At night, the city of Royo is enveloped in a tense atmosphere.

A large number of samurai appeared in the streets, and the senior sheriff of the Judicial Administration on horseback commanded his men to set up defenses along the streets, blocking the main roads, and curious residents were driven back to their homes and not allowed to go out into the streets.

A number of high-ranking samurai also gradually appeared in all corners of the northern district of Royo, waiting for the task assigned by the governor.

In the distance, the hoofs of galloping horses could be heard, and it was Raschel and Chakra who had finally arrived.

"How's it going?" exclaimed Raschel as he jumped off his horse.

A sheriff replied in a loud voice: "Report to Lord Raschel, we have completely sealed off all the junctions in the northern district, and laid six blockades near the city gates, and the entire northern district has been surrounded by 1,200 soldiers and 400 samurai of the Judicial and Political Bureau. But we don't know exactly what's going on inside at the moment, and we can't be sure where Huy Gler is, the only thing we know for sure is that he's inside and hasn't come out. ”

Chakra immediately asked, "Why didn't you send someone in to arrest him?"

"Lord Chakra, we've had three night law enforcement teams die at his hands. A criminal like Huyglaire, my lord, is not something we can deal with. We need high-level samurai and magicians. Moreover, there are many people living in the North District, and the entry of a large number of soldiers is likely to cause chaos in the entire North District, once the civilians run around, our manpower alone is not enough to solve the problem, but it will create an opportunity for Huy Gler to escape from the chaos. The sheriff replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You're doing the right thing, young man. For such an opponent, we should take the approach of hitting the first blow. Raschel patted the sheriff on the shoulder, "Are my men coming?"

"Yes, my lord, they are already waiting for you over there. The sheriff gestured to a tall tower not far behind him.

Raschel walked towards the tower.

There were now ten people on the top floor of the tower, six high-ranking warriors and four mages. It was after the last Lanya Theater incident that Raschel specially applied to the Empire for secondment to the person who was specially used to capture Huigler, and was also the special agent of the entire rat hunt operation.

Among them were five sixth-level warriors, one seventh-level samurai, one fifth-level mage, two fourth-level mages, and one alchemist.

Dawkins, a fifth-level light mage, is proficient in the spell of time reversal.

Dande, a fourth-level water mage, is proficient in water image reproduction spells.

Ida Nole, a fourth-level wind mage, is proficient in wind reconnaissance spells.

and Dim, the alchemist, who is proficient in the arrangement of magic circles and searches for traces.

When Raschel entered the tower, he exclaimed, "Noller, have you found Huyglare?"

"Lord Raschel, you're finally here, we've found him. ”

The young magician replied that it was Ida Knoller. Like Huy Glare, he is also a wind mage, but he is good at wind auxiliary spells, that is, the vision of the wind, the hearing of the wind, etc., which were abandoned by Hui.

This is a spell that specifically borrows the wind element for reconnaissance, but it is better than the Wind Warbler, and the biggest advantage is that you don't have to worry about causing magic fluctuations that can be detected or blocked.

It was with this ability that Idanole became the best recon mage in the Attorney General's Office, and as long as there was a place where he was, there was no one within a radius of ten miles that he could not find.

"Where is he?" Raschel asked in a deep voice.

"On Shrike Street in the North End, a man is followed by a strange puppet, a small black dog with a golden head, very handsome, and two blazing birds in the sky. The young mage's eyes showed a strange red glow, and if you looked closely at his pupils, you could even see a figure swaying in them.

"What is he doing?"

Knoller replied in an eerie tone: "Take a walk...... I think it's a walk. ”

Raschel and Chakra looked at each other.

"Keep watching. ”

"Yes, my lord, he looks laid-back, not like he's on the run...... He stopped, and a beggar begged him, and he gave him a gold vett...... He's so generous. ”

Raschel's brow tightened.

After thinking about it, he shouted, "Dawkins, I need your help." Imprint the image of Noller on the crystal ball. ”

"Okay. An old mage said in a deep voice.

