Chapter 16: The Compass of Inspiration

The Royal Guards were clearly coming for the wolves. Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.info Captain Alex Sandra quietly pinched his mustache, which was his habitual action, especially when it came to something very pleasant, and the frequency of finger rubbing was even more. In recent years, the "Wild Wolves" bandit gang has been roaming around Agrim, specifically against the wealthy, and is very rampant. Their leader, codenamed "Wolf Spirit", was even more difficult, and Captain Alex Sandra suffered from him several times. These people are secretive, and they disappear without a trace immediately after robbing the house, and there is no way to find out.

Fortunately, there was that person who reported the news, otherwise who would have thought that the "wild wolf" would be lurking in the "Pandora" troupe. Moreover, the headache "wolf" is still the famous Rod. Thinking of this, Captain Alex couldn't hide a smug smile on his face, and he recalled the conspiracy with that person in Rhodes' dressing room before the performance, and his heart was overjoyed, if he had followed that person's plan, "Wolf Spirit" should have fallen into their trap by now, and used necromancy to deal with the living, and the result was obvious. In this way, it can not only avoid a head-on clash between the Praetorian Guard and the brave and warlike "wolf spirit", but also avoid the trouble after arrest, which is really a win-win solution!

The vice-captain methodically organizes the bewildered spectators to leave, and in the midst of a burst of protests, Captain Alex watches his men beautifully carry out the arrest mission. On stage and backstage, the members of "Wild Wolf" and "Pandora" are mixed together, and they may not be noticeable at ordinary times. However, once the fight starts, it will be clear immediately. Those brave and skilled fighters were especially "favored" by the Praetorian Guards, and several people fought around a wild wolf, and in this way, within a quarter of an hour, both on the stage and in the backstage, all the personnel were bowed to the long swords of the guards.

They were on their knees on the stage with their hands tied. Those who could fight were lined up in a separate row and heavily guarded. Fortunately or unfortunately, Lucia was placed in the "Pandora" group, because she did not put up any resistance when she was arrested. In fact, it's not that she doesn't resist, it's that she can't.

Putting aside the fact that Lucia's spiritual power is declining and her magic power is unstable, let's just talk about the Royal Praetorian Guard. Unlike other countries, Egreme's Royal Praetorian Guard has two in total. They were subordinate to Prince Skill and Prince Klad, each with his own master. In recent years, Prince Clad has gradually gained control of the maritime trade, making a fortune, and his Praetorian Guard has followed suit, improving everything from weapons to equipment, including resistance to demons.

Unfortunately, the Praetorian Guard led by Captain Alexsandra was none other than Prince Clad's. Perhaps in the past, Lucia had the ability to break through it, but since stepping foot on the land of Elgrim, Lucia has found that her points are getting worse and worse.

Although the Royal Theatre of Agrim was quiet again, the number of people on stage was the largest it had ever been. Some people are afraid to speak, and some are gagged because of swearing. The only sound on the entire stage was the sound of Captain Alex's leather shoes hitting the floor.

He paced back and forth, watching the two groups of people kneeling on the stage from left to right, right to left, several times. Then he frowned and said, "Why are there so few people?"

The captain of the Praetorian Guard was obviously referring to the side of the wild wolf, after all, compared with the "Pandora" of more than 30 people, the "wild wolf" with only five people is indeed too few, but "Pandora" is a group of powerless plays, whether it is a robber or a wild wolf, it can't catch up.

Personal stance aside, Lucia feels the same way as him. There were only five of Wolf's men, and in Lucia's intuition, there should be one more ...... Could it be hidden inside "Pandora"?

"Hey, you're all Pandora?" Captain Alex asked.

More than 30 people nodded together and hurriedly said "yes".

"They ......," the captain of the Praetorian Guard raised his hand and pointed at the five men of the wolf, "you all know each other?"

More than 30 people shook their heads together and said "I don't know" reads;

Alex Sandra said impatiently: "You elect a representative, don't be a group of people whining, Lao Tzu is troubled!"

So, the director spoke, before that, Lucia had always thought that he was just a director, but he didn't expect to be the head of "Pandora", which really has no sense of existence!

"Yes, we don't know each other, they were all brought by Rhodes, and they usually do some rough work, we can say hello at most when we meet, and there is no other contact!"

