When Haina returned from the basement of the tavern, she felt like she was almost full.

When she went down, she was actually very nervous and nervous. Haina always figured that there might be some traps, traps, or curses in the basement—maybe some kind of demon, or maybe you could see the synths in the jar.

But to her disappointment, she carefully explored for a long time, but found nothing.

Not even the bloody altar and severed limbs described in the novel. Except for a few places where there are traces of life, there is dust everywhere. The things that were most stocked were all sorts, bottles and barrels that she didn't recognize.

The double bed in the corner may be due to poor ventilation and no sunlight, damp and musty smell. She even felt a little sympathy for the demonic scholars—the quality of life was too poor.

The copy of "Alchemy Code Words" that Ivus asked for was easy for her to find.

It was a book that looked a lot like a textbook, about the thickness of a required course that could be taught for a semester. It is only about two fingers thick and one and a half palms long. It is different from textbooks in that it has a special dark red leather cover that feels like cowhide.

It's expensive at first glance.

At the very least...... Worth ten white coins, right?

Maybe more, but the price is enough to make people want to steal.

Eivas is too lacking in life experience - going out with something like this will definitely be remembered. Even a thief who is completely ignorant of the transcendent world and forbidden knowledge can easily judge the value of this book from its material.

And this evil sorceress must have cherished this book as well.

Because the book was placed on the desk at the head of the bed, and next to it was a wine glass filled with water—one of the few places in the basement that was free of dust.

Apparently the dangerous bald sorceress was in the book just now before they came.

Hasa did see a ritual arena in the open space in the basement. In order to make room, it is clear that the residents have also moved the barrels to the corner, or even stacked them vertically on top of each other, to make room for the open space, which is only about five steps in diameter.

Inside a ceremonial circle, ten names of unknown meaning are inscribed. There was also a strange geometric pattern drawn in the middle, and she could barely make out the meaning of the mark "moon".

And on the ceremonial ground, there was no blood or severed limbs.

All she saw was an empty swaddling cloth, lying quietly in the middle of the ring. Just in case, she didn't lift that piece of cloth.

But in order to prevent the ritual from running automatically, she still used the sword in her hand to cut off all the ritual lines and completely destroy the ritual field before daring to start the investigation.

This is also the way of dealing with things that are taught in school – if you see a ritual arranged by a believer who has transcended the path, don't go in and don't take out the contents of it. Start by using a blessed or cursed sharp object and lightly cut all the lines. For example, if you have a circle, you can cut it anywhere at will; If it's a triangle, cut it three times, and if it's a six-pointed star, cut it six times.

Haina remembered this knowledge clearly.

Because while learning this knowledge, she had the illusion of excitement that she was fighting a demon. She has carefully studied techniques against all kinds of illegal transcendents, and even techniques against demons.

But it wasn't until she was about to graduate that she learned from her colleagues...... In fact, more than ninety percent of the inspectors may not see a living demon in their lives. If they did, there was a good chance that they wouldn't have a chance to show off to others alive.

Because demons cannot manifest alone. When the summoner of the demon dies, the demon is repatriated.

This means that when a demon is spotted alone, the evil sorcerer who summoned it must be nearby—and most likely aware of himself. But he couldn't find the other party.

And when you really encounter such a strong enemy, you usually hand it over to those white gloves of the Inspectorate. It wasn't their turn to strike.

So Haina fell into a very aggrieved mood.

I have a lot of professional knowledge, but I don't really need it in my work.

In most cases, the work is a meaningless, hectic, and completely riskless job of checking taxes, checking various identifications, maintaining law and order, checking hygiene, safety hazards and contraband.

Even most of the time, the sword does not have to be drawn. Ordinary stupid thieves and thugs can freeze them in place with a single roar. And if you can't hold your throat, you have to at least have to come to the tactics of the personal sea - facing a strong enemy who cannot be defeated alone is a serious violation of the law, and you must be confined to it.

And when the sea of people is coming, the sword is even less needed. In this case, melee combat with gangsters is easy to make teammates unable to interfere. It's better to use a gun.

As a result, the discipline and tactics assessed at the time of entry are actually not used at all.

Haina was quite upset about this.

- I knew that the work of the Inspectorate was so boring, she might as well go to the army and be an air cavalryman!

Her current griffin has been gone for two months, and she still hasn't seen a single bird feather!

Originally, Haina was still dreaming that when her equipment and griffons arrived, she would ride her griffon, wearing armor and a sword, to show off at school. It must be handsome, his classmates and juniors will definitely come over to watch his heroic appearance, and the teachers will definitely use themselves as an example to teach those juniors-

…… But now it seems that I may not be able to touch my griffin before I graduate.

Haina coughed and pushed the door open with her left elbow. Her right hand fluttered lightly in front of her, and her left hand carefully held the book like a plate with a teacup.

She saw Ivas sitting in his wheelchair safely and obediently, as if he was afraid of the smell of corpses, far away from the horrible corpse.

"Do you think it's fishy?"

Haina asked casually, then came over and handed the book to Ehuas: "Hide it...... The Lloyd's inspector will come in a moment, but don't let him see it. ”

As she passed by the corpse, the strong smell of blood in the air suddenly came up, making her cough even worse.

"That's it, thank you, senior sister!"

Ivas happily took the book and responded sweetly.

The corners of Haina's mouth rose slightly. She loved the feeling of being needed.

