The warden who guards the witches

Night, warden's office.

There are four seats next to the coffee table. Two witches, Precia and Daley, are sitting side by side on one side. Veronica and Rebecca are sitting side by side on the opposite side. Aiden is sitting on the big chair behind the desk, his eyes Staring at Precia.

After asking the Inquisition to collect the remains of the doll for investigation, Aiden also began to collect intelligence in his own way.

First, he must confirm whether what he just encountered was really the work of the witch Vera.

Witch Vera was a great witch who only became famous after he left the Inquisition, so Aiden didn't know much about her specific information.

He found two witches who knew Vera - in fact, when he learned from Precia that he might be targeted by Vera, Aiden tried to ask them.

At that time, Precia insisted on keeping silent about Vera, but Dai Li only told him that Vera was good at alchemy - but not the potion science, but the traditional smelting with the goal of turning stone into gold. technique, but did not mention any information about the golem.

"Well, that is indeed Vera's handiwork." Precia, who was sitting at the coffee table, nodded and confirmed after listening to Aiden's question. "She knows the technology of making golems."

"When I asked you about her information today, you didn't mention a word." Aiden sneered, "Now you are very cooperative in explaining it."

"What reason do I have to tell you? Just reminding you that you are being targeted is already the most righteous thing to do -" Precia was mid-sentence when she suddenly noticed that the faces of the two people opposite her were not kind, and she closed her mouth knowingly.

After Aiden was attacked, Veronica and Rebecca kept their faces dark the entire time.

Rebecca, in particular, had a fierce look in her eyes from time to time, as if she was about to eat someone. After the meal with Aiden was interrupted, she had been in a very irritable mood.

"What about you, Dai Li? You only told me that she was good at alchemy..." Aiden moved his eyes to Dai Li, "Are you deliberately hiding it from me?"

"How could that happen?" Dai Li quickly apologized, "When I went to prison, I didn't know she had such skills..."

"Vera is indeed specialized in alchemy. Creating golems was originally a technology developed by ancient alchemists. Vera restored this technology from ancient document fragments two years ago and improved it, Dai Li I really don’t know.” Precia defended Dai Li.

Aiden finally understood why Precia said that it was impossible for him to catch Vera - if the other party just invested this kind of autonomous golem to kill him, then he might not even be able to catch Vera's shadow. You can't even touch it.

"When the bureau came to pick up the puppet, I asked the people in the identification department." Rebecca said, "The puppet is actually relatively rough. Only the wax figure of the face took a little effort. It should be Made on a temporary basis.”

Aiden nodded. Indeed, compared to the golems made of steel or rock recorded in ancient books, the puppets Vera used were much simpler, with only a face made of wax on the head.

It is true that a golem made of steel will have stronger combat power, but it is not easy to make such an exquisite golem out of steel. It requires a certain scale of equipment.

In comparison, puppets can be made by hand. If you can manipulate the puppet golem to make puppets, you can even mass-produce them...

Thinking of this, Aiden suddenly felt a chill running through his back.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Veronica noticed the subtle change in Aiden's face.

"I was wondering if there would be more than one golem that guy put in to kill me?" Aiden frowned and said, "Should I always be on guard against the pursuit of these puppets in the future?"

"Ah, indeed." Rebecca nodded in agreement.

The golem mentioned in ancient books will act autonomously as long as some instructions are set.

The big witch Vera may be hiding in a corner of this city now, constantly making golems, disguising herself as pedestrians and wandering around the place where Aiden works and lives. As soon as she finds Aiden as the target, she tries to Approach the past to carry out the attack.

With Aiden's skills, it should be difficult to get hold of these puppets with simple action patterns, but he is afraid that they will be hard to guard against.

"I said, can you get in touch with Vera?" Aiden looked at Precia.

"You want me to persuade her to stop?" Precia asked.

"It's not good for anyone if this continues." Aiden stared into Precia's eyes and said, "Although you don't like me, no one can help you commute your sentence if I die, right?"

Precia is now in jail and has been sentenced to a lengthy sentence. Now that she wants a reduced sentence, she can only ask Aiden to help her matchmaking, like Daley, and use the research results of black magic in exchange for a reduced sentence.

So unless Vera can directly rescue her from prison, Vera will not get any good results from killing Aiden and Precia and Daley who are still in prison.

"I don't mind saying a few words for you, but now that Vera is sure that I have been arrested, it is unlikely that she will go to the contact point to get information. Even if I can contact her by taking 10,000 steps back, she may not believe it. I persuaded her voluntarily." Precia shrugged as if it didn't matter, "Besides, the main reason why she hates you now is that you have offended the entire witch assembly."

Aiden couldn't help but feel a little headache. The overall level of technological development in this world can only be compared with the modern society of his previous life. But now such an opponent suddenly jumped out, who could mass-produce "intelligent robots" that his previous life's modern society could not make. He suddenly felt a little beyond the scope.

And it would be a waste to say that such powerful technology should not be used to change the times, but only to disgust him like this...

"Senior, don't worry, I will go to the bureau tonight and apply to lead a team to patrol near where you live to see if there are any such things." Rebecca suggested.

"I will also contact the Mounted Police to strengthen patrols in the area where you are active. If such dolls are wandering around the city, it will be a security risk." Veronica also raised her hand.

"I feel a little sorry for this. You should have been off work by now." Aiden looked apologetic.

"What are you talking about..." Rebecca smiled.

"This is what I should do. After all, you are my lifesaver, sir." Veronica also agreed.

"I'll stay in the unit for the time being to see how things go." Aiden made a temporary decision and stood up from his seat. "It's a pity... Rebecca, why don't you have dinner with me in the unit today?"

Rebecca was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up immediately: "Okay!"

Aiden then looked at Veronica and asked: "Veronica, I accidentally asked you to stay so late, why don't you have dinner with me before leaving or..."

"Then of course I will obey your order." Veronica answered without hesitation.
