The two stayed here for a few days, and the five soldiers in charge of intelligence gathering found nothing, only some cow and sheep dung, which Simon threw away with a disgusted face.

So that night, when the screams suddenly came and disappeared in an instant, Mu En immediately took action.

Simon surprised him, he thought that the delicate bard would choose to stay in the room out of fear, but in fact Simon just followed without a word.

"Did you find anything, my lord?"

Only a few bits of blood were left in the dim street lamp, and looking at the shape and angle of the fall, it seemed that the injuries were not serious.

"There is still no smell of evil. Mu En put away the exploration circle and shook his head.

"Is there such a demonic creature that does not have an evil aura?" said the bard, who read most of the literature and did not know much about these things.

"Of course there is. Mu En frowned, "But there are some differences between the habits and those depicted in the report. ”

He shook his head helplessly and was about to go back, when he suddenly smelled a stench in the air.

"Did you smell anything?" Muen looked at Simon.

"Tramps will smell like this on them, my lord. Simon smiled slightly, feeling a little in his heart that this young adult had never been to the alley after all.

Mu En shook his head slightly and said, "No, it's not that kind of taste, it's a ...... Similar to the stench caused by alchemical magic. ”

"That's the right question, I don't know anything about alchemy. Simon teased.

But although he said strange things, after all, the young man in front of him was the rich man who paid him a salary, so he still had to go over and feel it.

At this time, the five armorers with relatively weak magic circuit strength finally arrived late, and Mu En beckoned them to smell and take a look together.

"Have you ever smelled something similar around an abandoned castle?"

After hearing this, everyone still shook their heads.

At this time, a strange situation suddenly occurred, and there was a dark floating in the deepest part of the shadow in the alley, which came straight to Mu En in an instant! At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Mu En's body, and they turned a deaf ear to the shadow that was like a filthy thing moving forward in the shadows.

But it wasn't completely unseen, the first one to notice was the bard who liked to look around, and when he saw the shadow in his head he thought he was mistaken, and by the time he realized something was wrong, the shadow had merged with Muen's shadow.

His slightly panicked voice reached Mu En's ears at this time: "My lord, a black shadow rushed into your shadow!"

Hearing this, Mu En looked back at him with some confusion and then looked down, not noticing anything.

At this time, inky shadows began to surge like boiling ink.

Everyone took a step back in surprise, and then the black shadow really condensed into a physical entity and appeared in the air, like a bloody mouth trying to drag Muen into the abyss of death.

But the strange thing is that Mu En's body didn't react, just stared at the air in front of him in a daze, and suddenly frowned, and then the pale blue thunder spread out from the circuit, and at this moment, his body returned to normal.

The strange thing is that the black shadow seemed to be very afraid of this green thunder, and fled away without the slightest intention of colliding with it, and the few thunder spears thrown by Mu En reflexively could only be pierced in the air.

Simon was stunned, it turned out that this was also the first time he had seen Mu En use the thunder of the Instant Netherworld.

"Are you alright, my lord?!" After doing all this, everyone woke up like a dream and came to Mu En's front to care.

Mu En raised his hand to signal that he was fine, and fearing that something would happen if he stayed here again, he beckoned a few sergeants and Simon to evacuate.

In the room, Simon asks Muen what the dark shadow is.

"I was wrong. Mu En was no longer sleepy, sitting at the table and thinking, her feet constantly tapping the ground regularly.

"You said before that there is a kind of demonic creature that doesn't have an evil aura, and this is it. If it's the one I thought, it could even mimic the habits of other creatures. ”

"I seemed to see you stunned for a second, what's going on?" Simon's observation is quite sharp.

"It cast an illusion on me, but I saw through it. Mu En smiled, and there seemed to be some happiness in his smile.

At that time, Mu En suddenly found that the world in front of him seemed to have turned into a broken mirror, and before he could be shocked, the voice that had spoken to him sounded, and asked him like a bell if he had forgotten what the Pope had heard this winter.

It turned out to be an illusion, Mu En tried to use his spiritual power to infiltrate from the fragments of the mirror, and then summoned the green thunder of the secluded realm to protect his body, and the two were carried out at the same time, so in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that the black shadow was afraid of the green thunder and escaped, but in fact, he couldn't run if he didn't run.

"Did you see what that thing looked like?" Muen didn't seem to be able to get rid of that thing with ease, but he didn't actually see the appearance of the dark shadow.

Simon thought for a few seconds, as if he didn't know what to say, his hands exaggeratedly gestured, and in the end he only held back nonsense like a shadow.

"Is there a specific form?"

"It doesn't look like it's a water. ”

Mu En nodded, he probably knew what that thing was.

"It's hard for you to stand guard tonight, I want to sleep for a while. Without waiting for Simon to get to the bottom of the matter, Mu En dropped this sentence and rolled over and fell asleep.

There was nothing else to do tonight, and the moon slowly paced in the sky, and after saying hello to the sun from afar, it went to an unknown place.

