Chapter 364 Smuggling
In the magistrate's office, Sophia's face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out.
She just finished her call with Lucas.
During the call, Lucas claimed that he had contacted himself secretly and had successfully sneaked into the First Diocese, allowing her to quickly find a way to return to the headquarters of the Science Inquisition to complete the so-called "Central Flowering" plan.
However, Sofia had no idea when Lucas came into contact with herself!
This made her feel like she was being played with by Lucas.
But during the call, Sofia dared not refuse to agree to his request. If she dared to betray Lucas, he only needed to reveal his identity as a wizard and he would be tied to a stolen rack within three days.
She wanted to find a chance to get rid of Lucas, but Lucas, the old fox, didn't give her a chance to meet!
After thinking about it, he didn't think of any good idea. Sophia had no choice but to go to the First Diocese to take a gamble.
Although she was very suspicious to go to the headquarters of the Science Inquisition during this sensitive period, she was better than directly fighting Lucas.
Thinking of this, she ordered to the scientific knight patrolling at the door: "Isidor, come here!"
Isidor pushed the door and entered the room. Before Sofia could say something, he took the initiative to speak: "Major Sofia, I was just about to report to you. We seemed to be secretly targeted by the guy Antimos. There were many suspicious people walking around at the door of your office. These guys from the internal control committee had poor ability to move. In the eyes of people like me who worked on the anti-wizard line for many years, their so-called secret stalking is no different from running naked."
While Isidor reported, he did not forget to belittle the business capabilities of the Internal Control Committee.
Sophia barely smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Sure enough, our previous actions are likely to have left some flaws and were targeted by someone who is interested."
Isidor didn't know about Lucas. He thought Sophia was talking about doing something about El Salvador, and he couldn't help but wonder: "How could they doubt our heads? We shouldn't leave any flaws in this action!"
"I don't know either!" Sophia crossed her hands and held her chin and pondered, "But their choice to keep an eye on her secret rather than arresting us directly, which means that they have no evidence in their hands, they are just simply suspicious of us."
Since Isidor got on Sofia's pirate ship, his courage has become much bigger. He saw a ruthless look in his eyes: "Would we just do it all the time and kill the roots and make that bastard Antimos too! I've long been unhappy with that guy!"
Sofia shook her head: "He is the second-in-command of the Internal Control Committee of the Seventh Diocese. If he died while catching up, our suspicion would be too great! Besides, Lucas and his wizards would not be able to provide us with such a good opportunity. This time, the attack on the garrison of the Seventh Diocese has probably lost all his money."
Isidor asked quickly: "What should I do? I will obey your instructions in everything!"
Sophia had a certain plan in her mind and continued to fool her: "I need you to cover me up and go to the First Diocese!"
Isidor indeed thought it was a bad idea: "Are you looking for your backer in the First Diocese to help?"
Seeing that the scientific knight in front of me is so good at scheming, Sophia smiled reluctantly: "That's right! I'm going to take you to work in other parishes and stay away from this place of trouble for the time being. After all, I have been excellent in my assessment results in the past few years. I have been transferred to other parishes and the head of the internal control committee, and I have been barely qualified. This action must be fast, so as not to have too many dreams!"
The scapegoat Isidor doubted it, and continued to ask: "How long will you be leaving this time?"
"Give me two days, can you do it? Don't let Antimos find out that I went to the First Diocese!"
Isidor thought for a while and said, "It should be OK! But I need to prepare in advance. Despite this, I cannot guarantee that everything will be foolproof."
Sofia said half-truely: "It doesn't matter. Even if they really find it out, as long as I arrive at the First Diocese, they will not be able to call me back. Without excuses, even the head of the Internal Control Committee is not qualified to limit the freedom of movement of the scientific judge."
A hint of envy flashed in Isidor's eyes: "Then there is no problem, please go and go back quickly! If you are transferred to other parishes in the future, I still need you to promote them!"
“It’s natural.”
Sophia said this on the surface, but sighed in her heart.
Even she herself doesn’t know if she has any future to go to the First Diocese!
Isidor was not sure about Sofia's concerns, so the two discussed their next plans, so Sofia was ready to take advantage of the night to set off for the First Diocese overnight.
...
The Seventh Diocese Internal Control Committee.
Antimos asked the Cavalier Simon, a close confidant, and said, "On the first day of stalking, is there anything unusual about the referee Sophia?"
Simon Knight shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything unusual. The referee Sophia didn't come out after entering the office. The three meals and documents a day were sent in by her new guard Isidor."
"Has anyone ever been in and out of her office?"
"Two groups of people have been in, and they seem to be scientific knights under the Population and Education Commission."
It seemed that there was no problem, Antimos waved his hand: "Continue to keep watching, report it to me if there is any abnormality!"
"OK!"
...
Under the border wall of the seventh parish.
A scientific knight captain who was responsible for patrolling the city wall asked a black-robed science knight outside the city gate: "Who are you? Why are you going to the First Diocese?"
The science knight outside the city gate took out a golden ribbon from his arms and hung it on his shoulders, and took off his black hood to reveal the face of a beautiful woman.
The patrolling science knight showed a look of surprise and suspicion: "Magister Sofia?"
Sofia, who had arrived at the border wall secretly, looked calm and said to the patrol captain: "Yes, I am Sofia, the magistrate of the Population and Education Committee, and is preparing to go to the headquarters of the referee to report the situation."
The patrol captain had no doubt at all and quickly said, "It is now the martial law period. Any cross-diges operation requires permission signed by the referee himself. Can the referee show it?"
Sofia nodded: "Of course I have this!"
As she said that, she took out a wrinkled document, which was indeed signed by Referee Dimitri.
The Science Knight took out the signature template and compared it. He found no flaws for a while, and nodded and said, "Wait a moment, I need to report to the Internal Control Committee."
Sofia frowned and said, "I have a special task--"
Before he could finish his words, a sirens suddenly came from the city wall.
Immediately afterwards, someone shouted on the city wall: "Emergency! A gap appeared on the border walls of the First Diocese and the Seventh Diocese, and it was highly suspected that a wizard had carried out smuggling. The three magistrates have ordered that all the patrol knight captains on duty today will immediately go to the headquarters of the Wall Knights' Order for a meeting!"
The patrol captain is also an old man in the referee system, so he immediately realized that he was going to choose someone to take the blame!
Sofia looked at the patrol captain in front of her with an anxious look. She said half of what she said, but she stopped talking.
"Please take care of yourself, I'm going to have a meeting!"
The patrol captain did not care about verifying the situation, so he put away Sophia's forged signature of the referee, threw down a sentence, and rushed to the headquarters of the Wall Patrol Knights.
Sofia smiled, sorted out her clothes, and then entered the First Diocese as if nothing had happened.
The wizard who is now capable of breaking through the border wall of the Seventh Diocese can only be President Lucas.
Since Lucas has successfully infiltrated the First Diocese, the headquarters of the Science Inquisition, she said she would go to anything.
