"What's wrong?"

"They may be dead, I thought you weren't at the castle, so I misunderstood that the butler might be the object of my suspicions. ”

After hearing this, Mei Danzuo smiled helplessly: "As my housekeeper, he sleeps next door to me every night, how can he go to the old city to kill people every other day." ”

"I was attacked last night, and that thing came back to attack me after taking a person captive, and I think it must be because they know me that they made that choice. Mu En stood up and apologized to the butler.

"What's that?"

"I speculate it's the reflection of evil thoughts, so I want to know the list of guests who came today, as well as the list of all the alchemists in the province. ”

Hearing the words of the reflection of evil thoughts, Medanzo slowly squeezed out a fold between his eyebrows.

"Do you have any ideas?" Muen caught the change in the lord's expression.

Medanzo shook his head, "I mean, I'm surprised that such a thing would go against heaven in a small place like mine. As for the list you mentioned, you should also know that the guilds are highly autonomous, and the tower is in charge of all magician affairs, so I don't have exact data here, only the magician information that is effectively loyal to me, and as for the tower lords in the towers, there is no subordinate relationship with me. ”

"What about the guests?"

"They're all going back and forth today, and there's no alchemist among them. ”

Mu En sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose, feeling that things were back to square one.

"So, my lord, please send some people to find the five missing people, and I will have to go back and think about it. ”

Medanzo nodded, and then said some words to mediate the incident caused by the misunderstanding between the two sides today, and finally the old housekeeper sent the two out of the house, and on the way Mu En looked a little embarrassed, and looked shy as if he had returned to his childhood.

"Young Master Mu En is really a very complicated person. The old butler returned to Medanzo, and seemed to sigh because of the changes before and after Mu En.

"Yes, I think he's quite a guy with his own rules of behavior. ”

"Maybe it's the huge change in attitude that has given me a huge gap in my heart. ”

On the way back, Mu En observed the surrounding wilderness, but found no clues, and the five people seemed to have disappeared into this world out of thin air.

"If he wants to attack them, then why don't he attack us?" Mu En wondered in his heart, but he didn't say it, he looked at Simon beside him and was a little worried, because although he could use the Instant Netherworld and some special reasons to get rid of evil thoughts, Simon, who had no means of fighting, might not be able to survive.

The abilities of Evil Thoughts Reflection will change according to the characteristics and habits of the owner, because they themselves can simulate almost everything, and their upper limit and strength depend on the owner's ability.

Magicians with the reflection of evil thoughts are often mentally exhausted because they have to manipulate two bodies, but on the other hand, their spiritual power will become stronger under the gradual refining.

"Mental attack...... Mu En suddenly thought of something, and then he smiled unconsciously, "I should have thought of it a long time ago." ”

Simon saw that Mu En suddenly stopped, a little confused.

"Wait until it's dark, and you can see the illusion as a broken mirror, then there is basically only one possibility......" Mu En smoothed her soft pale blonde hair, and her smile became much more bitter.

"What's wrong with you, my lord?" because Muen was just thinking about this in his heart and was silent, Simon thought he had made some major discovery.

"It's nothing," Muen sighed, "I'll walk through the Tower and help me get the Alchemist roster from Mage Wilk." ”

"I'm not going to die, am I?"

"Don't worry, I'll be following you quietly. ”

Simon looked a little scared, but nodded anyway.

It was still early, and shortly after noon, Muen told Simon to watch out for the shadows and walked back to the house.

It was still the butler who came to greet him, with a standardized smile, and strangely enough, the butler's palm seemed to be injured and wrapped in several bandages.

"What's wrong with you?" Muen was now extremely sensitive to any situation.

"There was a thief in the house, so I had a fight with him, but I didn't expect to be a little injured when I was old, and I couldn't leave anyone to the young master. ”

Mu En knows the details of this butler, he is very old, and he only has the magic level of a high-level magician, which is not much higher than himself, and the circuit attribute of magic power cannot be used for alchemy, generally speaking, the possibility of such a person becoming an alchemist is very small. Although Mu En's soul has some problems, his perception ability has not been greatly affected, after all, no matter how much the sensitive A gifted by his talent will continue to play an effective role.

Therefore, Mu En can't find out the details, either they really don't have the details, or they are too much higher than Mu En, otherwise it is impossible to hide from Mu En. For example, just now in the castle, Mu En can sense his circuit in the battle where Medanzo did not go all out, although it is not so delicate, but it can also clearly perceive the strength of the other party, if even Mu En can't see it clearly, and even hide him, it must be at least a high-level magister or above.

