Chapter 57 

A quarter of an hour later, clerics from the Four Orthodox Churches, the Night Watchmen who stayed behind, and the Storm City Law Enforcement Team surrounded the harbor with all kinds of equipment.

The wise priests seized the best observation point in the front row on the grounds of "scientific curiosity".

The magic priests followed suit, citing "fire-based magic for thawing".

Captain Cohen, who originally had the home advantage, could only squeeze pitifully in the back row. But in the end, that didn't diminish his experience, because the iceship was so big, it looked the same no matter where it was.

As it slowly sailed into the harbor, a palpitating sense of oppression came over his face, and he forgot to breathe.

Cohen couldn't help but think of the "Frost Holy City" mentioned in the transcendent texts, which turned out to be just hard ice, which could create such an indescribable sense of beauty and power.

"Captain, you're ready to go!"

Cohen came back to his senses and realized that it was the excited shouts of his men. The Wisdom Priests are knocking the ice down to study, and the Magic Priests are uniting to infuse the "Thaw" circle with their power.

"Yes, all in place!"

Legends aside, the reality is that he, Cohen · Fernandez, could one day personally arrest hundreds of Prophecy Cultists!

This is the Captain of Storm City's Law Enforcement, no, no, I'm afraid it's the greatest feat that the Captain of Law Enforcement in all cities in the entire Eivor Continent can establish! Today, he will be recorded in the transcendent history of Storm City!

When the sunset color red the sky, this massive arrest operation came to an end. The Prophets, who absconded through the escape pod, were also caught in a joint squatting in three nearby port cities.

"How's it going?" Cohen rubbed his frozen gloves and looked at his vice-captain.

"It's good, but it's not so good." The vice-captain had a strange expression.

Cohen frowned, "How do you say that?"

The deputy captain handed over the register in his hand, "A total of 124 remnants of the Prophecy Divine Sect have been arrested, thirteen are seriously injured, thirty-six are slightly injured, and the others are fine.

"The good thing is that they didn't try to run away or resist, which saved the law enforcement team a lot of trouble."

"The bad thing is that the freeze seems to have taken a toll on their memories. They only remember yesterday before they fell asleep, and today's memory is blurry.

"If one or two people say that, there could be collusion. But all people say the same thing, and that can only be the truth. And the priest checked and confirmed that they were mentally impaired.

Cohen touched his chin with one hand, thought for a moment, and said, "It doesn't matter, it's the most important thing to keep them under control." As for what happened today, we can ask the two night watchmen and the children.

"That's what you're saying," the vice-captain nodded.

"Where are they now?"

"Following your suggestion, and with Lord Victor's consent, we have arranged for two night watchmen to be placed in a nearby manor of a wealthy merchant. At this time, they may be having dinner.

"Did the rich merchant offer any quid pro quo?"

"No," the vice-captain couldn't help but chuckle, "he was thrilled when he found out that it was Lord Victor Sage who lived in. Immediately, many male and female servants and cooks were transferred from the city.

Cohen choked.

This wealthy merchant nearby is a well-known miser, not long ago the port supplies were delivered wrong, he asked his men to borrow some food, the other party did not say anything, and listed a bunch of remuneration requirements.

"Let's go, then," and see if we can have dinner too.

"Yes," the vice-captain walked with an unusually brisk step. After a busy afternoon, his stomach was growling.

The two walked across the manor's lawn and were guided by the manservant to the hospitality restaurant on the east side of the first floor of the manor.

Expensive spar lamps stand on either side, and a long walnut table is filled with all kinds of meals and fruits.

Habsburg, the owner of the manor, was seated at the end of the table, and Helen was seated on either side of the table with several priests and children.

Cohen sniffed the tempting aroma of roasted beef, swallowed without a trace, and barely maintained his dignity as a law enforcement captain, "Mr. Habsburg, excuse me.

"Oh, it's our captain Cohen, please come in," Habsburg smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "and add two sets of cutlery and wine glasses to the two captains."

Cohen swallowed the phrase "we're just here to see" and sat down calmly at the end of the table.

After taking a sip of mellow red wine, he only felt that the fatigue of the day had been best compensated, "Actually, we came here to learn from the children about what happened today." The

two wise priests looked at each other with a meaningful smile on their faces.

"We've already asked that question, but I think the kids will be more than happy to say it again."

"Ah, I'm coming, I'm coming," Loulu, Councillor Cobb's granddaughter, hurriedly raised her hand. It was all Michael talking non-stop just now, and she didn't have a chance!

"Okay, could you please tell me about it?" Cohen's tone is gentle.

"Ahem, it all started in the morning. When we got up today, two tall and strong adults came in and brought us breakfast. Breakfast was lemon grilled cod, sour and unpalatable! It's much worse than the maid skills in my house!

Cohen: The statement of "......" is very different from his expectations.

After a crackling and grumbling session, Lulu finally got to the point, "And then, they brought Roy in. He introduced himself as a night watchman from Yorktown.

"He said he would take us out, but the time wasn't up yet, so we had to hide with him and wait. How obedient we are, we really just waited obediently, and we were all about to fall asleep.

"Then, with a sudden bang, the big ship began to shake." Lulu added a gesture and described it vividly, "The two adults at the door knocked me unconscious.

"Michael said it was going to be a tsunami, and Roy said, 'It's time for us to act......"

Lulu depicts the thrill and bravery of their escape from the ship, how they bypass the guards, how they climb out of the boat. This paragraph doesn't even need to be polished, and it can be published directly as a "Sea Escape Adventure".

