A day earlier, after saying goodbye to the Emir, Anne had begun to wander the streets of the Plebeian district.

In fact, from the moment she entered the town, it was impossible for her to stay out of it.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that most magicians will use teleportation magic, and it is normal to mark in some places, so even if a peer sees it, he will not erase the magic array, unless he has something to do with that person and deliberately removes him.

Of course, Anne also has enemies, if she guessed correctly, her enemy should still be in this White Peak Town, that is, the Irene that Melissa asked her about before.

Speaking of Irina, she knew everything she had turned into ashes, but when Melissa mentioned it, she was worried that she would have something to do with the evil witch, so she didn't admit it.

The magic circle she left behind in Baifeng Town should have been erased by Irina, because Irene was from the same school as her and knew all about her traces of magic.

And sooner or later, this behavior will be discovered by her, so it is certain that Irena did it on purpose, just waiting for her arrival.

Next, to confirm this, Anne made a detour through the streets of the civilian area, and finally she stood next to a tall clock tower.

Marking the magic array is also particular, first of all, it must be selected in a hidden place, so that it will not be discovered by ordinary people, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and secondly, it must be on top of something solid, such as soft soil, once it rains, the magic array may be washed away, thus failing, or on a certain chest, if someone moves, in the end it is not known where it will be teleported.

And this clock tower just meets these two points, and generally no one notices here, its only value is that when the clock is rung at the hour, it is impossible for anyone to move such a tall building, and the possibility of demolition is even more remote.

She then stepped on the ladder of the clock tower to the top, and inside the hanging giant iron bell, she found the magic circle she had marked.

But it was completely different from the magic circle she used, that is, her original magic circle had been erased, and someone covered another magic circle.

She also knew her senior sister well, so she could tell at a glance that this magic array belonged to Irina.

This is also a teleportation magic, but it only teleports consciousness, and it only lasts for two minutes.

Anne didn't think much of it, just put her hand on it, and then injected magic.

With a flash of red light, Anne's consciousness traveled to a dark place, where it was pitch black all around, and there was a tall object in front of her.

Anne was shocked at the first sight of this thing, only to see that it was a huge plant, the stem and leaves were emerald green, there were hundreds of long leaves, and at the top of the plant there was a huge flower bud, which was in a budding state, and then the whole plant emitted a faint light, which was quite conspicuous in this dark space.

"It's ...... Gathering Spirit Grass? ”

Anne roughly recognized that the plant could be used to craft high-quality magic potions, which were intended to permanently increase the magician's magic level, but the size was different from what she had remembered.

Because the ordinary Spirit Gathering Grass is not as big as the palm of a human hand, but now it is so huge, it is really incredible.

If those people in the wizarding world knew about it, they would definitely not be able to sit still, and then their blood would boil, because this size of Spirit Gathering Grass is rare in a thousand years.

The potion made from this stuff was enough to make a novice with mediocre talent reach the level of the Empire's chief mage overnight.

Of course, Anne was fascinated by this Gathering Spirit Grass, rather, as long as it was a magician, no, anyone would be tempted, and they would either use it for themselves or sell it to others.

However, she was still vigilant, such a sight should have been deliberately meant to be shown to her, so what was her intention?

There was no doubt that Irena knew that Anne was after her, so she was always on guard, who knows what kind of moth she was up to.

As Anne was thinking, the surroundings suddenly brightened a lot, and she could tell that this should be a spacious room, and that the Gathering Spirit Grass was planted in a large flower bed in the center of the room.

Anne continued to look around to see if she could find any clues to what the place was.

After a while, finding nothing but a large door, she then brought her consciousness closer to the door.

The gate was more than four meters high, and it looked like it was made of bronze, with a monster-shaped relief on it, and a white crystal inlaid in its fangy mouth, which looked like it was supposed to be a magic lock, and it had to be infused with magic to open.

As the space grew brighter, Anne also noticed that the walls of the room were damp and the corners of the ceiling were dripping.

From this, it can be seen that this place should be underground, and there may be groundwater above.

After coming to this conclusion, Anne wanted to continue to observe, but suddenly a figure appeared in front of her.

It was the back of a woman, tall, with long black hair and a shawl, scantily dressed, and a tattoo of a horned demon on her bare back.

The woman stepped barefoot on the wet ground, and after a while she finally spoke, but still with her back to Anne.

"Hehe, don't come unharmed, my little sister."

“…… Irene where the hell are you? Could it be that he was afraid of me, so he hid. Anne's tone was not good.

