Chapter 33: A Dialogue Driven Plot (Part I)

"That's good. The sorceress who learned that she hadn't hurt Xavier breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her apprentice next to her and said, "Look, didn't she hurt anyone?"

"It's just that he's lucky. The girl stuck out her tongue at Josephine, "I suggest you, master, that the entire floor be completely sealed off next time, so that no idlers will come in." ”

"Good idea. ”

From their conversation, Xavier could hear that this master-apprentice relationship did not have much seriousness, but more of a harmonious relationship, the so-called relationship between teacher and friend.

At the beginning, his relationship with Sir Liszt was actually similar, at least in the process of being beaten, Xavier learned a lot of the key points of the 'sword dance', so Xavier has always regarded the captain as one of his teachers, not exactly a master, just like a senior brother who teaches you knowledge-

If he worships that demon hunter and viscount as his master, then he is really a senior brother.

In the midst of his thoughts, Xavier's thoughts fluctuated by the sound in front of him, because in the next moment, he saw that the huge room that had been blown into ruins by the fireball had recovered in a second, and turned into a normal study with many bookshelves, which made him suddenly feel like he had been a fantasy before.

It was as if there was no experiment with the fireball exploding, Xavier was just walking into the room as usual to visit the famous seventh-level sorceress and Count of the Empire.

Or rather, it was like a teleportation, he and the two magicians teleported to a new room together when he opened his eyes, and if it weren't for the fact that the corridor behind him was still unchanged, Xavier would probably think that this was the truth of the matter.

In any case, Xavier has seen a lot of things about changing his three views today, and it doesn't seem to be an unacceptable thing to change the appearance of the room in a second.

But it's too hard to imagine.

However, the two masters and apprentices behaved very naturally, maybe they took it for granted, but Xavier, the hillbilly, was making a fuss, and the seventh-level female magician Josephine opened her eyes slightly, sat on the intact chair, and let her apprentice sit next to her, while pointing to the opposite seat, and said

"Sit down, boy. ”

Like Reiner, Xavier couldn't help but sit down at this time, moving lightly and sitting opposite the pair of master and apprentice.

"First of all, once again, I didn't think that there would be anyone from the Non-Magical Association who would visit me, and although you are not injured, I still have to apologize. Josephine said as he looked at the black-haired swordsman who had already sat down.

At the same time, the girl next to her brought three cups of black tea out of nowhere and placed them in front of everyone, which made Xavier quickly thank you and respond

"It's okay, I'm not hurt. ”

Even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, he couldn't blame this seventh-level female magician, right? What's more, he didn't have any resentment at the moment, after all, he was an earl! In terms of status, he was much higher than him, the former captain of the detachment, but he could treat himself so plainly and fairly, he had nothing to complain about.

"Thank you for your understanding. Count Josephine nodded, and smiled, "By the way, young man, I think you already know who I am, right?" ”

"I'm Josephine Rostaci de Boarne" After omitting about a hundred words, the seventh-level female magician roughly said her title and position, and then pointed to the girl next to her, that is, her apprentice

"As for her, it's Alice Depp. ”

"Hello. The girl smiled at Xavier.

After listening to the self-introduction of others, Xavier naturally had to go back, and at the same time expressed the purpose of his arrival - he said that he was sent by Captain Andrew.

In an instant, the seventh-level magician seemed to have thought of something, and showed an incredulous expression, "You are the boy in the square?"

Yes, I was almost killed by you, Xavier complained in his heart, but he replied, "Exactly." ”

"So Andrew asked you to ask if there is any information about that assassin" With Josephine's identity, she could naturally call the special forces captain by his name directly, and after thinking for a while, she responded, "Well, I do have some ideas and information here, but can you share the information on their side with me first?"

Xavier recounted what he had discussed with Andrew at the police station, and added the information given to him by the Lamp God, saying that it was given to him by Andrew, and the sorceress couldn't help frowning.

"Is the intelligence of the special forces already so terrifying? even who of us knows how to teleport" The sorceress was undoubtedly a little dissatisfied, but instead of sending this dissatisfaction to Xavier, she sorted out her words.

According to the information of the lamp god, the assassin used the seventh-level wind magic space teleportation, and there were only two relatively young people in the magic association who knew this magic, and if the assassin was really one of them, this female magician should know something.

But Josephine only shook her head after the silence, denying this possibility, "Thomas and Frank, the two young magicians who teleported in space, both had perfect alibis, because they were in a meeting with me at the time. ”

"As for the rest of the magicians who know how to do this, they are already a certain age, and if what you just said is correct, then they are simply not old enough to have such a fierce battle with you. ”

"In other words, there is a high probability that this assassin is not a member of the Magical Society. ”

"That's going to be difficult," Xavier sighed, he and Captain Andrew had thought that the identity of the Cloaked Assassin Wizard would help them find his traces more smoothly, but hearing Count Josephine say this, he was not a member of the Guild at all, which was much more difficult.

"Still. Seeing Xavier's sad face, Josephine added, "That doesn't mean we're helpless, as I said earlier, I've got a little bit of an idea." ”

Immediately, under Xavier's expectant gaze, she said slowly, "People who can use that kind of magic, even if they are not from the association, must have left traces in the wizarding world." ”

This is a very simple reason, after all, the seventh-level wind magic is not something that can be used by any random person, if the assassin can use it, it means that he is sure, or he used to be a big man.
