Investigation Order No. 6.

The vast majority of the inhabitants of Van En have heard of this.

In fact, this is the most common type of investigation order issued by the Legislative Committee, which is mainly used for routine visits and investigations to ordinary civilians, and of course, such visits and investigations are often inevitably accompanied by some "tough actions".

"Investigation Order 6 is coming to your doorstep soon!"

This is a very common form of swearing among the low-level residents of Van Grace.

Even though Xiuge had been mentally prepared before, he still inevitably felt nervous when he heard the words of the members of the Dharma-Committee in front of him.

But he did not dare to turn away these hard-line investigators, but opened the door very cooperatively, and behaved like ordinary people who were visited by the legal committee, cowering, stammering, and trembling slightly.

Xiuge's gaze quickly swept over the three figures outside the door, and at the front stood two fresh faces, a young man holding an investigation warrant and a young woman holding a spell book.

Both of them were plain-looking, wooden faces, and both wore "Stream-level" mage-level badges, and Xiuge noticed that from the moment he pushed open the door, the eyes of the two mages were fixed on his body and in the room behind him.

"It looks like they're ready to 'take me' down at any moment......"

Xiuge sneered, then turned his gaze behind the two stream-level mages, where he saw a somewhat familiar figure.

It is still a decent and elegant legal committee robe, and it is still the face that is delicate and quite scholarly.

Unlike last night, the female mage wore a pair of glasses, and the long hair that had been tied back of her head was now loosened, and the warm afternoon sun made the cold feeling on her body slightly diminished.

Xiuge didn't dare to look too closely at the three uninvited guests, he took a step towards the back, and before he could say the word "please come in", the two stream-level mages who were walking in front had already stepped in silently, and they seemed to have entered the state of work in an instant.

The mage walked straight into the depths of the foyer, opened the spellbook in her hand, tore a page from it, and then pulled out a dagger and nailed it hard to the center of the wooden floor of the foyer.

The male mage unceremoniously pushed Shug away, put away the warrant, and then took his tools out of his pocket.

It was a metal chain connected to a carved piece of magical crystallization.

Shug watched as the male mage wrapped the chain around his index finger and thumb, and then he released the dark green crystals at the end of the chain.

In the dimly lit hallway, the dark green crystals that shimmered with magical brilliance fell down, and it jumped slightly, and then stabilized at great speed as if it had been grasped by an invisible hand.

The surrounding magic began to slowly change, and the dark green crystals began to sway back and forth at a steady frequency.

It looks like a special and delicate magic pendulum.

A cold voice from the rear answered Xiuge's doubts at this time: "This is the magic road pendulum...... In the Legislature, we often use this tool to look for traces of magic and magic. ”

Before Xiuge could speak, the delicate face had already come to his side, and Xiuge heard the lake-level female mage sniff lightly twice, and then he heard the other person's question: "I have heard that people like you who are engaged in writing and art like you like the smell of ashweed, Mr. Ernst, is that so?" ”

"Occasionally."

In the face of the tests and doubts that had come to him, Xiuge was no longer as nervous as before, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied as usual: "I'm not really a writer, just an ordinary person who writes something in exchange for manuscript fees...... So I don't know any famous artists and writers, but I've heard people say that most people don't like the smell of ashweed, they just want to use this method to assert their identity. ”

"Hmm...... What about you? Mr. Ernst, do you like the smell of ashweed? ”

The mage turned, and she raised a hand, her thin, white fingers quickly scanning the nearby cabinet, as if searching for dust left on its surface.

"I value the effectiveness of the ash grass in removing odors and musty odors," replied carefully and earnestly, and after each light it, it would be more suitable for burning incense indoors...... That's the really inspiring stuff. ”

"Hmm."

The mage replied noncommittally, and then she bypassed her two subordinates, who were busy checking the traces in the room, and walked to the staircase leading to the second floor without waiting for Xiuge to show the way.

There was indeed a slight smell of incense wafting from the second floor, a little bland, a very common variety in the city of Seren, which was normal, and those incense that smelled strange and had been specially treated by alchemists was definitely not something that a down-and-out third-rate writer could have.

Shuge glanced twice at the two busy Stream mages before gritting his teeth and following him to the second floor, where the female mage was already standing in the hallway leading to her bedroom, looking like she was "admiring" the old landscape paintings hanging on the walls.

Seeing Shug coming, the female mage lowered her gaze and asked, "Mr. Ernst, are all the things here left over from before?" ”

"Yes, I've made limited changes to this old house, and in general, it's a bit of cleaning and cleaning."

"You're dealing with these things yourself?"

"Well, yes...... After all, servants also need to pay wages. ”

Faced with these questions, Xiuge gave his own answers, and immediately after, he saw the lake-level mage walking towards the bedroom.

She stood in front of the bedroom door, then raised her hand, gently lifted the curtain, and knocked twice on the bare door frame: "What's the matter?" ”

"It was damaged a while ago, ma'am......"

"Oh?"

She didn't ask too much, and after taking a serious look at the door frame, she walked into Xiugue's bedroom without any visitors.

Xiuge naturally didn't dare to stop it, he could only follow closely and watch the other party wander around his own side of the world.

The scented incense burner was placed in the corner of the desk, and the thin smoke was slowly wafting out of it, and after looking around the bedroom, the mage came to Xiuge's desk, and she glanced quickly at the bookshelves, and then at the manuscripts on the desk.

She picked one up and flipped through it quickly.

Immediately afterward, there was a noticeable halt in her movements.

