The building in front of everyone is the largest house in the valley and is also the most well-made. The windows of the other rooms on both sides of the building are pitch black, and only the ones next to the door are close to. Common sense is that it should be in the living room, a ray of light faintly emerged from the gap between the closed door. The bright living room is very quiet, without any sound, and the faint light is like exquisite bait, looming at the crack of the door, with some force in danger.

Catherine stood at the door with her eyes closed, holding her right hand on the door, took a few deep breaths to calm down, turned around and looked at Vivian, Lina, Dora and Panis in turn, and the four of them nodded to her. Catherine took a deep breath again. Although after the double confirmation between Panis and Vivian, there was no trap at the door, she still did not dare to take off the bull shield behind her back and lifted it to her side, and pushed open the door with force.

The hall is not big, only about forty square meters, and the lights are brilliant. Four crystal energy lamps are hung high in four directions of the hall. The crystal energy lamps used in the dance party are not very bright, but they can also illuminate the hall clearly. Catherine just walked into the door and before she could observe around, a dazzling white light burst out not far away in front of her.

While the white light lit up, Catherine immediately put the shield tree in front of her, and shrank her body behind the shield and pushed forward a few steps, leaving room for others behind her to avoid it. However, the high shield did not encounter the imagined blow, only Panis said softly: "There is no danger for the time being."

Catherine slowly moved away the shield and saw three people standing in front of him at first sight, less than three meters away from him. To be precise, it was not three people, but three people's images. A memory crystal was placed on the ground. The memory crystal was automatically activated and the images of three people were projected.

The three people stood one in front and two behind, wearing the same black pullover robe. The wide robe covered the physical characteristics of the three people. The hood of the pullover hood covered the appearance of the three people. The only thing that can be confirmed is the sign on the lapel of the three people's robe. The same hexagram and the same hourglass are the only difference. The only difference is that the mage logo in the head is golden, while the two mage logo behind the two are silver.

The leader of the mage with the golden sign stood motionless for more than ten seconds, as if waiting for the audience to calm down. After a while, he bent down deeply and performed a standard gentlemanly etiquette. He said in an elegant, gentle, calm but with a faint arrogance. He said in a proper volume: "Welcome, ten distinguished guests."

"I am very honored that you are willing to condescend to visit my small camp, but I have to apologize to you very much. I am very sorry, because I really can't welcome and joy to you in person for some reasons we all know. I hope my friends can understand and understand."

"Haha, haha." Catherine gritted her teeth and sneered: "What a perfect noble etiquette, I am flattered."

"As friends guessed," the mage leader obviously couldn't hear Catherine's angry sneer, and continued to say in that unique tone: "Yes, the person everyone wants to look for is me, I am the controller behind this thieves group and the publisher of their mission."

"Because some of my special hobbies, huh, it's a small bad hobby. I need some people to help me collect some very common raw materials everywhere. In fact, this is normal, isn't it? But, unfortunately, due to some old-fashioned legal and moral reasons in the secular world, this collection behavior cannot be seen, so I can only recruit some servants to serve my hobby. So, you also know that it is these thieves."

"But some time ago, I suddenly heard that my stupid servants had a conflict with all my friends, and everyone was looking for them to teach them a lesson. This made me very angry. These idiots were so stupid that they offend all the distinguished guests. This was an intolerable fault."

"So, in order to calm the anger of all the distinguished guests, I had to make a decision and punish everyone for their damn servants, so that they could never cause trouble for you again. I hope everyone can be satisfied with my approach."

"Although I have punished the servants for everyone, everyone must not be uneasy about this, nor do they express gratitude for my behavior. These are what a hospitable master should do." After the mage leader said that, he pressed his hand on his chest and bowed again. The two silver-signed mages behind him also bowed together with the leader, with a very sincere attitude.

"These bastards." Dora stomped her feet in anger and said hatefully: "They not only killed people to silence us, but also used this method to mock us. This is a naked provocation and absolutely untolerable."

"Haha." Panis said with a calm smile on his face: "There are even more excessive ridicule and provocation. Are you sure you are mentally prepared?"

Before Panis finished speaking, the mage leader had already stood up again, unexpectedly took the initiative to open the hood of the robe, revealing a pale face of an elderly man. The corners of the old man's mouth were raised, and his smile was filled with indescribable sarcasm: "I guess you must want to know who I am, so I'll take the initiative. My name is Sandy. Maybe you have heard my name before."

