The guards did a detailed investigation of the parade floats and onlookers, and although it felt that it might be a wasted effort, with a small hope, the police were willing to try.

The result, of course, was nothing.

The illusionist is a rather tricky mage, and the combat and destructive power that the illusionist can exert in the city is quite amazing compared to the mage who adventures in the wild.

Especially when this illusionist also has the speed and physical ability of a thief of the same level, it is indeed very difficult to capture the opponent alive.

After this battle, An Yizhi completely eliminated the idea of capturing the other party alive, and the fighting style of this thing is a bit like a weakened version of Thunder, although it is not as good as the person who does not pretend to be a dead star in all aspects, but it is undoubtedly very tricky.

You must have beaten it, and it won't take much time, but people don't fight with you at all, and no one can turn around and run.

In the complex environment of the city, An Yizhi's dragon wings can't play too well, and the distance of the wise slate to break the illusion is not far enough, once you fly too high, people use a stealth technique + high-level phantom, you just wait to catch the blind.

What's even more disgusting is that these two spells are not too advanced things, and the grades are only D-level.

Although the arrest failed, it was not without good news.

It is likely that the opponent ran through the sewers, and the guards made it clear that the manhole cover of the sewer could not be opened on the inside, and the tenon was made quite sturdy, and there was a magic alarm. Attempting to open it from the inside will result in a special marker that can be traced by special magic.

In addition, the walls that make up the sewers were built with the problem that someone might use spells to pass through, and they were deliberately remodeled on a large scale, so spells like Thor Stone Walking Spells were absolutely impassable, and even lower-grade teleportation spells could not be used.

It is said that in the history of the empire, there have been examples of the Federation's death squads using the sewers to break into the imperial capital with the intention of assassinating the emperor to turn the tide of the war, which is why it is so troublesome.

Therefore, as long as the guards guard the sewer exit outside the city, the serial murderer is the turtle in the urn, and there is nowhere to run except to hide in the sewer.

But the problem is that the sewers in the imperial capital are too complicated.

Cara said that the imperial capital was originally a mega city, and later after the establishment of the empire, it was renovated twice, and the route below was not only intricate, but also as many as three floors.

To put it more simply, once An Yi points down, don't plan to come up in this life.

"We need a map of the sewers, otherwise we won't be able to hunt it down."

"But the circuit map is only available to the urban construction department, and it is confidential, and even our guard team has no right to access it."

Kara was studying with the head of a guard team, and since the route map had risen to the level of national security, not to mention the guards, even the Duke of Westford himself was here, and there was no way to call it out directly.

Sighing, Carla said:

"It's such a big trouble, there's no way to hide it, let your boss hurry up and write a report and submit it to His Majesty the Emperor, and the follow-up arrest work needs His Majesty's support and permission."

"This ......"

The officer hesitated, but finally nodded.

Like Carla said, there's no way to hide it.

Originally, the guards planned to settle the matter before it reached the emperor's ears, so that not only could they take the credit but also make the emperor feel that they were very good at doing things, after all, this period happened to be the Midsummer Festival, the day when the whole country celebrated.

And now it is impossible to hide it anyway, not to mention that the road map to transfer to the sewers still requires the permission of His Majesty the Emperor.

An Yi pointed at the entrance of the sewer that could only accommodate one person and said:

"Even if there is a road map, it is not enough, we have too few people, if the other party is determined to play hide and seek inside, the guards who rush down will bring him food."

"How many people can you bring in to continue this case?"

Kara asked the officer on the non-stop guard.

"At present, these people are all temporarily drawn from the patrol police, and if they go in and search, the guard can only send a maximum of 50 people, or even less."

The timing is so unfortunate, the guard force is already insufficient, and a large number of tourists poured into the imperial capital during the Midsummer Festival, and even many of the city defense troops were pulled to become city managers.

With the scale of the imperial capital's sewers, if you want to roughly search a team of at least a thousand people, and the combat effectiveness must meet the standard, a team with an average level of 10~15 like the guard team is useless, and they will deal with civil disputes, and their duties are basically no different from those of the police.

Where to find so many people, Kara's brows furrowed for a while, and An Yizhi asked:

"Don't you have any private soldiers or anything like that?"

The empire allowed the nobility to have an army, but the size was strictly limited, and the size of the private army varied according to the title.

"Yes, there is, and it's a manor outside the city, but I'm not qualified to mobilize them."

Carla is also very miserable at home, because she has never shown any outstanding ability, she is not favored, and it is already the limit to be able to bring a bodyguard at home when she goes out, and only the Duke of Westford can mobilize private soldiers at present.

"What about yours, but what about someone else? You don't have a few aristocratic friends? ”

This sentence made Kara think of something, and she said:

"Jeremiah has also dropped out of school and should be at home now."