The next day, Mu En and the other seven returned to the manor, and he asked the five armorers to go back with his guess to report the situation to Medanzo.

"So what the hell is it?" Simon felt like he was a confidant when he saw Mu En take the five people away.

"It's very likely to be a very peculiar demonic creature called 'Evil Thought Reflection'. It's a disembodied thing, and I don't think it's even a living thing, but its essence is someone's evil thoughts, and its behavior is controlled by the ontology. Mu En walked over to his bookshelf, looked at the spine of Xingxing's book, pulled out a demonic creature illustrated book and handed it to Simon, "The third category is probably Appendix 1, you can see it for yourself." ”

Simon opened the book according to Muen's words and found the glance, first patted Muen's memory, and then began to read it softly: "The evil thought reflection is a disgusting creature formed by depraved people with evil thoughts using alchemy and some other materials to strip out their dark side. It has a strong concealment. Because it is a product of the spirit, its strength depends on the size of the evil thoughts of the creator itself, and it does not exude the aura of evil and magic. Generally speaking, a Fallen will only have one reflection of evil thoughts, otherwise its intensity will be evenly shared. ”

"Evil thoughts are immortal, but they can become weak, and if you want to destroy them, you must first destroy their creator, which is the source of their strength. ”

"These demonic creatures were first discovered a few years after the Dark Seer's betrayal of the Tower, so some scholars believe that they are not of the same origin as other demonic creatures, but rather a novel demonic creature that seems to have no taboos, can travel at any time, enter any unsuspecting place, is not afraid of any particular object, and even has very distant boundaries - no specific information on this has yet been discovered. One of the possibilities for this kind of thing to appear may be that there is a mage who wants to create evil thoughts that can be controlled in his own hands in order to practice without distraction like that traitor. But in fact, although this thing may have some effect, it will also magnify the host's evil every night, and eventually incur terrible consequences. ”

After reading it, Simon looked up.

"I feel like the target range has expanded a lot, what can I do?"

"The book you read is an easy book to buy on the market, relatively speaking, it is more of a popular science basic book, in fact, the range of activity of this demonic creature is based on the standard of being able to travel between the host and the destination within twenty-four hours, and there is a particularly important feature, that is, its owner must be an alchemist, and it is clearly mentioned in a later scholar's document that this is a demonic creature that cannot be made for others. ”

"Wait, things like this should be experimented, right? The Tower would allow such experiments?"

"I don't know, the grandmaster when I was born has been dead for hundreds of years, listen to his brother...... I heard that it was the Empire's specially approved death row prisoner to conduct experiments on him. "Mu En knows basically all the grandmasters in the tower, including the disciple of the grandmaster who wrote this document, the current alchemy master Pan, but Mu En doesn't know that he has broken the mirror now, and Mu En didn't see him during the search and rescue process at that time.

"Tsk, it seems that you can use this to make a big fuss and write a poem that shouts about human rights, as long as you carry this banner, you will always be a fool and you will not worry about sales. Simon's eyes lit up like a gold coin reflected in the sun.

Although he solved the mystery of his identity, Mu En did not have a relaxed look. Although he can understand why Evil Thoughts chooses to travel at night, after all, people of insight can find clues about the essence from it, but he can't understand why that thing wants to sneak attack him, it can run away directly, isn't this more dangerous to expose?

After that, he told Simon about this idea, and Simon only said that the man had broken his brain by alchemy.

"My lord, you don't have to scare yourself like this, most people in the world are stupid people who can't use their brains, and the gap between you and a proud son of heaven is like heaven and hell. ”

Mu En shook his head and said: "I think most people in the world are very smart, but most of them may be limited by experience and vision to be beautiful, and those who can create demonic creatures, I don't believe that he will make such a low-level mistake, there must be joints that I haven't figured out." ”

"I have heard that the aristocracy of mankind, because their emotions are not as stable as ours, often take advantage of their power to bully others, and they are dominated by their feelings, so that they are prone to make mistakes for a lifetime. Maybe my lord, that person knows you?" Simon suddenly gave a rather reasonable explanation.

Mu En looked back at this troubadour full of male and female love in surprise, and a slang that sounded a little vulgar came out of his mouth, but he still held back.

That's really three stooges......

Soon it was lunchtime, because it was in his own home, and he was a nouveau riche who suddenly became rich in the eyes of others, so Mu En did not eat and sleep without saying a word, and Simon was even more so, and the boy who jumped out of romance could best win the favor of the aristocratic girl who had been bound by the rules for a long time.

"Let me go and find out the details of that man? You can write me a list of all the people you know in the province, and I'll check them one by one. ”

"No, since he knows me, he will definitely see you last night, aren't you afraid of death if you act rashly like this?" Mu En vetoed the proposal.

"Speaking of fear of death - why haven't the five soldiers come back yet, this time should be enough for us to go three round-trips. ”

Muen's manor house was only three kilometers from Medanzo's castle, and normally it should never have been from early morning to mid-afternoon.

