"What's the matter, Gretel? Is there anything interesting on this door?"

The blond boy standing in front of the door stiffened his back the moment he sensed the person behind him. He already had a strange fear of the person behind him, so even if there was only a wooden door panel in front of him at this time, , still took a step forward, sticking to the door with a strange gesture.

"Hansel! Don't keep appearing behind me suddenly!" The boy glared at the smiling man behind him.

The man's face is a typical Kievan Rus, even a casual glance is enough to attract attention. His height is a little more than 1.8 meters, and this height can be regarded as above-average even in Kievan Rus, who is martial. But his figure is unusually thin, so he looks very tall, and his hair and pupil colors are the most common black hair and blue pupils in Kievan Rus.

The man named Hansel shrugged indifferently: "Do you want me to yell 'Hey, dear Gretel, I'm going to your side right now' every time I walk behind you" Is it?"

Gretel blushed slightly: "That's not necessary..."

"So, did you find anything interesting?"

"It's a magic formula. The people in this room seem to have engraved a magic formula on the door. It's a soundproof spell."

Hansel blinked: "It's interesting, but it's not uncommon in the City of Adventurers. Is there anything about this spell that attracts you?... You know, we Kievan Rus know nothing about magic."

"But Hansel, you are obviously very smart. If you are willing to go to the Magic Academy for a year or two, you will surpass me." This sentence has been said no less than a thousand times since Gretel started traveling with Hansel. , but seeing the indifferent smile on Hansel's face, Gretel had no choice but to sigh and continued: "This spell is nothing, but the drawing is a little different from ordinary spells."

"I suppose it must have been beautifully drawn?"

"No, it's more about simplicity than subtlety. Hansel also knows that in the magical world, the purer something is, the more powerful it is, but usually such spells are not so much driven by the mage himself as It was the mage himself who was accepted by the spell, and the spell is quite simple, and it was drawn by a very powerful magician."

Hansel snorted softly, narrowed his blue eyes slightly, and then walked downstairs: "Interesting, let's go to the boss to find the names on their registration book."

Gretel was stunned: "Wait, Hansel, this is not good, how can we casually look through other people's rosters!"

"Don't you want to make money? Gretel," Hansel said without turning his head, "I swear that the person living in this room is definitely a wanted criminal, and it will definitely not be less than [-] gold coins."

"Really, really?" Although it was not the first time that Hansel did such an inexplicable thing since the two traveled together, Gretel still had a psychedelic feeling. After keeping up with Hansel's pace, , Gretel then asked: "Did you only look at the magic circle?"

"I'm not just looking at the magic circle, boy, if you magicians can get up on time before breakfast, you can see the people coming out of that room like me, and then you will feel strange, because that The man who came out was a Kievan Rus."

"I obviously got up before breakfast! What is punctuality? You Kievan Rus people go to bed before ten o'clock in the evening, and wake up at five o'clock in the morning! Every time I have to be woken up by you!"

"Then you can rent a room yourself, Gretel, if you have money."

When it came to the money issue, Gretel suddenly stopped and changed the subject: "So, what about the people of Kievan Rus? Even the people of Kievan Rus can't mean that others are as old-fashioned as you, so they don't want to learn magic, right? "

Hansel glanced at Gretel with a look of 'Why are you so stupid': "You know, sometimes I really think that I can learn the so-called magic of you Nimitz people, since even someone like you My brain can become a first-class water magician, and I even think that I can directly enter the alchemy world."

After finishing speaking, Hansel left Gretel who was stunned in place. He walked up to the innkeeper and showed a sign symbolizing his identity as a bounty hunter. The innkeeper confirmed the sign and handed it over The hotel directory.

Gretel stood there angrily. Well, he admitted that what he said just now was really thoughtless, not to mention that few people in Kievan Rus actually have the talent to learn magic. Even if they do, they can achieve this simple drawing. It is basically impossible for people in the magic circle, otherwise, in this era of unlimited enrollment in the magic academy, how could the people of Kievan Rus still walk on the continent of Delphi with knives.

Then there is another possibility that there are two people living in this room, one is from Kievan Rus and the other is a magician.

And is a very powerful magician.

