"Why are you here?" Belinda went out and looked at Lowe and Wright beside her, and then asked, "Is something wrong with Yvette?" ”

"Yes. Yvette hasn't been home since school ended yesterday. Lowe introduced his sister to the police officer next to him, "This is Mr. Wright." That's what we're here for. ”

Belinda politely saluted Wright.

"So, what can I do to help?" She asked.

Lowe explained his idea to Belinda, and the little girl agreed on the spot.

So while the housekeeper of the building had not returned, the three of them found a secret place that would not be discovered by passers-by, and prepared to try to start tracking.

"Please recall the image of 'Betty' you saw yesterday after school." Wright said, holding his wand.

"Ask in advance, will Belinda be erased in the next minute?"

Lowe has always had a strong rejection of such things as erasing and modifying memories. I'm still like this, let alone my baby sister.

"No, I don't. You and Belinda are in a special situation, and according to the captain, you have been excluded from the Muggle Regulations. ”

"That's good." Lowe put his mind at ease.

The spell began quickly.

Wright used the fourth-level spell "Mind Reading Mantra" this time, and after linking the spell to Luo Wei through physical contact, a very specific girl's appearance appeared in the minds of the three of them.

He has a double ponytail, his forehead is exposed, and he has some freckles on his face.

"Now we know what this 'Betty' looks like."

Wright stopped the spell, looked at Lowe and said, "If you want to find this person, you need her personal belongings." But apparently, we don't know her name or where to start. ”

In other words, "Betty's" appearance is just an image that stays in the minds of the three people, and there is no way to use it directly.

"Is there a kind of magic that can turn the image of the imagination in the mind directly into the paper?" Belinda unleashed her imagination.

However, her idea was quickly rejected by Wright

"At least as far as I know so far, it's basically impossible."

Lowe: "Why? ”

"There are only three essences of magic, creation, elimination, and interference. Among the magic techniques known to mankind, the only one with the deepest and most widespread application is interference magic. ”

Wright gave the two of them a popular science, "Normally, we think that creation and elimination are the realm of the gods, and even those four great wizards can only add a few creative attributes on top of interfering with magic. ”

"So, presenting what is in your head directly into reality is something that only a god can accomplish?" Lowe was surprised.

"Yes, the divine spell must be invoked to the gods, and it takes a long time to prepare for the ceremony."

Wright's words sent Lowe deep into thought.

What if it was so difficult to "imagine into reality...... There have been several times before when I sacrificed the things I conceived in the illusion to reality...... What is it?

Stuck bug?

This question gave Luo Wei a new understanding of the "illusion" itself. It's probably more than just a golden finger......

Wait a minute.

I've got a vision.

Isn't that a solution?

"You wait a little bit, I'm going to give it a try." Lowe said, "I know a divine spell that might work. Wait until I find a place to try it out. ”

Just you?

- Belinda and Wright both looked at him with "outrageous" eyes, while Lowe grinned and left the hallway and slipped into the men's restroom on the floor.

He found a cubicle and sat down, then pulled a 2 nit coin out of his pocket and entered the illusion.

"The price of a photo is 8 nits, so if you only need one, 2 nits should be enough, right?"

Thinking so, he began the familiar process of transfigration—

The face of Betty in his mind was transformed into a palm-sized color photograph in his hand.

Then there is the familiar sacrificial posture.

At the cost of two nits in your hand, sacrifice the photo to the real world.

……

"There it is!"

When I woke up from sitting on the toilet, what I was holding in my hand was no longer a coin, but a beautifully "printed" 8-inch photo.

Luo Wei rubbed his dizzy head, put the photo in his pocket, washed his face, and quickly returned the same way and came to the two of them.

"Where are you from...... What you asked the gods for? ”

When Wright saw the photo, his eyes widened as big as cowbells, and his thick eyebrows twisted into a figure-eight shape.

"Yes, but this is not a personal item, I asked the Lord God for an 'object that records the face', and I got this picture." Luo Wei's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he had a natural expression.

Belinda tugged at his sleeve and looked suspicious: "Why don't I remember that you believe in God?" Which god do you want to pray to? ”

"Wealth...... Oh no, the god of commerce and trade. Lowe almost slipped his mouth and quickly remedied, "I really didn't believe it, but do you remember the other day when I went to Medwell Manor and lost 1 gold pound?" I've believed it ever since. ”

Taishang Laojun, the ancestor of all immortals. The God of Wealth can only be regarded as a small official under his command, and he is promoted when he believes in him...... Luo Wei thought so, and his face was indifferent.

