Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 434: Silent Zone and Visser Kansa

"This is the live broadcast of the daily news. We are currently in the Silent Zone of Alpha City. From here we can clearly see the impact of the super-large-scale world rift event that just occurred. According to preliminary information, the rift suddenly occurred last night, causing the magic energy within a radius of several kilometers to go out of control. The situation on the scene is very serious."

"We can see that although emergency treatment has been carried out on the cracks, it will take some time to completely control them."

"The environment in the Silent Zone is extremely bad right now. The World Rift is continuously absorbing the surrounding magical energy. The magic power is severely depleted, which makes rescue more difficult. Moreover, long-term magic power depletion is likely to cause the magic power chain of the entire area to break."

Behind the reporter, a gray aura enveloped the sky of the entire area, flickering with irregular magical light.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge world rift that occupies most of the sky, with huge whirlpools appearing at the edge of the rift.

Even though it is far away from the ground, the buildings on the ground are still affected.

A large number of neatly arranged, tall buildings have basically developed cracks and damage, and many have collapsed.

Even though a night had passed, the shrill alarms could still be heard, as well as the cries and curses that came one after another.

Li Daoxian saw the images flashing in front of the camera. The plants withered and the land was barren. It was a very serious degradation phenomenon caused by the lack of magic power.

The reporter is right. If the situation continues to develop in this way, it will soon have a direct impact on the local food chain.

At this moment, the reporter on the news continued: "We can see now that the rescue team on the scene is doing their best to try to control the spread of the magic rift. At the same time, local government officials are holding an emergency meeting to decide on the next response measures. Now we will switch the screen to the press conference."

The next moment, the picture in the news changed.

At a makeshift press conference, an official looked solemn as he looked around at the dense crowd of reporters below.

In the magical image behind him, scenes of the Inspectorate agents trying to rescue were constantly playing.

He said in a heavy voice: "We feel heavy and deeply worried about the disaster. The appearance of the cracks exceeded our expectations. All relevant departments have activated the emergency response mechanism and are doing their utmost to protect the safety of residents. We are assessing the severity of the situation and will improve the rescue plan as soon as possible."

A reporter immediately asked: "I am a reporter from Wizard Daily. What is the reaction of the Wizard Association to this incident? Will it allocate resources for rescue?"

The official hesitated and replied:

"The Wizarding Association is currently discussing this, but there is no clear resource allocation plan yet. But no matter what, we will do our best to solve the problem first."

The reporter continued to ask: "It has been more than 18 hours since the disaster occurred, which is longer than the average rescue time. The aid plan has not been released yet. Is it related to the fact that the disaster occurred in the silent zone?"

The official flatly denied: "That's not the case. This disaster is far beyond the normal scale. There has not been a disaster of this scale in nearly a hundred years. We need time to collect information, evaluate safe routes, and develop evacuation plans. All of these take time. I want to say that we have done our best."

Another reporter continued to ask:

"I'm a reporter from Magic Voice. May I ask how many casualties there were in this disaster?"

The official breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied, "The casualties this time are better than expected. Because it happened in the Silent Zone, the impact of the magic power depletion on the citizens of the Silent Zone is minimal. This is a blessing in disguise."

If such a disaster occurred in other areas, once a vacuum environment with depleted magic power was created, any wizard below high level within the range would have no chance of survival.

Another reporter stood up and said, "I'm a reporter from Today's News. I'd like to ask if the suddenness of this disaster and the serious consequences it caused are related to the weak defense facilities in the Quiet Zone?"

This question was so sharp that the official on the stage pursed his lips and paused for a second or two before saying: "We will do our utmost to ensure the safety of life and legal rights of every citizen. I have already said that the scale of this disaster is far beyond expectations..."

The reporter from Today's News asked again: "Do you think the defense facilities in the Quiet Zone are of the same strength as those in other areas?"

"Well, each area defends itself with different defense settings, and what we want to see is that every citizen is protected from harm," the officer said.

……

This is a video from three days ago.

To this day, officials at the top are still passing the buck.

Fernando shook his head and said, "The silent zone of Alpha City... Three days have passed, and the rescue is progressing slowly..."

"The Wizarding Association has different opinions on the rescue funding, and the delay in passing the emergency plan is also one of the main problems."

Then Fernando clicked his fingers again, and the images on the magic screen continued to play, further introducing the situation of the disaster.

Li Daoxian looked at the rescue scene on the news and asked softly, "Is it because of the silent zone?"

Alpha City is a city controlled by the conservative party of the Wizarding Association, and it is also a city where right-wing wizard groups dominate and control power.

The right wing, which advocates maintaining the traditional wizarding order and emphasizes the inheritance of blood and personal power, naturally does not treat these "weaklings" without magical abilities well.

Although there were also residential megastructures built to protect those without magic or with low magic abilities, these megastructures were built together and a separate area called the "Silent Zone" was set aside to completely isolate them from other wizards.

Although they are nominally together, in reality the supporting facilities are completely different.

The defense level of the silent zone is much lower than that of other areas.

Even if a world rift does not occur, any disaster in the silent zone may cause more serious consequences.

Hearing Li Daoxian's question, Fernando nodded: "Yes, this is the main reason."

"The right-wingers don't want to rescue them, because to them, the citizens in the silent zone are a burden. Even if they don't need to be rescued, these guys who are like ants in their eyes will recover from the disaster. They also don't want the left-wingers to rescue them, in case they are brainwashed by the left-wing ideas of equality."

"The leftists don't want to rescue them, because rescue will consume their own resources, and the people who are rescued are already hardcore rightists. Once they are enlightened, the first thing they do is to distance themselves from their original peers and join the right-wing camp. It's a thankless task."

“So it’s bound to be a stretch for a while.”

