I saw a human head emerge from the shadow under the inspector's feet!
This scene is as weird as it can be.
The disheveled woman poked half of her head out from the shadows and said in a sleepy tone, "What's wrong, Miss? Are you in danger? Who do you want me to help you get rid of?"
The officers of the command bureau were fine, as they seemed to be used to it.
However, the adventurers of Moonlit Kiss felt their scalps tingling.
“A fifth-level warlock, a master of complex magic.” Klein whispered.
Stephanie and Moon looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.
As a fifth-level warlock, Novia also masters complex metal magic. In the royal capital, she is known as a rare genius that only appears once in a century, and she is even famous throughout the country.
Even a behemoth like the military would have to be polite and promise her compensation if they wanted to ask her for help.
And this strange woman hiding in the shadows actually possesses the same strength as her.
It has to be said that the Barron family's background is really very strong. They are the nobles who truly hold the real power of the empire. They are fundamentally different from business families like the Valerius family.
It is unheard of to have a fifth-level warlock as a bodyguard.
"Take me to 157 Maria Street," Luciemia ordered.
That was the location of Licinius's residence. After she returned last night, she carefully studied the relevant information.
Jasmine uttered an "oh" and lowered her head to get back into the shadow. Her shadow suddenly expanded, as if a monster had opened its bloody mouth and suddenly swallowed the two people in, disappearing without a trace.
The officers also nodded and turned away. "Now, follow me to 157 Maria Street. Bring more people to protect Lady Lucimia's safety!"
Novia looked at the group of departing soldiers in silence, lost in thought.
"Shadow Leap, a composite shadow magic. I think her frontal combat capability is not as strong as Novia's, but it is not much weaker. On the contrary, she excels in fancy methods." Klein commented.
"Strange, this doesn't seem like the Bureau's way of doing things. Shouldn't they control all those who are related to black magic and crime
I originally thought that Novia had really screwed her brother over this time, but when I saw Miss Luciemia’s expression just now, I felt that she was…” Moen hesitated.
Stephanie added: "Guilty, anxious, nervous."
Moen was puzzled: "What on earth is going on?"
As everyone knows, Novia's younger brother is just a useless guy with no talent.
Novia said with a straight face: "I don't know either."
"Novia, I need to remind you that your brother may not be what you think. Although he does not have any magical talent, in the eyes of many people, he is a good boy with noble character, selfless, and elegant and virtuous." Klein reminded.
Novia's delicate body stiffened, as if struck by lightning, and she finally froze.
"Elegance and virtue in one?"
She said slowly, "Licinius?"
At this moment, the boy's gloating tone seemed to echo in her mind.
"My dear sister, I will eat your secret for the rest of my life..."

The residents of No. 157 Maria Street have been having a hard time lately because for some unknown reason, there seems to be some problem with the sewer nearby, causing the smell to spread.
It has not stopped from last night to this morning.
The residents cursed and swore, and the workers were very confused after investigating the situation.
"I really didn't mean to disturb others. The main reason is that the bathroom is safe enough and can avoid the sight of Noren and Tria. After all, although they are very curious about my rituals, they are not crazy enough to pee on me." Li Xini wiped his wet hair and sat in the yard in his pajamas.
Noren held the special magic potion fragrance with an expressionless face and sprayed it wildly at the courtyard and the mansion.
Yes, Licinius had just completed his third sacrificial rite.
The process went smoothly.
Even the evil god was confused.
The being in the gray fog is called the Hundred-Eyed Evil God in the magic book, and holds the authority of knowledge.
However, even with his knowledge, he could not imagine how this human could appear in the gray fog.
Logically speaking, after two sacrificial ceremonies, death should be inevitable.
Because the evil god took away half of your life, and it is irreversible.
No matter how many words of life magic you use, or how many rare and precious potions you use to replenish your vitality, or even how much you transform into a monster to devour others to prolong your life, it will be of no avail.
This was probably the first time that the evil god had ever seen someone like Licinius.
During the divination process, Licinius clearly felt the emotions of surprise and shock coming from the gray fog.
The transaction was completed with the evil god feeling four parts fear, three parts surprise, and two parts confusion.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared on the lawn, and someone jumped out from the shadow.
"who is it?"
Noren immediately went on alert, pointing the airbrush at the intruder, ready to spray at any time.
"Noren, wait, it's an acquaintance!"
Li Xini saw the other person's appearance clearly and immediately stopped him, saying, "No need to shoot."
Lucimia looked around and confirmed that there was no danger. She then showed a guilty look on her face: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you got into trouble. Are you all right?"
Li Xini was stunned for a moment: "What are you talking about?"
Lucimia did feel guilty, because in her opinion, the boy was abandoned by his family and came to this dangerous border city alone with his childhood sweetheart to make a living.
But he has no complaints about life and still loves everything around him.
He even sacrificed himself to protect those classmates who rejected him.
