Chapter 552: 178. Emergency Plan_2
Moreover, the geographical position of the two magical ships was quite suspicious.
The magic ship that met with the accident 15 years ago was located in the deep-sea area more than two thousand kilometers southwest of the Kashel Continent. There was no village in sight, nor any supplies, and the nearest human settlement was thousands of kilometers away.
The magic ship that Noland Lee was on was sailing on the Blackfold Sea, equally desolate and uninhabited.
This kind of location seemed tailor-made for murder and robbery.
When recalling that the tracking data of Philia and Betty Davis clearly marked “worthless target, kill on the spot,” Noland’s sense of crisis intensified.
“Professor, what do you think I should do now?” Noland asked.
Erica pondered and responded:
“The top priority is to dispatch a law enforcement team of Wizard Enforcers to board the magic ship and control all the personnel of the Barron Championship. The mere charge of forging Ulnas gold coins is enough for the Wizard Enforcement Department to do so.
“This approach has a problem. The act of opening a teleportation gate would arouse the suspicion of those involved and may lead to disaster ahead of time. We need to contact Captain Berkeley and have him cooperate when the Wizard Enforcers teleport over, using magic metal to separate the suspicious personnel from the legitimate passengers. However…”
Erica paused, folded her arms, embraced the full moon, and transformed into a statue with a furrowed brow.
After much consideration, she voiced her deep concerns:
“But I suspect that Captain Berkeley is an accomplice of those suspicious parties.”
Noland was slightly startled, thought carefully, and nodded:
“It is indeed possible… As the captain, he would have had strict scrutiny of every boarding passenger. It is unlikely that the suspicious persons with obviously different physiological structures could evade Berkeley’s detection spell. The only explanation is that Berkeley colluded with the suspicious persons.”
Noland touched his forehead.
If that really was the case, then the situation on the magic ship was more complicated than imagined.
“Well, Jarvis, I have an idea.”
Erica regained her composure and said:
“The Wizard Enforcement Department has an emergency plan for dealing with major disasters about to happen. I will quickly compile the clues you discovered into a report and submit it to the Wizard Enforcement Department. In about an hour, the Enforcers will board the ship. This approach may harm the innocent by alerting the suspects, but there is no other way. We must be prepared for the worst. If Captain Berkeley is colluding with the suspicious persons, the disaster he causes will not be as simple as just harming the legal passengers.”
As Erica spoke, the magic pen on the pen holder flew up and began writing the document swiftly.
Using [Mage’s Hand], she took a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Noland:
“I will use a magic messenger to explain the situation to the Wizard Enforcement Department and Mabel of Elemental Judgement. At that time, you should cooperate with Mabel to open the Elemental Judgement teleportation gate, and the Enforcement Wizards will board the ship through the Elemental Judgement teleportation gate. Also, in case Mabel fails to open the teleportation gate, you should forcibly open our own teleportation gate.
“This book I am giving you records the spell and casting conditions for opening the ‘Court of Silence’ teleportation gate. I think it should be easy for you to learn it with your intelligence. The more troublesome part is that your spirit may not meet the requirements for opening the teleportation gate. But fortunately, you have companion witches. Denise can help you with that. The specific operation methods are documented in this book. You can take a look and find out.”
Noland took the magic book and glanced at the table of contents.
There wasn’t much content in the book, and he could learn it by spending at most half an hour in the Silent Yard. Of course, this “half an hour” was just for show. With his Deconstruction Technique, he could master the knowledge in a second.
“Alright, Professor.” Noland nodded.
“Before you study this magic book on your own, let me introduce the emergency plan in detail.”
Erica summoned tables and chairs and began teaching Noland about the essential details of the law enforcement plan like a class lesson.
In short, to deal with this kind of emergency event where the enemy’s strength and means were unknown and could cause significant disaster, the Wizard Enforcement Department had formulated an emergency plan called “Solidifying Disaster.”
The Wizard Enforcement Department would dispatch at least thirty Enforcement Wizards to the scene of the incident.
Among this law enforcement team, there would be an incredibly powerful combat wizard, usually a Tenth-Ring Wizard only one step away from becoming a Star Witch.
This combat wizard would use magic with law-breaking and binding effects to forcibly control the suspicious personnel on the scene.
Before this, to avoid injuring innocents, other members of the law enforcement team would evacuate the onlookers in advance and separately control the suspect personnel who may be involved in the case.
In addition to these details, there were many other matters in the plan.
As the two conversed, Erica’s magic pen continued to work.
About half an hour later, their conversation ended, and the magic pen had written two documents.
Erica checked them, walked to the parrot, and handed them over:
“Pudding, help me send two letters. Send the one with the red satin ribbon to the Wizard Enforcement Department. Send the one with the blue satin ribbon to Mabel of Elemental Judgement. Don’t mix them up.”
“Do you want a lollipop~” the parrot mimicked Jenny’s tone.
Erica’s body shivered slightly, and she sighed helplessly.
