Field's words left his lips, but they failed to achieve the effect he had imagined.
Among the two Black Castle Inspectors, Keith nodded although.
However, Bulvo fell into deep thought alongside; he examined Colin carefully, harboring some doubts in his heart.
Swoosh!
At this moment, another Wizard arrived, wearing a gold Patrol Team insignia at his waist, revealing his identity.
——This was a patrolling Black Castle Inspector!
"What's happening here?" the new Black Castle Inspector asked the same question.
Field, looking up from below and recognizing his face, suddenly showed a look of surprise.
This new Black Castle Inspector was a Wizard he knew, and a member of the Hidosh Family just like him!
The influence of the Pureblood Families was deeply rooted among the Schools, with the Hidosh Family being one of the most powerful factions; their members, like those of a few other families, were spread throughout every institution of the Tin Saint School.
Black Castle was naturally no exception.
That new Black Castle Inspector, Mo'er, now also spotted Field below.
His stern demeanor softened imperceptibly, but quickly, he pretended to notice nothing, turning his head to look at the others present.
Upon seeing Bulvo and the other, his expression shifted slightly as he said with some surprise, "Lord Bulvo and Keith... What brings you here?"
"It's a long story," Bulvo shook his head. He moved closer to Mo'er and transmitted to him telepathically,
"There has been a battle here, with members of the School perishing. That handsome young Wizard is our recent surveillance target; we followed him here."
Bulvo's brief words contained a wealth of information, but Mo'er captured the most critical point—School members perishing?
This was no small matter...
Mo'er's expression grew solemn.
Next, with a stern face and a businesslike manner, he carefully questioned Bulvo, as well as Field and Colin who were present below.
He finally understood the specifics of the situation.
'Yasi, that waste, dead—and by a First Rank Wizard no less...'
Mo'er felt somewhat of a headache.
Yasi's death might have been a relief, but it had left a mess for the Family... And then there was Colin, the suspected Divine Undercover.
The situation was a bit complicated.
Mo'er looked up and calmly surveyed the crowd, his eyes flashing an imperceptible hint of anger when meeting Field's gaze.
Field's heart trembled slightly, knowing that Mo'er blamed him for assisting Yasi in such a matter.
'But it's all Joyce's fault for doting on his nephew Yasi so much! Had he not pleaded with me, I wouldn't have acted...'
Field felt somewhat panicked, fearing punishment from the Family.
He looked at Mo'er, wanting to speak, but ultimately remained silent, cooperating with Mo'er, maintaining a professional demeanor as if they were strangers.
Although both were Second Rank Wizards, he as a Steward responsible for Witch Array maintenance could not compare with Mo'er, an Inspector of the Black Castle, in status within the Family.
Given the current situation, he chose to fully cooperate with Mo'er.
Mo'er's gaze finally settled on Colin and the others, and with an emotionless voice, he addressed them sternly,
"The death of a Second Rank Wizard is no small matter, you will need to accompany me to Black Castle for further investigation."
Having said this, Mo'er signaled to Bulvo and planned to take Colin and the others back to Black Castle for investigation.
Bulvo nodded slightly in response.
It was the tacit understanding between the Black Castle Inspectors.
Mo'er was aware they were monitoring for suspected Divine Believers in Neustadt City.
Indeed, nearly the entire Black Castle Inspector manpower was involved in the operation codenamed Crimson, commanded by the Supreme Council and proposed by Councilman Nois.
Operation Crimson began with the Nine Major Schools, each screening within themselves, then guiding their affiliated Schools to commence the operation.
After the affiliated Schools completed initial screening and surveillance, they would continue to direct orders to their subordinate Schools for screening.
So Operation Crimson cascaded down through the levels, now encompassing Wizard Schools within the top five hundred in terms of comprehensive strength and size in Neustadt, all cooperating in this operation.
All Wizards suspected of being Divine Undercovers were included in the Inspector's surveillance.
Criteria for judgment were simple, such as discussing the benefits offered to Wizards siding with the Divine, proclaiming oneself as a Heroic Wizard, and so forth.
But there were also more profound indicators, like having traveled to the Southern Sea Domain in the past two years, unusual progress in Wizarding Levels, or a keen interest in gathering sensitive intelligence.
Therefore, understanding Colin was Bulvo's target, Mo'er chose to cooperate timely with Bulvo and take Colin to Black Castle for further investigation.
It should be noted that the entire content of Operation Crimson was only to surveil without further actions, seemingly with the sole objective of identifying Wizards in Neustadt suspected of being Divine Undercovers.
However, what Bulvo didn't expect was, apart from Mo'er's cooperation which conveniently brought Colin back to Black Castle, there were other intentions behind his actions.
Mo'er slowly levitated, waving his hand for Colin and the others to follow.
"Then I shall take my leave, Lord Mo'er."
Field, seeing this, tentatively addressed Mo'er.
"Hmm," Mo'er nodded lightly.
Hearing this, Field felt a huge weight lift from his shoulders, finally relaxing.