So if the butler in front of him is really the latter case, there is no need to hide and kill himself directly.

When Mu En thought about it like this, he let down his guard, and said to the old housekeeper with a smile that it was okay, as for what thieves are not thieves, they don't lack those few dollars.

The old butler nodded yes, Mu En glanced at the sundial, and felt that Simon, who should also leave the province, was really dead, so he hurriedly took the rudimentary detection circle carved before and went out through the back door.

Aldan Tower.

The two men stood in front of Wilk's twisted and horrific corpse, silent for a long time.

"How did he die?" asked Muen.

Simon shook his head and said: "I don't know, how can a person of my status directly meet the commander of a provincial tower, I was waiting outside for a briefing, and then I suddenly heard a noise here before I came over to take a look, and that's it." ”

"This is a big matter, and we must hurry up and report to the lord and the Bafang Town Tower. Mu En glanced at the stunned grassroots mages around him, and suddenly felt a little disgusted.

The Bafang Town Tower, an organization that guards the imperial capital, has a huge magic circle tower in each of the eight directions, which is used to manage and dispatch the work of the towers in the provinces under their respective jurisdictions, and is responsible for commanding, requisitioning and distributing the work in wartime. Its supreme commanders are all Grand Grandmasters, called "Town Governors", and their status is only slightly lower than that of the previous Grandmasters who guarded the first line of defense of the Great Array of Border Cities like Umash.

This is still an unspoken rule, and the nominal governor is actually their superior.

The significance of the existence of the Bafang Town Tower is that when a certain frontier array is broken and the enemy army penetrates deep into the hinterland of the empire, these town towers will use the Tower of Eternity in the imperial capital as the center to build a magnificent barrier to protect the interior.

But interestingly, the imperial capital is not in the center of the Circle Tower, but further east, because the founding king of the empire stopped thousands of miles before the Forest of Avalon in order to show respect for the Elven King.

Although they can't beat Avalon either......

But the western territory is not like this, the human race has been driven to the northwest, and was driven to the north by the dwarves on the Golden Beach Plateau, of course, because everyone in the north knows something, so the existing largest human empire in the extreme west of the coastline into a narrow shape, behind the Golden Beach Plateau and mountains have become a natural barrier, after thousands of years of unremitting efforts, now in the southwest there are many small human empires. Because the empire is dragging its tail over there, and there is no one to live, and the actual control is very low. But the empire doesn't matter, anyway, if you want to get it back at any time, you can let the human race expand its territory there and work for itself. It's just that on the map, both humans and sub-elves mark it as their own.

But no matter what, the town tower in the west is far away from the emperor, and at the beginning, the sub-elves didn't want to establish a national capital in the middle, but they really can't stand the current plain of the two rivers is too rich, and it also has a very good humanistic foundation - the imperial capital of the Eternal Empire and the human race has also been established here, so it is settled.

Because the elves' ghost words are too delicate, the layout specifications of the imperial capital are still not much different from tens of thousands of years ago, so that if the elf king comes to the imperial capital to play and use the map of the divine capital in the elf era, he will not even get lost.

Seeing that the helpless people around him finally moved, Mu En was also very helpless.

"Let's go, we can't help with this matter, let's go to the archives and have a look. Mu En casually pulled a little mage who didn't seem to have recovered and asked, "Where is the archive?"

"Ah......" After saying it several times, the mage reacted and stumbled and said, "Files, archives? ”

"This is not a special situation? Lord Wilk died on his home turf for no reason, obviously an acquaintance committed the crime, we are here to help you find out the identity of the suspect. Simon didn't look like someone who hadn't seen a corpse, and his tone and expression were still normal.

If it weren't for the fact that the young man was so foolish, the mage really brought the two of them over when he heard this.

"Is this here?" said Muen's tone, which could be heard with obvious confusion.

"Yes, what's the problem, sir?"

"Oh, it's okay......" Muen looked at this place as it was familiar, it was here that he had met Wilk for the first time in private, and he thought Wilk had come out of the office.

"Sure enough, not everyone has an office the size of a teacher......" Mu En thought of the vast office of Tavasis, and it might take ten minutes to walk from the desk at the door to the place where the books were stored.

"My lord, do you think this is an accident or something to do with our investigation?" Simon said as he quickly flipped through the file.

"I don't know, but I don't really believe that such a coincidence could happen to me. ”

"What are you doing here?!" a serious voice suddenly sounded at the door.

The two looked up and saw a mage in a purple satin robe standing there.

"Who are you?" asked Mu En curiously.

