Chapter 738: The noose that began to tighten

In addition to Ragwen Lux, the vigilantes also enlisted the assistance of the magical institutions owned by Lady Liyunozia in the Free City, and several high-ranking mages were also invited to check the pedestrians entering and exiting the dark streets, so as to prevent the prisoners from using stealth or teleportation to escape.

The level 18 old magician Farakent, who had a relationship with Graven before the scene of the crime, was also present, looking at the charred spying corpse, the old magician just squinted his eyes slightly and concluded: "Level 4 Flame Magic Flame Ring┉┉ From the surrounding situation, the other party's level of magic use is quite high, and it almost does not cause any movement. ”

Seeing that the old magician said in an appreciative tone, Graven shrugged his shoulders and took out the small notebook he carried with him and recorded it: "┉Then let's further determine the identity of the other party by interrogating the owner of the stolen goods shop." ”

No magician would have come to this ghost place in the dark street, even the most rudimentary magic apprentice would not come here with his own identity, and Graven was almost certain that the mysterious magician who killed the vigilante spies this time was the one who had stolen, set fire, and other crimes that shook the entire Free City.

"Maybe he hasn't escaped yet, and now he's scurrying around this block like a headless fly, hehe~ I really want to see this magic array genius sooner. "Rather than arresting the culprit, the old magician Farakent obviously wanted to meet the genius who almost regarded the protective circle as if it were infallible.

After the fire in the warehouse area, Farakent returned to his research workshop and began to conduct a series of experiments with his colleagues, all of which imitated the prisoner's method to break through and break the protective circle and magic lock, but the magicians who spent a lot of time and money in the entire legal institution still couldn't do it to the same extent as the prisoner, and some people even thought it was impossible, but the problem was that the prisoner did turn the impossible into reality.

How the other party could easily break through the various protective circles and how to unlock the magic lock in five minutes, Farakent was puzzled by this time. Thinking about this problem made Farakent feel like he was addicted, and he felt uncomfortable all over his body if he didn't unravel the old magician for a day.

The old magician was still looking forward to whether he could be lucky enough to bump into a genius prisoner today, but Graven didn't think so, the gangs in the dark streets were not stupid, most of them dug tunnels in all directions for escape in times of crisis, maybe the prisoners would use these tunnels to escape. Moreover, the prisoner himself has the ability to ignore all detection by the protective circle, and has also broken into the heavily guarded warehouse area alone, although the entrance and exit of the black street are now blocked. Even the magicians from the law school were called in to assist in the search, but as for whether they could catch the other party this time, Gradin honestly didn't know at all.

However, as Graven had predicted, the search did not find the culprit, and the other party escaped under the double martial law of the security guards and the armed guards, but obtained important information from the owner of the shop who sold the stolen goods.

"A magician who claims to be Misay?"

"The name can be ignored, anyway, nine times out of ten it is a kana┉┉"

At the vigilante headquarters, Graven was analyzing the news with the captain of the vigilante.

In Graven's opinion, this time the prisoner really fell into the net, leaving too many important clues for himself: "Although the other party is wearing a mask, he can't recognize his real face, but from his figure, he should be a teenager." This clue allows us to immediately reduce the number of people to investigate, which can save a lot of time. ”

"Boy, I didn't hear of such a young magician, and he was a magician who could ignore all the protective circles in the Free City. The captain of the security team, a tall-looking man, shook his head and said in disbelief.

Graven quickly accepted this fact: "In addition to humans, it is not excluded that there may be long-lived races such as elves and half-elves, and if it is the latter two, it is also possible that they have the appearance of teenagers." ”

"Then this kid is really bold, he actually stretched out his hand to the free city!"

Speaking of half of the security team, the captain frowned and said in an inquiring tone: "┉If it is a teenager, will it be the slave who escaped during the previous riot?" ”

┉ I don't want to rule out this possibility, but according to the shop owner's confession, the other person's arms are intact. Besides, it was impossible for that slave boy to go from a slave who knew nothing to an archmage who was proficient in magic circles in such a short period of time. ”

"But at the time of the riot, the orcs who were with the boy were said to be ┉┉"

"What do you say?"

The captain of the security team suddenly realized that he almost said something that he shouldn't have said, and quickly changed his words: "It is said that the orc seems to use magic. ”

"Orcs who know magic? But it has nothing to do with who we're talking about. Graven shrugged his shoulders and continued to look at the investigation report in his hand.

