Arcane Lord

the next day.

In the Alfa Square, which has long been under martial law, the twelve investigators finally changed from the depressed emotional state of the previous two days. The dwarf search master from the Dark Territory rarely relaxed his brows and smiled:

"Finally found the key clue!"

"Master Kandar is still more skilled. No matter how cunning this assassin is, he can't escape Master Kandar's true eyes!"

"We also need Master Kandar, otherwise we will really be embarrassed this time."

…

Several elven investigators gathered around Kandar, complimenting him constantly, making the smile on the face of the dwarf from the Underdark even more real.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. I am not as good as you in the subtle aspects of spell casting. The most important thing now is to fix the evidence, and then ask Netheril and Erlan to agree to let us continue the investigation."

"That's the truth."

Soon, just as the investigation team began to fix the evidence, Horn and Badigal, who had received the notification from Brundes, hurried to Offa Square with Yeerlan Ambassador Yinfu Yaris, who was also very concerned about the matter.

As soon as he arrived, Badigal couldn't wait to ask the investigation team, "Have you found any useful clues? Can you confirm the identity of the assassin?"

"We noticed before that the assassin seemed to appear in this square out of thin air, but this was obviously unreasonable. Today, with Master Kandar's attention, we indeed discovered something unusual."

Investigator Simo from Yin Erfalang had an old relationship with Badigal, so he took the initiative to take over the task of introducing the progress, "Your Excellency Badigal, and Ambassador Yinfu Yaris, please come here!"

"Which way?"

"here."

Seamer led the way, first walking south from the north side of the square where Ye Erlan originally held the exhibition, and stopped when he reached the entrance of the Austrian Law Federation. At this time, there was an elf investigator casting a spell, and there were people beside him. There were two staring.

When Badigal arrived, he could already see a lake-shaped body with a shadow frozen in the air. At the same time, Simo introduced:

"This is a trace of history. It requires extremely sophisticated detection spells that focus on the past to detect it. Master Kandar can detect anomalies just through his breath. It must be said that he is extremely talented.

"The historical traces you see now are traces of the past that have the same origin as the assassins. Judging from the direction of their movement, it seems that they just came out of the Austrian-French Federation.

"If the two agree, we will continue to pursue it until we find the original source or find clues that can determine his identity."

"Of course we must continue to investigate and assassinate a Netherese lord in Severton. This is not only a provocation to Netheril, but also a provocation to the Northland Alliance."

After Badigal finished speaking, Yinfu Yaris also immediately expressed his position, "Using the name of Tevi Mansa is also a provocation to Ye Erlan. Master Simo, please be sure to investigate to the end!"

"Yes, as members of the Northland Alliance, even if we don't offer you the high reward, for the sake of the stability of the Northland, we don't want to let go of the mastermind behind this matter."

With the approval of Netheril and Erlan, Seamer gestured to the other investigators, and the remaining ten elven investigators took action.

Although Kandar is experienced, he is not good at extracting and fixing evidence. Just finding the right direction for the investigation team is enough to deserve this reward.

Now that Seamer was accompanying Badigal and others to check the situation at the scene, Kandar felt free and began to wander around Offa Square.

When Offa Square was built, Netheril had already established diplomatic relations with Danzuo, but because the dwarves mostly lived in the Underdark and had little interaction with humans, there were not many statues around the square related to the dwarves.

Kandar turned around and only found two. One was a dwarf craftsman who was ordered to come to Netheril to prospect for mines. He was remembered in human history because he taught humans the more advanced dwarf forging skills during the prospecting process. .

The other was a dwarf craftsman who originally proposed to build an underground passage connecting Zenis and Askel. Whether in the past or now, Zenis is one of the most important towns in the western realm of Netheril. The dwarf had this There should also be such a statue for its origin.

In addition, the statues in the Arcane Square are mostly spellcasters, humans and elves, and some are priests who sacrificed to save the people in the past.

Apart from the surrounding statues, there is nothing else worth visiting in this Offa Square. It is an open space like other squares. If it is normal, there may be some vendors or performers to make it lively.

But now the place was completely under martial law and deserted. After walking around for a while, Kandar sat down on the steps in front of the Severnton Parliament with no interest, took out the wine bottle and started drinking.

Through the statues around the square and the text descriptions on the bases of the statues, he had a general understanding of the history of Netheril. He had to admit that although human life was short, it was no less exciting than that of dwarves. .

…

On the other side, Badigal followed Seamer through historical traces. At first, the traces pointed to the Offician Union, but soon bypassed the Offician Union and pointed again to the north, which is Severington. The direction of the Parliament, but also the direction of the Elven Embassy!

Seeing this scene, Yinfu Aris, who was also following Simo, suddenly became nervous. If the clues were extended to the Erlan embassy, ​​it would be completely unclear.

But he couldn't object at this moment. He had clearly agreed to continue the investigation just now, and now he suddenly objected. Wouldn't it mean that the suspicion would be put on him for nothing.

He has already received a clear reply from Tevimansa. This matter was not done by Erlan, so there is no need to worry about the investigation. The clearer and more detailed the investigation, the better it will be for Yeerlan.

"I hope you have the ability to find really useful clues!"

…

Soon, Seamer and his party arrived at the door of Severton Parliament, where the investigators also discovered a historical trace. In this regard, Seamer explained:

"The assassin is very shrewd and has blocked almost all possibilities of detection, but any contact will leave traces, even if he accidentally glanced at others while walking, it will leave traces.

"The traces here were left by him looking down at that time."

Horn, who came with Badigal but remained silent until now, suddenly asked: "Then why are the traces just discovered not connected in a straight line? Could it be that the assassin has been using teleportation spells to move forward?"

"After all, they are traces of the past, which are constantly dissipating. Only the heavier traces can remain for a longer time. If it takes a few more days, there may be nothing left here." Seamer answered naturally.

After hearing this, Horn returned to silence again. He understood that he had asked a question that was too amateurish. Fortunately, historical exploration was not his main field of research, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing.
