The houses in Esselit are halfway up the hill in the city of Eyre, which is very densely populated with houses. Even though he was the captain of a cruiser, his house in the city was not too big. It was a three-story house with a small courtyard.

After Ethelit and Bruders left, Xiao Chen and his party of more than 20 people waited in this house.

The interior decoration style of the houses in the Western Continent is biased towards metal and wood, which is very different from the style of the Eastern Continent, which is dominated by stone and wood. A lot of furniture is either made of steel and has a wooden top or a wooden frame and is decorated with metal.

Xiao Chen guessed that perhaps this continent was rich in trees and minerals. Industrial development has improved smelting technology, which is why this style has been formed.

Xiao Chen picked up a local newspaper from the coffee table in the living room, this newspaper named El Zhichen was very similar to the early newspapers of the other world, full of all kinds of gossip, advertisements and lace news, squeezing the few serious news items into the top half of the first page.

Mayor Agurod visited the newly completed Anita Steel Mill, which will employ 20 experienced workers and 50 apprentices. ”

"Six people were killed in a fire in the north of the city the night before, and it is believed that the attack was carried out by a rebel wizard to rob the prison. The enforcement brigade of the adjudication organ has come to the city, so please do not panic, try not to go out, and if you find the whereabouts of strangers, please report to the city hall in time. ”

"The day after tomorrow, in the square in front of the town hall, the witch Beda will be hanged for killing and wounding five civilians with demonic power. ”

Two of the main pieces of news were about witches, and it seems that people who use "devil powers" are not as uncommon as Captain Balivian claims.

The witch was to be hanged publicly, presumably of the heinous type, and her accomplices were in trouble in the city trying to get her out.

Xiao Chen was quite interested in these wizards, according to his guess, these people were actually some wild mages, and it was a very interesting topic for what kind of state of naturally generated wild mages in a world where magic was forbidden. In particular, most of the people on this continent are naturally magically resistant, and I wonder how these wild mages will exert their powers.

When Xiao Chen found Huang Zheng, he was on the terrace of the house, observing the warships in the harbor. In addition to the Red Cloud, there were two other heavy cruisers moored in the harbor of Eyre, as well as four or five smaller warships that could be called destroyers.

"Are you still watching those ships?" Xiao Chen asked.

Huang Zheng's hand rested on the railing, looked at the sea in the distance and said: "Yes, since I discovered that the Western Continent is a whole country, I have been wondering why they are working so hard to develop armaments, if it is to fight piracy and maintain stability, the armor and firepower of these warships are too strong." ”

"Maybe their imaginary enemy is our 'devils' in the Eastern Continent?" Xiao Chen asked.

"I have such a guess, but such a battleship, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it was designed for defense. ”

Xiao Chen said: "Maybe the high-level leaders of this country are preparing for an expedition to the Eastern Continent?"

"This ......"

"I'm just guessing. Xiao Chen smiled.

He handed the newspaper to Huang Zheng and said, "Look at these news about male witches and witches. ”

Huang Zheng swept through the news at a glance, looked up and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Wizards and witches are actually a very important side of the continent, and I would love to see what these people are like before I talk to the rulers. Now give your Marines a mission. Search the city secretly, and if you can find these wizards who have come to rob the prison, send them to me, and I will ask them some questions.

I have sensed some unclear fluctuations in mental power from afar, and you may be rewarded if you look in those directions. ”

Huang Zheng immediately took the order and left, in this city without magic, it was too convenient for people with magical power to do something secretly.

He sent two teams, each consisting of a high-level warrior and a high-level mage, who disappeared and infiltrated the city in the direction Xiao Chen pointed out.

For these magicians who can detect spirits, as long as the wizards take action, their mental power fluctuations are as obvious as the lights in the night.

Less than half an hour later, a reconnaissance team consisting of Crete and Caterina dragged an unconscious man back.

It was a young man, dressed as a port carrier. He didn't have any wounds on his body, and it looked like he had been attacked by magic.

"We found this guy near the port when he was using some superficial tricks to trick a couple of dock workers into sneaking into a warehouse to steal something," Caterina said. After we put him down, we stopped by the warehouse to take a look, which was a warehouse for military supplies, and there were a lot of explosives. I think he's going to steal the explosives and use them to blow up the cell. ”

"I'll talk to him. Xiao Chen took Luo Ling and the others to a lounge and sealed the room with magic. First searched the wizard's body, then woke him up.

When the young man awoke suddenly, he found himself in a very strange room, sitting on a chair with several men and women standing across from him.

He thought that he had been caught by the referee, and immediately wanted to run away, but he pushed his hands forward without any order, and a spark popped out between his hands, rolling towards Xiao Chen and Luo Ling in the shape of a fan. But before this magic could be sprayed in front of Xiao Chen, it disappeared without a trace. The man who was turning to escape from the room was immediately kicked in the leg by Roger, who was guarding the side, and fell to the ground.

"Don't get excited, wizard. Xiao Chen looked down at him and said, "This is not a referee, and we are not executors. Brought you here just wanted to ask you some questions. ”

The young wizard obviously didn't expect the other party to say such a thing, and his face was full of distrust, "If you didn't want to arrest me, why did you secretly attack me and tie me up here?"

Xiao Chen didn't answer his question, but just said, "Tell me what is your name first?"

"Names? Those of us who are in hiding have long since abandoned our names. They call me Raven, and you can call me by that name. ”
