Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

night.

The hustle and bustle of the day ends, and the silence of the night comes. Although in some corners, there are still a lot of secret activities, but the street where the Golden Goblet Hotel is located is as quiet as a cemetery.

The death of a wizard apprentice from the mainland is definitely not a trivial matter. No one dares to ignore it, but they don't know how to deal with it.

To catch the killer who killed the wizard's apprentice?

Wake up, even powerful wizard apprentices can be killed and turned into stone statues. If you really want to catch them, do you think there are too few lifelike stone statues in this world?

The officials of Cuijin City considered various reasons, and finally, with a cautious and conservative attitude, blocked the entire street where the Jinjiu Hotel was located, and prepared to wait until the people from the White Stone Tower arrived to solve it in person.

As a result, the Golden Goblet Hotel, which was supposed to be very lively, turned the whole street into a very cold place.

In this coldness, faint footsteps sounded.

"Da da da……"

Richard appeared in front of the door of the Golden Goblet Hotel, gently pushed the door open and walked in, ready to investigate some situations.

Richard knew that if he asked Gero, Gero would definitely find a way to open the entire Gold Goblet Inn for him to investigate, but he didn't want to do it.

Because it exposes itself too much.

To investigate this kind of behavior, it is better to keep it a little secret, so that it will not be targeted by Baishi Gaota or other potential people. It is better to take advantage of the dark night to come and investigate alone, which is quiet and will not be disturbed.

"Da da da……"

Richard stepped up to the second floor of the hotel, followed the corridor to the end, pushed open the door and walked into the room where the dead Wall was.

In the room, the stone statue that Hua Er turned into stood on the ground, motionless, like a huge source of fear, so that no ordinary person dared to approach the entire hotel and even the entire street that had been blocked.

But Richard was not afraid.

People tend to fear the dead more than the living, but out of reason, Richard is not affected by this.

If it is a living Hua Er, Richard may be a little wary, but a dead Hua Er turned into a stone statue is only worth studying.

With a "puff", Li Cha flicked his finger, and the "Ghost Hand Fire" was released, and a ball of egg-sized oil-green fire was born at the fingertips, illuminating the surrounding area.

Holding the firelight, Richard stepped closer to the stone statue and began to observe. He could clearly see every detail on the stone statue. After observing for a while, Li Cha found that the whole stone statue was so lifelike that it almost perfectly restored all of Hua Er, whether it was hair, nose or eyes. The only difference is that these parts are now stone.

"Is it really turned into stone?" Li Cha's eyes flickered, and he said to himself, "Then what is the principle? The transformation of elements? Or inject some special energy, and biological cells. Produce a specific response that causes the flesh to harden rapidly, exhibiting a stone-like state?

If the latter, is the reaction reversible? Is it possible to turn the stony back into the body after turning the body into stony? If it can be done, then can it adapt to the complex environment through flexible transformation in battle. "

"But..." Li Cha raised his eyebrows, "It will obviously take a lot of time to really analyze the principle of this kind of spell, so it is better to study it slowly. Now, rather than analyzing the spell, it is better to figure it out. , what happened in this room."

As he spoke, the oil-green flame on Li Cha's finger expanded rapidly, becoming the size of a human head, illuminating a larger area in the room, and numerous furnishings and scenes appeared:

Wrinkled blankets, cracked floors, blood stains...

Li Cha looked at it carefully, and finally his eyes fell on the wrinkled blanket with the most traces. His brain worked quickly, trying to restore the previous situation.

"According to the appearance of the blanket, Mr. Wall, the third-level apprentice of the White Rock Tower, should have performed some kind of enjoyment on this for a long time before his death, and then he stood up.

Hmm, then turned around suddenly, with such force that the fur on the blanket was torn off a lot. After that, he should have stood for a while, or talked, or launched a spell attack in a standing position. "

"In this case, the enemy he is going to face should be in this direction." Li Cha imagined Hua Er's state at the time, looked in a certain direction in the room, walked over, stared at the ground, and then found out on the ground. An imperceptible, black powdery layer.

"Huh? Sure enough, you're standing here..." Li Cha squinted and said to himself, "But what is the powder? Spellcasting materials? Or the traces left by the release of some kind of spell?"

Li Cha pursed his lips, thought for a moment, took out a glass bottle from the iron ring, squatted down and collected the powder carefully, and then put a label on it and wrote "Cuijin City-Golden Goblet Hotel-S Incident-Product No. 1" " lettering.

After collecting the powder, Richard stood up and looked at the imaginary location of Wall, then moved his eyes to the wooden window in the room.

"If Hua Er finds that the enemy is too strong to fight after probing, then he is likely to try to escape. The nearest location is the wooden window." Li Cha walked quickly to the wooden window and checked the wooden window and found nothing. any signs of damage.

"So, Wall didn't try to escape. Or, his escape failed, and he was stopped before he broke the wooden window. After being stopped, he fell in this place because of excessive force. , and directly crack a part of the ground." Richard took a step, took a few steps back from the wooden window, and looked at a cracked ground near the stone statue.

"Then Wall tried to stand up, but he knelt forward because of his injury or for some reason." Richard glanced at the blood on the ground, and then his eyes fell on the stone statue, "At this time, his enemy should be Stay in place to cast spells, or come over... um, it should be coming over."

Richard saw that the black powder he had found appeared on the ground near the statue again, and guessed, "So, he came over and released the spell. After turning Wall into a stone statue, he used the same method as when he appeared. go."

Squatting down, Richard collected the black powder found again on the ground into a glass bottle, put a label on it, and wrote the words "Cuijin City-Golden Goblet Hotel-S Incident-Product No. 2".

When he got up, Richard looked around the entire hotel and said, "If there were no accidents, the battle only lasted for a short time, or it didn't happen at all, so there was no obvious damage to the decoration of the room. In this case, Hua Er The enemy should be very powerful and have the advantage of crushing, at least the official wizard level.

Combining with the previous information of Gero, it is speculated that this existence is at least an official wizard level, and it is deliberately retaliating against the White Rock Tower. As a member of the White Stone Tower, Hua Er was naturally poisoned. But what is the reason for revenge? How did Shiraishi Tower offend the other party? "

Li Cha muttered to himself, walked to the wooden window of the room, opened the wooden window gently, tried to breathe, relax his mind, and scatter some thoughts.

But just as he opened the wooden window and glanced at the scene outside the window, Li Cha's whole body tensed.

I saw a man in a black robe standing quietly outside the window, on the top of the two-storey shop across the street, with a pair of eyes burning with oil-green flames, watching quietly.

In an instant, the four eyes met, the air solidified, and the tense atmosphere was pushed directly to the peak without any brewing.
