"I haven't asked yet, what level of wizard is Captain Evan?"

Lowe was lying on the roof, his eyesight not allowing him to see everyone's movements clearly. After staring hard for a long time, he chose to chat with the accountant lady beside him.

"Level five."

Mia's pupils turned crimson at some point, and with the tightly wrapped black trench coat on her body, she looked like a crow.

It's like the usual one in novels: silently crouching on a branch, watching everything in your sight.

"But there's a good chance that Oleg is a sixth-level wizard. Will the captain be able to handle it? ”

"The Clemens siblings are also level five." Mia turned her head and glanced at Lowe, "Even if you can't arrest it, it's no problem to retreat." ”

Her words gave Luo Wei a general idea of the wizard's combat prowess.

Warrent is currently a Level 3 wizard, while Mia ...... Lowe speculated that it could be level three or four.

Downstairs, the three captains have already made an action.

They unleashed at least two rounds of Sleep Charm on the villa by the river in hidden locations around them. In the monocle, dark red magic ripples surged towards the building like a tidal wave, quickly covering the entire surrounding area.

After this, Lowe saw the captain open the box containing the relic.

……

There was no light in the dimly lit villa.

Vines covered the red brick courtyard walls all around. In the corner of the courtyard wall, the wreckage of a horse-drawn carriage lay quietly.

The carriage is obviously the latest style nowadays, but it is as if it has experienced a hundred years of wind and rain, decayed and dilapidated, and exudes a damp musty smell.

On the second floor of the villa, in a certain room.

A man with long medium hair with a gloomy expression was standing in front of the table, putting many strangely shaped "lumps" into the burlap bag in front of him.

The lumps were like dried blocks of wax, twisted and compressed into a ball. However, it is clear that there is a smooth and flat knife edge on it, as if it has been cut into such a shape by a sharp blade after it has dried into pieces.

The man's hands kept moving, and his mouth kept whispering something secretly, fast, indistinct, and peculiar in tone, as if several voices were borrowing from his throat at the same time.

At this time, he suddenly raised his head as if he was out of control.

There was a mirror hanging on the wall in front of him, and beside himself in the mirror, a figure with small hands and feet, glowing with black glow, quietly climbed up to his neck.

The moment the man saw the figure, he immediately closed his eyes and lowered his head, making a respectful gesture.

Immediately after, an illusory voice rang in his ears.

"Before the dawn of the new dawn, everything sleeps deeply—"

This is the spell of the fifth-order "Sleeping Curse".

He could clearly feel that as the sound sounded in his ears, a complex wave of magic power pierced through the entire building.

But the spell only made his movements sluggish for a moment, and the sleeping effect was canceled out by the sound in his ears in the form of some kind of "resonance".

The man's face darkened.

He took out his wand, moved to the door of the room, and quietly opened the door and walked out.

……

In the living room on the first floor of the villa, the figures of the three Evan walked out of the strange shadows and highlights.

Upon arriving in the living room, he quickly used his wand to open the sealing box and re-store Orrick's severed finger.

Evan was keenly aware of a strange wave of magic in the air.

"The Sleep Spell has not been applied, and it is ready to fight at any time."

The three of them raised their wands and silently tapped them in the air, rippling light green light like water waves.

They quickly determined that there was no one on the first floor, and that the target should be on the second floor at this time.

Evan gestured, and the three of them gathered in front of the only staircase in the room, walking as lightly as they could, and walking upwards.

The wooden staircase is covered with a wool carpet, and as long as you move slowly enough, it barely makes any sound.

The three of them carefully turned around the corner of the staircase, and in front of them was a narrow staircase that could only accommodate a maximum of two people in parallel.

Evan was at the front, followed by Clemens.

The vision is getting darker and darker.

It was as if there was some kind of fog that completely absorbed the remaining sunset in the house.

Evan's eyes narrowed, his body tense.

As he took a step upward, his gaze immediately caught the corner of the wall on the left, revealing a little hem of his clothes.

At the same time, the staircase at the place where I landed made just the right sound.

Squeak –

In the next moment, a black-clothed figure suddenly flashed at the end of the stairs.

"Hehehe!"

He smiled and raised his hand, the tip of his wand was already lit up, and a dazzling turquoise light burst out the moment he appeared, shooting at the three people in the stairwell.

"Shock!"

The three of them, who had already been prepared, shouted the incantation in unison.

Rumble! ——

As soon as the pale yellow light curtain formed in front of him, he collided head-on with the raiding spell, making a violent explosion.

"Rush!"

With a shout, Evan took the lead in rushing out the white smoke from the explosion just now, took three steps and made two steps, and jumped up to the second floor.

