All the participants were silent.
According to the information collected after the tragedy years ago.
The Box of Dead Souls was actually a toy of Purcell, the God of Opera, who had fallen into depravity. As a God of Good, he loved human laughter and all the beautiful arts!
But after he fell into depravity, he began to pursue all kinds of negative emotions that belonged to humans, such as anger, sadness, selfishness, loss, fear, despair, hatred, jealousy, inferiority, greed … and drew power from them!
Driven by his instincts, he wantonly created disasters among humans, directing one tragedy after another! The more miserable and painful the mortals were, the more power he could draw from them.
Eight years ago.
He was the target of the Wales family's worship, and also the cause of their destruction.
The Box of Dead Souls was created based on this evil god's characteristics. If it was left in a deserted place, the box that couldn't move on its own wouldn't be very harmful.
But once the box was opened, seven Man Killer Fiends with all kinds of strange abilities would be released (seven was considered the most magical number, and in fact, many mysterious creations and witchcraft rituals were related to the number seven). They would follow established rules and kill people crazily!
At first, the Man Killer Fiends only had the power of a Junior Transcendent, and their targets were limited to ordinary people.
But as time went by and the number of victims increased, the seven Man Killer Fiends would become stronger and stronger. If they weren't restrained and were allowed to grow on their own, they would naturally reach Transcendent Rank-3 in a week and seven days, and be comparable to a Human Great Knight!
By then, they would become a true Transcendent disaster, and it would only be a matter of time before the seven Great Knight level experts destroyed a city.
Not to mention, New Haven was a bit special …
A tragedy had already happened eight years ago, but fortunately, a Transcendent expert intervened in time and prevented a greater disaster.
What about this time?
Faced with the consul's question.
Charlie, the representative of the Royal Naval College, answered directly.
"The words of the president of Princeton are the evidence! And I've already brought the information to you, whether you want to believe it or not, it's up to you.
But I must remind you again, it's different now from eight years ago, Her Highness Levina is right here watching you! "
His words caused everyone present to tremble in fear.
"Phew —, I have no more questions! To prevent panic, I think we should temporarily seal off the news and send more people to search for the Man Killer Fiend and Dead Soul Box's hiding place! "
The consul used his authority to suppress the crowd and made the final decision.
"Seconded! A Man Killer Fiend's power isn't something a normal person can handle, whether it's outside or at home, hiding or not won't change the outcome "
"Seconded! We must resolve the root cause of the incident as soon as possible to prevent further damage. "
"Seconded!"
'Human lives can be sacrificed, but the factories must not be stopped, the shops must not be closed, and the economic lifeline must not be severed!' The gentlemen agreed one after another, but this was the only thing that no one could say out loud …
"I order the Crowmen to be the main force and the City Guard to assist. From now on, they would patrol non-stop until they found that damned box and dealt with the source! Your Excellency Diesel, thank you for your hard work. "The Consul then spoke to the Crowmen's chief officer, Diesel.
"It's my duty!"
The Crowmen's chief officer, Diesel, once again stood up and bowed. Although his hair was already white, his words were firm, giving everyone a sense of security.
"I have another question. Although there are only 7 Man Killer Fiends, they were born as Supernaturals, and only Supernaturals can fight against Supernaturals.
I don't mean to offend, but the Crowmen and City Guard's Supernaturals aren't enough to deal with them right?
Furthermore, these monsters are getting stronger by the day, where do we find enough Supernaturals to protect our city? "
The City Guard Committee's representative who hadn't said anything until now finally voiced his doubts. His worries were very reasonable. Today, they might only be facing 7 Man Killer Fiends, so the City Guard's forces are enough, but what about tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow?
Today is already the second day, if they're unlucky and can't find them in time, then they'll have to face 7 Great Knight in 5 days.
Even then, they still have to face veteran Supernaturals and peak Supernaturals, the difference between each rank is huge.
"The Church will send members of the Iron Wall Knight Order and Demon Hunter Clergy to assist!"
"The Sea Hunter Guild will mobilize its members to gather information in time!"
"The First Fleet will send officers without missions to assist in the city's defense!"
"The Noble Alliance will send some private troops!"
The representatives of the major organizations all voiced their support, the current situation isn't something that a single party can deal with alone. If they can't deal with it properly and the disaster spreads, no one will be able to escape. Even if they manage to escape, with His Highness the Crown Prince watching over them, they won't be able to stay in the Faletis Kingdom.
After that, they all turned their gazes to the Royal Naval College's representative who didn't say anything. Although the Princeton Principal is New Haven's pillar of support and can't be easily moved, there's a decent force in the College that can be used as a backup.
"Sir Charlie, if I remember correctly, the most recent military officer training course is still in session, right?"
.....
Evening.
"Teacher, is this the crow market? It's so magical "
Angel was wearing a black robe, pulling Elvin's sleeve as they walked through New Haven's crow market.
Although she's much more cheerful than before, the habit she developed over the years still made her a little shy in crowded places.
Lizards with two heads, birds with colorful feathers that could speak, strange plants that looked like human hands, metal puppets that could move on their own … There were all kinds of "goods" that were rarely seen in the outside world in the Crow Bazaar, making her dizzy.
When the two of them arrived, the crow market was at its busiest.
"Angel, before we leave, you can choose one thing as your reward for becoming an apprentice!"
As expected of her innate talent, Angie had successfully activated her Spirit through her first meditation and officially stepped into the ranks of wizards. Although she was still a beginner apprentice, she already had a completely different future.
"Really, teacher?" Angel was pleasantly surprised. No matter how mature she was, she couldn't change the fact that she was still a child.
Elvin put down a stone sculpture in the style of the New World and patted her head gently. "Of course it's real."
"That's great!"
In the following "shopping", the little girl unleashed her female talent. It was as if she had received a "max energy" buff. She was so aggressive that she wanted to visit every stall in the crow market.
Elvin didn't stop her.
Although this was mainly a gathering place for mage-type Extraordinaires, it was rare to see materials and items that were too evil or dangerous. At least, they wouldn't be placed in the open. He didn't have to worry too much about Angel accidentally encountering dangers that she couldn't handle.
"Eh, Violet Eyes?"
