Lord of Arcane

Chapter 146 Death Mystery
Felbers House, study.

Felbers had already been dressed and placed on the chair in front of the desk, crawling on the desk as Chateau saw when he came, holding the wooden ink pen in his hand.

After driving all the servants out, Mrs. Patty personally went to the place where Xiaduo had placed Felbers, tapped lightly, and tapped in other places.

The voice was not different, and there was no obvious switch on the surface, Mrs. Patty looked at Xiaduo again, "Master Xiaduo——"

"I'll try it!"

Xia Duo was sure that there was a hidden compartment below, but it was detected through Felbers' body at that time. It would be good to know that there was something inside, and he did not search carefully for the opening method.

To open it now, Xia Duo needs to cast [Shadow] again. This spell is a variant of [Messaging] and [Phantom Sound], and it is essentially a 0-level spell.

The maximum range that can be detected is no more than one arm, and it is also related to the material of the object. The denser the object or the more fluffy the object, the smaller the detection range, and the intermediate state can detect more.

Before performing the [Contrast Technique], Xia Duo glanced at Mage Kaili, and Kaili snorted coldly and turned his head away. In Mrs. Patty's eyes, this may be because she did not want to pry into Xia Duo's secret.

But in fact, the identification of spells by a mage in a state of concentration does not completely require eyes to see, and a vague judgment can be made only by perception.

Let Kaili see him cast a spell last time, but this time he didn't want to take advantage of Kaili. This spell itself is not difficult, and what is valuable in it is the application of sound brought by Xia Duo from the earth.

Echo detection is known to almost everyone on Earth, but this is not the case in Nether, and even if someone knows it, they will not tell others easily.

hum-

Xia Duo's palm hovered less than 2 cm above the floor, invisible fluctuations instantly penetrated the floor, and the floor actually resonated with Xia Duo's detection sound waves, emitting a low humming sound.

In this way, it is difficult to detect specific information. Xia Duo immediately adjusted the frequency, and a gray image with distinct outlines and different shades was fed back.

This time, he not only confirmed what was inside, but also found the mechanism to open the secret compartment.In front of Mrs. Patty, Xia Duo pressed the switch——

It is an eye-shaped switch hidden in the wooden texture of the floor, about the size of a normal person's thumb, and if someone who is familiar with the wooden texture carefully examines it, they may also be able to find it.

After the switch was pressed, a floor slowly retracted, revealing a hidden compartment.

"what--"

After Xia Duo pressed the switch, Mrs. Patty suddenly let out an exclamation, and the voice attracted Carey. Mrs. Patty saw that there was really a hidden compartment on the floor, and——

"That eye!"

Mrs. Patty was already weeping bitterly without checking the items of the dark space species immediately. Faced with the sudden loss of control, Xia Duo took a step back.

But at this moment, Carey stepped forward, helped Mrs. Patty up, and comforted her, "Madam, do you need my help?"

"Thank you Master Master!" Mrs. Patty broke free from Carey and said to Xia Duo, "Master Xia Duo, I understand. Felbers didn't have an accident the day before yesterday, but several days ago."

Kai's face was ashen, and he almost left the venue angrily, but he was reluctant to part with the shiny gold coins, so he suppressed his displeasure and stayed, and now he is also interested in Xia Duo.

After Xia Duo heard Mrs. Patty's explanation, he didn't understand why he pushed Felbers out of his eyes for several days!
"Madam Patty, can you explain in detail? If you want to find the murderer, the more information you have, the easier it will be."

"I understand." Mrs. Patty wiped her tears, controlled her emotions, and said, "Felbers has a magic item in the shape of a small cane, which he carries with him almost every day, but five days ago, when he came back from the chamber of commerce, The cane was missing, and he said it was stolen while inspecting cargo at the docks."

"and then?"

"Then two days ago, he suddenly said that he was going upstairs to deal with something, and then—"

Mrs. Patty's eyes dropped again.

But Xia Duo continued to ask, "What does that cane have to do with these eyes?"

"The end of that cane is a metal cylinder in the shape of an eye."

Needless to say, Xia Duo understood that just now he pressed the opening mechanism with his hands, which was not too difficult for him, but Felbers is just an ordinary person, and he is still in his 50s. Strength is hard to say.

And activating with a magic item might make an average person feel more at ease.

"Ma'am, I need to check what's in the secret compartment!"

After verifying the secret compartment, Mrs. Patty already believed in Xia Duo's judgment on the cause of Felbers' death, but she still asked Carey to check the secret compartment.

"My lords, please feel free to check. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I just want to know who killed my Felbers."

Carey didn't know it, but Mrs. Patty's needs for him ranged from checking the cause of death to investigating the murderer. Not much interest.

"Mrs. Patty, do you really trust his judgment? I think it's still necessary to check again."

"No, no need!" Mrs. Patty directly refused, she had already made a decision, "Felbers may have had an accident five days ago, there is no need to dwell on the cause of death two days ago, I would rather find out murderer!"

As if seeing what Carey was thinking, Mrs. Patty said, "Master Carey doesn't have to worry about the remuneration. As long as you investigate carefully, the remuneration will definitely satisfy you."

The words are so straightforward, what else can Kaili say, glanced at Xia Duo, and began to check the things in the dark grid, and Xia Duo has already obtained a mission certificate of at least 400 gold coins, now the more you do, the more you earn, he Not too much at all.

While the two were checking the secret compartment, Mrs. Patty ordered her servants to come in and carried Felbers out. As for the will that said she inherited all the property, she did not move.

"My lords, you can look through the things in the dark cell and the study at will, and there will be other people to help investigate later, please forgive me, my lords."

"understood!"

Xia Duo subconsciously glanced at Kaili, and Kaili happened to look at him. In his eyes, the two who were originally a little cold and even contradictory agreed for the first time—this woman is crazy!

The old man is dead, and I am still young. I don't want to get the family property first, but I want to avenge the old man. Is there really such an unforgettable love?
Xia Duo has never been in a relationship, and he also yearns for love, but he accepts the reality more. If he is Mrs. Patty, the first thing to do is to collect the family property and the old man's son. After that, no matter whether he wants revenge or whatever, he can plan in detail , It's better than catching someone and letting him help with the investigation.

With such a big disturbance, aren't you afraid that the murderer will jump out and kill her too?
But Xia Duo is not Mrs. Patty after all, and he has no way of knowing what this woman is really thinking, but he has no reason to refuse this kind of job that is almost sending money.

Maybe this trip will be able to complete the task indicators for promotion privileges!
