Throne of Magical Arcana

"Egret" area.

After passing through a stretch of low and dilapidated houses, Buck took Heidi to a secluded and dilapidated place, where weeds grew everywhere, and even in the daytime, it was eerie.

"This place is occupied by a small number of homeless people, but they have to run around for their lives during the day, so there are no people in sight." Buck pointed to the crumbling wall.

Turning around a few mud houses that were about to collapse at any time, Heidi saw the scene of the crime in the photo, with sewage flowing, flies and insects flying around, and the stench was blowing in her face.

"Those homeless people have no idea of ​​keeping their environment clean and tidy. Even though the entrance to the sewer is nearby, they still litter everywhere." Buck scolded, even a police detective like him who was running around couldn't help it. Frown, let alone an arcanist at the Atomic Research Institute like Ms. Heidi!

Although Heidi's own field of expertise is not in this area, the arrangement of the mandatory missions of the Magic Council made her not lack of adventure training. Compared with the lairs of ogres, trolls and other monsters, this place is as clean and refreshing as a noble lady's. Garden, so she walked to the corner without frowning, casting prophecy and necromancy spells to investigate clues.

"It rained heavily yesterday, and many traces were destroyed..." Heidi confirmed her guess from the magic feedback.

Buck looked at her expectantly: "Yes, we are also facing such affliction, that's why we asked the parliament for help, what can you do?"

He did not use the full title of "Magic Council" to show that he is a standard pro-magic faction.

At the scene of a serious murder, Heidi did not grumble or laugh and play. Instead, she took out the flesh and blood of the victim very solemnly, and cast the five-ring magic "similar positioning" of the astrology system.

The lump of flesh and blood in her hand suddenly melted and fell to the ground drop by drop, drawn by the mysterious force, pointing to the distance.

"Originally, this magic could only locate living creatures. After improvement, as long as it does not exceed a certain time range, it can also be used to trace the 'trace' of the dead. As long as the murderer still has internal organs, 'it' will lead us to find it .” There seemed to be a layer of blood squirming in Heidi’s left hand.

Buck looked at this miraculous and unusual magic in amazement, and once again strengthened his belief in sending his son to a general school to receive basic magic education.

This time, it was Heidi who led Buck, and the two shuttled through the "Egret District", tracking the whereabouts of the murderer.

After a while, at a fork in the road, the blood in Heidi's hand suddenly stopped boiling and twisting, and the dark red faded as if she had lost the last trace of vitality, exuding a rancid smell.

"Ma'am, what's the matter?" Buck asked worriedly.

Heidi looked around, with a very serious expression on the doll's face: "The connection between the 'similar' has been deliberately cut off, and this must be done with enough magic, magic, or knight strength."

"What?" Buck was quite surprised. This kind of serial murder targeting the poor would involve official magicians and noble knights? What are they planning?

Heidi wrinkled her nose: "I asked before why the murderers didn't destroy the corpses. Now it seems that they are not incapable, but have other purposes."

"Other purposes?" Although Buck knew a lot of secret files, he still lacked "common sense" compared to an experienced magician like Heidi.

Heidi looked around, and said casually: "Generally speaking, this kind of weird situation is related to evil magic rituals or cults. When they use 'innards', they pay attention to the fact that the original corpse still exists..."

"Then I'll submit your conclusion, ma'am." Buck wanted to back off a bit, and rashly getting involved in this kind of thing is something he, a police detective who only has the strength of a high-ranking knight attendant, can't bear. Let the high-level knights of the police department do it. Deal with it, or invite a high-level magician!

He looked at the forked roads, one leading to the outside of the city, and the other leading to the other side of the "Egret District", so he judged: "The murderers should have escaped from the city, and now it is difficult to determine where they are.

Heidi was quite excited. It was a rare opportunity to meet evil magic rituals or cultists. She eagerly took out the magic crystal ball and said solemnly: "I'm not sure, let's confirm again."

In Rentat, she wasn't too worried about encountering enemies she couldn't deal with. Fights of more than a certain intensity would be discovered by the lord who guarded Nexa Palace and the headquarters of the will of the elements.

The transparent crystal ball became pitch black under the magical power, and then a little bit of bright starlight lit up, forming a pointed light belt.

"I went to the other side of the Bailu District..." Heidi got such feedback from astrology, but she didn't have any specifics. "Let's go and have a look."

Buck was slightly distressed, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only follow behind Heidi.

"Ms. Heidi is a near-high-level magician and a legendary student. There must be a lot of powerful items. Even if she encounters an evil magician or a cultist, there will be nothing..." Thinking of this, his heart gradually calmed down.

At this time, he saw that Heidi had been playing with a silver badge in her hand, which was engraved with the symbols of the elements, which seemed to be a miniature of the periodic table of elements-as the basic thing in the field of elements, the periodic table of elements, even ordinary people Knowing it, many people even engraved it on their own doors, thinking that it has magical powers to defend against evil.

Heidi chuckled: "A medium for magic rituals."

"Magic ritual..." According to Buck's superficial knowledge of magic, shouldn't this be something that should be prepared a long time in advance?

During the conversation, along the path, the two came to a corner of the slum area, where people came and went, and it seemed quite lively.

"If it is a cult member, there must be a large number of people, which is consistent with more than one murderer, so let's ask whose house often has a large number of strangers coming and going, or who has regular noise at night, so that we should be able to find some clues." Buck said according to Own experience provides advice to Heidi.

Heidi smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Detective Buck."

In front of a low house stood a wrinkled old woman who was drying the washed clothes.

"Hi, ma'am, I'm Buck, a senior detective from the Royal Police Agency. I'd like to ask you a few questions." Buck politely showed his ID.

The old woman wiped her hands in a dazed and flustered manner: "Mr. Detective, you can ask whatever you want."

