Please listen to the voice of black magic

"Yo, David."

White Knight David, who was checking the situation in the hidden basement of the Nares family's mansion, was really startled by the sudden sound behind him.

Although David was concentrating on the investigation, he also kept an eye on his surroundings, but he didn't notice anyone coming down at all, and he was still so close to him.

The well-trained white knight captain turned around instinctively and stepped back at the same time, his hands already on the weapons at his waist.

Fortunately, before he drew his weapon, he saw clearly who was coming and did not hurt his companions.

There was no hostility in the person behind him, he was an acquaintance with a smile.

"How did you come?"

Of course, David clearly remembered that he called the headquarters for support, but he never expected that it would be this acquaintance who came here.

"Miko... No, what is your current code name?"

The short-haired woman standing in front of the spiral staircase in the basement smiled slightly.

"A code name? As a semi-retired old woman, I no longer need a code name. Just call me Maria. Anyway, David, don't you also use your own name as an action code?"

"Okay, I understand, Maria, you're welcome, I mean, thank you for your support."

David knew the situation of this acquaintance very well. Many years ago, Maria would not leave the headquarters casually. Since she appeared now, it meant that the other party was the supporter of this operation.

"Thank you? But I have to tell you bad news, that is, so far, I am the only semi-retired guy who can support you."

Maria, who was still wearing sunglasses in the basement, smiled mischievously.

"When the headquarters heard that the Witch of Chaos appeared here and the large-scale black magic destruction occurred here, they wanted to send a large number of manpower immediately.

But unfortunately, it’s not just here that the situation has arisen. There are also some big and small problems happening in other places. There is really no manpower, and the incident here seems to be over, so the priority has dropped significantly.

In the end, I, a semi-retired person, can only be used to provide support, but don’t worry, when the incidents elsewhere are resolved, there will definitely be follow-up manpower, so we’ll just have to wait a little longer. "

"No, your support, Maria, is more useful than a large number of troops."

David is very familiar with the strength of this female white knight who used to use the name "Witch". The headquarters' willingness to send her here already represents enough attention.

"Oh, you really think highly of me. I think that when facing the Witch of Chaos and the Abyss Order, it is better to send out a large number of soldiers than to send out a so-called experienced white knight or a semi-retired veteran. force."

Maria took off her sunglasses, revealing a beautiful face.

"My abilities are limited now, and there aren't many things I can see anymore. Don't have too high expectations of me, or you will definitely be disappointed."

"I believe in your ability, Maria."

David trusted this acquaintance, both personally and on assignments.

After all, Maria is the only one of the White Knights who can see the "past".

Maria opened her eyes and looked around in the dark basement.

David looked silently into his companion's eyes.

Maria's eyes have no eyeballs.

After a serious mistake occurred, the elite white knight "Miko" left the front line, gave up the code name she had been using, and became a semi-retired person doing clerical work in the headquarters.

However, even if she hasn't been on a mission for a long time, the ability of this female white knight is still trustworthy.

"There's nothing worth seeing here, it's just a ceremonial venue like anywhere else."

Maria, who didn't find anything special, shook her head and put on her sunglasses again, covering her empty eye sockets.

"David, before I came to see you, I actually walked around this city, and then, I really made some special discoveries."

"What did you see?" David asked quickly.

"What I saw probably has nothing to do with this incident, but I can't be sure. After all, what I saw was..."

Maria was a little unexpected. In this large-scale black magic incident, she would actually see traces of the wanted criminal.

It might be a coincidence, but it might also be inevitable.

"If I'm not mistaken, I saw traces of the Fire Witch. This prophetic witch has been active in this city recently."

"The Witch of Fire..."

David frowned unconsciously when he heard the name of the Black Witch, who was extremely famous among the White Knights.

This incident is already complicated enough, and it is quite difficult to investigate the ins and outs, and then the Fire Witch appears again at this time, which will only make things more complicated.

"I think the incident you are investigating this time should have nothing to do with the Fire Witch. If it does, it will be fatal."

Maria sighed loudly, a little exaggeratedly.

"The Witch of Chaos, the Witch of Fire, the Witch of Gold, hey, is this some kind of exotic gathering of night witches?"

"The witches of the night appear one after another in this city. It is indeed difficult to believe that this is a coincidence."

David's frown deepened.

"According to the current clues, the Abyss Cult should have arrived in this city several years ago to prepare for the previous large-scale black magic ceremony. The numerous corpses found in different ceremony venues were definitely not recovered in a day or two. Everything is ready, and it seems that they have successfully roped in a local gang..."

"David, it seems that the ritual venue in this place is not included in the information the Witch of Chaos told you?" Maria asked.

"Yes, including the local gang's headquarters, we have found a total of three places where there is no information about the Chaos Witch. However, these places are no different from other ritual venues. We haven't found anything useful yet. ."

If the last survivor of the ruined gang hadn't come to seek help from the White Knight, it might have been a long time before David discovered the ritual venue, and it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't even find it.

This gangster's mansion is undoubtedly the most secretive ceremony venue.

"The last survivor of a local gang? That sounds super suspicious."

After Maria knew how David found this place, she naturally became suspicious of the so-called last survivor.

"It is indeed suspicious, but after preliminary investigation, there should be no problem with that person. The last survivor of this gang, Roderick Nares, left the gang family two years ago. Here, It is believable that there was no contact after that.

The day before yesterday was the birthday of the leader of the gangster family. Roderick wanted to meet his grandfather, the leader of the gangster family. He deliberately delayed a day, avoiding other members of the family, and went to meet the gangster family. The leader’s grandfather congratulated,

Unexpectedly, after returning, he found that the mansion was empty. He boldly broke the window, broke in to check the situation, and then discovered the underground ritual venue. He saw a large number of mummies here. Next, he He immediately contacted our White Knight. "

David only talked to Roderick yesterday. Nares had met him once. Of course, he couldn't believe everything the other party said. They would continue to investigate whether there was any problem with the other party.

"It feels like that young man is not directly related to this incident. Unfortunately, we haven't found any more useful clues. I plan to continue investigating this gang. Maybe I will find something."

"It's up to you, the captain, to decide how to investigate. Don't worry about me. I'm just here to help."

Maria smiled.

"If you need anything, please feel free to give me your orders. Maria, the semi-retired white knight, is always at my command."
