After the girl disappeared, everyone looked at each other, but no one was interested in talking.
After waiting in silence for about ten minutes, the magic airship suddenly restarted, and after about two hours of flight, it brought everyone back to Doral City.
After getting off the magic airship, uniformed officials from the Doral City Lord's Palace took the kidnapped students away on behalf of the Candela Empire government.
They then accepted some questions from the officials of the city lord's palace about the kidnapping incident, and then let them go.
In exchange for their freedom, the officials of the Doral City Lord's Palace not only helped them re-issue their identity documents, but also gave them some expenses for returning home according to their needs.
For example, Lucian was issued two gold coins, which was enough for him to take the fastest long-distance passenger magic locomotive back to his hometown, and there was even some leftover.
Of course, the package he carried with him could not be found, but the Doral City Lord's Palace would not compensate him for some of the gadgets inside.
But for Lucian, compared to being kidnapped and then sold to nowhere, the current result is very satisfying.
What really made him regretful was that this incident delayed him for two days. As a result, he did not have enough time to continue looking for a job in Doral City. He could only temporarily return to the academy to take the final exam before making plans.
From the perspective of Lucian and the other kidnapped students, the impact of this incident on them probably ends here.
But for the officials sent by the city government of Doral City and the Candela Empire to deal with this matter, this matter has only just begun.
Such a serious kidnapping incident occurred in the Candela Empire, and judging from the information obtained, this kidnapping organization has existed for far more than a day or two. Therefore, as soon as the time was disclosed by major newspapers within the Candela Empire, it immediately triggered a controversy A huge outcry.
The first thing people targeted was the Doral City officials.
There were so many young students kidnapped so easily in Doral City. The palace of Doral City's lord obviously had an inescapable responsibility.
The second target is the southern provincial governor's office.
This kidnapping organization only has a large number of people. The scary thing is that they actually have heavy-duty military magic machinery such as magic chariots. It is not an exaggeration to call them a small army!
Such a powerful organization can exist in the Southern Province for so long without being discovered. What is the Southern Province Governor's Office doing
Today's Sainz Continent is no longer the information-blocked society it used to be. After widespread use of newspapers and magic projectors, the circulation of information has far exceeded that of the past, allowing any piece of news to be quickly known to countless people.
So once this matter was exposed, the southern provinces went up to the governor's palace. All the people who went down to the palace of Doral City were met with great pressure from doubts.
For this matter, the royal family of the Candela Empire even sent an official document, ordering the Governor-General of the Southern Province to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter and never allow the same thing to happen again.
in this official document. His Majesty the Emperor even issued a decree himself, stating that "the empire's future talents must not be easily lost in this way."
"This is the real problem." The young Duke of Windsor, who took over his father's position three years ago and was the new governor of the Candela Empire, looked at the official document stamped with the imperial royal seal in his hand and sighed softly. "His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care about those civilians being kidnapped. What he cares about is that the kidnapped people are students from various colleges and can be regarded as future talents related to the magic industry. If they are kidnapped, That is indeed a great loss for the empire.”
"Yes." The staff on the side nodded slightly. "Your Majesty Duke, regarding this issue, I think we should really strengthen the security of Doral City. Doral City can now be said to be the most prosperous city in the southern part of the empire. It is also the city with the largest flow of people. Although this is our Glory, but also a kind of pressure.”
"You see, at this time of year, a large number of students who are about to graduate from the college will come here to seek job opportunities. They are very easy targets. If we cannot provide them with some protection, I am afraid that similar incidents will continue in the future. occur."
"Well... this is indeed a problem..." The young Duke of Windsor pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, you can write a detailed proposal and submit it later. By the way, talking about this. The Crescent Chamber of Commerce seemed to recommend it to me last time Got a... what's that?"
"Magic monitoring system, Your Majesty the Duke." the staff responded.
"Yes, it's this magic monitoring system. The guy from the Crescent Chamber of Commerce said that with this thing, everything that happened in a certain place can be recorded completely through magic illusions. Then if something happens, You can easily find out what’s going on through this magic monitoring system, which can save a lot of effort.”
