A subtle atmosphere began to spread through the city of Seren.

Silenced soldiers in the uniforms of the Seryn City Guards but with very different temperaments patrol and search the main roads with weapons and hounds, and in the area north of the clock tower in the center of Salem, you can see some Judicial Mages who follow the Tricolor Brotherhood thieves.

These mages held magic books and hung all kinds of magic pendulums, constantly searching for traces of magic left in the air, and it was difficult for them to escape their perception at the slightest disturbance.

Everyone knew that something must be going on in the city, and some well-wishers tried to inquire but could not get any results, and the police even used this as an excuse to arrest several suspicious-looking people, but after a beating, they finally confirmed that these guys were just a bunch of hooligans who were idle and bored at home.

The city's inhabitants were a little uneasy in the midst of such a situation, they had not experienced such an atmosphere for a long time, so that most families chose to hide in their homes on this night, and the children were confined to their rooms.

However, there are two types of people, no matter when and where, they have to go out to spend.

One is that you can't live without drinking.

The second is ......

In short, these people can't survive the night without this entertainment, so even with such a tense atmosphere in the city, Ladies Street and Splash Street still maintain a certain degree of "bustle".

"Tsk......"

Xiuge felt the tremor of the table in front of him, and couldn't help but smack his mouth.

Even though Verin had set up a magical ritual to isolate sound, he could still clearly perceive what was happening in the next room, after all, the room was a bit old, and the slightest movement could be perfectly transmitted to his neighbors.

This is the junction of Ladies Street and Splash Street, and most of the buildings are old three-storey houses, which have long since been converted into apartments, and those renovators simply divide each floor of these old houses into rooms of different sizes with wooden planks or masonry, and then rent them out to people who make a living on these two streets, for long or short terms, the rent is uncertain, and the environment of the rooms is completely up to luck......

Similar complexes exist in every city, after all, such houses are a rare place to stay for those who can only meet even the most basic requirements of life.

In short, under these buildings, the most common thing to see is those small traders who sell earplugs, living in this kind of place, without earplugs, it is basically impossible to sleep normally, after all, there are always people who are working and consuming seriously day and night, and the sound and movement made by ordinary people are simply unbearable.

However, there is an upside to the fact that such a place is so chaotic that even the most dedicated police officers and detectives are reluctant to set foot in the area.

Naturally, no one will register the personal files of the tenants, and the owners of the houses generally only collect money and check the rooms regularly, and they do not care who lives in their rooms or what they are used for during this period, and some people even expect the tenants to accidentally destroy the cheap rooms they provide in order to swallow their deposits.

Xiuge and Weilin naturally have no financial problems now, what they need most is low-key and seclusion, and this residential area perfectly meets their requirements, but Xiuge's original body had lived here for a few days for materials when he first arrived in Seren City, so he relied on his memory to find an old woman who lived by renting a house, and rented a room that was okay.

Of course, the so-called okay means that there is enough space for two people to rest and not have to endure the horrible public toilets outside, and in normal times, this continuous noise and vibration alone is enough to make people crazy.

A faint fluctuation of magic power came, Xiuge turned his head to look, only to see a mage's hand suddenly appear behind the wooden door, flexibly unlocking the door, and then the door was pushed open, and a figure tightly wrapped in a long black trench coat walked in.

The moment the door opened, the indescribable sounds that had been kept out by magic rushed in, but fortunately Wei Lin was fast enough, she slammed the door hard, and the magic ritual field came into play again, so that all the disturbing and terrible sounds disappeared again, leaving only the bed, table, chair and other furniture in the room still vibrating.

"I cast a disturbing spell on the old woman, and she won't come to her senses for a few days...... Even if someone pressed her, she would tell others that we were her younger relatives. ”

Hearing this, Xiuge couldn't help frowning: "Miss Wei Lin, with all due respect, such a technique is very unsafe, and any experienced interrogator will hear the question. ”

The female mage's gaze instantly flicked over: "Great writer, this should be your field of expertise, right?" Then I'll take care of you to put together a proper set of words, so that I can know what to do. ”

Shuge nodded calmly, he stretched out his hand, and asked Wei Lin for her magic pen with confidence, and then said, "Of course, but in order to minimize the risk, this plan I have provided may be offensive to you...... But don't worry, Miss Vilin, I can also make some changes based on your comments. ”

After saying this, Xiuge buried his head in front of the table, and the magic pen in his hand began to write quickly, the tip of the magic pen kept touching the paper, and the slight friction sound was quite pleasant.

Past work experience and the writing instinct buried in this body were stacked, and soon Shug finished the task at hand and handed a piece of manuscript paper full of words to Verin.

After doing this, Shug dragged his chair and sat a little farther away, and then he saw that Wei Lin's expression began to change little by little.

From calm to confused, from confused to irritated, and finally even a little distorted.

"Mr. Shogg!! That's your solution? ”

At this moment, Verine Ernst was like the programmers that Xiuge had met in her previous life who had been successfully angered by the planners, she shook the manuscript paper in her hand vigorously, and her eyebrows became as sharp as the long swords of the iris guards.

Xiuge, who had expected it, shrank slightly in the direction of the wall, then raised his hands and said slowly, "I have already said it before, Miss Verin...... In the current situation, this is the most reasonable and feasible approach in my opinion, and we can discuss the details and the assignment of identities. ”

“……”

Wei Lin gritted her teeth, she finally resisted the urge to use magic to pinch the young man's head in front of her, and after using magic to soothe her emotions, she lowered her head with a straight face, and once again carefully read the contents of the manuscript paper.

