Magic Underachiever

The chirping of crickets was particularly loud in the quiet night, and the sound of frogs could be heard from the pond not far away. The moonlight shone down, and the appearance of the entire farm was still clear in this dim light.

Sir Charles led Jessica around the discovered magic trap, entered the farm and stopped at the edge. There was flat land here, and there was no grass, which was not suitable for hiding magic traps. Therefore, the agents of the Security Bureau did not set traps here, but only placed four magic sentries.

The magic sentry is an alchemical device, shaped like an ordinary iron rod, about half a meter long, two fingers thick, and extremely sharp at one end. When using it, just insert the magic sentry into the ground and activate the alchemical enchantment contained in it. It can continuously scan nearby abnormal movements. Once abnormalities are found, it will immediately eject magic fireworks upwards to warn.

However, in order to prevent false alarms from the magic sentry, when the magic sentry is manufactured, the built-in trigger mechanism will automatically ignore the abnormal movements of some small objects to prevent it from being triggered by some small animals such as rodents.

As long as you understand the working principle of the magic sentry, you can still interfere with them.

Sir Charles took out a black ball from his pocket and put it on the ground, then gently turned on a switch on it. The ball rolled on the ground and instantly popped out six legs and stood up. Then Sir Charles used his cane to guide the ball to run towards a magic sentry.

The ball was much smaller than a mouse. It shuttled through the farm without triggering the magic sentry to send a signal. The ball with six legs moved very fast. It ran to the side of a magic sentry and then climbed up the pole.

The rest, as long as the last alarm component of the magic sentry was cut off, the magic sentry would be useless.

The four magic sentries were soon destroyed, and the ball returned to Sir Charles' feet, and the six legs were retracted into the body.

After seeing Sir Charles put the ball back into his pocket, Jessica said enviously: "Sir, when will you make me a 'universal ball'? It's really useful to use this alchemical item to destroy magic traps."

Sir Charles formally walked into the farm, and he stretched out his cane to search for possible magic traps that have not been discovered yet. At the same time, he replied to Jessica: "The things needed to make the 'universal ball' are too difficult to collect. Some of the materials are found by me in the ruins of the ancient magic era. I am studying these things now. Give me some time and I will make you a 'universal ball'.

There are no magic traps in the farm now, let's hurry up...

There are traces of magic circles there, I'll go over and take a look. You use your camera to take pictures of everything here, don't miss any details, especially the places where the Abyss Cultists and demons died, and collect the things you think are suspicious."

Jessica took out the camera on her back and said to Sir Charles: "Okay, Sir, I will take pictures of every inch of land here for you."

Sir Charles walked to the scorched ground. The magic circle here corresponds to the one on the Azure Cathedral Square. It is the retreat route prepared by the Abyss Gazing Church members and demons. Although the entire magic circle was severely damaged by the burning hellfire when it was used, Sir Charles could still see a lot of things.

Putting on gloves, the Sir tried to fill in the missing parts of the magic circle. Since there was no need to infuse alchemy and spellcasting materials, it didn't take him too long to just outline the lines.

Soon, a magic circle with an octagonal pattern as the main pattern appeared on this scorched land.

The magic runes and energy circuits on the magic circle are very complicated. In addition to the application of magic elements, there are also many divine prayers mixed in it. The advanced level has surpassed what Sir Charles learned in the Abyss Gazing Church.

Therefore, Sir Charles did not immediately interpret the content of the magic circle, but took pictures of the magic circle with the camera he carried on his back, and collected some soil inside and outside the magic circle and the remaining materials for laying out the magic circle.

"Sir..." After Charles put a handful of scorched earth into a paper bag and sealed it, Jessica called softly: "Come here and see what these are?"

Sir Charles put down the collected samples and walked to where Jessica was standing. Jessica squatted down, pointed to the ground and said: "Sir, look, there is a trace of dragging here. It should be that one of the Abyss Gazing Cultists was not killed directly, but was dragged to someone for interrogation.

There are also bloodstains here.

After being interrogated, he was killed.

And here, here... This is the mark left by the table legs and chair legs. I think the person who commanded the ambush of the Abyss Gazing Cultists and demons was sitting here at the time.

I don't understand why they put tables and chairs and sit here for interrogation?

Isn't it troublesome?"

Sir Charles also found this discovery very strange. The ambush of the Abyss Gazing Cultists and demons should be a very cautious battle, and any extra things should not appear in this battle. And the other party killed very decisively. In addition to some traces of gunfights added afterwards, the entire farm did not actually experience too long of fighting.

Sir Charles could imagine how swift the battle was at that time. One side suddenly rushed out to kill the demon cleanly and neatly, and then controlled the Cultist who was Gazing into the Abyss... But in this sudden rise and fall of the battlefield, there was a set of tables and chairs, which made the scene look very abrupt.

"Take a picture first." Sir Charles took out a tape measure and measured some data, then said to Jessica: "The style of this set of tables and chairs doesn't look like farm stuff. This is a major clue."

Jessica immediately took a picture of the traces on the ground.

At this time, a crisp sound not far away broke the quiet night, a bright tracer passed by, and a bullet flew past the side of Jessica's cheek with a fiery gust of wind.

Gunshot!

Discovered!

Jessica immediately grabbed the magic wand and used air magic to blow up a cloud of dust around her, then took out the alchemical revolver from the holster on her hip, activated the explosion spell and fired three short shots in the direction where the bullet just came from.

While shooting, he moved his position under the cover of dust.

Sir Charles's reaction was also extremely fast. When Jessica fought back, he had already used earth magic to shape a wall of earth to pick up Jessica.

Boom boom boom...

The bullets fired by Jessica formed a violent explosion, but the bullets fired by the opponent did not weaken. Bullets with armor-piercing and explosive effects bombarded the earth wall, instantly destroying the earth wall shaped by the knight.

"Force field shield"

"Stone crystal ice wall"

The earth wall bought Sir Charles time to cast more advanced defensive magic. A field defense shield protected them and Jessica in the middle, and three diamond-shaped transparent solid defense shields blocked three directions for them.

The incoming bullets hit the stone crystal ice wall without much effect.
