Not noticing the solemnity of the atmosphere, Marissa continued, "...... Thanks to my hand, the evidence was hidden in a safe place before I was caught. There was a camouflage circle on it, and they couldn't find it. However, that magic is time-limited, and you have to retrieve it quickly...... Come ......"

As she spoke, she suddenly staggered and unsteady on her feet, and Pullman lunged over and grabbed her shoulder.

Marisa's clothes were soaked with sweat, and she was clearly enduring the severe pain, but the serious injuries did not heal. Pullman was so distressed that his eyebrows were twisted into a tuft, "Don't be reckless, little Martha, you have to continue to recuperate, and we will go and get the evidence." ”

Marissa gasped, shook her head, and said, "No, you straw bales don't know how to use magic at all, let alone disarm the illusion mechanism, and you won't even be able to see the box at that time." And on the enemy's territory, a large group of men with guns are looking everywhere, and the blind can see that something is wrong. There is no time left, you must get the evidence back before the bad guys! ……”

As one of the few magical talents in the rebel army, Marissa has fully proved her accurate intuition that does not match her age in countless missions. Although reluctant to accept it, the fighters all admit that she has a point. Time is running out, and once the evidence is found by the enemy first, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Although everyone was very worried, Marisa was finally unable to resist her, so she had to agree to go and return the evidence stored near the church herself.

Marissa thinks that too many people are not good, so she only lets Pullman stay with her, and the rest stay at the inn. At this time, the sun had already set in the east, and after the two of them dressed up in disguise, they took advantage of the cover of night to carefully leave the inn and come to the street. Passing through the block, bypassing the patrolling guards, I sneaked up near the clock tower.

Marissa hid the evidence under a nondescript corner masonry, in a surprising place, the key being the magical runes covering it. This is also to be on the safe side, one of the preparations that Marisa brought along from the West Hill Armory, using Defiya's spatial keystone technology, not just ordinary illusion traps. If there is no correct sealing stone and password, even if the average person steps directly on it, or even touches it, it will not be noticed. This is the reason why the nuns must have dug three feet into the ground these days, but never found them.

Because the siege battle outside the city had begun, most of the guards were sent to the front line to block the rebels, and the strength in the city instantly shrank a lot. The recovery process went well, the illusion was cleared, and after obtaining the evidence, Pullman suddenly became keenly aware of a dense sound of footsteps. Immediately picked up Marisa, the wind was blowing under her feet, and she silently climbed the wall and jumped onto one roof.

A short time later, a group of guards came in a line and stopped below. The two of them held their breath, only to see that after the soldiers had talked for a while, they took out a strange balance-shaped magic tool and began to measure it around.

They measured almost the entire street, and finally came to a spot on the other side of the road, and the balance of the scales was broken. The soldiers stopped and dug deep pits on the spot, not knowing what they were doing.

At first, Pullman thought that the soldiers had also come to look for evidence, but luckily they had arrived a step earlier. But then I saw some engineering mage-like men escorting the cart over, and asking the soldiers to carry out the heavy rune inscriptions from the cart and put them into the deep pit that had been dug; Only then did I realize that this was the weird project I had seen repeatedly in recent days.

Because they are far away, they can't hear what the other party is saying. Although these people are very suspicious and nocturnal, they don't know what they are doing; But now there is a more critical task, the evidence has been obtained, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and Pullman intends to ignore this and retreat first.

However, Marisa didn't plan to go, and her intuition told her that this sigil and project were not easy.

She saw something, pointed to a short-haired, scarred officer in the middle of the soldiers and said to Pullman, "I recognize this guy." When I disguised myself as a big-breasted correspondent and infiltrated the town hall to get information, he was the one who came with a large group of people to arrest me. I almost didn't escape, and in the end I had to burn the expensive illusion coat. ”

Pullman broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Little Martha, you've really been through a lot of danger. You should have listened to the helper early and withdrawn in time. ”

Marissa said disdainfully, "What's this!" That idiot was so caught up in my chain of explosions that he didn't recognize me in person, and I took the opportunity to stick a bug on his handmail. Oh yes, the Listening Crystal is here, I'll see if I can use it. ”

Pulling out the crystal ball, Marisa adjusted the signal. After a while, an intermittent sound came out;

“…… At the moment of the great enemy, the traitors are about to come in, why do we bury this iron in every place and not let people see it? ”

"Those technicians are idle, just pointing fingers, we have to do all the heavy work, and we have to dig pits in the middle of the night."

"What the hell is that woman, a nun, but there are so many engineering mages as subordinates, even the town chief obeys her."

"Hey, whatever, Mrs. Madam has been back to Alwin's maiden house for a long time, hasn't it? The bulldozer in the west, how can it be worthy of this well-known name if it does not plough three feet. ”

A slightly hoarse voice rang out, it was the Scar Officer's; "Don't talk to each other, the chief has given orders, and they have their own reasons. As soldiers, we should obey unconditionally, and we don't have to think about anything else. ”

Although Pullman is worried that he may be found if he stays any longer, Marissa insists on continuing to see what the hell these guys are up to.

After a while, it seemed that the sigil had been placed, and two engineering mages stepped forward and instructed the soldiers to complete the follow-up work;

"You can't be wrong with the coordinate point, the bearing, and the orientation!" “…… Next, the base of the pouring facility was poured, and did the mixer arrive? "The magic circle must be made in strict accordance with the formula, crystal crown, dragon horn, crystal nucleus, borax...... The ratio is 3:1:5:7, check again! "When pouring the array eye, the anchor points should be poured into the mortar in the shape of a water chestnut, and arranged in the shape of a funnel in turn, so you must not be mistaken!" ……

The project lasted nearly an hour, and the two mages, or engineering technicians, kept proofreading the steps and progress, directing the soldiers to work. The sound of various instruments and magic tools in operation constantly came from the eavesdropping crystal, mixed with the complaints of the soldiers.

Until the bugging device completely ran out of magic and the construction was finally completed. Under the orders of the engineering technicians, the soldiers covered the soil as it was, and the ground was as smooth as ever. When they were done, they headed for the next location.

Pullman watched for a while, making sure the other party was gone. There are at least ten squads going on at the same time for projects like this, and in the past few days, he has seen dozens or hundreds, all over the town.

He didn't understand the jargon of magic, and after a moment's thought, he thought that the soldiers might be setting up some kind of surveillance or defensive trap circle. This kind of thing is not surprising in war, and when the time comes, report it to the headquarters and let the siege troops pay more attention.

Pullman plans to take Marissa away and return to the inn. I tugged at it, but I didn't pull the girl. The latter was lying motionless on the ground, his head seemed to be running at high speed, and his mouth kept talking to himself;

"Crowns, nuclei, borax, horns. Pouring base, water chestnut pattern, funnel-shaped downward structure...... I think I've heard it somewhere. ”