Such a person should not be given any more trouble.
What's more, he was involved in such a dangerous matter.
"I heard from your sister when I came here that you were being targeted by a user of dark magic."
Lucimia bit her lip, her face full of guilt.
"Ah, about this, you came just in time!"
Li Xini raised his eyebrows: "Miss Luciemia, do you want to solve the case?"
Lucimia was stunned: "Huh?"
"I've found a clue about the user of dark magic!"
Li Xini smiled and said, "Do you want to go catch him together?"
Chapter 34: Liz in the City of Towers
On a leisurely weekend, Master Li Xini dressed up again and went out, heading straight for the civilian area in the city.
It's getting busier and busier day by day.
"Licinius, you have to think carefully. The Bureau of Control has a bad reputation in the empire. It can cause chaos, especially in cases involving black magic. Who knows who might be implicated and want to kill you to silence you."
Lucimia shook her elegant twin ponytails, glanced back at the iceberg girl following behind, and reminded: "Even if you have a fourth-level melee warrior protecting you, you are not safe."
Noren followed behind without saying a word.
This kind of thing is indeed more dangerous, but the young master has always been the head of the family.
The young master is not afraid, and she is not afraid either.
"Is it dangerous?"
Li Xini's eyes lit up. "How dangerous is the work of the Bureau?"
Lucimia thought for a moment and said seriously, "From nobles to commoners, from ordinary people to sorcerers, the royal family or the military, there is no one who will not be offended. In short, it is very dangerous."
Licinius was even more satisfied: "Aren't you afraid?"
Lucimia snorted, "This is my job. Whether it's for the glory of the Barron family or to surpass my father, I have to continue. But this has nothing to do with you. You don't have to get involved in this mess. Even I can't guarantee that I can protect you."
Li Xini snorted, "Then I will go even more."
Luciemia was puzzled: "Why?"
"Can you solve the case without me?"
Licinius showed a serious expression and said righteously: "If we don't completely eradicate these black magic users, then this city will never have peace. It is my duty to fight for the city and its people."
It is our duty to fight for our city and our people.
Lucimia fell silent, biting her red lips with her pearly teeth, realizing the gap in the situation.
She did these things for her own glory and merit.
The difference is obvious...
At this moment, she felt even more guilty.
"Have your men finished hiding? Although they have changed out of their military uniforms, their fierce aura is still too conspicuous. Don't alert the enemy." Li Xini instructed.
"Everything was done as you instructed."
Lucimia came back to her senses and asked doubtfully, "Can you really solve the case? How did you determine that the heretic who used black magic was hiding in the civilian area?"
Licinius grinned. He knew more than just that the criminal was hiding in the civilian area.
He even knew the gender, age, measurements, and which side of the buttock had the mole.
It's not that he is abnormal, but the evil god's divination ability is too profound.
The divination directly depicted the other person recuperating in the bathroom.
"Ahem, about this."
He couldn't say that he was cheating, so he just said perfunctorily: "Have you heard of psychological profiling?"
"Profile?"
Luciemia had never heard of it, because this world relied too much on magic and such a thing had not yet appeared.
"You'll know soon enough."
Licinius gave a mysterious smile.
They walked through the bustling and noisy streets and came to an area that seemed like a village in the city. There were also rows of houses here, but most of them were not painted. Structures made of wood and bricks could be seen, and some were simply covered with mud walls that were already mottled and falling off.
This is the civilian area, and you can see women washing clothes and children playing on the street.
There is also an auntie selling black bread, a blacksmith in a roadside shack, and an affordable herbal medicine shop.
The most eye-catching building is an adventurer bar.
The wild warlocks were fighting each other with weapons, getting drunk and vomiting and having diarrhea.
“What a terrible smell.”
Lucimia waved her hand with a look of disdain like a young lady: "Is this the life of a commoner?"
Licinius spread his hands and said, "It can't be said to be the life of a civilian. This is the dangerous area of Norma City. It used to be a place where adventurers and criminals gathered. But after the army moved in, the situation has improved a lot. Go five kilometers south from here and you will be out of the city. Outside the city is the wilderness near the Forest of Demons."
"Adventurers often accept commissions to hunt monsters and pick rare herbs in the wilderness."
He explained: "It can be considered a means of survival, but even after the army is stationed here, the public security here is not necessarily much better. They dare not cause trouble in the city, so they will run to the wilderness."
Lucimia nodded with a look of realization, "I heard that since the army entered Roma City, a group of people have been hiding in the wilderness and have not dared to come back yet."
"yes… "
Licinius said, "Are you coming back to die?"
"Isn't this great? We should set up a villain zone, where those who want to join gangs, low-level adventurers, and criminals can gather and live." Lucimia said.
Licinius was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, then we named that place Australia."
This girl had a good idea, and he almost smiled.
Lucimia didn't understand his joke, she only heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
