"Click, click, click..." There was movement in Ellin's secret message ring.

She glanced at the message on the ring and whispered in disbelief, "What?!"

"Did your instructor advise you to accept reading memory honestly?" Xia Zuo smiled contentedly. He had already discussed it with Beatrice, and all the mentors of the five resident mages would cooperate with this investigation.

"This is impossible..." Ellin clutched the message ring tightly, lowered her head and murmured to herself, "Why does this matter involve reading memories..."

Xia Zuo snapped his fingers to attract the other party's attention, "Listen, Ellin. Once I discover something in your memory that shouldn't exist, you will be deprived of your status as a mage of the school and lose your Spiritual ocean, losing the ability to cast spells and all knowledge related to alchemy and spells.”

Xia Zuo paused and emphasized, "Now, you have one last chance to confess your crime."

Ellin lowered her head so that her face and expression could not be seen clearly.

After she was silent for a minute, she sighed and said, "Okay. I accept reading the memory. I have nothing to confess, and what I tell is the truth. As for the crime...this kind of unfounded thing, after you have seen me Once you remember it, you will find that it no longer exists.”

oh? Accept memory access? ...Xia Zuo was confused.

This was not what he expected.

Shouldn't Ellin suggest that Beatrice, the respected and beloved head of the house, perform the ceremony in order to delay as much time as possible and wait for a turn of events?

Now Ellin is surprisingly calm and accepts Xia Zuo's arrangement so calmly.

Could it be that she has the ability to block her own memory and interfere with the results of reading the memory?

Xia Zuo has never learned the [Read Memory] spell in enchantment, and he still doesn't know what the disadvantages of this spell are and how to deal with it.

But he could basically conclude that there was a deeper secret hidden in Ellin.

If the person who came to investigate this case was an ordinary high-level mage, he would inevitably face difficulties in such a situation.

Ordinary high-level mages don't have detection skills, so they have no idea that the person in front of them has the power of blood.

An ordinary high-level mage would probably find nothing after reading Ellin's memory, and would eventually declare Ellin innocent, ask her to go down to the top floor, and call another resident mage to come up.

But Xia Zuo wouldn't do that.

He took out a bottle of inverted triangular secret medicine from his alchemy pocket, and handed the glass bottle over with silver sand, "Drink it, lift the elemental body, and then enter deep meditation."

Ellin pretended to be honest and complied, drinking the unfamiliar potion in one gulp.

After she closed her eyes on the silver sand sofa, Xia Zuo pointed at her and released a blood servant to drill into the tip of her nose.

Xia Zuo was slightly shocked by the news he received in his mind.

"So that's it..." Xia Zuo sighed silently, dismissed the hematin servants, waved his hand to change the appearance of the silver sand sofa where Ellin was sitting, and tightly bound Ellin with a solid silver sand cage.

Xia Zuo took out Beatrice's secret message ring and dialed a secret message:

[It has been confirmed that Ellin has a connection with the Church of Strange Demons, but she may not know it herself. There is a shadow demon of at least cube level lurking in the kingdom. 】

After Xia Zuo sent the secret message, he put away the ring and looked at Ellin who fell into a deep sleep after drinking the powerful sleeping poison. He shook his head helplessly.

Just now, when Xia Zuo was planning to use the hemogen servant to transform Ellin into a blood relative and further pry into her secrets, Goldfinger sent a message:

"The host is transforming Ellyn into a blood relative. The system has detected that the target has been planted with a darkroom mark by an unknown shadow demon. Do you want to clear the mark to continue transforming Ellyn into a blood relative? Attention! Once the darkroom mark is cleared, The owner of the imprint will be subject to feedback."

Isn't it a bit ridiculous that a mage from the academy was planted with the mark of the dark room by the shadow demon?

After all, the mixed-blood mage wears a human shell. He is quite deceptive and can easily gain the trust of humans.

The Shadow Demon was black from top to bottom, inside and out, like black smoke coming out of a chimney. With this appearance, you can actually fool the mage from the academy? ?

Xia Zuo thought about it carefully and felt that the Strange Demon Church might have taken advantage of a loophole.

For cube-level shadow demons and blood demon-level hybrid mages, as long as a person knows their names, characteristics and appearance, they will sense them, and then appear next to that person to lure him into corruption.

Therefore, Starry Night Academy has never imparted basic knowledge about strange demons to the academy mages.

So much so that Ellin probably didn't even recognize the Shadow Demon... and just regarded it as the pet of a certain Shadow Warlock who was not accepted by Starry Night Academy?

Xia Zuomam smiled and shook his head.

He didn't know what the specific situation was. What happened between Ellin and Shadow Demon was just his speculation.

However, Xia Zuo was a little surprised that Shadow Demon had the ability to resist reading memories.

Beatrice didn't let Xia Zuo wait too long.

Just five minutes after Ellin fell into a coma, a weak meteor streaked across the night sky, passed through Xia Zuo's privacy barrier, and landed on the floor of the top floor of the tower.

A figure in a white hooded robe appeared in a brief burst of bright light.

"Xia Zuo, this is my elemental puppet." Beatrice's voice came from under the hood. It sounded synthesized using a secret message sounding device, with a distinct metallic feel.

"Good evening, teacher." Xia Zuo bowed and saluted.

After he described the incident, the elemental puppet nodded and said:

"I'll take her back for blood testing first. As for the shadow demon, I will send Dim to bring the tracking tools. When he arrives, you and he will dig out the shadow demon together."

"Okay, teacher." Xia Zuo temporarily suppressed the questions related to reading the memory and dissolved his silver sand cage.

The elemental puppet summoned a wind belt to tie up Ellin, and then cast a powerful [Sleep Technique]. After ensuring that Ellin would not wake up, the puppet and Ellin turned into meteors and left here.

Xia Zuo is yearning for this spell that can bring high-speed flight.

He watched the two meteors disappear at the end of the eastern sky, and then used communication skills to call Yani up.

"Your Excellency, where did Irene go?" As soon as Yanni reached the top floor, she looked around in surprise.

Because Xia Zuo had installed a privacy barrier, what happened on the top floor did not alarm the people downstairs.

"Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked." Xia Zuo waved his hand and summoned the silver sand sofa for the other party to sit down.

That night, as a routine, he interrogated the other four resident mages, and at the same time made some insidious inquiries about whether there was any strange black shadow appearing in the city.

The responses from the four people were highly consistent. They all said that more than two months ago, a supernatural event occurred in the market area of ​​Pisco Fortress - more than a dozen civilians reported that the oil lamps and candles at home were lit and then flickered. , but the shadows of furniture such as dining tables and bookcases did not move.

It was Ellin who was in charge of investigating the case at that time.
