A small town, or remnants of a small town, in the Toulouse district of France.

Three years ago, it was a quiet and beautiful town, and the people lived an ordinary and happy life. However, a chance reincarnation of Roa ruined all this, and after a fierce battle, the town disappeared completely, replaced by a small lake in front of him that was not like a natural product - before coming to Maha, he went to find out, and the official version was that the town was hit by a meteorite, and thousands of people were unfortunately killed.

Cher sat on the ground, clasped her hands on her knees, and stared blankly at the rippling lake. She had been in this state for more than an hour, neither speaking nor moving, just looking at the lake so quietly.

Not far from her, Mayu sat on a broken wall that could be seen everywhere here, silently reading a book. What Cher needs now is not words of comfort, but a quiet environment.

After receiving the news of the suspected black hime, even if he was not sure, Zhenyu still decided to come over in person, and it depends on his ability whether he has gained anything or not. The original plan was just him, but Xue'er followed him after knowing the destination. The rest of the people were left in London by Zhenyu, after all, they didn't have Cher's special physique that was almost immortal. This operation, if Zhenyu's hunch is correct, is not very safe, after all, there are a lot of forces involved, and even Zhenyu can't guarantee their thoughtfulness.

After a long time, Xue'er let out a long sigh, turned her head, and reluctantly smiled at Zhenyu behind her, and said, "If you have something to do, let's go first, I want to stay here alone for a while." ”

"That's it......" Zhenyu closed the book in his hand, thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "That's fine, but you have to take care of your health, you know the contact information between the Asagami family and the Aqipolud family, if you have something, just ask them for help!" ”

"I will!"

"Then I'm leaving."

Putting away the Demon Dao Book, Mayu followed the information that the Aqipolud family got from the clock tower and went to the place where Kurohime was suspected to have appeared, after all, the longer the time dragged on, the fewer clues he could get. Speaking of which, the information is also vague, the manager saw that he didn't see Kurohime, and even the people who made him make this judgment were just two passers-by who accidentally saw Kurohime's figure, so it's no wonder he used the word "suspected".

"Fourteen or fifteen year old brunette girl? Let's hope it's her! But this style of doing things is not quite right...... Also, the clock tower seems to have been too keen on the whereabouts of the Dead Apostles lately, right? Could it be that the Barsermelo family intervened and promoted? It doesn't seem like ...... either."

Generally speaking, if the Dead Apostles and their dependents make trouble, unless they provoke the vein manager, most of the people in the Templar Church will be dealt with. It can't be helped, the Templar Church has always been so keen to know these "filthy things", if it weren't for the strength of the Magic Association to make the Templar Church quite jealous, the magician would definitely be on the purification list - now the surrogate and the magician will not greet each other with a smile, and there are also many black hands behind the scenes.

Recently, however, the Clock Tower has shown an unexpected interest in the Dead Apostles, which makes Mawa wonder. What could it be for this group of aristocratic magicians who couldn't afford to make a profit? Mayu vaguely guessed that it might be related to Kurohime or White Wing, because according to the Aqipolud family, these two are the focus of attention recently, so Mayu was able to get such a "suspected report" so quickly.

"Forget it......" Mayu shook her head, no longer bothering to think about it, "Anyway, don't get in the way of me." ”

The destination is the Lyon district, and Mayu naturally won't run over it with his feet, but fortunately, the traffic in the Lyon district is very developed, and he can easily catch a train. It took a little half a day for Mayu to arrive at the destination this time, the Lyon district. It's still small towns, which is not surprising, as similar towns are common across Europe. Some of the similar architectural styles reminded Maha's hometown, but the only difference was that the small town in front of her was much larger than Cher's.

Walking through this town, Zhen Yu frowned slightly, since he came to this town, the eyes of the residents here were not only curious, but also a little more vigilant. It seems that people's lives have not changed because of the few murders that have occurred this week, but there is still a trace of worry and restlessness in the air. Pulled a few people casually, Zhen Yu didn't talk nonsense, and directly used hints to ask about the specific situation, and after a bit of nonsense, Zhen Yu finally understood.

The first homicide in the town took place about a week ago, and at this time it was not noticed, and they believed that the police department would deal with it, but this was only the beginning. For the next few days, one person died every day, and the location was indefinite, home, alley, park, ...... Although the police department began to block the news after discovering that something was wrong, it seemed too late, and the frequent killings caused panic. Fortunately, the murder was cut off two days ago, and it seemed that the killer had left the town - and the nerves that had been tense for two days had finally eased. At the same time, a small rumor spread, saying that the dead were all killed by vampires, and some even swore that they had seen the murderer suck blood.

Knowing the general course of the matter, Zhenyu rubbed his chin: "Why does it sound like the murderer deliberately released the news to attract people?" But what's in it for her? ”

By this time, Mayu could basically be sure that it wasn't Kurohime. Although he was a little disappointed, fortunately he didn't have much hope.

Even a novice Dead Apostle wouldn't be stupid enough to make such a fuss as everyone knew about it, after all, the risk of doing so was too high, and it could easily attract the attention of the Templar Church, and even a passing magician wouldn't mind having an extra piece of material for his experiments.

"Forget it, it's none of my business."

Coming to a secluded park, Zhenyu first arranged an isolation barrier around him, after all, what he was going to do next was a bit loud, and it was daytime, so it would be troublesome for ordinary people to break in. The silent magic took shape on the ground, with a few leafless French plane trees around it as a fulcrum, and some dim lines in the daylight formed a magic circle, and after taking shape, it disappeared into the ground.

With a few gentle exhales, Mayu adjusted his state. Frankly speaking, he didn't like to use the magic tricks that followed, in addition to not being proficient, one was that he didn't like that feeling. This is not the amount of force he has access to right now.

True Feather opened his eyes, and the six-pointed star in his pupils was unprecedentedly bewitching at this time.
