Master Tongtian

The hustle and bustle of the night gradually dissipated, and the southern market of Silver Moon Castle became silent again.

Rosen lay in his room at the Hound House, unable to sleep for a long time.

He closed his eyes, but the three-dimensional image of Thrandis' cabin was playing in his field of vision.

The so-called 'ironclad evidence' found in the house was naturally put in secretly by others.

Because Marpoli embalming liquid has a special smell, Rosen would not be able to smell it if it were filled in the room.

Because of the Home Protection Technique, the time for the real murderer to be placed is also fixed.

Only tonight, and during the time after Thrandis leaves.

The time is very short, and even if the perpetrator is extremely skilled, there is no guarantee that no clues will be left behind.

So, he observed over and over again, observing from all angles.

Every piece of evidence on the floor and every inch of wood in the room were not spared.

The angle of view was magnified to the extreme. If possible, he would even like to see the bacteria on the surface of the object directly.

When Rosen zoomed in on the window between the wooden bed and the cubicle on the second floor, his eyes suddenly froze.

In the crack of the window sill, there is a small black stain, which is the most common moist black mud in the market.

It can be seen that the stains have been wiped deliberately, but due to the concave and convex structure of the window edge, there are still many blind spots that have not been wiped clean.

He thought: "Could it be left by the mentor himself?"

But soon, more details emerged.

"This is a footprint. Although it has been rubbed, the size of the shoe can be vaguely determined.

"Although I can't tell accurately, I can be sure that they are definitely at least one size larger than my mentor's shoes!"

No one knew Thrandis' figure better than Rosen.

He knows the location of every mole on the other person's body, not to mention such obvious information as shoe size.

Although Thrandis is tall, her thighs are plump and her calves are slender, so her feet are one size smaller than a woman of the same height.

Therefore, this trace is enough to prove that there is indeed an intruder in the wooden house!

Rosen was refreshed and became more focused on searching for traces.

A few minutes later, I saw an extremely inconspicuous fingerprint on the wooden frame next to the window, and there were inconspicuous wipe marks on the glass next to it.

Through this fingerprint, we can imagine the state of the murderer at that time.

She reached out to open the window, her thumb clasped on the wooden pane, and her four fingers touched the glass.

The fingerprints on the glass were very conspicuous, so she wiped them carefully, but the fingerprints on the wood surface were difficult to detect, so they were preserved.

Rosen suddenly felt like he had found a treasure, and immediately compared the fingerprint with the fingerprints on the outside of the glass jar carefully.

The results showed that there was no match with the fingerprints on the outer wall of the glass jar.

In other words, the fingerprints outside the window were not left by the guards, but most likely belonged to the mysterious intruder.

He thought again.

"In a short period of time, so many bottles filled with antiseptic fluid and a complete set of antiseptic tools were put into the wooden house without leaving fingerprints on the bottles. Only the hands of a mage can do it."

"So, the person who framed the fault is a mage."

"But there are limits to a mage's ability. It would be difficult to maintain a smooth flight while maintaining the hands of multiple mages. So I had to open the window with my hand and put one foot on the window sill to maintain balance."

But this clue was not enough, and Rosen continued to search.

It must be said that this intruder was really very cautious and left no other traces except fingerprints and a few bits of sludge.

But Rosen didn’t feel discouraged at all. Instead, he felt inspired.

"Now, I have the intruder's shoe size and thumbprint, and I also know that the other party knows magic. So, where should I start checking next?"

He calmed down and thought carefully.

Such a clever way of framing the blame showed that this person knew the mentor's life very well.

According to Lasplin's description, in the past two years, the mentor has been reclusive and has had little interaction with the outside world.

In other words, the mentor’s social circle is very narrow.

Just find someone who has been in contact with the mentor recently and it could be the framer.

"So, are there any key suspects?"

There really is.

He continued to think about what happened tonight, focusing on the three of them.

One is Mr. Leverrier. The second is bounty hunter Olek. The third is the mid-level battle mage Veronica.

Mr. Leverrier is the least likely suspect. You can tell at a glance that this man is a hero in words, but he is brave in words but not courageous in actions.

The other two are highly suspect.

They are about the same height and stature as their mentors, so they can disguise themselves to frame the problem.

He also knows magic, and has been wandering around the Chengnan Market recently.

Rosen opened the adventure diary again, pulled out the images related to the two of them one by one, and analyzed them in detail.

First there was Olek.

This guy was unfathomable, and his expression was calm and calm throughout the whole process, as if he was just a spectator.

Coupled with a series of weird performances before.

Rosen felt that if this guy was the murderer, his rank must be very high.

Veronica again.

When Chabolai said that Veronica's magical achievements were not as good as those of her mentor, the mid-level mage had a trace of undetectable haze on his face.

