(From MC’s POV)
After leaving home, I quickly found an air cab for travel. Then, later, arriving at the train station. I waited for a few minutes before boarding the train.
The trip will take a while. So, in the meantime, I start reading the news.
Time Progresses,
An hour later, I exited the train and headed towards the exit. I recalled my last trip; the police headquarters is a walkable distance from here.
After walking out of the train station, I walked towards the destination.
Soon, a magnificent building came into view.
“It’s the same as last time,” I mumbled under my breath.
Then,without thinking about anything, I walked straight towards the building. I recall the last time I was here. There is a person in the information centre who guided me.
Recalling that, I increased my pace towards the entrance.
There were some people around the premise. But seeing my mage robe, none of them raised any questions.
Soon, I came in front of the information centre. Unfortunately, this time there is a woman behind the desk.
Perceiving my gaze, the woman turned towards me and asked, “Anything?”
“I want to see Mr. Laurenz,” I said with a smile.
The woman raised her eyebrows in confusion, then she glanced at Vincent’s mage robe for a second and asked, “Whom you are talking about?” Can you tell me the department of the person ”
Hearing her words, I’m stunned. This is something I failed to realize. Apart from his name, I don’t know anything. ．
So I smiled wryly and answered, “I remember he is close to Captain Tyler. I don’t know whether he changed his team recently”
The women behind the desk were surprised by hearing Captain Tyler’s name.
Next, she didn’t trouble Vincent.
There are a few people in this building with the same name as Laurenz. But there is only one person who is acquainted with Captin Tyler.
In a few seconds, the women find the record of Level-2 Wizard Laurenz.
After finding that, the woman turned towards Vincent and said, “He is on the 2nd floor. Do you want me to remind him about your visit? ”
I nodded at her. She simply saved me from a lot of trouble. I gently touched the police wizard robe of mine. It helped a lot more than I thought.
The woman made a call to Mr. Laurenz. As the call connected, she informed him about Vincent.
At the same time on the 2nd floor. Mr. Laurenz was shocked. “What is he doing here?” Mr. Laurenz muttered to himself.
Mr. Laurenz knew that Mr. Alan had already fired him from his post on behalf of Captain Tyler.
For a moment, he was silent on the call. Next, the women remind him again. Then only Mr. Laurenz woke up from contemplation.
Then Mr. Laurenz agreed to meet with Vincent Carey.
Recalling the last assassination attempt on Vincent, Mr. Laurenz thought he may have come here to see Captain Tyler.
Mr. Laurenz suddenly thought of something. He broke out in a cold sweat the next day.
He remembers from the previous interrogation that they had done with Marcus Egger. They received lots of information.
Especially since Marcus Egger told us some serious news. Marcus Egger tried to assassinate Vincent Carey as per the order of Level-4 Wizard Killian Hoffer.
Mr. Laurenz thought of something. “Maybe the threat is not over. Mr. Alan made a hasty decision to remove him from the post.”
There is also one more thing. There is no one from Captain Tyler here, including the Department Head.
So Vincent can only meet him.
On the other hand, the women said to Vincent, “You can go, he is waiting for you.”
I thanked her and walked towards the second building.
As I reached the 2nd floor, I saw a lot of wizards. Some of them have their own group and converse with each other. while a few others are busy minding their own business.
I retracted my mind from them and looked for Mr. Laurenz. Suddenly, from a nearby room, a person walked out.
Seeing the guy, I smiled and walked towards him. He is none other than Mr. Laurenz.
“Mr. Laurenz, it’s nice to meet you.” I greeted him with a smile as I came in front of him.
Mr. Laurenz wasn’t surprised. He looked around. This place was not a suitable place for talking. So he led Vincent to their team’s room.
I understood his action, so I didn’t ask back and silently followed him.
Soon, we entered the room of their department. There is no one here at this moment.
Mr. Laurenz looked at Vincent’s robe for a moment. A quick glint flashes in his eyes.
Next, Mr. Laurenz asked, “What are you doing here?”