……

Mrs. Wendy, the landlord, who is nearly seventy years old, is being questioned by two police officers on the side of the street, and as an old man who has been in the city of Salem for many years, she vividly shows her scoundrel and impatience in front of these two young police officers.

"Hah, two young gentlemen...... You want to come here to find fugitives? Or two mages? ”

A bitter smile appeared on Mrs. Wendy's thin face: "Come on, come on, you two take a serious look, tell me, what kind of mage can hide in such a place?" ”

She pointed to a room high up where the windows were not closed, so that an imaginary sound floated through the crack in the window, causing the two young officers to blush.

Indeed, they also felt that the task assigned from above was too outrageous, and that it was absolutely impossible for a female mage of the Legislature to stay in such a place, especially since they had met the Miss Verine Ernst before, and everyone knew that this was a haughty, confident, and beautiful young scholar, and they could not in any way relate the place in front of them to the place full of flesh and skin transactions with the impression of Verin.

"Mrs. Wendy, I know what you say is true, but we have to check ......"

"There is no register! How many times have I said that no one will register their guests here! Young man, do we officials of the city of Salem care so much about how many customers and nightingales come and go in these houses in a day! ”

The old lady's tantrum was similar to that of the swamp witches, but the slightly older officer still insisted, "Mrs. Wendy, if you don't cooperate with us, then I'm afraid someone from the Law Committee will come and talk to you next...... It doesn't matter if you don't have a register, you just have to tell me who has recently moved into your house! ”

"Whoa! Who else could there be? ”

Mrs. Wendy seemed to be asked about the sore spot, and she cursed: "It's not my damn nephew, a lazy pervert, who has a crush on a young girl in Splash Street, and brings it here every day, bastard...... Even the guests next door can't take it anymore! ”

While he was talking, someone walked out of the building, and the officers turned their heads to look, but they saw that it was a young man with tan hair with a yellow face and black circles, his steps were vain, but there was a smile on his face, and next to him there was a girl with dyed red hair, she looked a little shy, her palm grabbed the young man's arm hard, and her eyes kept staring at the ground.

"Auntie, what you said is too ugly."

The young man apparently heard Mrs. Wendy's curse, and he argued, "It's not like that at all, I still think they're arguing." ”

Wendy scolded two more words, and then she glared and asked, "It's so messy outside today, why do you still have to go out!" ”

"There's a new bard on Splash Street, and it's said to be ......"

"Get out!"

The old lady pointed angrily to the street and chased away her perverted nephew in front of two police officers.

Seeing this scene, the two police officers looked at each other, then each shook their shoulders, checked the simple magic road pendulum distributed to them by their superiors, and after finding that there was indeed no trace of magic power around them, they sighed and walked to their next target.

"Miss Vilin, I thought your magic had gone wrong."

"I can't make a mistake, it can only be you!"

Wei Lin's mood was extremely bad at the moment, but she also had to admit that Xiuge's plan was indeed successful, which made Wei Lin, who had always relied entirely on magic to solve problems, a little frustrated, and of course, what made her even more uncomfortable was the disguised state that the two of them had to maintain now.

Shuge was very able to understand Wei Lin's emotions at the moment, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then asked in a low voice, "So, Miss Wei Lin, can you tell me now why we are going out at such a time?" ”

"I need to go back to the Legislative Affairs Commission's premises."

Hearing Wei Lin's words, Xiu Ge almost stopped his movements, in his opinion, the current Salem City is full of dangerous traps, and the two most terrifying places are Iris Street, where the embassy of the Deland Kingdom is located, and the Judicial Committee's station in Salem City, the former has completely revealed its hostility towards the two of them, once those iris guards appear, even if Wei Lin is a lake-level mage, I am afraid that she will only have to wait for death.

As for the location of the Legislative Commission......

Xiuge really didn't want to use his nascent magic skills to contend with those professional law committee enforcers, and in front of those well-equipped and experienced mages, any trace of magic that he exposed was very likely to trigger their pursuit.

As an unregistered wild mage, he deserved to be executed in the street by the law enforcers, and when the time came, a group of drunken fungi would even run out and applaud his corpse.

However, Wei Lin's palms were clenched tightly, and the magically disguised female mage had her head down, unable to read her expression.

"Well, ma'am...... What are you going to do back to the Legislative Commission? ”

"I need some refined crystalline ores, without them, there is no way for my mana to be replenished quickly, and sooner or later I will pass out due to the depletion of mana."

Wei Lin whispered, "Also, I need to find a record in the station, a detailed record of the recent movement of personnel and materials, and with it, I may be able to determine what is really going on between the Kingdom of Teresa and the Law Council." ”

She sighed and looked up at the sparse pedestrians on the street and the patrol figure flashing at the end of the street: "Mr. Shugg, at first I thought it was a mutiny in the Law Council branch in Salem, but it turns out that this is not the case...... Now it seems that I am probably the one who is considered a traitor. ”

"So you're going to start with the Law Council and find out the purpose of their actions in Salem?"

"It's not me, it's us."

Wei Lin mercilessly crushed Xiuge's attempt to fish, and she said coldly: "It must be a big deal to be able to make the Law Committee abandon the principle of neutrality on the surface and completely turn to one side...... I need your help. ”
