After that, Aisha and Lin visited the night market for a while - but they didn't find anything similar to the War Maiden's shop, and once inquired, there were no inexplicable deaths in the past two days.

"Lisa, she must have only had an abnormality today...... There have been no deaths yet, and it is obviously unlikely that the other party will only attack Lisa's family, that is, the other party should have started to do it today, right? Because it is not a curse that can cause people to die instantly, there is no deceased yet. ”

Lynn's mood was a little heavy - not all shopkeepers were as good as Lisa's father could spot anomalies, and most of the other cursed items had already changed hands, and those who came into contact with them were probably ......

"yes, probably hopelessly. ”

Aisha patted Lynn on the shoulder, signaling that she didn't have to feel guilty.

"This is the world like this, human life is like grass mustard, the strong regard the weak as grass mustard, and the country regards civilians as grass mustard...... Don't think too much, unreasonable things will eventually be eliminated by time, and no one can resist them. ”

It's just that if you rely on time alone, except for dragons and elves, it is estimated that not many people will be able to hold on to the day of change-Aisha thought about it in the second half of the sentence, but still didn't say it.

"Wet sauce ......"

Lin suddenly tugged at Aisha's cuffs.

“...... When we get back to the hotel, you're going to teach me the things you promised to teach me, right?"

"I see, but I'm not going to teach you something related to combat for the time being~"

"I get it. Lin staggered her gaze with some annoyance, "Although I know that I am not capable of handling such a thing now, I am still a little depressed. After all, something happened right under my nose, but there was nothing I could do...... So, I'm going to have to find something to turn my attention around. ”

[This kid...... That's what makes people like and worry about it......]

========

===========

As soon as they returned to the hotel where they were staying, the two felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.

"It's ...... The smell of death?"

Lin was still a little skeptical, but turned her head to meet Aisha's gaze, and still got a positive reply from Aisha's eyes—a chill welled up from the bottom of Lin's heart.

What the hell is going on, and what will happen to you......

As soon as Lin pushed open the door, she saw the proprietress crying and complaining to the city guards who had arrived.

"This ...... I really didn't do it! My hotel has been open for so long, and although it is not a high-end place, it also has a good reputation! How can it be possible to poison guests!"

"A few of us also know that the old lady is your person, I didn't say that you did it......" The leading city guard also looked helpless, "But the person died in your shop, and it has nothing to do with your store, so I still ask you to investigate and record a confession with us...... It's better to find out as soon as possible, and you can return your innocence, you don't want your store to have no customers because of this incident in the future, right?"

"Oh, who did I mess with, why do I have to poison and kill people in my shop......

Hearing the explanation of the city guard, the proprietress cried even more - after all, such an incident can be said to be an absolutely devastating blow to her hotel business. A few guests were eager to check out, but the guards who arrived stopped them on the grounds that they couldn't let the suspect escape in the crowd, but I guess they won't stay until they wait, right?

"No, definitely not poisoned. ”

At this moment, a girl's voice suddenly came from behind him.

The proprietress and the castle guard looked behind them and saw that it was a young girl who looked like she was not yet an adult.

Aisha walked over to the corpse lying on its back in the hall, grim and pained, and reached out to close the other's eyes, which were still open.

"Although there are many poisons made with black magic, this strong grudge cannot be faked - this man was killed by a strong curse, and time ...... It won't be earlier than yesterday. ”

"Ah, you...... Are you Miss Aisha?" the proprietress also recognized at this time, this was the girl who came to stay this morning, and she also brought a younger girl, listening to their conversation, she could vaguely know that the relationship between master and apprentice was a master-apprentice relationship, and it seemed that the girl was still a powerful mage...... At the time, the proprietress thought it was a joke between the two girls, but now, she wished that a mage would come and give her a hand.

"Who is she?" asked the city guard on the side to the proprietress .

"The guest who came to stay this morning seems to be a mage. ”

Knowing that the other party was a mage, the city guard respectfully asked Aisha, "Excuse me, are you sure it's a curse and not a poison?" ”

"Of course, I can tell you with great certainty that this was killed by a curse—and, be prepared, I'm afraid there will be no shortage of similar incidents in the past two days. ”

"Similar? wait...... Are you saying that there will still be people who will be cursed and killed these days!"

Now the big brother of the city guard can't be calm.

"Lynn, you're sensitive to the aura of curses, so let's go find out if there are any items with curses nearby. Aisha instructed Lynn, and Lynn nodded solemnly.

"Lin and I went out to the night market before. Aisha explained to the guards, "During this time, we went to a weapons shop, and there we saw a sword with the same fierce curse. Although the shopkeeper discovered the anomaly in time, with his ability, he even suffered a lot of damage when he touched the weapon, and of course, the sword was disposed of by me. If you have time, you can go to the shopkeeper and ask about the next thing. ”

"I see, thank you for your help. May I ask the name of that weapon shop is ......?"

"War girl, the shopkeeper himself was very recognizable because his right hand was injured by touching the sword. ”

After receiving these news, the city guard who took the lead immediately instructed his colleagues around him to organize some people to collect evidence, and he himself still stayed.

"Wet sauce! look, I found this!"

Lin rushed out of the deceased's room in a hurry, looking very strange.

Aisha couldn't help frowning, her instinct telling her that something was going on again.

Following Lynn's instructions, Aisha found something unusual—a puddle of black powder scattered on the ground alone, no longer recognizable to the prototype.

"Even though it's almost gone, I can still feel the residual breath...... Absolutely, this is supposed to be the item that caused the death of the deceased!, but it must have been set up by the caster, and after the spell killed the holder, it self-destructed......"

"This is troublesome, is the clue broken again?" The city guard also frowned, with a sad expression.

"No problem, it's just a small skill of carving insects, let me do it. ”

Aisha looked disdainfully at the pinch of black powder on the floor, and waved her hand to collect all the powder scattered on the floor.

"As long as the macro pattern is still maintained, there are traces...... As long as you find the trajectories and connections between these particles, it will be easy to trace back to their previous forms!"

Under Aisha's manipulation, the black powder gradually blended into a stable shape......

"Is it a ring?"

Aisha looked at the black mass in her hand, and could vaguely see that it was a ring. Aisha then stopped her spell, and the "ring" once again scattered into black powder.

"If it's a ring, it's a jewelry store or something...... Thank you for your help!

Realizing that this incident was not trivial, the city guard immediately thanked Aisha, and then immediately put away the black powder in a hurry, summoned the remaining two people to take care of the scene, and rushed back to report it without looking back.

[Next, it's really a little troublesome......]

Aisha took Lin's hand, which was still silent, and pulled her to her room: "I've just rested during the day today, so I'll teach you the things I promised to teach you before...... Okay, don't think about it that much. Although good people may not have good rewards, you have to believe that wicked people will never have good rewards......"

"Hmm. ”
