"The head of the Lyle family is dead?!"

Rao is Loren was calm enough to get such news in the early morning, and he was still shocked for a moment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Standing in the alley outside the Lyle family's house, he hid in the corner and carefully looked at the house that was no different from before, and there was no sign that there had been a murder the night before. It's even a little scary, and there's not even the slightest movement.

Normally, the death of a wealthy merchant like this would have caused a storm in the city, but now it was as if nothing had happened. Even when I got the news, it was from the boy called "Hat" in front of me.

"I'm not lying!" Probably sensing a hint of distrust in Loren's expression, the hat quickly spoke, "It was last night that I heard screams coming from the house while I was sheltering from the rain at the back door of their house. By the morning, the rich Lord Lyle would be seriously ill, and the man in charge of the house would have been replaced by the Young Master Green Lyle!"

"Is there anything else to do?" Loren continued, "Is there anything unusual about their servants—just something different from usual?"

"Abnormal?" The hat was stunned for a long time: "If you want to say abnormal, the old housekeeper who usually likes to go out in the morning hasn't seen anyone else yet, is it abnormal?"

With such a big change in the family, it is not incomprehensible that this personal servant's travel has been subject to some small changes...... Of course, it is also possible that he is no longer in this world.

Either way, the other party is obviously hiding from others. Whoever killed Father Anthony now seems to be inseparable from the second son of the Lyle.

They may have to sneak in once to find enough evidence before they destroy it all.

But until then...... Loren's gaze fell back on the boy, and the hat shrank his head in fear, cautiously staring at the wizard who was not much older than himself.

"Can you tell me a reason why you're willing to help me? I'm sorry, I'm a person who doesn't like to owe favors. ”

"I—I just think you might be able to use this news. The boy quickly looked away and swallowed his saliva: "I can't go back to the barn, so ......"

"I'm not a rich man, but ......," Loren smiled, took out a small bag of silver coins from his pocket and handed it to the boy, "I know how to be grateful." ”

With that, he stood up and turned to leave. The hat quickly put away the money bag and followed Loren's back to catch up: "You can still use me in the future, wizard master - there is no place in the whole Gumu Town that I don't know." And I'm small, no one cares about me, I can help you a lot!"

Looking at the boy's expectant gaze, Loren hesitated for a moment...... Indeed, if you can have a snake like this, you can save yourself a lot of trouble, and an extra pair of eyes can also help you find your blind spot - just like this time.

"So be it, Hat, help me keep an eye on the church. Loren patted the boy's hat on his head: "If you notice any strangers, especially those who are clearly not locals, wandering around, you tell me immediately." ”

"Don't worry, Master Wizard!" said the swearing-hat, swearing-along, patting the small pocket full of silver coins, and then disappeared down the alley like a wild cat.

"Hopefully it won't be a bad decision. Talking to himself, Loren turned and left the alley, leaning against the corner towards the Lyle's house.

It's a house that's pretty fine just to look at, with high walls and a three-story attic, and it's half a castle in a country like Gumu. It is impossible to build such a mansion with money alone, and more importantly, the Lyle family is also a branch of a certain nobleman, so they are allowed to own such a mansion.

Bloodline and status are the same thing in this world - a person who does not have even a trace of aristocratic blood in his body is destined to be a poor man forever, and a poor man should always be a poor man. This is why Isaac's qualifications have broken through the sky in Wimpal, but they are still impossible to accommodate the apprentices who are the youngest sons of the aristocratic and rich.

They will never be able to accept the harsh reality that a man from a peasant background, so lowly that he can't be lower, has more talent and intelligence than all of them combined multiplied by two.

Loren, who raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, looked carefully at the mansion - this kind of walled house often gives people the illusion of security, the wall is nearly three meters high, and it is easy to be found if you want to use any props, which can be said to be a simple and crude anti-theft method.

But on the other hand, as long as you enter not from above but from below, the wall is almost like an ornament. Squatting down and looking at the sewage outlet next to the back door, Loren was ready to remove it directly.

"Huh?"

Loren, who had not yet touched the railing of the sewage outlet, vaguely felt something, took out some clean water from behind his back, and poured it down the sewage outlet. As a result, everything that was not left flowed outside.

In other words, eighty percent of this house is inhabited by a somewhat capable spellcaster.

"Why am I not surprised at all?"

Loren smiled and muttered to himself as he took out another alchemical compound that Ain had prepared for him—the Insight.

It's simple, but it's brutal. As long as the Void Power has been used to sprinkle a little bit, it can all be clearly displayed.

At the level of alchemy, a small wizard is no longer at the level of an apprentice - only age and experience limit this genius alchemist.

Really...... From the back door of the house, to the nearby wall, and even the place where I had almost stepped on before, there were illusions and traps set up almost everywhere near the back door -- the sewage outlet was a trick, the tip of a gun was stuck in the wall, and the doorknob was actually stuffed with an ignition agent! If you pry the door, I am afraid that as soon as the wire is pierced, the sparks that splash out will set you on fire!

Since the other party has even prepared the trap, I am afraid that there are already people in the house waiting for him to come to the door, and it is really not his own style to venture into such a place - even if he has to fight, it should be on his home turf.

However, the other party is already so enthusiastic, if he doesn't leave something, it seems that he is a little reluctant to go...... The corners of his mouth were slightly curled, and he already had an idea.

In any case, you must also make the other party feel your sincerity.

.................. "cunning fox." ”

I don't know when, the tall thin man who returned to the back alley of the house, looked at the back door that he had carefully arranged and was turned into a mess, and he held back for a long time before he said such a sentence.

I really underestimated this wizard apprentice. Although the Wimpal Academy is all a group of unscrupulous people, since they will send this apprentice over, it means that he still has two skills, and it is not comparable to ordinary apprentices.

What's more, the fact that Draco and his ghoul died at the hands of this apprentice is even more telling—this apprentice is definitely a scourge, an uncertain element, and there will be endless troubles if you don't clean him up!

The man who snorted coldly shook the corner of his robe, and just as he was about to leave, he found that something was not quite right, the original doorknob had been replaced, and a wooden bottle was inserted in a grand manner. There are also three words "ignition agent" written, for fear that I don't know.

Is it provoking yourself? The man smiled coldly and looked at the "new doorknob", which was completely stuck directly on it, not even a mechanism, and could be taken down with a single stroke.

Sure enough, the other party is just an apprentice - there is no combustible substance, and the ignition agent is just a bottle of water, and it is really ignorant to expect to use such crude means to intimidate himself!

The man didn't hesitate to hold the bottle of the ignition agent, just in case he sprinkled some water on the bottle, so that no sparks could appear anyway.

"Let me witness your stupidity and ignorance, fox!" the man sneered, pulling hard......

"Boom-!!!!"