‘Hmm~ This woman is really jealous of her mentor! ’

In this way, she is also a big suspect.

He currently knows the approximate size of the murderer's shoes, and the two people's footprints can easily be found on the ground that became very wet after the snow, so he compared them one by one.

The results were disappointing.

Both men have bigger footprints than their mentor.

As for fingerprints, it's too dark outside to see clearly, so you have to find an opportunity to observe them specifically.

So far, all the clues that can be found have been used. If you want further clues, you must investigate more deeply.

"But if I go any deeper, I'll be in serious danger."

"Whether it's Veronica, Orek, or the other murderers hiding behind the scenes, they are far more powerful than me, and it's easy to kill me instantly."

"Perhaps we can ask Xia Bolay to go with us. No, uncle and Olek are too close. He is also a big mouth and can easily scare others."

"So, do you want to go deeper?"

The opponent is too strong and far exceeds the limit of his ability. If he fights against him at all costs, he will easily die.

But another thought came to mind.

"Since my mentor made me believe in her innocence, it means that she has not given up on me, nor on clearing her own suspicions."

"At this moment, she should still be in Silver Moon Castle, hiding in the dark, looking for the real murderer."

"I'll check it out, maybe I can meet my mentor, and as long as my mentor finds out that I'm investigating a case, he won't sit back and watch me fall into danger."

Of course, all this is just his guess.

But everything has risks. If you give up the opportunity to obtain high returns due to risks, you will have to be an ordinary person for the rest of your life.

So, he made up his mind completely.

‘Go check it out early tomorrow morning and try your best to get to the bottom of it! ’

Next, he still didn't sleep.

"Since I treat it as a test, there will be results. The better the results, the more the instructor will value me and the more likely he is to impart valuable knowledge."

"The most perfect result is to directly clear the suspicion of the mentor and clear her name."

Therefore, he has to work hard to improve his abilities.

‘My opponent may be a mage or a samurai, or more likely an assassin hiding in the darkness who is good at sneak attacks. ’

‘The attacks against me include spells, swords, snake-like daggers, and even cold arrows from the dark! ’

After careful consideration, Rosen discovered that he had a major shortcoming.

‘I have no defense against sneak attacks such as cold arrows. A child can injure me with a slingshot. ’

Cyrus had a similar shortcoming at first, but he blew it up with glass beads.

You have to think of a reliable method, otherwise it would be funny if you were in desperate situation as soon as you checked, forcing the mentor to take the risk of showing up to rescue you.

So, how to intercept the cold arrow in the dark?

Soon, Rosen had the initial idea of ​​a defensive spell.

He immediately entered the virtual machine and opened the magic rule library.

After looking at it for a few times, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Weak effect spell constant structure, Mafka trigger, haha, the instructor gave me the development tools a long time ago!"

Without wasting a moment, start trying to create new spells in your virtual machine.

This experiment took a full two hours.

Two hours later, at 3 a.m., a stream of information flashed through Rosen's mind.

"The new spell: Resistance Field has been included in the spell book."

Open the spell book to view.

resistance field

Type: Triggered extraordinary logical four-star spell.

Spell power: 8.9 (lower level and higher level)

Spell introduction: The spell will form a spell film on the surface of the caster's body. When the intensity of external strikes exceeds the preset limit, a powerful force field that can last for up to five seconds can be activated within one hundredth of a second, giving the intruding object extreme power. Powerful reverse momentum.

This effect lasts for half an hour after it is released, and can be triggered three times in total.

Maximum casting time: 1 second.

Mana Cost: Variable

(Note: The spell consumption is determined based on the amount of invading material endowed with kinetic energy.)

With this spell, Rosen's biggest combat shortcoming was partially made up for.

But although there are spells, the magic power is weak. How much it can be done depends on luck.

"Just do your best."

It was already three o'clock in the morning and he couldn't sleep for a while, so Rosen simply started meditating.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths, four breaths.

I don’t know why, but the limit of meditation tonight has never been reached.

Just when Rosen was having doubts, the power that had been stirring in his heart these days suddenly burst out!

At this moment, the hazy red light group in the sea of ​​consciousness dissipated without a trace, turning into a yellow light as transparent as glass.

After another moment, the stars in the sea of ​​consciousness shined brightly, each one becoming very bright and distinct, like a peerless orb.

Even though the light of the yellow sun still envelopes the entire star sea, it can no longer block the light of the stars.

Several streams of information quickly flashed through his mind.

"Mana successfully promoted to low level!"

"Total mana +150%."

"Strength +40%."

"Polarity +20%."

"Mana recovery speed +100%."

The realm has been broken through, and the strength has soared!

Rosen slowly opened his eyes, a faint joy flashing in his heart.

"It turns out that this is a truly clear visual image ~ Very good!"
