In the dark house, a large number of ghost babies silently crawled out of the cracks in the stone beams, and they formed a group of three or five, walking towards their respective destinations.

The number of ghost babies is very large, but under the control of the magic sword, these creatures with low intelligence can also maintain good order, and soon, except for a small wave of ghost babies who were appointed to tour the corridors outside the casting room, the rest of the ghost babies all dissipated into the darkness.

The disappearance of the shadow assassin would obviously arouse the vigilance of the magic sword, and when Duran first crossed through the dark corridor, not only was there no ordinary ghost babies in that corridor, but even the corridor outside Biyombo's room was empty and silent, but at this time, the situation was different, a patrol team of fourteen ghost babies was patrolling closely.

"It seems that Oberpheus should have discovered something abnormal, but I don't know how much wisdom these ghost babies have, and to what extent can they communicate with the magic sword?" Duran thought silently in his heart that he had been attacked by the first wave of ghost babies as he was walking down Second Street. He still remembers the scene at that time, these murderous guys did not lose their discipline, but chose to wait for the battle and secretly ambush.

It can be seen that at that time, these ghost babies were instructed by Oberfis, but from the perspective of time, it was close to twelve o'clock in the middle of the night at that time, and the magic sword was probably in a hurry to enter the sleeping period and had to choose to order the ghost babies to retreat temporarily. Duran had previously learned from Biyombo that the Magic Sword's slumber period was fixed, and during the slumber period, he could be awakened, but at a great cost.

"Oppenpheus, who discovers the signs of an outsider invasion and at the same time kills his most capable men, will surely become furious and shocked, and this is often an opportunity." Duran calmly analyzed: "If outsiders get that hammer, the magic sword will definitely be very unhappy, so one or a group of these ghost babies who left the casting room must have been assigned by the magic sword to transfer the hammer to other places......

It's a pity that Duran has been observing in the dark for a long time before, and he hasn't seen any clues from these ghost babies who are all similar in appearance. To him, the monsters were all the same ugly, and they were about the same size, and they were all in groups with each other, and few were left alone—which made his judgment difficult.

But these difficulties don't frighten Duran - "Since I don't know which group of ghost babies is in charge of guarding the hammer, then I'll follow them one by one!" ”

Duran's plan may seem time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to alarm the ghost baby, but in fact, because of the vampire scimitar, he can complete this task much less difficult than the others.

There was a slight sound of wind in the darkness, and a dark shadow swept out of it, turning back and forth through the building, following the route of a ghost baby squad in his memory.

Today's Duran has long since turned into a small bat, using the skill of the [Transformation Bat] on the vampire scimitar. Bats are creatures that are inherently highly concealed and fast, making them ideal for tracking this kind of work.

Although the ghost babies are not bad at perception, they are all evil spirits crawling on the ground, who would have thought that there would be a pair of eyes silently watching their every move in the air?

Under such advantageous conditions, Duran's tracking went very smoothly. None of the ghost babies noticed the anomaly, and Duran flew fast and stealthily, and the territory patrolled by a total of forty-seven ghost baby squads was completely defined by him. His talent for data flow allowed him to easily divide the entire building into forty-eight sections, each of which was crawling by a team of ghost babies in each area, with the exception of the foundry room, which Duran had identified as the first area, and their movements were as regular as machines, seemingly strictly controlled by Oberpheus.

Three hundred and sixty-seven ghost babies, forty-seven ghost infant patrol teams, Duran's eyes flashed countless data, which were quickly summarized and processed with the help of the contract assistance system, and finally came up with useful information.

The explosion sound of the "Hoohoo ......" bat flying at high speed was too subtle for the ghost babies to detect, and Duran flew even more fearlessly after testing this conclusion. Based on the results of the data, Duran sorted the areas most likely to contain the hammer and then searched for the past one by one.

I have to say that if it weren't for the skill of transforming into a bat, Duran's attempt to find the hammer in such a large building would be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. But now, his search efficiency has been greatly improved, and in just ten minutes, Duran has determined that there is no hammer in the first eleven areas.

"It's a bit evil...... Duran's bat stayed in a dark corner for a moment, and he watched the eight ghost babies in the twelfth area crawl back and forth non-stop, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

This was the twelfth area he had searched, and the first eleven areas were all higher in terms of the likely surnames of the hammers buried, but Duran still found nothing after being busy. This situation made him feel that something was wrong, and he vaguely felt that even if he continued to search for one area after another, he might not be able to gain anything until the last area.

As soon as this thought came to him, it spread somewhat irrepressibly in Duran's mind.

"Maybe I'm trusting the old blacksmith too much?" A gleam flashed in Duran's eyes, and he immediately realized that his previous actions were inappropriate. Perhaps it was the fact that Amus was recognized as an innocent creature by the Supreme Council that put Duran in a state of mind, or perhaps it was the old blacksmith's sincere tone and repentance that made Duran a little soft-hearted, except for the necessary vigilance at first, Duran was convinced of everything Biyombo said - especially after accepting the other party's so-called payment.

Thinking of this, Duran was suddenly shocked, and Biyombo's words suddenly sounded in his mind-

"In fact, I was a qualified wizard in addition to being a good blacksmith......"

In an instant, he immediately remembered the strange visions that had flooded his mind inexplicably when he had just entered that house!

Calm down, Duran immediately began to recall the situation, no wonder he thought that he had no doubt about what Biyombo had said after accepting his gift - in fact, this was not the beginning of the matter, as the old blacksmith himself had been attacked by a psychic spell when he mentioned the topic of the Seraph.

"He deliberately brought up the topic of the Seraph, so that I was taken aback, and then took the opportunity to use spells like mental suggestion to make me believe every word of him!" Thinking of this, Duran suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, because he suddenly reacted that Biyombo had told him that the magic sword's best attack method was the mind spell.

I see......

It turns out that the old blacksmith and Obermouth are actually in a group, just like the ghost babies, and the old blacksmith is probably also under the control of the magic sword!

It wasn't so much that the old blacksmith used a mind spell on Duran, but that Obermouth used a mind spell on Duran through the old blacksmith's hand.

Duran, who had figured it all out, let out a sigh: "What are they doing this for?" ”

"Using a spell that hints at my surname to let me go, although the reason for taking away Amus seems to be justified, but they didn't choose to attack me directly with a psychic spell, does it mean that Opanepheus, who has not yet fully evolved, is afraid?"

Now that I think about it, the old man has told Duran more than once how powerful and invincible Obermouth was. The intention is probably not to care about Duran's safety, but to use this means to scare Duran away - but unfortunately they don't know that Duran has the Supreme Council standing behind him, and he himself has no choice but to fight the magic sword head-on, and simple intimidation is useless.

"That's why that trumped-up hammer appeared to try to delay my actions?" Duran smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't expect that he would secretly suffer a loss with such a high will, and it seemed that he would have the opportunity to train his resistance to psychic spells in the future.

"Amus clearly said that Oppenpheus only has the power of gold, but in order to scare me, the old guy actually pulled out the power of that magic sword to the point that it can be compared to an artifact! Damn, I foolishly believe it! The more Duran thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he grabbed a handful of hair.

It is so embarrassing to say that the enemy is afraid of him, and he is still looking for a way to defeat the enemy in a roundabout way. (To be continued.) )
