Baron Cullen

Just as the four teammates were trying to ease the tension for Karen, he waved his hand and then looked at Tyron:

"Captain, you're joking. As the captain of our seventh squad, you are not only exceptionally capable, but you are also far more experienced than us."

We naturally need your guidance on work arrangements.

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and his words were also a way to give the other party a way out.

After all, continuing this stalemate will only affect our work.

Although Tyrone was unhappy, he didn't dare to delay too long, considering that the investigation order for this mission was personally signed by Fiona, the leader.

So he snorted and said, "Fine, then I'll say something."

Although the interrogation of Lord Duwell Ralph has temporarily come to an end, the matter of the magic book has not been fully investigated, and that arcane society is probably not simple.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, we need to ask Mr. Dewey Ralph to come with us temporarily. We will personally escort you back after this matter is resolved.

Having said that, seemingly to demonstrate his status as the Order Keeper squad leader, he didn't care whether Dewell Ralph agreed or not, and directly signaled Jack and Allen to arrest the latter.

Seeing this, Karen said nothing more.

However, he actually quite agreed with Tyron's decision.

Duvel Ralph doesn't seem to be a major suspect, but it's hard to guarantee that he might secretly inform the Secret Society out of fear or other reasons.

Therefore, monitoring it temporarily is a more prudent approach.

After this brief incident, the current head of the Ralph family, Dewell Ralph, was taken away by several people and returned to the Order of the Order branch.

...

Meanwhile, the Order Keepers branch.

In a room filled with a vast collection of documents related to the supernatural, Martha Gillian stood alone before a large, long table.

The table was spotless, with only the magic book that Karen had given it on it.

At this moment, the surface of the magic book was encased in several soft halos of light.

However, these halos appeared extremely unstable, constantly being slowly eroded by the dark red energy emanating from the magic book, showing faint signs of completely collapsing.

Martha's face was even paler than before, and fine beads of cold sweat even appeared on her forehead.

She has read through a lot of information about spells and tried various methods to try to trace the source of the spell attached to this magic book.

But without exception, they all failed.

The spell was like a malevolent being, not only resisting her probing but also actively releasing a chilling mental attack, attempting to corrupt her will.

"Damn it! What kind of curse is this?" Martha cursed under her breath.

As a fourth-order wizard, she was quite skilled in sorcery, but when faced with this book, she felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

Opening the magic book, the spells and runes recorded on each page were perfectly normal, with no sign of anything unusual.

But the curse attached to it is like a malignant tumor, which cannot be eliminated and its source cannot be traced.

She suppressed her mental discomfort and carefully separated a wisp of extraordinary element, reaching towards the spellbook like a tentacle.

This time, she didn't try to forcefully break the spell, but instead tried to track it by sensing its energy properties.

But the moment her extraordinary element touched the surface of the book, a strange change occurred!

hum!

The magic book trembled violently, and a burst of dark red light suddenly erupted!

A malevolent aura, ten times stronger than before, suddenly erupted, instantly breaking through the several binding halos she had cast!

Immediately afterwards, an indistinct shadow appeared from the magic book and then struck her directly between the eyebrows!

Martha was horrified!

In a hurry, she quickly activated her extraordinary elements to create three barriers composed of fourth-order spells in front of her, while simultaneously taking several steps back.

boom!

The three barriers were as fragile as paper in front of that phantom, and shattered one after another in no time!

Martha felt a force filled with resentment forcefully invade her body!

"Ah!" she cried out in pain, her pupils contracting. "This is... a curse!"

She felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow, staggering back several steps before bumping into a shelf filled with various documents behind her and barely managing to regain her balance.

However, at this moment, she felt as if countless vengeful spirits were shrieking in her mind, her vision was turning black, and even the extraordinary elements in her body were becoming chaotic!

"What terrifying curse power!"

Fortunately, the curse within her was not the spell itself.

As a fourth-tier wizard, she had extensive knowledge of curses and quickly eliminated the curse power after casting several fourth-tier spells.

"call…"

At this moment, Martha, who had breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the magic book on the table again.

The phantom figure that had just launched the attack completely disintegrated afterward, without undergoing any further unknown changes.

The room returned to calm.

It was as if the automatic counterattack program of the spell attached to the magic book had just been triggered.

"How could this happen..."

Martha leaned against the cold metal frame, her face filled with shock and lingering fear.

She never expected the book to be so bizarre and dangerous, not only unable to trace its origin, but also possessing a terrifying anti-tracking barrier.

However, there is one thing she can confirm.

The spells attached to this magic book were far more than just fifth-tier spells; the evil aura and immense power they contained far exceeded her imagination.

With this in mind, Martha had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​tracing the source of the curse.

Only Fiona, a sixth-tier transcendent being, could handle this level of power.

After briefly reporting the situation to the other party through the magic crystal bracelet on her wrist, she took out an exquisite iron box and sealed the magic book inside.

...

After returning from Ralph's mansion, Karen and the four members of the Seventh Squad compiled the intelligence they had gathered into a detailed report, which they then handed over to Captain Tyron.

According to the rules of the order maintainers, any squad's report must be submitted by its leader.

However, before submitting the report to Deputy Chief Bright, Tyron secretly changed the person in charge of most of the work in the report to himself.

In this way, if he were to receive praise from above, he would undoubtedly receive a more generous reward, as he had contributed the most and was the team leader.

But just as he handed the revised report to Bright, Bright, after reading it once, suddenly asked:

"Tyron, can you guarantee the authenticity of this report?"

This question sent a chill down Tyron's spine.

However, he thought that his team had indeed questioned Dewey Ralph in detail, and the information they obtained was not fabricated at all.

It was simply a matter of replacing Karen with himself in charge of the interrogation.

Of course, he also became the main person who compiled the clues into a report.

Thinking of this, Tyron seemed to believe it himself and nodded, saying, "What are you saying, Deputy Chief?"

Our Seventh Squad has always been pragmatic and dedicated to completing every mission to the best of our ability; we absolutely cannot cheat!
