Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Derrick was about 18 or 19 years old in the crowd. He was a head taller than the other police officers, probably about two meters tall. With the mobile armor, he stood out among the police officers.

Rorsted is a country with a rich ethnic group. Most of the people living here are the many dark-skinned indigenous peoples of the Rorsted Islands, the Loen people who stayed over from the Fifth Epoch colonial period, and the tall, fair-skinned modern giants. The rest are scattered immigrants.

Derrick is a typical "giant" in body type. However, "giant" is not used to refer to the extraordinary race in ancient times, but to refer to the overly tall people in the Rorsted Islands. Some scholars call them "Far East", "Tall People", "Modern Giants" or something else, believing that they, like the modern elves in the Western Continent, have the blood of the legendary giants and retain the most mysterious and pure ancient giant language. Some online rumors even speculate that this language contains mysterious power.

Leonard clarified that this is not a rumor.

According to Leonard's previous introduction, many priests, chiefs and other personnel of the Giant tribes still inherited the complete Giant language. In the Sixth Era before the Sky Curtain War, the Church of Fools was also responsible for inheriting the Giant language. This language was still preserved, but for safety reasons, the occasions for its use were getting smaller and smaller.

No matter what, the tall men who had come from the distant God-forsaken Land were now completely members of the Rorsted Republic. With a long period of ethnic integration, their overall height was already shorter than the people in the Silver City in Klein's memory. Most of them also had Rorsted's characteristic black curly hair, and their faces also had the characteristics of islanders.

Now Rost could see these two-meter-tall giants everywhere. The size of Bayam's door was not much different from that of Loen, but the building height was a level higher than Backlund's. These modern little giants were used to lowering their heads when entering a door, but they could stand comfortably in the building.

It was a coincidence today that among the people present there was only a little giant named Derrick, who stood out very much.

Judging from the equipment without any printed logos, Derrick and the other two people who were traveling with him should be church members like Andre, but they should not be from the Storm Church. They are a team of extraordinary people from the Lost Church of the God of Confusion - [Dealers].

Today, Rorsted is still a country with religious freedom, and the government does not officially restrict residents' beliefs. However, in the country, only the Storm Church and the Lost Church of the God of Confusion have the legal right to preach and have an official team of extraordinary people to manage supernatural events.

Among them, since the sea god Kalvetuwa, as the representative of the local faith, supports the Lost God and guards the pure land for him, the Church of the Lost God has been the local faith of the Republic of Rorsted "since ancient times" and should have a higher status in Rorsted as the state religion.

...hiss...why does it sound...so uncomfortable...

What concerned Klein was that there seemed to be a layer of external mechanical equipment underneath Derrick's leg equipment, tightly wrapped around his entire leg. The fabric of his pants covered the outside of the equipment, and the standard equipment covered the top through the fabric, which made Derrick's legs look more bloated than others.

He had an extra layer of equipment on his legs.

Out of concern for Derrick and curiosity about the incident, Klein found a random insect at the scene as a secret doll and crawled among the police officers to eavesdrop on the situation.

"Captain, what happened to the robber just now?"

Derrick stepped forward to ask, and the latter took off his mask, revealing the face of a middle-aged man, who looked thin and weathered, with gray hair. Captain Jeffrey Medina said lightly.

"He was just taken away by the police and the Storm Church. I guess after taking a statement at the police station, he will be handed over to the Storm Church for processing?"

"Storm Church? What do they want people to do?"

This question seemed to stump Jeffrey. He was not sure, so he took out a deck of tarot cards and picked a few at random.

"Oh, so it's the apostle." Jeffrey suddenly realized, "It seems that Andre and the robber have a big grudge. Now the violent law enforcement just now makes sense."

"But it seems that Andre is also a soft-hearted person."

Jeffrey changed the subject.

"I thought he would just shoot the kidnapper to death."

“Uh… well… Captain, Bayam is not a lawless place.” Derrick said righteously.

"The law should be viewed in conjunction with experience." Jeffrey smiled. "This type of apostate is likely responsible for the deaths of several fellow church members. They are probably on the Storm Church's execution list. There is no difference between a wanted order and a hunting order."

Jeffrey stood up.

"Let's go and see the person involved."

Three church dealers came to the ambulance. As soon as they approached, the rainbow brush rushed over with snot and tears on its face, and grabbed the seams of Jeffrey's breastplate, howling like a ghost.

"Sir! Sir! Please make the decision for me!"

Who would have thought that Jeffrey would grab a pair of handcuffs from a passing police officer and put them on Rainbow Brush.

"Ryanper Angel, you are under arrest for allegedly stealing a national first-class protected animal."

"What!!"

Ryan Per with the rainbow brush head jumped up immediately.

"Sir! Are you mistaken?! How could I be a thief?! How could I do such a dirty thing!?"

"Do you know what you have?" Jeffrey said as he wrote the assessment. "It's a giant alligator with iridescent light scales. There are only 1000 of them in the country. It's a first-class protected animal and is not allowed to be kept as a pet. Without relevant qualifications and license reports, you are not allowed to keep it at will."

"Sophie is willing to follow me to Bayam. It's a matter of our mutual consent! Moreover, Sophie is my savior! How could I do such a cruel thing to her!"

Ryanper was so angry that his tears and snot were about to fly onto Klein's secret puppet insect.

In an emotional state, Ryanper began to tell himself how he got lost in a tropical rainforest and how he met a glittering, iridescent, giant-tailed crocodile - later known as Sophie - after three days without water or food.

He then cried to the police, telling them how Sophie had led him to a water source and caught fish for him in the river. After they had survived the ordeal, Sophie had obediently accompanied him out of the rainforest island and back to Bayam's luxurious mansion.

"...Wuwuwu...From now on...I swear wuwuwu...I must take good care of Sophie for the rest of my life wuwuwuwu...I will wuwuwuwu...repay her for saving my life wuwuwuwu..."

"Okay, okay, stop crying." Jeffrey was really impatient and couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"...Sophie...How is Sophie now?"

"The doctor took her away as soon as he arrived. There shouldn't be any serious problems. I didn't see any skin injuries when she left..."

A briefing was suddenly delivered to Jeffrey's terminal. He was stunned for a moment, then spoke.

"Sophie suffered a severe stress reaction in the air and died."

Jeffrey calmly revised his notes.

"Bad news, it is now a national special protected animal, which makes it an even more serious crime."
