Chapter 47: A Simple Investigation

As Victor walked out of the burning shop and returned to the site where he had been attacked, a grim picture appeared in his field of vision.

On the left side of Victor, on the right side of the street, a crater five meters in diameter and about half a man deep is very conspicuously imprinted there, and the marks of the violent explosion are all around it; From the crater to the burning shop, the short stretch of road is filled with fist-sized holes left by magic missiles.

"Victor, it's nice to see you in perfect condition......"

When Rosa saw Victor, he made a joke: "You know what? All this makes me almost doubt that you will survive......"

"It's just a fluke!"

Victor recalled the scene of the young mage before he died, and remembered the charred corpse of the middle-aged man who had been burned horribly by the "hellfire", and a wave of disgust immediately came to him.

"Vomit ......"

Victor, who was forced to vomit, closed his mouth tightly, and his face looked unusually pale.

"Try to adapt to the situation."

Rosa patted Victor on the shoulder, "Just get used to it!" Do you know? After I killed the enemy for the first time, I had nightmares for a whole week......"

Victor nodded, still keeping his mouth shut and not speaking.

"Hey! Victor, are you alright? ”

Dean, who hadn't seen him for a long time, suddenly walked out of the team of mages dealing with the scene, "This is the first big scene I've ever seen...... Gee! ”

Wearing the badge of the Three-Ring Mage on his chest, Dean danced as he described what he had seen and heard.

Seeing Victor staring at his mage badge, Dean triumphantly showed off, "Didn't expect that? I actually have the blood of a warlock...... With the help of my teacher, I was promoted to the Three Rings Mage after a good night's sleep! ”

Suddenly, Dean, who was in high spirits, sniffed hard and sniffed around, "Huh? It smells so good! Victor, do you smell it? ”

After Dean's prompting, Victor also sensed a burst of tempting meat aromas......

"Wow!"

Thinking of the source of this taste, Victor couldn't help but feel nauseous, clutching his chest and throwing up.

"You...... What's wrong with you? Why is the reaction so big? ”

Dean touched the back of his head and cast a puzzled look at his mentor.

"Look, that's where the scent comes from......"

Pointing to the burnt half of the thigh on the edge of the pit, Rosa asked angrily, "Do you need to taste it in one bite?" ”

"Wow!"

Victor had another unlucky guy next to him, and he threw up with him.

"Your Excellency Rosa, after preliminary investigation we can determine that this was a premeditated assassination against Mr. Victor......"

A six-ring mage from the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported to Rosa, "There were only two corpses left at the scene, but due to the severity of the damage, we can't determine their identity!" However, we can ask the high-ranking mages of the Prophecy Department to come and help......"

"Yes! Identify the attackers as soon as possible......"

Rosa waved his hand, motioning for him to hurry up and deal with the matter.

"Victor, to be on the safe side...... From now on, you'd better cut back or stop all outings! ”

Rosa frowned and said: "Due to the recent disputes, there have been some unnecessary loopholes in Greenland's external defense system, and even the internal defense system of 'Skethiti'...... That's not a good thing for you! ”

Victor, pale, covered his mouth and nodded vigorously.

"Lord Rosa, could you come and have a look?"

After hearing the voice, Rosa led Victor and Dean to the ruins of the shop, which had almost burned to the ground.

"You see, the flames on this corpse are very special...... It cannot be extinguished by conventional means! We think it's a new type of spell that is very lethal......"

Following the direction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs mage's finger, Victor saw that the body of the middle-aged man disguised as the shopkeeper was still burning.

"Frozen rays."

The fingers of Rosa's right hand emitted a faint blue spell glow, striking the charred corpse.

The cold ice that was visible to the naked eye covered it, but the flames that should have been extinguished were still burning tenaciously in the ice.

"Huh?"

Rosa glanced at Victor quietly and said, "Good! I'll take care of it here...... You guys go around and check it out. ”

"Yes! Lord Rosa. ”

After checking the surroundings again, Rosa confirmed that no one was paying attention, and cast a spell to completely annihilate the corpse, along with the flames burning on it.

"Dean, take what you just saw...... Forget it all! ”

"Huh? What did I just see? Haha, I just saw the esteemed Mr. Victor throwing up ...... wah."

Dean rolled his eyes and put the matter behind him.

"You kid!" Rosa shook her head helplessly.

After sixty minutes of magic, and thanks to the efforts of the mages of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the "battlefield" was completely restored to its original state, and everything was back to normal.

"Lift the lockdown! Wrap up! ”

After Rosa gave the order, he turned to Victor and said, "Victor, come with me...... Go and meet my father, he has something to say to you. ”

"Yes, Lord Rosa."

Victor said in a hoarse voice, "There are some things I want to talk to Master Grant about as well. ”

On the way to the Tower of Babel, Dean babbled on and on.

"Victor, how did you come up with the idea of combining algebra and geometry?"

"Victor, did you know that you have become an idol for the mage's apprentice?"

"Victor, do you have any new research results recently?"

"Victor, when did you get promoted to Second Ring Mage?"

"Victor ......"

"Shut up!"

After Rosa couldn't bear it anymore, he gave Dean a heavy blow to the head, and the chattering guy finally quieted down with an aggrieved face.

"Whew!"

With a long breath, Victor let go of his clenched fist and gave Dean a fierce look.

"Victor ......"

Rosa, who was walking in front, said in a deep voice: "I will personally submit the results of this investigation, that kind of flame that cannot be extinguished...... You can rest assured. ”

"Also, my father wasn't in a good mood...... If possible, you can forgive him. ”

"I see."

Dean touched the back of his head again, his puzzled gaze wandering back and forth between Victor and Rosa, "What are they talking about?" Why can't I understand it at all......"

"I don't want to! What's there to eat tonight? ”

As soon as the thought turned, Dean felt his saliva coming out again.
