Mage? Spell Engineer!

"Say it." Luo Xia didn't respond to the front desk waiter's request and decided to first listen to what kind of help he needed. At the same time, he noticed that there was a burly man sitting in the hall. The tea cup in his hand looked very small, and the strong man needed to sip carefully.

Seeing that Rorschach did not refuse immediately, the receptionist quickly explained: "Your last tenant was also a mage and claimed to be from Valois, and your registered departure point was also from Valois, so I wanted to see if you knew her. We I have tried to contact the Magic Guild, but there has been no response. Do you have any impression of this name?"

Do you want to recover the rent? But why are you asking me? Although the number of mages is relatively small, the probability of knowing them in a kingdom is not high.

After the receptionist finished speaking, he handed over the registration book. Rorschach looked at the registration book. Although the receptionist said that the tenant was from Valois, the registered departure place was the Empire. Could it be Teacher Caroline?

Rorschach took a look and saw that there was a name on it that Rorschach had never seen before.

"Sorry, I don't know him." After Rorschach said it, the receptionist kept saying, "Sorry to bother you."

At this time, the man drinking tea moved, and the teacup returned to the porcelain saucer with a crisp sound. When he stood up from the sofa, Rorschach saw the "human wardrobe" walking towards him. He walked step by step in front of Rorschach, almost covering the young man with a shadow.

"you are."

The man's voice matched his burly and tall figure, and the bass seemed to make the entire hall famous: "I am Knight Percival of the Iron Crown Knights. I need to investigate the room you are currently living in. Please cooperate."

The knight was very close to the young man, and he seemed to be giving orders in a condescending manner, with a tone that left no room for doubt. Rorschach felt that the other party was putting pressure on him rather than a real request. Since he felt offended, Rorschach didn't look good: "I don't want to cooperate."

"There is no one in Istani who does not cooperate with Iron Crown."

"I'm from the Empire and don't know anything about the Iron Crown Knights." Rorschach added: "Of course, I am willing to respect local laws. If you have documents such as a search warrant, I am willing to check out and let you go in and search. "

Percival didn't expect that any kid would dare to say this: "Sir, I don't need a search warrant, we represent the laws of the kingdom."

"Then the reason for searching the room?"

"No comment."

"Then I have nothing to say." Rorschach tightened his cane, preparing to prevent the other party from resorting to force.

"You rejected me."

"You are offending me, and you are offending an intermediate spellcaster. The Magic Guild's headquarters in Istani is right next to it, and we can go there to make a ruling. And I heard that the last tenant was also a mage. In this case, it is more important. The guilds should step in.”

The knight's eyes widened, his eye sockets were sunken, and his expression was ferocious for a moment. But Rorschach remained unmoved and allowed Percival to exert pressure.

Unexpectedly, the knight took the initiative to relent: "Sorry, I didn't think carefully." After saying that, he looked at the front desk: "Thank you for your cooperation, madam."

Rorschach didn't let down his guard until the knight left. He turned around suddenly and asked, "Did the other party ask you to ask me if I knew the last tenant?"

The receptionist panicked: "Yes, I'm sorry, I have to cooperate with the Lord Knight"

A knight, always a knight! Rorschach did not expect Istany to be like Valois.

"Is he from the Church of Isth?" Rorschach subconsciously compared it to the Holy Kingdom, thinking it was the church's arms.

But the front desk denied: "No. The Knights all obey the orders of Her Majesty the Queen."

"Got it, thank you."

Rorschach returned to the room and locked the door. He looked at the room again and felt that it was no longer safe.

The previous tenant's luggage had been packed up and taken away by the hotel, and Rorschach didn't know where it was. Since the kingdom was tracking down the mysterious guest, he suspected that the luggage would also be taken away by some Iron Crown Knights.

[Arcane Vision] is turned on, and there is nothing unusual in the whole house. Oh, there is a blip, the Pearl of Balaam brought by Rorschach, which cannot be put into the storage ring. Rorschach did not believe that the searchers would be honest after being rejected, so he could only take the risk and take the beads with him.

However, after putting the beads into a close-fitting pocket, they vibrated.

Is there a situation?

A new search begins.

Rorschach didn't have any good ideas, he just searched everywhere, with [Mage's Hand] turning over carpets, table drawers, and beds.

I actually felt something in the gap between the mattress and the head of the bed. This means that the hotel did not change the sheets! I want to complain!

Naturally, nothing big could fall into the gap. Luo Xia took out an envelope.

Really rewarding? After hesitating for a moment, Rorschach used [Mage's Hand] to lift the envelope and saw that the surface was blank. He then opened the letter without touching it with his own hands. "There should be no fingerprint tracking technology now. What I should guard against are prophecy spells."

After thinking about it, Rorschach began to read the letter. There are many pieces of paper in the envelope. The first one is headed

"Teacher Caroline?"

Luo Xia was startled and looked down quickly. The letter was neatly folded by a worker and pressed flat. My own handwriting appeared on it, arranged according to the date.

From last winter until this spring. Because Teacher Caroline had not replied to her letter since this year, Rorschach only knew that she was in Istani but did not know her detailed address, so all Rorschach's subsequent letters were sent to the academy in the empire.

I didn't expect that all the things I had sent to Istani were here.

Isn't her name on the registration book? Rorschach hurriedly glanced at the letter he had written and then put it away, quickly looking for any items left by the teacher.

But there was nothing else to gain.

I can't stay here anymore. Rorschach was worried that the guys from the Knights would come back again if they went back so easily, so he hurriedly packed his luggage.

Thump thump thump.

The front desk saw Rorschach, who had gone up not long ago, hurriedly coming down again, followed by floating suitcases.

"check out."

“Only half of the deposit can be refunded.”

Just as I fell and lost the money, Rorschach insisted: "Check out immediately. Also, where is the luggage of my previous tenant?"

The front desk didn't know what happened: "Already handed over"

"Leave it to whom? The Magic Guild?"

The waiter at the front desk thought for a long time before trying to come up with a word she could say: "Relevant departments."

Damn it, Rorschach hesitated for a moment, then took the risk and asked, "What did my last resident look like?"

The only answer he got was shaking his head: "Sorry, sir, I don't remember that I was not on duty when the lady checked in."

In order to eliminate the hidden danger, Rorschach condensed a little blue light from his fingertips to pretend to be a threat, and covered the other person's mouth with [Mage's Hand]: "The last question is not allowed to be disclosed to anyone. As long as you say a word, you will be punished immediately. Punishment! Remember?"

After speaking, the blue light entered the waiter's head, and the receptionist nodded repeatedly with tears in his eyes.

It was clearly still two o'clock, when the sun should have been strong, but at this time, the streets of Storm City in autumn and winter were shrouded in an icy white curtain. "This hotel didn't change the sheets in time, and it forced me to think of myself as a villain." Rorschach said that he was unlucky, dragging the luggage blessed by [Levitation Technique] into the heavy fog.

When the front desk wiped away tears and put on makeup, three more big men broke in from the fog, and the leader was Percival. As expected by Rorschach, the other party remembered that the boy was an intermediate mage and immediately waved him away. When the knights came in, several police detectives in black uniforms followed closely behind, filling the hall.

Percival got straight to the point: "Take me to that room, you know where I mean."
