Chapter 114: Investigation
The apprentices of the City of the Sages bought a villa some distance from the auction site, the villa was more luxurious and had its own underground part, and in a prosperous town like Ludwig, no one would take the initiative to sell such a luxury villa, so Yenifa guessed that the apprentices were forcing the other party to sell the villa for their use.

The location of this villa is very good, just stand on the balcony on the top floor and you can see the auction house in the distance, and because there are bungalows all around, there are some squares and gardens and other things, so the view around the villa is very open, you only need to see the top floor window to see a long distance.
"As far as I know, if they have something to be auctioned at auction, then they should go directly to the hotel specially prepared for wizards by the Healing Church, which is safe and secure, there are a large number of guards, and they have the City of Sages as a backer and are not afraid to heal the church to embarrass them, why should they buy a villa alone?"
Yenifa was puzzled by the motives of the apprentices.
"I've also thought about this question, although it is true that there are many wizards who don't like to live in a specially prepared hotel prepared by the Healing Church, but at that time, I thought that they were all first-level wizards or above, and they were confident that they had the ability to protect their property, but why did a group of apprentices not live in a safe hotel, but instead buy a villa to live in?" Ketra held her right elbow with her left hand, and her chin with her right hand.
"I think about it, there is only one possibility - this group of people may have other purposes besides participating in the auction, and even participating in the auction is only incidental, and the other purpose is the main one, which will explain why they don't stay in the hotel, because the hotel will definitely be watched, and whatever they want to do will be seen clearly by the healing church. ”
Ketra gestured with her hand to the tall villa not far away, which was taller than all the surrounding buildings, so it could be seen from a distance.
"Is there any other purpose? whatever their purpose is, it will certainly not be a good thing, and if it is a good thing, they will not be afraid of being watched, and only an unspeakable conspiracy needs to be covered up by a separate villa. Yenifa smiled and said, "It's getting more and more interesting, I wonder if we can be a yellow sparrow again?"
"I'll leave this to me, I'm confident in my scouting skills, and I can dig them up for whatever they're hiding, whatever their purpose is!" Aveline said.
"No, don't act rashly, we are here to step on the point, not to take action officially, our purpose this time is to find out their defense situation and specific arrangements, lest we invade tomorrow without preparation, and then we will die a miserable death!" Ketra turned to his companion and admonished.
The trio crept up the alley between the bungalows, and were very careful to keep themselves in the shadows, using the houses and bunkers to cover themselves as much as possible so as not to be seen by the wizard apprentices who stayed behind in the villa.
Although it is unlikely that anyone will have nothing to do at this time to go up to the balcony on the top floor to watch the scenery, but in order to be sure, they still take the most cautious posture to sneak approach, even if there is really someone on the top floor of the villa, they will not be seen.
"Aveline, come and see, you're an expert in recouting, can you analyze how we can climb to the roof of their house as planned?" Hiding behind the shadow of a square wall, Ketra looked at the villa for a moment before turning to Aveline.
Aveline cautiously poked her head out to observe the villa.
The villa is surrounded by a large garden in the center, the garden area is large, outside the garden is a circle of streets, beyond the street is the bungalow where they are now, and the large garden in the middle has now been cleared, there is nothing but the lawn, which forms an open area.
You can only enter the villa after passing through the open area, but there is no cover on the open area, and there must be a lot of spells, plus if there is another wizard on the top floor, it is difficult to approach it without being noticed.
"This empty lawn is a big problem," said Aveline after looking at it for a moment, "I don't care what kind of spells they have to defend the lawn, this empty lawn alone is very tricky, there is no shelter here, and stepping on it will almost certainly cause alarm. ”
Yenifa nodded, and took out a bottle of potion from his pocket: "This is the 'shulker potion', I improved the recipe, and the effect is about three points stronger than the ones on the market, do you think it can help us get through the lawn area?"
Although Yenifa is in the bottleneck stage of alchemy, but he has made very good achievements in potions, the general potion formula is fixed, and the pharmacist himself needs to modify the formula dosage appropriately according to the actual situation, and Yenifa has been able to achieve extremely fine operation because of the operation, so he changed the original formula, the difficulty of configuration has been greatly improved, but the efficacy has also increased significantly.