Shuge blushed slightly, of course he knew what was in the pile of papers on his desk...... Even if they are scrapped manuscripts, they are enough to make people blush, and no matter what the purpose of the other party came to their residence, having a strange young woman flip through such a manuscript directly in front of them gives people a sense of social death.

At this moment, two stream-level mages who had been busy near the foyer walked up one after another, and the man with a wooden face reported in a deep voice: "Routine inspections have been strictly enforced. ”

The female mage's gaze did not take her eyes off Xiuge's manuscript, she waved her hand very casually: "Let's talk about the result." ”

"There are disordered remnants of magic on the furniture, walls, floors, and carpets, which have been confirmed to be traces left by the burning of the ash grass, and the magic road pendulum has a weak reaction, which is at a normal level."

At this point, the man glanced in the direction of Xiuge, and then he went on to report, "There are a small number of magical anomalies in some of the cracks in the walls, but due to the interference of the Misty Ash Grass and some other reasons, it is not possible to determine the time of its occurrence for the time being, and further examination is required. ”

"Hmm......"

The female mage nodded, and then she asked without raising her head, "What do you mean by further inspection?" ”

"As a general rule, we need to break down the walls for a second inspection, and if we can, we can also conduct a 'psychic interrogation' of Mr. Ernst."

Hearing this, Xiuge's eyebrows couldn't help but jump.

If "Investigation Order No. 6" is just a disgusting mess, then "Psychic Interrogation" is a foul-smelling pit that can hold all kinds of filth indefinitely.

Its fame was so great that even if Shuge had never studied magic systematically, he would know what it was all about.

The so-called "psychic interrogation" refers to an extremely crude and reckless method of magical interrogation, in which the memories and spirits of the interrogated will be forcibly ripped open by the interrogators of the Judicial Commission like nuts under a hammer, and the contents will be browsed and plundered at will, and once such interrogation is carried out, the mental world of the interrogated will be completely destroyed into a mess.

Even if they survive, their memory and wisdom will be irreparably damaged, and in circuses everywhere, there are many actors who have become crazy because of the "psychic interrogation", which is the only way out after they are lucky to survive, after all, except for the circus for the purpose of making people laugh, there will be no other place to need crazy fools.

If he could, Xiuge would love to post for help now.

"Can a Stream-level magic kill a Lake-level mage and her two Stream-level lackeys in an instant? Online, etc., urgently. ”

The answer to this question is actually known in Xiuge's mind.

"It's useless to be in a hurry, it is recommended to send it directly."

Shuge stood trembling in place, his left hand hidden behind him, his mind constantly searching for his possible next out.

However, in the face of the terrible suggestion made by her subordinates, the cold female mage let out a chuckle: "Bill, after the attendance is over, you need to copy the regulations of the Law Committee ten times and hand them over to the Judgment Division yourself, understand?" ”

The male mage, or Bill's countenance, was stunned for a moment, but he nodded immediately, then stopped speaking and retreated silently to his companion's side.

"You need not be afraid, Mr. Ernst, I know that the public does not have a good impression of the Legislative Committee, but in the vast majority of cases, we also need to strictly follow the rules and norms in the execution of our tasks...... In fact, everything we have done is not only to solve the problems that the Commission is currently facing, but also to ensure your safety, Mr. Ernst. ”

The female mage's voice was calm, but it did not allow others to question: "According to the preliminary examination, there is no obvious abnormality in the old Ernst mansion, then, on behalf of the Legal Committee, I would like to thank you for your cooperation." Bill, Barti, you can go back, I have some small questions that Mr. Ernst needs to answer. ”

The prestige of the female mage in front of her subordinates was very amazing, and the two stream level mages did not show any hesitation or doubt at all, and turned to leave the moment they heard the order, and soon, Xiuge heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

Silence returned to the old house.

Shuge didn't dare to say anything now, he stood still, like a mind-wandering student who had been picked up in class to answer questions alone when he was a child.

Finally, after the magic clock chime once more, the figure in front of the windowsill put down the stack of manuscript paper full of unspeakable characters, and she raised her head and slowly turned to Xiuge who was standing behind her, her face was as usual.

She waved her hand slightly, and a translucent blue palm phantom immediately appeared on the side of the chair, and the blue mage's hand deftly pushed it, sending it to Shuge's side.

"Sit, Mr. Ernst."

So Xiuge sat down very stiffly, knowing that he did not have the right to return to the absolute side now.

Sunlight is shining through the window, and in the past, this was the most comfortable time for Xiuge, and it was definitely a pleasure to start lazily working on words in the warm sunlight.

However, at this moment, he only felt that his hands and feet were cold.

Against the light, the young and delicate face of the female mage looked extremely dark, and she looked like a gorgeous demon coming out of the darkness.

"Shug Ernst, 20 years old, born in the Lost Territory of the Kingdom of Wattel during the Winter Festival of 2679 in the Carter calendar, the identity of his mother is unknown, and his father is confirmed to be Count Karen Ernst."

The face in the shadow threw out a long list of words about Shug's origins: "In 2694 Kartel Calendar, he became a second-class apprentice and miscellaneous servant at the Waterl Academy of Magic and Magic, and in 2696 he was expelled for failing to complete the annual magic audit, and in the winter of the same year, Count Karen Ernst personally ordered his illegitimate son to be sent to the city of Salem and divided the old Ernst family mansion as his residence. ”

"Mr. Ernst, am I accurate?"

Xiuge nodded: "Hmm...... Basically accurate. ”

"Oh? Essential? ”

The mage stepped forward and asked curiously, "So what part of these records is wrong?" ”