She hadn't felt it when she was fighting before, but now that she was idle, her gaze couldn't stop drifting to the corpse. And the smell was getting stronger and stronger, and she was choking more and more uncomfortable.

Finally, Haina couldn't help it. She pulled a white cloth from the table next to her and placed it over the top half of Hayna's body.

"If you feel uncomfortable, why don't you cover it?"

"Because I thought I needed to protect the ...... of the site"

Ivas said with some hesitation: "If you cover the cloth, won't you destroy the evidence on the corpse?" ”

"What?"

Haina was stunned for a moment.

She glanced back at the corpse, and instinctively felt as if it made sense.

…… But why isn't this taught in schools?

didn't think of the reason for a while, so she turned her head and said stiffly: "Because you don't have to worry about any clues." We all know that she was shot by you...... Is there anything else to be investigated here? I can see it clearly. I am a witness myself, and I don't need any other evidence.

"Of course, it's not your problem. Your act of firing is a heroic act of righteousness, and I will make this clear to the Inspectorate. ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh - Ivas is really a good boy who is well-behaved and polite.

- It's completely different from yourself.

Haina sighed wistfully.

So, she decided to confess anyway.

She hesitated and said, "Mr. Eivas." ”

"What?" Ivus was stunned for a moment.

"There's one thing I want to apologize to you......"

"No, no, senior sister doesn't have to be so polite...... Aren't we friends? ”

"That's why I'm going to say it."

Haina looked ashamed: "When I was looking for your book below, I couldn't help but turn a few pages. ”

- Actually, it was her fear that there wouldn't be any curse or poison in the book.

She felt physically strong and decided to give it a try.

But there is no need to say such things. Because it sounds too much like an excuse, it's better to admit that you want to see it.

…… Because she actually really wants to see it.

If it had been Hayna before today, she would not have accepted the temptation of such a crooked path. But on the way here, after listening to Eivas's words, she suddenly felt that she had been too old-fashioned before.

I want to be a "superior", which is the idea of transcendence; I think Iwass is handsome, elegant, gentle and cultured, which is influenced by the way of "beauty" or "love".

In the same way, after reading this book, I became curious...... That is to be infected by the way of [balance] and [wisdom].

The way of equilibrium represents knowledge and science, and is the path of understanding the world on an equal footing; The essence of the way of wisdom is related to mystery, reason, and the pursuit of truth. It's all normal, it's part of being a normal person.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

What really deserves to apologize is that she touched other people's things and read other people's books without permission.

And what made her feel ashamed was ...... She had to admit that there was something appealing about the stuff in the book.

She only turned a few pages, and she was immersed in the mysterious and surprising world, which opened her eyes.

Haina was down there for fifteen minutes, more than ten of them reading the book. But she could only turn it over in a hurry, and she felt that she had to go out and see it...... Otherwise, Ivas would have been scared to be alone with the corpse.

And after all, this is a Lloyd's area with poor security.

What if gangsters come out there at this time?

Ivus was too weak to protect herself. As soon as he shot him, he might have accidentally killed someone.

Killing a demon scholar is not a thing, and it will even be rewarded; But if you kill a civilian, you may go to jail.

And what if there were a little more people? He should be running out of bullets, and he may not dare to shoot, or his weapon will be taken away......

Thinking so, Haina ran up to look at it very worriedly. It was found that Ivas was safe and sound.

Then she was a little itchy again.

The previous round couldn't quench her thirst at all, but it made her more curious.

"I'm a little curious."

Taking a deep breath, Haina frankly admitted her desire: "I still want to see...... That book.

"After that, can I go to your house and see it?"

"But the senior sister, as an inspector, came to our house when she had nothing to do...... Isn't that an impact? ”

Ai Huasi politely refused: "In this way, whether it is for my father or for you, I will have some gossip." You know, there are some inspectors who take money from businessmen and do things that are clearly biased - I mean, even if you don't do it, you can't refute it when you're told that. Because what you're really doing can't be explained. ”

“…… Truly. ”

Haina nodded dejectedly: "You're right. ”

"But," Ivas said, "Senior Sister saved me and helped me get revenge." Helped me find this book again - I am very reasonable, and I have to thank my senior sister for her help.

"So if you want to read this book, you can ask me out regularly in your spare time. You should know, that kind of space is more private? Or if it doesn't work, I can bring it to school. There will always be this kind of local school. ”

Ivas squinted his eyes and showed a kind and gentle smile, like a cunning fox, "There will be some tiring places in your usual work, right?" If there is anything worth complaining about, or if something has happened to the Supervision Bureau recently, you can also tell me about it at that time. ”

Is she actually interested in alchemy......

Ivus's heart moved. Knowing her personal preferences, things became easier. Haina could easily be his anchor and eyeliner in the Inspectorate.

…… It's really hard to learn well, and it's a bad one.

Senior Sister Haina, who was originally upright and righteous, was tempted by herself so easily at the moment when her firm faith in her heart was shaken.

I don't know who the devil is.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ivas feels like he's a lot more professional than a shadow demon if he's a demon.

When Haina heard this, she was extremely grateful.

She respected Ivus's generosity and the gentleness with which she put herself in others' shoes, and couldn't help but use honorifics to her junior: "Thank you, Mr. Evas! It's just that...... Won't that be too much of a hassle for you? ”

Ivus just smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's not troublesome." This is called taking what you need.

"After all, I'm curious about the day-to-day work of the Inspectorate."
