Lord of Arcane

Chapter 459 Prepare to Dive In
After leaving the first court, Xia Duo didn't go to carry out the task right away, one month, although he wouldn't really wait until a month later to start acting, but there was no need to go now.

Back at the residence, Xia Duo first checked the scroll box, which is a standard box for the trial court, but the scrolls inside are different, and the key one is the [Dimensional Anchor].

Now that it is known that the opponent entered the empire by mistake in the front line teleportation, it is impossible not to prevent the opponent from teleporting again. Although this possibility is very small, after all, frontline soldiers rarely have high-level mages, and most of them are middle and low-level mages. Joint cast.

But there are things like magic scrolls, humans have them, and so do "demons"!

In addition to [Dimensional Anchor], there are also scrolls for protective spells and restricted spells, but most of them are judgment spells. Xia Duo probably guessed the function of these scrolls.

It seems that the townspeople of that Little Goat Town will also be screened once.

Putting away the scroll box and putting it aside, Xia Duo took off the [Spell Reversal Ring] that he had just put on at Osk, and observed it carefully.

Due to a lot of monitoring in the Arcane Empire, he didn't use any of his own magic items. This year, he mixed a judge's robe and a lightweight ring. Magical items are worthy of the name.

The whole body is gray, with inconspicuous silver patterns on the surface. It looks very ordinary, but under the magical vision, the dense strings of the magic web are connected to the ring, which looks like a small cotton candy at first glance.

According to Osk's instructions, Xia Duo carefully connected some of the strings of the magic web to himself in a specific order, until the magic aura stabilized and then disappeared.

Xia Duo didn't try to analyze the [Spell Reversal] on this ring. He didn't even master this spell, let alone "Eddie". It's too early.

Link the ring to itself, and play with it for a while before putting it on the finger again. The next step is the detailed plan.

It is foreseeable that Osk even took out the [Spell Reversal Ring], and there will definitely be scouting spells to follow, so the actions he can take must conform to his current identity and personality.

"Eddie" has just become an intermediate mage, and the only third-level spell he knows is [Flying]. Except for flying, any other third-level spells cannot be displayed.

Even if the original low-level spells are raised to a higher level, it will be difficult to pass in time.

Therefore, if it can be solved with a scroll, it is best to use a scroll to solve it. It is the most ideal state that you don't need to do it yourself.

Of course, for "Eddie", scrolls also need time to get familiar with, especially for spells like [Dimensional Anchor]. Extra practice.

……

In the next few days, Xia Duo went to the fourth court to retrieve the past case files about "Little Goat Town", and at the same time practiced unfamiliar spell scrolls in the spell practice field of the trial court.

By the time everything was "prepared", it was already three days later.

On this day, Xia Duo led 100 ordinary soldiers to set off from Kilan City. Not long after leaving the city, he realized that he was being targeted by a detection spell, and he knew where he came from without thinking.

Little Goat Town is not far from Kieran City, less than ten miles away.Different from Savile Town to Linshui Village on the main plane, all the towns here are connected to Kieran City by road, and the traffic is very convenient.

In the past, the main industry in Little Goat Town was raising sheep and supplying the production of parchment paper. Later, with the invention of papermaking, parchment was only used to make magic scrolls, and the daily consumption was greatly reduced, so Little Goat Town began to reduce production. Planting, wheat, oats, carrots, things like that.

On the way to Little Goat Town, Xia Duo recalled the records he saw in the case files of the Fourth Court. According to the latest census, Little Goat Town had a total of more than 2000 residents.

Excluding those who died of natural causes over the years, as well as those eliminated from apprentice schools and magic schools, the total number will not change much.

It is not an easy task to find two hidden "devils" among 2000 people. After all, the reality is not playing games. The boss has been waiting for the players to fight and swipe repeatedly.

If there was too much movement, maybe they would just run away, so where would he complete his mission.

When there was still some distance from Little Goat Town, Xia Duo ordered the team to stop, "You stay here, come here immediately when you see my signal!"

After receiving the hand crossbow and short sword prepared in advance from a soldier, and agreeing a signal with the captain, Xia Duo set out on the road alone.

If he can reveal his identity as a high-level mage, then he can bring people there, and the teleportation is not impossible to track. If the other party cannot teleport, even ordinary people are enough to surround and kill them.

But now, it can only follow the plan.

Activated the ring of lightness, and then cast [Invisibility]. This "Eddie" body, Xia Duo actually regained the agility of the body, and ran towards Little Goat Town without any effort at all.

When approaching the town, Xia Duo slowed down his pace. Unfortunately, if he slowed down, the footprints left on the ground could not be eliminated. Fortunately, there are often people walking around here, and the footprints are messy. As long as you don’t look for it deliberately, who would think What about an invisible person suddenly appearing in broad daylight?
Taking advantage of [Invisibility] to last for a while, Xia Duo found a house at random and got in. A young woman was cooking inside. Xia Duo didn't want to waste time, so he immediately cast the spell of judgment——[Instigation], and then appeared stature, ordered:

"Keep quiet and don't panic. I'm a Level 4 judge in the trial court and I'm on a secret mission. I have a few questions I want to ask you."

[Instigate] This spell is a bit similar to [Confusion Effect] but it has a certain coercive effect, but it is not a percentage effective. Mind spells go to the heart, and some people are born with stronger resistance, so there is no way.

Compared with spells, perhaps the official identity is more effective. Anyway, Xia Duo couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was because of the spells or the clothes on him. In short, the other party obediently obeyed.

Continue to cast [Inquiry], this spell can cover a field, and it is a bit wasteful to use it to ask a person alone, but Xia Duo still uses it to be cautious.

"Has any stranger been in your town lately?"

"No."

Didn't lie?Xia Duo was not surprised. The so-called demons would not reveal their identity and appearance openly. Otherwise, the townspeople educated by the empire would report directly, and they might even be killed.

"Is there anyone in town who suddenly seldom shows up lately?"

The woman thought about it, and finally shook her head, but she came up with a conjecture, "My lord, the men in the town have to roll their names every day when they go to work. Only pregnant women can suddenly disappear."

"Then has anyone died in the town recently?"

"Have."

"Who?"

"The man from the mayor's family, I heard that he was picked up by wild wolves when he was working a few days ago."

"..." Xia Duo was speechless. Are there any wild wolves nearby?
There are no large forests near Kieran City, and they have all been turned into farmland. There is only a small hill near Little Goat Town. However, according to the records of the Fourth Court, there has never been any incident of wild wolves attacking people in the past few decades. .

suspicious!
