"Miss Lucina?" Just as she was about to try again, Deenor's slightly hoarse voice came from behind her, "Did you find anything?"

"I can only sense that the frost energy is extremely powerful, and the structure has been mutated. Besides......" Lucina turned around to ask for Denor's opinion, only to find that Lusa and the others had also come here with Denor.

"I think it would be better for us to help. So put down breakfast and came over. The knight looked at the frozen bachelor seriously and worriedly: "What the hell, the enemy actually sneaked here......"

"Speaking of which...... Could it be that you speak Eurasian?" Lucina realized, "You just talked to Anusen and them, right?"

"Well, because I've been in Adella Academy on the continent of Nafrea for a long time. Deerno smiled a little embarrassedly: "Since these two gentlemen don't speak Brna, let's talk in Eurasian next." I was also my interpreter when the two of them met with Lord Mace in the morning. ”

"I'm sorry for you. Lucina looked at him with a little respect: "Are you the only one who can speak Eurasian in Cold Snow Castle?"

"No, Butler Brea speaks fluently. Captain Eders is about the same...... In addition, there are Bard, ibuprofen. Deerno sighed: "Originally, the bachelor was also counted as one. ”

"Come in, be careful not to touch the black ice and the smoke it emits. Shaking his head helplessly, Deenor was the first to enter the room.

Anusen and Lusa followed Deerno to the door, while Mad Dog leaned against the door, squinting his eyes.

"Are you too embarrassed not to come in and help?" Looking at the mad dog that was pulling her hair, Lucina shouted dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing there, hurry up and come over to me!"

"What's the hurry? I don't know how to spell. The mad dog lazily stretched his waist and slowly walked into the house with a yawn: "You have been investigating here for a long time, and you haven't found anything useful?"

"Of course there is!" Lucina patted the black ice behind her angrily: "When I detect the remnants of mana, I can't analyze the cast time anyway. ”

"Cut, didn't you find out what you said a lot?" Seresa yawned again, turned and walked out of the door: "I went to bed too late and woke up too early, I was really sleepy...... I went to the cellar to get a jug of wine to refresh myself. ”

"What the hell, this guy?" Lucina stomped her foot indignantly, "It's just that I'm just trying to be lazy!"

"Leave him alone, that guy is very casual. The knight shook his head helplessly and leaned closer to the Bachelor. However, Deerno hurriedly stopped him: "You're too close, sir. ”

Hurriedly taking a step back, Anusen looked at the rising black smoke in bewilderment: "How does this thing corrupt people?

There is no detailed documentation of this. It is only known that there is absolutely no physical contact with its body and black smoke. Deerno looked blankly at the large piece of black ice: "Anyway, let's not get too close to each other except these two Ayas." ”

The younger sister approached Lucina, pulled her aside by the corner of her clothes, and whispered, "Sister, I just tried to summon Nalo, but I still couldn't succeed...... Not even a trace of connection to the demon was felt. ”

"It's strange......" Lucina looked at Aya's face hidden under the hood in confusion, "Anyway, the side effects of this quick spell can't be so big? ”

"I thought about it just now...... "Derno, who stopped in a daze, asked this side suspiciously: "Miss Lucina, just now you said that you couldn't analyze the casting time...... Is it because the caster is deliberately blocking the information?"

"Wow, you know that's a lot. Lucina looked at Deirno more and more: "That's right, just like you think." He cast a powerful shielding spell to avoid exposing the spell composition time. ”

"But, if that's the case......" Derno's expression began to daze again.

"Hey, don't talk about half of it, okay? Unable to wait for the rest of the day, Lucina was already anxious. Anusen, who was beside him, sighed even more heavily: "You don't seem to have any confidence in what you have to say. ”

"I really don't have any confidence, because I don't have any evidence to justify my conjectures. "Miss Lucina, I'd like to hear what you think." ”

"It's more comfortable for us to call by name. Aya shook her head helplessly, "I think since he concealed the cast time, he must have wanted to hide this: the spell didn't spawn this morning or last night. It is likely that the bachelor was frozen during the day yesterday, after all, no one had seen him in the house. ”

"I just thought about that. Deerno looked up suspiciously: "But...... The guard in charge of delivering the food said that when he went to deliver three meals, the bachelor spoke to him and asked him to take the food away. ”

"Huh?" Lucina paused, "You say so, it seems to be true...... In that case, the Master should not have died during the daylight yesterday. ”

"It's also possible that the mage used some method to hide in the Bachelor's room, pretending to be his voice to deal with the guards. Deerno hesitated for a moment before continuing to say what he wanted to say: "I'm thinking...... Is it possible that the Bachelor was killed this morning? And the reason why the mage left the shielding spell was to make us follow the habitual thinking and fall into the trap. ”

"Are you more detailed?" Lucina asked puzzledly, "Don't talk too much, how can we understand?"

That is, he wants us to subconsciously think that the bachelor died yesterday. This is used to achieve a certain purpose. Deerno coughed dryly, "I'm afraid we won't be able to detect the brilliance of this shielding spell for the time being. Even if you think backwards, it is easy to fall into the trap of double thinking that ordinary people cannot get rid of. ”

Habitual thinking, thinking traps, ordinary people, these three words made Lucina feel dizzy - she hadn't thought much about it, and the whole thing seemed to be complicated by Denor's words.

"Maybe you can talk to Seresa about it in a moment. Anusen sighed helplessly, "He has great insight and thinks differently from normal people. ”

"Agreed. I don't understand the world of madmen and dogs. Lucina immediately agreed.

"Lucina, Deleno said you saw the maester outside the kitchen on the first floor. Is it true?" Anusen's voice rang out again.

"yes, I'm pretty sure that's the Bachelor's face. Lucina hesitated for a moment, then added, "It stands to reason that it must have been the mage who killed the maester in disguise...... Through transfiguration and the like. ”

"Wouldn't that make it even more confusing about his purpose? Anusen was skeptical: "Why does he have to pretend to be a bachelor?"

"It's easy to escape. As soon as the words came out, Lucina felt that something was not right: "But it doesn't seem right, the guards don't seem to see the bachelor walk out of the room...... And does he really have to do it to escape?"

"Lucina, I've been thinking about it just now. Having just recovered from his daze, Deerno suddenly asked, "Captain Eders told me about the corpse in the passage...... The state of death of the Nadia Bachelor seems to resemble it. ”

"Ah, that's right. Lucina nodded, "It's exactly the same...... Definitely the same person. ”

"It's unclear why the mage killed the maester and pretended to be him, but we can think the other way around. Deerno coughed dryly and continued to ask in a hoarse voice, "Lucina, why do you think that soldier is frozen in the passage?"

"To drag us down the tunnel with a severed hand, of course. Lucina said without thinking.

"But on the surface, what did he gain by doing this?" Derenor's voice was hoarse, "In the end, there were only two endings: accidentally rescuing Uncle Morse, and saving the bachelor who was eaten by the altar." ”

"Well, what do you mean......" Lucina still couldn't figure it out.

"The severed hand that attacked you is just a cover-up. The real purpose is for you to save the Bachelor. ”