"I've heard of him, and I should have thought of him long ago." Vivian said in surprise: "The noble mage Sandy Rhine, a legendary mage, is one of the geniuses among the mages, but was wanted by the Magister Guild for many experiments thirty-seven years ago. Since then, he has been missing. I didn't expect to see him here."

Catherine patted Vivian on the shoulder seriously, and Vivian's face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and said, "Thank you, sister, if you didn't wake me up just now, maybe I would be the next one. Well, but it's not sure, after all, I might always... OK, don't pinch me, I won't say anything discouraged."

The image of the mage Sandy had a unique smile on his face, and he continued to say something famously regarded as sarcastic: "It must be very unexpected. I'm sorry for everyone's guess for so long. In order to express my apology, I specially prepared a simple meal for everyone, hoping that everyone can accept my sincere apology."

Sandy turned around, pointed to the long table behind her with her hand, and smiled strangely again, and then turned into a phantom with the two silver-signed mages behind her and disappeared into the air.

Looking in the direction Sandy pointed, there was an eight-meter-long long table in the middle of the hall. Three crystal energy lamps were lit up at three positions on the left, middle and right of the long table. There were ten hardwood chairs standing beside the dining table, no more or less, just ten.

When you walk into the long table, you can see that everyone is placed in the position of precious porcelain dining plates according to the strict banquet rules. Three sets of silver knife and fork are placed in sequence from the inside out on both sides of the dining plate. On the right side of the dining knife are neatly arranged with three sets of spoons of different sizes. On the plate, the dark red velvet napkins are cleverly folded into complex rose shapes and placed in the middle of the dining plate. On the right side of each chair, there is a small cabinet parallel to the chair, with various wine glasses of different sizes placed on it.

On the long dining table, there are only bread, oysters and oysters, and there are many things on a small table behind the dining table. First, there is the thermal insulation magic array in the middle. A pot of soup is stored in the magic array. A faint milky aroma and seafood aroma float out of the soup. In the same magic array, ten portions of the fried thorn fish that are just right in color appear golden color. The thorn fish is a specialty of the fish in the Naramiya River. It is extremely fierce and has a great taste. Although it has a good taste, it has always been priced. On the right side of the magic array is a large plate of vegetable salad. If you observe carefully, all kinds of good vegetables from all over the world can be seen inside, and they are kept fresh. I don’t know how to transport it to the dense forest. On the left side of the magic array is a huge ice plate, and the pudding with cold air is carefully placed on the ice plate to maintain a low temperature.

Next to the small table is a crystal energy stove, and a large pot is placed on the stove. The stuffy beef is floating in the pot, and the warm sauce is placed beside the pot to keep the temperature for people to use at any time.

On the stove next to the wall, the grill automatically rotates at a constant speed under the power array. The tender newborn rock sheep is worn on the grill and is grilled with tenderness and crispy. If you cut the belly of the rock sheep, you should also find the roasted silver bird. The roasted silver bird's belly is embedded with more tender roasted pigeons.

In the wine cabinet on the other side of the table, various wines are arranged in rows in different categories and are ready for people to use at any time.

With a "huh", another memory crystal hidden beside the table was activated again, and Sandy's figure appeared again. With a reserved smile on her face, she reached out to the dining table and said, "My friends, this is a bit of rough food I have prepared for you. It's a pity that I can't be with you and wish you all the blessings, nor do I have the servants I deserve to serve you all, so I can only ask you to enjoy it myself, I hope you can like it. Okay, it's time to say goodbye. I hope there is still a chance to meet you again next time. I wish you good night."

The image faded away again, and the silence in the room returned to the room, leaving only the members of the team looking at each other in a daze as they looked at Sandy's arrangement.

"What's this?" Catherine laughed in anger: "Do you want to invite us to dinner?"

"Obviously, this is ridiculous." Panis shrugged, pulled over a chair and sat down: "I can't laugh at our incompetence, and mock us for being ridiculous."

"But he has been exposed." Vivian said, "We all know who he is."

"What's the use?" Panis sighed: "He has been wanted for thirty-seven years, and no one knows where he is hiding. Now we know that he did it, and is there anything else to gain besides proving that he is still alive?"

"Okay, no." Vivian admitted dejectedly.

"Not necessarily not." Lina's eyes shining, observing everything one by one: "No one can do perfection, and often there are deadly clues hidden in the most inconspicuous details."

"Oh?" Panis was stunned, and obviously thought of something: "Are you Lina? Or Miss Marple?"

"It seems you know her too." Lina nodded stereotypedly: "I am Lina, but she is watching too."
