Chapter 476 Undeterred Attempt to Ask for a Monthly Pass (ˇˇ)

"How could it be broken? I am also a witch, not a three-year-old brat." Koizumi Hongzi folded her arms, snorted, and then continued to look at the magic circle on the ground in doubt, "What is this? Didn't you say Does magic not work on Kistengu?"

Koizumi Hongzi is in a very bad mood right now.

Although the house I live in now is not too small, compared with the original vast castle, it is extremely difficult to settle down.

But now, she is afraid to move back to live in the comfortable castle—according to the servant, Wutiangou will occasionally go to the castle to inspect, looking like he really wants to grab something to go home.

In addition, the servant also brought very bad news: the precious instruments accumulated in her castle have now been drained of magic power and turned into a pile of scrap iron.

Yuan Hongnai's loss was not so heavy.But the failure to catch monsters before was a big blow to her who was able to do everything without any disadvantage.

but……

"Although the price paid was not small, it was finally rewarded."

Yuan Hongnai stroked the old ancient books on the table with her fingers, and slowly exhaled: "It's a pity that monsters don't exist, but if we can catch the mysterious wizard behind it, we can barely make up for our loss."

Koizumi Hongzi was taken aback: "Monsters don't exist? Mysterious wizards? What do you mean?!"

When Yuan Hongna was making these preparations, she was in a hurry every day without discussing with her at all.

Koizumi Hongzi therefore knew nothing about her aunt's progress.She has nothing to do these days, so she made other preparations by herself, and paid for a huge steel mesh—since the magic will be eaten by Wutiangou, it should be captured by physical means. The sniper rifle the servant used that day, look It's very effective when you go up.

Yuan Hongnai heard her question, glanced at the huge steel mesh piled up in the corner, and snorted coldly:

"Stupid. Haven't you noticed that the bullet passed him that night, but he left nothing behind - no blood, no tar, nothing... Generally, even bugs have bodily fluids, not to mention It’s a monster whose body is close to that of a human. In addition, when he was hit by a sniper rifle, there were obviously pieces of clothes falling down, but those pieces also disappeared later.”

"..." Koizumi Hongzi remembered some kind of explanation when he heard these over-marked words, "You mean to say that Wutengu is not a real creature, but some kind of puppet?!"

Yuan Hongna nodded:

"It should be something similar. It must carry some kind of method that can split the complex magic power into simple particles, and then absorb it all - if you don't find out who is hiding behind it, it will be futile to catch a few 'monsters' .”

As she said that, she glanced at the ancient book she found in relief again: "Fortunately, I have a clue now, and it's only a matter of time before I find that person."

Minamoto didn't invite help this time.

Magicians in this world exist in families, and the number is far less than what some outside insiders thought.These families usually do not communicate with each other, and only meet to negotiate when encountering major problems. Under normal circumstances, it is rare to see each other in a hundred years.Only when a family behaved out of line, or caused too much impact on the society, other families would jump out, punish the early bird in the name of balance, and then divide up the spoils.

But it is absolutely impossible to sit down to hunt friendly and share the harvest together.

However, although there is not much help in magic, Minamoto's husband's family has a wide network of contacts in society.

In modern society, the power of magic and abilities is not as strong as before.As long as she can identify the identity of the wizard behind "Fog Tengu", it's not difficult to use methods other than magic to put pressure on him.

Based on the current situation, Yuan Hongnai felt that if the wild wizard could be caught, it would be a good deal whether it was to torture the secret method or use it for his own use.And this can also avenge the other party's tricks on herself-in fact, she didn't guess that Wutiangou was just a puppet controlled by a wizard until the servant confirmed that nothing had fallen from "Wutiangou". , She actually really thought that there were monsters in the world.

Yuan Hongnai's thoughts diverged for a moment, but quickly retracted.

She reached into her robes and found a vial.

Then he held the bottle and said to Koizumi Hongzi, "Stay back a little bit, and restrain your magic power."

Koizumi Hongzi silently retreated to the side, pretending she didn't hear the second half of the sentence - there was no need to restrain herself deliberately, she had to squeeze hard now to squeeze out some magic power.

Seeing that her niece had retreated to a place where she would not interfere with the magic circle, Minamoto turned around and stepped into the circle.

There is a huge clear crystal ball placed in the array.

She carefully opened the cap of the bottle in her hand, and sprinkled the dust in the bottle on the crystal.

——This is the soil dug from the magic circle that locked Kidd, and it was found by the servant who ventured back to the castle.

That castle has existed for hundreds of years, and the magic circle will have special effects inside.As long as Wutiangou stepped there, it would definitely leave traces.

In a dark room.

As the processed dust fell into the magic circle, the already dim surrounding environment suddenly became even darker.The light seemed to be absorbed and devoured by an invisible monster, and the room seemed to be fast forwarded to the night.

It was dark, only the light in the magic circle gradually lit up, tracking the people behind "Fog Tengu".

After an unknown period of time, the picture gradually emerged, like a swaying water curtain, extremely blurry.

Minamoto pressed her eye sockets, frowning to adapt to this twisted style.

Gradually, she saw an old house from the "water curtain".The light in the room is dim and the atmosphere is gloomy. You have to try to open your eyes wide to see a hazy figure from the back. Judging from the figure, it seems to be a young man.

The man who couldn't see clearly was standing in the old room, holding a slender, wand-like thing in his hand, and there was a person lying on the bottom of his feet, and that person was lying on the ground, motionless.

Hongzi Koizumi, who was watching from a distance, took a silent breath and touched the goosebumps on her arms—it was indeed an evil wizard.Is he killing people?Could it be some kind of special sacrificial ceremony?

Thinking of this, she unconsciously pressed the phone again and touched "1" with her fingertips.

But soon, Koizumi Hongzi silently withdrew her hand again.

...This is a matter of the magic world, and magic should be used to solve problems, instead of relying on the police.

And the picture is too blurry, apart from being able to feel the atmosphere of the murder scene, I can't see anything clearly, even if I call the police, I can't indicate the location to the police.

...Let's wait for my aunt to deal with it.

……

This time the magic circle consumes a huge amount of magic power.

Yuan Hongnai stared at the screen with a tense expression. After the screen was frozen, she waved to the servant who silently huddled in the corner.
