"Okay......" Icetail looked frustrated and hung his head, "I didn't expect you to trust me so much." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"......" Loelle suddenly felt that the ice tail seemed to be quite pitiful, and he also felt uneasy in his heart: Am my words too serious?

The crystal scorpion turned away, and its whole body seemed to hang listlessly.

"That...... Ice tail?" Loelle was a little reluctant to go, so he helplessly beckoned to the scorpion and said, "I-"

"You've agreed to let me stay?" Icetail immediately turned around with joy, excited.

“...... No. Loelle immediately felt that he had been deceived emotionally, and he resolutely refused.

"Hey, hey?" The crystal scorpion didn't know what he was expecting before, but now he looked disappointed: "Why are you rejecting me like this......"

"If you stay in my room, won't it be the same as me letting a man sleep here?", Loelle made up his mind and refused with determination: "How can I accept it." ”

"Woo......" Bingwei completely died, and lay on the bed as if he was wilted: "Okay, since you said so, let's just make a contract." ”

"Why?" said Loelle, confused.

"So that I can protect you, since I'm not in your room, I need you to call me out if I'm in danger. For example, if I'm going to sleep in the library in a while, you can summon me to the library when you want to find me here. Bingwei briefly explained: "This magic should be easy, after all, you are an elf, and you can do it without much talent for magic control." ”

"I'll use this magic. Loelle was a little surprised: "You really want to protect me." ”

"Isn't that nonsense—wait, didn't you think that before?" Icetail seemed to be greatly defeated, and he wanted to cry without tears, "You don't want this, Loelle!

"Excuse me...... I can't tell if you're serious or not. Apologies, Loelle was moved, but also felt a little embarrassed: "I see that you are quite improper, I didn't expect it to be like this......"

Without further ado, the two quickly formed a contract. And Amy soon arrived with a magic mech: he took a door lock, and quickly replaced the original one and installed the latest one.

Then, he magically attached the door panel to the door, tried it to see if it worked, and then turned away.

“...... Did you notice something was wrong in the house?" Amy asked Loelle in a whisper as she opened the door.

"No. When the elf heard her ask, he was naturally a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"I'm just wondering why this room is locked. Amy picked up the lock with her tentacles, stared at it with her eyes, and reached out to play with it, "This lock...... It's not bad. But I switched to one just to be on the safe side. ”

"Could it be that someone in this house once came in and looked for something, but didn't get anything, so he left?" Thinking of this, Bingwei hurriedly proposed: "The reason why the door is locked is to prevent someone from suddenly entering to witness his crime." ”

"But in that case, how did he escape?" The Academy's bedrooms are not allowed to teleport to the outside world. Amy summoned a magic eye and detected the magic mark reaction through the perspective of the magic eye, and her face was full of doubt: "There are only magic marks of contract magic in this room...... Or was it released by Loaire. ”

The caster can be seen by the scar, which is like a fingerprint...... However, it is only for a period of time after casting.

People can't hide their scars, but they can make them disappear quickly. The more brilliant the mage, the better he is at it. After a while, only remnants of mana that cannot discern the caster remain.

"It can only be from the window...... Jump from here, then release the Slow Fall Technique halfway through. Bingwei looked at the window and gave his own advice: "You won't be able to fall to death like this." ”

"......" Amy released a magic eye and controlled it to fly out of the window. She used it to survey the abrasion marks, and soon came to the conclusion that "the marks are gone." The slow-fall technique is a magic that can quickly disappear the traces. There are remnants of mana, and it is impossible to see what spells were used. ”

Why do some criminals don't use magic when they commit crimes? It's because I'm afraid that someone will soon enter here and find a magic mark.

If he is nearby at this time, it will be difficult to compare the magic marks after being caught.

There's no way to sample the mark, so it's safe to escape for a while.

It's just that many mystery fiction authors always deliberately emphasize the importance of magic marks, amplify its usefulness, and forcibly limit the possibility of using magic to commit crimes.

Presumably, this is just to create a relatively level playing field for detectives to reason with physical means. This does make the case more beautiful, more dramatic, and more interesting, and understandably more interesting.

It's just that it's much harder to be a detective in reality. Of course, it's also true that most people don't dare to risk abusing magic.

"I can only be sure that someone used magic in the middle of the jump, so I can't be sure that it was a slow fall. Maybe it's teleportation. Amy looked downstairs, which was already extremely dim, and thought it would be safer to go and see: "I'm going down to have a look." ”

"Jump?" Loelle remembered Aya's ability to resist falling, and estimated the distance: it was only about twenty meters above the ground, and he couldn't die if he fell.

"Hmm. Amy didn't talk much nonsense, and jumped straight out of the window and landed on the ground. Then it was a busy survey time.

Aya's jumping ability is generally about two meters at will, and when she gets serious, it is very common to jump a few more meters. Not to mention some of Aya, who can be strengthened with blood.

It seemed that because there was no result, Amy quickly flew back from downstairs. As Loelle thought, she shook her head.

"There was nothing suspicious, and if there was snow on the ground, I might have been able to get some clues, but not now. Amy said softly.

Inside the Cold Snow Castle.

"Still haven't found the thief?" said the knight to the guard, a little impatient, "Speaking of which, what has been stolen?

"The man had only stolen a very ordinary-looking notebook. The soldier affirmed, "Captain Eders and I have seen it...... It's hard to identify something like this if he throws it somewhere. ”

"What kind of person is it, do you wear a black hooded cloak?" asked the knight, frowning.

"This ......" The two guards exchanged their heads for a moment before agreeing: "No." ”
