Click, click, the sound of footsteps in the water of leather shoes sounded in the deserted alley, and two men in black robes looked around, as if looking for something or somewhere.

It's Chicago's oldest neighborhood, with narrow, dark alleys filled with standing water and walls that were once repainted on both sides are peeling off.

The harsh environment has caused most of the indigenous people to move out of the area, but the low rental prices have also attracted some of the less affluent people from the lower classes, and the place has not been deserted.

However, with the release of the government's evacuation news, this is also one of the first places to be emptied, after all, it is only here to live temporarily, and there is no need to leave your life here.

This also made it easier for the two black-robed men to search here, at least no one would bother them, and of course, there would be no good Samaritan to answer their questions.

"Hell, is it really here?" One of them, a chubby black-robed man, almost fell into the sewer, and the inconspicuous-looking puddle beneath his feet was actually emerging from the sewer, and the ground had eroded out of a large hole at some point.

Looking at the two dead rats floating out of the water, the black-robed man let out a disgusted voice, "Although there are rat people among our subordinates, I still don't like this creature. ”

"Oh? Isn't the Black Death that you wizards are studying spread to the whole continent of Europe through these little guys, and that's a feat that time when we had to check if it was clean before sucking blood. ”

These two black-robed people are the Speaker and Deputy Speaker Edward, who came out of the headquarters secretly, and the Speaker who has been in a high position all the year round is obviously not very suitable for this kind of hands-on work, of course, the environment here is indeed too bad.

The Speaker, who was slightly sarcastically sneered by Edward, shut up, and now that there were no outsiders, Edward was reminding him of the actual status of the two.

"It's really strange, this is obviously a very important node, why hasn't any breath leaked out?" Seeing that the Speaker was so knowledgeable about current affairs, Edward did not continue to stimulate him, after all, he still needed this old guy, and there was no need to go too far.

"Could it be that someone else has already come here and set up a magic circle?" The Speaker of the House gave his opinion.

"I don't know, at least we don't have any records of organizations that use these nodes." Edward sighed as well, this kind of non-directed search was too time-consuming, and the situation on the battlefield was not optimistic, he was afraid that the group of garbage in the Wizarding Guild would be completely defeated before they could achieve their goal.

After looking in the alley for a while, they stood in front of a house, and both of them looked at the building with a little distraction.

It's a very small church, quite old-fashioned, all wooden, and looks like a product of the times when the city of Chicago was founded.

What's even stranger is that the tall red brick apartment buildings around it indicate that it has not been developed, but why hasn't the church been renovated?

What's more, what intrigued the duo was that although the church looked a little dilapidated, it was only the result of natural weathering, and it wasn't as full of human garbage as it was around.

The two men walked past the federal danger sign at the entrance and into the chapel, which was as old as the outside, with a wooden cross in front of a short row of four wooden benches, and there was not even a statue of Jesus on it.

"Do you feel anything?" Edward looked around and asked the Speaker.

"Nothing, what?" The Grand Speaker replied with a frown, although Edward may be superior to him in terms of status, but the Grand Speaker does not think that he is inferior to the other party in terms of strength.

"Huh." A smile appeared on Edward's chubby face, "It's strange, I just let out a hint of magic, but you didn't feel it. Something seems to be there here, blocking the breath from being exposed. ”

He stomped his feet on the spot again, kicking up a puff of dust, "I'm afraid we've found the right place, such a small church was built here to suppress the node, although I don't know what method was used, but we should have found the right place." ”

"Let's go, let's take a look." Edward walked first into the depths of the chapel, and the Speaker reluctantly followed him.

On the top of the building, not far from the chapel, three men stood on the edge and looked at the chapel, and a gust of wind blew, and their clothes were almost blown into a flat surface, but the three of them did not move.

"See what?" Lee asked.

"No, but this place is really strange, it seems that only people with magic power can see it, or it can't explain that there are so many homeless people around but none of them have entered this church, and in the face of hunger and cold, faith is not uncompromising." Standing with him was Erwin, the chapel that piqued his interest, and of course, the remaining one was the Gilles' butler, who was almost inseparable from him.

"There must be a very peculiar magic circle in here, well, let's go back and see if we can study it." Erwin stared at the little house with interest.

"Well, if that magic circle can stand up to your years. Let's go, now that we've arrived at our destination, we can do it too. Mr. Giles, would it be convenient for you to sit aside? I think it's two good opponents for Erwin and me. ”

The old butler nodded, yes, with him by his side, what else is there to worry about, it's good to let the little ones exercise and exercise, after all, opponents with similar strength are not easy to find.

Of course, if the old guy knew that this guy Li was afraid that he was unreliable and had ambushed him, it would be hard to say whether he would be angry and help the opponent beat him together.

The two of them easily landed on the ground, and also walked into the small church, looking at the empty room, Erwin pouted, "Punching holes everywhere like two mice, can't you honestly fight on the ground." ”

Li Haha smiled and patted him, "Come on, isn't it that the magic circle has also suppressed your perception, don't nag like a woman, this prohibition seems to be fair to everyone, are you still afraid that you won't be able to beat those two old bones." There is an old Chinese saying that if you are afraid of being strong, you should beat them hard to relieve your anger. ”

At this moment, a terrifying energy came from the ground, rushing straight into the sky, but fortunately, Li was alert and immediately pulled Erwin out.

As soon as they ran 50 meters away, there was a loud bang behind them, and the two looked back, and the small church and the ground where they were located were reduced to ashes in front of them, and a violent energy rushed into the sky, leaving only a large hole in its place.

The two of them watched the energy dissipate in the sky blankly, swallowed and spat together, and by the way, they felt a little sorry for the two people of the Wizarding Society, under the impact of this energy, there was probably nothing left.
