Wizard: My magic facility can be upgraded!

Chapter 151 The Situation of the Dwarf Kingdom

Chapter 151 The Situation of the Dwarf Kingdom

The destroyed tombstones in the cemetery were replaced one by one, the cracked ground was leveled again, and new seeds of calming flowers were sown on the burned land.

In his spare time between patrols, he devoted himself entirely to upgrading the various facilities he had already bound to the system, and he also took the opportunity to bind the [Eternal Star Map] in the hall.

The sight of the Selena faction leader using the star map to turn the tide that night made him think that it must be a very powerful witchcraft facility.

Unfortunately, it seems that the [Eternal Star Chart] is only a facility used to amplify celestial magic and teleportation. Since Li Ang does not know celestial magic, the only use of the star chart for him is to be able to teleport freely within the range of the Wizard Tower.

Finally, a week later, at dusk, the familiar hum of an airship engine echoed across the sky.

The Three Towers Joint Fleet, which had been out on a joint clearing mission, returned to Lelita in a grand procession.

Another day passed, and all law enforcement team members who were not on patrol were summoned to the headquarters' large conference room.

The meeting was chaired by Deacon Theron himself.

He still had that cold and aloof look, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes than before.

Standing on the stage, he calmly reported the results of the joint operation to the crowd. Starting from Banner Port, the joint fleet followed the trail and destroyed more than ten large and small strongholds of the Twilight Shadow Society along the way. They also struck more than twenty other dark witch organizations such as the Blood Fang Society and the Tarot Society, killing more than a hundred dark witches who resisted. Flame Princess and Poison Fang, the main targets, have been confirmed to have been killed.

At this point, Celeste's tone turned cold: "As for the other main target, [Shadow], I'm sure everyone already knows. He, along with that old bastard [Necromancer], attacked Lelita."

He then read out the results of the internal investigation into the attack.

"First, we confirmed that the enemy's main objective was to steal the [Primal Flame] preserved by the Elementalist School."

"The enemy used two special items in this attack," Celeste's voice echoed clearly in the conference room, "and after multiple verifications, both have been confirmed to originate from the Dwarf Kingdom."

As soon as he uttered the words "Kingdom of Dwarves," Sandra Meya, sitting next to Leon, instantly stiffened.

Her bright green eyes widened suddenly, filled with disbelief and a fury that felt her honor had been tarnished.

She instinctively opened her mouth, as if she was about to stand up immediately and loudly refute or clarify something.

Just as Maya was about to blurt it out, Li Ang quickly reached out from under the table and gently tugged at her sleeve.

Maya's words were interrupted, and she turned to look at Li Ang, her eyes filled with confusion and urgency.

Li Ang looked at her, shook his head slightly, and silently mouthed to her, "Your Highness, please wait."

When Maya met Li Ang's calm gaze, her boiling emotions seemed to be doused with cold water.

She knew, of course, that this was a serious meeting setting and that it was inappropriate to act impulsively.

She pressed her lips tightly together, swallowing back the words that were about to come out, but her hands on her knees clenched into fists.

Ceronst, oblivious to the brief interruption in the audience, continued, "The two types of tools are, firstly, drilling vehicles that lack magical fluctuations and can evade conventional detection, and secondly, signal jammers capable of interfering with the puppet's control core."

"The alliance's technical department is studying countermeasures. We will also bring underground areas under surveillance and upgrade the puppet's anti-interference capabilities to prevent such incidents from happening again."

He paused slightly, his tone becoming more serious: "Furthermore, investigations have confirmed that the recent frequent unusual activity and even attacks by magical beasts in the surrounding area, as well as the attack on the Elementalist School's field training team last month, are all linked to the 'Twilight Shadow Society,' a dark witch organization. Preliminary findings indicate that the 'Twilight Shadow Society' possesses a special item capable of enhancing the abilities of magical beasts to a certain extent, and even guiding or directly controlling them, making them more aggressive."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience, with many team members who had participated in related missions or heard about these incidents showing expressions of realization and indignation.

Helena, in particular, subconsciously touched her previously injured left leg, a hint of lingering fear flashing in her eyes.

After the audience quieted down, Celeste surveyed the room and slowly said, "Finally, after a thorough investigation, it has been confirmed that my disciple, Matthew Irwin, betrayed the Tower, joined the Dark Witch Organization, and acted as an inside agent in this attack."

He straightened his back, his face expressionless, but the self-reproach in his eyes seemed to overflow: "This is my dereliction of duty as a mentor. I hereby express my sincerest apologies to all my colleagues and to Lelita."

After speaking, the usually aloof butler bowed deeply to everyone in the audience.

He straightened up and continued, "I have applied to the higher-ups for self-punishment, to have a year's salary deducted, and to accept all other appropriate penalties."

At the end of the meeting, Celeste announced: "Leon, and all members of Special Operations Group One, stay. The rest of you, meeting adjourned."

The heavy wooden door of the conference room slowly closed behind us, shutting out the chaotic footsteps and whispers of the other teams as they left.

The empty room was now empty except for Deacon Celons and the five members of the First Special Operations Team.

The oppressive silence didn't last long. Sandramea abruptly stepped forward, looking up at Seronst, who sat at the head of the table. Her fists clenched, her emerald eyes filled with anxiety: "Deacon Seronst, Ironforge has been the Alliance's most steadfast ally for centuries! My father would never betray the alliance to aid those cowardly dark wizards! This must be a conspiracy; someone wants to frame the dwarves and incite conflict!"

Celeste's gaze fell on Maya, whose calm face revealed little emotion. He slowly nodded: "That's why, Maxwell, I left your team behind alone."

He paused, then tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, making a rhythmic, soft sound.

"The mechanical structure analysis of the Obsidian Tower Enabling School and the mystical origin tracing of the Stargazing School both point to the same conclusion: the core components and manufacturing process of those two items did indeed originate from the Dwarf Kingdom."

Seeing Maya's face turn pale instantly and her eagerness to argue, Celeste raised his hand to stop her and continued, "However, the test results can only prove where the items came from, not the role the Dwarf Kingdom played in this incident. We cannot currently confirm whether this was an official action by the Dwarf Royal Court, a private action by certain internal forces, or—as you said, a carefully planned frame-up."