“…… All right. Although magic doesn't work very well, we might be able to use this photo and ask the people in the school. Wright pinched the picture and looked into the distance.

The two of them followed his gaze together, and the housekeeper of the building was running from the stairwell panting with a suit of clothes.

……

"This young lady is not a student at a public school, but I have seen it many times." "If I remember correctly," said the housekeeper, "she should be Miss Grant's companion, the maid of the Grant family." Every Thursday after the town hall meeting, she would accompany Mr. Councillor and wait here for Miss Grant from school. ”

"Thank you very much! What is her name? Lowe asked.

"Miss Grant calls her Daisy, which is a very common name for maids, and it is not known if it is her real name." The butler said.

Lowe and Wright glanced at each other, making sure it was a valid piece of new information. After a brief discussion, Wright decided to go with Lowe to Councillor Grant's home to investigate the situation.

Belinda repeatedly told her to "find Yvette as soon as possible", and reluctantly returned to the classroom.

The two left school and rode to the city in Wright's carriage.

At about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, they stood on the corner of the second lane of Municipal Street.

As you can see from the row of mailboxes hanging on the wall, Councillor Grant's home is No. 136, a small two-story building facing east and west.

"Do we need to see me? Or is it enough to pick up personal belongings? Lowe asked.

"In my experience...... Most of us don't see this Miss Daisy anymore. Wright muttered, raising his feet and walking into the box, "For a wizard with evil thoughts, Muggle names are not worth mentioning. ”

Really.

Neither of them entered the house when they saw a cardboard box on the ground next to the door. There was also a piece of paper on the wall that read:

Dear Daisy,

Since 26 October, you have been working in this government for 8 consecutive days and have decided to dismiss you. Personal items should be stored in cardboard boxes and taken away by yourself.

George Firth Grant.

Luo Wei's face darkened. How could he not have imagined that a maid who worked in his house every day would disappear for a week inexplicably, and no one thought about calling the police, but was directly fired?

"All the whereabouts are revealed."

Wright has already cast the spell. A clear trajectory of movement is shown in the lenses.

"Take the box, let's go. Go find this Miss Daisy. After Wright finished speaking, he silently turned to leave.

Luo Wei picked up the box and followed, and asked beside him, "If the person dies, will these tracks disappear?" ”

"No, it won't." Wright replied, "But if you think about it another way, if the person is dead, there is no need for the wizard to hide his whereabouts. ”

"Why?"

"The traces disappear in 48 hours. And the people who disappeared in general, especially Muggles of this humble status, don't know how much time has passed by the time they become aware of their possible disappearance. ”

Wright's tone was natural and determined.

This made Luo Wei deeply aware that there is a strong difference between this world and the situation in his previous life where "I felt that something was wrong when I didn't see anyone for a day".

In the era when there is no telecommunications and no Internet, the exchange of information is slow and blocked.

Nothing to say all the way.

The two turned south from Municipal Avenue and searched for a long way, crossing the Chavel Bridge to a residential area on the other side of the river.

Soon, they locked on to a remote compound by the river.

"It should be here."

Lowe turned the lens slightly, and the trajectory became clear again, proving that "Betty" had been moving around the compound a lot.

"It looks like there's a magically obscured barrier here, and the glasses don't see any magic fluctuations." Wright took a closer look and said, "You can go back first, and then the wizard team will conduct a thorough investigation here, and the case will be handed over to us." ”

"Can't I stay here?"

Lowe thought for a moment and added his reasoning: "Yvette should be locked up inside, right?" She's also a friend of mine, at least I want to wait until she's rescued. ”

Wright sighed, "You'd better leave...... Because we can't be sure how Miss Yvette ...... now."

He made a gesture of pinching his neck and gave Lowe a "you know" look.

“……”

"No, I'm sticking to my idea."

Lowe said firmly.

Without further persuasion, Wright turned and walked to a hidden corner to send a rallying signal to the wizard team.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Captain Evan with a small box containing the holy relics, everyone met at the far end of the villa.

"Preliminary judgment, at least level five - probably a level six, unregistered wizard. The name is 'Oleg' for the time being, and the spells he specializes in may be related to corpse control and illusions. ”

After listening to Wright's report, the captain made a simple guess, and then began to arrange a strategy for entering.

"Orrick's severed finger is in place. According to the usual plan, Mia and Isaac, the two of you are on guard and watch on the perimeter to prevent escape. Clemens, you two follow me, and go in as soon as the Sleeping Spell is over. ”

Everyone agreed in unison.

At this moment, Luo Wei became a melon eater, and was taken to the nearest roof by Mia, looking condescendingly at the entire surrounding environment of the villa.