"I'll have to try this to find out......" Aveline said, beginning to quickly chant the Kianoor Lund spell, "[Avatar Transformation]!"
With the incantation, Aveline flickered with magical energy, and her entire human form changed dramatically, she gradually lost her human form, slowly changed into fluffy and chitin carapace, and her limbs gradually changed into eight slender limbs, and her body was constantly shrinking.
After a dozen seconds, there was no more Aveline in place, replaced by a tarantula the size of a millstone!
"High-level Transfiguration?!Turned into an Iltan tarantula?!" Yenifa almost screamed, but good training and literacy allowed him to suppress the urge to scream in time, "The level of a junior apprentice has mastered the high-level Transfiguration?!How is this possible?!"
"How is it impossible, you are only allowed to master the potion configuration technique in half a month, and others are not allowed to master the high-level transformation technique in advance?" A narrow smile appeared on the corner of Kaitra's mouth, and when she looked at this expression, Yenifa guessed that she had known that Aveline had this ability, but she never told him, just like looking at his expression.
High-level Transfiguration is not something that can be practiced just by virtue of talent, just like Yenifa practicing alchemy, there are standards for magic energy, mental power and physical strength, so even if Yenifa is highly talented, he can't complete alchemy in a junior apprentice, and the same is true for high-level Transfiguration, in addition to talent, there are other conditions, and those who master it in a junior apprentice are afraid that the entire region is Aveline.
The so-called Transfiguration, Yenifa has always been curious about what the principle is, why people can transform into other forms and retain their self-consciousness and magical energy intact, for example, if a person becomes a cat, where does the part of the flesh that disappears after shrinking go? Where does the flesh and blood come from when a person becomes a dragon?
The basic Transfiguration can only make the wizard become a creature of similar size, and it must be of the type with limbs and torso, you can transform into someone else's appearance, just like the T-1000 in the Terminator;
The high-level Transfiguration, which is the Transfiguration technique used by Aveline, can transform into creatures with relatively large body differences, such as cats, dogs, lions, tigers, etc., while the expert-level Transfiguration can not only transform into creatures with greater body differences, but also into inanimate objects, such as tables, chairs, benches, etc., and Master Transfiguration can transform into creatures with large body differences such as small bugs or elephants, and can also become inanimate objects.
The highest level is the legendary level of transfiguration, which can not only change from the original human body to a giant or an ant, into a piece of paper or a house, but also can completely cover up your soul breath, and no witchcraft can detect that this thing is actually a human become, which can be said to be a divine skill at the level of supernatural transformation.
In Aveline's case, Yenifa guessed that it might be because she had half of the blood of the Iltan tarantula in her body, and half of the genes in her body belonged to the Iltan tarantula, so it was much less difficult to transform with Transfiguration, so it was only possible to achieve the effect that only high-level Transfiguration could achieve.
The millstone-sized tarantula shrunk as small as it could, and quietly headed for the edge of the open lawn.
There is no one on the balcony or by the window of the villa, so there is no need to worry about anyone seeing it for the time being, but the lawn and the walls of the villa must have been densely packed with dissatisfaction, so it should not be taken lightly.
Having no worries about being seen, only careful technique, Aveline's advance became bold, and her eight limbs danced rapidly, approaching the edge of the lawn.
Reaching the edge of the lawn, Aveline paused to take a closer look at the lawn, her eight legs moving forward slowly, a tarantula the size of a millstone, but walking as slowly as a snail.
For a long time, Aveline seemed to be sure that the edge of the lawn was unfortified, and then carefully stepped her whole body into the grass.
Because of her eight-legged legs, Aveline could explore very smoothly and slowly, walking extremely slowly, and it took several minutes to advance more than ten meters, and Yenifa was sleepy outside, and Aveline had not even approached the walls of the villa.
However, Aveline's cautious attitude paid off, as she managed to dive most of the distance without triggering any spells, as if she had never been here.
Half an hour later, the whole city was already at night, and the city was lit up like a bright galaxy shining in the dark night scene, and at this time, Aveline finally reached the base of the villa.
