Chapter 2089: Ash Annihilation at Dawn (21)

At the same time, in the black market in Cairo.

"Tsk. Bediwell snorted irritably. It's not easy to find two kiddies who have snuck out in this bustling market. No matter how crowded there are here, those two little ghosts will definitely not show themselves in such a place in order to not be so easy to find out. Coupled with the fact that the people in the market are hurrying back and forth, who would notice the two low-key imps?

The longer it drags on, the worse the problem becomes. God knows if the academy or some evil organization has already targeted the two imps?Bediwell was anxious as he tried to calm himself down, knowing that only by being calm could he really find a solution to the problem.

"Boss, what's going on over there?" said Lawrence's voice over the communicator.

Bediwell subconsciously pushed the communicator hanging in his ear: "Very bad. Nothing has progressed. In such a crowded place, even my nose is not good. Do you have any news from there?"

"I don't have any clues on my side. He replied, "Since things have become so difficult, I have a proposal." Slightly riskier, but worth a try. ＂

"Say it quickly. ＂

"We can try to use spells to track down the people who have been cursed. I remember you said that the little tiger had been spelled, right? Spell Fire is very sensitive to other people's spells, and may be able to track down the two children. ＂

The werewolf youth couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Oh, can spells even do this kind of thing?"

In fact, not only Aubert, but even Kate was cursed, and the spells limited them, preventing them from revealing certain information.

"After all, using spells to track spells is like magnets attracting each other, just going with the flow. Lawrence replied.

"I understand the reason," the werewolf youth asked again, "but what are the risks you are talking about?"

"Well...... Lawrence muttered something that Bediwell couldn't hear before adding, "Spells are not common in Egypt, but they are not rare. I guess you'll find at least two or three conjurers in this Cairo market alone. Normally, a sorcerer likes to hide his identity, because using a spell to cast a spell on someone else is a form of sorcery.

If we foolishly take out the fire of the spell to trace the traces of the spell, if we are lucky, we will be able to find the two children immediately, and there will be no trouble. If we're unlucky, the spell fire may not take us to the two children, but to other spell masters, directly debunking each other's identities. This can turn out to be an offense to other conjurers, and the offense can cause unnecessary ...... Fight. ＂

"I see. Is that what you're worried about? Bediwell sighed, "Okay, don't make a move. I'll just do it. I'm still a beginner, and I don't know anyone in the wizard community here in Cairo, so even if I accidentally break the identity of another magician, I can simply apologize. ＂

"If it were that simple, it would be done...... Lawrence muttered.

"Finding the two imps is the top priority now, and I don't have to worry about other things so much. Bediwell then said, "Tell me what to do." ＂

"First of all, please go into an alley where no one is around, and don't be seen in public that you are using spells. Lawrence said.

"Aren't you coming along?" Bediwell had just finished speaking, when he suddenly understood something, and immediately changed his words, "Oh, yes, it's not good for other sorcerers to see you with me." I get it. ＂

"I'm sorry. The sorcerer apologized unilaterally.

By this time, Bediwell had already walked into a deep alley with no people, and the black market in Cairo was an area divided into urban areas, and there were still a lot of such terrains, especially after dark, and there were more places where the surrounding lights could not be illuminated.

"Now, use your spell fire. Lawrence's voice came over the walkie-talkie, "I kept silently chanting [to trace the traces of the spell], reciting it back and forth thousands of times, and then waiting for the fire of the spell to respond." ＂

"That's an exaggeration. Bediwell spat as he spread out his right palm and began to use the spell fire. Despite this, he did as Lawrence instructed, silently reciting the phrase [Trace of Spell].

The activation of a spell is the process by which the user communicates with the fire of the spell and creates a linkage with each other. Now this practice is actually very similar to ordinary spells, and it should be said that this can be regarded as a basic spell, a spell called "tracking the traces of spells".

Then, soon, in response to Bediwell's request, the spell fire in the werewolf youth's hand began to change from the shape of a fireball to a string of flames. Just as Bediwell couldn't understand what was going on, trying to understand what the spell fire was trying to do, the barely hot string of flames in his hand began to flutter, as if it had been blown by the wind.

There was no wind around, but the flames were moving. Moreover, the direction in which the flame is moving is constant and steady, pointing somewhere deep in the alley, not at all as if it is blown by an ordinary air current, but the flame has a life of its own, and is moving in a certain direction for a certain purpose.

Seeing this, Bediwell instantly understood that this was the effect of "tracking the traces of spells". The spell fire in his hand had succeeded in tracking the remaining traces of spells around him, and instructed the werewolf youth to follow the trails it had tracked.

