The sun is high

The kitchen of Ernst's old house ushered in an eerie and brief silence.

Roy, whose face was covered with blood, was lying in the corner moaning. The three-tailed rat stood arrogantly on his chest, and the three tails like whips were lashing the bloody face.

Bart, whose arms were severely twisted but with a look of deep hope on his face, struggled to support his body. He gasped hard, suppressing the severe pain in his body while quietly waiting for the next development of the situation.

The young "wild mage" standing opposite stopped his movements. He turned slightly and looked at the female mage of the Law Committee who was already very close to him.

The latter holds a magic book in her hand, and her aura is cold and powerful. Just standing there makes people cringe, not to mention that the mage robe on her body is still stained with blood...

"Maybe she just dealt with someone?"

The hope in Bart's heart became brighter and brighter. Ever since he was born, he had not had the slightest fondness for the mages of the Legal Committee. However, now, he couldn't wait to see those law enforcers who were the most ruthless and the most abiding by the Creed of the Legal Committee. If possible, Bart would like to see the female mage use her magic to roast the wild mage into charcoal, or melt it into a puddle of acid...

Bart waited quietly.

However, his lifted heart gradually sank to the bottom along with his difficult breathing.

Nothing he expected happened. The owner of Ernst's old house, the pale and thin illegitimate son, took two deep breaths. He seemed a little nervous and troubled, but this was definitely not the case when facing enemies and threats. Reaction!

And the next second, a sentence that popped out of the female mage's mouth completely penetrated all Bart's illusions.

"What's going on with these two people?"

Even Xiuge didn't expect that this would be Weilin's first words.

Xiuge didn't want to immediately answer the question of the female mage in front of him. He carefully looked at the blood stains on her robe. These blood stains were very new and seemed to have been stained not long ago. It was very strange to suddenly "visit" in this image. It didn’t fit in with Shuge’s first impression of Wei Lin.

So he asked: "Miss Wei Lin, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Xiuge's reaction, the female mage sighed. She opened the magic book, once again tore out a page with many complicated patterns, and threw it out.

As a result, with the flow of magic power, the soundproofing magic most commonly used by the Legal Committee immediately spread throughout Ernst's old house, locking all sounds indoors.

After doing this, Wei Lin replied: "I'm afraid your previous guesses and worries are correct. I have confirmed some of them... But the bad news is that I also got into trouble with some people because of this." trouble."

As she spoke, Weilin tugged at the mage's robe with some disgust. The blood stains on it made her a little irritated.

Xiuge observed Wei Lin's expression, and then asked tentatively: "So, you are fleeing now?"

"Escape?"

The moment she raised her head, Weilin's demeanor returned to normal. She shook her head indifferently: "It's not an escape, but the city of Salem is no longer safe for you and me. I can't even trust those people." The deputies who followed me here.”

This sentence sounds a little strange.

Xiuge instinctively followed this sentence and then frowned: "So you mean, I can trust you?"

Wei Lin narrowed her eyes.

The sense of crisis that flashed through his mind made Xiuge decisively shut his mouth.

"Okay, it's time for you to answer my question."

Wei Lin turned her head and cast her gaze towards the tragic kitchen: "What's going on with these two people?"

Bart, who had been trying to support himself, finally couldn't bear the reality in front of him. He didn't even have time to think about the specific relationship between the two people in front of him, and just fell to the ground with a "gudong".

Shuge shrugged and said with a smile: "They haven't had time to answer me yet, but I guess they should be members of the Three Color Brotherhood."

"I remember that your good friend is also a member of the fraternity."

"Putlin? Well, he is indeed a member of the Brotherhood, but... I don't think the Brotherhood can represent him, and of course, he can't represent anyone else in the Brotherhood."

The thief Roy was still moaning incomprehensibly. At Shuge's signal, the three-tailed mouse standing on Roy's chest quietly scurried into the shadow of the cabinet next to it, and then disappeared without a trace.

Naturally, it was impossible to hide such a small move from a lake-level mage. The moment the three-tailed mouse jumped away, Wei Lin's eyes had already turned sideways.

"Okay, give me a moment and I'll try to ask something."

"Thank you, Miss Vereen."

"Don't be in a hurry to say thank you."

The female mage had already raised her feet and walked towards the two thieves, and her words came over: "After this, you also need to give me some explanations...about the magic you used."

After speaking, she pointed to the kitchen door.

…

In this way, Shuge was ruthlessly driven out of the kitchen of his home.

He could guess with his toes that Weilin would probably use some of the special magic from the Law Committee on the two thieves from the Three Color Brotherhood. Xiuge was doubtful for the time being if he could find anything useful. But what is certain is that these two guys probably have no way to survive.

"It's a pity. There doesn't seem to be anything that can be exchanged for body parts of thieves in the dream world."

This thought flashed through Xiuge's mind, which made him stunned for a moment.

He found that he seemed to adapt to this kind of thing a little too quickly.

I don’t know if this is a good thing.

This kind of meaningless thinking was quickly put aside by Xiuge. He went to the second floor and looked out from the window. He found that there seemed to be no obvious commotion in Salem City. The speed picked up.

"I'm afraid I'm going to give up on this old house soon."

Xiuge looked around and felt a little emotional, but from the bottom of his heart he didn't have much affection for the mansion he lived in, and in fact, the things he needed to take away from the old mansion were extremely limited.

Some manuscript papers recorded some clues and conjectures he compiled. These things need to be destroyed quickly.

Then there was the magic pass obtained from Philip's office. Shuge felt that it was necessary to give this to Wei Lin for a second check. After all, he was a beginner in magic who lacked systematic learning and was not good at judging magic props. unprofessional.

Then there is some money, the quantity is limited, just carry it with you.