"After being in the same league with wild wolves for so long, your words may not be credible. ”

The regimental commander hurriedly pleaded: "Sir, we are really innocent, you look at us like this, how can we be robbers, let alone slash and kill others, we can't even hold a sword! Besides, we don't know magic!"

The first few sentences are still reasonable, and the last sentence is really redundant! Lucia thought so, but Alex was the complete opposite, and the last sentence of the regiment commander made him suddenly enlightened. Indeed, being an actor does not require the ability to actually wield a weapon, and at the same time, you do not need the ability to magic.

Alex whispered a few words to the vice-captain, who quickly walked out. Lucia secretly raised her head to look at the captain of the Praetorian Guard, his expression was indifferent, and he looked confident.

"If there are still members of the wild wolves in your group, it's best to stand up now, otherwise, when my deputy captain comes back, I will find you out one by one, and then don't blame me for being rude!"

Alex Sandra's threatening words echoed through the empty theater, and as he expected, no one came forward. All the members of "Pandora", including Lucia, bowed their heads and remained silent.

Soon, the vice-captain came back with one more thing in his hand, and it was an antique box.

"A friend gave me a gift. "Alex didn't hurry and opened the box," he said...... Compass of Inspiration......"

Lucia's heart "chuckled", this compass of inspiration, she knew. It is recorded in the Magic Book written by the Grand Magician Montfellow. The Inspiration Compass originated in the East and was used to detect demonic energy in the early days. Later, with the improvement of the spiritual power of the magic manipulators in the East, the exploration of demonic energy mostly came from their own perception and experience judgment. As a result, the Compass of Inspiration disappeared from the sight of magical players for a while. Until a Western magician toured the east, he accidentally found that this prop can not only measure demonic energy, but also measure the spiritual power of magicians, so he brought it back to reads;. At present, the Inspiration Compass is also rarely seen in actual battles, and is mostly used in the entrance and promotion assessment of magic schools. Of course, there are also many opponents who question the accuracy of the compass, so it is only used to assist in testing, which can be said to be a very unpopular prop.

Alex Sandra took out an inspiration disc with a diameter of 30 centimeters, and a hand on the patina dial was trembling slightly. Unfamiliar characters and mysterious patterns divide the plate into twelve zones, from the first to the twelfth, showing the level of the tested's spiritual power from the lowest to the highest.

"I want to play a game with you," Alex Sandra said with the compass and walked like "Pandora", "do you like spinning wheels?"

From the unknown eyes of the others, Lucia could tell that no one present had ever been exposed to magic except herself. Seeing Sandra walking towards her, her heart tightened.

Alex Sandra will point at each member of "Pandora", the pointer is either not moving, or only hovering in the first zone, this level of spiritual power is the same as a woman's sixth sense, and it is not threatening. This boring game continues, and the time is in the middle of nowhere, and the ordinary people who are in the middle of nowhere, the captain of the Praetorian Guard, and the conflicted Lucia. Finally, the compass was sent to Lucia.

Lucia guessed that it might be Twelve, and she was confident in her spiritual powers. But at the same time, she also felt that it was very likely to be one, the highest to two, and the reason was also very clear, in recent times, her spiritual power has inexplicably dropped sharply, even if it has dropped to one, it is not surprising. Although the two possibilities coexist, at this juncture, she would rather be the second.

The pointer was already aimed at her, and Lucia unconsciously ducked back. The compass began to work! The moment the results came out, everyone present, including Lucia, took a deep breath. The hands of the Inspiration Compass rotate at an astonishing speed. One, two, three...... It's not as simple as District 12 anymore!Captain Alex Sandra's beard is about to be cocked!

Like the Captain of the Praetorian Guard, Lucia was dumbfounded. Perhaps she knows the Inspiration Compass better than him, if the first to twelfth districts are to measure the spiritual power of the magician, then such a rapid rotation will be mistaken for the spiritual power of the person being measured. But don't forget, the Inspiration Compass was originally used to measure demonic energy, and there is only one possibility for this condition, the subject has demonic energy on or near it, and the demonic energy is very heavy!

But Captain Alexsandra did manage to mistake Lucia's spiritual powers. "Haha, sure enough, there is a fish that slipped through the net!" With the captain's order, the tips of more than a dozen long swords were carefully aimed at her.
