In addition to Ragavan Lux, this time the security team also requested the assistance of the magic institution owned by Ms. Eunocia in the Free City. Several high-level mages were also invited to the scene to check pedestrians entering and exiting the dark streets. It has been avoided The prisoner uses invisibility or teleportation to escape.
The 18th-level old magician Farrakent, who had met Graven before the crime scene, was also present. Looking at the charred corpse of the spy, the old magician just squinted his eyes slightly and concluded: "Level 4 Flame Magic Ring of Flame┉ ┉Judging from the surrounding situation, the opponent’s level of magic use is quite high and there is almost no movement.”
Seeing the old magician speaking in an appreciative tone, Glavin shrugged and took out the small notebook he carried with him to record: "Then we will go through the counterfeit shop. The shop owner conducted an interrogation to further establish the identity of the other party.”
No magician would come to such a ghost place as the Black Street. Even the most junior magic apprentice would maintain his identity and would not come here. Glavin was almost certain that the mysterious magician who killed the security team spy this time was the one who had stolen and stolen the magician. Arson and other crimes shocked prisoners throughout the Free City.
"Perhaps he hasn't escaped yet, and is now running around in this neighborhood like a headless fly. Haha~ I really want to see this magic circle genius as soon as possible." Rather than arresting the criminal and bringing him to justice, the old magician Farah Kent obviously wanted to see the genius who almost regarded the protective circle as unmistakable.
After the fire in the warehouse area, Farrakent returned to his research workshop and began to conduct a series of experiments with his colleagues, all of which imitated the criminal's techniques to break through and crack the protective circle and magic lock. However, it took a lot of time After spending a lot of time and money, the magicians in the entire legal institution still cannot achieve the level of the prisoner. Some people even think that it is impossible. But the problem is that the prisoner has indeed turned the impossible into a reality.
How the opponent can easily break through various protective magic circles and how to unlock the magic lock within five minutes has been a puzzle to Farrakent recently. Thinking about this problem makes Farrakent feel like he is addicted. , the old magician felt uncomfortable all over his body if he didn't untie it for a day.
The old magician was still looking forward to whether he would be lucky enough to bump into a genius prisoner today, but Glavine didn't think so. The various gangs in the black street were not fools. Most of them had privately dug tunnels extending in all directions to escape in times of crisis. Maybe the prisoners would use these tunnels to escape. Moreover, the prisoner himself has the ability to ignore the detection of all protective circles and broke into the heavily guarded warehouse area alone. Although the entrance and exit of the black street are now blocked, and even magicians from the legal institution have been mobilized to assist in the search, but as for To be honest, Glavine was not sure whether he could catch the opponent this time.
However, it was just as Glaven expected. This search did not find the prisoner. The other party still escaped under the double martial law of the security guard and the armed guard. However, important information was obtained from the owner of the store where the other party sold the stolen goods.
"The magician who claims to be Misai?"
"You can ignore the name, it's probably a pseudonym anyway┉┉"
In the security team headquarters, Glavin was analyzing the information obtained this time with the captain of the security team.
In Glavin's opinion, this time the prisoner really surrendered himself to a trap. He left too many important clues for himself: "Although the other party is wearing a mask and cannot recognize his true face, he should be a teenager from his body shape. This clue allows us to immediately reduce the number of investigation targets, which can save money." A lot of time.”
"Young man? I have never heard of such a young magician, and he is also a magician who can ignore all the protective magic circles in the free city." A tall and arrogant-looking man, the captain of the security team, shook his head. He shook his head and said in disbelief.
Glavine quickly accepted this fact: "In addition to humans, we do not rule out the possibility of being from long-lived races such as elves and half-elves. If it is the latter two, it is also possible that they may appear to be teenagers."
"Then this kid is really bold, actually reaching out to the Free City!"
Halfway through, the captain of the security team frowned and said in a questioning tone: "If it's a young man, could he be the slave who escaped during the previous riot?"
"┉Although I don't want to rule out this possibility, according to the store owner's confession, the other party's arms are intact. Moreover, it is impossible for the slave boy to change from an ignorant slave to a slave in such a short period of time. A great mage who is proficient in magic circles."
"But it was said that the orcs who were with the boy during the riot┉┉"
"What is said?"
The captain of the security team immediately realized that he almost said something he shouldn't have said and quickly changed his words: "It is said that the orc seems to be able to use magic."
"Magical orcs? This is really strange, but it has nothing to do with the subject we are discussing." Glaven shrugged and continued to read the investigation report in his hand.
