Nie Ertu was simply shocked.

"Another robe mage, is this robe mage from the Law Management Department so worthless?"

"With Zaredin here, I already have enough grandchildren, and another robed mage, I'm here, this, it's better to go home and sleep." ”

"That's not right...... It's unusual for the Legal Department to attach so much importance to this case, could it be that they want to take advantage of this to have other plans?"

"No, I have to find a chance to report ......"

While he was thinking about it, the mage arrived.

What? Is it a green-collar mage? Nie Ertu was a little fixed in his heart, and immediately stared at the informed mage guard fiercely-You are faint, isn't this a mage still learning the title of a mage?

The legal guard didn't know if he saw it or not, anyway, he didn't react, and he didn't blame him for it, the legal guard, as the lowest level of the battle sequence of the legal management department, had no official mage status like the mage of the administrative sequence level. It stands to reason that if you are not a mage, you can't use the title between mages, but these Dharma attendants and Dharma guards are all Dharma students, and they are called masters for sleeves, and they are called masters for masters and above.

This kind of "side matter", a secular mage like Nie Ertu who eats the royal family's fortune naturally can't care about it, so he was taken aback.

The green-collar mage who came here has another identity - the head of the ceremonial house.

Among the four rooms and twelve offices of the Ministry of Legal Affairs, the four offices of ceremonies, laws, instruments, and classics belong to the professional department, and compared with the internal affairs department, the tax administration department, which has no professional knowledge threshold, and the directors of the professional department are basically experts in a certain field.

The one who came here was naturally an expert in the ritual system.

The ritual of making a house does not refer to the etiquette, but to the honor guard of the Dharma circle, the Shangli is a complex Dharma circle of profound and ancient esoteries, and the system refers to the formulation of standards. Therefore, the function of the vernacular of the Shangli system is to examine, formulate, and improve the standards for the establishment, use, and maintenance of high-level complex magic circles.

Listening to this function, you know that the layman has no play, and he can't just have a spell cultivation.

Most of the housing departments of the Ministry of Justice are not linked to their level and position and spell cultivation, like the spell cultivation of the Fa Er Mage, which is actually Purple Sleeve, and there are officials at the head level who are lower than him. The only ones that are tied to the rank are the three legal departments of the guard, the executive, and the prison, because they are responsible for combat, and the associated rank is also a unique combat sequence rather than an administrative sequence.

And what about the Four Codes Administration? Although they have no combat duties, they have some high-level ritual weapons, and you can't arrange them at all if they don't cultivate enough, so the officers of the Four Codes Administration can't be lowered in cultivation, but what we are talking about here is cultivation, not actual combat strength.

"Respect the law and be safe, and the deputy director of Saledin is above, and he has not entered Yan Du Pu to pay his respects. "Yan Du Pu Shechang still saluted as usual, and what he said was similar to Nie Ertu.

It's pretty much the same, and to those who can listen, it's much worse.

The difference is in the title of this deputy director, Saraedin's official position is indeed the deputy director of the Supervision and Judicial Administration, but in the absence of the boss of the Supervision and Legal Administration, like Nie Ertu, calling the lieutenant is a courtesy, calling the director respectful, and calling the deputy director is a clear line.

Whether it is the royal power or the legal system, the subtext of such a statement in this kind of cross-departmental cooperation is very clear - I am here to cooperate with you, yes, but I also have my own roots, and there are people behind me, if you go too far, I dare to pick on the son and leave.

Nie Ertu could hear this, and Saredin naturally understood it even more.

Saredin nodded slightly in return, but he didn't think so, "You nerds who only study antiquities, who will show you your loyalty as soon as you come? Don't you look at what your family has been marginalized many times, he wants to solve this case more than I do, if you dare to pick a child, I will think about how he cleans you up." ”

Thinking so, solving the case is still the first thing, and Saredin didn't say much, and walked directly to a scene with Yan Dupu.

Saraeddin brought in the head of the Upper Dharma Formation House for a simple purpose - to recreate the scene of the night through the magic circle.

According to the estimation of spell historians, the existing magic circle is only about half of its heyday, and one-third of this half can no longer be reproduced due to raw materials and other reasons, and the other third is a lack of complete ways to use it.

The circle that Saledin needed was called the Circle of Scene Reproduction, which could be traced back to an object at a specific time period and around the object. This circle is not particularly difficult to arrange. However, he has two major limitations, one is that he can only trace back to a limited time, and the other is that he can only trace man-made objects, which have no effect on natural objects such as plants, trees, and animals.

Yan Dupu walked around the scene, and after seeing the remains that had been burned to ashes, he said that the ashes had been completely burned and could not be traced through the magic circle. If you don't count the resources to push the circle, it can only reproduce a little bit of time before it is burned to ashes at most.

Zaredin raised his head and went to find Nie Ertu, at this time he needs Nie Ertu, no, he needs the support of the royal family - this is your royal family's business, you want the truth, right, I will build the magic circle for you, and you will have the resources.

The basic three elements of the circle are the platform, the eye, and the line. The platform refers to the bottom of the circle, and many circles have no hard requirements for this, and it is okay to spread it on the grassy slope, but a good platform can strengthen the stability of the circle. The eye refers to the position of the altar and related utensils, and the more complex the circle, the more eyes. As the name suggests, the line is to draw the line, the line is the soul of the whole circle, the circle without the line is a pile of littered debris, and the circle with the wrong line becomes a death trap at any time.

