policy is one thing, but the implementation is another matter.
I have seen too many dark wizards, or I was scolded by these masters when arresting wizards, or I was punished for offending a real big shot. Or my comrades were killed by dark wizards, or they retired because of disability.
...It is true that some Hands of Winter have hatred for wizards.
They often start to use some special methods...for example, directly hunting down wizards who are suspected of committing crimes but have no evidence, and then fabricating evidence in turn, or simply giving them a stick in the neck to "exchange one for one without losing money."
In this case, many unofficial wizards in Winter ran away.
Even wizards who graduate from the White Tower of Cold Wind generally do not stay in the Principality of Winter. Anyway, the Principality of Winter does not want to hunt these wizards, but to reduce the number of wizards to reduce the frequency of magic crimes... They are willing to themselves
If you run out, you will not be hindered.
After all, winter is really difficult.
Killing one person may destroy two or more families; burning down a street will almost directly destroy a village. Wizards never know the importance of what they do... After all, their graduation exams are more about output, and they have always only been able to do it.
Hit it high, there is no way to hit it low.
The position of the man in the mirror is that he is a wizard born in winter after all. His colleagues, students and even himself may have been treated roughly by the Hand of Winter.
The Man in the Mirror has never had a good impression of the Hand of Winter, a "companion" that attacks wizards without any hesitation. Furthermore, he also has no favorable impression of the Principality of Winter...
Therefore, after He ascended, he never returned to the Principality of Winter to take a look.
It is said that Pope Benjamin of the Man in the Mirror has taken him to the United Kingdom.
If you tell the man in the mirror about Jacob, it might cause trouble and some misunderstandings.
Either there was a misunderstanding that Annan had plundered Jacob, or there was a misunderstanding that Jacob was "complicit" in "bowing down".
...although the truth seems to be similar.
Later, Annan also wanted Jacob to learn some rituals in the mirror realm. If this "hole opener" mastered the rituals in the mirror realm, his usefulness might be even higher...
Of course, that will have to wait until Ah Dian and the three of them finish the nightmare.
When the senior comes over, you can also ask him to accompany you to fight this nightmare... and you can just drag in a Silver-level girl to start the black game.
Speaking of which, if a senior falls into a nightmare, is he considered one person or two people...
With his own thoughts in mind, Annan lay on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Zhuo Ya, on the other hand, stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the moonlight - the special thing about the profession of Hand of Winter is that they only need four hours of sleep a day without feeling sleepy, and can even go without sleep for three days in a row.
, and supplement it with twelve hours of sleep.
As a price, the Hand of Winter will lose its desire for reproduction and food. This is why the Hand of Winter has almost no offspring.
But at 3:30 in the morning, the ceremony table suddenly lit up with an orange light.
As the golden flame ignited - the flame gradually melted and took shape, becoming the shape of four pieces of letter paper.
Annan's perception attribute has already reached the extraordinary realm.
Even in a deep sleep, he noticed something immediately and woke up.
Annan squinted his eyes, smoothed his messy silver hair around his ears, and slowly stood up from the bed.
"...Salvatore? This reply is fast enough..."
Zhuo Ya immediately walked to the table, picked up the letter and scanned it quickly.
Her pupils lit up brightly - this was not a spell, it was just a technique to fill the pupils with the power of the curse, allowing them to gain night vision.
"I think you need to read this letter."
Zhuo Ya said, sorting the four pieces of letter paper into order and handing them to Annan. She opened the curtain of the ritual lamp in front of the bed and turned the knob.
A light that was gentle and harmless to the eyes suddenly lit up - even though no light could hurt Annan's eyes.
It was a "handmade gift" given by Annan's underground friends.
A large amount of seawater and dozens of irregular crystal cubes of "ice cubes sealed with light" are put in. The amount of water in the same layer as the "ice cubes sealed with light" can be controlled by the knob to change the brightness.
Annan stood up, walked to the bedside table, and put the letter in front of the table. Zhuoya picked up her clothes and put them on Annan.
Annan quickly frowned.
Salvatore rambled on for more than two thousand words - one thousand of which were about Azote. Half of them were complaining that Azote was too wasteful, and the other half were complaining that he didn't have Azote.
It turns out that the experiment on the Philosopher's Stone has been stuck for a long time.
If the rest of his words were condensed...
It can be simply summarized as "I won't go, why don't you come over quickly, the succession ceremony on Kafni's side is not that easy, she encountered some 'little troubles that are not easy to solve'".
