Early in the morning, Saul had breakfast with his parents and continued to return to his room to study.

Before leaving the Void Ancient City that night, Thor also received a set of free information highlights in the hall of the association, a total of seven copies.

For example, "Detailed Explanation of Organisms and Their Characteristics in Haizhou Waters", "Thousands of Magical Herbs and Their Cultivation Methods", introducing some magical species and some characteristics of medicinal herbs;

"The Creation of Art - Dolls", the magic makes the favorite experimental assistant, the introduction of magic dolls;

"A Brief History of Magic", which roughly records the major events of more than 1,000 years since the birth of magic;

"Is the Nineteen Series of Tricks Still Applicable Today?", "Overview of Contemporary Characteristic Magic", the former discusses the classification of magic systems, and the latter introduces some characteristic magic tricks;

It is said that the original inspiration for the creation of magic came from street performances, so there are 19 types of tricks.

For example, shapeshifting, telekinesis, floating, mind reading, invulnerability, etc.

Today's magic system absorbs the nutrients of other traditions, and after thousands of years of evolution, many magicians think that the division of trick nineteen is no longer applicable and cumbersome.

There is a magic envoy who proposes the five essence system, that is, earth, fire, feng shui, and void.

There are also magicians who propose seven divisions, such as puppets, summoning, alienation, etc.

So far, there is no clear common classification, and the magicians are still discussing it.

Finally, there is the Carrier of Mantras—A Dictionary of Hebrew Mantras, a reference book for learning Hebrew mantras.

This set of highlights, without the mysteries of esoteric magic, is some of the basic materials collected by the Magic Society, and is regularly distributed to ordinary magicians.

As for the real magic codex, it definitely needs to be exchanged for it.

Although these materials can be imported directly into the crystal nucleus, they can be automatically retrieved when needed.

But I haven't studied and browsed it personally, and it doesn't help me in any way for future growth and understanding.

Just like Saul in his previous life, knowledge can be searched, but he is still illiterate without ten years of hard study.

Immersed in learning, time always flies, and when you look up, it gets dark again.

For so many days, parents have become accustomed to, or have been mentally prepared.

Because they knew that their son was not an ordinary person, they never bothered.

In order for his parents to recuperate, the Hayworms family still lives in a rest home.

Saul went downstairs, and the maid, Melissa, as usual, immediately prepared food for him.

Melissa, who lost her husband, worked hard to be strong for the sake of her children.

It's just that the fat and bloated figure has disappeared, and only a little plump remains, and there is a lot of silence.

Originally, the Hayworms told her to rest well and offered her a regular job, but the maid refused.

In the end, she couldn't, so she could only take all of Melissa's children over so that she could take care of them, and planned to find another helper to share them for her.

Thor ate slowly, flipping through the recent newspapers.

Excluding the lace news of the aristocracy, it is the news of unrest everywhere, and the condemnation statement of the Holy Spirit Church.

However, Thor, who knew about the conspiracy behind it, was only watching the play and silently waiting for the final ending.

Just then, a soldier burst in.

"Dried corpses were found in the city, suspected to be ghouls?"

Thor put down the food, thought about it for a while, and decided to check it out.

After all, this incident is unusual everywhere, and the victim is still an acquaintance.

He was now suspicious that there were no ghouls, but man-made!

......

A small alley on the edge of the city, full of garbage, sewage flowing, and the environment is very poor.

Uniformed patrolmen had blocked the alley, and Floss, covering his nose, wandered back and forth at the entrance, anxiously waiting.

As soon as Thor arrived, Floss, twisting his thick waist and making funny movements, greeted him, and led the way into the alley while introducing the situation.

The patrol officers looked at Thor curiously, full of thoughts:

What is the origin of this young man, so that he let the chief of justice greet him personally?

Thor crouched down and lifted the shroud.

The two corpses on the ground, with dry skin like old tree bark, their flesh and blood were dented, and their skin and bones were covered in bones.

One of the dried corpses is Sheriff Carter!

The wrinkled, old-looking sheriff had investigated Thor, and later saved him during the Magic Workshop incident.

It's a pity that he still died, in this sewage-strewn alley.

"We speculate that Sheriff Carter should have discovered the murderer and tried to come forward to save people, and then he was also killed. ”

Floss whispered to the side, glancing over the wine bottle on the ground, and sighed:

"Carter is an experienced old sheriff, but unfortunately because of some things before, he is completely decadent, drinking all day long, and his body collapses, so he can... , alas..."

Thor didn't speak, turning over the corpse.

The corpse of the young man of the Greek descent, with two finger-thick bloody holes in his neck, had been drained of blood and died;

Not only did Sheriff Carter have the same bloody hole in his neck, but there were also many bite marks, and it was a mess, apparently after a struggle.

"These bite marks are messy!"

Flosse was sorry that he didn't hear Thor's sudden opening clearly, and asked, "What?"

Thor stood up and looked left and right for signs in the alley.

Although he is not a detective, he can still make some rough judgments after the baptism of film and television dramas in his previous life.

"It seems that my speculation is correct, the murderer is not a ghoul, it is man-made!"

"However, why did you easily attack the powerful knight family, but you took such a hard time on this drunkard?"

Flod was even more confused by Saul's whispering to himself, and kept asking.

In the middle of the sound, Saul stopped and walked back and forth, looked at Froude, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go, let's go meet the murderer!"

"What?"

Floss exclaimed, then touched his bald head, and then asked, "Don't wait until daytime, the sun comes out?"

Saul's eyes flashed, and he said, "No, the opportunity is rare, he seems to be in a bad state now!"

Trusting Thor, Floss gathered three musketeers and ten more patrolmen to follow behind.

Thor walked alone in front, constantly wandering the streets and alleys, occasionally jumping onto the roof to fumble for a while.

In this way, the group walked and stopped, turned a dozen streets, and spent two hours, from the beginning of night to the middle of the moon.

The patrolmen were a little impatient, but both the sheriff Froude and the musketeers all watched Thor's movements in awe with solemn expressions.

Gradually, a blockade appeared in front of them, and everyone suddenly realized that they had left the city and arrived on the outskirts.

Thor stopped suddenly.

At night, a road more than two meters wide leads through large vineyards to a gorgeous estate.

"In this direction, Vaughn Vineyards?"

Thor felt the name familiar, but couldn't remember it for a moment.

Froud stepped forward, glanced at Saul, and sighed:

"On the morning of your return, there was a fierce battle in the harbor between the Holy Spirit Cult, the Shaman, and the Sea Monster Witch. ”

The Vaughns were unfortunately present at the time, and the couple died tragically in the car, leaving only their only son alive. ”

"By the way, that kid, as you probably know, is also a student at St. Jewel High School, named Mark Vaughn. ”

Hearing this name, Thor's face suddenly changed.
