The sun is high

A subtle atmosphere began to spread in Salem City.

The Salem City police officers, who have been scolded as slackers all day long, are constantly appearing in the streets and alleys. Some silent soldiers, although wearing the uniforms of the Salem City Defense Army, but with completely different temperaments, carry weapons and hounds on several major roads. Patrolling and searching on the road, and in the area north of the clock tower in the center of Salem City, some Law Council mages following the actions of the Three Color Brotherhood thieves can be seen.

These mages hold magic books and hang various magic pendulums, constantly searching for traces of magic left in the air. No slightest movement can escape their perception.

Everyone knew that something must have happened in the city. Some good people tried to inquire, but they could not get any results. The police even used this as an excuse to arrest several suspicious people. However, after a severe beating, , they finally confirmed that these guys were just a group of hooligans who were idle and bored at home.

Under such scenes, the residents in the city were a little uneasy. They had not experienced such an atmosphere for too long. Therefore, most families chose to hide at home this night, and the children were also restricted to in his own room.

However, there are two types of people, no matter when and where they go out to consume.

One is that you can’t live without drinking.

two is……

In short, without these entertainments, these people would not be able to spend the night well. Therefore, even if the atmosphere in the city is so tense, Ladies Street and Shuihua Street still maintain a certain degree of "bustling".

"Tsk..."

Xiuge felt the vibration of the table in front of him and couldn't help but smacked his lips.

Even after Weilin had set up a magic ritual to isolate the sound, he could still clearly detect what was happening in the rooms next door. After all, the house in this area was really old, and any movement could be heard perfectly. Pass it on to your neighbors.

This is the junction of Ladies Street and Shuihua Street. Most of the buildings are old houses with about three floors, and they have been transformed into apartments. The renovators simply used wooden boards or bricks to transform these old houses. Each floor of the old house is divided into rooms of different sizes, which are then rented out to people who make a living on these two streets. The rental period is long or short, and the rent is variable. As for the environment of the room, it completely depends on luck……

Similar building complexes exist in every city. After all, for those who have difficulty meeting even the most basic living requirements, such houses are considered a rare place to stay.

In short, the most common thing you see below these buildings are the small vendors selling earplugs. Living in such a place, it is basically impossible to sleep normally without earplugs. After all, there are always people working and consuming up and down, left and right, day and night. The sound and movement made by such people are simply unbearable for ordinary people.

However, one advantage of such a place is that it is extremely chaotic, so even the most dedicated police officers and detectives are reluctant to set foot in this area casually.

Naturally, no one will register the guest's personal file. Generally speaking, the owner of the house only collects money and checks the room regularly. As for who lived in his room during this period or what was used for it, they have no idea. No matter what, some people even hope that guests will accidentally damage the cheap rooms they provide so that they can eat up their deposits.

Xiuge and Weilin naturally have no financial problems now. What they need most is low-key and concealment, and this residential area perfectly meets their requirements. However, Xiuge's original body just arrived in Saigon. When he came to London, he had stayed here for a few days to collect materials. Therefore, relying on his memory, he found an old woman who made a living by renting out houses and rented a decent room. .

Of course, the so-called not bad means that the space is enough for two people to rest, and they don't have to endure the horrible public toilet outside. In normal times, just this continuous noise and vibration is enough to make people scratch their heads. Crazy.

A faint wave of magic power came, and Xiuge turned his head to look, only to see a mage's hand suddenly appear behind the wooden door, and flexibly opened the door lock. Then the door was pushed open, and a man was tightly covered by a long black windbreaker. The wrapped figure walked in.

The moment the door opened, those indescribable sounds that had been isolated by magic rushed in. Fortunately, Weilin was fast enough. She slammed the door hard, and the magic ritual field came into play again, and everyone The disturbing and terrifying sound disappeared again, leaving only the bed, tables, chairs and other furniture in the room still shaking.

"I cast a hindering spell on that old woman, and she won't wake up within a few days... Even if someone forces her to ask, she will tell others that we are here to seek refuge with her younger relatives."

After hearing this, Shuge couldn't help but frowned: "Miss Weilin, with all due respect, such words are very unstable. Any experienced cross-examiner will hear the problem."

The female mage's gaze flicked over in an instant: "Great writer, this should be your area of ​​expertise, right? Then I'd like to trouble you to sort out a suitable set of words so that I know what to do."

Xiuge nodded calmly. He stretched out his hand and confidently asked Weilin for her magic pen. Then he said: "Of course you can, but in order to reduce the risk as much as possible, the plan I provided may It's offensive to you...but don't worry, Miss Weilin, I can make some modifications based on your opinions."

After saying this, Xiuge buried his head at the table and started writing quickly with the magic pen in his hand. The tip of the magic pen kept touching the paper, and the slight friction sound was quite pleasant.

Past work experience and the writing instinct buried in this body were superimposed. Soon Xiuge completed the work at hand and handed a piece of manuscript paper filled with words to Wei Lin.

After completing this action, Xiuge dragged the chair to sit a little further away, and then he saw Wei Lin's expression begin to change little by little.

From calm to confusion, from confusion to irritation, and finally even a little twisted.

"Mr. Shuge!!! Is this your plan?"

At this moment, Weilin Ernst was very much like the programmers Shuge met in his previous life who were angered by the success of the planners. She shook the manuscript paper in her hand vigorously, and her eyebrows became as sharp as the swords of the Iris guards.

Xiuge, who had expected it, shrank slightly towards the wall, then raised his hands and said slowly: "I have said it before, Miss Weilin... Under the current circumstances, this is what I think is the most reasonable. It is also the most feasible method. As for the details and the distribution of identities, we can still discuss it."

