In a corner of the noble area, the night wind blows hard, making evergreen trees rustle.!

Under the shadow of trees, there is a half-door two-story villa with a rough and heroic style, which is very distinctive of the Shahran Empire. However, for some reason, this villa looks extremely gloomy in the dark, like a monster entrenched.

Looking at the villa from afar, Katrina couldn't tell whether it was her true premonition of "the main star of fate" or whether it came from psychological effects. It seemed that the figure of the cold wind around her became increasingly faded and gradually disappeared.

Although it has been a few months since the incident and the villa was cleaned with the holy light, the alert that should have should have been removed long ago, Katrina did not dare to be careless and still used spells such as "higher invisibility", instead of simply relying on the strength of a knight to sneak in - she trusted and loved magic more than her bloodline power!

The dark clouds did not cover the silver moon. The faint light shone on the ground, causing the trees to drag out long shadows, like twisted monsters. Katrina silently approached the villa on such a slightly bright night. The effect of "high-level invisibility" left no trace. Even if a carriage passing by her on the night road, she did not notice a lady walking close to her.

Katrina easily entered the villa, then gasified her body and drilled into the hall, and began to conduct a careful inspection of the "campus scene".

The hall is covered with dark stone tiles with smooth surfaces. They are the same style as the usual style of the Shahland Empire. They are extremely huge, with five floor tiles that can be topped with Arlinger pattern.

Looking at the ceiling reflected on the surface of these dark stone tiles, Katrina felt like mirrors were embedded on the floor, and she thought in her heart: "Even in the mansion of Count Carl Carter, the floor tiles would not be polished so smoothly, and they would not use dark colors. In addition to letting customers wearing pointed shoes fall, there is only the function of peeking at the bottom of the women's skirt. Did the owner of this villa design this way for this purpose? Or did he have another idea?"

The nobles of the Shahran Empire have always been more arrogant and extravagant than the "peers" in the south, and Katrina dared not rashly rule out the possibility of this.

Under "Advanced Invisibility", the body will appear every time you cast magic, but after casting magic, it will return to invisibility. Therefore, Katrina's figure of changing appearance is constantly flashing on the surface of the dark stone bricks, with long golden hair and green eyes, all clearly visible.

"A few months have passed after being cleansed by the holy light. No matter how strange and magical magic is, it seems to have no effect......" Katrina cast all the prophetic and reconnaissance magic she could think of, but she didn't get much. She could only stand there and smile bitterly and laugh at herself.

Of course, she was not without gain. At least one thing could be judged from the traces of long swords, daggers, etc. on the floor tiles. That is, no one had used extraordinary power at that time, otherwise they would not be so shallow, which was no different from the traces caused by an ordinary person throwing the long sword on the floor tiles.

"The failure to use extraordinary power can only explain two possibilities. Either the official magician was completely controlled by the demon, or his power was sealed in advance. If it were the former, in the absence of reason, he would not have to do without the need to produce the magic he is best at and most lethal. Therefore, whether he worships the demon or not, his power should have been sealed at that time." Katrina made a simple inference.

If the magician participated in this killing feast because he wanted to achieve a certain wish and controlled himself not to use magic, then at the most dangerous moment, no wish could be more important than his own safety, and he would definitely use spells in his subconscious mind.

"In other words, you can understand how his magic was sealed from the corpse of this magician..." Katrina thought of a clue, but then waved her right hand in annoyance. "But this magician was identified by the church as the initiator of the 'worship of demons, and hung his body on a stolen rack and burned it. Damn the church."

She was always gentle and polite, and couldn't help but swear. If such a thing happened, the Northern Church of course wanted to find a culprit to appease the nobles and the people. An evil magician happened to die at the scene.

Since furniture, altars, etc. have been purified by the church, the entire hall seems empty. Katrina paced back and forth a few steps and suddenly remembered something: "Gulf mentioned that there was a knight present and died at the same time. According to previous reasoning, he was obviously sealed with blood power... He is a nobleman. Although his body cannot be buried in the cemetery of his family due to worshipping demons, it should also be in a high-end public cemetery. After all, the nobles will not allow a noble to be trampled at will..."

After she seized the clue, her expression became a little excited. She checked the upstairs and the basement, but unfortunately she had no results. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly felt that the warning spell was touched, so she turned her head and looked at the window in the direction of the garden.

Then, Katrina found that the familiar knight's will blew in through the gap in the window like a cold wind, and coldly and carefully investigated the situation inside.

After this will spread to Katrina, her "higher invisibility" effect created ripples, perfectly forging signs that there was no one here.

Titicaca, even in the quiet dark night, the window slowly opened backwards, and a thin piece of ice quickly melted into water droplets. Soon, the "murderer" who opened the window disappeared without a trace.

A black shadow came in, tall and strong, and his hands highlighted a snow-like pattern.

"Yakov, he is indeed here..." Katrina stood in the middle of the hall, quietly watching the figure walking around to check. From the familiar aura, it was not difficult for her to judge the other party's identity.

However, she was not too surprised that Yakov appeared here, and when Anna mentioned the dead magician, he was a little abnormal.

After Yakov looked around and confirmed that there were no items or suspicious signs, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he never noticed Katrina standing behind him, even though she stood so openly.

"I originally wanted to consider how to ask him. Since I encountered it, don't waste the opportunity..." Katrina's green eyes flashed for a moment, and she made a decision.

