As soon as they stepped onto the second floor of the Pharmacists' Association, everyone felt their eyes light up. And that's not because there's anything beautiful about this floor. It's just that compared with the dim lighting on the first floor, the lighting on the second floor is really uncomfortable. A large number of lenses are installed at the top of this level, which perfectly reflect the sunlight coming in from the central patio and illuminate the entire floor.

"It's a really interesting design. Jack said as he raised his hand to his eyes and looked at a string of huge lenses hanging from the roof.

"Definitely. The person who designed the device was a talent. Cheese said. He knew very well that it was not just a matter of hanging a few lenses on the roof to achieve the immediate effect. In order to use the refraction and reflection between lenses to create the present scene, it must go through extremely precise calculations and complex designs, and even if it were to ask a mage to build such a system, it would take a lot of time.

"These lenses...... I seem to know who designed the lighting system. Kolandi also looked up at the things on the roof, and frowned.

"There is no doubt that this system is indeed the work of Ms. Greene. It was a gift she gave to the then chief pharmacist at the time. Jason said suddenly, perhaps because of his body, this time his voice was not as empty as before.

"I said I had seen this kind of design in my grandmother's notes. I see. Hearing the guide confirm her memory, the witch nodded. Although Greene was her grandmother, the age span between witches was much longer than that of humans, and when Greene and Emia arrived in the city, Kolandi had not yet been born. She had only the impression of the device from the old witch's hand, as it appeared in her notes.

"How did you know about this? It must have been a long time ago. Lothar asked Jason curiously, as the Earl of Montenegro, he knew very well that the lighting system, which the whole Greylion was proud of, must have been around for a long time.

"There's nothing strange about that. I also helped with the construction of these things. The captain of the guard shrugged his shoulders and said. And if what he said is true, then this mysterious guy has been in the royal capital for at least nearly twenty years.

"What do you mean by doing a favor...... You've been guarding this place for twenty years?" asked Jack suspiciously, he hadn't seen Jason in the shadow state, so although Wolfwalker instinctively felt that this guard captain was not quite right, he didn't know that it was strange.

"No, at that time I just borrowed the body of a scholar at that time. Same as now. Jason said, with a look of remembrance on his face, as if he was looking for the situation in his memory.

However, more than about the builder of the equipment, Cheese sensed an extremely sensitive piece of information from the words of the guide.

"Have you been around for at least twenty years?" the mage's eyes looked at the captain of the guard, as if looking at some rare animal.

Jason just laughed at this.

"yes, it's been almost twenty years. Even the witch who made me is gone. And my disembodied shadow still lingers. ”

"Well, at least now I understand why you agreed to help us. Cheese nodded, and since Jason was a product of Greene's creation, there was an explanation for his actions.

In fact, the mage did not trust Jason before, and the characteristics of the Wizard Shadow determined that Jason would not be affected by the plague at all, rather that the more people died from the plague, the more benefits he would receive. The reason why Cheese asked Jason to participate in this operation is because he didn't mean to spy on him.

"You, grandma made it?" said Kelanti as she looked at each other, confused. If she had seen them in Greene's notes, she had never heard of her grandmother creating a wizard's shadow.

"Yes. Ms. Greene made me, and she gave me the ability to think. So I will always be loyal to your family. It was only later that Lady Greene ordered me to act alone and gather information as her eyes and ears, so you would not be aware of my existence. Jason said, judging by the look on his face, he was telling the truth.

"Now isn't the time to talk about this, is it? Lothar said as she noticed that the apprentices around her who were guarding the herb were beginning to notice the presence of her group.

The others nodded and agreed with the Count of Montenegro, and they walked through this floor of herbs carefully cultivated by various utensils to the staircase by the patio. The third floor, which is the office space of important personnel of the Pharmacists Association, will naturally not be as unguarded as the first two floors.

"There is no traffic here. "Two masked guards stopped the group, their crossed axes and spears blocking the passage to the third floor.

"The Earl of Montenegro and the Cheese Master have made an appointment with Baron Gray, who are their retinue. Please let go. Jason said indifferently, these soldiers guarding the third floor were not his subordinates.

Hearing Jason's words, the two guards looked at each other, and then actually lifted the axe and gun, making way for the staircase to the third floor.

"The Count and the Bachelor may go up. But others can't. One of the two guards said to Colante and Jack.

Cheese and Lothar looked at each other, the former nodding slightly. In the mage's opinion, this is not an excessive request, there is no need to startle the snake here because of this, and for the witch and the wolfwalker, once they receive the mage's signal, the two guards can solve it in an instant. When the time comes, they will rush up to the third floor and join the cheese and they will not be too late.

"Oh well. You two are waiting for us here. The Count of Montenegro said to the two behind him, and led the way up the stairs.

After the two mages disappeared around the corner of the hallway, Jason led Jack and Colandy to the side of the patio. You can see that the sunlight from the fourth floor is evenly distributed in the patio through reflection to several floors. The bottom of the patio, the roof of the first floor, is filled with dense spikes.

"What are these spikes for?" asked the wolfwalker curiously.

"Used to prevent theft. The value of the lighting system is even higher than the herbs in the building, and the spikes are a warning to the ill-intentioned to be careful. Jason said, probably just remembering his previous efforts to build the lenses, and he was quick to answer.

"Cut, is this really a burglar-proof?" said Jack, who was dismissive of the so-called anti-theft device.

"For a powerful wolfwalker like you, these are of course just pediatrics. Still, they're powerful for flesh-and-blood creatures. The captain of the guard said.

"Hey, don't talk so loudly!What if they hear it!" Jack heard the other party directly say his identity, and quickly reached out to cover Jason's mouth. The three of them were not far from the two guards guarding the door, and there were many apprentices who cared for herbs walking around, which made him very worried that these words would be heard by others.

"Don't worry, they already knew. Jason said in a hollow voice. His eyes lost focus as he said this.

"What do you say...... Hmm...... wolfwalker was startled by the other party's words, but before he could finish speaking, a sudden colic made him lose the ability to speak.

"Only pure silver can kill a true wolfwalker. The captain of the guard continued, spinning the silver dagger in his hand into Jack's abdomen. Warm blood splattered out as the enlarged wound spurted. And after being hit so hard, Jack's body began to wolf involuntarily.

"Jack, what's wrong with you?" Because of the perspective, Kolanty didn't see the blade inserted into the werewolf's abdomen, she just wondered why Jack stopped in the middle of his sentence. The witch had just focused on studying the lenses and hadn't heard Jason.

"Miss Corandy, your grandmother has something for me to tell you. Jason stopped paying attention to Jack, who was on his knees in pain, and walked towards Colenty with a blank face. And this action of his also made the witch notice that he belonged to the werewolf blood on his body.

"You ......" Kelanti wanted to say, but she trusted her companion too much, which made her too close to Jason.

Before the witch's mouth could be fully opened, the captain's large hand was already covering her vision like a black cloth. Jason covered Kolandy's face with his right hand and grabbed the witch from the ground.

"Sorry, maybe I'm mistaken, maybe she didn't leave a message for you. Tapping his head with his left hand, Jason made a confused gesture. Then with a wave of his right hand, he threw Colente into the patio at once.

"But you'll be able to see her soon, and you can just talk to her if you have anything to say. ”