"..."

Weilin gritted her teeth. She finally resisted the urge to use magic to crush the head of the young man in front of her. After using magic to calm her emotions, she lowered her head with a straight face and started reading seriously again. Contents on manuscript paper.

…

The nearly 70-year-old landlord, Mrs. Wendy, was being questioned by two police officers on the street. As an old man who had been in Salem City for many years, she told the two young police officers about her rogueness and dishonesty. Patience is played vividly.

"Ha, two young gentlemen... do you want to come here to find fugitives? Or two mages?"

A bitter smile appeared on Mrs. Wendy's thin face: "Come on, come on, take a closer look and tell me, what kind of mage can hide in a place like this?"

She pointed to a room high up, where the windows were not closed tightly, so an imaginative sound floated out from the cracks in the windows, which made the two young police officers blush.

Indeed, they also felt that this kind of task assigned by the above was too outrageous. It was absolutely impossible for a female mage from the Legal Committee to stay in such a place, especially since they had met the Vereen Ernst before. Miss, everyone knows that this is a arrogant, confident and beautiful young female scholar. In any case, they have no way to connect the place in front of them that is full of skin trading with the impression of Wei Lin.

"Mrs. Wendy, I know everything you said is true, but we have to check..."

"There is no registration book! How many times have I told you that no one will register their own residents here! Young man, do our officials in Salem City really care about how many customers and nightingales come in and out of these houses in a day!"

The old lady's angry look was somewhat similar to that of the swamp witches. However, the slightly older police officer still insisted: "Mrs. Wendy, if you don't cooperate with us, then I'm afraid there will be a legal committee meeting." People come to talk to you... It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a register, you just need to tell me who has lived in your house recently!”

"Sigh! Who else could it be?"

Mrs. Wendy seemed to be asked about her pain, and she began to curse: "My damn nephew, a lazy pervert, fell in love with a young girl from Shuihua Street, and brought bastards here every day...even the one next door. The residents can hardly bear it anymore!”

While they were talking, someone came out of the building. The police officers turned around and saw that it was a young man with brown hair and a sallow complexion and dark circles under his eyes. Smiling, and next to him there was a girl with dyed red hair. She looked a little shy, holding the young man's arm firmly with her palm, keeping her eyes on the ground.

"Auntie, what you said is too unpleasant."

The young man obviously heard Mrs. Wendy's curse, and he argued: "That's not the case at all. I still think they are noisy."

Wendy cursed a few more times, then she stared and asked: "It's so chaotic outside today, why do you still go out!"

"There is a new bard in Shuihua Street. It is said that..."

"roll!"

The old lady pointed angrily at the street and drove away her perverted nephew in front of two police officers.

Seeing such a scene, the two police officers looked at each other, then each shouldered their shoulders, and then checked the simple magic pendulum distributed to them by their superiors. After discovering that there was indeed no trace of magic around them, they walked towards themselves with a sigh. the next goal.

"Miss Wei Lin, I thought your magic was wrong."

"I won't make mistakes, the only one who can make mistakes is you!"

Weilin's mood was extremely bad at this moment, but she had to admit that Shuge's plan was indeed successful. This made Weilin, who always relied entirely on magic to solve problems, a little frustrated. Of course, it made her feel even more What's uncomfortable is the disguise the two of them must maintain now.

Shuge was very able to understand Wei Lin's emotions at the moment. He shrugged helplessly, and then asked in a low voice: "So, Miss Wei Lin, can you tell me now why we have to go out at this time?"

"I need to go back to the Legal Committee's location."

Hearing Wei Lin's words, Shuge almost stopped his actions. In his opinion, Salem City is full of dangerous traps today, and the two most terrifying places are the Embassy of the Kingdom of Delan. Iris Street where they are located, as well as the Legal Committee's station in Salem City, the former has completely revealed its hostility towards the two of them. Once those Iris guards appear, even if Weilin is a lake-level mage, I am afraid she will have to wait. Death's share.

As for the location of the Legal Committee...

Xiuge really didn't want to compete with the professional executors of the Law Committee with his just beginning magic skills. In front of those well-equipped and experienced mages, any trace of magic he exposed would most likely trigger Their pursuit.

As a wild mage who had not yet been registered, he deserved to be executed in the street by the law enforcers. At that time, a group of drunken people would even come out and applaud his corpse.

However, Wei Lin's hand was holding tightly, and the magically disguised female mage lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression clearly.

"Okay, ma'am...what are you going to do back at the Legal Committee?"

"I need some refined crystal mines. Without them, my magic power will not be replenished quickly. Sooner or later, I will pass out due to depletion of magic power."

Wei Lin whispered: "Also, I need to find a record in the station, a detailed record about the recent mobilization of personnel and materials. After getting it, I may be able to judge the relationship between the Kingdom of Delan and the Legal Committee. What happened in the meantime."

She sighed, raised her head and looked at the sparse pedestrians on the street and the patrol figure flashing at the end of the street: "Mr. Shuge, at first I thought it was the Law Commission branch in Salem City. Rebellion, but it turns out that it doesn’t seem to be the case... Now it seems that I am probably the one who is regarded as a traitor."

"So you plan to start with the Legal Committee and find out the purpose of their actions in Salem City?"

"It's not me, it's us."

Wei Lin ruthlessly crushed Xiuge's attempt to fish for fish. She said coldly: "It must be a big deal to make the Legal Committee abandon its apparent neutrality principle and completely side with one party... I need your help. help."

More comes out, I'm burned out