This kind of poor people who have never seen the world usually behave like this when they meet police detectives, so Buck nodded secretly: "You should be familiar with this street, right? Is there any house that often has a large number of strangers, or intermittently at night? so loud that everyone can't sleep?"

The old woman thought for a while and said, "No, I didn't notice, I rarely go to other places on the street."

Buck put away his ID: "Then do you know anyone who knows this street well?"

"Well, Mr. Moro from the Black Brotherhood." The old woman whispered, as if she was quite afraid of that Mr. Moro.

Buck nodded: "Then take us to him."

"No, no, Mr. Detective, you should find someone else." The old woman waved her hands in a panic.

How could Buck compromise? Under his stern statement, the old woman closed the door of her house and led him and Heidi to the depths of the street.

Under the low houses on both sides of the street, there are women washing clothes, men chopping wood, and children looking at strangers curiously.

"It's really lively." Buck sighed.

Heidi frowned slightly, looked around, but didn't speak.

At this time, the old woman stopped in front of the most magnificent two-story building in this slum area: "Mr. Detective, Ma'am, Mr. Moro is inside."

As she spoke, she helped knock on the door.

Heidi said abruptly, "I won't be visiting Mr. Moro today, we still have urgent matters."

"What?" Buck asked puzzledly, and Heidi's voice suddenly sounded in his heart, "Get out first, I'll do it myself, otherwise I might not be able to take care of you."

"Why?" Buck suddenly became nervous. Is this the legendary telepathic connection?

Heidi snorted without a smile: "The poor in the slums need to work for more than ten hours a day in order to survive, so during the day, there will only be children and a small number of women. Now, look at how many men stay at home , what do they rely on to support themselves and their families?"

Buck suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He was transferred to serve as a senior police detective. He had never had grassroots experience in the past. The ordinary police detectives under him might have discovered the problem long ago, so he cooperated with Heidi and said: "Yes , I suddenly remembered that we still have urgent matters to return to the police station, and we will visit Mr. Moro tomorrow."

"Hmph, you already found out the problem and still want to leave?" A cold and hoarse voice came from the two-story building, and the door was blown open by the gust of wind, followed by a strong smell of blood.

In the spacious hall, the heart, intestines, spleen and other organs are arranged in a messy and strange pattern. Not only is the blood red as before, but it is also bulging rhythmically.

The men, women, and children around all stood up, their mouths were completely split open, exposing their entire set of teeth, their tongues were full of barbs, their eyes became scarlet and cold, exuding an evil and paralyzed aura.

The old woman standing next to her suddenly became shriveled, as if a balloon had been punctured, and then she swelled rapidly again, her eyes were red, and she uttered a hoarse male voice: "Do you still want to leave?"

He raised his hand and pointed, and Buck suddenly felt a solid black energy condense on his fingertips, and the terrifying meaning of death made him paralyzed and unable to move.

"A finger of death?" In the telepathic connection, Buck heard Heidi's voice.

The black air condensed, and death came like a needle. Buck thought numbly, "Are you going to die?"

At this time, his body felt unreal for a moment, then became solid, and appeared on the other side of the street.

"This?" He came back to his senses in surprise, and found that Heidi led him to escape when the magic attack came.

At the same time, the "Douglas' spell absorption wall" stood out, blocking the crimson rays of the "split-mouth monsters".

"You are not high-level, how can you trigger it with a spell?" The hoarse male voice blurted out in surprise, his old woman's body collapsed as if unable to bear the force, and the flesh and bones fell to the ground separately.

At this time, many organs in the hall began to squirm and gather together, piecing together a strange human form.

Heidi snorted: "Although I'm not high-level, who said that spell triggers can only be used by high-level ones? This kind of pre-stored spells, which are triggered according to specific situations, happens to be in my research field, which belongs to the storage part, control part, I can’t simplify all of the comprehensive applications of the calculation part, information collection input part, and magic output part, but I can simplify some of the modules with the help of items...Maybe the fifth ring will be a high-level magician in the future!"

She didn't seem to be in a hurry, but her left hand kept pressing on the silver badge, which seemed to be a set of complicated spell-casting gestures.

The monster made of organs said angrily: "I don't understand, but you don't even want to live! Can you still use other high-level magic?"

He was about to complete his body, and those "split mouth monsters" densely blocked the street, and the magical power rising from the dark interfered with the flight.

Feeling the gaze of those red eyes, Buck's legs trembled slightly with fright, and he could only pin his hope on Heidi.

After pressing her left hand, Heidi suddenly threw out the silver badge, and said in a mysterious voice: "A cry from the starry sky, calling for the coming of the atomic universe..."

As soon as the monster heard the sound of the incantation, it immediately rushed out, its body stretched into a long blood curtain, corroding everything around it.

He understands very well that the power of legends is already close to the gods, so many magic rituals need to summon and communicate with different legendary planes to perform them. For example, many rituals of "Pale Hand" require "Silent Hell", "Bone Wasteland" and the Lord of the Dead Generally speaking, as long as it conforms to the rules of these legends and pays a certain price, the projection power blessing of "Sleeping Place" can be used, unless the legendary powerhouse himself deliberately prevents and conceals the demiplane.

And what made him unbelievable was, whose magic ritual could be used in such a short time?

Pre-stored again?

The sound of the incantation stopped, and the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet, the darkness fell, the vastness descended, and elemental planets emerged in illusion.

The "Light of Mystery" lit up in Heidi's hand, and the projection in the "Atomic Universe" suddenly enlarged, and a constantly fusing planet appeared like a sun.

With its assistance, a mighty scorching light swept across the entire slum area, and those red-eyed "split-mouth monsters" merged silently.

"No!" the visceral monster screamed terribly.
