Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 405 The real doubt

"Senior, did you find anything?"

In the evening, in Randall's Ives residence, seeing the Wind of the Bell Lily who had returned from afternoon tea without any abnormality in her expression and mental state, Ives secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to invite The other person takes a seat.

"If you are referring to issues related to the true identity of the witness, unfortunately, the witness did not leave any clues that could reveal his true identity."

As if she had expected such a question, Alina gently curled her lips and responded without reservation.

"What about language? You know, even if it is the common language of the continent, some nobles will still change the pronunciation and expression of some words in order to distinguish their class."

After recalling his life experience in the Water North District, Avis tentatively asked again.

"If I were a witness, I would not make any changes at all." Seeing that the young man was still a little confused and confused, Alina couldn't help but curl her lips again and sat on the sofa closest to her. "Avis, can you clearly name all the nobles in the Water North District?"

"Sorry, senior, it was my lack of consideration."

After being reminded like this, Ives realized his negligence and hurriedly put away his stiff smile and bowed apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, you don't need to be so serious. If it were me, it would be difficult for me to restrain my curiosity, so," at this point, Alina paused deliberately, seeing the expression on the young man's face quickly and tensely. Standing up, she gently twitched the corners of her mouth again without changing the subject as usual, "So, continue to ask questions? Maybe you can find some other clues from the details that I can't find, which is very valuable. "

"I understand."

Avis was startled for a moment, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although during this process, he was a little confused as to why the senior did not criticize him as usual this time, but soon, fearing that the other party would immediately change his mind as soon as he asked this question, he finally forcibly diverted his attention. He started to think about how he should ask the 'witness' related things next.

Language habits have been eliminated, so what are the details that are difficult for other seniors to notice, but that I might know?
  Mansion decoration?

This is a detail that is relatively intuitive and easily overlooked.

But if this entry point is effective, I should have been asked about the corresponding details long ago, then...

"Don't be nervous. This is a process that requires piecing together clues from different levels. You can completely eliminate them according to your own ideas."

"I understand."

Seeing that his nervousness and discomfort were seen through, Ives first made a move, then stiffly twitched the corner of his mouth, barely forming a smile and agreed.

"Senior, do you still remember the details of the carriage that went to the mansion and the architectural layout of the mansion?"

After waiting quietly for a while, and seeing that the senior did not show any negative emotions, Ives felt relieved and put forward his first guess.

"The carriage is the Claude family's carriage, and the mansion..." Alina paused, quickly recalled the handling style of the 'Troubled' cornerstone along the way, and then continued without any abnormality, "I suspect The mansion was also arranged by the 'difficult' cornerstone."

"What about the waiter who prepared the afternoon tea? Generally speaking, when nobles in the Water North District meet with important guests, they will appoint their own butler or accompanying secretary to act as their assistant. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful."

Ives continued to give tentative opinions. "Rosa, a lady with light blond hair, blue eyes, about the same age as me, about 170 centimeters tall, do you have any impressions?"

Alina nodded lightly. Although she recognized the other party's answer and guess direction, she still didn't have high expectations for it and gave her own observations nonchalantly.

"No……"

After racking his brains to recall the nobles he had met so far and the waiters beside them, he couldn't find any clues and could only shake his head in frustration.

"Do you have any impression of that elder with silver-grey eyes, a relatively gentle temperament, and an age similar to that of the sages?"

Unexpectedly, Alina nodded again, and then talked about her observations of the appearance of the 'Sky Witness'.

"This is a characteristic shared by most members of the Kirwin family, but in fact, after nearly a thousand years or more of family marriage, such characteristics are not uncommon in the aristocratic social circle of the Water North District."

After carefully considering his words, Ives finally ruled out possible investigation directions for the other party quite tactfully.

"How many elders are there who have at least a quasi-great magician level in magic?"

Secretly remembering the term Kerwin in her mind, Alina nodded clearly and continued to work hard to narrow down the scope of the investigation.

"If we only count the magic levels that are disclosed to the public, I can probably collect information on 30 elders with such characteristics."

After a short period of hesitation and reflection, Ives replied with a stiff smile.

"That's it, you just know this information yourself and don't need to spend time investigating."

After silently writing down the number 30, Alina nodded gently again and did not continue to ask.

"I understand."

Looking at the unquestionable and firm expression of the senior opposite him, Ives hesitated for a while, and finally did not ask any more questions. At the same time, he quickly adjusted his mood and agreed.

"If the identity of the 'Sky Witness' is really that easy to investigate, then I believe he doesn't need to make those disguises that are so discreet that people can't start."

Noticing that the other party was hesitant to speak, Alina, who had planned to change the subject and ask about the cornerstone of 'difficulty', retracted her thoughts and calmly gave the answer that the other party expected.

"Sorry, I didn't think carefully."

After briefly recalling what he knew about the situation of the aristocratic class in the Water North District, Avis nodded with some understanding. Like this senior, he had a tacit understanding and did not actively violate the original agreement with the "cornerstones" of the "Sky Scholars".

"That's it for the 'witness' thing. Next, let's discuss the issue Mr. 'Trouble' mentioned before, shall we?" Seeing that the junior opposite had no objection, Alina casually took it out of her bag. After taking the initiative to share the information that the 'difficult' cornerstone had shared the day before yesterday, he placed it on the coffee table between the two of them. "Based on what happened today, I carefully recalled the scene of our meeting with that Excellency, and I found that there were I seem to have missed a question. Since Mr. Difficulty said that Commissioner Inzat is the external spokesperson of Sky Witness, what does his visit the day before yesterday count?"