"Later, we decided to sit down on the turtle's back and wait for Sister Alanna to come to us. It was a little cold at sea, but Roy used a protective weapon and quickly felt comfortable.

Seeing Lulu's satisfied smile, Cohen couldn't help but ask, "What about the boat?" How does it freeze?

"Ahh

"After Sister Alanna got on the turtle's back, we were ready to go. As a result, a big hole suddenly appeared in the sky, and it was a little scary to be dark. "

"Huhuhu, a big dragon flew down from the sky, roared and shouted, and sprayed at the big ship, and then froze the big ship."

"Dragon?" Cohen subconsciously swept towards the two wise priests.

But none of them gave an explanation, but instead said "you listen, you continue to listen".

"Yes, Long Long! I know, I've seen it in books! Lulu patted her chest and said without question.

Cohen paused for two seconds before asking, "Where did the dragon go?" "Why didn't they see it?

"The dragon is gone," Lulu said of course, "and it blew a lot of snowflakes, and then it became snowflakes and then disappeared."

Cohen: "......"

After a while, he barely pulled out a smile, "Lord Helen, the two priests, what do you see here?"

Helen said calmly: "Captain Cohen, the priest has treated and examined the children, and their mental state is normal, their thinking is smooth, and they are not hallucinating. 

The wise priest next to him added, "It's not just one child who says that, all six children say it.

"What about the others?" Cohen felt that this description had to be written in the event file, and he would probably be ridiculed for a whole year, "the two Night Watchmen, and the captain of the guard. 

The Wisdom Priest took a bite of beef and said casually, "Oh, that Buffy Captain said the same thing as the kids. As for the two Night Watchmen, the mission briefings they submitted are here, and you can check them out. 

Cohen took two pieces of parchment from his hand and intended to study them from beginning to end. But there was little room for "study," and most of the two parchments were empty.

The part where he wrote was very "concise and concise", and did not answer his questions at all.

After much hesitation, he still said his thoughts, "Lord Helen, is this briefing too general?" How did the Prophetic Elders come to an end? Where did the Frost Dragon come from and where did it go? None of this is explained.

Helen: "Captain Cohen, didn't the two Night Watchmen write in the report?" They don't know.

Cohen choked, of course he knew it was written on paper, but was there something wrong with that? Especially the night watchman Alanna · Sos, who was a direct witness to the incident.

"Can you ask the two Night Watchmen to be questioned by the Law Enforcement Chaplain?"

Helen didn't hesitate, "The Chief of the Night Watchmen, Andreina, has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb the two Night Watchmen.

The implication is that we want to go to you, and we won't go anyway.

The wise priests really want to know the truth, even scratching their hearts and lungs. But they were very clear-headed, those two were the heroes who had survived the city of York this time, and secondly, they were not under their jurisdiction, and they really didn't interrogate them if they wanted to.

Cohen sighed secretly and stuffed the beef into his mouth, "Everyone, please use it slowly, I still have official business, so I'll leave the table for the time being."

Waiting for Cohen and the vice-captain to walk out of the cafeteria, the wisdom priest lowered his voice and said, "Lord Helen, this captain Cohen is very meritorious, I'm afraid he will take some action."

Helen didn't shake her head, "Then let him go." 

The Wise Priest glanced at Helen in surprise. He thought that Lord Helen had a good relationship with the Miss Night Watchman and would definitely protect her, but that didn't seem to be the case?

Cohen was so hurried that the vice-captain barely could keep up.

"Captain, what do we do now?"

Strictly speaking, there is a gray area in this incident. Its cause was in Yorktown, and the participants were also from Yorktown, but it happened in Storm City.

If the Storm City Law Enforcement Team wants to investigate thoroughly, it will inevitably collide with the forces of York City, and even bypass the authority of Lord Victor Sage to a certain extent.

But if you can't find out the ins and outs of the matter, then the matter will not be done satisfactorily.

Do you accept it when you see it, or take advantage of the momentum? This is a difficult political issue.

Cohen looked out the window.

The entire Storm City's native clerics and law enforcement team members were running around like chickens, and they didn't even bother to eat a bite of dinner. If he really gave up without trying, he was really a little unwilling.

"Now go and ask for the warrants from the Archon and the Chief of the Night's Watchman! Bring the Corps Priest here! The

vice-captain took a deep breath, "Yes, I'll do it right away."

Cohen pulled a cigarette out of his bosom and rolled it back and forth between his noses. He also made a lot of efforts this time, and was even ready to call the fleet, so he wanted to ask the truth, not too much, right?

The people of York City are afraid that they will leave for their return tomorrow, and maybe they will take with them the core figures of the remnants of the Cult of Prophecy. If he doesn't act, it's too late.

After continuous self-reassurance and waiting, the vice-captain finally rushed back.

"I just asked, Lord Victor is dealing with all sorts of dangerous items left on the ship, and Lord Helen is interrogating the remnants of the prophecy. Now go find those two Night Watchmen, the time is right.

"Whew-" Cohen clenched his warrant, "let's go, then."

Arriving at the door of the suite on the east side of the third floor of the main house, Cohen did not see the night watchman guards, and he was relieved and knocked on the door.

"Miss Alana, I'm Cohen, the chief of the Storm City Law Enforcement Team, can I talk to you a few words?"

"Please come in."

Cohen pushed the door in, dumbfounded.

Alana didn't stay alone, but sat on the couch with the Seventh Squad to play cards. Andrina and two other night watchmen stood nearby.