"Afraid of you? Hehe, don't be funny, I've been waiting for you," Erina said slowly, in a flirtatious tone, "but before we meet, I'll have to test you first, and if you have the ability, you can find this place yourself." ”

"Tsk, don't play hide and seek with me, can you be happy, let's fight to the death."

"Oh, oops, girls must not put such rude words on their lips, be careful not to get married."

"Cut, get out of the way, okay?" Anne was impatient.

"Well, forget it," Irene sighed, "I'll give you a hint, if you can't find me, it will be too much fun, and we sisters will have to catch up." ”

"Whoever wants to catch up with you, wash my neck and wait."

"Hehe, you really don't talk mercilessly, but I like you like this...... Anyway, I'm still in Baifeng Town, and then you can go and investigate the disappearance of the previous magician, and when you investigate clearly, you can naturally see me, but unfortunately it was also your death at that time. ”

"Cut, who do you think I am, how could I be scared by you." Anne clasped her hands to her chest and said disdainfully.

"Hehe, let's try it."

Erina said, turning to face Anne, but her face was black, and only her two eyes glowed with a terrifying red light, as if they could take people's souls.

Anne was startled, and a chill suddenly rose behind her, and then, her consciousness dissipated, and when she reacted and found that she had returned to the top of the clock tower, she looked inside the clock again, and Irina's magic circle disappeared.

"Tsk, this guy is really troublesome." Anne frowned and grumbled.

After all, what she is best at is actually fighting, and she is not good at finding people or anything, and she doesn't like this kind of roundabout thing.

At this time, it was not appropriate to ask Emir for help, she had to solve it herself, but Erina had just said that she should investigate the case of the mage's disappearance.

Of course, she couldn't investigate it herself, but she suddenly remembered one thing, that is, Melissa had mentioned Erina before, so it was obvious that the Knights should be responsible for this case, maybe they knew that Erina did it.

That would make things easier, and she could have asked the Knights for help, but the first thing she had to do was her old friend, Clevy, who was a supernumerary member of the Order.

At this point, she could probably understand why there was not a single mage in White Peak Town, because Irena was intent on persecuting these mages, and as more and more people disappeared, it was impossible for them to stay here.

Anne then begins to follow her memories to Clivey's residence, and in the process, she discovers that many passers-by recognize her as a witch and look at her strangely.

It's enough to see how prejudiced they are against witches, but it's also unavoidable, and they've all heard that the recent disappearance of the magician is related to the evil witch.

If it was a normal day, Anne wouldn't care about these things, but she can't be too flamboyant now, who knows if there is any eyeliner from Erina among these passers-by.

So she found a random shop that sold clothes, and it didn't take long for a girl dressed as ordinary, like a little sister of the family, to come out, and no passers-by were surprised by her.

After some time, Anne came to a small house in the civilian area, a very ordinary family, and anyone could tell that the family's financial situation was not good.

It stands to reason that Clevy, who works for the Knights, can't be too shabby, but only Anne understands that he is trying to hide his eyes.

Clevy is a male magician in his thirties and a scholar, specializing in ancient magic books, hoping to gain useful knowledge from them.

But as a magician, he is doing things for the Knights, which is very ridiculous in the eyes of people in the wizarding world, and it is also their most shameful, and even a few years ago, some good people would come to him for trouble.

And he is an introvert, does not pay attention to interpersonal communication, and is dedicated to the study of magic, so he naturally stays away from this kind of thing, so although he has made a lot of money working for the knights over the years, he has never dared to live in the high-end aristocratic quarter, and only owns a dilapidated house in this civilian quarter.

Anne then approached the door and found an eyeball-sized amethyst on it, which, in her experience, should have been a magic lock.

So she injected magic directly into the crystal, but it didn't work, and the door still didn't move.

After a while, she suddenly remembered that she had made a big deal with Clevy the last time she came, and in order to give back to her, Clevy gave her an amethyst, saying that it was the key.

At the time, she couldn't understand how amethyst could be used as a key. It wasn't until now that she roughly understood, so she pulled out her amethyst and tapped lightly on the door.

Immediately after, the amethyst on the door emitted a strong light, and the door made a "creak" sound, and then it opened.

Anne immediately pushed the door in, however, she suddenly found that the traces of magic in the room were quite strong, to the point of being uncomfortable.

As she scanned the small room, she finally noticed a man lying on the floor, and the table next to her was full of bottles and cans.

“…… Alas, it seems that this guy's experiment has failed again. She couldn't help but smile helplessly.