"Nothing will happen, will it?" asked Simon.

"This place is so close to the lord's castle, who would dare to do it here?" said Mu En, frowning.

"The lord isn't here...... There's a problem with his housekeeper?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Muen bounced up from his chair and drew an arc in the air past the window and landed in the courtyard.

"Uncle, be careful at home, Simon, come with me!"

At this time, the housekeeper of Mu En's family was napping in the sun, and was startled by Mu En who fell from the sky.

"What happened to the young master? Don't blame me for talking too much, no matter how tight the matter is, I have to finish lunch, otherwise how can my body stand it?" The butler always spoke with a southern accent, sounding sonorous and powerful.

"Leave it alone, I'll have time to explain it to you later. Mu En felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart after listening to Simon's words, so he didn't stop for a moment and ran wildly towards the path outside the door, and Simon followed him all the way.

With a loud bang, the door of the lord's mansion was vigorously kicked open, and the sun shone from behind the two of them when the smoke and dust rolled up.

Mu En's right hand hangs down, his left elbow is slightly raised, his right foot is on tiptoe, and his left foot is straight, and the quiet thunder surrounds him.

From the direction of looking over, Simon stood on his left side, the whole person leaned back in a strange backward posture, his left foot was pointed forward and his right leg was half-bent at the knee, the palm of his right hand was raised to the eyebrows, the elbow was stretched outward, and the left hand was placed in front of the chest a little farther away, as if in a martial arts posture, and the breeze surrounded him.

Inside the castle, the servants who were cleaning saw this scene, and the broom in their frightened hands fell to the ground without grasping it steadily.

I've never seen this scene - and such a sassy pose.

"Where's the butler?!" Simon shouted to the innocent servant.

"I'm here, I don't know what Mu Engongzi means? At the guardrail on the second floor, the meticulously dressed butler stood there, his eyebrows gathered together, and he seemed to be a little angry.

"Hand over our people, or my lord will want you to be here today. "Simon Fox is a fake tiger, and he looks so majestic.

Hearing this, the old butler's brows furrowed even tighter, and he looked very angry but still tried his best to restrain himself: "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Mu En raised his eyes, which were originally slightly worried, and the arcane runes that had already been condensed bloomed at the same time, and the whole person rose from the ground and went like a dragon!

When the light dissipated, Jian Mu En squatted on the railing, his left hand resting on his knee, and his right hand holding a long sword condensed by thunder and lightning, resting on the old butler's neck.

The poor old butler had the cultivation of a great magician, and he was choked before he could react.

"Young Master Muen, you want to rebel?" the old butler's voice could already be heard gritting his teeth, but he did not act rashly.

"Okay, don't pretend, it's better to call your 'son' out and have fun together, maybe you can still live." Mu En also glared at him without showing weakness, and the atmosphere gradually dropped to freezing.

"What are you doing?" From the staircase on the second floor, Medanzo didn't go out to strangle the sorcerer, but appeared here.

"Lord Lord?" Simon suddenly felt a little awkward when he saw this scene, and he looked at Muen.

And Mu En seemed to have eyes on his back, and said: "Evil thoughts can mimic anything, and the more familiar you are, the more similar it is." Try him, this thing can't mimic a magic circuit beyond the ontology level. ”

Simon received the order and began to open his wind domain wantonly, and countless invisible wind blades rushed towards Medanzo.

"Are you crazy?" Medanzo didn't seem angry, maybe he didn't understand the situation too much.

The delicate and perfect wind domain of the magister level destroyed Simon's technique in an instant, and the fierce wind pushed the two of them to the wall in an instant, and the two of them were restrained by the spell light.

", I can't beat it at all. Simon broke out in a cold sweat, feeling as if he was dragging his feet, and now something was going to be a big problem.

"It's okay, it's the Magister, that shouldn't be wrong. Mu En didn't seem so nervous, maybe he felt that he didn't have much money since he was a little mage.

"What are you two crazy about running away from me, if I'm not here today, are you going to kill my butler?"

"Not really, but his circuit will certainly not be saved. Mu En did not have the slightest consciousness as a captive, and replied very seriously.

Medanzo was amused by this, and he crouched down to look at Muen, giving him a constant look.

"Before I explain, I want to ask you a question, why don't you fight outside today?"

"There are a couple of important guests coming today, so I'm here to entertain them. Medanzo waved his hand, and the shackles of the spell were untied, he certainly didn't believe that the disciples of Tavasis would suddenly go crazy and come to his poor lord's house to smash and plunder.

"Are you there this morning?"

"I've been there all day today. ”

"Then I want to ask, the five people you gave me, I sent them back today to report back to you the results of my work, what about them?"

When Medanzo heard this, his eyebrows condensed slightly, he should be thinking.

"They didn't come, I'm sure of that, and because everyone was preparing for the welcome ceremony, no members of the castle had ever gone out. ”

"It's broken. ”
