Artificer Adventure Guide

At the Sarn Police Station, Carl sat at one side of the desk in the office, recording his identity information and the details of the case with the help of local police officers.

"Name!"

"Carl Iris"

"Age"

"14, no, 15 years old"

Upon hearing Carl's age, the police officer in charge of recording straightened up, trying to make himself look taller in this way.

But even so, Carl's height sitting on the chair was still about the same as his.

"Why do children nowadays grow so outrageously?"

Muttering softly, the police officer pulled out a piece of paper from the pile of documents next to him, and then filled out an application on it.

Bringing minors to the police station to testify requires more complicated procedures, because there is also a treaty similar to the Minors Protection Law on the continent of Khorvale.

After asking his colleague to stamp the document, the police officer sat down opposite Carl again and continued to ask:

"Are you sure you saw someone wearing the same style of windbreaker as the victim leaving the crime scene? The corridor is very dark because of its location, and ordinary people should not be able to see what happened there."

Twisting the pen in his hand, the police officer showed obvious doubts about what Carl said near the crime scene.

Children don't lie?

As a senior police officer with more than ten years of experience, he sneered at this statement.

Children's words are the most untrustworthy. Who knows what outrageous things they will lie about? It's as if no one has ever been a child!

'And this kid has a tiefling female companion. Who knows if he wants to show his face in front of the other party for some strange idea...'

The undisguised suspicious eyes looked around Carl, and the police officer was even more suspicious of the information Carl had provided before.

"Emm, in fact, I am a holder of the Exploration Dragon Mark, and I have dark vision,"

Karl secretly cursed his bad luck after sensing the other party's suspicion through his psychic power, and then undressed to reveal the dragon mark on his shoulder.

'I should have known not to get involved in this case, the dead guy seems to have some identity problems. '

Looking at the rapidly changing expressions on the police officers' faces, Karl thought with some regret in his heart.

Taking this opportunity to scan the police station, Karl noticed that most of the police officers in the entire police station were looking in this direction.

But this was not because Karl showed his identity as a dragon mark holder.

As early as when he and Hope were taken back to the police station, these police officers had been paying attention to this side.

After thinking about it, Karl could only think that it was the special identity of the dead victim that caused these people to behave like this.

"Hiss~"

At this moment, the police officer opposite took a breath of cold air.

"Hey! Mr. Carl, I'm sorry that I doubted your words just now. Well, besides what you mentioned before, are there any other details you need to say?"

Quickly relying on memory, the police officer wrote down the details of the case that Carl had mentioned before on the form, and then changed to a "warm" expression and continued to ask.

"It should be nothing."

After explaining everything he could remember, Carl closed his eyes and recalled it again, and nodded to confirm.

Soon, the police officer came back with Hope, and after handling the formalities for Carl and the others, he let them leave.

As the two walked out of the police station, several people in windbreakers walked into the police station with their companions.

...

"Now I understand why you said that cases and spies are the specialties here when you introduced Saen to me before."

In the dessert shop near the police station, Hope was holding ice cream and eating it with a sigh.

The imitation Akanix school uniform, paired with denim shorts, stockings and small leather shoes, made her look like a student of the school, which seemed to reduce the malice of ordinary people around her towards Tieflings.

At least her ice cream ball was not much smaller than the one in Carl's hand.

"Ha, that's because you haven't been to Breland's capital, Woot. When I went there to sell magic props, I saw a spy being caught."

Carl shrugged his shoulders and looked like he was not surprised.

The country of Breland is now in a period of major historical change.

Because the previous king of Breland made a very stupid mistake during the Last War, which caused the Kingdom of Breland to suffer extremely tragic losses, the residents of the capital of Breland broke into the palace and almost captured the King of Breland and beheaded him.

The impact of this incident was extremely significant, and the royal power of Breland has not been able to rise up in the country so far.

Today, although the king's son is still in power, the entire Kingdom of Breland is completely controlled by the parliament.

Everyone believes that once the current king dies, the Kingdom of Breland will enter the republic under the arrangement of the parliament and the president will be elected by the people.

Because of this situation, external forces and domestic royalists have stirred up a storm in this country.

Assassinations and murders have become commonplace in major cities across the country, and the detective industry and local police have become more powerful than ever.

Hopper licked the last bit of cream ice cream with his hot tongue, and breathed a sigh of relief, as if he really liked this dessert.

"Okay, let's find a hotel to stay in. I think this area is pretty good. It's so close to the police station, so there shouldn't be many thieves or anything like that."

After handing his portion of ice cream, which he had not eaten much, to Hope, Carl stood up and took Hope to the nearby magic material store.

He felt that he needed to prepare some weapons that were not so conspicuous for self-defense.

Entering the magic material store, Carl picked up a few materials with ease.

The owner looked at the list of materials Carl bought and said directly to Carl: "There is a processing table in the store. Do you want to make it directly here? Or I can do it for you."

"I can do it myself. It's not a troublesome thing."

Carl's face lit up when he heard that there was a processing table in the store.

He was worrying about whether he could make props in the hotel after finding a hotel later, but this store directly brought its own processing table.

Put the metal into the crucible to melt, Carl used a lathe to process the wood into small wooden sticks of about 15 inches, and evenly separated them vertically from the middle.

Then, he made the hair of the magic beast into the wand core and put it into the wooden stick.

Finally, he used the magician's hand to control the liquefied metal, and before it solidified, he embedded it in the cracks of the wooden stick and carved magic patterns.

"Tsk, an expert! Is your friend a magician?"

Standing at the door with his shoulders folded, watching Carl's operation, the shopkeeper turned his head and asked Hope, who was sitting behind Carl, for confirmation.

"Uh, yes."

Hope seemed very uncomfortable being talked to by a stranger for the first time.

But after saying this, the shopkeeper stopped talking until Carl finished making this magic wand.

"Exquisite craftsmanship!"

Evaluating Carl's craftsmanship in this way, the shopkeeper looked at Carl like a fly rubbing his hands.

"Haha, it's okay, how much is the rental fee for the processing table? I'll give it to you."

"No! It's not a big deal. If you have any works in the future, you can come to me for consignment!"

Looking at the magic wand in Carl's hand eagerly, the shopkeeper said enthusiastically.