Will you be able to find Kate and Aubert by following the direction of the flames, or will you run into other sorcerers and get into trouble?

The werewolf youth didn't think much about it, just stared at the direction of the flames and began to walk.

"It's already moving. He spoke to the communicator as he walked: "How can you take a step and shake it, so unstable? Can I run?"

"No, moving too fast will affect the tracking ability of the spell fire. It is better to maintain a normal walking speed. Lawrence replied.

"It's a nuisance. Bediwell complained. There was no time to waste, but he had to keep walking at this pace.

"Actually, I really don't understand why you conjurers don't like to let people get to the bottom of you. Then Bediwell muttered again, "As a user of spells, wouldn't it be nice to have more communication once in a while?" ＂

"Spellcasters are such people, boss. Except for the master and apprentice who have personally passed on the fire of spells and have the same lineage, no one can believe it. Lawrence's low hum came from the other end of the microphone: "Spelling, after all, is a spell for spelling." Casting a spell on yourself, making yourself stronger, and doing what you can't do is only one side of the spell. Don't forget that spells can also be used to cast spells on others, just like those unknown guys who cast spells on those two children. Depending on the situation, spells can be useful spells that strengthen oneself, or they can become evil spells that curse others and are spurned by the world. In ancient Egypt, the latter was more widely used. ＂

"However, everyone has a biological force field called the [Absolute Domain], and even using hypnosis may not be able to manipulate those who are strong in willpower and [Absolute Domain] strong enough, right?" the werewolf youth snorted, "Didn't we already know this? It's much more difficult to spell others than to yourself, isn't there? ＂

"The problem is that a lot of people in the world don't know anything [in the absolute realm] at all, and there are a lot of people who don't know much about spells and think that spells are just unilateral spells for people. Once upon a time, sorcerers were often unilaterally persecuted, and some people were considered disgusting simply because they knew how to use spells. Therefore, it is normal for a sorcerer to be ostracized, and it is also normal for a sorcerer to reject others and not want to reveal their secrets to the world. This notion has been ingrained for hundreds or even thousands of years, and it will not be easily changed by the changing times. ＂

"I see. The werewolf youth sighed, "Human society is really ...... Troublesome. But I've used spells in previous Trials of the Round Table tournaments, and my fights have been televised live and the whole world is likely to see them. Is that okay?"

"It shouldn't be a problem, most of the spells you use are original spells, boss. Those who don't know can't understand it at all, thinking that it is some kind of fire magic. Those in the know will definitely understand you, and they will not talk nonsense. ＂

"Okay. Hearing Lawrence say this, Bediville was a little relieved.

It seems that not to reveal other people's secrets is an unwritten rule in the circle of sorcerers. The fact that Bediwell "can use spells" should not be easily known by the general public. In fact, even if it was known to the whole world, it would not cause any harm to the werewolf youth------ he was originally from Western Siberia, an unknown Eskimo.

At this moment, the flames of the spell fire in Bediwell's hands soared higher and shook more violently. Needless to say, the reaction of that spell trace should be very close.

According to Lawrence, anyone who has been cursed will leave traces of spells, which can be traced with the fire of spells. The fact that the two children were cursed was a known condition, so it was only natural that they could be traced. The reason why other spellcasters were able to track it in the same way, Bediwell's understanding is that the spellmaster would engrave a special spell mark on himself (or on his belongings), which means that the spell is actually a spell that the spellmaster has placed on himself.

"Anyway...... If both children had spells on them, how fierce would this thing be reacting?" Bediwell looked at the fierce reaction of the spell fire in his hand, and then looked at the deepest part of the alley in the distance, and felt that something was wrong, so he asked.

"Well, it's hard to explain, a spell mark would probably make the flames rise an inch high. So two add up...... Is it two inches?" replied Lawrence, not quite sure.

Bediwell looked at the long flame in his hand.

"So...... What about a fire that is dozens of inches high?Is my spell fire show funny?" he asked in a trembling whisper. The flames rose higher and higher, almost above his head, illuminating the otherwise dark alley.

"Oh no! Boss, run!" Lawrence exclaimed, "That reaction was definitely not a trace of spells on the two children, it was probably another spell master...... And it's a high-level sorcerer with many spells engraved on his body!!"

"What?" Bediwell was startled and hurriedly stepped back.

But it was too late for him to do so!

At the end of the alley he was tracking, another flash of fire suddenly lit up.

Someone with the spark had slowly stepped out of the corner.