"Who is Jerry Maia?"

Ann Yizhi had no memory of the name that popped up out of nowhere.

"The partners who acted together last time...... It's the blonde one. ”

After recalling it for a while, An Yizhi remembered the little young master who tried to use the duke's son to make himself cooperate, and the appearance of that guy pretending to be a big man still wants to laugh when he thinks about it now......

"Jeremiah is the only son in the family, and Duke Winifred is very fond of him, and it is estimated that he may mobilize his own army."

is also a child of the Duke's family, and the little golden retriever is obviously much better than Kara.

The next step was more or less that, the guard was responsible for reporting the matter to the Emperor and transferring the road map to the sewers.

Kara and Ann went to Duke Winifred's house to find the young master to be a thug, and if everything went well, the killer of the serial murder could be apprehended before dusk.

"Sister Kara!"

An Yizhi heard a very crisp greeting, and when he turned his head, he saw a seven or eight-year-old child walking over holding the hand that was supposed to be a servant, with a rather bright smile on his face.

Is it Kara's brother?

I remember that Carla said that she and her brother were the only ones in the imperial capital, and everyone else was on the front line.

Kara, on the other hand, looked a little stiff, and she turned to meet her:

"Charles, why are you here?"

The latter's smile remained unchanged:

"Of course, it's to watch the parade performance, and by the way, to see what stupidity my stupid sister is doing."

Kara was silent for a moment, then lowered her face and said:

"Charles, don't think you can ...... with your father's favor"

"Father's favor? Haha, my dear sister, when did our father, who had a cold face all the time, doted on me? ”

What he said is indeed the truth, not to mention pampering, and even the number of meetings is quite limited.

"You're here just to make some achievements so as not to be thrown out of marriage by the eldest brother and sister, but I want to say that you are not very clever in what you do."

When he said these words, Charles's young face always maintained a perfect innocent smile, which was really a little weird:

"If you are really capable, it is better to be obedient and obedient to find a nobleman to marry, and when you have an heir to kill your husband in the future, you can obtain all the rights of the nobleman by controlling the heir, which is far more reliable than what inheritance you are fighting for."

"You...... Do you know what you're talking about? ”

"Of course I do, but even if I tell you directly, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do this, so it doesn't matter what I say."

No wonder Carla said that her brother was dangerous, this was not precocious, he was simply a sperm.

As he spoke, he saw An Yizhi approaching from behind, and his original perfect smile instantly collapsed, and his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Could it be that you are Mr. Ann Yizhi?"

Why do people know me everywhere?

Charles solemnly bent down and saluted:

"It's rude, I didn't expect Mr. An Yizhi to be right in front of me, it's really unexpected."

An Yizhi didn't expect that his name was already loud, and even eight or nine-year-old children were like thunder.

As if sensing Ann's puzzlement, Charles said:

"How can anyone not know you, you are a student of the alchemist Nikolai, and a hero against the invasion of demons, I have read all your heroic deeds."

I always felt that he was mocking Kara with this sentence, and the latter's face was even more ugly:

"Where did you get this information?"

"Please, my stupid sister, do you think my father might give me the results of the intelligence officer's work? Or would someone like me swear allegiance to an eight-year-old kid? ”

He was indeed taunting Kara, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he always asked rhetorically with a particularly bright smile.

"The way I get information is nothing more than listening more, watching more, thinking more, Sister Carla, haven't you reflected on your shortcomings when you get to this point?"

An Yizhi squatted down slightly, looked into Charles's eyes and said:

"You're the one who put the eavesdropping spell in the carriage, it's a good trick, but it's too rusty."

"Sure enough, you found out, I thought I was well disguised."

He did disguise well, but it wasn't a spell, it was his expression.

The shy look he showed when he said this was simply impeccable, and he was about to catch up with An Yizhi in terms of acting skills.

"Are you doing this for the title?"

"Sort of."

Listening to the tone, he doesn't seem to care:

"One of the four pillars of the empire, one person under ten thousand people, sounds very charming, if there is a chance to inherit it, it is really good, but I also have my own ideals."

While speaking, Charles ignored his sister's expression, bowed his head and pointed to An Yi:

"Mr. An Yizhi, I have a reluctant request, can you please take me as an apprentice?"

An Yizhi said very simply:

"I'm sorry, I refuse."

"That's right......"

Charles was not particularly disappointed, but saluted goodbye very respectfully, and before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and turned his head to greet him.

"Mr. An Yizhi, although you are not willing to take me as an apprentice, please answer me a question."

"What's the problem?"

"The world...... Is it expansive? ”

"It's huge, it's bigger than you can imagine."

Satisfied with this answer, Charles saluted again, and finally took the servant's hand and walked away step by step......