Orcs do use magic, and they can use magic that is not magic!
As the captain of the city's security team, he naturally knew some inside stories about the riot. During the riot, the orc's body was flowing with some magic-like brilliance. No matter how the armed guards attacked it, the wounds on the orc's body would heal quickly. He even managed to stand up and continue fighting after being beaten several times in the face of the arena champion Gerkat. In the end, the orc even turned into some kind of demon-like monster. Too many things happened in the riot that night. Something that can no longer be described with common sense.
And precisely because of this. All the guards who participated in suppressing the riot and their officials were warned not to leak any information. However, after all, there were too many people at the time and some leaks were inevitable. As a result, various rumors about the riot that night were spread throughout the Free City.
The captain of the security team still chose to remain silent. After all, the top management of Free City was too scary, and he, a little captain, could not afford to offend them.
Glavine, who was silent in analyzing the clues, didn't notice anything. On the contrary, the investigator seemed to be addicted to his favorite thing to do. He kept marking on the city map and muttered words from time to time. It seemed that he had completely forgotten the surrounding situation until Glavin started drawing on the map again. until one circle.
"Send spies to keep an eye on all stores selling food in this area." Soon Glavin issued the first order.
"Do you want them all?"
"All of them! No one can be left behind."
The captain of the security team's mouth twitched but he still nodded in agreement. The area designated by Glavin was not small, but the number of shops and restaurants selling food was not large and it was within the scope of the security team's personnel. Moreover, this is an important case in the Free City, especially since the victim of the arson case is Sir Philiberts, one of the Big Three. In any case, the prisoner must be found out first regardless of other cases.
During this period, by classifying the stolen goods stolen by prisoners, they can be roughly divided into three major categories: books, gems, and materials used for magic research and learning, followed by cash that can be used directly, and finally various kinds that can be used for selling. of gems and jewelry, etc.
If the prisoner can really enter and leave any protective circle at will without being discovered, then the free city is completely a huge toy box for the prisoner. He can take whatever he wants. Since this is how to steal cash And for what
Of course, Glavin does not rule out that the prisoners will go to casinos, prostitutes and other places where money is needed to spend money. However, further analyzing the time and pattern of the prisoners' crimes, Glavin determines that the property stolen by the prisoners should generally be used for food and daily necessities. purchase, and during the period when the criminal committed the crime, he did not receive many reports of thefts from food stores and restaurants. Obviously, the other party only targeted the wealthy large chambers of commerce in some aspects. The lower class took action.
From some aspects, the prisoner should be considered to have some kind of hatred for the rich, or he still has some conscience┉┉
He was from a lower-class area in the Free City. Even if he was not a native of the Free City, he should be from a similar class. Glavine also used this to infer the possible identity of the prisoner, but there are still some incongruous misunderstandings in his thinking. If the prisoner originally came from a humble background and later became a master of magic circles through hard work, then sneaked into the free city to carry out destruction and targeted the target directly. Felibos.
As for why he didn't want to deal with Philibos Glaven, the slave trade in the hands of that knight had many enemies throughout the continent.
If this is the case, it may make sense, but the question is, are there people who come to carry out the conspiracy without even bringing enough funds for activities
Glavine couldn't help but recall the words of the young president of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce. Since the other party could become a magician and was also a master of magic circles, he could exchange it for anything as long as he handed over some of his skills. If you want to make a lot of money, why would the other party come to the free city to engage in such petty theft? Isn't this exposing yourself in advance
However, Glavin drew a smaller circle: "This river channel is undergoing a careful search."
"That river was searched last time and there were no clues. Besides, even if the prisoner is a mage, it's impossible for him to sleep in the water."
Glavin suddenly pulled out a drawing that looked like a river channel design and said: "I browsed through the river channel drawings. According to the drawings, a storage room for materials and tools was opened in the river channel at that time. It is extremely likely that the prisoner would use this place to hide."
"Storage room! Are you sure you're qualified? Mr. Raven!"
The captain of the security team was a little confused: "If there is a storage room, our personnel will never miss it. We have not found any suspicious blind spots in the river."
"Don't forget, the other party is a mage. It is very possible to set up an illusory magic circle to deceive. In any case, we will search the river carefully."
After recording all of Glaven's requests, the captain of the security team quickly began to rush his subordinates to assign tasks. However, Glavin still stayed in the office, looking at the map full of marks with a falcon-like gaze. He had the feeling. I have a premonition that the prey I want to capture is getting closer and closer to me. Now the noose has almost been tightened, but there is still an important issue to consider┉┉(~^~)
