There was actually an isolation magic circle at the door of the small building bought by Chu Ying. This magic circle could block the prying and entry of other ordinary people. Zhang Cunliang wanted to push the door with his hand, but his hand was blocked in front of the door. Magic runes appeared out of thin air, wrapping the entire front facade of the house. This invisible air wall was very tight, preventing the three from moving forward.
However, for Milda, such restrictions are useless. Although she is often dressed as a magic swordsman, her actual magical ability is not weaker than Glade.
She gathered a trace of magic power on her fingers and poked the air several times, and a few ripples appeared in the empty space in front of her. Runes shattered one by one where the ripples passed, and a moment later, the invisible wall disappeared without a trace.
Milda bit her lip lightly, felt it for a while, and said, "This is a barrier set by a strong wizard. Well... at least it has the strength of the low-level peak. If this is the case, Chu Ying and his accomplices should not be underestimated. Everyone be careful, I will go in front and you two will go behind. In case there are any magic traps."
The other two agents nodded and followed Milda carefully in a line, moving forward slowly.
After Milda opened the door, she found that the room downstairs had been tidied and was fairly clean, but it looked empty. Apparently after buying the house, Chu Ying had thrown away a lot of the old owner's furniture, renovated and cleaned the house, but had no intention of living there.
"I guess this is one of their secret bases. Maybe the information we are looking for is stored here." Zhang Cunliang looked around the first floor of the house. "How about we spread out and take a look?"
"Slow down!" Milda shouted, and Zhang Cunliang's legs stopped in mid-air. Milda took a quick step forward, pulled him back and said, "There is a magic trap at the entrance of this staircase!"
"Magic trap? Where?"
"You guys leave the room. I just vaguely feel that there is magic hidden near the stairs, I need to check it carefully." Milda stretched out her hand to stop the two people behind her and said.
Zhang Cunliang and Ge Hao did not dare to be careless and left the house as instructed.
Mirda squatted down and swept the ground with her mental power. The mental power she released was very special. It was actually a secret exploration technique of the Star Tower. The mental power released by this secret technique could discover hidden magical powers while trying not to touch them. It was most suitable for exploring secret places and mechanisms.
After about five minutes, Milda finally explored the trap array on the ground clearly, stood up and walked to the wall near the door, and pressed a little on an inconspicuous spot on the wall. Several streams of light slid directly from her hand to the staircase, where the light spun rapidly underground and finally disappeared.
"Okay, you can come in." Milda said to the two people outside the door.
"What kind of magic circle was that just now?" Ge Hao asked.
"That is a very dangerous magic circle. If we step on it, it will connect to a room on the second floor and blow that room up into the sky. But this magic circle has a switch, and I have just turned it off."
"You mean, this is a magic circle used to destroy corpses and cover up traces? Then it is very likely that what we are looking for is upstairs." Ge Hao said.
Mirdad agreed, "That's right. But everyone should be very careful. If there is a first checkpoint, there may be a second one."
"Let me check the first floor carefully first, and then we can go to the second floor."
The three spent half an hour downstairs, but the time was not wasted. There was an offensive trap array at the back door of the ground floor: Corrosive Mist. And there were alarm traps in several locations on the first floor, which could promptly notify people on the second floor of an invasion. And at several intersections, there were offensive rocket, ice arrow, and acid arrow traps. Mirda spent a lot of time to dismantle these arrays one by one.
"It's like a den of wolves and tigers. Moreover, these traps are closely linked to each other, first it's an alarm, then an attack. If the intruder is a little careless, the people upstairs don't even need to come down, because there will be dead bodies all over the ground below." Zhang Cunliang complained.
"The more this is the case, the more it shows that there is something wrong here." Milda said, and took the two people to the second floor.
The feeling of the second floor was obviously different. There was a lot more life here, and many furnitures were still in the room. However, the three of them did not dare to be careless and continued to carefully check the way ahead.
Sure enough, at the door of a room, they found another trap. This trap would explode directly from inside the house, blowing the room behind the door and the people at the door into pieces.
"It seems to be this room." Milda disarmed the trap and pushed open the door. Everyone was shocked by the appearance of the room. This was neither a study nor a bedroom, but a warehouse, and in addition to some documents, the warehouse was full of various magical equipment.
There were weapons, armor, strange props, and some scrolls tied together in bundles.
Milda took a quick look and commented, "There's nothing particularly good here, and the scrolls are low-level scrolls, but they're worth a lot when added together. But I really suspect that Chu Ying is a rat, as he's managed to collect more than a dozen magic weapons and items in such a short time."
"It's definitely not possible for Chu Ying to do this alone. There must be a group of people who took advantage of their positions and found ways to get it while doing business. This must be their base."
Zhang Cunliang took out his phone and said, "We'll take photos of those first, seal them up, and then notify the committee to receive them. Then, we'll check these documents."
Zhang Cunliang picked up a book and flipped it open. It was an account book. Although most of the information written on it was in vague codes, it gave him a very problematic feeling because the amount of the accounts was large and regular. The goods in this account book were divided into several categories. The weekly shipment quantity could be seen. The converted amount was very close to the price of ordinary iron products. If it was the school's own business, it should not appear here. Zhang Cunliang looked at two or three account books in succession and said, "It looks like we have caught the big fish."
"It's the same here." The book in Ge Hao's hand did not register items. On the far left was "Mine No. 04".
There are entries like "A 045" and "Sheng 036". On the right side are some data. Judging from the range of numbers, they look like age, height and price. "I guess this is a list of slaves to buy."
"The next question is very simple. We can tell if it's Chu Ying's stuff just by comparing it with the notes." Mirda took out an account book from Chu Ying's dormitory. When the two were compared, the handwriting styles were exactly the same. She smiled and said, "It's him! We've got evidence. Let's take all the information away and see what that guy has to say!"