His face was calm, and his wand connected the dots.

Whew——

Several blue-purple lightning bolts flew towards the figure in the corridor with a dazzling light.

However, the slowly regressing figure did not seem to be afraid, and with a wave of his hand, he eliminated these spells.

"Huh! ——”

There was a sound of strong dissatisfaction and resentment in the shadows.

Followed by a sky of red drops of blood—seeping from the walls and flying like bullets towards the few people who had just rushed up the stairs.

Evan frowned, and turned his head to look at the opening in the hallway behind him, where a set of tables and chairs was placed.

He shook the wand in his hand vigorously, and said in his mouth: "Get up! ”

A huge wooden table flew up out of thin air, blocking everyone's eyes.

Crackle!

The flying blood was immediately blocked by the heavy table.

However, the blood was not so simple, and the wooden table began to corrode and decay at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Wright, charcoal!"

"Lily, suppress!"

Evan pressed his grip on the wooden table and commanded.

"Drink!"

The wizard standing on the left quickly ripped off his mask and flung it deeper into the hallway.

A complex chant began in her mouth.

Boom! ——

The silver mask suddenly turned into countless particles in mid-air, and scattered like exploding white powder, pouring on the enemy's body.

On the other side, Wright raised his hand and pointed his wand at the fireplace.

Several black charcoal blocks the thickness of small arms flew out of the fireplace and smashed straight into the "blood rain" in front of everyone.

"Hah!"

As the charcoal rubbed past the trio, Evan threw the wooden table away from the shattering table and brought his left hand to his lips.

"Chara Rinves' Flame Blast!"

Blue tongues of fire erupted from Evan's open palm with the spell.

The moment the charcoal in the blood rain touched the tongue of fire, it exploded like fireworks!

Rumble! ——

With a deafening explosion, golden fireworks instantly swept through the entire corridor, evaporating the blood rain.

"Mental Suppression Level 2!" The sorceress who took off her mask shouted loudly.

Wright raised his hand sideways and quickly took two steps forward.

"Retardation!"

A dark blue ball of light burst out from the tip of the wand and flew quickly ten paces away, the figure that had retreated to the base of the wall.

The slightly embarrassed figure was still singing something, and before he had time to move, he was hit head-on, and the whole movement became extremely sluggish like a shot that was slowed down several times in an instant.

"Broken!"

Evan connected his wand again, and several bolts of lightning struck the figure.

Bang, pop!

Blue sparks flew away.

However, the figure still maintained a slow movement, and although it was hit, it did not stop.

"Something is wrong."

Wright had been approaching the figure, but now he stopped vigilantly.

The next moment.

Bang, bang, bang!

Three bullets accurately hit the man's eyes, eyebrows, and heart.

The sluggish movement suddenly stopped, and the figure slammed forward stiffly to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Evan stood still, holding a delicate revolver with a faint smoke from the muzzle.

The black fog that shrouded the villa quietly lifted.

After waiting for half a minute, Evan and the two wizards came to the figure.

There was no blood on the ground.

This man was wearing the clothes of a servant, and his skin and flesh were unusually dry, as if he had been drained of all the water in his body.

"It's not him."

Evan quickly concluded, "It's a corpse double, and he should have fled after casting the blood rain." ”

Evan narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look in the direction outside the villa.

Wright flipped the corpse on the ground over.

If Yvette had been present, she would have been able to identify it: this man was the coachman who had brought her to the villa that day, and was one of the servants of her house.

"Most of them ran away." Wright sighed.

"You two are on duty here, I'm going to support Mia and Warrent."

Without waiting for the two to nod, Evan hurriedly opened a window and jumped out neatly.

……

At this moment, outside the villa.

Lowe followed Mia, panting and running to the bank of the Chavir River.

Warrent then arrived from the other side as well.

It all happened so suddenly that everyone on the periphery didn't have time to react.

While there was still a fierce battle in the villa, they saw a black mist enveloping the figure and flying directly into the water from the second floor of the villa.

Mia's face was ugly: "Captain, they may have missed." ”

"Gan!" Warrent made a rare swear word, "How do you chase in the water?" There was no trace of anything. ”

"The wizard inside...... Escaped? Although Lowe vaguely guessed what was going on, he still didn't understand the situation.

Until Captain Evan trotted here.

"It's a stand-in inside, and the man escaped."

"Is it level six, captain?" Warrent asked.

"He can evade my mental power lock, a sixth-level wizard can't—at least not that simple." Evan looked at the calm river bank and said in a deep voice, "Conservatively estimated, it's a seventh-level wizard. ”
