Dawn of the Ash Tower

.,

Night, in Zhuoliu Town

Cheese and others hiding in the alley silently observed the small building where Heather was suspected to be held.Unlike the quarantine area where no one cares, there are two pairs of guards patrolling this small house, and guards guard the front and back doors.What's even more troublesome is that there is a condescending sentry on the second floor next door.

"It's hard to handle. I'm afraid we won't have a chance to get in with this lineup." Looking at the defensive layout with almost no dead ends, Leon said.

"It's really troublesome, and the guards here are too strict." Cheese also found it very tricky when he saw this formation. The number and quality of the guards here exceeded his imagination.

"How is it? Is there a way?" Blood Lion asked himself that he didn't have the ability to sneak in, so in this situation, he could only ask the mage if he had any means.

Cheese thought about it for a while, but still shook his head. It is too difficult to sneak into this small building without being discovered by these people, not to mention what is going on inside the building is unclear. From the perspective of rigor, it is not impossible to work hard to bypass the external defenses, and end up crashing into other people's traps.After careful consideration, the mage decided to temporarily give up the idea of ​​sneaking in here.

"The defense here is too tight, let's go to that Baron Gray's office first." Since there is no way to get in touch with Heather, we can only go to the next target first.

Without saying anything, Leon turned around and took the two of them into the shadows of those alleys again.And just after the three left, a person walked out from that building. He was wearing a purple robe embroidered with gold patterns, and walked to the street surrounded by a large number of pharmacist apprentices.The knights around all consciously stroked their chests and saluted when they saw this man.The man casually waved his hand to beckon the apprentice, and soon a carriage with the logo of the Kingdom Pharmacists Association drove out of the backyard of the small building. The man in purple walked into the carriage slowly. Kaibu took the carriage and disappeared at the end of the street.

On the other hand, finding the residence of the Apothecary Association is not difficult, and houses with flags embroidered with their emblem are considered landmarks in Zhuoliu Town.According to Leon, before he left, this place used to be the temporary command post of the Knights of the Kingdom in Zhuoliu Town, but it seems that after the arrival of the Pharmacist Association, this place was vacated to accommodate these pharmacists.

"It's not quite right." In the night, Cheese said, looking at the buildings in the distance.Compared with the place where Heather was suspected to be detained before, the defense here is much more lax, but thinking about it, it is unlikely that there will be hostile forces in Zhuoliu Town now, so in addition to guarding the powerful Hammer Knights, Other places really don't need too many guards.

"What's the matter?" The other two also knew this truth, so when they saw the resident of the Pharmacist Association with few guards, they didn't have any doubts like Cheese.But out of her consistent trust in the mage, Elsa still asked the cheese.

"No, it's nothing. I hope it's not what I think." The mage squinted his eyes, which was his habit when he felt a bad premonition.Thanks to the practice of magic, the way cheese observes the world is slightly different from that of ordinary people, and this difference allows mages to know things that others cannot perceive from farther away.It's just that the information obtained by this observation method is often relatively obscure. Although the cheese is sure of what he feels, it cannot be used as any substantive evidence to tell others.

Although the cheese said nothing, both Leon and Elsa could clearly feel the anxiety of the mage.The direct evidence of this feeling is that Cheese changed his previous cautious style, and he directly let Leon sneak over to knock out a guard.And the cheese himself also chanted a spell silently and waved at another guard from a distance, and the No. 2 unlucky guard fainted inexplicably.After that, the three of them sang all the way, knocking out all the guards blocking the road and tied them up. The mage was so unscrupulous that even when some guards who were disturbed by the noise came, he used unknown magic on the spot. stun.Looking at the guards piled up in the corner, both the knight captain and the proprietress suspected that Cheese had the ability to kill all the guards guarding the second-floor building just now.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Leon said to Cheese after knocking out the last guard.He was a little confused by the other party's sudden change of behavior.

But the mage didn't answer the knight commander's question, but walked into the building silently.And perhaps such a high-intensity continuous casting also burdened him, and Cheese's footsteps seemed extremely scattered, and he almost fell down once or twice without Elsa's help.It is obvious that the cheese has discovered something very important to make the always calm mage lose his composure.

Entering the building, the first floor of the building was occupied by the pharmacists on the spot. Various paper documents were randomly and scatteredly placed on the table and the floor, half-opened books and even unfinished food It all shows that this is not a place where secrets are hidden.The cheese didn't stop, and he didn't mean to delay at all on the first floor. He didn't care that the other two people were still surprised by the mess here, and went straight to the second floor.

Considering that there may be people left behind at night, the blood lion and the proprietress tried their best to control the noise volume they made when they acted. However, the cheese at this time did not consider this at all. His footsteps were in the empty corridor. It seemed unusually loud.This made the other two teammates really sweat. Fortunately, no one came to check after a long time. It can be seen that there is really no one in this building now.That being the case, Elsa and Leon didn't have to think so much, and they hurriedly took big steps to keep up with the mage, the unmanned pharmacist station, which also made them very curious about the situation here.

The second floor of the small building quickly appeared in front of the three of them. Compared with the first floor, the number of rooms in this house is much smaller, and what you can see from the stairwell is only five or six rooms.Lyon knew that although the number of rooms was relatively small, it was because the rooms here were basically used as offices for important personnel, so the area of ​​each office was very considerable.As for after the pharmacists settled in, it is estimated that nine out of ten of these offices were transformed into temporary laboratories.

There are fist-sized copper locks on the doors of these rooms. Although the guards may have keys, the few people who came in just now did not search the belongings of the guards.So at this moment, Cheese can only frown and look at these copper locks in a daze. If these metal door locks are not difficult for him in normal times, but the mage just cast too much and his body is in a weak state, so he really took it temporarily. There is no way for these locks.

Just when the cheese was in a hurry, Leon pressed his shoulder to signal the mage to step back, and then the knight commander raised his foot and kicked the door fiercely. With a scalp-numbing crackling sound, the heavy The wooden door was kicked down by Leon kicking the part near the lock.

"Sometimes it doesn't need to be so troublesome to solve the problem." The blood lion said as he pushed open the wooden door that had lost its lock.

Although he really wanted to say something, Cheese entered the room as quickly as possible in order to verify the bad premonition in his heart as soon as possible.This room that should be used as a laboratory caught the mage's eyes. How should I describe the scene in it... To sum it up in four words, it is empty.This is obviously unreasonable, and Leon and Elsa who entered the room later also realized this.Without the cheese order, the knight commander opened the other doors in the same way. Most of the rooms were in the same condition as the first room, except for a few pieces of wooden furniture that were already there. None left.The situation in the last room is quite special, because there are three corpses in this room besides the furniture...

Three human corpses.
