The hustle and bustle of the night gradually dissipated, and the market south of Silvermoon Fort fell silent again.

Lawson lay in his room at the Hound House and didn't sleep for a long time.

His eyes were closed, but a three-dimensional image of the Thrandis hut was playing in his vision.

The so-called 'ironclad evidence' found in the house was naturally secretly put in by others.

Because of the special smell of Marboli embalming liquid, if it is filled in the room, it is impossible for Lawson not to smell it.

Because of the existence of the Home Protection Technique, the time for the real murderer to be placed is also fixed.

It will only be tonight, and just after Thrandis is out of the house.

The time is very short, and even if the blamer is extremely skilled, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no traces.

So, he observes over and over again, from all angles.

Every piece of evidence on the floor, every inch of wood in the room, was not spared.

The angle of view is magnified to the extreme, and if possible, he would even like to see the germs directly on the surface of the object.

When Rosen pulled his perspective to the window between the wooden bed and the cubicle on the second floor, his eyes froze.

In the gap between the window, there is a small black stain, which is the most common damp black mud in the market.

It can be seen that the stains have been specially wiped, but because of the concave and convex structure of the window edge, there are still many dead corners that have not been wiped clean.

His heart moved: "Could it be that the mentor himself left it?" ”

But soon, more details emerged.

"It's a footprint, and although it's been rubbed, I can vaguely tell the size of the shoe.

"Although I can't judge exactly, I can be sure that it is definitely at least 1 size bigger than the mentor's shoes!"

No one knew Thrandis's stature better than Rosen.

He knew the location of every mole on the other person's body, let alone the most obvious information about the size of the shoe.

Although Thrandis was tall, her thighs were plump and her calves were slender, and her feet were one size smaller than those of women of the same height.

Therefore, this trace is enough to show that there are indeed intruders in the wooden house!

Rosen was in high spirits and became more and more focused on finding traces.

A few minutes later, I saw a very inconspicuous fingerprint on the wooden frame by the window, and there were inconspicuous wipe marks on the glass next to it.

Through this fingerprint, one can imagine the state of the murderer at that time.

She reached for the window, her thumb on the wooden pane, her four fingers touching the glass.

The fingerprints on the glass were so striking that she carefully wiped them, but the fingerprints on the surface of the wood were difficult to detect, so they were retained.

Rosen immediately took this fingerprint and carefully compared it with the fingerprint on the outside of the glass jar.

The results showed that this did not match the fingerprints on the outer wall of the glass jar

In other words, the fingerprints outside the window were not left by the guards, and most likely belonged to the mysterious intruder.

He thought again.

"In a short period of time, so many bottles full of embalming liquid and a complete set of embalming tools were put into the wooden house, and there were no fingerprints left on the bottles, only the hands of the mage could do it."

"So, the one who blames him is a mage."

"But there is a limit to a mage's ability, and it is difficult to maintain a smooth flight while maintaining the hands of multiple mages. So I had to pull open the window with my hand and put one foot on the windowsill to keep my body balanced. ”

But this clue was not enough, and Rosen continued to search.

It has to be said that this intruder was really very cautious, leaving no other traces except for fingerprints and a few spots of sludge.

But Rosen was not discouraged at all, but uplifted.

"Now, I have the fingerprints of the intruder's shoe size and thumb, and I know that the other party can spell. So, where do you start next? ”

He pondered and pondered.

Such a clever blame shows that this person knows a lot about the life of the teacher.

According to Rasprain, in the past two years, the mentor has been living in seclusion and has little contact with the outside world.

That said, the mentor's social circle is very narrow.

Just find someone who has recently been in contact with a mentor and they could be the culprits.

"So, are there any key suspects?"

There really is.

He continued to ponder what had happened tonight, focusing on the three of them.

One is Mr. Lévier. The second is the bounty hunter Olek. The third is Veronica, a mid-level battle mage.

Monsieur Lévière is the least suspicious, this man knows at a glance that he is a hero in words, he is powerful in words, but he is not brave in action.

The other two are very suspicious.

They are about the same height and size as their mentors, and they can use disguise to make trouble.

And he also knows spells, and has been wandering around the Seongnam Market recently.

Rosen opened the adventure log again, called up the images related to the two one by one, and analyzed them carefully.

First Olek.

This guy is unfathomable, and the whole process is a light and breezy expression, as if he is a spectator.

Plus a series of quirky performances from before.

Rosen felt that if this guy was a murderer, his rank must be very high.

And then Veronica.

When Shapole said that Veronica's magical achievements were inferior to those of the Mentor, a faint haze appeared on the mid-level mage's face

'Hmm~ This woman is really jealous of the teacher! ’

In this way, she is also suspicious.