"I'm the magician who replaced Wilk in charge of the provincial array when I came, you guys hurry up, can you enter the archives?" ”

"Tsk," Mu En gave Simon an embarrassed look, as if to say that he shouldn't have reminded them just now, "I didn't expect it to come so quickly." ”

Not long after, Medanzo also came to the tower and happened to see this scene.

"Eh, don't panic about this, Master. This kid is Muen, the fourth in the Academy, who used to study with my friend and archangel Ansher in the Tower, and he came to the archives because I entrusted him with something, because you also know that the recent situation is not very good, and I can't get out. With that, Medanzo pulled the man aside and explained to him.

The mage was obviously much more polite when he saw Medanzo, after all, although Medanzo did not have a robe from the tower to symbolize his status, it was by no means that he did not have this ability, but because he did not serve in the tower.

Who doesn't know that he has a good relationship with Ansher, and whoever can be looked at by the archangel must at least have a talent for a snow robe, right?

It should be noted here that the four robes of Drift Snow, Purple Satin, Osmanthus, and Aoki granted by the tower from high to low are not a symbol of rank, but a recognition of talent, so generally speaking, unless there is an adventure, every mage who serves in the tower will never change the robe for life after receiving it.

And don't think that Aoki is bad, many people can't even get this certification.

Generally speaking, the condition for graduating from the inner courtyard is to become a magister, and when you graduate from the inner court, you will be given a flowing snow if you are not more than forty-five years old, and if you are more than forty-five years old, you will be given purple satin, and if you fail to enter the inner court, but the tower thinks that there is still the possibility of becoming a great mage, you will be awarded osmanthus, and if you have a high-level mage talent, you will be awarded to Aoki.

Some people may ask, what if you can enter the inner courtyard but can't become a great mage?

It can only be said that there is basically no such possibility, are the grandmasters who accept the students blind, and the geniuses among those geniuses who can enter the inner courtyard can become the great mage as long as they live.

Of course, in fact, in this continent, it is very difficult to live in itself.

Moreover, there are many so-called geniuses in remote places, and when they get out of that narrow place, they know the sky outside, and they are shocked to find that they have stopped at the Magister all their lives.

But in fact, everyone who can become a magister is considered lucky.

The mage had obviously just graduated from the inner court, because Mu En could clearly feel that the strength of his circuit was at the level of the mage, and in terms of the delicacy of the circuit, it was slightly superior to that of Lord Medanzo.

After some conversation, the mage's eyes changed when he looked at Mu En, everyone knew what kind of magic level Ansher was now, he was already less than fifty years old, and his strength was faster than that of a rabbit, and now he had become the helmsman of the Immortal Bird Family, and almost everyone thought that he would step on the position of grandmaster in two hundred years and achieve the name of a saint in three hundred years.

And Medanzo said that Anschel often went to see his 'proud protégé', and he also had three magic guides carved by Anschel himself for self-defense.

"Do you have the magic guide hand-made by the archangel?" the mage looked over and asked Mu En.

"With it. Mu En believed that Medanzo would not reveal his identity, although he didn't hear any excuses, so he went along with it.

After that, Mu En casually threw a past - he has never treated his senior brother's things with great respect.

Seeing this nonchalant look, the mage was even more convinced. Taking the slight temptation in his hand, it was clear from Tawasis's unique understanding of the circle.

"If that's the case, let's be light. "The mage returned the magic guide without any further objections.

Who would have thought that there was an archangel's old friend living in this poor country, not to mention, and an archangel's 'disciple'!

Isn't it good to be honest and honest? I can't be regarded as the leader in such a small place.

Sad.

There is a proverb in the empire that says: Those who can enter the tower without feeling inferior are the real geniuses.

For the vast majority of people, no matter how good they are, there will always be people in the tower who are much better than themselves.

Except for Mu En, who is not diligent and makes rapid progress, to be honest, in fact, the naïve Mu En still doesn't understand what the 'hard work' in the senior brother's mouth is, he has never 'worked hard' like that, and what he has obtained so far is too easy.

It's just that Ansher is also soft-hearted, and he can't bear to force Mu En to work hard for his father's affirmation like he did when he was a child, but fortunately, Mu En is interested in learning, and he can sit at his desk all day without urging and don't speak, so he learns quickly.

After that, Mu En took his own knife and pen to continue to consult the information without hindrance, and even lent out a few stacks of materials that were basically unfinished.

After the fight, it seemed that the black shadow had stopped for a long time, and there was no strange situation, which made Simon wonder if Wilk was the one behind the scenes.

Until a few days later.
