.............................................................................................

Noble Quarter, inside the study of Viscount Crane.

Viscount Crane was tied to a chair, his neat black hair scattered, and his dark green eyes stared at the man in front of him wearing a funny clown mask.

The clown, who knows the "Sage" very well with the magician, with his fifth-level strength, was able to easily restrain Viscount Klein under the surprise attack.

"You're the clown the princess said she was, aren't you? You're crazy enough to attack me!" said Viscount Crane, the archon of Aalto City Hall, angrily and a little frightened.

The clown looked up to the sky and smiled: "Lord Viscount, don't you tell me that the magic you used just now was activated by an object, what is wrong with me arresting an evil magician according to the provisions of the Codex, or do you want me to call you Mr. 'Sage'?"

Viscount Klein's disguised anger collapsed, and he said in shock: "Why are you ......?"

Halfway through, he hurriedly stopped, as if he was worried that the clown was trying to trick him.

"Lord Viscount, we have known about your situation for a long time, but we have not arrested you. This is mainly to see if you will repent, after all, you are a nobleman of high status, and it is a pity that you do not. However, you have one last chance, as long as you tell me the Professor's whereabouts, you can continue to be a nobleman and an archon, and only need to join the ranks of the Night's Watch secretly. The clown looked out the window, fearing that the "real" night watchmen would arrive at any moment.

Viscount Klein was stunned, and then sneered: "It turned out to be to capture the professor. It's dangerous to socialize with characters in this purification sequence, but I don't believe you, you've been removed from the Night's Watch and you're a dangerous fugitive, so I'd better wait until the real Night's Watch comes. ”

He behaved like a clown predicted, without the limits and persistence of secrecy, like most nobles were arrogant but tactful, and if the interests were sufficient, he could even cooperate with the devil!

And his ridicule now is obviously to fight for better conditions!

The Joker's exaggerated smile leaned in front of Viscount Crane. Snorted: "Good idea." But you met me, and I was very anxious, afraid that the delay would arouse the professor's alarm, so I wronged you. Lord Viscount Crane. ”

Just as Klein's face changed drastically. The clown's ten fingers began to flick. Let Crane's muscles twitch with him, and his eyes, mouth, etc., open and close under the Joker's command.

Gradually, the eyes of "Sage" Klein began to cloud. It seems that not only the body is being manipulated, but even the brain and soul are being controlled.

Compared to other knightly night watchmen, the Joker is able to ask for true information even without the use of magic.

"What's your code name?Is it an official magician??" The clown adjusted the effect with a simple question.

Crane's eyes returned from cloudiness to clarity, and he looked the same as before, but he smiled uncharacteristically: "Back to Lord Clown, I am an official magician, codenamed Sage, and I am good at the astral system. Because he couldn't activate the amount of blood power, and there was no potion formula, and his status at that time could not be given by the Grand Duke, he found out some books that his ancestors secretly collected after killing the magician and began to study, trying to restore the formula of the potion that stimulated the amount of blood power, but he found that he had the specialty of the star system, so he fell deeper and deeper. ”

After confirming the effect, the Joker didn't ask Klein much of his own questions, and said bluntly, "How did you meet the professor this time, and how can you contact him?"

"Back to Mr. Clown, I was approached by the professor after I came back from the concert night. He used the four-ring magic 'Mirror Vision' to talk to me at a distance, asking to attend the latest gathering of the Wizarding Circles in order to tell them the news of the Magical Council headquarters. Klein replied without concealment, "After I agreed, we met once in private, in an uninhabited garden villa at No. 116 in Jisu District, and the contact mark was...... But I don't know where he's really hiding, and the meeting is where he predetermined. ”

"Sure enough, a cautious, sinister and cunning professor, if he wants to use contact marks to design traps, it is easy for a guy like him to use conspiracy to see through. The clown muttered at first, not thinking that his IQ was comparable to that of the professor.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "No. 116 in the Gisu District, isn't it where Lucien Evans used to live? It is in a remote environment, and it has not been rented out yet, only an old servant is watching, it is very suitable for hiding! With the secret relationship between the professor and Lucian, he is likely to be hiding there!"

The clown felt his blood boiling, and trembled with excitement, because he had probably discovered the professor's hiding place, and if he hadn't thoroughly investigated Lucien Evans, he hadn't missed a single detail, and no one would have thought of it.

But he was frightened by the professor, and forced himself to calm down, analyzing whether there were traps and conspiracies: "Lucien Evans is recuperating in the villa of the noble quarter, Natasha is said to be dealing with the affairs of the principality today, and has not left the Lataxia Palace, if they suddenly appear at No. 116 in the Gisu district, anyone with eyes can see that it is a conspiracy against me and the night watchman, after all, I did not sneak into Lucien Evans's house, and they have no reason to appear there in the middle of the night." ”

"It's impossible to design me and other strong people, this is in Aalto City, not the Melzer Black Forest, as long as there is a fight at my level, it will soon alarm the high-level powerhouses, and then Juliana and they will also come with the night watch team and the head of the inquisition. ”

......

The best way for the clown to know the way is to wait for Juliana and them to do it, but the fire in his heart is burning, the grief and indignation of being wronged and asked to be executed, and the anger of watching his companion die, all make him want to catch the professor with his own hands, and he also has a certain confidence in his own strength, after all, he has been in contact with the professor and has first-hand information, not a person who judges his strength by purifying the sequence.

