"Teacher, you should've informed me before you visited."
The head of Noland's Law Enforcement Department, Sike, poured a cup of hot tea for his teacher.
"Inform? Did I tell you to prepare beforehand to hide those shameful things? "
The yellow-clothed man glanced at his disciple. The little boy who used to follow behind him and shout "One day, I will become like you" had now grown into a middle-aged man with a scraggly beard.
"There are indeed some shameful things, but they're all monsters and alchemy lifeforms captured from all over Noland."
Sike appeared very magnanimous in front of the yellow-clothed man, not at all fearful and reserved because of the man's identity as a sage.
"It's just that your sudden visit would scare the youngsters. You're notorious in Noland," he said.
This sentence caused the yellow-clothed man to stop raising his teacup for a moment. His long beard also trembled slightly because of his anger. In the end, he suppressed this anger and once again let out an almost indiscernible sigh.
The yellow-clothed man's temper was the worst among the seven sages. For some reason, such rumors had spread among the spellcasters of Noland.
This also caused most young spellcasters, especially his disciple, to appear very fearful when they spoke to him.
It was as if the person standing before him was not his teacher, but a monster that could spit lightning from his eyes at any time and turn him into ashes.
"My temper from many years ago can't be changed." The yellow-clothed man finished his sigh and downed the tea in his teacup.
"But if you want more young spellcasters in Noland to accept you, you'll have to control your temper." Sike had just witnessed the might of the yellow-clothed man's' notoriety '. He alone was able to intimidate the entire Noland Law Enforcement Department.
Since the establishment of the Noland Law Enforcement Department, only the former head of the department could do that.
"Why don't you try going the 'idol' route? It's a popular phrase in the spellcaster forum. Teacher, don't you see that there are many commoners who didn't even have a reputation in the beginning … "
Before Sike could finish his sentence, the teacup in his hand shattered into pieces, and the tea inside was still floating in mid-air.
"Sike, if you weren't one of my best students, the price of that joke just now wouldn't be as simple as a broken teacup." The yellow-clothed man's voice finally turned cold.
"I … I'm just speaking the truth, mentor. This is indeed a chance to change your reputation in Noland. According to the law enforcement department's investigation, there are many youngsters in Noland who are very interested in 'television'." Sike continued to court death without knowing anything.
"Even if I die, I won't do such a stupid thing." The man in yellow placed the teacup back on the table, and a sheepskin scroll sealed with a wax seal appeared in his hand.
There was an extremely complicated inscription on the wax seal. When Sike saw the inscription, his joking expression turned serious.
The meaning of this inscription represented the Noland's Sage Council, which was the highest authority in the Noland.
"Teacher, is the topic of the Sage Council related to the law enforcement department?" Sike asked.
"It has nothing to do with the law enforcement department. They just need to handle it."
An inscription similar to the wax seal appeared in the man in yellow's hand, and the sheepskin scroll unfurled in mid-air under the control of mana.
"A ban on 'television'?"
Sike quickly scanned through the contents of the sheepskin scroll and immediately understood that it was a ban on television. The signature on it was from the yellow-clothed sage, and after that, two other sages also signed their names.
"Why? I think the appearance of 'television' is beneficial to Noland," Sike asked in confusion.
"Do you still remember the Magic Addiction Stone? Sike. "
The man in yellow asked the middle-aged man in front of him. When he heard the words' Magic Addiction Stone ', his serious expression gradually turned gloomy.
"How could I forget the thing that killed my parents, mentor …" Sike said.
This disciple of the man in yellow was one of the victims of the Magic Addiction Stone incident. Sike's parents, who were poisoned by the stone, died tragically in front of him.
"In the beginning, there were spellcasters who said that the Magic Addiction Stone was harmless and could greatly increase the growth of their mana. But what happened in the end? You know better than me how tragic the fate of those who were affected by the Magic Addiction Stone is. "
The man in yellow used a calm tone to describe a fact that could not be refuted.
"That magical machine called 'television' is different from the Magic Addiction Stone." Sike insisted on his own opinion.
"It corrodes the minds of young spellcasters," the man in yellow interrupted him in a low voice. The man in yellow interrupted him in a low voice, "Your subordinates are the same. For the sake of those so-called TV shows and those opera singers and actors, they've forgotten their instincts as spellcasters and the work they're supposed to do. This has already happened in all four Advanced Magic Academies of Norland!"
"But mentor."
Sike stood up and walked to a wall in the office. On the wall was a bird 's-eye view of Noland. He drew a few special markings on the huge painting.
"If you really want to ban the 'television', it's impossible for us, the law enforcement department of Noland, to do it alone."
"Impossible? With the authority of the law enforcement department, it's a simple matter to destroy the magical machines that appear in various parts of Noland, "the man in yellow said.
"It's indeed simple to destroy them, but it's not just the people who created the 'television' who will come out to stop it, but … the people of Noland."
Pale white magical inscriptions appeared in Sike's hand. A charcoal pen floated in the air, pointing at the marked spots on the map.
"According to the information we gathered on the spellcaster forum, the organization called the Voice of Noland has a total of 270,000 viewers, and the number is still rising. If we include the audience that listens to and watches the Voice of Noland in public, there might be another 500,000 to 100,000," Sike explained.
"That's a huge number, close to a fifth of the population of Noland."
"They can't …" The man in yellow was about to say that the people wouldn't openly go against the law enforcement department of Noland for the television.
However, he suddenly recalled the young man named Kaja whom he met in the hall.
If the audience of the Voice of Noland were like Kaja … It was really possible.
The man in yellow was sure that the young man's gaze was serious. Without his colleagues to stop him, the young man would start a war with a sage of Noland over a protocrystal.
At this thought, the man in yellow looked at the densely packed markings on the map. They were all places where the 'television' appeared.