He currently knew the approximate size of the murderer's shoes, and it was easy to find the footprints of the two on the ground that had become very wet after the snow, and he compared them one by one.

The results were disappointing.

Both of these had footprints larger than those of the guru.

As for fingerprints, it was too dark to see outside, so you had to find an opportunity to observe them.

So far, all the clues that can be found at hand have been used, and if you want to go further, you will have to investigate more deeply.

"But if I go deeper, I'll be in great danger."

"Whether it is Veronica or Olek, or other hidden murderers, they are far stronger than me, and it is easy to kill me in seconds."

"Maybe you can go with Chapole...... No, Uncle and Olek are too close, they are still big mouths, and they are easy to startle snakes. ”

"So, do you want to go deeper?"

The opponent is too strong, greatly beyond the limits of his ability, and if he is desperate, he is easy to die.

He couldn't help but think.

"Since the mentor made me believe in her innocence, it means that she has not given up on me."

"So, if she finds out I'm investigating, will she let me into such danger?"

"No, she definitely won't, and she will secretly protect me and let me investigate smoothly."

Therefore, if he investigates deeply, there is a high probability that the mentor will quietly block an enemy that is too strong for him.

If the enemy is so strong that even the Mentor can't deal with it...... That is probably the end of the death of both master and apprentice.

Rosen thought to himself, "Hey, it's nice to be able to go to Huangquan with the beautiful woman."

So, he made up his mind completely.

'I'll check early tomorrow morning, and try my best to find out!' ’

The next day, he still didn't sleep.

"If you think of it as a test, you will get results. The better my grades, the more my mentor values me and the more likely I am to impart valuable knowledge. ”

"The most perfect result is naturally to directly clear the suspicion of the mentor and return her innocence."

So, he has to work hard to improve his abilities.

'My opponent may be a mage, a samurai, or more likely an assassin who hides in the dark and is good at sneak attacks. ’

'There are spells, swords, serpent-like daggers, and even cold arrows in the shadows! ’

After careful consideration, Rosen found that he had a major shortcoming.

'I'm defenseless against a physical attack like a cold arrow, and a child can hurt me with a slingshot. ’

Sellers had a similar shortcoming, but he shot it with glass beads.

You have to think of a reliable way, otherwise, it will be hilarious if you are in a desperate situation as soon as you check it out, forcing the mentor to take the risk of showing up to rescue you.

So, how to intercept the secret cold arrow?

Soon, Rosen had an initial idea for a defensive spell.

He immediately entered the virtual machine and opened the spell rule library.

After a few glances, my eyes lit up.

"Weak spell constant structure, mafka trigger...... Aha, the mentor gave me the development tools early! ”

Without delay, immediately start experimenting with new spells in the virtual machine.

The experiment took two hours.

Two hours later, at 3 a.m., a stream of information flashed through Rosen's mind.

"New Spell: Resistance Field has been included in the Book of Spells."

Open the spell book to view.

Resist the force field

Type: Trigger-type Extraordinary Logic Four-Star Spell.

Ability Power: 8.9 (Lower-Tier-Upper)

Spell Introduction: The spell will form a spell film on the surface of the caster's body, and when the intensity of the external blow exceeds the preset limit, a powerful force field that can last up to five seconds can be activated within one hundredth of a second, giving an extremely powerful reverse kinetic energy to the invading object.

The effect lasts for half an hour after being released, and can be triggered three times in total.

Extreme cast time: 1 second.

Mana Cost: Variable

(Note: Spell cost is determined based on the amount of invading material given Kinetic Energy.) ）

With this spell, Lawson's biggest combat shortcoming was partially compensated.

But although there are spells, but the mana is weak, and the specific extent to which it can be achieved depends on luck.

"Do your best."

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and he couldn't sleep for a while, so Lawson simply began to meditate.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths, four breaths.

I don't know why, the limit of meditation tonight has never arrived.

Just when Rosen was in doubt, the power that had been sprouting in his heart these days suddenly broke through the ground!

At this moment, the hazy red light in the sea of consciousness dissipated without a trace, turning into a yellow light as transparent as glass.

After another moment, the stars in the sea of consciousness shone brightly, and each one became very bright, and the grains were distinct, like peerless pearls.

Even if the light of the yellow sun still enveloped the entire sea of stars, it could no longer obscure the light of the stars.

Several streams of information flashed through my mind.

"Mana has been successfully promoted to the lower rank!"

"+150% mana total."

"Gain +40% strength."

"+20% polarity."

"+100% mana regeneration speed."

The realm has broken through, and the strength has skyrocketed!

Rosen slowly opened his eyes, and a faint joy flashed in his heart.

"It turns out that this is a really clear visualization image~ It's good!"