My expression turned a bit serious, then I answered, “Mr. Laurenz, I’m the one who’s supposed to ask What is going on here? I’m still living in fear of assassination. But there is no news whatsoever. I can understand that Captain Tyler is undergoing treatment. Then what about others? ”
Then I continue to say, “Mr. Alan also fired me from the post. I don’t know whom to ask about my assassination. If I get no answer from the Police Wizards, then I’m going to ask for help from my academy elders. ”
Mr. Laurenz touched his forehead with a headache. He knew from Vincent’s visit that it was going to be trouble. He knows the reason behind the assassination. But he is not a qualified person to say so.
Shaking his head, Mr. Laurenz looked at Vincent and said, “You came here at the wrong time.”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
Mr. Laurenz answered with a bitter smile, “Last evening, the Department Head went for a mission with two teams. One of the teams was Captain Tyler’s team.”
Hearing that, I laughed in my heart. This is not the wrong time; it’s actually a good time for me. I was always in fear of meeting that Alan guy.
Fortunately, he is not here at this time. This is also a good thing for me. A new plan rose in my heart. Then, looking at him, I asked, “Mr. Laurenz, Can you tell me? What’s going on? Who is behind my assassination? ”
Mr. Laurenz really doesn’t know what to say. If the Department Head was here, he could have led Vincent to his cabin.
Looking at the pitiful expression of Vincent, Mr. Laurenz thought about helping him. He suddenly observed him for a second and asked, “Are you a school kid?”
Hearing that, I nodded and commented, “Yes, in order to practise, I need lots of resources. So, I took a part-time job here. But who would have expected Captain Tyler to suffer from such an incident? ”
Then I further, “Now, I’ve lost my job.” There was also an assassination attempt on me. Mr. Laurenz, Can you understand my trouble? ”
Mr. Laurenz twitched. He suddenly thought he should have taken a day off today.
Then he ponders that Vincent’s worries were not unreasonable. Who knows there might be someone trying to assassinate the kid again?
Then Mr. Laurenz commented, “Okay, I can speak with Mr. Alan about you. I’m not in a position to make a decision. ”
“What, Alan?” I’m taken aback a little.
That guy is not good. Then again, looking at Mr. Laurenz, I realised that he is simply a Level-2 Wizard. His authority is limited here.
He can’t make decisions like level-3 wizards. What to do? Initially, I came here to ask for compensation. But after knowing there is no one here, I plan to seek justice.
But looking at my current situation, which is not suitable either, I don’t want to offend someone who shouldn’t be offended.
I sighed and asked, “Mr. Laurenz, as you can see, my daily life is in turmoil. Without any protection, I fear going out of my own house.If someone can put an end to this, it will be helpful for me.”
Mr. Laurenz got some meaning from Vincent’s words.
“This kid is right; he doesn’t have any protection at all. If next time there is any assassination attempt, the poison dagger will definitely send a stronger enemy. ” Mr. Laurenz said to himself.
If he can give some means of safety to this kid, then he will soon leave this place.
After gaining some clarity, Mr. Laurenz thought about protecting items. “What can I give to this kid?” Mr. Laurenz thought to himself.
Since no one is here, it’s impossible to request a battle hall. because he needs permission from the department head for it. On top of that, his work is very different from others.
He can only give his own protection items to Vincent Carey.
Seeing that Mr. Laurenz was zoning out, I called out his name again, “Mr. Laurenz!”
Hearing his name, Mr. Laurenz retracted his thoughts and looked at Vincent.
“I can only give some protection items of my own. If you really come across any life-threatening danger, you can call me. I’ll inform the higher ups. ” Mr. Laurenz said with a wry smile.
Then he muttered to himself, “Mr. Alan is really hasty. I don’t know if this kid can survive another assassination.”
Shaking his head, he took out two things from his storage bracelet. There is one offensive artefact which is in a round shape.
Wizards may be deceived by its ball-shaped appearance. But it actually contains the magic power of a level-3 fire spell.
Another thing is the potion bottle, which can be used to heal the injuries of level-2 wizards. He handed over these two items to Vincent with a reluctant gaze.
