Chapter 12 Calculation
"Buzz"
Ripples appeared in the space, and as soon as Wang Changle appeared through teleportation, he found that except for gold coins and ores, all other valuable materials in the dark warehouse had disappeared.
He couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. Oops, he had fallen into a trap.
"Odd, why is it you? Didn't you go to inspect Wanggui District? Why did you appear in the warehouse?!"
The next moment, the magic lamp came on, and Sandra looked in disbelief at the great knight in her regiment who had returned from the front line.
In fact, when Captain Fankins ordered him to do things, he also expected many people, including members of the White Night Demon Eye or the remnants of the Shion Killer Whale.
But only, he didn't expect that it would be a member of his own knights, or the person in front of him who had been advocating the capture of the White Night Demon Eye.
"Haha, good evening, three gentlemen."
Wang Changle looked directly past Sandra and looked at Fankins standing behind him and Damnatio with a serious and indifferent face.
At the same time, he was also quickly thinking of countermeasures in his mind, recalling Damnatio's relevant information.
Damnatio, the Speaker of the Magic Council of the Clover Kingdom, was born into the Kira noble family.
But he is a magician who upholds the law first and is absolutely impartial. He uses scale magic. He is also a rare neutral faction in the Clover Kingdom.
His status as Speaker is extremely special, and his strength is at the level of a group leader. The most important thing is that this guy is someone that both the noble faction and the Magic Emperor want to win over.
But this person only talks about evidence and laws when doing things, which is equivalent to the "Bao Zheng" of this world.
In the original plot line, even the protagonist Asta and the Magic Emperor Julius were tried and investigated by him.
This Fankins is truly worthy of being the leader of the Golden Dawn. He was able to calm down and take advantage of the situation after the treasure trove was stolen.
While secretly transferring supplies, he also manages to lure himself into a trap. What an interesting opponent.
Now that Damnatio is present as a witness, unless Wang Changle is willing to give up the Clover Kingdom camp, he cannot take action or defect.
"Great Knight of Oud, if you return the supplies you took by mistake now, I won't hold you accountable."
Fankins suppressed the anger in his heart and stared at the person in front of him. This half day was enough for him to understand everything that had happened recently.
Now that this kid has appeared here, there is no doubt that the magic stone is in his hands, and Leia's disappearance must be related to this person.
"Oh, I don't understand what you are talking about, Captain Fankins. However, Speaker Damnatio, I am willing to accept the investigation of the Magic Council, but I don't want to say anything until the Magic Emperor arrives."
Wang Changle smiled and shook his head. He could feel Fankins' hidden murderous intention.
But it was impossible for him to take out the thing. As he spoke, he turned to look at Damnatio.
Not to mention that this magic stone is necessary for him to complete the main mission, and that the golden sword is also a trophy, let's just say that if he really took it out, Fankins would immediately condemn him.
What's more, how can the matter between the contractor and the plot character be called stealing? It's just a friendly borrowing.
"Magic Emperor, I think you have rested now. Until this matter is investigated clearly, Odd, please return to the station first. Fankins, I will arrange for the magicians of the Magic Council to be detained."
Damnatio frowned slightly when he heard this. His eyes kept wandering between the two, and he was keenly aware of the subtle atmosphere between the two. Perhaps this matter was not as simple as he saw.
Moreover, this great knight of Oud, both in attitude and image, made him quite fond of him.
Then he thought about the two people's status and the recent frequent actions of the Magic Emperor, but Odd was involved in them. He didn't want to wade into this muddy water, so he said immediately.
"Yes, everything is at the discretion of Speaker Damnatio. If the investigation reveals that Captain Fankins has suffered any losses, I will be willing to bear them. This is a 300,000 gold coupon. If there is any shortage, I can make up for it."
Wang Changle noticed the hesitation and embarrassment in Damnatio's words, and after slightly amplifying his emotions, he took out the gold coupon directly, with an extremely sincere attitude on his face.
During the exchange just now, he discovered that Fankins was extremely concerned about Damnatio's reaction, and he immediately thought clearly about the stakes.
"Well, let's do that, Captain Fankins, do you have any objections?"
Damnatio nodded upon seeing this, and his affection for Odd grew even more in his heart.
This kind of civilian magic knight who is neither humble nor arrogant, polite and polite is really becoming more and more rare. He turned to Fankins, who had a gloomy expression.
"Magic Knight Odd sneaked into the team warehouse and attempted theft. He will be removed from the Golden Dawn. Sandra, take him to the station..."
Seeing that Damnatio didn't want to get involved, Fankins also knew that reporting it to the Magic Emperor would be ineffective, and he suddenly said coldly.
However, his expression was flickering. He failed to obtain the magic stone, and did not ask for Leia's information. Simply removing Odd from his name and placing him under house arrest could not at all relieve the stagnation in his heart.
On the contrary, Odd's appearance of neither arguing nor getting angry, fully cooperating with the investigation, and actively taking responsibility but innocently made him feel extremely disgusting, but he was unable to do anything.
Having already reached the point of catching the thief and taking the stolen goods, Damnatio actually chose to give in, which made Fankins feel that something was wrong.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Sandra glanced at Wang Changle with a complicated expression, but found that this man was not only not annoyed, but instead looked at Fankins with a smile on his face.
What puzzled him was that a mere commoner from Oud dared to go against His Majesty William, who was a nobleman and the leader of the Golden Dawn.
Doesn't he know what kind of injustice he will suffer without the status of Golden Dawn in this country where class is above all else?
"By the way, Captain Fankins, I wonder if you like to watch fireworks. I like to watch those gorgeous red fireworks. Every time I see them, I feel happy."
After Wang Changle finished speaking, he followed Sandra and Damnatio towards the location of Golden Dawn. However, Fankins did not chase him until he was taken to the room and a magic prohibition barrier was set up.
For him, as long as he can complete the mission, there is no loss in losing this layer of identity of the Golden Dawn.
As for this so-called house arrest, it is just a matter of time for him.
Looking at the forbidden barrier set up on the balcony garden, Wang Changle just smiled.
In his perception, the blossoming bloodthorn flowers in the plain world are now moving in the direction of benefiting the outside world.
After stretching and sending another message to Black Hoof, he muttered, moved a seat and looked out the window at the night.
"It's just a pity that we can't absorb soul energy and life force..."