But even that doesn't seem to explain anything, and it's not uncommon for a Kievan Rus to travel with a magician, himself a magician traveling with a Kievan Rus, and a bounty hunter.

So what else?That soundproofing technique?The sound insulation technique is indeed a bit strange, but it doesn't mean anything. If the magician draws a warning or even an enchantment, it may be inferred that the people inside are being tracked or wanted.

How on earth did Hansel conclude that the wanted criminal lived in that room?

"How are you thinking?" Hansel seemed to have checked the list and walked towards Gretel.

"I just thought there might be two people living in the room, one of whom was a magician, gone."

"Forget it, that's all you have in mind," Hansel said, "Let's go to the fountain in the central square. I'll tell you on the way."

It was almost noon at this time, the sun had gradually climbed into the sky, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Many people on the road were rushing towards their homes or restaurants. Only Hansel and Gretel went against the flow of people. On the way, Hansel explained his thoughts.

"You are correct in saying that there were two people in that room, but you can actually notice a little bit of other things, such as their room, which is small and has no windows, which is usually a warehouse, and now there are Many people came to Alderland because of the gate of death, so the room was crowded, so it was probably an extra bed temporarily added by the innkeeper, so judging from the time, they should have arrived in Alderland yesterday From [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm, you can live in a normal room earlier, and there will be no room to live in later - I don't know if it's good luck or not - and then turn over according to the wake-up time of the Kievan Rus Calculation, plus the possible footsteps, and a few hours of error correction, it is possible to draw a range centered on Alderland, and within this range, except for the direction of the border of the Papal State, everything else is closer. I can confirm that they came from the east, that is to say, the place where they rested last night was in the forest."

"So? If you settle in the forest, you might be a traveler, right?"

"Not only settled in the forest, but more importantly, they may have come from the Papal State. To be precise, the nearest city in Rialdland, Albiji, everyone knows what happened there , Anvent was assassinated, and the gate of death opened, for some reason, it seems to be something that a magician killer and a magician can do."

"But maybe it's just a traveler?"

Hansel chuckled softly: "Gretel, what kind of wanted criminal do you think will only use a sound-proof barrier?"

"...What kind of wanted criminal?" Gretel seemed to understand a little bit, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

"Hmph, of course it is a wanted criminal who only knows his name but not his face on the most wanted list. In Alderland, a city of bounty hunters, even if he is bold, he will have scruples, and he doesn't want others to hear him. His real name... yes, for example, Mage Killer."

"But! A mage-killer traveling with a mage? Is that possible?"

"Nothing is impossible in this world, Gretel."

Gretel sighed: "Okay, even if what you said is correct, then why did you go through the name book, Hansel? Anyway, the names on it must be fake names."

"No, I estimated at the beginning that one is a fake name, but the other is probably a real name. If the magician killer is a vigilant person, then he will not put any magic circle. In this city of bounty hunters, He would probably sit in the room alone with a knife until dawn, but if the magician killer was a complete idiot, he would ask the magician to cast an enchantment or a vigilant spell, but he is a half-assed, Putting on some kind of sound-proofing magic, he looks like a child who looks forward and backward and wants to cover up. He must be better at the kind of lies that are both true and false. Therefore, one of the names must be true, and this real name is not true. It will be his own, but the magician's."

"What is that name?"

"Friedrich."

"This... feels like a fake name."

"No, it's his real name, because the Mage Killer came from Kievan Rus, and of course he didn't know about this kind of story that only circulated in Alderland, so he wrote it without knowing that the name was the name of a phantom. Come down, so this must be the real name."

Gretel's face became serious: "Hansel, I hope I remember correctly. When I read the materials of the Bounty Hunter Association before, I seemed to have seen this name. Ten years ago, there was a commission to take over this Three people were entrusted, all of them were single digits in the bounty hunter ranking, and Grant even ranked third, but none of them came back, the name of the target..."

"Friedrich...really?" Hansel sighed, looking at the bard sitting by the fountain not far away: "Gretel, only at this time, I hope your brain is not so useful .”

"It's a pity, Hansel, my brain is not as good as yours. The reason why I can become an excellent water magician graduate of the Magic Academy is because I will never forget or misremember anything I have seen."

Gretel said slowly.
