Ling Ling flipped open her electronic map and noticed that Dawn Island was still marked as a domestication base!
In other words, the map had not been updated for almost ten years. Dawn Island had long been occupied by the Featherless Birds that no one was looking after. They had turned the island into their nest!
"Large-scale domestication of demon beasts by private individuals is simply harming people," Jiang Shaoxu said.
Jiang Shaoxu's family was in the military. She was well aware of the problem of domesticating demon beasts.
The Heavenly Eagle Domestication Base was the only one that had the ability to domesticate demon beasts on a large scale. The smaller domestication bases were usually located outside the safe zone, just in case something went wrong.
Domesticating demon beasts was indeed a violent industry. After all, there were only a limited number of Summoners in the world. Summoned Beasts were the exclusive property of Summoners. Some demon beasts were suitable to be mounts for Battlemages, as they could assist in battles. However, demon beasts that were not domesticated, no matter how docile they were, could easily massacre humans in their territories.
The Heavenly Eagle Domestication Base of the military was quite mature. When the White Magic Falcons invaded the human territory, they had to be killed. Otherwise, it would be considered domesticating demon beasts!
"Twenty years ago, some of the leaders of Wanggui Town invested in Dawn Island. They were planning to rely on the domestication base on Dawn Island to develop into a famous city along the East Coast. However, after the international tycoon went bankrupt and ran away, the government's economy suffered a huge loss. To prevent the Councilmen from finding out the truth, they even abandoned Dawn Island!" Tangyue said.
"Those officials are seriously …" Zhao Manyan wanted to curse, but he held his tongue when he realized there were so many women around.
"What about the officials? Did you take care of them?" Mofan asked.
"How did we take care of them? Those officials aren't idiots. It happened ten years ago. They have long been transferred to other places and are still doing whatever they want. Why would they care about Wanggui Town? The new mayor came here around two years ago. He initially thought Dawn Island was just a deserted island. However, when he sent his men to investigate the island, they all died. The mayor was so scared that he burst into tears," Tangyue said.
"This mayor is really unlucky," Mofan said.
Ten years ago, the group of officials left behind such a huge mess in Wanggui Town. In order not to affect their careers, they covered it up and kept it a secret. Then, they were transferred to other places in the past ten years. When the new officials came to take over ten years later, they discovered that this mess was no longer a mess, but a demon island!
In just ten years, the Featherless Birds could reproduce for many generations. The places that were used as breeding grounds were suitable for the Featherless Birds. Dawn Island had basically become a breeding ground for the Featherless Birds. Ten years ago, the Featherless Birds were just hatchlings, but ten years later, they would become an entire horde of demon creatures!
"The Featherless Bird that the tycoon chose is one of the strongest breeds in terms of reproduction and growth. Dawn Island's enclosed environment allowed the Featherless Birds to form their own tribe," Tang Yue said.
"So the real problem of Wanggui Town isn't the poisonous creature, but the Featherless Birds on Dawn Island?" Ling Ling asked.
Tang Yue nodded. They were in the restaurant just now. There were too many people around, so she did not tell them the truth.
"As a matter of fact, the problem was discovered more than a month ago. Unfortunately, the Enforcement Union is having a hard time dealing with it, so we can only observe it for now. The poisonous creature is only one of the small problems that the Featherless Birds have on Dawn Island. We have to deal with it as soon as possible, "Tang Yue said.
"No wonder a Magistrate like you would come all the way here just because of a poisonous creature. It turns out that the Featherless Birds on Dawn Island are a huge threat," Mofan said.
"Mm, of course I have to keep an eye on the Featherless Birds on Dawn Island. My men aren't able to deal with such a small problem. It's giving me a headache," Tang Yue rubbed her temples.
"HAHA, I was wondering why you were so angry," Mofan said.
"I've investigated it. Before the sea level rose, there weren't that many Featherless Birds, but after the sea level rose, they grew stronger day by day, as if they were fed with hormones," Tang Yue said.
"Maybe some kind of resource that they lack has been washed to them by the sea," Ling Ling said.
"That's what I thought too. If it doesn't work, I'll have to leave it to Zhu Meng, "Tang Yue said.
Zhu Meng was a Councilman in charge of the Threat-Elimination Strategy. He was the one who was most in charge of the matter. However, it was considered dereliction of duty for the Enforcement Union to leave it to a busy Councilman. Tang Yue had been trying to figure out a way to solve the problem. If she could not come up with a solution in half a month, she would have no choice but to report it to the higher-ups.
That being said, the result of the report was that she would be demoted from her position as the Vice Magistrate.
Tang Yue was not like the officials who were trying to hide the truth. She did not want the Featherless Birds on Dawn Island to grow any stronger.
"It wasn't easy for you to become the Vice Magistrate. It's such a pity to be demoted," Ling Ling said.
"It's better than making the situation worse," Tang Yue said.
"We were planning to go to Dawn Island to look for the Totem Seal, but it looks like we're stuck here, too," Ling Ling glanced at Jiang Shaoxu. Jiang Shaoxu felt helpless too.
She said she did not want to meddle in other people's business, but Dawn Island was no longer the same as before. It was now occupied by a bunch of Featherless Birds that had failed to tame them!
"Miss Tangyue, your trouble is my trouble. Just leave it to us," Mo Fan patted his chest and said in a courteous manner.
"Thank you, but I don't think it's going to be easy to deal with. I'm only telling you this because I've been feeling too depressed lately. I feel a lot more relaxed now that I can talk to you about it," Tang Yue said.
Tang Yue left as she had other matters to attend to.
Mo Fan could tell that Tang Yue had been troubled by the matter for a long time. Her mental state and temperament had changed a little. Mo Fan's heart ached when he saw this.
After watching Tang Yue leave, Jiang Shaoxu, who was sitting beside Mo Fan, shoved Mo Fan hard and snapped, "Your brain is almost soaked in her breasts. You swore you were going straight for the Totem Seal when you set off, but look at you now, you're completely infatuated with your beautiful teacher. Are you having an affair with her?"
"She's my teacher in high school. You have no idea how much I admired her when I first learned about magic. Furthermore, I'm willing to bet that all the boys in our grade have missed their afternoon naps because of this Ms. Tangyue. She's not just our magic teacher … Now that she's in trouble, as her student, I have to help her! "Mo Fan said righteously.
"Mm, Mo Fan is right," Zhao Manyan nodded.
