His gaze swept over Li Ang and the others, his tone turning serious: "The Alliance's higher-ups have decided that it's best not to make a big fuss before the truth comes out. Therefore, we need a small team to travel to the Ironforge region unofficially to ascertain the true situation of the Dwarven Kingdom."
"Li Ang, your team has Maxwell. Given her familiarity with Ironforge, your team is the perfect fit for this mission. Remember, this operation cannot be conducted openly under the name of the law enforcement team. You will need to devise your own plan regarding the infiltration, the investigation, and any additional personnel required, and submit it for my approval."
Celeste leaned forward slightly, exuding the characteristic aura of a black-robed wizard: "Any further questions?"
Li Ang pondered for a moment before asking, "Steward, we can devise our own plan, that's fine. But as far as I know, the journey to the Dwarf Kingdom is long, and there are no fixed routes for civilian airships. Can we request to use the airships within the tower for this mission?"
Celeste shook his head: "No. All official airships have their power cores and serial numbers recorded. Once they enter sensitive airspace, they can be easily identified, which contradicts the purpose of our secret operation."
He then changed the subject: "However, you can rent reliable civilian airships yourselves, and all expenses will be reimbursed by the school. In addition, if you think it is necessary to coordinate with other squads, the number should be kept to no more than two squads. The tower has just been attacked, and the defenses should not be too weak."
"I understand. I will draft a plan as soon as possible." Li Ang nodded, already having a plan in mind.
After leaving the meeting room, the oppressive atmosphere eased slightly. Li Ang ordered the meeting to be dismissed, and that further instructions would be given later.
Olivia had been so sleepy by the latter half of the meeting that her eyelids were drooping. When she heard the meeting was adjourned, she muttered, "I'm going back to sleep now—" and left.
Helena and Ludick walked over to Maya and gently patted her on the shoulder.
"Don't worry too much, Your Highness, the truth will always come out," Helena comforted softly.
Rudik adjusted his glasses, trying to sound reliable: "Yes, Your Highness, we will definitely find out the truth and clear the Dwarf Kingdom's name."
Meiya bit her lower lip, glanced at her two companions, then looked at Li Ang with a complex expression, as if she had a thousand words to say, but in the end it just turned into a heavy sigh, she nodded and left with the others.
Instead of returning to his dormitory, Li Ang went straight to the base of the First Special Operations Group.
He sat down behind his own ironwood desk, spread out parchment, picked up a quill pen, and began to devise a plan for the mission.
The specific travel route selection, the planning of supply points along the way, the airship rental channels and budget, the setting of the disguise identity—all sorts of details flooded into Li Ang's mind. He soon realized that his understanding of many worldly affairs was not deep, and if he were to investigate these things personally, it would inevitably consume a lot of precious time.
"Looks like I need a helper—" Li Ang put down his pen and rubbed his temples.
Once he becomes a full-fledged wizard, he is eligible to apply for a personal wizard attendant to assist him with these mundane tasks.
With that thought in mind, he didn't delay any longer and got up to go to the attendant management office located on the ground floor of the main tower.
After explaining his purpose to the on-duty administrator, a stern-faced green-robed wizard, and handing over his enforcement team badge, he...
The other party swept the badge across a crystal plate, a fleeting hint of surprise crossing their face before resuming their businesslike expression.
"Captain Li Ang, with your current rank and position, you can request a personal follower. If you are sure you need one, I can summon any available followers for you to choose from right now."
"Thank you for your trouble." Li Ang nodded.
The administrator led Li Ang to a spacious but somewhat shabby hall.
As the broadcast began, thirty or forty men and women, some around the same age as Li Ang or even younger, quickly gathered around.
They wore uniform coarse cloth robes, their faces showing either anticipation, nervousness, or an effort to appear submissive.
As soon as the administrator signaled that Li Ang could make his selection, the followers immediately began to show themselves.
Some flexed their arm muscles to show off their strength.
Some began to tidy their appearance, showing off their beautiful faces.
Others loudly proclaimed their expertise in arithmetic, writing, or some other craft.
In the midst of this slightly noisy atmosphere, a figure suddenly darted out from the crowd, pounced on Li Ang with unexpected speed, and tightly hugged his leg.
"Honorable Wizard! Please, choose me and my sister. We can do anything, and we eat little. All we need is two pieces of black bread each a day."
This was a boy who looked only twelve or thirteen years old. He had messy blond hair, a thin face, and a pair of blue eyes filled with pleading and fear.
His sudden action silenced the hall instantly, drawing angry stares and whispered rebukes from the other attendants.
"Nelson! You rude brat!"
"Release yourself, sir!"
"Administrator, he broke the rules."
The green-robed wizard in charge of managing these followers also instantly darkened his expression.
A faint breeze was already swirling around his hands, clearly indicating that he felt he hadn't disciplined his children properly and had made a fool of himself in front of other wizards.
He was preparing to teach this unruly brat a lesson he would never forget.
"Oh, never mind." Li Ang quickly raised his hand to stop the administrator.
After all, he didn't want to see a child who hadn't done anything seriously have several ribs broken right in front of him.
"Let me ask about his situation."
Upon hearing Li Ang's words, all the accusations and the breeze in the administrator's hand instantly subsided.
Li Ang looked down at the boy who was clinging tightly to his leg, his body trembling slightly with nervousness, and asked in a soft voice, "I need an attendant who is familiar with market purchasing and can assist in managing the camp and miscellaneous tasks in the herb garden. Are you up to the task?"
When young Nelson saw that Leon had not only not punished him, but had instead inquired about his abilities, a glimmer of hope instantly shone in his eyes.
He quickly replied, "Yes, sir, I can. My family is in business, I can read and write, and I can definitely help you. Besides, my sister is very hardworking; she can help with cleaning." After saying this, he hurriedly called out to the crowd, "Rodney! Come here quickly!"
Another small, thin, blonde girl timidly ran out and, imitating her brother, hugged Li Ang's other leg. Her face was pale with fright, but she still mustered up her courage and whispered, "Sir—choose us—my brother and I can do anything, and we eat very little, so it's a good deal."
