George Byron, 24 years old, is a young scholar of the Society of Truth. He is good at alchemy and has attainments in spell identification and trace tracing.
As a second-level alchemist certified by the Truth Society, he can create alchemy items that are enough to kill or defend against panic-level existences.
Under normal circumstances, although he also has strong reconnaissance capabilities, he is more often used as a logistician, responsible for providing reliable equipment for combatants.
However, because there have been too many things happening in Nuojin recently, and the fighting and conflicts have been extremely frequent, the personnel of the Truth Society cannot coordinate in a short period of time.
The truth will not lack logistics, but there are not many investigators who can play a role on the battlefield, especially as a large number of scholars who are mostly civilians do not want to participate in the battle at all.
So this time, he was urgently dispatched to take charge of the field investigation of this vicious incident.
It is said to be a vicious incident, but in fact it is completely a terrorist attack.
"This group of dark wizards are really crazy. They even launched a devastating spell here, and the ether monitoring network did not respond before this..."
Standing on the ruins, Byron, who had completed the rough restoration of the scene, opened his eyes.
He frowned as he looked at the ruins surrounded by the heavy rain.
It wasn't just the apparent casualties and building damage that were bad.
Even more frightening is the failure of truth in monitoring and forecasting.
This either means that the dark wizards have a way to avoid the ether monitoring network, or that there is a mutiny within the Truth Society.
Byron wrote his guesses in his investigative notes.
"The ones who died were the Red Sect leader 'Prayer' Murphy and several other dark wizards. The attack methods used by both sides are as follows..."
"This attack is clearly targeted. All the attacks are directed at the bookstore on the 23rd street, but the Red Sect group, who had been fighting with the Secret Ritual Tower and the Hunter Organization, suddenly came here. What... who's in the bookstore."
Byron couldn't help but cross the ruins and set his sights on the bookstore.
The barrier they set up will cover all the surrounding areas, and they are modifying the memories of everyone in the area, but this bookstore is blank.
In contrast to the surrounding ruins, the street in the middle is like a chasm, dividing both sides in two.
One side is a completely destroyed area, the other is intact and peaceful as usual.
This time, the attack of the red sect black wizard was completely blocked, and a strong counterattack directly killed them.
The other party of the party also has the strength of destruction level or even higher.
The truth will not know who the owner of this bookstore is, which means it is out of control.
"I'll go to the bookstore to investigate." Byron suddenly instructed the people next to him to jump off the ruins and walk to the bookstore. The ordinary bookstore, just across the street, was dimly lit, and it was difficult to see clearly in the fog.
But it seems to have a peculiar magic that attracts people to want to see what is in this bookstore.
After walking for a while, he was almost at the door.
"Crack." Someone pressed his shoulder.
"Stop."
The man's voice was low and serious.
Byron turned his head and saw a tall and strong white-haired man, he frowned: "Mr. Joseph, what's the matter?"
The man asked back, "What are you going to do?"
Bai Lun said of course: "Investigate this suspicious bookstore."
He picked up his book: "My duty is to clarify this matter, and this bookstore is obviously another party, and I need to provide the truth for the truth club."
Joseph whispered: "For your sanity, don't go."
"Knowledge keeps my mind calm, and reason is an essential quality for every scholar." Byron said: "I will never be shaken. You are insulting my personality."
"Even if you are a destruction-level knight, a respectable senior, you can't make fun of my sanity."
"Besides, this is my duty."
Joseph has always had a headache for the elm wood head of the Truth Society. He understands that if there is no solid evidence, the guys made of wood have determined one thing, even if it is a nine-headed cow, it can't be pulled back.
But the guy in front of him is not simple either. The ability to make panic-level alchemy items is already a level that can be called a "master".
Most of the alchemy props used by the Mystery Tower were purchased in bulk from the Truth Society.
Maybe a lot of them came from Byron's hands.
"Mystery Tower has listed this bookstore as a Level I area, but it has not yet been connected with the database of the Truth Society. This time, the owner of the bookstore is helping us. Don't be ignorant."
Joseph glanced at the bookstore: "I don't think the owner of the bookstore would like you to question him."
The Byron in front of him had a position in the Truth Society enough to know the contents of the top-secret level.
Byron's pupils shrank, his expression moved, and he said in disbelief, "Class I? In Nuojin?"
Of course, he felt unbelievable, the truth would develop in Nuojin almost all-pervasive, how could there be an I-class under the nose for so many years but not discovered.
Although Level I is powerful, the ether network of the Truth Society is also established by a great existence of Level I. In theory, there will be absolutely no fish that slip through the net.
"What? It feels fake?" Joseph curled his lips: "Just now, a destruction-level dark wizard launched a destruction-level spell here, but what kind of network does your truth know, there is no response at all, and in the end it is Relying on the bookstore owner to stop them is not as quick as the Mystery Tower."
"This... this is... "
Byron was speechless for a moment, his lips moved, and he didn't know what to say in embarrassment.
Joseph sneered twice: "You should check yourself."
At this moment, the bell on the door of the bookstore rang, and the wooden door creaked open.
The two immediately looked at them and saw a beautiful white-robed elf walking out of the bookstore.
The two were stunned for a moment, but Byron was stunned because he didn't expect an elf to appear in the bookstore, and Joseph's stun was so sudden.
When he borrowed "Child of the Abyss" before, he guessed that the owner of the bookstore was an immortal species, and he should probably be an elf.
Now this speculation has finally been confirmed.
Elves are a very xenophobic and arrogant race, and it is almost impossible to stay with humans.
Arguably, they were born racists.
That kind of love story between a man and an elves is just a story after all.
And the elves who came out of the bookstore were not only of pure blood, but also looked at the inside of the bookstore with respect when they exited!
The last doubt in Joseph's heart was answered, and he thought that he should also return the book... And the magic sword should have its own new owner.
The elf turned to look at them, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Humans, what are you doing in front of my lord's door?"
