"See it all!" Green's question went unanswered, and everyone present seemed to be still immersed in the image just now.

The "Tracer Magic" is indeed quite powerful, and it is basically a complete restoration of the situation at that time. The fact is obvious, it is not known who built this magic array here, and at the same time activated it one day. As a result, all the people within the influence of the magic array were hit by spiritual magic, and their brains were damaged and they died.

Brain damage is what Mage Setie said.

"No wonder the investigators at the time did not find any superficial damage, nor did they show signs of poisoning. General Kim sighed.

Setie agrees with him, "Brain death, when a person is completely unconscious, is equivalent to death, but you don't see any appearance on the outside, and you will even think that he is just sleeping peacefully." In spiritual magic, there are beings that can cause this kind of damage, but that generally only affects the individual, and such a large range of magic must be done with the help of magic arrays. ”

Setie was still explaining that her two companions, Pete and Angelina, were busy in the dead grass with some special tools. "What are they doing?" asked Green, curiously.

"Oh, they're measuring the traces of magic, although the tracking magic is magical, it can show what happened not long ago, but it is a 'memory' borrowed from the magic element, and if you want to restore the situation more realistically, you have to rely on them to measure it in detail. ”

Fortunately, Pete and Angelina's work was completed soon, and when they came to Setty's side, Pete looked at the handwriting in his hand: "The level of magic energy is not very high, it should be a beginner magician, but the means of the magic array are very clever, in the records of our court magicians, we have not seen similar methods, and this magic array is very skillful, we think that he should use it for the first time." ”

"Oh, the remnants of the magic circle?" asked Setty, and Pete and Angelina nodded at the same time.

"What's going on?" Grimm, General King, and Earl Norton beside him were all interested.

"We know that the nobles of the Magic Empire discovered the use of magic, and that a great deal of magic was all but lost with the fall of the Magic Empire. We, the court magicians of San Jose, have kept some fragments, but over the years, we have gradually discovered some magic left over from that era on the mainland, which is usually secretly circulated in certain families, and we call it legacy magic. ”

"Oh, I get it when you say that. Green suddenly realized from the sidelines, "Over the years, the Adventurers' Guild has dealt with some dark magic incidents, and most of them, the lovers of dark magic, have learned a few words from family ruins or the mouths of older generations. I remember a crazy boy who was so poor that he dug up his ancestral grave because of the hardships of his life, and found a few records of dark spells among the burial goods of his ancestors. As a result, at that time, the Kingdom of Southern Madur also set off a disaster. ”

Hearing this, Earl Norton couldn't help but snort, "If you want me to say, the ancestors of your merchant alliance back then shouldn't have sympathized with those neutral magic nobles, like us Desik, kill all the magicians in the territory, oh I'm sorry, Mage Setty, I didn't mean you, kill them all, isn't there no such thing?"

Setie shook her head and didn't mind, "The allure of magic is so great that it will fascinate everyone who comes into contact with it. ”

Now that Pete and Angelina have done their work, everyone discussed it and felt that there were not many clues here. Earl Norton thinks that this trip is actually in vain, and they have obtained no more information than Captain Colby back then.

"No, there's something to gain!" Mage Setie disagreed. It turns out that the royal court magicians of San Jose, as the only legal magician organization left in the mainland, have always participated in the tasks of the adventurer's guild, and once the adventurer's guild finds a dark magician who can't be solved, they will often turn to the court magician for help.

As for court magicians, their essence is actually an organization of scholars, accustomed to collecting everything they see about magic, and magic is an independent and very characteristic occult.

"Can you say something I understand!" Green dissatisfied.

Mage Pete, who was explaining the principles of magic, froze and didn't know how to continue. Setie glared at Green, who was startled and muttered, "I just don't understand!"

Setie went on to explain.

Different magicians, when they cast magic, have different effects on the magical elements in the air, so each magician, when using magic, has different imprints. And we, the court magicians, have collected a large number of magic records when helping the Adventurers' Guild deal with magical events.

"So, what you're collecting here, you can compare your previous records and see if it helps?" General Kim was the first to understand.

"That's right!"

The Earl of Norton on the side thought for a moment, "But it's still not right, even if you can find something in the previous records, you can't help us capture the main people of these mysterious events?"