The hands made strange gestures, and the muffled incantation echoed in his ears, and like an ancient call, a beam of light came out of the old mage's hand, shooting at the young mage Noller who was using the vision of the wind, and then onto the crystal ball.

This spell is called the Connection of Light, and it allows you to map the images you see directly onto a crystal ball.

The next moment, a clear picture appeared on the crystal ball.

Raschel clearly saw a golden boy strolling down a street in the northern part of the city.

He did seem laid-back, and when a street drummer was playing a small tambourine in boredom, he even stopped to listen for a moment before turning away.

"Is that him?" Raschel asked Chakra.

Looking at the handsome face on the crystal ball and the golden head, Chakra nodded slightly: "Yes, it's him, Huy Glare." Chakra's tone was bitter.

He finally appeared, and just like that, he appeared in the city of Royo, right under his nose.

Chakra felt a sense of embarrassment in his heart, killing him would make his nightmare disappear.

"Cahill, Lord Kevin Beers, have they arrived?" Raschel asked again.

A tall samurai replied, "I have already been informed, but Lord Bills said they would not be able to come until a while, because they were having dinner and had not eaten yet." ”

Raschel laughed angrily: "Very good, it's really a big shot." Well, let's wait until they've had a good dinner, we'll do ours first, and I wish them a good appetite. ”

Cahill shrugged helplessly.

"Dande, print the detailed topographical map of this area on the crystal ball, see where he is going, and prepare to go over and intercept it. Raschel continued to order.

Another fifth-level mage of the water system chanted a spell, only to see criss-crossing outlines gradually appear on the crystal ball, which was the topographic map of the northern area displayed on it. Where Huigler walked, a red trail was formed, drawing a thin curve on the map. This technique of overlaying personal influences with maps is also unique to the senior mages of the Department of Legal Affairs, allowing people to more clearly and intuitively see where the target is and where it will go.

Each of the four mages brought by Raschel has some special abilities. They are not battle mages, but they have their own excellent set of rules when it comes to scouting and finding traces.

For Raschel, fighting has never been his interest, finding opponents and crushing enemy plots, that's what he's passionate about.

Today, though, it seems that Hue Gler's performance has disappointed him.

Before he even used his full strength, Huy Glair automatically appeared in front of him.

This opponent was always so different, he never seemed to be a wanted criminal.

Raschel stared at the image of Siegler on the crystal ball, and in his mind, this figure overlapped with the figure of another person, Siseddardanelle......

They resemble each other, Raschel thought.

Just as Raschel was staring at Huy Glare, Huy Glare, who was originally strolling leisurely on the screen, suddenly raised his head.

He raised his head so that his face was aimed at Raschel and the others.

I saw a mysterious smile suddenly appear on Xiuyi's handsome face.

Then he made a gesture, his right thumb, index finger outstretched, and the other three fingers together, and he tapped a little towards the sky, as if it were on Raschel's brow.

Raschel flickered slightly, and Idanole, who was using Wind Vision, shouted, "He knows I'm watching him!"

The next moment, the crystal ball suddenly steamed with smoke, revealing a large amount of magical energy.

Raschel was taken aback and shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Everyone dodged in all directions at the same time.

However, it was too late.

Rumble!

The crystal ball that was being used suddenly exploded, and a huge wave of magical energy formed a surging wave of qi in the upper rooms of the tower, carrying countless crystal fragments at the same time.

The powerful energy** is like a galloping wind power, enveloping the entire room, and the powerful destructive force almost destroys everything here. All the warriors pounced on the mage beside them at the same time, and the fighting energy on their bodies emitted a large amount of light, and they used their bodies to hold up this powerful ** wave. Chakra himself hugged Raschel and crushed him under him.

A moment later, the magical energy swept in like a tsunami and quickly disappeared into the vast sky, leaving only a mess here.

All of them were injured to a greater or lesser extent, and if it weren't for the quick reaction of those warriors, the few mages who were physically weak would have died on the spot in this sudden explosion of energy.