There are disposable consumables and reusable materials for the table eyeliner, so the cost of building the magic circle is not too high, but why is the magic circle only played by the legal management department, and the royal family will play it? Because compared to the resources required to drive the launch, these construction costs are simply negligible.

Most of the existing magic circles are powered by magic crystals—the kind of magic crystals of the magic crystal prism.

The magic crystal is one of the most important resources for mages, almost all magic circles and magic weapons are powered by the energy on the magic crystal, and the magic crystal can even be used to urgently restore the mage's own mana. Under normal circumstances, magic crystals can be regarded as durable goods, but when used to power high-level magic circle weapons, they consume faster than drinking water.

That's why Saradin wants the royal family to take on the crystals—these are your people.

Nie Ertu came out this time, and he also brought the magic crystal, so he didn't need to cut it all by himself, but Yan Dupu's sentence of ignoring resources was also scary enough, so he could only ask for instructions.

The communication between mages is much faster than that of carrier pigeons, but it is also time-critical, Nie Ertu hopes that the law management department will hurry up the timeline to set up the magic circle, but Yan Dupu refuses - it is easy to set up, but in case your boss says no, then who are these consumables?

If he only faced Yan Dupu, Nie Ertu would probably be able to slap the table and fight, but thinking about Saredin next to him, Nie Ertu had no choice, so hurry up and ask for instructions.

At a distance not too far, the mage can have a two-way conversation with any mage without the help of any magic weapon, but this place is hundreds of taeks away from the royal capital, so you need to use the stone mirror, the advantage of this magic weapon is that the distance is long, the anti-interference ability is strong, the audio and video synchronization, the only drawback is that it is too heavy, no one will carry it, and at the moment there is no one there.

This came and went, and by the time Nie Ertu came back, nearly four or five moments had passed. The people of the ceremonial office did not delay, and immediately started to build, and pulled the people from the supervision and legal office to help, and the five magic circles were opened at the same time - what, the two places of the ridge and the car do not need to be rectified, and the royal family's magic crystal is not falling from the sky.

The legal management department uses the magic circle, which is basically not open to the public, but this time the situation is a bit special, except for Nie Ertu, the two people in the legal management department don't know the victim at all, so Nie Ertu asked his subordinates to retreat to Bainiekai, and he was alone to observe.

This scene recreates the circle to form a five-eyed eight-line circle, which is not very complicated, the circle is about twenty nirvana, and it just encircles the remains of a corpse in the middle. Each of the five arrays has materials, but they are all covered with black wool, and it is obvious that someone is secretly learning, Nie Ertu snorted and was too lazy to care, but the eight lines could not be blocked, judging from the smell, it was painted with pig blood and zongzi wood ash.

Nie Ertu took four fist-sized standard spars, this spar is uniform in size, flat on six sides, and the blue surface is flushed with flowing luster from time to time, although Yan Du Pulai is arrogant, he has to praise a good stone when he sees this stone, and this royal family really keeps good things for their own use.

Yan Dupu took out an eyebrow-high Ji Lan wood twisted staff, casually put the magic crystal on the top of the staff, and then began to chant the mantra.

"My god shuttles, goes against time, controls the flow of time, I serve your name, please ask for grace, open this array, and reappear in the scene. ”

Before the spell was spoken, there was a change in the circle.

I saw that the eyes of the array covered by the woolen velvet faintly revealed a cyan light, and the light reflected in the wreckage of the array, which seemed to make the wreckage stained with a green glow.

I only heard Yan Dupu read again: "I read your name, please be gracious, the reason for this thing is in front of you." ”

After a while, the space in the circle seemed to change slightly, and the wreckage had turned into a human body lying on the grassy slope, and if anyone who was there that night would have recognized this as one of the blue-sleeved mages who had been killed by Arrogant.

However, this person only lasted for less than a few breaths, and suddenly a pillar of fire rose from the ground, engulfing the people on the ground in an instant, and after two more breaths, the pillar of fire had not yet been extinguished, but the scene in the array quickly faded away, leaving only the pile of wreckage in the array.

"That's all?" Nie Ertu couldn't help but ask if the magic circle was over.

"That's all you can see at this point, let's go to the next one. Yan Dupu put away his staff, ignored the others, and walked elsewhere.

However, by nightfall, the five re-enactments were almost identical, but they were not for nothing, except for the confirmation that all five mages had been killed before they were incinerated, and there was a surprising discovery that had been unexpected—at least three of them were certain to have died from injuries sustained by sharp weapons.

This discovery was important, but without any information about the killer's name, shape, or appearance, it was certainly unacceptable for Nie Ertu to gain only this level.

"Yan Dupu fellow practitioner, do you have any other magic circles that can find the perpetrator?" asked for someone, and Nie Ertu had to put away his arrogance.

"It's not necessarily that there is no way, but do you still have a magic crystal?"

Nie Ertu looked at the appearance of the last magic crystal on Yan Dupu's staff, gritted his teeth, and said.

"You guys go out first, and I'll write you an IOU. ”