After Fernando finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the magic screen continued to play the next segment.

What followed were follow-up interviews and reports from different media outlets.

A reporter interviewed a member of a right-wing wizard group who is also a member of the Wizarding Association.

The lawmakers angrily accused the left of deliberately opposing the rescue bill in order to weaken their power, and watching citizens struggle in the disaster and face serious security threats.

When a reporter also found a left-wing congressman, the congressman said that the other party's bill was completely taking advantage of the disaster to swallow up resources and expand power, and they also wanted to use public opinion to force them to compromise, which was a dream.

And they said they have drawn up a reasonable plan to focus on disaster relief.

Both the left and right factions accused each other, claiming that the reason the Wizarding Association's aid bill was not passed was because the other side was deliberately obstructing it.

As long as the other party is willing to pass the bill, rescue can be passed at any time.

Li Daoxian shook his head slightly and sighed.

Although the Wizarding Association is a government above the government and has absolute power, it is also divided into different camps and factions within it.

Although the power is great, it takes longer to implement any decision.

Fernando looked at his reaction and said with a smile: "This is normal. We have seen this kind of thing many times, so we are not surprised anymore."

Li Daoxian looked at Fernando and said, "Are we going to provide assistance?"

The reason why the Emerald Thieves are considered a neutral organization, and the Inspectorate has turned a blind eye to it for so many years, and they even have a good reputation among the people, is that whenever a disaster occurs, the Emerald Thieves will quickly prepare supplies and head to the disaster site.

Although after joining, Li Daoxian knew that it was because they had signed a contract with the concept of "justice" and they needed to borrow the power of the rule concept of "justice"...

Fernando nodded: "Of course, Cyrus has prepared the supplies, which are worth about 10 million, and will be deducted from each of our dividends."

"But other than that, our new mission, which is also your first group mission, is about to begin."

As Fernando finished his words, new content appeared on the magic screen.

Fernando introduced: "Weiser Kansa, a wizard with great political influence, a core figure of the left, very young, able to serve as a high-level advisor to the left at the age of 500. You should know what this resume means..."

Li Daoxian nodded: "Unlimited potential."

Fernando snapped his fingers. "Correct answer. The left wants him to draft and implement a new aid bill, and even use this as an opportunity to promote new bills and use it to advance reforms and strengthen the legal rights of low-magic and non-magic wizards."

Li Daoxian looked at the screen and saw a wizard who was full of energy and had a very friendly smile on his face.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Are we going to protect him?"

If they are justified in the interests of justice, as long as they can protect the people in front of them, they can advance the rescue efforts earlier, which would probably be a good thing.

Unexpectedly, Fernando shook his head and said, "No, we are going to steal the aid bill he drafted. If possible, we also need to steal his content on the new reform bill."

This……

Are we going to interfere with aid?

But if the actions taken are not controversial enough, they should be punished “justly”, right?

Li Daoxian looked at the [Sacrifice of Justice] column on his panel thoughtfully. When he decided to help Visser pass the bill, the value of the Sacrifice of Justice suddenly dropped sharply.

Although it didn't turn into a negative again, it was not far off.

You know, this is the content of the expected implementation. If it is actually carried out, the content of the justice value will fluctuate according to the actual situation. It is possible that all the points obtained from the "Snake District Order Reconstruction" and "Snake District College Compulsory Education" that you are promoting will be cleared immediately.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the aid silent zone?

Or is there something wrong with the subsequent reform bill?

Li Daoxian was a little confused. He tried to change his purpose to stealing the bill and found that the justice value in the [Sacrifice of Justice] column was slowly increasing.

It seems that there is indeed a hidden story that I am not aware of.

I'm afraid the specific reason will only become clear after completing the task.

Fernando looked at Li Daoxian with a frown on his face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this does not conflict with justice. As long as we act together with Cyrus, no matter how ridiculous what we are going to do is, we can guarantee that our actions will be just."

"After all, Cyrus is the one closest to justice."

Li Daoxian nodded: "I understand, but what do we need to do next?"

Fernando smiled and said, "Wait for the Great Flow Lord, um... maybe the Great Killer Lord, and then we'll set off together."

"We need to sneak into the Wizard Association of Wanxiang City first, modify the destination of the portal, and then transfer it to the place we have arranged in advance. After stealing the information, we will transmit it in the predetermined direction. The process should take no more than five minutes. We will disguise it as a delay in the transmission network and complete the theft without anyone noticing."

Li Daoxian was slightly stunned: "Is it okay to just tell me about this?"

Fernando smiled and said, "We have a contract, it's okay."

At this moment, the door of secret room No. 4 opened.

The Great Killer walked in.

He was wearing a wizard robe, with blood-red hair draped over his shoulders. Compared to the last time they met, his aura was much stronger.

Under the persistent erosion of the "Blood and Flesh Grand Praise Canon", the connection between the Great Lord and the Bloody Tyrant's domain was constantly being stripped away.

The Great Killer's integration with the domain is constantly deepening, which has further increased his comprehension and control of the laws. Coupled with the supplementation and improvement of his own soul, he has gone a step further on the original basis.

The Great Killer smiled and said, "It seems that I am not too late."

Fernando nodded: "We were just about to set off, you came just in time."

"Weiser Kansa will arrive in Wanxiang City in ten hours and teleport to Alpha City. We must sneak into the Wizard Association branch within five hours, adjust the parameters of the Wizard Association's internal portal, and complete the arrangement."

After saying that, Fernando looked at the silent Sinclair and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. We have sneaked into the Wizard Association before. It's not as difficult as you think."

"Afraid?" Li Daoxian said with a smile, "No, I'm excited. I'm really looking forward to following you seniors to infiltrate the Wizard Association."
