"Huh?"

Lawson immediately put away the notebook, and his perception was released, like a giant net, enveloping the entire cabin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There were three people on the other side, judging by the pace, they should all be guys with some strength, and they were approaching Lawson's location from three directions, and they didn't seem to be affected by the magic trap before.

"Is it the Rainbow Tower or the guy who has already mastered the way to crack it?"

While thinking about it, Lawson gathered his breath, and the [Secret] skill was activated, and he suddenly disappeared from the perception of the three people.

The movements of the three men hesitated for a moment, but they quickly reacted, and the original tiptoeing movements began to speed up, and it didn't take long for Rosen to see the first person who broke into the laboratory.

He was dressed in black, his face was also covered with a black cloth, and he had a short knife in his hand, and as soon as he walked into the laboratory, he saw Lawson, and he was surprised in his heart, and he didn't react for a while.

Hmmm――

With a shake of his left hand, Lawson's sharp knife went straight towards the man, and a silver light flashed, and the opponent covered his throat and fell to the ground.

It doesn't seem to be someone from the Rainbow Tower.

During the fight, Lawson did not notice any movement of the surrounding elements, if it was really a mage of the Rainbow Tower, even an apprentice could not have used magic at all.

When the first intruder fell, the second jumped in through the window.

He fell right behind Rosen, and saw the scene of his companion being choked with a move, and the short knife in his hand was clenched, and he rushed directly towards Rosen, his body was quite agile.

The third man also walked in through the doorway, and when he saw the scene inside the house, he immediately stepped over the corpse of his companion, and in a flash of cold light, he struck at Lawson.

In the face of this attack from both sides, Lawson's greatsword did not unsheath, but twisted his body and threw out his left hand.

At the same time, the throwing knife that had been inserted in the throat of the first person flew back like a living thing, and galloped out along the movement of Lawson's left hand, nailing directly to the shoulder of the person behind him, making the opponent's movements slightly sluggish.

However, at this moment, Lawson had already made a fist with his right hand.

The effect of the [Weapon Mastery] skill made his fist feel like a blow from a boxer who had been trained for many years, and before the man could defend himself, he was smashed straight into the yellow dragon and smashed into the chest.

Click-

The sound of several broken ribs sounded in the quiet of the laboratory.

The man's chest sank straight into the face, and then the blood gushed up from his throat, and the force of the impact caused it to hit the wall directly, leaving a slight crack.

As for the person, at the same time as being hit by Rosen, he was on the verge of death because the broken rib pierced multiple internal organs, and there was no possibility of recovery at all.

The third person's knife had just arrived at Lawson's side at this time.

Turning his body directly, Lawson flew out with a kick and hit the opponent in the stomach.

"Poof—"

A gust of acid reflux made the man almost vomit, and the huge impact knocked it back, but Lawson grabbed him directly by the collar and forcibly grabbed the man.

"Who are you?"

Inserting his fingers into the other's mouth to prevent himself from biting his tongue, Rosen asked, and at the same time his mental power was like a pinprick in his mind.

The opponent's mental defense was quite weak, and it barely took much effort for Lawson to see the other party's thinking.

Several images flash by, ranging from boring scenes of drinking and chatting with his companions to obscene scenes of debauchery with prostitutes, and finally, Rosen freezes the river of the other's thoughts in a gloomy cabin.

"Monitor that observation post, anyone who enters must report to me, and after finding out their identity, if it is not those mages, kill them directly. ”

Inside the hut, the man sitting in a chair whispered.

Rosen noticed that there were four other people, and it seemed that three of them were the three people here, and the remaining one was probably spared by reporting to the boss.

Condensing his consciousness, Rosen tried to see the face of the man who gave the order, only to realize that the person was none other than the third seat of the Hot Wind Mercenary Group he had killed earlier, the Evil Eye Dominic.

"You're from the Hot Wind Mercenary Regiment?"

Lawson asked in a low voice, a look of surprise flashing through the other party's eyes.

Obviously all traces have been erased, how did this person recognize his identity in such a hurry?

The man panicked and struggled for a while, but was pinned down by Rosen and couldn't move.

"You are here to ambush the people who are looking for the mage...... And the two mage apprentices?"

Thinking of the two mage apprentices left behind mentioned in the note, Rosen thought that these guys should know their whereabouts.

The picture in his mind changed, and Rosen saw two apprentices locked up in the basement, one of whom had been tortured to the point of being inhuman, covered in scars, skinny, and dying.

The other apprentice huddled in a corner, watching in horror at the guards outside the bar.

The surrounding scene passed quickly, and Rosen soon learned that the location of the two apprentices was being held was in Istal.

"Woo-woo-"

The other party didn't know what was happening, he only felt a burning sensation in his eyebrows, and various images flashed in his brain unconsciously, and then, Lawson's fingers that went deep into the other party's throat were withdrawn, causing the man to cough.

"Your boss is dead. ”

Lawson said coldly, and then in the stunned eyes of the other party, his left hand exerted force, and then twisted the other party's neck.

It seems that the Hot Wind Mercenary Group also has a certain understanding of the affairs of the Capital of Crime, and they also know about the mages in the observation post going there to investigate, so they broke into this observation post and kidnapped two mage apprentices to try to take them hostage, but they didn't expect the mage expedition team to never return, so the people of the Hot Wind Mercenary Group began to torture the two mage apprentices.

The official mages have all gone to the capital of sin, and the remaining mage apprentices have also been arrested, so it's no wonder that the observation post here will lose contact with the Rainbow Tower

"It's not easy. ”

The Hot Wind Mercenary Group will care about the intelligence of the Capital of Crime, not only because of the treasures contained in it, judging from the ring with the aura of chaos found on Dominic's body, this mercenary group has an inseparable relationship with the forces of Chaos, and even Lawson guesses that the treasure that their leader obtained in the depths of the shallow sea many years ago is the inheritance of the City of Crime.

It is also worth noting that the team of mages who went to the City of Sin did not return, Rosen doesn't know if these people happened to an accident or something else, but at least he confirmed that they had entered the City of Sin and were likely to be in the City of Sin now.

However, it occurred to Rosen that he still had to go to those mage apprentices first to ask about the situation.