After careful analysis, he saw that Juliana and the others had not yet arrived, and he was worried that his actions against Klein would arouse the professor's alarm. The clown quickly made up his mind: "I'll go there first and scout carefully, step by step." "See if there is a hidden, ambush magic array, if you can find the professor, then entangle him, cause the Aalto magic array to sense, let the high-level powerhouses pay attention, if you can't find it, or the villa is too weird, hide and hand it over to the night watchman.

After using his puppet ability to seal Viscount Crane's spiritual power. The clown picked up a pen and paper on his desk again and wrote down the news he had found. This was to avoid the delay caused by the night watchman who came after him to ask Crane, and when the time came, it was just necessary to confirm what he had written.

After doing all this, the clown left the aristocratic district and rushed to No. 116 in the Jisu district.

The entire garden villa is shrouded in dark shadows. Like a lurking monster. It makes people palpitate.

The clown carefully and carefully inspected the surroundings of the garden villa. Finding that there was no trace of the magic array's arrangement, he gradually grew bolder, dragged out the afterimage and sneaked in. But along the way, he didn't forget to check his surroundings, preferring to slow down rather than step into the professor's trap.

The villa was empty, and after knocking the old servant who was guarding it to sleep, the clown hid in the darkness while carefully examining house by house, trying to find clues.

Soon, the basement and the first floor were inspected, and the clown went up to the second floor more cautiously.

............

Viscount Klein's home.

Valdo, the "Substitute" of the Vaorit Inquisition, led a small team of night watchmen to the second floor silently, trying to find and control Viscount Crane.

They did not come to the door to arrest them openly, for fear of attracting the attention of the nobles in the surrounding villas, so as to leak the news and let the professor escape.

As soon as he stepped on the second floor, Waldo's nose, whose brown beard was about to cover his entire face, suddenly twitched slightly, and then he said in a solemn tone: "I smell blood and feel the breath of death. ”

"What?, Lord Valdo, did something wrong with Viscount Crane, or did he kill the Knowers and abscond?" Juliana worries that the Joker has not been able to control the madness factor in her dark bloodline.

Waldo was tall, and he walked to the door of the study in two or three steps, and said solemnly: "There is only one dead man, and it is the blood smell of the millstone family." ”

The Millstone family is the family to which Viscount Klein belongs.

As he spoke, he pushed the door open, and a strong smell of blood came to his face.

Juliana and the others looked into the room vigilantly, and immediately frowned, even the night watchman, who was accustomed to killing and dying, had a subconscious resistance to the slaughterhouse-like scene of dismemberment.

In the whole room, flesh and blood were flying, small pieces of meat crumbs and drops of blood were everywhere, and a single intact bone and flesh could not be found, giving people a bloody and cruel and demonic and disgusting feeling.

"This kind of murder scene is very familiar......" I don't know which night watchman said.

Most of the Night's Watch immediately remembered that the guys who were torn apart by the Joker's puppet thread were basically like this.

"No way, Captain, there's no way he's going to kill Viscount Crane. Juliana muttered to herself with a pale face.

Ignoring the squalor and gore in the room, Waldo stepped over to the desk, picked up the paper that had been pressed by the inkwell, looked at it carefully, and then grew louder and said in a solemn tone, "It was left by the clown." He confirms that Viscount Crane is the Sage, and guesses that the Professor is hiding at 116 Gisu District. It's his handwriting and the Night's Watchman's internal code, and no one can imitate it. ”

Even Juliana, who believed in the clown the most, couldn't help but gasp, and began to believe that it was the clown who put the evil magician to death after asking the professor about his whereabouts.

If the identity of the sage was not Viscount Crane, it was not a strange and serious thing for the night watchman.

"Viscount Klein is a matter of magicians, and there is definite evidence within the Inquisition, and he should have resisted arrest and was killed. Let's hurry up and get to No. 116 in Jisu District, where the professor may have some conspiracy. Valdo, one of the three heads of the Inquisition, was more sympathetic to the clown, and gently suppressed the matter.

"Yes, Lord Valdo!" the rest of the Night's Watch said in unison. An evil magician kills and kills!

............

The clown carefully examines the traces in the room on the second floor while guarding against traps and the appearance of the professor, but it is true that no one has come for a long time and has neglected to clean it.

One by one, when the clown was about to be disappointed, he suddenly felt that there was someone in the study in front of him!

The Grand Knight's consciousness made him clearly aware of a man leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, as if enjoying the cool night breeze.

"Professor?!" the Joker was taken aback, he couldn't have imagined that it would be so easy and so easy to discover the Professor!

And he didn't even find out before?

Although there were many doubts, when facing the evil and powerful mid-level magician, the clown did not dare to be careless, and directly popped out of the puppet line, and at the same time dodged to the side, speeding up to avoid being locked.

As the strength of the fifth-level knight was fully opened, the door of the room shattered, and the clown who turned into an afterimage was stunned to see that the man by the window was actually Lucien Evans!

He stood with his whole body bound and twisted, a stiff and strange smile on his handsome face, and then, under the influence of inexplicable force, he fell directly to the side and backwards, and fell downstairs like a swan shot by a bow and arrow.

The black gown, which was crumpled by ropes, the stiff and eerie smile, and the scene that seemed to freeze backwards, made up a bewitching oil painting that was forever imprinted in the clown's mind.

The professor would kill Lucien Evans in order to frame himself?

This is a situation that the clown could never have guessed.

In midair, Lucien Evans bloomed like a flower, blood and flesh splattering everywhere. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