A terrible cry tore through the momentary silence: "Ahhh

Ida Nole, the young mage with the vision of the wind, was wailing loudly.

He rolled around in a pool of blood with his eyes covered. A little bit of blood oozed from his fingers, and at least a dozen crystal pieces flew directly into his eyes when they exploded.

It's no coincidence that the connection of light gives the crystal ball a guiding path when it explodes, and at the end of this passage is the mage's eyes.

Ida Nole was the one who suffered the most damage.

Although one of the samurai knocked him down in time, the crystal shards that flew along the light connection destroyed his eyes.

Raschel stood up in the dust and looked at the blind Noller in a daze.

He couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and roared angrily: "How can this be!?How could the crystal ball explode?How could Huyglair know that we were spying on him?huh?"

Although he is a clever agent, it is a pity that he is not a magician after all, and there are many problems that he cannot understand.

Dawkins, a mage who had previously used the Light Connection, immediately said, "I'm afraid this is not an accident. It's a trap, an alchemical trap, Deem, maybe you can give us the answer. ”

The alchemist named Dim first took a careful look at Noller who was rolling on the ground, and then shook his head regretfully: "His eyes can't be saved." ”

"I don't care about his eyes! I want to know what the hell is going on!" roared Raschel.

"Give me time, maybe I'll find out. Diem replied. The old alchemist slowly took out a bottle of potion from his body, which contained some gray powder.

Pouring out some gray powder, the alchemist sprinkled them into the air: "This is the developing sand mist, which can help us to reveal something invisible." ”

The effect of the visible sand mist in the whole room gradually became clear, and everyone was shocked to see that there were several surveillance eyes around the room at the top of the tower.

And on the floor, there was even a strange formation depicted.

Surprisingly, there were four big characters written on it: Fourteenth Avenue.

Raschel stared at the things dumbfounded, and asked Deem, "What's going on?"

Dim was also completely dumbfounded: "This is ...... An energy load circle, which causes the magic energy in the crystal ball to suddenly be overloaded, causing it to burst. ”

"I'm not asking you this!" Raschel exclaimed, "I'm asking you, why are there these things in the place you chose? What do you think I don't know? It's the *** Eye of Spying! It's something for the alchemist, it's Huygliel inserted here!But the question is how did he know we'd be here, and be prepared for it beforehand! Fuck bastard! When we were spying on him, he actually saw our movements clearly!"

"There's only one reason. The mage named Dander suddenly said, "Xiu Yiglaire is also a wind mage, and he knows that the vision of the wind needs to be high in order to be most effective. Due to ......"

Raschel nodded: "Since the highest place in this area is this tower, he could have guessed that we would be here, right? In other words, he was not forced to run around by our people to run to the North District? He timed our sortie, and then swaggered all the way from the Bemond neighborhood to the North End, leaving us with the choice of peeping and looking for him from the tower where he had set a trap beforehand, right? So he's going to do all of this, waiting for us to take the bait and destroy our eyes, right?!"

Raschel screamed hysterically.

Everyone was silent, and the blow was too heavy for them.

The alchemist Dim was a little disgraced: "I'm sorry, I should have used the sand mist to scout the ...... here after I came here"

"No, no. You don't have to apologize. Raschel waved his hand: "It's me who should apologize, I already knew that this kid is extremely cunning, since he is here, it is impossible not to be unprepared." I was too careless, I mistakenly shifted my attention to someone else, ignoring this kid's secret arrangement. Diem, you can't scout every inch of land you walk through with sand mist, it's not your fault......" Raschel quickly came to his senses, and everyone realized that at least one of the good things about this guy was that he never overdid it.

"Answer me a question, Deem. Raschel said.

"What?"

"If Huigler knew we were going to be here, would there be any way he could use a more powerful circle against us?"

Dim nodded: "You know that prepared alchemists are the most powerful, and in theory, as long as they are well prepared, they can even kill the Holy Domain. ”

"In other words, he spared our lives. Raschel said coldly.

Everyone gasped.