"Well, this is indeed a very novel system. I visited it last time when the Crescent Chamber of Commerce demonstrated it. The effect was very good, the magic illusion was very clear, as if everything that happened at that time was perfectly repeated. It was very Magical." The staff also praised it.
"Then what do you think...if this magic monitoring system is deployed everywhere in Doral City, wouldn't it be able to prevent many problems?" The young Duke of Windsor asked again.
"This..." The staff member frowned deeply. "I'm afraid it's not appropriate..."
"Why is it inappropriate?"
"Your Excellency, this magic monitoring system is good, but if it is deployed throughout Doral City, doesn't it mean that every move of everyone in Doral City must be monitored by this system?"
"Isn't this exactly the result I want?" The little Duke of Windsor glared. "If we could control every move of everyone in the city at any time, who would dare to cause trouble? As for kidnapping, don't even think about it!"
"But... forget about ordinary civilians. Those nobles and big businessmen may not want their every move to be monitored..."
"Idiot, do you think I will really make it impossible to install it everywhere? Obviously, it only needs to be installed in the streets of the city. It is impossible to install this thing in other people's homes, right?" At this point, Xiao The Duke of Windsor's eyes suddenly lit up. "Huh? Speaking of which, we can definitely make some arrangements in the City Lord's Mansion to make the City Lord's Mansion much safer."
The staff member couldn't help but twitch his mouth, thinking that if this magic monitoring system was installed everywhere in the city lord's palace, wouldn't his affair with the maid with a pair of big breasts in the city lord's palace be exposed immediately
He wanted to persuade, but he couldn't open his mouth to dissuade him. After thinking about it, he could only cough lightly and reminded: "Your Majesty, the matter of the city lord's palace should be discussed later. Let's discuss the deployment of the magic monitoring system in the city first. Well... I thought about it. Regarding the scope of monitoring, we can carefully select it to ensure that it will not cause resentment to the big shots in the city and that we can monitor the whole city. The difficulty is... how to ensure this. Is a huge system effective? ”
"Technical issues are something that the Crescent Chamber of Commerce should consider." The young Duke of Windsor waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "If the Crescent Chamber of Commerce cannot solve this problem, then it is not qualified to sell this magic monitoring system to me. "
"Well, that's true. Crescent Chamber of Commerce has the technical support of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I think it shouldn't be difficult to achieve this request." The staff nodded, and then showed a hint of worry. "But Your Majesty the Duke... there is still a very important problem that needs to be solved... "
"what is the problem?"
"That's finance." The staff member spread his hands and said helplessly: "If you want to fully deploy such a huge magic monitoring system, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money. And if you want to maintain this system forever, it will definitely have to continue. If you really plan to do this, you must be mentally prepared.”
"Money..." The young Duke of Windsor rubbed his chin, thought carefully for a while, then looked down at the official document in his hand, and nodded slowly. "Since it is Doral City's magic surveillance system, the money will of course come from Doral City's finances."
The staff member sighed inwardly.
The Duke talked passionately for a long time, but when it came time to finally pay, he still pushed it to Doral City in an instant.
Although the finances of Doral City are closely related to the finances of the Southern Province, fiscal expenditures from Doral City and fiscal expenditures from the Southern Province are completely different concepts.
The construction of this magic monitoring system is the opinion of the Duke, and represents the wishes of the southern province and the Governor's Palace. Now that Doral City's finances are required to fund it, I'm afraid there will be objections from the Doral City Lord's Palace.
"Your Majesty the Duke, I think... our Governor's Mansion should set an example and advocate this matter first? This way it can be promoted on a wider scale. Do you think if every city in the southern province has such magic surveillance in the future? System, then the security and stability of the entire southern province will definitely be greatly improved. Not only will a similar time not happen again, but your control over the entire southern province will obviously be better."
The little Duke of Windsor frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and nodded slowly.
"That's fine. Anyway, this magic monitoring system can't be rolled out on a large area as soon as it comes up. It has to be experimented. Okay, let the Governor's Mansion do it first... How do you say that? By the way, do it first. You are a fool! Contact the Crescent Chamber of Commerce soon and tell them our needs!”
The staff member exhaled softly and smiled.
"Okay, Your Majesty the Duke." (~^~)