Orcs do use magic, and they use magic that isn't!

As the captain of the city security team, he naturally knows some of the inside stories in that riot, in the riot the orc's body flowed some like magic, no matter how the armed guards attacked it, the wounds on the orc's body would heal quickly, and even when facing the arena champion Gerkite was beaten several times in a row and could stand up and continue fighting. Eventually, the orcs even turned into some kind of demonic monster, and there were so many things that happened in the riot that night that could not be described by common sense.

Because of this, all the guards and officials who participated in the suppression of the riot were warned not to leak any information, but after all, there were too many people at that time, and it was inevitable that some of them were leaked, which caused all kinds of rumors about the riot that night to spread throughout the free city.

The captain of the security team still chose to remain silent, after all, the upper echelons of Free City are too terrifying. I can't afford to be a little captain.

Graven, who was silent in his analysis of clues, did not notice anything, but the investigator kept marking the map of the city as if he was indulging in his favorite thing to do, and the words in his mouth seemed to have completely forgotten the situation around him, until Graven drew a circle on the map again.

"All the shops selling food in this area have sent spies to keep an eye on them. Soon Graven gave the first order.

"Do you want them all?"

"None of them can be left behind. ”

The corners of the security captain's mouth twitched, but he still nodded and agreed, the area marked by Graven is not small, but the number of shops and restaurants selling food is not large, and it is still within the tolerance of the security team, and this is a major case in the Free City, especially the victim of the arson case is still one of the Big Three, Sir Philipes, no matter what other cases, the culprit must be found out first.

During this time, the stolen goods stolen by the prisoners were classified into three categories, some books, gems, and materials for the study and study of magic, followed by cash that could be used directly, and finally various gems and ornaments that could be used for sale.

If the prisoner can really enter and exit any kind of protective circle as he wants without being detected, then Free City is completely a huge toy box for the prisoner, he can take whatever he wants, so what is the purpose of stealing cash like this?

Of course, Graven did not rule out that the prisoner would go to casinos, prostitution parlors and other places where money was needed to spend, but after further analyzing the time and law of the criminal's crime, Graven judged that the property stolen by the prisoner should have been used for the purchase of food and daily necessities, and during the time when the prisoner committed the crime, he did not receive too many reports of theft of food stores and restaurants.

In some respects, the prisoner should be regarded as a kind of hatred of the rich, or some conscience

People who are born in the lower classes of the free city, even if they are not local to the free city, should be born in a similar class. Graven also deduced the possible identity of the prisoner, but there are still some incongruous misunderstandings in how to think about it, if the prisoner originally came from a humble background and later became a master of the magic circle through hard work, and then infiltrated the free city to destroy and the target was directly at Philipus.

As for why he wanted to deal with Philip Graven, he didn't want to care, the slave trade in the hands of that lord sir was a lot of enmity on the entire continent.

If so, it may make sense, but the question is that there are people who come to carry out the conspiracy without even having enough money for their activities?

Graven couldn't help but recall the words of the young president of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce before, since the other party can become a magician, and he is also a master who is proficient in the magic array, as long as he hands over some of the skills in his hand, he can easily exchange it for a large amount of wealth, in this case, why did the other party run to the free city to engage in such petty theft, isn't this exposing himself in advance?

Graven, however, drew a smaller circle: "This river is being carefully searched. ”

"That river has been searched last time, and there are no clues, and besides, even a mage can't sleep in the water. ”

Graven suddenly pulled out a picture that looked like a river plan and said: "I have looked through the river blueprints, and according to the drawings, a storage room for materials and tools has been opened in the river at that time, and it is extremely likely that the prisoners will use it to hide. ”

"Locker! are you sure? Mr. Laven!"

The captain of the security team was a little puzzled: "If there is really a storage room, our personnel will never look away, and there are no suspicious blind spots in the river." ”

"Don't forget, the other party is a mage, and it is highly likely that he will set up an illusion circle to deceive, and he is carefully searching the river anyway. ”

After recording all of Graven's requests, the captain of the security team quickly began to worry about his subordinates assigning work, while Graven remained in the office room, looking at the map full of markings and revealing a falcon-like gaze, he had a premonition that the prey he was going to capture was getting closer and closer to him, and now the noose had been tightened almost, but there was still an important issue to consider. )