Raschel looked around, everyone was looking at him, and he shouted angrily, "What are you still watching me do? That guy is on the streets of the North End right now! Cahill, take your men there to intercept Sighlaire. ”

"Where are you going? We can't see him now. ”

"Fourteenth Avenue, he has given us the position. Raschel said helplessly. He pointed to the words on the ground: "Huigler must have laid a trap there, you better be careful." ”

"Okay, Commander. Cahill, a rank 7 samurai, pulled out the last crystal shard from his back, threw it on the ground, and then crushed it fiercely. Such an injury was nothing to a sea warrior, but being teased by a wanted criminal in this way made his dignity greatly humiliated.

Especially when Diem says that Hue Egler could have killed them all.

Raschel glanced back at Chakra, "You go too, and do what you want." ”

Chakra nodded and walked out of the tower.

But at this moment, he didn't have the slightest sense of excitement about to catch Xiu Yiglaire.

The explosion just now chilled him, he didn't know how many useless means Xiu Igler had left, and he was waiting to deal with the people who were going to capture him.

Seeing the crowd leave, Raschel pulled a surveillance eye from the wall.

He looked at the moving little eyeball, slowly leaned his face to it, and then said viciously to the surveillance eye:

"Hue Igler, if you're watching, then remember this face. The owner of this face is called Raschel, Jason Raschel. I swear, no criminal has ever escaped from under my hands. You're not an exception! You're doomed to pay for what you did today!"

Raschel roared at the Eye of Surveillance.

Looking at Raschel's face, which was extremely distorted by anger, Huey chuckled softly.

To be honest, he has a lot of admiration for Raschel.

This guy is cunning, cautious, suspicious, conceited, but at the same time quite capable.

It's a pity that Raschel didn't expect that the upper echelons of the empire would sell the details of the people he brought to Buckler early. When he learned that Raschel had a Wind Scout Mage who was proficient in Wind Vision, Huey knew that it would be a great problem for him.

So the first thing Huey had to solve was Ida Nole.

As for the others, they had to rely on Raschel to keep them alive.

For a wanted criminal on the run, it doesn't really make the slightest sense to confront a huge empire and kill as many people as he wants. A fugitive, as long as he is alive, then no matter how miserable he lives, he is the victor for those who pursue him. Only on the basis of being alive does it have the meaning of fighting back. Otherwise, no matter how many people you kill, as long as you are hunted down by the Empire, it means defeat.

You must know that the country's human resources are endless, and one person's strength will never want to destroy a country, even if you give him a big blow, the Lance Empire can organize a capable team again and again at any time to continue the non-stop encirclement and suppression of Xiu Yiglaire. For Stricker VI, the wealth of Huigler was too important for him to regain even if the loss was great.

So today Xiui may be able to kill everyone in the tower in one fell swoop, but tomorrow, the empire will have new people to take over the job. And the newcomer's ability is not necessarily worse than Raschel's, but it is Xiuyi, who must spend a lot of money to acquire information about the opponent.

In a strategic sense, there is actually nothing good to be gained in killing Raschel, who is pursuing him.

On the contrary, leaving Raschel alone, with Bailey by his side as his own eyeliner, henceforth, the shrewd old fox's every move could never be out of his grasp, which was obviously much, much better than killing him.

Raschel would never have dreamed that his crazy pursuit of Huey was becoming Huey's best self-defense**. And with Pele's dark chess, Xiu Yi is likely to make an even more terrifying counterattack.

After all, no one can guarantee that after Raschel's death, the new commander will continue to reuse Chakle Bailey and others. Killing Raschel is tantamount to reducing the value of his pawns, and at the same time reducing his own security.

Therefore, Xiu Yi wants to save Raschel no matter what, he not only wants to save Raschel's life, but even has to find a way to save Raschel's official!

At this moment, Noller, a mage who can use wind vision, was solved, and Xiu Yi patted Xu's head and said, "Okay, let's go and solve the second problem." ”

He walked towards Fourteenth Avenue, and the murderous aura in his eyes became more and more fierce.