Finally, there were the two alchemy bombs exchanged from the dream world. Xiuge carefully wrapped them up and put them into the pocket of his windbreaker. This was considered one of his trump cards.

Soon, the manuscript papers filled with various conjectures and clues were burned by Xiuge. Just as he was busy smashing the ashes, Weilin also ended her interrogation, and she walked out with a solemn expression. He walked into the kitchen, the magic book in his hand still flashing a light blue light.

Xiuge wanted to check on the two thieves, but before he could enter the kitchen, Wei Lin stopped him.

"It's nothing to see... It's convenient to dispose of corpses with magic acid, but the process is not elegant."

The female mage pushed up her glasses, and then said in a slightly tired tone: "However, I think Mr. Shuge will always have a chance to see it in the future."

Hearing Wei Lin say this, Xiuge immediately restrained his urge to go into the kitchen to take a look. He turned to ask: "Miss Wei Lin, what did you ask?"

"It's very limited, but your guess is very accurate. They are indeed members of the Tricolor Brotherhood, but their purpose here is not clear."

Weilin pulled out a chair and sat down. She held the magic book and said, "In fact, these two thieves don't know the purpose of the Brotherhood in letting them come here, so according to their own plan, they should want to control you." After you stay, I will ask you everything I can by torturing you."

"Mr. Shuge, your response method is actually very correct. Spell casters should solve all hidden dangers at the initial stage."

Weilin praised it very naturally, and her fingers tapped the cover of the magic book with a specific rhythm: "I checked the injuries on the two thieves, and I must admit that my previous judgment of you still exists. A huge deviation, this is my dereliction of duty as the mage of the Legal Committee."

"Well……"

Xiuge felt his eyebrows jump. He was not unfamiliar with this kind of speaking technique.

Generally speaking, the other person's next sentence is very likely to start with "but".

As expected, Wei Lin continued: "However, no matter how talented a spellcaster is, he should not abuse magic without guidance and learning. Magic and magic are like running water. When they are properly controlled, they will naturally flow like a stream. They are docile, but once they go astray, you will know how terrifying they really are.”

"Miss Wei Lin, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"Before we talk more, let me see the magic you have mastered, which will be related to the specific cooperation between us."

When saying the last word "cooperation relationship", Weilin deliberately emphasized her tone.

"It seems I have no room for rejection, right?"

Wei Lin sneered: "I can also turn you into an obedient humanoid puppet in a short period of time, and then transport you out of Salem City like a smuggler, and then I will try to restore your sanity... Repair Mr. Ge, what do you think of this?"

"Let's talk about magic."

"Wise choice."

The female mage smiled, looked around, and then pointed to a decorative cabinet placed in the corner: "Just use it as a target, use the magic you have engraved on it, and I will make a judgment. We have limited time. , let’s start now.”

Hearing what she said, Xiuge had no choice but to raise his hand. He deliberately controlled the rotation speed of the magic disk in the spiritual world. After using a small amount of magic power, along with the weird syllable that Xiuge himself could not understand, Two black tentacles with a dark green luster immediately swept out from the palm of his right hand, and then hit the decorative cabinet fiercely.

The wooden door of the decorative cabinet shattered with a sound. This was the impact of magic itself. Even if the magic power summoned by Shuge was limited, the destructive power it showed was still considerable.

"Well……"

Wei Lin looked at the decorative cabinet that was pierced by the black tentacles, and then at Shuge's intact right hand. Then the young lake level mage commented: "It's not bad, it looks like a summoning spell." One of the magic, of course, it may be a variant of some basic magic, and it seems to have some kind of poison on it... Is it the tentacle of some kind of magical creature? Interesting."

She raised her chin, raised her eyebrows and said, "I know you are not only good at this magic. What happened to that strange mouse before? Summon it and have a look."

Xiuge had no choice but to do as he was told.

Therefore, along with the chanting of an obscure and dark spell, the figure of the three-tailed mouse slowly emerged in the dim light and shadow. Before Xiuge could give the order, Wei Lin's mage hand suddenly appeared next to the three-tailed mouse. , under the control of Wei Lin's mind, the mage's hand lightly and accurately grasped the back of the three-tailed mouse's neck, and lifted it up.

Under the suppression of Wei Lin's magic power, Xiuge found that the magical creature he summoned could not move at all. The poor three-tailed mouse was carried by the female mage like the living magical creatures sold in the store. I kept observing, its three whip-like tails swaying dissatisfiedly, and making noises on the edge of the table from time to time.

After a moment, Wei Lin ended her observation and waved her hand, so the mage's hand immediately threw the three-tailed mouse aside. The flexible magical creature ran quickly the moment it landed on the ground. In the blink of an eye, it He rushed to the top of another cabinet, huddled in the shadows and furtively looked at everything below.

Seeing Wei Lin looking at him again, Xiuge could only spread his hands: "That's it. These are the only two magic spells I have engraved and completed."

"As a beginner in magic, he is already outstanding."

Wei Lin nodded and said: "Mr. Shuge, you should have heard that the vast majority of spellcasters who perform magic inscription for the first time can only inscribe some very basic tricks, and even those who can barely inscribe destructive magic, They will all be trained as 'top students'."

"Although for some reason, the two magics you master have some shadows of evil magic, but... it doesn't matter. After all, evil magic has long been classified into other schools."

Wei Lin tilted her head and then asked: "What are the names of these two magics you have mastered?"

"..."

This question made Xiuge freeze on the spot. He hesitated for a moment, and then answered truthfully: "Miss Weilin, I don't know the names of these magics. I only know the methods of using them."

Xiuge saw that the moment he gave his answer, Wei Lin's beautiful eyes visibly widened. This female mage, who had always been calm and composed, finally revealed her surprise for the first time. , she couldn't even control her voice.

"What did you say??"