Yakov straightened his body and was about to look into the room upstairs. Suddenly, a trace of discomfort flashed through his heart. Come! Since years of experience as a mercenary, he rushed forward without thinking! Frost was wrapped around his body. At the same time, he was shocked and thought inexplicably, "Is there an ambush?"

As soon as his thoughts arose, his head suddenly buzzed, and his eyes became blurred, as if he was trapped in a fog.

"I have a question to ask you." Then, he heard a faint voice that was unknown to men and women.

Although the voice was strange, in Yakov's heart, he felt that the voice was so familiar and noble, both like the Lord he worshiped on weekdays and the girl he secretly loved in his heart. So he said with a little flattering without any resistance: "What's the problem?"

"What is your relationship with the magician who died here? Why did he come to investigate?" The voice continued.

This question touched Yakov's deep fear and subconsciously refused to answer. However, the inexplicable state of surrender and worship made him irresistible, and he answered frankly: "In early May, I happened to meet a formal magician and worked with him for a period of time."

"I provided him with information and led him to the underground of the plain to find various resources. He gave me some information to stimulate bloodlines. With these information, I corrected some mistakes in the past and found the way to become a formal knight. Then, I led the mercenary team to accept another mission. After returning to the Iceland, I heard that the magician was involved in the worship of demons."

"Because I was worried that his affairs would involve me and I was facing the critical moment of the imperial seal, I was worried and came to search, intending to destroy all the remaining clues."

Katrina was stunned: "Why did his affairs involve you? He was the only one who worked with you?"

The official magician is dead, and there are definitely no Yakov's tokens and other items on him. Otherwise, as soon as he returns to Carcat City, he will be asked by the church to "ask" him. What are he going to worry about? There will be no clues to this temporary cooperation.

"Yes, he is the only one." Yakov answered honestly like a lord who was loyal to him.

A man? He came to Carcat City with several companions, but left them to cooperate with Yakov... Katrina wrapped her hands around her and did the moves that Heidi and Reyriya liked, "What about another question?"

"Because, because our cooperation was introduced by Sir Duda, before I went to the ice field, the magician told me happily that Sir Duda was preparing to invite him to a private party, which was a good opportunity for him to enter their circle." Yakov hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth, "I don't know what kind of circle it is, but Sir Duda has always been powerful and mysterious, dominating the underground order of Carcart City. There must be a big figure behind it. I am worried that the magician's affairs are related to him..."

"If the church found him, we mercenaries who had contact with the magician would definitely be silenced by him. And I happened to know that the magician liked to use password marks to identify things, and was lucky enough to see them a few times, so I planned to look for them and destroy all these secret marks."

Katrina pondered for a moment: "Sir Duda is still alive?"

"Of course, I've lived well. I've seen him in the town hall in the morning." Yakov said with a trembling body, as if he was afraid of Sir Duda.

After repeated inquiries, Katrina had no more gains, so she asked Yakov to tell herself about the magician's secret notation characteristics, and then transformed into a body and left the hall and returned to the hotel.

In the hall, Yakov "accepted" Katrina's order and stood there blankly, until a gust of cold wind blew in from the open window, causing him to shivered, and he suddenly woke up. He felt like he had a dream just now, and he told the secret in his heart.

"That's too terrible... The Five-ring Magic 'dominates humanity," Yakov guessed what he had just happened based on his own understanding. "Is it the Magic Council sent someone to investigate?"

"Fortunately, that powerful magician just needed clues and had no intention of killing people, otherwise..." Yakov thought fearfully. In that case, whether he was alive or dead was all in the other party's thoughts.

"I thought that after I stimulated my bloodline power and became a knight, I could finally be called a strong man and get rid of the dangerous life that I couldn't help but understand, but now I really understand that the knight is just starting out and there are many dangerous people on it. I don't know how many times stronger than me just now, let alone the magician, the Sky Knight......"

Yakov held back his thoughts and seized the time to leave. When the cold wind blew, he realized that the cold sweat from behind had wet his clothes.

The next day, Yakov went to the Adventurers Guild to handle affairs normally, and Katrina continued to pull Anna to inquire about the identity of the dead knight and the burial cemetery.

At night, Katrina, who received the information, entered the neat but gloomy cemetery and found the grave of the dead knight.

Just as she used her magic to open the tomb, a magnetic male laugh suddenly came from the tree behind her: "Investigator of the Magic Council?"

"Who? Katrina turned around with caution. When she checked the surrounding situation just now, she didn't find anything, which shows that the man was very strong in hiding.

A handsome blonde man in a black shirt and a red coat stood in the tree, holding a glass of red wine out of time: "Good evening, beautiful lady, you can call me Viscount Karendia."

"Vissue Karendia? Mr. Rhine's grandson?" Katrina connected the man in front of her with the Vampire Viscount described by the teacher.

"Hey?" Viscount Karendia rubbed his face and said with a slight toothache, "I am so famous? Who is your teacher?"

"My teacher is 'Atomic Control, Your Excellency." Katrina felt a little relaxed when she saw that she was an acquaintance.

"That monster... uh, no..." Viscount Karendia blurted out, and then smiled with a concealment: "Your teacher is a real genius, I admire it very much. By the way, I am here to investigate the inexplicable death of my descendants, which should be the same as your purpose."
