Few in Bothal knew that Pulgasiri also employed Mages in their ilk. A fact kept hidden due to national pride that claid to have left magic behind through modern technology alone. Their desire to not use magic to solve their problems is the very reason for the people of Pulgasiri’s innovation.
This beca the reason why people in Pulgasari didn’t employ Mages in their organizations and if they did employ them, then it would be like a normal employee and not a mage. With few exceptions like a private firm hiring a mage as one of their guards. Though these guards were obviously small-ti mages and nothing special.
However, the ones employed by CBI were different.
"Each one is Master level," Salveraz said while completing his al and then looking toward Fahna. "Don’t wait or waste any ti. They are a dangerous bunch, so leaving now will be better."
"I still need to find a safe place for you, before I go... it won’t be long before they attack you," Fahna said while looking toward Kasim, who turned his head to the side. He seed to have already made up his mind. "Do you think they would actually dare to co out and attack now? CBI has taken over the case and even the Police Chief would be shitting his pants at this very mont."
"A CBI officer is much more dangerous and holds the authority to even drag a minister out of his ho with just suspicion alone. aning, all of this is dangerous now. Too dangerous for anyone to act wildly anymore." It was Salvarez’s long-winded way of saying that he would be safe and Fahna could leave. "It’s better to be safe than sorry. I will leave notes on so other hiding places I have found... but, it will be harder for you to move, with that body."
A giant bear-like body. He looked like a giant dwarf, which sounded odd when I said it. But this was the truth. Making him stand out if Salvarez ever chose to leave this place. But he just shook his head, asking Fahna to not worry too much. "I have my ways, so don’t worry. Just co back when things slow down. As even the demon you ca here to look for won’t dare to act anymore.
"If that’s what you think... I just hope nothing bad happens."

Gaitoynde was at the ho of Krugal, looking at the destruction and the bodies he recovered.
A total of three they were, two servants and one bodyguard. With the father and son missing. One among which seed to have put up so fight, from the looks of it.
’No bullet casing.’ Which cut off the chance of it being the duo that attacked the Dwarf from the red dragon bloodline before.
But that was not the thing that worried him.
"Did soone touch the scene before we ca here?" A Dwarf asked in a casual suit without any badge to signify his post. But Gaitoynde never dared to dally much before answering.
"No sir, we never did. We were only ten minutes ahead of you." He answered while sweating profusely.
Both were in fact Master master-level existences, but while he was a Knight from one of the most common bloodlines of Iron Tribe, the dwarf in front of him was none other than a rare Dwarven mage.
If a thousand in one among humans has a talent for mage, then for dwarfs, the ratio is ten tis worse. And even then, dwarves rarely possess any noteworthy talent on the path of magehood.
Making the dwarf in front of him a rarity among dwarfs, an enigma. Not to ntion, from the radiation that Mages innately exuded, Gaitoynde knew that he stood no chance against a being like this. An innate fear that ca from his blood.
Which was weird, considering the figure in front of him was a mage.
"Pieces of burned flesh and then a body... nothing could have survived an attack of that nature, not when most of their outer flesh had been burned." The dwarf noted, then looked to the side, and with a snap of his finger, and an aura detection spell, multiple images ford up in front of Gaitoynde.
First was the body, a body that was lying on the floor, made out of illusory magic, one can’t make out proper details, just the build of the body. Which was.
"Human."
Then a few more images ford, showing how the man at so ti had stood up and then walked out of the scene slowly before most of his flesh had burned down and fell to the side. Whose remains glittered in red light under the Inspection spell of the CBI officer.
"A man can walk off that kind of injury, have the undead entered the city sohow?" He wondered, recalling the nas of all the mages that had recently co to the city before a few nas popped up in his head. "Give priority to this scene, collect any traces of blood samples or or intact flesh."
"And I don’t wish to see any errors in this work, everything under my spell’s effect is to be collected. Don’t disappoint ."
"Sir, Yes sir!"
The CBI officer had the designated na of "Blue" and he was ready for so action.
Coming here was not a fluke, the regular shaful accidents and attacks were a disgrace to the country and it was for this reason, that the CBI which usually focuses on foreign spies or dangerous elents, ca to handle a case of this nature. A case at the forefront of the world and there would be many eyes on them this ti.
This was not a fight in the dark that he was used to, this ti, he had to be a bit more rciful. A bit more tact so as to not attract any unwanted public attention toward him and his companion, who should be out there talking with the police chief.

"Was this really necessary? Involving CBI into the mix is dangerous. You know how my companions can be."
"Officer Red. You don’t know the problems we are facing currently. I had no choice but to request help from you this ti, if not. Everything the company is after would have been ruined. Not to ntion, this ti they hit one of the important links."
"Isn’t it just two individuals? With a bit more planning, it won’t be that hard to apprehend them." Officer Blue was a human, unlike his partner.
A handso face for a human but carrying a walking stick with him, it was hard to say whether this was a fashion statent or just a crutch for soone old. "A planning would obviously lead so curious ones among my force to find so unsavory details. Which I don’t want to happen. Salvarez had already fallen out of my hands, I don’t wish to lose others."
Hearing the na Salvarez, the eyes of Blue shined for a bit, before he said. "If I am to assu, you asked for our help due to Salveraz and not the two assassins taking out the outer mbers.’ Red said with a curious smile, finding it a bit interesting. "So scared to kill him on your own? What do you wish for us to do here?" He asked.
And the old Police chief could only laugh at this point. "There is no need to hide it. Cree..."
With a tap of his cane, Officer Blue stopped the police chief before he could complete his sentence. "I would prefer it if you use my current designation." He said in a calm voice, but distaste was visible in his voice.
"... Ok Blue, you know him better than . You should know how dangerous he is when he turns like that." It was a past that the Police chief had learned recently about. A glorious past that had left him a bit scared. But when he learned that there was soone who had survived the onslaught of Salvarez and that this person was soone he was very familiar with. He couldn’t help but involve him in this issue as well.
Not to ntion, the chance of the company being exposed is super low currently, they have enough samples to work for the next two years without issue, so they would choose to remain low during these days. While others clean the house for them. The others obviously ant the CBI.
"Weren’t his claws neutered the last ti I checked?" Blue thought, recalling how feeble Salvarez had turned after having himself a family. A total disappointnt in his eyes.
But the police chief just shook his head. "There is a chance that he might go a bit crazy, it’s why I needed soone strong enough to handle him. That’s why I asked for you."
The chief’s words left Blue a bit curious, his back hunched and his eyes shined with bright light, as he questioned. "What have you been hiding from the CBI?"
