"Hello, Mr. Wayne, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Hank, dressed in light armor and with a sword at his waist, greeted Colin with knightly etiquette.

Colin returned the salute with the habit of a magician: "Hello, Captain Hank. ”

After Berkeley Payne had ushered them into their seats, he took his leave, leaving only a Rebecca to bring tea and water.

"I was supposed to come to visit earlier, but because of His Majesty's sixty-fifth birthday ceremony, the Public Security Department is understaffed and too busy to get out, please forgive me."

When the tall Hank sat down, the sword at his waist touched the ground, and Colin noticed that his two boots contained daggers and other short weapons.

This habit of being heavily armed reminded him of the Glenn Knight in the Mage Tower.

It's just that the Glenn knight is more natural and casual in terms of action and demeanor, and the captain Hank in front of him obviously has a military temperament, which should be from the army - Tulum's kingdom army can fight back and forth with the army of the Oshik Empire, and it is by no means comparable to the ordinary aristocratic private army.

Colin remembered that he still had to go to his senior sister, so he didn't waste time, and after a few simple polite sentences, he asked:

"Captain Hank, I don't know how I can help you?"

In Colin's concept, since President Payne took the lead, he probably had already established a cooperative relationship with the Sheriff's Department.

However, Hank said: "It is indeed rude to rush over and ask for help without formally signing a commission contract, but because the situation is urgent, please understand Mr. Wayne." ”

Colin pretended to understand, "It's okay, please speak." ”

"Actually, the matter is very simple, when we were investigating a case, we got a key clue, it was a strange magic pattern, we asked all the magicians who could ask, but they all said that they couldn't understand the purpose of this magic pattern, so we finally thought of you."

"Can you show me?"

"We've printed the magic pattern in its entirety."

As Hank spoke, he asked a female subordinate to pull out a plank.

Colin glanced at two of Hank's subordinates.

One man and one woman.

The appearance is ordinary, and he wears the same standard soft armor as Hank, but the difference is in the chest and shoulders, which is probably a sign of class.

After Colin saw it, the only feeling was that the women's soft armor was quite sexy.

He took the plank handed by Hank, looked at it for a moment, and said with a little doubt:

"This kind of frame with a square inside and a circle on the outside is a typical earth-based magic pattern, didn't you ask Lord Payne just now?"

According to Hank, they remembered themselves because the situation was urgent and they couldn't find anyone who could help.

But the problem is that it is clear that Berkeley Payne was by their side just now, and the strength of the president, who is not inferior to that of ordinary mages, is precisely a famous earth archmage.

Why go the extra mile?

I saw Hank quite embarrassed: "Actually, we have consulted His Excellency Payne, but he can only help us analyze that this magic pattern has a vibration function, and said some questions about the polarization period and frequency, but you know, we are all knights, although because of the relationship between the profession, we are often in contact with some magic cases, and we can understand some knowledge of magic patterns, but this kind of too professional content is really beyond our understanding."

"In fact, what we want to know more is the specific function of this magic pattern, but Lord Payne also said that it is impossible to completely analyze the properties of the entire magic pattern in a short period of time."

Colin wasn't surprised that Berkeley Payne couldn't resolve the pattern.

After all, the study of magic patterns is too complex and profound, and an apprentice can easily extract a magic pattern from a cold book, and there is a high probability that he will stump a high-level magician.

Because it's always easier to ask a question than to solve it.

Even a magus can't know all the knowledge of magic patterns, even if it's a good one.

However, Hank's explanation still does not satisfy Colin's doubts.

Since even Lord Payne can't do anything, why do you think I can solve it?

After the initial examination, Colin Vane did have a reputation, and no one doubted Roman Sagan's vision, and many believed that he could inherit the mantle of "Storm Guidance". However, that was a long time later, and for now, no one, including Colin himself, would believe that he could be compared to the famous "Wheel of Stones".

Soon, though, Colin figured it out.

Then I couldn't help but laugh.

I may have been so smooth that I was a little overconfident.

People obviously don't really think that they can help, it's just that because of the status of Roman Sagan's disciple, Hank and the others have more hope.

Obviously, the other party's ultimate goal is to go back and ask the teacher Roman Sagan for advice when he can't solve the problem.

After all, the latter is simply not accessible as Hank.

Thinking of this, Colin was instantly relieved.

He picked up the plank and began to examine it carefully.

If this magic pattern is really interesting, it is not impossible to ask the teacher about it.

However, it didn't take long for him to almost burst out laughing.

Because the magic pattern in front of him was very familiar to him, it was one of a series of combined magic patterns that he had seen in the teacher's magic notes.

To put it bluntly, this magic pattern was created by Roman Sagan.

Although there are some changes in the details, the basic principle and function will not change.

Colin raised his head, and before he could speak, Hank said intimately:

"Mr. Wayne, if you need time to derive and calculate, we can come back tomorrow."

"No need."

Colin laid the plank flat on the coffee table between the two sides, pointed to the magic pattern on it, and said:

"This is called the 'Wind Energy Polarization Pattern', and as Lord Payne said, its function is to vibrate, but compared to the ordinary Vibration Pattern, it has a property."

"What features?" Hank asked.

Colin didn't answer immediately, and asked, "Captain Hank, before I tell you the answer, can you ask a little more about where you saw this magic pattern?" ”

Generally speaking, the sheriff's magic consultant doesn't need to know anything about the case itself, and just answers the magic questions that people ask.

But since it involved the teacher, he had to ask cautiously.

Hank hesitated for a moment, then replied:

"In fact, even if I don't say it, you may know in two days that the homes of many powerful people in Thunder City have been burglarized, and the common feature of these cases is that the solid vault has been directly penetrated, at first we don't know what means can penetrate those several feet thick walls without alarming any guards, but in the latest case, we found this magic pattern next to the stolen vault, because it is the only clue, plus the urging of the owner, it is really impossible, so we came to you for help."