"Green and I believe that the dark magic events that have occurred in recent years are definitely not isolated. It's like, in the Manning incident and the Westborder Bridge incident, there were magic arrays, and here, this huge magic array, won't make you suspect anything. "If we can connect the wizard's traces here with what happened before, or even the last two vicious events, then it proves that..."

"It proves that everything is organized and premeditated, and there really is an organization that has opened huge cobwebs behind the mainland. Before Setie could finish speaking, General King and Earl Norton understood exactly what she meant.

"Pete, Angelina, and quickly contact the Kyoto City headquarters. Seeing that everyone had a unified understanding, Setie also instructed the two magician companions to hurry up and handle it.

The rest of the people were looking around at the dilapidated manor, "Is this dilapidated manor, since your crown prince died, there is no heir?"

"Not really. The Earl of Norton replied, "His Royal Highness the former crown prince had three sons and one daughter, the two princes were not in good health in their early years and died early, the little prince Kuigang died in the Principality of Kaman, and now the former crown prince is led by Princess Elizabeth, so legally speaking, this estate belongs to Princess Elizabeth." ”

"Oh, then why is this place so dilapidated?" Grimm wondered.

"This Princess Elizabeth is more mysterious, she and her uncle, the Duke of Bazemore, have always been the two most mysterious members of the entire Desik royal family, even I, who has lived in White Rock City all year round, rarely see them. ”

"You can't let this place go to waste forever. ”

"It's not surprising that De Sik is very poor, but the De Sik royal family is not poor, like this kind of manor outside the city, the entire royal family adds up to more than hundreds, except for the royal affairs officer who knows each specific manor, I'm afraid even the royal family members themselves can't figure it out. This place was abandoned as early as when the former crown prince was alive, and it is difficult to say whether the princess knew about the existence of this place. ”

"That's a shame. Green sighed.

General Jin did not participate in their discussion, and stood there quietly, the cane in his hand lightly tapping on the ground, as if observing a few people in the field, the golden wolf-headed short stick on his waist, dangling and shining in the sun.

Green and Setie's seriousness in their investigation impressed General King. According to them, starting with Manning, Green has been following that intermittent trail, all the way to the Desik border, and then to White Rock. He is the leader of the high-ranking hunter group of the Adventurers' Guild, but he is always on the edge of life and death, although his purpose is different, fate has linked himself to them.

"Lord Green, Mage Setty", General Kim suddenly asked in a loud voice, "do you know that Darkness is rising?"

Earl Norton looked at General Jin in surprise, he didn't expect that General Jin would actually mention "Dark Rising" to them, a term that he didn't understand.

Looking at the confused Green and Setie, General King explained to them that in Desik, there was a mysterious person who contacted him and Earl Norton, leaving behind the clues of the so-called Rise of Darkness. Judging from the current investigation, it is likely that this shadow organization hanging over Desik is likely to be the "Rise of Darkness" mentioned in the mysterious man's letter.

"If what you say is right, the energy of this Dark Rising Organization is unimaginable, spanning so many years of time and latitude, but it is expanding more and more. Setie thought for a moment, "Green, what do you think?"

Green thought of something else, "Who are you talking about the mysterious man?"

This time it was the Earl of Norton who explained it, and when he saw that General King seemed to have made up his mind, he stopped holding back, "We suspect that it was a magician." General Kim and I once went to Black Harbor City to meet at his request, where we once entered a wonderful space, a space that did not seem to exist in this world, and there we found a letterhead left by a mysterious man, which mentioned the Rise of Darkness. ”

"Space magic!" exclaimed Sytie, "that's amazing!"

"What's wrong, Sytie?" said Green, looking at Mage Setty quizzically.

"If Earl Norton is not wrong, I think you entered a unique space created by spatial magic, where you will not be followed, wiretapped, or left behind. ”

"Is it so amazing?"

"No, this is not the most wonderful place, the most wonderful thing is that so far, the entire court magicians of San Jose have only seen a few words of large-scale spatial magic in the remnants of the books left by the Magic Empire, and no magician will use such a large intensity of spatial magic, like me, or the Grand Magus Merlin, our spatial magic is limited to being able to collect some personal items. And listening to your description, the entire space you were in at that time was made of space magic. ”

"In that case, I'm more interested in the identity of the mysterious man, isn't it, Earl Norton?" General Kim's eyes lit up.
